Chapter 192 Chapter 075 Leave
Section 075 leaves
Anxiu and Qin Yuan bought 80.00% of the shops in Suqu County.Most of the families have left, and the shopkeepers resell the shops at extremely low prices.Some tooth dealers wanted to leave. When they heard that they were going to buy a large-scale shop, they didn't dare to raise the price, so they sold it for a small profit.

The old man in charge of the Wu family is relatively safe, he doesn't have the courage and financial resources of Anxiu and Qin Yuan, so he naturally dare not buy it.

It's too late for other people to sell, how can they compete with An Xiu?
Anxiu used [-]% of the usual price to keep most of the shops in his hands. When the war in the south subsides and the residents return to their hometown, the business will naturally improve day by day.

Anxiu has her calculations: "The bank notes are kept at home and will never change. Only when they are put into the market can they play a role."

Qin Yuan's thoughts were even simpler.He has money, Anxiu is not afraid of losing money, what is he afraid of?So I bought it with Anxiu.

Half a month passed, and news came every day that the situation in the south was getting more and more critical, and it seemed that it was about to hit Suqu County.Wu Mingying took his family to Quzhou Mansion overnight.The people who stayed behind and couldn't move were very frightened, and fled one after another no matter how hard it was.

Qin Yuan hurried over and asked An Xiu, what should he do now?

Anxiu only said: "I won't leave the county seat, but I can't guarantee that I won't be able to reach here! My father and younger sister were sent to the countryside to seek refuge, brother, would you like to send your mother-in-law and Yiran to our countryside as well? I have uncles and brothers in my hometown, and there is a relatively small house that can accommodate a few people... I am afraid that the servant girl will be squeezed into the side room..."

Qin Yuan had no choice but to say: "My own hometown is in the southeast, and sending it there is courting death. If that's the case, please trouble Xiu girl!"

"Okay, brother, go back and make arrangements, I'll talk to my father and the others." An Xiu said.

In the afternoon, the weather changed slightly, and there was a layer of mist, and the whole Hou Mansion seemed to be covered with tulle, full of grace and beauty.

During dinner, Anxiu told He Youbao and He Yu'er her thoughts by the way, saying: "Father, Yu'er, you go back to the countryside and hide for a month or so. The situation in the south is more stable, and you can come back. Now situation..."

"Sister Xiu, did you lose the battle in the south?" He Yuer asked nervously. She would ask Anxiu how the situation in the south was going every day, whether she won or lost.Dreaming at night is always in a mess. For a while, Huo Kunlin returned in triumph, and for a while, he dreamed that he was covered in blood.She couldn't sleep well at night, He Yu'er had lost a lot of weight, and her rosy cheeks were turning pale.

Anxiu knew her worry, and comforted her: "Yesterday, County Magistrate Li said that he hadn't received the official report...it's all rumors, so it can't be true. Now that everyone in the city has fled, it's inconvenient for you to eat and live. Dad and I will go to the country to live for half a month before coming back! The old lady and lady of the Qin family will go with you."

"No, Xiu. If Dad goes back, he won't be able to eat well or sleep. He's just worried about you! Why don't you go back with us? Look at the world, where is there any business in the city?" He You Baofan couldn't eat anymore, and said worriedly.In today's county town, there are not even rice shops, let alone other shops?Those who can walk have almost reached it.

Zhang Zhenzhen said several times: "Uncle, please persuade sister Xiu to leave the county town and go to the countryside to avoid it! If she really calls, she will not be able to run away if she wants to. If sister Xiu refuses to leave, Erhu will also Don't dare to leave. If Erhu doesn't leave, I don't want to either...Uncle..."

Every time Zhang Zhenzhen said these things, He Youbao was also anxious, but several times the words came to his lips, and he swallowed them again.Anxiu is not someone who is unreliable in doing things, she stayed because of her status.

Ning Nanhou is gone, even if others die, they don't want to die in the county town!Then Suqu County will become an empty city, and the cowardly magistrate Li will even run away.He didn't dare to leave now, but he was afraid that Anxiu, the Marquis Lord, was here.

