Chapter VII: Resoluteness

As soon as the young Lahu saw the dagger, his face turned gloomy.

The Tiger in the north is the same as the evil in the south, both of them are characters who live on the edge of the rules. Fighting and brawling is a trivial matter, and it is not uncommon to see blood at the knife, such as extortion, pit and abduction are common things, the south is fighting, the northern tiger is generally the head of the group or the head of the meeting, the head of the conference may be the secretary or official of a certain yamen, with official identity cover, the bottom is more than hundreds of thousands, as little as dozens of people, using all kinds of means to make money, if there are too many evils, the local government will clean up a batch, and it is not without examples of killing dozens or even hundreds of people, but since the tiger has been killed, You have to be ruthless in pinning your head to the waistband of your pants, otherwise you still have to farm or beg for food.

Zhang Han's dagger, the tigers are not afraid, what worries is Zhang Han's resolute attitude, the tiger is a person who works with people every day, whether the other party is bluffing or really has the determination to fight can be seen at a glance, Zhang Han in front of him, although the look on his face is very calm, the ruthlessness in his bones, the tigers present feel it.

"Zhang Shaodong, it's just a matter of a few dozen taels of silver, what kind of life and death." The young Lahu smiled gloomily, stepped forward, and persuaded: "Put down the shackles, there is something to say." ”

Zhang Han smiled, fiddled with the dagger, and said, "If you take another step forward, you will have to bleed, but I don't know if it will be your blood or mine?" To tell you the truth, I have also studied with martial artists for a few days since I was a child, and I am not powerless, so I can knead it at your disposal. ”

The Jin merchant family does have the family style of calling the children to practice martial arts, the big merchants of this year, not only hire martial artists to protect the courtyard and escort the goods, but also teach the children of their own family to practice martial arts, during the Jiajing period, because the Japanese are rampant, the Jin merchants also sent out a team of 500 martial artists to the south to ask for the Japanese, at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the serious dart line began to appear, to the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the dart line was prosperous, the northern martial arts from the dart wind, more than half of the credit is due to the Jin merchants.

Zhang Han's frame style is also practiced in martial arts, his legs are slightly open, the lower plate is very heavy, the dagger in his hand is held very tightly, there is no trembling and panic, the four horns are hesitant, it's not that they are timid, it's just that today's incident has caused death, it is really not worth it, it is not worth it.

……

Less than two miles away, in an alley on Xinpingbao South Street, Li Yuchun and Liang Hong were sitting in the east wing of the Li family drinking.

It was dark, there were two bright candles lit in the room, and the usual vegetable oil lamp was not lit, because the fireworks were too heavy. After the two of them drank three cups of radish strips and peanuts on the table, the lady of the Li family brought a plate of boiled and rotten chickens up, and the hot air and the smell of meat aroused the saliva.

Liang Hong said with a smile: "Sister-in-law also came up to have a glass of wine, and asked my nephews and nieces to come and eat too." ”

Of course, the lady of the Li family doesn't eat alcohol, but she still has the heart to ask her children to come up and eat some chicken, and seeing that Li Yuchun's face is not very good, she quickly excused herself and took the child to the kitchen to soak in chicken soup.

Liang Hong took a sip of wine and sighed: "I don't think Brother Li, you are so frugal now." ”

Li Yuchun glanced at him and said, "You are happy, you have a lot of fish and meat every day, what kind of industry can you set up?" ”

Liang Hong put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "I would like to, but the store has not improved in the past few years, and there is no dividend, what can I do to buy property?" I'm not as good as Brother Li, I followed the grandfather earlier and bought a lot of land early. ”

Li Yuchun shook his head and said: "It's true that I put a Zhuangzi, but the annual success of the past few years is not to mention it." ”

When Mrs. Zhang Yun was there, the business was good, Li Yuchun was three cabinets at the time, and he also got a hundred and ten taels of silver every year, and he saved it, and followed the master to buy a lot of land along the Yanghe River in Tianchengwei and Zhenyuwei, although it could not be compared with the thousands of acres of industry of the Zhang family, it was also a good way to earn the world.

It's a pity that the good times don't last long, and now it's difficult to do business in the store, and what's worse is that the weather is not good, the output of the acres of land is decreasing every year, and Li Yuchun is not a ruthless person, so he can't bear to ask the tenants to sell their sons and daughters, so they can only reduce the rent, so that the Zhuangzi they bought is unprofitable, and they have to lose a lot of energy.

In fact, the situation in Datong, Shanxi, is quite good, but the Shaanxi part is the worst one, and the evil consequences will come out after more than ten years, and the endurance of the Chinese peasants has reached the point of large-scale rebellion.

Li Yuchun doesn't understand these big things, what he wants is to get rid of his own predicament.

"When your nephew scared Shaodong and told him not to come to the store again, the master's side is up to you to say, to this point and Yusheng had to ask the three of us to come down, to be honest, I don't have too much silver taels on hand, I am ready to sell all the farmland, Lao Zhou has a lot of money, but you have to think about it early."

Liang Hong's eyebrows moved, and he said with a smile: "Although my hands are scattered, I actually saved some silver." ”

Li Yuchun nodded, and said: "Let's pool the money to put down the store and goods, and the next step is to find my uncle to buy grain, which is profitable, and then I have to run more places, and it is true that I can collect some grain every year." ”

Liang Hong knew that in addition to looking for the Fan family, Li Yuchun also had other plans, and collecting grain by himself was also a way, but it was hard work, and he had to deal with the evil wolves in the place, and some things could not be done with silver.

