Chapter 33: The Bounty
Hua Lou Ji pursed her lips slightly, full of disappointment, pulled out a peony in the vase and put it on the tip of her nose to sniff.
Seeing Xu Changshou stop abruptly, he felt a little unhappy, and raised the sake on the table and drank two glasses, she looked a little inexplicably charming in thin clothes, Xu Changshou could vaguely feel the affectionate veins under the woman's watery eyes.
As we all know, the twenty-eight girl is more innocent, but this sister, who is close to thirty years old, is beautiful.
Xu Changshou turned to look at Hua Lou Ji and said, "What about the reward that my sister promised to be?" ”
Hua Lou Ji stroked her falling hair, and then instructed the girl to hand over a piece of rough paper, and then asked the girl to present the rough paper to Xu Changshou.
Xu Changshou took the rough paper and began to read, and in a trance, he was dumbfounded: "Wait, this is the reward hung by the county commander?" ”
His first reaction was to think of Zhang Huaili, the commander of Yongle County.
"Childe has a relationship with the county master?" Hua Lou Ji asked.
"Well, so to speak, a short-term partner?" Xu Changshou was fearless at first, and then continued to read in depth!
After all, Zhang Huaili, as a parent official, how can there be anything that he can't solve by himself? Wouldn't it be easier to hang a reward in Liule Fang and report it directly to your boss?
……
The ink hasn't dried, and it shouldn't have been long since it hung out!
"On the seventeenth day of the winter month, the treasure was lost, and the official sent someone to recover it, but he found nothing, so he put out a reward, and hereby seek people with lofty ideals to help the official find the treasure, and he will be rewarded with a lot of money after the matter is completed! Signature...... Zhang Huaili! ”
After Xu Changshou read the content on the paper, he realized that this was the reward offered by Zhang Huaili in Yongle County.
As for why he didn't report it to his superiors, and sent someone to hang up the reward order in Liule Fang, Xu Changshou felt that there should be something unspeakable that blocked the mouth of the county magistrate.
"This bounty is here!" Xu Changshou said briskly.
Hua Lou Ji looked at him in shock and said, "Xu Gongzi really wants to take it?" ”
Xu Changshou nodded very affirmatively at Hua Lou Ji.
This is a bounty issued by the prefectural magistrate! No one dared to take over the hot potato before Xu Changshou came, what can he Xu Changshou do?
Hua Lou Ji couldn't believe it from the bottom of her heart, but when she saw the young man's determined eyes, she was a little swayed by her contempt.
"That's it! If Childe wants to take it, no one will stop him! But ......"
"But what?"
Hua Lou Ji deliberately sold it.
"However, since Mr. Storyteller is unwilling to continue, then he has to make up for this girl!" Hua Lou Ji had red lips and white teeth, supported her chin with one hand, and looked at the young man in front of her.
"How to make up for it?" Xu Changshou looked at the glamorous woman and said.
The amorous woman said: "Since it is to make amends, it is natural for Mr. Storyteller to make his own decision!" The slave family is just a Qinglou woman, if you want to cut off your tongue for me, you still won't! ”
Xu Changshou grinned: "In that case, I'll give the girl a poem, how about it?" ”
"You are a martial artist, you can write poetry?" Hua Lou Ji looked at him suspiciously.
I can't write poetry, but I do have a lot of experience in dying.
Xu Changshou grinned, there are thousands of ancient poems, and the textbooks of the nine years account for half of them! casually pull out a song from your head, how to say it is also a famous sentence for the ages.
In my previous life, I was a representative of the language department, and I was just a poet, wouldn't I be able to do it easily?
Then he chanted: "The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look." ”
Hearing this, Hua Lou Ji was immediately attracted: "Yun Xiang clothes...... Flowers want to look! ”
As a woman in a green house, what she values most is her beauty. The woman looked charming, holding her chin with one hand and the bright peony with the other, and was immediately impressed by the artistic conception in the poem, fell into contemplation, and indulged in the woman who was like a fairy in the poem.
