The next morning, Huang Ling came over and told Huo Roufeng that when the sky was just dawning, Xie Sicheng left the inn with the four dying people, and buried all four people alive on the wasteland two miles away from the official road.

After Xie Sicheng and his people left, Huang Ling asked people to dig out these four people, only Huang Delu and the young descendant named Du Gang were still alive, and the other two had already died.

These two people were lost and recovered, and Huo Roufeng gave Xiaoye a thumbs up: "Good girl, amazing!" ”

She was able to hand over these four people to Xie Sicheng calmly, and she had already been sure that Xie Sicheng would not make much effort when she saw that these people had no skills to return to heaven, and if she wanted to dispose of a few dying people without leaving a trace, the easiest way was to bury them alive.

Huo Roufeng won the bet.

In addition to the three who were wounded by the knife, Huang Delu was also fed medicine by Xiaoye, so the four people Xie Sicheng saw were all dying.

Huang Ling asked Huang Delu and Du Gang to pour a lot of water, and after half an hour, the two of them excreted the toxins, and Zhang Shengping asked them to put them into four large wooden boxes together with Wang Bo and Ah Yan, and the group went back on the road.

Huo Roufeng rode a horse, Huo Qingzhou sat in a sedan chair, and a day later, Huo Roufeng led her men and horses to catch up with Huo Qingzhou.

On this trip, Huo Qingzhou went to Xuanfu to investigate Zhanhuai's unauthorized dispatch of troops, and walked with the people from the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Fujian, Shandong, Zhejiang, all under the control of the Duke of Min, although the Duke of Min has long handed over the right to appoint and dismiss officials, but the David is still to Zhanjia Ma is the first to look forward, since the Ningbo Wei incident, Zhan Chen took the opportunity to rectify the David, plus in recent years Zhan Huai Pingchao, Zhanjia power has also expanded from the coast to the Central Plains, and even the northwest.

The governor of the Five Military Governor's Mansion is An Pingbo, and An Pingbo's second son, Dong Di, is currently in the position of a thousand households and is subordinate to Weihaiwei.

Weihaiwei has a deputy commander who is Guo Yong's cousin. Guo Yong was killed by Zhan Huai, and he had been dead for a few years, and the deputy commander made life difficult, so he took advantage of the old injury to unload his armor and return to the field. So the seat was vacated.

But who can sit in this position, it only counts if the prince of Fujian is Zhanchen. Although they are both sons of honorable people, one is in Fujian and the other is in Beijing, Dong Di and Zhanchen have no friendship.

Dong Di dug out his thoughts, and finally let Zhan Chen remember him, and urgently sent a letter to his father and brother in the capital, asking them to take advantage of Zhan Huai's time in the capital to move around with Zhan Chen's family, and let Zhan Yu or Zhan Huai say a few good words for him in front of Zhan Chen.

This time, as an official of the Ministry of War, Zou Ge Lao grasped the affairs of Xuanfu, and pulled the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies into the water, and sent people to Xuanfu to investigate together, An Pingbo did not want to interfere, not only because he had a request for the Zhan family, but also because Zhanhuai had just won the victory and returned to the court, if he used his unauthorized dispatch of troops to punish the crime, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction from the government and the opposition, and then the imperial history would be pressed down with a hat that framed a good general, and no one could afford it.

Therefore, the people sent by Qing Pingbo were his two henchmen, and before leaving Beijing, Qing Pingbo told the two that this matter had nothing to do with the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

The military department and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies each have their own ghosts, and the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate know it. Therefore, the errand of coming to Xuanfu will fall on the head of Huo Qingzhou, who is young, has little qualifications, and has a hard background.

Let Huo Qingzhou come to Xuanfu, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate can attack and retreat, which is a clever move.

Huo Qingzhou knew in his heart that he had a tacit understanding with the people of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and it was important to save his life on this trip.

Huo Qingzhou and his party were safe on the road, but Huo Roufeng and the others encountered two small thieves, thinking that the four big boxes they brought were all property, but they were all beaten by the guards.

Huo Roufeng arrived at Xuanfu before Huo Qingzhou, and the Huo family only had a four-hour hall and a restaurant in Xuanfu. The restaurant is also called the champion building, which is the semicolon of the champion building in the capital.

The shopkeeper of the two shops received a letter sent by Mrs. Huo ten days ago, and learned that Mrs. Huo Jiu was coming to Xuanfu, and knowing that she was a woman, she opened up a few rooms in the backyard of the Four Seasons Hall.

Huo Roufeng and his entourage arrived at Xuanfu, and they lived in the Four Seasons Hall, the two shopkeepers had never heard of the Huo family and a nine ladies before, but since it was ordered by Huo Da Niang personally, they did not dare to slack off, and the daily meals were sent by the champion building, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

The next day, Huo Roufeng went to the horse market. There are two Xuanfu horse markets, one is the official market and the other is the private market.

The official market was supervised by the Taifu Temple and undertaken by the Xuanfu Yamen, while the private market was opened by horse dealers.

As early as 30 years ago, this dynasty opened five official cities in Liaodong, Kaiyuan, Guangping, and Xuanfu, and in the early days, it was supervised by the Taifu Temple, and the prefect's yamen and the general military office undertook together, and the three parties supervised each other. But within a few years, several people who supervised the matter in the Xuanfu made a fuss because of the uneven distribution of money, and after that, in fact, only the Taifu Temple and the General Military Mansion were in charge of the official city. Without the prefect's yamen, the people of Taifu Temple did not dare to make a mistake in the face of the general military mansion, so the Xuanfu official city had long been the dominant family of the general military mansion.

After the death of the first emperor, the queen mother was in power, and the supervision of the nine sides was not as good as before, and the Xuanfu General Military Office increased the commission and taxes without authorization, so that the profits of the horse dealers were greatly reduced, but the General Military Office made a lot of money.

After several other places learned about it, they also followed suit, and for a while, whether it was the big horse dealer of the Tartar or the second dealer of the Han people, they all complained bitterly.

Soon, private markets sprung up. There have been many raids in various places, but the trend is that over the years, the private market and the official market still exist at the same time.

Huo Roufeng went to the private market.

After coming to Xuanfu, she was still wearing men's clothes, and it was not until she walked on the streets of Xuanfu that she realized that the customs of Xuanfu and the capital were very different. From time to time, you can see women walking on the streets without hats, and some women can ride horses or lead mules, haggling loudly with the vendors.

Huo Roufeng became interested, walked around the street for an hour, and then went to the private market.

As soon as he entered the private market, there were Tartars wearing Han clothes, dark skin, big faces and high noses, speaking non-fluent Chinese, selling horses to Huo Roufeng. Huo Roufeng looked at it, there were thirty or forty such Tartar vendors, and she secretly wondered that the private market of Xuanfu alone was already on such a scale, and Liaodong, Kaiyuan and Guangping were on par.

Over the years, she only knew that the imperial court was not strict enough in the management of horses, but she knew that it was so chaotic.

The horse dealers of the Tartars can freely travel to and from the important towns of the Nine Sides, and they can mix among the horse dealers and come to the Nine Sides to inquire about the military situation.

The nine-sided town seems to have become a vegetable garden, and anyone who wants to come can come and go.
