Chapter 62: Chicken and Dog Ascension? Non-existent
The next morning, Huo Bao brought more than 100 child soldiers and left Quyang with Huo Wu, Du Laoba and others.
Huo Bao only brought the 300,000 taels of silver, and the rest was handed over to Xiuxiu for a while.
Huo Shun and Deng Ren were also accompanying him.
I brought the silver cart and couldn't get there quickly, so everyone got on the mule cart.
Du Laoba and Huo Wuyi; Huo Bao and Huo Shun; Huo Hu escorted Deng Ren to one.
I don’t know why Huo Wu told Huo Shun, but Huo Shun became much more energetic, so his cousin asked about the resettlement of Jinling.
This is my concern for Uncle Huo and Shi Tou.
Huo Bao then talked about the small courtyard in the outer city of Jinling, the Niu Dalang brothers' joining the army, and the relationship with Shi and Jia families.
"Uncle has always been thinking about his second brother. When we first came out of the village, he said he wanted to take Aunt Six. Niu Niu defected to his second brother. Unexpectedly, when Quyang fell, we could only take a detour... Uncle was worried that it was because the second uncle Jia said that Baishan Army would not hurt the people, so he was a little more at ease... Later, when my father took me north, Quyang "recovered" and we went to the city to find my second brother. My second brother's house locked and asked his neighbors, and only said that there was no one there for a while..."
"It's me who is unfilial, which makes the elders worry..." Huo Shun sighed.
Huo Bao's eyes glanced on Huo Shun's leg, and the doctor said that the bone injuries he had before should be taken care of.
But Binjiang and Jinling are only separated by a river, so I am afraid that Huo Shun cannot wait in Jiangbei with peace of mind.
Everyone came out of Quyang early, and there was another official road along the way. At noon, they arrived at Binjiang.
Binjiang is a Xia County, with a population of only half of Quyang. However, because it was not affected by the war, the city looks more lively than Quyang.
More importantly, there are canals to drink water, and the drought is greatly alleviated, so the people can barely survive.
Quyang was in and out by the White-Shirted Army, and then "military control" for two months, making the people like frightened birds, and the soldiers and horses ran away. However, there were many people watching the fun in the riverside, and pointed at the team.
"Where is this soldier? How many hundred people are there?"
"Who else can be put into the city? The new county magistrate's!"
"It's good to be a family, save the fight!"
"Why are they all Mao boys? Is it Xinzheng?"
"The county government office has posted a notice to recruit soldiers. Are you a family member registered as a three-person family?"
"My family is separated, and the second brother is separated, and only two are left!"
"You are so old guy!"
Huo Bao listened carefully.
I heard someone outside happily saying, "The fifth uncle is back, the fifth uncle is back!"
It was the voice of Xue Biao's adopted son Xue Xiao.
Then the carriage stopped.
Binjiang County Government has arrived.
The Binjiang County Bingda camp covers a small area. Before the camp is expanded, most of the people are divided over there, and half of them are under the county government.
The county government is connected with the residences of the magistrate, the county magistrate and others behind it, and they are now empty.
The process of seizing Binjiang and Dezhou Prefecture is similar. They are both "teachers" killing officials and exchanging the city. The difference is that the magistrate on the prefecture was cut off, and the head was hung at the gate of the prefecture. However, the magistrate on the Binjiang County was burned to death, and the bones remained.
The county magistrate is a local, a money rake, and he is really dead.
When the county magistrate was in his sixties, this world could stabilize the land of a county, clear water conservancy and resume production in the years of drought, and be a good official.
Manpower is needed to operate Binjiang, and Huo Wu is not a murderer, so the old magistrate was saved.
The imperial officials were responsible for defending the territory, and the old magistrate's "death" was also a safeguard for his family.
At present, the old man was seeking death and was about to see Huo Wu immediately. Xue Biao was not able to do anything, so he asked his adopted son to quickly go to Quyang to find someone. Unexpectedly, he saw someone coming back as soon as he left the county government office, and he was inevitably ecstatic.
"I'm a little sour and have a good heart... At the beginning, I was looking for death and wanted to be loyal to the court, but later I threatened him with the lives of the people and calmed down... I wonder what's going on now?" Huo Wu said to his son in a low voice.
Huo Shun was in poor health and asked someone to take him to settle down.
Huo Hu is still guarding Deng Ren.
The remaining 50 guards of Du Laoba and 15 child soldiers on Huo Bao were all taken to Xue Xiao, who was welcomed, to settle down.
Huo Wu and his son, Du Laoba and the other two went to the lobby of the county government.
