Wang Shi came back and lay on the bed to sleep, and it was not until midnight that he heard Feng Laifu and Cheng Guang, and the two walked and talked all the way into the next room. In the next few days, Feng Laifu and Cheng Guang went out early every morning, busy between these silk shops in the city, and from time to time took the silk shop owner to see the goods and ship them. Didn't bother to pay attention to Wang Shi, one evening Feng Laifu called Cheng Guang to the room, the two sat down, Feng Laifu touched the beard at the corner of his mouth, squinted his eyes and whispered: "I saw Boss Zhao at the dock yesterday, he just transported a batch of silk from Shuzhong, and I heard him say that the river is very peaceful now." ”

Cheng Guang glanced at Feng Laifu: "What do you mean?"

"I mean, now that the Iron Rope Gang has disappeared and the river is too peaceful, there is no need for the two brothers to give a piece of the pie surnamed Wang. Don't take him on the next trip to Kawanaka. ”

Cheng Guang was a little embarrassed: "It's not good, after all, it's thanks to him this time, otherwise our goods would have been robbed by the people of the Iron Rope Gang." Yes, we also brought him out. This is a bit like crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. ”

"Now that the waterway is too peaceful, and I still take him with me, and I am giving him a share, and the two of us will make a lot less money. Plus the stay in the hotel, the life on board. It's all money. Now he lives in the store, and he lives for half a month, and the food expenses of the store are not all our money. It's a lot of money. ”

Cheng Guang saw Feng Laifu say so much, and sighed: "Then it depends on how you send him." ”

"Now the goods are almost gone, and there are still some satin and inferior silk left. In a few days, they were sold. ，。 Let's settle the accounts in a few days. He said that he wanted to get up and go to Chuanzhong and settle the store money, saying that he couldn't afford it. If he is willing to return to Sichuan together, he will be brought back. It also seems that we have done our best. ”

The two had made up their minds, and they hurried to sell the remaining goods. Wang Shi had breakfast and wandered around the front and back of the street, and on a whim, he wanted to visit Ouyang Jing, and asked all the way to Hongwu Street. Walking forward through a few shops, I saw a big mansion in front, on both sides of which were more than ten meters long powder wall walls, and there was a large plaque on the gate, with black letters and red background, which read: Ouyang family, a mouth-swallowing beast on each side of the vermilion gate, with a big iron ring in its mouth. Wang Shi walked to the door and knocked a few times on the door with his hand, and after a while, a middle-aged doorman inside opened the door a crack, poked his head out and asked, "Who are you looking for!"

Wang Shi clasped his fists and saluted: "May I ask if this is the Ouyang family." ”

Menzi said: "Exactly, who are you looking for in the house." ”

Wang Shi said: "I know your son Qin, Qin Wen, I bother you to go and tell me, so I said that I, Wang Shi, came to pay a visit." Wang Shi considered that Ouyang Jing was a new widow, and if he said that he came to visit Ouyang Jing, it would be easy to cause misunderstanding, so he only said that he came to visit Qin Wen.

Menzi saw that he was looking for Qin Wen and said, "If you don't stay, I'll go in and talk about it." After speaking, he closed the door, and after a while, Qin Wen and Menzi came out of the door and said with a smile on their faces: "I haven't been offended from afar, Brother Wang, please come in." Qin Wen led the way, and invited Wang Shi to the hall, and there was a burly old man sitting in the middle, this person was Ouyang Xiu, Ouyang Mo was sitting on the right side of the head, and Ouyang Jing was sitting on the left.

Qin Wen introduced them one by one, retreated to his mother Ouyang Jing and stood with his hands down, and the maid came to serve tea. Ouyang Xiu said: "I have long heard Jing'er talk about the chivalry of the son, and he saved the lives of their mother and son two or three times. The old man is very grateful. ”

Wang Shidao: "It's nothing, it's all encountered, can it be ignored." It's just a matter of effort. ”

Ouyang Mo laughed beside him and said, "I heard from my sister that Wang Gongzi is very strong in martial arts, especially in palm power. Can you learn a thing or two with you? ”

Wang Shi saw that he wanted to learn from others, and waved his hand: "I have always pursued a principle of not fighting with others, the sword is eyeless, the fists and feet are ruthless, if there is a slight mistake, you hurt me, it is not good." "The latter sentence, saying that it's not good to hurt you, didn't say it.

