Zhu Nao

A basin of cold water was poured down on the head, it was icy cold, needless to say, it was like a slap on the face, burning pain.

Yang Laoer woke up suddenly and opened his eyes.I saw that I was in a courtyard, and there was a chair in the middle of the courtyard, and a young man with fair skin was sitting on the chair.A group of people surrounded the man in darkness, and several sharp eyes were staring at him.

The man smiled and said, "Are you awake?"

The night was too dark, Yang Er Er had to squint his eyes, and when he saw the person's face clearly by the firelight, he was frightened out of his wits—isn't this he or Zhu Nao, the sufferer who was planning to rob tonight? !

Jun Nao asked cheerfully, "I heard you have any plans for tonight?"

Yang Laoer broke out in a cold sweat and almost bit his own tongue: "I didn't! I'm not..."

Before he could get rid of the relationship, someone immediately dismantled his stage: "The owner, it is him, Yang Laoer, who wants to murder the owner, steal his money and kill him!"

"It's him!"

"it's him!"

"We can all testify!"

Second Yang: "..."

Almost all the refugees he had spent more than a month win over were standing behind Junao at this moment.Just at noon today, he was still gathering with these guys in the abandoned temple. He stood on the altar and talked, looked down at all living beings, and was proud of himself.Only a few hours later, he was tied up like a dead pig and thrown on the ground, looking up at the crowd, in a state of distress.Feng Shui turns in turns, and it turns really fast.

The refugees were filled with righteous indignation, but Jun Nao, the sufferer, didn't care.He crossed Erlang's legs and asked Yang's second son with great interest: "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Let's hear it."

"I...I..." Second Yang blushed so much that he couldn't hold back a fart.

When people are at a critical juncture, they are often either quick-witted or go to the doctor in a hurry.Younger Yang is the latter.He knew that this matter could no longer be denied, so in order to reduce his guilt, he casually pointed to a young man in the crowd and said, "It wasn't me, it was him! It was he who secretly planned and instructed me to do this all along!" Crying, "Prince Zhu, I am also a poor man, so please forgive me..."

Qing, who was identified by Yang's second son, was taken aback, panicked for a moment, and stammered: "Master, he, he is talking nonsense! It's none of my business!"

However, Zhu Nao didn't look at the young man, but still looked at Yang Lao Er, his eyes were a little more disappointed than before.He asked, "That's the misunderstanding you mentioned? Is there anything else?"

Yang Laoer was dumbfounded for a while, and began to kowtow to beg for mercy: "Prince, please spare me, these villains are slandering me!"

Everyone: "..."

Junao sighed leisurely.

Just now the refugees came forward to identify Yang Laoer. Yang Laoer was so anxious that he did not hesitate to make an enemy of everyone and wanted to pick himself clean.Now he was completely outraged by the public, and the young man he had framed was the first to jump out and beat him with fists and kicks.The people he referred to as "villains" also rushed up and beat him up.

"You dare to murder our owner, I will kill you!"

"You deceive the public with your demonic words, and almost deceived us!"

"Bastard, it's a good thing we didn't listen to you..."

Younger Yang was beaten until he cried and begged for mercy. "Don't fight, don't fight, I was wrong, I don't dare to do it again! I'll be your cow and horse, let me go..."

Looking at this farce, Cheng Jingzhe couldn't help curling her lips.He whispered: "Young master, why don't you send him directly to the official?"

Zhu Nao yawned: "I wanted to see what kind of abilities he has... Sigh."

Jing Zhe was very surprised: "Ability? What ability? Is it possible that Young Master is planning to use him?"

Zhu Nao smiled, noncommittal.It's hard to say that Yang Laoer has no extraordinary ability to gather people together to make troubles.It's a pity that after this trial, this person has ambitions but no resourcefulness, and he can't even understand the situation.After all, he's just a rascal.

It was already very late, Zhu Nao stretched his waist, glanced at Yang Lao Er who was on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face, waved his hands and said, "Send me to the official." After speaking, he went back to the house to rest.

……

The next day, there was another long queue at the gate of Zhu Nao, all tenants who heard the news and came to apply for the job.

The Wang family brothers were also in the queue.Due to the large number of tenants, yesterday's registration was not completed, so they can only continue to queue today.

Wang Zhongqi took his brother's arm and said anxiously: "Brother, can we recruit?"

Wang Bozheng said: "Don't worry, our brothers are all men, and if we can endure hardships, we have a better chance of being recruited than others."

Wang Zhongqi nodded vigorously, and squeezed his thin arms: "I'm very capable!" After a pause, he wrinkled his bitter face again, "But we have no money at all, and we don't have any food for tomorrow, how can we make it through?" How about next summer?"

Uncle Wang comforted his younger brother: "The owner of the village is a kind man, maybe he will lend us some food."

Wang Zhongqi believed his brother's words very much, the gloom on his brows immediately dissipated, and a smile appeared on his face again.

However, although Wang Bozheng comforted his younger brother, he was very disturbed in his heart.He didn't know, would Master Zhu really be willing to lend them food?How much will the interest on the loan be?

It is necessary to know that the poor have no food in the twelfth lunar month of winter. In order to have a good harvest in the coming year, they can only borrow food from the landlords and wealthy households to survive.Landlords and wealthy households were willing to borrow, but the interest was very high. Sometimes if they borrowed ten buckets of grain in winter, they would have to get back fifteen buckets of grain in the coming year, a full five cents of the interest.So during the harvest season, the farmers have paid off more than half of the debts before the freshly harvested grain was warmed up.When the mountains and rivers run out in winter, they can only borrow food again.Year after year, there will never be a day to stand up.

