When Wang Laosi heard Wang Xi say that they had boats, he asked, "How many boats do you have?" Wang Xi said: "I have two big boats, I don't know what the strong man is asking for?" Wang Laosi directly put the knife on Wang Xi's neck, and then said to everyone: "Folks, just now we killed the Manchurian Tartars, the government will definitely not let us go, and now that there is a big official of theirs here, we will directly use this official to carry us away." ”

Another man said: "Yes, we are here to kill the Manchu Tartars, they will soon come to arrest us, we will use their official ship to leave." Another said: "Zhang Dabing, what you said is good, where are we going?" This is the Qing soldiers, don't talk nonsense. ”

Zhang Dabing retorted: "You dog's Liu Tiezhu just said nonsense, this is what Wang Laosi said to take a boat." Wang Laosi also made a mistake and said, "Yes, where are we going?" Dog's day Tartar they have horses, we definitely can't run. ”

At this time, Wang Xi said: "If you don't take a boat and run upstream, I just saw those flag soldiers with white flags going downstream, they must be going to move rescue soldiers, and if you can't go downstream, you can only run upstream." Wang Laosi said: "You said that it is light, but where can we run upstream?" Wang Xi couldn't laugh or cry, and rebelled and asked the court officials where to run. But now his life is in the hands of others, so he has no choice but to say: "You can escape into Poyang Lake upstream." ”

Zhang Dabing immediately agreed: "Yes, Wang Laosi, let's go to Poyang Lake, as long as we go to Poyang Lake, no one will catch us." Liu Tiezhu also said: "This method can be used, and we can still fish on Poyang Lake for a living at that time." ”

Just do it, and immediately Wang Laosi beckoned everyone to go to the wharf, ready to take the Qincha boat to Poyang Lake to settle for the grass. Wang Xi thought that he was a court envoy and now sent a group of people to Poyang Lake to fall into the grass to be bandits, no matter how he looked at it, it was awkward, but now there was no way to kill with the knife in the neck.

Everyone escorted Wang Xi all the way to the river, and the officials who stayed on the official ship saw a large group of people coming from the shore, and rushed to the official ship with knives, and were so frightened that they even shouted to the boatmen to start the boat, but at this time the people who went ashore did not come back, and some boatmen went ashore to replenish food, and without the boatmen, the ship could not be driven for a while. When the group of people got closer, the official realized that Lord Qincha was also in the crowd.

The official took a closer look, and was so frightened that he almost peed his pants urgently, it turned out that Qin Cha still had a knife around his neck, and then he heard Qin Cha shouting: "Stop the boat and let everyone go up." The boatman, who was about to sail the ship, heard the shouts of the chincha and hurriedly stopped, but the official ship stopped before it could start moving.

Wang Laosi took people on the boat, only to find that the boat was indeed very large, and a total of more than 100 of them were not crowded on the boat at all. There were more than 50 people on the shore behind, probably afraid that the Qing soldiers would come to retaliate. Wang Laosi arranged them on the second boat and asked Zhang Dabing to take people to the second boat to watch. At this time, the boatmen who went ashore heard that the murderer had been killed, and they all rushed back to the boat, but when they returned to the boat, they found that the murderers were all on the boat, but at this time, they couldn't get off the boat, so they had to work together to start the boat and go upstream.

Qincha's official ship went upriver along the Yangtze River and arrived near Huangshiji in half an hour. Wang Laosi was afraid that there would be Qing soldiers chasing after him, so he kept urging him to hurry up. The people on the boat were all concerned about moving forward, and did not notice the small boat in front of them. As a result, the boat in front didn't have time to dodge, and was directly knocked over by the official ship of Qincha, and several people on the boat suddenly fell into the Yangtze River. Wang Xi had always been afraid that someone would find out that he was sending a group of bandits, but when he saw that he had bumped into someone, he hurriedly shouted: "Stop and save people" Wang Laosi was unwilling to stop, just urged the boat to go quickly.

After all, Wang Xi is a messenger, and he gave an order. The boatman immediately stopped the boat to save the people, but the people who were hit into the river did not wait for the people on the boat to come to save them, and swam to the shore vigorously. Zhang Dabing said to Wang Laosi: "Wang Laosi, I think they seem to be running for their lives?" It's not like I want to go to the whistleblower. Wang Laosi said: "What kind of secret, we have been away from Anqing for an hour, who can run in front of us so fast." ”

Liu Tiezhu pointed to the crowd standing on the side of the boat, Wang Laosi found that these people were not from the Qincha boat at first glance, they were all countrymen, how could there be a little bit of Qincha's family members, they didn't know how to avoid it, as soon as they heard that they had hit someone, they all ran out to see the excitement. Wang Laosi also thought that these people wanted to go to the inform, so he called a few people and put down the boat to chase the people who fell into the water.

