Everyone looked at each other in shock. Yes, they were only hired by Sun Bolan before. Even if they had a grudge against the king, they were just acting as "knives". Now, as long as they break the contract and kill Sun Bolan as a pledge of surrender, the king may not turn against him.
Xiong Yi spoke first, and everyone else suddenly became excited. They all thought it was a good idea and all came up with suggestions.
"Brother Qi, outsiders think that we are roaming around the world and enjoying good food and drink, but who knows our hardships, licking blood from the blade of a knife, walking along the river for a long time, who doesn't get wet shoes, and the imperial court is gradually becoming more and more stable, so it can free up its hands to deal with us.
, the world is getting harder and harder to get along with, when we came to Beijing, there were thirteen brothers, but now there are only six."
Seeing Bo Zhen's doubts, Xiong Yi wiped away his tears with emotion, his voice trembling a little.
"That's the reason. Brother Yan wanted to find a way out for us. Back then, Gou Baihu promised Brother Yan that he would be the deputy captain of the ninth grade. He never succeeded in his life. I don't want you to succeed, Brother Seven."
"Brother Qi, let's do it!" Jiang Bo was particularly envious of Bo Yan, and said at this time: "Brother Qi, you can introduce all our brothers to the Prince's Palace. By then, we brothers will support each other and we will definitely be able to do a great job!
"
"Yes, Seventh Brother, kill Sun Bo Lai quickly. We brothers will seek wealth together!"
Listening to the prospects of the brothers, Bo Yan sighed. At this point, even if he wanted to continue to fulfill this business according to morality, the brothers would not agree.
Although his brothers may not have betrayed him, Bo Yan did not want to see his friendship with them cut off due to a single business deal.
Bo Yan was silent. In fact, in terms of income, the income of this group of people is not low. Not to mention that from the ninth rank, even from the eighth rank, one hundred households cannot earn that much.
It's useless if the income is not low, and you can't see the light. It's true that there is no luck in the world for ten years. One or two brothers will be lost every year. How many brothers can continue to lose?
Therefore, the money Yan Zongyun pays every year is very generous, which can promote hundreds of households, so he is confident, and does not want to burn bridges before these hundreds of households are about to be promoted.
Will the acting king burn bridges this time?
But looking at the expressions on his brothers' faces, Bo Yan couldn't help but see the face of Yan Zongyun when he was about to die. He sighed and made up his mind.
"Brother Yan, I feel sorry for you. I have to put your last brother in a safe place."
He nodded and said, "I understand, let's do as you say."
Then he said: "Just killing Sun Bo Lai may not be enough. I also know several spies in several houses, and we can report them together when the time comes."
As he spoke, the faces of Zheng Huai and Pang Si appeared in his mind, and he sighed secretly: "For the sake of my family, life and future, and those of my brothers, I can only feel sorry for you."
Xiong Yi and others were very happy after hearing this.
They have even begun to think about how they can make meritorious deeds when they enter the palace of Dai Wang, and how they can let Dai Wang see their loyalty and ability. As long as they can be valued, promotion will be just around the corner. Isn't this what they have been doing all these years?
Who is working for, not selling? Dare to follow those who can give you a future!
"Newspapers are being sold, newspapers are being sold! Today's new Wenlin newspaper is out! Fresh periodicals! One penny a copy!"
Just at this moment, the newspaper seller's shout rang outside the teahouse.
There are many newspapers and periodicals of Dazheng published in the capital, and there are only a few well-known ones. The Wenlin Newspaper is one of them.
After gathering in the capital, within two years, Wenlin Newspaper was resumed and became popular.
One penny is not much for ordinary people in the capital, but there are actually very few ordinary people who are willing to read newspapers. After all, reading newspapers requires literacy, but most ordinary people cannot read a few words.
Therefore, these newspapers and periodicals are generally sold to lecturers and literati.
After reading it, the lecturer can talk about the contents of newspapers and periodicals in teahouses and wine shops. Whether they are drinking or drinking tea, everyone can listen to it, and they can also know the things in newspapers and periodicals.
Literati are literate, and generally those who live in the capital are not so poor that they cannot afford even a penny of newspapers and periodicals. Furthermore, articles in newspapers and periodicals are often contributed by literati. There is no one who is first in literature and no one in martial arts. There is competition among literati.
, writing one article after another is like playing in an arena. When it becomes lively, there will naturally be more people "watching".
When I heard someone shouting about selling Wenlin Times outside, there were a few tea drinkers in robes sitting near the door. One of them went out and bought a newspaper.
Bo Yan didn't pay much attention to this matter at first, but he couldn't help but watch the discussion, especially the mention of "Dai Wang", which made Bo Yan prick up his ears immediately.
"The front line said that there was no movement on behalf of the king. I didn't expect that last night, I sent Shuntian Mansion to take Shuiyun Temple and take over this den. I am worthy of being the king. If it were anyone else, I might not dare to do this!" The speaker lowered his voice.
The companion also said: "Brother Zhang is absolutely right. I have long heard that King Dai comes from the people and hates evil as much as hatred. Now it seems that it is indeed true!"
"I heard that Shuiyun Temple resisted with bows and arrows, and several officials died."
"What, isn't this a rebellion by killing officials?"
"That's why Shuiyun Temple is said to be a den of prostitution and thieves. I heard that it also harbors the thief Shen San."
"Hiss, it turns out that Shen San is colluding with Shuiyun Temple. No wonder he has been unable to take down the man even though he has killed many people and killed many girls."
They talked in low voices, but Xiong Yi and the others were all Jianghu people with better ears than ordinary people, not to mention Bo Yan. When they heard about Dai Wang, they all stopped talking and just listened to their conversation.
Because soon someone came in with a newspaper and commented on the article on it. People at the previous table also let go of their courage and their voices gradually became louder.
Bo Yan wanted to inquire about the situation so that he could report back to King Dai when he returned, so he walked over, listened carefully, smiled, cupped his hands to them, and asked: "So, it was a good thing that King Dai destroyed Shuiyun Temple?"
A few people were chatting in the mood. When they looked up, they saw that although the person talking to them was not a scholar, he was a young man in military uniform. He was an official and he did not dare to neglect. One of the men with a long face said hurriedly: "Of course, fine.
Otherwise, if we keep the obscene temple, how many female relatives will be harmed?"
Bo Yan listened thoughtfully.
"I wonder what your name is? In which yamen do you serve?" One of the few literate tea guests asked carefully because they were afraid that Bo Yan would be unhappy with their discussion of this matter.
Bo Yan smiled politely and replied: "They are just people in the capital looking for a living."
Seeing a few people who were still a little uneasy, he was now used to the intimidation that his official belt brought to ordinary people, so he became more and more friendly and said: "You continue to chat, I won't interrupt."
After saying that, he returned to his table and said to several brothers: "Let's go without further delay. Let's get this done immediately and don't cause any complications."
As he spoke, he lightly made a scratching gesture on his neck with his fingers. Xiong Yi and the others looked at each other and saw the excitement in their companions' eyes, and immediately stood up.
