Seeing that they didn't bring back their youngest son, Mrs. Xu suddenly burst into tears and asked in a choked voice, "Why didn't you bring Changsheng back?" He was weak, how could he live in that cell, and now he was afraid that he was coughing there again. Still, I don't know if I can get through it? Isn't the guy surnamed Jia just greedy for a few dollars, let's just give it to him. ”

"Mother."

The eldest son of the Xu family also looked solemn, shook his head and said: "The situation is not so simple, we are not the only ones in this Luodu City and even the surrounding areas of our Xu family, and other people with names and surnames have also been arrested by the Najia County Order." ”

"I don't care!"

Mrs. Xu tugged at her master's sleeve and cried: "I'm just a woman, I don't understand your twists and turns, but Changsheng really can't stand the disaster of prison, you hurry up and rescue him!" I don't believe that Changsheng will kill people, and I can't even bear to punish my subordinates for not taking care of him, and I have never stepped into a restaurant in my life, and I have never drunk a drop of alcohol. ”

"It doesn't matter whether Changsheng kills people or not."

Old Man Xu seemed to have aged many years overnight, his white hair was coming out, his eyes were still burning, and his voice was low and dry but as steady as Mount Tai, "There is a big official from Kyoto standing behind the Jia County Order, and if he dares to deal with us people so blatantly at the same time, he must have been instructed by that person, and it is definitely not enough to spend some money to finish the matter." ”

"Hui Niang, help your mother back to the yard."

"If I can't see Changsheng, I won't go back!"

Mrs. Xu walked out directly, crying and saying, "If you don't go to save Changsheng, I'll go." It's a big deal to accompany Changsheng to a big prison, so as not to prevent Changsheng from dying of illness in the cell alone. ”

"I've already asked people to invite the masters of the family to come over and discuss, so don't make a mess here. This morning, someone found that the water level of Luoshui had dropped suddenly, and the little guy who had just been sent out to inquire about the situation came back and said that the water level had returned to normal, which showed that Chuancheng was defending. ”

When he said this, Master Xu's face was not happy, but became more solemn.

Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "This, isn't this a good thing?" If the city of Sichuan is defended, the 400,000 people of the city of Sichuan will also save their lives, Cui Taishou is really a good person! ”

Although she was worried about her young son, she was still happy for the people of Chuancheng when she heard the news of the defense of Chuancheng, but after this joy was a deeper sadness, thinking that Changsheng was worried about the situation in Luoshui every day before, and learned that the county order drove all the people in the villages and towns near Luoshui to Luoshui, and she was so anxious that she ran back to the yamen to ask the county order to allow refugees to enter the city.

He, a boy who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, naturally couldn't see the county order, and finally went to the ferry to spend money to let people row boats to save refugees, a drop in the bucket, how to save tens of thousands of people, and barely saved so many dozen people under the needle in the haystack. It rained heavily in those days, and I fell ill in this anxious and sad situation.

finally raised the same, the child secretly went out to see the situation in Luoshui yesterday, and this look saw that he was in the prison cell of the county government, and it was also fate!

Master Xu's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "It's good for Cui Taishou to guard people, but in this case, he and Xun Chang and others alone will definitely not be able to hold Sichuan City, and there must be other capable people interfering in this." Chuancheng is now saved, but the adult from Kyoto will not stop there, but he is afraid that he will have to make a move, and at this time, you must not mess around, let alone go to the county office. ”

Seeing Mrs. Xu's teary eyes, she couldn't bear it, and said with relief, "There is no worry about the life of the child for the time being, as you said, what Jia County wants is food and money, not the lives of our families." ”

Mrs. Xu's face was just better, and she heard her master sigh.

The eyes that were still full of tears looked puzzled, and the skin of his mouth moved, "Isn't it asking for money?" Me, my dowry is all for you to dredge up the relationship, right? ”

Master Xu shook his head, "If that's just the case, I would have brought Sheng'er back a long time ago when I came back." The Naga Prefectural Order, or the lord in Kyoto, wants more than human life, not a little food and silver can be sent, they are more vicious than jackals, and what they want is all the property that we people have accumulated for several lifetimes! ”

Mrs. Xu suddenly fell to the ground with weak legs.

was also frightened by this news, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family reacted a little slower, and only came back to her senses after Mrs. Xu fell, and hurriedly went to help with a white face, but she herself trembled badly.

"Don't be afraid."

The eldest man of the Xu family helped his mother and gently patted his wife's hand.

Then he said to Master Xu: "Father, I plan to go to Chuancheng to talk about the situation, if Cui Taishou and others have no accident, then it is definitely not Jiang Mao and Xun County Ling who want to help Chuancheng survive this disaster. ”

"Regardless of whether the person who interfered in the affairs of Sichuan City left Cui Taishou or not, it is an indisputable fact that he saved 400,000 people in Sichuan City, and it is by no means comparable to a traitor like Jiang Mao. I just don't know how much people can be accommodated, and who is the mysterious person? It's good for you to go and find out, stay safe. ”

After Mr. Xu hurriedly explained a few words, he immediately walked to the study.

He made an appointment to meet with people in other mansions to talk about things, and at this time he didn't shy away from Jia County's order at all, and directly invited people to his home, anyway, Najia County Commander and others had already torn their faces and bluntly asked them to take out all the food and silver, which can be said to be completely indifferent to them.

But there are still 3,000 nails in this broken ship!

These well-known people in Luodu City have a history of nearly a hundred years, if it weren't for Jiang Mao's sudden and direct killing of the original county order, how could they have tried their best to keep it. In recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have occurred, but Luodu City has been able to be quite stable, and it has been governed by county orders, and the people in the city have survived the difficulties together.

Now where can the street gangster-born scoundrel surnamed Jia be bullied to death.

"It's a big deal! The surname Jia is a villain, and the identity of a talent is to let the Jiang master from Kyoto be promoted to become a county magistrate, and there is no great merit, where can a normal person do it, it can be seen that the surname Jiang is not a good thing. We might as well do the opposite, anyway, the court doesn't care about everyone's life or death. ”

"Yes, the people on both sides of the Luoshui River are basically dead! It is said that it is to control the flood, but the floodgates will be opened to discharge the flood, which is also thanks to the great protection of the life of Chuancheng, otherwise more people will die. ”

"It's not our idea to arrest the juniors in our family and lock them up now."

"No, we can't sit still."

……

Almost all the people in Luodu City gathered in Master Xu's mansion to discuss what to do.

"Sir! Oh no......"

Just as he was about to make up his mind to make a joint protest, the porter hurriedly ran in and said that Jia Xianling had brought the Jiang from Kyoto over and asked the guards to surround the mansion.
