After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 102 What I experienced in Ganzhou
The Hai family's trip went quite smoothly.

They walked for several days from Suzhou to Gaotaisuo.Although we had seen the sand bandits and horse bandits from a distance during this period, probably because of their large numbers and many tough guards, no one dared to rush up to rob them. They just stayed behind from a distance until they Until we get close to the inn or garrison fortress where we spend the night.

Ma was a little frightened. She asked her granddaughter to get in the car several times, but Haitang didn't agree.

If a robber really comes to kill him, hiding in the carriage may not be safe, and he may become a living target.But she was riding on a horse, with a whip in her hand and a bow and arrow hanging by the saddle, so she was able to protect herself and resist at the same time.If she couldn't help it anymore, she could still run away.Hiding in the carriage, it was inconvenient to escape.How to choose? Does she still need to hesitate?

Fortunately, the horse bandits never approached them, and they were very careful. They would rather travel through the night and stop at a post station or garrison fortress instead of staying in the wilderness.When there were thieves nearby, they would even have lunch on their horses or in the car.Since they didn't have time to boil hot water for food and the weather was cold, they could only eat dry food and drink some cold water and wine.

After passing Gaotaishuo, the situation improved a lot.Along the way from Gaotaishuo to Ganzhou City, there are many post stations, garrison fortresses, villages and towns, and the security conditions have been greatly improved.In the past few months, Gaotaisuo became a place for peace talks between Chu and Hu. To prevent any accidents, many people from Ganzhou's Five Guards raided the area and almost wiped out all the sand and horse bandits.Even if there were any remaining men and horses, they stayed far away and did not dare to act like monsters on this border army's territory.

The Hai family, together with two caravans and an escort team, checked into the large car shop in Gaotaisuo. They breathed a sigh of relief, washed and ate and drank well, rested for a night, and then set off again.

After leaving Gaotaisuo, they encountered autumn rain, but fortunately, it was almost evening when the rain came down. They quickly found the nearest garrison fortress, and they had a place to shelter from the rain and stay overnight, without having to suffer the wind in the wilderness. It rained.

When they arrived in Ganzhou City, they stayed for two days. On the one hand, they were given medicine by Xiao Shitou, who was showing signs of windchill in the autumn rain, and on the other hand, because a caravan accompanying them planned to enter Ganzhou. A batch of goods, this was all agreed upon before departure.

Hai Xiya, Xie Wenzai and others took the opportunity to visit a few acquaintances they had met when they lived and worked in Ganzhou, and did not forget to greet General Zhou, the commander of the Shaanxi Xingdu Command Department.General Zhou was a little regretful that Hai Xiya could no longer stay and work under him, but he was also happy to see that he and Xie Wenzai had the opportunity to return to the Central Plains.

He advised Xie Wenzai, Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian: "I know you have suffered a lot in these years, so you are all a little discouraged. But it is very hard for Minister Tao to support the court alone. If you can share the burden for him One or two, he will surely have an easier time.”

When Xie, Cao and Lu heard this, they all looked hesitant. Thinking of their friends in Beijing, they all felt a little guilty.

When Hai Xiya and others visited General Zhou, Hai Jiao also found an excuse and obtained permission from his grandmother Ma. He left the inn alone and walked around the streets for a few times. When he got home, he was already dying. blacken.Hai Xiya and the others were back, and Ma was greeting the waiters at the inn to bring dinner to everyone's room. Seeing that her grandson came back so late, she couldn't help but complain.

Hai Jiao was a little absent-minded. After dealing with his grandmother, he returned to his room, sat down and sighed.

Haitang ducked into the room and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what's going on? What did you go out to do today? Are you looking for your old friend from your previous life?"

Hai Jiao said with some frustration: "I'm not surprised that Prince Yingchuan hasn't come yet. But even the doors of the hundreds of households where the wife stole from are closed, and the neighbors say that his family has moved away. This is too much." Are you unlucky? I have never heard that when their family left Ganzhou, it was probably because the outcome of the Battle of Suzhou was reversed, and the personnel here in Ganzhou also changed, right?"

