The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Finally, Zhao Chuanxin and Zhao Zhongyi walked out each carrying a pocket watch.

Especially Zhao Chuanxin's pocket watch. The movement was actually made of gold, and the back was completely transparent. He didn't even know what material it was made of. He could see the flywheel rotating rapidly inside. It has the word Bovet written on it, and it is said to be manufactured by a branch factory set up by Switzerland in Nanjing.

rare!

Even though Zhao Zhongyi's was a bit inferior, he couldn't put it down.

After leaving the shop, Zhao Chuanxin's face was beaming with joy, while Manager Niu was just the opposite, so gloomy that he could shed tears.

Zhao Chuanxin grabbed him again.

Manager Niu wanted to break free, but Zhao Chuanxin's strength was surprisingly strong.

Manager Niu, look, those foreign cigarettes are good, and there are also Luzon cigarettes. I like to smoke these. Of course, they must be paired with matches. Let's get a box of the same.

Luzon cigarettes are cigars!

Niu Guanshi, this parasol is useful. It can be used on rainy days so it won't get wet. And here are assorted biscuits, glass bottles, soap, towels...

Except for the initial pocket watch, which he brought for Zhao Zhongyi, the rest were bought for himself. For Niu Guanshi, although it hurts, he can still bear it.

That's the worst part.

Some foreign goods are called playful goods, such as pocket watches, music boxes, glass bottles and cans...

Zhao Chuanxin also discovered that many practical household department stores are even cheaper and better than local goods.

After almost all the purchases were made, Zhao Chuanxin let Niu Guanshi go.

Because there was a purchase from the Niu family, I asked curiously: Manager Niu, who is this?

Zhao Chuanxin grabbed Bai and said, This is my uncle. Take me to see the world and buy me some things. It's our first meeting. Do you have any gifts for me?

Na Buyang smiled awkwardly: I bought some dried meat as a token of my appreciation.

Manager Niu’s face turned dark!

Zhao Chuanxin accepted it as soon as he was satisfied: Okay, uncle, you have to work first. We'll talk later, I'm leaving first.

Everyone helped him carry his luggage on his shoulders and arrived at Chen Daguang's car shop.

Chen Daguang saw that they had brought so many things and asked, Why did you buy so much?

Zhao Chuanxin said with a face full of joy: What a blessing, I met a kind-hearted person. I said I was poor, and he bought it for me. I said I wanted that, but I just couldn't afford it, so he paid for it. What can I do?

Chen Daguang: ...

Do you think I can trust you?

Zhao Zhongyi pulled Zhao Chuanxin aside: Isn't it bad for us to force you like this? What if a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry?

Zhao Chuanxin sneered and said: Brother, you don't quite understand what people like Manager Niu are thinking now. At this time, even if you kneel down and beg for mercy, he won't blink an eye when it's time to trick you. On the contrary, you will trick you. No matter how much he does, as long as he is still afraid of you, he will not dare to act rashly.

Zhao Zhongyi seemed to have some realization.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin took out some things and divided them up: Take these home as gifts. The rest are my own, don't touch them.

Everyone is naturally happy.

Shuangxi said: Zhuan Xin, your pocket watch is so beautiful. How much did it cost?

Zhao Zhongyi answered for him: That manager Niu spent a hundred yuan to buy it!

Shuangxi gasped!

I'm jealous.

He didn't know the story or the truth at all.

I just think Zhao Chuanxin is awesome.

Just open your mouth and coax the old man into spending so much money.

How did this mouth grow?

…

The more Guanshi Niu thinks about today's events, the angrier he becomes.

Was tricked by that guy.

That little money is a small thing, just a drop in the bucket for this shipment.

The key is that he is now certain that Zhao Chuanxin and Zhao Zhongyi must have known about the fact that he colluded with the gangster and wanted to rob the goods.

what to do?

But then he thought again, Zhao Chuanxin was blackmailing him today, presumably because he didn't want to break up and make the matter bigger.

That said, there is no problem in proceeding as originally planned.

But he couldn't swallow this breath.

After thinking for a while, he called his confidants: Go and tell the contact person that after you get the goods from the caravan, send a team of people to Chen Daguang's caravan to intercept their goods as well. By the way, Zhao Zhongyi and his group Kill him!

He did know about the Lugangling Village Insurance Team.

So what?

Let Gu Yan fight with the insurance team, whether the insurance team is destroyed or Gu Yan's strength is damaged, it is a good thing for him.

…

During dinner in the evening, Chen Daguang said to Zhao Chuanxin: The goods are almost scattered. We will do another day of shopping tomorrow, and we will set off the day after tomorrow. It just so happens that the Niu family caravan is also setting off the day after tomorrow. Even if we don't go with them, we will be too separated. Far.

However, Zhao Chuanxin remembered that something happened to the Niu family caravan this time and the goods were robbed.

So he kindly persuaded: I advise you to stay away from them. The Niu family has been so smooth in the past few years that they have lost their vigilance. I think something will happen to them this time. In addition, you can buy some goods that the Niu family is in short supply. It’s a good idea to go back and sell it for a higher price!”

