The process of everyone's escape is actually very similar.
Lin Jiren was a doctor. When he saw a seven or eight-year-old child fainted on the roadside, he went to save him. However, the child smashed his head with a stone and a piece of dry food was robbed from him.
Brother Lin got into a fight with a strong man who came up to grab the package. The man probably wouldn't survive. Brother Lin was injured a little and couldn't eat because he killed someone. It was a miserable journey.
Mr. Song was robbed to death and was hit on the head with a stick. He is still groggy and looks a little bad.
The two families have a tacit agreement not to ask Fourth Master and Lin Yutong where their money comes from. This kind of thing will probably not be a pleasant memory. It is the same as the Song family robbing dead people and property. Among the corpses floating in the water, which one does not have belongings on them?
of.
A horse cannot fatten without night grass, and a man cannot make a fortune without windfall.
When it comes to life and death, there is no moral bottom line.
After two days of nursing, the person was almost recovered. However, Lin Jiren wanted to move out.
"We still have some money..." Before Lin Jiren could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yin Laoer, "Let's not talk about going out. In the county, I didn't go out. In this world, living together can only
We take care of each other."
"Let's get through this winter first." Fourth Master said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Feng hurried in, "Fourth Master, Master Hu is here."
This is about Hu Da.
The fourth master said to Lin Jiren: "My father-in-law lives in peace, I'm afraid the situation outside will not be good."
Yin Laoer and Lin Jiren looked at each other and realized that begging for a meal in the capital was not that easy.
Lin Yutong followed Fourth Master to the front. Hu Da met the two and said, "Have you heard? There is another uprising in Changyun County."
This is already the fifth piece of news like this that I have received in the past few days.
"Changyun County is too close to the capital..." Lin Yutong glanced at the fourth master, "The capital is probably in danger."
Hu Da asked again: "I heard that food has been shipped from the Beijing-Tianjin port?"
The fourth master and Lin Yutong looked at each other, and then the fourth master hurriedly asked, "How did you know this news?"
Hu Da was stunned and said, "Don't everyone know this?"
How could such an important matter lead to such a quarrel that everyone knew about it.
This is not right! It must be wrong!
If food is shipped, it affects the food supply of so many people in the capital, how come everyone knows about the clamor.
Fourth Master glanced in the direction of the city wall, "Have the victims outside the city begun to leave?"
Hu Da was stunned, "That's right! People started to leave slowly last night."
Of course we have to leave. We will go wherever there is food.
But if the imperial court really wanted to provide disaster relief, it couldn't act openly and honestly. Why would it spread such news to lure away the refugees?
"Tune the tiger away from the mountain." Fourth Master said.
Lin Yutong looked at Fourth Master in astonishment, "Want to run away?"
Boss Hu looked at Fourth Master and then at Lin Yutong, "What? Why do you want to run away?"
"There are rioting people everywhere, aiming directly at the capital. Your Majesty and the court officials want to move the capital! Run south." Lin Yutong whispered.
The fourth master nodded. The treasury in the city was empty, there was no grain in the granary, and the autumn taxes could not be transported in. The victims outside were besieging the city, and the people inside could not get out. The emperor in the palace did not know the situation of the garrison in the city, but those
Your honorable minister knows it.
Their lives are precious, so why would they stay and take risks? None of these families has a population of hundreds. Crossing the river and migrating south is the inevitable way. The Yangtze River is blocked by the natural moat, which is a natural barrier.
The look on Fourth Master's face was very strange. Lin Yutong couldn't even decipher this expression.
If you read history carefully, you will find that most of the changes in political power in ancient times were the northern power that unified the southern power. Only Zhu Yuanzhang was a special case, but the situation at that time was different. The northern power that Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with was the Yuan Dynasty, which was a foreign race.
Therefore, not being able to escape at this time is tantamount to self-destruction.
The Fourth Master turned to look at Lin Yutong. This time, Lin Yutong understood what the Fourth Master meant. What he wanted to say was, 'God cannot take the blame for his actions.'
In fact, until now, Lin Yutong was still covered up. Everything changed so fast that she had no time or opportunity to understand the current situation in the court. They were about to run away.
Neither Fourth Master nor Lin Yutong spoke here, but Hu Da was angry.
The nobles ran away, but they, the defenders of the city, could still run away? These people were the first to be hit. They also had small families. Once the capital fell, they would not talk about their own lives, but the mother and wife at home.
Sisters and daughters, this will all suffer.
"Go to hell!" Hu Da cursed through gritted teeth. Nobles, the rich and powerful can run away, but where can they go, the common people who have no money and have families to take care of?
Fourth Master whispered: "Brother Hu, please tell the brothers to be more alert first. Isn't this all speculation? I will go to Commander Pang first to ask about the situation..."
Lin Yutong quickly asked: "Is one hundred taels of silver enough?"
"Add that piece of blood stone as well." Fourth Master turned around and said.
