Chapter 961 Can’t speak Chinese?
Xiao Peng couldn't help but sigh that Ismail and his men were so careless: those people and cars suspected of smuggling cultural relics were parked there and they didn't care at all. It seemed like: If you want to leave, just leave, and just leave your things behind.
It seems that Ismail and the others are not as innocent as they say.
But he was not interested in this matter. What he was interested in was who was pretending to be a Chinese.
He followed a few soldiers out and came to the cars: "Get down!"
Xiao Peng always wore sunglasses, and he was tanned at sea. His skin color could easily make people mistake him for a local Berber. In addition, he drove a car with the UN logo, which made people mistake him for a local working for the United Nations.
Seeing Xiao Peng coming over, a group of people got out of the car together. There were eight people in total, five men and three women. Among them, there were two yellow people and the rest were white. The two yellow people should be the ones that Ismail and the others mentioned who pretended to be Chinese.
"Sir!" Seeing Xiao Peng and Ismail approaching, a young white man got out of the driveway. "There must be some misunderstanding here! We are students from the University of Paris X. We want to protest these soldiers' rough treatment of us!"
Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "I'm not a superior, and what's going on between you has nothing to do with me. I just heard that there are people here who are Chinese?"
The young white man was stunned after hearing this, and turned around and shouted: "Xiao, Zhu, I'm looking for you!"
Xiao Peng thought he was being called, but he quickly came to his senses: one of the two had the same last name as him, and the connection between the two was quite interesting, 'Pig'?
Hearing the white youth's words, Xiao and Zhu came over. Xiao Peng didn't know who they were. "Sir, what's going on?"
Xiao Peng waved his hand again: "Don't call me sir. The soldiers here said someone was pretending to be Chinese, so they asked me to help confirm it! Are you Chinese?"
"Who said we were pretending to be Chinese?" Both of them became anxious after hearing this.
Xiao Peng switched to Chinese and said, "So you are all Chinese? Then where are you from?"
As a result, both of them looked confused, they didn’t understand Chinese at all!
Xiao Peng looked helpless: "You don't even understand Chinese, yet you say you are Chinese?"
"Okay, I admit I'm not Chinese!" said a yellow man, then pointed at another yellow man next to him and said, "He is a real Chinese."
"A Chinese who can't speak Chinese?" Xiao Peng said disdainfully.
At this time, Ismail came over and handed a few small notebooks to Xiao Peng. Xiao Peng looked at them and frowned: "So these are their passports! No wonder these people are staying here. It turns out that these people are not worried about not being able to get their things back, but because their passports were confiscated by Ismail and his men!"
Very good, this is the law enforcement style of an African boy.
Don't assume the people here are friendly. Someone jokingly said it wasn't a trip to Africa until you've been pointed at by an AK. Moroccan Ambassador Chen also arranged a UN car for Xiao Peng to save him trouble.
Xiao Peng took the passport and glanced at it, feeling extremely helpless. "Ismail, please give it to me as soon as possible! Doesn't it say they are Koreans?"
After hearing this, Ismail and the others looked embarrassed: "We can't read..."
“…” Xiao Peng really didn’t know what to say.
It's not uncommon to encounter illiterate people here, given that half the country is illiterate. But you, the soldier in charge of the checkpoint, can't read either? Or all four of you? You're awesome.
Xiao Peng held up the passport and asked, "You two are Koreans, why are you pretending to be Chinese?"
One of them quickly said, "Sir, my Chinese surname is Xiao! How can there be a person with the surname Xiao in Goryeo? My ancestors are indeed Chinese! I just became a Goryeo citizen now."
Xiao Peng frowned. "That's not right! I just happened to read your country's Civil Affairs Bureau report from last year. According to last year's statistics from the Goryeo Civil Affairs Bureau, there are a total of 269 surnames in Goryeo, and there's no surname of Xiao."
Goryeo also has a Civil Affairs Bureau that compiles national data on a regular basis.
Unlike the Chinese, who imagine only a few prominent surnames like "Kim, Lee, Park, Choi, Jeong, Kang, Cho, and Yoon," Goryeo actually had many surnames. It's just that the vast majority of them were rare, so rare that even the Goryeo people themselves found them strange. For example, there's only one person in the entire country with the surname "Chu"!
One of these two people has the surname "Zhu". Although this surname is not as rare as "Chu", there are no more than 150 people with this surname in all of Goryeo.
But someone with the surname Xiao? Xiao Peng was sure there wasn't one!
Why is he concerned about this matter?
Because at that time, the Koreans were trying to create rumors online saying that the "salvage king" Xiao Peng was Korean! This made Xiao Peng very angry!
This is the character of Koreans. They say everything is theirs, even a pile of shit!
This is really not an insult to them. When fossilized ape feces were discovered in Xintai City, Tai'an, China, people in South Korea were the first to claim that it was theirs - they really didn't even let go of the poop!
At that time, they said that Xiao Peng's ancestors were Koreans. Xiao Peng was so angry that he argued with them. He then checked the data of the Korean Civil Affairs Bureau. There were a total of 269 surnames there, and there was no one with the surname Xiao!
I have to say that the characteristics of Koreans are similar to those of Chinese online rumormongers: they start with a picture and then make up the entire story! They can spread rumors with just their mouths, but they have to work hard to refute them!
The one with the surname Xiao said hurriedly: "Our family has just joined the Goryeo nationality, but our ancestors are indeed Chinese! My father told me that we are descendants of Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan!"
Xiao Peng nearly cursed after hearing this. "You guys are really good at making up stories: Emperor Wu of Liang lived over 1,500 years ago! You're really trying to pin the blame on yourself! And you're a descendant of Xiao Yan? Why don't you just say you're a descendant of Xiao He of the Western Han Dynasty? Or maybe just say you're a descendant of Meng Kui from the time of Emperor Yu of Xia!" (P.S. During the Xia Dynasty, Meng Kui, the grandson of Boyi, established the State of Xiao and took the state as his surname. His descendants have the surname Xiao.)
Xiao Peng said, "Alright, even if you are Chinese, foreigners don't think so. They only look at your nationality. In their eyes, you are now Korean. You are suspected of forging identities and smuggling cultural relics. I personally suggest that you contact your country's ambassador."
After hearing what Xiao Peng said, all the young people became anxious and started talking.
"Damn it, I'm talking about this mask!"
"Zhu, this is your fault, you should deal with him right away!"
"Sir, this matter has nothing to do with us, it's all their fault!"
"No, I need to contact the ambassador!"
"We're not sure what the outcome will be until the ambassador arrives!"
The white young man who had greeted Xiao Peng at the beginning stood up and said, "Sir, they are the ones who caused this. Can you help us and let them handle this? We just want to get on the road again!"
After hearing his words, Zhu became anxious: "Reno! What are you talking about?"
