The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed the Wanzhong Mountain - Li Bai's poems are very beautiful, but the immersive feeling is completely different!

After there were chasing soldiers, Han Xiufeng didn't dare to rest in the water post along the Sichuan River, and after dark, he lit a lantern so that the Qin family father and son could go as far as they could go east, and the reef was too dangerous and he didn't dare to go to the shore. At night by the river, it is not the pursuers to be guarded against, but the local people who live in the mountains and forests and the bandits who rob their houses, so several people take turns to keep vigil.

Du San is an official after all, and he doesn't want to be "on duty" with others, so Han Xiufeng can only stay up late with him.

The roar of the river hitting the rock wall and the cries of apes on both sides of the river are endless, the river breeze and the mountain wind are blowing, and then the thought of countless hanging coffins hanging on the dark cliff is really terrifying.

Du San sat on the bow of the boat with a big futon, clutched the knife and asked, "Second brother, is there any bandit trouble in this area?" ”

Jiang Shang was cold, Han Xiufeng was also wrapped in a futon, leaned against his back and yawned and said: "I haven't been to Kuizhou again, I don't know if there are bandits." However, I heard from the fifth brother that this area is not peaceful, and these boatmen will never stay here unless they have to. ”

"Don't be afraid, Lao Tzu is an official soldier, that is, to suppress them, if they dare to come, they will send the first section to Lao Tzu!"

"Big brother, I know you're not afraid, but two fists are hard to beat four hands, if there is really any movement, we can't be strong, we can't afford to provoke but we can afford to hide, as soon as there is a disturbance on the shore, immediately call the fifth brother to get up and support the boat."

"Okay, listen to you." Du San nodded, thought about it and asked, "Second brother, I see that your handwriting is very good, why don't you go to the test for fame?" ”

Han Xiufeng didn't expect him to ask this question, and sighed helplessly: "Good handwriting doesn't mean that I can make a fuss, and besides, my handwriting is not good, it can only be regarded as average." ”

"It's not that hard to make a fuss."

"It's not that difficult, if it weren't that difficult, everyone would go to the test." Han Xiufeng yawned, and then said: "And even if I can make a fuss, I can't get famous, my family has been a tenant for several generations, and no one has ever been a showman, a lifter, and no one has ever been an official, even if he is full of money, it is useless, and he can't take the test if he wants to." ”

"You're cold!"

"Hmm." Han Xiufeng nodded helplessly.

"Since you are a cold member, how can you donate your official status?" Du San asked puzzled.

"It is a bad local rule that cold people are not allowed to donate to the exam, and the imperial court not only prohibits the donation of exams but also wants to get rid of this bad rule, so whether the cold family can donate to the exam or not can be decided by the county master. The previous county magistrates of Ba County were more able to be officials than the other, and they all followed the customs of the locals and asked for entry prohibitions, and no one wanted to offend the local gentry because of this matter. ”

Du San asked curiously, "Then how did you donate?" ”

Han Xiufeng couldn't help laughing: "Speaking of which, I was lucky to meet a county master who was born as a donor. It just so happened that the imperial court didn't know what was the lack of silver, so it could only be donated, so I asked the uncle of the sixth room to ask the county magistrate if I could donate, and he said yes, as long as there was silver. ”

"That's it?"

"It's not that simple, I didn't just have to donate at that time, there were two cold people. The local gentry, especially those students from the county school and the government school, went to the yamen to reason with the county magistrate, not only claiming that the cold nationality could make up for the donation, but also saying that what donation was not the right way, and that what donation would mislead the country and the people. ”

Du Sanle couldn't help but laugh and said: "The county master's black gauze hat was donated with money, didn't they point to the monk and scold the bald donkey?" ”

"Yes, the county magistrate was so angry with them that he not only allowed Leng to donate to the exam, but also asked the soap class officials to drive them out."

"And later?"

"Later, we donated it, but the county master was dismissed."

