It is said that Wang Shi has already heard the fire downstairs, his right hand went to the sleeve of his left hand and found a sharp knife in his hand, and rushed upstairs with a few arrows, the bald donkey was having a good time, so that Wang Shi's footsteps upstairs were not heard, and the vibration was too great, and the footsteps were covered by the squeak of the bed, and the sound of the Zhao widow's grace. Wang Shi rushed upstairs to see that the bald donkey was still playing, grabbed the bald donkey's feet and neck with his left hand, and slammed it to the ground, the bald donkey was naked and didn't know what was going on, the person was dragged to the ground, just about to scream, turned around and saw that it was Wang Shi, but opened his mouth wide and couldn't scream, and the widow Zhao hurriedly grabbed the clothes and put them on on the bed, and didn't dare to make a noise, after all, it was not good to do this kind of thing. After getting dressed, he was about to go downstairs, but Wang Shi stopped him: "You just squat there, don't move!"

Wang Shi turned his head and put the tip of the knife on the neck of the Zhike monk and Jing Nian, and scolded in his mouth: "You bald donkey, change your name to Jing Nian, your TM thoughts are not clean at all, it's really dirty!"

"I didn't change the name myself, but the elders. "Pure thoughts tremble and discern diligently.

"You still have a reason! Do you want the elder to give you a Dharma name, and you will be satisfied!"

Jing Nian's eyes were fixed on the tip of the knife around his neck, and he was too frightened to speak.

Wang Shi sighed: "You said that you are a thief and a thief, and you are a prostitute, say quickly! Wang Shi asked five or six times in a row, but the monk just bowed his head and said nothing.

Wang Shi said: "It seems that you, a monk, are really not afraid of death, and you will give up your life and wealth, right? Then I will let you live as well as die! As he spoke, he stepped on the monk's chest with his right foot, went to the bed with his left hand and tore off the sheets, tore them into a few strips of cloth, twisted them into a rope, tied the monk's hands and feet tightly, and tied the widow Zhao with strips of cloth.

Wang Shi dragged the monk to the base of the wall and tied it firmly to the head of the column with a rope. "I'm asking you one last time, where is the silver in my baggage?" Wang Shi saw that the monk still didn't speak, so he went to pull a rag and stuffed it in the monk's mouth in the future. "You think I can't fit it in if you grit your teeth, do you?" "I wanted to punch him and break his jaw joint and dislocate his jaw joint, but then I thought about it again, so he couldn't talk for a while, how could I ask where the silver was. He inserted the tip of the knife into the monk's mouth, opened his teeth and stuffed all the rags into it: "I'm not afraid of you talking, but I'm afraid that you will scream too loudly for a while." ”

Wang Shi pinched the monk's right ear tightly with the index finger and thumb of his left hand, and then slowly cut down with a knife to the root of the ear, saying as he cut: "You forced it." Does it hurt? ”

Monk Jingnian grew up in the temple since he was a child, eating white rice and fine noodles, living in the high hall Daewoo, usually some small mistakes, the abbot Mingkong Zen Master is only verbally admonished, how to suffer such suffering, early pain almost back to the breath. Snot and tears flowed down his face. Wang Shi slowly cut the root of the right ear of the Jingnian monk down, until he stopped his hand at the earlobe, and then let his half-pulled ear hang bloody, pointed at the Jingnian monk's nose and said, "You know it hurts!" The Jingnian monk nodded hurriedly, and his mouth whined. The movement can't be too big, the right ear is still hanging bloody, only leaving some skin to pull, shaking his head, the hanging ear, flicking around and pulling the wound painful.

Seeing him nodding, Wang Shi continued: "Well, it seems that you are honest now, I pulled the cloth from your mouth, but you are not allowed to scream, if you dare to scream, I will cut off your tongue, you can see it, I can do it." The monk hurriedly nodded again, and his ears, which had not been severed, were bobbed back and forth, and the wound was painful. After Wang Shi finished speaking, he saw him nodding, and then took the broken bula out of his mouth.

"I ask you now, where is the baggage and the silver? Don't fool me! Answer honestly, if you dare to say half a lie to me, today next year will be your sacrifice day!" Wang Shi said, holding the tip of his knife against the monk's neck.

