Du Laoba was in a hurry to go to Songjiang, Huo Bao was in a hurry to go to Jinling, and the group only planned to rest in Binjiang for half a day and go to Jinling the next day.

At dinner, everyone talked about leaving tomorrow morning.

Huo told Huo Wu by the way that he would follow him to Jinling.

"It's not bad for these two days, don't toss, I'll go over in person!" Huo Wudao.

"Fifth uncle, how can you move lightly?" Huo Shun said busily.

"The whole Chuzhou is like this, and it is estimated that it will stop for a while...... If you don't go out now, you won't be able to move in the future! It's you, now that you're like this, you can rest for two days, don't let your father come and feel uncomfortable! ”

Huo Shun was born peacefully.

However, Xue Biao was a little entangled, and asked Huo Wu in a whisper.

"Fifth brother, do you want Sister Jin to pick it up?"

"Pick it up! If you don't feel sorry, I'm still sorry! A good little girl, you are so ruthless to be a child daughter-in-law?! ”

"I'm not...... I didn't think at the time that the Jia family was able to count in Jinling, and that kid in Daihua was talented and could pass the exam, who would have thought that it would come to this point later! ”

"Jia Yan is a gentleman, but if her niece stays there, she still has to go back to Zhen's side to raise her...... Zhen's ordinary woman, her son has a bad future, she doesn't dare to complain about the elder, but she will be angry with her niece, she really wants her niece to stay there, I'm afraid she will be greatly wronged! Even if you get married, you don't have to be so bent, take it back and raise it well, and watch the Jia family deal with it. How old is my niece, what are we anxious about? ”

Xue Biao nodded and made up his mind.

"Then take it back! The fifth brother helped me bring a letter to the past, and I also told the Jia family! ”

"Yes!"

As for crossing the river to pick up his daughter in person, Xue Biaoti didn't mention it.

Huo Wu can leave with confidence, but he is not at ease.

This riverside belongs to their brothers, and they must always stay in town.

*

Eastern suburbs, small banyan village.

Second Master Huo looked at the person and was startled: "Why did you come back?" ”

The person who came was twenty-seven or eight years old, and it was Huo Lin, the eldest grandson of Huo Erye.

"Once you've settled down there, your grandson will be back!" Huo Lin wiped his sweat: "There is an uncle in Jinling, there is nothing to worry about, here at home, the grandson is not at ease." said this, but it was said to Huo Chi next to him.

Huo Chi looked up at the sky, and then looked down at the ants on the ground, not daring to look at his son.

"Daddy is in trouble again?" Hollin wasn't surprised.

"It's Brother Man who coaxes me, it's all his fault, not me!" Huo Chi whispered.

"Huo Man instigated your father to block the waterway in the blessed land, and the two villages fought, but fortunately I went quickly, so I didn't kill anyone! That dog thing, without thinking about the same clan at all, uses your father as a gunman, and you will be on guard in the future! ”

Huo Lin frowned when he heard this, and then said, "Otherwise, I'll go to the Chen family to have a look!" ”

"No, just wait for the county government to mediate!"

"Yes...... What kind of county is it now? ”

"The county government is a yamen, and the yamen is still its own family!" Huo Chi interjected.

Huo Lin looked at his grandfather in a daze.

"Lieutenant Huo is the grandson of your uncle and grandfather, your cousin!" Second Master Huo said: "In this world, in this year, whether to live or toss, you make your own decisions...... It's just that no matter what, you have to know that you are the pillar of our family, and this old and young can't do without you! ”

It is said that Huo Lin is allowed to choose, but where is the choice?

Huo Wu showed the banner of the descendants of the Huo family, which reached the ears of the imperial court, and the Huo family was the "anti-thief".

Even if Xiaorong Village wants to say that it is innocent, someone must believe it.

If it weren't for Huo Wu, the Huo family would have to leave their hometown and hide forever.

Before, Second Master Huo sent the juniors away, but he didn't think of this, for fear of being affected.

It's just that I didn't expect Huo Wu to be really the Huo family, and I can't tell if this is a curse or a blessing.

But regardless of the blessing or misfortune, in the end, it can be connected by blood, and the Huo family's situation in the future will be much better than originally thought.

Huo Lin's expression was solemn, and after a while, Fang said: "Dad, it's not good for Jinling to look at it!" ”

Grandparents and grandchildren looked at each other.

"Got it figured?"

"Hmm!"

Second Master Huo closed his eyes and sighed.

The next day, Huo Wu, father and son, and Du Laoba took a group of people to the dock.

