Chapter 117

In the field, a big white man was stepping on the head of the thin boss, and his wife next to him was knocked to the ground. The little girl who had just washed the dishes was lying on the woman's body and calling her mother heartbreakingly.

There were many people watching around, most of whom were from Ming Dynasty.

Chinese people like to watch, from watching quarrels to watching murders. They always put themselves in the perspective of a bystander, and can find reasons to be excited or happy.

Based on his identity, Li Xiao hates foreigners bullying Chinese people from the bottom of his heart.

I have heard about too many foreigners running rampant on Chinese soil since I was a child, and now I see with my own eyes that the anger in my heart rushes from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

"Take your feet away!" Li Xiao's expression was gloomy. When Ai Husheng saw Li Xiao's expression, he knew that Li Xiao was really angry. These white-skinned pigs are going to be unlucky today!

"Yellow-skinned monkey, mind your own business." Ai Husheng did not expect that before he had time to translate, the white man who led him spoke first, speaking authentic Ming Dynasty Mandarin.

"Oh! So you can speak human language, let him go. Otherwise, you will never be able to use this leg again in your life!" Li Xiao's face was so gloomy that water could drip from his face.

"Hahaha! I know you are a powerful person, but this is in Macau. On the territory of our East India Company, it is not enough for you to show off your power." This guy spoke Mandarin very smoothly, and Li Xiao felt that he did not want to live in the mainland.

For more than ten years, the official saying will definitely not be so good.

"Then let's see today whether I, a powerful dragon, can defeat a local snake like you."

"That's easy to say! Macau was leased by our East India Company from your court, so if you do business in Macau, do you have to pay taxes to our East India Company?

Someone rented your house, and now you have to collect rent if you sublet it, right?" The big white man actually said it clearly and Ai Husheng nodded slightly.

"Pay your mother's taxes! Regardless of whether this Macau is rented to you or not, the Ming Dynasty's land can only be collected by the court and His Majesty. Who are you?" Li Xiao pointed at the big man's nose, wanting to go over and slap him.

"Haha! The agreement we signed with your court regarding the collection of ground rent is written in black and white. No matter how powerful you are, you can't go back on your words. In the words of you Han people, you can't be dishonest!

I don’t care who you are, this is how I collected money in the past. I still collect money this way today, and I will collect money this way in the future. Who asked your court to rent Macau to me, the East India Company? If you want to break up, go ahead

Find the gentlemen of your court. Hahaha!"

This bastard actually knows the word "break up". Li Xiao can be sure that he has been in the capital for at least ten years.

Who rented out Macau in the first place, that damn bastard. This is a fucking insult to the country! Li Xiao hated the guy who signed the treaty in the first place, so he had time to ask. If this guy dies, he will get it from the grave.

Dig out the corpse and whip it. If it's not dead, dig a hole and bury it.

People like this live just to waste air for the Ming Empire.

"It's hopeless!" The big white man said "hey" and "hey" with a strange smile.

"How much money will we pay for him?" Ai Husheng saw that Li Xiao was so angry that his head was smoking, and he hurriedly put an end to the matter. He was still a businessman at heart, and believed that violence should be used to gain profits. Not like this street gangster.

Fighting pointlessly.

"Ouch! The weather is so nice today. I didn't expect you to meet a generous person. Since you are willing to pay for them, then just pay five thousand taels." The big white man spoke in a sinister manner, while talking about the foot.

He even crushed the wonton stall owner in the face.

The rough bluestone rubbed against the skin, and the screams echoed throughout the street. The onlookers made a commotion, but no one stood up to stop it. Li Xiao even saw a few people whispering and pointing!

"Why don't you go grab it?" When Ai Husheng heard the price, his jaw almost dropped to the ground. Setting up a stall in the imperial city of the capital would not cost so much money. Can gold grow in Macau?

"Okay! I'll give it!" What surprised Ai Husheng even more was that Li Xiao actually agreed.

"Sir! He is blackmailing someone!" Ai Husheng was not sure whether Li Xiao's mind was clear now.

"Tell someone to get the money!" Li Xiao shouted, and Ai Husheng hurriedly sent someone back. At the same time, he told Li Hu to bring more people out.

"Okay, we are willing to pay. Can you let him go?" Li Xiao pointed to the wonton stall owner on the ground.

"Haha! Now I have changed my mind. Their location is good, and I want to double the land rent. Ten thousand taels of silver!" When McCarthy saw Li Xiao's promise, he immediately opened his mouth.

"You...!" Ai Husheng was about to stab someone with a knife. This was so shameless.

"Okay! I will give you 10,000 taels of silver, and I will send someone back to get it." What Ai Husheng didn't expect was that Li Xiao, who had always been grumpy, didn't get angry and agreed to the price, which was obviously a blackmail.

"No problem! As long as you give me money, it's no problem." The white man was also surprised. Unexpectedly, Li Xiao actually agreed. That was ten thousand taels of silver, and he only earned this amount in five years in the East India Company. This is

The salary is also second to none in Macau.

