Yang Cong came from Pingzhou in the north and took the official road. When he passed Heifeng Village, he was blocked by people from Heifeng Village.
It was just that Yang Cong was willing to spend money, and the boss of the cottage saw that Yang Cong was flying under the banner of the Yang family and had accompanying guards, so he took the money and let Yang Cong go.
So Yang Cong also immediately thought of using copycat bandits to deal with Shen Qingyun.
He was not familiar with Liangzhou City, and he did not dare to find the village by himself. Although it was inconvenient to contact him, it was not impossible.
Yang Cong just sat in the restaurant and put the money on the table. No matter what question he had, someone would answer it.
Yang Cong gave Yang San500 taels of silver notes to send to the village, and gave him another 20 taels for travel expenses.
This Yang San was also jealous of money and actually wanted to pay the bills.
However, Yang San is stupid, but the boss is not a fool. A beating will make him honest.
In Liangzhou City, Yang San brought a robber back to his house.
Yang Cong, wearing a scarf and a hat, said to the two of them: "Since you have accepted my money, I hope you can make things more beautiful."
The subordinate sent by the boss to contact him said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we use money to do things, but I don't know where you want us to rob?"
"Not far away, Xiayang Village outside the city." Yang Cong said leisurely: "By the way, help me kill someone."
"Who do you want to kill, noble man?" His subordinates were also clever and immediately understood that killing was the purpose, and robbing was just to deceive others.
"Soon, there will be a wedding banquet in Xiayang Village. There will be all the property there, so you can just rob it." Yang Cong did not answer directly, only said: "Kill whoever you see, it is best to kill them all." , that five hundred taels is considered a deposit, and I will give you another two thousand taels afterwards."
"Don't worry, noble sir, we will definitely handle this matter."
"Yes." Yang Cong nodded slightly, "In that case, you should go back and prepare first."
"Farewell." His subordinates bowed their hands and left.
Yang Cong looked at Yang San and asked: "Your injury...?"
Yang San just smiled flatteringly and didn't dare to explain, "It's okay, it was all an accident."
Yang Cong took off his bamboo hat and said with a smile: "Well done, I will give you a reward when the matter is over."
"Thank you, sir." Yang San suddenly smiled.
Yang Cong stood up and left. As soon as he went out, two strong men rushed in.
There was a sound of struggling in the house, but the sound did not last long before it became quiet.
Yang Cong turned around and saw that Yang San had been hung from the beam, with his eyeballs protruding and his tongue hanging out, looking like a horrifying death.
"Close the door and let's go."
"yes."
The robbers have never met Yang Cong, they have only met Yang San. No matter whether things succeed or not, as long as Yang San dies, they have nothing to do with Yang Cong.
Killing Yang San would mean severing contact with the robbers, and Yang Cong had no intention of giving him the reward he promised.
Even if a robber is a thief, he has a way, but Yang Cong is not a robber, so he has no way.
This is not how money is spent.
The subordinates here got Yang Cong's promise to return to the village and inform the boss about the matter.
"Xiayang Village...why does it sound so familiar?" The boss rubbed his chin and tried to remember.
The subordinate said: "I have inquired, and it is in the name of Liangzhou City Secretary Nan Bo's Mansion."
The subordinate asked when he left Liangzhou City. As for Shen Qingyun, he didn't know.
"Uncle Si Nan?" The boss was surprised.
Seeing this, his subordinates asked: "Then should we accept this business?"
"Take it, why don't you take it?" The boss gritted his teeth, "Two thousand taels. We brothers have not been able to grab so much for several years. Now we only need to fight once. What about Uncle Si Nan? When the time comes, I will take the money and abandon this Shanzhai, can he still find us?"
The reason is also the same. These people are entrenched here and the government is unable to exterminate them. Even if Shen Xiong gets the military order to suppress the bandits and leads his army, it will be difficult to find them in the deep mountains and old forests.
So they are naturally confident.
Shen Qingyun was still unaware. He ate and slept every day. When he had nothing to do, he would practice calligraphy and study the Tianji Lock.
Of course he is not proficient in any mechanical skills, but he is still idle when he is idle, and he can just be a recreational toy.
"Your Majesty, Lao Zhangtou and Mr. Zhou have already decided on a date."
"Oh? When?"
"Three days later."
"Three days?" Shen Qingyun was stunned, "Are you in such a hurry?"
Zhong Qi said: "They asked someone to count the days. In the past two months, the best days are three days from now. It's a little rushed, but fortunately we have many people, so we are not afraid of not being able to make it in time."
Shen Qingyun hummed, "It's better to be early. Are the invitations ready?"
Country people don't need any invitations at all for weddings and weddings, just a greeting. The only thing they need is Su Chengwang.
Zhong Qi responded: "I asked Zhang Nan to deliver it to the old man personally."
Shen Qingyun nodded and said, "It's appropriate for him to go."
"By the way, is the house still safe?"
"Your Majesty, you mean madam and cousin?"
"I released the news. How have they reacted in the past few days?"
Zhong Qi replied: "I have asked the servants in the mansion, and there is nothing unusual. My wife stays behind closed doors every day, resting and recuperating, but my cousin goes out every day, either to a restaurant or a brothel. "
"That's good." Shen Qingyun nodded slightly, "As long as I live in peace."
