Wan Bucheng followed the shouting young man and soon arrived at the best restaurant in the town.
The owner of this restaurant was a powerful local man, and Wan Bucheng did not dare to provoke him. After entering, he restrained himself a lot. Under the leadership of the young man, he went to the private room on the second floor of the restaurant.
Entering it, Wan Bucheng saw a richly dressed old man sitting inside.
The old man was sitting upright with a serious expression. Just sitting there gave him an invisible aura, which made him extremely depressed. Wan Bucheng's heart skipped a beat. It was probably not a simple matter for this old man to ask him to do something. Wan Bucheng stared. He looked at the young man next to him and said respectfully: "Sir, please come to Wan to see what business you have to do."
The old man in the private room raised his head, waved his hand and said, "Let the rest of the crowd wait outside."
"yes."
Wan Bucheng asked the accompanying young man to go out and stand alone.
"Your name is Wan Bucheng, right?" The old man in the room opened his mouth.
In an instant, Wan Bucheng's depressed feeling disappeared, and the pressure on his body disappeared. This old man was surprisingly Yang Luchan next to Li Zhen. He was personally responsible for Wanjia's affairs. After arriving in Wan's hometown, Yang Luchan immediately asked people to investigate Wan's hometown. After determining Wan Bucheng's character, he was notified.
Wan Bucheng was a little nervous and said, "Yes, I am Wan Bucheng."
Yang Luchan smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, I came to see you, I have a business to do with you."
Wan Bu Chengdao: "Please speak."
Yang Luchan said: "You are the local bully of Wanjia Village. You are most familiar with Wanjia Village. You should know how to dispatch bandits."
"Fat bandits."
Wan Bucheng blinked and nodded.
Yang Luchan continued: "Since you know, let's make a deal. What you have to do now is to monitor every move in Wan's hometown. Once you find that a bandit appears, come and tell me immediately. If you confirm that the news is true, I will give you one hundred taels of silver." ,how."
"Hoo, ho,."
When Wan Bucheng heard one hundred taels of silver, his breathing became rapid.
In such a small village, one hundred taels of silver is already a huge amount of money. Wan Bucheng is not a child born into a wealthy family, nor is he the only big landowner in Wan's hometown. He has no money, so he cares about one hundred taels of silver.
He thought for a while and then asked: "Who are you and what are you doing with the bandit?"
Yang Luchan said: "Who else are you looking for to find the bandits?"
"You are from the government." Wan Bucheng exclaimed.
Yang Luchan smiled slightly, and then continued: "Do your job well, don't talk too much, just know it, otherwise, it will not be good for you, go ahead, the money has been placed in front of you, it depends on you whether you can grasp it or not ability."
"Yes Yes."
Wan Bucheng stepped back respectfully, and his heart became excited.
After he confirmed that the other party was a government official, he felt a little calmer.
Because the Qing army under Li Zhen did nothing wrong and kept their word. This was something that the people already knew. Wan Bucheng came to the previous wine shop, sat down, picked up the wine bottle, and drank continuously. After a few sips of wine, he felt more and more happy. He waved his hand and shouted boldly: "Master Wanba, cut half a catty of beef and bring up a small plate of peanuts."
Wan Baye said: "Wan Bucheng, do you have money?"
Wan Bucheng said loudly: "Don't worry, I will pay it out soon. It's just a small amount of money. Hurry, get it."
Master Wanba murmured: "Anyone can speak."
However, Wan Baye still cut three taels of beef and a stack of peanuts and brought them to Wan Bucheng. He put them down with a little force and banged them, then turned and left. Wan Bucheng ate to his heart's content. After being happy, He burped, patted his butt, and left the liquor store. Along the way, Wanbu Chengdu was thinking about ways to find out where the bandits were.
Finally, Wan Baye called his brothers from the countryside and secretly ordered everyone to pay attention to the movement, but they were absolutely not allowed to alert others or leak any information.
When the arrangements were made in Wanjiajia, other counties and towns also had people, and they were all arranged. Not only did the rogues form a network, but the gentry from all major towns and counties also joined in and became one of them. One member.
Entering June, the weather is getting hotter day by day.
On this day, Wan Bucheng came to Wanbaye's shop again, ordered a bowl of wine, and drank it one sip after another.
After several days, there was no news at all, and he felt a little anxious.
After all, it's one hundred taels of silver.
Master Wanba glanced at Wan Bucheng, who was drinking and enjoying himself, and said: "Wan Bucheng, last time you drank, ate meat, and a small plate of peanuts at my place, and you said you would pay me. It's been a few days, and I haven't seen a single penny. Where is your money, huh, you guy who doesn't keep his word."
"Master Wanba, why are you so anxious? We have such a good relationship. Talking about money hurts our feelings. I, Wan Bucheng, keep my word. When I have money, I will be the first to pay it back to you, and then have a good meal at your place to make you happy. Make more money."
Wan Bucheng answered casually, seeming a little absent-minded.
A look of disdain appeared on Master Wan Ba's face, he snorted lightly and ignored Wan Bucheng.
"Master Wan, there is news."
At this time, a slightly sneaky person came over and said.
Wan Bucheng became excited. He stood up, looked around, and then shouted in a low voice: "Low-key, low-key, you know." After saying that, Wan Bucheng stood up and left, no longer caring about what was left in the bowl. Wine, when the young man who reported the news saw that there was still a mouthful of wine left in the bowl, he quickly picked up the bowl and drank it. He yelled that he was happy and followed him.
Wan Bucheng asked: "Wan Fan, where did you find it?"
Wan Fan said: "At the entrance of the village, although the bandits carefully covered their long hair, they could not escape the eyes of the brothers."
Wan Bucheng ordered: "Keep watching, don't alert the snake, I will report it immediately. If the matter is true, we will wait to receive the money. Hehe, one hundred taels of silver is enough for the brothers to have a good meal."
Wan Fan left happily, while Wan Bucheng changed direction and headed towards the restaurant.
Arriving at the private room of the restaurant, Wan Bucheng immediately found Yang Luchan. Wan Bucheng couldn't help rubbing his hands and said with a smile: "Sir, we have discovered the traces of the bandit. Now, can you give me money?"
Yang Luchan stood up abruptly, his eyes fell on Wan Bucheng, as sharp as a knife, and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure, if you use false information to defraud money, you should know the consequences."
Wan Bucheng patted his chest and said: "It's absolutely true. The name of a person is the shadow of a tree. When did I, Wan Bucheng, tell lies? If it is really false news, you can just use my head to report it. You Don’t worry, since it is confirmed news, it will never be wrong. Besides, the long hair of the gangster cannot be fake.”
After hearing Changfa, Yang Luchan knew that the news should be true. He took out one hundred taels of silver, handed it into Wan Bucheng's hand, and said, "Keep watching and report any news immediately."
