Chapter 5: Generally, important characters appear at this time(1/2)
In just ten days, this wanted order for the saint stealing issued by the court has spread throughout the world.
Those who provide whereabouts will be rewarded with ten taels; those who make them punish will be rewarded with a thousand taels; those who capture the thief alive will be rewarded with tens of taels.
Even when Li Si heard this news, he was shocked.
You must know that the Tang Dynasty gold ten thousand liang in this world is not the same as the Tang Dynasty gold ten thousand liang he knew in his previous life.
The ten thousand taels of gold in this world is a real ten thousand taels of gold.
According to the exchange rate in this world, ten coppers are one string of hangings, one tael of silver for a hundred coppers, one tael of silver for a thousand coppers, and one ingot of silver for a thousand coppers is one tael of gold.
That ten thousand taels of gold is just ten thousand coins, with a total of 100 million copper coins, and it should be as high as a hill when piled up.
In this world where steamed buns are only one copper coin, this money is enough for people to eat for a lifetime.
If you catch yourself, you will have no worries about eating and drinking for the rest of your life.
If he hadn't understood that he wouldn't be able to spend the money, Li Si would have wanted to tie him up and send him to the six doors.
But this also shows the temptation of this money. Even Li Si himself was moved by his thoughts, let alone those people from the world who were used to suffering from the wind and rain all day long.
For a time, heroes emerged in the green forest, and heroes gathered in the world and began to plan the matter of capturing the thief.
All the religions and all the people have taken the banner of capturing the thief.
Even the famous sects that are usually a little harder seem to have made some moves.

On a cliff, white clouds linger.
Clouds and mists over the cliff walls, covering the deep and invisible valley bottom.
Several flying cranes were flying in it, and an old pine tree stood by the cliff.
But it is a good scene of immortals.
On the flat ground between the mountains and rocks, there is a wooden house. The wooden house is simple and elegant, with some flowers and plants planted on both sides.
I have to admit that this is a good place to be isolated from the world and live in seclusion.
At this time, a girl came running on the gravel path in front of the house, panting and shouting.
"Young Master, your son!"
While shouting, he pushed open the door of the wooden house in panic.
In the room, a gentle young man in white was sitting at the table reading a book. When he saw the girl running in, he put down the book in his hand and asked with a smile.
"What's wrong? It looks like the sky is about to fall?"
"Hu, Hu." The girl gasped, patted her chest and said intermittently: "Young Master, it is rumored that the court wants a reward of ten thousand taels to capture the thief."
"Oh?" Young Master Wen Ya smiled: "This is an interesting thing. Ten thousand taels of gold. It seems that Li Si will not be able to be idle during this period."
"Young master, aren't you worried?" the girl asked nervously.
"Worried." Young Master Wen Ya seemed very confused: "Why should I worry?"
"He is your good friend!"
"When did I say he is my good friend?" Young Master Wen Ya smiled even more happily: "I think it's your brother Li Si who is worried about you?"
"Well." The girl's expression paused, her face suddenly turned bloody, and her eyes were so panicked that she didn't know where to look. She said with her hands randomly.
"Who, who is worried about him, I, I don't!"
After saying that, she was already like an ostrich, burying her head tightly, almost lowering her head into the ground.
"Haha." Young Master Wen Ya looked at the girl's appearance, shook his head with a smile, picked up his book and started reading it.
"Don't worry, no one in this world can catch him, not even me."
I don’t know if this is for the girl or for him to listen to it himself.

On the other side.
In front of a mountain gate, a swordsman was practicing swordsmanship. He looked less than thirty years old, but his sword skills were already superb.
A three-foot green streak flipped and moved between his palms. The sword was sharp, but it stopped when it hit. It can be seen that the sword was completely driven by his arm.
In fact, this is true. Almost everyone felt that he had finished his practice and there was no difference between him and Jian.
But he thought he had room to go further, so he kept practicing, day after day, year after year, never stopped.
On one side of the swordsman, an idle man was sitting by the mountain gate in a daze. He looked at the birds in the sky and thrust his mouth.
"Have you heard that Li Si is going to be rounded up."
"prick!"
The swordsman stabbed another sword and said lightly.
"No one can catch him."
The idle man did not refute the swordsman's words, but asked with a smile.
"Then you say, who can kill him."
"Huh!" The sword in the swordsman's hand turned and swept through the air, leaving behind a sound of rushing wind.
"I!" he said concisely, with a sense of determination in his eyes.
"Good sword." The idle man crossed his legs and sat on a stone, gently patting his palm, but there was a smile in his eyes.
"But I think no one can kill him, so do you."
The sword blade in the swordsman's hand stopped and the mountain gate calmed down.
He glanced at the idle man and said with a sword in his hand.
"One day, I will prove it to you."
He doesn't like to kill people, but anyone can kill his sword.
The idle man stopped talking and just smiled.
The swordsman started practicing sword again.
In front of the mountain gate, the sword wind is constantly rising.

In March and April, the spring breeze turns green on the riverside again. People say that this is the most beautiful period of the year in Jiangnan.
Green willows are lined with flowers, fragrant grass is everywhere, lakes are sparkling, water and mountains are all a perfect scenery, people, birds and fish are all part of this scenery.
The landscape is like a painting, and in this scroll, a man in white clothes is walking by the river.
Since hearing about the reward of 10,000 gold, Li Si knew that he had not had a few days to live in peace, so it would be better to take advantage of this time to play in Jiangnan for a while before talking about it.
He was relaxed and happy, with a heavy reward from the court hanging on his head, and he was also leisurely thinking about traveling around the mountains and rivers.
But it is also true. It is rare to come to Jiangnan once. Isn’t it a pity if I don’t take a walk and take a look?
"Cansilk haws, candied haws."
The hawkers were heard on the roadside, and Li Si, who was passing by, immediately stopped and called the hawkers.
"Hey, brother, how much does this candied haws cost?"
He hasn't eaten this thing for a long time, and now he just happened to meet it, that is fate. Since it is fate, wouldn't he have to eat a bunch of it?
"A copper plate."
The vendor looked at Li Si up and down, his eyes were so weird, thinking to himself, he still ate candied haws when he is so adult?
However, his hands and feet were neat, and he wrapped a bunch of candied haws in a few strokes and handed them to Li Si. After all, no one would launch the business that was delivered to him.
Li Si paid the money happily, took the candied haws, and took it a bite when it was opened, but found that a child was looking at him with dirty fingers on the side of the road.
Li Si looked at the child, but the child only looked at the things on Li Si's hand.
The two of them looked at each other for a while, and Li Si smiled and sighed.
"Oh, brother." He turned around and called out to the vendor who was about to leave, and took out another copper plate from his arms.
"Let's have another string."
The vendor is gone.
Li Si had an extra string of candied haws in his hand. He walked to the side of the road and handed the extra string to the child.
"I'll invite you."
The child's eyes were indescribable surprise, but Li Si just smiled very gently.
He patted the child's head, bit his own string of gourds, and walked into a piece of Jiangnan water.
This Jiangnan is really beautiful.
When the child came to his senses and went to find Li Si, he could still be seen.
