Chapter 227: My old man is here to collect the bounty again!
Chapter 227 My old man is here to collect the bounty again!
In addition to missing the bounty, Yu Zhi also heard the news that the county magistrate of Dongyang County near the capital was killed, not at home, but in the government office. Someone wiped his neck and blood flowed all over the place.
The imperial court ordered an official to be assassinated in a grand manner. One can imagine how much shock it would cause.
Yu Zhi suspected that Wen Jiuxiao's departure from Beijing this time was probably related to this case.
Yu Zhi doesn't care about the murder case, she only cares about when Wen Jiuxiao will return to Beijing. When he left, he said he would only go out for two or three days, but now it's the fourth day. Fortunately, he hasn't come back yet.
It must be her sincerity that touched the gods and Buddhas of the heavens and helped her stop Wen Jiuxiao from returning to Beijing.
Today, Yu Zhi spends the whole day at home reading her storybook. She needs to recharge her energy so that she can go to collect the bounty in the best condition at night, so that she can't fall into the name of Guan Shanke.
As for the girl locked in the peach blossom, hehe, she was not the one who was tied up, nor was she the one who was injured. Yu Zhi said that she was not in a hurry at all. Although the sharp sword is good, but one bad one will hurt yourself, you have to give the sharp sword the whole scabbard.
Grind slowly, only then can you sharpen your temper.
Yu Zhi was even thinking about moving him to the Pingbeihou Mansion? The place in Peach Blossom is too small to use it, let alone talk about it, but if there is any movement, the whole alley knows it. The Pingbeihou Mansion is different, the deep house compound, even if she kills people in it, no one will know.
At noon, Lian Wu came back, "Young Madam, that man is on fire."
Yu Zhi wasn't surprised at all, it's no wonder he couldn't afford to burn after suffering such a serious injury. Yes, sir please.
"She has an injury on her waist. You and Cherry will give her medicine first, and then go and find a doctor for her."
Lian Wu nodded in response, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Is the person still tied..." Let go, lest someone run away, Lian Wu saw her kidnap the young lady with a knife. Don't let it go, the doctor saw it...
Yu Zhi also thought of this point, a headache, the number of staff is still too small, if someone under her staff is good at medicine, why is there a need to ask a doctor outside? She herself is also half a bottle of water.
"Let's go!" Yu Zhi weighed again and again, and decided to untie that girl, "Tell her, if she dares to run, she will let her fend for herself, no, if she dares to run, she will break her legs." Yu Zhi said viciously.
After Lian Wu left, Yu Zhi still felt troubled. He finally raised his interest and wanted to recruit talents. Why is it so difficult? I really don't blame her for not being motivated, it's really too difficult to do something!
Forget it, forget it, she'd better continue to act badly, hard work is really not suitable for her.
Yu Zhi slept peacefully all afternoon, she had no idea that her family, Mr. Xiaowen, had rushed back to Beijing before the city gate was closed, and went to Dali Temple as soon as he entered the city, and didn't come out after that.
The winter night was desolate, and even the crescent moon hanging on the treetop seemed to be frozen, and it didn't seem to move for a long time.
Yu Zhi changed her outfit, put on a mask, and appeared under the bounty wall.
There was no one left or right, and the whole street was eerily quiet. Yu Zhi knocked on the wall three times, counting silently to ten, a window appeared on the wall, and someone asked inside, "What's the matter?"
This voice is quite familiar, yo, what a coincidence, I'm still an acquaintance!
Yu Zhi straightened his back even more, "My old man is here to collect the bounty again!" His voice was old, but full of spirit.
"Guan Shanke?" the person inside the wall asked.
"Isn't it my old man? Except for my old man who is chivalrous and dedicated to eradicating violence and bringing peace to the good, and upholding justice, who else can it be?" Yu Zhi likes to put money on her face, but no one knows it is her anyway.
The corner of the mouth of the person inside the wall twitched, and by the dim candlelight, Guan Shanke, who claimed to be old and had bad legs and feet five years ago, was still alive and well after many years!
"Don't want silver bills, but gold?"
"Yes!" Gold is the hard currency, and silver bills are light and fluffy, and they are not as shocking as gold.
Passed a square box from the window, "It's ready, order some." When they saw the familiar kidnapping method, they guessed that Guan Shanke might come to collect the bounty, so they got ready early in the morning.
Yu Zhi smiled openly, "No, no, can the lord still take my old man's silver?" He said no, but his hands were honest, not only opened the box, but also counted the ingots one by one, "We Daqing Officials in the court are the most impartial and honest, anxious about what the people want, thinking about what the people want, doing practical things for the people, and being the reborn parents of the people, good officials! Honest officials!"
Yu Zhi's praise was sonorous and forceful, which is called a righteous word!
The corner of the mouth of the person in the window twitched again, "Thank you!"
"No award, no award, my old man is telling the truth." After getting the gold, Yu Zhi was in a great mood, "Thank you, let's go!"
Yu Zhi picked up the gold and was about to retreat, but stopped, turned back to God and approached the window, "Ask you something."
The person sitting in the window was silent, and Yu Zhi didn't mind, "I remember that the fugitive who hung up five years ago was only two hundred taels of silver, and this little flower picker was only two hundred taels of silver. Why did his value increase by so much? It's the capital city. Have prices gone up?"
The person in the window did not answer.
Yu Zhi guessed, "Could it be that the flower picker is the most heinous crime? No, the old man remembered that the fugitive had several lives in his hands." A small flower picker, stealing incense and jade, how big a crime can he commit?
Because he couldn't figure it out, Yu Zhi's thoughts inevitably diverged, "Could it be that the flower picker has a hidden identity? The secret operation of the enemy country? After the criminal minister? Or the remnant of the previous dynasty?"
Yu Zhi was dissatisfied, "Is that right? You're too mean, aren't you? The old man's mouth is tight, and he won't spread the word to you. Guess wrong? None? Could it be that he stole someone The rich and powerful's wife and concubine provoked the powerful and powerful to be furious, offering a huge reward to cut him into pieces?"
The people inside...
This Guan Shanke really dares to guess, is he a storyteller?
"Neither! It's just that the girl who was harmed by him has several identities..."
Although the words were half spoken, Yu Zhi understood the message, "Understood! Understood!" Isn't that the flower picker who harmed the daughter of the rich? His father has a high position and authority, although this matter cannot be made public, but in private, he still has to make great efforts to kill the culprit who killed his daughter?
"I'm getting old, so I'm bound to be curious, forgive me." Yu Zhi sighed, "Let's go, let's go, my old man is really gone this time."
Make money again! So happy!
Yu Zhi's heart was full of joy, the cold wind was bleak, but her heart was burning with fire.
"Guan Shan Ke!"
Yu Zhi's pupils constricted, he almost lost his mind!
God, when did Wen Jiuxiao return to Beijing? Why hasn't she received any news?
What are you waiting for? run wow!
It’s the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass
