Time passed little by little, the father and son were tied up and fell asleep, Wang Yongan also beat his spirits, quietly opened the door, and walked to the gate, there was no sound outside, but the more quiet, the more full of Xiao Killing Crisis. Wang Yongan decided to make plans tomorrow morning, so he returned to the house, and by the light he first observed everything in the room, but unfortunately although the house is big, the room is very dilapidated, and the quilt exudes a greasy smell, as if it has not been cleaned for a long time, and there are only father and son in the yard, no people and no women.

Such a father and son are not a big threat to themselves, so Wang Yongan turned his brain, walked to the side of the father and son, and kicked them.

The two of them suddenly woke up, looked at Wang Yongan, their eyes were full of horror, and now they finally determined that this person was a robber!

Wang Yongan searched his body and found some broken silver, pound sterling and dollar banknotes, and then put these banknotes on the table in one go, and the silver and banknotes were very dazzling under the candlelight.

"Recognize? GBP, USD? Wang Yongan asked.

The father and son nodded again and again, speaking of which, although the children of the Eight Banners do not have the ability to make money, but they still have the ability to recognize money, the pound is the world's hard currency, and when the British Empire is at its peak in the world today, the British Empire's gold and pound currency is more than any currency. On the contrary, the dollar looks like a face, and except for the Americas, not many people know the dollar.

Wang Yongan said: "I calculated, the money I have in hand is about eight hundred taels of silver, four taels of broken silver, the face value of the pound is more than six hundred taels, and the face value of the dollar is more than two hundred taels, if these more than eight hundred taels of silver are given to you to live, I don't know how long you can live?" ”

The eyes of the father and son suddenly lit up, if they had more than 800 taels of silver, then life would be much better in the future, and the son's bride price money was also available.

Wang Yongan took out a ten-penny banknote from it and introduced: "The ten-penny banknote of the British Empire, such a one, probably less than one or two pieces of silver, eight dollars of silver." As he spoke, he put the banknote on the candle flame, and the banknote was lit up at once, until it was burned to ashes, and then Wang Yongan said: "Whether you want money or paper ashes depends on your choice." If you satisfy me, I'll give you the money, and if you don't satisfy me, I'll burn the money. ”

The father and son nodded repeatedly.

Wang Yongan smiled, took out the linen cloth from the man's mouth, and asked, "Who are you, what are your names, and what are your identities, tell me carefully and carefully." ”

After the sackcloth in his mouth was taken down, the man gasped for a long time, and then said: "After the fifth leader of the white flag, Gultaha, the coated servant, Xitara Jinxi, everyone calls me Xizi." This man, if you like it, you can also call me Kiko. ”

Wang Yongan was very satisfied, nodded and asked, "Xizi, let me ask you, where is your pistol?" Didn't you put a pistol against my waist? Where's that pistol? ”

Xizi immediately shook her head and said, "Master, let's tell you the truth, I don't have a pistol, I am scaring you, using the handle of the rice shovel to scare you." ”

"Really?"

"If there were, I would have pawned it a long time ago, and I could still keep it." Kiko said helplessly.

Wang Yongan couldn't help laughing and said: "You have a bit of wisdom, and you know how to scare me with a shovel." He looked at the environment in the room and couldn't help but say, "Aren't you a flag man?" Ancestor Mengyin's family property is very large, but I found that your family has such a big yard, and there is not even a woman, let alone a servant, when did the children of the Eight Banners be so dilapidated? Tell me, what's going on in your house? ”

Xizi let out a long sigh, and then said faintly: "This master, it's a long story, but let me make a long story short, my family is so defeated, all because of my Abai." You don't know, I worship him to smoke a lot, and he smokes all the good houses, and my Eminem is also angry to death, you look at me, twenty-six, two daughters-in-law, what do you say about this, this old thing is angry with me, how many times have I said it, he just doesn't listen. ”

The old man immediately refused to answer, shook his head and glared, and shouted with a snort.

Wang Yongan also pulled out the sackcloth from the old man's mouth, and the old man gasped and said: "Bastard, you are still not my son, how can you talk nonsense with your eyes open?" ”

Kiko stiffened her neck and said, "Why am I talking nonsense?" Have you ever smoked a lot? When you don't have money, is it something in the seller? ”

The old man exclaimed, "As if you were not a big smoker, look at you, you are only twenty-six years old, and you look like forty-six." ”

Kiko said: "I smoke a lot because I have to deal with other people, I have to socialize, what about you smoke a lot?" You smoke a lot and enjoy it at home......"

“……”

Wang Yongan couldn't help laughing in his heart, it turned out that the father and son smoked a lot together, the father was forty-nine and looked like he was in his sixties, and the son was twenty-six years old and looked like he was in his forties. These two are the children of the Eight Banners, just like all the children of the Eight Banners, they have no ability except to spend money. But it's a pity that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners' salaries became less and less, especially after Yuan Shikai entered Beijing, the Eight Banners' salaries were delayed again and again, and even after the establishment of the Republic of China, the Eight Banners stopped paying silver. The father and son had a depressed life, and they also got into the habit of smoking a lot, so Xizi's mother was also angry to death, and now the father and son can only pawn the things at home to live, and their lives are getting more and more broken.

After understanding their identities, Wang Yongan felt some safety, these two people had no ability, and then looked outside, the sky was dark. At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of uniform footsteps outside, he immediately came to the courtyard, his ear was close to the door and stopped, and the soldiers outside shouted: "Martial law, martial law, the entire Jingshi City is under martial law, the imperial court arrests the Qin criminals, if you know the whereabouts of the Qin criminals, report to the government, and reward a hundred taels of silver." ”

Wang Yongan didn't wrinkle, and couldn't help worrying about whether the Beiyang Army would take the opportunity to fall into the well and kill himself. Maybe Yuan Shikai wouldn't do this, but the lower-level Beiyang officers and soldiers hated themselves as the "King of Jiangbei". Thinking of this, Wang Yongan returned to the house and sat on the kang with his brows furrowed.

Xizi hurriedly said, "This master, the people outside are arresting you, right?" ”

Wang Yongan asked with a smile: "If you catch me, you can have more than 100 taels of silver, do you make any money?" ”

Xizi immediately shook her head: "Don't do it, we will help you have eight hundred taels of silver, and only one hundred taels of silver for them, and we are not stupid." ”

Wang Yongan laughed: "It's good to know, the officers and soldiers said to give you a hundred taels, and it would be very good if it actually fell into your hands for ten taels, you know?" ”

"Yes, yes." Kiko said to his father.
