Chapter 73 Hair or head?

"Listen to what you mean, the officials of the imperial court are now targeting those Xiyi people on the opposite side?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with great interest.

"No!"

"The imperial court is afraid of being beaten by foreign devils, and now they treat them as grandfathers!" Someone in the crowd answered Zhu Yuanzhang's question loudly.

"The court wants to be a grandson, but we don't want to!"

"If you want to encircle our local concession, there is no door." Someone in the crowd kept shouting to mobilize the atmosphere, which soon aroused the common hatred of most people.

Zhu Yuanzhang smelled a familiar taste from these words.

He is very familiar with this tune!
Isn't this a common way to incite the common people when they rebel?
It seems that so many people gathered here in such a short period of time, it is not spontaneous, it is secretly organized by someone.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked back at the dark crowd behind him.

Of course, he wasn't so good at picking out the organizer at a glance.

He is just looking at these ordinary people who can no longer be ordinary.

These people didn't have many dishes on their faces. Although there was anger in their eyes, they were not desperate.

These people are not starved.

Therefore, if the Xiyi people on the opposite side also have scruples, then today's confrontation will not be a big one, and the final result is nothing more than a step back from each side.

Of course, there may be a few hapless dancers caught out as scapegoats.

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly came to a conclusion.

With such speculation, he stopped talking and chose to wait and see what happened.

After all, he just came to this world and doesn't know everything yet, so it's better not to act rashly at this time.

"quiet!"

"Get out of the way for me!" Soon, in less than a quarter of an hour, a man in his 50s wearing a navy blue official uniform came walking fast.

Nearly 500 soldiers filed out from behind him and quickly aimed their spears at the people.

Then the official walked over to the opposite British army with a serious face.

"Angel, what's the matter with you, why did you land in Humen again, do you really think I'm a mess?"

"Dear Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, we did not mean to offend the Qing government. All our actions are legal. Your Qing government promised us that we can rent land and build houses in Guangzhou and live permanently. We are just exercising ourselves. rights."

"Fuck your motherfucker!"

"Are you renting land? That's a robbery!"

"I still live permanently. The whole of Guangzhou is the land left to us by our ancestors. We don't sell it, and we don't welcome you foreign devils!" The people on the opposite side began to shout when they heard this.

"Silence!" Qiying frowned, turned around suddenly and shouted loudly.

Under his gaze, all those who were making noise couldn't help lowering their heads.

They are still afraid of officials, especially those who are feudal officials like the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

After taming these mischievous people, Qiying turned back to look at the British commander: "Angel, haven't we discussed this matter? Let me take it easy, now the public opinion is raging, you can see it , if you forcibly rent land, you may cause riots."

"If it causes a catastrophe at that time, it will be bad!"

"Give me two months, and I will definitely help you do this, how about that?" Qiying whispered.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in the eyes of Commander Anglo when he heard the words.

But in the end, he still said: "This matter can be discussed later, but today we have two heroic and noble soldiers injured by your people. We demand that the murderer be handed over and punished severely!"

"It's natural, it's what I should do to safeguard the rights and interests of the British Empire!"

Qiying's face straightened, she turned her head to look at the black people in front of her, and said solemnly: "I heard it, people have already agreed to make concessions about the lease, but you have to hand over the first to cause trouble. Who else injured the British and stood up, if I let this official find him, it will be a crime."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he saw this scene.

He just saw that this Manchu official went to hook up with the Xiyi people and whispered to him, and he felt that something was wrong. Now that he saw the result, he suddenly couldn't hold back his anger.

"These dog things!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed endless killing intent.

Suddenly, at this moment, a little dwarf suddenly jumped out of the crowd, ran to Qiying's side, whispered a few words, and pointed to where Zhu Yuanzhang was standing.

"Ok?"

Qiying raised her head suddenly and locked Zhu Yuanzhang at a glance.

"Wow, I didn't expect that some of you scoundrels would dare not leave braids, but instead leave people's hair in buns, and let me arrest these two people."

Qiying pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang and shouted loudly.

Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed even deeper. He did not expect that this Manchu official would directly target himself, and it was because of his hair on the temples.

Of course, he found out that the people here had big braids before, and he also found that many people looked at his hair on the temples with strange expressions, but he didn't care, and he didn't know that it was a crime.

"But it's fine!"

"We're feeling so suffocated right now!"

Zhu Yuanzhang strode out from the crowd.

"We don't need you to arrest us, but you told us that we committed that crime?" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.

"Ha ha!"

"What a fearless ignorant!"

"You don't know the law of keeping your head or not, and whether you keep your hair or not?"

A trace of pity flashed in Qiying's eyes, but more than that, she was relieved.

To catch such two rebellious and foolish people can be considered to be able to deal with the British.

"We really don't know!"

A smile appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face: "What if we say that we want to keep both hair and head?"

"Hmph, then you're going to die!"

"Give me the knives from their hands and hand them over to the British!" Qiying shouted loudly.

"Clang!"

A flash of cold light flashed, and Zhu Yuanzhang took the lead and cut off Qiying's head with one knife.

"Unfortunately, we don't want to die, so we can only ask you to die!"

Zhu Yuanzhang put away the knife, looked at the British and the Manchu soldiers who had not reacted so close, and said in a deep voice: "Do it, if you don't leave one, send them to see Dorgon."

"Abiding by the order!" Mao Xiang stepped forward with a single step, the sword was as sharp as a sword, and plunged into the crowd, blood spattered, screams came and went, and more than 20 people were beheaded in an instant.

A master Hua Jin who broke into the ordinary crowd and suddenly attacked, the power that he can burst out is almost the level of a nuclear bomb.

Moreover, Mao Xiang was not the only one who was shooting. In the shadows around, there were more than a dozen Jin Yiwei's internal Hua Jin masters and hundreds of martial arts masters rushing towards the positions of the Manchu soldiers and the British devils at the same time.

At the same time, under the two British warships moored in the water in the distance, Mu Ying and a team of elites quietly exposed their heads in the water.
