Xu Dingguo was on the horse, but his heart was still in Huai'an City, and when Su Le, who was running ahead, came to the city, he was drinking tea and listening to the play in the backyard of the chief soldier's yamen, which was separated from the Caoyun Yamen by a wall. The troupe that fled from Nanjing, Shengdan Jingmo is proficient in everything, especially that Hua Dan, that figure, it is really a praise, twisting and twisting on the stage makes people's hearts itch, and he is wondering if he will get this girl to bed tonight, and Su Le is here.

This defeated guy first went to the Caoyun Yamen, originally to transfer the Caoyun soldiers into Hongze Lake, and he didn't have anything to do, but the grandsons of the Caoyun Yamen were afraid to go to the lake as soon as they heard that they were going to the lake, for fear of encountering water thieves, and they talked nonsense in a hurry, exaggerating the water thieves on the lake like heavenly soldiers and generals, and also shook out the matter of Caoyun Inspector Li Wancai taking twenty Cao boats into the lake to prepare to go north to the canal on the order of Prince Yu, Su Le understood as soon as he heard it, it was done by the rebels of the Ming Dynasty who pretended to be the king's order, and Tuhai was already in a different place in the Tiger Roaring Valley. Where did you drill out another picture sea? Distinguish fakes. Li Wancai was most likely earned into the lake, and he was more than lucky.

In this way, the situation is different, what are Li Tingyu's rebels going to do in disguise and pretending to use a boat to go north? On the HB along the road, it is the SD where the legs are close to the HB and they go to the heart of the Central Plains, Jingpu Beizhili, what do they want to do? SD general chaos was initially decided, people's hearts were unstable, there were still Ming Dynasty forces in the coastal area, the two million taels of gold and silver, used to recruit troops to buy a team of tens of thousands of people in this year is a matter of moment, although the Manchu Qing north of the Yellow River has a heavy army hoarding, one or two hundred thousand hastily recruited people and horses do not make any big trouble, but once the regent is alarmed, it is a big crime. As soon as he thought of this, Su Le came down in a cold sweat on his back, turned his head and took a few steps to the Yamen of the Huai'an General Army next door, and broke in without waiting for the report of the soldiers, Xu Dingguo did not wear his shoes on his feet, and when he heard the news, he hurriedly came to the living room to see the ceremony, and was scolded by Su Le, and told the whole thing in a hurry, Xu Dingguo suddenly panicked, hurriedly put on his horse, and followed Su Le towards the canal with more than 1,000 people.

At this time, Xu Dingguo looked at the back of Su Le in front of him, and scolded in his heart: "This group of donkeys, I did my errand unfavorably, and I also pulled Lao Tzu into the water, if you are not a full person, Lao Tzu will definitely go to the court and impeach your head!" ”

I remembered Hua Dan in the backyard of my home, and I was even more angry when I was lonely tonight, and scolded all the way, if the words were lethal, Su Le would have been scolded to death by Xu Dingguo.

At this time, Su Le was even more remorseful, after retreating from Hongze Lake two days ago, the soldiers were divided into two roads, all the way to Huai'an City, all the way back to the Tiger Roaring Valley, and he ran directly back to the army of Prince Yu Duoduo, all the way to the outside of Nanjing, only to find Prince Yu camp, the news of the sudden change of the baggage camp to Duoduo, Duoduo's face full of anger and murderous eyes, so far he shuddered when he thought about it, fortunately Duoduo glared at him for a while, did not get angry, but issued a royal order, asking him to make meritorious service, Lead the Han army in the states and counties along the way, recover the property, and slaughter the rebels.

Su Le took the order, and ran to Huai'an overnight, this road came and went, almost delayed for two days, to Huai'an to see, the first few to two days of the general manager, but dazed just with a few water customs on the lake to inspect the shore slowly search, two days have passed, even the lake in Huai'an has not been searched.

Su Le was not polite, rewarded a few people who were ineffective in handling things, and then made a visit to the Caoyun Yamen and the General Soldier Yamen, and got the information that Li Wancai had entered the lake three days ago, and took Xu Dingguo to rush the canal.

The Huai'an Water Pass of the Canal is built on the river 40 miles away from the city, two pump boats stand in the middle of the river, the upper hope tower, there are wharves on both banks, the ships coming from the south to the north must dock on the dock one by one to register, wait for the river patrol soldiers to check the sampling, they can leave, it is an important checkpoint on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

The inspection fast boat shuttles back and forth on the river, and if a suspicious boat is found, it can be directly inspected on the boat. On both sides of the river, dozens of passing boats are lined up, waiting for inspection and inspection, so as to obtain a customs clearance slip before leaving.

When Su Le and the others arrived, they saw such a scene.

Xu Dingguo did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly called the inspector on the water gate to ask if there were any suspicious ships passing through the customs in the past two days.

The inspector wondered: "Suspicious ship? My lord, there are no suspicious ships, we have searched every boat, and we have found nothing suspicious. ”

Souler looked at the river, but saw a group of boats lining up to pass the border, and the river patrol soldiers did not let the boats dock, but set up the river patrol boats and let them go directly. So he pointed his whip and asked with a straight face, "Why didn't that fleet of ships check?" ”

The inspector hurriedly followed the prestige, and after reading it, he replied respectfully: "My lord, it is a Cao boat carrying grain, they are all official ships, and there is a flag of Cao Yun Yamen on the bow of the ship. ”

"Check! Must check now! Souler roared: "Every ship must be checked, go immediately!" ”

The inspector was shocked, trembling by the murderous aura in his tone, and hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, go check immediately!" ”

Hurriedly turned around and shouted at the soldiers, summoning the clippers to intercept them.

"Slow! Let the men go down and check, you wait. Su Le's eyes were cold, and he turned to Xu Dingguo and said: "Li Wancai Li inspected and transferred away, how many boats are there?" ”

Li Wancai transferred the boat into the lake, Xu Dingguo heard what Su Le said, and hurriedly replied: "I heard that it is twenty ships." ”

Surer asked the inspector again: "Now that it is not the autumn harvest season, there should be a certain number of ships to the north every day, do you know what the fixed number is?" Are there ships that are not within the fixed number? ”

The inspector said: "The lower officials know that it is now May, and the upward adjustment is all the grain reserves, and the northbound boats have a ration every day, basically forty ships pass by every day, generally at noon and Shen time, only today, there are twenty boats that pass through the customs early in the morning, not within the fixed number." ”

As soon as these words came out, Su Le and Xu Dingguo's faces were "brushed", and they all turned white, and the two jumped up almost at the same time, grabbed the placket of the inspector's clothes, and shouted loudly together: "When did it pass?" Say it! ”

"Yes, yes, it's three o'clock in the morning, and I wondered how I could transport grain so early." The inspector stammered and replied with a frightened expression.

Su Le gritted his teeth, threw the inspector to the ground, and spat out a word from between his teeth: "Chase!" Then he turned and jumped on his horse.

Xu Dingguo hurriedly followed, and while beating the horse, he shouted to Su Le: "Master Su, don't be surprised, it's less than two hours have passed, the boat is not fast, we can catch up!" ”

Before the words fell, Su Le's horse had already run out for a long time, only revealing a horse's butt in the smoke and dust, Xu Dingguo had no choice but to take the cavalry behind him and chase after him.

The frightened river patrol watched the cavalry leave violently, rubbing his neck and secretly making up his mind, although this inspector has a lot of oil and water, but he can't do it anymore, the world has changed to a new master, the rules of the Manchurians are very different from before, and the slightest mistake is to wipe the neck, the risk is too great.
