The four of them went all the way to Zhangye County, starting from Meishan County, along the Minjiang River all the way to the north, and when they arrived at Hanyang County, it was already five days later, and the four of them were already exhausted, so they decided to enter Hanyang County to rest for a few days before leaving.

After entering Hanyang County, the four of them found an inn to settle down, Chu Mofeng said goodbye to the three girls and went out on the street, walking on the streets of Hanyang County, Chu Mofeng found that there were few merchants coming and going here, and the goods in the market were not very sufficient. ”

I only heard Dr. Tea answer, and after a while, a pot of Xinyang Maojian, a teacup and two plates of dim sum were served, Chu Mofeng immediately poured a cup of tea, and asked Dr. Tea casually: "Boss, why do I see such merchants coming and going here, it stands to reason that as soon as the Zhangye Mutual Market opens, there should be many businessmen from the direction of Dongdu and Xijing." ”

Dr. Tea looked around and said: "The guest officer is a foreigner at a glance, recently there have been horse thieves outside Hanyang County, specializing in robbing passing pedestrians and merchants, some caravans are more and better, those merchants who are in groups of three or two and pedestrians who are traveling alone are not so lucky, most of them have been looted, and they will never come to Hanyang County again, and the government is helpless about this, the horse thieves have come and gone without a trace, and the government has not found a trace of them many times. ”

After listening to this, Chu Mofeng picked up a piece of pastry and ate it by himself, then drank the tea and settled the account and went straight to the outside of the Hanyang County Mansion, only to see that there were many reward orders posted on the notice board outside the mansion, most of which were arrested, some caught horse thieves, and some caught big thieves, Chu Mofeng carefully read them from beginning to end one by one, and then picked up a few interested reward orders and tore them off and put them in his arms, and walked towards the inn.

After returning to the inn, Chu Mofeng took out four reward orders from his arms and spread them on the table to examine them carefully, only to see that the first reward order was painted with a hideous face of a big man, named Li Dacheng, for the crime of killing three residents of the county and then escaping, and the reward was 400 Wen; the second reward order did not have a portrait, and only three big characters were written on the original portrait position: Hu Ma Gang, charged with robbing pedestrians and merchants, and rewarded three times; the third picture painted a handsome woman, named Gu Zhen'er, for stealing a rich merchant in the county, with a reward of 300 Wen; and the last picture painted a man, accused of kidnapping tickets for extortion, and the reward was also three times。

Chu Mofeng looked at the four bounty orders for a long time, then picked up the first one and came to the guest room of Qingli and the three, after knocking on the door, Qingli opened the door and welcomed him in, Chu Mofeng handed the bounty order to Qingli and said: "Sister, I saw a few bounty orders in front of the government today It is very interesting, I want to make some money with this, after all, the entanglement on our body seems to be able to last for three days, just wait for me at the inn." ”

Qingli joked Chu Mofeng and said: "What's the matter, the three of us are not weak women who are powerless, you go and let us wait for you here, don't you let us get it for nothing, so let's go and uncover all the reward orders at the door of the mansion and get them back, and the four of us will study and study together." ”

Chu Mofeng responded when he heard this, then turned around and walked out of the inn, walked to the notice, took off all the reward orders one by one, and then put them in his arms and was about to return to the inn.

Chu Mofeng turned his head to look at the two officials and said, "Big brother, of course I know that this is a reward order, and the little one is just for the sake of rewarding money." ”

One of the officials said with a smile: "You have revealed all the rewards, you have such a big appetite, you can't pay it until the last one." ”

Chu Mofeng smiled and said, "Brother Cha, don't worry, I promise to see people alive and corpses when they die." Then he turned around and walked towards the inn in a dashing manner.

After returning to the inn, Chu Mofeng took out all the bounties in his arms, put them on the table together with the remaining three in his room, and said to the three girls: "I have taken all the bounties back, let's take a look and study them." Then the three girls gathered around and began to chatter.

The Rakshasa took all the bounties for the horse thieves and the bandits in front of him and said, "There are four of them, which add up to twenty pieces of money, and these are handed over to me, will you live or die?"

Chu Mofeng raised his head and said to the rakshasa: "Then sister, pay attention to safety, except for the leader, the rest will not be left." Rakshasa answered, picked up the bounty and turned around and walked out of the house.

Qingli and Xuanji also picked four of each and turned around and walked out of the inn, Chu Mofeng looked at the remaining two bounties on the table in a blink of an eye, the one in his hand was Li Dacheng's, and then the remaining two were Gu Zhen'er's, and the other one was only a woman, Chu Mofeng didn't care about it, he put it in his arms, and walked out of the inn with his weapon.

Chu Mofeng inquired about the news about Li Dacheng in the county, followed the guidance of some residents, and came to Li Dacheng's former blacksmith shop, at this time the blacksmith shop had long been abandoned, and the house was in a mess, Chu Mofeng was about to go in to find out, and an old man passing by next to him called out to him: "Young man, there is no one living here, you have to find a blacksmith to go to the south of the city to find it, since Dacheng had an accident, there is no one here." ”

Chu Mofeng heard the old man mention Li Dacheng, then turned around and came to the old man's side, and said to the old man: "Old man, I am a distant relative of Brother Dacheng, I came here from Shu County to join Brother Dacheng, what happened to his family?"

