Li Ye smiled and said: "This is actually because my father is a little troubled. Why worry about things that have not happened? My father thinks that the Yang family wants to organize villagers and put them in armor. That is just my father's guess. What if someone
Is it really a backup?
Besides, even if the Yang family wants to equip the villagers with armor and weapons and want to rebel, that is a matter for the Yushitai and the Ministry of War, and has nothing to do with the Jingzhao Mansion."
Li Dai frowned, "If the Yang family really rebels, I will be responsible for the oversight."
"Nothing unexpected!"
Li Ye interrupted his father's words, "It's An Lushan who wants to rebel. Give the Yang family 10,000 courage and they won't dare to rebel. The few soldiers they have are not enough to fill the gaps in the teeth of the Longwu Army. Father, don't do it for yourself."
trouble!"
"Okay! What do you think we should do?"
"Business is business!"
Li Ye said decisively: "The emperor granted the Yang family 300 armored warriors, so as long as the Yang family has no more than 300 armored warriors, then they are not violating the rules.
As for the extra armor, it should be used as spare armor according to their wishes. Then Qingshan Tower must have a spare warehouse, and there must be a usage and spare ledger for the armor.
The father can clearly request Qingshan Building to establish a spare warehouse and ledger, and then return the soldiers to them and place them in the spare warehouse. Finally, the father can write a complete report and submit it to the Ministry of War. In this way, there will be no loopholes in the law, and the father will not have any problems.
Responsibility."
Although he is a bit deceiving himself, Li Dai also knows that his son's suggestion is the most suitable at the moment. Indeed, the Yang family is doing well, but he has no reason to suspect that they are going to rebel, and anyone else would be anxious.
"You two, how can I invite you to dinner? Do you want me to send you an invitation?"
Pei Sanniang got angry in the yard.
The father and son looked at each other, stuck out their tongues, and quickly got up to eat.
In Qingshan Tower, Guo Guo's wife Yang Yupei and Yang Guozhong were listening to Yang Jian's report.
Yang Jian bowed and said: "Wu Ying is very cunning. He deployed several secret sentries. We killed three secret sentries, but we were still discovered by an extremely secretive secret sentry, which sounded the alarm. Wu Ying escaped first and did his humble job.
If you don’t do your best, please Madam and Prime Minister punish you!”
In fact, Yang Jian and his men didn't even realize that the other party had arranged a secret sentry, and they just recklessly climbed over the wall and broke in.
However, Yang Jian has not been in vain in Chang'an in recent years. He has not improved in other skills, but he has mastered the essence of officialdom. For leaders, sometimes the results are not important, but the attitude and process are.
So Yang Jian wanted to put gold on his face. Although the final result was the same, neither of them succeeded, but his attitude was very serious, and he was cautious and effective in doing things. He killed three secret sentries, but the other party was too weird and hard to guard against, so he used
He failed in the end.
In other words, he has done a good job, but the enemy is too cunning, and no one else would be able to succeed.
Yang Guozhong frowned, "He just ran away. How can we catch him again? Are there any clues?"
Yang Jian said quickly: "The humble position knows that he doesn't have much money. Once he is short of money, he will definitely go back to the capital to ask for money. Either his mother or his sister. If you keep an eye on these two places, you will definitely catch him."
he."
In fact, the Yang family was also afraid that Wu Ying would jump over the wall and assassinate the Yang family children again. Like Li Ye, they wanted to take the initiative to kill Wu Ying, but Wu Ying ran away, which made Yang Guozhong a little bit proud. He is now a member of the Yang family.
The leading figure, if the other party attacks the Yang family, they will definitely start with him.
At this time, Yang Yupei said slowly: "You said just now that the other family didn't succeed either. Who is the other family, Li Ye?"
"It's him!"
"Then how come he didn't alert the enemy and was not discovered by the secret whistle?"
"Replying to Madam, he sneaked in alone, but he hasn't started to take action yet. He just climbed over the wall and was a step behind us. If he had started in advance, he would definitely be discovered."
Yang Yupei nodded, "Before you arrest Wu Ying next time, you must report to me first!"
"I humbly obey my orders!"
"Go ahead! Keep searching."
Yang Jianxing bowed and left. Yang Yupei took a sip of tea and said to Yang Guozhong: "If I guessed correctly, Li Ye was about to succeed, but he was frightened by these idiots."
Yang Guozhong smiled and said, "Third sister, do you have so much confidence in him?"
Yang Yupei snorted and said: "I investigated him specifically not long ago. Two years ago, he sneaked into Jinshan Castle alone and killed Albus and three hundred of his men. To him, there were only a few secret sentries in this manor.
Don’t get rid of them too easily, Yang Jian and the others must have barged in recklessly and frightened the snake, otherwise Wu Ying’s head would have been in front of us.”
