Chapter 475: Treasure
Chen Dingwei understood as soon as he heard it, Zhang Bao'er must have come to recruit an to persuade him to surrender, he "hummed" and said: "Zhang County Order, I received the surrender letter you sent, and I also wrote back to you, if you want me to surrender, there is no door, you can attack as you please." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info send-off! ”
Zhang Bao'er smiled slightly and said, "Leader Chen, it's not too late for you to listen to me first and then give an eviction order!" ”
"If you are so clever today, I will not be tempted."
"This county commander is self-aware, and knows that it is impossible to impress Leader Chen with a few words, and I came here to make a bet with you."
"Oh?" When Chen Dingwei heard this, he immediately became interested, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what kind of bet Zhang Xianling wants to make?" ”
Zhang Bao'er said: "Tomorrow I will send someone to pass through Shiren Mountain with treasures, if this person can successfully bring the treasures to the county office, you will lose; If you take it away, you win, how about it? ”
Zhang Baoer's bet is very novel, and Chen Dingwei has heard it for the first time.
However, Chen Dingwei did not rush to express his position, but asked quietly: "What if you win, what if you lose?" ”
"I am an official, you are a bandit, which dooms us to be enemies. You also know that if I get rid of the bandits in Qingyunzhai and Laoyeling, the next one will definitely take you under the knife. However, I've also heard that Leader Chen is different from other bandits, and I don't want you to end up with them. That's why I came up with such a bet! Speaking of this, Zhang Baoer said boldly: "If you win, I will never fight your idea again during my tenure; If you lose, you have to go to the county office and surrender. How is it? ”
Chen Dingwei lowered his head and thought about it, knowing that Zhang Baoer could make this bet, he must have some scheming, and the treasure would not be easy for him to get his hands on, but if he won the bet, he could exchange it for a few years of peace, and it was better than worrying all day long.
Chen Dingwei weighed it and agreed.
Zhang Bao'er stood up and said, "Okay, it's decided, tomorrow after sunset, you will come to the yamen to see me." ”
After that, Zhang Baoer got up and wanted to leave, but Chen Dingwei suddenly stopped him: "Slow, I don't know how much your treasure is worth?" I'm not going to shoot anything ordinary. ”
Zhang Baoer said ambiguously: "This thing is worth a lot of money, and for some people, it is even more priceless." ”
Chen Dingwei nodded, and asked uneasily: "If the person you sent out didn't have any treasures on them, but afterwards said that they were hidden deep and I didn't find out, wouldn't I have fallen for your way?" ”
Zhang Bao'er laughed and said: "Well said, I was about to tell you that the treasure brought by this person will definitely be seen by you with your own eyes, and the treasure will be brought under your nose." ”
Chen Dingwei frowned, and said secretly in his heart: This Zhang Bao'er is really arrogant, and he must get the treasure tomorrow.
In a blink of an eye, the next day, Chen Dingwei went down the mountain early in the morning to guard the intersection, and every time a pedestrian passed by, he had to personally search.
At noon, a middle-aged man walked slowly at the intersection.
Chen Dingwei led his brothers to block the intersection, and the man turned pale with fright, and shouted repeatedly: "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life!" ”
Chen Dingwei shouted: "As long as I don't kill people with money, what are you panicking about?" ”
He saw that the middle-aged man was carrying a tattered willow basket on his shoulder, and there was nothing else on his body, so he asked him what the basket contained.
The middle-aged man hurriedly put the basket down, and Chen Dingwei saw that there was a potted banyan tree inside.
The middle-aged man said in a trembling voice: "I am a flower farmer, a few days ago a family on the other side of the mountain ordered this pot of banyan trees, and I will send it over today." ”
Chen Dingwei looked at the pot of banyan trees carefully, and felt that everything was ordinary, so he nodded and motioned for the middle-aged man to leave.
The middle-aged man let out a long breath, picked up the basket and was about to leave.
At this moment, Chen Dingwei suddenly saw a few yellowing leaves sprinkled on the ground, and he wondered in his heart: this pot of banyan trees has been picked by people and should be strong and lush, but now the leaves of the banyan tree have withered and fallen off, which is really abnormal.
Thinking of this, Chen Dingwei chased forward and snatched the middle-aged man's basket.
The middle-aged man pleaded: "Good man, I am a poor man, and I have no other possessions around me except this potted tree." ”
Chen Dingwei didn't answer, and suddenly grabbed the whole tree, and sure enough, the banyan tree had no roots, no wonder the leaves would wither and yellow.
Chen Dingwei looked at the thick branches of the banyan tree, smiled coldly, took out a dagger, and cut the trunk open. But the trunks were solid, and there was nothing hidden in them.
Chen Dingwei was a little surprised, he looked at the flower pot again, and found that there seemed to be something buried in the pot, he took it out and saw that it was a fist-sized human-shaped He Shou Wu! That's right, cutting off the roots of the banyan tree is to hide this thing in a small pot.
At this time, the middle-aged man begged: "Please return He Shou Wu to me, this medicine will be sent to Qianzhuang to save people." ”
Chen Dingwei said disdainfully: "Those who can afford to eat this kind of He Shou Wu must be rich, and if you have money, are you afraid that you won't be able to buy other good medicines?" ”
The middle-aged man had no choice but to say: "Then I can only go and tell people to stop waiting and find another medicine quickly." ”
After speaking, the middle-aged man sighed and walked forward.
Chen Dingwei looked at the middle-aged man's back, and suddenly his heart moved, could it be that this middle-aged man was the person sent by Zhang Bao'er? He was the only one who could come up with such a tricky idea.
When I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt that my hand was sticky, and it turned out that He Shou Wu had broken a hole at some point, and the juice flowed out.
At this time, a brother named He San next to him shouted: "Chief, I think this piece of He Shou Wu is fake!" ”
Chen Dingwei was taken aback and hurriedly asked what was going on.
He San replied: "I have a friend in Langzhong, I heard him say that someone uses potatoes to pretend to be He Shou Wu, the two are similar in appearance, but the fake juice is crispy and the surface is smooth, and the surface of the real He Shou Wu is wrinkled. ”
Chen Dingwei was still puzzled: "If it is a potato, how can it grow into a human form?" ”
He Sandao: "When the potatoes are growing, put down the human-shaped brick mold, and it will look like this." ”
Chen Dingwei suddenly realized and shouted: "It's not good, the middle-aged man must have been sent by Zhang Bao'er, the withered banyan tree and the fake He Shou Wu are all maze laid by him, the real treasure is still on the middle-aged man, let's hurry up and chase it!" ”
Chen Dingwei led his subordinates to rush after him, turned a mountain col, and sure enough, he saw that the middle-aged man had changed his trembling appearance just now and was walking forward.
Chen Dingwei chased after him and blocked him, and when the middle-aged man saw Chen Dingwei, his face turned pale all of a sudden, and asked, "You have taken the treasure, what are you doing when you catch up?" ”
Chen Dingwei smiled slightly: "Zhang Xianling really has a plan, fortunately, there are many people around me, otherwise you will really let the golden cicada come out of its shell." ”
The middle-aged man knew that his identity had been exposed, and he didn't hide it, so he sighed and said: "Leader Chen is brave and strategic, and Shiren Mountain hides the dragon and crouching tiger, I really admire it." Leader Chen must have known what the real treasure was? ”
