I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 997 - Chapter 997 Accusation

Chapter 997: Accusation Chapter 997: Accusation Editor: Atlas Studios Zhou Zhou’s jaw dropped open and he staggered away.

When Great Qi sent troops to Luzon, the king of Luzon was so grateful that tears streamed down his face.

On the other hand, the Portuguese and Western countries were shocked and came to look for Qi Haoran overnight.

After being rejected, they turned around and went to protest to Fan Zijin.

Fan Zijin widened his eyes and looked at them.

“Luzon is a vassal state of Great Qi.

The refugees of your two countries have been reduced to pirates who have forcefully occupied the land of my vassal state.

It’s only because His Majesty is considerate of the fact that your countries are far away that he didn’t hold you accountable for your negligence.

Now, you’re actually protesting against the soldiers of my dynasty rescuing the citizens of our vassal state?

Could it be that those pirates are actually not refugees but soldiers of your two countries in disguise?” The two of them shook their heads vigorously and explained carefully that Luzon had offended the explorers of their country.

They were just seeking justice and hoped that Great Qi would let them resolve it themselves and not interfere.

Fan Zijin felt that his skin was thick enough, and was surprised to see that these two envoys were even more shameless than him.

However, he liked it.

Since this was the case, he did not feel pressured no matter what methods he used to deal with such people.

Fan Zijin looked at them with a faint smile as he said, “Although Luzon is only a vassal state of Great Qi, Great Qi has taught the teachings of sages to its people.

Therefore, the people of Luzon also understand the words of the saints.

Even if they have any misunderstandings with the explorers of your country, it’s mostly because of the language barrier.

This responsibility is 50/50.

However, it’s too much for your country’s explorers to commit arson, and kill and rob the people of Luzon because of a small misunderstanding.

If you hadn’t sworn that they were explorers and not pirates, Great Qi would have wiped them out as pirates.” Seeing the other party’s ugly expressions, Fan Zijin softened his tone and said, “Even if your country’s explorers suffered some grievances when they disembarked, it’s understandable.

After all, since your country’s citizens look different from the locals and disembarked without permission, you can’t blame the people of Luzon for being overly vigilant.

You can complain to the Luzon King.

How about this?

I’m willing to be the middleman and broker peace between the two parties.

How about that?

Otherwise, if you continue to use force, both sides will be injured.

In the end, I’m afraid both sides will suffer.” The envoys from Portugal and Spain smiled stiffly and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble Magistrate Fan.

However, because our explorers have always been unruly, we still have to ask for their opinion.

Why don’t you command your troops to halt for a while and wait for us to get the news before discussing?” Fan Zijin nodded with a smile.

“Sure, sure.

I’ll wait for your good news then.” After Yanmo sent them out, Little Treasure and Little Bear ran out from behind the screen.

Little Bear asked anxiously, “Second Uncle, do we really have to wait for their news?

What if they keep delaying?” “It’s considered an improvement to be able to think of this.” Fan Zijin stroked his head and turned to ask Little Treasure, “What do you think?” Grinning, Little Treasure said, “Second Uncle is cunning.

I’m guessing you only agreed on the surface.

Meanwhile, we’ll continue to do whatever we have to do.

Those Westerners may drag it out, but our people are in Luzon and can disobey military orders since they’re outside.

Didn’t the Portuguese and Western countries fail to stop their explorers, too?” Fan Zijin laughed and nodded.

“That’s right.

That’s why right now, I’ve collapsed from exhaustion.

I’ve been working continuously for a month, traveling from Guangzhou to the capital, and from the capital to Guangzhou.

Not so surprising that I fainted from exhaustion, ehh?” The two children pursed their lips and smiled.

Seeing that they were still standing there foolishly, Fan Zijin smacked each of them and glared at them.

“I already said that I fainted.

Hurry up and get a doctor.

Little Bear, stay here and attend to my illness.

Zhou Zhou and the rest have probably reached Luzon, and didn’t receive our orders to retreat.

It’s normal for them to lose contact with us after entering Luzon.” Seeing that he was talking nonsense with a straight face, Little Treasure grimaced and pulled Little Bear out to look for a doctor.

At this moment, the four children were standing in front of the Foreigners’ Chamber of Commerce to stop Joao and Jose.

They snapped at them angrily, “Your country’s people are evil.