"Just because of this?" Du San asked in surprise.

"Well," Han Xiufeng moved his buttocks and said with a wry smile: "Those students who were kicked out of the county government by the county magistrate were not convinced, they first sued the government office, and when they saw that the government did not give them an explanation for a long time, they made trouble with the provincial government, and the Taoist platform did not want to offend the students of the whole Sichuan East Province, so they found a person who presented the Taiwan yamen from the head to get rid of the county master." ”

Du San didn't expect a county master to lose his black gauze hat because of this matter, and couldn't help but scold: "Those showmen are too lawless!" ”

"Everything is inferior, only reading is high, who makes the family a reader."

"Useless scholars, they are a hammer!"

"Big brother, it's okay to say this in front of me, don't say it in front of others. Now all the people in power are civil officials, and the town and the platform have to be respectful when they see the Taoist platform, and they have to bow down when they see the platform, and they all have to call themselves lowly positions, and you can't offend them. ”

"It's nature."

……

At the same time, he arrived in Zhouzhi County in the afternoon of Lin Shiyi, and was writing an official document to inform the local officials in the upper room of the post station. I don't know how many times I wrote it along the way, the format and content are precocious, and I don't need to change my head, I just need to change the payment.

Liu San held the candle and said cautiously: "Master, the second master left a message from the porter on the dock before he walked from here, Ding Er thought that the porter was a liar and didn't let him approach, I just went to the dock to inspect and only knew about it." ”

"What message?"

"The second master said that the surname Han knew that we had discovered his whereabouts, and for fear of being caught up by us, he ran faster than a rabbit. In order to escape, they didn't even want their lives, and they dared to sail at night, and they arrived here in the middle of the night the day before yesterday. If it weren't for the letter from the Chongqing Mansion Ya Bingfang, the post would not have let them in. ”

Zhou Zhixian put down his pen, frowned tightly and asked, "How did he know?" ”

"I should have guessed at first, but I know it now."

"Don't sell Guanzi, how can he be sure!"

Liu San subconsciously looked back at the door, and said with a bitter face: "Master, this is the boundary of Chongqing Mansion, and his father-in-law is the inheritor of the prefect's yamen, who dares not to give him face at the post station along the way." The second master inquired about the place where he arrived the night before, and someone rushed from Shimenyi to report the news early the next morning, and as soon as he received the letter, he fled in the wilderness. ”

Zhou Zhixian thought that if he had a heart or not, he should be able to catch Han Si one by one, but he didn't expect Han Si to know, and couldn't help asking, "Is there anything else?" ”

The second master said that he and a thousand general manager in Chongqing town burned yellow paper in Shimen Yi and worshipped, and the thousand general manager went on the boat with him. But it's not a big deal, that Mr. Qian seems to have gone to the capital to fill the vacancy, not only does he have no soldiers, but he doesn't seem to have much money on him. ”

"That Qiu Ba has nothing to worry about, I'm worried about Han Si."

"Master, Han Si has nothing to worry about, this is not in Ba County, besides, he is estimated to have run to the boundary of Kuizhou at this time, as long as the second master can catch up, it will not be a piece of cake to clean him up."

"I don't know who is whose dish yet," the more Zhou Zhixian thought about it, the more bottomless he became, and he looked up and said, "Since he knows that we are chasing, he will definitely think about how to deal with it." The official is as smooth as oil, he is the most difficult to deal with, your second master is not necessarily his opponent! ”

Liu San asked worriedly: "What should I do then?" ”

Zhou Zhixian pondered for a moment, and said with a gloomy face: "Blame me, I forgot to explain to your second master that if you don't catch up within three days, you don't have to chase anymore, so now you can only do your best to obey the destiny of heaven." ”

"Master, how can you do this thing?"

"You go to the dock to find a boat now, and set off to chase your second master as soon as dawn to see if you can catch up and see if you can stop him!"
