Volume 2 Two Shifts and Drums: The Spring of the Teaching Workshop is Deep, and the Wind and the Moon are Strong Chapter 173 The reward is finally a letter

?±22222 Chai Rong's death brought an unprecedented impact to Zhao Kuangyin. There are orphans and widows in the court, and he has a heavy army, so he has no idea at all. It's impossible. His courage and resourcefulness turned into ambition almost overnight. It becomes not his place. It's someone else's place.

Before, he was pressed by the emperor Chai Rong, and Chai Rong was the master of hard work, he would only have the grace of meeting Bole, and he didn't dare to think about anything. But once Chai Rong fell, he suddenly found that in the entire court, except for those Wenchen who could only grind their mouths, he was standing in the center. A sentence from his confidant Zhao Pu: "Why not replace it?" It made Zhao Kuangyin's already impatient heart even more impatient.

But what worries him the most now is that although there are many cronies in the court, the troops under his command can never be held by himself all the time, and there is always a moment when they need to be dispatched. But at this sensitive moment, he did not dare to hand over a soldier to others, he could not be sure who would suddenly turn against him, and then he would be defeated. in this world. The only person he could trust was only one, but that person didn't know where to run away with that Nantang woman now. Zhao Kuangyin was very annoyed when he thought of this, and he couldn't wait to get Zhao Kuangyi back immediately.

Nothing was left to do before, now. He was desperately needed for him. Zhao Pu saw Zhao Kuangyin's anxiety, and offered advice on the side: "Why don't you get the young general back?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin stroked his forehead: "Can you find it back and still use it now?" Both times let him escape. ”

Zhao Pu had also heard about Zhao Kuangyi before, but he was the secretary in charge of Songzhou before, and it was not until after Chai Rong's death that Zhao Pu was urgently summoned back by Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Pu is resourceful and sensitive, which can just make up for Zhao Kuangyin's impatience. Zhao Pu smiled: "Under the heavy reward." There will be brave men. Why not offer a big bounty? ”

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned: "He's not a suspect." How to place a bounty. ”

Zhao Pu waved his hand and said: "In addition to rewarding the suspect, you can also offer a reward." It is also common to spend a lot of money to seek famous doctors and find pairs. Just saying that Mrs. Du is seriously ill is the best reason. ”

Zhao Kuangyin thought about it and nodded: "Okay, I can only try it like this." "I want to say that my mother is seriously ill, even if Kuang Yi sees the list of texts, he will come back to Kaifeng for a trip.

The reward was sent out for half a month, but there was no response. After all, the list can only be posted in the territory of the Great Zhou, but not in the territory of Wu Yue or the Southern Tang Dynasty. The people in Yunwan Village couldn't see the list text. There was no news, Zhao Kuangyin had to increase the reward again, and changed the person who offered the reward from Zhao Kuangyi to Zhao Kuangyi and Ye Xiaotao. When I found that woman, I naturally found Kuang Yi. It's just that two people are openly rewarded on the list. Zhao Kuangyin only felt embarrassed. But there is no other way.

This time, the list was issued, but within two days, someone unveiled the list. Zhao Pu hurriedly ordered someone to bring in the person who unveiled the list, but he was startled when he saw it. The man was in rags, dragging a broken leg, his hair was unkempt, and his face was dirty.

Even though Zhao Pu is used to seeing the world, he is still a little frightened. This man looks like a refugee, will he know the whereabouts of the major general? I couldn't help asking, "Why did you unveil the list?" Do you know where they are now? ”

The man opened his mouth and showed a mouthful of white teeth: "Give me a full meal first." Before he finished speaking, he was kicked by the guard who brought him in: "Not honest." Are you here to cheat? ”

Zhao Pu raised his hand: "That's it, prepare some good food for him, and then talk about it after eating." After saying that, he entered the back hall, and only ordered his subordinates to wait for the man to eat before calling him out. Bu Guangji.

After a while, the next person prepared some food and came out, but it was just some ordinary chicken, duck and fish, but the man's eyes were already shining, and he pounced on it as if he hadn't eaten a full meal for many days. Even the subordinates looked at it staggeringly. The wind swept the clouds, and in less than a stick of incense, the bowl had been dried up. Only then did he lick his mouth and smile at his subordinates: "Call your master out, I can talk to him." ”

Zhao Pu walked out slowly, sat down in the hall master, looked at the man and asked, "Who are you?" Where have you seen them? After a pause, he said coldly, "Now that you have eaten, you will play tricks and serve the board carefully." ”

The man smiled and said, "How dare I." Back to my lord, little Ye Guang, the Ye Xiaotao in your notice is my sister-in-law. Just rush this point, how can you put me on the board. ”

Zhao Pu's heart suddenly, this person is Ye Xiaotao's brother? How did that make such a mess? Hurriedly put all the subordinates back and carefully interrogated this Ye Guang.

Ye Guang got He Zhitang's silver and wanted to take Xiao Tao away from He Mansion, but he walked halfway and was escaped by Xiao Tao. That's it, Ye Guang thought that although the woman ran away, she still had money, and it would be comfortable to eat and drink all the way back to Yunwan Village.

But later Qi Zhengxiu's letter to He Zhitang changed Ye Guang's fate. Qi Zhengxiu claimed that he was going to Yunwan Village to ask for someone, and He Zhitang was afraid that the matter of hiring Ye Guang with silver would be exposed, so he asked Yun Niang to block Ye Guang's mouth. Yun Niang sent someone to rob Ye Guang halfway, and she had a good fight, and she also robbed all the silver on her body, creating the illusion of robbery and killing. Only the dead do not talk nonsense.

