Volume 1 Chapter 175 It Turned Out to Be You
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
Xu He, Chen Hua, and Lao Zheng Tou all shouted out together.
If Wang Zhu'er is allowed to kill it, there is really no room for redemption.
At that time, the charge of killing officials and rebelling in the tea field will be completely pressed on everyone, and Xu He's previous efforts will be in vain!
Wang Zhu'er didn't look at Xu He and Chen Hua at all, and said to Lao Zheng Tou with an anxious look on his face: "Uncle, if you don't rush out, it's too late, and we have to explain to the thousands of people here tonight!" ”
Lao Zhengtou's face was distorted, and he was obviously in a dilemma.
Seeing this, Xu He was afraid that things would repeat again, so he took a step forward and said to Wang Zhu'er: "Quick, speed lead me to meet those officers and soldiers!" ”
Wang Zhu'er ignored Xu He, and turned his head to look at Lao Zhengtou.
Xu He was furious: "Quick, hesitate, you are the sinners of the Zhangcha Salt Farm!" ”
Hearing this, Lao Zheng Tou gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind: "Pig, you take Xu Gongzi with you!" ”
Wang Zhu'er shouted in disappointment: "Uncle......"
"Go!" Old Zheng Tou had already made a decision at this time, so he was unmoved.
Seeing this, Wang Zhu'er could only stomp his feet hatefully, and then glared at Xu He.
Time was urgent, Chen Hua didn't say a word, he lay on the table and wrote a letter, and then covered it with the county magistrate and handed it to Xu He: "Xu, Xiaohe, take care!" ”
Xu He reluctantly smiled and comforted: "It's okay!" ”
After saying that, he followed Wang Zhu'er out of the house.
When he came to the house, Xu He looked up at the sky and saw that the dark clouds had obscured the moon, and even if there were torches outside, it would only illuminate the distance of five or six meters.
But in this way, Xu He didn't dare to delay, followed behind Wang Zhu'er, and walked on the dirt road in the countryside.
Wang Zhu'er may be angry that Lao Zheng Tou believes that Xu He, an outsider, never reminds Xu He when he encounters bumps, causing Xu He to fall down several times, and once even rolled into the pond, and the whole person is embarrassed.
But Xu He gritted his teeth, fell down and got up, and followed Wang Zhu'er without complaining.
Wang Zhu'er was a little gloating at first, but when he saw Xu He's style, he was also a little impressed, so he deliberately walked slower so that Xu He could see the light of the torch.
In this way, the two walked towards the outside of the field in the dark.
In fact, in order to facilitate the management of the salt farm, the tea is isolated by guardrails, although these guardrails are not high, but most of them are built above the ditch drawn by the seawater.
On weekdays, there is only the gate of the salt field to enter and exit the tea, which is the place where Xu Dai entered the field that day.
When Xu He and the others came to the gate made of wooden fences, he had already seen a long line of firelight from a distance coming quickly along the road.
Xu He didn't say a word, and stepped out of the wooden gate and walked towards the firelight.
Wang Zhu'er hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and followed.
Xu He walked while looking at the firelight, and roughly counted, the torches looked like about a thousand roots, if the other two places were also of this scale, the officers and soldiers who came were at least about 3,000 people.
can mobilize so many officers and troops, and the magistrate definitely doesn't have the ability, that is to say, this matter has now at least stabbed the Nanzhili Military Department.
Thinking of this section, Xu He's heart sank, the nature of this matter is still difficult to define, if the more yamen are involved, the officials will have different opinions based on interest considerations.
Some people want to press things down, and some people want to expose the problem.
Some people want to use this incident to achieve their goals, and some people want to rely on this incident to get promoted and make a fortune.
But in any case, the more people know, the more people who know, the more people there are, and the risk increases exponentially.
Just when Xu He was worried, on the dirt slope two miles away from the tea field, a general wearing a phoenix-winged forehead helmet and a mouth-swallowing beast metal armor was looking at the map on a stone mill outside a deserted thatched hermitage.
There is a tall ginkgo tree standing next to him in the courtyard, and at the door stands a group of neatly dressed and armored soldiers, all of whom are burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, like the stone carvings of the king and the wrestler in the Longmen Grottoes.
One of them was holding a white horse in one hand and a large red flag in the other.
This large flag carries a banner tassel made of snow-white horsehair and a silver spear with a white light, and the center of the flag is embroidered with a large [Chen] character in black satin.
"Report!" In the quiet environment, suddenly a herald flew into the courtyard from outside, and saw that he had not yet breathed and said to the general in the courtyard: "The other two roads are in place, just wait for the adults to kill in the tea field as soon as the cannon sounds!" ”
The general didn't look up, still looking at the map, and said, "Is there any movement in the field?" ”
"Before we lit the torches, there was already a commotion in the field, and the torches passed through the field, apparently knowing that the army had arrived!"
The general nodded and said, "Did the rear team follow?" ”
"Keep up!"
As soon as the herald's words fell, another soldier rushed in: "Tell your lordship, two people came out of the field, saying that they want to see your lord!" ”
The general was obviously stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that there would be people in the tea field who dared to see him at this juncture.
At this time, a man dressed as a military general came out of the house, he held water in his hand, handed it to the general, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I'm here to ask for surrender!" ”
The general was noncommittal and said to the herald who had just entered: "Go, bring the people!" ”
After a while, Xu He and Wang Zhu'er were led into the small courtyard.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu He saw a young man in his early thirties, wearing armor and gasping for a new blue satin coat, in order to take off the upcoming battle, the button on the neckline of the big hat was unbuttoned by the man in two.
Before the big man got on his body, Xu He found that the other party was carrying a bow diagonally on his back, a sword and a black and red cowhide quiver hanging from his waist, and more than a dozen carved feather arrows were inserted in it.
The man asked lightly while wearing his own coat, "Who are you?" What is the matter with my Chinese army? ”
Xu He bowed and said, "The student brought a letter from Chen Hua, the county magistrate of Hailing County, and I came to hand it to the adults!" ”
The man nodded and motioned for Xu He to take it out.
After a while, he took the letter handed over by his own soldiers and read it, and after reading it, he said quietly: "Where is the Chen County Order?" ”
Xu He hurriedly said: "In the home of the original ambassador Dou Matong, it is very safe!" ”
The man followed the light of the torch on the map for a moment, then used the horsewhip in his hand to point a point in the map, and then said to another general wearing armor beside him: "You take a team of people to go directly to the Dou family and find out the county order. ”
The general smiled and nodded, and turned to go out.
Xu He was anxious: "General, Chen Xianling has no worries about his life, he may listen to me!" ”
The general suddenly said with a cold face: "Who are you, I was ordered by the imperial court to exterminate the people in the tea field who killed the officials and rebelled, how could I believe your one-sided words of the person who came out of the thief's nest?" Someone! Roll them down and look! ”
Wang Zhu'er was shocked when he heard this, and when he saw that an official army was pressing on his shoulder, he struggled frantically, and shouted: "Dog official, don't die well!" ”
Xu He was in a hurry, and hurriedly said loudly: "General, the student is not from the tea field, the student is from the Xu family in Hailing, and he is here to ...... this time."
As soon as the general heard that Xu He belonged to the Hailing Xu family, he immediately waved his hand and motioned to those soldiers to wait, he came to Xu He, looked Xu He up and down, and asked, "What's your name?" ”
Xu He said: "Student Xu He! ”
The general was surprised: "You are Xu He?" The Hailing Xu He who was the head of the county test and the government test? ”
Xu He looked at him blankly and said, "It's just below, I don't know if the adult is ......"
The general laughed and said, "It's you, quick, let them go!" ”
