Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 627 Set the storm and offer a reward ([-])

Life is like a play, and it is very lively.

Cao Yong looked at the handwritten letter of Cao Yin in his hand, only this one emotion.Things got weird, someone in the name of "revenge" for Fang Baikui issued a reward order in the rivers and lakes, and bought Cao Yong's head with ten thousand taels of gold.

The reward order was issued by Jinan, offering a lot of money, and summoning heroes from the rivers and lakes.Those who are called can directly take the head of Cao Yong to receive the reward, or they can try their skills first and receive a small deposit as a loan.

The person who issued the reward order is known only as "Master Tiger".Some say he is the boss of Fujian Lvlin, some say he eats boat meals.However, it is real to be rich, and it is said that thousands of taels of gold have been scattered.

Fang Baikui had been in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice before, and before Cao Yong left Beijing, he had been redeemed and released from prison, and went back to Fujian to sort out his property.Of course, the crime was changed from big to small, and changed to something else.

The house in the capital has also been returned.

Among them, there are not only the actions of Brother Jiu, but also Cao Yong's intercession in front of the imperial court.

According to Cao Yong's words, merchants were ignorant, and they were afraid that excessive punishment would make private merchants afraid of cooperating with the government, which would affect future bidding.

This is the code of conduct of Cao Yin and his son not to make grievances about common things.

Although Fang Baikui intervened in the bidding of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he did not dare to become a mortal enemy with the Cao family after seeing how he entrusted someone to sell the Cao family.

Cao Yong has met Fang Baikui twice, and his impression is that he is a smiling, capable little old man.

Regardless of the old man's physical condition when he left the capital, Cao Yong knew that when he saw the news of the "reward", the little old man's life would come to an end.

Even if he could leave the capital alive, he would not be able to reach Fujian alive.

Cao Yong sighed, handed the letter to Wei Hei, and said: "How many servants and guards are there in the garden? Including the ones we brought, is it okay? The front is fine, but there should be no mistakes in the backyard."

Because the seventh elder brother was away, there were not many servants watching the garden here.Thinking of this, Cao Yong also faintly worried.

Wei Hei read the letter, but was a little surprised.

Before he arrived at Cao's house, he followed his master through the rivers and lakes, and he also heard about "offering a reward".However, Jianghu people have the morals and rules of Jianghu people, that is, don't mess with people in the government.

Cao Yong was not only an official ordered by the court, but also a relative of the emperor. He was "offered a reward" so generously, which can be investigated by officials.

However, Cao Yong is really glad that he is out of Beijing now.

The capital city is full of filth and evil people, and the Cao family has a large population. If someone wants to ask for it, the safety of the whole Cao family will be at risk.

Cao Yong went out of Beijing to Rehe, separated by the Great Wall, and those who wanted to leave the customs had to spend a lot of trouble.

In addition, Rehe is a palace, and it was heavily guarded by soldiers. When Shengjia patrols at the end of April, the patrols here will be more stringent.

Fang Baikui was imprisoned on the eighth day of February, and the reward order was issued around February 25th.

After Wang Lusheng returned to Shandong from the capital, he did not return directly to Rizhao, but stayed in Jinan. He did not expect to get this news.He made people hurry back to the capital and report to Cao's family.

After tossing and turning, Cao Yong received the news on the second day of March.

"There were originally 40 people in the nursing home on the Yuanzi side, and with our side, there are a total of more than 70 people. The front yard is fine, but the back door needs to find a way to assign more nursing homes to be on duty." Wei Hei replied road.

Apart from Wei Hei, Jiang Jian, Li Wei, Zheng Hu, Zhang Yi, and Zhao Tong were also there. Everyone changed their expressions after hearing the news.

Counting the days, it has only been seven or eight days since the reward order was issued.Even if those people set off from Jinan on February 25, they would not want to go directly to Rehe, as they were going to Beijing.

After arriving in the capital, it will take some time to inquire about the news of Cao Yong leaving the capital.From this point of view, there are still some kung fu arrangements.

Time is plentiful, but manpower is not enough.

How can there be good people who can not take the law seriously?Those who dare to go to Beijing, and then go out to chase Rehe, must have some skills in their subordinates, so they will not hesitate to travel thousands of miles.

In the eyes of these desperadoes, Cao Yong's head is like a lump of gold, who would know what tricks they would use.

"1 taels of gold, 16 taels is one catty, which is 620 five catties of gold." For some reason, Cao Yong counted these in his mind.

620 five catties, but the size of a sack.Whether it is by horse-drawn carriage or by ship, it is not eye-catching.Looking at it, it seems that outsiders are offering a reward in Jinan.

However, Fang Baikui was imprisoned on the eighth day of February, less than twenty days between the 25th and [-]th.

After more than half a month, I got the news and announced the reward, and it was too late for people from other places except the people in the capital.

