The rainy season is about to begin, and Dong Chongnian, the richest man in Anqing City, began to prepare. At the beginning, the rainy season was rainy for more than 20 days, and if you were not prepared for many things before, you would have to do it after the rainy season.

On this sunny day, the Lianghuai Metropolitan Governor's Mansion sent someone to invite Dong Chongnian to the mansion for a banquet. Even if he knew that there was no good wine and no good banquet, Dong Chongnian still went to participate. Compared with the Great Song Dynasty, the Mongols did not manage much, but they relied more on ferocity. Even so, Dong Chongnian feels that he prefers the present. My Great Song Dynasty is really boundless with ten thousand taxes, and all kinds of taxes are coming. Moreover, Dong Chongnian's family has not been a jinshi for 30 years, and the previous ones have long been scattered. Without Jinshi to support the façade, the family began to be harassed by the officials of the Great Song Dynasty. Seeing the Great Song Dynasty officials smiling and calling 'Dong Yuanwai', Dong Chongnian felt uncomfortable.

After entering the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Dong Chongnian found that there were really a lot of people here, all of whom were local wealthy families. Now Dong Chongnian feels a lot more at ease in his heart, there are so many people, even if he is asked to give some, the distribution is always limited. Dong Chongnian knew that the Mongolian Marshal Boyan was very strict in governing the army, and he punished the Mongolian soldiers for harassing the rich very strictly. Since the Mongols want to rule Lianghuai for a long time, they have to rely on the rich to come.

After everyone sat down, Fan Wenhu came out under the escort of his own soldiers. He did not sit down, but stood there and said to the people, "My sons are already going to Dadu to congratulate His Majesty the Great Khan on his birthday. Such a glorious thing, please come and drink to celebrate. ”

Hearing that Fan Wenhu's children were going to face the saint, these rich families felt that Fan Wenhu was indeed going to be developed. Seeing Fan Wenhu holding up the wine glass, everyone also hurriedly picked up the wine glass and got up to congratulate.

Fan Wenhu drank the wine in one gulp, and then said loudly: "Since you have come here and know the important matter of going to face the saint, it is not appropriate if you don't express it." In this way, I, Fan, don't let everyone think hard about the embarrassment of meditation. The list has been listed, please give it according to the list. ”

I didn't expect Fan Wenhu to be so direct, and a kind of rich people were dumbfounded. However, Fan Wenhu was not dumbfounded, he waved his hand. The soldiers rushed out, and the master shouted a name, and the soldiers handed a folded piece of paper to the rich man. Dong Chongnian didn't expect that Fan Wenhu, who was born in the Great Song Dynasty, was as straightforward as a Mongolian, and when his name was called, he didn't dare to answer the paper at all. The soldiers stepped forward and grabbed Dong Chongnian's collar, and viciously stuffed one end of the paper into Dong Chongnian's placket, and then let go of Dong Chongnian's hand.

No, Dong Chongnian took out the paper and opened it tremblingly. It was written the figures of one hundred taels of gold, five hundred taels of silver, and three thousand taels of copper. Dong Chongnian was stunned at the time, he didn't expect Fan Wenhu to list such a number. The so-called family wealth does not mean that these people really have 10,000 copper coins. The so-called family wealth is mainly real estate, land, and all kinds of fine and soft. It's not an existence like Zhao Jiaren, where can you have 10,000 hard currency.

However, what Fan Wenhu listed was all money, and the ratio of silver to copper coins has always been relatively stable, probably one or two silver coins for four full copper coins. Five hundred taels of silver is two thousand copper coins, and with three thousand copper coins, this is five thousand. It's hard to talk about a hundred taels of gold, and gold is about one tael to exchange for ten copper coins. The opening is 6,000 pieces of money, not to mention that Dong Chongnian can't take it out at all, even if he takes it out, Dong Chongnian won't give it.

"Fan Dudu. My family really doesn't have that much money. "Someone has already begun to plead.

