The shopkeeper of the jade shop took his wife and child out of the city. Their route was to take a boat directly across the Weishui River to Tongguan, then enter the Yellow River from Tongguan, and then rent a large boat all the way north to Ningxiang County to disembark.
After getting off the boat in Ningxiang County, we took a carriage to Jincheng.
When the shopkeeper and his family drove their carriage to the Weishui Ferry, the shopkeeper's wife always felt very uneasy along the way.
"Master, my eyelids have been twitching since I woke up this morning." The wife in the carriage said to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper didn¡¯t care when he heard this and said, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because I didn¡¯t sleep last night.¡±
After the shopkeeper who was driving the bus said this, he suddenly saw an old woman standing in the middle of the road ahead.
The old woman was a little nagging. She stood in the middle of the road, looked directly at the shopkeeper and said, "It's not Zhou, it's not Zhou."
The shopkeeper stopped the carriage and shouted to the old woman: "Old man, please make way."
The old woman still said to the shopkeeper: "It's not Zhou, it's not Zhou."
The shopkeeper was helpless and said to the old woman: "Old man, we are going to join our relatives. Please give way to the old man. Thank you very much."
The old woman saw the shopkeeper and asked her twice, so she walked to the roadside with her body bent.
The shopkeeper cupped his fists towards the old woman and said, "Thank you very much, old man."
"Who are you talking to?" came the wife's question from the carriage.
The shopkeeper said: "There was an old man standing in the middle of the road just now. Maybe he is a lost old man."
As he said that, the shopkeeper glanced in the direction where the old man was standing just now, but there was no figure anywhere.
However, the shopkeeper was not too surprised and continued to drive the carriage on its way.
In the afternoon, the shopkeeper¡¯s family finally arrived at the Weishui Ferry.
When they left the carriage at the Weishui Ferry Station and the family went to the ferry to take the boat, they met another crazy beggar on the road.
The crazy beggar was skinny and skinny, holding a pile of broken chess pieces in his arms.
When the crazy beggar saw the shopkeeper¡¯s family, his eyes lit up and he ran up quickly, saying constantly: ¡°The gentleman is gone, the gentleman is gone.¡±
The shopkeeper¡¯s family saw that he was a crazy beggar, so they took their children away to avoid him.
But the crazy beggar chased them all the way, shouting: "The scholar is gone, the scholar is gone."
"Crazy beggar, how annoying." The shopkeeper's son cursed at the crazy beggar, then picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at him.
The crazy beggar avoided the stone and stood there jumping and shouting: "The scholar is gone, the scholar is gone." But he stopped chasing the shopkeeper and his family.
The shopkeeper and his family came to the ferry and found a boat owner who was about to leave the boat.
"Going to Tongguan? Yes, for a drop of money." The captain said.
"A pennies? So expensive?" the shopkeeper said, "Last time it was eight hundred cents."
The ship owner said: "Recently, the imperial court has increased shipping taxes, so the price has increased."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he said helplessly: "Okay, just hang it up."
The wife asked: ¡°Can we still go out on the boat at night?¡±
The captain smiled and said: "I have been running in this area of ??water for more than ten years, and I am very familiar with it. I dare not take you to dangerous places."
With that said, the shopkeeper paid a small amount of money, and then the family boarded the boat.
The shopkeeper was a little surprised and asked: "Are there so few people on the boat today?"
The boat owner smiled and said: "A theater troupe came from Wukou Town next door, saying that it was invited by the eminent monk of Yanyun Temple. People from all over the country can watch it for free, so everyone went to watch the theater."
The shopkeeper nodded, and then his children said one after another: "Dad, we also want to watch the show."
The captain also said: "If the guests want to watch a show, it's not too late to go now. You can also leave the ship tomorrow."
But the shopkeeper didn¡¯t dare to stay too long, so he said to his children: ¡°There will be endless plays at grandpa¡¯s house.¡±
Then the shopkeeper asked the boatman to get out of the boat now. Of course the boatman had no objection. The rich man is the boss.
So the boatman was about to sail the boat. The shopkeeper looked around and found that there was only one person in the boat, so he asked: "Are you the only one running the boat these years?"
The boatman smiled and said, "I have a son, but he also went to the theater, and so did the other boatmen. I don't like going to the theater, so I am the only one out on the boat today."
"Oh." The shopkeeper said suddenly.
Hearing only a few soft sounds of "clang", the boat gradually drove out of the ferry and headed towards Tongguan.
The boat travels all the way?Only one oil lamp was on, and from both sides, it looked like a moving star on the river.
The shopkeeper¡¯s wife and children were all asleep. He was sleepless in the middle of the night. He sat cross-legged under the oil lamp and took out the token from his arms.
Yes, the Taoism Order is still in his hands.
Since that day Zhongyi found him and told him that the Taoist Order had been exposed during the black market inquiry, he knew that this token must be extraordinary.
Maybe the treasure above is real, so just in case, he temporarily forged a copper order and just painted the outside with a layer of silver powder.
He was not without pride in his heart. Even if Juan Yunfei found out that the token was fake, it would be many days later. By then, he would have already arrived in Jincheng.
While I was thinking about it, suddenly there was a soft "clang" sound outside, as if something hit the cabin.
The shopkeeper raised his head and shouted: "Boatman? Boatman?"
However, there was no response. He turned around and saw that at some point, lights were dotted on the river around the boat, as if a fleet was passing by.
The shopkeeper picked up the oil lamp, stood up and walked out of the cabin, but every two steps he took, he felt as if he had stepped on something.
He looked down and his expression suddenly changed with shock. It turned out to be the boatman.
At this moment, I saw the boatman lying outside the cabin with a big bloody hole in his chest.
The shopkeeper was horrified and exclaimed: "Who is it?!"
"The King of Heluo Qizhai has arrived!" At this time, a high-pitched voice came from the surrounding fleet, and then the surrounding ships came directly.
"Heluo Qizhai?! Juan Yunfei!" The shopkeeper suddenly turned pale.
¡°Subsequently, the shopkeeper¡¯s family was captured by water thieves from Heluo Qizhai and taken aboard a large ship.
Juan Yunfei looked at the shopkeeper with a gloomy face and said, "You want to run away after you lied to grandpa? Have you asked me about the spies from Heluo Qizhai?"
The shopkeeper knelt on the ground with a 'pop' sound, took out the real token in his hand and begged: "I beg the king to save my family's life, the token is here, the token is here!"
Juan Yunfei stepped forward, grabbed the token, and then kicked the shopkeeper to the ground: "It's too late to hand it over now."
After saying that, Juan Yunfei ordered his subordinates: "Kill them all and throw them into the river to feed the fish."
Not long after, a few flashes of swords flashed, the shopkeeper and his whole family were killed, and the body was thrown into the Wei River. It rushed with the water to Tongguan before being discovered by the defenders of Tongguan.
Late at night, far away in Chang'an City, Zhang Daoling, who was sitting cross-legged under the wall at the intersection of Xuanwu Street, suddenly opened his eyes.
He counted with his fingers, shook his head and sighed: "It is a crime for a common man to have a jade in his possession without any guilt."
After saying that, he stood up and wrote another line on the wall behind him: The Heluo water thief Juan Yunfei, the first fifteen miles of the Weishui River, was responsible for six more murders.
When he finished writing, he turned around and saw two figures suddenly appeared in front of him.
One is a lame Taoist priest, the other is a scabby monk. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
