Chapter three hundred and seventy-two: alleys are empty
The huge family business is not enough to leave at will. Although the land is still in its name, it can still be guarded by a trusted child here, but when Li Hong thought of going to Lang Son, he was still a little confused.
So he decided to keep the letters well and let's take a look.
But three or two days later, when a shocking news came, Li Hong finally couldn't sit still.
A gentry in Hongzhou, Xia Xin'an Prefecture, was destroyed by someone. The family of more than 30 people died, and all the property in the family was robbed.
Although the news on the official side was that the young traitor was wandering through the way and suddenly had a murderous intention, no one knew whether it was the traitor, a group of scammers, or even a group of scattered soldiers and brave officials.
In chaos, people's lives are like grass. Xin'an Mansion is not far from this Qinghua Mansion. Today, the family is broken. Who can guarantee that the Qinghua Mansion can still be peaceful?
Although the local government ordered people to post a notice in this matter, informing the whole government of the matter, and criticizing the rebels for being cruel and asking monks and lay people to share the same hatred of the enemy and work together to prevent the thief.
The parents of the Qinghua Prefecture were certainly planning to use this incident to expose the atrocities of the rebels, but the hearts of the entire Qinghua Prefecture were completely disintegrated.
Even some rascals and raids took advantage of the chaos and started to rob. Although these people were nothing, a few officers could take them away. At most, they would bully small families. When they met big families like the Li family, there were so many guards that they could be cleaned up at any time.
But the signs exposed are very uneasy. Now it’s just a slut, what about the future?
Now the rebels are only in Xin'an Mansion. Where will they be next month?
The government army is still quite regular now, but once the situation is in chaos, will those scattered soldiers still have discipline?
Li Hong was frightened. Several of the families in the clan were all looking like earth. Everyone got together and began to negotiate for the future of the family.
"I think, I'd better go to Langsan. Stay here, who knows what will happen? If a hundred people's lives are really going to happen, everything will be regretful. In my opinion... cough cough... I'll say something that shouldn't be said, I can't stay here. Over the past ten years, there has been a mess of war and no moment of peace. I'm worried every day. How can I sleep well with peace? Today is Chen. Tomorrow is Hu, and the next day is Ming army. Now... hey..."
"Uncle Second, this is wrong. If the Han people bully us like this, what's wrong with raising the righteous flag in the south? Why don't we welcome it here..."
"What do you know! Yiqi? Han people are not good people. Do you think those people in Guangping Mansion will treat you and me well? Humph, don't you understand yet? These things have nothing to do with us. The most important thing at the moment is to protect yourself. You can't even protect yourself. What else do you say? I see that the second uncle is right, so go to Langshan. After entering Langshan, at least the whole family is safe and safe. Everyone lives a peaceful life. It's okay to stay here for the time being. Sooner or later, you can come back. Let Li Fu watch here and there will be no mistakes. Besides, the Marquis of Luzhou have always been kind and righteous. Our Li family has some friendship with him. With his care, we can protect you from here. We should not interfere with the matter here. Even if we interfere, we cannot interfere with the thirty-six strategies. The best strategy is to leave."
"After that being said, I have a few words." An old man with white hair shook his head and said, "It's not impossible to go to Langshan, but people are so humble. Do we abandon the foundation of our ancestors for a hundred years? This is the first. The second is that the family has moved, so many people and so many prefectures and counties. It is said that peace is north of Qinghua, but don't forget that the governments along the way also want to eat people, just fear..."
The person who spoke revealed the difficulties in reality. Now that something has happened, the ban is stricter. There are so many levels along the way, if you want to go through, and if you leave Qinghua, you will be nothing, and you are still blackmailed at will?
Li Hong was also silent and could not make up his mind for a moment.
That night, he didn't sleep all night, and walked around the house in his clothes as if he had lost his soul. The next day, someone came to report it and said, "Master, Master, the entire Qinghua Mansion has started."
When Li Hong heard the word "Not" and trembled, he frowned and asked, "Not a word? Who is the trouble? Is it a troublemaker or a traitor?"
The visitor said, "No, no, I came from Lang San, a personal army in fish uniforms. It was said that the people from the Musketball Team came to take everyone to Lang San by the order of the Marquis of Luzhou. They said they wanted to go and prepare early within three days. They set off at the hour of Mao in three days and will definitely provide care along the way."
