The next day, Liu Xiu and Deng Chen went to the underworld.
In order to maintain the operation of Baishan, Deng Chen almost spent all his family wealth. Now it is really difficult for Deng Chen to survive alone and he is in urgent need of external assistance.
But now in Xinye, the only one who can really help them is the Yin family, and only the Yin family has the strength and financial resources.
Arriving at the underworld, Yinshi received Liu Xiu and Deng Chen.
Yin Shi did not know that Liu Xiu participated in the rescue operation of Deng Zijun and almost died in the Wang family's village.
Regarding the news that Liu Xiu, Yan Guang, Gai Yan and others were involved in this matter, Deng Feng and Deng ultimately did not spread it to the outside world. Of course, this was Liu Xiu's intention.
After sitting down in the hall, Deng Chen greeted him and said, "How is Mr. Yin's health?"
Yinshi smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Ever since my father was angry with Wang Jing and Wang Jin on the day of my little sister's birthday, my body has been worse than before."
Deng Chen nodded in understanding. If something like that happened, no matter who it was, he would be very angry. What's more, Yin Lu's health was not good to begin with. If he was angered like this again, his health would be unbearable.
Liu Xiu asked: "Have you found a good doctor to treat me?"
Yinshi waved his hand and said: "I have basically looked for famous doctors in the county, and I have taken a lot of various supplements, but... there has been no improvement."
Having said this, Yinshi shook his head feebly. After a pause, he changed the topic and asked: "Brother Weiqing and Uncle Wen came to Humble House this time for something, right?"
Just as Deng Chen was about to speak, Liu Xiu said, "Uncle Ci, my brother-in-law and I do have something to ask for this time."
Yin Shi smiled and said: "You two are not outsiders. If you have something to say, feel free to speak out. As long as our Yin family can help, we will do our best."
Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said: "The world is currently in chaos and the world is dangerous. My eldest brother plans to form a team of local warriors in Chongling to protect the peace of the country, but there is a lack of weapons. To create thousands of weapons, it will inevitably cost a lot of money.
We have a lot of money, but we really can't raise that much money. This time, my brother-in-law and I came to visit and frankly said that we are here to borrow money."
What does Liu Yan want to do in Chongling? How can the Yin consciousness not see it? It is said that he is forming a rural warrior, but what kind of rural warrior requires thousands of weapons? To put it bluntly, they are going to rebel
.
Liu Xiu used the excuse of forming Xiangyong to actually leave room for Yin Shi. If he bluntly said that preparing weapons was for rebellion, and Yin Shi lent him money, then the Yin family would have participated in the rebellion.
Before he had a thorough understanding of the Yin family's attitude, Liu Xiu did not want to risk everything to force the Yin family to make a statement.
Yinshi glanced at Liu Xiu, then lowered his eyes, picked up the tea cup in front of him, and took a slow sip of tea. Taking the opportunity of drinking tea, he also weighed the pros and cons.
Whether or not to participate in the Liu brothers' rebellion is like a life-threatening gamble for the Yin family. If you succeed, you will step into heaven, if you fail, you will fall into hell.
He was silent for a moment and asked: "Uncle Wen, how much money do you plan to borrow?"
Liu Xiu said: "Fifty thousand dollars."
Five hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount, but for the Yin family, it is not an astronomical figure. He squinted his eyes slightly and asked tentatively: "Is half a million dollars enough?
"
Liu Xiu didn't quite understand the purpose of his question. He pondered for a moment and said, "It's enough for now."
Yin Shi looked up and smiled and said: "Uncle Wen once saved the life of my roommate. I said that as long as Uncle Wen opens his mouth, as long as it is within the power of our Yin family, it will naturally be our responsibility, let alone a mere five hundred thousand dollars.
It's one million or two million dollars, and my Yin family won't be stingy either."
Liu Xiu didn't pierce the window paper, and Yin Shi also pretended to be confused. You said that the purpose of preparing weapons is to arm the local braves, so I will just take it as such and lend you the money.
To put it bluntly, Yin Shi still hasn't decided whether he should take a clear stand on the side of the Liu brothers and join them in rebellion.
This can’t be blamed on Yin Shi’s hesitation and hesitation in doing things. After all, the matter is too big and affects the Yin family’s century-old foundation and the life and death of the whole family. How can Yin Shi dare to act hastily?
Yinshi deliberately pretended to be confused, which made Liu Xiu somewhat disappointed, but fortunately Yinshi agreed to borrow the money. To a certain extent, this also showed that Yinshi supported his own uprising, but he had too many concerns.
.
Liu Xiu bowed his hands to Yinshi and said with a smile: "Uncle Ci has helped us a lot this time!"
Yin Shi returned the gift and said seriously: "I can't say it's a big help, but in terms of money, the Yin family can still make some contributions. If you need it again in the future, just ask Uncle Wen."
Liu Xiu leaned over and said, "Thank you very much, Uncle Ci!"
"Uncle Wen, you're welcome!" Yin Shi said, "Before tonight, I will send someone to rush five hundred thousand dollars to Deng's house."
backyard.
Yin Lihua also heard the news that Liu Xiu and Deng Chen came to visit. She hadn't seen Liu Xiu for a few days and didn't know what he was busy with during these days. However, as a girl, it didn't feel good for her to have men discussing things in the front yard.
participate.
