The passenger boat followed the lead mountain river and went straight down the river to Hekou Town.

There has been no snow for the past few days, but the snow on both sides of the strait has not melted, and there is a white expanse between heaven and earth.

Fei Liao kept turning around and looking back, for fear that the government would chase and kill.

"Uncle Di, don't be afraid," Zhao Han said with a smile, "The official is busy fighting the fire, how can he have the manpower to chase me?" ”

This matter was completely beyond Fei Li's imagination, and when he looked at Zhao Han again, he was already afraid in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, Fei Liao sighed and said, "Brother Han, why do you have to do this. It's a big deal to wait for another two or three years, and then another county magistrate will take office, and let's go through the account post again. ”

Zhao Han shook his head and said, "If it was three years ago, I would definitely have endured it." Now that I'm fifteen years old, how can I still endure such suffocation? ”

Fifteen years old...... When I was fifteen years old, I was still messing around with the eldest young master.

Fei Liao complained in his heart and asked, "Do you want to go back to Goose Lake?" ”

"No return," Zhao Han looked at the sky, "the world is big, and I have my own place." ”

Zhao Han can hide back to the Fei family, many Jiangyang thieves are harbored by the wealthy family, and the government does not dare to come to the door to search for them.

But what to do when you go back?

It's a pity that Zhao Han met many people in Lead Mountain, and laid the plate for three or four years, but he didn't have time to develop further, so he had to choose to give up all at this moment.

Someday, it's going to be killed.

Zhao Han entered the cabin and took out a pen and paper, wrote several letters in a row, handed them to Fei Li, and said, "Uncle Di, please forward these letters to Mrs., Miss, Young Master and my sister." Brother Chun, you can help me pass on a message and let him study and study hard. ”

"I see." Fei Liao put away the letters, and didn't know what to say.

Zhao Han in front of him is too strange!

A house slave and a scholar turned into a heroic character, killing people and setting fire to the county government and retreating.

This thing only exists in the romance.

Zhao Han asked in a low voice, "These boatmen, can they all be trusted?" ”

Fei Liao nodded and said, "It's all paid for by the young lady, and it has nothing to do with the old lady." ”

Zhao Han said again: "Uncle Di, when you get to Hekou Town, you can change the boat and go back." These boatmen, take me all the way, and I will give them silver. ”

"That's no problem," Fei Liao reminded, "you have to hurry up, the eunuch has set up a money gate in Henglin, don't be recognized by the sea fishing documents." ”

"Haha," Zhao Han suddenly smiled, "How can the magistrate get together with the eunuch." By the time the government posted the sea fishing documents everywhere, I had already left Lead Mountain for an unknown amount of time. ”

In less than half a day, the passenger boat arrived at the mouth of the river.

Fei Liao was carrying the burden and preparing to go ashore, and as soon as he walked out of the cabin, his face turned pale with fright, and he exclaimed, "Where did this head come from?" ”

Zhao Han hurriedly went out of the cabin to check, only to see that on the wharf at the mouth of the river, a wooden pole was erected, and the heads of Sun Xianzong and Sun Zhenzong were hanging from the pole head.

It is estimated that I feel unlucky, and I am worried about this pier, and no boat is willing to dock.

Fei Liao immediately got off the boat to inquire, and after a while, he ran back and said: "Tax supervisor Wang Heng has occupied Hekou Town, and his mansion is located in Zhejiang Guild Hall. The Iron Foot Society took refuge in the eunuchs, Fei Xu became the big boss, Li Dazhu became the second boss, the Sun brothers were killed Liwei, and the whereabouts of Zhang Tieniu are unknown. ”

"This eunuch is a good method." Zhao Han couldn't help but admire.

Tax supervisor Wang Heng himself sat at the mouth of the river, set up a card in Henglin Town to control the western channel, set up a card in Ehu Town to control the eastern channel, set up a card in Shitang Town to control the southern channel, and set up a card in Shanglu Town to control the southeast channel.

The entire commercial route of Leadshan County has been completely controlled by this dead eunuch!

A year ago, when Wang Heng came to lead mountain to take office, there were only a few followers around him.

Let's continue to Huo Huo, mess around for another two or three years, and make the lead mountain angry and resentful, and Zhao Han will be able to come back and find an opportunity to make trouble.

Fei Liao hired another boat to go to Goose Lake Town, and Zhao Han gave a few boatmen a tael of silver, and asked them to wait on the boat, and when they were hungry, they asked Dingshenglou to bring food.

