Li Chengliang took Hengyue, Wan Qisong, Liu Jian, accompanied by Xie Huaiyuan, several people quickly whipped their horses, horses and people did not stop, each person three horses switched back and forth, running endlessly, comparable to Meng Yuan's elite light horse, several people were full of spirit, three days and three nights gritted their teeth and marched west for more than 1,000 miles, and on the afternoon of the fourth day of departure, Hankou Town, which is located on the Yangtze River, the gathering place for waterway transshipment, was in front of everyone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is a pearl town in the south of the Ming Dynasty, although it is still under the jurisdiction of Hanyang County, but with the unique status of the hub of water and land transportation has become a new merchant and passenger wharf in the south of the Ming Dynasty, which is more than the scale of Jingjiang County where Li Chengliang and others crossed the river before, and because this place is driven by the prosperity of freight and overseas trade in the south of the Yangtze River has just risen, so there is no intricate local power, and the imperial court also attaches great importance to this place, and specially sent a thousand-person Shenji battalion to garrison to deter people with ill intentions and ensure the safety of this place。

After several days of sleepless walking, the physical strength and energy of Li Chengliang and others had been exhausted, Xie Huaiyuan was in a slightly better state because of his profound skills, but there was also a look of fatigue on his face, and his eyes were a little sluggish. In view of this, everyone immediately decided to rest for the rest of the night, to recuperate, and to let the horses have a good rest.

After the discussion, on behalf of the Mo Pavilion walked over to the head of Hengyue along the Kuixing Pavilion to lead the way, everyone handed over the official road to him to the sergeant guarding the door one by one, wrapped the cloth bag of the blade and hid it under the saddle, several people passed the inventory point while Liu Jian took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve from time to time and put it in the palm of the sergeant's hand, and the sergeant turned a blind eye to the fact that they were carrying a sharp blade on the face of the silver after confirming that their identity was correct, and wrote down the identity of the martial arts master on the road to several people in the rank book。 The group passed through the inventory point at the city gate, and then headed towards one of Moge's strongholds here under the leadership of Hengyue.

Here is to say a few more words, the official certificate in the official certificate refers to the person who has been compiled into the official file of the household registration of the Ming Dynasty to prove that the identity is legitimate, not the credential of the black household, with this thing, it is useful to meet the local household inspection, the political envoy Si Bu Shi Ji As for the road guide, it is issued by the government office to which the official certificate belongs, allowing people who should be bound to the local fields to walk within the boundaries of the Ming Dynasty, pass through the passes, and enter and exit the city in other places must rely on him to prove his identity, otherwise he will be sent back to his hometown as a displaced person or directly imprisoned on the spot as a forced servant.

The official certificate and driving post that Li Chengliang and the others were holding at this time would naturally not be the official certificate and errand card of the Jinyi Wei Qianhu that Song Chi got from Chen Yin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, from Chen Yin, was used to respond to emergencies at critical moments. In Hankou Town, such a waterway town is generally guarded by thousands of Jinyi guards with a different number of Jinyi guards, if you meet everyone is at the same level, you hold the effect in your hand is to prove that the arrest of people is legal driving post on other people's territory to enforce the law, once you ask to reveal the stuffing, you will immediately be treated as a "thief" like a character by heavy soldiers to be surrounded and suppressed.

The official basis in their hands now is that Moge has accumulated a large number of people who have been found to have this person through the liaison relationship with officials at all levels of the Zhejiang Provincial Political Envoy Department and the Criminal Prosecution Department, but in fact, there is no official certificate of this person, and the only price to be paid is that the Moge has to pay the corresponding silver tax to the Political Envoy and the Criminal Envoy Department every year according to the capitation. With these things, although most of the people in Moge were called his surname by Zhang Guan Li Dai when they went out, this way was indeed a lot more convenient, and it was impossible for the garrison sergeants in those cities to know that the identities of these real people in front of them were fabricated. As for the road guide, it is even simpler, Moge sends disciples to garrison many coastal passes in Zhejiang and Fujian every year, and contributes a lot to the command of the two provinces, plus the face of the silver two, it is natural to be able to get the road guide that is needed, which can be called the freedom to come and go.

And this small place is also a place that shows the heritage of the ink pavilion, many years of painstaking management of such a place in the link is usually not particularly important, once something happens, sometimes it can save lives (with an official legal identity in and out of the city to avoid the pursuit of people who see the light, etc., these people are generally difficult to blend into the city) things, like the horse gang should know wrong, the last time I participated in this month's building meeting, when the factions still gathered together to discuss the advance and retreat together, I found out that he was a black household, and the horse gang didn't need any identity to go to the wild road on weekdays, and I really wanted to do something on the table, and immediately showed some eyes, and finally operated in the most powerful beggar gang in the capital, so that Ying Zhifei was able to take his disciples into the city as merchants, and the blades were hidden in a special secret box and brought into the capital, so as to avoid the embarrassment of being questioned by the Admiral of the Nine Gates.

Li Chengliang is actually okay, originally he was counted as a farmer in Tielingwei, but he was temporarily transferred to Zhejiang by Bai Mosheng. Unlike Liu Jian and Hengyue, who were destroyed by the invasion of the Japanese invaders, they were accepted by Moge and disappeared, and after they disappeared, they were directly cancelled by the county government and became people who had already entered the ground.

No, Liu Jian and Hengyue, who bear the names of "Liu Dacheng" and "Cheng Shoucai", are burying their faces, as if they are observing the details of the workmanship of the pendant on the saddle, and they don't care about the ridicule of Wan Qisong, who belongs to the same "status" as Li Chengliang.

Everyone laughed and walked into the city for several miles, and then took out the blade hidden under the saddle, although the sergeant at the gate of the city saw that the money was allowed to go, but it was still not too high-profile, in case the Jinyi guard who patrolled the street was witnessed "holding a sharp knife and plotting against him", then he would be speechless. So at this time, he took out the blade, and Li Chengliang and the others were all rolled up with cloth and carried on their backs, so that they didn't have to worry too much even if they were caught and questioned by Jinyiwei. At this time, Xie Huaiyuan's "thunderbolt bamboo stick" would not be caricatured by these young people who admired swords as the old man's support cane in their hearts.

No matter how much it didn't take, a few people came to Moge's station in Hankou Town - "Haiyuan Inn", Hengyue walked straight into the hall, ignoring the eager inquiry of the little two who ran the hall to meet the "tip or live in the store", and directly connected with the shopkeeper with the code.

After confirming each other's identities in a few words, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted them from the counter, pulled a few people directly up to the second floor, and instructed the guys, who were both junior and disciples of Moge, to lead several people's horses to the stable and take good care of them.

Everyone was taken by the shopkeeper to a single room on the second floor and just sat down, and the shopkeeper with a nervous look carefully closed the doors and windows, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you so unlucky, Huguangbu Political Envoy Si Yamen has just informed the three towns (Wuchang, Hankou, Hanyang) that all the curfews are under martial law, and they are not allowed to enter or leave for the time being. ”