The temporarily requisitioned ships were requisitioned last night and were waiting at the docks.

In addition to Huo Wu's father and son, Du Lao Ba and his entourage, etc., Xue Xiao and Niu Qing were added.

Xue Xiao was ordered by Xue Biao to lead Huo Bao, not only to accompany him to Jinling, but also to Changzhou.

On the side of the grain producing area in Suzhou, you can directly transfer from Jinling Grain Store, and you don't need to go there in person for the time being.

In Changzhou, Huo Bao had to go through it in person.

As for Niu Qing, he went to visit his relatives.

Xue Xiao brought fifty personal soldiers, and Niu Qing also brought fifty people.

plus the two hundred that Huo Bao brought before, it adds up to about three hundred people.

The mighty pier is extremely conspicuous.

Because the ferries were all requisitioned, many pedestrians who wanted to cross the river were stranded.

Many of these people are local gentry in Binjiang, dragging their families to the south, and there are many carriages and horses.

When I saw Huo Bao and his party, the voices of pedestrians who were angry and loud because they couldn't board the boat became quieter.

"It's white...... It's those people ......."

"It's them, the one in blue, who posted a notice at the entrance of the yamen yesterday."

"Are they leaving?"

"Tens of thousands of people are besieging the city, how many are there in front of you?"

"That person ran from Chuzhou just now, and Chuzhou was also occupied!"

"This Huainan can't stay!"

No one dared to run, but they all shrank like quails, for fear of staring.

These people looked at Huo Wuyi and muttered, but they didn't know that Huo Wu, Huo Bao and others also looked at these people.

"It's all rich people, we can't let them run away like this!" Huo Wu narrowed his eyes and beckoned Niu Qing to come over: "You will cross the river in a few days, and take an errand first!" ”

"Fifth Uncle commands!"

Huo Wu said in a low voice: "From today onwards, this dock will be managed by the military...... Send more people to seal off the east and west wild ferries, and only this one ferry port will be left in the hundreds of miles along the north of the river...... If you want to cross the river, the outsiders will collect eighty percent of the property from the entourage as ferry money; The locals in Binjiang want to cross the river, in addition to eighty percent of the property, they also have to confiscate all the land under their name! ”

"Fifth uncle, isn't this a robbery?" Niu Qing was surprised and whispered.

"Don't rob? Everyone has run away, the money is gone, and there is a poor Binjiang left, let's eat soil? ”

"What about those who don't want to leave?"

"Don't go...... Fifty percent of the property is donated to charity, and the land and property are not touched......"

Niu Qing is confused, if he doesn't leave, he will receive fifty percent, does the fifth uncle want people to cross the river or not the river?

"I don't worry about handing it over to others, I can only hand it over to you, you help the fifth uncle to see this ferry to death, and these thousands of people are counting on you!" Huo Wu patted Niu Qing's shoulder.

Niu Qing straightened his chest and said, "Fifth uncle, don't worry, my nephew will see it to death!" ”

While the two were talking, a Confucian student walked out of the pedestrians who were originally waiting for the boat and walked over.

Seeing this, Xue Xiao wanted to intercept it, but was stopped by Huo Wu waving his hand.

Huo Wu looked at the person's dress, then looked at his face, and said, "Huo Lin? ”

"It's really the little brother Huo Lin, I've seen the fifth cousin." Huo Lin bowed.

Although the brothers met for the first time, the second master said yesterday that Huo Wu and Huo Bao father and son described them.

Coupled with the position of everyone, with Huo Wu as the respect, the two places are compared, and there will be no misidentification of people.

Huo Wu personally helped it, brought an accident, and hesitated: "Uncle said that you went to Jinling the day before yesterday, and this is coming back again?" Or is it delayed, and you only leave today? ”

"I don't worry about my grandfather and father, I came back yesterday, I know that it wasn't someone else who impersonated the matter, it was really my cousin who returned to his hometown, and my grandfather sent me to pick up the children back......," Huo Lin said calmly.

Huo Wu couldn't help but be moved.

Where is this just picking up people?

This is the family's life on themselves.

"This ...... Jinling is more prosperous, if it is properly placed, it is not in a hurry to pick up people......" Huo Wu hesitated, but still spoke.

"Pick up early and pick up late, and come back with my cousin to protect me, which is more reassuring than in Jinling!" Holling Road.

Huo Wuda smiled: "Good, good, good!" This is also a coincidence, I also went to pick up people, and there are a few people from our family over there, and this time they also received Binjiang, and the family is reunited......"
