The Red Age of Sword and Magic

Chapter 37 Serajong

Lan's mother was going to open the door to deal with people coming, Lan Zuo stood up suddenly, grabbed a shovel, walked in front, and looked out through the crack of the door.

"Mother, go back to the house quickly. Five or six scoundrels have come to Lan Batian's house, holding sticks. I'll deal with them."

Lan Zuo is young and thin, but as the only male in the family, he must stand up no matter what, so that no one can bully his mother.

Li Erjin stood up proudly, "Break into a private house, it's against them."

A few dog legs were banging on the door with all their strength, when the door opened suddenly, Li Erjin's fat figure blocked the door, "I see which one of you dares to come in."

In fact, one person can't block the gate, but Er Jin is the young master of a rich family, and his family is prestige if he has money, and the dogs are all scared.

The leading housekeeper stood up, "Well, Young Master Li, this is an internal matter of our Lan family, you'd better not interfere."

"Randy is my brother, this is my aunt's house, do you dare to bully my aunt?"

"That's not right. It's only natural to pay off debts, and you, Young Master Li, can't be unreasonable, can you?"

Er Jin looked back at Lan Zuo, Lan Zuo stared at the housekeeper, "Less than two years ago, I borrowed ten gold coins to treat my illness. I agreed to pay it back when my brother came back two years ago. It's not time yet."

"That's only a few days away. Will Randy have money when he comes back? It was a usury loan back then, the interest of the donkey rolling, can you get the forty gold coins?"

"No, even if ten gold coins come out nine times and thirteen times, it will be less than 21 gold coins in two years."

Er Jin is from a family of merchants, and he doesn't need to use his brain to settle accounts, "As long as I'm here, I can't let you bully people unreasonably."

The butler turned his head and muttered a few words, and then a dog-legged sprinted away.Looking back, "Young Master Li, even if the family can't afford 21 gold coins, they mortgaged the house and the land in the front and back yards.

The spring plowing is about to begin, and we are about to start farming. "

In fact, Lan Batian was interested in this land and house, and making money with usury was not his goal.

Shi Lanchong has [-] mu of land, and Lan Batian's family has [-] mu of land. If this land belongs to his family, the land will be connected into one piece. The landlord Lao Cai is quite obsessed with owning land.

Lan Batian is also afraid that Randy will come back. If he becomes an official in the county and has a status, he can find Erjin's parents or rich classmates to borrow and pay off the debt, and the land will not be available.

Originally, Lan Batian was also worried that Randy would have a future after graduation, and the usury to seize land was just a trial.However, his son has developed recently, even if Randy comes back, he is not afraid, and immediately started to do it.

The housekeeper chatted with Er Jin here, and after a while, four soldiers in new army uniforms ran to the door with water dripping on their backs.

Lan Zuo was originally behind Er Jin, when he saw the soldiers approaching from a distance, he rolled his eyes, turned around and ran, ran to the back of the main room, and soon disappeared.

When Er Jin heard Lan Zuo's footsteps, he thought the 14-year-old was scared when he saw the soldiers, but he didn't care.As Randy's friend, I must not retreat at this time.

Four soldiers ran to the door, stood at attention, put two guns on their shoulders, turned to the left and right respectively, and watched the surroundings.The other two raised their guns without saying a word, obviously trained very well.

A son came slowly from behind the soldier, wearing a white suit, with a big back, and a white top hat, looking at Er Jin with his hands behind his back.

Er Jin knew him, this was Lan Batian's son Lan Zhi, who fought in childhood.

Master Zeng and Governor Li Shengxin, who are dedicated to teaching and educating people, jointly played together ten years ago and sent young children to the Dark Continent to learn the ancient technology reproduced by the alchemists there. Eight of them were transferred to West Point Military Academy, and Lanzhi was one of them. one.

Now that Lan Zhi has finished his studies and returned to China?It looks developed.

Seeing that the young master was coming, the butler hurriedly stepped back, bent over and stood behind the young master.