Ten thousand taels of gold and 10 taels of silver are by no means a small sum.Especially after the Ministry of Internal Affairs invited bids and suddenly gathered a large amount of gold and silver from the banks in the capital.

"First allocate the current manpower properly. If the other party's target is only me, that would be better." Cao Yong said: "I often stroll around, whether it is to lure the snake out of the hole, or to change the target, and lead the chaos out of the garden. I'm afraid they will mess around and disturb the family members."

Wei Hei hesitated for a moment, and said: "Since the young master is worried about the princess, Lao Hei has a suggestion. Although Qiniang is young, she is quite skilled and quick-witted. Otherwise, let Qiniang live Enter the inner house. Looking at it for half a month, although she is sometimes naughty, she is a kind-hearted little girl."

"Isn't she thinking about leaving, and wants to go back to the south to find her father?" Cao Yong asked: "If there is no master and elder brother to guard, will the little guy run away?"

"That's not true. Some people watched her a few days ago, but they didn't pay special attention to her these days. Although the little girl is stubborn, she is still a child after all. She travels by herself and has no idea." Wei Hei replied.

I didn't see her in the capital, but Cao Yong met Fang Qiniang a few times on the way north.

Chu Yu had seen it before, at first he thought it was a little boy, and the little dagger given as a gift made the little girl very happy, and she was very close to Chu Yu.

When she was bored, the little girl took Xiangcao to find Chuyu, she really didn't have the consciousness of being kidnapped.

On the vanilla side, treating the little girl like a daughter, she sewed new clothes for her and tidied them up.If Fang Qiniang is willing to change into men's clothes, Vanilla will be happier.

Because of this, Chu Yu also specifically mentioned to Cao Yong whether it is necessary to help Wei Hei and his wife find some good medicine.They have been married for four or five years, but there is still no movement, and both of them are anxious if they think about it.

After hearing this, Cao Yong told his wife not to mention the matter again, and wait until he returned to Beijing to find a good medicine.

Because in the past two years, after seeing Wei Hei worried about his childlessness, he had asked the imperial physician to help Xiang Cao.

Vanilla is a symptom of "cold palace" and is not easy to conceive.In the past two years, I have been taking tonics, but with little effect.

On Wei Hei's side, his hopes had already been cut off, and he kept silent about the matter of begging for a son.

Although Fang Qiniang was young, she was a girl after all. Cao Jia was alone, and it was not convenient for her to live with her, so she was placed in Wei Hei's house.But it was in line with Wei Hei's and his wife's wishes, and the couple loved each other Qiniang very much.

Since he is someone Wei Hei can trust, Cao Yong has nothing to say.

Zhiran never opened his mouth. Jiang Jian had the same meaning as Cao Yong, thinking that he should not lie dormant in the garden. He should go out and lead the snake out of the hole, looking for clues.

He is already calculating the distance from the garden to the palace, but "leading the snake out of the hole" is to lead, what he means is that Cao Yong will not ride a horse when he travels tomorrow, but will take a carriage.

Going out to the palace, there is a certain distance on the road, which is a chance for the assassin to make a move.

Only when Cao Yong "travels" on time, those assassins can arrange the assassination according to this time and distance.

Since there is a reward for the head, what they have to accomplish is not only to assassinate Cao Yong, but also to escape with the head after killing.

Now that you know that Cao Yong is a member of the government, you should know that he will have a long-term guard with him.Knowing this, those who dare to come forward to assassinate are either very confident in their own skills, or they are not lone rangers, but a few people.

Listening to Jiang Jian's analysis, Cao Yong thought that he originally wanted to take his wife and daughter out on a trip, but he didn't expect it to be an accident. It seems that before the assassin showed up and was arrested, this place was also "grounded" in disguise.

Moreover, since there are ten thousand taels of gold as bait, it is not one or two who want to be tempted.

"Well. That's it. From tomorrow, I will go to the palace as an errand at the beginning of the morning (seven o'clock in the morning), and return to the garden from the palace at the beginning of the morning (five o'clock in the afternoon)." Cao Yong thought for a while and said.

Li Wei was listening, and asked with a bull's eye: "Master Cao, it will take five hours. When I came back, it was dark. The morning was fine, but when I came back, I was making a target. If the other party seeks this time to assassinate I ran away later, but it’s hard to find the ones at night.”

Holding the Buddhist beads in his hand, Zhiran looked at Cao Yong with a kind of compassion in his expression.

"Go out early and return late, there are fewer pedestrians on the road." Cao Yong replied.

"Amitabha!" Zhiran said in a low voice while holding the beads.

Wei Hei frowned more and more, waved his hands, and said, "No, this move of luring a snake out of the hole is useless. I don't know the number and skill of the opponent. If there is a mistake, who can afford it? Or find another way , or find a few substitutes for the young master."

Jiang Jian nodded and said, "I understand what Guanshi Wei means, and the students also agree with the use of substitutes. Your status is precious, so you should be cautious."

