Chapter 27 Calculation of Wen Han
Guan Yu waved his face, didn't say anything, and sat aside. Wen Han told Zhou Long what happened today. Zhou Long was full of cold sweat. For ordinary people like him, the Runan Yuan family is heaven. Not to offend them, he is not even qualified to talk to them.
"Oh! Brother, why are you so impulsive? What on earth is your courage made? It is so hard. I just offended the 'Cui family' of the rich people in this county, and now I have offended the Yuan family in Runan! You! You! You! Hurry up and apologize to your brother to the Yuan brothers, otherwise when they hurt you, you won't even have a chance to beg for mercy!"
Zhou Long looked anxious and took Wen Han's hand to go out.
"Brother! Why are you so afraid of things? Then Runan Yuan's dog looks down on people and looks at me as an ant. Now, you still have to wag your tail in front of them and beg for mercy. Are you really a low-class person as Yuan Highway said?
Guan Yu stood up and shouted loudly. Zhou Long's body trembled suddenly, turned around, and pointed to Guan Yu angrily with a red face and said, "Do I want to shake my tail and beg for mercy? Do you know? How powerful is the Yuan family in Runan? Four generations and three princes, others can kill extraordinary lives if they give instructions casually! Other people's family is so powerful, what can I take to fight against it!!!"
Guan Yu and Zhou Long were arguing angrily, but Wen Han closed his eyes and quietly listened to them arguing. This disturbance attracted Lin, Li Qiang and Pei Yuanshao.
"Enough! Shut up!" Wen Han suddenly shouted loudly and immediately stopped the two people. Everyone present looked at Wen Han.
"We come from a humble background. The rich family despised us, all because of our weakness. Because of this, I have to work together, be angry, and accumulate. In this world, the number of rich families is far smaller than that of poor people. Why can the rich family control the world?
It is because the poor people are afraid of the rich family and are willing to accept their fate. In their minds, they think that the rich family is not hostile! But I believe that people will win the sky! Although I am weak, I am not willing to accept my fate and am played with applause by the rich family! My life is in my heart, and I want everyone to be like a dragon and control their own destiny.
This is my grand wish, and for this reason, even if it is crushed, I will not hesitate!"
After Wen Han said this, he left freely.
There was silence in the hall, and there was something in Wen Han's words. Those who make a grand wish are mostly those who can change the dynasty. Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang looked at each other and smiled. They saw that their masters had great ambitions, which was their blessing. Although Wen Han is now only a trivial existence for those rich families.
However, Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang, who have experienced the Battle of Black Wind and the Battle of Huang Le, know that Wen Han has great ability. Therefore, they both believe in Wen Han. This trust is really killed.
As for Guan Yu and Zhou Long, they stood quietly for a while and left separately. Both of them have different minds and are thinking about it.
Zhou Long knew that Wen Han had always had great ambition and was ready to help him, but every time Wen Han provoked a big man, he caught Zhou Long off guard.
Zhou Long is the kind of person who thinks badly and is pessimistic. Zhou Long's pessimism is entirely because of his inferiority complex. He often thinks that he has no ability. Once he encounters a problem, he immediately feels that the sky is going to fall. Wen Han knows his character. Today's words are about to wake up Zhou Long.
And Guan Yu, he appreciates Wen Han. But it is only limited to appreciation. Wen Han's words have the taste of looking for like-minded people to complete their great wishes together. Guan Yu heard it, but did not say that he should be observing Wen Han in his heart.
After a few days in a row, Zhou Long locked himself in his room for the rest of the time except for working in the county government. Wen Han once asked Lin, and Lin answered with a smile. It is said that Zhou Long is reading books in the room. In order to strengthen himself, don't be a lowly person at the mouth of Yuan Highway. Wen Han was very gratified to see that Zhou Long was willing to strengthen himself.
There are still two or three days before the horse hanging competition. Lin is very busy. Even if Wen Han ordered Li Qiang and Cheng Dong, two people who once managed the gambling house, to help, they were still very busy. Lin's statistics on the parameters. The number of low-level participants is about 3,000. Except for 1,000 people in the county, the others are gamblers gathered from various counties. Most of the mid-range participants are merchants in various counties, with a total of more than 500 people. Finally, there is the high-end area. Because some rich people have visited Lin in person, they require that the number of people in this high-end area must be limited and their identity must be strictly checked. Therefore, after a round of screening, the number of participants in the high-end area is only about 60.
Because Wenhan's courtyard is not convenient to be used as a venue, Lin bought a house in Xie County, which was decorated. Lin spent a lot of money to divide three different areas in the house. The more high-end the area, the more luxurious the decoration is.
However, the number of participants in this low-end area far exceeds Lin's expectations and can't accommodate so many people. Wen Han suggested that Lin's meeting be held in a few days, which solved this problem. In order to avoid the participants and don't understand the rules, Wen Han will have to cheat on the debts. Let Lin insert a board in the venue, and the boards are engraved with rules.
