Weishui South Bank Ferry.

The boat boss urged Yang Hao: "Are you leaving?" It's getting dark. ”

Of course Yang Hao wanted to leave, but he didn't know whether he should leave immediately, and rushed from the Xining Hou Mansion to the edge of the Wei River in one breath, it took three hours, everyone was exhausted, and the sky was dark. Luckily, he caught the last ferry to cross the river that day. What should Qing'er do? Will you just let her go back alone? Yang Hao had no idea for a while, thought for a long time and handed the reins to Qing'er, and said coldly: "You can go back now." Qing'er didn't take the reins, and glared at Yang Hao viciously: "I don't want your horse." ”

So she went south alone. Yang Hao looked at the sunset on the horizon, and then at Qing'er's slender and thin figure, and felt a little unbearable, so he shouted: "You stop." ”

Qing'er turned around, with ice on her face: "What, do you regret it?" It's better to kill me now, or I'll tell Madame your whereabouts when I go back." Yang Hao sighed: "It's late, you better go with me, and I'll try to send you back to the city tomorrow." Qing'er was speechless when she heard this, there are dozens of miles from the ferry to Chang'an, and she is alone to let her go, she doesn't have the guts. Yang Hao took the opportunity to pull her on the ferry.

There is a post station about three miles north of the Wei River, called Baishuiyi.

Yang Hao relied on the fish talisman of the Captain of the Shence Army to live in the post station. The fish charm is deliberately put into the baggage by the small fish. It is precisely because of it that Yang Hao can smoothly get from the Marquis of Xining to here. Yi Cheng saw that a captain of the Shence Army had come, and he didn't dare to slack off at all. Although half a month has passed since the change of nectar, the smell of blood in Daming Palace is still strong.

The post station is a well-informed place, and the post is even more observant and hears in all directions, and now the Shence Army is the king of heaven, no matter how big an official you are, you can just buckle the hat of rebellion, and you can't eat and walk around. Therefore, when Yang Hao asked him to send someone to send Qing'er back to Beijing the next day, Yicheng agreed without thinking.

At the beginning of the lanterns, Yi Cheng set up a table of wine banquets, and found a few smart and flattering post guards from the post station to accompany Yang Hao to drink.

Yang Hao was only afraid of getting drunk and making mistakes, so he only drank a few glasses before getting up and saying goodbye to Yicheng and taking Qing'er back to the guest room. At first, when Yi Cheng arranged the room, he only thought that Qing'er was Yang Hao's concubine, so he placed the two in an upper room. In order to reduce the number of branches, Yang Hao did not stop it. At this time, I realized that there was some inconvenience.

Yang Hao cleaned up the table, laid out a quilt, turned his back to the bed and slept first. After recovering from a serious illness, his body was extremely strong, and he fell asleep soon after lying down. In the middle of the night, someone suddenly poured a bowl of cold water on Yang Hao's face, and Yang Hao suddenly jumped up. It was Qing'er who poured him water, she was neatly dressed, and she didn't seem to be sleeping.

"There's someone out there." Qing'er said lightly, put down the porcelain bowl in her hand and sat on the bed.

Yang Hao was shocked when he heard the news, grabbed his saber and flashed to the window, listened carefully, and sure enough, someone outside was moving around. Yang Hao walked lightly to the table, packed the bedding and folded it on the bed, hid Qing'er behind the cupboard, stuffed the fire medium into her hand, and said, "As soon as I cough later, you will light the lamp." ”

Yang Hao pulled out the quilt and slept on the bed, and said angrily: "Don't make trouble, sleep, sleep." He deliberately shook the quilt to make a noise, and after a few moments, he let out another snoring sound, pretending to be asleep.

At this moment, a knife reached through the crack in the door and began to pick the latch. Yang Hao jumped up and flashed behind the door like a raccoon cat. There was a soft "squeak" and the door opened. Two masked men came in with steel knives, Yang Hao closed the door with a "bang", raised his foot and kicked it to the ground, and snatched the knife with his hand. The other fight was only one and was held by Yang Hao against the neck with a knife.

With a light cough, Qing'er lit the candle. The two masked men hurriedly covered their faces with their hands.

Yang Hao sneered: "Why, you still refuse to show the true face of Lushan?" Then he knocked on the table with his knife and said, "Do you want me to call you adults over?" Hearing this, the two hurriedly took off their face towels and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy.

Both of them were post guards in the post station, and one of them had drunk with Yang Hao at night.

"Why did you harm me?" Yang Hao fiddled with the steel knife while looking at the two guards with cold eyes.

The short man replied: "The court has not paid salaries for three months, and I am really crazy, seeing that there is silver in the adult's baggage, I want to steal a few taels to buy food to save my life." We really don't mean to harm adults. ”

Yang Hao shook his head, pointed at the tall man and said, "He's lying, you tell the truth." ”

The tall postman replied after a long time: "Our brother suspects that this lady has been abducted, so he wants to steal it out at night...... The villains are almost thirty years old, and they can't get a daughter-in-law, the old lady urges every day, the little ones really can't stand it, the villain should die, the villain should die. Then he kowtowed again and again.

"Do!" Yang Hao suddenly swung a knife and chopped off a table corner. The two of them trembled with fright.

