Fu Xiaojiu wrote a letter to Mrs. Huo again, and talked earnestly about Li Dalong's help to their family all along.

Although Fu Xiaojiu knew that Li Dalong was helping them like this, he actually wanted to win them over and use them.

Fu Xiaojiu also interceded for Ji Sanniang, saying that she really didn't know anything, so don't burden her.

After Fu Xiaojiu's letter was written, he was still apprehensive in his heart.

It happened that a batch of goods was going to be delivered to Biansai tomorrow, so Fu Xiaojiu hid the letter inside.

Only about three days after the letter was sent, Fu Xiaojiu found that there was some change in the county.

These days, there are suddenly many unfamiliar looking faces on the streets, and their complexions are whiter than the average person.

At the same time, all shops that sell rice, flour, grain and oil, whether it is coarse grain or fine grain, sell very well.

There are also many people who come to Fu Xiaojiu to buy gold sore medicine and muscle-building cream, Fu Xiaojiu is not greedy, and after selling the inventory in the store is almost there, he said that these medicines will not be made for the time being, because the medicinal materials are missing a few flavors, and they have to wait for a while to come back from other places.

Fu Xiaojiu let the workshop temporarily close, and the caliber unanimously said that the medicinal materials had been used up, and he would not be able to restart until the medicinal materials arrived.

Fu Xiaojiu immediately wrote another letter to Mrs. Huo, and when she was worrying about how to send a letter to Mrs. Huo this time, Feng Zhongjun appeared in time.

He said that their team was going back after completing the task, and asked Fu Xiaojiu if he wanted to reply to Mrs. Huo.

Fu Xiaojiu hurriedly gave the letter to Feng Zhongjun and asked him what his position was in the army now.

Feng Zhongjun proudly said that he was already a small capital commander who managed 500 people, and he did not disgrace his family.

Fu Xiaojiu didn't expect Feng Zhongjun to be promoted so quickly, Fu Xiaojiu said congratulations to Feng Zhongjun, and Feng Zhongjun left in a hurry.

On the night Feng Zhongjun left, Fu Xiaojiu's heart was a little panicked.

Fu Xiaojiu thought about it for a while, and decided to gather all the family members in his house and held a family meeting for them.

"Xiao Jiu, what do you want to tell us when you called everyone?" Wan Pozi asked first.

Fu Xiaojiu said with a solemn expression: "I don't know if you have noticed, there have been more unfamiliar faces in the county recently, and their complexions are whiter than ordinary people, and the business in the place where rice, flour, grain and oil is sold recently, and even the business of the gold and silverware shop and wine shop next door is also good, of course, my medical hall has also sold a lot of medicine recently, but have you noticed that there is anything wrong with all this?" ”

After listening to what Fu Xiaojiu said, Old Man Wan took a puff of his cigarette pouch, and his expression became serious.

"According to Xiao Jiu's statement, why does it seem to mean that he wants to fight?"

"What? To go to war? "Wan Pozi doesn't believe it.

Old Man Wan knocked his pipe on the sole of his shoe, and then said: "I remember that my father told me about the war, he said that before the war, rice, flour, grain, oil and medicine would be bought, and by the way, there were many people who exchanged copper plates and silver for gold. As soon as Xiao Jiu said this, I felt that it was going to be a war. ”

Wan Pozi hurriedly said: "Now it's very peaceful, and the border is guarded by General Huo, how can you fight?" ”

Old Man Wan said seriously: "Don't believe it. Why else did Xiao Jiu gather us all together? ”

After speaking, Old Man Wan glanced at Fu Xiaojiu.

Fu Xiaojiu didn't expect that Old Man Wan really heard some doorways, nodded and said, "Dad is right, I'm really worried about whether this is a sign before the war is about to start?" ”

Wan Feizhi asked puzzledly: "Third sister-in-law, what you said makes sense, but I don't quite understand, why are those people's skin whiter than others?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu looked at her and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten the little carpenter who came to stitch up the wound that day?" Didn't you say that they were white-skinned, maybe they were hiding somewhere and working secretly? Maybe you're right! ”

Wan Feizhi still didn't understand, "Third sister-in-law, what does this mean?" Is there really someone hiding and working secretly? ”

Fu Xiaojiu said affirmatively: "That's right, there is such a group of people hiding in the shadows to make weapons and tools, and there may be some people hiding in the shadows to practice, and these people can't see the light." Recently, the war has been on the verge of breaking out, so they have come out to show their faces. ”

Wan Pozi felt that Fu Xiaojiu's words were a little strange, and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Jiu, what do you mean by this?" Why do I hear you that these people are not good people? ”

Fu Xiaojiu's expression was even more solemn than just now, and he said affirmatively: "That's right, they are not people who are facing our people." They may be rebellious ministers and thieves who lure wolves into the house, collude with foreigners, and want to rebel! ”

Everyone was taken aback by Fu Xiaojiu's words, and Wan Pozi hurriedly said: "Xiao Jiu, you can't talk nonsense!" How do you know that they are rebels and thieves? ”

Fu Xiaojiu looked at Wan Pozi and the others, and said straight to the point: "We are all our own family, and I won't hide it from you." This group of people are all people who were planted in the county seat by the three princes, and the three princes wanted to make the saint make him the prince, so they had to do such a rebellious thing. The leader of these people was Li Dalong, but Li Dalong has disappeared since he left a year ago, and now their leader is He Huzi. The capital is very chaotic because of the matter of the third prince and the seventh prince competing for the crown, and Mrs. Huo has long asked me to secretly monitor their every move, so what I said is not child's play, nor is it speculation. ”

This time, everyone's faces turned white with fright.

