When he arrived in Xiaoshan, Lu Renbing bought a few sets of decent robes, changed several ticket numbers, and exchanged some of the gold and silver for silver tickets. Some of the copper cloth that was not easy to carry was also disposed of. Changed a horse, did not stop at Xiaoshan, and then headed for Qiantang. But soon he returned.

Qiantang and Renhe are the two counties of Hangzhou. In this era, it was still a troublesome thing to cross the Qiantang River from Xiaoshan, especially when passers-by Bing also carried a cart of property. In the eyes of others, it is no different from a fat sheep. There is no bridge on the Qiantang River, and if you want to cross the river, you have to abandon the car and board the boat. Although Hu Xueyan, a red-roofed businessman, built Yidu, there was a wooden boat on the Qiantang River with a length of 15 meters and a width of 4 meters, which could carry 100 people to and from Xiaoshan in Qiantang.

But once on the boat, under the inspection of others, Lu Renbing's carload of belongings will be exposed. This is something that Lu Renbing absolutely does not want to see.

So he turned around, Zhuji, and then went to Pujiang, Tonglu, and Fuyang all the way, and finally exchanged all the belongings of a cart into silver tickets.

He still underestimated the accumulation of those thieves. People also have eyesight, and the few scrolls left behind turned out to be the most valuable. Lu Renbing only sold one in Fuyang, and he got 3,000 silver dollars.

Lu Renbing, who claims to be a cultural person, is embarrassed, he has some understanding of calligraphy and painting, but he does not know much about the value of calligraphy and painting. He didn't know the goods himself, but he was sure that he had sold the scroll cheaply.

So he refused to sell the remaining few paintings anyway. I bought a better box and put it in it, and I carried it tightly on my back.

It took more than two months to toss, and it was now April 1907 in the foreign calendar. Lu Renbing had a silver ticket of 63,150 silver dollars on his body. There are also seven scrolls of unknown value.

After dealing with all this, Lu Renbing found a better inn, stored the carriage and horses, and asked for an upper room. I paid for the store to boil hot water and take a good bath.

After eating a big meal, I went back to my room and lay down satisfied.

The inn is made of wood, and the soundproofing is not very good. When Lu Renbing slept until midnight, he was woken up by the sound of conversation next door. The people next door seem to be arguing. There was a female voice among them, and she seemed to be loudly criticizing several people, timidity or something.

After a while, the voice quieted down. Then there was the sound of a few people leaving the room. Waiting, the next day, when Lu Renbing finished washing, he met a few people in the lobby. Among them were two women, several men of various ages.

The woman who was the leader turned out to be Qiu Jin, the heroine of Jianhu. When Lu Renbing finished settling the account and was about to turn around and go out. Suddenly, I felt that my waist and eyes were pressed against a sharp blade.

Lu Renbing's body stiffened, and with his kung fu, of course, he could easily counter the person who threatened him behind. But he thought about it and gave up, because he smelled a woman's scent. Use the dagger against his official Jianhu heroine Qiu Jin.

"Don't move, don't make a sound, follow me upstairs!" Qiu Jin said in a low voice. Then Lu Renbing felt the strength of the dagger against his waist a little bigger.

Lu Renbing had no choice but to turn around and go upstairs, and Qiu Jin followed closely behind him. After the two of them went upstairs, several people who followed Qiu Jin also followed upstairs, and according to certain rules, occupied favorable terrain to prevent possible surprise attacks.

"Get in!" Qiu Jin pushed Lu Renbing hard and pushed it next door to Lu Renbing's house.

Lu Renbing stumbled into the room, and Qiu Jin and another woman also followed into the room. The dagger in her hand has been replaced by a revolver.

"Tell me, who sent you here to follow us all the way, how patient you are?" Qiu Jin didn't turn around and got straight to the point.

"What followed you all the way, I am from Luzhen, Shaoxing, and I am a merchant who sells copper ware. I don't even know you, so why should I follow you? Lu Renbing said inexplicably.

"I have a good memory, and as long as I meet people, I will never forget. The first time we met was outside the city of Shaoxing. The second time was in Xiaoshan, and then it was Zhuji, Tonglu and Fuyang, we can see you everywhere, do you think I will believe that this is a coincidence? Qiu Jin said with a serious face.

Lu Renbing was dumbfounded, he really didn't pay attention to these things, his mind was focused on the safety of his belongings, and he didn't pay attention to Qiu Jin and them at all. But thinking about it carefully, it seems that in these places, he has really seen Qiu Jin and his party.

It's really such a coincidence, so what can be done?

When it came to the end, Lu Renbing was no longer afraid, he hadn't done anything wrong, so why bother.

"This lady," because Qiu Jin tied the woman's hair in a bun, it was not an exaggeration for Lu Renbing to call him Mrs. "It's really a coincidence, I don't know you at all, and I don't know what you do. I'm really just a businessman, and I heard that the rubber stock market in Shanghai has been bullish recently, so I wanted to take a look. I wandered around these counties in order to sell my truckload of goods and raise money to go to Shanghai to speculate in stocks. “

"I don't know how to prove my innocence, but I can explain my itinerary below. My next step is to go to Hangzhou and then transfer to Shanghai. I don't know, does this itinerary still coincide with Mrs.? “

Qiu Jin didn't make a sound, but the woman who followed her in had a strange expression. Obviously, the formation of Lu Renbing actually coincided with them again.

Lu Renbing looked at Qiu Jin who still didn't trust him a little, and couldn't help but have a headache. This is a real woman, it's really a headache. He had no choice but to unload his burden, take out his household guide, and let the two of them inspect it. He took out a few thousand taels of silver tickets, as well as a few newspapers from Huhai, on which there was really a rubber company's prospectus, let them see. to prove that what he said was true.

Qiu Jin was running a newspaper in Shanghai before, and she knew a little bit about the form of Shanghai Tang. However, her main focus was on women's emancipation and liaison with the party, and she did not study stocks.

After she grabbed the newspaper and read it, she stuffed it to Lu Renbing. Lu Renbing looked humble. It's like a merchant who only knows how to speculate.

Qiu Jin pondered for a while before saying, "In this way, it is indeed our rudeness, how offended." You can go and don't follow us again! “

"This!" Lu Renbing also wanted to say that he didn't follow the words. But looking at the two of them, they don't look very good at talking. I stopped with fun and stuffed my luggage into the box I had just bought. Holding the round hat in his hand, he greeted the two of them like two, and then opened the door and left.

Up and down the stairs, several people in charge of guarding him stared at him with unkind faces.

In Lu Renbing's heart, he secretly scolded his mother, but he really didn't want to deal with these revolutionary parties anymore. These people, with their eyes above the top, don't look down on him at all. Although he hadn't dealt with these people much, he didn't think he could be wrong. These people, including Qiu Jin, are all from scholarly families, and they all have the experience of studying in the East. He thinks he has seen the world, and he is the only person in this country who has opened his eyes to the world.

The way they look at Lu Renbing's people is that they are natives, foolish people, a bunch of uncivilized people, old people who need to be saved, and objects who need to be revolutionized.

Even for wealthy merchants, the gentry were seen as nothing more than a helping hand to be used. They take the world as their own responsibility, but the people of the world need to obey orders.

Lu Renbing felt that their ideals were very valuable, but they were too idealistic. is too violent, not something that a heavenly veteran like Lu Renbing can accept. He still obediently packed up and went to Shanghai Beach to make a fortune.
