Chapter 56: The Tide (1)
The seventeenth year of Yongping, October 16.
"Everyone, come on, today's Mingshe newspaper is distributed for free, everyone come and get it!"
Early in the morning, a young man waved a newspaper in his hand and shouted loudly on the street.
Then early in the morning, the small vendors who carried the burden and pushed the small cart, as well as the guys who had just opened the shop, the aunts who went out to buy vegetables, and the aunts and aunts rushed over.
"Where? Where? Give me a copy..."
"Quick, bring me one too..."
"Usually I don't want to buy it for a penny, but today it's good, it's free..."
Then the lively chattering of these small people in the market rang out all around.
The young man who was surrounded in the middle hurriedly took out a stack of newspapers from the basket with a smile, and distributed them to the people who came forward to receive them one by one, and said with a smile while distributing them: "Don't rob everyone, everyone has a share, our owner said, in order to repay everyone's love for the Ming She newspaper, every once in a while in the future, there will be some preferential activities, and the preferential activities to be issued in the future will be registered in the newspaper in advance." ”
"Bounty order?"
Someone who got the newspaper was the first to see what was on the headline.
The bounty order occupies the entire page, and in addition to the description of the reward, the heads of each of the eight people are printed underneath.
"Ten taels of silver?" Someone's eyes lit up.
Then the others who got the newspaper also saw it separately, and they all exclaimed.
The young man smiled and said: "Yes, everyone has also seen it, the eight people on this reward order are all wanted by the government, these important criminals are in Pingzhou City, the owner said, as long as someone can provide clues about these eight people, they will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, if someone can catch them, the reward will be one hundred taels, and the sponsor of these silver taels is the forester, as long as you take the clues to Qingjian Xilin Mansion outside the city, you can receive the bounty." ”
Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men.
This temptation is too great, and it is the news released by the Ming Society, and these ordinary people are convinced of it.
Although many people may be worried about having money to take and not being able to spend it, but with such a large population base in Pingzhou City, there are always people who are not afraid of death for the sake of silver.
This is exactly the effect Zhang Xiang wants.
At the same time, in all corners of Pingzhou City, similar scenes were also staged, and in less than a morning, this bounty order spread throughout the city.
At this time, Zhang Xiang was sitting in the study, looking at the same newspaper, nodding from time to time.
Zhao Hanyan, accompanied by the little slave, slowly walked in.
"Pony, this is your handiwork, right?" Zhao Hanyan asked softly.
Zhang Xiang got up and turned his head: "Princess, what do you think of this method?" ”
"It's good to lure the snake out of the hole, but don't you roast the forester's outer rack on the fire!" Zhao Hanyan shook his head slightly.
Zhang Xiang said: "Such a large bounty, where can we get it from the Horse Mansion, this forester is also a victim, I believe he is happy to pay this money, so next, I want the princess to accompany me to the palace, and borrow Yang to catch the head and some catch fast for the palace, this is not only to lure the snake out of the hole, but also to catch turtles in the urn, my net has been cast, just wait for the fish to take the bait." ”
Zhao Hanyan quickly understood what he meant, and nodded slightly with a smile: "This is what the government should do." ”
"The princess goes, Governor Zheng will feel more relieved, if I go alone, he may not believe me, and he will go to the official mansion." Zhang Xiang added.
……
In a secluded alley in Pingzhou City, a man in a straw hat pushed a cart of vegetables and hurried to the backyard of a farmhouse.
The man looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he pushed open the backyard door, hurriedly pushed the car in, and quickly closed the door.
After entering the courtyard, the man took off his straw hat and walked to one of the rooms with a solemn face.
At this time, in the middle of the room, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a scar on his face sit, on the left and right, there was a man and a woman casually playing with the weapons in their hands.
"Brother Shi, it's not good."
The man hurriedly spoke, and then handed over a newspaper in his hand.
