Chapter 14: The First Mission

The next day, Xiong Qiang came to the county office, and pasted a list in front of the county office, which only read: Catch the flower thief and reward 500 taels of silver.

Xiong Qiang is the first time to see such an interesting list, at least there is a headshot on the list, even if it is a face covered, but this list does not even have an avatar. It can be seen that if the methods of this flower thief are too clever, or the people of this county master are too incompetent.

Xiong Qiang didn't think much about it, and walked over and tore off the list. The two officials who were on duty in front of the county government saw that someone had torn off the list text, and they just glanced at Xiong Qiang listlessly. Then he routinely took him into the county office.

When they saw that there was a twenty-year-old young man standing in the hall, the eyes of the four of them showed deep doubt.

Zhixian is a thin and small person, with small eyes, probably because of reading under the lamp when he was young, and his eyesight is already a little bad. He walked down the hall and approached Xiong Qiang to examine him carefully.

After a long time, he said: "You are the one who unveiled the official list of Master Ben?"

"It's just here, does the county master think it's inappropriate?"

"Well, the muscles are not bad, but they are too young, and their courage is commendable!"

Xiong Qiang didn't care.

The master Bo also walked over at this time, and said with a serious look: "Young man, you are still young, although I know that you have some kung fu, but at a young age like you, your martial arts should not be too high." Let's be honest! Neither the county master nor I believe you. After all, there have been nine people who have come to us to sign up for the reward, and each of them is arrogant when they come, but in the end they either lose their lives or are seriously injured. The most hateful thing is that they don't even see what the man looks like. ”

Xiong Qiang shook his head with a smile and said, "After completing the task, when will I receive five hundred taels of silver?"

"After you complete the task, come to the county government!" Lord Bo sighed slightly, he knew that he had said such a long sentence, and it was in vain.

"Since you don't listen to persuasion, then I will tell you the truth, the county government has raised the reward of five hundred taels, and there is no payment for soup medicine or funeral expenses for those who fail in the mission. The canon, who was standing next to him, also stood up and added at this time.

Xiong Qiang smiled and said, "Prepare five hundred taels of silver!" and then strode away.

The county magistrate watched Xiong Qiang leave, and said angrily: "Another stunned young man, do you really think that anyone can receive these five hundred taels of silver? I don't know how thick the sky is, I don't know what to say!"

Dian Shi also sighed, shook his head and said, "It's hopeless!"

When Xiong Qiang walked out of the inn, there were already many people outside the county office, all of them looking at him with puzzled eyes, judging him, and discussing nothing more than whether this young guy could catch the flower thief.

For this kind of comment, Xiong Qiang just smiled faintly. But at this time, a young brother came out of the crowd, the same age as Xiong Qiang, but unlike Xiong Qiang, this person was very elegant.

looks beautiful, beautiful and bewitching, it is estimated that Xiaoyaozi back then was slightly inferior to this person. If it weren't for the fact that he had an Adam's apple, Xiong Qiang would have wondered if this person was a woman disguised as a man.

A shallow smile tugged at the corner of the man's mouth, and a pair of fox-like eyes blinked twice, full of seduction.

"Little brother, are you the one who took down the official list?" The man's voice was extremely magnetic and very pleasant.

Xiong Qiang doesn't like this kind of man who is not male or female, even his master doesn't like it very much, he always feels that men should still be domineering, a man who is too soft, even if he has strong martial arts, always lacks some majesty. So he doesn't have a good impression of this man who has nothing to do with him.

"Then who do you think will be able to unveil the official list?"

The man smiled shallowly, stretched out a white finger, poked at Xiong Qiang's powerful arm, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Although you have strength, but you are a stunned green with developed limbs and a simple mind, the flower thief is not as simple as you imagined, he can kill." ”

When he said this, the man's beautiful face suddenly became a little sharper.

Xiong Qiang suddenly had a feeling, he felt that the person in front of him seemed to be the mysterious flower thief, of course, this was just his feeling.

"Do you want me to catch the flower thief, or do you want me to go?"

"I just want to remind you that you have lost your life and this good time for no other reason. ”

"Don't bother, I believe in my sword!" Xiong Qiang said coldly, and then his eyes as sharp as a falcon stared at the man, but his left hand flicked lightly on his slender sword.