Jing Nian said: "The money in the baggage is all in my room, in the rattan box, under the bed. Every sentence is true, and I dare not have half a lie. ”

Wang Shi walked over and dragged Widow Zhao to the foot of the bed, tied it firmly to the foot of the bed, and then took two rags to block the mouths of the two of them.

He took the key from the bedside cupboard, warned him not to move, came downstairs, opened the door, turned back and locked it with a lock, and found a shop in the street that sold incense and candles, and bought a large candle. When he came back, he threw a rope off the beam, then untied the monk and pressed him to the ground, tied him with a rope in a cross shape, and tied his hands and feet back in a reverse bow, tying them together. Tie one end of the rope in the middle, then find a wooden stool, lift the monk Jingnian and put it on the wooden board, tie the other end of the rope through the beam to the pillar, and tie it tightly twice around the place where it touches the ground, and tie a knot. He turned around and took off the stool under the Pure Nian Monk, so that the Pure Nian Monk was hung up, about three feet high from the ground, and then Wang Shi turned over the wooden stool and broke the foot of the stool, leaving only one foot long, and the broken part was sharpened into a sharp coneshape with an axe, and placed it under the body of the Pure Nian Monk, and got up and lit the candle and placed it next to the pillar, and put the end of the candle next to the rope. When everything was done, he walked up to Jing Nian and said, "You also saw that this rope hangs you through the beam of the house, and it is tied to the pillar, and when the candle below burns the four parts, it will burn the rope, and as soon as the rope breaks, you will fall down with a thud, and then you will be stabbed to death by the wooden awl I put underneath." But don't worry, it won't take more than an hour to ride a horse from here to your Guixi Temple, and it will take ten hours for this candle to burn to the position of the rope, which is more than enough time. I'll go to the temple and get the money, and I'll come back right away and put you down. If you dare to lie, I won't be able to come back in time, the candle will burn the rope, and your little life will be gone. Is there anything else you want to say to me. Wang Shi pulled out the cloth from Jing Nian's mouth and asked.

Jing Nian hurriedly spit out two mouthfuls of spit, gasped and said, "The silver and baggage are not in the box, I am afraid that someone will find out, so I dug a pit under the bed and buried them in the ground." You take the money, come back quickly, and let me go! Don't delay, this candle burns fast!"

Wang Shi sneered twice and stuffed the rag back into the monk's mouth. Then I came downstairs, found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone at the counter, and wrote a notice on a piece of white paper: "I went out to visit relatives, closed today, new and old customers, please beg for forgiveness!" A way back to the inn, go to the back trough to lead the horse, repay the store money, take the road to the Guixi Temple, walk to the temple gate, two little monks greeted over, Wang Shi thought in his heart, if I said to take the silver, these monks will definitely want to quarrel with me, at that time it was not good-looking, why not go to the abbot Mingkong Zen Master first, to see how he disposed of. I saw two little monks come over and ask: "Amitabha!"

Wang Shidao: "The abbot is here, I came to visit the abbot Mingkong Zen Master." ”

The little monk said, "Here, please come with me." Another little monk took Wang Shi's horse and led it to the stable.

Wang Shi followed the little monk back to the door of the abbot's room. The little monk stopped Wang Shi and said, "Wait for me to go in first to tell the abbot, and the donor will be outside the door later." ”

"There is Master Lao!"

The little monk went in for a while, and then came out and said, "The abbot asks the benefactor to wait for tea." ”

Wang Shi bowed down and hugged his fists and thanked him, and walked into the abbot's room, the two saluted each other, and the guest sat down, Wang Shi said: "This morning, Xiaosheng was at the door of Widow Zhao's teahouse, and saw the monk of your temple, Master Jingnian walked in, and then Widow Zhao closed the door of the store, I suspected that something was wrong, so I climbed in from the back wall, and as expected, I was arrested. Master Jingnian personally confessed, my burden and silver were taken by him, and they were buried under the bed, I don't know what Master Mingkong is advocating?"

Zen Master Mingkong, after listening to Wang Shi's words, sighed and said: "Amitabha! Sin! Sin! It is all because I am not strict in my control, so that I have done such a shameful thing. Then he instructed the little monk at the door: "Go and call the first pure dust." The little monk took the order and left, and after a while, the first monk Jingchen walked in, bowed down and asked with one palm: "Amitabha! ”

Zen Master Mingkong recounted Wang Shi's words to Jingchen, and then instructed: "You quickly go to the Jingnian room and dig out the silver, take it here and return it to the donor in person!"