In the lobby of the county government, Xue Biao was anxious on his face and sweating on his forehead.
Xue Biao lowered his head and sat alone.
He was wearing a gray cloth monk's robe, a shiny bald head, a clean chin, and a pleated face.
Wrinkled old monk.
"This case must be accepted, and this case should be tried... After the wheat harvest, it is summer farming, and the use of water for farming is a huge matter. No matter whose ancestral tomb is, it is not as expensive as food!"
The old monk was thin, but his words were powerful.
"But that's the Huo family's ancestral tomb!"
"What's wrong with the Huo family? 'One person has achieved enlightenment and the chickens and dogs have ascended to heaven'? This has not achieved enlightenment yet. It's too early to be rampant!" The old monk was furious.
"Huo family? Which Huo family?" Huo Wuzheng stepped in after hearing the last sentence.
"Fifth Brother!" Xue Biao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw several people: "You are back!" He greeted Huo Bao again, and Du Laoba said, "Laoba and Xiaobao are here too!"
"Brother Seven!"
"Uncle Seven!"
Xue Biao smiled even more vigorously.
"Hmph!" The old monk did not move at all and glared at Huo Wu.
Huo Wu sat in the middle of the golden sword, looked at the old monk and said, "Sir, who is slow to take it? If you are dissatisfied, just scold me Huo Wu. Why did you tell me along with the old Huo family?"
The old monk stood up with anger on his face and pointed at Huo Wu, "How did you, a reckless man, agree to me? I have forgotten it in just a few days?"
Huo Wu became more and more confused: "I promised the elder to protect this peace, and the elder also promised me that the government affairs would be as normal. Is there nothing wrong with it? Someone is causing trouble in Binjiang?" The last sentence was asked at Xue Biao.
"Fifth brother, it was the Huo family in the eastern suburbs that blocked the waterway and attracted the villagers to fight. The people from Darong Village handed over the complaint and sued the Huo family!"
Huo Wu looked at Xue Biao and the old monk. He thought about it and couldn't help but laugh: "Just just sue, you're thinking too much! Don't say whether their "Huo" is the same as me, Huo, even if it's one, I'm still lying on the ground, it's not their turn to "successful ascension"!"
"Fifth brother, I'm afraid that someone will 'kill the chicken and scare the monkey'... We've just come to Binjiang and can't protect the Huo family, which will damage the prestige of the fifth brother!" Xue Biao said in disapproval.
"'Kill the chicken and scare the monkey'? I was scared! If someone dares to show off his knife, I will chop off his hands!" Huo Wu disagreed.
"The Huo family is not only a member of the Wu Ge tribe, but also a believer. They have good popularity in the church. We also made efforts when we entered Binjiang... If we can't protect this, it will probably make the people in the church feel heartbroken..." Xue Biao said another worry.
The Huo family is suspected to be the Xinxianwei clan, and the other is a scholar who has made contributions. No wonder they dare to be so domineering.
Huo Wudao: "Cultist? This church member is also divided into real church members and fake church members! Xiaobao comes here and tell you Uncle Qi how Qu Yang dealt with fake church members!"
Everyone looked at Huo Bao.
Huo Bao coughed lightly and told Qu Yang about the incident.
There was no concealment, starting from the discovery of authenticity and raw lacquer, to the gathering of religious believers in the county government, to posting notices to debate the authenticity of religious believers.
Xue Biao was so thief that his eyes lit up immediately.
He can lead the head of a county with thick faces because he understands the weight of this church.
But everything comes first and then comes, not that you can truly gain the support of the church if you lose your name.
Taking this opportunity to "remediate" Binjiang academic affairs, Xue Biao was just cheap.
"I am worthy of being my nephew!" Xue Biao praised sincerely.
However, the old monk glanced at Huo Bao and snorted softly: "Hmph! It's not the right way, I only know how to show off my tricks!"
Huo Bao didn't care, but Huo Wu was annoyed: "Hey! Old monk, I'm sorry for you. You said I can do it, but you can't say we little treasures! Why are you doing a trick? How many good people are there? Do you still have to let them sway the banner and act as a blessing? According to me, sweeping the street for half a year is a bargain, and it is appropriate to directly punish the crime of arson!"
Huo Bao did not go to see the old monk, but only said to Xue Biao: "Uncle Qi, keep the rectification of academic affairs in mind. Never let those pseudo-cultural disciples do illegal things and ruin our reputation! This Huo family is the best candidate!"
These water cuts, whether the Huo family intentionally or unintentionally, dragged Huo Wu down.
Instead of letting them be the "chicken" in the hands of others, it is better to be the one in your own hands.