Stared at by Xiong Qiang's gaze, the man seemed to be seen through the secrets on his body, in order to hide the uneasiness in his heart, he covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly, and said with a light smile: "I hope you can save your life!"

After that, the man turned around and left with a somewhat mocking expression on his face.

Back at the inn, Xiong Qiang asked the drinkers here about who else in the county had young and beautiful women, and then selected a few main protection objects. It turned out that he still wanted to use Xia Yun as bait, but he was embarrassed to say it.

In the end, he still chose the house of a rich family named Li Jun, because Li Jun was stolen from two concubines, and there were three concubines at home, all of whom were young and beautiful, and they also had a daughter. Although he also has a few nursing homes at home, they are all just some big men with thick guns and sticks, and they just have some strength. Otherwise, the two concubines would not have been stolen by the flower thieves.

When Xiong Qiang arrived at Li's house, he saw that there was a lot of quarrel in everyone's compound, and it turned out that several concubines and the main house were making noise.

"Madam, you don't want to think about it, you are in your thirties, although you are dressed up, there is still a little charm, but after all, you are an old pearl yellow, and the taste of the flower thief is probably not so low, right?" Although the voice was tactful, the language was a little mean and vicious.

The lady was not a fuel-efficient lamp, but she scolded with confidence: "You little bitch, vixen, with your commotion, you can kill the flower thief, the master has been with you for a few nights, do you still want to monopolize the master?"

Besides, this is called sassy in the mouth of an older woman like you, and in the mouth of the master, I call it amorous. ”

"Master, look, I'm your main wife, why does she scold me like this?"

"Master, can you sleep in my house today?

"Master, can't you snub me?"

"Master, you have no conscience, I am your main house!"

The three-room concubine, a lady, in order to sleep with Li Jun, all of them used their housekeeping skills, coquettish, flattering, and crying, which made Li Jun feel that he was lacking in skills and had a headache.

Finally, Li Jun came up with an idea, he rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "Or, we will sleep in the bunk tonight." ”

Xiong Qiang, who was lying on the big tree in front of Li's house, shuddered in his heart when he heard this, this big family is really terrible.

But at this time, there was a faint crying sound in the courtyard, the voice was delicate and tactful, and it made people feel pitiful when they listened to it, and they couldn't help but feel a feeling of pity.

The cry was not loud, but it was sharp, as if it could pierce the night sky.

Xiong Qiang was slightly moved, turned his body again, and looked at the compound, only to see that the crying was a young and beautiful woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a graceful figure, wearing a dark green shirt and skirt, full of weak beauty.

There were shallow tear stains on her plain makeup, and looking at her, she seemed to be frightened by the mysterious flower thief.

"Shanshan, what's wrong with you?" Li Jun left many wives and concubines, and this daughter was the meat of his heart. More than 10 years ago, her ex-wife was depressed all day long because she couldn't stand his playboy habits, and then she got into some cold and minor illnesses, because she was in a bad mood, lazy to move, plus a variety of tonics, decoctions took turns to fall, and finally the sick body became more and more sick, and finally she couldn't afford to be sick and died. He has a deep relationship with his wife, and he feels deeply guilty about it, so he loves the daughter left by his ex-wife even more.

Although his wife's death touched him a little, he still couldn't change his amorous habits, although the wives and concubines in the family already had four or five rooms, but outside, there were still many women.

"Dad, what should I do?" the woman sighed faintly, looking at the pile of wives and concubines competing for favor, a little worried for his father.

"Shanshan, the son of the Zhao family has a deep affection for you, and he is also extremely handsome, my Li family and the Zhao family are also close to each other, I think my father should choose a day as soon as possible, let you get married! ”

Li Shanshan didn't speak, just sighed faintly, as if she was not satisfied with his father's proposal, and said, "Dad, you know now that you have no skills!" After speaking, he entered the house.

Xiong Qiang looked at this scene, shook his head slightly, and continued to pretend to sleep.

As time passed, the moon rose into the sky, and the Li Mansion had already quieted down.

The summer wind is still a little cool, Xiong Qiang looked at the starry sky, but he was estimating in his heart, will this flower thief's target tonight be the Li Mansion?

When the whole county fell into silence, it was already the second half of the night, and suddenly, he saw a strange shadow stepping on the moon.

The flower thieves have appeared!
