Chapter 8 Wandering Foreigners

Fan Xi immediately struggled to stop Xiao Tianjian, but was immediately forced by two soldiers of Xing Tianjun with knives and rushed to the side. Xiao Tianjian was even more convinced that he must be an important person in this car. He had no good impression on Daming's merchants. Although these people were the richest people in Daming, they were not He doesn't take many obligations on this country. By colluding with the government and the protection of the bureaucrats, he doesn't pay taxes. He takes advantage of the chaos to make money, gathers a huge amount of money to hoard goods, and harm the people. Therefore, from any perspective, there is no moral wrong for him to rob these merchants, and there will be no burden of conscience.

When Xiao Tianjian strode to the van, suddenly a squatter stood up, stopped Xiao Tianjian's way, and said to Xiao Tianjian in stiff Chinese, "Don't offend my lady!" You can't get close to this car!"

Xiao Tianjian looked at the man who stopped him on his way, and his eyes suddenly widened. The man standing in front of him was very tall. His own figure was already very strange in this era. Except for the children of generations of aristocrats, there would occasionally be a big man like him because of adequate nutrition. In addition, it is difficult for ordinary people to grow as tall and strong as him, and the person in front of him is actually taller than his figure, about 1.85 meters. Standing there makes ordinary people feel depressed.

It's just a figure. A big man is nothing. The main reason that surprised Xiao Tianjian is the man's ethnic problem. The tall guy in front of him actually has brown hair and blue eyes. At a glance, he knows that he is a hundred people from Europe and wears a Western sword at his waist. As soon as he sees this A foreigner, several soldiers immediately rushed over and forced the foreign devil with knives and guns, for fear that the guy would hurt Xiao Tianjian. Someone immediately went up and took the sword on his waist and forced him to retreat. Liu Bao went up with a knife handle and knocked the foreigner and squatted on the ground.

Xiao Tianjian quickly stopped everyone from hurting the foreigner, but he was a little dizzy. Today, this matter is really strange. In this era, although European countries have established east-west routes, the Portuguese should have deceived Macao, and Western missionaries have also begun to infiltrate into China. China, but in his memory, the activity area of Europeans should also be limited to coastal areas or in big cities such as Nanjing and Beijing. He didn't think that such a foreign devil could be seen in Shanxi today!

This is really a big world! Today, he met everything, and the members of Xing Tianjun had never seen such a foreigner, so they all cast curious glances at this foreigner.

"Yo? Unexpectedly, there is a foreigner here! Ha ha! That's strange! Let me ask you, who are you and why are you in this place? To be honest, I won't hurt you!" Xiao Tianjian asked people to retreat and went to the foreigner and asked him.

The foreigner rubbed the shoulder that was hurt by Liu Bao and protested loudly, "I want to protest, you are barbarians!" It's immoral for you to do this!"

Xiao Tianjian was very happy. He squatted down and said to the foreigner, "Yes, we are indeed barbaric, but you foreigners are not much better. Are there no robbers in your country? So what about you? Didn't you come to China after pursuing interests? Tell me, how did you get here, you foreign devil?

Look at Xiao Tianjian, the leader of the robber, who was still polite to him, but seemed to be curious about him, so the foreigner stood up and replied to Xiao Tianjian in some astringent Chinese: "My name is Juan. Cleo is a Portuguese, that is, what you call a Francoisan. I used to be a supporter, and later became a follower of Father Borman. I followed the priest to your country to spread the great teachings of God. I also took a Chinese name, Gao Su, but unfortunately Father Boman unfortunately fell ill and went to heaven. I was the only one left here. If it weren't for Liang, I would have starved to death, so this time I followed Miss Liang to Nanjing and then returned to my country. My duty is now to protect Miss Liang. I can't let you harm Miss Liang!"

And Liang Xi, who was watched beside him, heard the foreign devil's unspoken words and said the identity of the person in the car. He blew his beard and stared angrily, but there was no choice but to stare at him.

After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian immediately laughed. It turned out that this guy was a foreign tramp. He must have wandered all the way to China with the idea of going to foreign gold. Unexpectedly, the priest was unlucky and died in China. So this guy lost his livelihood and couldn't get along. Fortunately, he got this. The kindness of the Liang family asked him to follow the caravan to Nanjing and protect the Miss Liang family by the way. This is a precious thing. Since he met him, he could not let it go, so he smiled brightly and told Liu Bao behind him, "This guy is very good, principled and loyal to him. Not bad! Take him down and follow me later!"

