Chengdu Fucheng is more than 100 miles away from Guan County, and it is naturally much slower to take a boat than to ride a horse, but it is better to be clean, and the boat is not afraid of being seen on the way.

In an hour, at the speed of a boat on an inland river at this time, it can travel forty or fifty miles with the wind and water, and only half with the wind and water.

Chengdu Prefecture to Guan County, that is, against the water.

The wind direction is changing from time to time, and Gao Kewei's sand-proof flat-bottomed boat did not stop all night, and arrived at Majiadu, five miles south of Guan County.

In Guan County, the most famous is Dujiangyan.

In this era based on agriculture, water conservancy is the lifeblood of farmers. Thanks to Dujiangyan, Guan County occupies the geographical advantage, and the people of Fufu have been abundant for thousands of years, and they do not know hunger, which can be described as the heavenly mansion in the heavenly abundance.

In the past, Guan County did not have a city wall. During the Hongwu period, Taizu ordered the world to build a city, and Guan County had an earthen wall. And now the brick and stone city wall of Guan County is still just built during the Hongzhi period.

The county seat is not large, and the circumference of the city wall is only eight miles. Nowadays, Xuanhua Gate in the east, Daojiang Gate in the south, Xuanwei Gate in the west, and Zhen'an Gate in the north, all have soldiers under Guo Zan inspecting and interrogating pedestrians.

Here's the question: After all, Gao Kewei is not the person who has been issued a sea fishing document, there is no portrait, and how many soldiers below have seen Gao Kewei with their own eyes?

Guo Zan had to cooperate with the "fear" of the magistrate of Guan County, and first took down a large number of suspicious caravans and characters, waiting for Guo Zan to identify.

The same is naturally true of Fulongdu and Majiadu in the south of Guan County, where Guo Zan has arranged for people to inspect every boat coming downstream.

Such an investigation naturally caused a lot of complaints.

"There are women on the ship, how can you be allowed to search for them? This is the boat of the Tongzhi family of Chengdu Mansion to visit friends in Guan County! Where are you soldiers, so daring? ”

In the cabin, Gao Kewei looked at the ship in front of him through the gap in the curtain in the window, listening to the roar of the steward in front of him.

How fast can it be? Yang Junlin, this waste!

On the wharf, it was clearly not the officials of Guan County who were doing things. The momentum of those officers and men is not comparable to that of the government officers.

And after listening to the words of the manager of the Chengdu Mansion, those officers and soldiers were clearly more vigilant. The leader said something that Gao Kewei couldn't hear clearly, and saw a few soldiers take care of the ship first, and another person turned on his horse and galloped towards Guan County.

"Master, what should I do?" Gao Kewei's side, his personal soldier who had been ordered to send a letter to Song Panwei and Xingdu Si first asked solemnly.

Gao Kewei shook his head calmly: "It's okay, this is the ship that usually goes to Songpan to conduct merchants, and I will let Shopkeeper He deal with it later." The four of you are just escorting the ship, and I'm just a doctor who discerns medicinal herbs. ”

Along the way, Gao Kewei's clothes have all been changed, and even his original good beard has been cut off a lot, and his appearance has changed greatly.

even put a lot of moles on his face, and he looks like a bad old man who doesn't want to take a few more looks.

At the moment, he had been in the cabin looking at a book of medicines.

Western Sichuan is indeed the production area of medicinal materials, especially Songpan, which is rich in more than hundreds of kinds of Chinese medicinal materials such as fritillary, jatamansi, Qianghuo, woody incense, and cordyceps.

At this time of year, Songpan enters the season of harvesting Cordyceps.

Gao Kewei's back hand will naturally be thoughtful.

The "shopkeeper He" on the ship was already waiting for the inspection of the soldiers.

"This general, our Cheng'an Hall has to come to western Sichuan every year to buy herbs." Shopkeeper He faced a team leader, also known as the general, and he already had some broken silver in his hand, "There are five guys on the boat, four guards, and a doctor who identifies medicinal materials, do you want to call all the small ones or do you want to take a closer look?" ”

"Call them all outside first." The squad leader kept a straight face and didn't take what he handed him.

After a while, several people were called to the deck outside, and the squad leader said in a deep voice: "Third brother, let's go back to the cabin and see if there are any Tibetans." ”

After that, he looked at the shopkeeper He: "You said that there are only ten people in total, if there are still people hidden, you had better confess now." ”

"There is no lie in the next place, just search for it!" Shopkeeper He smiled with him, "Just raise your noble hand, don't spoil some of the medicinal materials that have been received in Xinfan in the cabin." ”

"Lu Yin brought it to me."

"Yes, yes, yes." Shopkeeper He hurriedly took out the road guide from his arms, and there was another voucher, "Our Cheng'an Tang also has a city registration in Guan County. ”

Merchants and citizens must apply for road guidance to travel. On the top of this guide, the name of the businessman, the township, the whereabouts, the reason for going out, the date and physical characteristics are detailed for inspection.

