Without waiting for Huo Bao to speak, the shopkeeper was already about to kneel.

"Master, master! You can't kill it again! ”

"Huh?"

"The strange thing that the county soldiers came just now, whether it is 'losing both' or 'fake official errand', they can barely cover it up, this murder and seizure of the city gate is a big deal! I can't cover it! ”

“……”

Huo Bao kept a straight face and did not speak.

Is he so cruel?

Asking people to restrain the city gate guards is just to prevent them from being "caught in the urn".

Naturally, they planned to take advantage of the dawn before dawn to quietly go out of the city.

As for those people, why kill them if you have nothing to do?

"If you don't obey, what do you want to keep it for?" Huo Bao glanced at the shopkeeper and said softly.

The shopkeeper's waist bent even more, and he hurriedly said: "Obedient, obedient!" I'll go and tell them! They don't dare to stop the little masters! ”

Huo Bao raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.

The shopkeeper touched a cold sweat.

The head led the way and went to the west gate of the county seat.

Most of the twenty-nine gatekeepers were like quails, each more honest than the other.

The dishonest one was knocked unconscious.

Seeing that there were no dead people, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, woke up the city gate official, and said "quietly": "Your nobleman travels, open the city gate quickly, don't be verbose!" ”

"But this doesn't have a warrant from the county lord, it's not in accordance with the rules!" The little official held a red envelope the size of a chicken egg on the door of his head and said in a trembling voice.

"The nobleman is in a hurry to get out of the city, even if the master is there, he doesn't dare to stop him! It's about to go, what's the matter for our lord! The shopkeeper was afraid that Huo Bao would be impatient, so he was busy.

Who is not afraid of death?

Someone was carrying it, and the city gate officials were happy to go down the steps, so they were busy and honestly responded.

There was the sound of sticks in the distance, and it was five watches.

The gates were opened, and the mule carts marched out of the city.

One hundred and sixty people, after a big battle, the blood of the end was boiling, and the onlookers also felt that they were senran, no one dared to be casual, and they were a little more solemn unconsciously.

In addition to the different weapons of the child soldiers, these people also had the same color goose feather knife, which was concealed before, and they did not put it away again after drawing the knife tonight.

When the shopkeeper saw it, he glanced at the gatekeeper.

The city gate official swallowed a mouthful of spit and whispered: "Where did the noble man come from, bringing so many personal soldiers in and out?" ”

"Don't ask around, it's not good to know too much!"

The shopkeeper pretended to be deep, but in fact, he didn't have a bottom in his heart.

When people are released, it is not easy to do the rest of this sweeping work.

I have to go to the owner to discuss, the matter is beared, the favor is sold, but I have to find the right mountain to burn incense.

It wasn't until he was two miles away from the city gate that Xue Xiao let out a long breath and muttered, "This is coming out?!" ”

"Luck, I thought I was going to kill a few more!" Shuijin also breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Bao thought about the "nobleman" that the shopkeeper had just mentioned, and said, "Brother Xue, in addition to the commanders of Su Province, what other high-grade military attaches are there?" ”

Daning official system, each province has three divisions, the one in charge of military affairs is the commander of the envoy, and the chief officer is the commander of the two products.

"There are also two people who are both commanding and knowing, from the second grade; All commanded four people, and they were three products. In addition, the commanders of Jinlingwei, Zhenjiangwei and Changzhou Weiwei are also three products. ”

Huo Bao listened and settled down.

The shopkeeper obviously misunderstood.

The more the scope of this suspicion, the better, go back and inquire carefully, and if you can't say it, you can find a suitable vest to walk in Jiangnan.

"Do you want to go down the official road?" Xue Xiao's heart palpitated.

"No!"

"Qu'a County, don't go into the city?" Xue Xiaoshi was frightened.

"If the grain cart does not enter the city, the people will not be hindered."

Shui Jin also reacted and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the shopkeeper will treat us as nobles!" ”

"Well, so don't be weak, I guess there's someone behind you. If we go down the official road and leak cowardice, we will get into trouble if we can't say it. ”

Xue Xiao looked at Huo Bao and then at Shui Jin.

Shui Jin is black and strong, how can he not get involved with the "nobles", only Huo Bao is misunderstood.

Xue Xiaoqiang smiled, and he couldn't say what he felt in his heart.

He despised Huo Bao in various ways before, but now he really doesn't dare.

In front of the foot shop, more than 20 lives, Huo Bao said to kill them.

If it weren't for the cleverness of the shopkeeper, the twenty-nine city gate guards would have been killed.

This kid is really a butcher, with murderous intentions, and has no scruples.

Later...... Don't offend him.

On the next road, Xue Xiao was very honest.

Huo Bao did not sit in the carriage, and kept an eye on the situation on both sides of the road.

The wheat fields on both sides of the road were already yellow, but the wheat fields looked like patches.

