Entering Yazhou City, Ding Yu was walking on the bluestone street, and suddenly heard someone calling his name above. He looked up and saw that the road was the famous Pine Crane Tower in Yazhou City, and Wu Shuang was poking his head out of a window on the second floor, waving to him: "Little Master Ding Yu, come up and get together?"

Ding Yu walked into the restaurant and saw that in a private room by the window on the second floor, Wu Shuang was eating at the same table with a young man. Seeing Ding Yu coming, the two stood up, and Wu Shuang said, "Little master, you came just in time, we were planning to look for you after lunch." She pointed to the man beside her and said, "This is my brother-in-law, known as Wu Daoming, who is also a person in my hunting village." ”

"Brother, this is the little master Ding Yu I often mention, and it was thanks to him last time that we found the Cloud Python Dragon Cup. ”

After Ding Yu and Wu Daoming saw each other, the three of them sat down separately. Wu Shuang lowered his voice and said, "Little master, Liezhuang has just sent out a head mission, and the bounty is as high as 20,000 taels of silver. It's just that my brother and I are a little moved, but I'm worried about the lack of manpower, so I'm going to find you, if you are interested, we might as well take it together, and after the task is completed, we will score a lot of bounties for our efforts. ”

Twenty thousand taels of silver! The three of them divided equally as much as six or seven thousand taels, if this one is done, I am afraid it will be enough for him to rush into the first-class realm! Ding Yu couldn't help but be moved, and asked, "What kind of task is so richly rewarded?"

Wu Shuang glanced at Wu Daoming, Wu Daoming got up willingly, told Xiao Er Mo to disturb outside the box, and then closed the door, Wu Shuang said: "There is a 'million commercial house' in western Sichuan, with strong financial resources, trade routes all over Sichuan and Shu, and even business dealings with Tubo in the northwest. Two days ago, the bank of the Million Dollar Commercial Bank said that Zhang Million died violently at home, and according to his family, Zhang Million and his younger brother Zhang Baizhao had a banquet all night that night. Early the next morning, the family found that Zhang Million had been poisoned and died, and Zhang Baizhao had been involved in a large amount of property near the Zhang family and was missing.

The Zhang family immediately reported to the official, and the six doors sent dozens of arresters to search for Zhang Baizhao's whereabouts. As a result, a businessman who had just returned from Tubo said that he had seen Zhang Baizhao in the city of Tubo Arrow Furnace. Although western Sichuan is only 100 miles away from the city of Dajian Furnace, it already belongs to the two countries, and it is difficult for the six gates to arrest people in Tubo. Therefore, the six doors offered a reward in the hunting village, as long as Zhang Baizhao was captured and the Zhang family's property was recovered, he would be rewarded with 20,000 taels of silver, whether he lived or died. ”

"This time the hunting village gave such a high reward, firstly, because Zhang Baizhao took away a lot of property, according to my brother's estimate, at least 100,000 taels of silver, so in order to prevent the people on the mission from stealing, to take this mission, the minimum is also the hunter level;

My brother has recently completed a task, and has been promoted to hunter, just enough to take over this task, but the strength of the target three cannot be underestimated, my brother and I can probably withstand the two guard martial artists, but Zhang Baizhao himself has no one to deal with, so he still needs a reliable companion who is not weak in martial arts to join. I wonder what you think, little master?"

Ding Yu quickly weighed it in his heart: if he didn't join, with his current hunter level, he could only receive a trivial task of a bounty of one or two hundred taels, and he didn't know when he would have to wait until he wanted to save up all the prescriptions; if he joined, the reward would be high, and Wu Shuang's personality would be more reliable, and the only concern was that Wu Daoming didn't know whether it was credible. However, judging from Wu Daoming's breathing, movements, and eyes, his martial arts should be higher than Wu Shuang's, and it is a big deal to be in the first-class midstream, and with Ding Yu's current combat strength, there is no need to be too scrupulous.

Thinking about this section clearly, Ding Yu nodded and said: "The little monk is willing to advance and retreat together with the virtuous brothers and sisters, and please take care of the two of you." ”

Later, the three of them went to the entrance of the Hunting Village Hall to take over the head task, and received a simple information about Zhang Baizhao and the two martial artists. It reads: Zhang Baizhao, Chinese New Year's Eve is eight, seven feet three inches tall (according to the Han ruler, one foot is about 23 centimeters), and he has a beard. There is also a portrait below. The other two martial artists are a pair of brothers, Iron Tiger and Iron Leopard, and they don't even have portraits.

Ding Yu looked at this information and frowned: "I'm afraid it's not easy to find a target with this information, and Zhang Baizhao fled to Tibet, can you speak Tibetan?"

Wu Daoming and Wu Shuang shook their heads in unison.

Wu Daoming said: "This is easy to do, let's first go to Zhang Wan's house in western Sichuan, a million trading houses have been doing business with Tubo all the year round, and we can borrow a guy from them who can speak Tibetan and know Zhang Baizhao." ”

The three of them did not delay much, and after lunch, the three of them rode in three, but in an hour or two, they rushed to the west of Sichuan.

When it comes to the Zhang family in Dadu County in western Sichuan, it can be said that everyone knows about it, and Ding Yu and others easily found it.

No need to get closer, you can see a magnificent manor from afar, covering an area of several acres, red walls and green tiles, flying eaves and corners, a pair of male and female stone lions at the gate, the mighty air is coming, at a glance you know that it is a master craftsman carved carefully.

Above the gate, two white paper lanterns are hung, and guests who come to pay their respects can be seen from time to time. When Ding Yu and the three of them walked to the door, a porter with a filial piety cloth tied to his arm came forward and asked, "Are the three of you here to mourn my master?"

Wu Daoming revealed his identity to the porter, and the man didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly reported to the inside. After a while, a young man wearing linen and filial piety came out of the room, and he should be the son of Zhang Million.

Sure enough, the young man spoke: "Zhang Changfeng, the orphan son, has seen three officials. The three orphans already know, please forgive the orphans for having filial piety and no time to accompany each other. Ask the three of them to watch the tea for a while, and the orphan will send the housekeeper to serve. ”

According to the etiquette system, the son who lost his father should call himself an "orphan son" during the white affair, and the eldest son must preside over the condolence ceremony throughout the process, so Ding Yu and the others will not hold Zhang Changfeng at this time and ask long and short questions, and the three of them will go to the side hall to wait for the housekeeper to arrive under the guidance of the servants.

The three of them thought that during the white affair, the main family would preside over various matters, and it would be enough for a housekeeper to take care of such a small matter as sending a man. Unexpectedly, the Zhang Mansion seemed to attach great importance to their arrival, and when the door curtain was lifted, it was not only the housekeeper who came in, but also Zhang Million's uncle Zhang Wuben and Zhang Million's main room, Zhang Wang's family.

Zhang Wuben was the first to sigh: "Alas, although my Zhang family is not a poetic heirloom, they also abide by the way of filial piety. Now that the family is unfortunate, there is a disaster of brothers and brothers, and that evil obstacle actually fled to Fanbang, so disloyal and unfilial, and a person who betrays his family and country, it is really a shame for my Zhang family! The old man implores the three of them, be sure to punish that beast as soon as possible, and my Zhang family will be grateful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Wang knelt on his knees and cried: "The deceased was killed by Zhang Baizhao's thief, and the surviving man washed his face with tears day and night, eager to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, and hated that he had no courage and could not kill the enemy with his own hands, so he could only kneel and beg the three, please bring back the thief's head, so that the surviving person can pay tribute to the deceased husband's spirit."
