Chapter 39: The White Lotus's Letter
readx; A knight rode his horse through the alley outside the misty Xuanwu Gate, and finally stopped in front of a high mansion, confirmed the plaque on the mansion gate, got off his mount, tied the reins to the one-man high tethered horse stone, and then untied his coat and draped it on the back of the war horse, and carried a heavy burden up the steps and knocked on the knocker. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A gap opened in the side door, and the monkey's funny face squeezed out of the gap, and he looked at the knight and muffled, "Who is coming?" ”
The knight took off the hat on his head and arched his hand: "In Xia Tang Yan, I came to discuss some business matters with your mansion this time. ”
The monkey looked at the burden on Tang Yan's hand and smiled: "Yes, three heads, you have to get it, come in and talk." As he spoke, he opened the side door and invited Tang Yan to enter.
Tang Yan did not enter the house, but followed the monkey to a house on the edge of the gatehouse, this place was originally a place for the generals to drink tea and chat, recently the house is not peaceful, the eldest young master returned to the house with his family, and the second young master issued a chase and kill order, for the safety of the family, the generals have no leisure to drink tea and chat, so this room is vacant.
"Seeing that autumn is coming, the weather is going to be cooler after this rain, since they are all men who lick blood with knife heads, even if the tea is enough, it is better to drink wine to warm up the body."
The monkey took off his wine gourd and handed it to the man who entered the door, and the monkey thought that the person who could go after and kill the enemies of the Yun clan was a good person.
Tang Yan didn't shirk it, and after taking it, he took a big sip, and he couldn't get used to drinking Yun's spirits, so he choked and coughed fiercely several times, and finally suppressed the strength of the wine, and said with his thumb: "What a strong wine!" ”
The monkey didn't have time to discuss the quality of the wine with him, rubbed his hands and stared at the package that Tang Yan put on the low table and said, "Open it and take a look, as long as you verify the body, three hundred yuan of money and wealth will be offered with both hands, whether you want to hand over the child or not." Regardless of silver, even if it is copper coins, 300 guan can crush people. ”
Tang Yan opened the package, and inside were three human heads wrapped in oiled paper, and the monkey lifted the oiled paper off the human head and grabbed the hair on the human head. Arrange the three heads neatly on the table.
Then he pointed to the head of a person on the far left and said, "Where did you catch this Tangut man?" ”
Tang Yan smiled: "Michi! ”
The monkey arched his hand in admiration and said: "The iron harrier tin civet can also be hunted, Brother Tang is really a good man, Yunwen admires it so much." ”
Tang Yan got up and saluted: "Brother Yun praised it, in order to capture the thief of the tin beaver, Tang used the brothers of Jiushan and Seventeen Villages, and finally used his life to exhaust the thief, so he was dangerously captured and killed."
Don't hide it from Brother Yun, eleven brothers were killed in the battle of Michi Chailongzhai, and nine were injured. ”
The monkey gave a thumbs up and said, "Good man! At the beginning, the reward given by the second young master of my family was obviously not used on this guy, and after the eldest young master returned home, he laughed at my second young master for being too stingy. The reward of the iron harrier has been increased by five times, and the reward for the head of the tin beaver is now five hundred, I wonder if Brother Tang is still satisfied with this price? ”
Tang Yan heard the monkey say this, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Brother Yun Gaoyi, Tang has thanked the Hou Ye for the reward for the brothers of Jiushan and Seventeen Villages!" ”
The monkey smiled: "The brothers of Jiushan and Seventeen Villages are actually also members of our Jingxi Army, and the family does not speak two words, and now only the brothers of our Jingxi Army can do something." ”
As he spoke, he stared at the head of the person in the middle, and said with some interest: "I always don't like to see the heads of our Song people cut off, but the heads of these bastards don't cut off." It will plague a large number of people, needless to say. The head of Zuo Dashan, a civil official in Western Xia, was given 200 yuan, which was regarded as a reward for a bloody battle between the brothers. ”
Tang Yan was a little disappointed, but he immediately brought up the last woman's head and said, "Race Guanyin Wang Miao, the three masters of the White Lotus Society!" ”
The monkey mentioned the human head that no longer had any bright colors to look at, and smiled: "It's not very strange that the brothers of Jiushan and Seventeen Villages can kill the tin beaver and Zuo Dashan, but I'm afraid it's still a little difficult to kill the three masters of the White Lotus Society, right?" ”
Tang Yan said with a smile: "Brother Yun really sees thousands of miles. However, this head brother was not exchanged for money, but was entrusted by others and sent to the house on a special trip. ”
The monkey himself is the Yun family's chief steward of foreign affairs, specializing in dealing with these private matters, so he is very familiar with the dark corners of the army and the tricks of the Jianghu people.
Jiushan and Seventeen Villages are actually local armed organizations. It is not considered an army in the strict sense, and the basic force that constitutes the Jiushan and Seventeen Villages is the local regimental training, and these people are responsible for patrolling the township to protect the territory and the people on weekdays, and they are the main defenders of local law and order in the Great Song Dynasty.
However, these people have long since changed their taste, and most of the people who can serve as regimental training envoys are local squires, so the regimental training has become the representative of the interests of the local squires.