Shen Qingyun was worried that the two of them would overreact before, but they had not done anything in the past few days. He must have been pretending that he did not exist because he was not hanging around in front of them.
How wonderful it would be if we never interacted with each other until death.
As winter is about to begin, it gets dark quickly and becomes even colder.
Of course, Shen Qingyun wrapped himself in bed early. In the middle of the night, Shen Qingyun was woken up by a loud shout.
"Lao Qi, Lao Qi..." Shen Qingyun shouted to Zhong Qi.
Zhong Qi pushed open the door and walked in, "I'm about to call the prince."
"What's going on outside?" Shen Qingyun rubbed his brows, trying to drive away sleepiness.
Zhong Qi replied: "Old Zhangtou and the others have captured a few assassins and are about to ask the prince to surrender."
"Assassin?" Shen Qingyun was shocked and his spirit was shaken.
Darling, is this the killer hired by Song Ying and Yang Cong?
After getting dressed and coming to the main hall, I saw Lao Zhangtou and others holding torches and escorting three tied-up people kneeling in the middle.
"Your Majesty..."
Shen Qingyun waved his hand and asked: "What's going on?"
Lao Zhangtou said: "Reporting to the Crown Prince, these three people sneaked into the village at night. They clearly had evil intentions and wanted to murder the Crown Prince. Their subordinates have caught them. Please punish the Crown Prince."
The mouths of the three people were gagged. They looked panicked when they heard this, but they could only make whining sounds.
Shen Qingyun frowned, pointed at one of them and said, "Let him speak."
Taking off the cloth from his mouth, the man quickly took a few loud breaths.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Crown Prince, the villain is not an assassin, the villain is the attendant of Young Master Zhou Bingzhou. The Crown Prince has seen my..."
Zhou Bing?
Shen Qingyun was stunned when he heard this. He knew this name like a thunderbolt.
The Zhou family is a wealthy family in Liangzhou, and Zhou Bing is the young master of the Zhou family and a well-known playboy.
One of them is rich and the other is rich. They are good friends who share the same temperament.
The original person was unlearned and proficient in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, but Zhou Bing was even worse than the original person.
Of course Shen Qingyun kept Zhou Bing at a distance, but he didn't expect that Zhou Bing's people had already found their way here.
"Let's just believe that you are Zhou Bing's man." Shen Qingyun smiled and said: "What kind of tricks are you Mr. Zhou doing in the middle of the night?
Don’t you know that Xiayang Village is the place where my Shen family belongs? "
The man begged: "Your Majesty, it is clear that my young master has taken in a new concubine today. Before the wedding, the concubine ran away. The young master sent us to chase him back. The little people chased him all the way here. It was dark. We can't see clearly and have no intention of intruding into the prince's place. Please let us go for the sake of my young master."
"Nonsense." Shen Qingyun looked cold, "At this time, the gates of Liangzhou City have long been closed. Did Zhou Bing's concubine fly out with wings?
You haven’t told the truth yet, Lao Qi! "
Zhong Qi understood, stepped forward and slapped the man.
This slap made stars appear in his eyes, his eyes were darting around, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
"Say." Shen Qingyun pulled away the piece of cloth from the other person's mouth.
The man was frightened to death and kept saying: "Master Mingjian, we are not lying. Master has a village outside the city, and he has many women in the village..."
Zhou Bing is already married, and there is a young lady in the Zhou Mansion in the city who is being married by a matchmaker.
But in the villa outside the city, there was more than one concubine.
"That's it..." Shen Qingyun smacked his lips, and was relieved to hear that it was not Song Ying.
But this Zhou Bing, don't tell me, is quite enviable.
"It's absolutely true. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, just send someone to another village to ask."
Shen Qingyun nodded and said, "This is natural.
Lao Zhang, take the people down first. Tomorrow morning, go to the Zhou Family Villa and ask Zhou Bing to pick them up. "
"Yes." Lao Zhangtou got the order and called on the people to pull the three of them down.
As the night wind blew, Shen Qingyun shivered unconsciously. He raised his head and glanced at the dark night. He shook his head and sighed softly: "In such a cold weather, this girl is probably going to be disabled. If you want to run away, you can't choose such a place." Time is running."
Shen Qingyun secretly said a pity, wrapped himself up and went back to sleep.
Early the next morning, while Shen Qingyun was still asleep, there was a knock on the door again.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Shen Qingyun was disturbed from his dream, and opened the door with a bad look on his face with dark circles under his eyes.
"If nothing happens, you will be finished, Old Seventh."
Zhong Qi said: "We have found Zhou Bing's concubine."
"Ah?" Shen Qingyun was stunned and asked, "Is the person alive?"
It's a cold and windy night, so you can't freeze to death.
"Not yet, but it will be soon. I have already sent someone to ask for a doctor."
"Where are the people?"
"In the guest room, Aunt Li and Xiaohuan are taking care of you."
"take me."
Shen Qingyun cheered up and went directly to the guest room without washing up.
"Your Majesty." Maid Xiaohuan bowed, "I found her at the back door in the morning. Her body was very stiff. Aunt Li gave her ginger soup, but I don't know if it helped."
Shen Qingyun nodded slightly, but when he saw the person on the bed clearly, he was surprised.
"Qiao'er?"