Ouyang Mo sneered when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart: The kid is really crazy: "It's just a friendly exchange, you don't have to really fight, how can you get hurt." ”

Wang Shi said: "Since it's not a real fight, then what's the fight." Isn't that just a kid running a family? ”

Ouyang Jing saw on the side that Wang Shi's tone was already a little angry. Ouyang Mo also choked up a little when he spoke. Hurriedly played a round game: "Brother Wang, what do you like to eat, I told the kitchen to do it immediately." As he spoke, he gave Ouyang Mo a look.

It turned out that Ouyang Mo listened to Ouyang Jing and said how good Wang Shi's kung fu was, so he was not convinced, and he wanted to meet him with all his heart, but this Wang Shi was unwilling to compete with him, and he was very unhappy, and he was about to have a seizure, but he saw that the girl stopped with her eyes.

Wang Shi saw Ouyang Jing and asked, "I'm not a picky eater, I can eat any meat." ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "Hahaha! I was so offended by my child's language just now, don't blame him! He just likes to be strong and competitive." As soon as I hear that someone is good at kung fu, I have to compete with others. How many times have I told him that this problem just can't be changed. ”

Ouyang Jing deliberately diverted the topic: "Who is this Xuankong Dao Chief, my father knows his details." ”

Ouyang Xiu picked up the teacup and took a sip: "This Xuankong is the junior brother of Xuanhuang Daochang, the Taoist Temple is in Sichuan, Tiefeng Mountain, Xuanyuan Temple, Xuanhuang Daoist has some fame in the rivers and lakes in his early years, and he is proficient in Baguazhang. This Xuankong martial arts can also be regarded as a master, which is a little worse than his senior brother. ”

Ouyang Mo said: "Since he is in Sichuan, what are he doing in Jinling." ”

Ouyang Xiudao: "I heard that in the early years, Xuankong accepted a disciple in Jinling, and it seems that he is the prince of the sixth prince's family. Zhao Yunzhi. Most of them went to the palace. ”

Ouyang Jing said: "This prince is too, how did he find such a master for his son." ”

It was almost noon, Ouyang Xiu ordered the banquet, everyone sat down, the wine was over three rounds, the dishes were over five flavors, and at this time there was some wine, Ouyang Mo said: "I heard that Brother Wang is good at kung fu, so I will come to learn and learn." He didn't wait for Wang Shi to agree or not, he just slapped his palm on the table, shook the wine glass in front of him to a foot high, and then pushed the wine glass with his right palm, only to see the wine glass fly straight to Wang Shi's door with a strong wind, Wang Shi was about to speak and refuse, and in a blink of an eye saw Ouyang Mo slap the table, and then the wine glass flew towards the door. In a hurry, he reached out to take it, and he used it violently, smashing a wine glass to pieces.

Originally, Ouyang Mo's move was a common method among martial arts friends to learn internal strength, Ouyang Mo pushed the wine glass over, and the person who received it here had to hold the wine glass with his hand, and the wine could not be sprinkled. Then push back in. Both times did not lose their harmony. Wang Shi didn't know these rivers and lakes. Smash the wine glass. Ouyang Mo saw that Wang Shi slapped his wine glass, and he was angry in his heart, so he didn't give himself face, this Ouyang Mo Jianghu nicknamed the cotton knife, the first meaning means that he has deep internal strength, and the second meaning also includes his love to use yin tricks. There are countless people who have been plotted against him. Ouyang Mo used the Four Elephant Fist to attack, and Wang Shi dodged five or six moves in a row. These four elephant fists are pressed by gold, wood, water, and fire interact with each other, the fire phase is strong and mighty, and the water phase fist walks softly, making people unpredictable, and the wood phase moves back and forth in the loop. Jin Xiang, the fist moves are vicious and vicious, the four images change for no reason, Wang Shi doesn't know the reason of this fist, and he was forced to be in a hurry for a while, just blindly hastily covering up. The two fought for more than 40 rounds without seeing a victory, Ouyang Jing said on the side: "Brother, stop quickly, be careful not to hurt Wang Gongzi." But Ouyang Mo only did not listen, the two fought to fifty, Ouyang Mo saw that although Wang Shi was beaten by himself to dodge left and right, in a hurry, but he could not hurt him, so he had a plan, smashed Wang Shi's chest with his right fist, and took half a step forward with his left foot, Wang Shi quickly retreated to the left, stretched out his right palm to push. Ouyang Mo saw that Wang Shi really hit the plan, and when Wang Shi's right palm was about to touch his wrist, Ouyang Mo suddenly turned his fist into a palm to buckle Wang Shi's right wrist, and he was about to use the wrong muscles and bones when he grabbed it. Ouyang Xiu saw it early, and was about to stop it, but he saw Wang Shi wrapping his wrist with a golden snake, and wanted to take Ouyang Mo back, Ouyang Mo saw this and quickly let go, but pointed at Wang Shi's wrist Taiyuan acupoint with his sword finger. Ouyang Jing saw it on the side and shouted, "Prince Wang, be careful. ”

