It is said that Wang Shi rode down from the mountain, and the fire in Wuzizhuang has not been extinguished. The people in the surrounding villages saw that Fan Caizhu's village was on fire, and they all gathered around the door to see, and they were still afraid at first, but when they looked in at the door, they saw that there was no sound in the courtyard, and a few bold ones walked in first, and the rest of the villagers also followed up to see, everyone saw Fan Caizhu, cut off his hands and feet and threw them aside, his eyes were blind, his mouth was open, and only his head could move his whole body, and Cheng Jincai next to him was paralyzed and fell to the ground. And I saw corpses all over the courtyard. The villagers are usually bullied ruthlessly, but today these wicked people have received retribution, and they all applauded.

Everyone turned to the back hall and snatched the box of gold beads that Wang Shi had not taken away, Baoyu, and then everyone came to move the table and carry the stools, making a lot of noise. In the backyard, the three wives and girls of the rich man Fan listened to the commotion outside, and when they came out to see, the villagers had already rushed to the door of the backyard, and they couldn't help it, so they only cared about entering the house to move things. The three women and the maid only brought a few clothes with them, and went out of the house and went back to their parents' houses.

After the villagers coaxed and robbed, it was already dawn at this time, and several old people in the village carried hoes and shovels, dug a pit in the garden, and buried the dead villagers. Cheng Jincai and Fan Caizhu went on a hunger strike and starved for seven days before dying. Pity and do all the bad things, but in the end starve to death. Exactly: the tyrannical one bullied people, and used the murder weapon willfully.

never put the good in his heart, and the evil retribution looks at these two people today.

Gossip Hugh mentioned the book back to the main story, Wang Shi rode down the mountain, all the way out of the village, stayed in Lu Xiaoxing for the night, walked for two days, came to the Yellow River crossing, raised his eyes, couldn't help but be shocked by the rushing and roaring river in front of him, and felt that Huai Yin said:

The water of the Yellow River came up from the sky and rushed to the sea and never returned.

I crossed the Yellow River by ferry, traveled for another five or six days, and entered Bianliang City. Sure enough, it is worthy of being the imperial capital, which is lively and densely populated. Six streets and three markets, it is really a lively place, the city turned around, saw that there is an inn outside the Guozi prison, five shops, and a signboard is hung at the door: welcome restaurant, Wang Shi saw that this store was magnificent and tidy, so he thought about staying in the store, jumped off the horse, untied the burden from the horse, put it in his hand, and led the horse to the door of the hotel. The shopkeeper came up to take the reins and asked, "The guest officer is sharp, or is he staying in the hotel?"

"If you want to stay in the hotel, arrange a room. Get some good wine and food, just in the future, you don't have to ask. The two horses were pulled to the back trough in one go, so that they could be fed with fine feed. When you leave, you will be paid back as soon as you go. Wang Shi said as he walked towards the store.

The shopkeeper handed over the horse to a small servant, and told him to take him to the stable behind him, add fine materials and feed him, and hurriedly followed Wang Shi into the store, shouting to the kitchen: "Just come up with good wine and good food." ”

The shopkeeper led Wang Shi into the private room on the side and hurriedly went to the kitchen to serve food. In a while, there will be a large table of wine and food, which will really fly in the sky, swim in the water, and run on the ground, because there are all kinds of them. A large table was set up. Wang Shi took care of himself, eating and drinking alone. I was a little full after eating, and when I looked at the dishes on the table, there were still two-thirds of the dishes, and I had not moved my chopsticks yet. complained in his heart: It was all willful when he came in just now, telling him to only care about serving food, and now there are so many left, but it is a waste. Standing up from the private room and walking to the hall, he shouted, "Shop!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "What do you want from the guest officer?"

"Is the room I want arranged?"

The shopkeeper said: "I have already prepared it for you." However, the shop is small and profitable, but it is the table of wine and rice just now, can there be a labor officer who pays the bill first?"

Wang Shi laughed, took out a gold ingot of fifty taels from his arms, and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Is this gold enough for that table of meals?"

