It is said that Chang Yilin received a secret report from Yang Fenglong, learned of his father's safe place, and also learned of his father's injury, and he couldn't help but feel sad and happy, and he eagerly went to visit.

On this day, under the leadership of Kang Liangnian, he passed through the waterway to his father's shelter, which was full of filth, bad smell, and mosquitoes.

He was eager to take his father out of the waterway and live in Youran Hall, and Yang Fenglong agreed, this was really not a good place to recuperate, and his wounds were a little inflamed and suppurated.

So the two wanted to work together to take Chang Chuanming away from here, but the difficulty was greater, and the city of Yangzhou was under martial law to track down Chang Chuanming in a dragnet-style manner.

But Chang Chuanming's condition began to worsen, and he couldn't stay in this place, so he had to think of a feasible way, and everyone was trying to find a way.

Yang Fenglong's heart moved, and he thought of a method, he said: "Young helper, I have a plan, but there is something wrong, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

When Chang Yilin heard this, he was also overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "Strategist, what is the best plan, in a special period, as long as I can let my father get out of the city safely, I can use any method to do it." ”

Yang Fenglong said: "The father of a deacon named Chen Dadou in my gang died the day before yesterday, and he has not yet mourned. His house can take the waterway to his door, which is faster and safer. ”

Chang Yilin hurriedly said: "The law of the military division is feasible, I agree, without further ado, I also ask the military division to draw up a specific charter, and we will implement it immediately." ”

This is Kang Liangnian hurriedly running over, and said urgently: "Young gang master, I don't know who told the secret, let the government know the hiding place of the gang leader, now a large number of people have rushed over, and began to check the drainage wells one by one, we should evacuate as soon as possible." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Yang Fenglong said: "Don't panic, everyone, let's go to Chen Dadou's house immediately, less help the master, let's quickly help the helper go." ”

At this time, Kang Liangnian stepped forward and said, "It's better for me to carry the helper on my back, so it's faster." ”

Without saying anything, he picked up Chang Chuanming and walked quickly along the steps of the waterway, he was strong and strong, his feet were fast, and he walked far away in a short time, Chang Yilin and Yang Fenglong followed closely behind.

This place is not far from Chen Dadou's home, and the time for two sticks of incense will arrive.

At this moment, Kang Liangnian let go of Chang Chuanming, and went to the drainage well to check; I saw him carefully climb to the mouth of the well, gently push open the manhole cover, and then inspect it.

He quietly took out a dart from his bosom and shot it into a nearby tree, making a strange sound, only to see a man in black come out of the side and nod to him in acknowledgement.

Seeing this, Kang Liangnian then went down the well to tell Chang Yilin and others about the information on the ground.

Kang Liangnian said: "I didn't find the police information young helper, and it's still safe now, so we have to go out as soon as possible, and we can't stay for a long time." ”

Chang Yilin said eagerly: "Strategist, let's fight, otherwise we will eventually become a "turtle in an urn" and be caught." Yang Fenglong also agreed.

This group of people came out of the well, and finally all came out, and then they all hid in Chen Dadou's house.

At this time, the white flags of Chen Dadou's house were fluttering, the mourning music was playing, and the family was in a sad atmosphere; The people in the family are all dressed in linen and filial piety, and the crying outside the mourning hall is shocking, and the coffin of the old lady is placed inside.

At this time, it was a scorching summer, and there were no freezing measures, and the old lady's body had begun to decompose, emitting an unbearable odor, which also began to waft in the hall.

Kang Liangnian went to see Chen Dadou before, he was shocked when he saw Kang Liangnian, he hurriedly went to ask, Kang Liangnian led him out to meet Chang Chuanming and his party.

When he saw Chang Chuanming, who was injured and depressed, he suddenly became anxious, he hurriedly went to meet and greet, and he met Chang Yilin and Yang Fenglong in turn.

Yang Fenglong also told him about the plan he came up with to get out.

After listening to this, Chen Dadou said: "The military advisor's plan is good, but my father's funeral is only the third day, and it will take four days to go out of the funeral. ”

Kang Liangnian interjected and asked, "Deacon Chen, can't you go out for the funeral early?" Now the situation is critical, and there will be an unpredictable danger one day later. ”

Chen Dadou said: "What Deacon Kang said, I have also thought about it, but it takes seven days to go out of the funeral, this is an ancient custom, and everyone is like this." If the funeral is carried out in advance, it will attract the suspicion of the neighbors, and if it is investigated, it will be even more inappropriate. ”

Everyone also agreed with his statement, but they couldn't do it for a while, so they could only wait for the day of his father's funeral and take the opportunity to go out of the city.

Suddenly there was the sound of neat footsteps outside the courtyard, and then a majestic voice was heard, which should be a military general giving lectures and issuing orders.

I only heard him shout loudly: "Everyone, go out of the ranks, and now order me and other soldiers to search all the sewer passages in Yangzhou City and arrest the key criminals; At the same time, it is also to sweep away the underground underworld forces in Yangzhou and clear the place where the underground hides dirt and dirt. There must be many victims and missing people underground, and they must be rescued one by one. If you encounter a criminal, you should immediately arrest them, and do not let them escape; Those who resist stubbornly are to correct the Fa on the spot. Then the voice was lowered, and the people in the courtyard could not hear clearly.