Wang Shi saw that Ouyang Mo was so entangled, as if he didn't knock himself down today, he wouldn't stop, if he really wanted to fight him, he would inevitably have a grudge again. I don't know how to end it. had to continue to fight with Ouyang Mo, and the two fought for a few more rounds. Wang Shi has gradually figured out Ouyang Mo's boxing routines, and he is very handy in dealing with them. Ouyang Mo also noticed this, and thought to himself, if he continued to fight like this, his Four Elephant Fist would not be learned by him. Determined to make a killer to use a trick, thunder fire practice pill, double fist beat Wang Shi under the plate, Wang Shi was about to use the old tree roots, but this punch method came fiercely. Before the punch arrived, the strong wind had already arrived, and in a hurry, he hurriedly dragged over a bench to block the punch, Ouyang Mo punched the bench, and the entire bench was shaken into slag. Wang Shi retreated and shouted: "How much enmity I have with you! Don't fight! Don't fight! Come to your house for a meal, that's it, Wang said goodbye!"

Ouyang Jing hurriedly stepped forward to stay: "My brother has drunk too much, don't be angry, please stay." ”

Seeing Wang Shi speak like this, Ouyang Mo had to stop his hand, hugged his fists and said, "Just now, my hand was a little stronger. I hope that Brother Wang will not blame it. ”

Wang Shidao: "I just said that I won't learn from you, why are you always pressing step by step." After eating a few glasses of wine from your house, Wang thanked me here and said goodbye!" he said with a fist, turned his head and walked out the door. Ouyang Xiu was really angry when he saw Wang Shi. Hurriedly got up and shouted: "Brother Wang Xian, stay and stay, just now Xiao'er was rude for a while, and he was offended, and the old man made amends with wine." ”

Wang Shi turned his head and stood for a moment: "If you make amends, you will be exempted, just because I haven't been here today, so I'm bothered." Turning his head straight and leaving, Qin Wen came from behind again, persuading, and kept apologizing in his mouth, where was Wang Shi willing to listen.

It was already afternoon when he came out of Ouyang's house, and after walking around the street for a while, he went back to the inn, and when he entered the room, he didn't feel good in his heart, and said secretly: This Ouyang Mo has said that he can't talk about it, and he still stalks and fights, and his four like fists are nothing more than that, lying on the bed and thinking about it for a while, he heard the footsteps in the aisle outside, and then Feng Laifu said loudly outside the door: "Is Brother Wang inside?" ”

"Inside, it's Boss Feng, please come in. Wang Shi said as he went to open the door, let Feng Laifu and Cheng Guang into the room, the two sat down at the table, exchanged a few words, Feng Laifu called the shopkeeper up, ordered four or five meat dishes, three or two vegetarian dishes, asked for two pots of wine, and the three of them sat together and persuaded seven or eight cups. Wang Shidao: "These times, the two of you are busy with business every day, and I don't know how much of the goods have been lost. ”

Cheng Guangdao: "Most of them have already been out of business, and there is still a small part left, and we are talking about buyers these days." ”

Wang Shidao: "After the goods are sold, are we going to leave for Sichuan again?" ”

Feng Laifu said: "Yes, but, Brother Wang, you see, our book is a small profit, and the consumption of three people living in the inn is also large, and the current market is not good, so we don't want to trouble you on the next trip." It's just me and Brother Cheng. When the goods are sold out, we will give you your 10% dividend. You see if you are willing to go back to Sichuan with us, just go all the way, if you want to stay in Jinling, you can do it yourself. You have to pay for the house and the food yourself. ”

Wang Shi listened and said secretly in his heart: It turns out that the two of them came to me for a drink today just to talk about this matter, I said how the two of them have been a little cold since they arrived in Jinling, and today they suddenly became so enthusiastic. "It's not that the river is not peaceful, I won't go, you are not afraid of the goods being robbed." ”

Feng Laifu said: "Listen to the merchants who came out of Sichuan, since the disappearance of the Iron Rope Gang, there are no bandits on the waterway now. ”

Wang Shi said: "I see. So when are you going to settle the score? ”

Feng Laifu said: "Today I have already agreed with the owner of the Niu Ji silk shop under the Yixian Bridge, and I will come to see the goods tomorrow." We'll settle the accounts tomorrow night. ”

Wang Shi said: "Since this is the case, it's fine." The three of them persuaded a few more glasses of wine, Feng Laifu and Cheng Guang drank until they were half-drunk, and each went back to his room.

