Chapter 4 Fugitive Xu Li'er

"Childe, how did you see that I don't want this pancake......"

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, hearing Liu Huayun call out her identity, suddenly changed her complexion, and even her deliberately pretending to be honest turned into a sharp female voice;

She said a word, turned around and was about to flee, but Lu Feng, who was signaled by Liu Huayun, stepped forward and stopped her.

"Little sister, don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person, I really want to help you!"

Liu Huayun smiled coquettishly, took a grease package handed by the stall lady to her, and said.

"Childe, please help Li'er and save my father......"

After the girl was stopped by Lu Feng, her face first changed miserably, and then when Liu Huayun handed over a large bag of meatloaf and water, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she knelt in front of him and begged.

Oh, I'm going, is it because my brother can't see it, this is not a rebellious girl running away from home, but there is another hidden story.

While slandering in his heart, Liu Huayun hurriedly stretched out his hand, pulled her up and said:

"Li'er, this is not a place to speak, it's not too late for you to leave here with me, and then talk slowly!

That, you still call me Brother Liu, or Big Brother, son, I'm really not used to it! ”

"Thank you, Brother Liu," the little beggar, named Li'er, touched the tears in the corners of her eyes and nodded in agreement......

A moment later, in a ready-to-wear shop on the side of the street, Xu Lian'er, who had washed off the dust and changed into a cyan skirt, followed Liu Huayun with a hat with a silk scarf and walked into the carriage.

At this moment, Liu Huayun and Lu Feng had uncontrollable anger in their eyes, and there were still undried tears in the corners of their young daughter's eyes under the hat.

It turned out that Xu Li'er was the daughter of Yin and Xu Yun of Kaifeng Mansion, and this exile incident was related to Wang Han, the governor of Yu and Lu, who was greedy for ink and disaster relief;

Xu Yun, the governor who did not want to be in the same stream as him, was coincidentally charged and arrested in prison, and the Xu family that was confiscated, only Xu Li'er escaped alone, and there was also the account book that made Wang Han uneasy.

Xu Li'er wanted to go to the capital to sue the emperor, but the road to Hebei was blocked, and she was notified by Admiral Wang Han as a female prisoner who escaped from prison and was wanted by her in Yulu and Lu.

There was no way, she had to hide among the homeless people, wandered for more than a month, and finally came to Jinan.

Xu Li'er, who was bent on saving her father, wanted to ask for some silver taels to eat in the city, and then crossed the river to Beijing to sue the emperor, but she happened to meet them and passed through here.

Liu Huayun was temporarily powerless to help the disaster victims, but it was still incumbent on him to bring Xu Li'er into the capital and find a way to get her to sue and redress her grievances.

"Big brother, thank you for your willingness to help Li'er," in the carriage, Xu Li'er said softly, and then lay on the cargo box again, sobbing.

Hey~~~, Liu Huayun, who had no choice but to follow her and go to Kaifeng to save his father now, had to sigh helplessly and patted her shoulder to show comfort.

In the silence of the four people, the carriage left Jinan City and quickly headed for the ferry port to the north.

Although there was no bridge across the banks of the Yellow River in those days, there were large boats that could ferry carriages and horses across the river;

However, because the Yellow River here spans more than ten miles wide, the boat boss asks for a lot of money, and when Liu Huayun's luxury carriage came to the ferry port north of Jinan, there happened to be a big boat soliciting guests.

"Childe, you came just in time, my Caijia ferry is the last ferry to the north bank of the Yellow River today;

Seeing that you are so magnanimous, I must not care about the silver of ten taels or eight taels, so that as long as you are seventeen taels, my brothers and I will send you and your chariots and horses over......"

The ferryman in his forties immediately greeted him with a smile on his face when he saw Liu Huayun getting off the carriage.

"Uncle, silver is not a problem, but you have to ensure the safety of us, the carriage and the horses!"

