Chapter 97 Xiao Qiao (1)(1/2)
In October in Shenhai City, the weather is still very pleasant, unlike in the north where there are places that require thick clothes.
There are people coming and going on the pier in Shenhai City on weekdays, but today there are many more soldiers.
Director Xue from the Law Enforcement Bureau also came to the dock, while Chen Yu stood in the crowd and looked left and right.
Today, from the overseas Wei Kingdom, there will be a delegation of about twenty or thirty people. Their purpose is to visit Shenhai City and the surrounding areas, have a tour around, order a batch of things, and then return to China to write a report.
Jiangbei Province attaches great importance to this matter. There have been constant smuggling with overseas over the years, but how can the strongest smuggling be compared to opening up business between the two parties?
Compared with the coastal areas of the Han Empire that have been well developed, overseas countries are relatively in a barbaric era, but they cannot withstand the cheap manpower and can use ordinary people as consumables. Therefore, some of the special products produced on the Han Empire are very good, especially the consumption capacity of the upper class is very strong, and they also need industrial products from the Han Empire, which can be purchased with real money and silver.
After so many years, the Han Empire was finally pried open, and the former enemies eventually lost to the temptation of money and finally hooked up.
However, there was a huge voice in the opposition within the Han Empire. The war fifty years ago was not far away, and many people were still alive. Their strong opposition eased relations overseas. What if this was a smoke bomb before the war?
The situation was very chaotic during this period. Director Xue privately talked to Shen Yu about the last assassination of Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang was determined to the opposition and did not investigate his assassination. It felt like a bitter trick or something. It was a self-written and directed farce, but it did not have any good results anyway.
What the above can do now is to prepare for both hands. The first is to prepare for the war, and the second is to have a good talk between the two sides.
This time the delegation came, and the Law Enforcement Bureau was responsible for protecting it. Although Chen Yu worked in the Law Enforcement Bureau, it did not mean that Director Xue did not pay attention to him. Some major events would allow Chen Yu to participate, and Chen Yu had no reason to refuse.
The people from the mission got off the ship and soon appeared in front of Director Xue and others. Chen Yu looked at these people carefully. Compared with those peaceful civil servants in Shen Haicheng, most of these people were filled with sharp breath.
It's like it's covered with thorns.
Just think about it, ordinary civil servants may never shoot in their entire lives, while people in that world have to consider how to improve their strength all day long. No matter whether they are men or women, they dare not relax at all.
"Mr. Xue, we came to visit us in the form of a civil group. Just call me Xiao Qian."
To everyone's surprise, all of these twenty people had good attitudes. Although they spoke a little stiffly and acted directly, they did not have a arrogant attitude.
Chen Yu looked at the group of people. There were twenty-three people in total, most of them were men and a few women were very graceful.
The welcome process went smoothly. Chen Yu watched quietly from the side without saying a word.
Director Xue and those people got on the bus, while Chen Yu went to the parking lot to drive his own car. His purpose today was to observe these people. Needless to say, he was not interested in the banquet at the hotel.
After Mr. Wang was assassinated, the two policemen sent by the police station to protect Chen Yu retreated, and the car from the law enforcement bureau was returned, and Chen Yu officially became a car owner.
After getting in the car and putting in the car keys, Chen Yu was about to drive when a sound rang behind Shen Yu.
"Uncle, I'm not a bad guy."
Chen Yu didn't speak, Chen Yu kept calm because a sharp sword hit Chen Yu's neck.
"Uncle, I don't want to threaten you. I want to take back the sword, but uncle, don't shout loudly, and don't give unnecessary signals to people outside, okay?"
The long sword on Chen Yu's neck slowly retracted. The sword holder was a little thin little girl. She was only twelve or thirteen years old. Her clothes were a bit similar to those from overseas just now, but they were much simpler.
Chen Yu didn't speak. The girl was very smart and knew how to do things. She took out a long sword and first showed her means, making people understand that she had a weapon to kill, which would avoid many problems.
"Uncle, I don't want to threaten you, but you just noticed that you were in the car, so I could only draw my sword. My master said that the people in the Han Empire are very reasonable and respect women. I am still a child, and I am only thirteen years old this year. Uncle, would you please give me a chance?"
Through the reflector, Chen Yu saw a girl with dimples slightly on her lips, bright eyes and white teeth, a pretty melon-shaped face, a small cherry mouth, and a fine and upright cherry mouth, and her thin teeth bit together like broken jade. She was timid and nervous.
Thirteen years old? Looking at her thin body, Chen Yu is probably only about ten years old.
"I shouldn't have eaten that sweet candy..."
The girl said regretfully that she had been smuggled from the sea and had been hungry for several days. She had just gotten into the Shenyu car and couldn't help but eat a piece of the wine-heart chocolate in the back seat. As a result, the carriage was filled with the smell of wine-heart chocolate.
"How did you find out that I noticed your existence?"
"Your muscles tense for a moment, then suddenly forced to relax, and at the same time lifted up your true energy, so I stopped you first. I gave the money, and I put the money in your box."
