Yuxi fell into deep thought. After thinking for a long time, she said to Zijin, "Zijin, you go to the Fu family and invite the girl from the Fu family to come over. Zijin asked, "Madam, what will Fu Qingluo do? "
Yuxi said, "Go and invite her in person, just say I have something to ask for." She is also not safe here, so she definitely can't mobilize people to go. The only way is to seek foreign aid, but this foreign aid is so easy to find.
When Zijin heard the words "begging for something," he widened his eyes and asked, "Madam, would you ask Fu Qingluo to go to Zhuangzi to protect those children?"
Yuxi said: "Last time she offered to teach those children, although she was selfish, she could also see that she had a kind side. I begged her this time, she should not refuse." Since these children were accepted by her, Be responsible to the end.
Zijin didn't refute, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go now." I just hope that Fu Qingluo really has this idea, don't let Madam down.
Yuxi touched her stomach and said softly, "I hope your father will be safe."
An hour later, Fu Qingluo followed Zijin to Yunfu. Fu Qingluo looked at Yuxi and asked: "Zijin said you have something to ask me?" This is really rare. Han Yuxi also asked her when he didn't expect it.
Yuxi talked about the fire in Zhuangzi’s upper granary: “I prepared the grain in the granary for the children. Now it’s a problem that these grains have been burned out of the children’s rations.” Yuxi is a cautious person. She had already thought of such a big movement when she was buying food, and it would definitely attract the attention of the Xu family and others. In case of popularity, Da Nian burns the granary, then the children's three meals will be a problem. Food is not very easy to buy in times of war. At that time, most of the grain left on the Zhuangzi was hidden for precaution, and only a small part was left there to hide from people's eyes. I didn't expect that something went wrong with the granary.
When Fu Qingluo heard this, her face was very ugly: "Who? Who dares to burn the granary?" In Yucheng, food is equivalent to life, especially during wars. These people are really hateful.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "I don't know this, but I am worried about the safety of these children. I don't know many people in Yucheng, so I want to ask you for help."
After hearing this, Fu Qingluo didn't hesitate at all, and said: "What do you want me to help you? As long as I can do it, just speak up!"
Yuxi said: "I can't mobilize manpower here, so I want to ask you to help protect the children in the village, and then help buy some food. Now the food is all burned. If you don't buy food, so many children will have to suffer. Hungry.” Nowadays, the price of food was even more expensive when she bought it. She said that one price per day is not exaggerated.
Fu Qingluo heard this, and said without thinking: "This is okay." This matter is not difficult for her. Since it can help, she definitely can't refuse.
Yuxi handed Fu Qingluo a silver slip of one thousand taels and said, "I don't have much money on hand. You can take this first. You can buy as much food as you can. If it is not enough, I will think of a solution." Excluding the sixty thousand taels of silver given by Qiu's family, Yuxi really didn't have much money on hand.
Fu Qingluo was not hypocritical, and took the silver note and said, "Don't worry, I won't let these children go hungry."
Yuxi said gratefully, "Thank you."
Fu Qingluo waved her hand and said: "At this time, you can ask me for help. That's worthy of me. I won't say those polite remarks. I will go back to fetch things if there is nothing else." The so-called fetching is not only about clothes, but also take money.
Yuxi sent Fu Qingluo to the gate and said, "Those children, please." This is the shortcoming of the shortage of manpower. When the child is born, she has to choose a few people who can use it. In case of an emergency, Don't ask for help.
Back in the inner courtyard, Yuxi went into the Buddhist hall again. Before entering, she said to Ms Qu: "There is nothing important, don't disturb me." From yesterday to today, she has been restless, and Yuxi intuitively felt that Yun Qing was out there. Problem. But now there is no definite news, she can only rely on chanting to get rid of the anxiety in her heart.
When Han Ji arrived at Zhuangzi, he thought it would be chaotic. But after entering Zhuangzi, he realized that it was completely different from what he had imagined. Zhuangtou Lian Daxin is instructing people to clean up the burned warehouse. There are more than 20 and a half children in these people.
Han Ji was not angry because Lien Da Messenger called these children to work, but was very pleased. We should let these children know how difficult it is for Madam to support them. In this way, they will be grateful. Han Ji walked over to Lian Zhuangtou and said, "All the grain in the warehouse is burned?" Although all the grain was not put in the granary, there were thousands of catties of grain in it!
Lian Daxin said with a heavy face: "The grain in the granary has been burned, and all that much grain has been turned into ashes. These bitches are raised by the gods and are not afraid of thunder." Even Daxin is also in the Yunqing army camp. The veteran also retired injured. He was not married, had no children, but had a good relationship with Hao Dazhuang, so he came here to be the head of the bank. For these veterans, there is nothing more hateful than burning grain.
Han Ji said: "The family members of the deceased should be comforted."
