Chapter 442: Bandits

After shopping in the private market, Huo Roufeng went to the official market again. After seeing the private market, Huo Roufeng didn't expect the official market to be in order, but it was still beyond her expectations, and the official market was even more chaotic than she imagined.

Two petty officials in official uniforms were insulting a horse dealer, and the horse dealer was so angry that he said that he had given silver to a certain official a few days ago, and it was not their turn to take care of the two sesame mung bean officials.

Huo Roufeng was dumbfounded when she heard it, can this kind of thing be shouted out in public?

But it was very useful, and when the two officials heard about it, they stopped scolding, turned around and went to another house.

Huo Roufeng walked around the official market, and it was already evening when she returned to the Four Seasons Hall.

She asked, "Did Lord Huo send someone over?" ”

She rode a horse, Huo Qingzhou sat in a sedan chair, she was a day's faster than Huo Qingzhou, originally thought that Huo Qingzhou and the people from the military department and the five armies should be able to reach Xuanfu today, but I didn't expect that this hour had not yet arrived.

There were already fast and slow hurries, but Huo Roufeng didn't care.

In the next two days, she asked the shopkeeper Xiao of the Zhuangyuan Building to come forward, set up a table of banquets in the Zhuangyuan Building, and invited more than a dozen second- and third-rate horse dealers.

Among these people, there are Tartars and Han Chinese, they are not the biggest, and they are just enough to make ends meet.

The shopkeeper Xiao of the champion building has been in the Xuanfu for many years and has a wide range of contacts, so it is very strange for him, he asked Huo Roufeng: "Jiu Niangzi, why do you want to invite these people, you are interested in the horse business, I can invite those big horse dealers over, you don't have to do business with them." ”

Huo Roufeng smiled and said nothing, Shopkeeper Xiao didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this Nine Lady, seeing that she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he didn't say much to her, and he thought that he was the same as Huo Jiuye, who had never met, just a child who loved to waste money.

Mrs. Huo didn't care, of course, it wasn't his turn to feel distressed.

Shopkeeper Xiao just invited everyone over, and he didn't have to ask about other things.

Huo Roufeng took Xiao Ye and Zhang Ting to chat with those horse dealers for two hours, and Shopkeeper Xiao didn't know what they said, but when he saw those horse dealers coming out, they were all in good spirits, as happy as if they had picked up money.

Shopkeeper Xiao sighed secretly, if it was him who came to do business with a little girl like Huo Jiuniang who didn't know anything, he was also happy.

Back at the Four Seasons Hall, Huo Roufeng asked again: "Has Lord Huo sent someone here?" ”

The answer is still no.

It was only then that Huo Roufeng felt that something was wrong.

Although the sedan chair is relatively slow, it will not be a full two days of slow steps, not to mention that she and Huo Qingzhou also met in the last town, and the brother and sister drank a little wine in the restaurant.

Therefore, it is impossible for Huo Qingzhou and them to have not arrived at Xuanfu yet.

Huo Roufeng immediately sent people to the official post and the prefect's yamen to inquire, and sure enough, these two places had already received documents, knowing that the imperial court would send officials to the Xuanfu in the near future, but they never saw anyone coming.

Huo Roufeng did not delay, and as soon as the city gate opened the next morning, she sent Zhang Shengping and several other guards out of the city to find it.

It was only in the afternoon that one of the guards came back to report that they had found the people of the imperial court, and that they had encountered bandits in a place where there was no shop in front of the village. Lord Xiao Huo was safe and sound, and the people from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies were slightly injured, but the two officials sent by the Ministry of War were all seriously injured, and half of the entourages who came with them died.

Zhang Shengping and the others relied on rut marks, and finally found the small village where they were temporarily hiding, because they were worried about encountering bandits again, Huo Qingzhou took everyone to hide in the village.

Worried about Huo Roufeng's thoughts, Zhang Shengping sent a guard to deliver the letter, and asked Huo Jiu Niangzi to send a doctor over to help treat him.

At four o'clock, there was a hall doctor in the hall, and the medicinal materials were also ready-made, Huo Roufeng asked the doctor to follow the guards out of the city, and it was not until noon the next day that Huo Qingzhou entered the Xuanfu with the injured person.

The people in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies were all slightly injured and were fine, and they were fine after letting the doctor bandage them. However, the two men in the military department were seriously injured, but fortunately, they were treated in time and their lives were saved, but they had to recuperate for two or three months.

Huo Qingzhou persuaded each other bitterly, telling them that if they returned to Beijing now, their bodies would definitely not be able to bear it, so the two of them gave up, but they asked someone to write a letter to Zou Ge Lao to inform them of the bandits they encountered.

Huo Roufeng saw that Huo Qingzhou was unharmed, and she already knew it, she called Huo Qingzhou to the Four Seasons Hall, and she asked, "Are you really the bandits you encountered?" ”

Huo Qingzhou laughed and said, "In the nine-sided town, there are only soldiers, how can there be bandits." ”

Huo Roufeng sneered: "You're embarrassed to laugh, it's not time for you to count down people all day." ”

finally escaped, but was scolded by his sister for no reason, Huo Qingzhou was not stupid, he immediately guessed what was going on.

"Zhanhuai, this insidious and cunning guy, actually used this kind of subordinate means to make people pretend to be bandits to attack the court officials, and he was justified in sending troops without authorization at the prisoner ceremony, but now he is doing this kind of thing, which is not fair at all."

Huo Roufeng snorted and said, "Soldiers are not tired of cheating, haven't you heard of it?" Instead of letting Zhanhuai and the people from the military department fight hard, it is better to pretend to be bandits and shake you people back, I think Xiao Zhan is taking the right step. ”

Huo Qingzhou turned his face away and didn't look at his sister, of course he knew that this step was right, not only right, but also very ingenious, but he didn't want to admit that Zhanhuai did a good job.

Zhan Huai, this little villain, wait for him to return to the capital.

Huo Roufeng saw that Huo Qingzhou stopped talking, poured a cup of tea with her own hands, and held it in front of Huo Qingzhou: "Brother, you have worked hard." ”

Just this sentence, Huo Qingzhou's heart softened into a puddle of water, he took the tea and drank a few sips, and said to his sister with a smile: "How is the matter in the horse market?" Those tartars all smell bad, do they smoke you? ”

Huo Roufeng shook his head: "No, by the way, brother, you can teach me a few words of Tatar language." ”

So that day, Huo Qingzhou had been teaching Huo Roufeng to speak Tatar dialect, and I don't know if it was an innate talent, but in just one afternoon, Huo Roufeng could speak twenty or thirty words of Tatar dialect that were not very standard.

Huo Qingzhou said with a smile: "Besides myself, you are the second person I have ever seen who learns Fan language the fastest." ”

Huo Roufeng was very proud, and the next day, Huo Qingzhou went to the official post to visit the injured officials, and Huo Roufeng took people and followed several horse dealers that day out of the city to see where they were tuning horses.

In the next few days, the brother and sister were busy with each other, and there was no chance to meet again, and by the time Huo Roufeng was free, the two military officials had already received an urgent letter from Zou Gelao.