Liu Huayun smiled faintly, motioned to Lu Feng to take out seventeen taels of silver and handed it to the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Childe, don't worry, my Cai family's ancestors are ferrying here, and there will be no accidents, please!"

When Cai Jiadu saw the silver tael, he was immediately overjoyed, waved his hand and motioned to the guys in leather pants and shirtless half to set up the plank, and invited them up respectfully.

The Caijia ferry is different from the Dafeng warship, the civilian fishing boat, the cargo ship, the painting boat, the Western merchant ship, etc., which Liu Huayun has seen;

The wooden boat in front of him was about eight zhang long, perhaps because of the frequent ferry carriages, and compared to other ships, the deck of this ship was wider and thicker, enough to fit two mule carts side by side.

"Don't drive the boat, Boss Cai, Lord Fu Yin has an order, from now on, all business travelers passing through the ferry port must be strictly checked......"

Just as the carriage was tied to the ferry guys, ready to remove the pedals and go far from the shore, a group of four or five officials came quickly and shouted.

Hearing this, Liu Huayun and the three of them, who had already walked into the cabin, and Cai Jiadu, the boss of the boat on the deck, unconsciously frowned a little at the same time.

"Oh~~, it turned out to be Sun Zhutou, I don't know why Master Xing is so hardworking?"

Cai Jiadu, the boss of the boat, hurriedly said with a smile after the people boarded the ferry.

"Hmph~~~, is this something you should inquire? Whose carriage is this, as well as the bags of several of them, all open and check it! ”

Hearing him ask about this, Sun Bantou, who looked proud, scolded him very unceremoniously, and at the same time instructed a few people around him;

As he spoke, he glanced at the more than ten people in the cabin, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain.

"Master Hui, this is my young master's carriage, I don't know what happened here? These are all worthless, but fragile general goods, do you think it is convenient? ”

There were perfumes, soaps, spices, candles, etc., as well as jade objects such as agate and jade, which were enough to arouse the covetability of others;

What's more, Xu Lian'er, who is hiding in the middle of the cargo box and under the brocade canopy, these can't be easily revealed.

Once the arrogant arrester opens the inspection, he can only expose his identity, but that can only protect himself, but he can't protect Xu Lian'er;

And his identity, once it is known by someone with a heart, then on the next way, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no assassins, after all, there are too many people who want him to die.

Therefore, Liu Huayun glanced at Uncle Hua, and he understood it, walked out to greet him, and at the same time handed a piece of silver to Sun Zhutou in front of him.

"In that case, then give your son-in-law a thin noodle, but if you go to the capital, it's best not to chew the root of your tongue, understand?"

Seeing the twenty taels of silver that Uncle Hua stuffed into his hand, Sun Qiuxun's pupils couldn't help but shrink, this was the salary he could only get when he was on duty for several months in the Yin Yamen;

Therefore, after glancing at Liu Huayun, who was nodding and smiling at him, this guy was overjoyed, put away the silver taels, and opened his mouth to admonish.

"Don't worry, our young master is going to Baoding, not the capital!"

Uncle Hua smiled faintly, opened his mouth to explain, and suddenly made Sun Qiuxun nod with satisfaction.

"Poor master, you light, this is the decoction I grabbed for my mother, and there is nothing in it? Don't you get it all scattered......"

"Adult, inside Xiaosheng's book, it's really just pen, ink, paper, and inkstone......"

At the same time, three or four officials had already turned the bags of several scholars and businessmen in the cabin upside down, especially those books, all of which had been ravaged and some had been torn up;

The scholars who read it were heartbroken, but they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak!

"Boss Cai, remember, if you see this woman, you will definitely take her down and inform our yamen, if you dare to shield the fugitives, you know the consequences, let's go!"

Thinking that he had not found anything of value, Sun Qiuxun took out a piece of rice paper, handed it to Cai Jiadu, and after giving an order, he led people off the ferry.
