"How much? One hundred thousand taels of silver? Is there a reward?"
"You guys in Dongzhou are really not short of money."
"Isn't it too wasteful?"
Zhang Bao was very surprised. He knew you were rich, but he didn't know you were so rich.
"Sir, even if these one hundred thousand taels of silver are given out, they will be used in our Dongzhou. As the saying goes, it is taken from the people and used by the people. It naturally doesn't matter to me, a state shepherd."
"Taking it a step further, this Great Xia belongs to you, and all this money is just circulating on your territory."
Fang Fu smiled and said.
"You are smart, and what you said is true. Even if you get so much silver, you can't keep it forever. You can either buy land or use it for business, and then you will come back slowly."
Zhang Bao also nodded.
"Sir, let me start looking for the rest. I believe it won't take long before I can find them and kill them."
"Killing them all will give us revenge."
Fang Fu said to Zhang Bao.
"Don't worry, I figured out a way on the way."
"At this time, it is very simple to find them and kill them, but I am a little dissatisfied with those Japanese who come to cause trouble again and again."
"It doesn't make sense if I don't let them know how powerful I am."
"This time, the main purpose of my coming to Dongzhou is to attack the Japanese country. This is a wake-up call for me."
"Tell me, if they find out that the governor and other officials in Dongzhou have been killed by them, what will those Japanese do?"
Zhang Bao asked Fang Fu.
"Sir, do you mean to wait for work in leisure?"
Fang Fu's eyes lit up instantly.
"Yes, we are going to the Japanese country. After all, we are far away from the army, and there are not many soldiers and horses who can get there. If a large number of their elite soldiers stay in the Japanese country, it will be easy for us to be concentrated by them. Superior force, annihilate them in one fell swoop.”
"And after we go there, we don't even have any logistical support, so we can only be beaten passively. We might be dragged to death by then."
"But if their people could come over, it would completely turn the situation upside down."
"I believe that the people they can send over are all people from their Japanese country. As long as they come here, I believe that money, food and ships will be consumed. No matter how much action they have on the Japanese side, I believe that they will come here. It fell down after a few times.”
"At that time, it was undoubtedly the most beneficial thing for us to attack."
Zhang Bao explained to Fang Fu.
"Sir, I understand. Let me break the news now. I was assassinated by a group of assassins on the road and was killed."
"In this way, all the processes can be connected. The reward of one hundred thousand taels is not too abrupt."
Fang Fu nodded.
"Okay, as for this group of people, let's break their hands and feet and knock out their teeth and keep them. Maybe they will be of some use later."
Zhang Bao said to Fang Fu.
Soon after, an explosive news spread in Dongzhou.
Mu Fangfu of Dongzhou Prefecture was killed by several women. Two women escaped and a reward of 100,000 taels of silver was offered for their capture.
Stimulated by the one hundred thousand taels of silver, almost everyone in Dongzhou became busy.
Although the news about the murder of the county magistrates in Dongzhou was known before, it was suppressed by the officials and many people could only speculate.
As soon as the murder in the state capital came out this time, the entire Dongzhou people connected the previous events.
Everyone in Dongzhou knew about the process at this time. It was a group of unidentified people who assassinated people in Dongzhou.
The county guards were all in danger.
Originally, according to their estimation of these assassins, they didn't care at all. But after the news of Fang Fu's murder came back, it is no exaggeration to say that not a single county guard fell asleep that night.
They knew Fang Fu's abilities very well. Fang Fu's kung fu was far superior to those of the guards. It was impossible for someone to kill Fang Fu.
But it has actually been done, no matter what the means, these are no longer important.
…
Hezhou.
On an official road, a carriage was running wildly on it.
The driver was Ma Yaner.
Su Xiaoyue sat behind the carriage and was also very excited.
This time, in order to rush on the road as quickly as possible, only Ma Yan'er and Su Xiaoyue came out.
Su Xiaoyue was very happy. This was the first time she left Hezhou alone.
Since Zhang Bao's incident, Su Xiaoyue has not been out of Hezhou. In fact, she was very envious of Ma Yan'er for being able to travel around.
Especially after Ma Yaner came to Hezhou, she told Su Xiaoyue many things about various places, which opened Su Xiaoyue's eyes.
This time, not only can I see Zhang Bao, but I can also come out and see things in other places. For Su Xiaoyue, this is an experience she has never had before.
Now the two of them are running all the way, which is similar to when Zhang Bao and the others rushed to Dongzhou. They have been rushing in this process. Even when they rest at night, one person is rushing and the other is driving, without any delay.
And it’s not too tiring.
There is no need to worry about safety issues along the way. The entire Dongzhou side of Hezhou has been completely taken down by Zhang Bao and the others, and the bandits and the like have been eliminated.
The Hezhou side was already stable, and the Dongzhou side was basically stable with Fang Fu as the state shepherd.
In those states in the south, there were originally some bandit troubles, but after years of fighting, it was like hunting rabbits in the grass. By the time the soldiers crossed the border, they had been completely wiped out.
"Sister Ma, we have been walking for so many days, haven't we arrived yet?"
"Where are we now?"
Su Xiaoyue asked Ma Yan'er.
"Beihai County is ahead of us. We may have walked less than half of the distance. We are so big in summer."
"If we really go from the north to the south, it may take several months."
Ma Yaner said to Su Xiaoyue with a smile.
"It's so far away. It seems like I haven't been out much. It turns out that besides our Hezhou, there is such a big place."
Su Xiaoyue said in surprise.
Along the way, they ate as they went, and the changes and differences were obvious.
This is also thanks to Ma Yan'er who has been outside for so many years and has different insights from ordinary people. She also has enough survival ability even if she sleeps in the wilderness.
Their journey was relatively smooth.
After passing Beihai County, the front is the boundary of Dongzhou.
