Chapter 337: Cai Qian's Past (Part 1)

"King, you... you snatched a ship of things like this. What's the difference between your behavior and the pagans in Algiers? You... you don't return the goods to us, you... you are going to hell!" Unexpectedly, at this moment, a figure among the Western merchants stood up and scolded Cai Qian. When he saw this man's appearance, he saw that he was bearded and dressed in a black robe, which was very different from ordinary merchants. He looked like a missionary accompanying the boat, not an ordinary foreign merchant.

"Fuck, you mom cursed me to go to hell, I'll let you go to hell now!" The missionary spoke in Chinese, and the pirates understood it as soon as they heard it. Cai Lin couldn't help but start scolding the missionary.

"Forget it, I'm in a good mood today. There is a person who dares to talk too much. It's a good thing to say a few words." Cai Qian was relaxed and comfortable this day. It seemed that he wanted to find someone to chat casually than a killing. He said to Cai Lin: "Bring him here, pagan, hell, haha, interesting. How about it, the big bearded man, can you drink my wine? If you don't even dare to drink my wine, what qualifications do you have to insult me ​​here? "

"I...I..." The missionary looked at Cai Qian, and couldn't believe that this person wanted to take him to drink after being scolded by him.

"Big Beard, why are you still standing here? The boss asked you to go there, which was a blessing you had cultivated in your previous life. If you mumble again, be careful that I will kill you!" Cai Lin looked at Cai Qian and wanted to save this person's life, so he had to push him over. However, the missionary was tall and shook by Cai Lin, and he didn't fall down.

"Okay, come with me. If I don't kill people today, your life will be saved!" Cai Qian looked at the missionary disdainfully while going up to the tail building by himself. The missionary saw Cai picking over and knowing that it would be better to endure humiliation and bear the burden. He followed Cai Qian to the tail building. Cai Qian's flagship was very tall, and above the tail building, the vast East Sea, and the missionary looked at this somewhat strange sea and unexpectedly felt a little wide.

"You can speak Chinese? Yes, then let me ask you, what's your name?" Cai Qian said, taking a bottle of wine and put it in front of the missionary.

"I... am an Atlantic, named Turner. I used to preach in Macau. I returned to China a few years ago, and this year I came to China again. For some reason, our ship deviated from the route, and then...and then we met you." The missionary named Turner had already decided to breathe, and his words were much smoother.

"I don't know why? In our words, this is called fate. You came to my boat by chance. Is it God's will? You said you were preaching, so you explained to me why the religion you believe in actually brought you to me. In your eyes, I am just a pagan who should go to hell... a pagan?" After taking a sip of wine, Cai Qian seemed to be more interested in this Westerner, so he took the initiative to talk to him.

"That's...that's because God sees you have a confession, so he sent me here to guide you on the right path. If you... if you refuse to convert to God and change your mind, you will definitely go to hell. I...I am your last hope." Turner saw that Cai Qian was not as fierce as he had previously remembered. He gradually plucked up the courage to defend Cai Qian according to his usual preaching words.

"Then the pagans you mentioned about Al, what they should go to hell because... they don't believe in the God you mentioned?" Cai Qian asked again.

"That... it's not. They are just astrayed in the doctrine. If they can still be good people, I think... they may not necessarily go to hell. But what they do at sea is like you. In fact, even if they believe in God, if they rob others' property for themselves like you, they may... they will probably go to hell." Turner thought that the first priority at this time was to try his best to persuade Cai Qian to believe in God, so that he said a lot more leniently.

"Then why should I go to hell?" When Cai Qian heard this, he suddenly shouted loudly. Then Cai Qian drank a big sip of wine and cursed at Turner: "If you want me to go to hell, then I will tell you that all the farmers and those who do business on this shore should die, and they should all go to hell in front of me! Well, on that day, I am just a bitch, hell, what are you afraid to go to hell? But those well-known figures on the shore, I want to see what kind of bullshit they look when they go to hell?!"