This is the difference between him and Du Lisan.

Du Li helped the poor with three robberies, but Zhao Chuanxin did not hate the rich. Wouldn't it be good to guide the rich to develop together?

Chen Daguang's heart tightened, but he fell into deep thought.

However, the next day, regardless of whether Chen Daguang listened to Zhao Chuanxin's advice, Zhao Chuanxin met someone familiar again.

It was the Frenchman who took pictures of the Russian soldiers that day.

Chatham was a French army soldier who retired after the war of aggression against China and started working as a reporter.

He doesn't like to live in one corner and likes to travel to India and China. He especially likes to take photos that show a strong contrast between what he considers civilization and barbarism.

Whether they are anti-war people or radicals, they all agree with him. Therefore, in a short period of time, his career flourished, and when he had money, he spent his own money to buy the latest small German Palumos camera.

Since its launch, this camera has been greatly welcomed by journalists from all walks of life.

In addition, he has a house in Shengjing. Inside, there are many treasures he collected in China, as well as some souvenirs of his war in China.

He often lingered over the weapons on their shelves, remembering the glory days of the past.

When you get home, put down the ingredients you bought.

He shouted in a rough voice: I'm back, cook for me quickly.

A woman with bound feet came out of the house with a swaying step and a somewhat pale face.

When the meal was ready, Chatham roared loudly: What the hell, forget it without butter, how can you eat it with so much lard? Also, what the hell is this bean paste?

With that said, he picked up the belt and began to vent his dissatisfaction.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

He put down his belt, pointed at the door and said, Go, open the door!

The woman swayed and opened the door in fear.

Then, she saw eight people standing at the door.

The eight people were silent, their faces looked cold and ruthless, their eyes indifferent.

The leader looked at the red mark on the woman's face where the belt had been pulled out, and put his index finger on his mouth: Shh!

Then, Shuangxi walked in from the woman's side.

In the room, Chatham's angry roar came: You filthy savage, who allowed you to come in?

Then he screamed: Ah...

After that, the howling stopped abruptly.

Zhao Chuanxin and others filed in.

Zhao Zhongyi saw a mark of fingernail scratching on Shuangxi's face.

He couldn't help but laugh and said: Why did you let someone arrest you?

Shuangxi said with a smile: He is very strong, he was caught accidentally.

The woman was about to scream when she saw Chatham lying in a pool of blood. A member of the insurance team reached out and blocked her mouth in time.

Zhao Chuanxin looked around the room with his hands behind his back.

There is a gilded Buddha statue on the shelf, a gold cup that is either gilded or pure gold, embedded with gems and pearls, and various trinkets, many of which look like sacrificial vessels.

Zhao Chuanxin took one look and knew he had killed the wrong person.

Looking at the shelf on the other side, there is a long Hotchkiss rifle. The most conspicuous thing is a Hotchkiss M1897 heavy machine gun, two ammunition plates, and neatly stacked heavy machine gun ammunition.

There was also an old camera placed crookedly on a shelf, as well as several boxes of film.

Zhao Chuanxin said nothing and started pretending.

What little free space was left was filled by him.

Then he looked at the woman and said to Shuangxi: Shuangxi, you can sleep here tonight and watch this woman. Tomorrow, we will pick you up and let her go.

Shuangxi was a little unhappy, but finally nodded in agreement.

Before leaving, Zhao Chuanxin warned again: We are all our compatriots, so don't do anything worse than an animal.

Shuangxi was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: What do you think I am?

The woman's body shook after hearing her compatriot.

I want to speak, but I don’t know how.

The next day, Zhao Chuanxin and others came to pick up Shuangxi at noon.

This is because Zhao Chuanxin's advice to Chen Daguang was adopted by Chen Daguang.

He also felt that it was too close to the Niu family team and it was not very safe.

Therefore, they waited for the Niu family caravan to leave first and walked for a long time before setting off.

When Zhao Chuanxin saw Shuangxi taking the woman downstairs with him, he frowned and looked at him, waiting for an explanation.

Shuangxi said: It's not me, she wants to follow.

This woman has pretty features and a petite figure.

It was just foot binding, which made Zhao Chuanxin unhappy. He said: If you follow, you will be responsible for taking care of it yourself.

The woman hurriedly said: Brother, I can take care of myself, just take me with you.

Listening to that voice, it didn't sound like ordinary people's family members.

Upon hearing this, Shuangxi showed joy on his face.

This mother-in-law said herself that if she is willing to follow me, wouldn’t it mean that I got a wife for nothing?

He didn't care if he had been raped by foreigners, his thinking was still at a level where he couldn't find a wife.

The caravan sets off.

After leaving the gate of Shengjing, Zhao Chuanxin took out foreign guns from Pocket Technology and equipped everyone.

Everyone in the group felt that they had gained a lot.

Merchants profited heavily and obtained money and goods. Shuangxi and others defeated the foreigners and also gained wealth.

The gold and other items found in Chatham's house were divided equally among several people. Those treasures placed on the shelves were taken away by Zhao Chuanxian, and they went home to put on the ancient shelves for decoration.

It must be quite appropriate for the occasion.
