Linshi is located on the south bank of the Chuanjiang River, at the intersection of the Chuanjiang River and Lixiang Creek. It is surrounded by mountains and water on three sides. It was named Linshi because of the Lin family name. It is also said that merchants gathered as early as the Song Dynasty because of the convenient water transportation and the convenience of boat transportation for materials.

Gradually it prospered and formed a grass market (market).

Han Xiufeng and others arrived in the middle of the night, and the gate to the lower street was closed. After shouting for a long time, the postman, who was half asleep, poked his head out of the watchtower and asked who was coming.

The reason why the mountain gates are closed as soon as it gets dark is to prevent fire, theft and bandits.

Not only here, but also in Zomagang.

Han Xiufeng knew that he would not open the door easily, so he did not ask him to open the door. Instead, he handed over the letter from his father-in-law, threw in a dozen copper coins, and asked him to deliver the letter to the inn quickly. He just waited at the dock.

After two sticks of incense, the clerk of the post station finally arrived. As soon as he arrived, he asked the postman and watchman who were keeping watch to open the door.

Follow them to the post station to settle down. They are so sleepy that they can hardly open their eyes. They don't even bother to wash themselves and go to bed. They sleep until dawn. Chenglong Kuaisheng, the official of the government office and military room, can't offend.

Breakfast has been prepared early, including Dudu rolls, fermented glutinous rice glutinous rice, and dandan noodles.

Du San had a temper that couldn't sit still. As soon as he finished eating, he dragged Han Xiufeng around the streets.

He couldn't see anything clearly at night. It wasn't until this moment that Han Xiufeng realized that this place was bigger and more prosperous than Zomagang. The entire Lin City was built along the mountain and was divided into lower, middle and upper streets. The lower street was right by the river, with watchtowers.

There are inns and warehouses at the wharf. The middle street is the most prosperous, with inns, teahouses, restaurants, pharmacies and various shops selling goods from the north and south. There is the Confucian Temple, Wangye Temple, Nanhua Palace, Wanshou Palace, Yuwang Palace, and even an academy. It is also right.

Because of its prosperous literary style and prosperous commerce, it was named Junzi Town by the court!

There are warped beams, various window lattice, bungalows, two-story wooden buildings, three-story wooden buildings, all arranged in an orderly manner, which is dizzying. The most amazing thing is that the stone bridges in the town are actually carved with dragons, Ao, and so on.

The toads, stone lions, stone figures, especially the stone dragon on one of the stone bridges are the most exquisite. One male and one female, with head and tail raised, and a pearl in their mouth, are all made of multi-layer hollow carvings to make their beards and armor vivid and lifelike, which is breathtaking.

The streets were crowded and lively.

Han Xiufeng couldn't help but think of Zuoma's hometown, and when he was distracted, Pan Er hurried over with two men.

"Master, you guessed it. Zhouzhi County found out our whereabouts and sent troops to pursue us! We can't stay here for long, let's leave quickly!"

Du San didn't think that the pursuers dared to sail in the middle of the night, so he turned around and said, "What's the hurry? If you have anything to say, please speak slowly."

Pan Er said eagerly: "Mr. Du, the two of them came from Shimenyi to report the news. They were worried that they would not be able to catch up, so they first walked for half a day by water, and when it got dark, they went ashore and walked a whole night on the mountain road."

Han Xiufeng calmed down, and while leading everyone to the dock, he asked: "Two eldest brothers, when did the pursuers arrive at Shimenyi?"

The tall and thin Shimen postman said quickly: "Mr. Han, two boats came yesterday afternoon. Several Yunnan officials came aboard from the boats. They came to the post station with sea fishing documents to inquire about your whereabouts. Li Shucheng met them.

I really came here for Mr. Han, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to catch up, so I hurriedly asked us to take a boat to catch up here first, and wait until it gets dark and we can no longer sail by boat before taking the dry road. Fortunately, we hurried slowly and finally caught up."

"How many are there in total?"

"We didn't dare to board their boat, but from the shore we could see there were twenty or thirty people on the two boats."

"Do you know who the leader is?"

"The leader is a class leader, but that class leader seems to be named Mr. Zhou."

"It's him again," Han Xiufeng couldn't help but laugh. After thinking about it, he asked, "Have they found out about our whereabouts?"

The postman said with a bitter face: "Mr. Han, of course we will not and dare not reveal your whereabouts, but there are so many people in Shimen, and there are many boatmen and trackers from other places on the dock. I really don't know if they are gossiping.

Dare to make a guarantee."

Han Xiufeng asked: "Brother, you just said that the officials from Yunnan chased Shimenyi in the afternoon yesterday. It was a long afternoon. When did they arrive?"

"They arrived when the sun was in the west, but the sun had not set when they arrived."

"So they arrived at three o'clock."

"almost."

"What happened next?" Han Xiufeng asked again.

The postman said nervously: "They didn't find anything in the post, so they went back to the pier to find out. We rushed to report to you, and we didn't dare to wait any longer. As soon as they returned to the pier, we got on the boat and rushed here in a hurry.

.”

Du San stared at him closely and asked: "I wonder if they live in your Shimenyi, or if they will chase them here as soon as they finish their inquiries?"

"Well, we are not gods, so we don't know what will happen next."

"Brother, I don't blame you. I walked all night on the mountain road to deliver the letter. You have already helped me a lot." Han Xiufeng stopped, reached out and took out a large handful of copper coins from Pan Er's trousers, turned around and said with a smile:

"Brothers, thank you for your hard work. Go buy something to eat and a bowl of wine."

After talking for a long time, he finally saw the reward money. The postman finally showed a smile, took the money with both hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, Master Han, for the rice, and thank you, Master Han, for the wine."

"You're welcome. This is what you should do. Take the first step and see you again if we are destined."

…

No one knew where the pursuers were. Han Xiufeng did not dare to waste a moment. Together with Du San, he took Pan Er and Datou to the dock. From a distance, he called Qin Wu, who was sitting on the bow of the boat looking upstream, to get off the cable.

punting.

Pan Er stayed at the bow of the boat at night to help light the torch. He didn't know that Han Xiufeng had already had an idea. As soon as he climbed onto the boat, he panted and asked: "Young Master, the stupid official really sent a pursuit, what should we do next?"

?”

"Run away, the faster you run away the better, you can't stay here and wait to be taken care of by them." Han Xiufeng spread out the quilt, and after laying it down, he lay down comfortably as if nothing had happened.

Du San couldn't help but stir up Xuanxu. He took off his shoes and lay down next to Han Xiufeng. He crossed his legs and said with a smile: "It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. At this point, it's useless to rush. The next step is to

It depends on God’s will.”

Pan Er was anxious and said with a sad face: "Mr. Du, you are the master of Juren, and you have not offended the Tongtian King. If they are really caught up, they will not embarrass you, so of course you don't have to worry. My young master is different from you. My young master has offended you."

If you pass him, you will still offend him and die. If you are not in a hurry, how can we not be in a hurry?"

Du San raised his leg and kicked him, and said angrily: "What do you mean, son of a bitch, by saying this? I have never offended the Copper Heavenly King, but your master is my sworn brother.

This matter is my business, how can I turn a blind eye and stay out of it!"

"But……"
