In the study, Fei Hong dried and closed the ink of the freshly written notebook, then pulled the rope bell, and the entourage who had been waiting outside for a long time pushed the door in, took the notebook and exited with ease, and set off to send it to the post station.

The recitals of local officials in the Ming Dynasty were handed down through the post road system, and finally summarized to the Beijing Tongzheng Envoy Division, which recorded and registered and forwarded it to the cabinet, and the cabinet gave preliminary handling opinions, and then transferred it to the emperor for approval by the celebrant supervisor.

Although Fei Hong knew that his recital would not be able to reach the case of Emperor Zhengde nine times out of ten, but when he saw the current erosive situation in Jiangxi, he still couldn't help but feel sorry for the various evil deeds of King Chen Ning.

"Master, dinner is ready, do you want to go back to Madame's room, or send it to the study?" Hongyingxing came in and asked with a blessing.

"Send me the study!" Fei Hong said in a deep voice, his daughter Fei Xiaoyu was still grounded in the room by him in the past two days, and his wife was vomiting with him for this matter, and he didn't bother to listen to his wife's chatter, so he simply stayed in the study when he ate and slept, and his eyes were out of sight.

The maidservant Hongying quickly brought the meal, and Fei Hong suddenly woke up his niece Fei Ruyi, and asked, "Has Ruyi's illness improved?" ”

Hongying replied: "Just now the maid went to the kitchen and happened to meet the third girl's maid ring into the painting, I heard her say that the third girl is much better, and she is about to eat porridge!" ”

Fei Hong was relieved when he heard this, nodded and said, "That's good, it seems that the doctor of Qinghetang still has some ability." ”

Hongying's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "Master, which is the ability of the doctor of Qinghetang, it is only because Gongzi Xu has the ability." ”

Fei Hong was slightly stunned: "What's the matter?" Xiao Xu has been here today? ”

"Today, the eldest young master took Xu Gongzi to see the third girl, Xu Gongzi not only interpreted Ruyi's dream, but also looked at the face......

After listening to Hongying's narration, Fei Hong was speechless for a moment, Lao Fei is not so easy to fool, what Mai looks like, what must be a good son-in-law, he doesn't believe it at all.

Fei Hong still doesn't know his protégé? The mind is full of strange things, and it is so whimsical that even the sow on the ground can fool you up the tree.

……

In the evening, Xu Youcai and his son Da Yan returned to Xujia Village, and this thing sneakily hid the urn of spiced haggis home, and then put a small bowl in the basket and ran to find the patriarch Xu Deming to offer treasure.

"Okay, great, Brother Jin is really a thousand miles of my Xujia Village!"

After listening to Xu Youcai's return, Xu Deming was so happy that he walked back and forth in the house, Xu Jin actually took off the head of the house test, as the patriarch of the Xu family, his old face was very bright!

Xu Youcai said with a smile: "My grandson used to think that the tenth brother was a Wenqu star, hey, look at it now, even if he is less than fifteen years old, he will even take the first place in the county test." ”

Xu Deming didn't know much about his grandson, he was lazy and liked to take advantage of small advantages, this time he entered the city and estimated that he had made a lot of benefits from Brother Jin, pointed to the basket brought by Xu Youcai and asked, "What is in here?" ”

Xu Youcai hurriedly took out the bowl of spiced haggis, and said with a smile: "This is sold in the tenth brother's store, and my grandson specially bought a bowl and came back to your old man to taste." ”

Xu Deming glanced at Xu Youcai: "You really bought it, don't think I'm old and confused, just the virtue of your little cub, it's impossible!" ”

Xu Youcai said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to buy it, but the old ten families refused to accept the money, so let me bring it back to honor your old man." ”

Xu Deming snorted coldly: "That's it, let's say, how many spiced haggis did the old ten let you bring back?" ”

"Just a bowl!"

Xu Deming raised his cane and was about to beat, but Xu Youcai changed his words and said that he brought a big urn back.

Xu Deming snorted coldly and said: "Rabbit cub, just your little trick and want to deceive the old man, someone has already told me that you brought a big clay urn back and secretly hid it at home, hmph, you still want to swallow it privately, immediately give some to each family, and Guo Fuzi will also send a copy."

Look at your virtue, staring at the little profit in front of you, the little family is stingy, what can you do? I don't want to think about your tenth brother's current momentum, maybe how big an official he can be in the future, you hated him in the village before, and now you are doing some annoying things, do you have pig brains, look at what people do with it? ”

Xu Youcai was reprimanded by Xu Deming, and finally left in a gloomy manner, honestly dividing the big urn of spiced haggis.

……

On the eighth day of the fifth month, Xu Jin took a five-day leave to Zhao Jiaoxi to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and left Shangrao County in a carriage early in the morning.

Originally, Xu Jin's plan was to rent two horse-drawn carriages from the carriage and horse shop, but Fei Hong directly asked Zhao Xing and the other three nurses to drive the two exquisite carriages that the Fei family usually uses, and there was no way to refuse.

As soon as the carriage of Xu Jin and the others left the West City Gate, a fast horse galloped past the official road, galloped all the way for several miles, and came to a stop outside a wood. The knight on the horse whistled into the woods, and a Biao man came out of the woods, about fifteen or sixteen people, all five big and three rough, with fierce expressions, and the water thieves Zhao Baobao and Zou Erliu were among them.