The next day, Boss Niu came to see the goods and bought the rest. Late time. Feng Laifu and Cheng Guang brought the abacus to Wang Shifang, and Feng Laifu pulled the abacus beads up and down for a long time. "This time we earned a total of three hundred and fifty taels, after deducting the inn's room and meals, and various expenses, there are still two hundred and nineteen taels and three cents left. According to the 10% bonus, Brother Wang should receive 2129 cents and 3 cents. After speaking, he handed the silver to Wang Shi. Wang Shi took it in his hand and thought to himself, didn't Zhu Fu, the prefect of Jiujiang, give him two hundred and fifty taels of silver, why not take out one hundred taels to make a stock with them: "Boss Feng, Boss Cheng, I also want to come and buy a share, I don't know if you are willing." ”

Feng Laifu looked at Cheng Guang and said, "How many shares do you want to buy?" ”

Wang Shi took out a hundred taels of silver from his baggage and put it on the table: "I'll put in a hundred taels." ”

Feng Laifu said: "Yes, so Cheng Guang and I will pay four hundred taels alone, anyway, we can go to Xichuan to get five hundred taels of silver for one shipload at a time, or we can do two ships of goods and make up enough for one thousand taels, how about two hundred taels when Brother Wang has silver." ”

Wang Shi said: "Since Boss Feng said so, then I will take another hundred taels, and good things will come in pairs." ”

Feng Laifu called the shopkeeper and asked for a table of wine and food, and Boss Feng picked up the wine glass: "Come! Congratulations to Brother Wang for joining, why is our business getting bigger and bigger." The three of them persuaded seven or eight glasses of wine, drank more deeply, Feng Laifu and Cheng Guang, and then the two went back to their rooms.

The next day, Feng Laifu and Cheng Guang went to the dock to hire a boat, and Wang Shi said goodbye to the two of them. Feng Laifu and Cheng Guang first went to Chongming by boat, bought some kelp, seaweed, sea fish and other things, raised enough a boatload of seafood, and then headed for Sichuan, the journey was nearly a month, and when they arrived in Sichuan, they sold the seafood to buy Shu brocade and silk. Back to Jinling. This lasted for nearly two months.

However, he said that Wang Shi returned to the inn after sending Feng Laifu and Cheng Guang away, and not long after sitting in the room, Qin Wen asked about the inn, and the shopkeeper took Qin Wen upstairs to the door of Wang Shi's room. Qin Wen knocked on the door and said, "Is Brother Wang in the house?" ”

Wang Shi heard Qin Wen's voice, "Here" opened the door and let Qin Wen into the house, and the two sat down separately. Qin Wendao: "Since that day, after Brother Wang went, my mother often felt very guilty for my uncle's recklessness and offended Brother Wang, so let me make amends, and be sure to ask Brother Wang to sit down in the house." ”

Wang Shi said: "This is not necessary, lest you go, then Ouyang Mo will be entangled again." ”

No matter what Qin Wen said, Wang Shi just didn't go, Wang Shi left Qin Wen to have two drinks at noon, and Qin Wen went back alone in the afternoon. When I handed over my son at night, I was working cross-legged on the bed when I suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, which I would have not heard before. Because of the practice of the five aggregates of internal strength during this period of time, coupled with the meridians around the body, Zen Master Yuanhui used internal strength to help get through, and now the heart and eyes are bright, and the ears and hearing are enhanced. Even ants can hear their footsteps when they walk. Although the person who came was very light and walked very lightly, there were still some subtle sounds. The visitor stopped at the door, and then heard the slightest sound of air flowing through the crack under the door. Wang Shi had heard in the cottage before that some flower thieves used a small bamboo tube to light a special medicine powder and blow it into the girl's boudoir, and the girl would immediately fall into a coma when she smelled the smoke. Listening to this sound is very much like blowing smoke, although I haven't seen it, I guess it won't be wrong, but what to do, Wang Shi quickly took a deep breath, held his breath and slowly walked to the door and kicked the door open, there was a man in black outside the door, lying on the ground and blowing smoke, not beware of Wang Shi suddenly kicked the door open, turned over and rolled on the ground and raised his hand. Wang Shi saw a man in black on the ground pounce and get up and run, just about to chase, only to see this person suddenly throw his hand back, Wang Shi guessed that it was a hidden weapon, and hurriedly flashed to the side, only to see three silver needles hit the column next to him, and then saw that the man in black had jumped down the aisle, ran away and disappeared into the night. Pulled out the three silver needles on the stigma, took them to the lamp and looked carefully, only to see that the silver needles were very slender, and there was a faint fragrance of roses. It turned out that the man in black just now was the Yaksha patrolling the river, Wei Qing. It's finally coming to the door. Wang Shi thought in his heart: This Wei Qing has three stunts, rose silver needle, turtle breath Dafa, and disguise technique. In particular, this disguise technique is the most unguardable. I don't dare to sleep in bed, if this Wei Qing takes advantage of my sleep and comes over and shoots a few silver needles, it will be over. Thinking of this, Wang Shi closed the door, turned off the lights, went out through the back window, came to the kitchen of the inn, and fell asleep in the firewood and grass pile in the kitchen.

