Chapter 523 Boss Xu: Dad, I’m going!
Be fully prepared!
This word is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do it.
After all, plans never change as fast as they should.
No matter how wise you are, it is impossible to take into account all changes in any situation.
"Little sister, what are you preparing for?"
Boss Xu's face was filled with misery. In his current situation, what preparations could he make? No matter how many backup plans he had, he would be caught as soon as he reached the capital.
"Of course, call the second brother back first!"
Fubao smiled slightly.
Indeed, no one has considered all the changes, so Fubao's idea is to break all the barriers with one force. And this "force" naturally comes from her second brother.
"Okay!"
Boss Xu was speechless.
But this is the only possible situation now.
After all, their father, Mr. Xu, is seriously ill in bed right now.
Therefore, only Boss Xu can take action in this matter.
Of course, Second Xu could go, but considering the long-term and flexibility, only First Xu could go.
As for Xu Laosan, in the eyes of some people, he may not be important enough.
In fact, what Fubao didn't say explicitly was that she was also planning to quietly follow her elder brother to the provincial capital.
She is now much stronger than when the Jieyundao sent assassins to kidnap her.
Most importantly, she was still a child.
No one would have thought that a child like her could pose any threat. She might even be used as a hostage by some people to threaten her brothers.
"Dad, should we tell my uncle about this?"
After deciding to let his eldest brother use himself as bait to go to the provincial capital to cause trouble, Fubao looked at his biological father, Mr. Xu.
"Bao, do you think you should say it?"
Mr. Xu couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
Because of his mother, Mr. Xu had no good feelings towards his maternal grandfather's family.
Even after knowing the truth and reading the letter his mother left him, Old Master Xu still couldn't get over it. He even kept the letter his mother asked him to pass on to his uncle, never giving it away.
Mr. Xu himself is quite conflicted now.
Intellectually, he knew he shouldn't blame or feel resentful, but he was still conflicted in his heart.
If you put yourself in his shoes, if someone forced him to give up Fubao, he would rather die with honor than live in disgrace.
It is true that the pain of surviving is worse than death, but he still will not choose to endure the humiliation. He would rather perish together with his enemies.
"Dad, I think I still need to say something!"
Fubao blinked and whispered, "We don't have many relatives anymore!"
She could sense her father's dilemma, but she had no intention of trying to comfort him.
Don’t advise others to be magnanimous unless you have experienced their suffering.
However, under the current circumstances, Fu Bao felt it was necessary for the Zhao family to be prepared. As the current situation developed, it would be difficult for them to coexist peacefully with the imperial court.
If something happens to their family and Emperor Yongping vents his anger on the Zhao family, then it really means that if I don't kill Bo Ren, Bo Ren will die because of me.
"Boss, then, go tell your uncle!"
"Okay, son, I'll go right away!"
Boss Xu nodded in agreement and then walked out.
After Boss Xu left, Fubao immediately approached Old Master Xu and whispered, "Dad, are we really going to rebel?"
"This, Dad doesn't know either!"
Mr. Xu had a bitter face.
If possible, he naturally did not want to rebel.
Wouldn’t it be great if everyone could live a good life?
But if there is no way to survive, he will not sit and wait for death.
"Baby, this isn't something a little girl like you needs to worry about. Daddy is here to take care of everything!"
Old Master Xu patted Fubao's head and said, "Be good, go play!"
Fubao hummed twice, then left and went to play.
…
As said before, plans are not as good as changes.
While Boss Xu was waiting for Second Xu to return, someone rushed to Lingshui Village from the provincial capital.
The families of the employees of Old Xu's rice shop who were arrested by the prefectural government came to Lingshui Village together and begged Old Master Xu to rescue their families.
"Dad, I'm going!"
Seeing so many people coming to his door, Boss Xu naturally couldn't delay any longer.
After meeting with Old Master Xu, he prepared to go to the provincial capital to fall into the trap.
It’s just to make fishing bait, what’s the big deal?
"Brother, let me go!"
Just when Boss Xu was about to go out, Third Xu suddenly jumped out.
"What are you going to do?"
Xu Lao Da rolled his eyes at Xu Lao San and said, "Just stay home and do your job!"
Xu Laosan rolled his eyes. He really didn't find any work that couldn't be done without him.
"Brother, you are the eldest son!"
"roll!"
Boss Xu kicked Third Xu on the butt. "Can you talk? From the way you talk, it sounds like I, your big brother, will never come back. Get out of here now, or I'll kick you!"
Xu Laosan looked miserable. How could he have meant that?
However, Boss Xu obviously had no intention of slowly breaking up with Old Third Xu.
"Third brother, stop making trouble!"
Fubao stepped forward and grabbed his third brother, "Big brother is right, there are things you need to do later."
"What do I do?"
"Adding fuel to the fire!"
Fubao chuckled.
If my eldest brother goes to the capital, he will definitely be arrested. At this time, someone needs to fan the flames in secret.
Think about it, if the eldest son of the Xu family, who shed blood for the Tang Dynasty and provided affordable rice to the people of Xiangyi Prefecture, was arrested on trumped-up charges, what would the people think?
Well, maybe most people don’t dare to do anything, but there are always some brave ones.
The most important thing is that the garrison troops of Xiangyi Prefecture had previously been restrained by the 3,000 elite troops led by Xu Yan. However, Boss Xu, who had led them to fight against the Northern Barbarians at Huangfengkou, was also captured. This is something worth talking about.
When Xu Laoer, the brave and incomparable Earl of Battle, shows up again, it will be a direct crushing defeat!
The people's hearts seem hard to come by, but they are actually not hard to come by.
From ancient times to the present, all the people want is to have food to eat and clothes to wear.
The capable and wise rulers of all dynasties have basically achieved this to a certain extent.
Late spring cold spells mean natural disasters.
The affordable rice from Xu’s Rice Shop means having enough to eat.
Now Xiangyi Prefecture is closing down the rice shops of the Xu family on a large scale, which is undoubtedly making it difficult for the people to eat enough.
If people don't have enough to eat, they will go crazy.
Boss Xu left his house and, with a few simple words, appeased the many people who had come to the Xu family in Lingshui Village to seek help. Then, the group set out on the road back to Linyao, the capital of Xiangyi Prefecture.
This trip will either be calm or full of storms.
Boss Xu understood, and so did the many people traveling with him.
But everyone has no regrets.
