Chapter 385 The hero's stumbling block on the road to escape from the famine 36

With the escort agency's convoy along, the journey was safe and without any problems. Apart from eating and sleeping, we basically did not stop on the way, and arrived at Fanyang County City on the seventh day.

Looking at the towering city gate in front of me, the horse-drawn carriages, ox-drawn carts, donkey-drawn carts coming in and out, and the endless stream of pedestrians, I was a little dazzled for a moment.

This was not only Xiao Yun's first time to come to such a big city in this world, but also the first time for several members of the Gu family. Before, only Gu Lanzhang had been to the county town when he was a child. Their children had never even been to a county town, let alone a county town.

We followed Yu Haisheng's convoy through inspection and paid to enter the city. The entrance fee here is not high, only ten cents, the same as in Yangji Town.

After entering the city, they followed Yu Haisheng to his escort agency. They had accepted his invitation before and agreed to go back with him first, take a good look around the city, and then decide whether to stay here.

The Haisheng Escort Agency is located in the south of the city, not far from the South Gate, and can be reached in a few minutes. It is a five-courtyard building facing the street. To have such a large courtyard on the county street, the family must have some wealth.

Yu Haisheng took them directly to a courtyard at the back which was specially used to entertain guests. There were four bedrooms in it, which was more than enough for their family.

Xiao Yun and the others were not polite to him. They had become familiar with each other along the way. If they stayed here, they would have many opportunities to deal with each other in the future. It would be too tiring to be too polite.

It was already afternoon when they settled in, and Yu Haisheng asked his family to prepare a banquet to welcome them.

"This is my wife, Mrs. Li, my two sons, Yu Sizhi and Yu Sicheng, and my daughter, Xiner.

The three of you come and meet Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu, three brothers and two sisters."

Yu Haisheng introduced the two parties, the first part was spoken to the Gu family, and the second part was spoken to his own children.

"Hello, sister-in-law. We are sorry to bother you by coming here without any prior notice."

"Hello, auntie, hello, brothers and sisters."

"Hello, auntie, hello, brother and sister."

"That's not right, sister-in-law. I got along well with you the moment I saw you. I welcome you to my home. It's been a long time since our home has been so lively..."

"Hello, Uncle Gu, Hello, Aunt Gu, and meet my three brothers and two sisters."

"..."

The two sides greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries before sitting down.

When eating, there was only the sound of food and wine being served, but no chatting. We only continued chatting when we finished the meal and drank tea.

The eight children soon became familiar with each other and started chattering. The Yu brothers and sisters talked about the county town, and the Gu brothers and sisters told them interesting stories about their hometown and what they saw on the road. Both sides listened with great interest.

The four adults also started chatting, but they were talking about what had happened recently in Fanyang City.

"Are you saying that this captain was suddenly replaced without any sign before?"

After listening to Li's talk about the major events that happened recently in the county city, Gu Lanzhang couldn't help but ask.

Yu Haisheng and Xiao Yun could not help but frown after hearing this. The captain was the general of the county garrison and had a lot of military power in his hands. Although the military and political affairs should be under the control of the county magistrate, most of the real power in the military was still in the hands of the captain.

It is obvious that this captain's term of office has not yet expired. There have been no major changes in the court recently, and the new military examination has not yet begun. How could he be replaced easily, especially when the captain has not done anything wrong?

Li nodded, "It was a sudden change. It was said that the governor issued a transfer order to transfer Captain Chen to Yuzhou Prefecture.

I heard this from my aunt the day before yesterday when I took the children back to the old house to pay my respects to my mother. My aunt must have heard it from my uncle, so it can’t be false.”

Xiao Yun thought about it in his mind. The county magistrate is equivalent to the mayor, the captain is equivalent to the director of the Public Security Bureau, and the provincial governor is equivalent to the governor. In theory, he should not have the right to transfer the captain. Of course, the systems of each imperial court are different, but perhaps this is possible in this world.

If it was just about using connections to get promoted, then there wouldn't be any problem. But I don't know if there are any other hidden secrets. After all, this is a turbulent time.

In addition to this, the number of defenders was also expanded, and it was said that their treatment was also improved, with 10% more food and wages than before. Because of this, many people in the surrounding areas responded positively, and some families with many sons even came with two or three.

Because of this situation, Xiao Yun released Lao Hui and Xiao Lin on the way back to the yard after dinner and let them investigate what was going on.

If there are any problems, they can't stay here and need to make plans early.

After returning to the courtyard where they were temporarily staying, Xiao Yun and Gu Lanzhang went back to their room.

Now that there are so many houses, the family definitely doesn’t have to sleep together anymore.

Xiao Yun and his wife live in one room, Gu Mingyue and her sister live in one room, and the three brothers live in one room, but there is still one room left.

There are fire pits here, so it's not crowded for several people to sleep on.

They were quite tired after the journey, so they went back to their rooms after dinner to rest early.

This was the first time Xiao Yun and Gu Lanzhang were alone together, but they didn't feel awkward. After all, they had been eating and living together for such a long time, so they were kind of used to it.

However, the two of them did not plan to do anything. After all, they were in someone else's home and they were somewhat cautious. So they just lay on the kang and talked about what had happened before.

Gu Lanzhang and Xiao Yun had the same idea and both felt that there might be something wrong here.

Although they had thought about staying in Fanyang County City before, the prerequisite was that it had to be safe here. If there was really a problem, even if they wanted to achieve great things, they could not ignore their own safety.

I heard from Yu Haisheng before that his uncle, Hu Youxu's father, was a deputy general and was highly appreciated by the captain. They had a good relationship and it was very likely that he would become the next captain after the other party stepped down or was promoted.

But now a new captain has been parachuted in. As the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers. No one knows what the relationship between the two is like. What if they are hostile? If they rashly join the Hu family camp, they will be putting themselves in danger.

If the governor personally made the move, then he must have connections with both sides, and his backing must be very strong. These all need to be taken into consideration.

However, the two of them could only analyze the situation and did not make any rash decisions. They still had to go out and inquire about the details and see the situation first.

Soon, Xiao Yun no longer had to worry, because Lao Hui and Xiao Lin brought back news that the new captain was actually A Yuan!
