Zhashui Anye City, due to the proximity to the capital of Chang'an, the local government as early as a few days ago received the emperor to show the world, the arrest of the thief notice of the text, yesterday, the court again came to the news, said that the son of the thief to win the innocent has appeared in Anye City, ordered the Taishou to be sure to arrest this person, if there is an accident, the relevant officials are all dismissed from their posts and investigated, this is the imperial order

Therefore, Anye City has entered the whole city since yesterday, each city gate set up sentry points, the people in and out of the strict investigation, once found suspicious people immediately detained, the emperor issued a death order, Anye government everyone is in danger, for the arrest of criminals has reached the point of madness, the so-called would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one

In Anye City, scenes of government arrests can be seen everywhere, patrol soldiers check the local people one by one, and the streets and alleys are plastered with announcements on the arrest of traitors

"The rebel Ling Cang, the original Tiger Prison Guan rebel will win the son of Wuxian, during the Xuanzong period, the Tianbao Rebellion, the rebels rose out, for the disaster of the people of the court, his father won Wuxian as a general of the Qin faction of the imperial court, did not think of quelling the rebellion and saving the country, but took advantage of the danger of the court to collude with Xirong, plotting to rebel, : after the plan was revealed, he was given death by the emperor, and the son of Ling Cang fled, this son was extremely vicious, mad, and after he was killed, he not only did not learn from it, but hid the rivers and lakes, and planned trouble, A few days ago, he relied on his identity as a disciple of martial arts to get close to the heavenly prison and poisoned the current King of Han, whose cruelty was even worse than that of his father.

For the sake of peace in the world and the stability of the people, I hereby issue a decree to blockade the whole territory and arrest the rebels, and whoever provides the whereabouts of Ling Cang, the son of the Winning Immortals, will be rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver, and the four generals will be crowned, and those who are arrested will be rewarded with a county and a city, and the hereditary county king will be crowned

Anyone who dares to know and does not report it will be regarded as an accomplice to the thief and will be executed immediately if discovered.

A young man who looks like a talent stands in the crowd and reads out the imperial court's announcement with an impassioned speech, and the crowd of onlookers is bustling, listening carefully to the content of the announcement announced by Xiucai, and the people in the neighborhood and the vendors along the way also come forward to join in the fun, wanting to see what major events have happened in the imperial court

Xiucai's reading was not over, but the crowd was already noisy, and everyone's discussions came and went, and there was everything in the conversation.

"Win without loss, I remember, 16 years ago, the big thief won without loss, during the Tianbao Rebellion, he attempted treason and was given death by the emperor, this matter was also revealed to the world back then" A middle-aged man suddenly remembered something and said loudly

"That's right, the old man also remembered, it is said that the imperial court copied the winner all over the house, but I didn't expect his son to be alive" Another elderly man answered, his words mixed with a little shock

"The father and son of the winner collaborated with the enemy and treason, and the murder of the prince, it can really be described as extremely vicious, I hope that the court can arrest the thief as soon as possible," said a young man, perhaps at the age of blood and strength, and his words were very fierce when talking about the father and son of the big thief winner

"Yes, this person dared to poison the current King of Han at a young age, if he left it alone, he would definitely become a big thief like his father Win Wuxian, hey, it will be us poor people who will suffer at that time" Another person answered, his tone mixed with a little worry

The incident of Zhenxi's general Win Wuxian's treason and treason by the emperor was a sensation 16 years ago, so that many years later, the people still have deep memories when they talk about this matter, so when everyone heard the news that the son of Win Wuxian poisoned the current prince in order to avenge the revenge of the year, they were also full of emotion for a while

In addition to the indignation at the notorious crimes of the winner's father and son, the talk of the people was more about the rich bounty

"My mother, offer a reward of thousands of gold to the whereabouts of the son of the deadless, arrest him, and reward the county city as the king, his head is too valuable," a young man said with his eyes lit up and a little excited

"Yes, if anyone can catch this thief and hand it over to the court, then this life will be developed, the real brocade clothes and jade food, dignitaries and dignitaries" Another young man answered, and it was difficult to hide the excitement in his words

"That's right, don't say it's a feudal county and a king, if anyone can find the whereabouts of the son of Win Wuxian and inform the court, it will be a good thing that will not be met in eight lifetimes."

As soon as you say a word, I say a word, and the emotions of the onlookers are gradually mobilized.

