Chapter 183: Cleaning up the Fallen Branches

Chuzhou Prefecture.

The people sitting in the hall were all members of the Huo family, Huo Wu's father and son, Uncle Huo, Huo Er's grandfather, and Huo Lin's grandson.

The one who lay down and withered on the ground like a dead dog is also surnamed Huo, in his forties, and he is the "Brother Man" who once encouraged Huo Chi, who was mentally incomplete, to fight for water with Chen Ju's family.

Several days of detention and torture made Huo Man, a pampered and well-mannered man, very embarrassed.

Seeing Huo Wu on the high throne, his face showed fear and he didn't dare to look directly.

Seeing Second Master Huo, he seemed to see a life-saving straw again, and wailed: "Second Uncle ......"

Second Master Huo looked at this nephew coldly, his face full of disgust.

Before, they were tossing in Binjing County, trying to calculate Uncle Huo and Aunt Huo Liu, making a disturbance and implicating Huo Lin, which had already made the old man angry and pulled them to scold.

I didn't expect him to teach a long lesson, and he calculated to come to Chuzhou again.

Huo Wu got up, walked up to the man, and said, "You and I have five suits, it's very irrelevant...... But you shouldn't have played the banner of Lao Tzu to show off your might, and then came to plot against Lao Tzu...... God can't even look past it when you eat it like this......"

Huo Man was tortured for a few days, and everything he could say was said.

It is nothing more than because of this surname Huo that he has ambitions and wants to climb to Huo Wu, the lord of Chuzhou.

But Huo Wu has all the houses in Nanshan Village around him, even on the Binjiang side, there is also the second master Huo who is closer in blood.

This Huo Man wanted to use the means, first squeezed out the people of the various houses in Nanshan Village, and then provoked the second master Huo to alienate himself, then he could come forward.

I didn't expect to hit the iron plate.

Huo Man's desire to survive was very strong, and his tears and snot came down: "Fifth master, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore...... Thinking of the love of an ancestor, he spared me this ......"

Speaking of which, he is Huo Wu's uncle, and he is still a lifter, but at this moment, he is senior, and he can't take care of anything.

The torture three times a day made Huo Man know that Huo Wu would really kill himself.

He was terrified.

Huo Wu was extremely annoyed.

is only a calculating waste, and he can't help himself at all, but he almost provoked his flesh and blood relationship with Huo Shun, and almost lost Zhang Qianhu, a general.

"Is the Han family's silver comfortably received?"

Huo Wuyin said compassionately.

Huo Man's face turned pale, revealing horror.

He confessed repeatedly in the past few days, attributing all the things to his jealousy and dissatisfaction with other clansmen, and he wanted to hide it.

Huo Wu had already turned around and returned to his seat, looked at Second Master Huo, and said coldly: "It's just such a thing, Second Master still wants to intercede with him?" ”

The second master sighed and shook his head: "The old man is old and confused, he shouldn't have gone this way." ”

The second grandfather and grandson came over, and they were begged by Huo Man's family.

It's just that after reading Huo Man's confession, Second Master Huo changed his mind.

Huo Wu looked at Uncle Huo again: "What about the eldest brother?" Can't wipe your face, but also help things talk? ”

Uncle Huo gritted his teeth and said, "I'm here to see him, how can he die!" ”

The clay figure also has three points of earthiness, not to mention that Uncle Huo can be the head of a village, so he is not a face.

It is not easy for his son to escape death.

Now that it's time to take revenge, it's hard to let go of the knot, but Huo Man is doing bad things under the banner of his son, which is really hateful.

If Huo Wu and Xiaobao were really angry with their son because of this, the relationship between the two houses would really be estranged as Huo Man wished.

Uncle Huo is very self-aware, he is old and useless, and all his sons and grandchildren will rely on Huo Wu in the future.

"Kill!"

Uncle Huo was impatient to be a good man again, and said happily directly.