Four participants are one table and ten games are held. After ten games, the one who wins the most money is the winner of the first round, and the rest are eliminated. The winners of the first round at each table will gather four people to hold the second round. After ten games, the winner of the second round will be determined. From this cycle, the remaining four contestants will be eliminated, and the last ten games will be played to determine the ranking.
These four contestants, after the ranking, won the prize money and can directly advance to the mid-range area and then compete. The rules of the mid-range area are the same as those of the low-range area. After the first four, you will be promoted to the high-end area. Finally, in the high-end area, the person who won the final competition was given the name of "horse hanging" given by the county magistrate Yang Hong.
Regarding the horse hanging competition, Wen Han did not intervene too much, but only guided Lin Shi, Li Qiang and Cheng Dong. In my spare time, I am doing training.
However, a few days ago, Wen Han invited a group of blacksmiths, about 20 or 30 people, and arranged for them to live in the farm. Then, according to their wishes, some useless rooms were transformed into blacksmith's houses.
These people, Wen Han, have been secretly investigated. They are all blacksmiths who have nothing to do with the rich family. Wen Han handed them the scroll with the saddle and the saddle and strictly asked them not to reveal it. When these blacksmiths looked at the drawings, they were shocked and knew that this matter was of great importance. At present, they should keep it a secret and began to make it.
In Yang Hong's mansion.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Xu You sat in the main hall of Yang's mansion respectively. Yang Hong smiled and carefully served the three princes. In addition to Xu You, the two Yuan brothers are more noble than Yang Hong in terms of their status and Yang Hong's official position. In order to keep the black gauze hat on his head, Yang Hong did not dare to offend him.
"Yang Hong. Say it again. Who invented this hanging?
Yuan Shu's face was gloomy, and a pair of poisonous eyes stared at Yang Hong.
"If you go back to Lord Yin, this horse is the invention of Wen Han and Wen extraordinary."
Yang Hong sweated heavily and nodded and bowed in response.
Pup!
Yuan Shu suddenly slapped the tea table and stood up.
"How can it be so extraordinary! It's really haunting and annoying!"
Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and remembered the poems recited by Wen Han in Wangyue Tower that day, and he was full of fire!
"Oh. Brother Shu, don't be angry." When Yuan Shao saw that Yuan Shu was about to run away, he quickly persuaded him, and then turned his head to Yang Hong and said, "It's a horse hanging invented by Wen Buchang. Why did I hear that the owner of the gambling house holding the horse hanging competition this time is He Zhubo's adjutant 'Zhou Long' and Zhou Zidan?
Seeing that Yuan Shu was angry, Yang Hong couldn't help but thump. He listened to Yuan Shao's question and carefully answered, "Your excellency doesn't know anything. Wen Han was originally hunted down by his enemies, but he narrowly escaped and was rescued by Zhou Long. The two are brothers and sisters. So..."
"All's it. I understand." Yuan Shao shook his hand and interrupted Yang Hong's words. After pondering for a while, he said, "We are the fourth young master of Luoyang, under the order of General He. Come here to find the inventor of the horse hanging, invite him to Luoyang, and give him a chance to be rich.
However, Wen Han is a little talented and rude to us, and I'm very bored. I don't know what Mr. Yang Hong has in mind. Can he relieve my frustration?
Yuan Shao's words did not hide his dissatisfaction with Wen Bufan. After hearing this, Yang Hong guessed that Wen Han must have offended the two Yuan brothers. Now the Yuan brothers not only don't want to give the wealth that originally belonged to Wen Han, but also want to secretly kill Wen Han.
"The article is extraordinary, don't blame my county magistrate. Blame yourself for not offending the people you can't offend.
Yang Hong secretly slandered and said from his heart, "This horse hanging is first popular in Xie County. It can be said that all the people in this county are extremely proficient in this. The county magistrate can find someone to order him to be the inventor of the horse hanging and give him a fortune.
As for Wenhan, he is bold and dares to speak rudely to adults. This man must be the villain. However, Wen Han is a bully in the county, with 500 private soldiers in his hands, all of whom are extremely fierce. If troops were sent to attack his courtyard, there would be countless casualties. The status of Lord Yuan Shao and Lord Yuan Shu is so noble. They had a dispute with Wenhan the day before yesterday. If Wenhan suspects the adult brother, it will be bad if he talks nonsense and hurts the adult's reputation.
"Good! No wonder this article is so arrogant that he, he, he has private soldiers! I will immediately send the generals Lei Bo and Chen Lan to kill him!"
Actually, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is not uncommon for non-court officials to have private soldiers, diners and staff, but they are generally rich families or businessmen with financial resources. The court knew that these scholars gathered private soldiers, diners and staff to protect their family business. At that time, the scholars were powerful, so they could only turn a blind eye.
Yuan Shu stared and was about to call someone. At this time, Yuan Shao stopped him and said, "Brother Shu, don't be impulsive. The red-faced man who came with Wen Bufan that day had extraordinary martial arts. Moreover, if we want to be extraordinary, it is inconvenient for us to show up. Let's listen to the clever plan of Yang County Magistrate first.
Yuan Shu listened to Yuan Shao's words and suppressed his thoughts. He snorted coldly and didn't want to lose face, and then he put on his face.