Zhiran had stopped chanting sutras, raised his head, and watched Cao Yong's reaction.

Cao Yong was startled when he heard the words, and looked at Jiang Jian with some curiosity.

Although Jiang Jian said he was returning to vulgarity, he was a vegetarian and abided by the rules and regulations.Although this suggestion of using a substitute seems safe, it is extremely dangerous for the person acting as a substitute.

Although he regretted his life, thinking that others might die for his own sake, Cao Yong struggled a little and was unwilling to bear that sin.

"Let's see." Cao Yong touched his chin and said.

Seeing Zhiran, there was already a smile in his eyes, and he took a step forward and said: "The proposal of Master Wei and Layman Jiang, I would like to do my best..."

Capital, Cao Mansion.

Cao Yin sat cross-legged on the kang, with his infant son beside him.Looking at Changsheng, the appearance of the eldest son appeared in his mind, and he felt very worried.

"Master, master..." Seeing her husband's solemn expression, Li was a little worried, and said, "What's wrong, master?"

"Oh, it's okay!" Cao Yin came to his senses and said, "The scabs on Changsheng's face have all disappeared, this time it is completely healed."

"Yes, the ancestors bless you. It took so much effort to add this bit of flesh and blood. If something happens, I'm afraid my life will be ruined." Li Shi held the youngest son in his arms, and his eyes were full of doting.

For a moment, Cao Yin felt a little glaring.

He "coughed" and said: "What did the madam say, did you forget how many sisters Yan'er and the others are there? Even if this kid has an accident, I have the right to treat it as our blessing. If you talk about other things, I'm sorry There are other kids."

Li smiled and said: "Look at what the master said, it's all the flesh that fell from the concubine's body. Who else can the concubine favor? It's the third girl who didn't come out of my stomach. I also treat her like Yan'er. It's just that the older ones are all married, and there are uncles and daughters-in-law who are hurting us. When we are old, we have to stand aside. It's not as good as the younger ones, they will naturally hurt more when they are by our side."

Cao Yin listened and didn't say anything more.

Speaking of the eldest son, Mrs. Li calculated the distance in her mind and said: "Master, count the days, my son and daughter-in-law will be in Rehe. Doesn't it mean that the sky is brighter than Beijing? Midsummer is fine, and I don't know if it's cold or not now." But I forgot to tell the two of them more, I don’t know whether to bring thicker clothes or not.”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Li recalled the restoration work of the Haidian Garden a few days ago, and asked: "Master, before my son left, didn't you say that you hoped that we could follow the retinue this year? In that case, the children will also be able to follow suit." Don't tell me what's going on in the world, after all, it's cooler than Beijing. Speaking of it, my son and wife haven't been away for a few days, and I'm thinking a little bit. In the past few years, I have become a shopkeeper with my daughter-in-law. This is a new Picking it up, I also feel a little lack of energy, fortunately the purple crystal is still there, otherwise I'm afraid I really can't stand it."

After all, Cao Yin pretended to be worried, and listened without saying a word, but his mind was concerned about the eldest son who was hundreds of miles away...

Jidian, Quantou, on the imperial boat.

Sitting behind the desk, Kangxi said to the people kneeling on the ground: "Today, I will take my hand to go to the Zongmen, and jointly investigate and deal with the matter with the governor's office and the general army's office. We must bring these lawless bandits to justice."

"Hey, my servant obeys!" The man kneeling on the ground kowtowed in response.

Kangxi nodded to Wei Zhu who was standing beside him, and Wei Zhu walked up to the man holding the imperial edict on the imperial case.

The man raised his head and accepted the order.

Then I heard Kangxi say again: "I know that you have a deep personal relationship with Cao Yong, so I pointed you to Shandong to investigate this matter in detail. I hope you will do your best and don't disappoint my high expectations."

That person was none other than Nalan Fusen, the imperial first-class bodyguard.

After hearing Kangxi's words, he couldn't help but kowtow again: "I dare not betray the holy grace, so I respect the holy will and do my job wholeheartedly."

Kangxi listened, looked at him twice, and said after a long while: "Kneel down!"

Nalan Fusen agreed, bowed his head and retreated.

After a while, I heard someone outside the door saying: "Huang Ama, my son is here to see you!"

"Come in!" Kangxi stood up and rubbed Famu's arm.

It's Brother Sixteen who came to see you.Seeing Kangxi's gloomy expression, he felt a little uncertain, glanced at Kangxi's arm, wondering if it was Eucharist or not.

Now, what he is most worried about is the emperor's body.

There is the filial piety of a son to his father, and the dependence of a courtier on the emperor.

Kangxi pointed to the Yuqian fold, and said, "That, take a look."

It's not a matter of the dragon's health. Brother Sixteen heaved a sigh of relief, agreed, and went forward to take the brochure to read.

After reading a few lines, his expression changed drastically, and his heart that had just been let go hung up again...
