A group of people passed through the state and county, and this day passed through Xiangzhou, and when they went to a village, they saw that there was a small shop in the village here, Deng Fei came forward and said to Sanniang: "Official, it is noon, I am tired of walking, and I buy some wine and meat to eat." Sanniang said: "It's okay, teach the shopkeeper to kill pigs and sheep, and each brother must get a share of wine and meat." Deng Fei responded, and went to the store with Meng Kang to buy it.

Along the way, Sanniang treats people and things without intimacy, and when she goes on the road, she explains the rules, and only asks right and wrong between rewards and punishments, and does not look at the feelings. The journey is difficult, and Sanniang does not treat everyone thinly, they all eat ordinary wine and meat with everyone, but when there is no wine and meat, they eat dry food with everyone.

This is bitter Chai Jin, the big officials have never suffered this little bit, sometimes when they can't go to the village and the back of the store, they only eat dry food, which is really difficult to swallow, but when Sanniang gnawed on the general coarse noodles and dry food, and still talked and laughed with everyone, Chai Jin had to swallow reluctantly.

On the way, I also encountered a few strongmen robbing, but when they saw that there were many of them, the few people did not dare to come, and when the many people came to rob the road, there were no heroes, they were all thieves, Deng Fei, Meng Kang and others were sent away, and there was no need for Hu Sanniang and Gongsun to win.

A group of people pushed the carriage and horses to rest in front of the shop, and their own little minions arranged the carriages and horses, fed the horses, watched the cars, and everything was in order, but it was Sanniang who arranged all the affairs before the trip. Pei Xuan and others saw that Sanniang distributed errands, they were all organized, not chaotic at all, and there was a legal control, even the money, food and things were numbered, and someone was arranged to count them sooner or later, and the points were exactly the same, so they were even more admired.

After resting the horse, Sanniang invited Gongsun Sheng, Chai Jin, and Pei Xuan to enter the store together, and only then did they get to the door, but they didn't think that Deng Fei inside walked out with a big man with a smile, only to see that the big man was holding a muddy iron pen tube gun in his hand, with a round head and big ears, a straight nose and a square mouth, beautiful eyebrows and sparse eyes, a thin waist and broad shoulders, and he bowed when he saw three heads.

Sanniang was puzzled, and when she hurriedly helped her up, Deng Fei smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I met Brother Yang Lin in such a place." "It turns out that the big man's surname is Yang, the name is Lin, the ancestor is from Zhangde Mansion, he is skilled in martial arts, and he lives in the green forest, and the rivers and lakes are called Jin Leopard Yang Lin.

After listening to Deng Fei tell Yang Lin's deeds, Sanniang and others were very happy, all the heroes came to see them, so they arranged a table of wine and food in the store, everyone let Sanniang sit on the main seat, Chai Jin and Gongsun Sheng sat left and right, Pei Xuan, Yang Lin, Deng Fei, Meng Kang sat down in turn, sifted the wine from the big bowl, and drank together.

During the banquet, when Sanniang talked about going to Shaohua Mountain with everyone, Yang Lin said: "I heard that Shaohua Mountain was recruiting talents, and I was about to go to run, but no one recommended me, so I didn't dare to enter easily." Sanniang smiled: "Brother Yang is relieved, I am the master of Shaohua Mountain, so how about inviting my brother to join the gang?" Yang Lin was overjoyed, got up and bowed again: "I can't ask for it." "All the heroes are overjoyed.

Four or five pigs were killed in this small shop, so that each little minions got a share of wine and meat, and after eating and drinking, Sanniang and everyone went on the road again.

After settling in the city, Sanniang taught Pei Xuan and Yang Lin to ask the tailor shop in the city to make cotton clothes, and each little minion paid a new set of cotton clothes and cotton shoes, so that they could wear them on the road. After three or five days, the cotton clothes and shoes were all ready, and after the distribution was distributed, everyone was very happy. Then he continued on his way, without saying a word all the way.

