"The shopkeeper will look at this object again." Zhang Guanghua changed his ears and continued: "This was originally a whole piece of treasure silver, which has been carefully carved to have such a size, it has a hard texture and a smooth surface, and it also has a wonderful use. With that, he dug into his ear, and then handed the entire keychain to the shopkeeper again.

The shopkeeper took it and nodded, not trying the function of ear digging, presumably having seen similar objects, he pointed to a few keys of different sizes and asked, "Then what is the use of this?" ”

Zhang Guanghua couldn't help but smile and said, "The other pieces have no additional use, just ordinary jewelry, and these items can be disassembled and divided into small pieces to sell." As he spoke, he removed the keys from the keychain.

……

Out of the store, looking at the bright sun in the sky, Zhang Guanghua was extremely heroic in his heart. Touching the 200 taels of silver tickets in his arms, he instantly had a feeling of nouveau riche, you must know that according to the ancient exchange rate, this is a huge amount of 100,000 yuan.

When Zhang Guanghua walked away, the shopkeeper said to the shopkeeper, "Do you need to notify the leopards?" ”

"Nope." The shopkeeper had a vague sense that this person might bring him other surprises. The shopkeeper was not angry, and the piece of fat that arrived at his mouth flew like this.

After eating three bowls of chaos with beef eggs, Zhang Guanghua was satisfied, and then continued to shop, he didn't just look at it, he first went to the tailor shop to measure a set of clothes for Niu Dan, and he bought two sets of ready-to-wear clothes ordered by customers at a high price, thought about it and paid two more sets of clothes, and took the receipt and prepared to go back to Huang Cuixin. Then he swept the grain store and butcher's shop, bought a mule, hired a few men and a donkey cart, and put on the mule and went out of the city.

When I returned to the village, it was already afternoon, and the villagers all came out to see the excitement, and the people in the village were very poor, and it was rare to see people buying things from their homes in cars. While enjoying the envious eyes of the villagers, Zhang Guanghua's 100,000 yuan was also used up by almost half, in order to repay Huang Cuixin for saving her life, he gave her all the meat, food, rice and noodles in the car.

Zhang Guanghua reminded Huang Cuixin that when he went into the city to measure her clothes, he inadvertently asked her if she had any children, and at this time, Zhang Guanghua found that Huang Cuixin's happy face was obviously stiff. She said a few words of thanks and left in a hurry, Zhang Guanghua touched the back of her head, realizing that she might have said the wrong thing.

The next day, early in the morning, although he hadn't decided where to go, Zhang Guanghua still decided to leave. Because Huang Cuixin once asked him if he was a monk, he also had the idea of becoming a monk, but after chatting with some people in the city yesterday, he completely broke off this thought. In Dayuan, monks are comparable to contemporary civil servants, and you are embarrassed to knock on the monk's door without contributing a few hundred taels of silver. Now there is no place to live, I don't have a household registration or a black household, I shouldn't be able to go to the city to work, and doing business is even more delusional, isn't it looking for death in this era of war and chaos, not to mention that I can't do it if I teach, and the status of a scholar in the Yuan Dynasty is about the same as the lowest beggar. Damn, I'm in a hurry and I'm going to rebel! By the way, rebellion, the most promising profession with the highest reporting rate right now is rebellion. Since you know that the Yuan Dynasty will die in more than ten years, it is better to follow the Red Turban Army now, and it is not bad to get a feudal official when the time comes, but I don't know where there are rebellious teams to defect.

Zhang Guanghua did not say goodbye to Huang Cuixin, he put the burden and dry food on the mule, let the cool wind blow on his body in the early morning, and led the mule to walk out step by step. When he came to this troubled world, he didn't have a friend, and only animals could never abandon him.

Zhang Guanghua thought that he was leaving like this, and he was a little sad, who knew that on the way out, he actually met Huang Cuixin, and her man Li Da, he was surprised to see such a strong man for the first time in a poor village, he was able to eat so strongly, it seems that this Li Da is also a capable person.

After being silent all the way, Li Da and Huang Cuixin sent Zhang Guanghua to the entrance of the village, and they were quite grateful to Zhang Guanghua for giving them so many things.

Li Da was grateful and relieved, thinking that he had finally sent off this visitor from outside the world, but fortunately he didn't see any clues. Huang Cuixin is still a little reluctant, to be honest, Zhang Guanghua is tall and fair-skinned, and he is still quite good-looking.

But Zhang Guanghua's next sentence stunned them. Zhang Guanghua asked in a mysterious whisper: "Do you know where there are rebels?" ”

Seeing that Li Da and his wife did not answer in the local area, Zhang Guanghua suddenly realized that they were just ordinary farmers, how could they know this. Fujian belonged to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in the Yuan Dynasty, and the peasant uprisings here were mostly small fights and small troubles, and did not have much success, and they watched their village rise and rest at sunset, and they were not embarrassed to the point that they had to rebel to live, and they seemed to be asking in vain.

After asking, he smiled wryly and turned around. That's it, let's go all the way and see all the way, fortunately, I still have some money in my hand, I really didn't find the righteous army and nested in a small village to live in seclusion, anyway, it will take more than ten years for Fujian to fall, and it's not bad to be a rich man.

