Chapter 5 Overnight stay in Yucheng
"Why are you still stunned, sail the boat!"
Cai Jiadu, the boss of the boat, glanced at the portrait in his hand, turned around and commanded the men who were rowing and rocking.
"Yes!"
With a sound of response, the sailors swayed hard, and the ferryboat quickly left the river bank and headed for the opposite side.
"Damn it, these dogs, what the hell are they going to do?"
After the ferry was far away from the river bank, among the seven or eight people who had just been Huohuo, someone finally couldn't help it and cursed quietly.
"Hey~~~, Brother Ren, we can't afford to mess with these officials, so it's better to ask for trouble, bear with me......"
As soon as the man's words fell, the scholar in the long shirt who had packed up the book sighed and said comforting at the right time.
"Uncle, who is the portrait you are holding? Can you show me? ”
In fact, when he had just arrested Sun Qiuxun and asked Cai Jiadu to pay attention to the woman, Liu Huayun knew that this search must be related to Xu Li'er;
However, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the ship's boss, he still pretended to be curious when he walked into the cabin.
"It's just a female fugitive, if the son is interested, I'll show you!"
With a faint smile, Cai Jiadu handed over the portrait in his hand.
"Hey~~, a beautiful woman, what a thief!"
Liu Huayun, who took the rice paper, looked at it a few times, couldn't help but sigh, and then returned the portrait.
Looking at his sighing and sighing appearance, who would have guessed that the female thief in his mouth was in the carriage he was riding.
Seeing that Cai Jiadu and everyone on the boat were not suspicious, Uncle Hua and Lu Feng glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but praise their own adults' acting skills and secretly praise them.
"Brother Ren, you have to walk into Beijing to prepare for the palace test next spring......"
"Yes, isn't it true that you are the same brother? Let's go together! ”
"Very good, very good....."
With the passage of time, the books and burdens that were messed up by Sun Qiuxun and others have been sorted out, and the seven or eight people on the ferry began to chat again.
The two scholars talked to each other ......very happily, and in this way, the afternoon time gradually slipped away, and the slanting sun reflected the light of the road on the turbid waves of the Yellow River.
On the north bank of the Yellow River, Liu Huayun and the three got off the ferry and continued to get on the carriage and head to the capital.
"Come out, Li'er, it must be stuffy, don't be afraid, there's a big brother here, hey~~, the girl is asleep......"
Leaving the ferry for a while, on the way forward of the carriage, Liu Huayun lifted the brocade covering the cargo box, and wanted to call Xu Li'er out, but when she saw her blushing, she actually fell asleep there;
Thinking that it was the escape during this time, the woman was already physically and mentally exhausted, and with a sigh, Liu Huayun folded the brocade and put it on her body.
"Uncle Hua, it's not early, we need to hurry up, we must rush to Yucheng tonight......"
Uncle Hua, who was driving the car outside, gave an order, and Liu Huayun reached out and took out the account book from his arms, which Xu Li'er would not discard if she swore to death, that is, her biggest reliance on clearing her father's grievances.
"Good dog officer, how many things have been done that hurt the heavens and reason, and gave birth to a child without an eye......
Dafeng has really arrived, the building will collapse and be precarious at the end of the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, Brother He Jin, you want to revitalize Dafeng, there is a long way to go! ”
Closing the ledger in his hand, Liu Huayun couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.
He didn't dare to imagine what kind of situation Dafeng would have become if he hadn't traveled through time and space a month ago, and the crown prince He Jin and Qin Cha Ji Xiaolan had all died under the conspiracy of the Black Evil Alliance and rebellion.
Presumably, the Mongols, the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, and the Dongying people will not abide by the agreement with that lord, and I am afraid that all the territory of the Han people will be burned by the flames of war.
Liu Huayun can be sure that the princes are divided, the land is divided, and the people are displaced and humiliated, which is the current situation!
But fortunately, not only did he come, but he also saved the prince by mistake, captured the rebellion of the three places, and now he has the technology of an era with him, so all this will have a chance to turn around.
The ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River is only dozens of miles away from Yucheng, and at the same time as Liu Huayun was thinking, the carriage was driven by the old driver Uncle Hua, and finally came to Yucheng when it was dark.
"Brother Liu, where is this, have we crossed the Yellow River?"
Xu Li'er, who had been asleep for a while, woke up at the same time as the carriage stopped, looked at Yucheng in front of her, and asked in a muttered voice.
"This is Yucheng, it's far away from the ferry, don't worry, girl, I will definitely take you into Beijing safely, and your father will also be wronged......"
Liu Huayun smiled faintly and patted her on the shoulder to show comfort.
"Thank you, Brother Liu, you are such a good person!"
Xu Li'er didn't know Liu Huayun's identity, she just thought that he was a kind-hearted rich young master, and he was willing to take a big risk to rescue himself as a wanted criminal, so his eyes were full of gratitude.
"Okay, Li'er, we're going to enter the city, you better hide first!"
Seeing that the carriage was approaching the city gate, Liu Huayun smiled faintly and put the brocade canopy on the little girl's body again.
"Stop, you need to check the carriage when you enter the city......"
Although Yucheng is only a small city, but on the side of the city gate, there is still a picture, wanted Xu Li'er picture, seeing the luxury carriage approaching, two yacha horizontal knives, directly stopped it.
Grandma's, this Yulu Governor Wang Han's control over Henan and Shandong has reached such a level that he covers the sky with one hand?
While slandering in their hearts, Liu Huayun and Uncle Chong Hua, who lifted the curtain, nodded.
"Two officials, my son-in-law just bought some fragile glass and porcelain to take home when he was playing in Jiangnan, can it be convenient?"
is still out of Jinan City, and when dealing with Sun Qiuxun, Uncle Hua, who followed Liu Huayun and traveled back and forth between Jinling and Hangzhou several times, was already able to speak fluent northern dialect;
Therefore, his words did not sound too flawed.
"Release, Childe, go slowly!"
As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and after receiving Uncle Hua's silver taels, the two leaders of the city guards will not be embarrassed anymore.
When Liu Huayun and his party entered Yucheng, it was already dark, and Uncle Hua drove the carriage outside an inn under his orders.
"Childe, madam, please inside!"
In order not to attract the attention of outsiders, Liu Huayun and Xu Lian'er, who were wearing hats, temporarily showed themselves as husband and wife, so the young man who let them into the upper room said this.
"Childe, ma'am, what are you eating?"
In the upper room of the inn, in addition to the large bed with a brocade quilt gauze tent, there are also a few log tables and chairs, let the two of them in, and the young man put away the rag that wiped the round table, and asked with a smile on his face.
"Hmm~~, just have four side dishes, a pot of tea, and prepare one for my groom and scholar."
Originally, Liu Huayun bought a lot of dry food such as pancakes and meat patties at noon, which was enough for the four of them to eat several meals, but he carried thousands of taels of gold and silver tickets, which were definitely not bad money;
Uncle Hua and Lu Feng had to guard the carriage and goods, and after entering the inn, they were separated from them, and after glancing at Xu Lian'er, who was pulling at the placket of his clothes and was a little cramped, Liu Huayun smiled faintly and commanded.
