Humpty Dumpty listened to Li Qiufeng's solemn words, thought for a moment, and said, "Are these people you talking about including you Senior Uncle Liu?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "Master, although the apprentice doesn't think so, he does know that he has a last resort. If he cherishes his wings and wants to stand up for his family and people, he has no objection. But to say that he wants to change the dynasty and set up another son of heaven, with the wisdom of Uncle Liu, he will definitely not make this risky move. He is a person who has been a scholar for many years, but he is also rich in clothes and food every day, full of children and grandchildren, and enjoys endless glory and wealth and family happiness. Therefore, even if the sky is turned upside down, Emperor Jiajing is eliminated, and a new monarch is established, there is no benefit to Uncle Liu. What's more, how dangerous it is to change the dynasty, if you are not careful, Master Liu will be destroyed. How can Master Liu be willing to do such a thing that has no benefits and only risks?"

Humpty Dumpty smiled and said, "These important things in the court, let those guys who have seven tricks do it." We just need to turn back to Qingcheng Mountain and be a hermit in the mountains, how carefree. These mundane things in the world are not to be taken care of. ”

Since the old man surnamed Huang knew that these fans were not here to find trouble for himself, he was also relieved. Humpty Dumpty's voice fell, and the old man continued: "But the fans are closely following us, and it is not easy to get rid of their pursuit. ”

Humpty Dumpty laughed, "Even if they are tigers, it is harder to catch an ant than to reach the sky." Lao Huang, just put your heart in your stomach. Leave the outside affairs to me and Feng'er. ”

Humpty Dumpty's voice fell, and he suddenly heard the boatman say outside the cabin: "Uncle Li, we will go to Sunjiapu in front." Shall we go to the dock to rest, or shall we go all the way to Leshan?"

Li Qiufeng didn't answer, but turned his gaze to Humpty Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty said, "There has to be a end to it." If you go to Leshan, you have to walk dozens of miles. Why don't we go ashore in Sunjiapu and meet the leader of Fanzi. If there is something to be said, you might as well make it clear in a friendly manner. If Fanzi is arrogant, he will have to live a few tricks with him. I want to see how many catties and taels there are in the world's fearful Dongchang masters. ”

Li Qiufeng nodded, turned around and walked out of the cabin. He stayed in the cabin for a long time, and when he came out at first glance, he only felt the white light dazzling, and hurriedly narrowed his eyes. The boatman stood under the mast, still holding on tightly to the sail rope. Seeing Li Qiufeng walk out of the cabin, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "Uncle Li, I see that there are more and more people on both sides of the strait, and I think it is not far from Sunjiapu. The boats behind are very tight, why don't we go ashore in Sunjiapu and report to the Yamen, I don't know what the uncle thinks?"

Li Qiufeng turned his head to look, only to see that those big ships were still following fifty or sixty zhang away, almost covering the entire river, and the momentum was extremely amazing. The sun rose in the east, and ten thousand golden rays of light shot from the back of the big ship to the surface of the river, making the scene in front of Li Qiufeng both spectacular and strange.

Li Qiufeng looked at it for a moment, then turned his head and said to the boatman: "Let's go ashore in Sunjiapu, and then make a plan." ”

As if he had been granted amnesty, the boatman breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This is the best! As long as we report to the official, we are not afraid that these guys will be embarrassed by us." ”

After walking for more than half an hour, I saw many houses on the shore on the right side of the front, and countless boats of all sizes parked on the shore. The boatman shouted happily: "It's here! It must be Sunjiapu there! This place is under the jurisdiction of Yuanhua County, and the yamen of Yuanhua County is here." After we go ashore, we go straight to the yamen to sound the drum and report the case, no matter how ferocious these thieves are, they will not dare to besiege the county government in broad daylight?"

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, not to mention the county government, even if it was the yamen of the prefect of Chengdu Prefecture, he couldn't stop these Dongchang fans. It's just that you can't tell the truth to the boatman right now, otherwise you'll have to scare him unconscious. After listening to what the boatman said, Li Qiufeng just nodded, but did not answer.

After another pillar of incense, the boatman slowly turned the sails and instructed the two boatmen to hold the rudder. As the sail turned to the left, the bow slowly turned to the right, heading straight for the shore. When the Minjiang River reaches a section of Sunjiapu, the river surface widens, the water flow is much soothed, and when the big boat changes direction, it is not bumpy. It's just that the river is wide, the wind is more and more violent, and the sails are blown by the whistling river wind, which sounds quite thrilling.