Zhang Guanghua wanted to open it, but Li Da was scared stupid, especially Zhang Guanghua's meaningful smile before leaving. He hurried to the village chief's house to ask for help, and although the village chief was old, he was a very wise man. After listening to this, the village chief thought for a long time and asked, "You said that he left without waiting for you to answer after asking, and he smiled weirdly?" ”

"Yes." Li Da replied honestly.

"He gave you food to show that he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and his heart is not bad, and he has never said anything like this to you before, and he only told you when he left, does he know something, and then hint at you something, it is very likely that he wants to help you?"

"Help me?"

"Yes. Do you think, if he knew that our village was going to cause an incident and came to investigate the situation, and it happened that there was an accident and your wife saved him, and he was about to go back to report after exploring the situation, and wanted to save your life before leaving, he asked you vaguely, is this possible? Of course, it is very likely that he just asked casually, after all, the rebel army of Wang Shandu's department once attacked Fuzhou last year, which is only a few dozen miles away from our Quanzhou, and some people are not very curious about the rebel army. ”

In the end, everyone discussed, whether there was or not, this person must not be let go until the situation is clear, and now that the preparations for the uprising have reached a critical period, we must not leak the slightest rumor, otherwise everyone will lose their heads. But the trouble is that you can't reveal your identity after stopping him, otherwise the fake will become real.

"It's better to ...... like this" After some discussion, everyone set the tone.

……

Zhang Guanghua climbed another hill and walked down the mountain, he was going to go all the way to the sea, where there were many well-informed businessmen, and as long as he did not enter the city, there was no danger, and if he did not know, he could find out the news of the uprising. Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves clattering from behind the mountain, and he looked back curiously, he had never seen a real person riding a horse when he was so big. However, as soon as he turned around, he was greeted by a wooden stick. Before he passed out, he saw only the face of a masked man.

What Zhang Guanghua didn't know was that the Yuan Dynasty forbade the Han people to raise horses and ride horses, and those who could ride horses were either Mongolian soldiers or daring robbers, otherwise he would not have looked back leisurely.

I don't know how long it took for Zhang Guanghua to feel that he suddenly had a splitting headache, and there was darkness in front of him, he wanted to move his body, but found that his hands and feet were tied backwards on a big pillar, and he couldn't move left and right, but his eyes were blindfolded by strips of cloth.

The dark night when he crossed left too deep an impression on Zhang Guanghua, which made him a little afraid of the dark, and he didn't know where he was at the moment, and his heart was even more uneasy.

"Do you know the whereabouts of the rebels?" Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from front of him.

Before Zhang Guanghua could react, there was a sudden sharp pain in his abdomen, which was probably stabbed by some stick, his body spasmed, and tears of pain were left.

As soon as he recovered for a while, the voice came again: "The mouth is quite hard!" Dead or alive do not spit out a word. After speaking, it was another stick, this stick was a little fierce, Zhang Guanghua couldn't help but faint in pain, and before he passed out, Zhang Guanghua had only one thought in his heart: "Rub!" Where is there time to speak. ”

Feeling a chill on his face, Zhang Guanghua woke up, and the water passed through the strip of cloth to fascinate his eyes, but he also saw a little light through the soaked strip of cloth, and the fear in his heart suddenly weakened a lot.

"Do you know the whereabouts of the rebels?" The same words came from a figure in front of him, and there were two other people standing beside him.

"Hero, I don't know anything......" This time Zhang Guanghua learned to be obedient, and he answered as soon as he asked, but as soon as he said it, he knew that it was bad, and he didn't know what the "chaotic party" they were asking about. Sure enough, Zhang Guanghua only felt a gust of wind coming, and then a sharp pain in his chest accompanied by the sound of a horsewhip, his throat was hot, and he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

"It's not honest! It seems that if I don't give you some color, you really think that I am a vegetarian, uncle. The hoarse voice came again.

Feeling that his hands were being tied to something, Zhang Guanghua's heart suddenly felt half cold, and he couldn't even feel the heart-rending pain on his body.

"Don't, don't! I really don't know. What do you mean by 'chaotic party'? At least tell me so I can die. Zhang Guanghua shouted desperately, and he bet it was the fastest and clearest speech he had ever made. He also breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the movement of his hands stop.

After being silent for a long time, the man began to say: "Don't pretend to be stupid, those southerners and Han people are not good at digging and eating in the soil, tying a red turban and working against the court, isn't it a chaotic party?" You went into the city to buy so much rice and flour and grain, and you spread the news of the chaos of the party everywhere, how could you not be their accomplice? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Guanghua suddenly felt that he was more wronged than Dou E, what is this! However, he was more angry in his heart, as long as there was a little suspicious person, they would arrest and fight if they wanted, how could this Yuan Dynasty ever look at the Han people as people! I used to feel that history was very far away from me and had nothing to do with me, but this time I experienced this pain firsthand, and I sympathized more with those Red Turban Army who rebelled. He thought that if he could be given a chance, he would overthrow this mediocre dynasty with his own hands.
