Chapter 83: The Vortex

That night, Xu Tian and the three returned to the inn. Xu Tian was locked in the room by himself, and he needed to think about it.

Yu Fei and the others didn't go to disturb them, but they were suspicious. I don't know what's going on.

In the secret room of Qian Biao's room, Xu Tian saw a mountain of wooden tablets. It was all ledgers, the details of the mortgaged farmland of several villages around Xiangyang City. The magnitude of his work is appalling.

He didn't know who was behind all this, and Xu Tian regretted it a little. You shouldn't chase it down, it's likely to lead to death.

At first, he just thought that Yao Changfeng guessed his identity. I know that I am in a hurry to settle down and want to use myself to make money.

Now, I will be faced with a choice. Whether to get out as soon as possible, or to wade into this troubled water. And maybe it's too late!

The knock on the door interrupted Xu Tian's thoughts, and Yu Fei finally didn't hold back the doubts in his heart. After hesitating in front of the door for a long time, he knocked on the door.

After entering the house, Yu Fei looked at Xu Tian, who was frowning. Except for the previous affairs of the Wang family, Yu Fei had never seen Xu Tian so dignified.

So he asked in a low voice.

"Brother, what the hell is going on? What did that Qian Biao take you for? ”

said the doubts in his heart in one breath, and Yu Fei fell silent. Wait for Xu Tian's answer.

"Big brother still remembers Uncle Lu's sealed paperwork, can you still remember the fifth and last articles on the paperwork?"

After a moment, Xu Tian slowly spoke.

Yu Fei frowned and thought for a moment, and spoke with some uncertainty.

"The fifth, as if to say. The interest on the borrowed money and grain is 1/10, and in the end. I remember clearly that it was said that if it was due, it could not be repaid on time. Just borrow again, the interest is the same!! ”

Speaking of which, Yu Fei thought about it.

"There's nothing wrong with that, I think it's pretty good."

Xu Tian sighed secretly and looked at Yu Fei.

"Those who are willing to go are just as you think, one out of ten. Everyone naturally thinks that it is the principal of the loan, but in fact, it is the crops that grow on the farmland that is mortgaged!! ”

"What did you say?!"

Yu Feimeng stood up.

"And then there's the last one, borrowing again. The interest is the same as above, and people think that it is just an extra percent. In fact, it was also stolen to change the concept, which was doubled!! ”

Xu Tian shook his head.

"Then the common people are stupid to be fooled? Didn't anyone find out? It's obvious! ”

"Yes, you can find out when it's due. But who can exit in time? This will be distressed and reluctant after the money and food in their own hands. Those that grow in the ground and have not yet been planted are just concepts.

So many people know that this is a big hole, and they are willing to continue to borrow under their temptation. They would rather hold on to what they have than save what they have not yet gained. That's where these people come true! In fact, when they mortgage their land and crops, they no longer belong to them!! ”

After listening to Xu Tian's explanation, Yu Fei was dumbfounded. In his opinion, such a simple truth, how can someone still be fooled.

Yes, often the simplest truth. It's one thing to know, to be able to really do it. It's another thing!

"Qian Biao took me to see the account books of the villages around Xiangyang City, and almost half of the people were among them!"

"I'm afraid someone is behind the scenes! Such a big stroke is not something that ordinary people can do. Could it be Liu Biao?!! ”

Yu Fei also found out that something was wrong, and looked at Xu Tian with glaring eyes.

"It shouldn't be Liu Biao, he is the lord of Jingzhou. Not to do that, but it's obviously a huge maelstrom. If you are not careful, you will be swallowed up, and your bones will be gone. So big brother, let's make plans! ”

"But brother, you've discovered their secret, can we still get out of it?"

Xu Tian nodded slightly, looking like Yu Fei understood what he meant.

"I just want to tell my eldest brother, I want to hear what you mean. This is a critical moment when lives are at stake, and we must withdraw. We're going to have to leave now, if we stay here. We have to strike first and take the initiative! ”

"Where can we go if we leave, although you didn't say it, brother. But the eldest brother knows that you have your own plans for coming to Jingzhou. And now that we're in it, I'm afraid it's not so easy to get out.

You and I are brothers who live and die together. Whatever choice you make. Big brother has your back, and I'm sure you've made your choice! ”

Yu Fei looked at Xu Tian and smiled slightly.

Xu Tian was deeply moved, throughout the ages. How many people have said that, but the real thing is coming. How many people can live and die together!

"Big brother, don't worry, we won't die so easily! I have already learned from Qian Biao that someone will come from Xiangyang tomorrow to accept these credentials. Let's start with this person and see if we can get useful clues. It's best to know the identity of the other party, so that it is beneficial to act in the future! ”

Yu Fei smiled, he liked to watch Xu Tian strategize like this. He believed in Xu Tian's abilities from the moment he decided to follow him to Jingzhou. Just unwavering in your faith.

Immediately, Yu Fei seemed to remember something. He asked.

"What about Yao Qing?! What should she do, should she tell her these things? And we need to keep her safe!! ”

"Someone else will do it for her safety. We don't need to bother, but you have to take care of her, big brother. Don't do anything else! ”

Yu Fei nodded cautiously. But in an instant, he laughed evilly. stared straight at Xu Tian.

"I said, brother, why am I staring at her? Why are you going, you're her master. Don't you know the beauty, forget the apprentice!! ”

The evil smile on Yu Fei's face made Xu Tian's affectionate emotion just now collapse directly, making him miss the broken shoe that Yao Qing once held.

Seeing that Yu Fei was still looking at himself with an evil smile on his eyebrows, Xu Tian pushed him out of the room.

"It's so late, big brother hurry up and rest. Otherwise, it would be so late at night, and the two of us would be alone in the same room. What do others think we're in! ”

Until Xu Tian closed the door, Yu Fei hadn't reacted. Muttering to himself.

"What?! What can we two men do, when did my brother become such a mother-in-law! ”

…………

Late at night, inside the city of Xiangyang.

Liu Biao stood alone in front of the bed with his hands behind his back, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed. Accurately land by the window and get down on one knee.

"How's it going?!"

Liu Biao did not have the slightest panic or surprise, and still looked at the sky. Speak lightly.

"My lord, the two people of the Yao family have already gone to Yangliu Village with Yao Qing. For now, there is nothing abnormal about the Yao family.

Yao Changfeng's order is to protect Yao Qing at all costs, and the other two don't have to care whether they live or die!! ”

"Have you found out the identities of those two?!"

Looking at Yao Changfeng's performance, he seems to know the origin of these two people. But he didn't say it, it looks like it's from an extraordinary background! ”

"Good! Go ahead and just do it! ”

The shadow flashed again and vanished.

Liu Biao was left alone in the room again, and he finally withdrew his gaze. Turning around and walking towards the inner room, the only whispered words echoed in the room.

"Whoever is beating me up for Jingzhou's idea, I will dig you out. Make you regret everything you did!! ”

The dark clouds drifted slowly, as if to bring a veil to the bright moon. Night, quiet again...