"Master, this..." Turner also looked confused when he heard Cai Qian's words, and asked unconsciously: "Master, why... why do you call yourself a bitch? I have been in China for more than ten years. Isn't the word "bitcher" used only when cursing people?"

"Bitch? Haha, you are a foreigner after all. There are some things you don't know about in China, right?" Cai Qian saw that Turner was unintentionally quarreling with him, but he calmed down and said to Turner: "The bitch I'm talking about is not for swearing, but here, here, there are always a group of people on this sea. They are written as bitch in the official household registration booklet! If a person is born to be a bitch, he cannot be an official or a businessman, and can only fight for a lifetime

Ziyu, or boiling water on the shore, shaves people's heads, or playing sings and singing for weddings and funerals. And what bitches do, it seems to be natural for people on the shore! If they don't want to give money, they don't give money. If they want to scold you, they will scold you. When you go to the government, the government never gives us bitches a good look. Then you say, are we people really the life of heaven and should live inferior to others?”

"This...but I heard that the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, when his grandfather was in power, had already deposed the bad family?" It seems that Turner has been in China for more than ten years, and many things are still clear.

"It's abolished? Why are you as confused as a three-year-old child?" Cai Qian sneered: "The court's system is abolished, so what? So the high and low people in their hearts are also abolished? Joke! Those farmers and vendors on the shore, seeing that we were the same as before, we could do a little bit of what we could not do before, but now they are so angry that they can't do it. If you can't do your work on weekdays, you will call you a bitch. If you lose money in business, you say that the money is earned by our bitch, and you have to let us share half of the money you earn. Those officials in the county government are even less concerned about the matter. Hum, they are also going to be the same.

How can we control these? They use yamen runners to call the people to serve as jobs, and they still need those people. Then you say that when we sue the officials, how many officials will look at us? Some of us also think that since the cheap people are all deprived, then we will also go and do it. Later we realized that those who have such ideas are all idiots! As long as there are their people in the yamen runners, they have ten thousand reasons to stuff their people in, and our people can't even do it for a month. Looking at them all day, they all have the words "bitter" in their eyes and hearts. It's better to get on the boat like this!"

"Master, you were the same back then..." Turner seemed to understand something when he heard Cai Qian's words.

"I want to hear it? If you want to hear it, you can take a sip." Cai Qian said, opening Turner's bottle of wine and stuffing it into Turner's hand. Turner didn't know how the wine tasted, so he drank it immediately. Before he could fully enter his stomach, he felt it was spicy and pungent. He couldn't help coughing loudly, and half of the wine was spit out.

However, after drinking this sip of wine, Turner vaguely felt that in this bottle of wine, or on the boat of Cai Qian, there seemed to be another world, a world without rules, cruelty, but... unrestrained.

"Haha, you can drink a lot?" Cai Qian looked at Turner's embarrassing situation and laughed. It seemed that Turner's first sip of wine still made him very satisfied. Then, Cai Qian gradually stopped hiding him and said, "You guessed that, I was a fisherman on the Tong'an boat back then. We used to be called "媚 people" by the government. In the eyes of people on the shore, we are the most humble group of people in the world.

We don’t have a house, so we spend the night and eat every day on the boat. I was born on the boat back then. But so what? With the boat, I will go wherever I want to go on this sea! Those people have houses and think they are great, but they don’t think about it. Their whole life has been tied to that house! You said, is it better to have only walked three or five miles in their lifetime, or is there a boat that can make the whole world a good place for their homes?"

"Of course, you are right. When I was born, the government no longer regarded us as bitches. Yes, my parents thought so, so later, after hearing their words, I went to the Tong'an government office to work, thinking that I could always get some money, right? Humph, I didn't expect that I had received enough rewards in a month! Even if there were those farmers and workers who came out, they would listen to you as if the sky had fallen. They would always care about you. If you borrow, they would not repay it. If you don't borrow, they would scold you. Do you think that such a bullshit life is done by his mother? In just three months, I will stop working. In my opinion, these bullshit people should all go to hell!"

