Volume 1 Chapter 72 Burned Out
Last night's battle, everyone has countless questions waiting to be answered at this time.
Among them, the only one who knows the cause and effect of the incident best is Xu He.
"Xiaohe, you start talking about it yesterday, and tell you about it again!" Xie Kun said.
Xu He started talking about his aunt's serious illness and his going to Dong'an with Xie Liangcai, Xu Peng, Xiao Er and others.
First frightened birds in the middle of the night, and then encountered salt boats.
After Xie Bin took the soldiers away, the thieves burned all the way from the north of Rugao.
Then Xu He said that he took his aunt and others to hide in the sandbar, and how to lure away the thieves and kill them in the sandbar.
Of course, here he did not mention the matter of Feng Xiaozhu.
In these years, once a woman is involved with a thief, no matter what happens, gossip will definitely rise without wind, this kind of thing that ruins the woman's name, Xu He will definitely not do it.
So he could only count all three thieves on his head.
When everyone heard that Xu He, a young scholar who had just become a young man, was able to slash three thieves, they all looked incredulous.
But when I think about it, this kid is full of wisdom and relief.
Then Xu He said his analysis, since the thief came from the seaside, it was definitely impossible for the salt ship to be loaded with salt.
Then he heard the thief mention Baoba, so he suspected that the real target of the thief was actually tax silver.
Then let Xu Peng take the sword given by Lu Yun to Rugao to move the rescue soldiers, Xiaohu Baihu repelled the thieves of the laboratory at the most critical time, and finally the thieves escaped.
Xu He said the whole thing as unremarkable, as if he was telling about what happened to someone else.
But in the ears of Li Zhijie, Zhang Jingxian and other Hailing officials, they felt a little afraid.
If it weren't for Xu He, everyone would have been trapped in Hailing City tonight and couldn't move.
The thieves will also swagger away after robbing the tax money.
At that time, Zhang Jingxian and Li Zhijie, who have just taken office, will be in big trouble!
Li Zhijie stepped forward and patted Xu He's shoulder: "Xiaohe, I'm glad to have you as a student!" ”
Zhang Jingxian wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and also stepped forward to Xu He and said, "This official will play for you." ”
When the two spoke, their eyes were grateful, especially Li Zhijie.
Although Zhang Jingxian is preparing for the army, after all, he has just taken office, and he has not even recognized all the people under him, so the court will reprimand him at most.
But he Li Zhijie is different.
He was originally a second-class jinshi, and after the museum was disbanded, he was released to the state and county, and after the three-year examination, he could be transferred to a better state and county as an official with excellent political performance, or the official was promoted to become a Tongzhi of Sanzhou.
But if something goes wrong in Hailing this time, or the tax money is robbed, then his best result is to ruin most of his political career in Hailing County, and it is not impossible to even demote and reprimand.
So this student can be said to have saved his political life with his own hands, do you think he can not be moved!
"Little crane! For the teacher...... The greatest luck for a teacher is to accept you as a student! The county lord actually choked up a little in his tone.
The more dignitary he was in front of people, Xu He knew that the more low-key he was, so he hurriedly said to Zhang and Li: "Two adults, Xu He just happened to be at the meeting, and he should not be praised by the two adults." ”
Ju Gong is not arrogant, and everyone present feels that Xu He has the style of a humble gentleman.
"That's right! Xiaohe, just now when I went out of the city, I happened to meet your uncle, Xiao Shigong took the Xu family into the city for refuge, and he also asked me to tell you after seeing you that your mother is safe and sound, and he took him to the Xu Mansion in the city to live temporarily! Li Zhijie said.
Xu He was overjoyed when he heard this, and his mother was safe and sound.
I was worried just now, afraid that my mother had been killed, but I didn't expect to be with a big clan.
A heart was put back in his stomach, and Xu He thought of two more things.
"Uncle, when I came, I had already asked Hou Langzhong to treat my aunt, and my aunt's condition seems to be improving! Two cousins are taking their aunt and uncle to take refuge by boat! ”
Xie Bin was overjoyed when he heard this, his wife was seriously ill, and the most important thing was that he had no money to buy medicine, but he didn't expect his nephew to go, so he invited Lang Zhong, and his wife's condition improved.
I just repelled the bandits here, and I got the news that my wife's condition is improving, which is a double happiness.
"I'll go back to them right away!" Xie Bin couldn't wait.
Li Xianling just heard that his subordinates have an inspector who does not retreat in danger and regards death as home, he never thought that this inspection is still his disciple's uncle, and he is even happier with Aiwu and Wuxia, he patted Xie Bin's arm and comforted: "Xie Patrol's merits will be reported truthfully!" There is also money for consolation in the county. Inspect and go back to Dong'an Ji to find your family and clean up the place, and there will be a reward to be sent to Dong'an Ji in the coming day! ”
"Xiaguan has thanked the county lord!" Xie Bin put on a whole robe, hugged his fists and bowed, and after finishing speaking, he rode on his horse and took his subordinates back to Dong'anji.
"That's right!" Xu He turned his head to look at Xiaohu Baihu: "Lord Baihu, what about your messenger?" ”
Xiao Hu Baihu hurriedly said: "I don't dare to call myself an adult in front of my benefactor, but after the strong man followed us to Dong'anji, he said that he was going to find the relatives of the inspector, so he separated from us there!" ”
Xu He nodded when he heard this, and said in his heart: "Brother Peng is still very reliable in doing things. Knowing that it's useless to follow, it's better to take care of your uncle's family! ”
Although the thieves retreated, there are still many things that need to be dealt with.
Xie Kun arranged for people to go to the sentry in the direction of the thieves' retreat, and the others returned to the city to settle the wounded.
At this time, Bao Ba only left Li Zhijie, Zhang Jingxian, Xie Kun and Xu He and others.
After everyone left, Xie Kun's face sank: "What the hundred households said just now, did the two adults hear it?" ”
Zhang Jingxian frowned and said, "The bandits actually colluded with the Japanese bandits? It's not that simple! ”
He is the Huaiyang Coastal Defense Dao, and the imperial court has just established this position to guard against the increasingly fierce evil.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took office, he encountered the collusion of local bandits with the Japanese bandits, which was not good news for him.
The key is that there is too little information now, and I don't know how many Japanese bandits there are in that gang of bandits, in case the Japanese who just committed suicide in the examination center is only one of them, then for Zhang Jingxian, the future days will be enough for him to bear.
"Also, although the salt tax was not taken away by the thieves, the place where the roots were stored was burned. This matter is not big, it is not small, if the salt patrol envoy is more serious, all the people of the salt division yamen will follow and eat! Zhang Jingxian sighed.
As soon as the words fell, three people rushed out of the Baoba Salt Inspection Institute.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Thanks to the help of all the adults, the laboratory was able to save it! ”
It was a fat man who was the leader of the three.
Zhang Jingxian recognized this person as Xue Tongzhi of the Yangzhou Mansion, and he, the secretary of the inspection envoy, and Tongzhi were both five-grade officials.
But Xue Tongzhi came up and made a big gift to him and Li Zhijie of the seventh grade, obviously not only because of the grace that had just saved his life.
Sure enough, in the next second, Xue Tongzhi cried and said: "Everyone, you have all seen it just now, this official has been holding on to the dock fort with salt soldiers for so long, in case the court is guilty, you have to say two fair words to someone Xue!" ”
Li Zhijie stepped forward and comforted: "Lord Xue, you have defended properly, the tax silver has not been robbed, there is no merit!" ”
Xue Tongzhi was worried: "The root has been burned!" It's burned out! ”
"What? Burned out? The crowd was amazed.