Hearing this, Fan Wenhu sighed with relief. When Boyan's envoy arrived at him, Fan Wenhu didn't have as much money as the money asked for on the gift list. He was also begging not to open such a wide mouth. Under the guidance of the Mongolian envoy, Fan Wenhu became enlightened. There is no money to be afraid of, there are so many people under the Governor of Lianghuai, and there are so many rich people in Lianghuai.

Theoretically, Kublai Khan can manage anyone below, but Mongolia is a county official is not as good as the current one, the Great Khan only needs to manage the promotion and life of Fan Wenhu alone, and the people of Lianghuai will be handed over to Fan Wenhu.

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers dragged out the guy who had opened his mouth to beg for mercy, pressed it in front of the hall and began to beat the stick. The sound of fire and water breaking through the air, the crackling sound of falling on the man's thighs and buttocks, and the sound of the rich man crying for mercy all frightened the rich men's faces pale.

Some people really can't bear such mental pressure, screaming and trying to escape. was captured on the spot by the soldiers at the door, dragged to the front of the hall and beaten together.

After beating him with more than a dozen sticks, the soldiers stopped and dragged the beaten rich man up. Fan Wenhu's staff asked loudly, "Are you willing to salute?" ”

"I ...... My family really doesn't have that much money. The rich man who was beaten explained with tears in his eyes.

The staff shook his head exaggeratedly, he waved his hand, the courtyard door opened, and not long after, with the sound of exclamation, a group of men and women were dragged in. Dong Chongnian looked over and felt a little familiar, as if he was from the rich man's family. And when the rich man saw that his family was arrested, he knew that Fan Wenhu was playing for real, and he said miserably: "Fan Dudu, what do you mean by this?" ”

"The human heart is made of flesh. If you refuse to pay, then you can't say anything, and your family will have to suffer something. "Since his enlightenment under the guidance of the Mongolian envoys, Fan Wenhu feels that a new world has opened up in front of him. In this new world, all kinds of restrictions and restrictions of the Great Song Dynasty have been broken, and Fan Wenhu only uses his wings to soar. Without fear, without all the previous cramped and uneasy, Fan Wenhu looked relaxed and said in a calm tone, "If your family suffers in front of you, you still cling to the money." For a ruthless and unrighteous unfilial son like you, I can only send someone to raid the house. ”

Dong Chongnian only felt chills all over his body, like falling into an ice cave. This statement is straightforward and seems to be very convincing. However, when I think about it, I feel terrible. Fan Wenhu means that it is reasonable for him to rob everyone, and it is reasonable for him to torture everyone's family members. Those who do not obey his robbery will be raided by Fan Wenhu on the grounds of 'unrighteousness' and 'unfilial piety'. Fan Wenhu, an unrighteous person, actually used 'righteousness' as his reason to punish others.

Looking at Fan Wenhu in front of him, Dong Chongnian felt that Fan Wenhu was so strange, as if a guy who had never seen it before put Fan Wenhu's skin on his body.

Unlike the previous Song Dynasty's more intimidation, Fan Wenhu has now become a doer, and he no longer has the bombastic style he used to have. Seeing that the rich man still did not give in, as soon as Fan Wenhu waved his hand, the soldiers went up to torture the rich man's family. First, they were whipped and beaten with sticks, and the families of the rich were beaten and screamed. But the rich man's mother is quite tough, even if she is beaten, she grits her teeth and keeps silent because she doesn't want to lose her money.

Fan Wenhu showed a helpless expression on his face, waved his hand lightly, and said concisely: "Clamp the stick." ”

The pain of the stick was painful to the bone marrow, and the old lady was tortured, and finally couldn't help but cry out loudly. When the rich man saw his mother like this, he cried out and said, "Stop! Stop it! I give money! I give money! ”

Let people take the relatives of the rich out, and let the pro-soldiers escort the rich to get the money. Fan Wenhu's staff shouted another name.