The first Jingchen led the order to retreat, called a few little monks, took a hoe and shovel, and sure enough, he dug out the burden under the bed of Jingnian, and when he opened it, it was all white flowers and silver, and if he was careful, there were 1,200 taels, it turned out that Jingnian took a hundred taels of silver out, and went to Mingyue Town early this morning, and he wanted to squander it, but he didn't want to be caught by Wang Shi as soon as he came.

The vegetable head Jingxin monk in charge of the vegetable field said: "No wonder Jingnian ran to my house last night to borrow a hoe, it turned out to be doing this business, and we were embarrassed." ”

Wang Shi opened the baggage, checked it and got only 1,200 taels, and thought in his heart: "The number is not bad, the 100 taels are in Widow Zhao's house." ”

Wang Shi handed over five hundred taels of silver to the abbot, bowed down and said, "These five hundred taels of silver are the right to pay for the Bodhisattva's sesame oil in the palace." ”

The abbot accepted it and handed it to the secretary and monk into the warehouse, and asked with one palm: "Amitabha!

Wang Shi bowed to the abbot and tied the burden to Ma'anshan, led the horse out of the temple gate, rode the horse in front of him to rush back, walked back to the widow Zhao's shop, opened the door and entered the house to see when the candle was only half burned, and it was blown out in the future, and put down the pure thought, and put the widow Zhao away, took out fifty taels of silver from the burden and handed it to her and instructed: "Take this silver to do your part in business, don't do these shady things." He turned to Jing Nian and said, "Now you can't go back to the temple." I will give you the one hundred taels of silver you take, start a good family, and live in peace!" Jing Nian knelt down and kowtowed, and thanked him: "The little monk knows his guilt, thank the donor for not killing." Wang Shi walked up to Jing Nian and suddenly pulled out a sharp knife, and cut off his ears with uncut tendons. Jing Nian fell to the ground in pain and rolled in his mouth, shouting, "What are you doing?" ”

Wang Shi said: "Your ears can't grow back, if you don't cut off a hair, it will suppurate, and you will die at that time." I'm here for your own good, and I'm teaching you a lesson. After speaking, he took out some golden medicine from his arms and put it on for him. After the bandaging stopped, he got up and went out and rode his horse all the way.

On the road walked for five or seven days, gossip Huti only said the right thing, this day to a fork in the road, the left hand side is the official road, all the way to the west fifty miles is the Yellow River ferry, after the ferry to the west more than 100 miles is Tokyo Bianliang. And on the right hand side of an ancient road to go to thirty miles, but through the Silver Mountain, from the Silver Mountain to the west fifty miles, there is also a ferry to cross the Yellow River, and then travel two hundred miles to Bianliang, Wang Shi thought in his heart: I am not in a hurry to rush this journey, I have heard the beautiful scenery of the Silver Mountain for a long time. In addition to the name auspicious, a good fortune, then go to the silver mountain to go around, it is not in vain to come here to go this experience!. Then ride your horse along the ancient road on the right.

Sure enough, this silver mountain has a good view, but see: green mountains and jade daisies, and the smoke and haze lock the sky. Dead vines climb strange trees, and strange rocks lie on the ridges. I can't see countless scenery, and I walked up the mountain step by step. In the afternoon, there was no banker. After a day of walking, people were sleepy and tired, and there was no place to beg. Walking a few steps but heard the sound of the water in front of him, his heart was secretly happy, the stomach was hungry and thirsty, thinking that the sound of the flowing water must be a mountain spring in front of him, just drink a few sips to quench his thirst, the horse is also tired, the horse will go to the mountain spring to drink water.

Went forward for more than ten zhang, turned the ridge, and saw a stream in the ravine in front of him galloping down, like Bai Lian hanging upside down on the cliff, got off the horse, went to the stream to hold some water to drink, the entrance was sweet, better than elixir. He praised it: "It's really good water!"