Originally, Wei Qing estimated that Wang Shi would have fallen asleep, but he didn't know that Wang Shi had to get up and practice cross-legged every day in the middle of the night. So it was just in time to come. If it had been another hour or two, Wang Shi would have suffered from his way. The next morning, Wang Shi went to the street outside to buy a winter melon, wrapped it in a cloth, put it on the bed, and covered it with a quilt. At night, he bolted the door from the inside, climbed out of the back window, and secretly went to sleep in the firewood and straw pile in the kitchen. As soon as it was dawn in the morning, I went back into my room through the back window. Two or three days passed, and this morning he rolled back into his room through the window. found that there was a fragrance of roses in the whole room, walked to the side of the bed and took a closer look, there were three silver needles inserted in the winter melon on the bed, Wang Shi was secretly glad that he didn't sleep here last night. No, these three silver needles are not pierced on the winter melon, but on themselves.

This Wei Qing came to visit Wang Shi's room again last night, first used a smoke, and then went into the house and sent three silver needles to the bed. It is estimated that Wang Shi has been shot. And then it went out. The next day, Wei Qing came to the store to pretend to eat, but saw that Wang Shi was fine. There is nothing to do, and I can't help but wonder if he can cure me of the poison of the rose silver needle. Hou Wangshi went upstairs after breakfast.

Wei Qing walked to the kitchen, and the shopkeeper saw Wei Qing walking to the back kitchen, and stepped forward to stop: "What do you want to eat, just ask." Wei Qing stretched out his sword finger and clicked a few acupuncture points on the chest of the shopkeeper, and suddenly his whole body stiffened and couldn't move, and he couldn't speak. As soon as he lifted the shopkeeper and entered the kitchen, the cook was making soup by the pot, and saw Wei Qing coming in with the shopkeeper, "What are you doing." As soon as he said a word, Wei Qing had already lit the acupoint, and then the old man who burned the fire also lit the acupoint, and threw the three of them together in the firewood and straw.

Wei Qing looked at the shopkeeper, his height was much shorter than himself, the old man who burned the fire was a hunchback, and his body was even shorter, only the chef was about the same height as himself, but he was fatter than Wei Qing. took out a leather bag from his arms, took out a ball of resin in it, spread the resin on the cook's face, spread it evenly, and then took it off and put it on his face. At this time, the innkeeper walked into the back kitchen to inspect the house, and saw the cook and the shopkeeper, the hunchback of the fire was lying in the firewood and straw, and there was an identical cook standing by the stove, and he opened his mouth wide in surprise: "You! Who are you!" Xiang Dahan saw that Wei Qing was wearing clothes that were not the clothes of the cook, so he also saw that Wei Qing was not a real cook, and the cook lying in the firewood and grass was the real cook.

Wei Qing didn't speak, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to point at the big man's acupoint, and also threw it in the firewood and straw. Then he walked to the cook and pulled out the cook's clothes and pants, and wore them on himself in the future, the only thing that he didn't change was his shoes, when Wei Qing took off the cook's shoes, he covered his nose with a foul smell. "It's been a long time since you've washed your feet, they stink." "I hesitated a few times, and I really couldn't put on these shoes. Threw the cook's stinky shoes in his face. I couldn't help but curse a few words. When everything is done, let's go and cook. Closed the kitchen door until noon, Wei Qing made a braised pork, a crispy chicken, a plate of beef, a pot of wine, three vegetarian dishes and a bowl of rice, took out a small bottle from his arms, and drugged the dishes and wine, "Look if I can't poison you." He put the rice and vegetables in the basket and walked upstairs and knocked on the door: "Is the guest officer here, I'm here to bring you food." ”

Wang Shizheng was meditating on the bed with his knees crossed, and when he heard Wei Qing speak, he walked to the door and pulled the door open, "You are! Why didn't the shopkeeper come to deliver it?" Who are you?"