Finally, the general asked in a loud voice, "Do you hear me?" If there is an objection or unclear now, it can be raised on the spot and a reply can be given. The officers and men who were trained below all said in unison, "I understand."

At this time, the general said: "Everyone was disbanded on the spot, and the capital (the basic establishment of the Song army, with about 100 soldiers) as a unit, each led the team and assigned tasks. They all go to the waterways and carry out dragnet investigations, and they must search carefully and thoroughly, and no fish can be left behind. Let's get started. ”

All the soldiers should make a promise, and then disperse in an orderly manner, and they all went into the sewers.

I saw a person in front of the waterway well in front of Chen Dadou's house, and came to an ancient locust tree, as if he was looking for something.

He saw a glowing dart, then took it down, tucked it in his long sleeve, and hurried away.

When the people in the courtyard heard everything that happened outside, they immediately felt that the situation was relatively bad, and they had to leave the city immediately, otherwise they would not be able to get out, and they would most likely be captured.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, and everyone suddenly became nervous, and Chen Dadou immediately asked Chang Chuanming and others to take Chang Chuanming and others to the cellar to hide. He went to the door to open the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Pan Sixi, the head of the workshop (equivalent to the village head).

Pan Sixi didn't come into the hospital, he looked at the situation in the courtyard, after all, Chen Dadou's family was holding a funeral, and he couldn't be too disturbed.

He said to Chen Dadou: "Brother Dadou, during this time, the city of Yangzhou is not peaceful, and the government is arresting the extremely vicious fugitives, you should also pay attention." Don't take the opportunity to sneak into your house and be accused of "harboring a murderer". And then the old man's funeral is simple, it's best to bury it today, which is also a requirement of the government. ”

When Chen Dadou heard this, his heart was suddenly happy, and he suddenly felt that a good opportunity "just in time" fell from the sky, and he pretended to be unwilling.

He complained to Pan Sixi: "Pan Fangchang, it's not like this, seven days at home before the funeral is an old rule that has lasted for a long time, how can you say that it has been changed?" If I do this, I won't be laughed at by the neighbors, how can I hold my head up in the future, and see if I can be accommodating. ”

Pan Sixi's face sank when he heard this, and he said: "Chen Dadou, this is an order issued by the state capital, and the funerals in Yangzhou City are simple, and this is not aimed at your family; Do you want to disobey state orders, do you want to go to jail; I advise you to hurry up and prepare, so as not to miss the good time, in case you are unlucky in the future. ”

Seeing that Chen Dadou was still not giving up, he said again: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, don't make trouble for me, or I want you to look good." After he finished speaking, he ignored Chen Dadou and threw off his sleeves and left.

Chen Dadou watched Pan Sixi leave at this time, and then hurried to the cellar and called Chang Chuanming and others out, and he told everyone the news of the early funeral, and they were overjoyed. Yang Fenglong immediately organized the implementation of the established plan.

Chen Dadou's father's coffin is relatively large, and the interior is relatively spacious, so it can accommodate Chang Chuanming.

Yang Fenglong asked Chen Dadou to make a mezzanine in the coffin and let Chang Chuanming hide inside. After everything was arranged, Chen Dadou went out to report to Pan Sixi, and then stuffed him with twenty banknotes and asked for dozens of passes to go out of the city.

In the end, Chen Dadou organized the funeral, at this time, the crying in the courtyard shook the sky, and the old man's coffin was also carried out, there were eight strong young men carrying the coffin, and sixteen replacement people were waiting on the side.

Because the coffin cannot fall to the ground during the funeral, there is a distance from the house to the outside of the city, so a group of coffin bearers cannot hold on at all, and must be rotated and rested alternately.

At this time, Chang Yilin and Yang Fenglong went out of the city through another secret passage, there were only two people, which would not attract people's attention, and after agreeing on a meeting place with Chen Dadou, the two did not dare to slack off, and they could leave the city.

Chen Dadou's funeral procession was walking on the street of Yangzhou City Gate, and the suona in front of him was blowing loudly, and the mourning music was everywhere, which was inspiring.

Then two people were scattering paper money, and for a while, yellow spirit coins with round square holes were scattered everywhere, floating all over the street.

Behind him, Chen Dadou held a long white flag, dressed in linen and filial piety, and wept bitterly.

It was followed by the procession carrying the coffin, and then the accompanying family members, and at this time the cry shook the sky.

The funeral procession slowly walked to the front of the city gate, only to see more than a dozen soldiers armed with knives and guns standing on both sides, strictly checking pedestrians, there was already a long queue here, and the funeral procession was also blocked here and could not move.

Chen Dadou was nervous at this time, his whole body was already sweating profusely, and he begged the pedestrians in front of him one by one, asking for a loan.

As soon as the pedestrians saw him wearing heavy filial piety, they immediately made way for him, after all, "people die for the greatest, and the earth is safe", and the team soon arrived in front of the box soldiers who investigated.

At this time, these soldiers stood up and stopped the funeral procession, and then checked the crowd, first checked the individual's pass, and then checked the appearance of the crowd according to the map, and found no abnormality; Then I went to check the coffin.
