Chapter 194: The relatives are here(1/2)
Outside the city, Xue's house.
Xue Biao couldn't sit and lie down.
With such a big disturbance in Jinling City, he naturally got news here.
This is because the Chuzhou Army did not enter the city without prosperity. The news he received was that the army entered the city from the north gate and went directly to the Jinling camp.
Xue Biao was also thinking, is it possible that Huo Wu and the others arrived?
I don't think it's so fast.
Not the Chuzhou Army, who is that person?
Daqing Army with Shoutian Wan?
Although the imperial court recovered Hangzhou, there were more than ten prefectures in the south under the Daqing Army.
Xue Biao was a little afraid to stay.
If his identity is really captured by the Daqing army, he will not be able to fall behind.
Xue Biao cherishes his life very much.
When something came from outside, Xue Biao stood up with a "quiet" sound.
Many people came outside?
Xue Biao trembled and looked at the inner room where there was a secret passage.
However, he was still awake and did not hear the guards' moves. He knew something was wrong with it, so he paused and walked out.
When Xue Biao saw the visitor, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Seventh Master, Niu Qing, the subordinate of the fifth Master, comes to pick up the seventh Master!"
"Oh? Is the fifth brother's men in the city?"
There won’t be any trouble in this warehouse promotion city, right?
There are 10,000 or 20,000 officers and soldiers inside and outside Jinling City.
The more time comes, Xue Biao is more worried about gains and losses.
It is no joke that success or defeat of the enemy.
"The men of Mr. Deng and Sister Ma are also here, as well as the men of Xiaobao and Chaohuyu commander..."
Xue Biao then felt at ease and hurriedly said, "Where is Fifth Brother, let's go there!"
Tens of thousands of people are confidence.
There is also Deng Jian, a martial artist, who is not likable, but his skills are real.
...
Jinling Governor's Office.
Huo Wu passed down one order after another, and then he got the chance to speak with the Jia brothers and Shi Jin.
"The Chuzhou Army General takes Jinling as the foundation... The eight counties of Jinling Prefecture, the two counties attached to Guo, are not counted. The six counties below have divided two people and horses, and there is no hurry to leave the three counties... But I plan to build the city wall first..." Huo Wudao.
Shi Jin nodded and said, "It should be like this, otherwise it would be a joke if you guard the four gates."
The prefectures and counties occupied by the Daqing army are less than 300 miles closest to Jinling.
There are also 100,000 imperial bandit suppression troops in Hangzhou. The commander was transferred away and the troops were still stationed, so we must beware of them going north.
Jia Yuan was a little bit bad and said, "The gentry of Jinling is the most submissive. The previous magistrate's various tax increases, but no one objected. I guess this time I was willing to donate money to build the wall!"
He still hated the clan and wanted the Chuzhou army to deal with the Jia clan members well.
Huo Wu knew the grudges between the Jia brothers and the family and said, "We are not familiar with Jinling, so you and Brother Shi will draw a list..."
This is to give the candidates to "cut leeks" to two companies.
The Jia brothers naturally would not be ignorant and agreed immediately.
Shi Jin nodded, but thought about what Huo Wu said, "I'm not familiar with you." How could he be unfamiliar?
Even the age of a deputy commander knew, the news was well-informed.
Huo Wu said: "I was in Chuzhou and invited a banquet for gentry. I once said, 'Either friend or enemy'... Now in Jinling, it is the same... Either friend or enemy, no one who keeps his heart... But I am not Yan Luo, the other party will kill him if he doesn't follow the Chuzhou army... Those who don't follow can leave, but the car cannot pass ten cars, and the family cannot pass fifty people..."
Both the Jia brothers and Shi Jin changed their faces.
Jia Yuan disagreed: "Fifth Master, this example begins... I am afraid that many people will choose to move their families..."
Huo Wu said, "There are 400,000 people in Jinling City. Even if you leave 10%, there are more than 300,000. What are you afraid of? Can you hold on if you don't drink water? If you want to leave, you can rent our boat to Yangzhou. If you want to go to Hangzhou, we will also be responsible for escorting! If there are believers of the Ming King and those who want to run to the Daqing Army in Qichun, we will not stop us!"