There was a man who waved his hand and said to the people around him, "Let's go, let's look for him, catch him and hand him over to the government, and the court's reward will have a share" The big man said excitedly,

His words caused a burst of agitation in the crowd, there are already a few young people who are ready to try, for these perennial street people, whether it is a thousand gold rewards, or for the king, they usually dare not imagine, so the reward issued by the imperial court this time is undoubtedly a great temptation for most of the people in the market, the emperor wants to make the son of the winner have nothing to hide through this method

The crowd shouted, and the voice of arresting Ling Cang, the son of Win Wuxian, became louder and louder, especially those young men who were strong in blood and strength, who had been carried away by the high reward at the moment, but there were still a few experienced people in the crowd who saw the clues at a glance and always remained sober

Just when everyone's mood was high, the voice of an elderly man sounded in the crowd, "Hey, people die for money, birds die for food, since ancient times, how many people have lost their lives for money, and they have ended up with a life to earn no life" The old man raised his voice when he spoke, as if he deliberately let the onlookers hear

Sure enough, the young men who shouted for catching thieves and receiving rewards immediately stopped making noise after hearing the old man's words, and everyone heard that there was another meaning in the old man's words, and one of the young men looked at the old man with some confusion and asked, "Uncle Chen, what do you mean by this, do you mean that our lives will be in danger when we go to catch thieves?"

The young man looked at the old man and asked respectfully, with deep respect in his words and deeds, and the crowd was quiet at the moment, and everyone looked at the old man intently, wanting to hear what he would say

Judging from the performance of the crowd, the old man seems to have a lot of prestige on this street, and there is almost no one in the crowd who does not know who he is, the old man was an official in the county government when he was young, and returned to his hometown after retiring, and became a member of the party. He has done a lot of good deeds in Anye City, and the local people respect him very much

Therefore, the crowd of passionate people would immediately quiet down and ask him what he meant after hearing Chen Yuanwai's words

Old Chen sighed, looked at those young people with strong blood and said with some emotion, "You don't understand the true intention of the imperial court, do you think that the imperial court really wants the people to catch the traitors with such a generous reward?"

Everyone didn't understand what Chen Lao meant for a while, and the man who was shouting just now to take the lead in arresting people looked at the latter with a puzzled face and asked, "Uncle Chen, the winner's father and son collaborated with the enemy to commit treason, murdered the prince, and the emperor issued a reward notice to mobilize the people to arrest the anti-thief together, in this case, whoever catches the anti-thief and rewards it is who, there is no problem" The big man touched his head and asked suspiciously

Chen Lao shook his head, looked at him and the young people behind him, and said earnestly, "Silly children, you think things too simply, although Win Wuxian colluded with Xirong to be given death by the emperor, but before that, he was also the general of Zhenxi in the world, when it comes to strength, no one in the world was his opponent at that time, and his son was hidden in the first sword gate in China for many years, he sneaked into the prison to poison King Han, how can such means be done by mortals, even the court can't take him, you go to arrest him, it is simply to send him to death." Chen Yuanwai said with some emotion, with a little worry in his eyes

Chen Lao's words made those hot-headed young people calm down instantly, and at this moment no one was clamoring to arrest people and receive rewards, the big man who took the lead fell into deep thought, and after a while, he looked at the staff and asked with a puzzled face, "Uncle Chen, since the court knows that the people are not the opponents of the son of the winner, why do they still release such a high reward, isn't this deliberately leading the people to their lives", the big man said puzzled, and the other young people also looked at Old Chen, obviously they were also confused about this matter like the big man

The old man was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help but sigh, looked at everyone and said slowly, "The court just wants to let the son of the winner have nowhere to hide in this way, and compare it with the arrest of the son of the winner, how can they care about how many people die" The old man couldn't help but sigh after speaking, in recent years, the court has been fighting for many years, the people's livelihood is gradually withering, the local government oppresses the people, layer by layer, the senior officials of the court turn a deaf ear to this, regardless of it, the old man who has retired for many years looks at these things, hey, go on like this, The people's hearts are really scattered

The young men who had just clamored to arrest people and receive rewards lowered their heads one by one at this moment, if it weren't for Uncle Chen's reminder, maybe they would really go to capture the son of Win Wuxian for a high reward, and then be killed by the other party

At the very edge of the crowd of onlookers, there was a person with his head down, trembling uncontrollably, he was wearing a straw hat, others could not see his face, the crowd was bustling, the people were all discussing the cruelty and inhumanity of the winner's father and son, or the young man with strong blood clamored to arrest people to receive the court reward, only he stood in the crowd, silent for a long time, without saying a word

"Hey, this guy is so strange, who is he, how come I've never seen him"

"I don't know, it's a foreigner, I haven't seen him either," muttered the people who had just noticed the mysterious visitor

