The river was very fast, and when the boat boss and everyone heard Pei Ziyun's shout, they all came out to look, and saw Pei Ziyun who was slightly panicked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The boat boss was the most nervous, and hurriedly came up to Pei Ziyun: "Pei Xianggong, who fell down? Can people still see it? Hurry up and say, I'll call someone to save it." ”

The river outside the boat followed the waves, slapping wave after wave, making a gurgling sound of water, and everyone looked at Pei Ziyun.

Pei Ziyun still smelled of alcohol on his body, and said in a deep voice: "I just drank too much, and I was a little anxious, and before I thought about it, I saw this boatman accidentally fall down on the side of the ship, and I must have drunk too much." ”

Pei Ziyun said, and pointed to a hundred meters away from the boat, the boat boss had already prepared, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop the boat, stop the boat, if something happens, catch people quickly!"

Not far away, a black shadow rises and falls in the water, and the sparkling water surface brings a whirlpool from time to time, so that the current is generally very fast, and you can't go directly into the river, you have to tie it with a rope, or take a small boat to get closer, and use a hook to save it.

The boss of the ship was also prepared, and seeing that it was his own person who had an accident, he hurriedly instructed the boatman to lean over and arrange to save people.

The river was panting, just for a short time, and the boatman rushed farther when he fell into the river, Pei Ziyun looked at it, and secretly sneered in his heart, if he fell into the river and drank so much water, he was afraid that he would get sick if he didn't die, and he couldn't pass the state exam, so he couldn't leave sequelae.

The boat drove over, hooked the clothes with iron hooks, and dragged them up with ropes, and the boatman came up with a puddle of water, wetting the deck.

The captain of the boat immediately shouted: "Hurry up and press the water!"

Other boatmen touched it, and felt that they were no longer breathing, and their whole bodies were cold, this boatman was no longer good, but he still rescued, this person was sent by the helmsman, and it was very troublesome to die.

The body of the towed boat was still soft, and the rescue became stiff, and the boat boss felt cold in his heart, this person was not saved, and he sighed and let go of his hand.

The onlookers all felt unlucky, they were going to the state for the imperial examination, and the most important thing was auspiciousness, why did this happen, and this person fell into the river halfway, it was really unlucky, and they all said: "This guy drank on the boat and stumbled, and he deserved to drown." ”

The boat boss was speechless, knowing that this person wanted to harm Pei Ziyun, but he didn't know why he fell into the river, so he had to say: "Ladies and gentlemen, the death of someone is a big deal, so we will stop at the next county seat, invite someone from the government to investigate, wait for the end, and then send you to Dezhou City." ”

Several Xiucai have no opinion, the boat boss sees this, and is secretly happy in his heart, as long as he drags the message to the rudder, he will have no responsibility at that time, as for Xiucai, he can only ask for more blessings.

Just thinking about it, Pei Ziyun sneered: "Boat boss, what you say is not authentic, you clearly know that our exam date is approaching, and we are parked in the next county, and the people from the government come and go, and there are lawsuits, but I don't know if I can catch up with the state exam." ”

All the Xiucai were shocked, they all woke up, and their eyes were a little unkind when they looked at the boss of the ship, if they were really delayed like this, the state test might be delayed, even if it was just a little possible, it was not allowed.

Yu Guangmao sneered: "You cunning, anyway, you said that you only have one day to go to the state city, then go to the state city to stop the boat, and the state city also has people from the government!"

"What Brother Yu said is, do you want to delay my fame?"

One showman, seven or eight showmen, all together is a huge force, the boat boss looked up at Pei Ziyun, and his heart was shocked.

This boatman wanted to harm this Xiucai, but he died, and now he has seen through his own thoughts, and he has doubts in his heart, but the other party is Xiucai, and he didn't dare to say more, so he ordered the boatman to get up and set off.

The sun was hot at noon, and if one person drowned, it was unlucky, and several people's hearts were heavy.

The boat boss smoked a hookah in his mouth, and his heart was also heavy, he sat on one side with his mouth smashed, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart, the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to be more obvious, he smashed his mouth, frowned from time to time, smoked a few hookahs, and only listened to the sound of hookahs gurgling.

The state city is high

Zhang Yuyu and Li Wenjing had arrived at the state capital at this time, and they lived in this view, at this time Li Wenjing smiled: "This view was originally a family, the head of the household had an accident, and it was barren for more than ten years, and the artemisia was full of badgers and foxes. ”

"I bought the door, re-repaired it, and entered it according to the system. ”

"The ancient Tsubaki tree has been relocated, and the foliage is amazing. Boiling tea and talking, listening to the sound of boiling tea in the sun, Zhang Yuyu's face was a little wrong.

Li Wenjing was following Zhang Yuyu to drink tea on the side, and when he saw Zhang Yuyu's expression, he asked, "Is the son worried about Pei Ziyun?" ”

Zhang Yuyu listened to Li Wenjing's words, her eyebrows were a little different, Li Wenjing saw Zhang Yuyu's expression, and smiled: "Don't worry, son, I have sent someone as planned, even if I can't harm him, I can stop him." ”

When Li Wenjing said this, Zhang Yuyu put his mind at ease and drank a cup of tea.

In the afternoon of the next day, the boat drove for a day and a night before arriving at Fucheng, the boss of the boat had a gloomy face, and called the boatman to report the case, and the faces of the showmen were not very good, they did not sleep very peacefully, their faces were a little white, with dark circles under their eyes, and they were sitting around the table on the first floor, waiting for the head catcher of the imperial court.