"What Third Sister said makes sense, what do you think we should do next?"
Yang Yupei said coldly: "What I mean is very simple. We are responsible for providing intelligence and letting Li Ye kill Wu Ying. Don't let those bastards who are not successful enough and are prone to failure do bad things anymore."
Early the next morning, Li Ye accompanied his father to Wang Yuanbao's house. Wang Yuanbao and Wang Xuanhai personally greeted the arrival of Jingzhao Shaoyin at the gate. Everyone exchanged greetings, and Wang Yuanbao invited Li Dai to enter the house. At this time, Wang Xuanhai
He whispered to Li Ye: "The bounty hunters are here. Does the general want to see them?"
Li Ye nodded, walked quickly to his father and said, "I have something important to do, so it's okay for my father to be alone!"
Li Dai chuckled, "You go ahead! I'll go back to the government office later."
This kind of visit is a courtesy visit. Li Dai only needs his son to guide him, and his presence is not required for specific conversations.
But Wang Xuanhai also wanted to stay with Jingzhao Shaoyin, so he arranged for a chief steward to take Li Ye to meet the bounty hunter.
The chief steward took Li Ye to the side courtyard.
On the way, the chief steward whispered: "General Li, according to the rules, if they are willing to find someone for General Li, regardless of whether they can find someone, everyone must pay fifty thousand dollars for the carriage. You can limit the number of people, ten people, two
Ten people can do it. If there is no limit, they will probably all take over the job, but the cost of transportation will be too high."
Li Ye nodded, "I understand, thank you for letting me know!"
After a pause, Li Ye asked again: "Did they come as a team?"
The chief steward shook his head, "These people all do their own thing and don't interfere with each other!"
"I see!"
With that said, the two walked into a side courtyard, and saw more than thirty people crowded in the courtyard, sitting or standing, old and young, men and women. It seemed that everyone was unique and had their own style.
These people are the more famous bounty hunters in Chang'an City, and their other identity is the Jianghu Rangers.
The Tang Dynasty was an era of knight-errants. Many people with martial arts skills were unwilling to live a mediocre life. After completing their studies, they left their hometowns to look for opportunities. They carried a sword and made their homes all over the world. They traveled around the world and became a unique landscape of the Tang Dynasty:
Ranger.
In fact, there were many similar people in later generations, who also lived all over the world and had no fixed abode, such as those who sold medicine in rivers and lakes, set up stalls and sang songs, and went to the suburbs of every city with big tents to perform Shaolun Wushu or Vase Girl, etc.
Wait a minute, there will be people like this who are at home all over the world in every era.
Rangers in the Tang Dynasty were just a general term for their status, but not their profession. In fact, they did everything, and they did whatever they could to make money. Being a bounty hunter to catch fugitives for the government, and working as a thug and assassin for the powerful, they really couldn't survive.
So he became a gangster, and even fell into the trap of being a bandit. Wei Zizi, who assassinated Li Ye, was originally a bounty hunter, and later became a gangster.
The chief steward clapped his hands and said: "Everyone, this is General Li, the person who is offering the reward. Please gather together, he will tell you the details of the reward!"
Everyone was refreshed and gathered around. This time, Li Ye offered a reward of two thousand guan, guaranteed by Wang Xuanhai. This attracted all the masters, two thousand guan! You won't encounter it once in several years, let alone
With Wang Xuanhai as a guarantee, I am not afraid that he will not pay in the end.
Li Ye slowly said to everyone: "I would like to ask you to find someone for me who is my enemy. This person's name is Wu Ying. He used to play polo in Chang'an. His nickname is Falcon. He is the son of Wu Xin, the former Imperial Academy priest.
, he and his father Wu Xin were sent to Lingnan due to the assassination of the Yang family. At Tongguan Station, his father Wu Xin was killed and Wu Ying ran away.
Last night at Sanshu Manor in Fuping County, I didn't catch him, and he ran away again. His whereabouts are unknown. I can only provide you with a few simple clues. His possible alias is Mao Ping, and his identity is the chief registrar of Fuping County.
, the real Mao Ping is dead. He made a fake fish charm to pretend to be. He may also be called Nie Ying, double-eared Nie, the eagle of the eagle. He may still be in Guanzhong now, or he may have escaped. I hope you dig him up.
Come out and let me know when you find him. In one sentence, if you want to see him alive, you want to see his corpse!"
"Excuse me, General Li, does he have family in Chang'an?" one person asked.
Li Ye shook his head, "His mother and sister in Chang'an are being watched by others. You must not alert the enemy. I can definitely tell you that the information on his mother and sister has been squeezed out, and no clues can be obtained from them.
"
"But there are too few clues!"
Li Ye sneered and said: "If it's easy to find, why should I spend two thousand guan on it? I have so much money that I'm in a panic? If you are willing to do it, please come forward and sign and pledge it."
