Chapter 207 Ordered to return to Beijing
Seeing Fahai leaving, Monk Lerong invited the two to go to eat vegetarian meals together.
Guo Hao helped Guo Yongning up and walked to the dining hall with Rong. Before he could enter the door, he smelled a scent.
Guo Yongning is right. The vegetarian rice here is indeed delicious and rich. It is obviously vegetarian tofu, but it is a rare delicacy. Guo Hao also ate a lot.
Realizing that this temple was not simple, Guo Hao also put away his contempt and accompanied Guo Yongning to burn incense and fulfill his wish after dinner, and then donated fifty stags of incense and oil.
He went to find the old monk Fahai again, but he didn't know where he went. Guo Hao didn't see him in the Zen room. He wanted to inquire, but he was a little guilty. He was afraid that Fahai would tell his secret.
"Brother Hao, Master Fahai said he would not be able to see you again in the future. What does this sentence mean?"
Guo Hao shook his head. He didn't know what was going on. He just thought that monk was too evil and wouldn't meet.
The two stayed in Lanyin Temple for a whole morning and walked back in the afternoon. As soon as they arrived at the mansion, Guo Hao received an imperial edict from Guo Wei, asking them to return to Beijing to get married!
...
After staying in Hedong for more than half a year, he couldn't come back during the Chinese New Year. Guo Hao finally had the opportunity to go home, provided that he and Guo Yongning got married.
Guo Yongning did not go with him, and followed the eunuch who was passing the message back first. Guo Hao arranged military and political affairs in Hedong, and then left to return to Beijing.
This time he dared not refuse because Liu Song came to tell him that if Guo Hao refused, he would demote him to a border soldier, confiscate all his property and demote all his family to slaves.
Guo Wei's move is ruthless. Guo Hao has been in the Five Dynasties for more than ten years before he has achieved his achievements today. Guo Wei's words will deprive him of everything, which is forcing him to make a decision.
It is a thousand miles away from Taiyuan to Bianliang. Guo Hao and his group are riding horses, so the speed is not slow.
Under Guo Wei's governance, people's livelihood was gradually recovering. Along the way, the farmers had smiles on their faces.
"This is all thanks to Your Majesty. A few years ago, I went to Jiangnan and died of hunger all over the country along the way, without any roosters crowing thousands of miles away. Where can I see the peace today?"
Li Hui nodded when he heard this. Before he joined the Beggars' Sect, he was a refugee from Zhengzhou. Later, he came to Bianliang and was valued by Ang Lee, and later followed Guo Hao.
"Yes, for several consecutive years, too many people have starved to death. My parents and two brothers have all starved to death. If it weren't for the old leader, I would probably not have lived now."
Li Hui was a little sad. Guo Hao patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "I heard from my father-in-law that he intends to accept you as his adopted son and ask you to be the deputy leader. Why don't you?"
Li Hui smiled and scratched his head and said, "Li Hui has never forgotten his life-saving grace, so how dare he climb up?
What's more, following the young master is much more interesting than being a deputy gang leader. Deputy gang leader Ma is very busy every day, and I don't want to be like him."
Guo Hao chuckled and said, "You kid are smart. You know you have a good life with me, so you don't have to worry about it. But this is not a good thing. You still have to experience it if you have the chance."
"Thank you, my master, for your advice, I will work hard."
Guo Hao patted Li Hui on the shoulder again, and looked at the sunset in the distance. They had been out for ten days and could reach Bianliang in another five days.
But as he approached Bianliang, Guo Hao suddenly felt a little nervous. After marrying Guo Yongning, he was the son-in-law of the current dynasty, and he didn't know that he was right and wrong.
Now that I have encountered this group of private salt dealers, how could Guo Hao let them go?
"I didn't say that the goods are left and the people can leave!"
Kong Mingyue knocked on the ground and said, "Please ask Mr. Guo to give the Salt Gang a way out!"
When the disciples of the Salt Gang saw Kong Mingyue like this, they looked at Guo Hao with a bad look, but Guo Hao was unmoved and was still drinking tea leisurely and contentedly.
Kong Mingyue kept kowtowing, but Guo Hao seemed to have not seen it. Several disciples of the Salt Gang couldn't stand it anymore, so they stepped forward to pull Kong Mingyue up.
"Miss, isn't it just a beggar's sect? What's the big deal? Everyone is poor. Why do you do this to yourself?"
After a disciple finished speaking, Li Hui and the Beggar Gang disciples all laughed, looking at the disciples of the Salt Gang, their eyes full of disdain.
"You, I've fought with you!"
As he said that, several disciples of the Salt Gang rushed towards Guo Hao. Without even raising his eyes, Li Hui and his two subordinates pulled out the swords from their hands and killed several members of the Salt Gang in a few seconds.
"You, you dare to kill people in the street!"
The other disciples of the Salt Gang were frightened. Although they carried weapons, they were only used for self-defense. They did not dare to kill anyone unless they had to.
"No, come back soon!"
At this time, bloodstains appeared on Kong Mingyue's forehead, but she didn't care and anxiously took care of the disciples of the Salt Gang.
"What's wrong with killing people? You sell private salt and commit a death sentence. My son is the governor of Hedong. The son-in-law of the current dynasty. What's wrong with killing a few death row prisoners?"
Li Hui put away his knife and told Guo Hao's identity. Guo Hao frowned. The identity of Hedong Jiedushi is enough, why should he add a prince consort?