Lian Daxin smiled bitterly and said, "I don't have a family, just prepare a few good coffins for them." The few people who kept food were all homeless and young.
Han Ji's expression was also very sad, and he said, "Have those arsonists confessed yet?" Han Ji is not stupid. If these people can be sent to do this, they must be caught. Woolen cloth!
Even Daxin shook his head and said, "No, I vomited blood and didn't say anything. What's your order?" Madam must have ordered something such a big deal. Speaking of which he was ashamed, but his wife gave him such an important matter, but something went wrong.
Han Ji shook his head and said, "Ms. said that if there are parents, the children will be sent back if they are willing to go. If they don't go back, they can continue to stay in Zhuangzi."
Even Daxin was very convinced of Yuxi, and only a kind-hearted man like his wife would pay to take care of these children who have no parents or mothers: "This matter will be handled later. Han is in charge, the wife has said to deal with it like this. How many prisoners?"
Han Ji didn't want to let people know that Yuxi was a cruel person. It was not easy to run a good reputation, but it was only a blink of an eye to ruin the reputation. In order to preserve Yuxi's good reputation, Han Ji said, "No, Madam will leave this to me. But I think, since they like fire so much, let them have fun!"
Even Daxin is not stupid. If he is stupid, he can’t choose to manage Zhuangzi. Hearing these words, he said: "Doing work means burning?" Seeing Guanshi Han nodded, even Daxin said: "Is burning, it's a waste of firewood! "Although I said so, I still ordered to go on.
Not long after Han Ji dealt with the prisoners, Fu Qingluo arrived. Seeing Han Ji, Fu Qingluo said: "Your wife has handed over the affairs of Zhuangzi to me. You can go back now."
Han Ji glanced at Fu Qingluo, nodded and said, "Then there is girl Lao Fu." There are a lot of things in the mansion, he can't get rid of it, and he doesn't worry if he is not in the mansion. As for these children, as long as they are not frantic and cause public outrage, they should not be poisoned.
Han Ji didn't encounter any accidents on the way back, and returned to the mansion safely. At this time, Yuxi had already come out of the Buddhist hall, and was talking to her mother Qu. When she saw Han Ji, she asked, "How is the affairs of Zhuangzi handled?"
Han Ji said: "There are even Zhuangzi's affairs, and he handled them very well. Later, Miss Fu came over and said that she took over the Zhuangzi's affairs, and I came back."
Yuxi feels that Fu Qingluo is really rude, but this is not the time to care about this thing: "I asked her to help." Yuxi didn't say more, Han Ji needs to report many things to her, but She didn't need to explain to Han Ji so clearly.
Han Ji didn't continue to talk about Zhuangzi's affairs, and said, "Madam, I think we should buy more grain and store it!" The grain is kept in mind to be at ease.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Buying grain is too eye-catching. We have saved a lot of grain before, so we don’t have to worry about buying grain. However, the grain that was brought in before must be preserved and cannot be destroyed by others. As for the Zhuangzi Don’t let the wind out of the hidden food."
Han Ji nodded and said, "Okay."
The next four days were calm. But Yuxi was not calm at all, spending most of the time in the Buddhist hall chanting sutras. Even if she knows that Yun Qing will return safely in the end, she can't settle down to do other things. Only when she is chanting can her heart be calm.
After being chased by the Northern Captives for four days, Yun Qing lost nearly half of the four thousand people who ran out. At this time, only over two thousand troops remained.
Huo Changqing and Yun Qing said: "There are still three days and four days away from Yucheng, and we don't have much dry food. If this continues, we may not be able to escape either." Not only people are exhausted, but also horses. Can't help it. Once caught up, there is a dead end, even if you do not die, you have to become a prisoner.
What Huo Changqing meant was to make someone pretend to be Yun Qing and then flee in the direction of Yucheng. Yun Qing led a small group of people to flee the trail, so the probability of escaping is also high.
Yun Qing refused without even thinking about it: "No, our military strength was already insufficient, and it would be even more dangerous if we disperse our troops again."
Hearing this, Huo Changqing was silent for a while and said to Yun Qing: "I can return to Yucheng safely this time, and I can no longer show mercy to Qin Zhao's men. I believe that even if Marshal Qin is under Jiuquan, he can't blame it. is you."
Yun Qing nodded and said, "Uncle Huo, don't worry, this is the last time." His previous concessions were due to Marshal Qin's kindness. But this time Qin Zhao violated his bottom line. For the sake of the more than 10,000 soldiers who died unjustly, he could no longer tolerate Qin Zhao.
Yu Cong ran over and said, "General, the chaser has caught up again, and it is less than ten miles away from us." The chaser is strong and morale. They are too exhausted to flee and don't have enough food and drink. In this case, it is naturally easy to be caught up.
