Chapter 88 Beheading (Third update please subscribe)
The business of White Tiger Tea Shop has expanded in the past two years.
We have cooperation with various places in Shanyang Prefecture.
Therefore, the information is dozens of times better informed than before.
Trading business, to a certain extent, is also an intelligence channel.
"The drought this year is really weird. It has never been heard of in my uncle's forty years of life."
"Nowadays, everywhere in Shanyang Mansion, except for the Tiandu River next to the city, there is still water. All other counties have suffered from drought to varying degrees.”
"The weather is obviously not hot, and is even cooler than in previous years, but there is no water. This year, the entire Shanyang Prefecture's food harvest will either fail or be greatly reduced."
Zhang Baiyang's mouth , some situations in the entire eighteen counties of Shanyang Prefecture emerged before Fang Yue's eyes.
Drought is weird and hard to understand.
When droughts occurred in previous years, the heat was unbearable and water evaporated, causing the water level to drop, and then there was a water shortage.
This year’s drought is different.
The temperature is obviously normal, but there is no water, and it has affected the entire Shanyang Prefecture.
This situation is completely confusing.
"Oh, by the way, I heard from my friends in the Yamen that the imperial court sent supervisory envoys from Si Tianjian to various prefectures and counties. It seems to be specifically to deal with this drought."
Zhang Boyang continued.
"Si Tianjian? Inspector?"
Fang Yue frowned slightly, feeling strange.
Sending supervisors from Si Tianjian down to deal with the drought, instead of allocating food and grass to deal with the upcoming disaster.
This kind of operation is really weird.
No matter how you look at it, it's not normal.
"Oh, by the way, the Yamen is planning to behead the third elder of the Moshan tribe at Caishikou in three days. There are also rumors that the Moshan tribe is behind this drought."
< br>"I'm afraid it's just the nonsense of a meddlesome person, and it's not credible at all."
Fang Yue nodded, such a large-scale change in the celestial phenomena has affected the entire Shanyang Mansion.
You must know that the area of Shanyang Mansion is equivalent to the size of three or four medium-sized provinces in the previous life.
With such a large impact, this is simply a natural disaster.
How can manpower do it!
If there is someone who can do it, it is not a man, but a god.
"Well, thank you, uncle, for informing me."
Next, Fang Yue and Zhang Baiyang talked about some changes in the current situation.
Most of them are naturally about the war between the imperial court and the Moshan tribe.
The imperial court lost its troops and generals, but the Moshan tribe still stood firm.
This time Liu Xianzun’s move was to publicly behead the three elders of the Moshan tribe and publicize it with great fanfare.
This move may also be intended to lure the snake out of its hole.
Use this to encircle and suppress the masters from the Moshan tribe who came to the rescue.
However, the probability seems to be low.
After all, Mo Shanbu couldn’t think of things that even they could think of.
Finally, when it was getting dark, Fang Yue declined Zhang Baiyang's invitation to stay for dinner and returned to the inn.
~~~~~~
The next day.
At dawn, my brother, sister-in-law and sister had already gotten up early.
After washing up, I naturally took my brother, sister-in-law and others to the street and found a breakfast stall.
"Boss, please bring four bowls of donkey meat soup, ten fried dough sticks, two taels of pickles, and two steamed buns."
It is still a familiar stall, Fang Yue has often had breakfast here before.
Youdao is dragon meat in heaven and donkey meat on earth.
The donkey meat used in this donkey meat soup is firm and thick, with a rich and delicious flavor.
Although there are not many condiments, the taste is more natural and authentic.
"Brother He, we still have dry food to eat. It would be a waste to eat so much."
Fang Cheng roughly calculated that just what Brother He ordered just now, Almost one tael of silver.
Breakfast in this city is too expensive.
The honest and simple Fang Cheng also wanted to save money.
"Everything has been ordered. Brother, feel free to eat. It won't cost much money."
Although Fang Yue is still short of money, what he lacks is thousands and thousands of taels. number.
The further you go in martial arts practice, the more expensive it becomes.
Every martial arts master is simply made of silver, no, gold.
"Oh."
Fang Cheng gave up.
Soon the group had breakfast.
Fang Yue led them to start walking around the city.
The bustling streets and alleys are full of candied haws, dough makers, sugar ball blowers and jugglers.
Soon, my sister and sister-in-law stopped in front of a jewelry shop.
Women, whether they are poor or rich, actually have similar aesthetic concepts.
It will definitely be a joy to see all kinds of jewelry.
As for Fang Yue and Fang Cheng, they were picking and choosing at the rouge shop not far away.
"You two are optimistic. This hairpin is made of sterling silver. The master's craftsmanship is incredible. Look at how well the two flowers are carved. If you wear them, you will definitely look radiant."
The clerk in the shop did not look down on Fang Lan and the two girls, and introduced them to silver hairpins.
"This is a shady store! You are pretending that we have never been out and seen the market! You are lying to us outsiders like this!"
Fang Lan and the two girls were obviously interested, but when they asked about the price . He immediately shook his head and called this a black shop.
Made of sterling silver, the craftsmanship is good, it cost four coins of silver, and it sells for two taels.