Wei Qing secretly said in his heart: It turns out that Wang Shi doesn't know the cook, and I pretended to paint in vain. He smiled and said, "I'm the chef in this shop." The guest officer is really a noble man who forgets things. ”

"It turned out to be the master in the back kitchen, no wonder I don't recognize you, and I haven't been to the back kitchen to see it. Where did the shopkeeper go, why do you want to come and deliver the food in person. ”

Wei Qing put the food in the basket on the table at the same time: "Shopkeeper, just now I suddenly went crazy, it's scary, the boss let his family pick it up, don't I have to deliver the food." Wei Qing put the food on the table, and went out of the door, Wang Shi walked to the table, sat down and just picked up a quick piece of beef to be sent to his mouth, and suddenly remembered the shoes on the feet of this cook, the cook can earn a few dollars a year, but the leather boots worn by the chef who came to deliver the meal just now cost a hundred taels of silver, and ordinary people can't afford it at all. There are only a few shoe stores in this Jinling City. After looking at the style first, you can only customize it after measuring the size. There is absolutely no way a cook can afford to buy such boots to wear. This person must be Wei Qing's disfigurement, thinking of this, he put down his chopsticks and ran out quickly, it turned out that Wei Qing was watching by the corridor door after delivering the meal, and saw Wang Shi pick up a piece of beef and just didn't send it to his mouth, and then saw Wang Shi running out. Pulling out three of them from his sleeves, Rose Silver shot at Wang Shimian's door.

As soon as Wang Shigang rushed out of the door, he saw that the fake cook who delivered the meal raised his hand, and knew that it must be the rose silver needle, because he ran too fast and the distance between the two was too close, so he had to quickly make an iron plate bridge, and fell backwards, and three rose silver needles shot on the door frame.

Wei Qing saw that Wang Shi had avoided the silver needle with an iron plate bridge, and immediately took out three silver needles to the sleeve, and shot at Wang Shi's crotch with a raised hand.

Wang Shizheng avoided the three silver needles shot at the front door with an iron plate bridge, and was just about to get up, but saw the fake cook's hand raise the three silver needles and shoot them at the crotch: "You kid is so ruthless, I know you are Wei Qing!" As he spoke, his feet slammed into the air, and he rolled a foot away to the right before falling to the ground.

Wei Qing was very surprised, he could dodge it like this, it was incredible, and then he put his hand into his sleeve to touch the silver needle and shoot it.

As soon as Wang Shi landed, he saw Wei Qing put his hand into his sleeve, knowing that he would definitely shoot the silver needle again, and secretly said in his heart: If you keep shooting, you will have to exhaust Lao Tzu to death. Hurriedly got up and chased the wind and the moon with a move. Got up with his right foot to kick Wei Qing, Wei Qing was about to touch the silver needle to shoot him, and when he saw Wang Shi's right foot kicking him, he jumped up, and the immortal pointed to Wang Shi's acupoint.

The two came and went, fighting in the aisles for forty rounds without a winner. Wei Qing's poisonous snake in his left hand spat out the letter, and shot out a rose silver needle from between his fingers, which was Wei Qing's nirvana. Even if ordinary people can avoid the poisonous snake spitting out the letter, the rose silver needle flying out of the fingers is often unavoidable. Wang Shi saw Wei Qing spit out a poisonous snake to insert it into his throat, because he had long known the power of Wei Qing's rose silver needle, and Wei Qing's right hand had touched it in the sleeve of his left hand just now. Therefore, it is also suspected that he may have hidden a rose silver needle in his hand. When Wei Qing used this trick of poisonous snake spitting letters, he got up and rolled forward, which could avoid Wei Qing's poisonous snake spit letters, and could also snatch into his arms. Wei Qing saw that Wang Shi's body suddenly sank down, and he actually avoided his own move, and then saw Wang Shi rush in, hurriedly kicked forward with both feet, and made a chain kick, Wang Shi was about to rush into Wei Qing's arms, but suddenly saw him kicking with both feet. Hurriedly pushed forward with both palms, and with great force, Wei Qing was hanging in the air and flew up with his feet to kick Wang Shi, but was hit by Wang Shi's palms on the insteps of his feet, and the whole person was knocked away at once, and he hurriedly stabilized his body. At this time, it happened to fall on the street at the entrance of the inn, Wei Qing turned around and shouted at Wang Shi, "I won't let you go." After saying that, he ran away quickly.