But Ye Guang was a big one, he held his breath at the time, and after half the night, he turned around and breathed again. It's just that he broke a leg, and he didn't have half a penny on his body, Yunwan Village was far away, Ye Guang had been begging and messing around for the past two years, and somehow he arrived in Kaifeng, and after living for a few months, he saw this list.

Ye Guang naturally began to think, this Ye Xiaotao is really good, he has become a character after leaving Yunwan Village, someone has paid him to take her away, and someone has a heavy reward. Ye Guang hadn't eaten enough for a few days, so he just took this opportunity to knock on it. As for the future, he will act on the opportunity. In the face of Zhao Pu's inquiry, Ye Guang did not mention that He Zhitang spent money to hire him, only said that Xiao Tao was his sister-in-law, who ran out of Yunwan Village, and he came out to look for it, but his leg was broken and he ended up in Kaifeng.

Zhao Pu listened to Ye Guang's inconsequential words, and it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the fake for a while. They only knew that Ye Xiaotao used to be the girl of He Mansion, and later the He family was convicted in Tang for belonging to Da Zhou, and the female dependents were made official prostitutes. As for where Ye Xiaotao is from, I really don't know. Zhao Pu asked Ye Guang with cold eyes: "What you said is true?" This person is what Lord Zhao is looking for, if you dare to talk nonsense, Lord Zhao will waste his time, be careful about your life. ”

Ye Guang hurriedly straightened his voice: "Where do you dare to be small." If you don't believe me, you can take me back to Yunwan Village to ask, everyone there knows that Ye Xiaotao is from our village. Ye Guangcun's mind was that it would be best if they could bring him back to Yunwan Village, because he wouldn't be able to go back for so many years without spending money on the road.

Zhao Pu asked again: "Then you don't know where they are?" ”

Ye Guang scratched his head: "I only know that Xiao Tao was a servant girl in He Mansion before, and after so long, I haven't seen her." I don't know where. After speaking, he looked at Zhao Pudao again, "But I know that she is from Yunwan Village, and she is also worth some silver, right?" No more, just two taels are enough. ”

Zhao Pu looked at Ye Guang's greed for money and knew that this person only recognized money. But he said that Ye Xiaotao was right to be a servant girl in He Mansion before. From this point of view, he does know Ye Xiaotao, so the Yunwan Village he said should also be Ye Xiaotao's hometown. But will Ye Xiaotao and Zhao Kuangyi go there?

Zhao Pu ordered someone to take Ye Guang to the next person's room to settle down, and went to see Zhao Kuangyin and said these things. Zhao Kuangyin was afraid of the table: "Whatever he does in Yunwan Village, Yuwan Village, since there is such a place, send someone to ask." It's better than not moving at all right now. He was too desperate to find Zhao Kuangyi.

Now the court Fan Zhen and others are in front of the emperor to participate in his recital, ordering him to hand over the military power and no longer control the forbidden army. The little emperor reassigned him to the German army. This annoyed him, but he could only swallow it. At the same time, he began to arrange his henchmen in full swing. The deputy capital in front of the palace was inspected, and his friend Murong Yanzhao for many years was arranged, and the position of the Marquis of Yu, who had been vacant in front of the palace, was handed over by his cloth clothes to Wang Xianqi, so that the senior positions of the entire palace front division system were all placed in Zhao Kuangyin's henchmen.

But the people who transferred troops in the middle, Zhao Kuangyin arranged no one to worry. At this moment, Zhao Kuangyi had a little news, and Zhao Kuangyin couldn't wait to go and find out immediately.

Zhao Pu listened to Zhao Kuangyin's instructions and decided to go to Yunwan Village to see it in person. It was Ye Xiaotao's hometown, even if they weren't there, maybe someone who was familiar with Ye Xiaotao would know where they went, or could provide some clues about where Ye Xiaotao had been.

Two days later, Zhao Pu took Ye Guang and twenty personal soldiers to Yunwan Village. Yunwan Village was the boundary of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Zhao Pu couldn't bring a large number of troops over, so he had to let his soldiers also wear civilian clothes and pretend to be merchants.

When they arrived in Yunwan Village, Ye Guangxian took Zhao Pu and them back home. Ye Laosan, who was leaning against the door on crutches, almost couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Ye Guang, but when he saw Ye Guang's legs, he was so distressed that he burst into tears, and he hugged Ye Guang tightly and refused to let go.

Ye Guang impatiently pushed Ye Laosan away and asked, "Have you seen that dead girl in the village??? Little Peach? ”

Ye Laosan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the person behind Ye Guang, and nodded: "There is a man who lives in the village." ”

When Zhao Pu heard Ye Laosan's words, he was so happy that he slapped his palm, he really had nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it. While instructing his own soldiers to hurry back to report to Zhao Kuangyin, he settled Ye Laosan and Ye Guang not to tell anyone about their arrival. So as not to startle the grass and snakes, let Zhao Kuangyi and Ye Xiaotao escape again.

Zhao Pu took the rest of his personal soldiers and hid in a courtyard at the other end of Yunwan Village. Every day, an elite soldier will be sent to wear a rough robe and secretly go to the outside of Zhao Kuangyi and Xiao Tao's residence to check the movement.
