Chapter 630 Bounty (2)(1/2)
Chapter 630: Reward (2)
Life is like a play, and it is very lively.
Cao Yong looked at Cao Yin's handwritten letter in his hand, and there was only one feeling. The matter became strange. Someone issued a reward order for the world in the name of "aggression" for Fang Baikui, and bought Cao Yong's head for ten thousand taels of gold.
The reward order was issued by Jinan, which was paid a lot of money to summon heroes from the world. Those who responded can directly take the reward from Cao Yong's leader, or try their skills first and receive some deposit for money.
Those who issued the reward order only knew that they were called "Tiger Master". Some said they were the boss of Fujian Green Forest, and some said they were a boat meal. However, money was real, and it was said that they had already dispersed thousands of taels of gold.
Fang Baikui was previously in prison of the Ministry of Justice. Before Cao Yong left Beijing, he had already redeemed the prison and returned to Fujian to sort out the industry. Of course, the charges were large and smaller, and they were replaced by others.
The house in the capital has also been returned.
Among them, not only the Ninth Prince's move, but also the pleading of Cao Yong in front of the imperial court.
According to Cao Yong's words, merchants were ignorant and afraid that excessive punishment would cause civilian businessmen to be afraid of cooperation with the government and affect future bidding.
Not making grievances about civilized things is the principle of conduct between Cao Yin and his son.
Although Fang Baikui stepped forward to get involved in the bidding of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he did not dare to become a mortal enemy of the Cao family because he asked someone to sell him well.
Cao Yong had met Fang Baikui twice, and the impression was that he was a smart little old man who loved to laugh.
No matter how physically the old man was when he left the capital, Cao Yong knew that when he saw the news of this "bounty", the little old man's life had come to an end.
Even if he could leave the capital alive, he would not be able to reach Fujian alive.
Cao Yong sighed and handed the letter to Wei Hei, saying, "How many servants and guards are there in the garden? In addition, what we brought, it seems appropriate? It's okay in the front, so there are no mistakes in the backyard."
Because the Seventh Prince was not here, there were not many servants looking at the garden. Thinking of this, Cao Yong was also a little worried.
Wei Hei read the letter, but was a little surprised.
Before he arrived in front of the Cao family, he had been with his master and heard about "rewards". However, people in the martial arts world have morals and rules, that is, they do not provoke people in the officialdom.
Cao Yong was not only a court official, but also a royal relative. He was "rewarded" in such a slight way, which was so prosecuted by officials.
However, Cao Yong is really a little lucky to have left Beijing now.
The capital is mixed with fish and dragons, and there are dirty and dirty things in it. The Cao family has a large population. If someone wants to ask for it, the safety of the Cao family will be unstable.
Cao Yong came out of the capital and came to Rehe, with the Great Wall in the middle. Those who wanted to leave the pass would have to struggle.
In addition, Rehe is a palace and was originally under heavy control. When the emperor's patrols are at the end of April, the patrols here will become more and more stringent.
Fang Baikui was imprisoned on the eighth day of the second month, and the reward order was issued around February 25th.
After Wang Lusheng returned to Shandong from the capital, he did not go back to Rizhao directly and stayed in Jinan. He did not expect to get the news. He sent someone back to the capital and reported the news to the Cao family.
After going on, Cao Yong received news on the second day of March.
"There were 40 guards in the garden, and the ones here were only 70. The front yard was fine, but the back door had to find a way to transfer more guards to the duty." Wei Hei replied.
Except for Wei Hei, Jiang Jian, Li Wei, Zheng Hu, Zhang Yi and Zhao Tong were also there. Everyone changed their faces after hearing the news.
It took seven or eight days since the reward order was issued. Even if those people set out from Jinan on February 25, they would not want to come directly to Rehe, but they thought they had gone to Beijing.
It will take some time to find out that Cao Yong has left the capital. It seems that there is still some time to arrange it.
Time is abundant, but manpower is insufficient.
If you don’t take the law seriously and eat the world, how can you be good people? Those who dare to go to Beijing and then go out of seclusion and chase after Rehe must have some ability, so you can do whatever you want.
In the eyes of these desperate people, Cao Yong's head was just a golden lump. Who would know what methods they would use?
