At almost the same time, seven people, each carrying a watch, ran to Wei Zhongxian's house at high speed.
It is now approaching evening in the capital, and there are gradually more and more pedestrians on the streets, especially in the downtown area. The sound of people is vibrating, and people are bumping into each other. People are bumping into each other, people are crowded, and people are looking at each other. It is very noisy and lively.
These seven people are all familiar with the terrain, weaving in and out of the crowd, advancing and retreating, as solid and flexible as moray eels.
There was a large group of people chasing behind him, and the wealthy shop owner called all the neighbors and servants, shouting to catch the thief while chasing him. However, with this shout, passers-by stopped to watch, and the originally moving crowd stopped instead, blocking them all in place.
The group of missionaries were even more embarrassed. They were dressed in weird clothes and because of their urgency, they shouted in Sicilian, Naples, Florence, Milan, Genoa, Barcelona, Breton...
In short, they may not understand each other, and now they are all in white clothes and red necks, jumping up and down in the crowd, causing laughter.
There are several other rich families who are out of breath chasing after them. I thought about it, is it worth it for a watch?
A wealthy man slapped his head and said: "Hurry up and report to the official! I know the censor of the city and the people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Department."
This group of businessmen and wealthy people hurriedly went to find five nearby city soldiers and horse soldiers. Just when they saw someone asking for their help, they saw two guards in golden clothes suddenly rushing out and said in a very serious manner:
"This is a big matter, involving the royal family and foreign countries, and we, the Jin Yiwei, have taken over it!"
The Jin Yiwei is great! With the Jin Yiwei taking action, those guys will be captured easily.
Then the two Jin Yiwei took them and got lost...
On the other side, the missionaries were all red-necked and chasing after them vigorously, but there were so many people in front of them that they just couldn't catch up.
Sometimes I see the other party holding something too heavy, and they take a breather in front of them, and then rush towards them, and suddenly the shelves of the store next to them collapse, causing them to stumble.
Then he saw that he could touch it with his hand, but suddenly a passerby appeared, blindfolded his eyes from behind, and said with a smile: "Guess who I am~"
"Who is it?" Some missionaries were so honest that they actually tried to guess which acquaintance it was, but they just said: "Ouch! I admitted my mistake..." and then disappeared without a trace.
Long Huamin was furious and shouted: "My pocket watch was given by the Pope himself! If anyone recovers it, I will tell the Pope to give it to me too!"
These rednecks are even more energetic, but they can't catch up even if they try hard.
One of them got smart and remembered that he climbed over the watchtower on the battleship, so he climbed up the nearby building with his hands and feet in twos and twos, and jumped on the roof on the green tiles to chase after him.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer, he had to pounce down and snatch the self-ringing bell back.
He happened to pass by the second floor window, which was covered with red and purple silk. The room was even more decorated like a dream, and the incense was blowing into his face, making people almost intoxicated.
"Come and play~"
"Come and have fun~"
The clear and sweet voice surrounded him, and several gorgeous young women grabbed his arm and dragged him directly into the room~
"Ouch, it's still bright red~"
"Hehehe~ Golden retrievers are quite prickly~"
The young ladies started laughing, and then fell silent.
Long Huamin, a few people who can speak Chinese, couldn't help but feel ashamed when they heard it on the street. They were just one step away, how could this happen...
They continued to chase, all of them were panting, and their bodies were covered with white breath, and finally they chased them to a house.
"Wait a minute!" Long Huamin was, after all, the current leader of missionaries in China. He looked up and saw that he was not far from the Forbidden City.
"This street...there are many eunuchs living there..."
His blood had just surged, and now he suddenly fell into the ice cave. The tender pink on his face suddenly turned pale, and then his face turned dark after a while, and he bravely knocked on the door.
"Father-in-law, father-in-law, father-in-law!"
The Chinese language in this voice was extremely loud and urgent, and it seemed like he was looking for something important.
When the door opened a crack, the housekeeper poked his head out and whispered, "I don't know you." Then he closed the door.
Long Huamin and others swarmed up and banged on the door panel. If there was someone in the room, they needed to get to the bottom of it.
The door opened again, and this time Wang Hongyu stuck his head out and glanced at everyone.
Sure, there are 7 missionaries here, and the one with the most amazing voice is Long Huamin~
"Are you looking for something?" Wang Hongyu opened the door halfway, just in time to let the missionaries take a look at the yard.
When I looked at them, I saw clocks, pocket watches, and chiming bells all scattered all over the place, including of course the ones they were carrying. It made my eyes go straight.
"Nothing..." Wang Hongyu closed the door again.
Wow!
The missionaries were so anxious that they looked at their watches inside.
"Open the door quickly! Open the door quickly!" Long Huamin shouted and begged.
"Father-in-law, he has a migraine~"
Father-in-law, he has a migraine...
What does this mean? They are all in Chinese. Why can’t they be read together and make no sense?
Long Huamin's face turned green this time. He was familiar with the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty and knew that this was the eunuch asking for bribes in disguise.
My father-in-law had a migraine and said the silver was not heavy enough.
They are openly extorting, aren't you afraid that we will report them?
"You are undercover. I will not take the initiative to report you, but please keep a low profile~" Wang Hongyu said this as if he had read through their thoughts.
"What should we do!?" The missionary was so anxious that he held the cross and prayed. Only Long Huamin thought of Xu Guangqi, and calling him might be able to solve the problem.
But then he thought and shook his head. Xu Guangqi's current position was not high, so he had to keep a low profile, otherwise he would lose the opportunity to rise rapidly in the future.
"People inside, listen, how much silver do we need? We can't get it together so quickly, but we have money!"
So good~
Wang Hongyu almost laughed out loud behind the door. In the forty-eighth year of Wanli, weren't the biggest fat sheep you guys?
However, I am not in a hurry to slaughter them. I want to learn the sport of enclosure and let the sheepmen have a good time eating the sheep and rub them well.
"You guys have misunderstood~ Father-in-law, he just likes clocks. If you get enough heavy clocks and lend them to us, we can return them~"
I only love clocks...enough and heavy clocks...borrow...
There is a way!
Isn’t there a big clock in our temporary gathering place?
Didn't that so-and-so's family just buy a chiming clock from Hao Jing'ao?
You, you, and you, I remember all have clocks, bring them all!
The missionaries took action, and within an hour, they gathered another large clock and four self-ringing bells.
This time the door was opened for them, and everyone came in with their clocks. Seeing that all the pocket watches and clocks were in good condition, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Crack!"
Wang Hongyu closed the door, locked the big brass lock, and fastened the door bolt as thick as a bucket.
He smiled and said: "You're here, let's get started~" This chapter has been completed!
