Chapter 270: The Dilemma of Old Friends

Don't look at Xu Fatzi as a hundred, twenty-three man, but the two Ruolan Ruomei sisters each grabbed one of his arms, almost lifting him up in the air, as easily as a child. Xu Fatzi didn't expect these two seemingly thin girls to have so much strength, but he was really shocked.

Seeing that there was no one around, Yu Ren waved his hand to Sister Ruolan. "Let's go!"

Xu Fatzi was half-supported and half-dragged by two girls and brought to the boat. As soon as she got on the boat, Ruomei threw Xu Fatzi on the board of the boat.

"This fat man, he's so lazy. Along the way, almost my sister and I carried him here, and he didn't walk by himself. Ruomei shouted.

"Don't be unreasonable. He's my friend. You just hit him too hard and injured his leg, he can't walk even if he wants to! ”

Ruomei was silent.

Yu Ren helped Xu Shichang up and sat down on a chair.

"Shichang! You tell me the truth, why did you just see me and run away? I came to Hangzhou this time, but I made a special trip to find your brothers. Although our brothers haven't seen each other for more than three years, I, Yu Ren, have never forgotten you! ”

Xu Shichang lowered his head, his face was crimson with shame, but he didn't speak.

"What's wrong? We are brothers, if you have anything to say, you can tell it. There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to hide it. ”

Xu Shichang still didn't speak.

"I see. You must have done something to be sorry for Yu Xianggong, I'm not wrong! Perhaps, the disappearance of Huang Han and their family has something to do with you! Ruomei suddenly interjected.

As soon as Yu Ren heard this, a cold light suddenly shot out of his eyes.

Xu Shichang and Yu Ren looked at each other, and immediately felt a tremor in their hearts, and hurriedly defended loudly, "I really don't know what's going on with Huang Han's disappearance of their family!" Don't get me wrong, Boss! ”

Yu Ren had a calm face, "Okay, then tell me, why did you just see me running?" ”

Xu Shichang sighed, and then said softly, "I, I can't help it." I'm still not afraid of being seen in contact with the boss, and then making trouble for me afterwards, which will affect my family! If it's just me, I, Xu Shichang, am not afraid of anything. But they always wanted to take my family with them.

That year, when you left, Boss, Governor Liao didn't dare to do anything to us at first. Within two months, my father was called for questioning.

My father had no choice but to automatically hand over two thousand taels of silver. This is the end of the matter for the time being. But within half a month, Governor Liao instructed his subordinates to arrest him quickly, and found an excuse, saying that my father illegally sold iron weapons and arrested my father in prison.

In order to save my father, my mother sold all the family business and finally sold the house. Only then did I get together the money and get my dad out. However, after my father was released from prison, they broke his legs and had to lie at home all day. And our family's business is gone. The whole family can only rely on me to feed the inn alone.

Boss, you said, our whole family has been so miserable, where do I dare to meet you again! In the end, Xu Shichang's voice also raised an octave.

Hearing this, Yu Ren squatted down and gently held Xu Shichang's hand. "I'm sorry, brother. It's all my fault, it's me who has caused you a burden. I should have sent someone to see you. You were so miserable by the surnamed Liao.

However, you can rest assured, brother. I will definitely avenge you for this revenge. It's just not now, so please bear with me a little longer. When I return from the north, I will help you avenge this. ”

Xu Shichang waved his hand. "Forget it! Our family has become like this, even if we kill the surnamed Liao, we can't get the money back. I don't want anything now, I just want to be my second child and support my father and mother in peace. ”

Yu Ren slapped Xu Shichang's hand heavily, "Don't worry, brother." Your eldest brother now has tens of thousands of people under my command, and we have found a foothold on Dongfan Island, and we are ready to make a big deal there. I'm here to ask you to join us. ”

Xu Shichang was greatly taken aback when he heard this. "Big brother, are you really a pirate? I always thought that you, like me, were framed by them! ”

Yu Ren shook his head, "It can't be considered a pirate. It's just that it's not under the control of the imperial court. In this way, they will not be deceived by those corrupt officials. We will not rob people or property, nor will we rob houses or houses, nor will we kill people and set fires. We cultivated our own land on Dongfan Island, and some of us still do overseas trade.

Because I was planning to build a science and technology institute there, I thought of you. So I took advantage of this time to go north to Shandong, and by the way, I invited a few of you brothers to go to Dongfan with me to do a great job, and get out the thing I drew for you last time that can really fly in the sky. ”

"You mean airplanes?" Xu Shichang said in surprise. Although Yu Ren only drew a few pictures that time, and only said it once. But the thing "airplane" left deep roots in Xu Shichang's heart, so that he could never forget it. Of course, this has something to do with Yu Ren's talk about this "plane" too much.

At first, when Liao Shixiang had not persecuted Xu Shichang and his family, he and Huang Han devoted almost all their energy to the research of this aircraft.

Together with Huang Han and Li Fu, he made five or six wooden airplanes. It's just that it can't fly all the time. Once there was a strong wind blowing on the mountain, and a wooden plane was really blown into the sky, and it flew in the sky for more than an hour, and it flew from Hangzhou City and disappeared. A few people were excited for days, but then it was difficult for them to get the plane flying again.

However, inspired by this, they began to consider the power of the wind. So, they planned to pull the plane with a horse and let him fly. But it still didn't work out. Just as they were about to change their way to test the flight again, Xu's father was invited by Liao Shixiang to talk.

After Xu's father came back, he locked Xu Shichang at home and didn't let him go out.

It wasn't until Xu's father was arrested and imprisoned again that Xu Shichang regained his freedom.

At this time, hearing Yu Ren talk about "airplane" again, Xu Shichang felt that his heart was starting to warm up again.

"Airplanes, we must study them. However, before discussing this, can you tell me where Huang Han and the others went? Yu Ren saw that when Xu Shichang heard himself talk about "airplane", his eyes suddenly brightened, and he knew that he had already moved his heart.

"I really don't know. Since that time, my father was summoned by the Liao prefect to talk, and he was locked up at home, and he didn't have a chance to go out at all. It wasn't until my father was arrested and put in prison that I was released by my mother. However, at that time, our whole family was busy saving my father, and we didn't notice Huang Han and them at all.

Just once, I met Huang Han on the street, and he seemed to have something to say to me. But I was in a hurry to meet a buyer and didn't have time. When I'm done, get my dad out. When I went to look for them again, they had already moved with their families.

So, I still don't know where they went. ”

When Yu Ren heard this, he fell into deep thought.

"Will they be quietly killed by the family surnamed Liao? Otherwise, how could the family disappear overnight! It won't be so fast to move! Not to mention that it was still at night. The owner said that you have formed a big bond with the man surnamed Liao, and he must have taken revenge on these brothers of yours.

The Xu family had money, so he desperately extorted their silver, and Huang Han and the others had no money at home, so he must have sent someone to kill them quietly. Ruomei said.

Ruolan glared at her sister, "Why are you so sure?" The proprietor didn't listen to her, she was just guessing. In my opinion, Huang Han and the others may have quietly moved away after hearing the news of the Xu family's accident. ”

Yu Ren did not speak. After a while, he waved his hand to Xu Shichang. "You go back first! Ruolan, take me to Shichang, remember, watch out for suspicious people around you. Otherwise, give me twenty taels of silver to Shichang first. When you go back, you will send another hundred taels of silver to Shichang's house.

In the current situation, we need to be careful. Otherwise, if it is discovered by the surname Liao, I am afraid that it will drag down Shichang again. ”
