Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The young soldiers did not know who Fan Ru was, they immediately saw an old man who was dragging his yellow whip, with age spots all over his face, complaining about their Prime Minister Xiao outside the West Water Gate.

However, the old veterans who followed Xiao Letian at the start, had basically become lower ranked officers. These old veterans all knew the famous Fan Ru.

Hu Niu's uncle, Fan Lian's brother, was an old man who only knew how to read books stubbornly.

Initially, he wanted to send his niece out as a gift just for the sake of the title of Royal Merchant. Later on, when Tanggu became rich, he shamelessly wanted to get into the limelight.

This old man's shameless words had already been known to all the veterans of the past, and all the veterans who had followed Xiao Letian to the Tanggu at the earliest could recognize this fellow.

Everyone hated him, but they couldn't do anything about him. Even if Fan Ru wasn't a thing, he was still a relative of the Second Madam.

Although the percentage was very small, it was still the most primitive stock. Every year, they would eat more dividends, and now, not to mention the fact that the principal had already returned, even the dividends were already several times more than before.

Half of the Shanxi Gang's goods were currently contracted by Fan Ru, so those Old Western people who wanted to board the Ryukyu, this huge merchant ship, all gathered in front of Fan Ru to flatter him. Although they wanted to kiss up to Fan Lian more, it was a pity that he had not returned to his hometown for several years, and the old shopkeeper was now a mega-merchant on equal footing with the foreigners.

In short, Fan Ru was shaking again, and he was even more excited than he was back then.

The green jade was as big as a pigeon's egg. The bats' longevity patterns on the thin and long gown were not made directly from the brocade. Instead, they were personally embroidered by a famous embroidery master of the country. It took him more than half a year to finish them all by hand.

There were seven different kinds of heads hanging on his waist. There were fan sets, watch sets, thumb ring sets, eyeglasses boxes, betel nut bags, knapsack, key bags, and so on. Each of these items was tied to his belt with a 'Bitch'. Looking at the other person's ingredients, they turned out to be warm white jade. With this old man's burning strength, he wouldn't use anything other than Han Yu.

If one were to go to Beijing and let the big merchants, especially the pawnshops, take a look at them, they would all be stunned. How was this a living person? He definitely wouldn't be able to buy it without 10,000 silver coins.

Although the Old platoon leader protecting the West Water Gate hated the old man, she still had to take the initiative to greet the Prime Minister and Fan Lian. He walked over to Fan Ru and gave him a military salute. Her body seems to be doing quite well! "

Fan Ru pinched the little Queue length's skin and said, "Mmm … You look pretty familiar, are you? Your name is... Forget it, I can't remember. I brought 55 people with me this time. Check them out and quickly let me clear the level … Do you still want me to line up in this hot weather? "

Old platoon leader secretly sighed in his heart, why was it such bad luck to have met him, but he still had to give him face. He turned around and shouted at the soldier on duty, "Have this old man add a plug …" No matter what, we have to respect the elders! "

The Old platoon leader turned his head and smiled at Fan Ru, "Old sir, I was just saying that you are very rich, but of course it's safe to go inside the West Water Gate, but in the Great Qing Province, there are so many thieves and thieves, your clothes …"

CHI * Fan Ru sneered: "Who dares to touch me? With my Young Master holding the fort, I want to see who dares to touch me! "A small door for grandpa to see …"

"Ah …" We will follow your fate, Master! " The group of guards behind them immediately took down the latest type of Mauser's rifle from their backs, the grilled blue light shined coldly, and all twenty plus guards had two loaded revolver on their waists, one long and two short, this configuration was even fiercer than that of Marine Corps soldiers.

Old platoon leader immediately laughed. "Alright, you really are rich, I've already said so in vain. You can send the butler to register now, I'll send you through first …"

Just as he was speaking, suddenly, a loud cry came from the east. There were a total of three passes in West Water Gate, the north and south banks of the river had dry road posts on them, and the river even had sailors inspecting the boats. And Fan Ru was at the location of the dry road checkpoint on the Southern Bank embankment.

Everyone focused their eyes and saw a few soldiers escorting a dozen civilians from the east. The commoners who were dressed in tattered clothing were clearly from three to four families. They cried and scolded along the way.

"Mister Soldier, I beg of you, please don't chase us away. We are really homeless now. Our hometown has been sold, and returning home will also cause us to starve to death …"

"Senior Officer …" "Please be merciful and let my son go to work at the iron factory. He is clever and dexterous. Even the foreigner of the iron factory praises him …"

"Mom …" I won't go back... "This place is better than my old home, and the streets are even cleaner than the owner's house at the east end of the village …"

All along the way, there was a lot of crying and all the people who heard it were moved. Fan Ru was also stunned "What's going on? They broke the law? "

Old platoon leader laughed bitterly, "It's been a long time since you've been here, during this time, Tanggu had a lot of things happen, and it's so messy that it doesn't look like it …" Old platoon leader took the document from the soldier's hand and sighed.

"A petty thief was caught three times in a row and ordered to be expelled... "This family is made up of beggars. They were saved three times by the Special Administrative Region, but they just didn't want to do it. They even ordered their expulsion …"

"This family is pretty good, my son has been chosen by someone from the Iron Works, and he wants to be a technical soldier. However, he is not willing to become a citizen of the Ryukyu, and even more so, is unwilling to cut his braid … "In the end, all the money was spent. He went to the iron factory every day to curse, and he even cursed the prime minister. In the end, he ordered his expulsion …"

"This family is even more interesting now. The man was an accountant before, yet he passed the examination to be hired as a shopkeeper in Letian Firm. After that, he agreed to enter the Ryukyu and even agreed to cut his braid. "But he wouldn't let his wife and daughter off the hook no matter what, so he had to wrap his legs around her. In the end, he even insulted the court and was sentenced to expulsion …"

Fan Ru stared blankly at him, "This, this... What kind of stupid thing is this? How could such a thing be expelled? What was Xiao Letian doing? "Nonsense …"

When the exiled commoners saw that the grandmaster dressed in luxurious clothes had spoken his fair words, they immediately surrounded him and kneeled on the ground, treating him as a lifesaver.

"Old mister, I beg of you, please give us some judgement. What did we do wrong …" Everyone knows that the Ryukyu is fair, but today, I see that this Prime Minister Xiao is really bullying others! "
