Water Margin people

Chapter 1408 Quanzhou Fanren Lane

Quanzhou.

Li Ying was dressed as a wealthy man at this time, Du Xing, the ghost-faced man behind him, was dressed as an attendant, and Wang Yin was dressed as a guard, with several servants behind him.

"Master, the Barbarian Street is just ahead!"

Du Xing reminded Li Ying in a low voice that as they walked back, they saw more and more foreigners wearing white robes, with curly hair and big beards on the street, and many of them looked at them unkindly.

Du Xing was a little nervous. He had been to the battlefield before, but he had never faced so many strange-looking aliens.

"Don't worry, we have seen so many big battles. Don't lose face for our Qi State!"

Li Ying spoke as he stroked the exquisite blanket hanging at the door of the shop.

"Just some barbarians, no need to worry!"

Wang Yin said with a smile and waved the whistle in his hand slightly.

Wang Yin was originally from Jiangnan and was familiar with Quanzhou. In order to ensure the success of this exploration, Li Ying specially asked Wang Yin for help. Wang Yin naturally did not refuse and went with pleasure.

"This blanket is a bit too stiff, but the weaving technology is pretty good! But the pattern is too ugly. It would be better if it had some peonies, orchids, asparagus ferns, koi, mandarin ducks playing in the water, dragons and phoenixes!"

Li Ying was appreciating the blanket in front of him. He was somewhat knowledgeable about textiles. Apart from the excellent material, everything else about this blanket was very average, especially the strange pattern which was totally inconsistent with the aesthetic of the Central Plains.

"What do you know? This is the holy emblem of our Arabs!"

A Arab with curly beard, grey eyes and wearing a white robe looked at Li Ying angrily. His shop specialized in blankets, and he could not tolerate someone saying that Arab blankets were not good in front of his shop.

"If it doesn't look good, it doesn't look good! How can you like it if it's Qi? As a businessman, don't you consider what your customers like?"

Li Ying looked as if he was going to discuss it.

"roll!"

The bearded Arab was furious and waved his fist as if he was going to hit Li Ying.

"You hit the guests? This is not the right way to do business!"

Li Ying spoke without any fear.

"You dare to come to Fanren Lane to cause trouble? I don't think you want to leave!"

Several Arab servants holding sticks appeared behind the bearded Arab, and they were all staring at Li Ying.

"This is Qi State. Think about the consequences before you act!"

Li Ying said as he looked at the Arabs in front of him.

"Humph, this is the Fanren Lane, we have the final say!"

Several Arabs from the nearby families also gathered around.

"Want to take action?"

Wang Yin took a step forward, and his tall figure instantly scared away several skinny Arabs.

Although Wang Yin has the air of a scholar, he is tall and looks very oppressive when standing in front of people.

"beat!"

At the beginning, the Arab who ran the blanket shop directly scolded his employees.

"beat!"

Several guys immediately stepped forward and waved sticks.

"court death!"

Wang Yin swung the whistle stick in his hand and hit the faces of several Arabs in front of him. They retreated wailing with blood coming out of their mouths and noses, leaving a lot of blood and teeth on the ground.

Li Ying put one hand on his waist, where there was a flying knife, while Du Xing was ready to take action with a group of servants. These servants were all from Lijiazhuang and had experienced many wars after Li Ying went to Liangshan.

The few men displayed their prowess when facing dozens of Arabs, and beat them so hard that they fled in panic. The entire Fanren Lane was in chaos, and more and more Arabs came over here.

"What are you doing!"

Just then, a loud shout came from the Arabs, and the Arabs stopped immediately. Li Ying had no intention of letting go of his hand on his waist, but just watched everything coldly.

"Sir, they came to our Fanren Lane to cause trouble, and they are still here!"

A group of Arabs gathered around a bearded Arab with brown curly hair and were talking.

"Why did you come to my Fanren Lane to cause trouble?"

The Arab looked at Li Ying and scolded him.

"Who are you?"

Li Ying looked at the Arab who was leading the group and asked.

"I am Pu Kaizong, the official of the Quanzhou Port Maritime Customs Office!"

Pu Kaizong directly announced his name, and all the Arabs were very proud. Not only were they able to show off their power, they also had someone to back them up.

"When did the Maritime Customs have foreigners working in the office?"

  Li Ying looked at Pu Kaizong. This man had a long face, deep eyes, a high nose, curly brown hair and beard, grey pupils, and was wearing a strange robe. He looked like a barbarian from head to toe. When would such a man become an official in the Central Plains?

"Look clearly!"

Seeing that Li Ying didn't believe him, Pu Kaizong took out a token and showed it off proudly.

Li Ying frowned, the token was indeed the token of Quanzhou Maritime Customs.

"You are suspected of beating them and robbing their property. Follow me to the Maritime Customs Office!"

Pu Kaizong pointed at Li Ying and the others and scolded them.

"Then go to the government office and take a look!"

Li Ying was not panicked at all. He wanted to see what was going on in Quanzhou.

"Master, do you really want to go with them?"

Du Xing said with some concern.

"What are you afraid of? Is this Quanzhou Maritime Customs a den of dragons and tigers? We are here to gather information, so we have to go there to find out the situation!"

Li Ying said that if this happened on a battlefield he would definitely be worried about his safety, but now that they were in the city, he believed these people would not dare to do anything.

A group of Arabs were about to come up and arrest Li Ying and others, but Wang Yin swept his stick and hit seven or eight more people. The Arabs were so afraid that they dared not step forward.

"You still dare to resist!"

Pu Kaizong was furious and clapped his hands. Several tall and strong dark Kunlun slaves came out. These people were dressed in black and had rings on their noses.

"Get 'em!"

Pu Kaizong gave the order directly, and the Kunlun slaves immediately stepped forward with their fangs bared.

Wang Yin just glanced at them and did not take these Kunlun slaves seriously at all. These people's steps were unsteady and it was obvious at a glance that they only had brute force but did not know any martial arts. Such people posed no threat at all.

Wang Yin swept his stick across their lower body, and the Kunlun slaves fell to the ground. Because of their height and weight, they fell particularly hard. However, these Kunlun slaves stood up immediately and continued to rush towards Wang Yin with roars.

"It's quite durable!"

Wang Yin narrowed his eyes. An ordinary person would not be able to get up for a while after what he did just now.

Wang Yin swung the stick again, and the Kunlun slaves realized how powerful he was, so they went to the surrounding shops to get sticks.

Wang Yin didn't give them this opportunity. He went up and hit one of them with his stick, and in a few strokes, he knocked all the Kunlun slaves to the ground.

"How dare you resist arrest!"

Pu Kaizong pointed at Li Ying and the others and shouted. He didn't expect that even though he had revealed his identity as the Maritime Customs Officer, the man in front of him would still dare to resist arrest with force.

"If we want to go to the Maritime Customs, then we're not used to being held hostage by others!"

Li Ying looked at Pu Kaizong and said.

Pu Kaizong was gritting his teeth. This was Fanren Lane, and these people actually didn't give him face in Fanren Lane. If he couldn't take these people down, how could he have prestige among these foreigners in the future?
