Chapter 81: The road roared when he saw injustice
Yunzhou is not far from Qiannan, but there are dozens of miles, when Lin Mo arrived in a carriage, it was about one o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Mo saw a high wall in his eyes from a distance, this wall is much higher than the wall of Qiannan, after all, Qiannan is only a county town with a city is already good, most of the city walls in the current dynasty have only one outer city wall, and only Chang'an and Luoyang have inner and outer double city walls.
After Lin Mo entered the city, he found that this Yunzhou Mansion was much larger than that of Qiannan, with 80,000 people in Qiannan County, including 40,000 in the county seat, and it can be said that nearly half of the people in a county are in the county seat. The nine counties of Yunzhou have a total of more than 600,000 people, and the city of Yunzhou has more than 100,000 people, nearly three times the number of Qiannan.
Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the street is full of lights, the crowd on the street is bustling, and from time to time you can hear the sound of selling one after another, and the heart says: "If you really open a restaurant here, you can make a lot more money than in Chennan." ”
Lin Mo thought about it and shook his head, he couldn't help but think a little too much about it when he went to Yunzhou before he could finish his life. This Yunzhou is more reasonable than the construction of the south of the city, the road is much faster than the south of the city, the city is separated, the market is the market, the square is the residential area, which is equivalent to the street community and the like.
Lord Yin of Youshi Mansion will hold a banquet in Yuelaiju, and this Yuelaiju has the same name as the Yuelaiju in Qiannan, Lin Mo also felt strange at first and thought that there was no trademark in this era, so the name was easy to repeat, and later I learned that this Yuelaiju is the same, which is equivalent to the form of a chain store, and there must be nearly a hundred in Jiangnan Road.
Lin Mo was a little stunned when he heard this, he has only one restaurant, hundreds of people, and the energy of the people behind this must be very large, otherwise it would not have developed so well, and no one would have made it difficult.
Fortunately, he didn't provoke this Yuelaiju, otherwise it would be quite simple for the other party to pinch himself to death. Lin Mo first went to Yuelaiju to step on a point, this Yuelaiju was full of people, it was very lively, Lin Mo was a little envious, and then shook his head and left.
Lin Mo walked on the street, looking at the various shops on the side of the street, as if he had returned to the feeling of shopping in his previous life.
At this time, a teahouse was crowded with people, Lin Mo walked in and saw that several men of five big and three rough were making trouble inside, constantly smashing and even throwing account books and a few words into the brazier and burning them.
The shopkeeper kept begging for mercy behind several people. Lin Mo learned from the onlookers that the shopkeeper of the teahouse had borrowed money but did not return it on time, so these people came to ask for the account, and if they didn't pay it back, they would smash all the shops.
And a few people are also famous pimps in the city, and everyone didn't dare to provoke, so they had to watch silently from the side. Lin Mo was a little helpless, sure enough, no matter when, the character of "watching the excitement is not a big deal" in the bones of the nation cannot be changed.
Lin Mo looked at these and said with a wry smile in his heart: Even if you don't go up to help persuade you, it's better to go to the government to report to the government.
At this time, a splash came to the shopkeeper and said: "Shopkeeper Feng, you still don't pay back the money, if you don't pay it back, don't blame the brothers for being polite." As he spoke, he picked up a broken table leg and was about to hit the shopkeeper.
Seeing this, Lin Mo hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Slow, you people, how can people smash shops in broad daylight and beat others." ”
Those few people looked for prestige, and when they saw Lin Mo, a weak scholar, they stopped a few people in their voices, and immediately stopped what they were doing, and gathered in front of Lin Mo, and the short-sleeved strong man in the lead smiled: "Where did the poor scholar come from to take care of the affairs of our masters." As he spoke, he carried Lin Mo and wanted to throw him out.
Lin Mo said sharply: "The state has national laws, and the family has family rules, if he owes money."
If you don't pay it back, you can go to the government to report to the official, how can you be like this, where is the law of the land, and do you dare to flout the law of the country? A few people were stunned when they heard this, this scholar is not big and his breath is not small, and his mouth is the law of the country, which really scared a few people.
The person in the lead looked at Lin Mo with disdain and said, "Okay, if you can make this person pay me back the debt, this matter will be over today." ”
Lin Mo asked, "He owes you a lot of money?" ”
"It's not more than one hundred taels, but he's overdue for a few days, plus interest, it's enough to pay three hundred taels after removing the odds."
When Lin Mo heard this, didn't he secretly say that this t was an open robbery? Borrowing 100 taels to repay 300 taels is a bit outrageously high. The shopkeeper said angrily: "You are robbing it, and the one hundred taels I borrowed have already been returned." ”
The leading pimple laughed, "When did you change it?" The IOU you wrote yourself is still here. As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his arms, on which it was written in black and white that this shopkeeper Feng owed one hundred taels and would be returned within a month.
Shopkeeper Feng said angrily: "I paid back the money that day, but you didn't say that the IOU had been torn up, and the money and debts were cleared." Now you take out the IOU again, you are clearly blackmailing. ”
The man smiled and said, "When did you pay it back, and who saw you pay it back?" As he spoke, he looked at the crowd, and all of them lowered their heads. Lin Mo secretly said that this shopkeeper is not stupid, he didn't pay back any money to the IOU.
Lin Mo sighed and said, "I can pay back this money." The shopkeeper looked at Lin Mo with a shocked face when he heard this, and the few splashes also looked at Lin Mo and secretly said that he had encountered a big wronged man today.
