"What's going on?" Li Dan put down the wine and asked back.

Liu Erye replied with his hands crossed: "San Lang, there are a few public servants looking for you outside." ”

There was a loud bang in the room. Han An hurriedly said: "Slow down, slow down." Then he asked the man, "Who is the leader?" ”

"It's the leader of Wei Xiong." Seeing that everyone was staring at each other and were about to fight out, the guy was so frightened that his teeth "clicked".

"Oh!" Han An turned around and leaned down and said in Li Dan's ear: "It's the leader of Wei who is fine, it shouldn't be for Yang Baihu's business." ”

What this means is that if you want to catch a hundred households, you have to come forward in person.

Li Dan nodded, got up and pressed his hand: "Brothers, it shouldn't be a big deal." I'll take a look later. After speaking, he straightened the sleeves of his robe and asked the guy to lead him downstairs to see Wei Xiong.

When I came down, it turned out that Wei Xiong was sitting and drinking tea in the store, and the two servants were talking and chatting with coarse porcelain bowls under the shed outside and didn't come in.

"Yo, Saburo is really here. The little ones are specially looking for you and reporting to you. Seeing him come down, Wei Xiong hurriedly got up and hugged his fists.

"Oh? Lao Wei, you are here specifically? What's urgent? Li Dan was quite surprised.

"Let's talk about business first." Wei Xiong earnestly invited him to sit down, sat half of his ass himself, and then said:

"There's a commotion in the south! The miners of Xianxialing made trouble and killed a senator of the Fujian Political Division, and the officers and soldiers escorted the wounded commander and fled to Jiangshan County to gain a foothold.

The official document of Raozhou Mansion has already arrived in the county, and it is necessary to recruit a total number of troops (about 450 people) to aid Lead Mountain in Wannian, and let our county send 120 husbands to Wannian within 15 days. ”

Li Dan listened to it for a long time and was inexplicable: "Speaking of which, what does this matter have to do with me?" ”

Wei Xiong smiled "hehe", pointed at him and said, "San Lang, your name as a 'little Yuanba' is too loud!"

These masters are to be led by two captains, General Zhao Yi pointed to one Zhao Cheng, and the other recommended you. ”

"Huh?" Li Dan was taken aback, and just wanted to express it, but suddenly remembered that he had reached the age of fifteen, and he was indeed old enough to apply.

However, ......, he patted the back of his head: "No, I have never heard of anyone in the Li family who served as a husband, my father was the prefect of the fourth grade during his lifetime, what is the reason why this errand was sent to my house?" ”

"You don't know?" Wei Xiong was stunned: "Your family handed over the application form, asking the three households to separate their own doors, and a few days later, Master Fan personally came to witness the implementation."

Your mother applied to the county for a second house and two households on the grounds that San Lang was fifteen years old and could stand on her own, and Master Fan approved it.

Therefore, the registration book of the household has been changed this afternoon, and you and Li Qian are already a ...... of their own. ”

Before he finished speaking, Li Dan was already full of anger: "I didn't expect them to bully me like this!" ”

He finally understood the reason why the county sent him to the head, and you are over fifteen years old, of course, you should deal with the conscription and taxes on your own.

So catch up with this thing others recommend, there is no problem!

Speaking of recommending Li Dan, he was even more angry: "General Zhaoyi? Are you saying that Zhao Zhaoxuan and his father recommended me to Master Fan? ”

"Exactly, the county honored him not only for the sake of the servant, but also because the government ordered all counties to strengthen their vigilance to prevent bandits from taking the opportunity to incite and cause chaos, so General Zhaoyi was invited to discuss."

"He's a! Recommend? I think his ill intentions and personal vendetta are true! Li Dan said indignantly:

"My uncle and third uncle had already made up the idea of splitting the family, and I said how could they eat and drink with the county lord and clan elders?

But this house is really fast enough, and when I'm still drunk here, people have done everything. Hmph, I don't know how much money my mother made? ”

"Saburo is cautious!" Wei Xiong hurriedly waved his hand at him: "I'm here to deliver the news to you, don't get involved." ”

"Don't worry!" Li Dan knew that he had lost his words, so he hurriedly apologized: "If you talk too much after drinking, something is inappropriate, Brother Wan Haihan!" ”

Suddenly remembered what he had just said: "Eh, yes, you just said that this is a public matter, is there a private matter?" ”

"Uh......." Wei Xiong's face was embarrassed, he looked at Li Dan's angry appearance and thought that if he forgot it, he wouldn't mention it, but who expected that this brother had a good memory.