He took the two horses to the side of the stream and drank to his heart's content, rested a little, saw that the sun was about to reach the top of the mountain, and hurried to the road, jumped on the back of the horse and urged the horse forward, and after five or seven miles, suddenly a big man jumped out of the woods, and saw how the big man was born: his head was as big as a sieve, his waist was as thick as a basket, his body was seven feet long, he had a bun on his head, he was wearing a green cloth shirt, and he had a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet. He took a wooden stick in his right hand, jumped in the middle of the road and shouted: "This mountain is opened by me, this tree is planted by me, if you want to live from here, leave it to buy road wealth!"

Wang Shi was walking and suddenly saw such a reckless man jumping out, and after listening to him, he couldn't help laughing on horseback: "Are you going to rob?"

The reckless man put the stick in his hand in front of him: "Exactly, leave the silver horse and spare your life." Otherwise, the stick in my hand will be unkind to you. ”

Wang Shi turned over from his horse and tied the reins of his horse to a tree by the roadside: "You man, you know how to brag." Dead cows can blow you into the sky. ”

The reckless man asked in surprise, "What did I brag about?"

Wang Shi fastened the reins, turned around and said: "The trees on the mountains on both sides are a hundred years old, you just said that this tree was planted by you, and when this tree grows, you have not been born yet." Besides, I've only heard that Pangu opened the world, when will it be your turn to open the mountain?

The reckless man was speechless when Wang Shi asked, Wang Shi stood aside, smiled secretly in his heart, and continued: "Hey! Why did you two meet too late, if you meet sooner, I'll bring you a knife to give you. ”

The reckless man was stunned for a while, and then came back to his senses and said: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm here to rob, and when you say this, I forgot all about business." After speaking, he picked up the stick in his hand and came to hit Wang Shi, Wang Shi looked at the reckless man's life, not like a long-accustomed bandit. In his heart, he thought about subduing him first, asking for clarity and then doing it. Seeing the reckless man's wooden stick splitting his head, he was supposed to roll forward on the spot, and then made a move to catch the moon in the sea, and then thought that if this was the case, this person would be wasted, and then took a right step to the side to avoid it. At this time, Wang Shi had already flashed behind the mangman, then grabbed the back of the neck collar with his left hand, grabbed the back belt with his right hand, kicked his left foot into the knee socket of the mangman's left foot, pulled his neck back with his left hand, and pressed his right hand against his waist. I wanted to turn around and was pressed against my waist and eyes, my body couldn't move, my hands were open and I didn't know what to do, and I shouted: "You let go of me!

Wang Shi laughed: "Are you convinced!"

The reckless man said: "I don't accept it! I don't accept it!"

Wang Shi said: "How do you want to serve!"

"Unless you really fight with me, I will accept it if you knock me to the ground!"

Wang Shi said with a smile: "Didn't you really beat me just now! You used a stick to hack me, and I couldn't move when I held it down, so why didn't you accept it!"

"You're doing a trick! No!

Wang Shi said: "Phew, who made the yin trick, this is a technique in the bone removal technique, you don't understand it yourself and complain about others making the yin trick." If I really use other skills to fight you, I will disable you at least and lose your life at worst. You don't understand a piece of kindness, and you complain that I am using a trick. really responds to the old saying: The dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the good heart. ”

The reckless man said: "Just now I said that I was bragging, but now I found out that you can brag better than me." ”

"I brag, you say I brag, what do I brag. Wang Shi asked in surprise

"You said that if you use other kung fu, you will cripple me at least and kill me at worst, this is not bragging, one of my arms is thicker than your waist. I'm afraid you shouldn't tickle that little fist hit me!"

Wang Shi laughed when he heard this, pointed to a pine tree the size of a bucket on the side of the road and said, "Can your skin and flesh be harder than this tree?" ”

The reckless man was puzzled when he heard it, and he didn't answer in confusion, Wang Shi let go of the reckless man, walked to the tree, raised his right palm to shake the dantian qi, poured his palm into the palm of his hand, and made great efforts to hit the trunk, only to see that the palm of his hand was deeply embedded in the trunk four or five inches deep, leaving a deep palm print on the trunk. When the reckless man saw it, he opened his mouth wide in surprise and couldn't speak. Wang Shi turned back to the reckless man and said, "Do you see it?"

The reckless man fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and profuse himself in his mouth.

Wang Shi said, "Get up and speak," and the two sat down on the stones by the roadside, and Wang Shi asked, "What's your name?"