Shi Guangshun glanced at it, and his face became solemn: "What is this Ming Society?" ”
The man said: "I don't know, I only know that it is a shop with a very good background, but where the shop is, not many people know, and I don't know who the person behind it is. ”
Shi Guangshun pondered: "The people on this reward order are all guests of the Xue family!" ”
The man nodded: "That's why I said, the big thing is not good, it was they who set fire to the Lin Mansion at the beginning, and the foresters didn't know how to find out about them, and put this bounty order on the newspaper of the Ming Society, and now, the whole city is looking for these people for the bounty." ”
Shi Guangshun sneered and stood up violently: "A small outsider dares to go against me, when I leave the city now, kill him." ”
Guan Sheng on the side hurriedly stood up, and his tone was tepid: "Shi Guangshun, you want to die, don't pull us along, can you get out of the city now?" Don't talk about this city gate, can you get out of this alley? The Pingzhou Mansion is looking for us every day, and you want to kill us when you show up, don't you? ”
Du Erniang over there giggled: "The most important thing is not the government, but the horse, there is the Flying Frost Sword Yuan Shen by his side, don't forget, that night the dragon on the rivers and lakes saw the old monster of the Divine Fist Tie Jiangli who appeared to save him, and was targeted by him, I don't know how we died, the four of us, it's best not to separate, only the group will not be broken by him one by one." ”
"Where's He Sinan?" Speaking of this, Shi Guangshun asked.
The man said: "I saw He Yingying go out this morning, and I didn't say where to go." ”
"He told me last night that he fell in love with a little girl from a good family, and he must have been thinking about how to get him back at night." Guan Sheng sat down.
"When have you been thinking about women, fuck it." Shi Guangshun couldn't help but scold.
Du Erniang then giggled: "Yo, it's not easy for Brother Shi, who is famous all over the world and has visited countless Qinglou, to say such a thing." ”
"Lao Tzu is on fire in his heart, don't gloat on the sidelines." Shi Guangshun glared at her.
Du Erniang snorted coldly, but she didn't dare to tease this manic mania again, for fear that he would do something irrational.
Guan Sheng pondered: "The top priority is to think about what to do next. ”
The man sighed softly: "Brother Shi, as far as I can see, let's find a chance to get out of the city first!" Otherwise, if those eight people are caught and confess to us, we will be in trouble. ”
"Where are they now?" Shi Guangshun asked.
The man hurriedly replied: "Some of them went outside the city to inquire about the news, and some of them are still hiding in the city, waiting for dispatch at any time." ”
Shi Guangshun's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness: "It's better to kill them all." ”
"Never." The man was taken aback: "Brother Shi, they are all guests of the Xue family, the Xue family was ordered to assist us in this mission, kill them, and it is not easy to deal with the Xue family when we go back!" ”
Shi Guangshun glared and said, "If you don't say it, I won't say it, how can the Xue family know that we killed it?" Let's just say that the horse killed it, the Xue family has no evidence, what can they do with us? ”
"Giggles..."Then Du Erniang laughed again: "So I said you, use more brains in doing things, you kill them, who will deliver the news to us?" Who will bring us food and drink? If we really kill them all, we will lose our eyes and ears, and we will have to stay here forever, unable to move an inch. And you can guarantee to kill them all? As long as one escapes, let's go back, and the Xue family will not be able to give up. You have the time to think of these stupid solutions, you might as well think of something else. ”
"You have a way, so what do you say? You can't sit still! Shi Guangshun became angry.
Guan Sheng, who was contemplative over there, finally raised his head: "To solve the problem, we have to start from the source, since this reward order was issued by this forester, then as long as we solve this forester, there will be nothing." ”
"How to solve it? We're stuck here now, and we can't go anywhere. Shi Guangshun snorted.
"Say you're a pig's brain." Du Erniang glanced at him: "We can't act, aren't there still Xue family Keqing!" Although their martial arts are mediocre, they are more than enough to deal with people like the forester, and it's a big deal, burn him again. ”
Guan Sheng nodded approvingly, and said to the man: "You go and contact the Xue family Keqing, and solve this surnamed Lin first, I believe they also know what to do." ”
The man nodded again and again: "I'll go now..."