Second Master Huo looked at Uncle Huo and was very surprised.

Huo Wu picked the corners of his mouth: "I deserve to die, since we both feel that we should be killed, let's kill it!" ”

Huo Man slumped on the ground, scared to pee, and there were a bunch of water stains on the ground.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I say, I say...... It was instigated by the Han family, Han Meng wanted to attack Chuzhou, and deliberately let people make trouble in Chuzhou...... I also asked the defense of Binjiang, and wanted to find an opportunity to kidnap those rooms to ......"

Huo Wu and Huo Bao father and son glanced at each other, and they were a little afraid.

Han Meng is General Lingshui Han who is now paralyzed in bed.

Calculate the time of his layout, it was in July and August, which was when Deng Jian led people to sweep the entire territory of Chuzhou.

At that time, Lingshui County was also swept away, and Han Meng also sent someone to Chuzhou to see Huo Wu protesting, but there was really no place to reason, so he couldn't escape the city.

Because of this, at that time, everyone still despised General Han for his cowardice and lack of courage.

It's really underestimating.

Unexpectedly, he had a lot of appetite, and he actually had the idea of fighting Chuzhou, and he secretly made a layout.

Fortunately, he was paralyzed early.

Otherwise, the main force of the Chuzhou Army was pulled out last month, and there were such people hidden in the shadows, and they would really cause trouble.

In the future, you really can't underestimate people.

Second Master Huo originally thought that Huo Wu was not humane, but at this moment, he glared at Huo Man.

With Huo Man's virtue, if the Lingshui Whiteshirt Army really came to Binjiang, it would not only be Uncle Huo and Aunt Huo Liu who would be harmed, but he would definitely not be able to do so.

Huo Wu didn't bother to look at Huo Man again, and said, "Huo Man hangs, the family property is confiscated, and the family is exiled!" ”

Huo Man was about to cry, but someone had already stepped forward and covered his mouth and dragged him down.

In addition to keeping the whole corpse, Huo Wu did not treat the Huo family differently.

This place of exile is also cheap, and it is directly sent to Songjiang as a slave by ship.

As for whether Huo Man's children and grandchildren are innocent?

Huo Man, the head of the family, was not kind to Huo Wu's father and son, how could his children and grandchildren have kindness?

The hatred of killing relatives is not shared, Huo Wu will not keep these disasters.

Second Master Huo sighed heavily, but he didn't say anything to dissuade him.

Uncle Huo was stunned, not knowing what to think.

Huo Wu looked at Huo Lin and said: "Binjiang County is under your rule, and Huo Man is your clansman, remember your negligence, do you feel wronged?" ”

Huo Lin got up, his face full of shame: "It's me who is incompetent and has failed the fifth master." ”

Huo Wu nodded and said, "You have disappointed me...... I hope there won't be a second time! ”

"Yes!"

Huo Lin replied solemnly: "There will be no next time!" ”

Huo's family is the old surname of Binjiang County, not only Huo Man's family.

Huo Wu groaned: "The other families are also keeping an eye on it, and there is no punishment for the crime, but if there is a difference in behavior, you can catch it by mistake and not put it wrong!" ”

Huo Lin said: "The fifth master can rest assured, no one will be allowed to ruin the reputation of the fifth master." ”

After the matter was dealt with, Second Grandmaster Huo and Grandgrande Huo Lin went down to clean up and prepared to return to Binjiang on the same day.

Uncle Huo was left behind.

"Binjiang County is too close to Lingshui, so it's better just in case...... The eldest brother will clean up when he goes back, and move to Hezhou with the six brothers and sisters and their mothers! ”

Huo Wu made up his mind.

The Huo clan in Binjiang County is just relying on the fact that they are members of the Huo Wu clan, and several of Huo Wu's cousins are in Binjiang, and they attach great importance to the ancestral land, so it is good to "draw salary from the bottom of the kettle".

Uncle Huo did not object, Binjiang County was important before, and it was Huo Wu's back road.

