Chapter 99 (7) Foreigners also petition

A strange ship suddenly appeared on the sea, and there were five people on board, all blond and blue-eyed, with yellow hair all over their bodies.When the boat arrived at Ningbo Port, it was stopped by the Qing army navy on the water and asked where the monster was on board.A foreigner said in awkward Chinese: A certain family name is Hong Renhui, and they are from English.The ship of a certain company is also an English merchant ship, and the name of the ship is clams... If you think the name of a certain company's ship is weird, there is a Karaphin behind it, which is so weird that it makes you cry.A certain family came here not for other things, but for business. A certain ship is full of silver dollars and foreign wine, and a certain family needs your lake silk and tea from Ningbo. Do you know?

The Ningbo magistrate hastily reported: His Majesty Qizuo, there are foreigners coming from overseas again, this time it is not a monster from Flangji or Hongmaoyi, but a place called Yingjili.Your Majesty, how can we handle this matter? Qianlong shook his head: Talking nonsense, foreign countries overseas, only Flangji and Hongmaoyi, where did English come from?This must be that Yang Yi is lying out of his mouth, and I will cross-examine him carefully.By the way, let me check carefully, is there anything illegal on that monster's boat? The magistrate went to investigate again and reported back: Your Majesty really knows the details, that monster Hong Renhui, the barbarians on their boat, did not have braids on their heads.

Emperor Qianlong was shocked: if there is no braid on the head, then they are rebellious... By the way, they were originally foreigners and barbarians who refused to accept Wanghua.Send them off quickly. So the local officials in Ningbo made a deal with Hong Renhui, and then Hong Renhui returned home happily, earned a vote, and then returned.When they came back this time, they were immediately expelled by the Zhejiang Navy. The last time they were sent away was just to save their worries. Who knew that this foreign devil came back again after tasting the sweetness. The Englishman Hong Renhui was also weird. The Chinese people drove him away. Instead of leaving, he drove a small seven-ton broken boat to ride the wind and waves.Fortunately, the Tianjin Navy was alert and stopped this guy on the sea.

Hong Renhui told Zhao Zhiying, a guerrilla from the Dagu camp who intercepted him, that there were twelve people in a certain family, three servants, and eight sailors.A certain family is a fourth-rank official in England and an important leader.Ask a certain family why they came here?You heard it, a certain family was doing business in Macau, Guangdong, and met your merchant Li Guanghua, who was a shameless guy, owed a certain family more than 50,000 taels of silver, and insisted on not paying it back.He also said that he would not pay back the foreign devil's money, and you would die if you had the ability. This is really shameful.So a certain family appealed to the Yasi, but the Yasi threw out the case of a certain family and made a certain family die.A certain family appealed to the governor's office, but was thrown out of the case again.Appealed to Haikou, Ningbo, but was also thrown out of the case.A certain family had no choice but to go to Beijing to appeal.

I see, it turns out that Hong Renhui, who is full of "some family", came to appeal. Qianlong hated the petitioner the most. It was lucky that the petitioner couldn't find him. The petitioner this time is actually a foreigner, which is simply unreasonable! Qianlong issued the highest instruction: This incident is by no means isolated, and it is by no means accidental. Behind the foreign devil Hong Renhui, there is a reactionary group targeting me, and I will find out this reactionary group! Having said that, Qianlong is super sensitive and extremely primitive. Even if a mosquito hums a few times three thousand kilometers away, he thinks it is a big conspiracy against him.Now that foreigners are actually petitioning, there is even more conspiracy. How could there be no conspiracy?

So the imperial envoy Li Shiyao arrived to hear the case of Hong Renhui's appeal. Li Shiyao asked: Old Hong, you leapfrogged to appeal and disrupted the stable and harmonious situation. Who was behind it? Hong Renhui: ...You judge, are you crazy?Didn’t a certain family say that the businessman Li Guanghua owed me fifty thousand taels of silver and didn’t pay it back, fifty thousand taels...is this matter still being teased by someone?This is a personal idea. Li Shiyao smiled: Old Hong, you are a foreigner who refuses to accept Wang Hua, how can you still speak the words of my celestial dynasty?

Hong Renhui said: A certain family said that if a certain family wants to do business and travel around the world, they must learn all languages. Li Shiyao was delighted: Who did you learn Chinese from? Hong Renhui: A certain family has one, which is the main learning textbook of a certain family, and a certain family is diligent in speaking and practicing, and those who are capable are teachers, and there is no special language teacher. Li Shiyao nodded: But when you go to appeal, you have to write the appeal materials. Did you write the materials yourself? Hong Renhui smiled and said: It was written by a certain family, but... a certain family was worried that the format of the official document was not correct, so they invited a Sichuan native named Liu Yabian to help correct a few typos...

Snapped!Li Shiyao slapped the gavel: Now the judge announces an adjournment. After retreating, Li Shiyao reported the news to Qianlong with a fast ride of 800 miles: "Report, Your Majesty, my humble ministers are not afraid of life and death, went deep into the tiger's den, and finally uncovered the reactionary clique of Hong Renhui, a foreigner."Your Majesty is indeed wise and powerful. Behind Hong Renhui, there is really a conspiracy group. The head of the group is called Liu Yabian.It was this person who corrected typos in Hong Renhui's appeal materials, which destroyed the stable and harmonious situation of our dynasty.

After Qianlong read it, he was overjoyed, and issued an order to behead Liu Yabian, and Hong Renhui, a foreigner, colluded with traitors in the mainland, illegally petitioned, and was expelled from the country. After getting this result, Hong Renhui was stunned: Is there a mistake... how can there be such a judgment in this case?This is just... ridiculous! There is no most absurd, only more absurd.Compared with the foreigner Hong Renhui's petitioning case, Ding Wenbin's unjust imprisonment is even more absurd.
