Volume 1 Chapter 14 Xiucai Meets Bing

This Li Jianjiang and Li Jianlin brothers are really unlucky, originally they were backed by the Li family in Quanzhou and had a great-grandfather who was a deputy of the Chongwu Institute, not to mention the rich and expensive, it should be no problem to mix food and clothing.

It's a pity that the Li family in Quanzhou is not a family of eunuchs, and their great-grandfather is not a hereditary thousand or hundreds of households, but is promoted by military merits, that is to say, after the death of their great-grandfather, their family has become an ordinary military household again, and they can only live by farming.

Originally, their family still had a lot of tuntian, and a deputy thousand households who had been promoted by military merits could divide hundreds of acres of tuntian even if they were not greedy or occupied, and it would not be a problem to feed the family.

It's a pity that their family is not the only one, their grandparents have three brothers, and their father's generation has as many as six or seven brothers, so that once it is diluted, in their hands, there will be more than ten acres of tuntian.

Of course, more than ten acres of land is not unable to support the two brothers, as long as they do not encounter any natural and man-made disasters, they can barely survive on these more than ten acres of land.

Sometimes fate plays tricks on people like this, they didn't encounter any natural disasters, and the thousands and hundreds of households in the health center also didn't oppress them much in the face of their great-grandfather, but unfortunately, their parents got seriously ill one after another, and they were sick for more than ten years, and they died of illness one after another.

Now, they really can't live their lives, because their parents owe a huge debt of more than 100 taels, and they can't pay it off, so they can only use the land to pay off the debt.

But when the land is repaid, what will they eat?

They were forced to have no choice but to "pay their debts".

The squire Ai Wannian's accounts were not so easy to rely on, and as soon as the two brothers "repaid the debts", he organized more than a dozen tenants and forcibly collected debts.

The two sides fought like this, and the brothers Li Jianjiang and Li Jianlin were not so easy to bully, there were more than ten cousins in their generation alone, plus the help of his grandfather, more than ten tenants organized by the squire Ai Wannian were all beaten down by them.

In fact, they also know that this is not a way, once they alarm the Yongning Wei Zhenfu Division, they will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, but they have no other way, as soon as this land is settled, they can only go to others as tenants, or even become homeless.

They could only wait tremblingly, waiting for the people of Yongning Wei Zhenfu to clean them up.

On this morning, before the hour arrived, the silence of the countryside was broken by the sound of horses' hooves, and three fast horses and a carriage came from the direction of Fucheng and went straight to the courtyard where Li Jianjiang and Li Jianlin's brothers lived.

This posture, could it be that the government is coming to arrest people?

The two brothers are not very afraid, they are not ordinary people, but military households with kung fu, the government is a dish in front of them, and they are not subject to local jurisdiction, even if they commit a crime, they are in charge of the people of the pacification department, and they are not afraid of it.

This is at the junction of Quanzhou Fucheng and Chongwuwei, the military households are still relatively concentrated, and there is no need for their two brothers to greet them, their cousins and cousins and some familiar military households are quickly gathered in his yard, a big fight, it seems that it is going to start fighting again.

When it comes to fighting, these military households are not cowardly, these days, if you don't fight with others, are you embarrassed to say that you are from a military household?

Speaking of fighting, Yu Dayou and Deng Cheng, the children of these officers, were even more unintimidating, and when they saw this battle, Yu Dayou and Deng Cheng's faces even showed faint expressions of excitement.

It's a pity that they didn't come to fight, but to make peace, and they could only press the urge to fight and slowly strangled their mounts.

Brothers Li Jianjiang and Li Jianlin don't know what these people are here for, this Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng, Tang Kekuan, and even Peng Fu are not good at first glance, and these two brothers are a little drumming when they see it.

However, there are more than ten strong men around them, and there are only four fierce men on the opposite side, they are not so intimidated that they dare not make a move, Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan just dismounted at the gate of the courtyard, Li Jianjiang stepped forward and shouted: "Who are you, what are you doing here?" ”

Unexpectedly, Yu Dayou and the three of them ignored him at all, but the curtain of the carriage was lifted at once, and a sturdy old man jumped out with a whizz, and said with a helpless wry smile: "Jianjiang, what are you doing?" ”

Li Jianjiang took a look at it, and was immediately stunned: "Third uncle, why are you here?" ”

Of course, Li Liangqin is not their third uncle, he is just the third in his own family, so the children of the Li family in Quanzhou generally call him the third uncle.

He is a famous contemporary master of the Li family in Quanzhou, and there are really few Li children who don't know him.

Li Liangqin nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Everyone disperse, we are here to help Jianjiang and Jianlin pay off their debts, not to fight, there is no need for so many people." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately obediently retired, but Li Jianjiang and Li Jianlin brothers surrounded Li Liangqin and said excitedly: "Third uncle, third uncle, are you really here to repay our debts?" ”

Li Liangqin shook his head and sighed, then pulled out Yang Cong behind him and introduced him to the two brothers, who were naturally grateful to this rich kid who helped them pay off their debts.

Yang Cong didn't bother to talk to them, so everyone discussed a few words and rushed to the township together, and came to the gate of the squire Ai Wannian's house.

Ai Wannian was already alarmed by their battle, and before the group arrived, he gathered all the young men of all the tenant families, but some of these tenants were injured, and their eyes were full of fear, they were afraid of these military households.

