Yun Chao failed in fishing and had to turn his attention back to Lai and his son.
"Well, for the sake of us all being fellow villagers, I will leave you with a whole body. If you have anything else you want to say, you can say it now."
"No... no, Yun Muramasa, just show mercy and treat us like nothings..."
"Grandpa Yun, as long as you can spare my life, I will work as a horse for you in this life, the next life, and the next life..."
Seeing that Lai and his son had nothing to say, Yun Chao stopped talking and waved his hand, indicating that the boys could complain and take revenge.
Killing people is really not a pleasant activity. Yun Chao was too lazy to appreciate the death of Lai and his son. After handing them over to a group of boys, he went outside alone to watch.
In the woods, screams, roars, wailings, and the joyful laughter after the revenge was soon heard!
"That's almost it. Just dig a hole and bury them."
Yun Chao needs to control the rhythm. He can kill people, but he cannot become a killing machine. Especially sadistic killings are detrimental to the growth of all the boys and should be avoided as much as possible.
…
Looking at the bodies of Lai and his son, gradually covered by shovels of loess, Yun Chao felt lost. He never expected that his biggest enemy since time travel would end up in such a way.
Seeing Yun Chao's silence, all his boys were also silent.
For as long as they can remember, Lai Zhicheng has been a mountain weighing on their heads and cannot be shaken.
In their minds, in the minds of their fathers, and even in the minds of their ancestors, the Lai family is powerful, invincible, and the natural rulers. It seems that they were born to be the mayor of Wolong Village. The same!
I never expected that the powerful Lai Zhicheng would die in such frustration today.
A death so incredible, so boring, so funny...
The invincible Lai Zhicheng in his mind would be like an old dog, kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy!
When Brother Chao was teaching everyone, how did he say that sentence...
By the way, princes, generals and prime ministers, would you rather have the seed?
It's so well said. No one is born to be a ruler, and no one is born to be a slave. Anyone who is a corrupt official and bully who rides on the heads of the people and dominates them, the people must unite and overthrow them all!
…
"Brother Chao, these are the things found on them. Take a look."
Yun Chao took what Jia Mancang handed over and looked at it briefly.
There were sixty-seven taels of silver, four gold bars, and some house deeds and land deeds. Perhaps he was afraid that the people would steal him if he stayed at home, so he carried them with him.
Um?
Yun Chao flipped through it casually, but he didn't expect to find something.
I originally thought that there were only fields in Wolong Village, but I didn't expect that there was a house in Qingyang County.
According to what is written on the house deed, this house should not be very big, but it can be regarded as a foothold in the county.
The other land deeds are nothing special.
Almost all of them are the best farmland in Wolong Village.
Most of these fields were exploited bit by bit from the poor people by generations of the Lai family.
Among them, there are more than ten acres of high-quality farmland left to him by Yun Chao's cheap brother.
It's a pity that the original owner of Yun Chao's body failed to live up to expectations and sold it all to Lai Zhicheng at a very low price.
"Brother Chao, there is another box on the oxcart. Do you want to open it?"
"Open it."
Yun Chao did not open the boxes of the belongings he had brought from Black Pine Ridge in front of everyone.
This time was different. First, the number of boys following him was not large, only about ten.
Second, Yun Chao didn't think there would be any treasure in Lai Zhicheng's box.
Sure enough, when the box was opened, all the boys were disappointed because they did not see silver light, gold light, or even copper light.
The box was full of yellowing paper.
Yun Chao grabbed a few pieces of paper and read them, then motioned for all the boys to take a look.
"this……"
Holding the yellow paper in their hands, all the boys stared at each other for a long time, and then they squeaked and said: "Brother Chao, we... we don't know each other..."
"Usually when I ask you to study, you don't take it seriously. Now you are dumbfounded. There are good things in front of you, and you don't recognize them!"
The boys didn't take these yellow papers seriously at first, but after hearing what Yun Chao said, they became interested instead. Good things, what good things?
Everyone scratched their heads and scratched their heads, exchanging glances with each other, hoping to see the answer in the eyes of others.
It's a pity that these boys have only learned culture for such a short period of time that they can't even recognize a few characters except their own names.
"Ah? Brother Chao, I saw my father's name!"
Suddenly, Jia Mancang roared excitedly, almost frightening the old cow pulling the cart.
Boom! Yun Chao gave Jia Mancang a hard slap: "You kid, can't you be calmer? Why are you shouting!"
Yun Chao was happy when he took the yellow paper from Jia Mancang's hand and looked at it.
"Jia Zhengjing, on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, borrowed five buckets of grain from the village leader Lai Zhicheng, and returned it half a year later. The principal and interest amounted to one stone, and the words were established as evidence..."
Yun Chao really didn't know that Jia Mancang's father was Jia Zhengjing, and he didn't know who gave him the weird name. It was so funny.
"What? Is this an IOU for borrowing food from my father and Lai?"
"Yes, this is an IOU. If you borrow five dou, you will pay back one stone in half a year, which will be doubled."
"The straight bitch, the bastard named Lai, that is, he is dead. If he was not dead, I would have to kill him again. This is too dark!"
"Brother Chao, are these all IOUs? Do you have any from our family?"
Yun Chao patted the box: "There are all IOUs here, some from the last one or two years, some from the past few years, some from more than ten years ago, and even some from decades ago..."
"What? So many of them are IOUs, so don't all our villages belong to them?"
Yun Chao smiled: "That's right. If we sell the entire Wolong Village as written on the IOU, it won't be enough to repay the debt. The Lai family is like a donkey in lending money. This year they borrow five dou and next year they will pay back one stone. Two years. Three years, ten or several decades, think about it for yourself, how much should you pay back?"
"Ah? Why doesn't that guy named Lai force us to pay back the money? As long as he is willing, aren't all the folks in our village his slaves?"
"Yeah, so isn't the guy named Lai not that bad?"
Yun Chao did not answer directly, but gave everyone a meaningful look.
"I can't tell you this issue right away. I'll tell you right now. You won't be impressed. Let's use our brains and think about it for ourselves. Why does Lai, who has so many IOUs, not be in a hurry to force everyone to pay off their debts? "