The girl replied honestly, Chen Yu nodded, opened the storage box at hand, and there were a lot of things inside, and half a silver dollar was added.
"I only have such a little money left. Uncle, I don't want to steal your stuff, I'm just hungry."
The girl continued to explain, and Chen Yu nodded.
Although I don’t know how the girl opened the car door, it’s not easy to open the door with internal force. Chen Yu felt very good about the girl. If he were himself, he might just give it to the back of the head of the car owner.
"Where do you want to go, I'll send you there."
"Uncle, I don't know the way. I heard that after smuggling over, your government here provides free food and accommodation. Can you take me there?"
The little girl asked in a low voice.
“Those places…”
Chen Yu thought for a while and said to the girl behind him.
"Now the policy has changed, and overseas immigration is no longer accepted."
Chen Yu replied softly that the Han Empire's overseas immigration policy has changed since fifteen years ago.
"migrant?"
"Well, you don't know some things very well, but as long as you know the general meaning, you can't go to the welfare home, and it's very troublesome to go there. By the way, I have a few questions I want to ask you. You can't answer, but you can't lie to me, okay?"
"Uncle, you said."
The girl replied well.
"You have also seen it. I have cars and money, so in this city, I still have some ability. I want to help you, but I want to know your real name. Can you tell me?"
"My name is Qiao Lan, uncle, I swear I didn't lie to you."
The girl replied with her hands pressed on her heart.
Chen Yu nodded and silently recited the girl's name in his heart. Shadow Killing did not respond. This should be the real name. Judging from the voice of her words just now, she would not tell lies on it. A refugee who smuggled from outside was desperately needed someone to help her, especially as she was only thirteen years old.
"Gululu..."
Suddenly, a gurgling sound came from the girl's stomach, and she was hungry.
"Let's go, uncle will take you to have fast food."
Chen Yu thought about it and started the car.
I really have to thank her for not killing her. Chen Yu couldn't react at all when the girl drew her sword just now.
...
"What do you want to eat?"
The car was driving slowly on the road, and Chen Yu introduced the food from the snack bars around him to the girl.
Wide cucumber casserole, beef noodle, rolled noodles, small buns - no, this one doesn't work, the small buns in this restaurant are sweet and must not be eaten.
"Uncle, I want to eat pork rib noodles, is that OK?"
The girl lay in front of the car window, staring at the signboard that was swaying outside, and finally chose a house. However, according to Chen Yu's observation, she wanted to eat meat, and the pork rib noodles in this house were said to be a big bowl.
"Okay, I just joked that I would invite girls to dinner. Those places are not of sufficient quality. Let's go, uncle invites you to have something delicious."
Chen Yu didn't blame the girl for calling him uncle. Today, when welcoming the Qin envoy, Chen Yu wore a fake beard, which is actually a good name.
Not far from the port, there is a good restaurant.
"Follow me, don't talk nonsense, be careful to get lost. By the way, put your sword in the car. No one stole it. The thieves here know my license plate number."
Chen Yu got out of the car and nodded to the girl. At this time, he could see the girl's confusion.
It’s like a student going to work in another place, and then meets a kind aunt at the train station...
Alas, I have to admit that the beautiful girl still has the advantage, and Chen Yu doesn't mind doing her a favor.
"Old Sun, your supreme sauerkraut pork elbow, okay."
As soon as I walked into the restaurant, the shopkeeper held a big white porcelain plate to the table No. 3. The supreme version of sauerkraut pork elbows ordered by the customer came up. The big red and fragrant pork elbows, fried sausages and eggs were poured with yellow potatoes with gravy, and the tempting green sauerkraut...
The fat man picked up the chopsticks with satisfaction, picked up a large sausage and ate it. At the same time, he picked up the beer and started drinking it every time. Chen Yu saw the girl beside him swallowing involuntarily and heard the sound of his stomach gushing.
"Can you finish this dish?"
Chen Yu asked like this.
"Yes, but the price..."
The girl replied in a low voice, hesitating.
"It's okay, I'll treat you today. Boss, give me a portion of Supreme Pickled Vegetable Pork Elixir, plus a portion of spinach noodles. Don't be polite. This is a reward for you. Your martial arts are so high, but I never thought of more violent means in the car. You are a good girl."
The difference between a girl and a boy is here. If the boy broke into Shen Yu's car, he would probably be handcuffed in the detention center now...
"Thank you uncle..."
The girl lowered her head, looking anxious.
In their world, if someone suddenly treats you like this, then you must have no idea, or...
"Don't worry, I'm a good person, a formal civil servant, I'm a monthly salary, I can come to eat every day, and it's nothing to invite you to a meal. Of course, if you want, can you tell me your story?"
Chen Yu was very interested in the girl, and that sword surprised him.
She is young and has such good martial arts skills. In that continent, she should be the true seed of a certain sect or other elites.
"I……"
The girl nodded, looked at Chen Yu, gritted her teeth, and took out a worn pen and a note from her bag.
The girl's origin is very ordinary, she is a servant in a villa. The girl's father died early, so the girl stumbled and lived in the villa.