The shopkeeper, who had seen such a big ingot of gold there, his excited eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took the gold with a smile on his face, and said in his mouth: "Master, such a big ingot of gold, our store can't make up for it, so let's wait for the guest officer to settle the account in the future." ”

Wang Shi laughed and said: "It doesn't matter if you can't make up for it, how much of the rest is stored on the counter." Take me to the room!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly turned around and handed over the gold to the shopkeeper, leading the way in front, and the two went upstairs one after the other, and the shopkeeper took Wang Shi to the penultimate room in the east to stay.

It is said that the shopkeeper of this shop, surnamed Zhu Dan, has a building character, and his father originally named him Zhu Jian, but later felt that this sword was a murder weapon, and rewrote the sword character into a building character. Married to a Hun family, who was originally the second daughter of a foreign family in the city. This Zhu Jian relied on his wife's wealth to open this restaurant outside the gate of Guozi Prison, the two got married for less than two years, and his wife Ye gave birth to a big fat boy, and his grandfather named him Hongtao, originally expected this son to grow up to be able to develop his ambitions and do his next career, that knows that this child has not read poetry since he was a child, and colluded with some prodigal children, drinking and playing money all day long, and then he was older, and he stayed in the kiln with a powder, exactly:

Eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, smoking, cheating, cheating, stealing.

The five poisons are all complete, and the fireworks and willows sleep in the alley.

On this day, the shopkeeper went to deliver food to Wang Shi, using a large tray containing a roast chicken, a plate of beef, half a roast leg of mutton, a pot of old wine, and some vegetarian dishes, and just walked to the staircase. This Zhu Hongtao walked into the store in a hurry, and saw Xiao Er going upstairs with such a sumptuous wine and food, so he asked: "Who are you sending this for, the food is so rich, be careful that people will not have the money to settle the bill at that time!"

The shopkeeper replied: "This guest officer has silver! As soon as he came, he threw a large ingot of gold on the counter. When he entered the door, he brought two tall horses, and the baggage in his hand was very heavy, and it was estimated that the burden was full of gold and silver. Dian Xiaoer said, and went upstairs with the wine and food.

It was the speaker who was unintentional, and the listener was intentional, Zhu Hongtao listened to the words of the shopkeeper, hurriedly came to the counter, and said to his father Zhu Jian: "Hey, this is a fat sheep, why don't they do him and seek his property." Gu Xiaoer said this just now, why can't they make so much money even if they open a restaurant for a few lifetimes. ”

When Zhu Jian heard his son's words, his heart was also a little lively, and he asked: "If it is a whole life, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, the capital of the Jingshi Emperor, once the matter is defeated, I am afraid that my life will not be saved." You have to think of a perfect plan. ”

Seeing his father talking like this, Zhu Hongtao knew that he also had intentions, so he smiled and said, "Why don't you recruit him to be a son-in-law and make money to get home." ”

When Zhu Jian heard this, his face sank: "It's a pity that your uncompetitive old lady didn't give birth to a sister for you, how can you recruit a son-in-law!"

Zhu Hongtao said: "I met a fan head in Piaoxiang Courtyard, this woman is very good-looking, we called her, pretended to be your daughter, and entered his room while delivering food at night, not afraid that he would not go to the road." If there is any hook between the two of them. So we planted him to rape the woman of a good family, and when the time came to hold him in our hands, we rushed into the house and took his belongings, so that he knew that he was wrong, and did not dare to speak out, but could only consider himself unlucky. But if he holds it, he will pretend to take him as a son-in-law, trick him into his house, get drunk with wine, and then put him at his mercy. ”

Zhu Jian nodded and smiled when he heard this: "You kid, your mind is still smart, but you don't follow the right path." The father and son were decided, and this Zhu Hongtao walked out of the store and went to Piaoxiang Courtyard all the way. went upstairs to Lin Chunli's room, the two of them did some dirty things, and after finishing their work, they got up and washed up, Zhu Hongtao said: "I came to you today to have a rich business, let you be a roadside." ”

Lin Chunli lay on the bed and said coquettishly: "Yo, what other business do you want me to make a fortune into." What a joke. ”

Zhu Hongtao, smiled and walked to the bed, hugged him, and whispered in his ear what happened, Lin Chunli listened to it and said coquettishly: "After the matter is completed, how can you thank me?"

