Chapter 20: The Robbery
The warm autumn sun shone on his body, making Chu Fan, who was staggering on the back of a mule, feel a little hot.
The sky is clear, the sound of the waves can be vaguely heard, the breeze is light, and the air is full of the salty smell of the sea.
On the left side of the road was a large field of harvested wheat, bare with not even a vole in sight; On the right was a gently undulating knoll, sparsely planted with a few trees of unknown species, and the breeze blew through another scorched yellow leaf, and the bare branches looked more and more desolate.
The mule is familiar with this road, and Chu Fan walked with the reins, lowering his head and only thinking about his own thoughts.
He had already woken up from the conjecture of the royal court's attempt to fall, although it was a matter of one or two months for Chongzhen to take down Wei Zhongxian, but it was a long process to crack down on the eunuchs, and he had to clean up the court first, and then there were a large number of magistrates.
Chu Fan couldn't remember how long this process was, but with his experience in two lives, he would definitely not be able to do it in two or three years.
Not to mention that Wang Tingtry is such an old oilman, how can he be restrained, if he catches the opportunity to turn the tables, maybe not only will he not lose his office, but he will go to the next level!
As long as his head is not caught by the door, he will never pin his hopes on cleaning up the eunuchs.
Returning to reality, Chu Fan realized that his situation was very bleak.
Although his family's life is now saved, his fate is in the hands of Wang Ting.
gave himself 5,000 taels of silver, which shows that Wang Tingqian has not given up the sea trade of the Japanese Kingdom, but he wants to let himself run errands in vain.
It is impossible to earn back 30,000 taels of silver for 5,000 taels, so when he comes back from the Wa Kingdom next year, Wang Tingchu will inevitably come up with other ways to let himself continue to work in vain.
The key is that he doesn't dare to reach out to his relatives and friends to borrow money, once he has enough money, God knows what tricks Wang Ting will come up with to try this old dog!
In the past, I heard that "breaking the county order, destroying the door order Yin", I just thought it was a joke, but now when I really faced it, Chu Fan really understood the meaning of this sentence.
The so-called herdsmen officials in this era are actually soil emperors of all sizes, like the Chu family, who are not firm in their feet, they actually rub the circle if they want to, and pinch it if they want to pinch it! Lawlessness and ingenuity, as far as Si!
The world is as black as a crow, and almost all the magistrates of the Ming Dynasty are this virtue, even if they are a showman, they have stepped into Shilin, and in their eyes, they are still the objects that can be taken and wanted, not to mention those who are promoted to fight small people!
Before the Ming Dynasty, various forces could still restrain each other, and the officials did not dare to knock on the bones and suck the marrow so frantically. After the apocalypse, the party struggle was out of control, and the conduct of the officials repeatedly broke through the bottom line, and they did everything they could to put the party rivals to death.
This is the real reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty! This is the real reason why Chongzhen wrote "The Ministers Mistakenly"! This is the real reason why the Tartars are walking on the ground!
When the "elites" of a nation see nothing but money in their eyes, the nation is no longer saved, tinkering is useless, and breaking and standing up is the best medicine to save the world.
Shaking his head that hurt in pain, Chu Fan pulled himself down from the high clouds, how could Da Ming not be able to manage it himself, and now his biggest problem is, how to break this dead end?
To break this deadlock, the only way is to rely on these 5,000 taels of capital to earn enough 30,000 taels, as long as you can earn enough 30,000 taels of silver, you should no longer be this kind of passer-by who can be sacrificed at any time in the heart of the royal court, right?
So, what exactly should you do in business?
Chu Fan was thinking about it, and there was a flower in front of him, and there was already a figure three feet away from the main road!
The man was dressed in a black cloak wrapped tightly, and the large hat was pressed low, and a chin with a sparse beard could be seen in the light.
Chu Fan reined in the mule, and watched in disbelief as the other party slowly pulled out a soft sword from his waist, the sword body was as smooth as a mirror, and the reflected sunlight pierced Chu Fan's eyes.
Robbery!
Chu Fan couldn't help but lament in his heart, how could he be so unlucky, it was easy to break a little gap from the net of heaven and earth that Wang Ting tried, and he actually encountered a strong man who robbed the Dao, judging from his skills as fast as a jaguar just now, he was still a martial arts master!
"Acquaintances, keep the money, you go!"
The man's voice was as dull and unpleasant as a broken gong, making people uncomfortable.
Chu Fan knew very well that with his small body, he couldn't even beat a sturdy one, and he had already given up on the idea of confrontation.
Looking left and right again, I couldn't help but cry out bitterly - this section of the road is the most desolate section, there is a small forest on both sides of the road, there is no shop in front of Buba Village, even if I shout in my voice, no one will hear me, and it seems that the cry for help will not work.
In the end, there is only one way left, escape!
Under the electric thought, he quietly strangled the mule's head, ready to run back when the other party was unprepared, but his mouth said perfunctorily, "This hero is just a down-and-out scholar below, where is there any money." ”
"Humph!" The man in the hat snorted coldly and said, "The conversation between you and the master of the yamen, a certain family has heard every sentence in your ears, and you still want to deny it?" …… Obediently hand over the five thousand taels of silver tickets, and a certain family will spare the life of your inferior gentleman, if not......"
He shook the soft sword in his hand, and the essence shot out, and the soft sword emitted bursts of dragon groans, which made Chu Fan tremble in fear.
The conversation between himself and Chen Shangren was on the second floor of the wine shop, and this guy could actually fly the eaves and eavesdrop on the wall - it seems that he is not an ordinary master!
What makes Chu Fan angry the most is, please, it's good to listen to it all, why did his own such a tragic fate come to his ears and become an "inferior gentleman"? He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Hero, you're just afraid that you're mistaken!" As he spoke, he had strangled the mule sideways.
The man with the hat didn't answer, and his figure flickered to Chu Fan, and the gong-like voice sounded again, "You can run and try it!" ”
Chu Fan only felt that as soon as there was a flower in front of him, the huge hat had already arrived in front of his eyes, which was so fast that it surpassed Bolt! At this time, Chu Fan even broke off the idea of escaping.
"Hero, this thing is like this," If you can't run away, then you can only reason, Chu Fan said with a bitter face, "My father is a ...... who runs the sea"
"Where is so much nonsense! Since you have given up your life and not your wealth, then take your life. The man in the hat shouted violently, and the sword in his hand was steep and long, and it came straight to Chu Fan's throat.
Chu Fan was so frightened that he subconsciously fell backwards, and he was able to dodge the sword, but he lost his center of gravity and rolled off the mule's back.
The vest fell the hard ruts, so that Chu Fan almost wanted to turn his back on his breath, but before he could breathe, a little cold light followed him like a shadow, and went straight to Chu Meng's high Adam's apple!
Not good! This time it's time to get home!