This day to Huazhou, look at the Shaohua Mountain, the sky is dark, not for a while there is a goose feather heavy snow, everyone hurriedly rushed through a mountain col, only to see the front of the foot of the mountain a town lined up, there are always seven or eight hundred households, when approaching to see, only to see a memorial arch set up at the crossing, on the book "Shaohua Beikou Pavilion" five words, inside the wine seller, meat seller, vegetable seller, iron, tailoring, open shop, all available.

There are more than 10 strong men under the archway, all of them are general black leather jackets, two pieces of iron armor before and after are tied, and the rest of the hands and feet are covered by leather armor, and the head is a cotton head scarf, each holding a knife and gun blade, and the scarf is embroidered with two big characters of "fine pawn". A team of people stood neatly in the wind and snow, and there was no difference in the half-point, and the heroic momentum came to the face.

The first person wore a wrought iron helmet, with the word "Zuo Lang" written on it, and his body was covered with iron armor, and he collapsed a knife, and when he saw Hu Sanniang and his party, he came forward and asked: "Come and live, is it a business trip in the past?" ”

Hu Sanniang stepped forward and asked with a smile, "What about the business trip?" What if it's not a business trip? The big man arched his hand and said: "This guest officer, if you are a business traveler in the past, please go to the business travel checkpoint to inspect the goods, pay the money, and receive the customs clearance flag, and you can go all the way through Huazhou." If you come to the cottage, please go to the front of the recruitment hall, and someone will pick you up. ”

Hu Sanniang smiled and said: "We are just going to Huayin County, and these things are gifts for the villagers, not for sale." The big man said: "Then I also got the business travel checkpoint to inspect, and I also had to say which village people were visiting, where there are all household registrations in the villages and squares, and you can know it when you check it." However, if the anti-smuggling team discovers that there are goods being sold on the spot, they will confiscate the goods. ”

Sanniang bowed slightly, Zhu Wu really still has some ability, this ruling party is also polite and courteous, not blindly forced and blackmailed. On the surface, it looks like this, but Sanniang also knows how cruel the methods in the secret are, but when she meets someone who doesn't teach money, she must also kill people and sell goods.

At this time, a team of patrol soldiers came over, and the leader was also a Zuo Lang officer, a group of ten people walked to the front, and the Zuo Lang officer seemed to recognize Sanniang, and ran to the front to bow down: "Big leader!" "Then the sect worshipped left and right, and they all called Hu Sanniang the big leader.

Sanniang smiled and stepped forward to help the Zuo Lang official and asked, "Do you recognize me?" That Zuo Langguan said: "The subordinate is the old man of Shaohua Mountain, and he was there when the big boss Shanzhai promulgated the iron law that year, so he knew the big leader." The three leaders of Zhu were looking forward to the leader's return to the mountain sooner or later, so his subordinates sent people to pass the ceremony. ”

At that moment, the Zuo Lang official taught people to fly to the cottage, and he led Hu Sanniang and others to the Zhaoxian Hall in the town, and then explained to the people in the hall. Sitting in the hall is a civilian leader, seeing that he has embroidered the word Congyi on his hat, Sanniang knows that he is the official who presides over the recruitment hall in the town.

Gongsun Sheng, Chai Jin, Pei Xuan, Yang Lin, Deng Fei, Meng Kang and others were all dumbfounded, and they couldn't imagine that this Shaohua Mountain governed the army and the people so strictly. Gongsun Sheng asked, "Hu Guanren, why do they call you the big leader?" ”

Sanniang said with a smile: "In the early years in Huazhou, I sat on the position of the big leader in the Shaohua cottage, just because I wanted to travel the rivers and lakes, so that the cottage was not permeable, so that I could pass through the state and county, and I was not intentionally deceiving." ”

Gongsun Sheng bowed his head and said, "I see." Just looking at these elite pawns and Zuo Lang, I don't know what the title is? Sanniang will have four levels of martial arts in the fifth class, which is the title of pawn, lang, guard, school, and general, and said: "Every ten pawns have a Lang official to control, ten Lang is a guard, ten guards take a school, and ten schools worship a general, so as to control, such as an arm and a finger." ”

