After Chinese New Year's Eve, it was the second year of Longxing in the Southern Song Dynasty.

After all, it was the Chinese New Year, Xin Zhi went home for one night, and planned to go back to Zhao Zhongyan's house the next morning, after all, Xin Qiji was accompanied by a wife, but Zhao Zhongyan had to spend the festival alone.

And Xin Zhen is also quite uncomfortable at home, of course, Fan Caiping is good to him, but the slaves brought by Fan Caiping are guarding him like thieves.

In this case, it is better to go to Zhao Zhongyan to feel more comfortable.

Therefore, he went out with Xin Zhong early in the morning of the first day of the new year, preparing to go to Zhao Zhongyan's mansion, but he didn't expect to be stopped as soon as he went out.

Stopping their master and servant was a strong man with a mole on his face, but at this time the strong man was dressed in rags, no different from the homeless people on the street.

Xin Zhong thought that the homeless people were going to come up and entangle, so he almost punched him, and the strong man shouted: "Young Master Xin, the villain is Tycoon Wen, the Tycoon Wen who saved your life!" ”

There was an extremely conspicuous mole on Tycoon Wen's face, Xin Zhi could see it at a glance, where would he not know that it was him, but he didn't want to take care of it, and when he heard Tycoon Wen say this, he couldn't ignore it, so he sneered and said, "Oh, it's Tycoon Wen, what's wrong?" ”

When Wen Daheng saw Xin Zhi and recognized him, he said happily: "Xin Gongzi, it's not easy for the villain to find you, why don't you come to find the villain?" ”

Xin Zhen smiled: "What am I looking for you to do?" ”

Wen Daheng was stunned and said: "Gongzi Xin, didn't you say that as long as the villain saves you, you will recommend the villain to Ling Zun and let the villain be an official, and also, you promised the villain a thousand yuan ......"

Xin Zhi looked at Wen Daheng like a fool.

Wen Daheng came back to his senses a little, gritted his teeth and said, "Gongzi Xin doesn't want to admit it, right?" It is said that the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, and the villain has a life-saving grace for the son......"

Xin Zhi couldn't help but laugh and said: "Wen Tycoon, should I say that you are stupid or that you don't know what to do, you tied me up, didn't give me water to drink, didn't give me food, didn't even let me go to the toilet, and I had to tempt you with money."

Tycoon Wen, do you know that you are lucky to be alive now? ”

Tycoon Wen didn't listen to this, but his mind was full of anger at being deceived, his face was flushed, and the mole was even more red as if it was about to drip blood.

"Xin Gongzi, if it weren't for me, you would have been burned to death, how could you not admit it, why are you so ungrateful! ……”

"Shut up!"

Xin Zhen's face was full of coldness, and he stared at Wen Daheng fiercely and said, "You are a kidnapper, you kidnapped me, and forced me to lure me with money."

After I was saved, I pleaded with people to spare you and spare your life, which is already the most benevolent and righteous.

Shen Tusheng has been skinned and torn apart, you little minion, don't you want to think about why you survived!

You even dare to come to the door to ask for a reward, you are looking for death! Loyal master, take him down and send him to the government, my father is hating and has nowhere to be angry! ”

When Xin Zhong heard this, he was about to step forward, Wen Daheng was so frightened that he turned his head and ran, Xin Zhong wanted to chase after him, but he heard Xin Zhi say: "Master Zhong, forget it, let him go."

Xin Zhong said in a low voice: "This kind of villain still has to be disposed of, otherwise I don't know when I will come out and bite someone, and I can't prevent it." ”

Xin Zhi nodded and said, "I know this matter in my heart, Master Zhong, let's go to the north of the city for a walk." ”

Xin Zhong nodded: "It's good that you know in your heart, why don't we go to Mr. Zhao's house?" ”

Xin Zhi smiled: "Go, go later, I want to go to the north of the city to have a look, I want to verify some ideas in my heart, maybe I can solve some of our current problems." ”

Xin Zhongqi said: "What problem? ”

Xin Zhi sighed and said: "Zhongye, you really don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, we spend money every day, but we don't have any income, don't you feel that something is wrong?" ”

Xin Zhong was surprised: "What's wrong?" ”

Xin Zhi smiled and said: "The money we spend every day is from the teacher, and the old mother on my aunt's side is strictly guarding us, for fear that we will spend a penny, are you comfortable living this kind of life?" ”

Xin Zhong said with a smile: "If you want money to find Da Lang, Da Lang will definitely give it to you, what kind of competition with those old mothers, as for Mr. Zhao, he is your teacher, you just spend his money, you are his personal disciple, just such a disciple, who will spend his money if he doesn't give you money?" ”

Xin Zhi was a little speechless for a while, Xin Zhong was actually right, the master and apprentice of this era are not the masters and apprentices of later generations, this is the Song Dynasty where the master and apprentice share glory and disgrace, Zhao Zhongyan is obviously when he is the heir to the mantle, let alone spend a little money, and even have to trust his life in the future.

All right.

Xin Zhi smiled and said: "Master Zhong is polite, but it's also a good thing to have more money, I want to do a lot of things in the future, and I can't do anything without money." ”

Xin Zhong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded vigorously: "Xiaolang is right!" ”

Seeing that Xin Zhong had been persuaded so easily, Xin Zhi couldn't help but be a little suspicious: "Master Zhong, what did you think of?" ”

Xin Zhong smiled and said, "The old slave understands what Xiao Lang thinks in his heart. ”

Xin Zhen: "......"

Xin Zhong said in a low voice: "What the old man had in mind was rebellion, and he also taught Da Lang like this, thinking that Xiao Lang is also like this, naturally he wants to make more money and make a lot of money!" ”

Xin Zhi looked at Xin Zhong in surprise, and said in a low voice: "Loyal master, the great-grandfather and father are the anti-gold makers, we are in the Great Song Dynasty......"

Xin Zhong smiled: "It's all the same, hehe." ”

What a ghost!

Xin Zhi saw Xin Zhong smiling honestly, and he was speechless for a while, so he could only say, "Let's go, go to the north of the city." ”

Xin Zhong smiled innocently, drove the carriage, and took Xin Zhi to the north of the city.

Xin Zhi sat in the car, looking at the scenery on the side of the road, the war in the north has temporarily stopped, and the Song and Jin countries are in full swing in negotiations, so Jiangyin's economy has begun to recover, and the people who were unable to escape have gradually returned, so there are more people along the way.

However, when I arrived at the north pier of the city, it was much more depressed than before.

Xin Zhi chatted with the dock porters on the dock, only to learn that the boat gang helped Shen Tusheng to be executed, and the rest of the crowd was leaderless, so the dock's business was also scattered.

Jiangyin is not only this wharf, but also more than this boat gang, there was the Lu family covering it before, and now the Lu family is in trouble, and they don't dare to control the wharf anymore, so now the wharf is still ownerless, so this situation is normal.

After Xin Zhen walked around, he had some ideas in his heart.

returned to Zhao Zhongyan's house, there were quite a few people in Zhao Zhongyan's house, all of whom came to pay New Year's greetings, Xin Zhi was unwilling to join in the fun, entered through the side door, and went to practice martial arts by himself.