As soon as the county magistrate ran away, the more than 1000 officers and soldiers guarding the county would naturally also run away.

The rebels are here, can't they win without a fight?

He Youbao has never been educated, and He Yuer told him these truths.Now that Anxiu finally said to go back to his hometown, He Youbao naturally didn't want to let it go, and continued: "Xiu, there is Mrs. Li in the county, and you can't be of much help here. Why don't you know the countryside yourself?"

"Father, I won't leave!" Anxiu insisted, "But you and Yu'er must leave! You are in the county town, if the rebels come, I will have worries!"

"Sister Xiu, you know me, I will definitely not leave the county, and I will not leave you!" He Yuer said firmly, her dark eyes filled with determination and unquestionable, "Don't try to persuade me to go. Even if you go back, I will Stay here and wait for news from Kunlin!"

Anxiu could understand this feeling, she was worried and afraid but couldn't help looking forward to it.He Yu'er understood the truth, so when Huo Kunlin went to the battlefield, she never complained.But she was always afraid that Huo Kunlin would not be lucky enough to be buried in the battlefield...

For a long while, the dinner table was quiet, and the three of them only ate a few mouthfuls, focusing on talking.

Anxiu sighed, and asked the servants to take down the vegetables, rice, soup and water on the table, and replaced them with new ones. She always asked for their opinions like this, but she couldn't make up her mind. Anxiu became cruel, and said: "Yu'er, You go to the countryside with Dad! Dad is alone in the country, I’m afraid he will be worried. In addition, I don’t know what the situation in the countryside is like now. I took four nurses with me. Many people fled to the west, and there must be some in our countryside. People who escaped from the county...if they get into a mess, don't be brave..."

"I won't leave!" He Yuer suddenly slapped the table, stood up, and looked at Anxiu with dignity, "I said, I won't leave!"

Anxiu didn't say anything, but just glanced at her indifferently: "I also said, you have to go!"

He Yu'er stared closely for a long while, and finally couldn't bear An Xiu's more severe gaze, turned her head away, sat down slowly, and said, "Okay, I'll go..."

The servants brought up the hot meals one after another. Anxiu scooped up a bowl of soup for He Yuer and said, "Don't worry, as long as there is news from the east, no matter good or bad, I will ask Nangong to give it to you in a hurry!"

He Yu'er didn't raise her eyes to look at An Xiu, and just nodded when she heard this.

He Yuer agreed, and it was pointless for He Youbao to insist any longer, so he stopped talking.

Anxiu hadn't eaten a bowl of rice yet, so a servant came in and said, "My lord, Master Qin is here!"

An Xiu put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said to He Youbao and He Yuer: "Eat more, the fish tonight is not bad...Father, Brother Qin is here, I'll go and have a look."

"Hey, let's go!" He Youbao said.

******
Qin Yuan went back and discussed Anxiu's words with the old lady and Mrs. Qin. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were worrying that they had nowhere to hide. Now that Anxiu's house in the countryside happened to be rented, it was much better than those fleeing famine. There is a fall.

Seeing that both their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law agreed, Qin Yuan hurried over to reply to Anxiu, making arrangements and plans early to send them off.The later you go, the more worrisome you are.

The servants had already served hot tea, Qin Yuan slowly shook the lid of the cup, picked up the tea leaves in the cup, and took a sip slowly.A light mist rose from the tea in the cup, fogging Qin Yuan's eyes.He sighed, feeling powerless about current affairs.

Anxiu walked in, Qin Yuan hurriedly got up to greet her.

All the servants retreated, Qin Yuan dared to call her Xiu girl when there were only Anxiu and Qin Yuan in the Nuan Pavilion.Tell An Xiudao what was discussed at home: "Xiu girl, both your mother and your sister-in-law said that they would rather go to the countryside to live for a while in fear in the city... This is a silver ticket, and the expenses in the countryside are all spent by Uncle Bao. Too much trouble. Besides, my mother is getting old and needs to take two maids with her!"