Liu Bao was also curious about this foreign devil, so he waved a few people and immediately took this Juan. Cleo tied it up and dragged it aside.

"What do you want? You can't catch me! ......”

"Shut up! If you shout again, do you believe that I will knock you out? Liu Bao threatened this guy loudly.

Juan. Although Cleo was very brave, he was not stupid. He also knew that he could not fight against this group of robbers on his own, so he had to shut up, but resolutely refused to kneel down according to Liu Bao's requirements.

Xiao Tianjian ignored this Juan for the time being. Cleo, thought for a moment, and a bad smile appeared on his face. The Liang family seemed to be indeed a rich owner. This random shipment is worth a lot of money. So it seems that his family's family should be quite strong. Is there any reason to let such a fat sheep in front of him go?

At this time, Li Lingfeng quickly came over and came to Xiao Tianjian's fitness and whispered to Xiao Tianjian, "Big master, this Liang family is a famous merchant in Shanxi. Private salt, grain, iron, cloth and tea are almost everything they do. They are the giants in the early years in Shanxi. The stores of the Liang family can be said to be all over the north. It's not easy to mess with!"

After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian was not afraid, but also strengthened his confidence. He sneered and said, "So according to you, this should be a fat sheep?"

Li Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, looked at Xiao Tianjian's expression, and immediately understood Xiao Tianjian's idea. Then he thought that Xiao Tianjian even dared to make the opposition of the court. What else would make him afraid? Xiao Tianjian's bold fat Xing Tianjun, who doesn't know that he dares to face the officers and soldiers who shake He Renlong with a small number of troops, and dares not pay attention to Gao Yingxiang when there is absolutely no advantage in military strength. So what else can scare him?

Although the Liang family is rich and may still be very powerful, can this scare Xiao Tianjian? It seemed that it was unlikely, and Li Lingfeng immediately understood what Xiao Tianjian wanted to do, so he smiled and replied boldly, "It's a fat sheep!"

"Ha ha, then there's nothing to be polite!" Xiao Tianjian reached out and patted Li Lingfeng on the shoulder, turned his head to Liang Xi, and sneered and said, "I didn't want to tie any meat tickets, but you don't blame me for today's incident. It's you who annoyed me. Since your lady is in the car, you must be very favored!" OK! Then Xiao is not polite. You go back and tell your master and let him wait for the news. I will inform him how much ransom I want later and let him be ready!"

Liang Xi's face suddenly turned pale. He knelt down to Xiao Tianjian with a plop and kowtow heavily and said, "Master, raise your hand!" You can do whatever you want. Our Liang family has a shop in Xiezhou. No matter how much money you want, I will immediately send someone to pick it up in Xiezhou. My grandfather is only a young lady... No! Please ask the good man to raise your hand and let go of my young lady. How much money do you want? Just say it!"

Xiao Tianjian was stunned for a moment. According to what Liang Xi said, he was just a housekeeper. How could he offer such a high condition? And it seemed that his words were not finished. Their master was only a young lady... one what? Is it a single seedling? Yo-yo! It seems that I'm lucky again this time! This fat sheep is not ordinary fat. If there are ten or eight daughters in the family surnamed Liang, then it is not too valuable to tie one back. If there is only such a single seedling, it will be worth a lot!

"Stop talking nonsense, how can I wait for you to get the money here! If you don't keep your word, it's not money, but a lot of officers and soldiers, won't I have bad luck? Don't say more. I'll keep your young lady. Don't worry. We have our rules and will never insult your young lady. Go back and wait for the news! Come on, please get out of the car! Come with us!" Xiao Tianjian's play became more and more similar. Even he believed in himself and was a thief.

Hearing Xiao Tianjian's instructions, Liu Bao immediately rushed to the side of the car with a few people. He pulled off the curtain and wanted to go up and drag Miss Liang in the car out of the car. Suddenly, several people were shocked and stopped acting one after another. He shouted to Xiao Tianjian, "The master, come and have a look!"

Xiao Tianjian also felt something wrong, so he took three steps and two steps to the side of the car and leaned into the car. As a result, he seemed to have been hit by a bullet, and his body suddenly stiffened and showed surprise.
