Chapter 267: Messenger of God

With this arrogant roar, a guy with a fat face walked into the yard with a dozen people, carrying sticks or shoulder poles one by one, with a very ferocious expression.

The originally small courtyard was suddenly filled with people. Michelle and the others seemed to have become accustomed to it, so they rushed forward and blocked Zhou Heng and the others inside.

"Sorry, please give me three days, three days to give you money."

The landlord with a fat face fanned Michelle away.

"Stop crying for me poor. I rent a house, not a good house, I also want to eat and drink. You don't pay for the house, what do you think?"

Zhou Heng glanced at Boss Xue, Boss Xue nodded and raised his hand and pulled him. Everyone in front of him dispersed, and he quickly walked to the landlord.

He stared at the landlord and asked:

"How much money do you owe?"

Then, he reached into his arms, and the landlord was stunned. He thought that Boss Xue wanted to do something, so he subconsciously pushed it two steps. Seeing that Boss Xue was taking out a purse, his hideous face instantly turned into a smile.

"Haha, this is a good person. They have been renting this courtyard for two months and have paid two taels of silver. After that, they have been owed. Now the profit is 10 taels of silver."

The landlord stretched out a fist and stared at Boss Xue with a smile on his lips. The meaning was very obvious. Don’t you want to be a good person? Give you a chance to pay back the debt!

Boss Xue looked up at the smelly fish and shrimps, snorted and shook the landlord's hand.

"Ten taels? You really dare to ask for it. The rent for such a house may be less than two taels a year. You have to be cheap and behave like a good person. Bullying them don't understand Chinese, right? Let's go to Shuntian Mansion and talk to see who is right."

The landlord was stunned. When the brave people behind him heard that Shuntian Mansion had no rules, they all looked at the landlord.

The landlord was exposed and instantly became angry.

"One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. Which onion do you care about the heaven and earth? And how much does it cost to my house?"

Boss Xue looked around the people and said, "Either do it or get out of here, don't you want money."

The landlord raised his hand and slammed his arms at the boss Xue. Seeing that he had taken action, Michelle was a little anxious and turned around to look at Zhou Heng and Zhu Yunmo. Seeing that they were both looking indifferently at the front, he felt relieved.

Just as the landlord's stick was about to hit Boss Xue's head, Boss Xue waved his hand lightly. The landlord's stick had already been removed. He almost fell down. Looking at the empty palm, he was a little confused.

Boss Xue held the stick, slapped his palm, and looked at the landlord playfully.

"Just want to hurt people?"

As he said that, he grabbed both ends of the stick, raised his legs and smashed it hard, and the stick broke into two pieces in an instant. Boss Xue threw away the broken wooden stick, patted the debris on his hand and looked at the landlord.

"What does it mean? Is there still a fight? We are in a tight time, so we have to come and go together."

When the landlord saw it, he suddenly lost his previous turtle spirit, and the sound of a wooden stick and a pole falling to the ground came from behind him.

These people rushed up and ran away in an instant.

Michelle and his group were so moved that they were beyond regaining their feelings.

Michelle took advantage of this time and briefly explained Zhou Heng’s purpose. These people looked at Zhou Heng with different eyes.

Michelle pulled Zhou Heng, "Dear sir, come and see the warehouse with me. All of our things are here."

As they said that, the people quickly opened the east wing room. There were many bags piled up in the room, covered with straw. They were obviously afraid that the weather would be cold and that these things would be frozen.

After the straw was cleaned, Zhou Heng walked forward. On the outside were bags of potatoes, behind them were corn, and behind them, he actually saw sweet potatoes.

Michelle climbed up the bag and walked behind. Two more people jumped up to help. Soon, they moved down a few small bags and a wooden box.

As soon as the bag was opened, Zhu Yunmo and Boss Xue got in first because the familiar spicy taste inside the bag was already emitted.

