Volume 1 The Milk Tiger Roars Valley, and the Beasts Are Terrified! Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Grateful Reward
Although Tang Ning wanted to be free, he was still restrained and unable to move under the kindness given to him by Niu San and his wife. In order to repay this kindness, Tang Ning had nothing else to do, only to let the initiator of all this, Nanshan Thief, completely disappear from this world, in order to comfort the spirits of Niu San and the other seven people in the sky.
Maybe there are more, Tang Ning didn't think about Aunt Niu and Xiaoshi and Li Zi for a moment.
Nanshan thieves generally don't celebrate festivals, and they celebrate festivals with the people in the city. When the festival comes, merchants from all over the country will start to go on the last business trip before the festival, they will go further away, sell what they have, and buy some goods that are very in demand in their hometowns to sell back.
At this time, it is the festival of the Nanshan thieves.
Since the merchants of Runzhou City heard that the Nanshan thieves had stopped hurting people recently, they became emboldened and began to walk from this official road at the foot of Nanshan.
It doesn't matter if some tolls are stolen by Nanshan, compared to the loss on the road when taking a detour, these tolls are a drop in the bucket.
Nanshan, together with the Shanghu Lake behind the mountain, and the three small peaks, this radius of thirty or forty miles is under the control of the Nanshan bandits.
If a businessman chooses to take a detour, he will have to go farther, often for more than half a month, before he can embark on the road to his destination. This is a very troublesome thing for the merchants, if the Nanshan thieves do not take people's lives, do not snatch all the goods they carry at once, they are still very willing to take the fair road at the foot of the Nanshan Mountain, and the Nanshan thieves charge some insignificant fees.
Yes, it's just insignificant. Tang Ning looked through the account books, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
God knows what the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty have become, in this era of extreme prosperity and prosperity, the income of a city gate official in Bianjing is more than that of a king in Europe, and everyone is rich and rivals the country.
The Song Dynasty did not suppress merchants for a long time, and the wealth of the merchants can be seen from this.
Closing the account book, Tang Ning sat up straight and stretched his waist, there will be a large pile of seizures sent this afternoon, and he still has a good rest, so as not to be dizzy and miscalculated.
Since the government lost the last battle, it has not been dangling or ambushing at the foot of Nanshan, and the Nanshan thieves will generally not be injured except for the dart master of the Changhong Dart Bureau.
Most of the people who have come to Downing to see injuries have been bitten by wild beasts while hunting, or they have accidentally scratched themselves. And most of these are already hopeless, and Tang Ning can't do anything even if he wants to save them.
There has always been such a saying in Nanshanzhai, called 'Rather see Yama, not Ning Ge'er', because Tang Ning is ruthless, he has to dismantle his arms and legs at every turn, and Nanshan thieves are not as persevering as those disabled veterans who came down from the battlefield, so life without arms and legs is worse than death for them.
However, since Tang Ning came, the battle loss rate of the Nanshan bandits has indeed dropped greatly. In the past, ten of the ten seriously injured people died, but now two out of ten have died, and the two of them are blamed for their bad luck.
Therefore, everyone in Nanshanzhai loves and hates Tang Ning, which is the above sentence.
No one came to Tang Ning for treatment, and in addition to counting, it didn't take too long to keep accounts. So during the day, Tang Ning tinkered with his own liquor, and there was no suitable thing at hand for distillation, so Tang Ning could only take a sip of tasteless liquor with a sad face, how could this be sold for money?
Liu Ling laughed and quacked, and the ghost appeared behind Tang Ning and said, "I can't see that you are still an alcoholic at a young age!" ”
Tang Ning rolled his eyes and said, "What kind of wine are you fond of, the master is going to make money with this thing in the future." You can faint when you drink this kind of undistilled liquor, you are still the first one you have ever seen, don't pretend to understand. ”
Liu Ling's face was full of embarrassment, he really didn't know how to drink. Unlike other secret agents of the Martial Arts Division, Liu Ling grew up in the Martial Arts Division since he was a child.
