Chapter 110 Whistleblowing
Liu Tianyu, who came from later generations, knew very well what these sects were doing. It was nothing more than cheating people and inspiring people. The former was easy to say, but at most some money wasted, while the latter might even lose his life.
Seeing that the people were almost there, Liu Tianyu stood up, glanced around, and said with a smile: "I'll call you all today, there are two things!"
As soon as he stood up, the others did not dare to sit in their seats anymore. They stood up regardless of whether they wanted to or not, and stood at the dining table together.
"Everyone is considered to be smart and intelligent. It should be heard that people have been to my place to set fire twice in the past few days. Is it because I, the owner of Guangji, lacks fire in my fate, so why do people always come to set fire?" Liu Tianyu said with ease.
But no one dared to laugh around the dining table, and even didn't dare to show his smile.
Huang An and Liang You were a little better, but the incense heads that smelled the incense sect were all scared.
Several Xiangtou were cleaned up for setting fires last time. The mastermind Fang Zhuang has not dared to come back since he escaped from the county town. This time, there are still people who set fires without knowing the death.
Xiao Wu kept paying attention to the people on the table, their expressions changed, and trying to find out the abnormal ones.
But most of the fragrant smelling scented scents were shocked, their eyes flashed, and they exchanged glances with each other. In this case, it was difficult to see anything abnormal.
"I'll say something to you. Anyone here knows it. It's better to tell me earlier. I'll count him as a meritorious person and don't care about anything. If I find out, those who are implicated and concealed and unreported are like stolen murderers. I think you can guess what the outcome is." Liu Tianyu threatened.
After saying this, Liu Tianyu waved behind him.
Yang Chun behind him walked up with a wooden tray covered by red cloth and placed it on the table in front of Liu Tianyu.
Liu Tianyu reached out to remove the red cloth on it, revealing fifty ingots and ten taels of silver ingots, and stacked them neatly in the tray.
The lights in the house were shining with silver lights, and the eyes of the people around him were concentrated. In a trance, I felt that the whole house was much brighter.
Seeing that everyone was attracted by the money, Liu Tianyu said jokingly: "The person who provides clues is rewarded with 100 taels, and the person who assists in catching the arsonist is rewarded with 500 taels."
After saying this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed, and many people's breathing became rapid.
Deterrence is one thing, and placing white silver there is another thing, and many people have greedy eyes.
Guangling County is not rich, and there are even fewer rich families.
In the past, the Tartars often entered the pass, and the counties near Datong were looted the most. They were a little better in recent years. The Tartars did not enter the pass and looted it much, but the weather became bad again.
The landlord who has thousands of acres of land in his home outside the city may not have five hundred taels of cash in his hand.
Liu Tianyu glanced around, covered the silver again with red cloth, and said in his mouth: "The person who comes to report the news will keep a secret for him, so there is no need to worry about any future troubles."
The quiet inside the room was broken, and someone began to whisper.
"I'll bother you all. I'll add one more thing. I will never let you go if you are enemies of Guangji. Liang Er set up a trap to kill me on South Street. Afterwards, he thought it was peaceful? He thought it was beautiful. The account was settled soon. There was also that Fangzhuang. Since he dared to set fire, he would have to bear the consequences." Liu Tianyu's voice became stern, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
After saying that, his tone slowed down a little and continued, "Eat and drink well, and today the Hanfu wine is open to drink, don't be polite."
With his words, only those around the dining table dared to move their chopsticks.
"It's really bitter. It seems that I can't see any oil or water in normal times." Looking at the fragrant smelling heads who ate the voracious look, Yang Chun couldn't help but mutter.
After eating and drinking, everyone was not polite. Before leaving, they looked at the silver on Liu Tianyu's desk.
After all these people left, Liu Tianyu asked Dou Keyuan to arrange for the guy to remove the bowls on the table and drink the remaining wine jar, and serve fragrant tea.
"Owner, do you think someone will come?" Xiao Wu next to him couldn't help asking.
"Money is touching. Everyone has seen the incense heads before. How could they not come to take so much money on the table?" Liu Tianyu said confidently.
After a cup of tea, Xiao Wu couldn't help but walk outside the door to take a look. Dou Keyuan happened to come from outside.
Dou Keyuan followed Manager Tang, and a fragrant head of the incense sect was followed.
Seeing them coming, Xiao Wu retreated and whispered: "Shopkeeper Tang is here."
After such delays, Dou Keyuan had already brought his people into the house.
"Boss, Manager Tang wants to see you, so I will bring him here." Dou Keyuan explained, and then said, "It's nothing, I'll go ahead and do it?"
Liu Tianyu nodded at Dou Keyuan and said, "You go and do your business!"
As soon as Dou Keyuan left, shopkeeper Tang hurriedly bowed and said, "Master Liu, Master Liu, I'm here to report the news."
Xiao Wu walked to the outer door and took the inner "qingren" officer to guard the door, monitoring the people outside who wanted to get close to the house.
Yang Chun, who was left in the room, stood straight behind Liu Tianyu, but he held the hilt in his hand and held it tightly without letting it go.
Liu Tianyu, the man in front of him, had some impression of him. He reported the news about Fang Zhuang at the time.
Liu Tianyu asked straight to the point: "What news do you have?"
Manager Tang subconsciously stepped forward a few steps, but was stopped by Yang Chun with a knife and blocked it outside.
Seeing the blade with a cold light, Manager Tang trembled, took a step back, and whispered: "I know who sets the fire, and who is the master behind the scenes. Can you give the silver that Master Liu promised?"
Liu Tianyu smiled and said, "Have you ever heard me refuse to admit it? As long as you catch someone, you can go to Guangji to get money at any time. If you are afraid of being caught, you can also send a letter and I will ask someone to bring you the money."
After hesitating for a moment, the shopkeeper Tang gritted his teeth and said, "The second-last Beijie Hutong is also a head of incense burning incense. However, this person is not sincere and specializes in making evil ways. A few days ago, a few men with eyes came to his house, and he was carrying a bag. The young man went over to see that day. The bag contained a bow and arrow. The family also bought lamp oil that had not been used for several months. The young man felt that it should have something to do with the arson that Mr. Liu said."
After listening, Liu Tianyu was excited.
There are also a few strange men who have lamp oil bows and arrows, and all the characteristics can be matched together.
"Are those people still here?" Liu Tianyu asked.
Manager Tang nodded quickly and said, "Hey, I saw those people in the morning."
The characteristics are so accurate and the address is so detailed that no one can believe it.
Liu Tianyu thought for a while, reached out and took out four ingots of silver from the wooden plate on the table and threw it directly to Manager Tang.
Then, he said lightly: "Pay your deposit for the forty taels of silver, and I will give you the rest after I catch the person."
"Thank you Mr. Liu, thank you Mr. Liu." Manager Tang looked humble and the silver in his hand was put into his cuff.