It's just that there is no need to say much, what Liang Hong values about Li Yuchun is that he can catch the line of the Fan family, the Fan family is super rich with a net worth of millions, and if there is more money, there will be more officials in the local area, and the power will be great, and if you catch the Fan family, the future will be very good.

When the two of them said this, the conversation was almost the same, and Li Yuchun didn't eat much, just drank one glass after another.

Liang Hong knew his thoughts, and persuaded: "Lao Li, you don't have to be like this, although what we did was inappropriate, in fact, we really didn't have bad intentions." The young proprietor is too young, the housewife is a woman, and there is no one who sets up a household, how can this business be done? Take your plans as an example, it will be very troublesome to explain everything to the master's family, not to mention ......"

"Uncle."

Before Liang Hong finished speaking, someone pushed open the door and stepped in directly.

"Liang Xing is here."

Liang Hong's eyes flashed, pointed to his side, and said with a smile: "Sit down and eat and talk." ”

"Don't dare to drink wine, don't drink it." Liang Xing, that is, the young Lahu, who was also the leader of this operation, had a look of shame on his face, and stood at the door and whispered: "The matter is not done. ”

"What's wrong?" Liang Hong said: "Didn't see anyone? ”

"I saw people, but I didn't do it. You Shaodong, young but bold, is not a runner, but you have a ruthless ......"

Speaking of this, Li Yuchun stood up and exclaimed, "Did you do it with him?" ”

"Nope." Liang Xing hurriedly shook his head and said: "Uncle has repeatedly explained that he must not take the initiative with Dongdong, he took out his bag and wanted to fight hard, so we had no choice but to leave quickly." I thought about explaining to my uncle, so I hurried here. ”

"So?"

"How is that possible?"

Li Yuchun and Liang Hong were amazed together.

They all watched Zhang Han grow up, this young proprietor said that everyone knew that he was a nerd, and he actually carried a dagger with him, and he dared to fight hard, even a tiger like Liang Xing was forced to retreat, and it was categorically impossible to be ruthless.

"It's bad."

The two looked at each other, and they both saw the bitterness in each other's eyes, they couldn't scare Zhang Han, and they didn't continue to be at the mercy of the next thing, Zhou Fengji would definitely not mix with them, and the three of them bought the store and started a new mountain by themselves, which was completely yellow!

Liang Hong was glad for a while, fortunately he had gone to order a few words with the young proprietor before coming here, thinking that even if this thing didn't work out, there was still a little room for regression in front of the young proprietor.

Zhang Han was not frightened by a few tigers, but when he returned home, he was frightened by his wife.

There are a lot of lanterns lit in the courtyard, from the two open doors to the main house porch, the two sides are partial to the box, more than a dozen lanterns are lit one after another, the courtyard is bright and bright, it is joyful.

Zhang Han looked at Zhang Chun and asked, "When did our family change the rules, what are you doing with so many lights?" ”

Zhang Chun was also puzzled and said, "I don't know, there has never been such a thing, unless it's the Lantern Festival." ”

Both the master and servant looked puzzled, but the frightened look on Zhang Chun's face was hidden.

Just now in the alley, the young proprietor was resolute, with a dagger in his hand, and the cold light was dazzling.

Those few Lama Tigers didn't make a move, and they didn't even say cruel words, and the evil young man Lam Hu at the head said a few polite words, and then turned around and left.

Zhang Chun just wondered, why is this young master so bold now?

To say that Zhang Han has learned martial arts, but he fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and the kung fu of a three-legged cat, one-on-one is not necessarily an opponent, but it is a one-to-four?

Zhang Chunke didn't count himself in that "one", he was also a stuffing ......

But it's really weird, so one, those bullies left so politely, and afterwards Zhang Han explained with a smile: "They see that I am young, and my mother loves me again, so scared, there has never been an accident, and they dare not easily ask me to go out, and then, hehe, the things below are easy to do...... But if I'm like this, can they really hurt me? When the news gets out, how will they behave in the future? Don't say that you have done it, no proprietor will want such a shopkeeper, so you must be told a thousand times, and you must not do anything with me......"

In fact, this hand, Zhang Han seems to be quite accurate, the original Zhang Han is timid and cowardly, Chang is a woman after all, after a fright, the mother and son are afraid, several shopkeepers said that the top and bottom of the business, I am afraid that Chang is more agreed, less opposed, the proprietor himself withdraws the capital, outsiders will not have anything to say, this matter is done.

It's a pity that when I meet the current Zhang Han, there is nothing else, this single person is still very strong......

This matter is just a trivial matter in Zhang Han's eyes, and he doesn't even have a strong grudge, but the situation in front of him is weird, and he can't figure it out a little.

The lights in the upper room were bright, and a mother-in-law saw Zhang Han coming back from afar, and opened the door curtain early, as soon as Zhang Han entered the room, he felt a burst of heat on his face, and he felt comfortable.

He took off his big wool clothes and coat, and was dressed in a azure robe inside, and he had never left a beard at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and his appearance was raw, and he was smoky, and he felt like a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth.