How did those people swim across the boat in the water, and after a while they were caught on the boat, I saw that there were five of them, four of them were stronger, and one of them looked weaker. As soon as a few people were caught on the boat, Wang Lao Si threatened with a knife: "Say, who are you, see if you are sneaky and want to go to the informant." The five of them were a little scared at first, but when they heard Wang Laosi's words, they were stunned, and they couldn't believe that someone said that they would go to the informant.

The weaker man was about to speak, when he heard someone shouting, "Go quickly, the pursuers from the shore are coming." Wang Laosi didn't care about interrogating a few people, and saw that there was really a team of Qing soldiers running on the shore, and they were shouting at the boat. Wang Laosi and the others did not dare to agree, so they hurriedly asked the boatmen to drive the boat upstream. The Qing soldiers on the shore gave up after chasing for a while.

This operation stunned the five people who fell into the water, and it took a long time for the thin man to speak: "Everyone, where are you going?" This seems to be the official ship of the Chin Cha. Liu Tiezhu shouted: "Stay well, dare to inquire again and kill you and throw you into the river to feed the fish." And the man was silent.

A big man next to him sneered: "It's just a dog of the Tartars, what are you angry about." Liu Tiezhu said angrily: "You are the dog, and your whole family is a dog." Seeing that the man was going to say more, Liu Tiezhu said again: "If you say one more word, I will kill you." The man stopped talking.

After a while, Wang Laosi came over and said, "Okay, let's get rid of the Tartar soldiers." Wang Xi said: "Where are you now?" Wang Laosi said: "Now that we have reached the east, rest assured that we will release you when we arrive at Poyang Lake, for the sake of you trying to save us." Wang Xi sighed: "The world is strange, I, the Qin Mission, actually want to send you to the grass for you." I said that if you don't go to Sichuan with me, no one will be able to recognize you there, and then I will give you another official position, which can be regarded as a future. ”

Wang Laosi and Liu Tiezhu were a little moved when they heard this, and then the weak man said: "If the dignified Han people don't do it, how can they still be the lackeys of the Tartars." Liu Tiezhu had warned this person before, but now that he didn't listen, he dared to speak. Busy said: "It seems that you don't want to live anymore." And he took the knife and slashed the man. Wang Xi said: "Wait" and then turned his head to the man: "Look at you are also like a scholar, how did you end up in such a situation, it is better to go to Sichuan with me, and not waste your ten years of cold window." ”

The five people just sneered, and the human: "Since you are a scholar, why don't you know loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, and why don't you know the debate of Huayi, but you still go to be the official of the Tartars, and in turn oppress the Han people." Seeing your age, you also have the grace of my Ming, why did you surrender to the Tartars to do the things of the two masters. Wang Xi was originally a Jinshi in Shunzhi for four years, but it can't be said that he didn't get the favor of the Ming Dynasty, so his face suddenly turned red and he was a little ashamed.

Wang Xi was about to open his mouth to defend himself, when he suddenly woke up and said, "Listen to your tone, you are a hypocrisy." Wang Xi said this, Wang Laosi and the others were also startled, Wang Laosi said: "Since you are not from the Tartars, what are you running?" Wang Xi said: "It's strange if they don't run, and he pointed to the Qincha flag on the ship." Only then did Wang Laosi understand and hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding." Loosen a few of them. Immediately, someone came and untied the five men. A few people were about to introduce each other.

At this time, the man who was watching from the sail shouted: "The Qing soldiers on the shore are chasing again." A few people went to the side of the boat to take a look, and sure enough, someone on the north bank of the river was chasing after them. A few people didn't care about the introduction, and hurriedly shouted and urged the boatmen to speed up. Because the Qing soldiers chasing from the shore rode fast horses, the two official ships could not get rid of the chasing people. In this way, the boat went up the river against the current, and the pursuers on the shore pursued closely.

In this way, the boat could not be stopped, the weak man suggested that he go to the south to dock, and then go ashore to the south, when Wang Laosi and others were about to command the ship to dock to the south, at this time there were Qing soldiers chasing on the south shore, and after seeing the Qing soldiers chasing clearly, several people immediately did not dare to dock, because the Manchurian soldiers with white flags were chasing on the south shore.

