Chapter 40: Receiving the Reward

"Husband, is this really okay?"

I don't know if the news of a thousand taels of gold buying the head of the Khitan envoy Xiang Shangren has spread, Tang Ning was lying on the bed, hugging Wang Shi to think about the next countermeasure.

However, Wang Shi was full of worry, looked at Tang Ning and asked softly.

Tang Ning knew that Wang Shi was not worried about the 1,000 taels of gold, although this money was not a small amount for the Tang family, but it was not to the point of breaking the bones.

That is, the balance of the family for one or two years, if it is not enough, there are real estate shops in various places that can be sold, and these add up to several thousand taels of gold.

Stretching out his hand and scratching Wang Shi's head, Tang Ning smiled: "The story of Tian Ji's horse racing, wife, you should know, right?" ”

"Yes." Wang Shi nodded, then tilted his head and thought for a while: "Knowing is knowing, but does this matter have anything to do with us?" ”

"Absolutely." Tang Ning said seriously: "Tian Ji horse racing mainly tells a story about attacking the shortcomings of the other with his own strengths, and the Khitan people gave me five hundred taels of gold to kill me, and I can naturally give one thousand taels of gold to kill him."

I can give what he can give to the assassins, and I can give more than him, even if he pays a thousand taels, I can get a price of two thousand taels.

And to be honest, the huge amount of two thousand taels of gold is not something he can afford. I'm not saying that the Khitans don't have these two thousand taels of gold, but it's impossible for them to bring so much money to the envoy.

So even if they raise the price again, they just give a promise. Anyone who has some brains can understand it at once. And when I say how much I give, it's all real money that can be taken out.

So think about it, is his behavior based on his own shortcomings and attacking my strengths? ”

Wang Shi blinked and said, "Husband, you are so smart, you have thought of so much." ”

As soon as Tang Ning heard this, he felt that something was wrong. stared at Wang Shi suspiciously for a while, and Wang Shi turned his head away with a weak heart.

Tang Ning raised his eyebrows, turned over and pressed against Wang Shi and said, "You already understood, didn't you?" ”

"I'm not, I'm not." Wang Shi was still stiff-mouthed, and said with a grin: "Husband, you are so smart, and the concubine is so stupid, how can you guess your thoughts, husband!" You overestimate your concubine! ”

Tang Ning rolled his eyes and said, "If you are stupid, how many smart people are there in this world?" I don't believe you didn't understand it at the beginning, you pretended not to understand just to please me, right? ”

Wang Shi put his arms around Tang Ning's neck, blinked and said, "If you think so, then it's good to be like this." ”

"And what are you trying to please me?"

"You haven't been home for more than half a year, and the concubine always thinks that our family is not prosperous enough, you see ......"

Tang Ning suddenly tightened his body, raised his body and wanted to escape from here, but was tightly hugged by Wang Shi's arm.

"Wife, my husband has been lacking exercise recently, and his health is not very good. Why don't you let me raise it for two days first, and then talk about it in two days......"

Wang Shi's eyes immediately became fascinated, and he sneered: "Could it be that you have another woman outside?" I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and when you come back, you start to shirk? ”

Tang Ning said with a bitter face: "How can I have! I can't even cope with the five of you, and I'm looking for other women, I don't have the heart or the strength! ”

"Then you don't talk nonsense, hurry up!" Wang Shi ordered.

"Don't do it......" Tang Ning was still refusing, but Wang Shi definitely wanted to inspect the goods. So as soon as he turned over and pressed Tang Ning under him, there was a burst of undressing, Tang Ning closed his eyes in humiliation, and grabbed the sheets with both hands.

After a night's rest, when Tang Ning got up the next morning, Wang Shi was still sleeping. Looking at her satisfied sleeping face, you know that she must have had a good time last night.

Tang Ning stood up with a stool, a thirty-year-old man should have been a living tiger, but unfortunately in the years before Tang Ning was thirty, he was hollowed out several times, and he may have fallen ill.

His legs were a little weak, so Tang Ning sat on the stool and rested for a while. After drinking two sips of water and feeling better, I put on my clothes and went out.

The April day is sunny and the spring breeze is moving. It's just that there was a smell of blood in the air, and Tang Ning frowned.

