Dahan stretched out his hand, stretched out his five fingers, and said, "This old man owes me five hundred taels of silver, can you pay it back?" ”

When Lin Yuan heard this number, he almost suspected that he had heard it wrong, five hundred taels of silver! An ordinary peasant in this era, even if he doesn't eat, drink, and works without sleep, he can't earn such silver in ten lifetimes, how can this old man borrow such a sum of silver!

Lin Yuan sneered and said, "This brother is really good at telling jokes, how could this old man borrow such a large sum of silver, what do you say he borrowed so much money for?" ”

Dahan said, "Then I'll tell you where the money this old man owes came from?" The old man did not have any land of his own, and rented two acres of land from the old man of the Zhang family, and what was agreed at that time was: sixty percent of the harvest in the field would go to the old man of the Zhang family, and forty percent would go to the old man himself, but the imperial grain still had to come out of the old man's forty percent."

"When Guangxu was ten years old, this piece suffered a locust plague, and the old man had no harvest in the field, so he borrowed grain from the old man of the Zhang family in order to survive, and the old man of the Zhang family was merciful, so he lent him grain, and it was said that it was fifty percent of the interest, and the interest was rolled, which owed silver, but in the next few years, the old man's harvest was not enough, so he could only borrow again."

During this period, the old man of the Zhang family repeatedly sent people to urge, but there was no result, and this person urged to ask for money, just like a few of our brothers today, if you don't come to ask for silver, what can you do to make silver? So the money has to be paid by the old man, and the five hundred taels are still the Zhang family's mercy and subtracted from the old man. ”

Lin Yuan sneered when he heard this, and said: "What is the difference between you and Ming robbery, you can't get back this money anywhere." ”

Dahan said: "Listen to what you kid mean, today you are going to stand up for this old guy!" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Not only do I have to stand up for this old man, but I also tell you clearly that I will also forgive the money that this old man owes." ”

The thin monkey jumped out from the side and said angrily, "What are you?" This contract in black and white, you say that you will be exempted! Big brother, this kid is too arrogant, hurry up and give an order, let the brothers clean him up! ”

Dahan nodded and said, "Brothers, beat this kid to death!" "Those people have long been moved by bad intentions when they see Shen Wanqing's beauty, but there is Lin Yuan on the side, so they have long seen that Lin Yuan is not pleasing to the eye, as soon as they heard this, everyone lifted the wooden stick and outflanked Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing in the shape of a fan.

At this moment, I saw a person fall on the courtyard wall, that person was as fast as a ghost, and came to the big man like lightning, and a bright dagger appeared in his hand, put it on the big man's neck, and sneered: "Say, who asked you to come?" ”

The big man was put on his neck by the cold blade, his voice trembled with fright, and he hurriedly said, "It was the master of the Zhang family who asked us to come." ”

The man sneered: "Master Zhang? But is it called Zhang Yunfeng? ”

Dahan shook his head again and again, and said, "No, no, it's called Zhang Zilin!" ”

The man asked, "Zhang Zilin?" What about Yunfeng? Dahan said: "Zhang Yunfeng died eighteen years ago, and Zhang Zilin is his son. ”

The man nodded and said with a smile: "Very good, you hurry up and go back, tell Zhang Zilin, let him wash his neck and wait for me at home!" I'm going to get his head! As soon as the words fell, I saw the blade in the man's hand turn, the big man screamed, knelt on the ground, and when he looked closely, he found that his right ear had been cut off by the man and held in his hand.

Everyone was stunned, the man raised his hand and threw the big man's ear on the ground, the big man screamed and went to pick it up, the man raised his foot, wiped the blood on the sole of his shoe, flew up to the courtyard wall, and walked away, the big man was cut off his ear, and he didn't care about collecting debts, so he fled with people screaming.

This change happened too suddenly, Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing were a little unresponsive, and Shen Wanqing said after a long time: "Who will this person be?" It can't be Zhang Keshi, right? ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "He said that he had a blood feud with the old man surnamed Zhang, but there are more people with the surname Zhang, could it be him?" Shen Wanqing said: "Listening to what this Zhang family master did, it is indeed damned, let's leave it alone, right?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "That's right, let them handle these things by themselves, and we should find out about the relocation as soon as possible." So Lin Yuan walked up to the old man, and the old man's family of three was also frightened by this scene, hugging each other and trembling, Lin Yuan smiled softly: "The old family, you are frightened." ”

The old man was grateful to Lin Yuan for helping him out, turned over and wanted to kneel, Lin Yuan hurriedly helped him up, and said, "I came this time to ask you about something." ”

The old man promised to invite Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing into the house, and then poured water on them, and then said, "If you have something, please tell me." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Did someone come here yesterday and ask if you would like to move out?" ”

The old man couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, just like the woman Lin Yuan had seen before, Lin Yuan couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?" ”

The old man hurriedly covered up and said, "No, it's nothing, that's right, yesterday someone came to ask me if I would like to move out, and I said that I didn't want to move out of Lu." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Why don't you want to move out of Lu? You don't have any land to plant here, if you are willing to move out, they will send you land to plant, this matter is specially approved by Lin Shuai, what? Can't you trust Lin Shuai? ”

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly said: "I can trust it, if I can't trust Lin Shuai, who else can I trust?" ”

Lin Yuan then asked, "Then why don't you want to move out?" ”

When the old man heard this, he quickly stood up and said, "Engong, you better hurry up, that big man is a famous bully, he has suffered a big loss, and it will not be good to come back to you for revenge in a while." ”

Of course, Lin Yuan heard that this was the old man driving him away under the pretext, so he didn't say much, stood up, hugged his fists at the old man and smiled: "Then I'll leave first." ”

When she went out, Shen Wanqing said, "What's wrong with the people here?" Isn't it just moving? Why are they afraid to be like this? ”

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "Someone must have said something behind their backs, you think, if they don't want to move, they won't be afraid of being like that as soon as they hear about moving, they will still want to drive me away." ”

Shen Wanqing said: "We have to find a way to find out the reason." Lin Yuan's heart suddenly moved, and said: "When I was at the banquet the day before yesterday, I heard a guest say that it was impossible for the British to take out a little bit of aluminum. ”

"Since the people are unwilling to move, it is impossible to build an aluminum factory, and the British naturally can't get any aluminum, so we might as well go find this person, and from his mouth, we may be able to find some clues."

Shen Wanqing couldn't help but complain to Lin Yuan: "Then why didn't you catch him and ask him at that time." ”

Lin Yuan said helplessly: "I want to too, but at that time, several people asked me to drink and talk, and I couldn't find that person when I broke it, so it would be nice if you were by my side." ”

When Shen Wanqing heard this, her heart was sweet, and she said: "We must have a way to find him, think about it, what are the characteristics of that person?" ”
