Vol 13 Chapter 5: Teahouse news

Of course, the old peasant is not a real old peasant, but a famous thief! I have been playing with knives for forty-eight years, and a dagger is absolutely perfect.
However, at this time, the target of the assassination did not have any scars on his waist!
"Is this guy a human or a ghost..."
There was a sudden chill in the old farmer's heart.
At this time, the assassination target actually changed his direction again. He jumped to the side, directly borrowed force on the wall, and unexpectedly turned into the yard next to him. . .
Such a move was immediately beyond the expectations of the old farmer and others. Because the plan they made was to kill this target in this alley!
There are three people on this side of the alley. They are the old farmer Xu Jiang, the scholar Wu Sheng, and He Wu, who pretends to be selling vegetables next to him. On the other side of the alley, the one who is waiting for work and ready to kill is the second master in the cottage. Zhao Chuan and his younger brother Zhao Shan.
These five people are also well-known gangsters on the ground in Shandong, killing people and setting fires, and doing all kinds of evil!
Zhao Chuan, Zhao Shan and scholar Wu Sheng are in the same group.
Xu Jiang and He Wu belonged to another group.
They had made an appointment to talk things over here, but all of a sudden they got a big deal! The remuneration for this big deal was very generous, enough for the five of them to wash their hands. Although they didn’t know the buyer, the other party paid ten small yellow croakers in advance! (bullion)
And the person to be killed is not some great extravagant figure, just a student who should have returned from studying abroad.
The five people have never seen such a good deal in their lives. Originally, these two groups of people are not very pleasing to the eye at ordinary times. At a critical time, they may have to make a difference, but with such a large amount of money, it is to kill the father The hatred of robbing one's wife should also be put aside first.
What's more, the kid who is going to kill is single and a student! In their eyes, the money seemed to be picked up.
Unexpectedly, the five of them made a joint shot and set up a net of heaven and earth. They thought they would be caught. Seeing that Butcher Xu was able to stab him with a dagger, he had already succeeded, but he didn't expect the idea to be so strong that he killed the scholar Wu Sheng with a counterattack when escaping. .
At this time, the four people were shocked and angry when they saw that the prey was about to flee, and they went after them directly. Xu Jiang and He Wu climbed over the wall, while the two brothers Zhao Chuan and Zhao Shan blocked from the side to outflank, but they didn't know that Fang Linyan wanted them to divide their forces like this!
When Xu Jiang and He Wu chased over the wall, Fang Linyan not only did not escape, but was directly waiting below.
When he killed the scholar Wu Sheng, he found out that this group of people belonged to the typical high-blood type, and they were quick to kill people, and of course they were also quick to be slaughtered!
After Xu Jiang and He Wu jumped off the courtyard wall, they faced Fang Linyan's incomparably swift and violent raid, which was the full force attack of the masters of LV16 basic melee combat.
The basic melee combat of the two Jiang Yang robbers was actually only around LV10. Fang Linyan had no intention of calculating, so when Xu Jiang jumped off the wall, he attacked directly.
He had no intention of calculating, and at the same time used his mental power tentacles. Of course, he killed him easily, and then singled out He Wu, who was already flustered, and it was not difficult to kill him.
By the time Zhao Chuan and Zhao Shan successfully came around, Fang Linyan was already standing there, shaking off the blood on his hands.
Needless to say about the next battle, Fang Linyan confronted the two brothers of the Zhao family. He first found an opportunity to break Zhao Chuan's left leg, and then seized the weakness of their brotherly love, and began to fight, and finally succeeded in defeating Zhao Chuan. The two were captured alive.
However, Fang Linyan's thoughts were in vain. His intention to capture the two alive was to force him to question the mastermind behind the scenes, but in the end, the two brothers still asked three questions and didn't know, and it was obvious that they really didn't know.
In the end, Fang Linyan figured it out. Even if he really turned into Sherlock Holmes and tracked down the mastermind behind the hiring of these people, that guy must have asked three questions, and he must give the answer. ..
Monitoring system to do things, why do you need a reason? It's not easy to arrange a few people to be chasers.