Lan Zhi took off his top hat, held it in his left hand, and combed his back hair with his right hand, "Er Jin, we are old acquaintances, I have to take care of you. You can't hinder Governor Yu's plan to recruit soldiers and suppress bandits, then I will also I can't protect you."

When Lan Zhi arrived at the scene, a big hat was put on Er Jin's head.Er Jin sneered, "Why did I hinder the governor's affairs?"

"Governor Zuo is fighting in the northwest and dispatched the Hunan Army to the front line. Our defense in Tanzhou will be empty. The gangster Beihuzi took the opportunity to make trouble. Governor Yu was ordered by Governor Zhang to follow the story of Master Zeng and form a militia in the countryside. , to assist in the suppression of bandits.

A certain man returned from his studies in the Dark Continent, and Governor Mengyu was assigned the post of Assistant Military Affairs Officer, responsible for forming a regiment.

Now my father, as a village sage, has been appointed as the leader of the regiment training in Shonan County, and he has donated [-] gold coins to recruit Xiangyong.

Now someone owes my family money and doesn't pay it back.Although it hasn't expired yet, the Li family can afford the crime of delaying the formation of the militia group in the face of national crisis, right? "

"Are you short of these twenty gold coins for forming a militia? I just won't let it go. The lawsuit will go to the Governor's Mansion, and you will ignore it."

"Who will sue you? I have a warrant from the governor, and I can act cheaply. If you don't let me, I will enforce it."

Lan Yi waved his hand, and two soldiers with guns pulled the bolts, raised their muzzles, and aimed at Er Jin.

"It's unreasonable to play tricks, right? I, Li Erjin, will be afraid of you?"

Er Jin stretched his hand to his waist, and when he raised his hand, a thick, black, and long guy appeared in Er Jin's hand.

Seeing the two-pound guy, Lan Zhi was terrified. Turning around, she hid behind the two watchmen. When she stretched out her hand, a pistol appeared in her hand.

Lan Zhi studied engineering at West Point, and he is an expert in equipment.The thing in Erjin's hand looked well-made. It looked like a shotgun, but it was much larger than ordinary shotguns, so it should be called a hand cannon.

Look at the thick tube of the hand cannon, the projectiles inside are not small.If it hits the body, even though Lan Zhi's suit is wearing the enchanted golden silk soft armor of the Dark Continent, he will still be injured.

Moreover, the shotgun fired a lot of pellets at a time, and my flamboyant white suit from the Dark Continent would be full of holes.

The military shotgun does not weigh more than ten catties, and Er Jin’s handgun weighs nearly twenty catties, which means Er Jin is 1.8 meters tall and can handle it with a weight of 190 catties. This is actually tailor-made for Er Jin. heavy weapons.

Immediately, four shots were shot, and a shell gun was pointed at Er Jin at the same time.

Erjin was holding a hand cannon, fearlessly.

"Li Erjin, are you planning to rebel?"

"Who is taking advantage of the soldiers in his hands to forcefully break into the houses and rob people's houses and land? This is the behavior of bandits. Eat me as Serajong."

No one on both sides dared to shoot, the housekeeper had already led the dog legs back far away, but Lan Mu came out of the house, "Er Jin, don't fight them hard, at worst, give them the house."

"Auntie, you go back, today I am Li Erjin, I must not let them pass through this door, unless they step on my corpse."

The surroundings were silent for a while, two catties were one against five, both sides had their hands on the triggers, and they might go off at any time.

Lan Mu took out a pair of scissors.If Er Jin and the other party were both hurt, he would rush forward and stab the other party as hard as he could.

Lan Mu, who is full of wind and frost, looks resolute, but she cares about Randy in her heart.

Lan Zuo disappeared just now. He should have gone to ask for help. His own child knew that he would never run away.Although this child is frail and has always been clever, he is not too worried.

What happened to Randy?Can I still see you?There were two tears in the corners of his eyes, and he couldn't control what he said.

The two soldiers who were in charge of security suddenly turned their heads and turned their guns to the east. There was a rush of horseshoes at the entrance of the village, and then a roar of tigers.
