Chapter 43 I am also a barbarian
When he woke up again, Thomas finally saw the appearance of the "robbers" in the light.
They are all yellow people.
It's the indigenous people!
"You damned barbarians, let me go! Lieutenant Colonel Louis and I are good friends. Several shareholders of this gold mine are nobles from Rio de Janeiro. Do you think that nothing will happen if you rob the gold? I tell you, you are dreaming!"
Thomas, who was tied up, kept shouting loudly in English and Portuguese, as if he was not worried about his safety at all.
In fact, he was not really worried.
He is British!
Perhaps the natives did not know how powerful Great Britain was, but the Brazilians did. Of course, they knew even more about how powerful Lieutenant Colonel Louis was, a guy who often went deep into the jungle, raided Indian tribes, and sold the entire tribe as slaves.
Now Thomas had noticed that these people were Indians.
He couldn't understand why an Indian would use gunpowder, and there was only one explanation: perhaps they were slaves who escaped from a mine.
But it doesn’t matter. Just let them know what and these cowardly Indians will understand what they should do!
Therefore, Thomas felt that he could use verbal threats to make the other party understand that robbing the gold mine would bring .
"Do you think you can take all the gold away after you rob the gold mine? Even if you rob all the gold in the safe, so what? When the generals in Rio de Janeiro know that their gold has been robbed, they will immediately send troops deep into the rain forest to look for you, you savages! Damn savages! You will lose everything for three thousand pounds of gold! They will search the entire rain forest."
What!
Three thousand pounds of gold!
Although the large safe caught Zhu Xianhai's attention, he was dumbfounded the moment he heard this sentence!
This... is this an unexpected gain?
3,000 pounds of gold!
How much would that be worth?
It must be about hundreds of thousands of pounds!
However, Zhu Xianhai was very angry when he kept calling him a "barbarian".
In 1860, these white people occupied the so-called "peak of civilization", made the rules of the game according to their wishes, and then called other races "barbarians". Even until the 21st century, the white people, led by the United States, are still formulating their so-called "world values". Those who follow their values are civilized people, and those who want to go their own way... well, are naturally barbarians!
But what did these so-called "civilized people" do?
Killing people and seizing land, doing all kinds of evil!
What they did in this gold mine, is that what civilized people do?
Although Zhu Xianhai sneered at these so-called "civilized people".
But we have to say that they do have the right to speak. While they are killing people, they are still talking about how civilized they are.
For people like this... we must fight back.
Didn't you call me a "barbarian"? I'll show you what real barbarism is.
"Brother Zhu, what is this guy talking about?"
Xiaowu, who couldn't understand English, asked.
"It looks like he has nothing good to say about us."
"What? You said we were barbarians!"
"Barbaric? Damn it, we men were treated like animals by them, and now they say we are barbaric. Fuck them..."
"Barbaric, what's wrong with barbaric?"
Without waiting for Dashan to take action, Zhu Xianhai sneered.
"I am a barbarian!"
They are barbarians, so we accept them!
Not only do I admit it, I will also "enter the customs" in the future!
"Xiaowu!"
"exist!"
"Hang this white guy up! Let him see what barbarians are like!"
Zhu Xianhai deliberately spoke in English.
Thomas was stunned for a moment. This guy actually knows English!
"okay!"
Hanging people and beating people up are things that Xiaowu and his men are good at. They did this a lot when they were the Taiping Rebellion and torturing the rich.
Thomas originally thought that he could scare the other party with a few words of "Great Britain", but he was dumbfounded just after he was hung up. Wow, these barbarians are really not afraid of death!
Seeing a barbarian picking up the whip to beat the slaves, and thinking of the sight of the skin and flesh being torn apart by the whip, Thomas instantly surrendered.
He is a businessman, not a hero.
Even if you are a hero, you can't withstand such a beating!
"Sir, sir, let's talk it over, we can talk, we can talk!"
As a businessman, Thomas immediately stated that he had never had any hostility towards the Indians.
Of course, the Indians in the mine were all purchased by his predecessor. It was all the evil done by those damn guys in Rio de Janeiro, and it had nothing to do with him.
Of course, the most important thing is gold, which can save his life.
"The gold is in the safe, sir. You can just take it. There's no need to hurt me!"
Gold is important, but life is more important. Maybe these robbers can steal the gold, but as long as the gold mine is there, it will be fine. The gold there is only half a year's output of the gold mine, but if life is lost, everything is over.
As a businessman, Thomas can definitely tell the difference between the heavy and the light.
"The combination, the key, sir, the combination. I have the combination and the key to the safe. All the gold is yours if you only spare me."
Listening to Baipi's plea, Zhu Xianhai sneered.
"If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?"
In one word, cheap!
These white people are used to being superior!
Even when faced with such a situation, deep down they still look down on those people they are used to oppressing, so they are still arrogant and domineering, but they forget that the situation is different now.
After handing over the key and password, Thomas took the initiative to open the heavy iron door of the safe. He glanced at the gold in the safe reluctantly and said.
"Sir, all this gold belongs to you. I hope you can fulfill your promise."
So much gold!
A cabinet full of golden bricks!
For a moment, Zhu Xianhai was almost distracted by the gold bricks, but Thomas' words brought him back to his senses.
"What did you say?"
"Sir, please don't joke around!"
Thomas said casually.
"You promised before that you would let me live."
"Oh, that's it!"
Zhu Xianhai nodded and said.
"But I regret it!"
"What? You can't go back on your word!"
Just as Thomas was about to argue, he saw the barbarian in front of him had raised his pistol. The black muzzle of the gun was pointed at his head. He immediately said in horror.
"Sir, you, you...you have to keep your word!"
As soon as the voice fell, a gunshot rang out!
Zhu Xianhai sneered.
"I am a barbarian!"
