The brothers Li Jianjiang and Li Jianlin are really unlucky. They were originally backed by the Li family in Quanzhou and had a great-grandfather who was the deputy Qianqian family of Chongwu Institute. Not to mention being rich and noble, there should be no problem in getting a living in food and clothing.

Unfortunately, the Li family in Quanzhou was not a family of officials, and their great-grandfather did not have a hereditary family or a hundred households, but was promoted by military merit. In other words, after their great-grandfather passed away, their family became an ordinary military household and could only survive by farming.

Originally, their family had a lot of military farming. Even if they were not greedy or occupied, they could divide hundreds of acres of military farming into farming. It would be no problem to support the family.

Unfortunately, there are more than one of their families. Their grandfathers have three brothers, and there are as many as six or seven brothers of their father. After diluting this, they will only have more than ten acres of farmland left.

Of course, more than ten acres of land are not unsupported to the two brothers. As long as they do not encounter any natural disasters and man-made disasters, it is still no problem for them to barely fill their stomachs with these more than ten acres of land.

Sometimes fate is just like this. They have not encountered any natural disasters. The Qianhu and Baihu of the sanitary center did not oppress them much for the sake of his great-grandfather. However, their parents were seriously ill one after another, and they died one after another.

Now, they really can't live because their parents owed more than 100 taels of debt, and they couldn't pay it back any more, so they had to get the land to pay off the debt.

But, once the land pays off its debt, what will they eat?

They were forced to do nothing, so they could only "debt their debts".

The squire Ai Wannian's account was not so easy to rely on. As soon as these two brothers "refused" him, he organized more than a dozen tenants to collect debts forcibly.

The two sides fought like this, and the brothers Li Jianjiang and Li Jianlin were not so easy to bully. There were more than ten cousins ​​in their generation. In addition, the help of his grandfather's old friend, the more than ten tenants organized by the gentry Ai Wannian were beaten down by them.

In fact, they also knew that this was not a solution. Once the Yongningwei Fushi Department was alarmed, they would definitely not be able to take advantage of it. However, they had no other way. Once the land was settled, they could only become tenants for others, and even became refugees.

They could only wait tremblingly, waiting for the people from Yongningwei Fushi Department to deal with them.

That morning, before the hour of the year arrived, a sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the countryside. Three fast horses and a carriage came from the direction of the city and headed straight for the courtyard where Li Jianjiang and Li Jianlin brothers lived.

Is this situation a constable from the government office coming to arrest people?

The two brothers of the government office were not very afraid. They were not ordinary people, but military households with skill. The government office was just a dish in front of them. Besides, they were not under local jurisdiction. Even if they were in trouble, they would be controlled by the people of the Pacification Department. They were not afraid of the local government.

This place is located at the junction of Quanzhou Prefecture City and Chongwuwei. The military households live in a relatively concentrated manner, and there is no need for the two brothers to greet them. Their cousins ​​and some familiar military households gathered quickly in his yard. There was a big fight, and it seemed that they were about to start fighting again.

When it comes to fighting, they are not afraid of military households. Nowadays, if you don’t fight with others a few times, would you be embarrassed to say that you are from a military household?

Speaking of fighting, the soldiers of the officers such as Yu Dayou and Deng Cheng were even more timid. When they saw this scene, Yu Dayou and Deng Cheng even showed an expression of excitement on their faces.

Unfortunately, they were not here to fight, but to talk to each other. They could only press the urge to fight and slowly tie the mount.

Li Jianjiang and Li Jianlin brothers didn't know what these people were here for. Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng, Tang Kekuan, and even Peng Fu were not good at all. The two brothers were a little worried when they saw them.

However, there were more than ten strong men around them, and there were only four fierce men on the other side. They wouldn’t be too timid to take action. Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan had just dismounted at the gate of the yard, and Li Jianjiang stepped forward and shouted, “Who are you, why are you here?”

Unexpectedly, Yu Dayou and the other two ignored him at all. Instead, the curtain of the carriage was lifted up, and a strong old man jumped out and smiled helplessly, "Jianjiang, what are you doing?"

Li Jianjiang looked at it and said in a daze: "Uncle San, why are you here?"

Of course, Li Liangqin is not their third uncle. He is just the third in his family, so the children of the Li family in Quanzhou usually call him third uncle.

He is a famous contemporary master of the Li family in Quanzhou. There are not many Li family members who don’t know him. As soon as Li Jianjiang spoke, more than ten men came to say hello.

Li Liang nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Everyone is separated. We are here to help Jianjiang and Jianlin pay off their debts. We are not here to fight, so there are no need for so many people."

When everyone heard this, they immediately surrendered. However, Li Jianjiang and Li Jianlin brothers surrounded Li Liangqin and said excitedly: "Uncle San, Uncle San, are you really here to pay off our debts?"

Li Liangqin shook his head and sighed, then pulled Yang Cong behind him out and introduced him to the brothers. The two brothers were naturally grateful to the rich child who helped them pay off their debts.

Yang Cong was too lazy to talk to them. Everyone discussed it a few words and rushed to the village together, and came outside the gate of the squire Ai Wannian's house.

Ai Wannian was already alarmed by their situation. Before the group arrived, he summoned all the young and strong people from the tenant households. However, most of the young and strong people from the tenant households were injured, and their eyes were full of fear. They were afraid of being beaten by these military households.