The boatman went out, and after half an hour, he heard a commotion outside, and when he saw it, the boatman led a catcher towards the boat, and the catcher had a sinister look between his eyebrows, and his face was majestic, and he held the handle of his sword, and followed the two officials.

The official who followed the head catcher, one holding a chain in his hand and the other holding an iron ruler, drove the crowd of onlookers: "Get out of the way, the government will handle the case, don't watch." ”

There were people in the crowd who secretly cursed, and some people discussed, what happened, and the yacha came.

"It must be here to arrest someone, you didn't see the head catcher followed by the yacha with chains. "This head catcher got a report, saying that someone died on the boat, I don't know if it was murder or drowning, this head catcher came with a guy, and I was shocked when I got on the boat, and the people sitting on the boat were all Xiucai, could it be that Xiucai died?

That's a big deal.

Entered the cabin, lifted the white cloth on the corpse, a foul smell rushed to the face, covered his nose and looked at it, it turned out to be a dirty boatman, not Xiucai died, this is a trivial matter, this head catcher turned his eyes, and he had an idea in his heart, to knock and knock the boss of the ship, maybe squeeze some oil and water out.

Thinking about it like this, he asked the official to call the boss of the boat, only to hear the official shouting: "Be bold and make a fool of the people, and you won't kneel down for me when you see the head catcher." ”

The head catcher is not an official, it can only be regarded as an official errand, but in this way, the official errand is very majestic in the lower level, and the official shouted violently, and the boss of the ship knelt down in fright.

Listening to the details of the boss of the boat, it turned out that at noon yesterday the boat caught a big fish, got some wine to entertain Xiucai, and the boatman also went to eat, and fell into the river.

Originally, he was going to report the case locally, but Xiucai didn't allow it, so it was transported to the state capital.

Listening to the words of the boat boss, the head catcher smiled coldly, Xiucai is preparing for the autumn test, how can he let you delay?

The head catcher walked a few steps left and right on the white cloth covered with the corpse, thought about it, turned around, with a fierce light in his eyes, stared at the boss of the ship, and shouted: "Be bold and honest, did you conspire with the boatman to assassinate Xiucai, but something happened and you fell into the river, honestly confess, when I report, I can also ask the master to give you a light hair." ”

The boss of the boat only listened to this loud shout, there was a ghost in his heart, and he was so frightened that his legs were weak for a while, and he was busy kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Lord Catcher, where do I dare to harm Xiucai, this boatman drank too much wine, got drunk and fell into the water, and really don't do my business." ”

The head catcher himself only intends to scare, and when he sees the captain of the boat scared like this, he is happy, it seems to be a soft persimmon, and it is serious to squeeze more oil and water, and drink: "You follow me into the cabin!"

The boat boss was speechless for a while, so he had to follow in, and listened to the catcher and said with a smile: "But this matter is between Ling Mo and Ling, if you are willing to give money, Xiucai will be fine, I can dredge up and down for you, and avoid this crime, otherwise you will be in big trouble." ”

The boat boss was originally a shrewd man, and at the beginning he had a ghost in his heart to scare him, but now when he heard this, his heart suddenly brightened, and he didn't suspect it at all-too, Xiucai was fine, just a lowly boatman!

The boss of the boat wiped a cold sweat and asked, "My lord, how much does it take?"

Listening to the words of the boat boss, the head catcher stretched out five fingers, and he was shocked when he heard the boat boss: "Five taels?"

After saying that, he sat down on the floor.

Catch quickly glanced at it and frightened: "Five taels, not much, or you will get into a lawsuit, but it won't be five taels that can be solved." ”

After a while, the head catcher came out with a smile, and when he arrived in the hall, he bowed to Xiucai and gave the case a given: "You are frightened, it is a boatman who drowned after drinking, it is not a big deal, the case is closed." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, please excuse me. ”

After saying that, he said goodbye, got on the pedal, and was satisfied to play with the five taels of silver in his hand, far away from the boat, the head catcher threw out two five coins of broken silver to the two officials behind him: "I came out with the master to fish for oil and water, and this bit of silver is for you two brothers to eat, but don't say much about this." ”

The two officials were busy to thank and be grateful.

Pei Ziyun had prepared a lot of words, ready to deal with this head catcher, but he didn't expect that this head catcher not only closed the case hastily, but also very politely, and only asked a few casual questions to himself, and suddenly his eyebrows relaxed: "It seems that even if this matter is in the past, I am not an ancient person, and I don't really understand the power of fame!"

"This is still a showman, if you win the lift, I'm afraid you won't even ask. ”

Just thinking about it, seeing that the matter was over, the showmen all packed their bags and left separately, but this delay came to the evening.

Pei Ziyun got off the boat, and when the night gradually rose, he saw the passengers on the passenger ship next door, and felt strange, so he went up and asked, "Is there still a boat going at night?"

There was a boat boss out of it, the boat boss had tanned skin, and when he saw someone coming, he hurriedly greeted him, saying: "Naturally, there is, from the side of the house down the river quickly, the water is flat, and it will be twice as fast to go up to the county below, and it will be there in a while." ”

When Pei Ziyun heard this, he thought to himself: "Hey, God help me, remember that Li Wenjing's place of residence is downstream, not far from the shore." ”

He took a deep look at the passenger ship and left.
