Chapter 212: Xie Da'en and Xiao Si are willing to lead the way
With the help of the villagers, Lin Xiaosi buried his family.
Aunt Zhang was deeply poisoned, and it was difficult to return, so she left within two days. But because Uncle Zhang loves meat and eats less vegetables, he stopped eating those hemp greens and drank detoxification decoction, and his symptoms have gradually eased.
Only then did the villagers believe in Lord Huyan's words.
"The kindness of the adults cannot be repaid by the grass people! If it weren't for the adults to find out, the land assigned to my family turned out to be the land of ghosts and gods, but I am afraid that during the period of filial piety, the grass people will eat those poisonous hemp vegetables, I am afraid that they will not die soon......"
Lin Xiaosi was very embarrassed, he often saw officials protecting each other and eating the people, but he had never seen a good official like Lord Huyan, who was willing to stand up for the promotion of the people.
He raised his head and asked, "Lord Huyan, you are a big official in the imperial court, why can't all officials be like you?" ”
Hu Yanjin said with a smile: "There are clean officials and faint officials; The people have good people and bad people, not to mention, there are specific environments and events.
Although the current emperor has shortcomings, but he has been in power for 20 years, he can ensure the peace of the border, so that all countries will come to the court, and the people of the world will be peaceful. ”
"Is that so? Why do we, the common people, still find it unsustainable? ”
What Hu Yanjin said made Lin Xiaosi hard to believe, what he saw was the tragic death of the third brother, and the brothers who occupied the yamen with the third sister-in-law died one after another due to the suppression.
Not to mention how many innocent women the emperor killed by mistake in order to catch the third sister-in-law.
"The imperial court also has its difficulties. For example, the Ming Dynasty was vast, and the imperial court was far away in Beijing, and many decrees were discounted when they arrived in the locality. The unknown Jingshi Imperial Court, and the unknown Li people, are separated by several layers of officials, large and small. ”
Hu Yanjin saw the thoughtful Lin Xiaosi, smiled slightly, and changed his words:
"This time, the imperial court sent its own officials to inspect Shandong, just to resettle the displaced people and landless civilians gathered in the non-jurisdictional area. It's a pity......"
"I don't know my lord...... What a pity? Lin Xiaosi asked a little nervously.
Hu Yanjin sighed: "It's a pity that this official has to return in vain...... You see that the imperial court wants to do something directly, but it is often unsuccessful, and finally it is handed over to the local government, but I am afraid that the silver spent by the court will not know whose treasury it has entered in vain. ”
looked at the young but old governor in front of him, he was in his own home, checking the cause of his mother's death; invited a doctor to treat Aunt Zhang's family; He was in front of the Lin clan ancestral hall, fighting for himself.
Lin Xiaosi stood up violently and said firmly: "My lord, the grass people believe in you!" The grass people can take you to find those homeless! ”
"Oh? Are they nearby? Hu Yanjin asked deliberately.
Lin Xiaosi smiled honestly: "How can that?" The grass people also heard the news of their parents and rushed back thousands of miles. However, that place is not far away, and you have to go to the Shandong side, which is at the junction of Jinan Mansion, Dongchang Mansion and Hejian Mansion in Beizhili. ”
If Hu Yanjin had grown a beard, he would definitely pout twice like Mr. Wu did now.
The buckwheat next to her is an eye-opener, and she rarely has the opportunity to watch her senior brother's office work. Usually when I see him in the house, I always smile and sticky, but I didn't expect Hu Yanjin to see this few times, as if he had changed as a person, making her ......
Thinking of this, Hua Qiao didn't feel a slight heat on her face, and quickly lowered her head.
Ah Gua and Xiao Gao also breathed a sigh of relief: I didn't expect the nosy buckwheat girl to take care of a guide for adults!
After Lin Xiaosi took care of everything at home, they went on the road.
"Senior brother, did you say he would take us to Tang Sai'er?"
"I should go in, but whether Tang Sai'er wants to see us or not is another matter...... Hey, wait, it's not us, you don't go in, you're outside with Yu Linwei and them. ”
Hu Yanjin smiled and patted the back of Hua Qiao's hand: Senior brother has been tricked by you many times, and he has experience.
Hua Qiao said pitifully: "I can't see you, what do I want you to do?" ”
Hu Yanjin's heart sank, there was a feeling of drowning, he hadn't gotten up from the water yet, and Hua Qiao pressed him down again: "It's all men outside, I don't know each other, what should I do if they bully me?" ”
"That'...... That...... I can't take you with me, I can't figure out what's going on inside, in case they're annoyed...... When you arrive, I'll ask Agua to send you to live in Wuqiao City, and when it's over, I'll go over to find you. ”
Hu Yanjin felt that it was a little difficult to breathe, as if he wanted to say goodbye to the girl he loved.
Hua Qiao's eyes were also red, and she said two words: "I don't." ”
The carriage suddenly deviated from the official road and walked into the woods next to it, Lin Xiaosi leaned in and lifted the curtain and said, "My lord, let's take a shortcut, but the carriage will be hidden in the woods, there is no road behind, and the car can't get in." ”
"I remember there's a mountain pass ahead, can't you go in there?"
Hu Yanjin felt that something was wrong, this had not yet reached the mountain pass agreed with Yu Linwei, and at this time, he entered the mountain halfway, so he couldn't notify their people to answer.
"The mountain pass over there is empty, and after entering, it is all trapped, and there is no way to reach the back mountain. There are a few empty huts built on the mountain, and they are all hidden from people. ”
Lin Xiaosi didn't know if he already trusted them very much, or if he had no fear, and he didn't hide it.
Hu Yanjin lowered the curtain and smiled bitterly at Hua Qiao: "I can't take you there now, be careful, I will have you." ”
Agua untied the horse, and simply packed up the salute, tied it into a bag and hung it on the horse's back.
Xiao Gao felt in the carriage and found a deerskin bag and stuffed it into Hua Qiao's hand. As soon as Hua Qiao checked it, he knew that it was the stone he had found for himself.
Since he was a child, Gao also learned flying stones, he often pondered by himself, and combined the method of spending money with the existing flying locust stone of the Ming Dynasty, and there were many more tricks.
The accuracy and strength are much stronger than using a single technique, and it can also make people who know how to fight locust stones unable to prevent it.
They had only three horses, but four of them...... Everything is different from the original plan, you can only take one step and see one step.
Five of them, leading three horses, walked through the grove and down a col. It often seems that there is no road, but Lin Xiaosi pushes those trees, and he can open a road that only allows one person and one horse to pass.
Seeing that they were all silently remembering the way, Lin Xiaosi smiled and said: "I can't remember, the direction will change every day, and it will not be in this order if you go again tomorrow." ”
I believe you're a ghost.
Hu Yanjin and Xiao Gao silently exchanged glances, Xiao Gao scooped up his sleeves, and this time the buckwheat also saw it: on the inside of his arm, he drew marks in turn with carbon strips.
"In that case, Little Four, you can introduce us to the situation in the mountains, and what are the rules, so that we don't accidentally offend people when we go in." Hu Yanjin smiled and talked to him.
Lin Xiaosi only believed his words, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a smile:
"This is almost past the Lock Dragon Road, I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm afraid you don't know who the people living in this mountain are."
"Oh? Could it be that there are still masters outside the world, who can't cultivate immortals here? Hu Yanjin asked knowingly.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaosi nodded:
"Yes, you can also say the same, everyone calls her 'Immortal Gu', you say, what is it if you are not cultivating immortals?"
