"The effect of fire oil seems to be no different from other materials that can make fires such as charcoal, but if it is combined with things like yellow phosphorus, potassium chlorate, realgar, etc., to make incendiary bombs and poison gas bombs, it will be much more dangerous.

Just imagine, a barrel of such oil, without prior ignition, and water cannot be extinguished, how harmful the effect should be. In addition, the oil can also be refined for deep processing, and a lot of products can be produced at that time. Li Chengqian's mind was full of reverie for a while.

"It's so powerful." Wang Xuance listened and muttered to himself. began to think that Li Chengqian was a boy full of violence in his heart.

The three of them rested and talked, and unconsciously most of the day passed, because these workshops were in remote and hidden places outside the city, looking at the sunset deviation, it was estimated that they would not be able to return to Chang'an City tonight. Li Chengqian and the others sat in a carriage and walked slowly to the nearest manor.

There was still some distance from the manor, and the three of them were sitting in a carriage, drinking tea, while listening to Li Chengqian's continued boasting, and while they were talking, suddenly there was a commotion in front of the carriage, accompanied by the shouts and cries of women.

The three of them immediately pricked up their ears, and when they were puzzled, the guards came to tell them that a group of people in front of them blocked the way, forcing a family in the nearby village to pay back the money and rent, pushing each other, and arguing.

Li Chengqian was originally happy today, but his spirit was in a state of excitement, and he suddenly became interested, and said in his heart, when he went out, could he still encounter such a bloody thing? Just got to see it. Tell the guards to bring them over and ask them properly. After that, he didn't continue to stay in the car, beckoned the two to get out of the car, and then stood in front of the car, waiting to watch.

After a while, a yellow-skinned peasant boy helped a woman of about forty to approach. Several brocade-clad men swayed and followed closely behind.

Li Chengqian was about to ask a question, when he heard a tall and handsome man in brocade speak first: "Look at this chariot and horse procession, it should be a government monarch, just let the official family evaluate and judge, how can there be a reason not to repay debts." ”

"Who are you? Dare to be so unreasonable, look at you in brocade clothes, why are you bullying the countrymen here. Wang Xuance listened, stepped forward, and asked.

"Fu Jun Mingcha, we are lay disciples of Shanyuan Temple, and I am the manager of the manor to which the temple belongs, named Chang Huaishan. It's not that we want to bully their mother and son, it's really that his family not only doesn't pay off their debts, but also wants to commit murder and beat people, so we retreat all the way, so it affects your travel. The tall man Chang Huaishan hurriedly replied.

"Who are you? Since you owe a debt, whether you can pay it back or not, you should discuss it with others, why do you still beat people? Wang Xuance frowned and asked.

"Concubine Wang, this is a child's blessing. This prince, here's the thing,......, now that he is desperate, he asks the prince to be the master and give our mother and son a way to live. The middle-aged woman cried and cried and told what had happened.

Li Chengqian listened to it, and looked at the tall and handsome guy Chang Huaishan, who didn't look like a bad person, it seems that he really can't judge people by his appearance. Looking at the mother and son with ordinary faces, ragged clothes, and exuding the smell of dung, I can't help but feel my heart skip a beat, such people are the people of Datang? I always thought that at the beginning of the prosperous era, the people had enough food and clothing, but who knew that such a thing would occur, and it seemed that the superficial thing market was the most unreliable. Originally, Li Chengqian had only heard of forcing people to become prostitutes, but today was the first time he had seen people forced into slavery.

But since I met myself, not to mention that it also involves Buddhist temples. Now I'm worried about finding a way, it's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. These fake monks are taking advantage of people's danger and are pervasive. dared to blatantly spread rumors, commit murder and evil, and the lives of ordinary people turned out to be so unbearable! Look at how Prince Ben cleans you up, as for the Buddha Gate, hehe, I originally wanted to make trouble for you, who would have thought that you would just hit the muzzle of the gun.

It turns out that the story is very cliché. It happened that the middle-aged woman's husband had been ill for a long time, and because he had no money, he borrowed a loan shark from the temple to see a doctor for him, but the illness was not cured and he died. As a result, rumors soon spread that her husband was sick and died, all because this woman, the family did not respect the Buddha and did not offer incense to the temple, which annoyed the Buddha, so she suffered this disaster.

So under the pressure of public opinion in the countryside, in the discussion and eyes of everyone, this woman sold all the ration fields and Yongye fields in her husband's name, and began to enter the temple to worship the Buddha. Unexpectedly, the bad luck continued, and when the daughter entered the incense for the second time, she was lost in the temple, and she was not seen alive or dead. The mother and son were eager to save people, so they reasoned with the temple, but no one paid attention to them at first, and then they made a lot of trouble and were directly driven out by the monks who protected the temple. In the end, there was no choice but to report to the official and go home and wait.

The mother and son returned home in grief, but as soon as they entered the house, the loan sharks came one after another, demanding that the money be returned. Even the principal and interest were calculated, but it turned out that all the fields in the family could not be paid off. What happened just now was that the money lender forced her son to sell himself into slavery and repay the loan shark.

"How much debt does he owe you?" After listening to what Wang Xuance said, he couldn't help but feel sorry for himself, this is obviously a vicious set, but unfortunately there is no evidence, he really can't help it, and he said.

"Returning to the house, there are a total of fifty-two times with interest." As soon as Chang Huaishan heard the question, he hurriedly stepped forward and said in a crepe manner.

Li Chengqian frowned, and said in his heart, it is much more expensive than my high-end products. beckoning at the moment, Li Wujie opened the exquisite leather bag he was carrying, took out a silver ticket with a face value of fifty yuan and a silver ticket with a face value of two yuan from it, handed it to Chang Huaishan, and said: "Take the IOU, and my family Langjun will repay it all for him." ”

When Chang Huaishan saw the brand-new silver ticket, he immediately smiled, and kept saying: "Your mother and son are unlucky today, they really went out to meet a nobleman, so don't hurry up and thank this prince." He hurriedly took out the IOU and handed it to Li Wujie, but he thought in his heart, when these big people left, I would deal with your two cheap slaves. Hmph, the man has some strength to be a slave, and the woman pulls it to the West Market and sells it, which is estimated to be worth a week or two. After that, he took the silver ticket, smiled and retired, and led his men away.

Li Chengqian watched a few people walk away, turned to the mother and son who were very grateful, and said: "Although those people are leaving temporarily, I think they will definitely not give up, not to mention that your two families are so poor, you might as well go to Fuxia Manor with me first, and then make plans." ”

The young man was only thirteen or fourteen years old, about the same age as Li Wujie, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly thanked him: "Please also ask Fujun to rescue my little sister, she must have been killed by the monks in the temple." ”
