Chapter 254: Fished Out
Ah, look! Fairchild is coming! โ
"It's Fairchild! Fairchild is coming! โ
Shen Shu followed everyone's gaze and looked at the high slope-
I saw two teams of Qi brushing, about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a jade-colored Shangqing hibiscus crown, wearing a moon-white inlaid stone and blue-edged robe, holding a dust, and covering their faces with white gauze, I don't know where to come out, and they are slowly walking towards the high slope.
Because they were walking from the bottom of the slope to the top of the slope, although the speed was very slow, the pace was very gentle and elegant, as if they were pacing in the air.
Those teenagers were none other than Feiyun, Feiyu, and ...... Those who were temporarily brought in by them - the shadow guards who were ordered to guard outside the county lord's mansion a few days ago.
Even though Shen Shu already knew what they looked like today, she was still very surprised when she saw it at first glance.
She originally only let Feiyun and them, pretending to be Taoist teenagers passing by here.
But today, I look at it like this-
No wonder these people, a "fairy child" on the left and a "fairy child" on the right.
This moon-white robe, coupled with a covered white veil, is almost the same height as a dozen people, and there is really a feeling of a fairy robe fluttering and a fairy child descending to earth.
Shen Shu could see that the two people in the lead were Feiyun and Feiyu.
And the shadow guards behind them, in pairs and twos, carried a large bamboo basket with ropes.
Inside the bamboo basket, it can be seen to the naked eye that there are stacks of broken silver like a hill.
The silver, shining brightly in the morning light, made the eyes of the people standing by the lake below the slope straighten.
"Silver, that's all silver......"
"A silver tael, how many baskets are there......"
"......Shh This silver is only a part, you see the few boats parked in the lake, all of them are full of silver, as long as you fish out things in the lake according to the place pointed out by the fairy child, you can exchange them for silver on those boats! โ
These words quickly spread among the crowd, and the restless voices of the people were endless.
"Dash...... Da ...... Da ......"
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was suddenly heard in the distance.
Shen Shu followed the sound and turned his head to look, and from a distance, he saw more than a dozen officials from Jingzhao Mansion, galloping towards this side.
It's time.
"Quick! Look! Fairchild shows the way! โ
With this sound in the crowd, the crowd by the lake immediately boiled.
Shen Shu followed everyone's gaze and looked towards the top of the high slope-
Feiyun, who took the lead, turned around in a big circle at the top of the slope, and suddenly used the dust whisk in his hand to point to the water area below the slope cliff!
He used enough internal strength, and even if the clear voice was so far away, it clearly reached everyone's ears.
"Here, the injustice is very heavy, and whoever salvages things here, there are a total of 10,000 taels of silver on two boats in the lake, and everyone has a share."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was neutral and gasping sounded one after another.
"Ten thousand taels of silver!"
"There are 10,000 taels of silver, and everyone has a share!"
The shadow guards behind Feiyun carried the bamboo basket gracefully and walked to the edge of the cliff.
Their wide sleeves, waving in the morning breeze, grabbed the silver from the bamboo basket one by one, and threw it towards the place where the clouds were blowing!
The people under the high slope were all boiling when they boarded!
"Silver! Ah! It's all silver! Jump into the water and you'll be able to catch money! โ
"Hurry up and get it! Hurry up! That's all silver! Fished out something and 10,000 taels of silver! โ
I don't know who shouted this in the crowd, and the people of the entire lake all threw themselves into the lake like dumplings.
As soon as they entered the water, they swam towards the place where the flying clouds were pointing!
Fortunately, Shen Shu was prepared and chose to stand in the direction of the boulder with his back.
Otherwise, you have to be dragged into the lake by this boiling crowd!
However, with a cup of tea, the crowd that was originally standing densely on the lakeside all entered the water.
There were only a few women and children left on the shore who couldn't swim in the water, as well as Shen Shu, who was hiding behind a boulder, and the officials who rushed to the lakeshore on horseback.
The officials of Jingzhao Mansion dismounted and were dumbfounded when they saw the crowd floating on the water in the lake, with white flowers and shoulders exposed.
I thought that there were people gathering to make trouble on the shore of this blue lake.
But I didn't think about it...... Jumping into the water as dumplings?
The servants hurriedly asked the women and children on the shore about the situation, and their jaws were almost shocked to the ground.
"Hey, in the past, there were also families in the capital who held happy events and threw money on the street. But they were all sprinkled with copper coins. Like this...... Sprinkled silver directly into the water, but never! I'm afraid these people are crazy. โ
"It's very strange, aren't all Taoist priests coming down the mountain from fate, when did these outsiders become so rich?!"
"I don't know which Taoist temple is engaged in this kind of gimmick early in the morning...... Boss, let's take care of this? If not, can I take a leave of absence......"
"Boss, I want to take a leave of absence too."
"Me, and me!"
The officials were babbling as they craned their necks to look into the lake.
Their monthly income was only two taels of silver, and their hearts were dripping blood when they saw the young men on the top of the slope still throwing silver into the water.
The leader of the head catcher, who has always been dignified, heard the words, his face sank: "Whoever dares to ask for leave today, I will immediately report to Jing Zhaoyin, and all of them will be dismissed and investigated!" โ
As soon as the words fell, a burst of excited shouting suddenly came from afar:
"There's a wagon at the bottom of this lake, and dead people!"
"Come and help! The carriage is too heavy! The corpse was sealed in the carriage and could not be fished out! โ
This is exactly the shouting of the first few people who swam to the place and plunged into the lake, diving around the bottom of the water and reaching the surface of the water.
As these words fellโ
Usually, when they hear the "carriage" and the "dead man", the people who are so frightened that they turn around and run away, just like winning the jackpot, plunge their heads and dive into the water!
And on the lakeside, the originally hesitant head catcher, when he heard this, his eyes lit up.
"There are murders! Brothers, hurry over! 10,000 taels of silver! That's 10,000 taels of silver! For the sake of money, we have to do this errand too!" โ
The head catcher roared, completely lost the weight of the square, took off his official boots and plunged into the water, swimming towards the crowded place.
Other Officers: ......
They hurried to follow them, and the speed was simply staggering.
Shen Shu took out the insect whistle used to communicate between the shadow guards from his sleeve, and blew it twice.
The flying clouds and flying feathers on the top of the slope, hearing this, took advantage of everyone's attention to leave the scene quietly while they were on the lake.
About half an hour passed.
The carriage that sank to the bottom of the water was dragged to the bank of the river by the people who went into the water to make money.
And it was precisely in this half an hour that more people in the capital heard the wind of "fairy children coming to the world, scattering silver", and rushed towards the shore of Bibo Lake.
Because of this, after the carriage in the water came ashore, along with the dozen or so officials and the two boats of ten thousand taels of silver, they were heavily surrounded in the middle of the crowd.
There are countless pairs of eyes, and they saw the family emblem of the Xiao family of the Chengen Mansion on the carriage, which was eye-catching and conspicuous that it was impossible to ignore.
and the novice in the carriage, dressed in the clothes of a servant of the Cheng'en Mansion, who had been dead barehead for a long time, but his body was not decomposed or deformed at all......