Then Xu Changshou said again: "The spring breeze blows Revlon!" ”
A famous sentence through the ages is also the experience of predecessors. Qinglou women like Hualou Ji, don't say that someone composes poems for herself, and even if she is respected, she has to grovel, most of the girls in Liule Fang suffered at home, so they strayed into the fireworks Willow Lane, and they used to be the daughter of a certain official's family, but now, they have become the root of the tongue in the eyes of passers-by.
It's just that this world is impermanent, even if there is a lot of wealth, but the fate is ill-fated, the singer who scratches her head during the day and cries at night no one cares!
Surprised, Hua Lou Ji then asked, "Mr. Storyteller!" What else? ”
Xu Changshou sold the guanzi, looked at the glamorous woman, and said: "The remaining two sentences, before the time comes, I will tell the girl that when the sun sets and the moon hangs high, I will naturally make up for the poems!" ”
There are only two sentences left! Stay in your spare time and then have in-depth exchanges with girls, as we all know, only simple teaching can be deeply rooted......
Immediately Hua Lou Ji instructed the girl to send pen and paper, Xu Changshou took the pen and made it, wrote the first two lines of poetry heroically, then folded the paper several times, and then handed it to the glamorous Oiran.
"The clouds want clothes, the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon." At this time, the Qinglou woman was still intoxicated with the artistic conception of the poem.
Xu Changshou accepted the reward and was about to rush to Yongle County...... At the door of the line, he heard Hua Lou Ji shouting at him: "Mr. Storyteller!" What is the name of this poem? ”
Xu Changshou carried the sword on his back and said leisurely: ""Gift to the Girl of Lou Ji"
The glamorous woman suddenly blushed, as if she had found a treasure, and held the poem tightly in her hand.
Ancient women, how many can be praised by this poem.
Especially for the woman in the Qinglou, short poems are hard to find for life!
After a while, I was once again impressed by the sentence "The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon", and he stood for a long time, like a bronze man.
……
At that time, Yongle County Ya, Zhang Huaili fidgeted and paced back and forth in the back hall, muttering two sentences from time to time, "Now that the treasure is lost, the saint will investigate it, how should the official be called?" ”
I saw the sound of footsteps outside the door of the back hall, Master Hu first saluted Zhang Xianling after entering the door, and then added: "Don't panic, adults, I have already posted a reward to the outside a few days ago, if someone sees it, naturally accept the reward, and then we can be a lot easier." Master Hu said.
"My summer sacrifice is coming, and now the treasure is lost, isn't this the life of the official?" Zhang Huaili is like an ant on a hot pot, turning around.
"Where's the catch? What about the arrest of the official county office? Zhang Huaili slapped the table angrily.
"My lord forgot, the arrester was sent to investigate the case!"
Compared with the fiery Zhang Huaili, Master Hu touched his goat's whiskers and looked so calm.
In fact, there are different hearts and mouths, and this heart is already a pot of porridge.
"My lord! Xu Changshou asks to see! A handyman came in from outside, knelt down and replied.
"Let him in!"
The middle-aged man Zhang Huaili waved his sleeves, and then went down, and after a while, he saw a handsome man walking in, with slender eyelashes and thin lips.
When he looked at it again, the young man had a sword in his hand.
"The grass people have a long life, and they have seen the county master!" Xu Changshou bowed respectfully.
Zhang Huaili stroked his beard and glanced at the handsome son.
"What's the matter with this official?"
Xu Changshou smiled and said: "I heard that the adult posted a reward, so I hereby come to the door!" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Huaili seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and said ecstatically: "Did you accept the reward from the official?" ”
"Naturally!" Xu Changshou affirmed.
"The grass people are thinking, I don't know what kind of difficulty has stumped our county magistrate! I'm going to hang the bounty on the willow music square! Xu Changshou explained.
This Zhang County Commander doesn't seem to want to mention his Spring and Autumn History, and it is also Master Hu's opinion to hang the reward in that kind of place.