"Ten thousand taels of gold, sixteen taels are one pound, which means 625 pounds of gold." For some reason, Cao Yong's mind counted these.
Six hundred and twenty-five kilograms, but the size of a sack. Whether it is a carriage or a ship, it is not eye-catching. It looks like a reward from outsiders in Jinan.
However, Fang Baikui was imprisoned on the eighth day of the second month, less than twenty days between the twenty-five.
After more than half a month, I received the news and issued a reward, and it was too late for people from other places to go except the people in the capital.
Ten thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver, this is definitely not a small amount. Especially after bidding in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a large amount of gold and silver were gathered in the capital's money house.
"First allocate the current personnel. If the other party's target is me, that's better." Cao Yong said: "I often stroll around, whether it's to lead the snake out of the hole or to divert the target, and lead the mess outside the garden. I'm afraid that they will do whatever they want and disturb their family members."
Wei Hei hesitated for a moment and said, "Since the young master is worried about the princess, Lao Hei has a suggestion. Although Qi Niang is young, she is skilled and extremely agile. Otherwise, let Qi Niang move into the inner house. After watching this for more than half a month, although she is sometimes naughty, she is a pretty girl."
"Didn't she worry about leaving and want to go back to the south to find her father?" Cao Yong asked, "If there were no master and brother to defend themselves, would the little guy leave?"
"That won't be. Someone looked at her a few days ago, but these days I didn't make a special trip to pay attention to her. Although the little girl was stubborn, she was still a child after all, and she was unsure of her traveling alone." Wei Hei replied.
I was not allowed to see him when I was in the capital. Cao Yong met Fang Qiniang several times along the way.
Chu Yu had also seen him. At first, he thought he was a little boy. The little dagger given by the meeting gift made the little girl very happy and was very intimate with Chu Yu.
When I was bored, the little girl pulled Vanilla to look for Chu Yu, and she really didn't have the awareness of the kidnapped person.
On the other side of Vanilla, they treated the little girl as their daughter, sewed new clothes for themselves and cleaned them up. If Fang Qiniang was willing to change into men's clothes, Vanilla would probably be happier.
Because of this, Chu Yu also specifically mentioned to Cao Yong whether to help Wei Hei and his wife find some good medicine. They have been married for four or five years, and there has not been any movement at all. I think both of them are anxious.
After hearing this, Cao Yong asked his wife not to mention this matter anymore, and he would talk about it after returning to Beijing and found good medicine.
Because two years ago, after seeing Wei Hei worry about having no son, he once looked for the imperial physician to help Vanilla see it.
Vanilla is a symptom of "cold uterus" and is not easy to conceive. In the past two years, there has been no tonic, but the effect has been minimal.
Wei Hei had already cut off his hopes and kept silent about asking for a child.
Although Fang Qiniang was young, she was a little girl after all. Cao Jia was alone and it was not convenient to take her to live there, so she was placed in Wei Hei's house. However, it was in line with the wishes of Wei Hei and his wife. The couple loved each other very closely.
Since he was a person Wei Hei could trust, Cao Yong had nothing to say.
Zhiran never spoke. Jiang Jian, like Cao Yong's intention, believed that he should not lie dormant in the garden. When he went out and walked around, he led the snake out of the hole and looked for clues.
He was already counting the distance from the garden to the palace, but "leading the snake out of the cave" was to lead it. His meaning was that Cao Yong would not ride a horse again when he went out tomorrow, but instead took a carriage.
When I went out to the palace, there was a distance on the way, which was a chance to give the assassin a move.
Only when Cao Yong "travels" on time can those assassins arrange the assassins to act according to this time and distance.
Since the heads offer a reward, what they have to accomplish is not only to assassinate Cao Yong, but also to kill him and escape with the heads.
Since he knew that Cao Yong was a man in the government, he should know that he would definitely take the chief guards with him. Those who knew these things and dared to assassinate him were either very confident in his skills, or they would not be a lone man, but several people.
Cao Yong listened to Jiang Jian's analysis and thought that he wanted to take his wife and daughter out for a trip, but unexpectedly it was a mess. It seemed that before the assassin appeared, he was also "contained" in disguise.
Moreover, since there are tens of thousands of taels of gold as bait, not one or two people who are attracted to it.