"Stop!"

Huo Bao called a stop and jumped out of the car directly.

When Huo Bao looked closer, he saw the reason.

The wheat field is still a wheat field, but most of it is only bare stalks, and the ears of wheat are gone.

In the wheat field in the distance, several figures flashed and disappeared.

"It's really wasted, it's good that this wheat can be harvested for three or four years."

The water enters the agricultural affairs, looks around, and weighs it out.

Huo Bao didn't know whether to be happy or sad, but he was happy that the summer harvest was reduced, the price of grain remained high, and the grain he held in his hand was more valuable; What worries me is that the people at the bottom will have the greatest impact on the reduction in grain prices, and I don't know how much they will starve to death.

Xue Xiaodao: "The wind and rain in the south of the Yangtze River are smooth, and there are two harvests a year, which is not bad for this season's harvest." ”

The three of them returned to the carriage, and the carriage continued on its way.

There are two small black dots in the distance, and they see the movements of Huo Bao and his party in their eyes, although they don't understand their meaning, they remember it in their hearts.

At the end of the day, it was forty miles again.

The two sides of the road have been transformed from wheat fields to paddy fields, and now there are double crops in southern Jiangsu, and early rice can be harvested in mid to late June.

This side is much better than the vicinity of Changning County, and I don't see the homeless people spoiling the crops.

There happened to be a nearby village, so Xue Xiao sent into the village to find the village leader, and the convoy and his entourage borrowed Zhuangzi's wheat field to settle it.

Huo Bao, Xue Xiao, and Shui Jin followed the village to the village to settle down.

It was dark late in summer, and it was still dark, and the group met several groups of villagers.

These villagers each had a bitter color, and when they saw that the village was coming up.

"Muramasa, do you really want to increase the rent?"

"The rent of four or six is not low, and no matter how busy you are, the rations for a year will not be enough."

"Even if it's fifty percent, there is less rain in the spring, and this year's harvest is not as good as in previous years, and sixty percent is not fatal?"

Muramasa frowned and said, "What's the way to do this?" Master Zhang has no shortage of tenants, how many people in Jiangbei have fled from the famine, not to mention tenants, and it is the original intention to sell themselves as slaves. The rent outside is increased to seventy percent. Master Zhang is kind-hearted, and he doesn't dare to confront others, mentioning that sixty percent is already kind. ”

"Woo...... It's a day when people can't live! ”

A man crouched on the ground and began to cry.

"Lao Chen is pitiful, he borrowed money from Yinzi for his mother's medical treatment in the spring, where can I go here?" A villager's humanity.

Muramasa sighed and beckoned Huo Bao and the others to leave.

Huo Bao sighed in his heart, this has become a vicious circle.

The Huainan refugees went to Jiangnan to beg for a way to live, and forced the people of Jiangnan to have no way to live.

The village is home with green bricks and gray tiles, although it is a farmer, but it is also clean.

There are also Xue Xiao's silver beans to open the way, and the village is also very attentive to the hospital.

Killed a little rooster, cut two bacon, and got a table of sumptuous peasant dishes, and there was rice wine brewed by the village family.

"The way of this world is incomprehensible!"

Lao Cun is personally accompanying the guests, and he is very embarrassed: "It is not easy for Master Zhang, everyone else has risen, and I dare not raise the rent...... But it's easy to lower this rent, but it's hard to go up, and there will be trouble in the autumn! ”

"Does anyone dare to resist tenants?" Xue Xiao asked.

"I can't eat enough in my stomach, why don't I dare?" Lao Cun is taking a sip of wine.

As he was talking, Lao Muramasa's grandson stood at the door and probed his brain.

Lao Cun Zheng looked at it and frowned: "What are you doing with your head shrinking your head?" Don't make the guests laugh! ”

The young man said "hehe" twice: "Master, my aunt is here...... I want to find a master to speak! ”

Lao Cun was stunned for a moment, confessed to the three of them, got up and went out.

But the young man couldn't get out, and he didn't look at everyone at a glance.

Xue Xiao put down his chopsticks and looked at the young man, a little more vigilant.

Huo Bao also looked at the boy.

Fourteen or five years old, not tall, with smart eyes, a bit of Huo Bao's character.

Huo Bao had a good impression, beckoned, and called the young man closer: "What are you looking at?" ”

"Master, are you really a caravan?" The boy asked with some caution.

"It's not a real caravan, and it's not a fake caravan?"

"That'...... That...... Where did you come from and where are you going? ”

"What is this, you ask? Want to rob a caravan? Huo Bao frowned.

"No, no!" The young man waved his hand again and again: "I...... Just ask......"

Huo Bao smiled.

Xue Xiao said impatiently: "What do you ask in confusion?" Not down yet! ”

The young man looked sad, drooped his head, and withdrew.