"What's so difficult about you? Why don't you tell us below? Xu Changshou Mao recommended himself.
Zhang Huaili then informed the young man of the loss of the treasure.
"On the seventeenth day of the winter month, the heavenly sacrifice is coming, and the saint ordered us to wait for the government to escort the gift to the Kyoto Ministry of Rites, who expected that the official who was responsible for escorting the treasure went outside the city, and the fog was filled, and the accompanying official entered the fog as if he had been poisoned by the demon and was unconscious. When I woke up, the treasure was lost, and I couldn't find it, and now the official is in a dilemma, and he is about to sacrifice to the sky, and then he can't find the treasure ritual, and the saint is furious, how can the official deal with himself? ”
Zhang Huaili's mother immediately sold a batch: "His mother's dog is crumb, if the official is caught, the official will definitely let it be scattered!" ”
Xu Changshou was a little puzzled, shouldn't Zhang Huaili go to the senior heavenly master of Xuanlu Temple? But when you think about it, it makes sense.
After all, Liu Lefang is just a private demon slaying organization, which is to avoid being held accountable by his boss for the loss of treasures.
The second is that Zhang Huaili, who has been in the officialdom for decades, will naturally not make the news of the loss of treasures public, not to mention that his colleagues are laughing at shame, once he is held accountable by the saint, he will be impeached at the least, and the official hat will not be guaranteed, and he will have to be naturalized.
The heavenly sacrifice is coming, you especially give Lao Tzu a chain, Lao Tzu fired you!
Zhang Huaili knew that the Heavenly Sacrifice was the Great Xia Ancestral Sacrifice, and he couldn't be negligent, and the saint handed over the task of escorting the ritual to Yongle County, which was reused, and now the treasure is lost, if Long Yan is furious, it is a question of whether he can save his life!
"Did you find a clue?" Xu Changshou immediately asked the melancholy Zhang County Order, Zhang Huaili sighed sadly, I don't know what to say.
"The old man concluded that it must have been done by a monster!"
Seeing Zhang Huaili's confident face, Xu Changshou still had no idea. Theoretical knowledge alone is not enough! There has to be solid evidence!
"What did the adults do when they saw the monsters?"
Hearing this, Zhang Huaili shook his head, indeed, the monster was just a message from his subordinates, and the accompanying officials all said that the weather was very cold that day, and they also said that it was a big demon who could control the weather.
Zhang Huaili himself is just looking for comfort, half a bottle of water jingles, there is no factual basis.
As for whether it was done by a monster, it needs to be analyzed.
"What are the number of ritual vessels?" Xu Changshou immediately asked Zhang Huaili.
Zhang Huaili only stretched out a number - yes, a thumb.
"What? One? ”
Xu Changshou looked at Zhang Xianling in surprise, wondering whether Zhang Huaili's fingers had split his legs or his IQ had derailed.
"That's a Nine Dragons Fangding! It weighs 800 pounds, the mouth of the vessel is four feet wide, the height of the vessel is more than four feet, it is majestic and solemn, and the dragon pattern is embossed. Zhang Huaili touched his thick beard and said in a deep voice.
"Ding?"
Xu Changshou suddenly appeared in his mind the appearance of a giant tripod, bronze embroidery, nine dragons hovering in the body of the tripod, majestic and dignified, graceful lines are staggered, four tripods stand tall, like the Son of Heaven stepping on the dust, Huanghuang is mighty to shock the world!
"Seeing that the heavenly sacrifice is coming, how is this called this official?"
Xu Changshou sorted out his thoughts.
"My lord, where is the official in charge of escorting the ritual vessels?" Xu Changshou asked Zhang Huaili, who had a blank look.
"It's okay, take care of the county office!" Zhang Huaili replied simply.
"My lord, since it is done by a monster, how can the official in charge of escorting the ritual weapons be fine?"
"This?"
Hearing Xu Changshou's words, Zhang Huaili was suddenly enlightened.
