Chapter 726 Rewards

Suddenly, someone said something about giving a reward in the chaos, and people didn't care about scolding him, and asked the man what reward he offered and how much it would be.

The man said, "The beautiful county magistrate offered a reward of 2,000 taels of silver to find Qin's family, and her parents-in-law and uncle, "The one who provides information will give you a reward of 500 taels of silver."

After hearing this, everyone started a new round of heated discussion: some people planned to make this fortune, while others scolded Mei Zihan for being a sinister.

"How can I get two thousand?"

"The person must be found!"

"If I get the news, go and tell the yamen. When the yamen sends people to arrest them, they run away again, how can the reward be calculated?"

"Oh, you ask so carefully, just like you know where they are! I don't know either. I'm not from the yamen. Why don't you ask County Magistrate Huo? Look, she's still there!"

"I'm guilty! Poor Qin."

"It's all of them with this surname Mei! Just to frame Lord Huo, she said that she had broken the wrong case, and ignored Qin's life and death and slandered the people for an affair."

"Why are her parents-in-law confused and are making trouble?"

"Yes, it's a mess, I'll lose my face in the Zhou family. How can I be a human being?"

"You don't know that Qin saved a lot of money without hiding her in-laws. The old couple of Zhou's family wanted to control their daughter-in-law, so they helped their younger son bully his sister-in-law."

"Does he want his uncle to marry his sister-in-law?"

"Not that!"

"I saw it last time."

"A beast too!"

"What a beast!"

...

Outside the crowd, Huo Huangying stood on the street with sad eyes, acting as a resentful woman who was betrayed. With this attitude, she aroused the public indignation of women, and also aroused the sympathy and desire for protection of men, and successfully made Mei Zihan suffer from Lingchi humiliation. But she did not give up - the weak only makes people sympathize with, she is not a weak person; Besides, how long can this sympathy last? Now these people sympathize with her, and after a while, they will look down on her. Therefore, after showing weakness, she must establish her authority!

First, she wants to find Qin.

Qin's case was the first case she entered the officialdom and must not be destroyed by Mei Zihan. For Qin's case and for herself, she wanted to overturn the case again and regain her honor and dignity.

Secondly, she wanted to repeat all the cases that Mei Zihan tried again. She didn't believe it: this man used all means to achieve his goal and did not hesitate to frame the innocent. Will there be no loopholes in the case of trial? As long as a wrongful case can be found, Mei Zihan will be completely finished. Although he is already in a downfall, there are still people who are thinking about him, especially those who were released from the dungeon. Maybe he is wronged and is conspiring to save him in private. Humph, she wants to cut off all his vitality!

Just as he was thinking, suddenly Jin'er called "Sir."

Huo Huangying asked with her eyes, "What's the matter?"

Jin'er raised her chin and signaled, "Miss Li is here."

Huo Huangying hurriedly followed her gaze and found that Li Hanyao and others were coming here, and their eyes lit up and they hurriedly met.

Li Hanyao looked at Huo Huangying, and saw that her eyes were calm, neither violent nor sad, she felt a little broad-minded, and asked with a smile: "What are you doing here?"

Huo Huangying said, "It's a reward."

Li Hanyao hurriedly asked, "What is the reward?"

Huo Huangying talked about finding Qin.

Li Hanyao immediately understood her profound meaning and immediately said, "Two thousand taels are too little. You immediately issued a notice: offer a reward of 10,000 taels of silver to find and capture the Zhou family and Qin family. Humph, they must still be in Xiazhao!"

Huo Huangying said happily: "Yes, girl."

Wei Feng raised the corner of his mouth and said, "This Zhou surnamed never dreamed that his worth would be so much money."

Li Hanyao said: "It's not that the Zhou family has a high value for money, but Lord Huo's official reputation is high, far more than 10,000 taels! But a reward of 10,000 is enough, so there is no need to waste it." After that, the other party encouraged him: "Send someone to find him again and publish the reward in the military camp. I'll give you a clue: You ask someone to go out of the city and go to the suburbs to find him."

Fang Mian said: "Yes, aunt."

He glanced at Huo Huangying, a little dissatisfied: the woman who was rolling around in the dust was deceived by a scholar who had just entered the officialdom. It was useless. I don’t know what my aunt liked her and spared no effort to protect her.

He had the same idea as Wei Fengju.

At that moment, Huo Huangying and Fang Mian both ordered and soon offered a reward notice to post it in the streets and alleys. The people suddenly went crazy. Except for the rich who didn't care about this ten thousand taels, those ordinary people wanted to make this fortune, and they all shrunk their heads for clues, and some even sent their whole family.

*******

Li Hanyao and Luo Wuchen were walking on the boat and rowing from the waterway to the Li family courtyard of Xinghua Lane. Fang Mian sent two ships to follow them to protect them. Hu Qingfeng took the vine armor army to guard the shore and pay close attention to the surroundings.

The weather in Jiangnan this year is warm. In late March, many tender lotus have stood on the water surface of the Tianhu Lake, showing the charm of "the small lotus has only revealed its sharp corners". Because it was evening, countless birds returned to their nests, and the chirping chirping resounded through the lake and willow forests. The sunset shone on the lake surface, dyeing the dark green lake water red.

Li Hanyao and Luo Wuchen stood side by side at the bow of the boat, watching the evening scene of Tianhu, looked for a while, and smiled and said, "I walked northwest and then came back to see the scenery of our Jiangnan water town. I feel particularly friendly and beautiful."

Luo Wuchen felt that the word "we" was particularly pleasing and caring, which brought them closer together. He smiled and said, "It's also the season that is good. It's when spring is warm and flowers bloom. The blooming scenery is beyond comparison anywhere else."

Li Hanyao said, "That's not the case. The snow scene is beautiful in winter. - I remember it." He looked at him wearing black clothes and changed his tone and said, "Brother Wuchen, why are you wearing black clothes? But you look good in black, your elegant posture remains unabated, and it adds solemnity..."

Luo Wuchen saw her looking up and down at close range, and the feeling of being paid attention made him very happy. He explained: "In order to track down Lord Huo, he had to hide his movements. Brother Yu has always worn white, which is too eye-catching, so he changed to black."

Li Hanyao said: "Thank you brother Wuchen for your hard work."

Luo Wuchen said, "What's the matter? You have worked hard. You have traveled thousands of miles in two months and have done those things..."

After hearing this, Li Hanyao's thoughts suddenly drifted away, and her eyes also drifted, floating on the new lotus from the lake, filtering the sound of water in her ears, and the sound of birds and wind echoing a person's whisper.

Luo Wuchen looked at her quietly.

Until Xinghua Lane, Li Hanyao still did not come back to her senses. Under the guidance of Tingqin, she followed Luo Wuchen to the Li family courtyard and came to Guanyue Tower.

Luo Wuchen said, "Just sit here."

He sat next to the stone table under the grape trellis.

Li Hanyao responded casually: "Yes."

Listening to Qin, he hurriedly signaled the little maid to bring a cushion and put it on the stone bench, then helped Li Hanyao sit down, and then boil water to make tea.

Luo Wuchen was not making noise Li Hanyao, so he asked the little maid to hold the piano and lower her head to play the piano. The faint sound of the piano was combined with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, which was natural.

The dusk is getting darker and the sound of the piano stops.

Li Hanyao moved.

Suddenly, Luo Wuchen said, "Wang Na should not be willing to detain you. Brother Yu believes that he deliberately indulged you when you can escape from the capital."