"Since Childe is willing to repay it, it is naturally best, and I don't want to make trouble, as long as I receive the silver, I will tear up the IOU." Shopkeeper Feng hurriedly stopped: "Son, don't be fooled, I have indeed repaid this money." ”
Lin Mo waved his hand and said, "I can pay back this money, but you have to compensate the shopkeeper for the loss first." He pointed to the messy ground inside the bunk.
The leader smiled, "It's natural. ”
As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot and handed it to Lin Mo, Lin Mo looked at it at about five taels of silver, shook his head and said, "Less?" The man was stunned for a moment and asked, "How much silver is missing from the son?" ”
Lin Mo said lightly: "Just now you burned a word, I read that the word should be written by the famous Ji Kang, this word is one hundred taels of gold, just now it was four words, that is, four hundred taels of gold, if you return the money, I will give you three hundred taels of silver." ”
When the man heard this, he immediately burst into a rage, this was obviously playing tricks on himself, what Ji Kang wrote, four words are four hundred taels of gold, four hundred taels of gold is four thousand taels of silver, where did he get so much silver.
The man said angrily: "Did you deliberately trick me, just four hundred taels of gold?" ”
Lin Mo shrugged and said: "Ji Kang's words are one hundred gold, if you don't believe it, go to the pawnshop, ask the calligraphy and painting shop, I didn't talk nonsense." A few people were angry with Lin Mo, and the man thought of something: "How do you prove that it is Ji Kang's words?" You're talking nonsense. ”
Lin Mo smiled and said, "How do you prove that this is not Ji Kang's word?" If you can prove otherwise, I will not only give you three hundred taels of silver, but I will also give you four hundred taels of gold. ”
When the man heard it, he couldn't do it, the word had been burned to ashes, and the ghost knew if it was Ji Kang's. "Boy, you're looking for death!"
Lin Mo said: "Either I take a step back, and you don't compensate, then I won't pay it back, if not, the two of us will go to see the official." "Lin Mo
I thought that this person should also retreat in the face of difficulties, but this person said: "Okay, see the official, Lao Tzu will accompany you to see the official." ”
Lin Mo secretly said that this person is not easy to fool, the IOU is still in his hand, and it will not be good for him if he sees the official.
Lin Mo could only stubbornly say: "Okay, go to see the official, it just so happens that I have something to see Du Fuyin." "As he spoke, he was going to see the official with a few people.
When the leader heard that Lin Mo wanted to see Du Fu Yin, he seemed to be very familiar with Du Fu Yin, so he immediately changed his attitude and asked with a smile: "Childe seems to be familiar with Du Fu Yin?" Lin Mo said with a smile: "I've met a few times, and this time I came to Yunzhou to invite Yin to a banquet." ”
When the man heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What is the childe's surname?" Where is home? What is the old story with Fu Yin? ”
Lin Mo said: "It's just an ordinary student, today Fu Yin is going to set up a banquet in Yuelai Residence, I planned to visit Du Fu Yin after the banquet, since you want to see the official, then I will accompany you now." "As he spoke, he was going to the government with a few people.
The leader's expression changed unpredictably, and finally said: "Since it is an acquaintance of Fu Yin, even if I don't know each other this time, this time for the sake of Brother Xian, I will definitely invite Brother Xian to have a drink in the future." As he spoke, he tore up the IOU, and then led a few people to leave.
Seeing that a few people finally left, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, "Alas, I'm finally leaving, if I don't leave, I really don't know what to do." Lin Mo said secretly. When the shopkeeper saw that the person was gone, he immediately bowed to Lin Mo to express his gratitude.
Lin Mo hurriedly helped the shopkeeper up, handed the five taels of silver to the shopkeeper and asked him to replace all the bad things, and then asked, "Since the shopkeeper has already dealt with the matter, you don't have to worry." By the way, what is the reason for this? Why did you borrow money from these people? ”
The shopkeeper sighed, and then said slowly, it turned out that the shopkeeper's wife died early and there was only one daughter in the family, who was sixteen years old and very handsome. But one day she went out of town with others to play and disappeared. Later, many searches did not find it, and the government also sent people to search for it, but there is still no whereabouts.
Later, one day a person saw a woman who looked like the shopkeeper's daughter, and the shopkeeper asked the man that he wanted to give two hundred taels before he said, the shopkeeper had just come down short, and there was not much money, and he had only made up one hundred taels, and there was still a hundred taels.
When the shopkeeper heard that he was looking for a woman, he agreed without thinking about it, made a note, and gave the money to the person who said that he had found his daughter, but the man got the money and led the shopkeeper to the mountains and then disappeared, and the shopkeeper realized that he had been deceived.
After coming back, I was busy getting up early in order to repay the money, and at the same time I asked around about my daughter's whereabouts, and the money I earned in a month plus I finally repaid the money in advance, but I didn't expect such a thing.
Lin Mo sighed, this is obviously a trap, how can there be such a coincidence, the few people who asked for money just now must be in the same group as the one who reported the news in front.
Lin Mo didn't say anything, just helped the shopkeeper clean up, and then got up to say goodbye and leave. The shopkeeper insisted on inviting Lin Mo to a light meal, but Lin Mo refused to say that he had something urgent, so the shopkeeper gave up and asked Lin Mo to come to him next time.