Such dramas came out one after another, and three rich people were seen in a row. Dong Chongnian knew that he would definitely not be able to hide, so he gritted his teeth and stepped forward and said, "I am willing to go home and get the money." ”

Fan Wenhu waved his hand and even replied lazily. After enlightenment, Fan Wenhu found that there was really nothing to say in this world, and if he had a knife and gun in his hand, he would use it, and those who did not have a knife or gun would either obey or die. So bright.

Dong Chongnian finally came out, so he first begged his personal soldiers to escort him, "Brothers, how much money this Fan Wenhu gives you, I will give you double." Please let me go. ”

The leader smiled after hearing this, "Since you said so, our brother can't help but give you a chance to take the money out first." ”

"Huh?" Dong Chongnian felt that something was wrong, this was not a posture of cooperation at all. Before he could come up with a countermeasure, these pro-soldiers began to search their bodies, and first looted all the valuable things on Dong Chongnian's body.

"Just like that, you want our brother to let you go?" The one at the head said with a sneer.

"I ...... I'm just talking. Dong Chong began to think of other ways.

And the leader of the pro-soldier sneered and said: "Brothers, teach this guy a lesson first, what kind of bad idea is he thinking about in the province." ”

The pro-soldiers rushed up and knocked Dong Chongnian to the ground. After they finished fighting, the leader of the pro-soldiers said to Dong Chongnian, who was trembling and crying silently: "I have long seen that you rich people are not pleasing to the eye, do you think you can do whatever you want if you have money?" Do you think that if you have money, you can be powerful and blessed at any time? Hmph, we have knives and guns in our hands, and we are the ones who can do whatever we want. ”

After speaking, the leader of the pro-soldiers stepped forward and gave Dong Chongnian two crisp slaps, and then spit on his face with a mouthful of thick phlegm.

Dong Chongnian is also a strong person, even if he was beaten like this, he still held back his crying and sobbed silently. He suddenly began to miss Da Song now, in Da Song, at least he would not suffer such a fate. No matter how ruthless the officials are, the Great Song Dynasty also has laws to protect people like Dong Chongnian.

Finally arrived home, Dong Chongnian took the time to quickly let his third son and his family find a way to escape and report to the Mongols. These days, Dong Chongnian has tried his best to make friends with the Mongols. When Generalissimo Boyan passed through Anqing before, because of the looting of Mongolian soldiers, Marshal Boyan ordered the looting Mongolian soldiers to be arrested and killed publicly. If you want to come to the Mongols, even if you can't completely curb Fan Wenhu's misdeeds, at least you can make him restrain himself.

And when Dong Chongnian's third son ran out, although Fan Wenhu's personal soldiers seemed to notice it again, they didn't care at all. Dong Chongnian tried his best to delay. In the evening, there was commotion outside. When Dong Chongnian looked up, sure enough, it was his third son who came with the Mongolian army he knew.

When the Mongols entered the door, they shouted, "What's the matter? ”

Fan Wenhu's personal soldiers immediately stepped forward and replied: "Fan Dudu wants to celebrate the birthday of the Great Khan, so he is collecting congratulatory gifts." ”

Hearing this, the Mongolian army frowned, pointed to Dong Chongnian's third son and asked, "Then why are you so careless?" It also made people run away. ”

"Please also ask the hundred households to calm their anger. Not next time. Fan Wenhu's pro-soldier replied apologetically.

Mongolian Baihu's slender eyes narrowed, and then he took out a scimitar and slashed at the neck of Dong Chongnian's third son. Blood splattered out, and the Mongolian hundred households put away their knives and turned their heads away, ignoring Dong Chongnian or Fan Wenhu's personal soldiers.

"Ahh Yes! Dong Chongnian shouted, trying to rush over to help his son, but was firmly grasped by Fan Wenhu's personal soldiers.

didn't hear his own voice at all, Dong Chongnian just shouted subconsciously. What he saw was a dim sky with his son lying to the ground. There were two large black and red patches on the ground, one was bloodstained and the other was also stained.