Chai Jin sighed and said, "It's really an eye-opener." Pei Xuan said: "Official, what is the position of these literati with the word "contemplation" embroidered on their hats? "Sanniang also has four levels of civil service, which is for scribes, servants, counselors, military officers, and Confucian monarchs. The four levels of the civil service have the rank of one, two, three, and four. Sanniang said: "People at all levels have different monthly salaries and treatments, and those who have meritorious service can be promoted to positions in addition to rewards, and rewards and punishments are determined according to the rules of the village, regardless of relatives or relatives." ”

Pei Xuan praised: "The end is better than the government, if you are a small official, you will be a small official for the rest of your life, and there is no day when the non-imperial examination is not ahead, the cottage moves, just ask about the merits, you can teach people to work hard for the cottage." ”

Yang Lin also said: "Look at this town again, it is so prosperous, and there is also a recruitment hall to recruit heroes from all over the world, and Shaohua Mountain really lives up to its reputation." Deng Fei and Meng Kang also praised one after another.

Sanniang said: "Seven or eight out of ten of the transactions in this town are the business in the village, and the merchants come and go, and the village does not rob them, but only need to pay 20 cents per thousand cents of goods, and they can pass through this place unimpeded. The villages near the left are also paid for worship, and after the offerings are paid, the village is safe and secure, and there will be no robbers and thieves to rob them. ”

Speaking of this, the Zuo Lang official smiled and said: "I want to teach you that the team I lead is the team of the Cottage Patrol and Arrest Division, and they patrol everywhere in the morning and evening, not only to catch robbers and thieves, but also to take care of thieves and ruffians." Speaking of this, the Zuo Lang official bowed to everyone, and then said: "The villain still has official business, please wait in the Zhaoxian Pavilion first, the hall will entertain you from the council, and the villain will go to the office first." ”

After that, he saluted Hu Sanniang and said: "The big leader is above, and the subordinates go first." Sanniang nodded with satisfaction and said, "You can go, official business is important." "After that, the Zuolang officer led his subordinates to re-inspect.

Hearing this, Deng Fei scratched his head and said: "Hu Guanren, whether you are a cottage here, or a Shaohua Mountain Mansion, you have to take care of the affairs of the yamen as a public servant." I'm also a person who has violated the king's law, so they won't even take it from me. Everyone laughed together. Sanniang laughed and said, "Let's eat in the hall first, let's talk while eating." ”

In the Zhaoxian Pavilion, the councillor led out thirty or fifty villagers from the hall to help everyone settle their luggage, carriages, and horses, and the councillor and several scribes accompanied everyone into the hall for hospitality. When I arrived at the museum, I saw that the interior was spacious, with three courtyards in and out, and two bright halls. The councillor introduced Hu Sanniang and the other seven into the main hall in the middle of the hall, and arranged a large table for a banquet, and the rest of the small minions who followed were eating and drinking in the ear room and side hall.

The seven entered, and it was still Sanniang who sat first, Gongsun Sheng and Chai Jin sat left and right, Pei Xuan, Yang Lin, Deng Fei, and Meng Kang sat in turn, and the prime minister sat down from the council to accompany the prime minister. I saw that there were cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks on the table, and there were a few flavors of game, that is, bear's paw, venison, tiger bone soup and other flavors.

Sanniang sifted the wine and invited everyone to drink, and after three rounds of wine, Sanniang said: "If Brother Deng Fei asks, the big guy must be wondering, aren't all the heroes on our rivers and lakes robbing the road to get money, dividing the gold in a big scale, drinking wine in a big bowl, and eating meat in a big bowl?" Why are there so many rules here in Shaohua Mountain? The Deng Fei brothers were also afraid that they would be taken away by the mountain patrol brothers. Everyone laughed.

Sanniang said: "Everyone, listen to me carefully. ”
