Long live the general

Huo Yi originally wanted to go alone, but Huo Lingyue must follow. She pulled Huo Yi's cold robe, looked up at her little uncle, and tightly pursed the corners of her mouth.

There is a reliance that wants to be concealed in the eyes.

Huo Lingyue has never met her parents since she was born, and the Huo Mansion is also in the most precarious time.The whole Huo Mansion was in turmoil, and no one cared about her. In this environment, Huo Lingyue grew up slowly, like a sapling growing out of a crack in a rock.She didn't have any relatives around her. Although grandma was gentle, the madness hidden under the calm cast a shadow over the entire Huo Mansion.Although the Huo Mansion still has a local sheriff handpicked by the emperor, there is no one in the Huo Mansion who can speak.

Her world is full of dark tones. She knew her life experience very early, and those people outside were full of malice towards her.Although the Huo Mansion can take care of her life, no one can give her spiritual support.

She can't rely on Cong Yunmeng, who is mentally unstable. If a person has no one to help her up when she falls down, and no one to dry her tears when she cries, she can only learn to get up on her own. cry again.

Huo Lingyue often thinks that those children are so stupid to cry for their father and mother whenever something happens.

……

The people in the Huo Mansion taught her how to address her father and mother, but she had no impression of her own parents, no matter how Cong Yunmeng described them, no matter how lifelike the portraits were, she could not give her any real feeling.

It was someone she had never met, talked to, or hugged.

As soon as she was born, they died.

Huo Lingyue and Huo Yi grew up in completely different Huo Mansions. She was only eight years old. Before that, no one taught her how to do things.

Huo Yi had no choice but to take her with him. When it was daylight, they found the child's place.

The child is only nine years old, and he lives in an ordinary family outside Chang'an City.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and people avoided this family far away. Huo Yi looked around, pulled Huo Lingyue calmly and said, "You wait for me in the carriage."

Huo Lingyue probed to go down: "What's the matter?"

"Be obedient." Huo Yi pressed his little niece on the car, and Huo Xiaoman walked to the door of the farmer's house. A pool of dark red blood was printed on the fence. The courtyard door was wide open, and there was overwhelmed grass in the corner, and the blood seeped into the soil , spread all the way out.

Started quickly and handled very rough.The owner of the farmer came out to open the door and was killed on the spot, and then the murderer dragged the body away, probably throwing it in a mass grave.

If the people don't raise officials and don't investigate, no one will take care of this kind of matter. Even if it is reported to the county magistrate, the Wang family can suppress this matter.

The fog in the morning filled the air, Huo Yi wanted to go in and have a look, but suddenly saw a furtive figure looking in the distance, seeing Huo Yi looking over, the other party hurriedly ran away.

"Catch him!" Huo Yi sternly said, no matter who this person is, he must have something to do with this matter.

Huo Xiaoman ran out like flying, and quickly entered the forest.His martial arts were taught by Huo Yi, and the man was easily caught in a hurry, and he screamed in despair.

Huo Xiaoman caught the man back, and the man struggled desperately, his dry hair was messed up on his face.

"Let go of me! Let me go!" The sharp voice pierced the eardrums, shrill and desperate, mixed with a few broken-voiced curses.

It was only then that Huo Yi realized that the other party was actually a woman. He signaled Huo Xiaoman to let her go, but the woman did not run away, but instead rushed towards Huo Yi, with a pair of crazy blood-red eyes in the messy black hair.How could Huo Xiaoman tolerate someone hurting the Patriarch in front of him, so he immediately drew his sword.

The woman was just an ordinary person, Huo Yi dodged her attack, and pressed down Huo Xiaoman's sword, allowing Huo Xiaoman to restrain the woman again.

The woman knelt on the ground, raised her face and stared at Huo Yi angrily.

Huo Yi said: "I am the governor of Xihe County, who are you, why are you peeking there?"

The woman didn't speak, she struggled a bit, because Huo Xiaoman was trying to attack Huo Yi just now, and Huo Xiaoman pressed her tightly.

Huo Yi squatted down, looked at her at the same level, and asked slowly: "What is your relationship with this family?"

"This is my home!" the woman yelled sadly, tears rolled down without warning, and there was still fear hidden in her anger: "You killed An'er, you killed my husband, and you still want to kill me... ..."

In just one day, her life changed drastically. Her son and husband were killed one after another. She just came back from visiting relatives that day, and saw two strangers appearing at the door of the house. They killed her husband as soon as they met, and then took the body away.

She didn't dare to appear, and chased the two people all the way, and heard them talking about the prime minister's son. The matter was very simple, and a few words were enough to piece together the truth, but she never imagined, how could such a peaceful farmer like herself offend the high-ranking prime minister? .

"They should be damned!" The one who spoke was Huo Lingyue who ran out of the carriage. She held on to Huo Yi's clothes tightly and looked at the blood on the ground tremblingly: "Why, why!"

For Huo Lingyue, she could only repeat angrily, why, why can the prime minister manipulate the life and death of a family so casually!Murder is a crime, anyone should be punished, but they can even kill the victim without scruple.

