Chapter 474: The 474th Picture: A Trick
Half afternoon.
In the shade under the poplar tree, seven or eight idle men were gathering together and making dirty jokes.
A well-dressed middle-aged man observed them in the corner for a while and then approached.
As the middle-aged man approached, the men gradually stopped talking and looked at the middle-aged man crookedly.
The middle-aged man glanced at several men and said to the one standing in the middle: "Brother, there is an opportunity to make a fortune. Do you want to do it?"
These gangsters would occasionally do some unseemly things from wealthy people, so they were no strangers to this scene.
The man spat out the melon seed peels in his mouth, "What?"
His tone was lazy, and he had the air of a ruffian who had been living on the streets all year round. At first glance, he was not a good bird.
The middle-aged man took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over, "As long as a few people spread the content on this, each person will be paid five hundred taels!"
"How many?"
A man with leprosy on his scalp turned over the melon seeds in his hand in excitement and asked the middle-aged man with wide eyes.
The other men also held their breath and concentrated for a moment.
The middle-aged man's face remained unchanged, with a sincere smile, "Each person will be paid five hundred taels. I can advance each of you one hundred taels now, and I will make up for the rest when you spread the news."
Five hundred taels!
My God!
Don't say five hundred taels, just one hundred taels. They must live frugally, which will be enough for three years, and they will still have enough food and clothing!
It’s enough to open a small shop!
It would be no problem for a few brothers to start a business together.
From now on, you may be on the right path!
The breath seemed to stop at this moment, everyone's throats rolled up and they swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The middle-aged man was very satisfied.
The man in the middle raised his eyebrows slightly, trying his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, with greedy light shining in his eyes, and pretending to be calm, he said: "What news."
The middle-aged man handed the folded paper to him.
Several men around him laughed lowly, "We are all illiterate."
The middle-aged man glanced at them and said, "I'll read it to you."
“This epidemic was not caused by deliberate poisoning. Anyone who uses his or her brain should know how poisoning could create the appearance of an epidemic!
The epidemic spread from the Zhou family's farmhouse in Fengtai.
That farmhouse was run by Shadow Commander Shen Li. His house was not clean, and several people died.
This time, unexpectedly, an infectious disease broke out.
Shen Li was afraid that his reputation would be affected, so he blamed Nanzhao for poisoning.
"
Before the middle-aged man could finish expressing what was on the paper, the man opposite him interrupted him, "Are you trying to bribe us to frame the Shadow Commander?"
When the middle-aged man heard that something was wrong in the voice, he looked up and saw the gangsters whose eyes were filled with greed just now, and his face sank.
He murmured in his mind.
What's going on here?
Wasn't it fine just now?
"This is not a false accusation, this is a fact! It is what it is."
"Hey, I'm such a bad temper! I'm responsible for you, uncle!" The man with the leprosy on his head picked up the middle-aged man's collar and punched him in the cheek.
"There are five hundred taels of silver. If you had changed things, we would definitely have done it, but you are asking us to put the mud of Nanzhao on our anti-epidemic hero. Do you really think I have no bottom line!
Who doesn’t know that our Shadow Commander almost got killed by Nanzhao Kingdom’s bullshit poison! "
"I can do things like burning, killing, looting, etc. in my life, but I can't do this kind of treason and surrender to the enemy!"
"Those bastards from Nanzhao are my sworn enemies, Zhao Er! If I can't kill him, I'll bite him to death! Damn it, he's capable of all kinds of dirty tricks, and he's not afraid of wiping out his descendants! If you have the ability, I'll see you on the battlefield! This kind of people can give people What the hell is poisoning people and causing a plague!”
"We, the people, will suffer this crime if we provoke anyone!"
"Be honest and do your duty. Didn't your mother teach you that when you were a child?
You look like a decent person, but why do you act so meanly?
Framing the Shadow Commander, why don’t you let me frame the Emperor?
What about human nature?
Didn't your mother teach you to be patriotic? "
"Don't talk nonsense. This guy doesn't look like a good bird. I used to hear that the princelings were fighting to the death with the Shadow Commander. Now that the princes are gone, who can still fight against the Shadow Commander? This guy might be from Nanzhao. Didn’t I say that the poisoning was done by Nanzhao State?”
One person’s words reminded everyone.
"possible!"
"Damn it, take him to the official!"
Seven or eight idle gangsters took the man into custody at random. One gangster took off his belt and handed it to his companion, who tied the man's hands directly.
The middle-aged man never expected that he would be scolded by a group of gangsters for not being a good bird.
Do gangsters still have a bottom line?
What is the difference between burning, killing, looting and treason?
Five hundred taels!
"Let go of me, I am not a craftsman from the Nanzhao Kingdom. To tell you the truth, I am from His Highness the Second Prince!
His Highness just couldn't stand Shen Li covering the sky with one hand but couldn't afford to offend him, so he had no choice but to do this. "
A man spat directly into his mouth.
"Fart! On the day the prince was beheaded, the second prince sent a car full of gifts to Shen Li's family to thank his whole family. Who in the capital doesn't know about this? You're fooling me!"
"I heard that the Second Prince's staff have all been disbanded!"
"Let's go and see the official!"
"Hey, let me see if he has any banknotes on him. Brothers, we can't do this in vain!"
"Yeah."
A man started touching the middle-aged man and took out a bag of broken silver and two banknotes with a face value of one thousand taels.
Oh ho!
In the commotion, a group of gangsters took people away to Jing Zhaoyin.
Many busybodies on the road asked what kind of crime he had committed, and a few gangsters loudly said that they had captured Nanzhao Guo Xizuo.
Good guy!
By the time they arrived at the gate of Jingzhao Yinfu Yamen, the team had already gathered thousands of people.
Due to an epidemic, the people in Kyoto almost hate the people of Nanzhao!
When Jing Zhaoyin saw this posture, without saying a word, he directly tied up the person and took him to the prison, and then sent someone to report the shadow at the same time.
By the time the inn received the news, the person had already been taken away by the shadows.
King Ping smashed a tea cup angrily, "You can't even do such a small thing!"
Then, I looked up and saw a piece of paper taped to the wall opposite.
The teacup costs five taels of silver each, please smash it carefully!
King Ping
The fire went straight to the Tianling Gai!
"Who posted this! Who!"
A young chamberlain who was waiting outside quickly entered the room and said respectfully without being humble or arrogant: "This is a message to the prince. It was posted by a servant. I heard the rumors outside and was afraid that the prince would be angry, so I reminded you carefully."
Prince Ping almost couldn't take a breath and just pouted over.
shadow.
The person was brought back and interrogated directly by Gao Li himself.
On the other side, Shen Li was sorting out recent files about Nanzhao Kingdom, and then discovered a problem that everyone had ignored for a long time.
At that time, who had the idea to let the first-rank official of Nanzhao bring such a jade pendant to sue for peace?
