The second in command was very depressed. He felt that the pretty boy opposite him was playing tricks on him. He neither caught him nor let him go. He just kept teasing him.
The considerate Han Zeyu seemed to have heard the other person's thoughts. He knocked the man down with a sweeping kick and then kicked him again cleanly.
The second in command finally got what he wanted and fainted.
Seeing the two bosses fall one after another, it was useless for these minions to persist, and they all began to think about escaping.
Han Zeyu knocked down two more people in succession, and left the remaining three to her husband to practice on.
Opportunity is fleeting, and Su Shien bravely fought against three enemies alone, leaving them unable to fight back.
Tiezhu was lying on the hillside, looking at it eagerly. It was so tempting. He also wanted to show off his skills. He must be no worse than the young master.
It's such a pity that there are not enough to share among so few people.
Han Zeyu took out a hemp rope and tied the seven people together. He sat on the carriage and let the seven gourd brothers follow.
What Han Zeyu held in his hand was not a hemp rope, not a bandit, not a human life, but a huge reward of silver.
The fourth brother on the list took one hundred taels for himself, and the rest of the minnows and crabs were sold to the government. They should be worth at least fifty taels, right?
It turned out that he underestimated the stinginess of the government, and six people gave him ten taels of silver.
Fortunately, the fourth brother on the list's worth of one hundred taels remains unchanged.
But even so, Han Zeyu still curled his lips in disgust.
The officer rubbed his nose and said that the New Year's Eve had passed and he had just distributed money to them, so the amount he gave them was a little less.
As usual, I asked how the bandit leader was injured. I heard that he was a new scholar and the second-highest scorer in a province.
Knowing that this man had a bright future, the officer did not ask any more questions.
After verifying the identities of these people, they were thrown into jail, and then they counted the number of people and headed towards the hideout ready to go.
When they set off again, Han Zeyu was still sitting in the same carriage with He Mengying, which clearly showed his distrust.
He Mengying smiled bitterly. If she had been more cautious at the beginning, she wouldn't have to suffer these unexpected disasters.
"My benefactor, are you going to Beijing to take the imperial examination? I wonder if you could give me a ride. Once I contact my relatives and friends, I will definitely compensate you."
Han Zeyu agreed. It would only take three days to reach the capital. It was just a ride, no big deal. The most important thing was that there was money to be made.
After reaching an agreement, Han Zeyu returned to the carriage in front with peace of mind and began to provide psychological counseling to her husband.
"My husband, you are amazing. I was so scared at that time. Fortunately, you fell from the sky and landed in front of me like a guardian angel, shielding me from the swords and knives..."
Su Shien said sincerely, "I tried my best, so there's no need to praise me so bluntly."
The poor student expressed concern: "If I praise you too subtly, I'm afraid you won't be able to hear my true feelings."
The top student forced a smile and said, "Actually, my understanding ability is pretty good. Never mind. As long as you are happy."
Su Shien's unblemished mouth was useless, because Han Zeyu was so idle during the next three days that he almost became moldy.
There isn't even a robber coming to his door, so why should he be happy?
While reading a book, Su Shien touched someone's wandering head and comforted him perfunctorily.
"Even bad guys have to celebrate the New Year. Besides, no one dares to act rashly under the emperor's feet. It's very likely that there are no bandits in this area at all."
"That's right, the bandits have a problem with their values, but they are not fools."
"Wait a little longer. I heard there's a temple fair and lantern festival in the capital. There's bound to be a lot of thieves then. This is your chance to show off your skills!"
Han Zeyu immediately became alert after hearing this. Her husband was right. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.
On the afternoon of the second day, they finally arrived at the city gate and found that they didn't have to queue up to enter the city.
It was the officers and soldiers in charge of the investigation who resolved their doubts.
"Are you going to the capital to take the imperial examination? The Chinese New Year is the day after tomorrow. You're really pushing yourself too hard."
Su Shien had a gentle attitude. It didn't matter what the officers and soldiers said, he just had to agree with them.
Two carriages, four people, and four travel passes. As for the identity information on the passes, the officers and soldiers did not check them one by one.
A sick woman, a thin servant boy, and a timid little boy.
Besides, since there was a scholar leading the team, they had to give him some face.
Even if there are problems, the responsibility cannot be traced back to them.
Where did Tiezhu go?
At this moment, he was carrying those weapons and two sacks of spoils, waiting devoutly for his master to come and pick him up.
After successfully sneaking into the city, Su Shien and Zhao Xun parked the carriage on the side of the road and let the two precious horses go into the stable to rest.
Yu Ge'er said that there was nothing in the newly bought house, so he would buy some fodder to take over later.
At this time, Han Zeyu had already successfully joined forces with Tiezhu outside the city.
After completing the handover, Tiezhu took the pass and entered the city openly.
Han Zeyu took his start-up capital, found a place with weak city defenses and sparse population, and used the wall-walking technique again.
Several people met outside the stables and bought some food and bedding as they walked.
Han Zeyu asked He Mengying if she wanted to go with him, but was rejected.
He Mengying knew that the other party was just being polite, so she tactfully said goodbye.
Faced with the sudden request to borrow money, Han Zeyu remained calm.
It’s just ten taels of silver, just think of it as buying a connection.
He Mengying asked with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will default on my debt?"
Han Zeyu flexed his wrist and said bluntly, "Then I'll see you once and beat you up once."
He Mengying didn't believe it: "Oh? You don't look like the kind of person who would fight with a woman."
Han Zeyu brushed away the strands of hair on his forehead and gave a concise answer: "I'm just an uncultured person from the inner house, so don't mess with me."
He Mengying left with the money. The address Han Zeyu left for her was Yu's bookstore, which was safer.
After parting ways, Han Zeyu took a few people home. He cleared all the dust in every corner and crevices around the house.
After spreading the newly bought bedding, Han Zeyu lay down on it and refused to move.
Tiezhu and Zhao Xun were busy in the kitchen, lighting the fire first so that they could boil water for washing.
Take a short break today, and tomorrow will be the real big purchase.
There was no conversation all night, and everyone slept until noon before getting up to wash up.
Han Zeyu waved his hand and told them to go out for dinner instead of cooking at home. He would treat them. After all, only when they were full would they have the energy to work as porters!