This group of bandits was sent by King Ning Shizi to intercept Xu Jin halfway, and they had been waiting in this forest for a long time.

"Brother Bao, the idea is out of the city, there are ten fat sheep, three have sharp horns, and four are wheels!"

Immediately, the knight said loudly, meaning that Xu Jin and the others had already left the city, there were ten people in total, three armed courtyards, and two carriages.

Zhao Baobao grinned and said with a smile: "The sour man surnamed Xu is quite cautious, and he even brought a martial artist with him!" ”

"Cut, those watchdogs are a fart, I'm afraid our brothers will scare them out with knives." Zou Erliu said disdainfully.

The thieves suddenly laughed proudly, not to mention those three-legged cats guarding the courtyard, even if they were officers and soldiers, they had all been slaughtered, the last time the big boss led people to rush into the lead mountain county to loot, they also participated, and finally returned with a full load, and some people even kidnapped a few young girls of the Fei family to go back to the cottage to play, and now their stomachs are bigger.

Zhao Baobao smiled and waved his sword, and said loudly: "The target this time is the child named Xiao Nu'er, remember not to hurt his life, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World will live, and the little lady surnamed Xie will also be captured alive!" ”

"Hehe, Brother Bao, don't worry, if you don't keep that mother to do a few handfuls, I'm sorry for the stone skin and the iron arm three."

The thieves laughed again, Zhao Baobao slapped the Pu knife on the horse's buttocks, and the horse under the crotch galloped, and the thieves screamed and beat the horse to catch up, and went along the official road to Xujia Village.

This place is too close to Shangrao County, and there are many business travelers and pedestrians in the past, so naturally they can't do it here, so the thieves are ready to find a remote place near Xujia Village to do it.

Jingle Jingle Bell ......

The two carriages drove unhurriedly on the official road, and the small brass bells hanging at the four corners of the carriages rang pleasantly.

The two carriages of the Fei family are very exquisitely made, if the carriages that pull goods are the glory of Wuling, then the two carriages of the Fei family are Porsche-level luxury cars, so Lao Fei gave Xu Jin enough face this time, and it can be imagined what kind of sensation these two carriages will cause when they enter Xujia Village.

Xu Jin, Xie Xiaowan, Xiao Nu'er and Xie Sandao shared a carriage, the two brothers-in-law and Er Niu took another car, and Zhao Xing and the two martial artists of the courtyard were in charge of driving.

The foot of the carriage is much faster than that of the ox cart, and it takes about three or four hours from the county seat to Xujia Village, so before noon, the two carriages returned to the town where Xujia Village is located, and they got off the official road and walked five or six miles to the township road.

At this time, two horse-drawn carriages drove off the official road one after the other, and drove down the rugged, overgrown dirt road into the mountains.

Xie Erjian was sitting in the stuffy carriage, and at the moment he was sitting on the right side of the carriage, with his feet hanging in the air, and a grass root in his mouth, chatting with the martial artist who was driving the car.

On the carriage behind, the two little boys, Xiao Nu'er and Xie Sandao, each occupied the position near the window, lifted the curtain, and looked at the scenery outside with great interest.

Xie Xiaowan was also in a happy mood, and returned to Xujia Village after a farewell for more than half a year, the mountain is still the mountain, the water is still the water, and now Xianggong is already the head of the county test and the government test, and he has the identity of a child. Although it was only half a year, when I think of the embarrassment at the beginning, it feels like a lifetime away.

Xie Xiaowan turned her head to look at the handsome and calm Xianggong who was wearing a child's uniform next to her, and couldn't help but feel full of pride and joy in her heart, this is her own man!

Xu Jin just turned his head to look, the two looked at each other, the little girl suddenly blushed, Xu Jin smiled and held Xie Xiaowan's little hand, as if returning to the cold winter wax moon, although it was difficult, but sweet and warm.

Boom......

At this moment, a string suddenly sounded in the woods beside the road, and a sharp arrow shot like lightning towards the nursing home driving in front.

Xie Erjian, who was lazily and half-lying, had a gleam in his eyes, and he slammed out a palm to knock over the courtyard next to him and get off the carriage, while holding the reins of the horse.

Sincere......

The arrow hit the crossbar of the carriage, and the tail of the arrow shook violently and made a gurgling sound.

Xie Erjian's face changed slightly, he reached out and pulled out the sharp arrow and held it in his hand, quickly rolled down the wheel and hid behind the carriage, bowing his body like an alert cheetah, staring at the wooded slope opposite.

There was a thud in the trees, followed by a murderous rush of thieves, blades glowing chillingly in the sunlight.

"Be careful, there are bandits robbing the road!" Zhao Xing, the nurse, screamed, pulled out a single knife and jumped out of the car.

Xie Yidao slipped out of the car window like a fish, and while looking at the surrounding terrain, he asked in a low voice, "Second brother, how many people are there?" ”

Xie Erjian said calmly: "Fifteen, and there is one archer hiding on the hillside over there!" ”

Xie Yidao frowned, there were too many people, it was a bit troublesome, and the most fatal thing was that there was an archer lurking in the heights.