Both of them were a little excited. Zhu Yunmo grabbed a handful and found that this was the pepper seeds.

"Chi pepper seeds!"

Obviously, Michelle understood this sentence, and he was stunned, and then his face was full of a blow. He turned around and looked at the things in the room, looking decadent.

"I didn't expect you all know about peppers."

Zhou Heng smiled and patted his shoulder.

"We have met foreign merchants before, so we have basically seen these things, but we can buy these seeds, just tell me the price."

Michelle looked at his companions, and the people discussed it in a low voice and looked at Zhou Heng.

"We don't know how much the price is suitable. Don't rush to calculate this first. Sir, take a look at this first."

As he said that, Michel opened the wooden box behind him, and a box of muskets appeared in front of him. Zhou Heng paused his body and looked up at Michelle meaningfully.

Michelle shrugged and quickly explained:

"Dear sir, don't get me wrong. We have encountered many pirates and robbers from the sea. In order to save our lives, this is a necessary equipment. I think since you know those seeds, you will naturally know this."

Zhou Heng picked up the musket and pulled the bolt. There was no gunpowder filling it. There was an ignition device on it. Obviously, this was a relatively original design, but the smooth barrel and the smooth outside of the gun barrel mean that their technology has reached a certain level.

After fiddling with her, Zhou Heng put down the things.

"I can't ask for this thing, I'll ask for the rest of the seeds. Tell me the price."

Michelle turned around and looked at his companion and tried to stretch out a finger.

Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes, "One hundred taels?"

Michelle nodded, "I asked, the cost of repairing our boat is about the same price. We just want to go home. The language here is not accessible and we can't survive. At least we have to go back and report to my companions' families to let them know what happened to us."

Zhou Heng nodded and turned around to look at Boss Xue.

"Give him one hundred taels of silver."

Boss Xue was stunned. Although he was unwilling to do so, he still took out the silver notes from his purse and handed them to Michelle.

Michelle did not raise his hand to answer, "Dear sir, if it is convenient, I'd better give us the silver. We cannot exchange this silver note."

Zhou Heng knew that these people still felt that the banknotes were unstable and they only felt at ease when they saw the banknotes.

"Okay, then we'll get the silver, as for these seeds."

Michelle waved his hand to the people behind him, "Help everyone, help the gentleman load the seeds."

After saying this, all these people started to move.

Zhou Heng and the others walked out of the warehouse and were not idle. In fact, it would be better for these people to leave Daliang Country as soon as possible.

Several ships were sunk, and if they were lucky, they might think that these merchant ships had an accident in Daliang Kingdom, which would cause dissatisfaction or disputes.

Daliang has no firearms, and there is no developed navy. If it really wants to capture it from the coast, Daliang will only be beaten.

Just as they were thinking that they had loaded the car, the last wooden box was also moved out, Zhou Heng frowned.

"Michelle, don't load this car."

Michelle shook her head, "This is for sir, don't refuse."

Zhou Heng sighed, "I will have someone come to give away money later, and I will also send a doctor to treat your companions. If you want to go back, you must at least take good care of your health."

Michelle thanked again, and Zhou Heng and the others left in the car.

A man behind Michelle, watching Zhou Heng and the others leave, asked in confusion:

"Michelle, we won't be cheated, what if these people don't pay for things?"

Michelle turned around and looked at him, shook her head and said:

"We have been here in Daliang for two months. Have you ever seen people who speak our language?"

These people shook their heads.

"It's good if we can exchange our food for money. Besides, look at the food and the package, what are there?"

These people didn't know that, so they quickly opened the food box, the whole roasted lamb, and various meats and vegetables filled it with food boxes. For those who have been hungry for many days, this temptation is simply fatal.

"This is meat!"

"Hurry and open the package."

This time, there was no need to give instructions. The pack was opened quickly, and the sets of cotton coats and robes were tied inside, all of which were brand new.

These people were stunned and looked at Michelle.