This is still under the city of Chang'an!

Huo Yi held her in his arms and said to the woman: "This is my niece. After the prince trampled on your child, she stopped the prince. Let's talk in the carriage, maybe I can help you."

The woman stared at them in surprise, her eyes wandering between Huo Lingyue and Huo Yi.

In the end, the woman got into the carriage and sat in the farthest place, tightly against the wall of the carriage.

"Can you really help me?" the woman asked softly.

Huo Lingyue: "Yes! My little uncle is Huo...!"

"Depends on the situation." Huo Yi has a headache. Although Xihebian County is a big official in charge of local administration and appointments, and has an army in his hands, he may not be able to speak in Chang'an.

The woman's reaction was unexpected, she asked: "Huo... Is it General Huo...?"

In her tone, she suddenly revealed some relaxation and trust.She didn't know where Xihe was, and she didn't know who the governor of Xihe was, but she knew that General Huo, even after ten years, was still an indestructible wall in the hearts of the people of Dayue.

The woman told Huo Yi exactly what happened.

Her name was Qing Niang, and she followed the two men to watch them throw her husband's body on the graveyard.She thought about going to the police, but she saw the two murderers outside the county magistrate's mansion, laughing and talking with the people inside.Desperation swept over her heart in an instant, and Qing Niang fled in a hurry, wandering in the forest all night.Her heart was full of sadness, anger and confusion, she didn't know what to do next, she was afraid of everyone in the government, when Huo Xiaoman grabbed her, Qingniang already had the idea of ​​death.

Huo Lingyue was furious when she heard it, and grabbed Huo Yi: "Qing Niang saw it with her own eyes! Her testimony is always useful!"

"It's very dangerous for Qing Niang to testify in court." Huo Yi said, "What's more, even if there is a testimony, the murderer is not necessarily a member of the prime minister's family."

Huo Lingyue said: "But just now Qingniang said that they killed people for the prime minister..."

"The murderer who kills for the prime minister is not necessarily a member of the prime minister's family. It may be just to please the prime minister..." Huo Yi held his little niece's hand, but it was a pity that his own hand was colder and unable to convey the temperature: "Have you seen the street?" Are the vicious dogs on the road, the owner has not yet expressed his opinion, but they have already bared their teeth and pounced on the target. Some dogs are not even raised by him, and they are willing to take the initiative to do something to please him."

"Prime Minister Wang's family has many dogs like this. Outside, there are many wild dogs courting him."

Huo Lingyue's eyelashes trembled, Huo Yi's cold hands had hard calluses, his voice was very calm, Huo Lingyue blessed his soul, and said: "So the county magistrate, Zhi Jinwu, and Ting Wei are all the prime minister's dogs? "

Why should you be a dog if you are not a good person.

"Zhijinwu and Tingwei are not enough." Huo Yi didn't want to say too much, Huo Lingyue was only eight years old, and when he was eight years old, he was still going to the house to uncover tiles, climb trees and steal eggs. Under Huo Fengnian's protection, he did not die Growing up heartlessly, that memory continuously gave him strength, enough to support him to face any difficulties.

He hopes that Huo Lingyue can maintain a kind and righteous heart, but at the same time not to do things too extreme.I hope she knows some rules and can protect herself, but I don't want her to be exposed to too many dark things.I hope she knows the lies and deceptions of the world and stays on guard, but I also hope that Huo Lingyue can communicate with people sincerely.

Huo Yixin thought that raising a child would be more difficult than managing Xihebian County, so he said, "You go to the academy and leave this to me."

Huo Lingyue didn't want to go to the academy, so she asked: "What are you going to do, can you arrest the prime minister and bring them to justice?"

"Qingniang's situation is not safe, I want to resettle Qingniang first." Huo Yi believes that, compared with what has happened, how to deal with the current situation is more important.

"Where's the prime minister?"

Even if there are witnesses and evidence, Ting Wei can easily pick up the prime minister and the prince.The point of this matter is not the truth, but other aspects.

Huo Yi ordered Huo Xiaoman to drive the carriage directly to the direction of the academy, and said, "Go to the academy first..."

"What's the use of going to the academy!" Huo Lingyue persistently wanted to know the result.

"You should not take care of this matter. A child's duty is to study." Huo Yi sighed: "And when the accident happened yesterday, you should have been studying in the academy. Huo Lingyue, did you skip class from the academy?"

Huo Lingyue's face turned green and pale, she stopped talking and stared at the carpet of the carriage.Soon they arrived at the academy. Huo Lingyue confronted her little uncle in the carriage for a while, snorted coldly, and jumped out of the carriage.

Huo Yi sighed, and said to Qing Niang: "I will put you in a safe place for the time being, and don't open the door to anyone who comes to you except me and Huo Xiaoman. If you want to avenge their father and son, just listen to me."

Qing Niang agreed with trepidation, and Huo Yi arranged her in a small yard, gave her some money, and got Huo's servants to watch her.
