In the following days, the team stopped and stopped, and on the afternoon of October 18, they finally pulled the barge along the waterway to the left side of Wu County. When the sun was about to set, more than a dozen carts came back, along with the small charge of Wu County.

When he arrived at the station where the people were resting, the little priest of Wu County first got on the barge and looked at the Taihu Lake stone that had just come out of the water, and praised it loudly for a while, and praised the envoy who was responsible for leading the team to be so beautiful that it was bubbling.

Xiao Zhu Si put on a posture and said loudly: "All of you are the county labor recruited by Wu County, and now you should be recruited by the Feng Bureau, raising money every day 40 Wenzheng, the difference between grain and vegetables is 6 Wen, foot money 2 Wen, soup money 2 Wen, the cost is 50 Wen Zheng per day, September 27 to the present, enough to count the 22nd, each person has raised money consistently and one Baiwen, so come to draw a charge to receive!" ”

Then they began to pay money for the roll call, and the people listened to the roll call to receive it.

After a while, he sang about the grass carp roe, and then he brought a big hanging and a small hanging money, and the grass fish roe came to sit next to Brother Yin with the money, and complained: "Fifty wen a day, and on the twenty-second day, it should be a thousand and a hundred wen, look at this in your hand, but it has always been only 700 wen, and one hundred is only 70 wen, how much is this discounted?" ”

"I'll do the math!" A familiar man next to him broke a branch and drew a Tao on the ground, and he compared this Tao to a calculation chip, and quickly calculated it: "Haha! It was folded three hundred and thirty wen. ”

Brother Yin smiled and said: "I am here to serve in labor, and there are also coolie money to take for such recruitment and transfer, so why do you make a noise?" ”

The grass carp roe twisted his body and said, "What about the whip I received?" ”

Brother Yin said: "Everyone else is working hard, but you are lazy and gossiping, even if I have to pump you!" ”

When he said this, everyone else laughed.

After a while, he called Brother Yin'er's name, he went to get the money, but what he got back was more than three dollars, and others were surprised when they saw it, Brother Yin smiled: "That Zhou made the envoy say that the people who came out of Shezhou worked hard, and he saw it in his eyes, and this extra was an extra reward, so that I could share the profit with everyone." ”

Then he broke up more than two dollars and distributed them to everyone according to the hundred articles and one hundred, and the grass carp roe took the one hundred that was distributed to himself, and said: "Brother Yin, they have all been distributed to me and others, but you will suffer a loss." ”

Brother Yin looked at the people around him, all of whom were villagers who came out of Shezhou with him, so he smiled and made a silent gesture, and only said: "The Zhou system is not bad, if you recruit me to go to Suzhou, you will agree!" ”

Everyone looked at him and understood, so they responded in unison, but saw him say to the grass carp roe: "grass carp roe, don't go, I see that many people want to return to their hometowns, why don't you take our wages back." ”

Grass carp roe listened to it and said in a hurry: "Brother Yin, when I came out, my father said that he wanted me to kill you, and I am afraid that I will be beaten to death by my father if I go back like this." If you want to go to Suzhou, I'll go too, just to see the market. ”

Brother Yin shook his head and said: "No, first, you are too young, and secondly, everyone is not at ease if you ask someone else to bring money home, you bring our wages home, and your father will naturally not beat you." This matter is settled, don't make any more noise! ”

After a while, the little priest sent everyone's wages, and then said loudly: "Listen, now I want to send this flower stone to Suzhou, Zhou Zhi understands everyone, knows that this road is far and the road is difficult, so he promised a daily fundraising, and to Suzhou should also undertake the full amount with everyone, if you want to go, you will come to draw a charge, but you can first pay the consistent settlement money." ”

Brother Yin took the lead and got up and said, "I'm willing to go!" ”

Then he led everyone to draw the charge, received the money and the number of money, and then the Zhou envoy stepped forward and said to more than 100 people who were willing to go to Suzhou: "Let you go to Wu County to rest tonight, so that you can ask someone to bring the money home, and come here at noon tomorrow." ”

He also said to Brother Yin: "Wang Yin, tomorrow I will load this flower stone ashore, but your craftsmanship is indispensable, but you have to come early!" ”

Wang Yin hurriedly crossed his hands and said: "Zhou system, I'll take care of it!" ”

That week, the envoy came forward to pat Wang Yin's arm and said with a smile: "This road is reversed, do it well, and when you arrive in Suzhou, I can find you an errand as a craftsman." ”

Wang Yin hurriedly thanked him gratefully: "Oops! I thanked the Zhou envoy first, how to repay this great kindness! ”

As he spoke, he wanted to give the copper coin in his hand, but he was pushed away by Zhou Zhi, and scolded with a smile: "Go to rest!" Could it be that I still seek you to make this hard money? ”

As he spoke, he took out about three taels of broken silver from his arms, threw it into Wang Yin's arms and said, "Take it, take your group of brothers quickly, and go to the county to eat wine and soup, don't miss tomorrow morning's errand!" ”

Wang Yin hurriedly took it, then took everyone to thank him, and then went to Wu County.

After entering the city, everyone first found a money shop to exchange the copper coins for silver, and then found a cheap hotel to have a meal and wine, and then found a soup house (bathhouse) to soak in the soup to relieve fatigue, and then found the villagers who wanted to return to their hometowns to entrust the grass carp roe and silver, and then dispersed.

Wang Yin went to the red light district in the county alone, and found a street and alley to enter, and saw that everyone in the alley was hanging colorful lanterns, and knew that this alley was doing a half-hidden door (secret prostitute) business.

Wang Yin walked in not far away, saw a shrine next to the door of a house, looked down and saw that the shrine was enshrined in a black-faced landlord, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door, knocking on the door three long and three short.

After a while, an old man in white with a black hat on his head answered the door, and after he looked at Wang Yin, he let him in and covered the door, but said: "The light is generally pure, and the joy is extinguished without moving the curse." ”

Wang Yin stretched out his hand and made a flame burning gesture and replied: "He has no trouble when he is happy, and it is useless if he has suffering." ”

The old man immediately replied with a flame gesture, and asked, "Dare to ask which one is on the White Lotus Whip?" ”

Wang Yin uncovered his shirt and revealed a flower embroidery on his right rib, only to see that this embroidery was a picture of a white lotus with a very clear color, and a small flame was burning on one of the two lotus flowers.

Wang Yin replied: "There are nine flowers on a whip, and the lotus seeds fall on the side of the Yellow Mountain. I am the Wang Yin of Shezhou. ”

"It turned out to be the Lord of the King's Order, please!" The old man immediately invited Wang Yin into the door, went to the back room to serve tea, and called a lady to relieve Wang Yinhuan's fatigue, so he closed the door and went out.

About the third watch, the old man came to knock on the door, Wang Yin waved away the lady and went to the main house, and when he entered the door, he saw that the little priest who had only gone to pay money to everyone not long ago was smiling and greeting him at the main seat.
