C1579 Fishing in a wok (1/2)
There were three types of people he could not afford to offend outside the pass. One was of course, the lord official, who was the most powerful in the world. The other type of people were all from the Master Yang, and they were mainly the Sha Russians. In the past, they did not show it after the Treaty of Beijing between China and Russia s, but at the other end of the pass, the Sha Russian merchants swarmed in, and gradually, the power of the Russia increased.
The third type of people were bandits, also known as bearded man, Horse Bandits, and Luozi. During the Qing Dynasty, the farming level outside of the pass was very low. In the bitter cold days, the people had to rely on fishing and hunting to survive, often fighting against nature.
With such a large group of people daring to kill, coupled with the fact that there weren't many poor bandits, it would be weird. In fact, it was also a tradition. Didn't the Qing Dynasty start off with a group of ambitious Manchuria bandits plundering towards the Central Plains?
This was a tradition, a long tradition!
The officials could suppress the law-abiding citizens, but the officials could not suppress the bandits. The law was just a decoration in their eyes, even if you were strong enough to break into the Horse Bandits's mountain stronghold, but you could not stop the bandits from breaking into pieces and secretly harassing you.
The official was afraid that they would run away in the middle of the night, so no matter how many soldiers they were caught off guard, they wouldn't be able to protect themselves, so bastard dared to bully the common people.
But no matter how scared he is, he won't forget to do his own business. Seeing that this group of people are suspected of selling stolen goods, I might as well contract this deal. I've also done selling stolen goods before, but I'm actually familiar with what doing business is not doing.
Before calves could continue speaking, he heard a slightly familiar voice shout out, ”I say, bastard! I haven't seen you in three years, you're fatter than you were in the past, and your moral character hasn't changed at all! ”
”Aiya …” ”Who are you?” calves was stunned, when the felt over the face of the person in front of him was pulled down, bastard's knees went weak and immediately got hit down.
That smiling face turned into an extremely flattering expression as it quickly flipped pages of books. ”Isn't this Lin Da …” Before he could say the word 'human', Old Lin gagged him and pulled him up at the same time.
”Shut up!” Don't you see that I'm all disguised here? You've revealed my secret, be careful that I might fall out with you! ”
The person who had come was the Hun Chun's direct descendant, who was the second most famous person in the entire Ningguta. She was two ranks higher than Wang Du, the General who spent money to buy, not to mention that the old man was a proper general who was in charge of military affairs.
The level and power levels were not on the same level. Three years ago, when the two of them met, calves had even specially given gifts to Old Lin.
”Understood, understood! Look at my mouth, I really should fan it … Master Lin, this way please. The shed is warm from the wind! ”If you don't like it, there's a restaurant when we enter the city. I'll be the host!”
”Enough, enough!” I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, hurry up and let me enter the city … You're not going to search my things, are you? ” Old Lin asked in a strange tone.
”Aiyo!” Aren't you scolding me? No one in the bastard would dare search you! ” As he spoke, his expression suddenly changed to a flattering smile, ”Aiyo …” I do not dare to search the city, but brother, I am in charge of the city gate, it is only right for me to ask about some matters, what business do you have secretly coming to the Qiqihar? ”
”I know that there's a war going on in the east side of Wusuli River. That brave army is making such a ruckus, yet you actually snuck out secretly. There must be something big, don't harm me …” After saying that, his eyes flashed. Behind him, some quick-witted soldiers quietly led people to block the city gate.
”Aiyo!” What do you mean? This is a soft knife forcing me! ” Old Lin pretended to be angry.
”Don't, don't, don't. I don't deserve your words!” To be honest, we are all brothers, so why not say it? Besides, don't you know what I do? If you need anything, I can help! We are in the business of helping! ”You said no …”
Old Lin wanted to slap him when he saw his scoundrel's face, but he still had to use him. He could only hold back his anger and sneer, ”I won't hide it from you, brother. I have some good stuff to sell, and we can't eat anymore. I want to try my luck here!”
