"What, the kid surnamed Xu ran away?"

Two days later, the people sent by the prefect's yamen to rob and kill Xu Xian came back one after another, and Liu Hekuan knew the specific situation on Xu Xian's side.

He was already so surprised that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Song Huazhu said respectfully: "My lord, it's strange to say, this kid seems to have put on his wings and flew away, and the entire Hejian Mansion has disappeared from him, and this will have sent a fast horse to investigate, and there are still no clues." ”

"Impossible, impossible!" Liu Youkuan paced back and forth, shook his head and said, "Sending so many people, and he also brought so many carriages and men, the speed of travel must be very slow, how could he let him escape?" It must be hiding somewhere, wanting to wait for the limelight to pass, and then slowly return to his Yanshan County, this kid is too cunning. ”

Song Huazhu said: "My lord, now ...... When is it good? ”

"You're a useless thing, and you still ask this official? Hurry up and send someone to find it, if you can't find it, don't even come back to you! Liu and Kuan jumped like thunder.

"Yes, yes!" Song Huazhu was aggrieved in his heart, but he still retreated honestly.

After Song Huazhu walked out of the prefect's yamen, there was a quick horse to report the news to Song Huazhu: "Song Tongzhi, I just got the flying pigeon from Yanshan County, saying that the surname Xu has already brought people back to Yanshan County, and even the food we gave him before was also brought back by him!" ”

"Say it again!" Song Huazhu was also furious.

What the sentinel said was beyond his comprehension.

"My lord, that's true, I heard...... It was he who took a shortcut and returned to Yanshan County early! Sentry said.

Song Huazhu stood there, the whole person was stunned, and after a while, he reacted, and quickly turned around and went in to report to Liu Youkuan.

After waiting for more news to come, and even the local people in Yanshan County had already reported the incident, Song Huazhu and Liu Youkuan finally believed one thing, that is, Xu Xian did lead people to run away, not only did they not kill them, but they even brought back the four hundred stone grain.

“…… My lord, don't be angry, even if he goes back, we still have a chance, it's a big deal to send someone to assassinate him, those families in Yanshan County also want him to die, he is guilty of public anger, he must die! Song Huazhu comforted Liu Youkuan.

Liu Youkuan held the table with his hand, the whole person was about to vomit blood, he coughed violently, and in the end, he really coughed up blood.

"Kill him, you must dismantle him in eight pieces, if he doesn't die, all of you people will die! Ahem, when the official sees this kid again, it must be his head in front of the official, go quickly! Liu Youkuan yelled at Song Huazhu and some subordinates and staff members as if he was crazy.

"Order, my lord, you just have to wait for the good news, you will definitely kill the surname Xu in the shortest possible time!" When Song Huazhu said this, he had no confidence, and he had a feeling of self-deception.

……

……

Xu Xian returned to Yanshan County safely.

Even Xu Xian's own subordinates were a little unbelievable, Xu Xian actually got 400 stone of grain in the hands of the domineering and unreasonable prefect of Hejian Prefecture, and transported it back to Yanshan County safely.

After Xu Xian returned to the county office, a meeting was immediately held to discuss the use of this batch of grain.

Shen Hao said: "My lord, with this batch of food, plus the income from the previous bandits, we can recruit troops!" ”

"Yes, my lord, this batch of grain can feed at least five hundred soldiers, and it will be much easier to level the local bandits in Yanshan County!" Du Yong and others were also very excited.

Xu Xian said with a smile: "This food seems to be a lot, but I can't bear to open so many mouths of my subordinates, the matter of recruiting troops can be temporarily slowed down, and I will think of some ways to get some more food out in the next few days." ”

If Xu Xian had said this before, no one present would want to believe it, but now no one would doubt Xu Xian.

The group went to do their own things according to Xu Xian's instructions, Xu Xian also went home to reunite with his family, after Xu Xian went home, he didn't see Xiaoqing, Bai Suzhen came out alone to meet Xu Xian.

"The official is back? Are you safe? Bai Suzhen said with a smile.

Xu Xian nodded and said: "It's okay, it's even going well, I don't know what's going on, it actually took an hour or two to come back from Fucheng, lady, are you strange?" ”

"Oh? The official is not wrong, right? From Fucheng to Yanshan County, is it so close? Bai Suzhen looked incredulous, as if Xu Xian was entertaining her.

Xu Xian smiled: "Forget it, let's not talk about this first, what about Xiaoqing?" ”

"Oh, this girl, there is something to do, I didn't do it before, and the concubine let her go again!" When Bai Suzhen said this, her expression was a little evasive, and Xu Xian could probably feel that Bai Suzhen seemed to have something to hide from herself.

"Hmm." Xu Xian nodded, and after entering the mansion, he felt refreshed.

Bai Suzhen was afraid that Xu Xian would think too much, so she quickly diverted the topic and said what Xu Xian wanted to know: "Official, you wanted to do business with people at sea before, didn't you send Wufu to investigate before the concubine?" Wufu has just come back and learned some news, I don't know if the officials can use it. ”

"Oh?" Xu Xian was also a little surprised, and said, "The lady investigated the news so quickly?" Say it. ”

Bai Suzhen said: "The officials still go inside to talk first, how can this outside be the place to talk?" ”

Entering the hall, Tang Wanrong also came out to salute Xu Xian, Xu Xian saw that Tang Wanrong was still tired, and knew that Tang Wanrong's condition had not been good these days, Xu Xian thought: "Her illness can't be caused by living with her mother and Xiaoqing, right?" Otherwise, how could she, who has always been in good health, suddenly fall so sick? ”

Xu Xian didn't know how to explain Tang Wanrong's condition, he had already diagnosed Tang Wanrong's illness many times before, and he didn't notice any major symptoms.

Because Tang Wanrong was not in good health, she just came out to say hello and went in.

Xu Xian didn't follow in, he was still very concerned about the situation of the Sea Clan.

Bai Suzhen then sat down and said: "It is said that there are some people on the sea, they can live in the seawater, and even establish towns in the shallow seabed, this is what the official said before about those who do maritime trade. ”

"Huh." Although Xu Xian knew that what Bai Suzhen said was the truth, he still had to pretend not to believe it, and said, "The lady is not joking, right?" Man is not a fish, and without gills, how can he live in the sea? Even if you can breathe, how can you eat and live without light at the bottom of the sea? ”

Bai Suzhen said: "When the concubine first heard about this, she didn't believe it, but Wufu said it well, as if they had also seen the people of the Sea Clan, these people of the Sea Clan will come to the land to do business, if the officials are very curious about these people, you can find someone to test it, maybe it will verify the truth of what Wufu said." ”
