Chapter 110 Reward of one hundred taels of silver
Qin Yao didn't know that there was such a thing at all. She only knew the first half of the sentence, and no one had told her the second half.
Ordinary people only remember the first half of the sentence: killing a thief is not a crime. I didn't expect there would be a reward later.
Shopkeeper Fan sighed when he saw Qin Yao's "wrong" expression.
"Well, I don't blame you for not knowing. The county never publicizes it. Ordinary people can't read a single Chinese character. They don't recognize the laws and regulations posted at the city gate. Some deviations are normal."
Moreover, whether you can receive the reward depends on how well the county magistrate understands this law. Qin Yao may not be able to get what he deserves.
Besides, it's been so long now, it's too late to tell.
It was only when he saw Qin Yao that Shopkeeper Fan wanted to tell her.
The two officers and soldiers were convinced that she was serious.
“Besides, as a woman, you can't be an official.” He sighed in amusement.
The streets are full of people and very lively.
The two officers and soldiers obviously did not hear what she said clearly, or they thought they heard wrongly.
The officers and soldiers asked her what her name was and where she was from. Qin Yao answered them one by one. She looked sober and did not look like a madman at all, so he led her in.
Shopkeeper Fan smiled awkwardly, asked her to go to the guest room to rest, and went back to the counter to get busy.
Normally speaking, Shopkeeper Fan said all of these.
“Is it okay?” Shopkeeper Fan asked excitedly.
One of them immediately rushed into the government office and shouted: "Master! Someone has revealed the list!"
Qin Yao did not expect that the first time she entered the Yamen would be in this way.
“I know, the reward of one hundred taels is not for killing the head of the leader of the horse bandits, am I understanding it correctly?” Qin Yao also wanted to confirm to avoid misunderstanding.
Qin Yao asked again: "How to accept the reward?"
Have a good night's sleep.
"I asked you a question, why didn't you answer? Is this reward a fake?" Qin Yao waited for a long time and got impatient when she didn't get a reply.
She could only say lightly: "We are still working hard."
“You're leaving tomorrow?” Shopkeeper Fan asked a little reluctantly.
“Hiss~” Qin Yao took a deep breath. The wind in this summer morning was filled with heat. Taking a breath, adrenaline surged.
Don't delay her from making money!
A lengthy article was written on the notice to accuse the horse bandits of their illegal activities and to express the anger of the people and the government.
Bandits have been rampant and arrogant recently, and their various behaviors have become so cruel that even livestock can't stand it. Therefore, a reward notice is now issued to call on the brave men of the county to take active action and kill the bandit leaders to help the government to eradicate the horse bandits. No matter what their origins or status, they are male or female. Regardless of whether the girl is young or old, she will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!
Qin Yao smiled lightly at him and said, "When you have time in the future, come to my house as a guest."
These two, one is equivalent to the secretary of the county magistrate, and the other is equivalent to the director of the Public Security Bureau in charge of the garrison force of Kaiyang County.
It is a pity that there are not many people who are literate. Those who read the notices are all scholars. They have their own loftiness. If no one asks for advice, they will not bother to read it out.
The other one, who was still a little disbelieving, pointed to the notice and asked Qin Yao, "You are a woman, do you know what is written on this reward notice?"
Thinking about it, they also knew about this law at that time, and they were relieved when they found out that she was a woman.
As he approached, the first thing that caught his eye was a reward notice with a portrait on it, and a large word "reward" circled in red pen. Seeing the circled word "reward" made Qin Yao's heart beat two beats faster.
Even if she is just a scholar, the next time she kills a bandit leader, the government will tell her that she can get a silver reward.
Qin Yao understood, went back, "stabbed", and tore off the entire notice posted on it under the shocked eyes of the two officers and soldiers, then returned to the government office and asked them:
Qin Yao said yes, and he immediately laughed, "I'm a little curious about what your family is like. Last year, I hunted a black blind man, and my family's farmland should have increased by several acres, right? Are you the richest in your village? ?”
Qin Yao quickly calmed down her excitement and confirmed three times. The notice said it was one hundred taels of silver. She immediately walked to the door of the Yamen and asked the two officers and soldiers guarding the door:
“How to receive this reward?”
The two officers and soldiers gave her a surprised look. One of them pointed at the notice board with an impatient expression, "Just take it off!"
“I uncovered it, what next? Can we just lift the head of the person in the painting back? Do we need to register it first? How will I get the reward then?”
Shopkeeper Fan sighed softly, "I want to learn two more kung fu moves from you, so I'm leaving now."
Only here, there is a large open space with few people. Only the occasional person stops in front of the notice board in front of the gate.
Although they were both in the same profession, she didn't know the process very well. All she could think about was the one hundred taels, and she only felt that the features of the fierce gangster looked more beautiful when she painted it.
Qin Yao left the room early in the morning, said goodbye to shopkeeper Fan, and prepared to go home.
An extra second of hesitation is a sign of disrespect for the one hundred taels!
Qin Yao nodded, "There is still farm work to do at home." The water tanker still has some unfinished orders.
Qin Yao's brain automatically eliminated unnecessary words and came up with a summary—
Qin Yao originally wanted to see what the yamen looked like before leaving, but now she saw the two scholars in front of the notice board leaving after reading. No one was there. Out of curiosity, she walked over to see what was posted on the government notice board. What content.
The common people wanted to kneel when they saw an official. Qin Yao went to the countryside and followed the customs. Xuxu knelt down on one knee and briefly explained the matter of his exposure, and then stood up.
Before leaving, I might have been a little dissatisfied, but by some strange coincidence, I went against the flow of people and walked to the gate of the Kaiyang County Government Office.
As for the silver reward, let alone her, the village chief followed him to the county town and didn't see a single penny.
Qin Yao asked for an ordinary single room, plus her own food, which cost one hundred and twenty cash.
This is also the first time she has revealed a bounty in ancient times. This is not the end of the world. There is a computer to automatically register. After completing the task, just hand it over to the mission hall and the money will be automatically credited.
She recalled the few officials who came to the village ancestral hall to inquire at the beginning of the year. They looked at her with surprise, but not much, and even a sense of relief.
After all, the reward notice has been posted for half a year and no one has taken it off. Every time the handwriting changes, the master has to rewrite it and paste it up again and again.
Because there is no need to make arrangements for her.
This conversation with Shopkeeper Fan made Qin Yao understand a little more about the world, and she also had a stronger hope that Liu Ji could obtain fame.
If she had known earlier, would she have been able to keep those horse bandits alive until now?
She did not see the county magistrate, only the master and the county magistrate.
At the same time, Qin Yao was still regretting why she didn't come to the county government office earlier to take a look.
Qin Yao smiled and continued to drink the last mouthful of mutton soup, remaining silent for a long time.
It's a pity that Qin Yao's family has an abnormal problem.
No one thought that she, a woman, was teasing the government office by unveiling the list. After all, a woman who dared to do this was not simple.
When he heard Qin Yao say that she had killed a small leader of the horse bandits at the beginning of the year, the eyes of the county magistrate burst out with hope.