Seeing that Chu Mofeng was still a teenager, the old man pulled him to the side of the stone steps and sat down, and said to him slowly: " Young man, you don't know, your brother Dacheng originally opened a blacksmith shop in our place, who knew that just a year ago, one day your brother Dacheng's daughter was playing on the street, who knew that she was knocked out by an oncoming fast horse, and when she found out, she was already out of breath, and your brother-in-law asked around to find out that it was the son of the Zhang family in the county who hit the person, and then went to the door of the Zhang Mansion to theorize, who knew that in the process of the quarrel, the son of the Zhang family pushed your sister-in-law, and the back of your sister-in-law's head hit the stone lion at the door of the Zhang Mansion, and she died like this。 ”

Then the old man wiped the sweat on his head and continued: "After your brother Dacheng knew, he buried your sister-in-law and niece in the woods outside the city, and then disappeared, who knew that a few days later, the son of Zhangfu went out of the city to visit friends, and was killed on the way back, and the body was hung at the gate of Zhangfu, and there were six blood-red characters written on it, and it is said that the two servants who accompanied him were also killed, and the Zhang family immediately reported to the official. ”

"Then the government released a reward order to arrest you Brother Dacheng, young man, don't say that you know Dacheng, be careful that the government will arrest you and take you to the blame." The old man patted Chu Mofeng's shoulder and said.

Chu Mofeng pondered for a moment, and casually asked the old man: "Old man, where are my sister-in-law and niece buried, I want to go and pay respects." ”

The old man pondered for a while, then said a location to Chu Mofeng, and then said: "It's been a year until today, it is estimated that you can meet your brother Dacheng in front of the grave, if you meet the two of you, leave this place quickly." Then the old man stood up and walked into the distance.

Chu Mofeng whistled ahead, only to see the wind rushing from a distance, when the wind came to the side, Chu Mofeng turned over on the horse's back, and then urged the horse to run outside the city, after coming to the outside of the city, Chu Mofeng walked into a forest along the direction pointed by the old man, and just entered the woods and vaguely found that there was a person burning paper not far in front of him, and then Chu Mofeng tiptoed over, and from the side it was Li Dacheng on the portrait.

I saw Li Dacheng kneeling in front of the two graves while burning paper and muttering something, and there was a knife beside him, as the paper money was burned, Li Dacheng stood up with the knife and was about to leave, at this time Chu Mofeng jumped out of hiding and shouted: "Li Dacheng, stop." ”

Hearing this, Li Dacheng turned his head and looked at Chu Mofeng coldly and said, "Who are you? Are you also hired by Zhang Xun to kill me on that dog day? I won't kill you, you go back and bring him a message, sooner or later I will ask him to pay for my wife and daughter's lives." After saying that, he turned around and left.

At this time, Chu Mofeng was confused, and then shouted again: "I'm not here to kill you, I heard that your family wasn't killed by the son of the Zhang Mansion? Is this Zhang Xun the son of the Zhang Mansion? Isn't he dead?"

When Li Dacheng heard Chu Mofeng say this, he turned his head to look at him and said, "Zhang Gui, that waste was killed by me a long time ago, but his father Zhang Xun also has to die, because his father instructed him to do all this behind his back." Since you're not here to kill me, I'll tell you about it. ”

Then Li Dacheng told Chu Mofeng the whole story, it turned out that Li Dacheng was a soldier before, and when he was injured, he took off his military registration and went home to open a blacksmith shop, and the family lived happily after marrying a wife and having children.

Li Dacheng has been hiding the treasure knife, somehow Zhang Xun knew, it is said that this Zhang Xun likes to collect weapons, once asked Li Dacheng if he was willing to sell the treasure knife, Zhang Xun gave a price of five dollars, Li Dacheng because the treasure knife is an ancestral thing can not bear to sell, so he refused, and then Zhang Xun continued to increase the price, Li Dacheng is unwilling to sell.

After a long time, Zhang Xun was resentful, so he instructed his son Zhang Gui to teach Li Dacheng a lesson, but who knew that his son killed Li Dacheng's daughter and killed Li Dacheng's wife by mistake, so Li Dacheng killed Zhang Gui and was chased by Zhang Xun's hired people and the government.

After listening to Li Dacheng's narration, Chu Mofeng asked, "Li Dacheng, is what you just said true?"

Li Dacheng raised three fingers and said: "I, Li Dacheng, swear in front of the grave of my wife and daughter, if what I said just now is half false, people and gods will be angry. ”

Chu Mofeng pondered for a while, took out the reward order in his arms and handed it to Li Dacheng, Li Dacheng raised his knife when he saw this, and said angrily: "I treat you as a good person, who knew that you came with a reward order, blame me for seeing the wrong person with these eyes, come on." Immediately, Li Dacheng pulled a knife flower and protected the knife in his hand.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng hurriedly said: "Don't, I'm not here to arrest you, you listen to me, the reward is for you to take it yourself, and then find a way to get a horse, I'll give you some money, you take the ashes of your wife and daughter and ride to Zhangye County, and find Yanyulou in Zhangye County, and then tell the people inside that I asked you to come, and then give them the reward order, and the people there will prepare a new identity for you, and you will live there from now on." ”

Hearing this, Li Dacheng hurriedly dropped the knife, clasped his fists at Chu Mofeng and said, "Thank you Shaoxia for saving your life, I don't know if Shaoxia can tell me his name." ”

Chu Mofeng immediately threw him five hangs of money and said, "My name is Chu Mofeng, you go and prepare quickly, I must see you when I go back to Zhangye next month." After speaking, he turned around and got on the horse and left, Li Dacheng looked at the direction where Chu Mofeng left, then bowed three more times, then dug up the ashes of his wife and daughter and turned to leave.
