Chapter 726: Bounty
Suddenly, in the confusion, someone said something to offer a reward, and the people didn't care to scold him, and asked the person what the reward was and how much it was.
The man said, the beautiful county ordered a reward of 2,000 taels of silver to find the Qin family, as well as her in-laws and uncles, "Those who provide information will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver." ”
After everyone listened, a new round of heated discussions was set off: some people calculated to make this windfall, and some people scolded Mei Zihan for doing evil.
"How can I get two thousand?"
"Someone has to be found!"
"Then if I get the news and go and tell the yamen, and when the yamen sends people to arrest them, they run away again, then how will this reward be calculated?"
"Oh, you're asking so finely, it's like you know where they are! I don't know. I'm not from the Yamen. You might as well ask the fire county order. Oh, she's still there! ”
"Iniquity! Poor Qin. ”
"It's all surnamed Mei! In order to frame Lord Huo, saying that she had made the wrong decision, she didn't care about the Qin family's life and death, and slandered others for fornication. ”
"Why are her in-laws confused and making trouble?"
"That's right, it's a mess, lose the face of the Zhou family, and tell your children and grandchildren to behave?"
"You don't know, the Qin family saved a lot of money without hiding from their in-laws, and the old couple of the Zhou family wanted to pinch their daughter-in-law, so they helped their younger son bully his sister-in-law."
"Isn't he wanting to marry his uncle?"
"Isn't it!"
"I saw it last time."
"It's a brute, too!"
"What a brute!"
……
Outside the crowd, Huo Huangying stood on the street with sad eyes, making a gesture of being let down as a resentful woman. With this gesture, she aroused the public anger of women, and also aroused the sympathy and protection of men, and successfully made Mei Zihan suffer the humiliation of Ling Chi. But she didn't give up - the weak are sympathetic, she is not the weak; Besides, how long can this sympathy last? Now these people sympathize with her, and after a while, they will look down on her. Therefore, after showing weakness, she wants to stand up!
First, she had to find the Qin family.
Qin's case is the first case she has entered the official trial, and it must not be buried in the hands of Mei Zihan, for the sake of Qin's family, and for herself, she wants to overturn the case again and regain her own honor and dignity.
Secondly, she wants to go through all the cases that Mei Zihan has tried from the beginning. She didn't believe it: this person will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, and he will not hesitate to frame the innocent, will there be no loopholes in the trial case? As long as an unjust case can be found, Mei Zihan will be completely finished. Although he is now down, there are still people who think about him, especially those who have been released from the dungeon by him, who may think that he has been wronged and are secretly plotting to save him. Hmph, she's going to cut him off from all life!
Just thinking about it, suddenly Jin'er called out, "My lord." ”
The fire phoenix asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Jin'er raised her chin and signaled, "Miss Li is here." ”
Huohuang Ying hurriedly followed her gaze, and sure enough, Li Hanyao and the others were coming here, and they couldn't help but light up and hurriedly greeted her.
Li Hanyao looked at Huo Huangying, and saw that her eyes were peaceful, with neither violent anger nor complaint, her heart was slightly wider, and she asked with a smile: "What are you doing here?" ”
Huo Huang Ying said: "It's a reward." ”
Li Hanyao hurriedly asked, "What's the reward?" ”
Huo Huangying told him about finding the Qin clan.
Li Hanyao immediately understood her deep meaning, and immediately said: "Two thousand taels is too little, you immediately issue a notice: offer a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, find and arrest the Zhou family and the Qin family." Hmph, they must still be in the territory of Xiazhao! ”
Huohuang Ying said happily: "Yes, girl." ”
Wei Fengju tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "I'm afraid that this surnamed Zhou never dreamed that he would be worth so much silver." ”
Li Hanyao said: "It's not that the Zhou family is worth a lot of money, it's that Lord Huo's official reputation is worth a lot, far more than 10,000 taels!" But a reward of 10,000 is enough, and there is no need to waste it. After that, the other party reluctantly said: "You send someone to find it again, and announce this reward in the barracks." I'll give you a clue: you told people to go out of the city and look for it in the suburbs. ”
Fang Mian said, "Yes, aunt." ”
He glanced at Huo Huangying, and was a little unconvinced: the woman who was rolling in the dust was deceived by a scholar who had just entered the office, so useless, and I didn't know what my aunt liked about her, and spared no effort to protect her.
He had the same idea as Wei Fengju.
At that moment, Huo Huangying and Fang Mian both ordered to go down, and soon the reward notices were posted on the streets and alleys, and suddenly the people went crazy, except for the rich who didn't care about the ten thousand taels, those ordinary people all wanted to make this windfall, and they all sharpened their heads to look for clues, and some even sent out their families.
********
Li Hanyao and Luo Wuchen were rowing by boat to the Li family's courtyard in Xinghua Lane, Fang Mian sent two boats to follow them to escort them, and Hu Qingfeng took the rattan armor army to guard on the shore and pay close attention to the surroundings.
This year, the weather in the south of the Yangtze River is warm, and it is only late March, and there are already many tender lotuses standing on the water surface of Tianhu Lake, showing the style of "small lotus only shows sharp corners". Because it is evening, countless birds and birds return to their nests, chirping and chirping resounding through the lake and willow forests, and the setting sun shines obliquely on the lake, dyeing the blue water of the lake red.
Li Hanyao and Luo Wuchen stood side by side on the bow of the painting boat, watched the evening view of Tianhu, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "I went to the northwest and came back to see the scenery of our water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which is particularly cordial and beautiful." ”
Luo Wuchen felt that the word "we" was particularly pleasant and intimate, which shortened the distance between them. He smiled and said: "It's also a good season, it's the time when the spring flowers are blooming, and the blooming flowers are incomparable to other places." ”
Li Hanyao said: "That's not the case, the snow scene is also beautiful in winter." - I remember them all. Seeing that he was wearing black clothes, he changed his words and said, "Brother Wuchen, why are you wearing black clothes?" But you look good in black, and your elegant posture is undiminished, adding to the solemn ......"
Luo Wuchen saw her looking him up and down closely, and the feeling of being noticed made him very happy, and explained, "In order to track down the whereabouts of Lord Huo, I had to hide my whereabouts. Brother Fool has always worn white, which is too eye-catching, so he changed to black. ”
Li Hanyao said: "Brother who has worked hard and has no dust. ”
Luo Wuchen said: "What is this." You've worked so hard, you've traveled thousands of miles in two months, and you've done those things......"
Hearing this, Li Hanyao's thoughts drifted away all of a sudden, and her eyes also drifted, floating on the new lotus coming out of the lake in general, and the sound of water, birdsong and wind was filtered in her ears, echoing the whisper of a person.
Luo Wuchen looked at her quietly.
Until Xinghua Lane, Li Hanyao still did not come back to her senses, and under the traction of Tingqin, she followed Luo Wuchen ashore, entered the Li family's courtyard, and came to the Moon Viewing Tower.
Luo Wuchen said: "Let's sit here." ”
He sat down at the stone table under the grape trellis.
Li Hanyao replied casually: "Hmm." ”
Tingqin hurriedly motioned to the little maid to bring a cushion and put it on the stone bench, and then helped Li Hanyao to sit, and then boiled water to make tea.
Dustless and noisy Li Hanyao, please ask the little maid to hold the piano, bow her head and stroke the piano, the faint sound of the piano is combined with the fragrance of birds and flowers, which is natural.
The twilight is thick, and the piano stops.
Li Hanyao moved.
Suddenly, Luo Wuchen said: "Wang Na should be unwilling to detain you." The foolish brother thinks that you can get out of the capital smoothly because he deliberately connived. ”