These five people were rushing to kill themselves. Of course, Fang Linyan would not let go at this time. He killed all of them, and then a prompt appeared in front of his eyes:
"The colonizer CD8492116, congratulations on escaping the pursuit of the first hunter."
Fang Linyan shrugged, then let out a breath, and reached out and stroked his lower back! There was a wound there.
This wound is not big, but it is very deep! The blood kept flowing outwards, reaching deep into the internal organs. It was Xu Jiang who had done it before, and Fang Linyan even used two hemostatic bandages to stop the blood flow.
If he continued to fight with this wound in the past, his combat power would drop by at least one-fifth.
But now Fang Linyan's shotgun is replaced by a cannon, it's not what it used to be! With the power of an artifact, after he started the war, this wound was destroyed.
Fang Linyan forcibly accelerated time, moved it to the next two hours, and now immediately moved it back.
In this way, the power consumption of one's own time is minimal.
These five people only dropped one key, which made Fang Linyan, who came back from the golden branch world, extremely uncomfortable! After all, the last key he opened was a direct explosion of an artifact.
The good news is that the alley where Fang Linyan murdered was quite remote, but it was also the location carefully chosen by the group of killers, so it was only seen by two or three beggars, and these guys ran away as if flying immediately. Even if the incident happened, it is estimated that it will be a long time later.
At this time, Fang Linyan's eyes gradually cooled down while wrapping his wounds. If he entered this world without the Mobius mark, his attributes would have been compressed and his health would have been at least 200 points.
And these guys who play melee combat have a frighteningly high attack power. If nothing else, Fang Linyan is half useless if he hits Xu Jiang with a dagger! Once the five people join forces to attack successfully, there is really a high chance of killing themselves.
At this time, Fang Linyan remembered what happened before. If the Mobius mark didn't help him get the Ateli United Guard system, then these "chasers" should be sent in two batches?
In other words, this time it wasn't five people, but... twenty-five?
Thinking of this, Fang Linyan swallowed a mouthful of saliva!
Twenty-five enemies of this level are likely to have long-range weapons such as guns and darts, which is really troublesome.
Because fighting is not a simple addition or subtraction, for Fang Linyan, if the threat of five enemies coming together is 10, then the threat of ten enemies coming together is definitely not 20, but at least 30, twenty-five The threat of individuals coming together is at least 80!
There is good news and bad news to follow.
The bad news is that Fang Linyan unlocked the key dropped by the "scholar", and his European energy should have been used up when he opened the artifact with a 7.4% chance, so...this one The treasure chest opened by the silver radiant key is a big water ratio, and it is worth 10,000 general points.
The good news is that Fang Linyan doesn't have to go to Xianggong Tangzi to be a rabbit master, because a gold bar was opened from the key. Not only that, Fang Linyan also found some copper coins and broken silver from the body.
Although there is no corresponding "corpse search" ability, nothing can be brought out of this world, but at least Fang Linyan's current economic crisis has been solved.
So, ten minutes later, Fang Linyan, who had undergone a makeover, came to the door of the teahouse again, and this time he walked in without hesitation.
The place in the center of the teahouse near the stage is the most expensive, and it takes twenty yellow coins to sit. Fang Linyan didn’t want to be so high-profile, so he found a place against the wall to sit down and ordered a cup of eight yellow coins, Gao Moer. In the end, he was also picked on by the staff, saying that he was white money and had to make up for 12, so Fang Linyan could only give money honestly.
What is yellow money and white money?
It turns out that since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom turmoil, the center of the Qing Dynasty almost lost its control over the place.
The most awesome thing this prince did was to charge eight thousand Mongolian cavalry towards the machine gun positions of the British and French allied forces in 1860... The final result was that the enemy suffered single-digit casualties, and his own casualties were several thousand. people.
In this case, the imperial court asked someone to do business, but they couldn't get the money, they could only give it to the messenger. Or give you a plot of land, and you go there yourself to collect taxes and support soldiers.
The most typical example is Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army, and the imperial court assigned Anqing to them, saying that if they wanted money, this place would be given to you. So the Hunan Army set up cards to collect taxes here.