"Brother, there is no problem with these. Since Anxiu asked her mother and sister-in-law to live there, she will definitely arrange everything. Brother take the bank note back, and if you give me the money, don't you slap me in the face? I am filial to my mother and sister-in-law. Do you want money from elder brother?" Anxiu smiled, "The maids in the house are always easier to use than the maids on my side, so I won't make other arrangements. Brother, let's leave after breakfast tomorrow, and leave mother and others early. Sending it off, you and I feel at ease..."

Qin Yuan had no choice but to take the bank note, and was so grateful to An Xiu in his heart that he couldn't say anything for a while, he just smiled and went back.

When Qin Yuan left, Anxiu sent people to Ling's mansion, told Zhang Zhenzhen that He Youbao and others were going back to the countryside, and asked her if she would go with her.Go back and live for a while, and come back after the city settles down.

The servant left for about half an hour, and came back and said, "Master Ling, shopkeeper Ling said that our cousin has already gone back... She and shopkeeper Ling's parents have returned to shopkeeper Ling's hometown. Shopkeeper Ling said, thank you Lord for thinking about it! "

Anxiu nodded: "Since that's the case, I'm also relieved!"

Some people in the city saw that Lord Hou's house had a carriage leaving the city, and they panicked, thinking that Lord Hou had left too.Especially County Magistrate Li, he was terrified to death, he managed to covet some money, but he hadn't had time to spend it yet.If the rebels came over, Suqu County had no heavy troops and no reinforcements, so they would definitely be destroyed without attack, but he would be the first to die, probably he, the seventh-rank sesame official, would be the one!

It's not worth it for him to think about it, why did he encounter such unlucky things.Because Suqu County is not an important military town, nor is it an important military route, even if it is breached, it will not affect the defense of the imperial court.What's more, the southeast is already short of troops, and the natural danger of the Yellow River is naturally the top priority of military defense. How can there be extra troops allocated to a small county in the corner?
Therefore, County Magistrate Li has only two hopes now: Either wait for the Lord to leave the county as soon as possible, or wait for the Lord to run away, and then leave immediately!Either the rebels also felt that Suqu County was useless, and directly attacked their neighboring Linzhou Prefecture, leaving this small county town alone.

So the servants came back and said that there was a carriage going out of the city from Lord Hou's mansion, County Magistrate Li jumped up happily, and hurriedly asked the servants to make the jewelry soft and soft to please the carriage, and was going to sneak out of the city as an ordinary person.Let your housekeeper pretend to be sick for your family.Anyway, the waiter is gone, why should he stay to die?

In the process of tidying up in full swing, the confidant boy came back again and said in a low voice: "My lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave..."

"Why?" County Magistrate Li was shocked, "The rebels have already called?"

"No sir, the one who left the city this morning was Lord Hou's father-in-law...that is, her current adoptive father and younger sister, not Lord Hou! Lord Hou just rode on the horse and returned to the county seat!" The servant said in a low voice.His name is Santai, and he is the schoolboy of County Magistrate Li since he was a child, and he has always trusted him.

"This..." Magistrate Li was a little discouraged, "Why doesn't she leave? Stupid woman! My lord is going to be dragged to death by her!"

While complaining, Kong Butou from the front yamen came in in a hurry, and hurriedly said to County Magistrate Li, "My...my lord, it's not good, the guards from the front post are here. He said that the rebels had already crossed the Xi Nuo River, and they went to We are here. There are tens of thousands of people, I am afraid they will arrive in our county in two days!"

County magistrate Li only felt his eyes darken, and he shouted sharply: "Didn't the court send General Zhennan to resist? Where is General Zhennan? He died in battle?"

"My lord, you should go and ask yourself!" Kong Tutou said hastily, sweating profusely.

County magistrate Li didn't bother to change his official uniform, so he went straight to the front hall.