Zhu Hongtao smiled and said, "After the matter is completed, I will redeem you and take you back to be your wife." ”

The two giggled and tossed on the bed, Zhu Hongtao looked at the sky outside, and when he was about to hand over the card, he urged Lin Chunli to get up, Zhu Hongtao went to call a sedan chair, carried Lin Chunli to the restaurant, and explained it, Lin Chunli put on a dress, pink flowers, powdered face and no makeup, holding a large tray of wine and food, went straight to Wang Shi's room, walked to the door, and knocked on the door a few times, at this time Wang Shi just came back from wandering outside, sat in front of the bed and drank tea, and heard a knock on the door outside, "Who?"

Outside the door, Lin Chunli, Yingsheng Yanyu, replied in a coquettish voice: "Guest officer, the slave family has brought you a meal." Open the door. ”

Wang Shi wondered very much, isn't it usually the second shopkeeper who comes to deliver it, why is it a woman who comes to deliver food today, but it is strange. He replied: "Aren't you usually the second brother who usually delivers food? Who are you? Why do you want to deliver food?"

Lin Chunli said: "Childe, the store is busy today, the second brother is greeting guests below, and he can't leave, for fear of snubbing the son, so he has to send it to the slave family." ”

Wang Shi asked: "Then who is the young lady? Men and women can't accept it, you just leave the food outside the door, and I'll open the door to get it." ”

Lin Chunli said with a smile: "This shop was opened by my father, I often come over to help, the son doesn't have to care about these vulgar etiquette, open the door quickly, the slave's hands are sore." ”

When Wang Shi saw her say this, he got up and opened the door, Lin Chunli came in with a tray, put it on the table on the left, scratched her head, and threw her eyes.

Wang Shi looked at Lin Chunli at first glance, she was really good-looking, with dark clouds, white skin and beautiful appearance, red lips and bright teeth, graceful posture, and graceful demeanor. It's heart-pounding. A flush flew over his face. When Lin Chunli came into the door, there was a burst of incense on her body, which penetrated her heart and spleen. These situations were all looked at by Lin Chunli. Put the tray on the table and turn around to close the door.

Although Wang Shi was moved by her hook, after all, he had been taught by Teacher Zhao Dundun since he was a child, and he was righteous in his bones, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the door frame: "Since the girl has already brought the meal, please go out immediately, the lonely man and the widow are in the same room, so that people can see the indecent appearance." ”

Lin Chunli saw that Wang Shi's face was red and his heart was beating, but his conduct was not disorderly, but he was a righteous gentleman, so she couldn't help but be in awe, bowed slightly and said a thousand blessings, and when she came out of the house, Wang Shi hurriedly closed the door. Lin Chunli walked downstairs with a heavy heart, Zhu Hongtao hurriedly caught up, pulled into the hut next to him and asked, "How is it, did that kid do anything to you?" ”

Lin Chunli was deceived by a kidnapper to sell into Piaoxiang Courtyard since she was a child, and at the age of fifteen, she was forced by the bustard to pick up customers, and all she saw all day long were some prodigal children. Today, when I met a righteous gentleman like Wang Shi for the first time, when I saw Zhu Hongtao at this time, I compared him with Wang Shi in my heart, and I immediately became 10,000 disgusted. He didn't show it on his face, but smiled slightly: "I didn't move my hands and feet, but when he looked at me, his face was red and his heart was beating." ”

Zhu Hongtao listened thoughtfully: "It seems that you still have to go to his room." After delivering a few meals, it is estimated that this kid will not be able to stand it. ”

For three days in a row, Lin Chunli went to deliver food to Wang Shi every night, and Wang Shi was always polite and unmessy. Lin Chunli became more and more respectful, and her heart secretly agreed.

