A knife in love

Chapter 1112

Hearing what Li Qiufeng said solemnly, the short fat man thought for a moment, and said, "Are those people you mentioned including your Uncle Liu?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said: "Master, although my disciple doesn't think so about Master Liu's actions, I do know that he has some unavoidable difficulties. If you say that he cherishes his wings and wants to stand up for his family and disciples, there is no objection. But if you say that he Thinking about changing the dynasty and setting up another emperor, Master Liu would never make such a risky move with his resourcefulness. He is a scholar, although he has been in office for many years, he is still rich in clothes and food every day, and his children and grandchildren are full. Therefore, even if the world is turned upside down, Emperor Jiajing is removed, and a new emperor is established, it will not be of any benefit to Master Liu. Not to mention how dangerous it is to change the dynasty, if one is not careful, Master Liu will be wiped out. How can Uncle Liu be willing to do such a thing that has no benefit but only risks?"

The short fat man chuckled, and said: "Let those minds do these important affairs of the court. We only need to go back to Mount Qingcheng and be a hermit in the mountains. How carefree. Don't bother with these mundane things in the world. "

Since the old man surnamed Huang knew that these fans were not here to trouble him, he was also relieved.As soon as the Humpty Man finished speaking, the old man continued, "But the fans are following us closely. It is not an easy task to get rid of their pursuit."

The short fat man smiled and said: "Even if they are tigers, it is still more difficult to catch an ant than climbing to the sky. Old Huang, you just keep your heart in your stomach. Leave the outside things to me and Feng." Go do it."

Just as the fat man finished speaking, he suddenly heard the boatman say from outside the cabin: "Master Li, we are about to arrive at Sunjiapu. Shall we go to the pier to rest, or go all the way to Leshan?"

Li Qiufeng didn't answer, but turned his gaze to Humpty Humpty.Humpty Dumpty said: "Things have to come to an end. If we want to go to Leshan, we still have to walk dozens of miles. Why don't we go ashore at Sunjiapu and meet the leader of Fanzi. If you have something to say, you might as well speak kindly." Let me be clear. If Fanzi is arrogant, I have to fight him a few tricks. I want to see how much the Dongchang masters in the world are afraid of like snakes and scorpions."

Li Qiufeng nodded, turned around and walked out of the cabin.He stayed in the cabin for a long time, when he came out at this moment, he felt the white light was dazzling, and hurriedly closed his eyes.The boatman stood still under the mast, still holding on to the sail rope tightly.Seeing Li Qiufeng walk out of the cabin, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said in his mouth: "Uncle Li, I saw that there are more and more people on both sides of the strait, and I think it is not far from Sunjiapu. The boats behind are very tight, so it is better for us Go ashore at Sunjiapu and report to the officials at the yamen, I don't know what the uncle thinks?"

Li Qiufeng turned his head and looked, only to see that those big ships were still following fifty or sixty feet away, almost covering the entire river, and the momentum was extremely alarming.The sun rose from the east, and thousands of golden lights shot from the back of the big boat onto the river, making the scene in front of Li Qiufeng both spectacular and strange.

Li Qiufeng looked at it for a while, then turned his head and said to the boatman, "Let's go ashore at Sunjiapu, and then we'll make a fuss about it."

The boatman breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned, and said, "This is the best! As long as we report to the officials, we won't be afraid that these guys will make things difficult for us."

After walking for more than half an hour, I saw many houses appeared on the bank on the right side ahead, and countless boats of various sizes were parked on the bank.The boatman shouted happily: "Here we are! It must be Sunjiapu! This place is under the jurisdiction of Yuanhua County, and the magistrate's yamen is here. After we landed, we went straight to the yamen to report the crime. No matter how cruel these thieves are, they will never dare Let's besiege the county government in broad daylight?"

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, not to mention the county yamen, even the yamen of the prefect of Chengdu prefecture would not be able to stop these Dongchang fans.It's just that you can't tell the truth to the boatman right now, otherwise you will have to scare him into unconsciousness.Therefore, after listening to the boatman, Li Qiufeng just nodded, but did not answer.

After another incense stick, the boatman turned the sails slowly while ordering two boatmen to hold the rudder.As the sails turned to the left, the bow slowly turned to the right, heading straight for the shore.When the Minjiang River reached Sunjiapu section, the surface of the river widened and the current eased up a lot. When the big ship changed direction, it was not considered bumpy.It's just that the river is wide and the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the sails of the boat are rattling by the howling wind, which sounds quite thrilling.