Two lines of cloudy tears fell from the straw hat, wetting the sand on the ground, but no one noticed him anymore, because immediately after the raindrops poured down from the sky, and the sky was suddenly cloudy

As if to extinguish the hope of the people's life, because most of the onlookers are traders along the street, or poor farmers who come to the market to rely on the only surplus grain in exchange for some meager income to maintain a bleak livelihood, the rain means that the traders will lose the already bleak business, especially for the farmers, the heavy rain will make their only surplus food uncared for, and more importantly, the heavy rain will make the exposed grain rot in their hands, and the sudden heavy rain will make everyone's already depressed mood even more depressed

The people's depression eventually turned into anger against the winner's father and son, because the appearance of the winner's son made everyone see the opportunity to be rewarded with a thousand gold, become an official or even a king, but the hope was quickly shattered, replaced by a sudden natural disaster and the bleak reality that had to be faced

The traders will have no income today, which means that they will have to go hungry, the peasants who come to the market will not be able to return home because of the heavy rains, and the surplus food after the exorbitant taxes will rot in their own hands

The resentment that the people had suppressed in their hearts exploded, and all the anger of the people was sprinkled on the winning father and son who did not know them

"Damn, they are all anti-thieves like Win Wuxian, the world is full of wars, the people are not living, such a sinner killed him too cheaply, he should be sentenced to death, crushing bones and ashes" An onlooker said angrily, his words once again ignited the people's already angry emotions, the crowd boiled, and the voices of the onlookers resounded throughout the street, all of which were scolding the winner's father and son

"That's right, the crime of winning without death is extremely evil, and a thief like him deserves to be beheaded all over the house"

"And his son Ling Cang, it's not a good thing, he's just as destined to die as his father."

"I hope the court can bring him to justice as soon as possible, such a person is not worthy of living in the world"

……

The shouts of the people grew louder and louder, and the words of the people became more and more vicious

The mysterious visitor wearing a straw hat turned around and left the crowd silently, no one noticed him, and no one thought that he was the most vicious and unfortunate son of the dead in the mouth of the people, Ling Cang, he walked through the whole street in the scolding of the people, the cold autumn wind made his body gradually numb, and under the straw hat, there were water droplets constantly slipping down, I don't know if it was rain or tears

He didn't know why he was grieving, the sudden events of these days weighed him like a boulder, and overnight, he became the murderer of the prince, the son of the notorious thief, and the most terrifying thing was the nightmare curse of the green dragon star, which made him shudder every time he thought about it

He walked in the cold world like a dead bone, and now there was only one thought that supported him, to find the white tiger and break the curse of the green dragon star, so that the few old people in his life could survive the world, as for the rest, he didn't want to think so much anymore

……

The shouting and scolding of the crowd did not stop for a long time, and in the crowd, a weak voice sounded in the ears, which seemed out of place with the angry people around him, and it was a child talking

"Grandpa Chen, I don't think Win Wuxian is a thief, he is more like a good person, a good person like you" The child's voice sounded in the crowd, showing immaturity

Chen Yuanwai looked at the little girl with some surprise, looked at the latter and asked in surprise, "Yaya, why do you think so, do you want to tell grandpa" Chen Yuanwai touched the little girl's head, his face was full of love, he was shocked by the little girl's words, but he did not have the slightest sense of reproach, after all, children are unscrupulous, how can adults care about children

The crowd of onlookers snorted at the little girl's words,

"Hmph, how can a person who has been slaughtered by the emperor be a good person" A big man said with disdain

The girl's mother also took the girl into her arms, with an unconcealable horror in her eyes, "Yaya, don't talk nonsense, the people in the government will arrest you when they hear these words."

Seeing the worry on her mother's face, Yaya was scared, two tears swirled in her eyes, and finally she looked helplessly at Chen Yuanwai, "Grandpa Chen, I'm ......" The girl wanted to speak and stopped, not knowing whether to speak

Chen Yuanwai looked at Yaya and said solemnly, "Yaya, you said, with Grandpa Chen here, no one dares to arrest you."

Yaya lowered his head, thought for a long time before looking at Chen Yuanwai again and said in a childish voice, "Before my father was killed by officers and soldiers, I often heard him say that Win Wuxian is a general in the west, and the people there regard him as a guardian saint to protect the peace of the people, my father also said that the reason why the west is peaceful is because Win Wuxian killed a lot of bad people, he scared the barbarians, and no one dared to violate the people, I think, those barbarians must hate him very much, just like we hate those bad people, if so, the bad people will not be able to promise him to rebel together." ……“
