Before Huo Bao could speak, the shopkeeper was about to kneel down.

"My master, Mr.! You can't kill me anymore!"

"Um?"

"The county soldiers came just now. Whether it was a 'both defeat' or a 'fake official', they could barely cover it up. Killing people to seize the city gate is a huge matter! It can't be covered up!"

“…”

Huo Bao had a stern face and didn't say anything.

Is he so cruel?

The purpose of asking people to control the city gatekeeper is just to prevent being "catched in a jar".

Of course, I planned to take advantage of the dawn and everyone quietly left the city.

As for those people, why do you kill them if you have nothing to do?

"What are you doing if you don't obey?" Huo Bao glanced at the shopkeeper and said softly.

The shopkeeper bent even more and said hurriedly: "Assuming, obedient! I'll go and tell them! They dare not stop the guys!"

Huo Bao raised his eyebrows and refused to comment.

The shopkeeper felt a cold sweat.

Qiantou led the way and headed to the west gate of the county town.

Most of the twenty-nine city guards were like quails, one more than the other.

The dishonest one was photographed fainted.

Seeing that no one died, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, woke up the city gate official and said in a low voice: "When you are traveling, open the city gate quickly, don't talk too much!"

"But there is no order from the county magistrate, it is not in accordance with the rules!" The little official said in a trembling voice, holding a red envelope that was as big as a chicken on his forehead.

"The nobleman is in a hurry to leave the city, and even if the great master is here, he dare not stop him! It's about to start, we will take care of what's wrong!" The shopkeeper said hurriedly because Huo Bao was impatient.

Who is not afraid of death?

Someone was carrying it, and the city gate officials were reluctant to go down the steps, so they responded honestly.

The sound of sticks came from afar, and it was the fifth day.

The city gate opened and mule carts lined up to leave the city.

There were about 160 people, who had experienced a big battle, and the ending was full of enthusiasm. Those who were watching felt terrifying. No one dared to be casual, and they were a little more solemn before they knew it.

Apart from the child soldiers, these people had different weapons, and they also had the same color of goose feather swords before, and they did not put them away after drawing the sword tonight.

The shopkeeper saw it and glanced at the city gate official.

The city gate official swallowed and whispered: "Where did you come from the nobles? You brought so many personal soldiers when you go in and out?"

"Don't ask around, it's not good to know too much!"

The shopkeeper pretended to be deep, but in fact he had no idea.

If people are released, the finishing work will not be easy.

I have to go to the boss to discuss it. I have to take on the matter and sell my favors, but I have to find the right mountain to burn incense.

It was not until two miles away from the city gate that Xue Xiao let out a long sigh and murmured: "Is it coming out now?"

"Luck, I thought I would kill a few more!" Shui Jin also breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Bao thought about the "noble man" mentioned by the shopkeeper just now and said, "Brother Xue, what other high-ranking military officers are there in Suzhou besides the commander-in-chief of the Suzhou Province?"

In the Daning official system, there are three departments in each province. The chief commander's commander's commander's commander's commander's commander's commander in the second rank.

"There are also two commanders and commanders, two second-rank masters; four assistant commanders, three third-rank masters. There are also Jinling Guards, Zhenjiang Guards, and Changzhou Guards. They are also third-rank masters."

After hearing this, Huo Bao felt at peace.

The shopkeeper obviously misunderstood.

The more doubts there are, the better. If you look back and find out carefully, you can find a suitable vest to walk in Jiangnan.

"Do you want to go down the official path?" Xue Xiaoxin was still scared.

"Need not!"

"Don't enter the city in Qu'a County?" Xue Xiaoshi was frightened.

"If the grain truck does not enter the city, there will be no obstacles for people."

Shui Jin also reacted and smiled and said, "The shopkeeper is afraid he will regard us as noble people!"

"Well, so don't be guilty. I guess there are people behind it. If we go down the official path and miss it, we will cause trouble."

Xue Xiao looked at Huo Bao, and then saw that Shui Jin.

The water is black and strong, and it has nothing to do with the "noble people". Only Huo Bao is misunderstood.

Xue Xiaoqiang smiled, unable to say what he felt in his heart.

He despised Huo Bao in various ways before, but now he really dares.

Just now, there were more than twenty lives in front of the foot shop. Huo Bao killed him as soon as he said he could.

If the shopkeeper hadn't been clever, the twenty-nine people in the city guards would have been killed.

This kid is really a son of the butcher family. He has the intention of killing and has no scruples at all.

Don't offend him in the future.

On the next road, Xue Xiao was very honest.

Huo Bao did not sit in the carriage and kept paying attention to the situation on both sides of the road.

The wheat fields on both sides of the road have already been yellow, but the wheat fields are like patches.

"parking!"

Huo Bao called and jumped out of the car.

When Huo Bao looked closer, he could see the reason.

The wheat fields are still wheat fields, but most of them are bare wheat straw and the ears are gone.

In the distance, several figures flashed out and disappeared.

"It's really a waste. This wheat can harvest three or four, which is good."

When the water enters the farming industry, he looks around and weighs it.

Huo Bao didn't know whether to be happy or worried. What he was happy about was the summer harvest and production cuts, and the grain prices remained high, so the food in his hand was even more valuable. The worry was that the food price cuts, and the impact of the lower class was the people who were the ones who were most likely to starve to death.

Xue Xiaodao: "The weather in Jiangnan is good, and the harvest is twice a year, and the harvest is not bad for this season."

The three of them returned to the carriage and continued to move forward.

There were two small black dots in the distance, and they saw Huo Bao and his group's movements. Although they didn't understand the meaning, they were remembered in their hearts.

After one day, it was another forty miles.

Both sides of the road have changed from wheat fields to paddy fields. Now there are double-season rice in southern Jiangsu, and early rice can be harvested in mid-to-late June.

This place is much better than that near Changning County, and no refugees have been seen ruining crops.

There was a village nearby, so Xue Xiao sent him into the village to find the village chief, and the convoy and accompany him borrowed the wheat field from Zhuangzi to settle it.

Huo Bao, Xue Xiao, and Shui Jin followed the village chief to settle the village chief's house.

It was dark in summer and it was still bright now. The group met several groups of villagers.

These villagers all felt bitter and saw that the village was coming.

"Muramasa, do you really want to rent an extra rent?"

"The rent for 46 is not low, and no matter how busy you are, you won't have enough food for a year."

"Even if it's 50%, the rain in spring is less, and the harvest this year is not as good as in previous years. Isn't it fatal to have 60%?"

Village frowned and said, "What's the point? Mr. Zhang does not lack tenants. How many people in Jiangbei have fled to famine? Not to mention tenants, they have the original intention of selling themselves as slaves. The rent outside is increased to 70%. Mr. Zhang is kind-hearted and dare not face others. It is already kind to mention 60%."

"Woooo... this day is so hard to live!"

A man squatted on the ground and started crying.

"Old Song is pitiful. He borrowed money from his mother's medical treatment in the spring. Where can I go?" a villager said.

Murama sighed and called Huo Bao and others to leave.

Huo Bao sighed in his heart, this became a vicious cycle.

The refugees from Huainan went to Jiangnan to seek a way out, which forced the people of Jiangnan to lose their way out.

The village chief has blue bricks and gray tiles. Although it is a farmer, it is clean.

Xue Xiao's Yindouzi was also instructing the way, and the Munmasa family was very attentive to treat guests.

I killed a little rooster, cut two pieces of bacon, and a table of hearty farm dishes, and there was also rice wine brewed by Muramasa's family.