After another three days, this morning Wang Shi out of the inn, wandering on the street, unconsciously arrived at the door of the Great Xiangguo Temple, walked to the door of the temple, knew the guest monk came to receive, all the way into the temple to watch and play, Wang Shi donated two hundred taels of silver incense money, at noon in the temple had a meal, until the night to go back to the inn, just into the door, Lin Chunli sent food in. Put some superficial words to provoke Wang Shi. Wang Shi is right. Lin Chunli came downstairs, and Zhu Hongtao asked, "I asked you to tease him with some words, isn't there a little effect?" ”

Lin Chunli shook her head and said: "He listened to me say some buoyant words, and he didn't move his thoughts at all, and his words were experienced. ”

Zhu Hongtao turned to Zhu Jian and said, "It seems that you can only let you, a veteran, go out in person." ”

Zhu Jian understood, came out of the counter, walked to the door of Wang Shifang, raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times. Wang Shi was eating, when he heard a knock on the door outside, put the chopstick, and asked, "Who!"

Zhu Jiandao: "I am the shopkeeper in the store, Zhu Jian." ”

Wang Shi got up and opened the door, bowed down and clasped his fists to salute: "It turned out to be the shopkeeper, I don't know what to see." ”

Zhu Jian hugged his fists and smiled in return: "Childe has lived in a small shop for so many days, and the hospitality is slow, and there are many offends, and I hope Childe will forgive me." ”

Wang Shi smiled: "Where do you start with this, Xiaosheng comes to your store, three meals a day are comprehensive, the second brother is diligent and waiting, and the bed is soft and tidy." The windows are bright and clean. There's no such thing as simplification. ”

Zhu Jian said with a smile: "Gongzi Miao praise, it really makes the old man embarrassed." Hahaha!"

Wang Shi said: "Please sit inside." ”

Wang Shi thought to himself, it was impossible for the owner of this shop to come to ask him if he was eating well, there must be other things, so he let him into the house. The two sat down separately. After a few more greetings, Zhu Jian said: "Don't dare to ask the son who is the Fang family, why do you come to Bianjing?"

Wang Shi smiled secretly in his heart: I live in the hotel, you collect money, it doesn't matter where I am from, what do I do here. He smiled slightly: "Hehe, Xiaosheng is a member of the Shuzhong clan, doing some small business." Passing through your land, thinking about the prosperous places of the imperial capital at the feet of the Son of Heaven, visiting for a few days, there is nothing else, and you will have to return home after a few days of delay. ”

Zhu Jiandao: "What do you call your son." The two exchanged names, and Zhu Jian then asked, "I wonder if the son has ever been married?"

Wang Shidao: "My parents died early, my family was shabby, and I never got married!"

Zhu Jian said with a smile: "Childe is joking, look at Childe's generous shots, how can you say that the family is shabby." As the saying goes, men should get married, women should get married, and sons are now crowned. It is time to marry a wife and have children, in order to extend the ritual of the clan's sacrifice. ”

Wang Shidao: "Xiaosheng is adrift, like duckweed, and he doesn't dare to talk about starting a family. ”

"The son is a talent, the old man has a daughter, and he wants to recruit the son to make an east bed, how about it?" Zhu Jian said while observing Wang Shi's expression.

Wang Shi heard Zhu Jian's words, and was suspicious in his heart: "The truth that a father told his daughter about matchmaking is strange." As the saying goes: Nothing to offer diligence is not treacherous, and the shopkeeper of this store must see that I have a heavy burden, and I carry it with me every day, and I will not leave the left and right. Knowing that there was a lot of wealth in it, he had some idea to seek me. But you don't have to use your own daughter as a foothold. Wang Shi was thinking about it in his heart, Zhu Jian was observing the words and expressions on the side, seeing that Wang Shi did not speak, he did not say anything, and then said: "The little girl often comes to bring food to the son, and the two of you have also seen it, originally, there is no father to tell the daughter the truth of matchmaking, but just because the little girl fell in love with the son at first sight, she pity the parents of the world, and for the lifelong happiness of the daughter, she has to propose marriage with this face." After that, he sighed again.

Wang Shi came back to his senses at this time, clasped his fists and saluted: "Miss Domeng is wrong to love, so that the little student is terrified and has no land, and dares to disobey his fate." After speaking, he got up and bowed down and thanked: "Father-in-law is above, please accept the son-in-law!"