Could it be that he bought live pigs and chickens and went home and killed them? Tang Ning followed the smell all the way, but found that it came from the gate of the Danyang Hou Mansion.

The porter was arguing fiercely with someone, and Tang Ning walked over and said, "What's wrong?" What's the situation? ”

The porter pointed to the man standing at the door and said, "Master Hou, he said that he had come to receive the reward, but the villain saw that he was covered in blood and felt that he was not a good person, so he didn't let him in." But he said that Master Hou, you don't believe in your words, you are a real villain......"

Tang Ning rolled his eyes and scolded: "Sooner or later, I will change you bastard, and send you to the stable to feed the horses without yielding to your talent at all!" ”

After speaking, he said to the man covered in blood: "This good man, please come in, my porter is stupid, let you laugh." ”

"Are you the Marquis of Danyang?" The man asked angrily.

Lin Wei was still standing behind Tang Ning, and as soon as he heard this person ask this, he immediately stood in front of Tang Ning.

Seeing that Lin Wei was so nervous, the man laughed and said, "This must be the Twin Swordsman Lin Weilin, right?" I have admired the great name for a long time, and I have admired the great name for a long time.

You don't have to be nervous, I admire Danyang Hou very much, and I won't attack Danyang Hou.

As he spoke, he dragged a basket from the doorway. The strong smell of blood came from inside the back basket.

He put the back basket in front of him, opened it at Tang Ning, and grinned: "Master Hou, there are five Khitan heads in here."

Follow your bounty ......"

"Five? That's fifty taels of gold. But how can you be sure that they are Khitans? ”

Before Tang Ning could speak, Guan Ze walked out from the side. Very sassy shaking a folding fan, it looked like Downing at the age of twenty.

"This ......" The good man was a little embarrassed, last night he killed the three Khitan merchants and more than 20 guards they hired.

After killing people, they only cared about taking their heads, but forgot to find something that could prove their identity.

He scratched his head, not knowing what to do. In this situation, Danyang Hou just doesn't give himself money, and he has nothing to say.

Guan Ze glanced at Tang Ning when he saw this, and Tang Ning nodded at him quietly. Guan Ze ran to the backyard with a smoke, and then ran back out of breath.

He walked up to the good man, handed over a heavy money bag and said, "Although the identities of these five heads cannot be identified, my marquis believes that you will not deceive us if you are also from the Song Dynasty."

Therefore, the fifty taels of gold belong to you, take care of it, but don't lose it. ”

The good man took the money bag in a daze, and it took a while to react, and he knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Thank you, Master Hou!" Thank you, Lord Hou! As he spoke, he banged his head three times, and then left without looking back.

After that, three people came in the morning and delivered three Khitan heads.

At this time, Tang Yu and Tang Liang all got up, and the smell of blood in the courtyard was not a good smell for them.

After thinking about it, Tang Ning simply sent someone to build a grass hut opposite the Hou Mansion, and set up a sign at the door, with the words 'Please go here to receive the reward'.

This really has an effect, but there are still many heroes who don't know the words, which is indispensable for the porter to point to the grass shed opposite.

At the end of the day, the Danyang Marquis Mansion received a total of twenty-three Khitan heads.

Two hundred and thirty taels of gold were gone in one day, Liu Yi'er was distressed, but for the sake of Tang Ning's personal safety, she couldn't say anything, not to mention that this was the biggest crisis that the Tang family had encountered in more than ten years, so she could only sit alone in the backyard with her knees in her hands.

Qi Xianyu went to persuade once, saying that the daughter would come back after being scattered, but Liu Yier's miser's character could be said to be so easy.

Seeing this, Tang Ning had no choice but to go out in person, but the effect was not very good. In the end, Tang Ning acted simply, picked up Liu Yier and threw it on the bed, and after some hard work, Liu Yier's mood improved.

Xu Ning's mother and son have lived in a nearby empty house under Tang Ning's arrangement today, and Xu Ning was also sent to a private school in the village by Tang Ning.

It's just that he doesn't seem to have a good relationship with Tang Wen, and according to Tang Yu, the two of them almost fought when they were in private school......