She asked her personal maid to find Yin Xing, hoping to get some information from her second brother.
Not long after, Yin Xing came to the backyard. When he saw Yin Lihua, he smiled and asked, "Lihua, are you looking for me?"
Yin Lihua asked casually: "Second brother, I heard that Deng Chen and Liu Xiu are here."
"Yes." Yin Xing nodded and said, "It's in the front yard. Brother is waiting for you!"
She asked curiously: "The two of them came here, but something happened?"
"I heard that I need to borrow money."
"Borrow money? How much?"
"Fifty thousand dollars."
Yin Lihua was shocked and asked: "You want to borrow so much money? Second brother, did something happen to them? Why do they suddenly need so much money?"
Yin Xing smiled and shook his head. He looked up to the left and right, waved his hand, and dismissed the servants present. Then he said quietly: "To make thousands of weapons, of course, a lot of money is needed.
.”
Yin Lihua was even more shocked when she heard this, and asked in confusion: "Why do you want to make so many weapons?"
"It is said that it is for the purpose of preparing to build Xiangyong in Chongling."
"Xiang Yong? Even if we are planning to build Xiang Yong, we only need to pound a mausoleum and a hundred and ten people are enough. How can we use thousands of weapons?"
"So, preparing to build Xiangyong is just an excuse. The real purpose is..." At this point, Yin Xing paused and smiled at Yin Lihua without saying a word. What else could be the purpose of making so many weapons? It goes without saying.
Metaphor!
Yin Lihua was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously: "They are going to rebel..."
"Shh!" Yin Xing made a silent gesture to her.
Yin Lihua changed the topic and asked: "Brother, have you agreed to the price?"
Yin Xing nodded and said, "The eldest brother has already agreed." After a pause, he added, "But the eldest brother borrowed the money in the name of helping the Liu brothers establish Xiangyong in Chongling."
Yin Lihua smiled bitterly and said: "Brother wants to side with Liu Yan and Liu Xiu, but he is worried and hesitant!"
Yin Xing snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "Younger sister is still smart, she can show it at first glance!" He sighed softly and said: "It's a big deal, and it's reasonable for my eldest brother to be hesitant."
Yin Lihua said: "If you are indecisive, you will often miss good opportunities in the end."
If you don't clearly express your support for Liu Yan and Liu Xiu's uprising, although it reduces your own risk, when others actually succeed, they won't remember your good deeds.
Yin Xing also knows this truth, but Yin Xing can also understand his elder brother very well, because this decision is indeed too difficult.
Yin Xing shook his head helplessly and asked: "Little sister, do you think our Yin family should support the Liu brothers?"
Yin Lihua nodded and said seriously: "Now the world is in chaos, rebels are everywhere, the court is riddled with holes, and the situation is precarious. At this time, my Yin family wants to remain unchanged in response to all changes. It is no longer possible. No matter how difficult it is, the risk No matter how old you are, you still have to make a choice!"
There is no peace in Nanyang County now. In the south of Nanyang, two large green forest armies have appeared.
One is the Xinshi Army, and its leader is Wang Kuang (this Wang Kuang and Wang Mang's sixth son, Taishi Wang Kuang have the same name, they are not the same person), Wang Feng; the other is the Pinglin Army, and their leader is Chen Mu , Liao Zhan.
The people who make up these two armies are either bandits or bandits. Although they are currently only operating in the southern part of Nanyang County, entrenched in Xinshi and Pinglin, there is no telling when they will come to Xinye. , and once these green forest troops capture Xinye, will they still be able to eat the good fruits of the Yin family?
Supporting the two brothers Liu Yan and Liu Xiu, for the Yin family, is equivalent to winning over themselves a backer and giving themselves a protective umbrella.
After all, Liu Yan now has a lot of people under his command. Even if they are not as strong as the New City Army and Ping Lin Army, as long as they are armed, they can still protect themselves.
Yin Lihua's words made Yin Xing fall into deep thought. After a long while, he nodded slowly and said quietly: "What the little sister said is not unreasonable!"
In the front yard, in the hall.
After the business talk was over, the atmosphere in the hall became much more relaxed. Liu Xiu really wanted to go to the backyard to meet Yin Lihua, but he couldn't think of a suitable excuse for a while.
While he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard the crisp crashing sound of glass beads coming from outside the door. He turned around and saw Yin Lihua and Yin Xing walking in from the outside.
Seeing Yin Lihua, Liu Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up and her heartbeat accelerated.
Entering the hall, Yin Xing and Yin Lihua saluted Liu Xiu and Deng Chen respectively. Liu Xiu stood up quickly and returned the salute to them. When he looked at Yin Lihua, he asked, "How is Miss Lihua's health?"
His meaningless words made Deng Chen feel quite baffled.
Yin Lihua understood Liu Xiu's meaning, smiled at him, and said: "Uncle Wen's method is very effective. I woke up after drinking licorice juice that day. I'm fine now. I'm sorry to trouble Uncle Wen."
"Miss Lihua, you're welcome!" Liu Xiu leaned forward and said.
Yin Shixiao asked: "Why are the second brother and little sister here?"
"I heard that Brother Weiqing and Uncle Wen were visiting. I haven't seen them for a while, so I brought my little sister over to have a look." Yin Xing and Yin Lihua knelt down opposite Liu Xiu and Deng Chen.