The boatman and two gondoliers carefully steered the wooden boat and slowly sailed into the boat moored on the shore. While carefully turning the sail rope and sailing forward among the wooden boats, the boatman said to Li Qiufeng: "I have heard that Sunjiapu is the largest wharf on the Min River, almost on par with Yibin Mansion. Seeing so many boats parked on the dock today, I believe that this legend is not false. The docks are so big, and the town wants to be bigger. Since the government has set up a yamen here, it is natural that there are many people, and we don't have to be afraid of those pursuers. ”

After a while, the big ship finally sailed to the shore. I saw people coming and going on the shore, and it was very lively. Everyone thought in their hearts, no wonder Sun Jiapu was so famous, at a glance, the scale of this wharf was definitely not below the Yibin Fu wharf.

No sooner had the boat been parked than a boatman ran to the bow and reached out to grab a bundle of rope from the ground. I saw that his right hand kept turning the rope head on the top of his head, staring at a stone pillar on the shore, and suddenly let go, only to hear the sound of "whew", the rope flew out of his hand, and the knot at the end of the rope just happened to cover the stone pillar. At this time, another boatman also ran from the stern, and the two joined forces, grabbed the rope and pulled hard. The boat slowly approached the stone wall on the shore, and it was not until it was far away from the stone wall that the two boatmen tied the rope to the stake in the bow of the boat, so that the boat came to rest on the shore.

The boatman turned his head to look, but saw that the big ship that was chasing was blocked by dense wooden boats, and it was impossible to dock for a while. He hurriedly said to Li Qiufeng: "Uncle Li, please come out of the two old men in the cabin, and let's go to the yamen on the shore to report to the official." ”

Before Li Qiufeng could answer, he saw a figure flickering, and Humpty Dumpty and the old man surnamed Huang had already walked out of the cabin. Humpty Dumpty said as he walked, "My old man doesn't need your invitation, he came up by himself." ”

The boatman was bent on escaping from danger, but he stuffed the broken silver and copper coins into a bag wrapped around his waist, and did not even have time to take the clothes that he had brought with him to wash, and urged everyone to hurry ashore. The old man surnamed Huang looked at the several boxes in the cabin and hesitated slightly. Humpty Dumpty knew that he was reluctant to let these relics of the horse prince, so he comforted him and said, "Those people are looking for us, not your box." After we get rid of them, it's not too late to come back and get the boxes. ”

By this time a boatman had set up a plank about two feet wide at the bow and the other end on the shore. As soon as the planks were set, the two boatmen scrambled to the shore. The boatman originally wanted to run to the shore, but his right foot had just stepped on the plank, but he stopped again, turned to Li Qiufeng and the others and said, "The three masters will go first." ”

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "Uncle first, let's go ashore later." ”

The boatman did not give in, walked briskly onto the plank, and trotted all the way to the shore. Li Qiufeng asked Humpty Dumpty and the old man surnamed Huang to go first, and he followed behind. After everyone had reached the shore, the boatman had already asked a passer-by about the location of the yamen. He urged repeatedly, and said: "The yamen is less than two miles away from the wharf, turn from the front to the right, and walk along the main road to reach the yamen." ”

Li Qiufeng and the others hurriedly left the dock with the boatman, and then turned right into a street. I saw people coming and going on the streets, and there were pubs, tea shops, and many vendors selling sweets and pastries on both sides of the road. The boatman was anxious, and he couldn't wait to step into the yamen with one foot. It's just that he was afraid that the pursuers would catch up, so he kept turning his head and looking as he walked. However, there were too many pedestrians on the street, blocking his view and seeing if there were any pursuers.

After walking for more than half a mile, an alley entrance appeared on the left. The boatman had already asked for the road to the Yamen, and when he walked, he did not squint and did not pay attention to the alley. Humpty Dumpty was looking around as he walked, and when he saw that the alley was quite deserted, his heart moved, and he glanced at the strong autumn wind. Li Qiufeng walked quickly to the boatman's side, grabbed the boatman's left arm with his right hand, and said, "Uncle, let's take a step to talk!"
