When Zhang Meng said this, he turned around, calmed down, and quoted Sima Yi's words word by word: "The disaster is not satisfied, what can be done!" ”

After Zhang Meng finished speaking, he turned around abruptly and ordered Ma San'er: "Let's go, Ma San'er." Come out with me on errands. Saying goodbye to Gao Ling and Liu Ying, he took Ma San'er to Luoyang Street.

This Zhang Meng and Ma San'er were walking hurriedly on this street, and when they saw a coffin shop on the right side of the avenue, they checked it from the beginning and found a shop with a prosperous business and stepped in.

As soon as Zhang Meng walked into the door, the shopkeeper reported to the boss in a loud voice, saying that there was a distinguished guest coming to the door and hurriedly came out to receive him.

When the boss heard this, Ma came out and nodded and greeted Zhang Meng in.

Zhang Meng sat down, and didn't say anything gossip with the boss, but opened his mouth and said: "Trouble the boss to make a coffin and wood for the next horse?" To toon wood. Then, the size length and thickness of the length, one by one made a request, after speaking, left a sentence: "The price is easy to say, as long as I am satisfied, the price is determined by the boss himself." As he spoke, he took out a handful of silver coins, threw them on the case, and said, "This is the fixed money, and the rest of the expenses will be calculated when I come down to move the coffin." ”

After Zhang Meng finished speaking, he said goodbye to the boss, and went out to wander on the street, while shopping, while looking at the shops on both sides of the avenue, to see that there was a shroud shop in front of him, the façade listened to Kuozhuo, the customers came in and went out of the business is very prosperous, Zhang Meng stepped in, after entering the door, directly said to the boss: "In the next to order a hundred sets of mourning clothes, it is the time of mourning for filial piety and filial piety, hey——, right, fifty sets of men, fifty sets of women." ”

The boss asked when to use filial piety clothes, Zhang Meng rolled his eyes and thought for a while, and ordered: "Let's do it here first, and when I need it, I will naturally send someone to pick up the goods." ”

The boss was not very happy when he heard the chatter, Zhang Meng knew that he was waiting to accept the money, so he reached out and took out the money bag from his arms, poured out a pile of silver coins with a bang, and then said to the boss: "This is the fixed money, boss, you take it." I will make the shroud now, and when it is ready, I will put it in the store for storage, and when I want to use it, I will come and receive it. ”

Zhang Meng arranged these things, felt a little more relaxed, and then left the shroud shop, returned to the Futong Inn on Huaishu Street, found the boss, and talked to the boss again.

The innkeeper's surname is Huang, and the guests call him Boss Huang, but Zhang Meng doesn't know his specific name.

This Boss Huang saw Zhang Meng coming to talk, and hurriedly came over to accompany him, Zhang Meng said: "Boss Huang, there is something to ask for below, I don't know if you can help?" ”

When Boss Huang heard this, he quickly got up and nodded and replied: "Boss Zhang has any instructions, just talk about it, the identity of serving the guests is below, and the affairs of the guests are the things below, so how can there be any saying that you don't help." ”

When Zhang Meng heard this, he opened his mouth and said, "That's good." Since Boss Huang is talking like this, then I will say it. Please find me two sets of drummers, and then agree on ten sedan chairmen. The price is easy to say. When Zhang Meng said this, he took out the money bag from his arms again, poured out a pile of silver coins on the case with a bang, and then said: "This is the salary, Boss Huang, you order a little, if it is not enough, you will pay it after the matter is completed." ”

Boss Huang looked at it and shouted: "Enough, enough, enough." Where is the use of so much money? Saying that, he divided a pile of silver into two piles, and forced Zhang Meng to take back half of it.

Zhang Meng saw it and said, "This half will stay for the boss to buy wine to drink." There's no need to argue anymore. ”

Boss Huang was secretly happy when he heard this, raised his head and thought about it, and asked Zhang Meng: "Dare to ask, Boss Zhang, what are you using to hire a drummer and a sedan chair driver?" Do you want to get married and marry a daughter-in-law? ”

Zhang Meng laughed when he heard this, and said: "If you don't get married or marry a daughter-in-law, you have to prepare, and you must use it when the time comes." ”

"When will it be used?"

"Not necessarily, it's probably within this month and a half, and when the time comes, I'll contact you in advance."

At this time, Zhang Meng finished the peripheral steps of preparing to do things, and then went home, took out a bag of silver money from the old man, had lunch, and left the door with Ma San'er early.

Zhang Meng walked on the road, cost-effective as he walked: "After meeting the jailer, in what capacity do you speak?" Well, is it said that it is Sima Yi's relative? It's not suitable, how dare Sima Yi's relatives come forward at this time, if they don't get it right, they will be arrested by the jailers immediately. It is not easy to appear as Sima Yi's subordinate. ”

Zhang Meng made a bargain while walking, and finally decided: "Just appear as Sima Yi's friend, in this way, Sima Yi is in trouble, my friend will come forward to visit the prison, and the jailer will respect it." ”

While speaking, Zhang Meng came to the door of the prison where Sima Yi's father and son were held, and did not show cowering and fear, but straightened up, walked over with a lofty attitude, and came to the jailer guarding the door, and then greeted and asked: "This military master is so familiar, it seems that he has seen it in the general's mansion." With that, he leaned forward and stared at the jailer for him to speak.

As soon as the jailer saw such a figure standing up to the sky and the earth coming over in front of him, he didn't dare to slack off for a while, hurriedly got up, pushed the waist knife he was wearing behind him, and then replied: "Where did this good man come from, and what orders did he have when he saw him?" ”

Zhang Meng said, saying that he was a good friend of General Sima Yi, "I used to go to the General's Mansion to do things, and I was very familiar with the General's family." Alas——, General Sima is really a good man, Corporal Lixian, and he has never been a big official. It's a pity, I don't know what sins I've committed now, but when I know about it, I'm anxious to burn the fire, and I don't know how to help the general······ I came here today, just thinking about visiting the general, sending some wine and food to pay respects, and replenishing the general's body. Master Wanwang raised his noble hand and let him go in to visit. ”

When the jailer heard this, he hurriedly moved to the side to discuss with the other three guys, Zhang Meng saw it, took out a handful of silver coins from his arms, leaned over to him, handed it to the head one, and asked: "There is this request below, I hope that you military masters will make it convenient." ”

Since ancient times, silver money has always been a good key to open the door, these four jailers saw that Zhang Meng was extraordinary, and there was money to give, hearing Zhang Meng speak like this, so he muttered a few words as a difficulty, and later agreed to Zhang Meng's request, but after Zhang Meng entered, it could not exceed an hour.

Zhang Meng saw it, settled these bastards, turned around and went to a restaurant not far away, bought some dishes of fresh fish and cooked meat, and brought a pot of wine, and then returned to the prison, and under the leadership of the jailer, came to the door of the cell where Sima Yi was held.
