Revenge of Rebirth: Intrigue

Chapter 699 Mobilizing the People
Tang Yi didn't care much about his attitude, for him, finding Mu Huaxian was the most important thing.

He asked directly: "I don't know if my lord has heard about the princess being kidnapped by thieves?"

The county magistrate glanced at him sideways, and said, "Although this place is a little remote, I'm well-informed, of course I've heard of it. Why, do you want to tell me that you know where the princess is?"

Tang Yi said seriously: "Since you know, I don't need to explain to you anymore. I came to you today because I want you to help find clues."

The county magistrate laughed disdainfully, and looked at Tang Yi like a fool: "You...you are not out of your mind, are you? The princess disappeared in the capital, and you asked me to look for it here? Besides, what is the identity of this official? Why should I listen to you? Besides, I heard that Liang Wang looked for the princess everywhere like crazy, but he couldn’t find anyone, so how do you ask me to find him?”

Tang Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, took off the package, took out a token from it, and handed it to the county magistrate: "I forgot to say, I am King Liang."

The county magistrate stared at the token for a while, his eyes widened like copper bells, his legs softened, he quickly stood up with his hands on his body, bowed to Tang Yi, and said, "My lord! The little one has blind eyes!" Taishan, please atone for your sin! Please atone for your sin!"

Tang Yi was too lazy to tell him those useless things, and asked directly: "You should have been an official here for a long time, right? Do you know if there are any big mountains near the border?"

The county magistrate was taken aback, seeing that Tang Yi didn't bother with him about the past, he was relieved, he stood up with a smile on his face, nodded to Tang Yi and said: "I know, it's less than a hundred miles away from here. It’s a big mountain, and if you climb over that mountain, you’ll be where the border guards stand.”

Tang Yi bowed his head and took out a piece of rag left by Mu Huaxian from his purse, and said to the county magistrate, "Call everyone together now and tell them to go look for such a rag near that mountain, or someone Other discoveries can also be reported, and anyone who finds useful clues will be rewarded with 1000 taels of silver."

The county magistrate was frightened by the words "1000 taels of silver" for a long time, then quickly nodded and agreed, and immediately ran to the door to give orders to the people outside, and then flatteringly asked Tang Yi: "Dare to ask?" My lord, could it be that the princess was brought to the border by thieves?"

Tang Yi glanced at him and said, "Don't worry about it so much, as long as you do your job well, you will be rewarded."

Half an hour later, the servants came to report back, and most of the people had gathered at the entrance of the vegetable market.

Tang Yi went with the county magistrate. The county magistrate first introduced Tang Yi's identity to everyone, and then said everything Tang Yi asked him to say.

As soon as he finished speaking, these people were boiling.The lives of the people in this small border area are no better than those near the capital. For them, 1000 taels of silver is an astronomical figure that they never thought they could get. Moreover, Tang Yi also said that after the clues are found, except for those who find the clues, they will In addition to 1000 taels, other people also have ten taels of silver.

Ten taels of silver is enough for them to do farm work for a year!
Naturally, the enthusiasm of the people was mobilized. After the county magistrate finished speaking, everyone dispersed, went home to pack their things, and rushed towards the mountain.

Tang Yi rested for a long time, and rode over there at dusk in the afternoon.In order to flatter, the county magistrate also followed in person.
