Chapter 545: Having a different plan (2)
"Isn't the Ranger King Wang Da on the reward list? If we find this person, it would be best if we can capture him alive. If we can't capture him alive, kill him and borrow his head to deal with the government."
Han Long said calmly, "I have made inquiries these days. When he first came to Nanxiang, Wang Da killed several people with his skill and courage. Now he is being hunted down by the Nanxiang officials with great efforts. I heard that he has been Flee to Bashan."
“Then how do we find this person?”
Liu Hun asked curiously.
Han Long then opened his eyes and smiled confidently, "It's difficult for others to find him because they don't understand the ways of a ranger, but for me, it's not difficult."
A few days later, Nanxiang County Magistrate Li Qiu was handling government affairs. Suddenly, a staff intern from the school came to report, "Report to Mingting, Wang Dafu, who has been doing evil for a long time, has been executed. Someone has brought his head. Please come." See Mingting."
Li Qiu nodded after hearing this, "Please ask the county magistrate and county lieutenant to check it out. If it is true, let's pay the reward and close the case."
The staff trainee did not accept the order and went down. His expression was a little strange, "Go back to Mingting. The man said that he does not want to offer a reward, but only wants to see Mingting."
Li Qiu then raised his head in surprise, "Who got that Wang Da's head? He was so generous that he didn't even ask for a reward?"
"This man's name is Han Long. From what he said, he is from Youzhou. I checked later and found that he only arrived in Nanxiang twenty days ago and is now living in Xiakexing. There is another person with him named Liu Hun. They look a bit like barbarians. These two people had a close relationship with Gongsun Zheng at the beginning."
“Gongsun Zheng?” Li Qiu was slightly startled, “That Gongsun Zheng from Liangzhou Caravan?”
“Exactly.”
This time the Liangzhou caravan came, led by several people, one of whom was Gongsun Zheng.
As one of the few people who knew that his brother cared closely about Liangzhou, Li Qiu would naturally be more concerned about people coming from Liangzhou.
After all, he used various methods to inquire about and spy on the situation in Longxi, some of which he had personally done.
Li Qiu got the exact answer, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then invite him to the front hall."
The ranger who thought he could kill Wang Da was also a tough guy. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the front hall, Li Qiu saw an ordinary-looking man standing there quietly, like an ordinary person.
Seeing Li Qiu come in, he quickly saluted and said, "This little man, Han Long, has seen Mingting."
"No need to be polite, is it Han Zhuangshi who killed Wang Da?"
Li Qiu motioned Han Long to sit down and asked directly.
As a son of a noble family, it is considered a polite way to call you Xiaer with the sound of "strong man".
“It was just a fluke.”
Han Long said modestly, neither humble nor arrogant.
This calmness made Li Qiu feel that he was a little different.
Thinking like this, Li Qiu couldn't help but put away his contempt, "Wang Da has been doing evil for a long time, he is cunning, and the government has been chasing him for a long time, but he has failed to succeed."
"How long has Han Zhuangshi been in Nanxiang? Being able to get his head in one move is not something that can be justified by luck."
When Han Long heard this, he was slightly shocked. He thought that Nanxiang was indeed as Gongsun Boyan said. Although it didn't seem to have walls, it was very tightly monitored. The magistrate of Shangxian County actually knew about me not long after I arrived in Nanxiang.
But he didn't know that Nanxiang added a joint guarantee system on the basis of Dahan's Wushi.
Unless a foreigner has been living in the wild, as soon as he settles down in Nanxiang, there will be countless eyes staring at him. Whenever something is wrong, someone will secretly report it to the government.
There are even bold ones who will swarm people over and take them away to receive the reward.
The minions of the government do not act according to common sense. Special fishing nets, lime powder, long sickle hooks, improved South Korean poisonous crossbows and other items will naturally give the vicious evildoers a taste of what it means to be despicable and shameless.
After all, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives!
Using Rangers to capture Rangers is just one of many methods.
Otherwise there are so many people coming and going from other places, why can Nanxiang be so safe and comfortable?
According to someone's words, it is to ensure a good investment environment.
Seeing Han Long finally show his surprise, Li Qiu felt a little proud in his heart. No matter how powerful the people in the world are, how can they compare to those in power?
Not to mention that my brother's casual plan in Nanxiang can make the rangers come here.
"Han Zhuangshi obtained Wang Da's head, but he didn't want to ask for the reward, but wanted to see me. I don't know why?"
Li Qiu took the initiative in the conversation, finally got in the mood to pick up the bowl, took a sip of tea, and asked.
When Han Long heard this, he quickly calmed down and said, "Back in Mingting, it's like this. Although a certain person is a man in the market, he also knows the words of loyalty. After listening to the book "Unparalleled Loyalty and Righteousness", a certain person felt the bond between Guan and Zhang. "
“Therefore, I want to build an ancestral hall for the two monarchs of Guan and Zhang in Nanxiang, and worship them in all seasons, so as to show some respect.”
Li Qiu thought that this person was looking for an opportunity to advance through the meeting, but he didn't expect to say these words. He sat up straight and said, "What did you say? Build a temple?"
"Yes." Han Long nodded, "I am willing to use Wang Da's reward to build a place to build a temple."
Li Qiu looked directly at Han Long, his thoughts were raging in his heart, but he was speechless for a moment.
Brother makes people spread his words of loyalty, and Li Qiu can naturally guess some of his intentions.
What I didn’t expect was that there were actually people willing to build ancestral halls for the two monarchs Guan and Zhang because of this matter.
What does it mean that people voluntarily set up ancestral halls?
It shows that loyalty is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
At least this is the case in Nanxiang.
Li Qiu retracted his hands into his wide sleeves to prevent Han Long from noticing that his fingers were trembling.
The wind starts at the end of the wind, and the big things appear from the small. Brother's method has already touched the control of public opinion, and Li Qiu can't help but feel nervous, excited, and even a little bit afraid.
The book "Unparalleled Loyalty and Righteousness" not only involves the two princes Guan and Zhang, but also the late emperors.
Whether the late emperor can be enshrined in the ancestral hall by the people is beyond Li Qiu's decision.
Even if he wanted to build an ancestral hall for the two monarchs of Guan and Zhang, he could not agree to Han Long on the spot.
"This matter is of great importance. I need to report it to the court. You should go back and wait in peace. I will let you know when there is news."
Li Qiu forced himself to calm down and spoke to Han Long in as calm a tone as possible.
“Xie Mingting.”
Han Long stood up and thanked him.
Li Qiu thought for a while, and finally reminded him, "What the people need to establish a temple is public opinion. The greater the people's will, the more the court will pay attention to it."
Han Long was very happy after hearing this, "I thank Ming Ting for your advice."
Han Long walked out of the government office, and Li Hun, who had been waiting outside, hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Master, how are you doing?"
Han Long smiled and said, "How can such a big thing be decided at once? But I think the Nanxiang County Magistrate agrees with my proposal."
"That's great."
Liu Hun's face lit up with joy.
The two of them returned to where they stayed and closed the door. Liu Hun then asked in a low voice, "Master, do you think we can really make Lan Ling smile like this?"
“Whether you can or cannot, you always have to try.”
Han Long's eyes showed worry, "This person can write about the secrets of the conflict between Chu and Han. His ancestors cannot say that it is related to the events of that year. If it spreads to Youzhou and those people know about it, I'm afraid they will come to find him. Trouble."
"If the art of war left by Lord Wu An really exists, and those people get clues from Lan Ling Xiaoxiaosheng, find it, and use it to bring disaster to the world, I am afraid that our Han family will become sinners for thousands of years. "
