Shimenyi is an important water post on the east waterway, there are many stilted buildings by the river, and there are many women in the building who do the business of merchants and even shipwrights.

Du San drank in the middle of the night, and he couldn't sleep, so he ran to have fun.

Han Xiufeng didn't see him downstairs in the morning, thinking that he was still sleeping in the room before he was drunk, so he didn't call him for breakfast, but when he was about to eat lunch, he came back humming a nasty tune.

"Big brother, where have you been?"

"I couldn't sleep at night, so I went to have fun," Du San glanced at the post man who was busy with Zhang Luo's wine and food, and then approached Han Xiufeng and said with a smile: "Second brother, it's not that the eldest brother doesn't want to take you, but he thinks that you must be very tired after walking so far in the mountains." After sleeping a night, I should be relieved now, and I will take you to lunch after eating, but I didn't expect this mother-in-law in the poor mountains to be so smart, especially the waves, so that you don't want to get out of her bed. ”

Han Xiufeng didn't expect him to be so colorful, and hurriedly said: "Thank you eldest brother for your kindness, I just married my mother-in-law and just got married, and I have to go to the dock to wait for the boat in the afternoon." ”

"Second brother, are you embarrassed," Du San patted him on the arm, smiled evilly and said, "Those rich three wives and four concubines, what's wrong with us who have no money to go around the kiln?" If you want to talk about mother-in-law, big brother and I have mother-in-law, but what's the use of not being around. Besides, it's really cheap here, and it costs a lot of money. ”

"Big brother, it's not a matter of money or money, I don't dare, I'm afraid of getting sick."

"What kind of disease, the mother-in-law here is clean! Smell it, it's not fragrant, and there is still a lingering fragrance on my brother at this time! ”

Han Xiufeng used to be reluctant to spend money to have fun, but now he doesn't want to do anything sorry for Qin'er, so he pushed his arm away: "Big brother, I really don't have this leisure, don't force me to be difficult." ”

"Okay, it's not hard for you, why are you civil officials like this, you are dignified in front of people, and there are male thieves and prostitutes behind your back."

"I'm different from them, and besides, I haven't made up for this shortage, and I'm not an official now."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, eat lunch."

……

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Pan Er was so itchy when he heard it that he ate absent-mindedly at noon, and was thinking about what excuse to find later, and secretly went to the river to find a mother-in-law to play, when a boatman ran barefoot into the post station.

Han Xiufeng was happy, got up and said, "Fifth brother, it's here so soon, I thought I would have to wait until the afternoon!" ”

"I was afraid that those turtle sons in Yunnan would see the flaws, so I didn't dare to wait for Boss Qian and them, and I left as soon as it was dawn, and I was in a hurry all the way, I didn't eat breakfast, and I didn't even dare to drink saliva." Qin Wu wiped his sweat, and saw that a big official sitting at the table didn't dare to move forward further.

"I haven't eaten breakfast, I must be hungry, come, there is food and food here, sit down first, let's talk while eating."

"No, Master Han, I'm just here to inform, and by the way, ask when to leave." Qin Wu didn't dare to sit down and eat with Du San, but the wine and food on the table were very greedy, so greedy that he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Han Xiufeng walked over and pulled him to the table, sat him down, and said with a smile while motioning for Pan Er to serve rice: "This Master Du is my brother-in-law, and he is not an outsider, so what is there to be afraid of." ”

Du San has been mixed with the soldiers in the camp almost every day in the past three years, not as particular as the civilian officials, and at a glance, he knew that Qin Wu was a boatman, and he couldn't help laughing: "Let you sit and sit, let you eat, you can eat, where is so much nonsense!" ”

"Master Xie Du appreciates the meal!" Qin Wu hurriedly got up and saluted, and only sat down cautiously until Pan Er brought the rice, not only did he not dare to drink, but he even ate very gently.

Han Xiufeng tried his best to persuade him to eat more, but when he saw that he couldn't let go, he simply picked up chopsticks and helped pick up the vegetables.

After two bowls of rice, Qin Wu was much bolder, drank a big mouthful of soup, looked up and said, "Master Han, I didn't need to be in such a hurry, it was the long entourage of the Yunguan that made me a little scared." As soon as the morning dawns, he will go to the dock to find someone to inquire, not only to inquire, but also to get on the boat and turn over your luggage. ”

"What did he ask?" Han Xiufeng put down his chopsticks and asked.

"Inquire where I came from, what letter I sent to the post station at night, inquire about who else is on the ship, ask this and that, it must be suspicious."

"It's normal to be suspicious."

"Young master, what's normal?" Pan Er couldn't help but ask.

Han Xiufeng touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "We arrived in Longxi after dark, if there is something urgent, we should go up to deliver the letter as soon as the ship docks." But we were worried about being recognized, so we waited until night to let the fifth brother deliver the letter. The turtle son surnamed Zhou has just suffered our loss in Ba County, just like a frightened bird, he will definitely be suspicious when he encounters such a strange thing. ”

Du San asked puzzledly: "What can he be suspicious of?" ”

"Because he is a thief, he must not have done anything good in his longevity, either deliberately sinking the ship to transfer the official copper or stealing and selling the official copper. And I and our second master in Ba County can clean him up, and the long-lived master can do the same, so he must be very cautious and careful, and he must find out if he finds something strange. ”

"Can he find out?" Pan Er asked eagerly.

"Money can make the ghost grind, as long as he is willing to spend money, there is nothing that cannot be explored." The more Han Xiufeng thought about it, the more nervous he became, and he got up and said, "Fifth brother, you hurry up and eat." Big brother, Brother Pan, you hurry up and pack your luggage in the room. We can't stay here for a long time, so we'll leave when the fifth brother eats well! ”

Pan Er didn't dare to joke with his life, so he pulled the big head upstairs in response.

Du San didn't think that the officials in Yunnan dared to do anything on the boundary of Chongqing Prefecture, so he couldn't help asking: "Brother, what are you afraid of?" ”

"I'm afraid of being framed," Han Xiufeng explained while accompanying him upstairs: "His turtle son is the transport officer of the Yunnan Copper, if they catch up and throw some official copper on our boat, it is not that we stole it, and then we will not be able to wash it even if we jump into the Yellow River." ”

"His turtle son can frame whoever he wants, and there is no royal law in the world!"

"If Wang Fa can cure him, can he still be called the Bronze Heavenly King?"

"That's right, but we obviously didn't steal his copper, but we want to flee like a lost dog, or on the territory of our Chongqing Prefecture, this is too cowardly!"

"It's a bit of a, but what else can I do?"

Thinking that Yunnan's Yunguan was likely to send someone to chase after him with copper, and copper was so valuable, Du San's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Han Xiufeng's arm: "Clean them up, give them some color and see!" ”

"Clean them up, third brother, what are you kidding, we can burn high incense without being cleaned up by them." Han Xiufeng was ridiculed.

"I'm not kidding you." Du San let go of his hand and said very seriously: "Second brother, since you can clean them up once, I believe you can clean them up twice!" If we don't clean them up, we'll have to worry about them every day. Hurry up and think of a way, while he is still on the boundary of Chongqing Mansion, and give his turtle son some color to see! ”