"San Lang, if I say it, don't be angry." He spoke cautiously.

"Huh? You say, what are you talking about? Li Dan was impatient.

"Before I came out, I had a special messenger from Tianfu and brought a will......."

"It's related to the Chen family, what do you say?" Li Dan's eyes immediately widened.

"The emperor changed the sentence of Master Chen to be confiscated into the army and sent to Lanzhou."

This thunderbolt on a sunny day stunned Li Dan. Going to Lanzhou? That, all the original thoughts were in vain, what should I do with my dreams? How could she stand it in such a bitter cold place?

He got up with a "pout". Wei Xiong's public servant had already seen the situation, stretched out his hand and hugged him, shouting, "Brother, no, no!" ”

"What can't you do?" Li Dan asked blankly.

"You forgot? The county master has assigned you to take your master to Wannian, and at this time, you don't dare to have an accident, and you are accused of deliberately fighting to escape the errand, then your future is dead!

Think about your aunt, if you have a strength, how can she be good? ”

Li Dan glared and turned his head to look at him, nodded slowly, and said, "Oh——, you didn't come to report the news for a long time, you came to block me on the order of the county honor, right?" ”

Seeing Wei Xiong's embarrassed grin, he shouted: "You let go, let go!" ”

Wei Xiong knew very well that he couldn't stop it alone, and it was enough to bring those two.

In a hurry, it happened that Gu Da, Yang Yi and others heard the movement and came down from above to check, and Wei Xiong shouted: "Xiao Yi, help, San Lang is going out to make trouble!" ”

Gu Da and the others didn't ask any reason when they heard this, they hugged Li Dan and pulled their arms and legs, and shouted one by one: "San Lang, don't he!" ”

On the contrary, the two servants outside the door heard their heads and poked their heads, staring at each other with wide eyes and wondering what was going on.

Li Dan was helpless and shouted, "Let it go." He turned his head and asked Gu Da, "Do you know what I'm going to do?" ”

"I don't know, where is Saburo going?"

"I wonder you're still holding my legs?"

Yang Yi recognized the truth when he heard it: "Then, where is San Lang going?" ”

Li Dan turned to Wei Xiong: "What do you say?" ”

"San Lang is going to General Zhaoyi's Mansion to smash the door?"

"Wrong!" Li Dan sneered: "I want to go home." ”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and gradually let go. Liu Er complained:

"Look at you, you rushed up without hearing clearly, I thought something was wrong. What is it worth all the fuss that Saburo wants to go home? ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Dan somehow shook his body and got rid of everyone, jumped out of the circle with "support", and then turned his body to the center of the street, and said loudly:

"Oh, I'm going to get a stick at home, and I'm going to rob the prisoner's car! Stand still, and no one will come with you! With that, he pulled his legs apart and ran.

Wei Xiong shouted from behind: "San Lang, Tiqi has already set off, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up!" Li Dan ignored it and just ran away.

The old housekeeper Li Puzheng was staring at the door with his hands behind his back, and suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him, and looked back inside, only to see a back.

"Who's that?" He asked Shuji, who was standing by the door in a daze.

"Uh, it seems to be Saburo." Xiu Er bowed flatteringly and replied: "In our house, only San Lang can run so fast." ”

Li Dan was standing outside the door of his courtyard at this time, in a daze, hesitating about what he should do first.

Judging from Wei Xiong's words, the uncle, mother and third uncle have quietly decided on the matter of property separation, and even the matter of separating the second room has been completed this afternoon.

The county has always done things slowly, but this time it's fast! But Li Dan didn't have time to figure out why it was so fast, he was thinking about whether to tell his aunt about it.

Just as I was thinking, the door opened. Pei Xi came out with a basin of water and splashed it on the stone face of the roadway. Seeing him in a blink of an eye, he smiled and said, "Hey, why didn't my brother go in?" Aunt Gang is still asking ....... ”

"Shh Li Dan stretched out a finger to silence her, then beckoned her over and commanded softly: "You go and get my iron rod, I want to go out of the city." ”

"Out of town so late?" Betsy looked up at the sky.

At this time, Li Dan noticed that the sunset was dyeing half of the sky red, and he couldn't get out if he didn't leave to catch up with the city gate. As for the dissolution of the property, let's talk about it tomorrow.