"Well. That's it. Starting tomorrow, I will set off for the palace at the beginning of the year (7 o'clock in the morning) every day, and then returned to the garden from the palace at the beginning of the year (5 o'clock in the afternoon). Cao Yong thought for a while and said.
Li Wei listened, stared at the bull's eyes and asked, "Master Cao, it will take five hours. When he came back, it was dark. It was okay in the morning, but when he came back, he was a target. If the other party searched for this kung fu and ran away, it would be difficult to find one at night."
Zhiran held the Buddhist beads in his hand and looked at Cao Yong with a bit of compassion in his expression.
"Get out early and come back late, there are fewer pedestrians on the road." Cao Yong replied.
"Amitabha!" Zhiran held the Buddhist beads and whispered.
Wei Hei's brows became tighter and tighter, and waved his hand, saying, "No, this move to lead the snake out of the hole is not useful. I don't know how many people the opponent is and how good it is. If there is a mistake, who can afford it? It's better to think of another way, or find a few substitutes for the young master."
Jiang Jian nodded and said, "I understand what Manager Wei means, and the students also agree to use a substitute. Adults have a valuable status, so be cautious."
Zhiran had stopped chanting scriptures, raised his head and looked at Cao Yong's reaction.
Cao Yong was stunned when he heard this, looking at Jiang Jian a little curious.
Although Jiang Jian returned to secular life, he was vegetarian and abide by the rules and regulations. Although this suggestion of using a substitute seems more secure, it is extremely dangerous for the person who is a substitute.
Although he cherished his life, Cao Yong struggled a little and was unwilling to bear that sin when he thought that others might die for his own sake.
"Look, let's talk about it." Cao Yong touched his chin and said.
When Zhiran saw this, he had a smile in his eyes and stepped forward and said, "Mr. Wei and Mr. Jiang's proposal, the little monk is willing to do his best..."
Capital City, Cao Mansion.
Cao Yin sat cross-legged on the kang, with his youngest son in a cradle beside him. Looking at Changsheng, his eldest son looked like he was in his mind, and he felt nervous.
"Master, Master..." Seeing her husband's expression was solemn, Li said, "What's wrong with Master?"
"Oh, it's okay!" Cao Yin woke up and said, "The scabs on Changsheng's face have disappeared, and this time it's completely cured."
"Yes, my ancestors bless you. I finally got this little blood. If there was a chance, my life would be ruined." Li held his youngest son in his arms, his eyes full of pampering.
For a moment, Cao Yin felt a little dazzling.
He coughed and said, "What did the wife say? Have you forgotten that there are some brothers and sisters in Yan'er? Even if this kid has something to say, just think that we are lucky. Besides, I'm sorry for the other children."
Li smiled and said, "Look at what the master said, it's all the flesh that fell from my body. Who can't I feel even if I hurt me? It's the third girl, not from my belly, I think she is like Yan'er. But those big ones are all married, and there are son-in-law and wife who are in love with us. We are old and we have to stand aside. It's better than this young one, we naturally have to hurt more when we are by our side."
After hearing this, Cao Yin didn't say anything else.
Speaking of the eldest son, Li calculated his distance in his heart and said, "Master, calculate the day. My son and daughter-in-law have been in Rehe. Didn't they say that it's brighter than in Beijing? The summer is still good, and now I don't know whether it's cold or not. But I forgot to tell them more, not whether they bring thicker clothes."
Speaking of this, Li remembered the fact that the Haidian Garden had spent a few days ago to repair the money, and asked, "Master, before my son left, did he hope that we could follow the escort this year? In that case, the children could see the world, which was cooler than in Beijing. Speaking of which, my son and his wife had been away for a few days, and I thought a little bit. In the past few years, after taking advantage of my wife's fortune, I became the boss. I felt a little tired of this when I picked it up again. Fortunately, the amethyst is still there, otherwise I would be afraid that I would be unable to withstand it."
Cao Yin was pretending to be worried, listening to each other without saying a word, but his mind was concerned about his eldest son hundreds of miles away...
The capital, the circle, the imperial boat.
Kangxi sat behind the desk and said to the person kneeling on the ground: "I will bring my instructions to the sect today and work with the Governor's Office and the General Army Office to investigate and deal with the matter. Eliminate all evil affairs and must bring these lawless bandits to justice."
To be continued...