Mang Han said: "The villain's surname is Song, his name is Dashan, and his family lives in the col in front of him. ”

Wang Shidao: "I think you are quite honest, not like a robber who has been used to robbing for a long time, why did you come out to rob." ”

Song Dashan's eyes suddenly moistened, and he said excitedly: "Daddy is a stonemason, some time ago he went to the mountain to pick stones, and repaired a house for the rich man Fan under the mountain. I was really forced to have no choice, so I thought of robbing on the way. After speaking, he couldn't stop wiping his tears with his hands.

Wang Shi listened, pondered on the stone for a long time, got up and said, "Go to your house, it's not early at this time, and I will stay at your house for one night tonight." ”

Song Dashan suddenly knelt down and begged: "You went to my house in a while, don't say anything about me robbing on the way, if my father and mother know, they will scold me to death." ”

Wang Shi helped Song Dashan up from the ground and comforted: "Don't worry, I won't say it." ”

The two of them walked along the ancient road for three or four miles, and saw three thatched huts in the col in front of them, and the loess wall had cracked a lot because of the age, and they could faintly see the new soil that had been filled. Two firewood doors, open, and an old woman with gray hair in front of the door, carrying a pot of sweet potatoes where to wash with water. As soon as the two of them walked to the door, Song Dashan led two horses and tied them to the tree next to the house, "Mother, I'm back." ”

The old woman was Song Dashan's mother, He's family, and when she heard her son shouting, she raised her head and saw Wang Shi standing at the door, and there were two big horses next to her. Asked suspiciously, "Childe is this." ”

Song Dashan tied the horse, walked over and replied: "Mother, this son is a passing guest, seeing that it is late at this time, I want to stay at home for a night, and I will leave tomorrow." ”

He said: "The house is narrow, Xiaoshanzi, you go and take the plank to the hall, make a bunk, and let the guests sleep on your bed for a night." I'm going to cook, and I'm going to lay the ground in a moment, and I'm going to cut some grass behind the house, and I'm going to feed the horses. Come on, Childe, please take a seat. He beckoned Wang Shi into the chair in the hall and sat down, and went to the kitchen to cook. There were a few coughs in the bedroom on the right, and then a middle-aged man asked in the room, "Xiaoshanzi, go and pour tea for the guests, don't neglect the guests." The person who spoke was Song Dashan's father, Song Stonemason, whose real name was Song Qing, and everyone called him Song Stonemason, who heard outside the house and knew that there were guests at home. I wanted to walk up and say hello, but I couldn't move my feet, so I had to do it.

After a while, Song Dashan laid the ground, went out to cut the grass, fed the grass to the horse, untied the burden from the horse's back, took it into the house and handed it to Wang Shi, Wang Shi put the burden on the head of the bed, sat in the hall for a while, felt bored and walked to the door, looked at the mountain scenery for a while, the sun gradually set down the mountain, the birds threw themselves into the forest, and the fox and rabbit returned to the hole. Just as he couldn't see the beautiful scenery of the sunset, he brought a bowl of rice, a bowl of vegetables, a bowl of hare meat, and a plate of scrambled eggs. He put it on the table in the hall, put his chopsticks on it, and said, "Xiaoshanzi, go and call the guests to dinner." ”

When Wang Shi heard this, he walked in, and Song Dashan came over and said, "Eat!"

Wang Shi bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "I'm bothered!"

Picked up the bowl and ate, ate a few bites, saw Song Dashan sitting at the door, stopped and said, "You guys come to eat too, come and eat together." ”

Song Dashan waved his hand and said, "This is specially made for you, we will wait for you to eat before eating." ”

Wang Shi was even more suspicious in his heart: "It can't be that this meal has sweat medicine in it." After thinking about it again, this family looks quite responsible, not like a person who can do these bad things", and still had the courage to eat the meal. I think this hare meat tastes good, because it should have been smoked with cypress leaves, and it tastes fragrant. Long aftertaste. After it's over, there are still some unfinished things, and I think I can eat another bowl in my heart. It's hard to talk about it. I got up and went into the bedroom.

When He saw that Wang Shi had finished eating, he came over to collect the dishes and chopsticks, and then instructed his son to go to the kitchen to scoop up the rice and eat, scooped another bowl and brought it into the bedroom at the east end, helped the Song stonemason to sit up from the bed, and handed him the bowl.