They actually invaded Luzon and killed many children and elders.” Joao looked a little embarrassed.

He had wanted to look for Little Treasure to intercede on behalf of their country’s explorers, hoping that they would not send troops to interfere in Luzon’s matters.

Nonetheless, it was embarrassing to be stopped by four children and accused of being bad people and invaders.

Since young, the two brothers had been inculcated with the idea that a territory belonged to whoever discovered it.

On the voyage, as long as they discovered an unmarked land, the ownership of that continent would go to their country.

The person who discovered the territory would then obtain the highest honor because of this.

No one had ever told them how to deal with the original residents of that place.

They felt that it was their honor for those locals to become citizens of their Empire, but right now, their new friends were accusing them of killing and invading.

Also, those locals did not in fact want to become citizens of their Empire.

Joao was older and thought more, so he was too embarrassed to speak for a moment.

However, Jose clenched his fists and shouted, “That’s because they don’t know what’s good for them.” “Then you people, too, don’t know what’s good for you.

Can I also lead troops to your country to kill your people and snatch your belongings?” Little An reprimanded him.

“This is the logic of a bandit.

You’re bandits.

Don’t think that we don’t know that Pedro, the biggest pirate floating at sea, is the earl of your country.

How shameless of him to come to our country to be a pirate.

If he has the ability, he should go and rob his own people.” Having inherited his father’s eloquence and sharp tongue, Little An’s words made their faces turn crimson.

Jose shouted angrily, “He’s not a pirate!

He’s an explorer, a great explorer.” Little Lion retorted, “So he’s an explorer.

Then let’s go to your country to be explorers, too.

I’ll snatch your things and kill your people as well.” “Our continent has already developed a civilization and is no longer an undiscovered continent.

You can’t be an explorer in our territory.” Little An sneered.

“Doesn’t our Great Qi have a civilization, too?

Our Great Qi’s civilization is in fact far more developed than yours.

That didn’t stop you people from robbing and killing our citizens, did it?

A bad person is a bad person.

There’s no need to twist words.” Jose pointed at him angrily.

“You’re not allowed to slander me and insult my country.” Tiger Head and the Second Prince listened anxiously at the side.

Seeing Jose reach out to point at Little An, he was so angry that he grabbed his finger and twisted it fiercely.

He shouted, “How dare you bully my brother?

I’ll beat you to death!” Jose could hear a crack as his finger was being twisted.

Feeling that he would definitely die from the pain, he could not help but scream.

When the Second Prince saw Tiger Head making a move, he couldn’t hold it in anymore.

He stretched out his leg and kicked Jose’s calf.

He remembered the fighting techniques that Little Lion had taught him.

Every time he kicked, he would strike the spot where it hurt the most.

Jose screamed even more miserably.

Shocked, Joao hurriedly rushed forward to pull Tiger Head away.

Seeing that he was coming aggressively, Little Lion took a step forward to stop him.

“What are you trying to do?

You want to hit us just because you can’t win?

Barbarians are indeed barbarians.

We shouldn’t have agreed to be friends with you.

Joao, we won’t be friends with you anymore.

We want to cut ties with you!” As Little Lion spoke in a quick and furious tone, Joao didn’t understand much.

He only felt that his brother’s screams were too miserable.

Seeing that Little Lion and Little An were blocking him, he reached out to push them away, causing Little Lion to retreat two steps while Little An fell sitting on the ground.

This was undoubtedly the signal to start fighting.

Tiger Head was originally only twisting Jose’s finger, but when he saw Little An being pushed to the ground, he was instantly enraged.

He did not show any mercy and directly stretched out his leg to kick Jose’s calf.

Jose, who had been kicked by the Second Prince all this time, only let out a miserable cry and fell to one knee, his face contorted in pain.

Tiger Head bent the person’s arm back with a grappling technique, hammered him heavily twice, before turning to deal with Joao.

The infuriated Little Lion was fighting with Joao.

In his opinion, Tiger Head was already being polite by only twisting Jose’s finger when the fellow had pointed a finger at Little An.

When he stopped Joao, he hadn’t the intention to attack and still tried to reason with them verbally.

But seeing that Joao actually attacked directly and even pushed Brother Little An to the ground, he couldn’t take it anymore and both sides broke into a fight.
