Chapter 30: Full of Loopholes (Ask for Investment!) Ask for recommendations! )
After the autumn harvest, a certain village near the mountains ushered in a cross-dressed boy, the boy did not stay in the village for long, just asked where there were big families and left, running faster than a horse, everyone in the village said that he was an extraordinary person.
This cross-dressing teenager is Fang Nan who left Qingshan Village for the first time and came to the outside world, Fang Nan did not wear the clothes he usually wore, after all, he was going to trade with large households, and a good dress was a must, if he only wore the clothes of ordinary people, he would only be looked down upon by large families and cause a lot of trouble.
However, Fang Nan didn't have the luxurious clothes of this era, and there were no in Qingshan Village, so Fang Nan could only take out a few clothes from the clothes he wore in his previous life in his carry-on space and let Hu Xiaoya cut them and put them on.
The clothes of the modern world are now fancy clothes, which are much better than the clothes of ordinary people, Fang Nan incarnated as a cross-dressed teenager, and came to the outside world under the guidance of the two hunters in Qingshanzhai.
Fang Nan did not let the two hunters go out of the mountain together, but waited in the mountain forest, acting alone, even if there was an accident, he would be able to get out of the way, if the two hunters acted together, once there was an accident, Fang Nan could not guarantee that the two hunters would be able to get out smoothly.
From the farmer's mouth in the village, I learned that in the area where the nearby large families are located, about ten miles away from the village, there is a large family surnamed Lu with 10,000 acres of fertile land.
10,000 acres of fertile land, this value is very high, the highest 10,000 acres of fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River is 20 or 30 taels of silver, in Guangdong, one mu of fertile land is about 10,000 taels of silver, 10,000 acres of fertile land is 100,000 taels of silver, this large family surnamed Lu is considered to have rich assets.
Fang Nan didn't ask whether this big family surnamed Lu was good or evil, in this era, the vast majority of landlords in order to obtain land, there are very few people who can not do evil, even if the landlord himself does not do it himself, the landlord's subordinates will take the initiative to do it.
Fang Nan's trip is just to exchange "treasures" for paper, ink, pen, inkstone and silver, if the transaction can be carried out smoothly, then it is the best, if the transaction partner sees that Fang Nan's strength is thin and wants to rob it, then Fang Nan does not mind using force to make this transaction go smoothly.
Nearly two quarters of an hour later, Fang Nan came to a manor surrounded by at least one zhang high brick wall, which should be the manor of the big family surnamed Lu that the farmer said, and there were five guards with knives guarding the gate at the gate of the manor.
Huizhou Prefecture was originally a high-incidence area of peasant uprisings in Guangdong, and the landlords living outside the country would basically build their estates into strong fortresses, and there were a large number of guards to protect them.
The landlords, however, seldom thought that if they could treat the peasants better, there would be no peasant households willing to rebel in their own area, and it would not matter if the landlords hired fewer guards.
However, most of the landlords would rather spend more money on hiring guards than be kind to the peasants, constantly oppressing and exploiting the peasants, and the peasants who could not survive could only flee elsewhere or rebel.
Fang Nan walked into the manor gate area, the guard at the gate saw that Fang Nan, a young man in cross-dress, was here, and the guard in the lead took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and waved at Fang Nan and said, "Boy, what are you doing here?" This is Lu Yuanwai's manor, and idlers should not approach. ”
"Is Lu Yuan outside the manor? I have treasures to sell him. Fang Nan replied.
Hearing Fang Nan's words, the head of the guard did not drive Fang Nan away nor sent someone to report the matter, but said to Fang Nan: "What treasures, take them out first, but not everything can enter the eyes of my master." ”
Fang Nan indifferently took out an aqua blue "gem" that was crystal clear in the sunlight from his pocket, and others could feel that this gem was not ordinary at the first glance.
The leader of the guards looked at the gem with a hint of greed flashing in his eyes, but he quickly put this greed away, if it was only himself, he wouldn't mind snatching the gem, now at the gate of the manor, there are other people, this gem will eventually fall into the hands of the master, and it is useless for him to rob it now.
"Good treasure, boy, you wait here, I'll go and tell my master." After the leader of the guards said a word, he turned and walked towards the manor, and when he walked to the other guards, the leader of the guards whispered again: "You guys watch that kid, don't let him run." ”
The other four guards nodded slightly, indicating understanding.
Although the voice of the guard leader was small, Fang Nan was not an ordinary person, his ear power was extraordinary, he could hear the words clearly, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of ridicule.
Fang Nan felt that this time the transaction would not be too smooth, and he would have to move his hands and feet when the time came.
Soon, the head of the guard came back, and he said to Fang Nan: "Boy, my lord is invited, come in with me, don't look at random after entering the manor, there are some things that your eyes can't see." ”
"Got it." Fang Nan replied indifferently.
The Lu manor is very large, and it is expected that hundreds of people will live in it, and when you enter from the main entrance, everything you see is in line with the identity of a large family, but there is no leakage of wealth such as gold and jade.
In the living room of the Lu manor, Fang Nan saw Lu Yuanwai, the owner of the Lu manor, and looked at Lu Yuanwai's appearance, he should be about fifty years old, his body was a little fat, and he was always smiling, like a good man, but Fang Nan would not identify Lu Yuanwai as a person based on what he saw in front of him.
In the living room, there is not only Lu Yuanwai, but also a butler, two maids, and two majestic and powerful guards, even if it is just a teenager coming, Lu Yuanwai is not completely relieved, and there must be two guards to follow him to prevent accidents.
"Little brother, if you have any treasures, take them out and I will appreciate them, if they fall into my eyes, they will definitely buy them at a high price." Lu Yuanwai said to Fang Nan with a smile.
"Here, can you see how much my treasure is worth?" Fang Nan said as he took out the gem and put it in the hands of a maid, who carefully held the gem and brought it to Lu Yuanwai.
Seeing the gem, Lu Yuanwai's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart: "What a beautiful gem." ”
Lu Yuanwai carefully picked up the gem and sent it to his eyes to look at it, and then the housekeeper moved.
"Master, I have an impression of this gem, it seems to be a gift from Zhao Yuan last time, you don't have time to look at it, you put it away casually, why does this gem appear here?" The next moment, the housekeeper said angrily to Fang Nan: "Say, did you steal this gem?" ”
As soon as the butler's words fell, the little leader of the guards in the living room and the other two guards all looked at Fang Nan viciously, as if they were about to pounce and arrest Fang Nan.
The butler's words were full of loopholes, and everyone in the living room could hear it, but no one refuted it, and they all took it as if it were true. ”
Hearing Lu Yuanwai's words, the three guards were about to make a move, but they saw the cross-dressed young man who was almost surrounded by them and smiled.
"You're so greedy, it looks like I'm going to have to do it myself."