They travel extensively, not only trading with the government, but also with bandits, many times they eat at both ends, this time, this Tang Yan is probably the one who came to the Yun family to act as a lobbyist.
The monkey didn't believe that those local group drills could kill iron harriers like tin beavers, the fierce monkeys of the iron harriers had seen it with their own eyes, how could the combination of local group drills that could be defeated at the touch of a button could stop the iron harriers who lived in the army!
Eleven people lost and nine wounded? When did the local regimental training become so heroic and combative? Even if the forbidden army did not have gunpowder weapons, it was impossible to kill a battle-hardened iron harrier with only such a few casualties.
In the face of tigers, the number of sheep does not matter......
"Since the White Lotus Society has taken over the request of the Western Xia people to come to the capital to assassinate the second young master of my family, he should understand that only one Wang Miao's head is not enough."
The monkey looked at Tang Yan with a grin, there was an eighty percent chance that the Iron Harrier Tin Beaver and Zuo Dashan had died in the hands of the White Lotus Society.
Tang Yan said sincerely: "The leader of the White Lotus Society, Miaoyue Zhenren, entrusted me to express my great apologies to the Hou Ye, Wang Miao arranged for someone to assassinate the second son of Yunfu in the capital, and the White Lotus Society did not know about it, Miaoyue Zhenren was shocked after knowing this, and rushed to Tokyo from Yongzhou sleeplessly with the masters of the meeting overnight, and finally intercepted Wang Miao, who was preparing to defect from the White Lotus Society, in Mianchi County, and fought with the Xixia people in Xikun Mountain for more than ten days.
After paying a heavy price, he captured Wang Miao and killed the tin beaver, but the Western Xia envoy Han Huang had already escaped Yiluo under the strict protection of the other two iron harriers and forty-six Western Xia guards. ”
How could the monkey not understand the meaning of Tang Yan's words to excuse the White Lotus Society, he smiled and asked him to sit down for a while to serve tea, and went straight to the back hall.
Lao Liao was sitting behind a high desk, counting some accounts, when he saw the monkey walking in from outside the door, he put down the brush in his hand and asked, "This person brought three heads?" Tanguts? True or fake? ”
The monkey scurried up, sat on Lao Liao's special high table, took Lao Liao's brush and dipped it in ink to write on the table. Lao Liao's legs and feet are not suitable, especially on rainy days, it is itchy and unbearable, as long as at this time what he can do is to raise the table and chairs, and put an iron stove under it to bake, only in this way can his injured leg be better.
Lao Liao snatched the brush and said angrily: "What about you, are you deaf?" ”
The monkey said with a smile: "The three human heads are all real, and they are all important people, according to the pictures provided by Hua Niang, one is an iron harrier and a tin beaver, one is Zuo Dashan, the head of the household department of the Western Xia Kingdom, and the other is Wang Miao of the White Lotus Society." ”
Lao Liao was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you think it's possible?" ”
The monkey said indifferently: "Maybe, someone sent the real three human heads, I don't see anything wrong." ”
Lao Liao said thoughtfully: "If they send the head of a Xixia soldier, I still believe it, but I don't believe that they can send the head of an iron harrier and the head of a female bandit."
Don't tell me you don't know what Lang Lige is, and don't tell me that you don't know the methods of Maitreya Sect Demon Girl Liu Wenjing.
Who is Hou Ye, when he personally led the team to capture Liu Wenjing, he was also seriously injured, and after Liang Ji and Peng Jiu came back, there were basically no good pieces of meat in their bodies.
There must be something wrong with this! ”
The monkey raised his thumb high and kept dangling it under Lao Liao's nose, salivating and smiling: "It is worthy of being the big housekeeper of our family, and you can see at a glance that there is something wrong with people." People are not here to receive rewards, but to be lobbyists for the people of the White Lotus Society.
They said that when Wang Miao took on the task of assassinating the second young master, it was out of selfishness, and it was definitely not the idea of the White Lotus Society, and as soon as the big leader of the family, Miaoyue Zhenren, heard that Wang Miao had done this in Tokyo, he ran from Yongzhou to Tokyo overnight, and finally intercepted Wang Miao in Xikun Mountain in Mianchi, and finally killed Xili and Wang Miao and Zuo Dashan after paying a heavy price.
People sent their heads to ask for sin, hoping that our family can let the White Lotus Club go! ”
Lao Liao sneered and said; "Wang Miao is something, that Miaoyue real person is a thing, the lives of the two of them are not as important as a single hair of the second young master, the assassination on the Fan Tower, if it weren't for the second young master's thorough preparation, maybe it would really be successful, and at that time, I, the big housekeeper, would have no face to live in this world.
Wanting to exchange a few worthless heads for the Yun family's forgiveness is simply a joke. ”
Lao Liao picked up the pen and recorded a few strokes in the ledger, then took out two gold-edged Jiaozi from the drawer and threw them to the monkey and said, "Go and settle the account!" ”
The monkey smiled and picked up Jiaozi and kissed it on the mouth, and then went to find Tang Yan leisurely. (To be continued.) )
