Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The journey from Hongyuan City through a tunnel to the Baihe River was only about ten miles. However, because he was dragging his family with him, carrying a large amount of gold and silver on his back, and there were no horses or donkeys to travel with him, Li Yansi's group of more than ten people was enough.  Walked for more than two hours.

    Running on a snowy night, except for a few strong guards, the others suffered a lot, including Li Yansi, who didn¡¯t know how many times he fell.

    By the time I finally made it to the Baihe River, I was already at the end of my ugly life.  In a shallow bay, several guards went down to the river and hurriedly uncovered a pile of linen covered with straw. A small boat was revealed underneath, but it was the ferry Li Yansi secretly built in the past two years.

    On the bank of the river, Li Yansi looked back at the way he came, not only stamping his feet and sighing: "The nearly century-old foundation of the Li family has been destroyed today!"

    The steward advised: "Master, you'd better get on the ship quickly, so that you can be useful in the future, and you might as well kill him again."

    Mrs. Xue Lu and her two concubines climbed onto the boat out of breath. Only then did they calm down. They couldn't help but burst into tears, including their two children.

    Li Yansi yelled and scolded: "Stop everyone! Do you want to recruit the Ming army? Whoever cries again will be thrown into the river!"

    Although the Baihe River is not wide, the widest point is only a hundred feet at most, but the current is fast and there are many reefs and whirlpools. The water surface of wild crossings like this is very dangerous, let alone sailing at night.

    Li Yansi originally planned to cross the river before dawn, so that he could roughly see the river and move in time before the Ming army patrolled. However, after waiting for a while and just eating some food to replenish his strength, he saw a fire dragon at the end of the road in the distance.  It was lit up, and with the night wind came the barking of dogs.

    Everyone was suddenly panicked, and Li Yansi murmured: "Why are the pursuers here? Could it be that the White Horse Court took action so quickly?"

    Several guards were in a hurry, untying the rope, pushing the boat, and pushing the boat from the shore into the river.  The housekeeper dragged and hugged Li Yansi from the high bank of the river to the waterside. By accident, the two of them rolled down together, their faces covered with mud, and they were extremely embarrassed.  Fortunately, he was not injured. The housekeeper got up and pushed Li Yansi into the wooden boat.

    Li Yansi was startled spontaneously, then he slapped the boatman and said through gritted teeth: "You are such a Zehun, you are such a strong man, how dare you betray me! Just wait!"

    The boat slowly sailed away from the river bank and quickly merged into the fast-flowing river. It was swirling and undulating in whirlpools and shoals. It almost capsized several times. It was really dangerous.

    Lu Fangzhu chased him to the shore, but he couldn't see clearly what was going on in the river. He could only vaguely hear movement. In the faint night light, he seemed to be able to see the outline of the boat in the middle of the river. He hurriedly ordered arrows to be fired, but they could not be shot.

    Li Yansi is also a good fortune teller. It seems that the Buddha is blessing him. Along the way, he encounters many dangers, but he can barely avoid them. After rowing upstream for half an hour, he actually made it to the other side!

    At dawn, Zhao Ran received the report at Baima Courtyard and was a little surprised when Li Yansi ran away.  Listening to Fangzhu Lu sorting out the whole story, he couldn't help but admire him. This leader of the party is really powerful. He sees opportunities very quickly and can be called cunning!

    Fangzhu Lu asked himself to take the blame, and Zhao Ran comforted him with some kind words. He did not criticize, but praised him for his hard work throughout the night, and then told them to go back and rest as soon as possible and have a good sleep.

    Zhao Ran is not a leader who only looks at results. He also looks at the process. As long as the procedures are correct and there are no mistakes in the process, even if the results are not good, he will not punish his subordinates.

    Among the party members, Li Yansi escaped and Qiang Xiong was captured. Anyway, now the group is leaderless. Zhao Ran immediately ordered that the grain be released tomorrow!

    On the morning of December 17, Baozhong led the Dangxiang tribesmen. As soon as they arrived at the construction site of the transitional housing outside the city, they heard the good news announced by the Taoist priest who built the house in Baima Yuan Dian. Work would be suspended in the afternoon, except for Dai Zui, who was serving in the army.  Except for prisoners with party-related crimes, everyone can go to Baimayuan to receive the relief food distributed by the Taoist sect.

    Hearing this, the people were overjoyed. Not only the party workers were happy, but all the Han workers were also grateful from the bottom of their hearts. Everyone's enthusiasm was extremely high and they worked very hard.

    In the afternoon, after the meal, the Taoist priests of Dian Zaofang organized everyone, lined up and headed to the White Horse Courtyard.  In the queue, there was no distinction between Dangxiang people or Han people, only men and women, with women in front and men behind. Baozhong was not surrounded by tribesmen such as Xi Zhong, Jing Cheng and Lao Shu, but other Han people in the same process.

    The patrols in the square hall of the White Horse Courtyard and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty wearing bright red jackets maintained the queue, and surrounded Baozhong and the others, several hundred people, waiting on the main street outside the gate of the White Horse Courtyard.  The laborers on these construction sites are the first batch of people to receive relief, and the rest of the people will come to receive relief on the 18th and 19th.

    After waiting for a while, I heard the sound of a bell. The gate of the White Horse Courtyard was opened. The inspection of the square hall was counting the heads and letting people in. There were five in each row, six rows in a row, and Baozhong was in the third row.They lined up and followed the first batch into the White Horse Courtyard.

    I saw several bookcases lined up in the xuanchang in front of Cihang Hall. A dozen Taoist priests were sitting behind the bookcases, each holding paper and pen, waiting for food to be released. Behind the bookcases were bags of white cloth bags, each with a  The bulging bags, without asking, must be food for relief.

    On the other side of the xuanchang, a restricted area was built with hemp ropes. There were large bags of open food stored in the restricted area. The types of food were quite diverse, including highland barley, millet, rice, and dried meat. There were also some piled next to the food.  Weapon furniture, silk and satin, clothing and cloth, furniture, porcelain, scattered silver, copper coins, etc.  These things are piled up there like hills, and I don¡¯t know what they are used for.

    Standing in front of the xuanchang, Lu Fangzhu stepped forward and pointed at the small mountain of goods and introduced them loudly. It turned out that they were all picked up from the homes of two party leaders, Li Yansi and Qiang Xiong.

    "I heard that Li Yansi and Qiang Xiong had withheld the food from the relief distributed by Baima Yuan, and that other property had also come from the two leaders' plunder. The party members in the queue suddenly burst into an uproar, and there was a sudden roar of curses.

    Baozhong stood in the queue. He did not curse, but when he saw so many belongings and food piled here, especially when he saw several bags of medicinal materials, and when he thought that his mother almost died of illness, he suddenly felt a sense of joy in his heart, and bitten  He rubbed his molar teeth and said secretly: "That's right!"

    After Master Lu finished speaking, he once again gave instructions on the steps to receive the relief. Then he waved his hand and everyone lined up to enter the Cihang Hall.

    Several Taoist priests from the living room and scripture hall were already waiting among them. When everyone stood up, they struck the bells and wooden fish and began to take the lead in reciting:

    "King Zhuang Yuxiu was born by the emperor's order"

    "Teaching about Nanyang, following the imperial edict and saving people from calamity. Responding to the sound, moving thoughts to show compassion. The holy virtue is obvious, the mysterious power is unpredictable Heretics rely on it, and the evil spirits return to the right"

    "Great compassion and great wishes, great sage and great mercy. Find out the voice to save the suffering, and eliminate misfortunes and disasters as you wish. Lord of the Heavenly Emperor of Biluodong, Lord of Yuantong and Zizuo"