"But then again, I have to find a new job to do it, right? So in the next few years, I did a little bit of everything, fishing on the boat, although it was not interesting, but I did a lot of it and played cotton for people. And that's it... I'm pretty lucky. Every time I go to the casino, I can win a lot. Who knows why I can always win... But don't matter whether I win or not, in short, I lived a good life in those years, and I didn't think about going to sea to do business at that time."

"But even such a day, there are people who don't let you live! At that time, I won more money and went to the casino. Hehe, that day, I went to Tong'an to gamble again. Unexpectedly, there was a yamen runner I knew in the casino. That bastard, who relied on his own weaving cloth and was a good citizen of generations, and he just slap me. I was used to it at first, and just wanted to win him and leave. Humph, his grandmother's... This dog, the beast I raised, I bet with it with my mother,

After winning him all, this guy was so angry that he took all the money on the table. He told me that he was a bitch like me, but he was not worthy of winning money, and he was only worthy of giving him filial piety! Seeing his pig and dog appearance, I couldn't help it anymore. Just so happened that I had a knife to kill fish on my body, so I didn't think much about it, and I just stabbed him in the heart! Later... I knew that Tong'an could not survive anymore, so I had to escape. Anyway, the sea was so big, and it was not difficult to have a place to live, right?"

"Haha, I didn't expect that at that time, a leader who robbed the house was named Lin Fazhi. I thought that there was no place to go anyway, so I simply threw it on his boat. At that time, there were many people on the boat like me, so I lived happily and treated them as brothers. After two years, Lin Fazhi saw that money was jealous, and the government bought him ashore. He did go, but when he left, his people could not take him away! When Lin Fazhi was disbanding, half of the brothers were unwilling to go with him, and they all wanted to continue to do business without capital on this sea with me. Then, I wouldn't I be sorry for these brothers if I don't be a king by myself? So I gathered up a few ships and continued to find the merchants who had left the order here, but at that time, I was with me.

There are many people who are doing business at sea. It is always difficult for me to work alone on these ships, so I found a big gang called Shui Ao Gang at that time and joined them. Later, Shui Ao Gang was finished, but my ship and manpower were also pulled out little by little, and it became what you see." Cai Qian had been weak before joining Shui Ao Gang, so no one cared about him. Even Ruan Yuan, Yang Ji and others had known about Cai Qian from Shui Ao Gang. When they heard Lin Fazhi's name, Turner also showed a strange look. It turned out that Turner had come to Macau to preach as early as the end of Qianlong's reign. He had long heard of the pirates in Fujian and Guangdong at that time. At that time, the first big pirate who plundered merchants and civilians on the sea in Fujian was Lin Fazhi mentioned by Cai Qian.

"King, I see you like this, I... If you are not a pirate, I would also look like someone who can be friends." Turner heard Cai Qian tell his story, and then looked at Cai Qian. Although he was a pirate leader, he was only wearing ordinary clothes. The wine he drank was strong, but was a bit rough. Looking at the bottom of the tail building, many pirates relaxed and took a few bottles of wine to drink. Their bottles were exactly the same as Cai Qian. Seeing this, Turner gradually realized that the pirates in the boat may be mostly like Cai Qian. After the people who were discriminated against on the shore, they were inferior to those on the shore. When they got on the boat, they were regarded as brothers by Cai Qian. No wonder more than ten years have passed since Lin Fazhi, but Cai Qian can still stand on the sea, leaving the government helpless.

"Haha, since you got on my boat and met me again, at least today, I can treat you as a friend." Cai Qian no longer argued with Turner, but drank a sip of wine on his own. When Lu Lao heard that Cai Qian had found a foreigner to drink on the boat, he felt that he was interesting, so he went up to the tail building. Looking at the drunk Cai Qian and Turner, he joked to Cai Qian: "Cai Qian, are you very interested today? He also found a foreigner to come up. Why? Are you interested in foreigners? "

"King, this one is..." Turner looked at Lu Lao, but his eyes lit up. Although it was getting winter at this time, southern Fujian was still warm. Lu Lao only wore a pair of wooden clogs this day, and his bare feet were exposed in front of Turner. Turner had never seen such a person dressed up in Macau.
