Hiding
It is often ordinary people who can spread rumors and believe rumors, but the most panicked are the powerful and wealthy businessmen, after the closure of the city, Shanhaiguan has been banned from entering and leaving, whether it is people or goods, are trapped in Shanhaiguan.
Almost all the magnates in the capital have shops and warehouses in Liaodong, especially Shanhaiguan, which is a transit station for goods.
The Wei family's warehouse is the largest, and the shopkeeper of the store is the Wei family's old family Lin Bo, who bought it together with Fu Bo's grandfather, and married after the year, Fu Bo's wife died early, leaving no son and a half daughter, but Lin Bo is not, a large group of children, and has already started a family.
The inn is still helped by Limber's two sons, and Limber goes to the warehouse every day to check the accounts, which is very leisurely.
The area of the warehouse itself is very large, especially recently the old man has changed his mind and monopolized the entire leather market in Liaodong, so the goods are now piled up.
Lin Bo went to the general soldier's mansion in the morning, he didn't see the master, the young master was busy, he didn't bother, he walked to the warehouse, the door of the warehouse was closed, this is also the right thing, the soldiers are in chaos, you must be careful everywhere.
This fur store is different from the shop, the shop is only responsible for selling, and the warehouse needs to be processed and made, and the skin is collected and nitrated, and the skin is cooked, so there is a smell of disgusting in the store.
Lin Bo is over sixty years old, has been in Liaodong for many years, and most of the time he has to run to the area of Duoyan Sanwei, so he is in good health, he came to the side door and stretched out his hand to knock on the door.
It took a while for the young man to bolt the pillar and open the door.
Lin Bo walked inside angrily: "Sleeping so dead? What about your two shopkeepers? “
The second and third shopkeepers of the Wei family warehouse are Lin Bo's eldest son and second son, Lin Zhongting and Lin Zhonghao's brothers, they are about the same age as Wei Jing, and they have played together since childhood.
The bolt hesitated a little, cowering and not speaking.
Limber stopped and looked back at him: "What's wrong?" ”
Lin Zhongting walked out of the back door of the store, this is a thin middle-aged man, who looks very similar to Lin Bo.
"Dad, are you here? Nothing happened, the kid slept and I kicked him twice. ”
"Oh" Limber disagreed, and continued to walk inside.
Lin Zhongting stopped him: "Dad, come and sit in the store, I have something to tell you." “
Lin Bo has been in business for many years, it can be described as an old treacherous and slippery, he glanced up and down at his son, a little suspicious, suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the smell of fur was mixed with blood.
Doing business on the grassland for many years, the herdsmen picked up the whip to herd the horses and sheep, and the knife was a robber.
Lin Bo squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Zhongting, Lin Zhongting had been afraid of him since he was a child, so he didn't dare to look at Lin Bo and dodged.
Lin Bo coldly pulled Lin Zhongting away and walked into the warehouse full of skin, but he was startled.
In the huge storeroom, there were three or four hundred big men squatting and sitting, and they knew that they were Tartars by looking at them, and when they saw Lin Bo breaking in, they looked at him in unison.
And Lin Bo's second son, Lin Zhonghao, was directing two men to stack the bodies of several guards and put them in the corner.
Lin Zhongting suddenly jumped in front of Lin Bo and shouted in a low voice: "Dad, listen to me!" “
Lin Bo clenched his fists, his green tendons were exposed, and he roared in his mouth: "Why? “
Lin Zhongting saw that his father's eyes were red, staring at him viciously, and he was so frightened that he took two steps back and was supported by Lin Zhonghao.