When Li Hong heard this, he was overjoyed. The musket team was said to be the organization of the Ming Dynasty's personal army, and muskets were unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people. After all, the musket team had made great achievements in Annan. Now the Marquis of Luzhou ordered people to come to take over. This is a clear idea. There must be not many musket players coming, at most three or four people. It is a joke to rely on three or four people to protect everyone's safety. But don't forget that if the musket team escorted the musket team along the way, and if someone dared to make things difficult, then these private soldiers would definitely come forward. Their status is the personal army of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and they are also the Marquis of Luzhou and Haifanghou. Who dares to act rashly along the way? Even if someone wants to tear apart, everyone is not afraid. If you dare to touch these private soldiers, it won't take long, and people will naturally cause trouble for them.
Although this is just a form, it is like a reassurance. Li Hong not only felt the sincerity of the Hao family, but also lost his last worry. People are so sincere and think about themselves everywhere. It is expected that when they come to Langshan, there will be some care. The Marquis of Luzhou is so careful that it not only touches people, but also makes Li Hong feel that this vague future suddenly has some light.
"Give me instructions and let each room clean up. It must be cleaned up within three days. All the fine and soft property must be prepared. The accounting room will be counted out tomorrow. Also, the guards, maids and servants must also be selected. Except for some who guard the house and the ground, the rest will go to Lang Son."
"I want to go to the county and have to say hello to my local parents. Although County Magistrate Liu... I won't say these things, I will prepare sedan chairs."
The entire Qinghua Prefecture was in full bloom. In fact, ordinary people had no idea. They knew nothing, they were all ignorant people. Especially here, these mud legs that were regarded as grass mustards naturally would not have any long-term plans.
But for those scholars, merchants, gentry, and wealthy families, this is completely different. In fact, no one wants to leave, but he can't help but worry that after hundreds of years of business, there are so many children, can he stay here for slaughter?
In fact, many people are still watching and looking at the attitudes of other families. However, when they see some people have started to clean up, they can't sit still. People have the mentality of following the herd. Generally, the ones who walk the most resolutely are often those who are involved with the Hao family. Hao Zheng is humble and has friendships with many people. These people trust Hao Zheng and know that even if they go to Lang San, they will not be troubled, so they have no hesitation. When others see them leaving, they naturally dispel their doubts.
In addition, in order to enhance their courage and show that their decisions are correct, those who have walked around will inevitably add fuel to the fire when they ask whether to leave or stay. When talking about the benefits of Lang Son, they also talked about the dangers of the current situation, so that those who had made up their minds and refused to leave began to shake.
So, almost all the mansions were cleaned up. Qinghua was the second largest mansion in Annan, with many wealthy families. Many of them were wealthy families that had been around for hundreds of years. Even though some families were somewhat in a state of decline, the lean camels were bigger than horses, and their background was not comparable to ordinary people. Gold, silverware, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver ingots, and even jewelry and silk were loaded in large trucks.
As for those scholars, some of them are strong-willed and they are willing to stay, while others are interested. Whether they are famous scholars or great scholars, they all know what they will encounter in troubled times, so they have also left a lot.
The most resolute ones are naturally merchants. These merchants have seen the world. Most of them have been to Lang Son. They are easier than the wealthy family. After all, there is no land. As long as they clean up the fineness and softness, they can start. However, there is no fish in the water. They have money in their hands, so where can they not be traded? This group of people is the most realistic. Sitting on the treasure mountain, of course they know that they have fallen into a dangerous situation. If the court wins, those official troops may not blackmail the wealthy family. After all, the wealthy family and the gentry families have some influence, so they must not put their ideas on them. As for the rebels, they may not touch the gentry and the gentry. After all, doing so is very likely to lose people's hearts, but they will never be polite to them.
Therefore, it took only two days for the merchants to prepare for the trip.
But the local prefect and county magistrate also stamped their feet. The situation is unclear, so you ran away. Isn't this causing trouble? Isn't it intentionally causing panic? But these people have no choice. At present, their attention is already on the rebellion, and they dare not be as arrogant as usual. If even these people are forced to rebel, it is not a joke, let alone the meaning of the Marquis of Luzhou. What can you do? Although the Hao family has a bad reputation in the temple, it is like playing with you, a county magistrate and a prefect. There is no need to rebel against the Hao family for this.
