"Do you think this is Baekje, and you can do whatever you want? This is Chang'an, the imperial capital. Look to the north, and you will see the imperial city a few hundred steps away! How dare you chop off the heads of these Hu merchants in the Western Market today? Do you want to break into the imperial city tomorrow and chop off the emperor's head? You are so brave!"
"Hush! Wang Sima is out, everyone be silent!"
The soldiers quickly stood up from the ground, stood up straight, put on their helmets, fastened their breastplates, and bowed their heads respectfully to Wang Wenzuo who came out. Wang Wenzuo walked to the rattan box, looked around, and said to the nearest soldier: "You, yes, it's you, lend me your helmet!"
"Helmet?" The soldier was stunned, quickly took off his helmet, and handed it to Wang Wenzuo with both hands. Wang Wenzuo looked at the helmet and smiled: "What a pity, you are small!"
"Small head?" The soldier was startled when he heard this, scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "Compared to my brothers, my head is actually not that small!"
"Really? You'll feel like your head is too small later!" Wang Wenzuo laughed. He kicked open the rattan box, revealing the silver coins inside. He scooped a spoonful with his helmet and waved to the soldier: " Take it! How about it? Do you feel like your firstborn is too small?"
"This, is this for me?"
"Yes, I just said that if you defeat the bandits, all of you will become rich. How can I, Wang Wenzuo, be lying?"
"Thank you, thank you Sima!" The soldier took the helmet filled with silver coins. The heavy weight in his hand made him realize that this was not reality and not a dream. He quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "I thank Sima for his great kindness, little man. Thank you Sima for your great kindness!"
"Okay, after you get the reward, get out of the way and don't block the way of other robes to receive the reward!" Wang Wenzuo waved his hand, took the helmet of the second soldier, then scooped up the silver coins and returned it.
"It's silver, it's really silver!" A soldier who received the reward put a silver coin in his mouth and bit it hard. He took it out to show everyone the tooth marks on it. He couldn't help shouting loudly. He quickly took off his cloak and carefully After folding it twice, he poured the silver coins of the helmet on top and wrapped it up.
"Wang Sima! We also share in this reward, right?"
A big hand like a cattail fan stretched out. Wang Wenzuo raised his head, but it was a Japanese. He had a beard and a face covered with tattoos from forehead to chin. He looked more like a Japanese than a human. It's a wild beast, which makes people subconsciously feel timid.
"You also killed the thief with your own hands, so you will naturally be rewarded, but you have to wait until my people finish collecting them before you get your turn!"
"That's good! But I don't want this!" The Japanese picked up a silver coin, waved it in front of Wang Wenzuo, and emphasized, "I don't want this!"
"What do you want if you don't want this?" The Tang soldier on the side asked curiously: "Do you know, you barbarian? This is silver, much more expensive than copper coins. If you hadn't met our Wang Sima, you wouldn't have touched it at all. arrive?"
"I know you Tang people value silver very much, but you can't eat or wear it, so silk and satin are better. If possible, I would like to exchange my reward for silk and satin, preferably Sichuan brocade!"
"Sichuan brocade?" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "Okay, this is easy to say, Shu brocade is Shu brocade!"
When the Japanese archer saw that Wang Wenzuo had agreed, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Sir!"
Wang Wenzuo rewarded the soldiers and was a little tired. He was about to ask Hei Te Chang to transport the remaining gold and silver back to the Jin Mansion, but he couldn't find anyone for a while. He was thinking of calling a sergeant to find him, but he saw Hei Te Changzhi. Chang Zhi hurriedly ran over with a few horses.
"Quickly, bring up this corpse!" Hei Te Changzhi waved his hand and asked the soldiers to carry a corpse in front of Wang Wenzuo: "Mr. Lang, who is this person?"
"Why do you want me to identify the corpse?" Wang Wenzuo glanced at Hei Qichang in confusion, knelt down and wiped the blood on the corpse's face. However, he felt that the face in front of him looked so familiar, as if it was somewhere else. Seems like I've seen it before.
"Hey! It looks familiar, but I can't remember it for a moment!"
"Lang Jun, do you still remember the Liu Qi you met at the Xiawang Temple?" Black Teeth Changzhi asked.
"Yes, yes, that's him!" Wang Wenzuo immediately remembered this reminder from Hei Te Changzhi, and he took a photo
Lowering his thigh: "That's strange, isn't he from Hebei? Why did he come to Chang'an again? Chang Zhi, where did you find this guy!"
"Just now, my subordinates dispersed the thieves, but they saw several thieves carrying a man and running out. They thought it was the leader of the thieves, so they chased him. However, those thieves would rather die than leave this man behind and escape by themselves. , were caught in one sweep. The last time I saw it was Liu Qi they were carrying, he had already been hit by three arrows and was already out of breath!"
"When we were at the Xiawang Temple, I felt that this person was not an ordinary person. I didn't expect to meet again so soon, but we were already separated from each other!" Wang Wenzuo sighed and murmured to himself. He had a premonition in his heart that this This matter is definitely more than that simple. I am afraid that there is a giant beast hiding under the water, which may rush out of the water at any time and devour him.
"Mr. Lang, do you want Wu Xiaoyi to recognize Liu Qi?" Black Teeth Changzhi asked in a low voice.
"Wu Xiaoyi?"
"Yes, my subordinates suspect that Liu Qi is the instigator behind all this!"
Hei Te Changzhi's words were like a bolt of lightning, piercing the haze in Wang Wenzuo's heart: "Yes, let's find that Liu Wuniang and identify her. Didn't that woman say that? These days, Liu Weili spends all day talking to a man with a Xiangzhou accent. Discussing things privately, isn’t Xiangzhou the land of Hebei!”
Less than half an hour later.
"Congratulations to Mr. Lang for making another great contribution. This Liu Qi is indeed the person hiding behind the scenes!" Black Teeth Changzhi said with excitement on his face.
"Sure enough, it's this guy!"