At this time, Wang Laosi and the others had no choice but to drive two official ships up the river, and they did not dare to stop. Because the boat could not be stopped, and the boatman could not stand it for a long time, all the other people on the boat had to help with the paddle. In this way, although everyone is familiar with each other, they still don't have time to introduce each other, and they usually yell, help who should help, and paddle who should paddle.

All the way from the east, through Pengze, Hukou, to Panyang Lake, because the Qing soldiers chased tightly, they did not dare to go, so they had to continue to drive in the direction of Jiujiang. Fortunately, this is the official ship of the Qin Cha, and the sailor patrol on the road did not dare to come to check, but this situation no longer existed after crossing the lake, because the Qing court stationed a sailor at the mouth of the lake, although the sailor soldiers have been sent to support Jiangning, but there are still patrol boats that are commonly used, and there are two small warships that also followed.

When the official ship of the Qin mission was about to arrive in Jiujiang, it seemed that it was about to be caught up by the warships of the Hukou Navy Division behind, but fortunately, God helped. The sky darkened in advance, and it rained after a while, and Jiang Shang could no longer see clearly before Huang Laosi and the others escaped. But the people on board were so tired that they all collapsed on board.

After resting for a while, everyone did not dare to stop, and continued to drive upstream with their oars forced. Fortunately, it is now out of Nanzhili, which is the junction of Jiangxi and Huguang, and the sailors at the mouth of the lake have returned. After rowing upstream for two hours, everyone did not dare to go any further, so they had to anchor and rest in the middle of the Yangtze River. The day was tiring, no one wanted to talk, and they all slept peacefully.

Early the next morning, everyone began to row upstream again, and it didn't take long for the cavalry on the shore to chase after them, and everyone had to continue rowing desperately. In this way, you chased me all the way up the Yangtze River, and the Qing soldiers who chased me did not dare to take a shortcut, for fear that as soon as the cavalry walked away, the people on the boat would get off the boat and run away. So no one wants to let go all the way, ten days through Huangzhou, Wuchang, seeing that it is about to Baling, Wang Laosi does not want to run upstream, and calls the boatmen to turn into Dongting Lake, the boatmen are tired and want to die, hearing this cheer, the boat turned to Dongting Lake, but just turned his head, Liu Tiezhu at the bow of the boat howled: "Turn around, go upstream, Dongting Lake out of the sailor." ”

Wang Laosi ran to the bow of the boat to take a look, and sure enough, three warships came out of Dongting Lake, and the people on the boat had no choice but to turn around and go upstream. Seven days later, when the official ship arrived in Yiling Prefecture, all the people on board, including Wang Laosi and others, who fled for their lives, did not want to run anymore. Liu Tiezhu said: "If I don't run, even if the Qing soldiers catch me with a thousand knives, I won't run, won't these dog-day Qing soldiers know that they are tired?" This chase is thousands of miles away and don't let go. ”

Wang Laosi also said: "Don't say that there are thousands of knives, even if you really punish my nine clans, you won't run away." These soldiers are already demonic. Wang Xi said: "I told you to surrender earlier, but you just didn't listen, why should you suffer these crimes." ”

Wang Laosi said: "I won't run away, you go and call the Qing soldiers." I'm going to be tired if I run any longer. "All the people were lying on the deck, motionless, and in a moment someone began to snore. As a result, in less than half an hour, the entire deck was asleep, and Wang Xi had to smile bitterly when he saw it. There was no one to help him stop the boat and dock. Fortunately, the boatman had just dropped anchor, otherwise the ship would have had to go downstream. When Wang Laosi woke up again, he found that it was already the next morning.

Wang Laosi hurriedly got up and looked around, but he didn't find any Qing soldiers chasing him. I couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly called everyone to get up, and everyone on the boat woke up and saw that there were no Qing soldiers chasing after them, but no one could think of the reason, so they had to dock the boat and let Liu Tiezhu take people ashore to replenish food.

It didn't take long for Liu Tiezhu and the people who went to come back with food and vegetables, Liu Tiezhu said: "It's also strange, the government here doesn't seem to know that there are Qing soldiers chasing us, we went to the street and said that the Qin sent officials to replenish food on the boat, and the local government sent these directly to us." ”

The thin man before said: "They must have seen the banner of Qincha and gave it, okay, since they have all arrived here, let's just go all the way to Sichuan." Wang Laosi said: "It seems that this is the only way, his grandmother's, it was originally this dog Qin sent me to Poyang Lake to fall into the grass, how did it now become that we sent him thousands of miles to Sichuan to take office." What the fuck is this called? ”

Liu Tiezhu howled: "If we had agreed to him first, we wouldn't have to work so hard, and we would have started a loss-making business before the grass fell." ”