"My aunt told me that I have to go out of the city, and someone came to look for me tonight, and said that I was cold from eating and drinking, and I had burned my feet and fell asleep first."

Bei Xi responded, quietly went in, laboriously carried out the Qimei stick wrapped in iron at both ends behind the door and handed it to Li Dan, and whispered: "Brother, be careful, don't cause trouble when you go out!" ”

"Got it." Li Dan was about to leave with a stick, thinking that it would be better to leave a sentence, so he told Pei Xi what Wei Xiong said today about the separation of property and the separation of the second room, and then admonished:

"You tell your aunt this, and then tell her that I am touching a village outside the city, and when we find a good place, we will move out and live, and we will not suffer from this Laosh here!"

Tell her to brake quietly, and now don't provoke the front yard. ”

"Oh my God, is the front yard really going to kick us out? Then, you're not here, what can my aunt do? Bexi stomped her foot anxiously.

Li Dan thought for a moment and smiled: "I'll be back soon, and it's not difficult to talk about my aunt's ability to deal with this." Just tell her and give her peace of mind! ”

After saying that, he ran a few steps, turned around and waved his hand, and then disappeared at the end of the alley.

But Li Dan couldn't carry the stick out of the main gate in a big way, he first went to the back to find some strips of cloth to wrap around the two ends of the stick, so that it looked like a flat pole, and then turned out of the wall and hurried towards the water gate.

Why Watergate? The south gate of Yugan is called Desheng Gate, which is the land route to Guixi through Yushui. The east gate is also called Yufeng Gate, which is 10,000 years old, and it is even more impossible for Tiqi to go.

Peng Zemen in the north goes to Poyang, the capital city of Raozhou. If you want to go to Nanchang Mansion, you can only walk through the water gate of Dongshan Wharf - also called Dongshan Gate.

From here, get on the boat and take the waterway through Longjin into the Xinjiang River, go ashore at Tangnandu in Wuyang River, and then go by land.

It's fastest, less effort, and safest. Nothing else should be a choice for Ti Ride.

He walked quickly, and when he arrived at the Watergate Pier, he stopped a familiar chief and asked, "Have you ever seen two knights in red?" ”

"San Lang, what are you doing when you have time to come to Nancheng today?" Nashi Chang just said a word, noticed the anxious look on his face, and quickly changed his serious tone and said:

"Just now they have been looking for a boat to Nanchang here, I remember...... It seems to be going to the E-shaped pier outside the city. There was an ox cart and four men following ....... ”

Li Dan didn't have the heart to listen to what he said, so he shouted "thank you" and hurriedly ran out of the city.

It turns out that this Dongshan Gate has both water and land gates. The water gate, also called the water gate, has three arch gates, and the wooden fence is lowered to block it at night.

Entering is a sluice gate and a sluice gate for collecting taxes, and after passing through the sluice gate, there is a small berth inside, surrounded by a ring of walls.

From left to right, there is a row from A to the five inner piers of the E-shaped area. Ships that have paid taxes can stay overnight at the dock to unload, load or disembark to purchase supplies.

Ships that do not pay taxes are fortunate to dock at the temporary wharf by the lake outside the city, which is also from A to E.

Because it was inconvenient to replenish and load goods, most of the ships docked here were passenger ships, and they were not allowed to stay overnight fifty paces close to the city wall, and they had to move to a farther anchor at night.

The real Dongsan Gate is actually a land gate next to the water gate, and guests who disembark from the boat outside can pass through this gate on foot, in a horse-drawn carriage, or in a sedan chair.

The doorway was not wide, just large enough for two carriages to walk side by side.

Five zhang away is a circle of urn city wall added after the establishment of the country, the urn city gate faces east of the lake but is narrower, the carriage has to go out to come in again.

The outer Wuzi wharf was the farthest away from the city gate, and Li Dan ran south fifty zhang away before he saw the wharf.

There was an official boat and a sand boat docked on the dock, and a man who looked like an errand boy was leading a horse down the sand boat cabin from the pedal.

On the other side, you can see that it seems that the female dependents are uploading, and there are errand servants on the shore carrying luggage.

Two men with swords were talking on the shore, and when they saw him hurrying over, they immediately shouted, "Who is it?" The family of the prisoner is here, and the idlers avoid it! ”
