The moat is just outside the city wall in the south. It encircles most of pingkang city. The current is fast. The narrowest part of the whole river is ten feet long. It is a natural barrier and the mother river that feeds most of the city's population.
Because the land in pingkang city is not fertile and can't grow any food, most families in the city catch shrimp and fish in the river.
The fish caught in this river are fat and delicious. They can be sold at a good price when transported to several nearby cities. They also buy food from the fish money and take it home.
Many people live a rich life by fishing. This is the case with the third Zhuang. He has caught fish in the river for nearly ten years. Now he has seven fishing boats in his hand and invited many people to fish for him. His family has built a big house and married a beautiful young daughter-in-law
If this man is busy, he has been stable at home for a period of time, and his hands itch again. He wants to go down to the river and get two more.
On this day, Zhuang Laosan took the fishing net, went down to the river, observed for a long time, saw a torrent, and immediately threw the net out with all his strength.
This net was specially modified by Zhuang Laosan. It added lead and lengthened the rope, so he can catch deeper than other people's nets.
Sure enough, after casting the first net, there were many harvests, including some fish that were difficult to see, and there were many fewer fish in the second net. When preparing to cast the third net, Zhuang Laosan suddenly saw something hanging on the fishing net. When he took it off, he saw that it was a piece of iron, and it didn't feel like a common thing, so he took it to the blacksmith's shop, I want to give my daughter-in-law a hairpin.
But the old fellow Smiths threw the iron plate into the fire for a long time. What he meant was that he didn't mean to melt. He picked up the hammer and knocked it two times. It was not damaged at all. He had to take the iron back to his home and asked him to see what it was.
Five days later, old Zhuang ran around every day to find out what this piece of iron was, but no one told him what it was. Old Zhuang felt more and more that it was extraordinary and regarded it as a treasure given to him by God. He had nothing to do every day, but he didn't know that he had been watched
At noon that day, after eating, old Zhuang took out the iron sheet and played it carefully in his hand. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Only when his wife came back from shopping, old Zhuang immediately got up and opened the door. He found that the people standing outside the door didn't know him, but they looked rich. He asked suspiciously, "who are you? What's the matter?".
"My name is Lin Nan. I heard that Mr. Zhuang has a strange thing in his hand. I like this kind of strange thing most. I come here to watch it and hope Mr. Zhuang's permission," Lin Nan said gently.
Zhuang Laosan was also interested, thinking that this man might be able to tell the origin of the iron piece, so he invited Lin Nan to go inside
Just after the two entered the house, on a teahouse not far from the door, Emperor Xinchen, who was sitting on the second floor near the window, hooked up slightly
"Finally hooked"
Five days ago, Emperor Xinchen guessed the origin of the iron piece after hearing the iron piece described by Wu Wei.
It's the rune money you're looking for!
But emperor Xinchen also knew that it was not only himself who was looking for the rune money, but also the Zerg were looking for this thing, although they didn't know what use they had with the rune money.
Therefore, Emperor Xinchen was not in a hurry to find a way to get the token money, but waited!
Yes, Emperor Xinchen has been waiting for five days. If there are Zerg in pingkang City, they will definitely come to get the rune money. They just need to wait for the Zerg people to take the bait. Even if there are no Zerg here, it's not too late to exchange the rune money.
"Mr. Lin, it's this piece of iron. I wonder if you can tell what it is?" said Zhuang Laosan and handed it to Lin Nan.
At the moment of seeing the iron sheet, Lin Nan showed an imperceptible light in his eyes. He reached out and took the iron sheet. After pretending to observe it, he slowly said, "Mr. Zhuang, I don't know what it is, but it seems to be of no other use except hard.".
"Yes, I calcined it in a blacksmith's stove for a long time, but I couldn't melt it," replied Zhuang Laosan. A little disappointed inside.
"Mr. Zhuang, I don't think so. It's useless to you. I also like to collect such strange things. I'll give you a thousand gold coins and you can sell it to me?" Lin Nan said slowly.
My heart is already in full bloom. My Lord gave himself 10000 gold coins and asked him to buy this thing from the third man of the village. But now if I can sell this thing to myself with 1000 gold coins, the remaining 9000 gold coins. Hey, there are many things in human beings. It's still very good, such as Xiao Fang who entertained me last time
"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry. I'm not going to sell this thing," said Zhuang Laosan, reaching out to get his iron piece back. Now I'm not short of money. Although I don't know the origin of this thing, it's good to just hold it in my hand. All Zhuang Laosan want to keep it with him.
The expression on Lin Nan's face suddenly froze. Seeing that he couldn't deceive Zhuang Laosan, he didn't care that the boss repeatedly told him not to expose his identity, not to use all his abilities, and not to attract other people's attention.
In his opinion, the adult is too careful. As long as he controls Zhuang Laosan's mind, he can not only make him hand over the token money obediently, but also save the 10000 gold coins, which is enough for him to spend a long time.
Immediately, Lin Nan decided not to install it. He was going to have a showdown.
"Mr. Zhuang, look into my eyes.".
Zhuang Laosan immediately felt like he was enchanted. He couldn't help raising his head and looking into Lin Nan's eyes
Lin Nan's eyes flashed red, and Zhuang Lao San's eyes gradually blurred. Finally, he sat in a chair and hung his outstretched hand in the air.
"Go back to bed and forget what happened today," Lin Nan said faintly.
As soon as the voice fell, old Zhuang stood up and walked rigidly into the house
"Human beings are really fragile," Lin Nan said to himself. When he put away the money and was about to get up, a cold voice suddenly remembered.
Yes, human beings are indeed vulnerable.
"Who?" Lin Nan was surprised and looked around in a panic. This man could appear around him without his awareness. His strength was much stronger than himself. Fortunately, the ability he had just used could not expose his identity.
The figure of emperor Xinchen slowly appeared in front of Lin Nan, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be in a good mood.
"What's the matter here?" Lin Nan asked carefully.