Lin Zhonghao has been favored since he was a child, and he is not very afraid of Lin Bo, he took a step forward and said with a smile: "No why, Dad, it is that my eldest brother and I don't want our children to be slaves anymore!" You sold it to the Wei family since you were a child, and as a result, we became family slaves! “
He became excited, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped: "Although my son is only seven years old, he is very good at reading, and even his husband praises him, saying that he is a Jinshi material, but Dad, have you thought about it, how can a child with a servile status be qualified to take the Xiucai examination and be admitted to the Jinshi?" No matter how well you read, when you grow up, you're just a shopkeeper! Look at the eldest brother's Xiu'er again, he is fourteen years old, and who in the neighborhood doesn't boast that he is a good boy, but who is the one who comes to ask for marriage? Stinky soldiers, foot peddlers! The only scholar who came to ask for a marriage turned out to be Xiu'er a concubine! Dad, we're not convinced! They all crawled out of their mother's belly, and no one lacks a nose or eyes than anyone! Why are we born to be subordinates, and he is a young master? When he was a child, he got into trouble, and they all pushed it to us, and we were beaten and starved, did he have any? Why, you ask? I'd like to ask Dad, why?! ”
Lin Zhongting's eyes were red on the side, and he stared at the ground.
Lin Bo was speechless for a while, sighed for a while, and said slowly: "Don't blame the master for this, blame me, the master was about to get rid of our family's slavery five years ago, and I refused because I was grateful for the old lady's life!" You're right, just because I repay the favor doesn't mean you have to repay the favor too, but..."
Two lines of old tears fell from Lin Bo's eyes: "What did you do?" You fornicate with the Tartars and betray the country for glory! You guys, have you thought about the consequences? If the matter is revealed, our whole family will die without a place to be buried! Even if it is not revealed, the Tartars enter the city, can we have it? What sex for Tartar..."
He stared at Lin Zhongting: "Boss, don't you know?" You have been out with me for so many years, don't you know if the Tartar has humanity? Even if your original intention is for the sake of your family, but from a slave to a slave of the Tartars, is this what you want? ”
The sweat on Lin Zhongting's forehead fell, and he suddenly trembled like chaff.
Lin Zhonghao shouted: "Dad, don't worry, we are the people of the court who listen to the order, the adults promised us, after breaking the customs, kill the father and son of Weijing, and the father and son of Weijing will die, and they will naturally get rid of my family's slavery, and the adults also promised to give us this warehouse without committing any offense against my family, Dad, such a condition, my eldest brother and I can't refuse, besides, it's just to hide people for two days, it's just a matter of raising our hands." “
Lin Bo laughed miserably: "I thought that worry-free food and clothing could make my family happy and happy, but I forgot, people's hearts are never satisfied, you grew up in the Wei family, you are well fed and clothed, and you still have books, but you have forgotten, without the Wei family, where are you now?" Your old man once almost froze to death in the ice and snow, the old lady saved me when I was dying, and spent money to bury my mother, married me a daughter-in-law, and gave birth to a bunch of children, how should I repay? You teach me, how can I repay it? “
Lin Zhongting lowered his head and did not speak, his face pale.
Lin Zhonghao pouted: "Dad, you have sold most of your life for the Wei family, and all debts have been paid off, is it possible that you owe the debt, and you still want your son and grandson to pay it back?" ”
Lin Bo's face was pale, he rounded his arms, and slapped Lin Zhonghao's face, the old man had a lot of strength, and beat Lin Zhonghao to a stagger, and spit out two teeth in his mouth, Lin Zhonghao screamed in mourning.
Lin Bo didn't look at him, and raised his head and said: "I'm sorry for the Wei family, I'm sorry for the old and young masters of Shanhaiguan, it's my ancestors who have no virtue and gave birth to two such things, telling you that your goal will never be achieved, but you, because of your own actions, have dug a grave for our whole family!" “
"No..."Lin Zhongting screamed sadly, and now he felt deep regret.
Lin Bo looked at the Tartars who were coming around, his face was not afraid, and he held his head high.
At this time, two people walked in the courtyard, waved their hands to stop the tartars, and looked at Limber with a slightly contemptuous smile.
Lin Bo was shocked and muttered, "You! You're not..."Before he finished speaking, his head hurt sharply, he turned around to look at Lin Zhonghao with a hideous face holding a stick, and fainted as soon as he rolled his eyes...
