Chapter Fourteen High and Low
Lao Pingto's face was not very good-looking.
Bishop of the Mirror, Canelo, looked bad.
Chen Mu sat in the middle of the municipal square, with his right thumb slowly passing by his cheek on the armrest of the chair, looking bad.
The flag troops standing around him were alert, and Haojing merchants gathered around the square, with Ming people and foreign barbarians mixed together. Adults raised their children above their heads. Many people came to see how Chen Mu would deal with the merchants who sold humans.
They were just visiting Chen Mu. It was not easy to meet first-rank officials of the court, not to mention that they often appeared in restaurants, mythological stories, and Chen Mu in temples when they fought overseas.
In order to interrogate this foreign businessman, Chen Mu waited in Haojing for a few days and called his aide Lao Pinto and Bishop Canelo.
The matter was not complicated. Chen Mushang received a letter from Huang Dexiang when he was in Nanyang Vail Port, doing silk trade in Haojing, and at the same time he cheated the people and put them in a cabin. When he left Haojing Port, the flag army checked the goods. After being discovered, he intended to resist with twenty-three sailors and was suppressed.
What made Chen Mu come here was not human trafficking, but because this person first claimed that he was a businessman from the Westerners after he was verified. The seal was sent by the church's bishop, Canelo.
He simply thought that Canelo might collude with the Spaniards, so he came over. However, after a questioning, he found that something else was hidden.
Although Canero was selected as the inducer, the actual selection of merchants was carried out by the church teachers. The owner of the ship was indeed a Portuguese in the registration of the church, but the owner was not the arrested Spaniard.
"General Chen, this person calls himself Portuguese, but it is not. Although he admits that he is a Spanish, it is not actually not."
Pinto's face was a little embarrassed, and the reason for the embarrassment was nothing else. He collected all the words in his mind, but he didn't know how to explain the person's origin to Chen Mu. After thinking for a long time, he said: "He was born in England. Before he went to sea, the King of England was still Philip, so he was Spanish."
"But Philip is no longer the king of England, but he doesn't know, because he has been out of the sea for many years."
Huang Dexiang, who was pressing the knife on the side, sneered at this. He didn't care which country he was from, or Chen Mu ordered to ask clearly and kill him.
The British, who thought that the Spanish disguised as Portuguese, was tied up by the flag army and knelt on the ground, screaming, saying that the speed was too fast, Chen Mu couldn't understand, which made Pinto's face even more ugly.
"He said you are cannibals, and someone told him that the Ming people used to eat people during wars."
Lao Pingtuo really didn't want to repost this sentence. Who is the person in front of him?
It's Chen Mu!
Chen Mu, who didn’t know how many people he killed!
Pinto did not wait for Chen Mu to speak, in order to calm his possible anger, first explained: "People think that inferior people can be sold and can do whatever they want like Columbus... He is a criminal, general, I suggest he be executed."
Chen Mu was not angry, and it was meaningless to get angry with the dead. He just nodded and frowned and confused, because in his understanding, Columbus was a great navigator, and he even sighed why Zheng He could not achieve extraordinary achievements like Columbus.
But Chen Mu heard Columbus' name in Pinto's mouth, which was obviously derogatory.
"Eat people during wars... they just eat God, what does it have to do with you!" Chen Mu only saw hypocrisy, and turned to Pinto and said, "Tell me about Columbus."
Bishop Canelo opened his mouth slightly and did not answer for a long time. Obviously, this question was too difficult. He paused before he could express Chen Mu's unexpected answer.