The boatman and two boatmen carefully steered the wooden boat, and slowly drove into the boats moored on the shore.While carefully turning the sail rope, the boatman sailed forward among the dense wooden boats, and said to Li Qiufeng: "I heard that Sunjiapu is the largest wharf on the Minjiang River, which is almost on par with Yibin Mansion. After seeing so many boats, I believe that the legend is not false. The pier is so big, and the town is even bigger. Since the government has set up a yamen here, there are naturally a large number of people, and we don't have to be afraid of those chasing soldiers. .”

After a while, the big ship finally sailed to the shore.I saw people coming and going on the shore, which was very lively.Everyone thought, no wonder Sunjiapu is so famous, at a glance, the scale of this wharf is definitely not smaller than Yibin Mansion Wharf.

The big ship had just stopped when a boatman ran to the bow and grabbed a bundle of ropes from the ground.He kept turning the end of the rope above his head with his right hand, fixed his eyes on a stone pillar on the bank, and let go of his hand suddenly. With a sound of "huh", the rope flew out of his hand, and the knot of the rope just caught the stone pillar. .At this time, another boatman also ran over from the stern, and the two of them worked together to grab the rope and pull it hard.The big boat slowly approached the stone wall on the shore, and two boatmen tied the rope to the wooden stakes at the bow of the boat until it was far away from the stone wall, so that the big boat stopped on the shore.

The boatman turned his head to look, but saw that the chasing ship was blocked by dense wooden boats, and could not dock for a while.He hastily said to Li Qiufeng: "Uncle Li, quickly ask the two old men in the cabin to come out, and we will go to the yamen on the shore to report to the officials."

Before Li Qiufeng could answer, he saw figures flickering, and the short fat man and the old man surnamed Huang had already walked out of the cabin.The short fat man said as he walked, "I don't need your invitation, old man, I came up by myself."

The boatman wanted to escape the danger, but he just stuffed the broken silver and copper coins into a bag wrapped around his waist, and he didn't even have time to get the clothes for a change of clothes, so he kept urging everyone to go ashore.The old man surnamed Huang looked at the boxes in the cabin and hesitated a little.Humpty Humpty knew that he was not willing to part with the relics of these magongs, so he comforted him: "Those people are looking for us, not your box. After we get rid of them, it will not be too late to come back to get the box. "

At this time, a boatman had built a two-foot-wide plank on the bow, and put the other end on the shore.As soon as the board was set up, the two boatmen rushed to the shore.The boatman originally wanted to run to the shore, but just stepped on the wooden plank with his right foot, but stopped, turned around and said to Li Qiufeng and others: "Three gentlemen, let's go first."

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "Uncle, go first, and we will go ashore later."

The boatman didn't give in, he walked quickly onto the plank, and trotted all the way to the shore.Li Qiufeng asked the short fat man and the old man surnamed Huang to go first, and he followed behind.After everyone arrived on the shore, the boat owner had already asked a passerby where the yamen was.He urged repeatedly, and said in his mouth: "The Yamen is less than two miles away from the wharf, turn from the front to the right, and keep walking along the main road, and you will arrive at the Yamen."

Li Qiufeng and others hurriedly left the pier with the boatman, then turned right into a street.I saw people coming and going on the street, there were taverns, tea shops on both sides of the road, and there were many hawkers selling sweets and cakes. It was really lively at first glance.The boatman was anxious and wished he could step into the Yamen with one foot.It's just that he was afraid that the pursuers would catch up, so he kept turning his head and looking around while walking.However, there were too many pedestrians on the street, which blocked his sight, and he couldn't see if there were any pursuers coming.

After walking for more than half a mile in this way, an entrance to an alley appeared on the left.The boatman had already inquired about the way to the Yamen, so he kept his eyes on the sidewalk while walking, and did not pay attention to this alley.When Humpty Humpty was walking, he looked around and saw that the alley was quite deserted. His heart skipped a beat and he winked at Li Qiufeng.Li Qiufeng walked quickly to the boatman, grabbed the boatman's left arm with his right hand, and said, "Uncle, let's take a step to talk!"