But that's not the worst.Once there was a bad harvest, the rich landlords themselves did not have much food left, or they thought the poor were too poor, and worried that they would not be able to borrow money, so they would not even borrow.At that time, I really ran out of fuel and had nowhere to go.

The team moved forward slowly, Wang Zhongqi looked back and wanted to see how many people came today.When he turned around, he noticed a tall man standing not far behind them.The man had a stern face, a tall and strong figure, and was quite eye-catching in the crowd.

Wang Zhongqi hurriedly pulled Wang Bozheng's hand, and whispered: "Brother, look at that man."

Uncle Wang turned his head and saw the man.This team is full of refugees with yellow and thin faces, and it is really eye-catching for such a person to appear suddenly.

The man seemed to have noticed the gazes of Wang Zhongqi and Wang Bozheng, and also looked over at their brothers.Wang Zhongqi felt a little guilty when he was found peeking at others, and immediately lowered his head.After a while, he raised his head again and met the man's eyes again.Although the man's appearance was unapproachable, his temperament was quite friendly.He smiled at them.

Wang Zhongqi was slightly taken aback, his heart warmed up, and his impression of the man improved a lot.

After a while, it was the Wang brothers' turn to register.

The steward inquired in detail about the names, ages, household registrations, and population of the two brothers, and said, "Come back in two days, and we will send you the tenancy agreement after our verification is correct."

After explaining, he was about to call the next one, when Wang Bozheng suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

The manager raised his eyelids: "What else?"

Uncle Wang said embarrassingly, "We are here because of a disaster in our family. Could you ask the owner for some money and food on credit so that our brothers can survive this cold winter and return it after next year's harvest?"

They were obviously not the first to make this request. The person in charge was not surprised at all, and replied in a flat tone: "Yes. After the tenancy agreement is signed, there will be a special person in charge of this matter."

Uncle Wang was busy asking, "How much is the interest rate?"

The steward said: "The owner of the village has a kind heart and is sympathetic to the victims. As long as they are tenants of the owner, the loan is free of interest in the first year. Each person can loan seven grains of money, and the summer and autumn harvests will be returned in two installments. But only the first year can be interest-free. Starting from the next year, the interest will be reset according to the current market price."

The Wang brothers couldn't believe their ears and stood still.

The manager waited for a while, then urged: "Is there anything else? If you have nothing to do, let's go, there are still many people in line behind."

"Interest-free for the first, first year?! Free-interest?! Means no interest?? Not a penny??" Wang Bozheng's eyes widened like copper bells, and he confirmed again and again, "Brother in charge, please do not You're kidding me. Is this... serious?!"

The manager's face was numb: "Really, seriously, really seriously."

He has been asked the same question and answered the same answer by countless people today, and the reactions given by people are similar.Almost no one dared to believe that there would be such a good thing in the world, and he wanted to ask him ten times a question upside down.He was patient from the beginning, then he was annoyed by the question, and then he became numb.I only wish I could hang a plaque on my head, and the big words "every word is serious" on the book can save a lot of talking.

However, even though he was a little annoyed, he could understand these surprised victims.When Zhu Nao told him the rules at the beginning, he was also very frightened, and he went back and forth to confirm several times.

The brothers of the Wang family were still standing in front of the table and refused to leave. The manager couldn't help urging him again, but when he raised his eyes, he found that Uncle Wang's eyes were red and he couldn't stop shaking.

Steward: "..."

This is already the sixth person who cried on the spot that he received today.If Uncle Wang had been more excited, he would have become the third person to pass out today.

Fortunately, Wang Bozheng didn't lose his composure so much.He quickly wiped his eyes, choked up and said: "Thank you." He hurriedly took his brother and left without disturbing the people behind to register.

As soon as he left the crowd, Wang Bozheng turned around and hugged his younger brother tightly.The two brothers were very excited and it was difficult to calm down.

In today's situation, no matter how much Uncle Wang pretends to be strong and comforts his younger brother, he is actually already in despair.He thought that the days to come would be an abyss if not purgatory, and it was unknown how long he would live.Just yesterday, he planned to take his younger brother on a road of no return and die from then on.But who would have thought that at this time today, all the things he was worried about would be solved easily!

The land is also available, this year's winter grain has been settled, and there is no strict interest.Even if they are poorer now, as long as they work hard, the future will be more hopeful than before!

Uncle Wang was trembling and said: "I really want to go immediately to offer incense for Master Zhu, and pray to God to bless him. There is such a kind person like him in the world!"

Wang Zhongqi said embarrassingly: "We said yesterday that he is rich and unkind, and I feel really ashamed when I think about it."

Wang Bozheng couldn't help being taken aback.His younger brother's words reminded him that they decided to rob Zhu Nao with Yang Lao Er before, not only because of Zhu Nao's wealth, but also because of Zhu Nao's hoarding of grain during the disaster and raising the price of food, which made them all feel that Zhu Nao was rich and unkind, and that he deserved to die .But now it seems that Zhu Nao is clearly a generous, kind and generous rich man.

What kind of person is Zhu Zhuangzhu?

The author has something to say: Brothers of the Wang family: What kind of person is Zhu Zhuangzhu?

Answer: It is a fool.