Ai Wannian hid behind and observed for a while, and saw that these people didn't look like they were here to fight, so he came out from behind the pile of people and asked worriedly, "Who are you guys, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Liangqin was not ambiguous, and directly stepped forward and said: "Old man Nan'an Li Liangqin, today I specially came to repay the debts for these two unfortunate nephews, how much silver they owe, you can report the number." ”

Ai Wannian naturally heard of this famous master of the Li family in Quanzhou, he secretly looked at it, and found that this old guy was stronger than ordinary people, and it was not as terrible as the legend, and he suddenly let go of most of his heart.

Pay off the debt, okay!

He arched his hand with a fake meaning, and then said seriously: "It turned out to be the elder of the Li family, and he has admired it for a long time, and the Li brothers' family owes me a total of three hundred and seventeen taels of silver with interest." ”

How did this more than 100 taels become more than 300 taels, Li Jianjiang heard this, stepped forward and pointed at him and shouted angrily: "You are talking nonsense, our family only borrowed a total of 140 taels from you." ”

When Ai Wannian heard this, he said coldly: "What nonsense, do you borrow money without interest, but you owe me more than ten years and have not repaid it, in black and white, three hundred and seventeen taels, not a single cent." ”

More than three hundred taels is actually nothing to Yang Cong, but he can't be this wronged boss, what are you kidding, borrow one hundred and forty taels, and pay back three hundred and seventeen taels, why don't you grab it?

He couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Ai Lao, this interest is a bit too high, otherwise, even the principal and interest, count two hundred taels, what do you think?" ”

Ai Wannian glanced him up and down, and asked curiously: "Are you?" ”

Yang Cong learned from Li Liangqin's appearance, and introduced him: "No, Hui'an Yang Cong." ”

Hui'an Yang Cong, which kind of Cong are you?

As soon as Ai Wannian heard that he reported this inexplicable name, his face suddenly showed disdain, Hui'an was next door to Zhangban, he naturally knew what kind of squire he had, and even the more famous Xiucai He knew that Yang Cong was obviously not among them.

Seeing this, Yang Cong said embarrassedly: "Yang Rong, the ancestor of Nanjing Guanglu Temple." ”

Oh, it's you, a loser.

Ai Wannian pursed his lips secretly, and then he pretended to bow his hand and said: "It turned out to be Yang Gongzi, disrespectful and disrespectful, since Yang Gongzi came forward, then okay, I will give you face, count three hundred and ten taels." ”

Nima, there are seven taels less, and he refuses to get rid of even a fraction.

Yang Cong knew that he didn't have much face, but this Ai Wannian was too faceless, and he couldn't help but secretly glance at Li Liangqin, meaning that you are an old man, scold him!

Li Liangqin was also a little annoyed, and he said coldly with an angry face: "Ai Lao, we are sincere in repaying the debt, if you calculate the interest like this, we really can't pay it back." ”

A hint of panic obviously flashed in Ai Wannian's eyes, but soon, he gritted his teeth and said: "Elder Li, I know that I am not your Li family's opponent in terms of fighting, but don't forget, the Ming Dynasty is about the king's law." ”

When Li Liangqin heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, what he said, that's right, he is not an outlaw, is he really beating Ai Wannian for this matter, he is really a little unable to do it, besides, is it useful to beat others?

Seeing this, Yang Cong couldn't help frowning, he really didn't expect this Ai Wannian's courage to be so fat, and he was not stunned when he saw a number of masters in Quanzhou, it seems that he was wrong, this Li Liangqin's name doesn't seem to be very good!

What should I do, do you really deserve to be wronged and give three hundred and ten taels of silver?

He was hesitating there, Deng Cheng suddenly stepped forward and pointed at Ai Wannian and scolded: "Sani Nai, you owe a beating, right?" ”

Ai Wannian's face changed when he was frightened by Deng Cheng's posture, but he still gritted his teeth and said stiffly: "Do you really think that you can be lawless with brute force?" ”

Deng Cheng didn't eat this, he directly took out a palm-sized brand from his arms, patted Ai Wannian's face, and then said viciously: "I was originally reasonable, but you humiliated me with a show of talent, today, I will beat you, what can you do?" ”

Ai Wannian's face was painful, and he subconsciously reached out and grabbed the sign in Deng Cheng's hand and was about to be angry, but when he saw the words on the brand, he was stunned.

Hungry obediently, "Yongning Wei Chongwu hereditary hundred households Deng Cheng"!

This guy is not a full-time 100 households, he knows, if there is a 100 households in the middle of the 100 households, there will be no hereditary two words, but, it is not a 100 households that is terrible, and the 100 households generally dare not conflict with them, these squires, because people are afraid that others will take the opportunity to take their positions, this hereditary 100 households is different, they have no errands to do anyway, and the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water!

These hereditary hundreds of households and thousands of households are basically lawless lords, and if they provoke them, they can beat you so that you can't take care of yourself, what's wrong with beating you, you go to sue, isn't it just, accompany you to pull it enough, and then beat you after it's over.

Xiucai met the soldiers, the reason is not clear, the old Xiucai encountered the hereditary hundred households of this kind of hob meat, there is no place to reason, people really want to get along with you, just find a stubble can beat you, anyway, in the end, it is a skin, as long as people can say a reason, beating you is a white beating.

Who the hell has nothing to look for, Ai Wannian finally coaxed, he could only "helplessly" accept two hundred taels of silver, and then honestly ran to the government to withdraw the case, and a troublesome case was so magically closed.