Wang Shi watched Wei Qing's back disappear into the crowd on the street, and he was secretly frightened in his heart, he almost caught his way just now. I thought to myself: Wei Qing is a pretending chef, so what about the chef and the shopkeeper in the kitchen, they won't be killed by him. Quickly walked to the kitchen and saw a few people lying on the pile of firewood and grass, you couldn't move, and you couldn't speak, knowing that you were ordered by Wei Qing. "Don't be in a hurry, the acupuncture points will be self-explanatory in twelve hours. "Twelve hours is twenty-four hours. Wang Shi sighed, thinking that he hadn't eaten lunch yet, so he went to the tank next to him to get a few eggs, because he was worried that the water in the tank was poisonous, so he put the eggs in the fire and burned them, cooked them and peeled off the eggshells. After eating the eggs, I went out of the store to the nearby vegetable market and bought a few live fish. Put it in the water tank in the back kitchen of the inn and tell the cook: "This fish is put in the tank to test whether the water is poisonous." Don't catch me and eat it. I come to see it every day. "The cook and the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper Xiang Dahan, the old man who burned the fire, lay on the firewood and straw, and watched Wang Shi in the kitchen, doing this and that, but where the eyes were rolling.

The fish swam around in the tank, and knowing that the water was not poisonous, they scooped a ladle of water to wash the pot, and dug two bowls of rice in the bowl to cook a pot of rice. At this time, the other guests in the store saw that no one had come to deliver the food for a long time, so they all came out of the room and walked to the back kitchen to look, and everyone saw the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper sitting on the ground, and the chef, all of whom couldn't move, but when they saw where Wang Shi was cooking, they asked, "What's wrong with the shopkeeper." It's almost time to pay, and I don't cook to give us food, but I don't miss your room money. ”

Wang Shi said with a smile: "They are not comfortable here to rest and recuperate today." I'll cook for you, but you'll be able to wait a minute. ”

The crowd was a little unconvinced, and went to the hall and sat and waited for the meal. After Wang Shi made a pot of rice, he stir-fried a few vegetarian dishes. He cut a large pot of beef and brought it out and put it in the hall: "If you want to eat, bring your own bowl and serve it." Then he went to get a bowl and scooped rice, and ate two bowls of beef.

The shopkeeper Xiang Dahan, and the second chef of the shop, the old man who burned the fire, have been staying on the firewood and grass, and they can only move at noon the next day. Xiang Dahan's wife saw that he didn't go back all night and came to the store to look, at this time, Xiang Dahan, who was in the hut behind the counter, took off his wet pants, found a dry pants and was about to wear them, and pushed the door to Dahan's wife and came in. "What are you doing, you haven't put on your pants yet! "This Xiang Dahan's wife is a well-known tigress. Because of her mother's surname Gao, she was named Gao Guihua. The neighbors on the left and right took a nickname: Flower Tiger.

Xiang Dahan complained while wearing his pants: "What kind of fox spirit is there, I was ordered to the acupoint yesterday, I couldn't move, I stayed in the kitchen firewood and grass pile for twelve hours, and the acupoint was untied just now, and I held my stomach for urine, I couldn't hold back, and I was in the crotch of my pants." ”

Hua Laohu was angry when he heard it: "Who is so lacking in virtue, call him out and I will settle accounts with him." ”

"What are you looking for, people have already run away. Xiang Dahan changed his pants, went out to the counter and just stood up, and the guests up and down complained about the poor food supply, and Xiang Dahan hurriedly compensated for it.

The cook and the shopkeeper also changed their pants and hurriedly made lunch. I send it to each room.

Wang Shi stayed in the room after eating, Feng and Cheng had been gone for almost a month, and there was no news, and they were a little worried, the two of them would not run away with the money, or they would not come back. After thinking about it again, it was only two hundred taels of silver anyway, and it was all given by Zhu Fu, so it was not a big deal if it was given up. After a while, he comforted himself again, Feng Laifu and Cheng Guang were not that kind of people. Think about it for a while and complain for a while. Decided to go out for a walk, and when he got out of the inn, he remembered that Wu Ren said that he lived in Pearl Lane, and it was not far away, so it was better to go over and look at him. All the way to Pearl Alley. I walked all the way to Pearl Alley, asked a few families, and said they didn't know such a person. Asking people back and forth on the street, he was hesitating, but he saw Wu Ren wearing a black green coat and official boots. Come out into the alley.