A soldier with a dusty face saw the county magistrate Li coming out, and hurriedly handed him the official report in his hand, his voice was a little hoarse: "My lord, the Nanman army will arrive at your place in less than three days, and you must try to hold it back, my lord." Rebels! This subordinate has to go to Linzhou to report to the army in Linzhou to send reinforcements. This subordinate is leaving!”

"Wait a minute, lord!" County Magistrate Li hurriedly stopped him, and asked anxiously, "Didn't General Zhennan go to the southeast, why did the rebels come so soon? General Zhennan was defeated?"

"This is another rebel army. They were lying in ambush on the back of the general. They waited for the army to pass through their line of defense before sending out to the southwest to attack our county... Master Li, take care!" said the sentinel. He clasped his fists as a military salute, and left in a hurry.

The steward sent him to the door, changed a good horse for him, and prepared water and dry food.The sentinels didn't bother to thank them, and hurried to a state capital in the west, hoping to meet reinforcements from the Yellow River and come to relieve the siege of Suqu County.But it is estimated that by the time the reinforcements arrive, Suqu County will have already been occupied!
Although the rebel army marched slowly, no matter how slow it was, they could reach here in three days.And the Yellow River is five or six days away from Suqu County on a fast horse!

****
County magistrate Li was holding the official newspaper, sitting on a chair decadently, his eyes were blackened, his head was buzzing, his official luck was over, and he was afraid he might lose his life!

"My lord, what should we do now? The sentinel said that tens of thousands of rebels have come, and we only have more than 1000 defenders! This is an egg hitting a stone! Do you want to tell the Lord Hou about this first, and ask her Have an idea?" Li County Magistrate's confidant Santai suggested.Tell Anxiu about this, and they will break away from the relationship. Later, the court will blame them, and the county magistrate Li will be less dereliction of duty.

County Magistrate Li didn't speak, but Santai's words made him think of something in an instant, but slowly calmed down, and asked: "Santai, you said that you told Lord Hou that she can send an army to defend the county within three days?"

"This...how is this possible?" Santai said, "The nearest defense force here is the defense force in the south of the Yellow River. They were all taken away by the general. Now we need the defense force in the north of the Yellow River... and, The defense army will be transferred as soon as it is said? Without a soldier talisman, the emperor will not be able to transfer, let alone Ningnanhou?"

"So, if I told Lord Hou, I was going to die here... Then why did you tell her?" County Magistrate Li's face was a bit hideous.

Santai was stunned, and instantly understood what County Magistrate Li wanted to say, and immediately panicked: "My lord, if this is the case, the court will find out in the future, and I'm afraid it will blame us. We really have to run first by ourselves, no matter what the Lord Hou wants to say." ?"

"Tell her, she will not let us go. She has a higher official rank than me, and the defenders listen to her. She must run away first, let us stay and die! Don't tell her, let's go first. Immediately Tell people to pack up their things, and don’t leak the news, let’s sneak away late at night today!” Li County Magistrate’s eyes were gloomy, “I can’t die in this place where no shit... wait until the Marquis of Ningnan and the defenders are all Killed by the rebels, when the time comes to the imperial court, what the official says will be what it is..."

Santai couldn't think of a better idea, so he had to agree with Li County Magistrate's approach.Besides, this is the only way out right now.There is no suspense at all if you stay, you will definitely die, tens of thousands of rebels at that time!With one against ten, the defenders in Suqu County don't have that ability!They are old, weak, sick, and disabled. They maintain law and order on weekdays. If there are real swords and guns, the rebels can kill ten of them.

Only escape!

County Magistrate Li has made a decision, so he is going to arrange the escape route, and the people in the house must not know the news, so as not to go to Ningnan Hou Mansion to report and receive the reward, only the confidant maids, servants, and old ladies know ..They will go with Magistrate Li.

"My lord, Butou Kong knows!" Santai said suddenly.

County Magistrate Li's back felt cold, that's right, if Butou Kong found something wrong at night, he would report to Marquis Ningnan, fearing that they would be arrested before leaving the county.County magistrate Li thought for a while: "Lock him up first..."

