Zhang Jingxian was crazy, he felt that Hailing was a place where feng shui restrained him.

The last time the bandits attacked the city, he could still use the responsibility he had just taken office to get rid of responsibility, but today he received a tip early in the morning.

It is said that the stove Ding killed officials in the ten fields of Huaizhong and rebelled, and all the ambassadors and deputy envoys in the ten fields, except for those who were not present, were all killed by this mob.

Originally, this matter was a matter of the Yamen of the Salt Division, but now the two Huai Salt Divisions have transferred envoys, Tongzhi, and judges because of the party dispute in the imperial court, and no one has yet been appointed.

At this juncture, the informant also said that this group of stove Ding was gathering manpower in various fields to contact the bandit Lei Jun of Jiangyanpu earlier.

Zhang Jingxian, who heard the news, was completely panicked, if Lei Jun was allowed to resurrect, once the imperial court learned about it, then he, the coastal defense army, would inevitably be detained as a bandit.

Soon after Zhang Jingxian got the news, several fast horses with 100,000 anxious flags rushed into Hailing City.

Hailing County ordered Chen Hua to take the letter from the hand of the messenger, and when he saw it, his dark face became even darker.

It turned out that these letters were sent by Yancheng Zhixian, Rugao Zhixian and Tongzhou Zhizhou, and they coincidentally used 100,000 yuan to urgently deliver the letters, just because the surrounding salt fields were all in chaos, completely chaotic.

From the Linhong Field near Haizhou to the Jinsha Field in Haimen County, the cooks destroyed the brine pond, destroyed the salt pan, boiled the stove, and even killed all the field ambassadors and stove managers in Dongtai, Anfeng, Fu'an, Zhangcha and other places.

Chen Hua thought of what Xu He said when he came to the county government a few days ago, and scolded hatefully: "These bastard squires who are in cahoots with the eunuchs!" ”

Although he cursed in his mouth, he had already walked out of the second hall quickly and began to gather people.

In the Kong Huai Hall of the Xu family, the originally solemn and solemn compound was staggered at this time, because the eldest brother Xu Song did not like it, and the family music troupe that had not performed for a long time also appeared again, standing under the eaves of the corridor under the three big characters of Kong Huai Tang babbling and singing.

The elders of the Xu family present shook their heads leisurely, tapped their fingers on the legs with the beat of the small drum.

"Changyue has been working hard these days, everyone don't listen to the music, come, let's toast Changyue together!" One of the patriarchs, who was over seventy years old, trembled and stood up with the support of the maid, and raised his wine glass to Xu Dai.

Seeing this, Xu Dai laughed, stood up and said: "Shengyuan Gong, politely, our clan should help each other, and everyone can earn money together!" ”

Shengyuan's public name is Xu Wen, and he is a person from Xu Dai's grandfather Xu Kui's generation, even if he saw Xu Song's father Xu Fan before, he also shouted [Xuanzhi] with a big grin.

Everyone stood up when they heard this, and said with a flattering smile on their faces: "Changyue, you have been in charge of clan affairs all these years, and it has really worked hard!" ”

"That is, this time someone from our Xu family has gone out to be an official, and the family has made another entry, which is really a good thing for double happiness!"

"If you want me to say that Dafang's health is not very good, and Erfang is so capable, in the future, the position of this patriarch will be handed over to Changyue!" It was proposed.

As soon as these words came out, except for a few people who were bored drinking and eating vegetables, they all nodded again and again.

"That's it, if I want to say that the big house should have given way a long time ago!"

"But it's not, I wanted to go to Jinling with Dafang to ask for a post to find Nanjing Taifu Temple to exchange some horses, but Lian didn't want to see me, so he swept me out of the house, hey, what's this called, am I still the Xu family?"

Xu Dai saw that the more people talked, the more unkind they became, he coughed lightly and said, "Clan elders, you ......."

When the crowd saw him speak, their voices gradually subsided.

Xu Dai continued: "Everyone, my eldest brother is sick on the bed, and I have no choice but to provoke the important task of the Xu family, thanks to you for not giving up, let's work together and complete the things arranged in the palace well, and when the eldest brother is good in the future, I hope everyone will still listen to my eldest brother and continue to inherit and develop the Xu family!" ”

Everyone nodded again and again when they heard this, but everyone present knew that the so-called listening to Xu Song was pure, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xu Song's days were not long, and his son was in the shade outside, and sooner or later the words in the family would fall on Xu Dai, even if he would go out as an official in the future, most of the things in the family would fall on Xu Luan's kid.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a person walked in from the outside, and that person saw that it was the person Xu Dai arranged to be in charge of liaison with the Dou family in the tea field.

Seeing this, Xu Dai's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly got up and beckoned the man into the hall.

The sound of gongs and drums in Knorr was still noisy, but everyone was not interested in listening to the music at the moment, and they all hooked their heads to look into the hall.

Xu Luan followed his father to Kong Huai Hall, only to see the man kneeling under the hall and talking to his father.

"Master, Chief Dou Chang has been killed by the stove Ding, all the stoves and armor chiefs have been killed, and their corpses have been inserted upside down on the beach, one by one, like a fence, and the corpses have been inserted for a whole mile!"

Xu Dai was taken aback when he heard this: "What did you say?" ”

Who knew that his son was even more excited than Xu Dai, Xu Luan grabbed the person who came and asked sharply, "What about the government?" Did the government send troops to suppress it? ”

The person who came trembled and said: "I haven't seen any officers and soldiers to play before the little one came!" ”

Xu Luan was stunned, his eyes were empty and he didn't know what he was thinking.

And Xu Dai sat down on the chair and muttered, "What should I do?" What to do? ”

I don't know how long it took, Xu Luan gritted his teeth and turned around to go out: "I'll go find Mr. Tingyang." ”

Xu Dai looked at his son blankly, not knowing whether to stop him.

He knew that a eunuch had been ordered by a secret order, and if things went well, then everything would be fine.

But if things don't go well, the eunuchs, who have no soldiers and no power, and are excluded by the civilian officials in the local area, feel that they can't suppress the riots of these untouchables.

Even, if the civil officials make a fuss, he, the second master of the Xu family, who is running for him, is likely to become the person who the emperor and You Xiao took out to fight the thunder.

And the two Huai salt industry, millions of living beings, if it is because of his own chaos, his head will be cut ten times by the imperial court, which is not enough for others to cut off.

Thinking of this, he felt a chill on his face, and couldn't help but regret why he didn't listen to Xu He's words in the first place.

Thinking about it this way, the eldest brother has long known that Xu He, a young man, is resourceful and decisive......

"Yes, yes, yes! Big brother, hurry up and find the big brother at this time, only the big brother has a way to calm this matter! Xu Dai got up from his chair and hurriedly walked out.

As soon as he walked out of Kong Huai Hall, the clan elders in the courtyard were still eating and drinking, and the scene of being happy just now fell into Xu Dai's eyes so absurd.

Patriarch Xu Wen smiled and said, "Changyue, come, sit down and have a drink with the old man, what about the drums?" Don't stop! ”

Xu Dai couldn't help but feel sick in his heart when he saw that the old bones were dry and his arms stretched out from the mound were wrapped around the maid.

I was actually mixed up with these people, I was really looking for death!
