Chapter 51
I have been in Hexi Fort recently and didn’t know what’s going on here. I only learned along the way that I had been in the process of traveling through Yongchang County to Tianti Mountain and Hongshugou. I was prone to encounter wolves on the way to Hongshugou. Many people were suffering. Those who fled back said that the leader of this group of wolves was a big black wolf.
So the magistrate found hunters from Binggou River and ordered them to catch the wolf.
As a result, the wolf was not caught, and more than a dozen hunters in the Binggou River were eaten by the wolf.
Only then did Yao Xingyu realize the harm of these wolves, so he closed the road and sent people to find hunters from all over the countryside, and offered a big reward for the Black Wolf King's head. He even spent a lot of money to transfer Sun, a hunter-born head from Yecheng.
However, the situation did not improve, and the first hunt organized by the hunters ended in failure.
It is said that more than a dozen hunters went out to fight wolves at night, but as a result, they killed one wolf and seven people. Only then did they find that the size of the wolf pack was larger than expected, and the wolf was also amazingly large.
In the end, Yao Xingyu had to increase his bounty, reaching 600 taels. In addition, he also provided food and accommodation for the hunters, and also paid wages, and ordered them to recruit people and eliminate the Black Wolf King within ten days.
The Hunter team quickly expanded from a dozen people to forty or fifty people. They went to the wilderness to dig pits and traps, preparing to fight wits and courage with the Black Wolf King.
I couldn't help but laugh.
So that's it, no wonder Old Man Sun is so excited.
If you control food, accommodation, and money, these guys live a wealthy life, how can they give up? Naturally, they dig holes and traps everywhere and slowly catch them. But seeing the Black Wolf King's head this morning means that their good days are over. Can they not come up and grab them?
When he arrived at the yamen, the notice of offering a reward for the Black Wolf King was still posted outside, and his subordinates went up to reveal the list.
Captain Li at the door saw it, and was surprised at first, then smiled and ran over to greet him.
He rubbed his hands and asked with a smile: "Mr. Nian, did you beat me? Black, wolf, king?"
Judging from his affectionate appearance, he doesn’t look like Captain Li’s usual style?
While nodding, while someone took off the black wolf king's fur, Zhao Xiaonian asked Captain Li directly: "Is Brother Xing here?"
"The magistrate is in Xianghua Building." Captain Li said with a smile: "I will do this little thing, you can get it for 600 taels of silver."
After thinking about it, he added: "Will Mr. Nian go to Xianghua Building later? Lord Yao is on the third floor."
"Call it!" Zhao Xiaonian was confident.
“…”
Captain Li laughed and leaned closer and whispered: "Tomorrow, Miss Fuxiang is going to Liangzhou Prefecture. We are celebrating her."
Miss Fuxiang?
I couldn't help feeling unhappy. Xiao Jinzi was beaten for her and almost made Huang Tingan beat her to death. In the end, she didn't deal with her. It was really not in line with Zhao Xiaonian's usual style. If Yao Xingyu hadn't protected her, she would have to pay the price!
Beauty is in trouble!
"If Brother Xing doesn't come, I won't go!" Zhao Xiaonian suddenly walked inside with his hands behind his back.
You don't bring this on weekdays.
After all, the yamen is a heavy public area, so he can't break in random places without any trouble. He wants to enter, but he dares not stop him, so he has to follow along.
"Where is Mr. Nian?"
"If you don't go anywhere, check something."
While talking, Zhao Xiaonian had already walked through the gate, went straight into the back hall, entered the big garden, looked around, and found that he had made a mistake, so he turned back.
Captain Li hurriedly stopped him and smiled and said, "Mr. Nian, what's wrong, do you just tell me?"
Seeing that he was so sincere and did not hide it, he grabbed his hand and said, "I want to check someone! I have a record in the official file!"
Check people?
It was that simple thing? Captain Li relaxed his heart and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Each county has county annals, and the official archives are still very detailed. This thing is only circulated in the official form, and only people with authority can query it.
But looking at Zhao Xiaonian, he is the owner of Hexi Fortress, so this little power is no problem. Although it is not in compliance with the rules, it is not illegal.
Captain Li stretched out his hand: "Mr. Nian, please come here!"
Go back to the lobby and walk on the side door. Next to the garden in the east wing is the office space for the public office, and the archive room is there.
As he started to leave, Captain Li became curious: "Mr. Nian, the villain has been in Yongchang County for 20 years. Who should I check? Why not talk about it?"
Zhao Xiaonian immediately said: "Ma Xunhuan from Wolongling, his pseudonym is Li Xunhuan. I guess he has the ability to turn stones into gems! Do you know?"
After saying this, Captain Li immediately stopped and stared at Zhao Xiaonian for a long time.
"Go?"
He urged him to leave, but the person did not respond.
Then, Captain Li stretched his neck, like Prime Minister Turtle, and his body didn't understand. His neck moved. A strange expression appeared on his face: "Mr. Nian, are you saying that he can turn a stone into a gem?"
"Yes, I'm lying to him, look, I'll have a lot of tricks from a bastard, half a bag of stones, if I don't find him, I'll lose a lot! Brother Xing is busy, so I'll check it myself!"
Pa-Captain Li smiled, grabbed Zhao Xiaonian's hand, and said with a smile: "Once Nian, Captain Sun, he is a constable in Yecheng. He is arrogant and domineering because he has two bad money in his hand. He doesn't know whether his money is clean..."
"?"
"?"
The two looked at each other and stood quietly without saying a word.
a long time……
"Ahem, then I'll go back first, Fulai Inn."
"Well, Master Nian, go slowly!"
"By the way, I still have two stones and I don't know where to go. I originally wanted to see the girl beauties and admire her..."
"Oh, I understand!"
...
After leaving the yamen, Zhao Xiaonian took his men back directly, while Captain Li wiped his nose and ran to Xianghualou.
After returning to the inn, I heard that it suddenly became quiet outside the inn door. Then a sedan chair arrived at the door, and a person came down from inside. It was Yao Xingyu.
At this moment, Brother Xing's face was extremely complicated, but there was no trace of joy on his liver-colored face. His bright eyes seemed to be stained with crystal clearness and had not yet faded, or he forgot to wipe it clean.
Wearing a red casual outfit, his face was still in a state of rage when he walked in. When the people around him saw him like this, they didn't even dare to say anything. The shopkeeper hid quietly aside and did not dare to come forward.
Fortunately, Yao Xingyu didn't come to find him either. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhao Xiaonian leaning on the second floor and watching him.
Seeing him come in, he greeted him: "Brother Xing, why are you here?"
"oh."
With a cold response, Yao Xingyu didn't say much, and directly raised her pants and put them up on the stairs.
pedal, pedal, pedal.
He walked upstairs a few steps and pointed to the room, as if: "Go in and say."
Nodded in response.
Give instructions to your subordinates, and do not disturb them without orders.
When he walked into the door along the terrace, he glanced at Captain Li, and he smiled.
...
When he entered the room, Yao Xingyu put his gloves in his sleeves, and did not sit down, and asked directly: "Have you deceived me?"
"Bangbangbang!"
Zhao Xiaonian directly clicked on the table, and there was a stone on the table, cursing angrily: "This is all! Look! Damn it, it's so bullying. Can I bear it if the people in Wolongling make a fuss like this?"
“…”
Yao Xingyu looked down and looked,
Only then did I realize that there were a pile of small stones on the table, and there were plates full of them.
Chapter completed!
