Chapter Seventy-Four: Liu Zongmin, a dealer in debt

Ten miles away from the wild boar flag, there is a hastily built thatched hut.

Although the material is simple, the workmanship is very good, and even the beams and columns that have not been stripped of their bark are full of antiquity.

Six maids in green clothes were decorating the house, and Yun Zhao, who was also dressed in green clothes, was sitting behind a low table, playing chess alone.

The heavily armed Yun Yang was standing behind Yun Zhao looking left and right, already a little impatient, it seemed that he had been standing for a long time.

An extremely majestic black war horse carrying a strong man in full armor turned around from the mountain road, first probing from a distance for a moment, and then slowly approaching with a two-long horse chopping knife.

When they got closer, even Yun Zhao secretly admired it, saying that the man in Guanzhong was strong and strong, but Liu Zongmin, who seemed to be shrewd and capable, showed the heroism of the man in Guanzhong.

Stopping at a place ten zhang away, he slowly dismounted, stuck his long-handled machete on the ground, and after tying up the war horse, he regarded the left and right armor soldiers as if they were nothing, and walked to the place two zhang away from Yunzhao and arched his hand: "Liu Zongmin has seen the big leader. ”

After Yun Zhao put the chess pieces, he didn't look at Liu Zongmin and said lightly: "What about Li Hongji?" ”

A look of uncertainty flashed across Liu Zongmin's face, but he still said respectfully: "King Chuang is thirty miles away." ”

Yun Zhao turned his head and commanded the maid in Tsing Yi, "Give wine." ”

Immediately, two maids in Tsing Yi came to Liu Zongmin's side, one holding the wine jar and the other holding a plate with a large porcelain bowl, bending their legs and asking Liu Zongmin to inspect the wine jar and bowl.

Liu Zongmin's eyes didn't leave Yun Zhao for a moment, and the maid opened the wine jar and poured the fragrant spirits into the big bowl.

Liu Zongmin didn't think about it, took the wine and drank it all, wiped a thick beard and said, "Good wine!" ”

Yun Zhao sighed slightly and said to Yun Yang: "You see, this is the reason why King Li Chuang was able to fight his way out again in a desperate situation. ”

Yun Yang smiled: "I can too." ”

Yun Zhao smiled slightly, then raised his head and looked at Liu Zongmin and said, "Good man!" ”

Liu Zongmin took a step forward with his fists and said: "The big boss has a wild boar flag to make my Liu Zongmin's 50,000 army stand still, and according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, King Chuang has given the big boss enough face."

But I don't know if the big boss wants to fight my army, or is he here to reward our army? ”

Yun Zhao casually flicked the chessboard with his hand, and said with some annoyance: "I didn't have such power when I was begging in my Yun Manor, why, did you talk about any etiquette when you saw the old master?"

I, Yunzhao, came to this Funiu Mountain thousands of miles away, just waiting to have a good time with King Li Chuang, what, do you want to fight with me? ”

Liu Zongmin said angrily: "Liu is not your Yun family's servant. ”

Yun Yang took a step forward and shouted: "Nonsense, the whole Lantian County is my Yun clan's subordinates, how can you be an exception?" You Liu Zongmin is a native of Luhu Village, and you still owe me the Yun family's ration money and have never returned it, and you don't bring some local products when you see your master, let alone call me a young master, this is your family style? ”

Liu Zongmin was furious, took two steps forward in a row and pointed at Yun Yang and said: "Nonsense, although a certain family was poor in the past, it was also an iron-clad man, how could he ever owe your family money and grain?" ”

Yun Yang looked up to the sky and laughed, took out an IOU from his arms and shook it towards Liu Zongmin, and then bowed down and said to Yun Zhao very doggy: "Give him the IOU?" ”

Yun Zhao looked at Liu Zongmin with disdain.

Yun Yang immediately crumpled the IOU in his hand and threw it to Liu Zongmin and said: "The young master said that you are still a man, your father Liu Zhu'er's debt to my family has been forgiven, and from now on, you can puff up your chest and be your hero." ”

After that, there were two loud laughs, and the laughter was full of the pride of the forgiver.

Liu Zongmin leaned over and picked up the crumpled IOU, and after reading it, the fury disappeared immediately, and his hideous face quickly returned to calm, and he took the IOU into his arms and said, "I'll pay it back with interest." ”

Yun Yang snorted coldly and said, "This IOU is not fake, right?"

In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, the one hundred and twenty money borrowed by your father is easy to repay, and the head of my family heard that your mother had no milk after giving birth to you, and he was worried that he would starve you to death, so he lent the family's big milk sheep to your father for half a year, and you don't want to say that you have never drunk goat's milk.

My old Qin's head can be broken, blood can be shed, revenge will be avenged, and kindness will be repaid, I will ask you, what do you Liu Zongmin take to repay this kindness? ”

Liu Zongmin was dumbfounded......

When he was ordered to come, he had considered countless scenes, and he had also thought of countless ways to deal with them, even if it was the scene where Yun Zhao turned his face and wanted to kill him, he had thought of countermeasures, and he never dreamed that people were actually here to collect debts.

On the IOU, his father drew a monogram, this thing can't be faked, he often used such a monopet when he was young, and he didn't see the fake, as for the big goat, he also heard his mother talk about it, and this matter is not fake.

However, the Yun family has never collected debts for so many years, and they never expected that on this occasion today, they are actually collecting debts!

In the face of thousands of troops, swords, guns, arrows, and fires, Liu Zongmin, who had never frowned, felt that his back was crawling with ants, running around his body, and his square face was red in an instant, and it seemed that blood could drip out.

It is true that he is a robber, but such an IOU with a cent of interest is a great favor in the countryside, and if the old Qin people are not in a desperate situation, they will never borrow this kind of debt from the rich, because this is no longer a debt, but a kindness, even if the debt is repaid, the debt of favor cannot be paid off in a lifetime.

Clear-sighted landlords, once they find that a certain family has a manufacturable material, will deliberately give grace when their family is in difficulty, this kindness may not be useful, once it is useful, it will be useful, it is definitely a profitable business.

The reason why the squire has a strong influence in the countryside is due to this IOU.

"Hmph, where do you know what kindness is when you build a reservoir in Luhu Village, you have to use the tomb in the village, everyone in order to build the reservoir as soon as possible for the benefit of future generations, after discussion, they all agreed to move the ancestors away, other people's tombs have children and grandchildren moved away, no one pays attention to your father's grave, and is ready to level the tomb and deal with it as a desperate and lonely grave.

Or my aunt's boss can't bear it, looking for yin and yang, and choosing a good day to move the tomb to my family's field, every year Qingming, when my family worships the ancestors, I pass by your father's tomb, how much will put some fruit, burn some paper money, October 1 when the winter clothes are burned, even your filial work has been done for you, you still have the face to yell in front of my young master? ”

Liu Zongmin trembled, his lips trembled, at this moment, if the earth could crack a crack, he would definitely dive into it.

His knees weakened, he knelt on the ground with a puff, and said respectfully: "Filial son Liu Zongmin thanked the master for his thoughtfulness." ”

After saying that, after kowtowing three more times, Huo Ran stood up, looked at Yun Zhao and said: "Liu Zongmin is now serving the king of my family, even if he is deeply favored by the Yun family, he will definitely not have two hearts, and the big leader will refuse to solicit."

I owe money to the Yun family, Liu Zongmin repays it with 10,000 gold, and owes the Yun family favors, one day I will break into the king and set the world, I will use my life to protect your Yun women and children, so as to repay the Yun family's ** sheep for the grace of life, and repay the Yun family for the grace of my parents' tombs. ”

Yun Zhao's face was full of admiration, clapped his hands and said: "Sure enough, it is a good man among my old Qin people, so, just say it like this, you have no entanglement with the Yun family, come to someone, give wine!" ”

The maid in Tsing Yi poured a full bowl of liquor again, Yun Zhao picked up a bowl of wine in front of him and invited Liu Zongmin, and the two drank it together.

After drinking, Yun Zhao saw that Liu Zongmin was still going to speak, so he waved his hand and said: "Your momentum is taken by Yun Yang today, and your mind is scattered, and it is not good for you to discuss things at this time, go back and report to King Chuang, I am a hero with him, and at this point, I should also discuss the affairs of the world." ”

Liu Zongmin coughed lightly and sorted out his thoughts and said: "Since the big boss is willing to talk with my family's king Chuang, but, Xiangyang Heroes Association, why has the big leader disappeared for a long time, could it be that the big leader is worried that my family will not be able to harm the king?" ”

Yun Zhao said with a smile: "The word Xinyi belongs to a good man like you, and it also belongs to an old Qin person like Yun Yang, but it will not appear in someone like me or King Chuang."

Both of us are at stake for the lives and deaths of millions of people, and we really can't afford to talk about the word faith.

Moreover, in this world, those who are expected to ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan are only King Chuang and Zhao'er, and the rest are just people who are about to die, and the dry bones in the grave are insufficient. ”

Liu Zongmin looked at Yun Zhao in fluttering green clothes, and secretly admired, he also admired the person in front of him very much, when he was young, this person gave him a very different feeling.

always felt that the eyes of that little child seemed to have the ability to penetrate people's hearts and lungs, and he even felt that from that time this person knew that he would make a name for himself.

After wandering among thousands of troops for many years, how could he not know that the previous IOUs and the subsequent tombs were all prepared by the Yun clan in advance, and they were specially used against him.

Even so, he compared King Chuang with the elegant young man in front of him in his heart, and somehow, he always felt that the man in Tsing Yi in front of him seemed to be more suitable for ascending to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan than the ugly and vulgar King Chuang.

Yun Zhao rearranged the chessboard, re-settled, and re-played, just like the person who forced Liu Zongmin to death just now was not him.

Liu Zongmin silently arched his hand, sighed, lifted the machete, rode his big black horse, and left this quiet valley with a good hand.

Can't compare!

This is Liu Zongmin's most intuitive judgment of Yun Zhao.

In the past, he didn't obey anyone in the world, even the emperor in the Forbidden City, he felt that he could pull him off the horse.

However, when facing Yun Zhao, who was quietly playing chess, he always felt that this person had merged with Qingshan behind him.

"Xiaoxiong doesn't talk about faithfulness, Liu Zongmin has been taught."

Liu Zongmin, who was sitting on the horse, bowed his hand to the flag seriously.