Now that the Chuzhou Army has a large territory, land and water, and a new wharf, the riverside has no previous role.

In August, he hit Hezhou, and Shi went out with Huo Wu.

When the Chaohu Incident happened, all the generals of the Chuzhou Army were dispatched, and Huo Wu ordered Shi to bring a thousand people to stay in Hezhou, and he couldn't really let Master Song, a civil official, stay alone.

Uncle Huo went to Hezhou here, and it was also a reunion with his grandchildren.

"Hezhou is close to Chaohu Lake, and when the time comes, the eldest brother will take the stone to Chaohu Lake and walk to the water division......" Huo Wudao.

Niuniu's family affairs, Huo Wu's own idea; Shi's relatives were asked by Uncle Huo before.

If it is just to marry the general of Chaohu Lake, it is enough to have Niuniu.

The reason why there is another door to the snake is that I think about the stone.

The Haw Par Brothers, Niu Qing and others all came to the fore, each leading an army.

The stone has no merit, just because it is Huo Wu's nephew, he temporarily takes over the position of a thousand households.

Huo Wu watched coldly, this nephew was loyal and filial, but he lacked bravery.

Three-year-olds look old, not to mention seventeen-year-old boys, their temperament has grown up.

It is not easy to rely on stones to make achievements on the battlefield by yourself.

said that it is a good family, and the two families are pulling, and it should not be difficult to be a rich idler.

Huo Wucai chose the granddaughter of the Yu family with flawed marriages, rather than the second granddaughter of the Yu family, who had better conditions.

Huo Wu saw Huo Shi's shortcomings, how could Uncle Huo not know?

He was very grateful to Huo Wu.

Among Huo Wu's juniors, Huo Hu's relatives are not counted, they are redundant, and among the other people, Shishi's relatives are the best.

Uncle Huo doesn't know anything about military affairs, but he also knows that if he wants to conquer Jianghuai, this sailor plays a very important role.

The weight of the generals of the Chaohu Water Division will not be inferior to Deng, Ma and others.

He not only thought about his cousin's goodness, but also sincerely considered his cousin, and said: "Even if you recognize that side, you should also give some benefits...... Huo Lin is young and inconsiderate, but he has tried his best to ...... in the past few months."

A showman is a county magistrate, and he can maintain local stability and remain unchanged, and he is also doing his best.

Huo Wu said with regret: "It's too slow to learn, I originally planned to use him a lot, but now I can only let it go first!" ”

Speaking of which, Huo Lin was a talent before, but Li Qianhu was not even a child.

But Li Qianhu took over Quyang in front of him, and there was nothing wrong with staying in Chuzhou for the past two months.

With Li Qianhu in comparison, it is no wonder that Huo Wu is dissatisfied with Huo Lin.

Uncle Huo persuaded this sentence, and he stopped being verbose.

Even if you want to "nepotism", this "pro" has to be taken out, otherwise why bother.

Huo Bao listened to this half-ring, and said: "In Luzhou and Hezhou, I called Leopard and Xiaohou to play my banner and recruit the gentry of the state capital and the counties below to be guards...... On the Chuzhou side, it was only recruited in the state capital before, but this time it is just possible to call dozens of people in Binjiang and Quyang......"

The people of the Huo clan, if they want to climb up to Huo Wu's father and son, there is no way, so they will make a faint move, so it is good to open a door for them.

Uncle Huo hurriedly nodded and said, "That's good, whether he uses it or not, come to his side first." ”

Huo Wu thought thoughtfully: "What can a group of young master soldiers do?" Xiaobao wants to choose them as the second batch of staff officers? ”

Huo Bao nodded and said, "Evaluate it, and then select it from it...... The previous group of staff officers in Chuzhou was recruited in a hurry......"

Something like a die-hard believer, it must be ruled out.

There are also selfish and backbone-oriented people, let them do ideological work, that is to pit themselves.