When applying for road guidance, it is natural to pay a certain fee, commonly known as "road guidance money".

The so-called city registration is a certificate that you can open a store and do business in a certain city. There is a city registration, that is, a legal merchant who pays the market rent to the local area, and there will also be a showdown of shop errands, which is considered a local resident.

The captain carefully looked at the words on the road guide and the city register, and kept looking at the face of the shopkeeper.

In the crowd on deck, Gao Kewei was guessing the origin of these soldiers.

A low-level military attache who is inspected in Majiadu is also literate?

I am afraid that this is the most elite officer and soldier in Sichuan.

Looking to a place in the distance of the dock, the grooms were tending to more than twenty horses.

In other words, all of these things examined here are cavalry, and everyone has horses.

Gao Kewei's face was silent, but he was already very clear about the fact in his heart: this could only be dispatched by Xue Lun, and he was already looking for himself.

The squad leader saw that the physical description on the road guide was indeed the shopkeeper himself, and then looked at the ten people in front of him.

The five guys are naturally trembling, and it is normal to look like this. The four stout ones were about the guards, and there was a pedant with a moth-faced face.

The news from above is: Gao Kewei brought a lot of personal soldiers and honor guards when he left the city.

Of course, if you want to escape, you will naturally change your face and hide your tracks. But if he can work into Amber personally lead the team to pursue it, he should not only leave such a few people around Gao Kewei.

At this time, the person who entered the cabin to inspect it carefully also returned: "Brother Xiong, there is no one else on the ship." ”

The squad leader nodded: "Stretch out your hands and let me see." ”

“…… General, what does this mean? Shopkeeper He still had one more mouth, but after seeing his serious face, he hurriedly said, "The little one is more mouthy, the general, please see ......."

He was a little worried.

Gao Kewei quietly stretched out his hand in front of him, and the squad leader looked at him one by one.

It depends on who is pampered?

The five guys naturally have rough palms, and the four pro-soldiers are guards, and their bodies are strong and seem to have practiced.

And when the team leader walked up to Gao Kewei's side, he naturally smelled the smell of him staying in the cabin where all kinds of medicinal herbs were placed for so long.

Since the hands are the doctor's hands, it's normal that they aren't so rough.

"You're a doctor?" The squad leader stopped in front of Gao Kewei, stared into his eyes and asked.

Gao Kewei saw how many big scenes there were, and replied lightly: "The general doesn't believe it? How about the old decay on your number? ”

He looked calm, and the squad leader really stretched out his wrist: "Come on." We are looking for those who are rebellious, and those who cannot be believed, all of them must be carefully verified. ”

After that, he looked at the shopkeeper and the rest of the people, and looked at their expressions.

The shopkeeper of Nahe showed a very nervous and wronged expression: "We are all good citizens who abide by the law and abide by the law, how can we be traitors?" Master Jiang, when did this Chengdu Mansion come out of the thief? No wonder I came to Guan County today to see the general, you ......"

The squad leader focused on Gao Kewei's personal soldiers, although their expressions changed slightly, they didn't say anything or do anything.

Gao Kewei really stretched out his hand, shook his sleeve and then stretched out his finger to take his pulse: dare to pretend to be a doctor, because Gao Kewei is really interested in medical science, he knows a little bit about it, and he can at least talk nonsense.

He wants to pretend to be a team doctor who can distinguish medicinal materials, and he is not a miracle doctor, and the medical knowledge he reserves is enough.

When he was feeling the pulse, he heard the squad leader suddenly speak: "Your number is about the same as that gang of traitors, stay on the boat first!" Be honest and search them one by one! If you are a doctor or not, I will find a real doctor to test! ”

"General! Wronged, this and this ......" The shopkeeper He suddenly became a lot more nervous, and his eyes involuntarily looked at Gao Kewei, "Doctor Wang is really a doctor, why don't you wait for Doctor Wang to finish the pulse of the master and say one or two?" ”

The squad leader still looked at Gao Kewei and the few pro-soldiers, took a step back and said with a cruel smile: "I'd rather catch the mistake than let it go." Little doctor, when you hear that we are looking for a traitor, you can still change your face and give me a number to prove your identity? Brothers, fence it up! ”

"What a grievance!" Shopkeeper He cried with a sad face, and took out two silver ingots in pain, "The small road guide and the city registration are complete, why should the general scare the small one?" Please smile and invite the brothers to eat and drink. ”

He acted like a sensible little businessman, as if the officers and men of this group were scaring them just to extort some money.

The squad leader continued to look at the people in front of him not far away, and behaved vigilantly: "Don't give Lao Tzu this set, there is no ghost in my heart, first obediently let Lao Tzu's soldiers search his body!" ”

For a moment, there was tension on the deck.

"How can you be afraid of the test!" On the contrary, Gao Kewei stood up quite angrily, "If you want to search, you will search." Shopkeeper He, you can add more money to me this time! ”

It seems that he is only dissatisfied because of this twist and turn.