When Wang Shi heard the talk of eating outside, he was curious, "Why don't they eat with me, they want to eat alone, but what kind of good things are eaten, I'll go and take a look." Walking out of the house, I saw Song Dashan sitting at the door of the hall with a bowl and eating, and when he got closer, it turned out to be a bowl of sweet potatoes, and then walked to the kitchen to see that there was still half a bowl of sweet potatoes in the pot on the stove. He Shi was free to wait in the Song stonemason's house.

After Wang Shi saw it, he couldn't say a taste in his heart, but he felt sour in his heart. The eye sockets are a little moist. Deeply moved by the simple and kind heart of this family, from the body of the old mother and the family, faintly saw the epitome of his mother, recalled his mother's teachings, instantly warmed his heart, wet his eyes. I wipe tears with my sleeve. Song Dashan, who was sitting on a wooden bench on the side and eating sweet potatoes, asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Wang Shi said: "I was blinded by the wind just now, and a few pieces of sand flew in. ”

Song Dashan looked dazed: "There will be no wind blowing this time, I've been at the door." Why didn't I see it. ”

Wang Shi didn't answer and went back to the room alone, rested early, and when he got up at night, he heard the night birds chirping in the mountains and forests outside, and the melodious sound echoed in the valley. When he got up the next morning, He went to the kitchen early to cook a few eggs and let Song Dashan bring them in. Wang Shi ate it, came out of the house with a burden, and asked, "Why don't you eat eggs, but only give them to me?" ”

He said: "These eggs are laid by a few old hens in my family, and I am usually reluctant to eat them, so I take them to the market to exchange some money and buy some oil and salt." Our old man has been ..... since he injured his foot. He paused here and continued: "There is nothing to entertain guests at home, and it is not strange to hope that the guests are slow and slow. ”

Wang Shi stretched out his hand and took out four ingots of silver from his baggage, handed them to Song Dashan and instructed: "You take these two hundred taels of silver, take some silver to your father to get medicine and see a doctor, and use the rest as capital, buy a few acres of land, and support your parents well." ”

He grabbed his son, and the mother and son fell to their knees with a thud, turned over and bowed, and said gratefully: "Childe is really a living Bodhisattva." Saved my family's life. ”

Wang Shi helped the two of them up, hugged their fists and said goodbye, and Song Dashan's mother and son followed them all the way to the mountain pass, waving their hands and send-off with tears. I rode all the way down the mountain, walked five or six miles, and saw a village in the distance, where more than a dozen families lived, and at the east end of the village, a large mansion. It is surrounded by a pink wall and green willows. Wang Shi rode to the gate, only to see two vermilion gates covered with door nails, and a beast-faced swallowing ring on the left and right of the door. Wang Shi got down from his horse, took the burden in his hand, and tied the horse to the willow tree at the door. Just as he was about to go up to call the door, an old farmer was barefoot, gray-haired, and carried a hoe on his shoulder. ”

Wang Shi said: "I passed by here and wanted to go into this village to ask for a cup of tea!"

The old farmer said: "I can't go, this is Fan Rich's house, and there is a name for Fan Peeling." ”

Wang Shi saw what he said and asked: "How can I go, he is just a person, can he still grow three heads and six arms?" ”

The old farmer said: "Guest officer, you are a foreigner, you don't know, this Fan rich man, whose real name is Fan Tianyou, colluded with Jiangyang thieves in the early years, robbed merchants, and accumulated this private property, so he bought half of the surrounding fields and half occupied them, and was very ruthless to the tenant farmers. He also opened a village hotel at the entrance of the village, and when he saw that the guest had heavy luggage, he put sweat medicine in his wine, turned it over, dragged it to the back and killed it, and buried the body in the barren mountains and wilderness to make money. What's even more powerful is that he has thirty or fifty banker thugs on the village, all of whom are outlaws, Jiangyang thieves, and their means are high. If Childe enters this house, where will he still have his life to come out!"

Wang Shi heard the old farmer say this, and thought in his heart, he had heard Song Dashan say that this rich man Fan just refused to give Song Stonemason's medical expenses, and he wanted to teach him a small lesson, but he didn't expect this rich man Fan to be so vicious. Let's go into the village and see how he is.