The couple discussed the gift giving in front of Hu Da, and Hu Da immediately said: "For the sake of our brothers, I have asked you to spend money again."
"What are you doing out here like this?" Fourth Master said, standing up to get his cloak, "How about we go together?"
Hu Da shook his head. He had to show filial piety once and for all, he had reached this point. Of course he didn't want to spend money anymore. There would be many places to use money in the future.
"No! I'd better call the brothers together to discuss it." Hu Da said and left.
Li Jian was waiting by the door and sent the person out now.
The fourth master went to Commander Pang, of course, not to inquire about news.
Lin Yutong prepared a big box for him and said, "Bring a few more people with you."
The Fourth Master responded, turned around and walked out the door.
Yin Laoer was sitting at the door, doing nothing. He watched the people in the family coming and going, no one knew what they were busy with. It was only less than a month after they were separated that his son and daughter-in-law were unrecognizable to him.
Everyone who came in and out called him "Old Master", and he was used to it after a few days of wandering around. Just when he was about to get up and go for a walk on the street, he saw his own Shiro coming out again.
Wearing a brocade robe and a cape with a large fur collar, it swayed in the wind.
Followed by four or five young men, all of them are extremely capable. If you don't know the details, you will never know that this is a kid who grew up herding cattle. How come he is more majestic than those young men from rich families in the blink of an eye.
"Dad! Don't go out these two days. Just play at home." The fourth master said before going out and getting on his horse.
Yin Laoer couldn't help but responded. He didn't react until he saw Fourth Master walking away. He couldn't help but muttered: "You brat, your wings are hard, why don't you ask me to play with you? I'm just kidding! You can face me at home!"
Your mother, no one said a word when she spoke."
If I had grandchildren, I would still have something to rely on. But when I think about it, it won't work. In this world, children and the elderly suffer the most.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of the old man and the old lady. I don't know what happened to them now. If the hidden food was not discovered and eaten secretly, they could survive the winter.
Entering from the courtyard, there are people guarding the door of the study, so you can't approach it for leisure. This rule is very strict, as if he has read many books.
At this moment, the fourth master was sitting opposite Commander Pang, and he knew more or less. The Pang family was obviously packing up their things at home and outside, and they must be leaving.
"Haha... Fourth Master?" Commander Pang's words were a bit sarcastic, "Who in Beicheng doesn't know your Fourth Master's name? I wonder why Fourth Master is here today?"
I have only been here a few days, but I have gathered the people below me into submission. If you are capable, you are capable, but this is a taboo in official circles. You are more patient than your boss, so why do you need me?
Fourth Master put the box on the table and opened the lid. The bright yellow color almost blinded people's eyes.
Commander Pang immediately sat up straight and stretched out his hand. Fourth Master closed the lid with a snap and pressed his hand on the box.
"How?" Fourth Master looked at Commander Pang.
Commander Pang leaned back in his chair and said, "The things are naturally good things."
Fourth Master nodded, "Look at Commander Pang, how big of an official can this thing buy?"
Commander Pang immediately looked at the fourth master as if he were a fool. At this time, gold and silver were the only things that could save his life. He originally thought that the fourth master was seeking a qualification to go south. Unexpectedly, he actually wanted an official position.
Did you take the wrong medicine? Are you stupid for wanting to be an official?
"Beijing official?" Commander Pang asked.
The Fourth Master nodded and looked at the chair under Commander Pang's buttocks, "How do you like this position?"
Commander Pang immediately looked at him, and when he saw Fourth Master knocking on the box with his hand, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
The fourth master pulled the box into his arms and said, "If you don't want to let it go, the infantry battalion has four commanders, namely, southeast, northwest and northwest. I think the others will be very interested."
"Wait a minute!" Commander Pang pressed his hand on the box again, "Add another box, and I will give you the position of commander-in-chief."
In addition to the admiral, the infantry commander's yamen only has two general soldiers below it. One general soldier is in charge of the defense of the four-nine cities, and the other is in charge of inspections, night patrols, bans, security guards, arrests, hearing cases, and criminal prosecution.
The position of Commander-in-Chief? What a loud tone! Fourth Master couldn’t help but take a breath.
Commander Pang sneered in his heart, the water in these forty-nine cities has become deep. Whoever sits on it now will be in the crater. You, a brat who has only been in the capital for a few days, dare to stir up the water in the capital. I am not afraid of killing you.
, just give it a try. See if you can cure those scoundrels below.
Fourth Master tapped his hand on the box, "Two boxes, the defense of Sijiu City belongs to me."
This time Commander Pang was stunned. He couldn't help but look more solemn, "Whose person are you?"
Fourth Master smiled and said nothing.
Commander Pang stood up and paced around the room, "I thought it was just a bunch of people, but I didn't expect there were some people with brains. These shameless bandits!"
The fourth master didn't defend himself. He thought he was one of the bandits who started the uprising. He thought that when he bought an official position, he would do it to be an inside job.
This conjecture, combined with my own identity, is the most reasonable.