Thousands of cups are not drunk is a skill that must be mastered by the secret agents of the Wu De Division, otherwise it is very likely that others will talk when they are drinking and talking. But no matter how the martial arts envoy cultivated, he still couldn't drink after all. I have asked a lot of people, they are all confused, everyone knows that the amount of alcohol is drunk, but Liu Ling paid for his own sip and drank it without a sip, why is it still not good?
asked Tang Ning, Tang Ning only said that some people are born like this, no way. So Liu Ling wondered if this kid was not good at learning and didn't know how to treat it at all, so he said this sentence to fool himself, and when he found his master, he must let his master help.
Before the afternoon, four or five minions came back with four carts full of goods, and when they were far away, they began to shout that today's harvest was good.
Tang Ning also walked out of the hut, and when a few people came to the front with a cart, Tang Ning asked, "Why are you back after noon?" Didn't you come back in the afternoon? ”
The minions smirked and said: "In half a month is Xiao Nian, those fat pigs running all over the ground come to Runzhou from other places to catch up with the Wei (catch the market), since they heard that the grandfathers are no longer dead, they are bold enough to dare to go under the mountain."
Brother Ning, we got more things back this morning than we got together in the past few days! ”
Runzhou is connected by land and water, which is an important place in the throat, and Tang Ning expected that collecting tolls here would definitely make a lot of money, but he didn't expect that today alone, he would collect more than 100 loads of grain and seventy or eighty taels of silver, among which there are some miscellaneous goods, although they are not expensive, but they also have their own value.
Tang Ning looked at it bluntly, and Liu Ling frowned and didn't know what he was thinking. The group of minions waited for Tang Ning to roughly count them, and then rubbed their hands and waited aside. Tang Ning threw a few pieces of broken silver over, and a group of people immediately thanked them, and then ran away happily.
"If such money and grain are put into the treasury......"
"Why do you want all the good things? Isn't it enough to occupy the benefits of salt iron tea wine? Tang Ning threw a hosta at Liu Ling as he spoke.
Liu Ling took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "Huh? That's a good thing! ”
"This is a good thing?" Tang Ning walked over and said suspiciously: "Then you pay me back." ”
"What you threw to me means that you gave it to me, and the fool will pay you back." Liu Ling said and took the hosta into his arms vigilantly.
Tang Ning sneered and said, "I thought that you spies were unmoved by foreign objects, but I didn't expect you to be such a person with thick eyebrows and big eyes." ”
Liu Ling's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, and he asked rhetorically: "The secret agent doesn't eat?" Agents don't need to wear clothes, huh? Agents deserve not to find women for the rest of their lives, right? ”
"You eat the food of the official family, wear the clothes of the official family, and if you do a good job, maybe the official family will reward you with a palace maid, what is the use of you asking for this thing? Swear black is white.! ”
"Humph! Do you dare to ask for a woman in the palace? Grandpa still hasn't figured out how many of those palace maids who seem harmless to humans and animals belong to the Wude Division! ”
"So once the emperor rewards others with beautiful women, he is actually planting eyeliner in other people's homes?"
"Why are you so ugly? That's not an eyeliner, that's a reward from the officials, you have to be grateful......"
Tang Ning pursed his lips and was not ready to pay any more attention to this guy who had already dedicated himself to the emperor, and began to carefully count the seizures that had just been sent by the minions.
Although he hated Nanshan in his heart, in order to take revenge, he could only bury this hatred in his heart for the time being.
It was very simple for Tang Ning to kill Han Xiong, he didn't even need to join the Nanshan Bandits. It is also very simple to kill Zhao Ren and Wang Qing. But Tang Ning is not prepared to do this, he is not prepared to put this hatred on one person, in that case, the person who bears this hatred will end very miserably.
He wanted to kill all the robbers on Nanshan and bury the seven graves with corpses in Rooster Ridge.
Of course, this process is risky, and if it is discovered, there is a high probability that he will go to the funeral by himself. So before that, Tang Ning was mostly disguised, pretending to be a harmless ten-year-old child.
Liu Ling said that when the Nanshan thieves were on the first day, Han Xiong would hold an annual large-scale celebration banquet.
Therefore, Yuan Ri is a good day, and Tang Ning feels that it is necessary to push the Nanshan thieves into the fork in the road to destruction on Yuan Ri......