Shopkeeper He could only smile bitterly when he heard this: "Doctor Wang, don't be annoyed, please bear with me first." Forgive me, Dr. Wang's medical skills are quite clever, but his temper is not very good. ”

The squad leader was expressionless, just waved his hand and really let his men search him.

In silence, he kept an eye out for the reaction of the boatload.

And Gao Kewei was afraid that his own people were too nervous, and now he endured the unhappiness in his heart, and let people search out a medical book that he had just seen half of it from his arms.

Naturally, the rest of the people were not found anything special, and the team leader flipped through the medical book and then glanced at Gao Kewei, and then said: "It's true that the search for the traitor is true, you came from Chongqing Mansion, have you encountered a group of more than 30 people pretending to be a caravan in the past two days?" ”

"General, I'm waiting for a layman, more things are better than less, I really didn't pay much attention." Hearing this, the shopkeeper of Nahe sent the silver ingot again, "Since the general believes in us, this point must be accepted, and we will feel at ease." ”

"No need. Go to the wharf and pay the taxes before entering the city, and if you encounter such a group of suspicious people later, report to the official quickly, and there will be a heavy reward. ”

With that, he got off the boat without changing his face, and walked to a boat that was leaning against the ferry.

Gao Kewei breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he had told them before: unless it is absolutely necessary, never do it in a hurry.

None of the officers and men who came to inspect the money were collected, and they were quite disciplined, and they even received orders to deceive, and someone was pointing them out behind them.

Even the best soldiers in Sichuan may not be able to do so much and not collect cash.

It's just because it's a big deal, and if they take the money and it goes bad, then it's hard for them to justify.

As for the orders received, it is necessary to be flexible according to different people, and the leader of each place must be clever.

After breathing a sigh of relief, I only heard the shopkeeper He shouting: "The three of you are on the boat, Doctor Wang, and the six of you, get off the boat with me and enter the city." ”

Everything looks like it's a serious businessman.

He first went into the cabin with Gao Kewei and looked around, although it was indeed a little messed up, but it was obviously just looking for a place where people could hide.

"Sir, when you get down to the docks, will you hire two carriages?" The shopkeeper said solemnly, "I'm afraid that there are a lot of officers and soldiers along the way, so turn into the trail and go to the town east of the city first, and then abandon the carriage and leave quickly?" ”

As soon as I arrived in Guan County, I was afraid that Shuzhong had already laid a net.

Gao Kewei's heart was also heavy, but he shook his head: "It doesn't have to be like this. You entered the city as usual, and on the way I changed my outfit and only walked with Tan Wu. I still have a guide for you, and you and I will meet again at Yue Xi Pengsi. ”

After that, he took out a few pages of paperwork and a few silver tickets, as well as two sets of Taoist robes, from the small mezzanine between the beds in the cabin, which could not hide people at all, and quickly wrapped them.

He had just finished preparing everything when he heard a commotion outside.

"General, how are you ......?"

Shopkeeper He and Gao Kewei walked to the door of the cabin to take a look, only to see that the team leader had gone and returned just now, and there was a rather haggard and embarrassed person beside him. He looked at it with bloodshot eyes, and after seeing Gao Kewei, he stretched out his hand and said, "Even if it's not true, it's one of the stand-ins!" ”

Gao Kewei's heart was shocked, and the team leader seemed to see a baby: "Take it!" ”

Fuck, if it weren't for the fact that after getting off the boat, a person suddenly appeared to stop him, claiming to be the captain of Jinyiwei Sichuan Walking Seat, but he was walked by this Lord Zhentai who has experienced many ups and downs!

This is not a fraud, this group of soldiers all drew their knives with their eyes shining.

"General, what does this mean...... shopkeeper He was still lucky.

Gao Kewei beside him complained bitterly: Why can it be so fast? I fled until the next day!

He knew that after dividing the suspicious soldiers all the way, the four guards left behind at the moment could not resist it at all.

But how can you escape if you are blocked on this pier?

Seeing that the team did not bring bows and arrows, Gao Kewei decisively pushed the shopkeeper of Nahe forward, and then jumped directly into the river.

He was born in Huguang, and he has a good water nature, but he hasn't been in water for many years.

"Hey, your uncle!" The captain in brocade beside the squad leader cursed, lifted his spirits, and then jumped into the water and quickly chased after Gao Kewei.

The ship was already in chaos, and the captain of the squad commanded, "Get the boat quickly, and the bow and arrows!" They're all captured, don't hack to death! ”

Diving into the water, fighting for his life, the shopkeeper He has been kicked over by him.

In the middle of the river, the brocade-clothed lieutenant had already caught up with Gao Kewei, strangling his neck with his backhand and stepping on the water, his head panting outside the water: "Lao Tzu chased you for two days and one night!" Two days and one night! ”

There is a change at 10 o'clock
