Chapter 48
In the past few days, the most talked about by Suzhou people is the exorbitant price offered by the Gusu Murong family.

3 taels of gold, find three monks, who provide effective information, a reward of [-] taels, and for a while, the streets and alleys, government offices, are discussing this matter with great enthusiasm.

At that time, gold had not yet circulated as the main pricing currency, and copper coins were the most used in the market. One tael of gold could be exchanged for about 40 guan coins.

Gusu Murong's reputation has always been well-known in the south of the Yangtze River. It has always been known for its kindness, charity, and righteousness. In Suzhou alone, there are countless people who have received help from the Murong family. Yamen officials have more or less been favored by the Murong family.

It is said that a few monks sneaked into Murong's house while Mr. Murong was out, stole something, and even killed someone. Mr. Murong was so angry that he offered such a generous reward. At the same time, he also offered a condition. , or participate in the arrest, whether successful or not, you can go to Murong's house to choose three martial arts cheats that suit you according to your needs.

As we all know, the Murong family enjoys a great reputation in the world by virtue of the method of "using the other's way, and returning to the other's body". If people in the world can get the Murong family's martial arts cheats, in time, they will definitely be able to show their power in the martial arts world and become a master.

Compared with the sky-high price reward of 3 taels of gold, this condition obviously moved the hearts of people in the world more.

After all, gold has a price, but high-quality martial arts cheats have a price but no market. In the arena, martial arts are regarded as respected. Money is not enough, life is also necessary.

Under the heavy reward, the entire Jiangnan area is boiling. In the past, those yamen fast shifts and head catchers who did not work hard have become upright chivalrous men these days, vowing to fight the evil to the end, and vowing to To bring that evil monk to justice, even though the notice posted by the state government mentioned that the evil monk has high martial arts skills and is not a good person, so you must deal with it carefully, but Mr. Murong also said in the notice that if the government official Murong's family paid an extra 1000 taels of gold to those who died in the line of duty because of arresting evil monks. From now on, the Murong family will support their wives and children.

Three taels of gold is enough for a well-to-do family to live comfortably for a year, and the monthly salary of an ordinary official in the yamen does not exceed at most two taels of gold.

All of a sudden, the whole of Suzhou, and even the nearby prefectures and counties became restless. The government issued an unprecedented reward of up to [-] guan. The sky-high price of the reward.

For a while, the shopkeepers, waiters, and waiters of every inn, tea house, and restaurant stared wide-eyed at anyone who might be similar to the person in the portrait. Come to the hall, for fear that I will miss out on a windfall from heaven.

I heard that the person Murong's family is looking for is a monk. During these days, everyone's eyes on the monk have changed. In the past, no one would look at the monk's bald head. Now, everyone sees the monk's bald head as if Looking at the shining gold ingots one by one, many people who were born bald were also unlucky.

In a deep house compound somewhere in Gusu.

This is another residence of Murong's family in Gusu, not Shenhe Village, because Murong Fu has to personally confirm whether the information is true. After all, under such circumstances, there are many people with ulterior motives who are swindling and cheating. It is a trivial matter to lose some money, and it is a waste of time. Really lost.

Murong Fu was drinking tea with Emperor Baoding and the other three. Gao Shengtai and the others were sent out by Emperor Baoding to inquire about the news. According to the agreement, once Jiumozhi and the others were found, they should not startle them, but send someone to report them directly. , together besieged and killed a few people.

Emperor Baoding said: "Young Master Murong, it has been three days now, and there is no useful news at all. The people who have come these days are all swindling idlers. If things go on like this, I'm afraid I haven't found any trace of Jiumozhi yet. The other party has already returned to Tibet."

Murong Fu smiled and said: "Senior, there is no need to worry, Jiumozhi and others will definitely not leave the territory of Song Dynasty."

Duan Zhengming asked: "How did this start?"

Murong Fu said: "First of all, we searched the waters of Taihu Lake two days ago, but did not find the body of Jiumozhi's junior brother Tian Mani, so it can be concluded that Jiumozhi should follow the habit of the Tibetan esoteric religion and bring his junior brother back. Tubo practiced celestial burials, so it was impossible to hide the body with a corpse.

This time, after the Battle of Shuige, we posted the announcement to all the neighboring states and counties in a fast-paced manner. I can't help it, but once the other party makes a noise, they will definitely reveal their whereabouts. "

"So, the other party may still be hiding in a corner, waiting for an opportunity."

"During this time, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Hmph, how long can Jiumozhi hide?"

Sanben was taken aback, but still felt uneasy: "However, in this case, we still can't find each other. Ordinary gentlemen can't do anything about each other. Even if I meet Jiumozhi alone, I'm afraid it will be bad luck."

"That's why I offered such a huge bounty to build momentum. There must be a brave man under the reward. As long as Jiumozhi shows himself in front of anyone, our search range can be narrowed."

Everyone was silent about it.

In fact, this means taking the lives of ordinary people to force Jiumozhi to show up. With the current level of madness of the other party, in order to hide himself, it is very likely that he will kill the killer when his whereabouts are exposed, so Murong Fu even mentioned the compensation in the reward. arrive.

Jiumozhi's martial arts, Murong Fu and others have seen it before, if a master hurts someone, even if he deliberately hides his martial arts, there will be some clues left behind, these clues are clear to the eyes of the master.

At this moment, Ba Tianshi walked in: "Everyone, the matter has begun."

The four stood up abruptly: "If you have any news, tell us quickly."

Ba Tianshi said: "Just yesterday, a tea merchant in Suzhou passed away suddenly. The cause of death is said to be a sudden illness in the middle of the night. When Tianming's family found out, they were already dead for a long time."

Duan Zhengming said: "I guess it's because I'm overworked, especially I don't know."

Ba Tianshi said: "Coincidentally, this businessman is said to be from Sichuan, and his hometown is in Chengdu. His wife and daughter are planning to transport his body back to Chengdu for burial in the past two days."

Everyone's heart trembled suddenly, and they understood what Ba Tianshi meant.

Duan Zhengming said: "Ba Sikong, quickly take us to visit that family!"

 The national division has been completely blackened