As soon as I entered the alley, I saw Wang Shi looking around: "Brother Wang!"

Wang Shi heard the shout and saw that it was Wu Ren who complained: "I didn't look for it there, and I asked the people in the alley and said they didn't know." But it's hard for me to find it. ”

Wu Ren laughed: "Go, go, go, go to the front tavern for two drinks, there are no good dishes at home." As he spoke, he pulled Wang Shi to a tavern at the entrance of the alley, and the two sat down, ordered a few vegetables and vegetables, asked for two pots of wine, and persuaded them to have six or seven glasses. Wang Shi asked, "Why do you look like you're on an errand in the public gate?" ”

Wu Ren said with a smile, and didn't hide it from his brother that a few days ago, he lost his capital by doing business, and he happened to know Master Zhong in the Jinling Mansion, and made a few taels of silver, so he found this errand and became a servant in the mansion.

Wang Shidao: "It's good to practice in the public gate, and if you encounter anything in the future, do more good things for the people." ”

Wu Ren sighed: "You think I want to go to this yamen as an errand, but there is no way, business is not good." You have to find a way to make a living. "Come, come, come, drink, the two persuaded a few more glasses. Look at the dark, Wu Ren took Wang Shi to the house, this house is not big two, there is a living room outside, a bedroom inside, there is no other furniture in the house, there is a large wooden bed against the wall on the left hand side of the door, there is a dresser on the right, and there is a wooden shelf for putting a basin next to it. There is a piece of cloth on it, which is not white, black and black. Wu Ren went to the teapot and poured a bowl of tea and handed it to Wang Shi, put the teapot at the door and said with a smile: "I'm just a little shabby here, but I'm barely okay." You live in an inn, and your daily expenses are also high, so you might as well move to me. I made a bunk on the ground. ”

Wang Shi drank tea while drinking: "It's not that I don't want to move in, it's just that I moved over, and Boss Feng and Boss Cheng couldn't find me when they came back." ”

Wu Ren was surprised: "Why haven't they given you dividends yet?" ”

"The last one has been divided, and they gave me twenty taels of silver, and they want to withdraw from the gang, and I have invested another two hundred taels of silver to join the gang, and they said that they have made up a thousand taels of silver to go to Sichuan to do goods, and they have not yet transferred. ”

Wu Ren thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go with them." ”

The two of them said that the road was too peaceful now, and that they didn't need me to go, and that I couldn't help if I went, so they asked me to wait here for them to come back. ”

Wu Ren said: "If they don't come back, won't your two hundred taels of silver be wasted?" ”

"No, I don't think Feng Laifu and Cheng Guang are this kind of people, I think they have been doing this business for a long time, and it is impossible to throw away this business for my two hundred taels of silver. ”

Wu Ren used a wooden plank to lay on the floor: "Maybe I'm too careful, I don't think it's like this." Unless they don't make this deal, they'll meet sooner or later. ”

Wang Shi stayed with Wu Ren that night, and Wu Ren got up early the next morning, and he had to go to the roll call when the yamen was in the middle of the day. This is called a dot. It is between five and six o'clock in the morning.

Wu Ren came back after ordering Mao and bought a few baskets of steamed buns on the way. A few fritters. I took it back and had breakfast with Wang Shi, and when it was time to go to the yamen to serve. Wang Shi said goodbye after breakfast and wandered around the street, watched juggling, walked to Sigu Lane, but saw an old aunt at the door crying, seeing that he was crying pitifully, he stepped forward and asked: "Why is the aunt crying?" ”

This lady was wearing a green cloth coat and a pair of black pants underneath, it was the weather in June, and she was sad to sit at the door of her house with unkempt hair and cry, and when she saw Wang Shi come to ask, she rubbed her tears with her sleeves to stop crying: "Strong man, there is a prankster named Tang Yong on our street, who is rampant and domineering on the street, and has a nickname called Zhensan Street." Some time ago, my son went to the gambling house to gamble money, and he borrowed a tael of silver from him. After three days, Tang Yong came to the house to ask for an account, and my son took a tael of silver to pay him back, and he said that the interest of the three days was added together, and he wanted to pay him back thirty taels of silver. If you don't give money, you will drag people to the Shenjiang River. He also robbed us of all the valuable things in our house, and we orphans and widows had nothing to do with him. The people of the yamen didn't care. ”

Wang Shi asked in confusion: "Why doesn't the yamen care?" ”

The old woman said: "This Tang Yong is the godson of Fan Rui, the prefect of Jinling. ”