Ai Wannian hid behind and observed for a while. Seeing that these people didn't seem to be here to fight, she rushed out from behind the crowd and asked with fear, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Li Liangqin was not vague and went up to bow directly and said, "I, Nan'an, Li Liangqin, today I specially paid off the debt for these two unsatisfactory nephews. How much money do they owe? You can report it."

Ai Wannian naturally heard of this famous master of the Li family in Quanzhou. He looked at it secretly and found that this old guy was stronger than ordinary people and was not as terrible as the legend. He felt half of his heart.

Paying off the debt, okay!

He pretended to be the one who gave up, and then said seriously: "It turns out that he is the old man of the Li family. He has long been admired for a long time. The Li brothers' family owe me 317 taels of silver with capital and profit."

How come this hundred taels have become more than three hundred taels? Li Jianjiang heard this and leaned forward to point at him and shouted angrily: "You are talking nonsense, our family has only borrowed you one hundred and forty taels in total."

Upon hearing this, Ai Wannian said coldly: "What nonsense? Do you borrow money and don't charge interest? You owe me for more than ten years and have not paid it back. It's a black and white text, three hundred and seventeen taels, not a penny."

More than 300 taels are actually nothing to Yang Cong, but he can't be a sucker. What a joke? If you borrow 140 taels and get 317 taels, why don't you rob it?

He couldn't help but step forward and bowed, "Old Ai, the interest rate is a bit too high. Otherwise, the principal and interest will be calculated as two hundred taels. What do you think?"

Ai Wannian looked him up and down and said curiously: "What are you?"

Yang Cong imitated Li Liangqin's appearance and bowed to introduce: "I am not talented and Hui'an Yang Cong."

Hui'an, Yang Cong, who are you?

When Ai Wannian heard that he had reported this inexplicable name, he suddenly showed disdain on his face. Hui'an was next to Zhangban. He naturally knew about the juren and squire. He even knew that Yang Cong was not listed here.

Seeing this, Yang Cong said embarrassedly: "Yang Rong, the head of the Guanglu Temple in Nanjing, was the head of the Guanglu Temple in Nanjing."

Oh, it turns out that it's your spendthrift thing.

Ai Wannian curled his lips secretly, then pretended to be a false intention and said, "It turns out it's Mr. Yang, I'm so silly. Since Mr. Yang comes forward, then I'll give you face, it's 310 taels."

Damn, I only lost seven taels and refused to even remove a fraction of it.

Yang Cong knew that he had no face, but Ai Wannian was too disrespectful. He couldn't help but wink at Li Liangqin, meaning that you are the old man and fight him!

Li Liangqin was also a little annoyed. He said coldly with anger: "Old Ai, we are here to pay off the debt sincerely. If you calculate the interest like this, we really can't pay it back."

A look of panic flashed in Ai Wannian's eyes, but soon, he gritted his teeth and said, "Old Li, I know that I am not a match for your Li family in fighting, but don't forget that the Ming Dynasty was a rule of the king."

Li Liangqin was stunned when he heard this. What he said was right. He was not a desperate person. Could it be that he really beat Ai Wannian for this? He was really a little incapable of attacking him. Besides, is it useful to beat him up?

Seeing this, Yang Cong frowned. He really didn't expect that Ai Wannian was so brave. He was not afraid of seeing experts from Quanzhou. It seemed that he was wrong. Li Liangqin's name didn't seem to be very useful!

What should I do? Do I really want to be a sucker and give someone three hundred and ten taels of silver?

He was hesitating, when Deng Cheng suddenly stepped forward and pointed at Ai Wannian and cursed: "Sani Nai Jiji, I deserve a beating, right?"

Ai Wannian's face changed by Deng Cheng's attitude, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Do you really think that with the brute force, you can be lawless?"

Deng Cheng didn't like this. He took out a sign as big as a palm from his arms, patted Ai Wannian's face, and then said viciously: "I was originally here to be reasonable, but you humiliated me with the reputation of a scholar. Today, I will beat you up. What can you do?"

Ai Wannian's face was painful, and subconsciously reached out to grab the sign in Deng Cheng's hand and was about to get angry. However, when he saw the words on the sign, he was stunned.

Hungry, "The hundred households of Dengcheng, the Chongwu of Yongning, were hereditary of Dengcheng"!

This guy is not a full-time household, he knows that if he is a full-time household, there will be no word hereditary among the full-time households. However, it is terrible that he is not a full-time household. Generally, he does not dare to have conflicts with gentry, such as these gentry, because they are afraid that others will take the opportunity to take advantage of their position. This hereditary household is different. They have no errands to masturbate anyway, and dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water!

These hereditary 100 and 100 households are basically lawless masters. If they get angry, they can beat you up so hard that they can’t take care of yourself. What’s wrong with beating you? Go and sue it. Isn’t it just arguing? Isn’t it just arguing? I’ll get enough to accompany you, and then beat you up after you get it.

When a scholar meets a soldier, it is hard to explain it. When an old scholar meets a hereditary 100 households, there is no place to reason. If someone really wants to be unable to get along with you, he can beat you up just by finding a fight. Anyway, it will be a slander in the end. As long as someone can tell a reason, beating you will be useless.