Of course this sentence is not a joke.
The population of Jinling City is mostly people, and there are only hundreds of gentry families.
Even if they all left, there would be 10,000 or 20,000 people.
However, according to Huo Wu's requirements, the family members should not exceed fifty or ten cars, which means they will give up their family and abandon their business.
Those who always have to cut leeks, Huo Wuba must not go to a few more stores.
Jia Yuan and Shi Jin had long heard of Huo Wu's style in Chuzhou before, and only sighed that he was just right.
"Either a friend or an enemy" directly cleans up local hidden dangers, but the methods are rough but effective.
Jia Yan is a scholar. With more books, more thoughts will be made.
Ten cars of private money, what about the rest?
The family members are fifty years old, what about the extra ones?
Can't think deeply.
After Huo Wu finished talking about the serious matter, he looked at Shi Jin and said, "These days are complicated, but I forgot to tell you something... Shi Cong is in Hezhou, and his girl is also..."
Shi Jin was shocked: "He didn't go to Bozhou?"
Not only did Huo Wu send people to Bozhou to find him, but Shi Congye sent his confidant family to Bozhou twice, but there were no clues at all.
"It's a coincidence that Chuzhou was in chaos at that time. They wanted to take a detour from Hezhou to catch up with his girl's discomfort and became sick. She was resting in Hezhou!"
Shi Jin clasped his fists and thanked: "Thank you, Master Wu for your trouble. I will send someone to pick them up tomorrow."
Although his relatives were happy to receive the news, they remembered their cousin's marriage, so there was more obscureness in his eyes.
Even if my brother is on the side, he will still be left outside for half a year if he falls in the eyes of others.
Even though they had an engagement with the Wu family in Chuzhou before, the Wu family's father and son had already beheaded, so the engagement naturally gave up.
Huo Wu smiled and said, "As for this, our two families are also relatives!"
Huh?
Shi Jin was puzzled for a while.
Jia Yuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Can the Fifth Master be a matchmaker for his old boy?"
Huo Wu waved his hand and said, "It's not this, it's my nephew Niu Qing... His wife is the granddaughter of the eldest daughter of Wu's family in Chuzhou... Wu's brother is the sister-in-law of Brother Shi... Isn't this a relative who has turned a corner?"
Shi Jin was very surprised.
After the news that Wu Mo had inquired before, he "released his head", which caused the Wu family's evil deeds to be exposed and all the father and son were killed.
He thought that his cheap cousin was a guise introduced by the Chuzhou Army. After using it, his life would be almost done. Unexpectedly, he was still alive and told the girl such a marriage.
"Wu Mo is in the water... the first place is in Hezhou, he has already met Shi Cong..." Huo Wudao.
Shi Jin nodded and thanked again.
The marriage remains unchanged, and it is a blessing for my cousin.
It’s just that during the filial piety period, it will take two years to get married.
At this moment, Xue Biao arrived.
"Haha, congratulations to fifth brother, we finally got Jinling!"
Xue Biao was so happy that when he saw Huo Wu, he directly folded his fists to congratulate him.
Huo Wu smiled and said, "Happy together, happy together!"
After the city wall was repaired, there was an East-West Water Pass outside as a water barrier. Even if the imperial court's army came over, the Chuzhou army would not be afraid of this strong city on the land.
Finally, I can sleep peacefully.
In the hall, except for Huo Wugao, he was in the upper hand, Deng Jian, Ma Juzi, Huo Bao, Yu Dahai, and Jia Yan, Shi Jin, Jia Yuan and Miao Qian were in the left hand.
As soon as Xue Biao came in, except Deng Jian, Ma Juzi, Huo Bao and Yu Dahai all stood up and gave up a seat.
"Uncle Seven!"
"Uncle Seven!"
"Seventh Master!"
Xue Biao nodded to the few people and walked towards Deng Jian's lower head.
To be continued...
