Chapter 29 Public Affairs and Private Affairs
After confirming that the person who caused such a big mess in Bingzhou City was Jia Zhong. Xi Yingzhen made a big fuss in Bingzhou City as Zhang Song said, and made a big fuss in Bingzhou City. He had discovered Jia Zhong's intention and wanted to make a big move in Bingzhou City to find something that Jia Zhong had never found.
Gui Bugui contacted Sishuihao and bribed the Jieduan yamen, and used the excuse that there was an epidemic in the city and began to evacuate the people in the city to migrate outside the city. After An Lushan's rebellion, Jieduans in various places had become a climate. In the early Tang Dynasty, such things had to be reported to the court in advance and the people could be moved after the imperial edict. Now, as long as the Sishuihao has spent money in place, the Jieduan yamen will do it.
Seeing the people of Bingzhou City busy cleaning up the fine lines and preparing to line out of the city. On the city gate tower, Bai Wuqiu said to Gui Bugui beside him: "Old guy, are you afraid that these people will leave with that thing when they leave the city? If you don't do this, you will not know whose hands the thing will end up falling into."
"If it can be taken away so easily, Jia Zhong won't be so troublesome to use the magic circle." Gui Bugui smiled and continued, "What I am curious about now is what kind of forbidden technique that old guy Xu Fu created? Even he is afraid... This is the first time I have seen it..."
When Gui Bugui was talking, Zhang Song also followed him up to the city tower. Fatty Zhang stood beside the old guy and said with a smile: "Gui Bugui, guess what, will Jia Zhong get into the city together? I know that the great warlock is in the city, will he still dare to continue looking for that thing?"
"I've already made such a big noise. Is he willing to give up halfway now?" Gui Bugui looked at Zhang Song and continued, "Although I don't know what kind of forbidden art it is, it must be a big deal for him to rebel from the alchemist. This forbidden art has led more than Jia Zhong, as well as Han Zhongxian, Jiang Hexian and others. Zhang Song, you have also met Xu Fu, guess what kind of magic it would be?"
"That must be an amazing technique." Zhang Song said nonsense and made a face at Gui Bugui. Then he looked at the people waiting to leave the city at the city gate and continued, "As long as you find Jia Zhong, you will know everything. Having said that, are the people who started to take action after they left the city, or should they wait until the night to find that thing?"
"Are you really going to do it?" Gui Bugui smiled strangely at Zhang Song, then looked at a city that had been empty in Chuyuan, paused for a moment, and continued, "What's scary is an empty city, an empty city with nothing..."
Just after the people left the city, the strange foreigners living in Sishui also left Bingzhou City. Then the officials in the yamen searched door to door and confirmed that this had become an empty city, and they were covered with lime in the streets and alleys. After all, these officials escorted the officials in the city to leave. After the last official left and locked the gate of Bingzhou City, the big city, which was still 50,000 or 60,000 people yesterday, has now become an empty city.
The capital was quiet for three days in a row. Apart from the sound of wind and the chasing of wild cats and dogs, there was no sound. On the morning of the fourth day, light rain began to fall in the sky. The dark clouds covered the sun, making everything in the city look gloomy. Four days ago, it didn't matter when there were people here, but now the entire Bingzhou City is empty, and even during the day it looks gloomy...
It didn't take long for the light rain to turn into heavy rain. With the sound of thunder coming from time to time in the air, it seemed as if the city was trembling. At noon, the city gate, which had not been moved for a few days, suddenly opened, and then three officials wearing straw hats and straw raincoats walked in from outside the city.
The three of them were stunned for a moment when they first entered the city, and then the one who led the lead began to mutter: "Is this still our Bingzhou City? Why do they look gloomy? I haven't seen each other for a few days, why do I feel a little worried when I come in again?"
"Brother Zhao, why do you think you are brothers? Don't you know how to be a brother?" Another thirty-year-old official with a sabre on his back laughed and said, "Brother, you are so healthy. Did you go to my sister-in-law's place for the night last night? You can't stand the three wives' body being hit hard, hahaha..."
The youngest official among the three also laughed, "That's right, I live in the tent next to Brother Zhao. The two of their neighbors, who were at least three to five hundred, could hear it clearly."
The official named Zhao brother laughed awkwardly, then raised his face and said, "Stop joking. It's important for us to do a serious business. First, go to the yamen to take out the official documents, and then go to the Li family. Their family is the richest man in Bingzhou, and except for Sishui, they count the big deals between them. My brother went on a business trip to their house two times ago and saw where the money trough was hidden. It was either silver ingots or horse hoof gold. This time they must not take them all away. Leave one or two pieces of money and we brothers will send it..."
"This time I rely on my brother to make a fortune." The official who carried the sword and the young official were also a little excited. The official who carried the sword continued to say: "This matter is dominated by my brother. We two were taken to make a fortune by my brother. No matter how much money there is, brother, take half of it, and let the remaining half of it be divided."
"Let's talk about this at that time. Let's... go to the yamen to get official documents first. God is not good to take care of this day..." After Brother Zhao finished speaking, he led his two subordinates to walk towards the yamen quickly. Not long after, the three of them walked out of the yamen with their bags. Then the three of them ran to the door of the largest family in Bingzhou City. The three of them had some skills, but they did not pick the lock and directly climbed over the wall and entered the house.
Under the leadership of Brother Zhao, the three of them ran directly to the bedroom in the backyard. After entering, they lifted the floor under the bed and leaked out a secret tunnel. The tunnel was extremely narrow, and the youngest official jumped down first. Then an exclaim came from below: "My God... Why do you have so much money..."
"Do not be too slow, hurry up and send all the money..." While speaking, Brother Zhao threw down the bamboo basket tied with a rope, and brought all the gold and silver from the young official who went down.
Not long after, more than 300 ingots of snowflakes and silver with green light were carried up. There were more than a dozen or twenty taels of horse hoof gold mixed in it. After a while, the young official sent all the gold and silver used, and then he grabbed the rope and climbed up.
The three of them did not expect that there would be so much gold and silver, which combined weighed at least more than a thousand kilograms. They could not have been able to take it with them empty-handed, and the military governor outside the city was still waiting for the official document. He was late to go back, and when the day the story of the east and west was revealed, someone would definitely suspect him and the other three.
At that time, the three officials each found a basket, each containing more than 100 kilograms of gold and silver, and then walked out of the family with great difficulty. Originally, they had agreed to take them home to hide them. But now, when the case was suspected of the three of them, they would understand everything when they searched at home. Now the three of them could only find a place to hide the gold and silver...
After thinking about it, a dilapidated temple next to Brother Zhao's house is most suitable for hiding these gold and silver. Now the three of them came to the dilapidated temple and walked around and found a hole behind the dilapidated Buddha statue, which was appropriate to hide the gold and silver here. This is next to Brother Zhao's house, and it is convenient for him to guard these treasures. When the wind is getting smaller, the three of them will divide the treasures...
There were still a lot of straw in the belly of the Buddha statue. When the three of them took out the straw, they found a book book wrapped in oil cloth. Brother Zhao opened the book curiously and looked at it, and said, "What are these words? I saw this ghost painting talisman and burned..."
