Chapter 217: Jining Mansion 4
Tong Yunfei and Hao Yan walked a distance away from the city gate, seeing that it was very quiet here, Tong Yunfei untied his burden and took out the flying rope claw, grabbed the rope tail with his left hand, and shook the rope claw with his right hand and shook it a few times and threw it at the head of the city wall. Said: 'Miss Hao, you go up first, and then when I go up, take Fei Capture over there and go out of the city.' Hao Yan took the rope and tightened it, kicked the city wall, quickly changed positions with both hands, kicked with both feet, and quickly moved up, and reached the city wall in a while.
Tong Yunfei saw that Hao Yan had arrived safely, and he seemed to be faster than himself, and secretly said: "I really don't know what tricks the eldest brother taught them, and their kung fu has grown so fast." No one told him that he couldn't figure it out if he wanted to break his head, so he didn't think about it, he tied his baggage and carried it on his back, and he grabbed the rope and pedaled the wall and walked up, and soon he reached the top of the wall. The two of them went down to the outside of the city wall with their rope claws, walked along the city wall to the city gate, and then walked north along the official road. The two walked for a while and then performed light skills and galloped, at first the speed of the two was comparable, and then Tong Yunfei gradually felt backward, Hao Yan deliberately slowed down when he saw this, and kept up with him, and rushed to the Anping ferry of the canal in about an hour. Seeing that there was a ferry moored on the shore, Tong Yunfei walked over to take a look, and saw that there was no one and no oars.
Hao Yan said: "It seems that the boatman has gone back to rest, or I will leave sooner." Tong Yunfei pointed to the people not far away and said, "I'll go over and see if I can find the boatman, if I can find it, it's better to cross the river now." Hao Yan said: "It's okay." With that, the two of them walked towards their house. When they came to the front of the house, Tong Yunfei stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response, and then knocked a few more times. An old man's voice in the room said, 'Who's. I just fell asleep and knocked on the door. Tong Yunfei said: "May I ask where the boatman of this ferry lives." The old man inside said, "I am the boatman." There is nothing to do, and it is not to cross at night. Tong Yunfei begged: "We have an urgent matter to cross the river, so please trouble you to cross us, and we will give us more silver." The old man said, "No, it really can't be done at night." ’
Tong Yunfei saw that the old man was reluctant to cross for a while and had no idea, so he said to Hao Yan: "Miss Hao, you see how this is good. Hao Yan said: "Some people eat hard but not soft, and they don't eat coaxing." You just scare him hard. Tong Yunfei thought for a while and said loudly: "This son and you have good words to discuss it, you don't take it seriously, if you don't cross the river immediately, then you don't have to ferry again in the future, I will burn this house on fire, and then burn the boat, I don't think you need to come out of this house." This was really effective, and the old man trembled with fright, and hurriedly said, "Don't do this, uncle, I will cross you across the river." Tong Yunfei looked at Hao Yan and smiled secretly, and raised his big mother finger and whispered: "It's better for you to do this." ’
After a while, the old man opened the door and walked out, saying, "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to cross you. It is indeed dangerous at night. Tong Yunfei said in a bad tone: "Don't talk nonsense, you can't do without your silver to cross the river well." If you dare to play any tricks, you will pay for the consequences, and don't blame me for not reminding you then. The old man said: "Don't worry, uncle, the little ones will never dare to be careless, and they will definitely get you through the past." When the old man had finished speaking, he went to put the oars against the oars and walked towards the ferry.
Tong Yunfei and Hao Yan followed the old man on the ferry, the old man loaded the oars and rowed the ferry away, and soon arrived at the opposite bank, Tong Yunfei took out five taels of silver to the old man, the old man was so frightened that he didn't dare to take it, and said: "Uncle, why use so much silver, just give a few pennies." Tong Yunfei said: "My son's words are counted, and he will not break his promise if he says that he will give you more silver, if you don't cross me tonight, your house and boat will be burned." The old man said, "What the uncle said is that I will accept the small ones." After speaking, he took the silver, watched Tong Yunfei and Hao Yan go ashore, and secretly said: "I really don't understand whether you are a good person or a bad person, it looks like a domineering good person." ’
After crossing the river is Anping Town, Tong Yunfei and Hao Yan found an inn to rest, got up early the next morning and hurried, rushed to Wenshang County at 11 o'clock at noon, found a restaurant to eat, and continued to hurry after eating.
Besides, Su Jinwen, the magistrate of Yunxiang County, confronted the prefect Zhou Bingkang and added the task of paying taxes, and the prefect of Zhou's secret repair document was sent to the capital and handed over to Li Gelao, Li Gelao was furious when he read the letter, saying that he was a small county and wanted to turn over the big waves. The emperor was addicted to pills and was too lazy to care about these things, so he casually said that it would be good for the old man to do these little things. Li Ge Lao knew that he was a Qingzhi County, and he didn't raid his home because he didn't have any oil and water at home, so he issued an edict to remove him from his official position and demote him to a grass people.
After receiving the edict, the Zhou Governor immediately went to Yunxiang County to reduce Suzhi County to the people, and the county affairs were temporarily managed by the county lieutenant. Su Zhixian felt that he had great grievances and wrongs, and he couldn't bear this breath, so he packed his bags and went to the capital to sue the royal court, and when he traveled to the ferry, he was seen by a person named Xiong Yuanwai, who was the cousin of the housekeeper of the Zhou Governor's Mansion, Xiong Yuanwai knew that Su Zhixian was wronged by being dismissed, and saw that he was carrying his bags as if he was going to go far away, and saw that he was going north, and secretly said: ' I heard that this Su Zhi County is a native of Huainan, and this dismissed official did not go home but went north, did he want to go to Beijing to complain, if this is the case, I will go to sue Lord Zhou, it must be a great achievement, I think Lord Zhou will not treat me badly, I asked my cousin to take me to see Lord Zhou, and my cousin, the housekeeper, will also have face. The more Xiong Yuanwai thought about it, the more excited he became, and when he thought of it, he immediately hired a boat to go from the canal to Jining Mansion.
Xiong Yuanwai Jining Mansion dock got off the boat and hurried towards the prefect's yamen, he came to the yamen and walked towards the side door, walked to the side door and knocked on the door a few times, after a while an old mother opened the door, looked out and smiled: "It's Xiong Yuanwai, it's to find Shi Daguan's family for something." Xiong Yuanwai said, "Yes, do you know where he is, please call him over and say that there is an emergency." Xiong Yuanwai walked into the door as he spoke, and the old mother closed the door and bolted it, and said, "Xiong Yuanwai, you go to the big steward's residence and wait, I'll call the big steward Shi, and then leave." Xiong Yuanwai walked towards the side courtyard.
Xiong Yuan came to the door of his cousin Shi Da's housekeeper's house, and when he saw that the door was locked, he paced around the door, and after a while, a middle-aged man came and said, "Cousin, you are in a hurry to find me. Xiong Yuanwai said: "It's not that I have an urgent matter, this matter should be urgent and important to the prefect." Steward Shi said, "Oh, it's our Lord Zhou's business, you can tell me what's going on." Xiong Yuanwai told him about what he saw in Su Zhixian at the ferry, as well as his own thoughts. Steward Shi said: "If there is such a thing, I will take you to see Lord Zhou." With that, the two of them walked towards the inner courtyard. (To be continued......)
