Chapter 55 Kidnapping
"The angel is going this way, the humble job has already 'invited' the person here."

On the outskirts of Shuntian Mansion in the capital, in an unremarkable Zhuangzi, Zhang Xianqiu led Li Yuntang along the dark tunnel to the underground secret room.

"Be careful where you step," the general flag specially instructed when turning the corner, and lowered the oil lamp on his hand to prevent the nobleman from slipping and falling, and then continued to introduce:
"This time, a total of more than a dozen foreigners were arrested. They are Bretti people from Tianzhu. They bought into our Han territory from Tianjin two days ago..."

"Are all the dozen or so people together?" Li Yuntang walked down the steps carefully, and did not forget to ask.

"They came together, and they said they came to Dahan to buy some tea, raw silk, and porcelain, and transported them back to Brietti for sale."

"If you want to buy raw silk, tea, etc. from our dynasty, why bother to come to the capital? If you go to Panyu to buy, not only the distance is much shorter, but the price is also cheaper. Isn't it a better choice?"

Hearing that something was wrong, Li Yuntang paused, frowned, looked at Zhang Xianqiu's uncertain face due to the flickering lights, and asked, "Do you also believe this kind of thing?"

"The angels don't know. Apart from buying goods, they have another purpose, which is to find our dynasty's healers to treat diseases; the capital is the best place in the world, and the level of this healer's healing and saving lives is naturally much higher than that of Panyu. "

Seek medical treatment?

Li Yuntang was taken aback by this statement, Zhang Xianqiu seemed to see his doubts, and then explained:
"The angels don't know that Xiyi's medical skills especially respect bloodletting; even in their eyes, bloodletting can cure all diseases!
Yi doctors believed that if the bloodletting did not cure the disease, then the bloodletting was not enough; if a lot of bloodletting still killed the person, it was too late. "

After being reminded like this, Li Yuntang remembered that the theoretical system of modern medicine has not yet been established, and Western medicine is still playing with the absurd theory of four elements and four body fluids, so he complained:
"Oh, these barbarian doctors are not so much doctors as they are executioners; there are probably more ways to kill people than to save people."

"Angel Mingjian, don't say that these Xiyi civilians are the monarchs of the Xiyi. If they get sick, they will be frightened by their doctors."

Zhang Xianqiu silently echoed, while continuing to lead the way forward, he seemed to be addicted to talking, and continued to speak:
"There is a big country in Taixi named Frans, what is the name of its former monarch...Napoli!

It seems to have said, 'their western medicine is studied by murderers,' as the king of a country, he can only enjoy such a degree of medical treatment, which shows the poor medical skills of western and western medicine.

But it's a pity, even if the monarch understood this truth, he still died in the end; I just don't know if the cause of his death was related to bloodletting. "

Napoli huh?

After thinking for a while, Li Yuntang finally came to his senses, and guessed that the King of Frans that Zhang Xianqiu was talking about was probably Napoleon; then he sighed in his heart, the greatest modern military strategist in the West had already passed away.

But having said that, Zhang Xianqiu's evaluation of modern western medicine suddenly attracted Li Yuntang's attention - since western medicine is so unbearable, is it okay to let them remain so unbearable?
Let Western medicine, which can only kill pigs such as bloodletting, enema, vomiting, and scalding, be bound to backwardness and ignorance; let relatively civilized Eastern medicine, under the guidance of scientific thinking summary theory, become the predecessor of modern medicine.

After all, many people with ulterior motives in previous lives often compared traditional Chinese medicine with modern medicine that had nothing to do with old western medicine, in order to prove that the level of ancient Chinese medicine was low, and then further proved that the race was inferior to others.

In today's world of great controversy, of course we must do everything possible to build up the national self-confidence of our own nation, attack the self-confidence of all opposing countries, and put ignorant and inferior hats on the medicine summarized by other ancients, which should be able to influence them subtly Confidence takes its toll…

"Angels, people are inside."

Zhang Xianqiu, who was leading the way, stopped suddenly, and Li Yuntang raised his head when he heard the sound, and found himself in front of a prison cell surrounded by wooden fences. There were two guards with knives at the door.

"Open the door." After giving instructions to the two yamen servants, Zhang Xianqiu turned around and said, "Angel, this person is the leader of the dozen or so foreigners, and his name is Andrew."

Seeing that Li Yuntang still had doubts on his face, he added:
"More than a dozen barbarians were interrogated separately by our Nan Yamen, and the confessions they gave were consistent with each other, and even the details were correct. That's why I dared to assure the angels that they would not be able to deceive them."

After slightly nodding his head, Li Yuntang walked into the prison cell and looked at a man tied to a wooden chair from a distance. His black and yellow curly hair covered his forehead, and he looked a little creepy in the dark dungeon.

Before Li Yuntang could speak to wake him up, a yamen servant stepped forward and poured a bucket of cold water on his face. The foreigner named Andrew woke up immediately, ignoring the cold water flowing into his mouth, and blurted out a national curse:
"fuxk!"

In the Southern Yamen Dingwuer Bureau of the Police Department, there are not a few people who can speak Western languages, and the servant who splashed water is one of them; when he heard the word, he raised the bucket, but was stopped by Li Yuntang when he was about to smash it down. .

"There is something that needs your cooperation."

Li Yuntang, who holds an absolute advantage, doesn't mean to be polite. As long as he gives enough benefits and shows enough strength to threaten his life, there is a high probability of promoting cooperation, and there is no need to ask for help in a humble manner.

If the people in front of him are not very knowledgeable, he doesn't mind changing a group of people; the lives of the big men and the people cannot be neglected, but few foreigners will disappear, but no one will care.

"Let go of my relatives and friends, I will naturally cooperate with you."

Andrew's voice was correct, which surprised Li Yuntang Xiaoxiu. He turned his head slightly and asked Zhang Xianqiu:
"His official language is very good. It is not difficult to pretend to be Brietti's envoy, but whether he has been to the capital many times, the official language will be so fluent."

"Angel, don't worry, there are not many Xiyi in the capital, and I, the police officer of the Nanya, knows their situation well; my humble post guarantees with my life, neither this person nor his subordinates have ever been to the capital."

After receiving a satisfactory answer from Zhang Xianqiu, Li Yuntang took two steps forward and promised the foreigner:
"As long as you do what I say, your relatives and friends will not be in any danger; on the contrary, you will also receive a large amount of money from me, money that can never be used up in your life;

To show my sincerity, I can first ask the best doctor in the capital to help your relatives and friends to check their illness..."

"What to do!"

Hearing the latter condition, Andrew's eyes lit up, and he rushed to speak before Li Yuntang finished speaking.

The latter had no expression on his face, and took another step forward in a calm manner, looked at the foreigner with a blank expression, and said unhurriedly:
"I want you to pretend to be an envoy of your country!"

 Going to sleep, good night everyone, I will be writing tomorrow in the author's words, thank you for the rewards and votes.
