In the evening of the next day, a messenger sent by Zhang Jingxian came to Zhangcha.

It is said that this time they attacked Liang Duo overnight, because Wang Zhu'er led the way, and did not conflict with Liang Duo's stove soldiers on the way.

When they went straight to the hiding place of the thief Lei Jun, they captured the leader of the thieves who broke through Taixing County on the spot.

"Captured?" Xu He looked at the visitor and frowned and asked.

The person who came confirmed to Xu He and Chen Hua: "Capture alive." ”

Xu He nodded and continued to ask if the White Lotus Sect Demon Maiden had been caught, but who knew that the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect had slipped away with two subordinates as early as after the army passed through Liang Duo for the first time.

Chen Hua said regretfully: "Slipped away? ”

The visitor nodded and said to Xu He: "Lord Zhang asked how is the situation of Zhangcha and other salt farms?" ”

Xu He said to the visitor: "Please return to Lord Zhang, just say that the salt production has been resumed, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, as for other salt farms, they also sent people to inform them, since the imperial court already knows where the bandit leaders are, they no longer need to be on guard day and night, and soon the two Huai salt farms can be stable!" ”

The person who came nodded, and after making a gesture, he was ready to retreat and go back to tell Zhang Jingxian about the situation here.

Who knew that Xu He stopped him, hesitated again and said to him: "You confirm with Lord Zhang again, the leader of the bandits has indeed been captured?" ”

The person who came looked at Xu He with strange eyes, and just wanted to speak, he was stopped by Xu He: "Go ahead, bring my words to Master Zhang as they are, don't say a word!" ”

The visitor left in confusion.

Chen Hua was curious: "What did you mean by what you just said?" ”

Xu He smiled and did not answer.

Earlier, Ding Erxiao, who followed Chen Hua's subordinates to the post station to deliver the book, had already returned.

After another two days, the situation gradually subsided.

Xu He saw that Zhang Jingxian and Chen Yingzhao had returned to the army, and the salt fields, except for Liang Duo, were gradually calming down, so he and Chen Hua found Lao Zheng Tou and said goodbye.

In the past two days, Lao Zheng Tou did not let Xu He be idle, while finding craftsmen to make water trucks and windmills, and at the same time asking Xu He to guide the production of brine wells and brine ponds.

In fact, it's okay to let Xu He move his mouth, and when he really takes action, he still hides aside and tries to listen to the professional opinions of those masters.

When everyone saw that he didn't speak, they thought that he was not arrogant, humble and polite, and for a while, everyone in Zhangcha had a great impression of this strange scholar who knew astronomy and geography.

Including Ding Erxiao and Wang Zhu'er, who has always been at odds with Xu He, these young people are even more impressed by Xu He.

As for Xu He, he really can't say what he has been saying in the past two days, on the one hand, he has to put on an image of a secretive master, and on the other hand, he has to make others feel that he is amiable, which is a bit difficult and challenging.

When Lao Zheng heard that Chen Hua and Xu He were leaving, he persuaded him in every possible way.

Especially Xu He: "Young Master Xu, Master Chen has an official body, and he can't leave Hailing for a long time, and you're fine, why don't you stay with us for a few more days?" ”

Xu He smiled bitterly, where is he okay?

After being away from home for so long, it is estimated that everyone in the Xu family has become ants on the hot pot, waiting to hear his quasi-letter!

Lao Zheng couldn't persuade him, so he had no choice but to send Ding Erxiao and Wang Zhu'er to escort them back.

In fact, Xu He and Chen Hua both have an entourage to follow, where do they need to escort them, but after all, this is a piece of people's hearts, and they have no choice but to respond.

When the two converged with Xu Peng and others to the shore where they were captured, thousands of salt households from the tea field helped the old and the young to see them off.

Xu Yong saw this scene and sighed: "When I came, there were so many people, and when I left, there were so many people, these days are really like living in a dream." ”

Although those old people, children, and stove cooks were in rags, they already knew at this moment that these people in front of them were really on the side of the poor people.

Some people took the little grain left in the house to make bread, and some people clutched the eggs that the hens had just laid this morning......

"Lord Chen, you are a good official!"

"Lord Chen, you can eat these things on the way!"

"Lord Chen, if it weren't for you, we would have suffered a lot!"

Almost all of the crowd said goodbye to Chen Hua.

In the simple cognition of these cooks, Chen Hua, the official master, helped them through this difficulty.

Xu Gongzi is a good person, and he knows what salt drying methods are, but after all, the only one who can make the army retreat is Lord Chen, who is also an official.

So eight or nine out of ten people came to see off Chen Hua.

Chen Hua is also a person who doesn't know in his heart, and when he sees this scene, he can't wait to make an oath on the spot that he will live and die with the stove masters and never get tired of it.

Fortunately, there are still people in the crowd who know the role Xu He played in this matter.

For example, Lao Zheng Tou.

"Xu Gongzi, come back next time!"

"......" shriveled next time, this place is an endless sea in addition to the brine pond, what are you doing? Coming to the waves?

After bidding farewell to Zhangcha, the ship went all the way to the north, then to the west, and finally entered Hailing before closing the city gate.

As soon as he arrived home, Xu He's buttocks had not yet sat down, so Xu Yong came to the door in person and said, "Young Master He, the eldest master is invited!" ”

This old boy, who didn't raise his eyes when he saw him before, now calls himself Young Master He?

Suddenly, Xu He was pleasantly surprised: "What did you say?" Big man? Uncle woke up? ”

Xu Yong was also very happy, he nodded and said, "Yes, the eldest master woke up two days ago!" ”

Xu He immediately put on the shoes he had just taken off and walked out the door.

Seeing this, Xie Shi, who was preparing dinner with the old Jia's family, said loudly: "He'er, dinner is almost ready!" ”

Xu He waved his hand: "You eat first, don't wait for me!" ”

I haven't been to the Xu Mansion in Fenghuangdun for a few days, and as soon as I walked in, Xu He found that the elders of the Xu family were standing in the courtyard one by one with smirked eyes.

They all looked at Xu He in unison, and the meaning in their eyes was very complicated.

Xu He didn't want to be too verbose with these guys who didn't succeed enough and had more than enough to lose, so he simply turned around and went into the backyard.

When she came to the backyard, it was still the maid waiting next to Zhang Panlong last time, and she was overjoyed when she saw Xu He: "Son, the lord and the lady have been waiting for you for a long time?" ”

Xu He smiled at her, the little maid's face turned red, and then whispered: "The second master and that Luan Gongzi are also there!" ”

As she spoke, a look of disdain appeared on the pretty little maid's face.

Hehe, can be mixed so that no one can look down on him, this Xu Dai father and son are also talents.

When she arrived at the door of the inner room, the little maid lifted the curtain and said softly: "Crane Gongzi, the lord and the lady are waiting for you inside!" ”

Xu He nodded and stepped in.

Who knew that he had just walked in, and Xu Song, who was originally in bed, struggled to get out of bed.

Seeing this, Zhang Panlong and Xu Dai hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Xu Dai said: "Brother, you are not in good health, you can't get out of bed!" ”

Xu Song had no expression on his face, didn't even look at him, just pushed his hand away with his hand, and then walked out of bed tremblingly.

Just when everyone was guessing what he was going to do, I saw Xu Song clasping his fists at Xu He and bowing deeply: "The Xu family is in danger, fortunately, the crane has turned into invisible, and the uncle is the patriarch, but let you come forward before you are crowned, and the uncle is really ashamed!" Please accept the gift from the uncle! ”
