Chapter 83 Know yourself and the enemy
After going out, Han Xiufeng didn't want to cause any trouble, so he took the letter he wrote from home in the morning from Pan's hand, ran downstairs and handed it to the clerk at the inn. After thanking him again, he took everyone to the dock.
Du San was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so he followed him and said plausibly: "Second brother, I know you don't want to cause trouble, but now if you don't look for trouble, trouble will come to you! If that official is determined to take revenge, then
They will definitely be able to catch up, and the Chuanjiang River is so wide that it is impossible to hide even if you want to."
"Brother, what I just said is just speculation."
"If you're not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. What if he finds out?" Du San grabbed him and said eagerly: "We must be going to the capital. Even if we want to take the dry road, we have to take a boat to Hanyang first.
, and the fastest trip from here to Hanyang is about ten days!”
Pan Er was most afraid of falling into the hands of the magistrate, so he said with a grimace: "Master, if they found out early in the morning that it was us who were hiding on the boat the night before yesterday, and if they sent people to chase them as soon as they found out, then the pursuers would be gone."
We're not far away. We can leave now, but what will we do when it gets dark?"
Han Xiufeng was worried about this, so he turned around and asked, "Fifth brother, can we sail at night?"
Qin Wu said with a bitter face: "Mr. Han, how can we sail at night?"
"Master, the fact that Fifth Brother doesn't dare doesn't mean they don't dare!" Pan Er looked back at the river and said with a sad face: "We really offended him to death in Ba County. If they knew, they would chase him here desperately.
.If we are caught up by them, we will have to shed our skin even if we don't die."
"It's okay if we don't leave," Han Xiufeng gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Anyway, we are going to fill the vacancy. It doesn't matter if it's a day earlier or a day later. Let the fifth brother go back first, and let's find a place to hide. Let's see who it is.
Who can spend more!"
Du San muttered: "Second brother, this is a blessing, not a curse. It is a curse that cannot be avoided!"
"Brother, what do you mean by this?"
"You also said when we were eating lunch that money can make all the difference. As long as that turtle named Zhou is willing to spend money, he will definitely find out where we are hiding."
"Let's buy more dry food and go into the mountains. He's not a god. He knows where we are hiding?"
"But you can't hide for a while," Du San handed the luggage to Datou, holding on to the handle of the knife and said: "Think about it, if he is determined to frame him, there is no need for everyone to get the stolen goods. He only needs to find someone to find the copper.
Once the place is thrown away, he can falsely accuse you of stealing it. He doesn't even need to send anyone to chase you. He only needs to send a sea arrest document to the yamen along the road. The more secretly you hide and the longer you hide, the harder it will be to explain.
"
The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear!
Han Xiufeng suddenly realized that hiding was not an option. If he really hid, he would be convicted of stealing official copper.
The more Pan Er thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but urge: "Master, come up with an idea quickly."
Han Xiufeng frowned slightly and murmured: "Since hiding is not an option, and walking may not necessarily lead to escape, we can only fight him again."
"That's right, this is my second brother!" Du San was happy, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "From now on, I will listen to your orders and quickly think of a way to let those idiots in Yunnan steal
The chicken loses the rice."
"There's no way out for a while, but there's something we need to figure out first."
"What's the matter?"
"We need to find out whether the turtle son named Zhou discovered that it was me who was hiding on the boat the night before yesterday, and we need to find out whether he sent someone to chase me!"
"How do you find out this news?" Du San asked with a bitter face.
"It's easy to find out." Han Xiufeng took a deep breath, looked back at the post station and said, "I'm going to find the post secretary, ask him to send a horse, find two post soldiers who are familiar with this area, and prepare dry food for the night journey.
The torches are being guarded outside the town. We will leave one more person at the dock. If the transport officer named Zhou really sends a pursuit, the pursuers will definitely come ashore to inquire about our whereabouts, and the people who stay on the dock will also
You can find their whereabouts."
Du San blurted out: "Then take the land route to Linshiyi to meet you?"
Han Xiufeng nodded: "Well, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle."
Du San asked again: "Who should I let stay here?"
"You have to stay a stranger, so the three of us definitely can't do it."
"I would like to stay here, but I'm worried about letting you go first. What if they don't come ashore to inquire, or if they find out your whereabouts, they chase you again, and then chase you away and catch up with you? Yes.
If I'm here, they may not dare to make mistakes. If I'm not there, God knows what they will do to you!" Du San didn't want to be left behind by the big boss he had just joined. After thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Second brother, I see that post
Shu has made it clear that he wants to curry favor with you, so why not leave it to him?"
Han Xiufeng really didn't want to hand over his wealth and life to an ignorant scribe at the station, but now that he had no better way, he could only bite the bullet and said: "This is the only way. You guys get on the boat first, and I'll go
Tell them."
"I'll go with you. If he dares to be naughty, I'll see how I deal with him later!"
…
Facts have proved that the face of Fu Yamen Bingfang Jingcheng is not a big one or two.
As soon as Han Xiufeng talked about his "grievance" with the Tongtian King and his next plan, Shimenyi's scribe patted his chest and promised that he would send someone to keep an eye on the Tongtian King's movements. If the Tongtian King really sent troops to pursue him, he would definitely send people to hurry up.
Go to Linshiyi to report the news.
After explaining everything, the two of them ran back to the dock in one breath.
As soon as the two got on the boat, Qin Wu called his son and nephew to punt.
The current in the river was very fast and the boat was moving very fast. Han Xiufeng opened the curtain and looked at the river behind him. He found nothing unusual. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Maybe there are no pursuers at all. Maybe I am guilty of being a thief and being suspicious."
"Zhuge has always been cautious in his life. It's not a bad thing to be suspicious." Du San took off his knife and threw it to the side. He leaned comfortably on the bulkhead and looked at the pile of luggage in the cabin curiously. "Second brother, these are
Are they all yours?"
"Yes, it's all ours." Han Xiufeng then realized that the sworn brother he had just sworn did not look like a traveler at all. He only brought a baggage and a knife.
Du San also realized that his outfit was a bit sparse, and smiled with a bit of embarrassment: "I'm different from you. I'm a rough man. I only wear official clothes and a change of clothes."
"Where are the shoes?" Pan Er couldn't help but ask.
"This is the pair I have on my feet," Du San scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile, "It's troublesome to bring too much luggage. Just bring some money with you. You can buy clothes and shoes if they are worn out."
Han Xiufeng smiled and said: "Yes, as long as you have money when you go out."
"Second brother, you have a bag on the left and a bag on the right. What do you pack?"
"Brother, I can't compare with you. My family is poor and I don't have much money, so I have to bring everything I can. This big bag contains clothes for the cold winter months. These bags are bedding, and this is a mosquito net.