Now he regrets not asking for more, but even if he is as shameless as a city wall, he can't say anything about increasing the price.

The big feet wearing leather boots were removed from the face of the wonton stall owner. Jiang Chaozong quickly led others to pull the owner's wife and children over.

"What's your name?" Li Xiao looked at the big white man in front of him and asked.

"My name is McCarthy!"

"Okay! McCarthy, let me ask you something. According to what you said, your East India Company has an agreement with Ming Dynasty. Ming Dynasty leased this land to you, right?"

"Yes!" McCarthy didn't understand what kind of medicine Li Xiao Gourd sold.

"Then our Ming Dynasty didn't say that we will sell people to you too."

"Uh...! That's not true!" McCarthy was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

"Okay! They owe you five thousand taels of land rent, but if you beat the people of the Ming Dynasty at will, I, the official of the Ming Dynasty, cannot watch.

Look at the face, the skin has been worn away and the dirt has entered the flesh. Even if it is cured, it will still be disfigured. A good person has been disfigured by you. I want four thousand taels of compensation from you, which is not expensive.

Bar!"

"I...!" McCarthy's eyes widened. Only then did he realize that he had been deceived by Li Xiao. But Li Xiao was justified, and he couldn't think of a way to refute it.

"Even if it's four thousand taels, then he still owes us six thousand taels." At this point, McCarthy could only yell with a stiff neck.

"Don't worry! Look, this person has been knocked unconscious by you. He may have injured his brain, and he may not be able to work in the future. I should ask you for 10,000 taels of medicine, right?"

"You are blackmailing me!"

"Why is this blackmail? Did you step on this face? Did you knock this person unconscious? With so many people watching, I didn't arrange it for you. I always pay attention to evidence when enforcing the law. Now it is certified.

The physical evidence is all there, so what else can you say?”

"you……!"

"Oh! By the way, I haven't finished yet. You also smashed the household items here! Did you see the broken bowl at your feet? I have a lot of research on porcelain. The one you broke was from the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Jun porcelain. As the saying goes, a piece of Jun porcelain is not as good as a huge family fortune.

But this bowl is worth at least 6,000 taels of silver. Oh, I think that bowl is from Ge Kiln. Oh, the blue one is from Ru Kiln. Oops...! You are out of luck, this stool is from Huanghuali. Oops.

Hey! There is actually a rosewood spoon, rare! Rare! Excellent! Excellent!"

Li Xiao looked at the fragments on the ground and muttered like a treasure appraiser. The more McCarthy talked about it, the paler his face became. He had stayed in the capital for fifteen years. He naturally understood what Li Xiao was talking about. He was a wonton seller in the countryside.

Using porcelain from the Northern Song Dynasty as a bowl for guests? Even if I beat him to death, he wouldn’t believe it!

As for saying that this spoon is made of red sandalwood, he is even more angry that his head is smoking. This is just a broken wooden spoon, and he says it is made of red sandalwood. Your red sandalwood spoon breaks into several pieces with just one step?

"This pot! Oops, this pot is even more valuable. According to my research, it is probably a relic of the pre-Qin Dynasty. You guys smashed it so cruelly. These wontons...! These wontons are from this morning, my officer.

If you are generous, I won't let you compensate.

Ai Husheng! Ai Husheng! Give this Mr. McCarthy some compensation, he needs to compensate...! What's your name?" Li Xiao then remembered that he didn't know the name of the wonton stall owner.

"Zhang Laoshi!"

"Oh! Mr. McCarthy, according to my prudent judgment, you need to pay Zhang Laoshi and his family 78,000 taels of silver. Excluding your land tax, it is 10,000 taels. You only need to give a lucky number, and it will be 68,000 taels."

"You...!" Only now did McCarthy realize that he was being cooked like a piece of mutton by Li Xiao.

"Sixty-eight thousand, why don't you go and grab it!" This time it was McCarthy's turn to say this.

"Oh! Things are changing, Mr. McCarthy. You speak Chinese very well. I guess you are also very familiar with the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Come on! Take Mr. McCarthy and his friends back to see Qian and release them. We are the Ming Dynasty.

When will it be the turn of you ghost-like guys to bully our people?"

Li Xiao said with a smile, Jiang Chaozong had already led his men to show off short-barreled firecrackers. There was a commotion outside the crowd, and Li Hu rushed in with a roar without even buttoning his clothes.

Seeing the soldiers coming, the onlookers immediately dispersed like an ant nest poured with boiling water. The soldiers' guns were aimed at McCarthy and his accomplices, and Li Hu rushed over without saying a word and punched them.

The tall McCarthy suddenly bowed down, and someone next to him put a blunderbuss on his head.

"Tied! If you dare to play tricks with my big brother, I will make you so damn comfortable!" Li Hu slapped McCarthy across the mouth viciously, and blood dripped down the corner of his mouth.
