Early the next morning, Huo Bao took more than 100 child soldiers and left Quyang with Huo Wu, Du Laoba and others.

Of the 300,000 taels of silver, Huo Bao only brought 100,000 taels, and handed over the rest to Xiuxiu for temporary collection.

accompanied by Huo Shun and Deng Ren.

They brought the silver cart, but they couldn't go fast, and everyone took the mule cart.

Du Lao Ba, Huo Wu one; Huo Bao and Huo Shun; Huo Hu escorted Deng Ren to one.

I don't know how Huo Wu told Huo Shun, Huo Shun's spirit was much better, and he asked his cousin about the resettlement in Jinling.

This is thinking about Uncle Huo and the stone.

Huo Bao talked about the small courtyard in the outer city of Jinling, the Niu Dalang brothers' defection to the army, and the relationship with the Shi and Jia families.

"Uncle has always been thinking about the second brother, when we just came out of the village, the uncle said that he wanted to take the sixth aunt and Niuniu to the second brother, but I didn't expect to catch up with the fall of Quyang, we could only take a detour...... Uncle is worried, but Second Uncle Jia said that the white-shirted army does not hurt the people, so the uncle is a little more relieved...... Later, when my father took me north, Quyang was 'recovered', and we went into the city to look for the second brother, who hung up the door lock and asked the neighbors, only to say that no one had been seen for a while......"

"It's my unfilial piety that makes the elders worry about ......it," Huo Shun sighed.

Huo Bao's eyes swept over Huo Shun's legs, and the doctor said that the previous bone injury should be maintained.

But Binjiang and Jinling are only separated by a river, and I am afraid that Huo Shun will not be able to wait in Jiangbei with peace of mind.

Everyone came out of Quyang early, and it was the official road all the way, and they arrived at Binjiang at noon.

Binjiang is a lower county, with a population of only half of Quyang, but because it was not affected by the war, the city looked more lively than Quyang.

What's more, the riverside is near the river, there are canals for drinking water, the drought has been alleviated a lot, and the people can barely survive.

Quyang was put in and out by the white-shirted army once, and then "military management" for two months, which made the people like frightened birds, and they saw the soldiers and horses running to dodge; Here in Binjiang, it is much more lively, pointing at the team.

"Where's this soldier? A few hundred miles? ”

"Who else can be put into the city? The new county lieutenant! ”

"It's good to be a family, and it's easy to fight!"

"Why are they all hairy boys? Let's be new! ”

"The county yamen posted a notice to recruit soldiers, and your household is registered as three, right?"

"My family is divided, and when the second child goes out, there are only two left!"

"Cheap you old thing!"

Huo Bao listened carefully.

I heard someone outside rejoicing: "The fifth uncle is back, the fifth uncle is back!" ”

It was the voice of Xue Xiao, Xue Biao's adopted son.

Immediately, the carriage also stopped.

Binjiang County has arrived.

The Binjiang County Bing Battalion occupies a small area, and the camp has not yet been expanded, so it has divided most of the manpower over there, and the small half of the manpower is here in the county office.

The county government is connected with the mansions of the magistrate, county and others behind them, and they are now empty.

The process of seizing Binjiang is similar to that of the Texas capital, both of which are "cultists" killing officials and offering the city, the difference is that the governor and the state judge on the state capital side were beheaded, and the head was hung at the gate of the state capital; On the side of Binjiang County, the magistrate and the county were burned to death, and there were no bones.

The county is a local, a money rake, and he is really dead.

In the year of the sixtieth year of Nazhi County, this world can stabilize the land of a county, dredge water conservancy and resume production in the year of drought, and he is a good official.

Running Binjiang requires manpower, and Huo Wu is not a murderer, so this old county will be preserved.

The officials of the imperial court have the responsibility of guarding the land, and the "death news" of Lao Zhi County is also to protect his family.

Right now, the old man is looking for death and life, and he wants to see Huo Wu immediately, and Xue Biao, who is tossing, can't do it, so he asked his adopted son to go to Quyang to find someone quickly, but he didn't expect to see someone come back just after leaving the gate of the county government, and he was inevitably ecstatic.

"It's a little sour, but it's not bad...... At the beginning, I was looking for death and life, and I wanted to be loyal to the court, but then I used the lives of the people to threaten him...... I wonder what's going on right now? Huo Wu whispered to his son.

Huo Shun was not in good health, so he was taken down for placement.

Deng Ren was still guarded by Huo Hu.

The remaining fifty guards of Du Laoba and the one hundred and fifteen child soldiers on Huo Bao's side were all taken down by Xue Xiao to settle down.

Huo Wu, father and son, and Du Laoba went to the county hall.

In the county hall, Xue Biao was anxious on his face, and his forehead was sweaty.