"Brother Han, our ship stops here? Do you want to move again? The boatman asked, pointing to the head on the pole.

Zhao Han smiled: "It's not in the way, it's quite spacious here." ”

After speaking, Zhao Han went to Hanzhu Mountain with a spear, and before leaving, he wanted to go to interview Pang Chunlai.

There are still a few days to celebrate the New Year, but unfortunately there is no New Year's flavor this year.

The gentry and merchants from other places were looted and exploited by the eunuchs, so they passed on the losses to the workers and peasants.

The Iron Feet Society has completely degenerated into a gang of thugs, the coolies of the docks have been squeezed, their wages have dropped by an average of 30%, and there is no community organization to speak for them.

Tenants are worried about next year, and landlords are demanding to pay rent in advance, at least part of it.

And that's not the worst of all, the tenants are afraid of being taken away!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the land system was not completely formed, and the landlord could break the contract and seize the tenant at any time.

Every family is sad, and every household is crying.

Zhao Han came to Hanzhu Private School, because it was nearly the end of the year, the schoolchildren were going home one after another, and Pang Chunlai was reading alone.

"Sir, I'm coming." Zhao Han pushed the door in.

"Sit down." Pang Chunlai put down the book.

Zhao Han leaned the spear in his hand, sat down with a smile and said, "Master He Can, I didn't give me the account after receiving the money, and I also colluded with the history to arrest me and send me to prison." ”

Pang Chunlai asked in surprise: "Why did such a big thing happen suddenly?" ”

Zhao Han didn't regard himself as an outsider, he drank the teacher's tea, moistened his throat and said: "I can't be angry, I killed the master, killed the canon, and killed a few officials, so I simply burned the county government with a fire." ”

Pang Chunlai thought that he had heard it wrong, so he leaned his head and looked at Zhao Han carefully, and then he was dumbfounded and speechless.

After a long time, Pang Chunlai regained his composure and asked, "Are you leaving Lead Mountain?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Han nodded.

"Where to go?" Pang Chunlai asked again.

Zhao Han smiled and said, "Ruijin is a good place, I'll go and learn how they rebelled." ”

Reading Tang Bao, you can only know the major events of the imperial court.

Squatting in the restaurant, but you can inquire about the news of the rivers and lakes.

These days, Zhao Han has made friends with three sects and nine streams, and has learned a lot about Ruijin.

Initially, a peasant uprising broke out in southern Fujian, and Fujian officers and soldiers went to suppress it, and the peasants in western Fujian took the opportunity to take action.

After the civil unrest in southern Fujian subsided, the officers and soldiers waved their troops to western Fujian. The peasant army in western Fujian was unable to defeat them, so they were forced to flee into the mountains of southern Jiangnan, and set off a peasant movement in southern Jiangnan.

In the past few years, western Fujian and southern Jiangxi have been connected.

The officers and soldiers were simply powerless to suppress it, and they could not fight it if they came too little. If there are too many, the rebels will flee into the mountains, where they can be cleared.

Ruijin is even more interesting, the peasant army here calls itself "Tian Bing".

There were three leaders of the field soldiers, and their approach was not radical, and they did not directly fight the local tyrants to divide the land. Instead, they forced the landlords to hand over 30% of the land and distribute it to the peasants who participated in the uprising, and asked the landlords to give the tenants the right of permanent tenure, and they were not allowed to take the tenants and change their tenants for generations.

These field soldiers rushed into Ruijin County and forced the county magistrate to stamp the land transfer documents.

Tens of thousands of copies were stamped at one time, and the poor magistrate, master, and scribe worked in turns day and night, dreaming that they were holding a seal in their hands, and they couldn't help but put their chopsticks on the table when they ate.

Immediately, the three major leaders withdrew from the county seat, each based on one side, and supported each other.

The Ruijin government did not dare to go out of the city to collect taxes.

The landlords of Ruijin did not dare to force the peasants to pay rent.

As a result, Ruijin County has formed a strange and harmonious situation.

The Southern Gan Counselor and Ruijin Zhixian jointly reported that the civil unrest had been quelled, and they were actually commended by the imperial court. Even if the quota is not collected, it can be inferred that the damage of the peasant army is too serious, and the magistrate has picked up a merit in quelling the chaos.

