Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

The big man stretched out his hand, spread five fingers, and said, "This old man owes me 500 taels of silver, can you pay it back?"

When Lin Yuan heard this number, he almost suspected that he had heard it wrong, 500 taels of silver!An ordinary farmer in this era, even if he does not eat or drink, and works without sleep, he will not be able to earn such a sum of money even in ten lifetimes. How can this ordinary old man borrow such a sum of money!

Lin Yuan sneered and said, "This brother is really good at telling jokes. How could this old man borrow such a large sum of money? Tell me what he borrowed so much money for?"

The big man said: "Then I will tell you how the money owed by this old man came from? The old man has no land of his own, and he rented two acres of land from the Zhang family. My master, [-]% goes to the old man himself, but the imperial food still has to come from the old man's [-]%."

"In the tenth year of Guangxu, this area was plagued by locusts. There was no harvest in the old man's fields. In order to survive, he borrowed grain from the master of the Zhang family. The master of the Zhang family was merciful and lent him grain. It was agreed at that time It's [-]% interest, compound interest, which means you owe money, but in the next few years, the old man's harvest is not enough, so he can only borrow more."

"So Li Gunli rolled to today. During this period, the master of the Zhang family sent people to ask for it many times, but to no avail. This kind of reminder also requires money, just like our brothers today. If you don't come to ask for money, go to Why can’t I earn money by doing something? So the old man has to pay for the money, and the Zhang family showed mercy and deducted the old man’s 500 taels.”

Lin Yuan sneered and said, "You guys set up such a clever name, what's the difference from Ming Qiang, you can't get your money back no matter where you go."

The big man said: "Listen to what you mean, you are going to stand up for this old guy today!"

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

The thin monkey jumped out from the side, and said angrily: "What are you? This contract in black and white, if you say it will be waived, then it will be waived! Brother, this kid is too arrogant, hurry up and let the brothers Take care of him!"

The big man nodded, and said, "Brothers, beat this kid to death!" Those people had long been moved by Shen Wanqing's beauty, but there was Lin Yuan next to him, so they had already looked at Lin Yuan for a long time. It was pleasing to the eye, as soon as they heard this, everyone raised their wooden sticks and surrounded Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing in the shape of a fan.

At this moment, I saw a person "swish" down on the courtyard wall, that person came to the big man with lightning speed like a ghost, and approached the big man with a flashing dagger in his hand, and threw it on the big man's neck, sneering: : "Say, who sent you here?"

The big man was held on his neck by the cold blade, his voice trembled with fright, and he said quickly: "Master Zhang asked us to come."

The man sneered and said, "Master Zhang? But is his name Zhang Yunfeng?"

The big man shook his head again and again, and said, "No, it's Zhang Zilin!"

The man asked, "Zhang Zilin? What about Zhang Yunfeng?" The big man said, "Zhang Yunfeng died 18 years ago, and Zhang Zilin is his son."

The man nodded and said with a smile: "Very well, go back quickly and tell Zhang Zilin to wait for me at home after washing his neck! I'm going to take his head!" As soon as the blade on his head was turned, the big man screamed and fell to his knees. When he looked closely, he found that the man had cut off his right ear and held it 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 to pick it up. The man lifted his foot, wiped the blood on the sole of his shoe, flew up to the courtyard wall, and walked away. Go, the big man had his ears cut off, and he didn't care about collecting debts, so he ran away screaming with his people.

The accident happened so suddenly that both Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing didn't realize it. After a while, Shen Wanqing said, "Who could 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 master Zhang, but there are too many people with the surname Zhang, could it be him?" Shen Wanqing said: "Listen to what this master Zhang has done. , Damn it, let’s leave it alone, shall we?”

Lin Yuan said: "That's right, let them handle these matters by themselves, we should find out about the relocation as soon as possible." So Lin Yuan walked up to the old man, and the three members of the old man's family were also very frightened by this scene, hugging each other Trembling unceasingly, Lin Yuan laughed softly: "Old family, I surprised you."

The old man was grateful to Lin Yuan for helping him stand out, and turned over to kneel. Lin Yuan quickly helped him up and said, "I'm here this time to ask you something."

The old man promised to invite Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing into the house, poured water for them, and then said: "What's your matter, 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 turn pale with shock when he heard this, just like the woman Lin Yuan saw before, Lin Yuan couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you?"

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

Lin Yuan said: "Why don't you want to move out? You don't have any land to plant here. If you want to move out, they will give you land to plant. This matter was specially approved by Lin Shuai, why? You can't believe it Handsome Lin?"

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

Lin Yuan continued to ask: "Then why don't you want to move out?"

Hearing this, the old man stood up quickly and said, "Grandfather, you should leave quickly. That big man is a famous bully. He has suffered a lot. It would be bad if he came back to seek revenge on you later."

Of course Lin Yuan could tell that the old man was using an excuse to drive him away, so he stood up without saying anything, cupped his fists at the old man and said with a smile: "Then I will take my leave first."

After going out, Shen Wanqing said: "What's wrong with the people here? Isn't it just moving? Why are they afraid of being like this?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "Someone must have said something behind their backs. Think about it, if they don't want to move, they won't be afraid to look like that when they hear about the move, and keep trying to drive me away." Walk."

Shen Wanqing said: "We have to find a way to find out the reason."

Lin Yuan's heart suddenly moved, and he 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 even a little aluminum. At that time, I thought he knew about my plan, but now it seems , he probably knew that the common people refused to move!"

"Since the common people are unwilling to move, it is impossible to build an aluminum factory. Naturally, the British can't get any aluminum. We might as well look for this person, and maybe we can find some clues from him."

Shen Wanqing couldn't help complaining to Lin Yuan: "Then why didn't you catch him and ask him carefully?"

Lin Yuan said helplessly: "I think so too, but at that time several people came to drink and talk with me, and if I interrupted that person, they would disappear. It would be great if you were by my side."

Shen Wanqing felt a sweetness in her heart when she heard this, she said: "We must have a way to find him, you should think about it carefully, what are the characteristics of that person?"