Xue Biao bowed his head and sat alone.

He was dressed in gray cloth monk's robes, with a shiny bald head, a clean chin, and a wrinkled face.

A crumpled old monk.

"This case has to be accepted, and this case should be tried...... After the wheat harvest, it is summer ploughing, and the water used for farming is a big deal. No matter whose ancestral grave it is, it is not as expensive as food! ”

The old monk is lean, but his speech is generous and powerful.

"But that's the ancestral grave of the Huo family!"

"What's wrong with the Huo family?" A man who has attained the Tao and a chicken dog ascends to heaven'? This is not yet the truth, it is too early to be rampant! The old monk was furious.

"The Huo family? Which Huo family? Huo Wuzheng heard the last sentence and strode in.

"Fifth brother!" Xue Biao saw a few people and breathed a sigh of relief: "You're back!" He greeted Huo Bao and Du Laoba again: "Lao Ba and Xiaobao are also here!" ”

"Seventh brother!"

"Uncle Seven!"

Xue Biao's smile was even bigger.

"Humph!" The old monk did not move at all, glaring at Huo Wu angrily.

Huo Dama sat in the center of the golden knife, looked at the old monk and said, "Boss, who is slow?" If you are dissatisfied, you will directly scold me Huo Wu, why did you even bring the old Huo family to say it together? ”

The old monk "Teng" got up, his face was full of anger, and he pointed at Huo Wudao: "How did you promise the old man?" It's only been a few days, and you forgot? ”

Huo Wu became more and more confused: "I promised the boss to protect the stability of this side, and the boss also promised me that the government affairs will be as usual, is there anything wrong with this?" Someone is making trouble in Binjiang? The last sentence was asked to Xue Biao.

"Fifth brother, it was the Huo family in the eastern suburbs who blocked the waterway and led the villagers to fight, and the people from Darong Village handed over the letter and sued the Huo family!"

Huo Wu looked at Xue Biao, looked at the old monk, thought about it, and couldn't help laughing: "Sue it, you think too much!" Don't say whether their 'Huo' and my 'Huo' are the same, even if it is one, I am still lying on the ground, and it will not be their turn to 'chicken dog ascend to heaven'! ”

"Fifth brother, I'm afraid that someone will 'kill chickens and monkeys'...... We just came to Binjiang, and we can't protect the Huo family, which damages the prestige of the fifth brother! Xue Biao disagreed.

"'Killing chickens and monkeys'? Lao Tzu was scared! If someone dares to show a knife, Lao Tzu will chop his hand! Huo Wu disagreed.

"The Huo family is not only a member of the Wuge clan, but also a believer, and they are known to be well-liked in the church, and we also contributed when we entered Binjiang...... If you can't protect this, I'm afraid it will make the people in the church feel cold......" Xue Biao said with another worry.

This Huo family is suspected of being a member of the Xinxian Wei clan on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is a meritorious cultist, no wonder he dares to be so domineering.

Huo Wudao: "Disciples? This believer is also divided into true believers and false believers! Xiaobao come over and tell your seventh uncle how Qu Yang cleaned up the fake cultists! ”

Everyone looked at Huo Bao.

Huo Bao coughed lightly and told Quyang about it.

did not cover up, starting from the discovery of tunnels and lacquer, to the county government cultist gathering, to posting notices to defend the authenticity of the believers.

Xue Biao was a chicken thief, and his eyes lit up immediately.

He was able to lead himself as the head of a county with a thick skin, which means that he understood the weight of this church.

But this is the first to come in everything, not to say that if you hang up your name, you can really get the support of the church.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he was able to "rectify" Binjiang academic affairs, which happened to be cheaper than Xue Biao.

"Worthy of my nephew!" Xue Biao praised sincerely.

The old monk glanced at Huo Bao and snorted softly: "Hmph! It's not the right way, you only know how to play tricks! ”

Huo Bao didn't care, but Huo Wu was annoyed: "Hey! Old monk, I lost you in front of you, you say I can do it, but you can't say that we are Xiaobao! Why is it a little trick? How many good people are there in those sour dings? Do you want to let them pull the banner and make a fortune? According to me, sweeping the streets for half a year is cheaper for them, and it is appropriate to directly punish them for arson! ”

Huo Bao didn't look at the old monk, but only said to Xue Biao: "Seventh uncle, put the rectification of religious affairs in the head, and don't let those hypocrites do illegal things, which will ruin our reputation!" This Huo family is the best candidate! ”

These water shut-off incidents, whether the Huo family intended or not, dragged Huo Wu back.

Instead of letting them be the "chickens" in the hands of others, it is better to be in their own hands.

The old monk heard something strange and frowned: "You are not Liu Sheng's subordinates?" Who the hell are you? ”