Then he said to the old farmer: "Thank you for reminding me, but I am a strong temper, and the more I can't go, the more I like to go to see it." ”

The old peasant shook his head and said, "Good words are hard to persuade people who want to die!" and walked away with his hoe.

Wang Shixin said: "It's not certain who will kill the deer!"

Walked to the door, raised his hand, grabbed the knocker, knocked a few times, and the door squeaked, and the door opened. A Zhuang guest came out, dressed in green clothes, with a lancet in his waist, and asked with his hands in fists: "What is the reason why the son knocks on the door!"

Wang Shi bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "Xiao is a passing guest, when he walks to Guizhuang, he is hungry and thirsty, and he wants to ask for some wine and food, so he will stop for the time being!"

Zhuang Ke said: "You wait here, I went to the owner of the village to reply, if the owner of the village allows, the wine and food are enough." ”

Wang Shi clenched his fists and shouted: "Youlao!"

Zhuang Ke went in for a while, and came out of it to give a salute and said: "Master Fan Zhuang is invited, meet in the hall and wait for tea." ”

Wang Shi said: "There is labor! The two horses outside the door also helped to bring in and feed." ”

When the dealer heard this, he ordered an old man next to him to lead the horse to the stable to feed. Then lead the way in front of the head. The two came to the hall together, and saw a middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the hall, wearing a green gauze hat on his head and a round-necked blue cloth shirt. A pair of soap boots were worn underneath. Seeing Wang Shi and Zhuang Ke coming in, he looked at the burden in his hand again, secretly happy in his heart, bowed down and saluted, "Son, please take a seat." ”

Wang Shi bowed and hugged his fists in return, and the two sat down separately. Fan Caizhu ordered the maid to watch the tea. Wang Shi took the teacup and put it on the next few cases.

Seeing that he didn't drink tea, the rich man Fan picked up the teacup and drank a few sips: "Please ask the son's surname Gao!"

Wang Shidao: "The surname of the contemptible person is Wang, and the single name is a stone character." Passing by here today, I heard that Fan Yuanwai is kind of charity. I came to the village to ask for some wine and food to satisfy my hunger. ”

Fan Caizhu smiled: "It turned out to be Wang Gongzi, and he has a reputation!

The two exchanged a few words, and the rich man Fan ordered the wine and food to be served. Ordered the maid to put the lamp on the side. Wang Shi was not afraid that he would take sweat medicine, so he would eat it boldly, and pour wine to drink it boldly. This is why, it turned out that in Jinling Yuelai Inn, Tsing Yi would be poisoned by Ma Guren in seven steps, and was mistakenly eaten by Cao Jianren, a cloud tiger at the North Leg Gate, and later Wang Shi pushed Ma Guren to the ground and confiscated a bottle of antidote pills from him. This bottle of pill Wang Shi has always been with him, this pill is famous as Shenxian San, which can detoxify all kinds of poisons, and it is not a piece of cake for this little sweat medicine, so before eating, he took two pills in advance while people were not prepared.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Fan saw that Wang Shi drank the sweat medicine wine and did not pour, and secretly gave the maid who poured the wine a look, the maid understood, took the wine jug into the house, and came out after a while, and continued to pour the wine, it turned out that the maid went into the house to increase the amount of medicine, so that the current wine poured out is chaotic like rice soup. Wang Shi looked at it, smiled secretly in his heart, and drank it as soon as he raised his neck. Pretending to pass out, he fell to the ground. The rich man laughed and said, "Spare you boy like a ghost! Drink Lao Tzu's footwashing water!" Come in!"

Immediately, two big men in green clothes flashed out of the side room next to them. Walking over, one person raised his hand and one person grabbed his feet, skillfully carried Wang Shi to the side room, and then threw it in a firewood room. Then another man came in with a knife in his hand and said, "I am doing this for your own good, so as not to bury you in the earth for a while, and if you wake up after the strength of the medicine, it will be uncomfortable." I'll kill you first. It's a little more enjoyable, too. ”

After the man in green clothes finished speaking, he raised a knife to cut Wang Shi's neck, Wang Shi rolled in violently to avoid the knife, and the man in green clothes slashed on the ground with a knife, and before he came back to his senses, a sleeve arrow had already shot into his throat. He couldn't scream, he shook the knife in his hand and fell into the firewood and grass with a thud. Wang Shi was afraid that he would be entangled. If he makes a noise and alarms others, after all, two fists are difficult to beat with four hands, and it is difficult for a good man to fight many people. Then he was shot to death with a hidden arrow.