You don't even have half a tael for four cents of silver, so you dare to sell it for two taels.
This is not a black shop, any kind of black shop.
"What happened to sister?"
Hearing the noise here, Fang Yue entered the store.
Fang Lan was about to tell his younger brother what had just happened.
When Fang Yue heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
So it turns out that my sister and sister-in-law were bullied.
Silver is the value of silver, and handicrafts are the price of handicrafts. Naturally, they are not equal. Besides, if the store doesn't make money, why bother with all this effort?
Silver jewelry worth four cents is not too expensive to sell for two taels.
"Brother She, let's go, this store is too dark." Fang Lan was also frightened by the price, and immediately pulled Fang Yue to leave.
"Hey, that's it. You guys are standing around. Is this the hairpin you two were looking at just now? The selling price of this hairpin is five cents of silver. The guy is new here and he remembered the wrong price."
At this time , a man who looked like a shopkeeper walked out of the back room. When he saw Fang Yue, he was first surprised, and then said with a smile on his face.
"That's it, let me just say, this hairpin is only four coins, how can it be sold for two taels."
Fang Lan happily picked up the silver hairpin and looked at it. .
In the end, she and her sister-in-law naturally bought two pieces of silver jewelry each.
Fang Yue was not asked to pay, as both of them had private money.
Fang Yue also bought jade jewelry, of course for Chen. The price was also not high, very close to the cost price.
When Fang Yue and the others left, the waiter asked with a puzzled face: "Shopkeeper, who were those people just now?"
The waiter is not stupid either. The look of the shopkeeper showed that those few people just now were extraordinary.
Otherwise, the shopkeeper wouldn’t be so close to flattering that he would just sell it as it is without making any money.
"The person who came in behind is Fang Wuju, a newly promoted martial arts examiner in our boxing gym in the past two years. He is very valued by the old gym owner."
The shopkeeper immediately said in a serious tone.
This shop is the business of Baihu Boxing Gym. The shopkeeper is lucky enough to have met Fang Yue and knows his identity.
I heard Fang Yue's voice in the back hall just now, and felt familiar, so I came out to take a look, and it turned out to be Fang Yue.
Since it is a boxing gym business, how dare he make money from Fang Yue.
Naturally, it is sold as written.
If you report it later, you will not be disappointed, but it can also be regarded as a performance.
~~~~~~
After that, Fang Yue took a few people around for two more days.
Visited almost the entire Xiahe County.
Of course, I didn’t go to the Yudai River. It was inconvenient to go there because I had my sister and sister-in-law.
Of course, since my brother is so honest, it would not be good to take him there.
The third day soon came.
Early in the morning that day, Fang Yue and others woke up to the sound of gongs and drums.
When he opened the window, he saw a prison van approaching from a distance.
"Is that the third elder of the Moshan tribe?"
Fang Yue looked at the tall and strong man in the prison car in the distance, with a height difference of only two meters and sixty-seven meters, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
What did this man eat to grow up, and why did he grow so tall?
Fang Yue has met a lot of people in the past few years. Among them, warriors are often much taller and stronger than ordinary people because of their martial arts training.
But in fact, most people are only about 1.7 to 1.8 meters tall.
Just a so-called seven-foot man.
But the third elder of the Moshan tribe was considered a little giant in his previous life.
And this person looks strong and powerful, not the kind of osteoporosis and weakness shown by "giantism".
"Is this why the Moshan tribe has been able to compete with the imperial court for so long?"
Fang Yue pondered slightly.
This person is the third elder of the Moshan tribe. With his appearance, it is obvious that he is very powerful, probably not inferior to the ordinary warriors of Bone Forging Pass.
If there are more people like this in the Moshan tribe, coupled with the familiarity of the terrain, they will really be a force that cannot be underestimated.
So, I originally didn’t want to watch the lively beheading of Fang Yue.
At this time, I naturally changed my mind.
~~~~~~
Xiahe County, execution ground.
It was a huge crowd today, with thousands of people gathered in the square.
If you want to behead the mountain elders of the Moshan tribe, there will be no shortage of spectators.
Of course, some people in the crowd brought steamed buns.
These are people who happen to have sick rice seedlings at home. After a while, the criminals will be beheaded so that they can dip the steamed buns in blood.
There is an old saying that such steamed buns can suppress evil spirits and cure certain diseases.
"Listen to the criminals below. The Ermo Mountain tribe refused to accept the king's rule. They gathered in the mountains and forests, robbed homes and houses, and harbored bandits. They even resisted in the corner and committed a heinous crime."
"Today The execution will be carried out at dawn, and you and others will be killed as a warning to others!"
The voice of the county official Liu Zheng was strong and loud. Just one voice silenced the voices of thousands of people, making the entire execution ground silent. Come down.
"Hahaha, you have offended the gods, and the gods have punished you by making you suffer a drought for three years. Hahaha"
The third elder of the Moshan tribe, who was tied up layer by layer, laughed wildly.
"Hmph, you are deceiving the public with your evil words. Come on, let the execution begin."
Without further foreshadowing, after reciting the sins of everyone in the Moshan tribe, he immediately ordered the beheading to begin.