The gentry and landlords of Ruijin, seeing that the peasant army did not kill people indiscriminately, although it was very painful to lose thirty percent of the land, they could only pinch their noses and admit it.

I really don't dare to ask the officers and soldiers to suppress it again, the bandits are like combs, and the soldiers are like grates.

In the eyes of the Ruijin landlords, the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court to quell the rebellion were even more terrible than those peasant armies!

When Zhao Han heard these rumors in the restaurant, he just couldn't help but want to laugh, many things in the late Ming Dynasty were simply ruinous.

What the hell is it that the landlords and the peasant army are guarding against the officers and soldiers of the imperial court together?

Pang Chun said: "Ruijin has not only the leaders of the three major field soldiers, but also has reached a tacit understanding with the government, generals, and landlords, I am afraid that no one wants to cause chaos again." Even if you go to Ruijin, you won't be able to pick up any bargains. Could it be that the tiger's body was shocked, and the three major leaders all surrendered to you? ”

Zhao Han explained: "The students just went to Ruijin to see the situation, and by the way, they got to know the three leaders, and the real targets were in Ji'an, Taihe, and the two counties. The fourth young master of the Fei family, now he is the Jinggang Inspector, so he can go to him first. If something happens here, you can hide in the mountains (Jinggang Mountain), and you can go south to take Ganzhou, and connect with the peasant armies of southern Jiangxi and western Fujian. ”

Pang Chunlai suddenly stood up: "I'll go with you!" ”

"It's freezing cold, and Mr. should not travel long distances." Zhao Han hurriedly persuaded.

Pang Chunlai said with a smile: "Compared with Liaodong, Jiangxi's winter is a fart." Don't look at the teacher as old and unbearable, but the gray hair is all an illusion, and I am not yet fifty years old. ”

Zhao Han knew that the teacher was very stubborn, so he didn't persuade much, but just asked, "Sir, have you thought clearly?" ”

"What else do you want?" Pang Chunlai exhaled a breath of turbidity, "I've been in Hanzhu Mountain for several years, and I've wanted to change places for a long time, and this place really suffocates me!" When to go? ”

"Tonight." Zhao Han said.

Pang Chunlai immediately sat down and wrote letters, one to the mountain chief Fei Yuanlu, one to his friend Zheng Zhongkui, and one to his student Xu Ying.

handed over the three letters to the familiar tutor, Pang Chunlai took the silver money and left immediately, and took out an iron sword and hung it on his waist.

Zhao Han supported the teacher, stepped on the unfinished snow, and walked straight to Hekou Town in the cold wind.

It was already evening when they arrived, and the master and apprentice were not in a hurry, so they went to Dingshenglou for a meal first.

Between eating and drinking, Zhao Han called Fei Ze: "Brother Jian Gut, I'm going to go on a long trip." When the crane comes, you will give him the manuscript in my house, and he will decide whether to reprint the "Goose Lake Magazine", and the fourth issue should be able to make money after the price increase. ”

"Where is my brother going?" Fetzer asked.

Zhao Han laughed and nonsense: "Entrusted by the young lady, I went to her Jiujiang mother's house to do errands." ”

Fei Ze congratulated: "My brother is becoming more and more valued by his wife. ”

Make small talk for a while and fill your stomach.

Zhao Han helped Pang Chunlai and went to the dock to board the boat in the dark, but saw a black shadow climbing the wooden pole.

If you don't see it, continue to walk towards the river.

The master and apprentice quickly entered the cabin, and a boatman immediately went ashore and untied the rope that was tied to the shore.

Failed several times, the Shadow finally climbed to the head of the pole, drew an axe to cut the rope, and took the heads of the Sun brothers.

As soon as the boatman finished untying the rope, the black shadow ran with his head in his hand, holding an axe and threatening in a low voice: "Send me to Henglin in a boat, or I will kill you!" ”

It is no coincidence that there is only one boat parked near the wooden pole where the head is hung.

"Good...... Good man spare his life! The boatman went limp with fright.

"Hurry, hurry!" The black shadow urged again and again, but the boatman did not dare to disobey, and walked to the boat one after the other.

The cargo rushed into the cabin recklessly, carrying an axe and shouting: "Be honest, the Sprinkle family is just taking a boat, don't force me...... Hey, the little minister is also there? ”

Zhao Han said with a smile: "Brother Tieniu, it's freezing outside, sit down and warm up to the fire." ”