"You two are not honest, believe it or not, chop both of you up." Yang Hao threatened. He threw a steel knife in his hand on the ground and shouted: "This is Jin Wuwei's saber, you are all people who have been implicated in the palace change, if you want to kill me, you will kill me openly, make up such a lie, and deceive me into being a fool?" ”

When the two postmen heard this, their faces immediately changed, and they both straightened up. The short man snatched the steel knife and shouted, "Yes, we are here to kill you, a disloyal and unfilial dog thief!" After that, he raised the knife and chopped, Yang Hao turned sideways to let go of the knife, grabbed his arm, and twisted it hard, the pawn's arm was suddenly dislocated, and he was also a tough guy gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Yang Hao sneered: "Whether I am a disloyal and unfilial person, you are not worthy to judge!" That's the end of tonight, get out of here! The two post guards were surprised when they heard this, and the short post guard gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "People are watching what they do, you Yang Hao has done something wrong...... You, you can't escape. ”

After driving the two away, Yang Hao held back a nameless fire and didn't know where to go.

Qing'er suddenly said coldly: "I think you should go back to your senses and guide the army, although the world is big, there is no place for you to stand." Yang Hao said angrily: "You don't have to worry about my affairs!" Don't worry, I'll send you back to the city as soon as it's dawn. Qing'er didn't say anything more, staring blankly at the wind lanterns on the high platform in the distance.

The sky was slightly bright, and Yang Hao took Qing'er to find Yicheng.

Although the post official is not big, he is one of the best people in the post station, and he lives alone in a courtyard with his family. Yang Hao pulled the door knocker, once, twice, three times, and knocked seven or eight times in a row. Still no one responded, Yang Hao was shocked, and with a slight force in his hand, the door opened with a "squeak", and a strong smell of blood came to his face.

Yi Cheng was hanged under the eaves of the main house, and there was a note pasted on his body, on which the words "Murderer Yang Hao" were written bloodily! Yang Hao was furious, tore off the note and tore it to shreds. Only then did he notice that the door of the main house was empty, and there were eight corpses lying in the hall, and the three female corpses had been stripped of their clothes, creating the illusion of rape/murder.

On the paintings hanging in the hall, on the walls, on the ground, and on the pillars, everywhere where the pen can be written, the same five words are written in blood: "Murderer Yang Hao!" Yang Hao's brain was dizzy, and he felt extremely remorseful in his heart, he never thought that those two jailers would hate him so deeply that they would not hesitate to kill people and frame him. His momentary benevolence actually harmed the nine members of the Yicheng family who suffered this unjustified disaster!

"What, who?"

A person at the door asked in a trembling voice, a post man who got up early to go to the thatched house, when he passed by the door of the post house, he found that the door was open, so he looked inside curiously, he found the post man who was hanged under the eaves, and also saw Yang Hao with a distorted face and Qing'er who wiped her tears from her grief relatives.

"Mom, he's killed!"

The postman shouted in despair, and the white water post that was still asleep was awakened by this sharp and piercing voice. Yang Hao knew that this basin of dirty water could not be washed away for the time being, so he grabbed Qing'er's hand and shouted, "Come with me." ”

The sound of the golden gong that called the police resounded over the post station, and the disheveled post guards chased them out with guns and sticks, at this moment, Yang Hao had already ridden the horse, but he was scurrying everywhere because of the unfamiliar road.

"Close the door, close the door." The guards shouted.

The post man who slept in the guard room at the clamp door heard the sound and ran out with his bare buttocks to carry the barricade to block the gate. This reminded Yang Hao.

"Hold me tight!" Yang Hao roared, Qing'er hurriedly hugged his waist, she was already overwhelmed by the panic of the scene in front of her. Yang Hao clamped the horse's belly between his legs and lifted the horse's reins in his left hand, and the horse snorted and neighed for a long time and flew over the barricade.

Everything was like in a dream, at the moment when the stagecoach volleyed over the barricade, Qing'er was extremely nervous and hugged Yang Hao's waist, and put her whole body against Yang Hao, eager to get into his body to feel safe. The stagecoach landed steadily and galloped away. The post guards regretted that Wan Duan smashed the sticks and guns one by one, gritted their teeth with hatred, and looked at the distorted faces, Qing'er felt a burst of happiness that she had never felt before. She laughed out loud.

"Don't look, they're all undressed." Yang Hao suddenly said nonchalantly.

Qing'er's face was hot for a while, she slowly let go of her hand, but pursed her lips and punched Yang Hao in the back.

Yang Hao knew in his heart that it would not be long before the sea fishing documents for himself and Qing'er were sent to the states and counties of Gyeonggi Province. Therefore, after escaping from the White Water Station, he did not dare to take the main road again, but traced up an unknown river. There are no decent villages and towns along the river, and the government's sea fishing proclamation will not be here for a while.

Now what makes Yang Hao embarrassed is how to settle Qing'er, overnight, she has changed from a victim coerced by herself to an accomplice to a murderer, and it is impossible to send her back to the city. What to do, Yang Hao didn't know in his heart. Yang Hao blamed himself and regretted it, why did he take her out in the first place? Why didn't you leave her cruelly at the ferry? Why......

Qing'er didn't show any dissatisfaction, she still had that cold face, and her eyes softened a little bit. These days, she hasn't said a word that hurts herself. Every time she passed by the village, she came forward to buy grain and horse feed. Xiaoyu gave all her belongings to Yang Hao, and these silver and jewelry are enough for two people to eat and drink for three or five years, but Qing'er still pays for it every time she buys something, and she never spends a penny indiscriminately.

Yang Hao thought that this was not just a matter of a few pennies, it showed that Qing'er no longer had hatred for herself in her heart. Yang Hao even had a wonderful feeling that this woman, who was hostile to him not long ago, seemed to suddenly fall in love with him.
