Chapter two hundred and eighty sixth

Xu Lequn turned his head and went to the prefecture yard in anger. Li Changjing was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore and took his family straight to the east pier of the city. Zhang Guangcheng's family Zhang Si had already hired a boat, and when Li Changjing arrived, he asked the boatman to untickle the cables.

Han Xiufeng stood at the bow of the boat and nodded with Zhang Guangcheng on the opposite boat, then turned around and said, "Changsheng, let's go too."

"Don't wait for the surname Xu?" Pan Er asked carefully.

"What are you waiting for him to do?" Han Xiufeng asked back, lifted up the curtain and entered the cabin.

Li Xiucai was not sent away. Even if he was sent away for a while, he would not walk far. As soon as he left the city, he hid in the cabin. When he saw Han Xiufeng, he knelt down: "Master Han, I am confused late, and I am obsessed with ghosts late. I am sorry for you..."

"Get up, what are you doing, and you're not afraid of children's jokes." Han Xiufeng looked at his wife who was trembling with her two kids in her arms, and sat down and said, "The past is over. The enemy is here. Besides, these are boring, let alone this official is not the kind of chick-hearted person."

Li Xiucai didn't know how to thank him for a moment, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Han, don't worry, if someone named Xu dares to be the first day of the lunar calendar, I will do it for him to be the fifteenth day of the year. After I go back, I will see how I am..."

How could Han Xiufeng not know what he wanted to say and interrupted: "I was scaring him, but you took it seriously? As the saying goes, "Damn it is not as bad as parents but as sinful as wife and children. Even if he dares to be the first day of the lunar calendar, I can't do the fifteenth like him."

"The surname is Xu..."

"The person surnamed Xu is not as terrible as you think, and not as clever as you think. As long as you avoid today, it is his turn to hide. If you avoid today, you can do whatever you want in the future and go wherever you want. When he hides, he has to hide his identity and dare not return to Taizhou easily, or even dare not show up easily."

Urgent causes chaos.

Li Xiucai's mind was now filled with mud. The more he listened, the more he became more confused, and he couldn't help asking: "Master Han, you treated him like that just now. What if he went to the state yard to report to Xu Laogui?"

"He won't go, he dare not complain to Mr. Xu."

"Why don't he dare?"

"Because if he dares to sue this, it means that he is useless, at least for Mr. Xu. And Mr. Zhang and I were not polite to him in the lobby in the morning, and have already revealed his true feelings. He is useless and implicated in the private salt case of millions of kilograms. Do you think Mr. Xu will let him out of the state yamen?"

Li Xiucai reacted and thought about it and asked again: "If he doesn't sue, will he catch up with him?"

Han Xiufeng sneered: "He will only chase you when he catches up, and will not chase me. Even if he can't chase you, he has to go to Fu'an to report the message so that his family and those merchants can take precautions early. But in this way, he will delay military affairs. If I bring the Third Regiment Township Warrior to Jiangyan but cannot see the food and salary, then what is waiting for him is military law!"

It turned out that when he was ambushing here, Li Xiucai finally understood: "It makes it difficult for him to care about the beginning and end!"

"Yes." Han Xiufeng didn't want to say this to his wife and the baby anymore, so he got up and said, "Mr. Li, you're just staying on the boat. There's nothing to worry about. I'll go discuss business with Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang Er."

"Okay, I'll send you there."

"What are you sending? This is on the boat, let alone you won't show up today and tomorrow."

...

Han Xiufeng asked Pan Er and Ji Da to get into the cabin, and told them that they were optimistic about Li Xiucai's family, so that the boatman could hold on and wait until Zhang Guangcheng's ship arrived beside before jumping over.

While calling Han Xiufeng to sit down for tea, Zhang Guangcheng said regretfully: "Brother Han, the person named Xu is smart but is mistaken for intelligence. Why are we the same? If we had known that he was like a mad dog, we shouldn't have been soft-hearted in the first month of the year. Now, if we leave such a disaster, there will be endless troubles."

"Don't worry if the last person is surnamed Xu, he will disappear soon if nothing unexpected happens."

"What a person who returns to others with his own way!" Li Changjing reacted and gave a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.

Han Xiufeng said helplessly: "Brother Li laughed. Your and my dignified imperial official was actually played with by a private salt dealer. If you tell it, you will be laughed at."

Li Changjing put down the teacup and said hatefully: "Brother Han, this matter is not that simple. What is the person named Xu? Why should he play with you and me in his hands? He just played a clever trick, but in the end, he hit Xu Laogui's thoughts. Xu Laogui simply came to follow the flow."

Zhang Guangcheng agreed and couldn't help but turn around and said, "The old man Xu has bet his family and his life, and no one will believe it. Even if Xu Lequn doesn't offer this trick, he will still send someone else to be your military supervisor."

Han Xiufeng nodded: "That's right, if he really believed me, he would have promised me to go back alone to train the village hero last night."

"What should I do now?" Zhang Guangcheng stared at him and asked.

Han Xiufeng took out the drafting of Xu Ying's charter, and while looking through it, he said helplessly: "Do as he said, what else can you do?"

Thinking that Han Xiufeng could find an excuse to not take the village to guard the city, Li Changjing said with a guilty look: "Brother Han, I really don't want to make things difficult for you, but now I have no other way."

Before Han Xiufeng could speak, Zhang Guangcheng looked up and said, "There is a way."

"What method?" Li Changjing asked anxiously.

"Brother Han, Mr. Li's family and I are all in the city. If you ignore me and just run away from your own life, it will be unfaithful and unfilial, so I must take the village hero back to defend the city. But you don't have to go. Whether you are sick or injured, it's too easy to find an excuse."

"This is a solution. Brother Han, your family is not in the city, so you don't need to go into the city with us." Li Changjing looked sincere.

Han Xiufeng didn't expect Zhang Guangcheng to come up with this solution, and even more so that Li Changjing would be so easy to talk. He was a little moved. After a while, he looked up and said, "You two are so kind. Xiufeng is very grateful. It is too early to say this. The most urgent thing is to find out whether Jiangning has fallen and where the two north and south armies of Xiang Rong and Qishan have arrived."

"Yes, yes, how could I forget the reinforcements!" Zhang Guangcheng suddenly reacted and couldn't help but smile: "If Xiang Rong and Qishan's north and south troops could arrive before the bandits arrived at Yangzhou City, there would be nothing to worry about!"

"What if reinforcements can't catch up?" Li Changjing asked in a low voice.

Zhang Guangcheng pondered: "Yangzhou is more than 100 miles away from Taizhou. Old Gui Xu is busy demolishing bridges and filling rivers. It is not that easy to walk on land or water. Even if the bandits capture Yangzhou, they will have to rest for a while, and this time must be counted."

"Guangcheng, don't forget how Wuchang fell!" Li Changjing reminded.