Wan Pozi was silent for a moment, and asked questioningly, "Can Li Dalong be that kind of person?" How can I see that he doesn't look like that? ”

Fu Xiaojiu said hesitantly: "Although I don't believe that Li Dalong is that kind of person, I guess he may also be dependent and have to obey the master's orders, right?" It's just that when he leaves like this, his life and death are uncertain, and I don't know if he wants to escape from the control of the three princes, or if he has already taken his life for the three princes. ”

After hearing this, Wan Pozi immediately sent out a series of questions in a panic: "How can this be?" Isn't he just a snake with a bit of a background? How could you get involved in such a court battle? If that's true, then what do we do? Will we be implicated and counted as conspiracy against the party? Xiao Jiu, have you already figured out how to deal with it, that's why you called us all over? ”

Fu Xiaojiu said calmly: "I did think of a way, and that is to escape." If there is a real war, it will be us ordinary people who are unlucky! We can't sit still, don't care if we will be counted as Li Dalong's comrades, let's escape before this battle starts! ”

Wan Pozi's face immediately changed, "What? We've just gotten our business big and we're going to run away? Do we have to give up all these family businesses? But where can we escape? ”

Not only Mrs. Wan, but also Old Man Wan and Wan Da Waner also showed very reluctant expressions.

Of course, Fu Xiaojiu is reluctant to save the family business she has saved so hard, but she knows the cruelty of the war, if this battle really starts, it would be good to be able to save her life, what family business do you need?

Fu Xiaojiu knew that they would definitely not be able to accept such a fact for a while, so he could only comfort them first:

"Dad, mother, eldest brother, second brother, Feizhi, I know that you are reluctant to be here, especially the eldest brother and the second brother, who sold all the family's land and property, and are rushing to settle down in the county, you must feel uncomfortable if we leave like this. But compared to money, life is the most important thing! As long as Qingshan is not afraid of no firewood, even if we change places, we can still live a prosperous life! ”

Fu Xiaojiu's words really had the effect of men and women crying.

After everyone was silent for a moment, Fu Xiaojiu spoke again.

"Actually, you don't have to worry so much about it, it's just the worst-case scenario. I have already told Mrs. Huo about the situation in the county seat. If General Huo can stop these thieves in time and strangle them before they come out, we won't have to move. ”

Wan Da stopped for a long time, suddenly raised his head, stared at his eyes and asked, "Is it possible that we don't have to move?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu said with great certainty: "There is such a possibility." But we also have to prepare for moving today, first wrap all the gold and silver that we can take away from home, and prepare the winter clothes, if we want to leave, we can leave immediately without delay. We also have a horse-drawn carriage at home, so it's easy to walk. ”

Wan Pozi sighed helplessly, "Alas, I never thought that our carriage was used for escape!" ”

Fu Xiaojiu gently patted Wan Pozi's arm and comforted her: "Mother, you have to cheer up, our hot pot shop still has to open as usual!" We can't let people see that our family is running away. The workshop has been closed for two days, and it's time to open, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of the gang against our family. ”

After saying to Mrs. Wan, Fu Xiaojiu said to Wan Da and Wan Er: "Big brother and second brother, when you tell your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, you must appease them and tell them not to worry too much, maybe we don't have to run away." ”

Wan Da and Wan Er had no choice but to nod their heads again and again.

Wan Pozi asked again: "Xiao Jiu, where are we going to escape?" Is the countryside safe? Otherwise, let's hide back home. ”

Fu Xiaojiu shook his head, "The countryside is not safe. If you want me to say, if we hide, we will have to go to Mrs. Huo! Although the border will not be peaceful at that time, under the protection of General Huo, the people will be safe, and Mrs. Huo can help us get rid of the relationship with Li Dalong. ”

"Does the third child know about this?" Wan Pozi asked in a panic.

Fu Xiaojiu replied: "The prime minister already knows about this, but he doesn't know that I plan to flee with my whole family." In two days he will be resting, and when he comes back, it will be too late to tell him about it. ”

Wan Pozi clasped her hands in front of her chest, closed her eyes and muttered, "Heavenly Venerable bless!" Gods bless! It's better not to fight! Either the people will suffer! ”

Fu Xiaojiu's heart is very chaotic, she doesn't want to leave the county town where she finally gained a foothold, Wan Lin still has more than a year to participate in the township exam, and now such a toss will also have an impact on Wan Lin's studies.

What Fu Xiaojiu is looking forward to most now is Mrs. Huo's letter.

She counted the days, if there was no accident, when Wan Lin Xiu Mu came back, Mrs. Huo's reply was almost there.

The night before Wan Lin Xiu Mu came back, Fu Xiaojiu had just laid down, and he heard something at the door of his house, and Fu Xiaojiu was about to put on his clothes and go to the door to listen to the movement, when he suddenly heard a sound of something slamming into the door frame.

Fu Xiaojiu was startled, and immediately pushed open the door and came outside.

There was no one in the courtyard, Fu Xiaojiu hurriedly looked at the door frame, and there was actually a letter pierced by a dart on the door frame!
