Chapter 9 The Bounty in the City
During the process of entering the city, Zhang Muzhi didn't care at all about the attention of the eyes of the city. He still did his own thing, sat on the back of the cow, his barefoot drooping at will, swinging as the green cow moves.
While chatting with Ning Caichen, he looked at the Jiangzhou city.
I soon saw that under the walls inside the city, a large group of people gathered in front of a list of articles to watch.
Zhang Muzhi gently patted the green cow, and with his green cow, he understood and walked towards the Bangwen where the crowd gathered.
Ning Caichen naturally followed quickly and came to the front of the list of the city wall.
The people who were originally surrounded by Bangwen, when they saw Zhang Muzhi riding a green cow coming over, they all took the initiative to make way.
In everyone's eyes, although Zhang Muzhi looks like an ordinary shepherd boy on the surface, his handsome appearance and natural and casual demeanor make people feel that this shepherd boy is not simple.
Therefore, most people will take the initiative to give in and have a respect for the little shepherd boy in their eyes.
When he arrived in front of the list, Zhang Muzhi sat on the back of the cow and looked up, while Ning Caichen next to him had already read it out first.
The list text is a list text with a reward. It roughly means that the students who came to Jiangzhou City to participate in the autumn examination these days encountered an accident while traveling outside the city. There were already seven or eight students dead.
The prefect sent an yamen servant in the yamen to investigate, but except for the bodies of seven or eight students, nothing was found.
Therefore, the prefect ordered people to post the list. Whether it was able to provide direct clues or find the murderer, the prefect's office would reward him with a maximum reward of fifty taels of silver.
Many people onlookers were obviously jealous of the fifty taels of silver, but most of them were powerless about this headless case.
The clues that can be provided may have been investigated by the prefect in the days after the case occurred.
So although the silver reward is tempting, most people only watch the fun at most.
Zhang Muzhi was also a little jealous of the silver reward of fifty taels.
I suffered a lot on the way to leave Niujiazhuang, but the reason was that I had no money.
If he could get these fifty taels, at least he could solve the subsequent daily expenses. Zhang Muzhi could also walk the official road and enter the city to live in those comfortable inns and restaurants.
After Ning Caichen finished reading, he saw Zhang Muzhi sitting on the back of a cow, staring at Bangwen, and was stunned and a little dazed.
After hesitating for a moment, Ning Caichen leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "Muzhi, do you want to reveal this reward list?"
Zhang Muzhi came back to his senses and smiled at Ning Caichen: "We are new to us, so we can't provide any clues. Let's go, let's find a place to live first."
Ning Caichen also felt that he was right, so he guided Qingniu to turn around and leave the base of the city wall.
Shortly after Zhang Muzhi and his friends left, the people who had originally discussed the content of the list began to discuss the shepherd boy riding a cow.
"The young man riding a bull is really handsome."
"Yes, I really feel like a fairy-like traitor. I'm afraid it's not the descendant of any immortal in the mountain?"
"Well, it's very similar. Is it a world-wide practice?"
"And that green bull, do you think that the green bull is very magical, as if he can understand our words, his eyes are always looking at us."
"I heard from relatives in the yamen that the case on the list of the article is likely to be the cause of the demon. Did a certain immortal master know about this and sent such a disciple to subdue the demon?"
"Really? This case was done by the demon?"
"There is indeed such a rumor. It is said that those dead students look very strange, so it may be caused by the demon."
"If it is really a demon, I really have to look forward to the appearance of gods and immortals."
"Hey, what you said is, it seems like riding a cow into the city must be a god. I think it's just an ordinary little shepherd boy."
When different sounds sounded, they naturally attracted the attention of many people. The person who spoke was a long brocade gown, a folding fan in his hand, and a young man who was specially carrying a box and cage of book children behind him.
Just looking at his outfit and accompanying his study boy, it is not difficult to see that he must be either rich or noble.
"What demons do is just some strange powers and nonsense. Those students are not enterprising and go out to play near the autumn examination. They should learn some lessons."
After saying that, the rich young man smiled disdainfully and led the book boy to turn and leave.
Looking at the young man leaving, many people felt that what he said just now was a bit too much.
"I looked like a scholar who was well-read in poetry and books, but I didn't expect that it would be so cold and silly as soon as I opened my mouth."
"Shh, don't talk nonsense, we can't afford to offend that young man."
"Who is that person?"
"That's the little marquis of our Jiangzhou."
"Little Marquis?"
"Ah, is it the son of the Jianghua Hou family?"
"Yes, it's the second son of the Marquis of Jianghua."
"So that's it, then we really can't afford to offend."
"Okay, it's gone, the autumn examination is coming, and there will be many noble sons coming from Jiangzhou City during this period."
The crowd in front of the list gradually dissipated.
By chatting with Ning Caichen on the way, Zhang Muyi also had a new understanding and understanding of the world today.
It can be confirmed that this world is not a period of history that Zhang Muzhi knew.
This world seems to be very big, and there are many countries of all sizes.
The China Kingdom where Zhang Muzhi is located is a big country in the southeast corner, and the system implemented is somewhat similar to that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The imperial examination is the only opportunity for most people to enter the court.
Even those high-ranking nobles, except for their eldest son, have to pass the imperial examination level one by one if they want to enter the court.
The autumn examinations in various prefectures are naturally a very important opportunity, so this Jiangzhou City will attract so many students from Jiangzhou to gather.
As the capital of Jiangzhou City, there are all kinds of shops and merchants in the city.
As the autumn examination is approaching, students from all over the country gather, which naturally makes the business of merchants in the city rise, especially some fireworks and willow alleys, which has become a place for romantic students to linger.
When Zhang Muzhi and Ning Caichen passed by, they looked at the beakers and swallows, and Zhang Muzhi couldn't help but feel a little yearning in his heart.
Before traveling through time, such places were illegal places. Although Zhang Muzhi often heard people say that, he had never been there because he was honest and decent.
Nowadays, Fireworks and Willow Alley is an open and upright existence, so Zhang Muzhi naturally wants to try it out in his heart.
Just as Zhang Muzhi was hesitating, a strange aura suddenly came from the depths of the fireworks willow alley.
The wisp of breath floated out and was instantly caught by Zhang Muzhi and Qingniu at the same time. Each person and the ox had a communication in their minds, but when they wanted to search again, the demonic aura disappeared.
Just at this moment, a crisp voice sounded behind him: "Hmph, how can you, the cattle-herder, linger in such a place? My lady is just asking me to come and find you."
Hearing the crisp sound, Zhang Muzhi turned his head and looked at it, but saw a graceful woman wearing lotus groups standing behind her.
Zhang Muzhi recognized the woman as the magpies taken away by the Weaver Girl in Niujiazhuang.
The magpie is here, which means that the Weaver Girl is here too.
Why is the Weaver Girl here too?
To pursue my own?
Zhang Muzhi thought in a daze, and when the magpie saw this, he woke him up and said, "Hey, my lady is invited, are you going?"
After coming to his senses, Zhang Muzhi grinned and said, "Hahaha, my sister invites me to go, Brother Ning, are you going to sit together? Or are you going to visit other people?"
Ning Caichen was also a little surprised when he saw a graceful little maid coming to invite Zhang Muzhi.
Now that I heard Zhang Muzhi’s inquiry, I thought about it and said, “I won’t bother you anymore. I just happened to visit the teacher.”
Zhang Muzhi naturally said goodbye to Ning Caichen and rode a cow and left with the magpies.
