All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 781: Blocking the pier

This was to prevent the major docks in Quanzhou from being enforced before it was too late, allowing Xie Fu to escape from the docks by boat.

The Liangzhou Army pretended to be thieves. Even if the Xie Mansion was suspicious, there was no evidence. He could blame the Xie Mansion for disturbing the public order in Quanzhou and escaping without any reason.

The spy thought for sure: "Your Excellency is wise."

Jiazhou Mansion looked at the growing fire and ordered the guards around him: "Immediately mobilize manpower, evacuate the people, isolate the fire area, and mobilize the people to assist the government in extinguishing the fire. Otherwise, once the fire spreads, the consequences will be disastrous."

Waiting for the fire to spread and waiting for His Highness to take control of Quanzhou, the black gauze hat on his head was destroyed first.

Yin Shi carried Yu Youyao on his back and ran towards the city gate quickly. Yin San and Chunxiao were waiting behind. The wind was screaming in their ears, and there was a chill that stung people's ears and made their faces numb.

Yu Youyao looked back in the direction of Xie's Mansion. The sea of ​​fire lit up the night, and there was a lot of noise in her ears.

Before she decided to set the fire, for a brief moment, Yu Youyao thought like lightning. The high wall of Xie's mansion was made of green bricks, which could isolate the fire. The house occupies a large area, and it would take some time for the fire to spread out of the house and close to the house. Cut down the flowers and trees to isolate the fire area so that nearby residents will not be affected.

At the city gate, Yin San took the token from Prince Wu Mu's Mansion.

The soldiers guarding the gate saw that they were acting suspiciously and even had a lot of blood on their bodies. However, the token from Prince Wu Mu's palace could not be faked, so they did not dare to stop them and quickly opened the city gate to let them out of the city.

After leaving the city, Xie Mansion arranged for people and carriages to pick them up.

When Yu Youyao learned that her great-grandfather and uncle had left the secret passage and rushed to the dock, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "We have prepared clothes on the carriage. Take the time and change your clothes first. Jiazhou Mansion will definitely try every means to get there as soon as possible." Ahead of us, the major docks in Quanzhou are under martial law and the speed of the carriages is limited. We must hurry up and board the ship first."

Yu Youyao changed into a green jacket and skirt, and a waist-length chinchilla fur cloak. She simply combed a single snail and fixed it with a hair tie. She took a handkerchief and dipped it in water, and wiped her face clean. Sure enough, she saw the above , there are faint blood stains.

She pursed her lips. She didn't know how many people who escaped from Xie's mansion could escape alive, and ordered the people who took care of them.

After several people changed their clothes, Yin Shi immediately unloaded the carriage. There were just two horses, so it was suitable for them to share one.

This was Yu Youyao's first time riding a horse. Yin Shi sat behind holding the reins and held her in his arms. With the howling cold wind and the strong bumps of "ta da da da", Yu Youyao's heart almost jumped from his throat. When he came out, the soft flesh on the inner thigh was scratched by the bumps, causing sharp pain.

But she remained silent.

When the horse gradually stopped, Yu Youyao's face turned pale, and she was lifted off the horse by Yin Shi. Her legs were soft and numb, and she could not even stand.

Chunxiao was startled when she saw her ugly face: "Miss..."

Because she was not clear about the situation at the dock, Yu Youyao stopped her words and said, "Yin San will go to the dock first to inquire about information and see the situation."

After a while, Yin San left and returned: "The pier is not under martial law yet."

Several people finally breathed a sigh of relief and rode to the dock without any delay. Officers and soldiers came over to check.

Yin San took the token from King Wu Mu and announced that many areas in the north were suffering from drought. King Wu Mu used some military supplies to help the victims and sent them to Quanzhou to purchase and sell some military supplies.

With the token in hand, the officers and soldiers did not dare to stop him.

Yu Youyao boarded the pier. There was a merchant ship parked on the pier. In order to avoid attracting attention, Xie Mansion specially changed it to a relatively old and low-key merchant ship.

Xie Jingliu stood guard on the deck and quickly stepped forward to pull Yu Youyao aboard: "Is everything okay?"

Yu Youyao shook her head: "Grandpa, uncle and the others are all on board?"

Xie Jingliu nodded: "They have already boarded the ship. The secret passage from home leads directly to the outside of the city, which saves a lot of travel. They are all waiting for you. It's windy outside, so hurry in."

Yu Youyao quickly got into the boat. The whole family of the Xie family was waiting in the cabin. Seeing Yu Youyao get on the boat, they inevitably felt like they were surviving a disaster.

I thought that the plan to evacuate Quanzhou was foolproof, but unexpectedly, the news got out and the Jiazhou Prefecture sent people to kill him.

Old lady Xie hugged Yu Youyao and cried, regretting leaving Yu Youyao behind.

Wang also wiped away tears.

Yu Youyao comforted her grandmother and aunt, and then mentioned that she had set fire to the house.

The days she lived in Xie's Mansion were the most leisurely and comfortable days in her life. Now that it was reduced to ashes by fire, she felt uncomfortable.

It's hard to leave my former residence, and it's hard to leave. Everyone in the Xie Mansion can't help but feel sad.

But he also knew that in that situation, setting the house on fire and making a fuss could make Jiazhou Mansion put a rat-proof weapon in place, so that the young Yao'er could escape smoothly, and Xie Mansion could escape smoothly.

Mr. Xie sighed softly: "It's lucky that Xiao Yao'er is fine. It's better if the house burns down, so as not to take advantage of Jiazhou Mansion and ruin the good house."

Old lady Xie took Yu Youyao's hand: "The house is gone. We will build it again in the future. The most important thing is that the family can stay together. Don't think too much."

Mrs. Wang also said: "We have left Quanzhou. It is not certain whether the house will belong to our family in the future. If it is burned, it will be burned."

Everyone tried to comfort Yu Youyao, for fear that Yu Youyao would feel uncomfortable.

In fact, they were the ones who suffered the most. Yu Youyao changed the topic: "Those who stayed in the house all escaped separately. Wait for half an hour and we will set sail as soon as the time is up."

Xie's Mansion turned into a sea of ​​​​fire, and Jiazhou Mansion would definitely not send anyone to pursue him. As long as the man was still alive, he would definitely be able to get there within a few hours.

In the next period of time, people came one after another.

The first to arrive were the fifty elite soldiers under Yin Huaixi's command. The fifty men had experienced hundreds of battles. Although some were injured, they all survived.

About ten people from the nursing home who were staying at Xie Mansion also came over.

However, before half an hour had passed, officers and soldiers shouted loudly from the pier: "There is an order from the Yamen of the state government. There are thieves sneaking into Quanzhou City to kill people and set fires. Starting immediately..."

Before the officers and soldiers could finish their words, Xie Jingliu ordered in a deep voice: "Set the ship!"

"...Seal all docks in Quanzhou, large and small, and make every effort to capture bandits. No merchants or merchants traveling on ships are allowed to enter or leave the docks. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished as bandits."

As soon as the words on the shore finished, the two-story building boat rushed away from the dock like an arrow from the string.

The officers and soldiers on the shore noticed something was wrong, raised the volume, and shouted: "What are you doing? Stop the boat, stop the boat quickly. Didn't you hear the order from the state government office?"

The merchant ships leaving the dock ignored the warnings of the officers and soldiers.

"People on the boat, please listen to me. Quanzhou Pier has been closed and no one is allowed to leave. Stop the boat immediately, otherwise we will be punished as bandits."