Wang Shi went to the ground to pick up the lancet of the man in green clothes, and then went to his throat to pull out the sleeve arrow and put it back into the machine. Then he changed his clothes with the man in green clothes and cut off his head. He made up the appearance of a man in green clothes. I opened the door and went out to look around.

At this time, the rich man Fan was opening Wang Shi's burden, and saw that it was full of fifty taels and one ingots of snowflake silver, a total of four hundred and fifty taels, and laughed happily, he was really a fat sheep. Just as I was looking, a fat man came in from outside the door, his outfit was over, his muscles were strong, and he was eight feet long. Full of beard. As soon as he entered the door, he laughed and said, "I heard that you just slaughtered a fat sheep, how much silver did you get?" "The person who spoke was the notorious Jiangyang thief on the rivers and lakes: Cheng Jincai, nicknamed: Owl,

Zhuang Ke, who led the way in at the door, said: "Not only silver, but also two jujube red horses, tied to the stable." ”

As soon as Cheng Jincai heard that there was a horse, he said loudly: "Take me to see it." ”

Zhuang Ke led Cheng Jincai to the stable and pointed and said, "Look at those two horses!"

"Hahaha! It's a good horse, a good horse. These two horses belong to me, hahaha!" Cheng Jincai happily touched the horse's head. He also instructed the black dwarf farmer who fed the horses: "Feed well with fine materials, if you lose a little fat, Lao Tzu will skin you." Hahahaha!"

Owl, Cheng Jincai laughed and returned to the main hall and asked the villager below: "Is the fat sheep buried?" ”

Zhuang Ke said: "Not yet, everyone thinks it is unlucky to bury someone early in the morning, so let Hong Gouzi go and cut off his head, put it in the firewood room, and bury it when it gets dark in the afternoon." ”

The rich man took the money from the baggage, put it in the cupboard in the house, came out and sat down in the hall, and ordered the guests to arrange wine to eat. The two bankers cleaned up the table and put the wine and food on the table again, and the owl Cheng Jincai grabbed a leg of mutton with his hand, and said while gnawing: "Lao Tzu has been idle in your village for a few days, fade out of the birds, and get a few girls for Lao Tzu, so that Lao Tzu can also be happy." Hahaha!"

A white-faced and sharp-mouthed Zhuang Ke next to him said: "Yesterday I went to the tavern at the entrance of the village and turned around at the west end of the village. Seeing Jiang Baifu's daughter washing vegetables at the door, it was called a water spirit. Haha!"

Another black-faced Zhuang Ke said: "That girl seems to be called Jiang Chunyan, she should be seventeen or eighteen years old this year, she is called a water spirit, and she is so tender that she can squeeze out the water with her hand." Hahaha" said and gestured with his hand to make a pinch, and his face smiled.

Cheng Jincai said while gnawing on the leg of mutton: "When Lao Tzu is full of food and drink, let's have a few brothers in the evening, get that little girl back, and have fun and harmony." Hahaha!come!come!, eat, eat!"

Fan Caizhu, who was sitting on the side, drank a glass of wine and said, "You can't move this Jiang Chunyan!"

Everyone asked, "Why can't you move?"

Fan Caizhu took a chopstick of beef and said while eating: "This woman, I have watched her grow up since I was a child, and now I am thinking about marrying her to make a four-room house." You can't fight with me!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the owl Cheng Jincai said loudly: "Let me tell you Fan Tianyou, don't say that you haven't married the wife who has not entered the door, but the few wives in the room behind you, the wife who took the door, the one who has never slept with Lao Tzu." Hahahaha. Don't even think about taking off that green hat on your head, hahaha!"

When the rich man heard this, he just lowered his head and drank the wine. He stopped talking. Cheng Jincai picked up the cup and persuaded Fan Caizhu to have two cups, and said: "Woman, what kind of do you want, just grab it back, what is it worth, why are you tired of playing and sell it in the kiln for fresh ones." Come on, come on, drink and drink."