"My lord, why not..." Santai made a killing gesture, "This way I can rest assured, what's the use of being locked up?"

County magistrate Li couldn't bear it. After all, he had been an official for many years, and he was always followed by Kong Butou, so he could be regarded as loyal.However, County Magistrate Li is very clear about the character of Kong Butou: pedantic, foolish and loyal!It is absolutely impossible for him to run away with him.

Seeing that his master couldn't bear it, Santai persuaded in a low voice: "My lord, at this critical moment, you can't have the kindness of a woman! If he doesn't die now, your family may not be able to survive..."

County magistrate Li froze when he heard this, indeed, it's the moment of life and death, so what's the point of morality?At this time, anyone who stands in his way will die!
"Is he still in the county government office?" County Magistrate Li asked, "Go and see for yourself, and if he is still there, bring him to the mansion... As for how to do it, you and Lao Wu have to devise a way to do it. Clean, without leaving any traces..."

Santai said yes, turned around and left.

When I arrived at the county government office, I found that Butou Kong was still there. He stood alone at the door and didn't say anything to the other policemen.And those police officers all gathered together to complain, roughly that they could leave at any time.I'm afraid I can't hold on to these.When the rebels come, they will all die.

There was a pained expression on Kong Tutou's face.He didn't dare to tell all the policemen what the sentinel sent the official newspaper just now.If this news gets out, people will panic and even the defenders will flee.So what should the people do?Compared with the defenders, they are even more powerless.

How can the people become the souls of the rebels like this?They are paid by the imperial court. At this time, they are the only ones who can stop the rebels and wait for the reinforcements to come, so as to win a little life for the people of the county!So Kong Tutou's heart ached like ten thousand arrows passing through, and he didn't dare to say a word.

"Boss Kong, my lord wants you to go over there." Santai entered the door, seeing that Boss Kong was not with the policemen, he knew that he hadn't told the story.That's great.

"Brother Santai, what is your lord looking for me for?" Kong Butou asked casually, then followed Santai out of the gate of the county government office and rushed to Li's residence.

"How would I know about this?" Santai laughed, "Zuo is just an official business! By the way, Captain Kong, Mr. Li said that we can't talk about the rebels for the time being, for fear of affecting morale. You didn't tell others, did you?" ?”

"I understand this truth, and I haven't told anyone about it!" Kong Butou said.

Santai asked Kong Butou to wait in the West Chamber Pavilion for a while, saying that the Lord would come soon.Kong Butou nodded, suddenly felt a shock in the back of his head, Venus stared in front of his eyes, and Santai's expression became horrifying, but he didn't understand why, he felt a cold steel knife piercing his back vest behind him !
Kong Tutou was hit with a sap, and he had no strength to struggle at all. He was stabbed by three servants hiding behind the screen, and then tied up.With his mouth covered, Santai's face became even more ferocious.He took out a shiny dagger from his back waist and pointed it straight at Kong Tutou's heart.

Kong Tuotou's eyes suddenly shrank, and he felt pain in his body, blood gushed out from his heart, and his strength became less and less.

A figure pushed open the door of the Nuan Pavilion and came in. Looking at Botou Kong, who was lying in a pool of blood, he smiled and said, "It's a good job, Santai. Quickly carry this corpse to the back room and lock the door. Arrange it well, we can't let them see the clues, in another four hours, we can leave the city!"

Santai hurriedly said yes, several people put the dead head of Kongbu into the sack that had been prepared earlier, then covered it with a red cloth, and carried it to the back room.It was a side room where sundries were piled up, and no one went there on weekdays, and only Santai had the key.

After all the dust settled, County Magistrate Li breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could finally take a breather.

At night, Mr. Li looked behind the mansion, and five carriages drove out.County magistrate Li asked someone to bribe a tooth dealer, and asked him to bribe the guards and soldiers to let him go in the middle of the night.A lot of money was given, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city turned a blind eye, not caring whose carriage it was!