Under the circumstance that such places are beginning to be semi-autonomous, it is really common to privately cast copper coins. The coins cast by the central government have high copper content and good technology. They are willing to pay for the cost. It's called yellow money.
The level of privately minted money varies, plus it must be cutting corners, adding a lot of cheap iron into it, and the color is white, which is called white money.
After Fang Linyan was seated, he looked around and found that the teahouse was quite large, covering an area of ​​seven or eight rooms, let’s say at least one or two thousand square meters. 's slogan.
The ground is still mud, but it has been simply leveled, and has been trampled hard and shiny by the soles of countless people.
There are six or seven stoves on the tiger stove facing the door, all of which are sitting on the steaming pots. The owner of the tea shop is a very careful person, and there are ten large water lined up beside the stove. There are four words on the tank: Lu Yu's legacy.
Then the water in the tank must be very clear, and the water surface is based on local customs, throwing a lot of washed calamus, wormwood in,
Green and lovely, it means disinfection.
The younger brother quickly served Fang Linyan tea. Gao Mo'er was actually the teahouse's use of the residual tea waste ordered by the high-spending customers, and re-dried the good tea leaves that had been brewed for waste recycling.
The characteristic of this thing is that it is quite fragrant when it is first soaked, but after the second soaking, it quickly becomes bland and tasteless white water.
And this is also the most common tea for the people in the teahouse. Kuhaha entertains friends. From this, it can be seen that Fang Linyan has done a lot of homework before coming to this world, and integrates into this world as much as possible without causing suspicion. .
In order to attract business, there is a stage in the center of the teahouse, where performances are performed every morning from morning:
There are those who tell stories on it, and there are those who break the boulders on their chests in performing arts performances.
Of course, most of them are singing.
At this time, there was a woman on the stage who was singing Liu Erjie Sifu. Of course, it was adapted into a version that the working people liked:
The specific content is to describe a series of stories about the newly married young woman Xiao Liu living alone in an empty room, her husband on a business trip, and a series of stories about her missing her husband before going to bed, including but not limited to psychological activities, hand and local movements, etc.
Although the woman's lyrics were unclear and often out of tune, her watery eyes were very charming and coquettish enough, so the following cheers came one after another, and many coppers were thrown up.
Fang Linyan beckoned, and then handed a copper coin to the younger brother to send a newspaper. This bronze coin gives the right to borrow, so the newspaper cannot be taken away. There are not many people who can read and write, so there are special people in the teahouse who read newspapers and analyze and explain important domestic news.
Soon after the newspaper was obtained, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Fang Linyan found out that it was a "Declaration", but looking at the date again, it was ten days ago, but the circulation of newspapers in small places is not wide, which is normal. .
The declaration may not be very famous to modern people, but it was very famous at the time. The most famous one was to bribe the eunuchs in the palace. For half a year, he published records of Emperor Tongzhi's illness, and even who saw the disease and opened it. Medicines are posted.
It is equivalent to a live text broadcast of the emperor's entire life from serious illness to death to the people of the whole country.
Fang Linyan flipped through the above news and found that it mentioned a lot of information he had collected in his data. For example, at this time, the Japanese army had already stationed in North Korea, and for example, on June 22, Japan issued a "first divorce letter" against the Qing court. ".
However, at this moment, a piece of news jumped into Fang Linyan's eyes:
"How could this happen?"
It turned out that in the second edition of the declaration, almost half of the space was spent talking about one thing, that is, Li Gongzhang and Li Zhongtang have been sick at home recently and are unhappy.
The reason is that a treasure was lost in the house. It was a picture scroll presented by an eminent monk on the 80th birthday of Li Zhongtang's old mother: the picture of Mulian saving his mother.
If anyone can find this treasure, then Li Zhongtang has sent a message to let this person be prosperous and rich, and his wishes will come true.
Fang Linyan did not collect any information on this matter. He shook his head and put the matter aside. Then he found a few newspapers to read, such as Beijing News, Shiwu News, etc., and found that these newspapers were all the same. mentioned the theft of Li Gongzhang's home.
