From the Hongyuan City to the city, and then to the Baihe River, it is about a dozen miles, but because of the towing family, carrying a large amount of gold and silver, and there are no horses and donkeys to travel, Li Yansi's group of more than ten people walked for more than two hours.

Running on a snowy night, except for a few sturdy guards, the rest of the people suffered a lot, including Li Yansi, who didn't know how many times he fell.

When it was easy to get to the White River, it was already ugly. In a shallow bay, several guards went down to the river, uncovered a pile of straw cloth, and a small boat was revealed underneath, but it was a ferry boat that Li Yansi had secretly built in the past two years.

On the riverbank, Li Yansi looked back at the way he came, not only stomped his feet and sighed: "The foundation of the Li family for nearly a hundred years is destroyed today!"

The butler persuaded: "Master, let's board the ship quickly, and leave a useful body for the future, so that I can't kill it again." ”

Xue Lushi and the two concubines climbed onto the boat panting, and then they were shocked for a while, and couldn't help crying, even with the two children.

Li Yansi shouted: "Silence the silence! Do you want to recruit the Ming army? Whoever cries again will throw him into the river!"

Although the White River is not wide, the widest part is at best a hundred zhang, but the current is turbulent, there are many reefs and whirlpools, and the water surface of such a wild ferry is very dangerous, let alone sailing at night.

Li Yansi originally planned to cross the river when the sky was about to dawn, not only to be able to see the river roughly but also to start before the Ming army cruised, but after waiting for a while, he had just eaten some food to replenish his strength, and saw a fire dragon lighting up at the end of the road in the distance, and there were gusts of dog barking along with the night wind.

Everyone was suddenly frightened, and Li Yansi muttered, "Why are the chasing soldiers here? Could it be that the White Horse Courtyard started so quickly?"

Several guards were in a hurry, untying the rope and pushing the boat, pushing the boat from the shore into the river. The housekeeper dragged Li Yansi from the riverbank of Zhang Xu Gao to the water's edge, and the two of them rolled down together, their faces covered with mud and extremely embarrassed. Fortunately, he was not injured, and the housekeeper got up and pushed Li Yansi into the wooden boat.

Li Yan Siwu was spontaneously stunned, then patted the boat gang, gritted his teeth and said: "Good you are Zehui, good you are a strong man, you dare to betray Lao Tzu!

The boat slowly sailed away from the riverbank, and soon merged into the turbulent river, swirling and undulating in the whirlpools and shoals, and almost capsized several times, which was really dangerous.

Lu Fangzhu chased to the shore, and he couldn't see the truth in the river clearly, but he could vaguely hear the movement, and in the faint night light, he seemed to be able to see the outline of the boat in the middle of the river.

Li Yansi is also a fortune teller, it seems that there is a blessing of the Buddha in the dark, along the way, there are many dangers, but they can avoid the past, and they all rowed upstream for half an hour, and they actually crossed to the other side!

At dawn, Zhao Ran received a report in the White Horse Courtyard, and Li Yansi ran away, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. Listening to Lu Fangzhu combing the ins and outs, he couldn't help but admire a little, this party leader is really powerful, he sees the opportunity very quickly, and it can be called cunning!

Lord Lu asked for responsibility, Zhao Ran comforted him with kind words, did not criticize, but praised him for his hard work all night, and then told them to go back to rest as soon as possible and get a good night's sleep.

Zhao Ran is not a leader who only looks at the results, and at the same time he will also look at the process, as long as the procedure is correct and there are no mistakes in the process, even if the result is not good, he will not punish his subordinates for this.

Among the party members, Li Yansi escaped, Qiangxiong was arrested, Zehui anyway, now the dragons are leaderless, Zhao Ran immediately ordered, release grain tomorrow!

On the morning of December 17, Bao Zhong led the people of the Dangxiang clan to the construction site of the turnover house outside the city, when he heard the Taoist priest of the White Horse Courtyard announce the good news: This afternoon, the work will be suspended, except for the party prisoners who are guilty of serving in crimes, everyone can go to the White Horse Courtyard to receive relief food distributed by the Daomen.

Hearing this, the people were overjoyed, not only the party laborers were happy, but all the Hermes-Epitek laborers were grateful from the bottom of their hearts, and the enthusiasm of everyone was extremely high, and they worked very hard.

In the afternoon, after the meal, the Taoist priests of the pawn house organized everyone, lined up in a queue, and marched to the White Horse Temple. In the queue, there is no distinction between party members and Han people, only men and women, women in the front and men in the back, and Bao Zhong's side is not Xizhong, Jingcheng and Uncle These clansmen, but other Han people in the same process.

The patrol of the square hall of the White Horse Courtyard and the Ming soldiers in red jackets maintained the queue, and the hundreds of people who were loyal to them were surrounded on the main street outside the gate of the White Horse Courtyard and waited. The laborers on these construction sites are the first to receive the alms, and the rest will come to receive them on the 18th and 19th.

After waiting for a while, I only heard a bell ringing, the gate of the White Horse Courtyard was opened, and the square hall inspector counted the heads and released people inside, five in each row, six rows in a row, and Bao Zhong was in the fifth row, followed the first batch into the White Horse Courtyard.

I saw a few bookcases lined up on the Xuanchang in front of the Cihang Palace, more than a dozen Taoist priests sat behind the bookcase, each holding a pen and paper, waiting for the grain, behind the bookcase, there was a bag of white cloth bags, each pocket was bulging, no matter what it was, it must be a relief of food.

On the other side of the Xuanchang, a forbidden area was pulled with hemp rope, and large bags of open grain were piled up in the forbidden area, and the types of grain were relatively miscellaneous, including barley, millet, rice, and dried meat, and there were some bladed furniture, silk and satin, clothes, cloth, furniture, porcelain, scattered silver, copper coins, and so on. These things are piled up like a hill, and I don't know what they are for.

Standing still in front of the Xuanchang, I saw Lord Lu Fang come forward, pointed to the pile of small mountains of goods and introduced them loudly, it turned out that they were all copied from Li Yansi and Qiang Xiong, the two party leaders.

Hearing that the food was all withheld by Li Yansi and Qiang Xiong from the relief distributed to everyone in the White Horse Academy, and other property also came from the two leaders, the party members in the queue suddenly made a big uproar, and the angry scolding suddenly rang out.

Bao Zhong stood in the queue, he didn't scold, but looking at so many belongings and grains piled up here, especially seeing a few bags of medicinal herbs among them, thinking that his wife almost died of illness, a wave of happiness suddenly appeared in his heart, and he gritted his back molars and said secretly: "Yes!"

After Lu Fang finished speaking, he instructed the steps to receive relief again, and then waved his hand, and everyone lined up to enter the Cihang Palace.

There were several Taoist priests from the guest hall and the scripture hall already waiting in it, and when everyone stood up, they rang the bell chime and the wooden fish, and began to lead the recitation:

"Zhuang Wang Yuxiu, born by the emperor's order......"

"Teach the South Seas, and save the calamity by the edict. Respond to the voice and be merciful. The holy virtue is manifested, and the mystical power is unpredictable...... The outer way is upright, and the evil demons are corrected......"

"Great compassion, great sage, great mercy. Find the voice to help the suffering, and eliminate the disaster at will. The Emperor of Biluo Cave is the Emperor of the Heavenly Emperor, and the Yuantong is free and the Heavenly Venerable ......"