In this way, those hundreds of households didn't know if they would ever find out that their wife had committed adultery, let alone whether he would kill his wife and implicate Prince Yingchuan.Haijiao missed an opportunity to save people and perform meritorious service while climbing up to the capital. How could he not feel regretful?Haitang comforted him and said, "It's okay. Isn't our family like Mr. Tao? It doesn't matter if there is one less Yingchuan Hou Shizi. Since the murderer has moved away from Ganzhou, General Zhou will not be blamed for it again. He committed a murder and was implicated and lost his official position. This is a great thing!"

Hai Jiao thought for a while and nodded: "That's right. Now it's more important to protect the Zhou family first. As long as the Zhou family can continue to speak the truth in the northwest, and Master Tao is in the court, it doesn't matter if there is one less Yingchuan Houfu. important."

Haitang smiled and said: "Okay, let's go to eat quickly. If you wait any longer, grandma will come to the door soon!"

Hai Jiao burst into laughter, took his sister and went to his grandparents' room to have dinner together.

Ma actually went out today, taking Aunt Cui to visit some old neighbors, chatting about daily life and reminiscing about separation.However, the old neighbors had been separated for a long time, and the friendship had already faded. Ma did not stay at other people's homes for too long, and came back before lunch.It’s just that she heard a lot of new things from her old neighbors and couldn’t help but share them with her husband and grandchildren.

Not to mention the gossip about the East family getting married, the West family having children, the Nan family breaking up with their in-laws, and the Bei family breaking up again, Ma made special mention of one piece of news about the "Kan family": "The Kan family lives in the back On the east side of the street, when Dingcheng's wife gave birth to Baoshun, Mrs. Kan came over and gave her some ginseng tablets. Master, do you still remember? His son made a lot of news a few years ago!"

Hai Xiya nodded: "Of course I remember. Lao Kan's family is an old family in Ganzhou and a hereditary family. They often dealt with me in the past. But I heard at the health office that Lao Kan and his wife disappeared a few years ago. , leaving only this son. What happened to his son? "

Ma then vividly told a story about "the son resisted marriage for his true love, but his parents had no choice but to accept it after being diagnosed with Qi".

The only son of the old Kan family is named Jinbao. He has been favored since he was a child and has always wanted the stars but not the moon.Neighbors nearby felt that the Kan couple doted on their children too much, but the person involved didn't think there was a problem.

Kan Jinbao didn't have any problems in the past. He practiced riding and shooting hard since he was a child. When he grew up, he filled the gap of the Ganzhou Guard. He looked promising.His parents were even more happy when they saw this, and planned to find him a good match.But before his parents could select the daughter-in-law they wanted, Kan Jinbao fell in love with the bartender in the tavern on the street and insisted on marrying her.How are the Kan parents happy?They were so angry that they both fell ill. After all, they couldn't resist their precious son and reluctantly arranged a happy event for him.

When the daughter-in-law here came in, she probably resented her parents-in-law for disdaining her before and made them angry in secret or overtly.Kan Jinbao has been training outside all year round, and he doesn't know whether he is really unaware of it or not, but he didn't react at all.Within two years, the parents of the Kan family passed away from illness, and the Kan family became the exclusive center of Kan Jinbao and his wife.It is said that all the servants and housekeepers in the family asked to leave in just one year, and now the new hires are all those hired by Kan Jinbao's wife.

The old neighbors thought they were ridiculous.But Kan Jinbao is no longer as respectful to them as he was when he was a child, and his wife is even more indifferent to them. What can they do?

The Shaanxi Dusi is now deploying manpower from various health stations to Chang'an to learn how to grow new grains. Kan Jinbao didn't know what his wife said, so he voluntarily gave up his good military position and asked himself to be transferred to Chang'an. I'm afraid his wife didn't like it. Chang'an is prosperous, and the pillow wind blows.

Haijiao had eaten and drank enough, and was listening to his grandmother's chat without saying a word. When he heard this, he suddenly stopped.
