Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Chapter 27 The Arrogant Priest

Father William copied broken Chinese and said arrogantly: "Master Prefect, I don't care what the actual situation is. According to the treaty signed between your country and the British Empire, we have extraterritorial rights.

Even if Qian San committed a crime, he should be punished by our church.

This gentleman ignored the agreement signed by the British Empire and your country and harmed Qian San at will. This is really a heinous crime. Please ask the prefect to hand him over to me. "

He had been conspiring with the Chen family to deal with the Yin family, but now that Yin Qi was in his hands, how could he let it go.

As long as you control Yin Qi, you can drain the Yin family dry at will.

Missionaries were not only the vanguard of cultural aggression by the great powers, but also the vanguard of seizing China's wealth.

At the same time, they also undertake related intelligence work.

Yin Qi smiled lightly and said: "Father William, you are British, so you have extraterritorial rights, but Qian San? Qian San is just a parishioner of your church and has not yet become a British citizen, so according to the law, he cannot enjoy extraterritorial rights. "

Father William was stunned and looked at Yin Qi in surprise.

To be honest, as long as he talked about "extraterritoriality" in the past, even the government would obey unconditionally. They seemed to have never carefully studied the contents of the treaty.

I didn't expect this young man to know so clearly.

The prefect was stunned.

The people were also stunned.

It turns out that the only people with extraterritorial rights are the British, not the bastards!
Yin Chengtao was also shocked.

He had never even thought about this kind of thing, how did this kid know?
Father William said quickly: "Who said Qian San is not a citizen of our British Empire? In fact, he has already joined our British Empire, so he enjoys the protection of our British Empire."

Yin Qi said calmly: "Really, where is the passport?"

"what!"

Father William was shocked again.

This person actually knows about passports!
Yin Qi said calmly: "Father William, since you said that Qian San has joined our British Empire, then please show your passport. If you have a passport, I, Yin Qi, am willing to accept the punishment."

Father William panicked and quickly argued: "Of course he has a passport, but he has not been in the British Empire for a long time and the passport has not been issued yet. But it is undeniable that he is a citizen of the British Empire."

Yin Qi sneered: "Really? Since he has joined your British Empire, he must have an application record. If you can provide relevant proof, I am also willing to plead guilty."

Father William was forced to look gloomy, and he no longer had the kindness he had before.

His eyes were cold and he said very arrogantly and rudely: "If I say yes, then there must be. Do I, the British Empire, need to prove to you natives that I can't do anything?"

Yin Qi said calmly: "Father William, please note that this is the Qing Dynasty, not the UK. Why, you just want to override the laws of the Qing Dynasty? If so, can any British person give orders? My officials act arbitrarily? If so, how are you different from me, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty!?"

"shut up!"

"Bastard!"

Yin Chengtao and the prefect suddenly changed their expressions and scolded them quickly.

Yin Qi also pretended to be frightened, and quickly bowed to the magistrate and said: "Sir, it's a common man who has been rude. He just spoke out of anger out of anger, please punish him."

If it were a few decades ago, based on Yin Qi's words, it would not be an exaggeration to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan.

But now the Qing Dynasty did not have many years to live, and under the gunfire of the foreign powers, the emperor's dignity had long been wiped out, and even local officials did not respect it.

But this is all in private, and you still have to show off publicly.

The prefect looked deeply at Yin Qi. He knew that the other person's last words were meant for him, warning him not to obey Father William unconditionally.

The Yin family still has some connections.

If he was mindlessly favoring Father William, he would not be in a good position once the Yin family spread the news to the top.

Thinking of this, he clapped his hands in amazement and pronounced: "Father William, your request is illegal and reasonable, and your request is rejected. However, Yin Qi hurt someone first, and the evidence of this matter is conclusive, so he will be fined three thousand yuan for medical expenses and 100 yuan." Yuan Dayang, and at the same time compensate the church for five hundred yuan, what do you think?"

Although it was a verdict, he actually asked Father William for his opinion.

600 yuan is not a small sum.

Father William was helpless, knowing that there was no point in continuing to entangle, and he might reveal his intentions, so he nodded and said: "I accept." "Okay!"

The prefect nodded and said: "Yin Qi, you will hand over the fine to the government office this afternoon. Okay, back out!"

"No, I don't accept it, I don't accept it!"

Qian San, who was lying on the stretcher, suddenly struggled violently and roared angrily.

He couldn't understand that he was a noble parishioner.

Why didn't the prefect sentence Yin Qi to death or confiscate the Yin family and exterminate them?

However, no one cared about his attitude.

Father William didn't even look at him. He turned around and said to the people watching: "Everyone, you have also seen that as long as you join my church and become God's people, the British Empire will protect you. No one can bully you. You don’t have to pay taxes, even if someone hurts you, I will seek justice for you.”

"Arrogant, too arrogant!"

Father William's behavior made the governor tremble with anger and his face was ashen.

But he didn't dare to stop it.

Yin Qi's eyes were cold, he had seen the arrogance of the foreign devils.

Yin Chengtao and others were equally angry.

This foreign devil is simply trampling on the dignity of the imperial court, but the prefect does not even dare to let out a fart. I wonder if the imperial court will not be destroyed. What's the point?

Father William's words were very confusing, but most people didn't buy it.

"Hmph, I don't care about the religious people. No matter how poor I am, even if I starve to death, I can't lose my ancestors!"

"Let's go and be a member of the church. Why don't we join the ancestral hall in the future?"

"I don't want to be scolded by the villagers!"

……

The people watching turned around and left, cursing and chattering.

But there were still a dozen people who stayed. With flattering smiles on their faces, they ran up to Father William and kept bowing their hands. Some even knelt down and kowtowed: "Father, we are willing to join the church."

For ruffians like them, who have long forgotten what dignity is, what's wrong with joining a church?
"Good good!"

Father William smiled kindly: "Children, God will bless you, just follow me."

He was so excited that a dozen more people became God’s people.

Father William left and walked out of the courtroom surrounded by a dozen gangsters.

As for Qian San, he is already a useless person and has no use value. Father William will naturally not care.

Qian San panicked. He struggled to get up, looked at Father William's back and shouted sternly: "Father, Father, take me away, take me away. Dad, Dad, don't leave me!"

Those shouts made those who heard them cry.

Yin Qi looked at Qian San with cold eyes.

Abandoned by the foreign devils, Qian San's future fate has been doomed.

Those who have been bullied by Qian San will never give up this opportunity to beat the drowned dog.

Yin Chengtao turned to Yin Xuan and said, "Xuan'er, take Qi'er back and ban him for three days."

Yin Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, Dad."

Naturally, Yin Qi did not dare to have any objections and could only follow Yin Xuan and leave.

Yin Chengtao turned around and walked towards the prefect, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, I have something I want to discuss with you."

The prefect nodded and said, "Okay, come with me."