Zhu Jian hurriedly got up and said, "Son-in-law, please get up quickly!"

I was secretly happy in my heart, and I thought I had a plan, "Even so, the virtuous son-in-law is wandering outside, and there is no other relatives around, so please write a Geng post, and I will find a fortune teller to get married." ”

Wang Shi said: "Even if I say this, I went to the city to find a house in the past few days and bought it, so that I can settle down." ”

Zhu Jian hurriedly said: "The virtuous son-in-law doesn't need to buy another house, there are still a few empty houses under my family, clean them up, and I can live in them." ”

Wang Shi said: "That's fine, the son-in-law has to do some filial piety in front of his father-in-law's knees sooner or later." ”

The two exchanged a few words of gossip, Zhu Jian got up to say goodbye, and as soon as he got downstairs, he was pulled into the hut by his son and asked, "How is it?"

Zhu Jiandao: "It's done, this kid believes it, tomorrow he will only say that he will be invited to eat and drink, trick him into the house, get him drunk, take off his clothes and pants, put him in the room, let Lin Chunli lie next to him, and on the second day, he will be beaten in and tied up together, and he will be drunk and promiscuous, and he will be guilty of raping ** girl." After the two finished speaking, they laughed, and Lin Chunli on the side was full of disdain, and her face sneered slightly. Just silent.

It is said that after Wang Shi sent Zhu Jian out of the room, he sat alone in the room, the more he thought about it, the more incredible he felt, how could he be recruited as a son-in-law by someone to live in a good store, and he also went out of the house to get married, and came to the matchmaker in person. The ancients said: "You can't take advantage of the cheap, you can't enjoy the rich, and you can't use the power." There is such a good thing in the world, and he is not better than Pan An, so he is like a bully. How can I get a Zhuo Wenjun to come out and promise to marry me. When she was Wen Jun, I couldn't be like Sima Xiang. ”

The more I thought about it, the more I was puzzled, I got up early the next morning, walked to the street, and thought about it: "Only in the surrounding neighborhoods there must be people who know the details of the shopkeeper of the welcome hotel," turned to the back street, saw a tea shop, and thought that the place of the tea shop was the place where people gossip and Taoism, and if you want to inquire about things, you have to go here. Wang Shi walked into the store in a few steps and sat down at a table at the door.

"Yo! The guest officer drinks tea, eats morning tea, and has some steamed buns. A woman in her fifties came over and asked

Wang Shi arched his hands and clenched his fists: "So good, Xiaosheng has just come to your land, there are no other relatives, the eldest mother is so kind, but how about recognizing a godmother." ”

This mother-in-law, when she first heard it, only said that Wang Shi was teasing her, her face was a little unsightly, she thought about it in her heart, and she was angry and wealthy, and she was about to go to the back kitchen to serve the buns, Wang Shi took out fifty taels of silver from his arms, handed it to the mother-in-law and said: "This bit of silver is all a meeting gift, and I hope that the godmother will accept it with a smile." ”

Where has the mother-in-law seen so much silver, and suddenly her heart blossomed, and she hurriedly took it, and shouted in her mouth: "What kind of good fortune did the old woman cultivate in her previous life, and she got such a good job today." ”

After collecting the money, he went to the kitchen to bring out steamed buns and dried fruits, set up a big table, and entertained them to their heart's content, and the two exchanged names and surnames. It turned out that the mother-in-law's maiden name was Wang, her husband died early, and a son was on an errand in the yamen. Called a dog.

Wang Shi had breakfast in the tea shop, the mother-in-law cleaned up the cups and plates, the two sat and gossiped for a while, and Wang Shi asked, "I don't know if the godmother knows the shopkeeper Zhu of the Welcome Hotel?"

The mother-in-law said: "How can you not recognize it, this shopkeeper Zhu relied on his wife's money to open a restaurant outside the gate of Guozijian." ”

Wang Shi said: "Godmother, have you ever heard of his daughter's character." ”

When the mother-in-law heard Wang Shi ask, she laughed: "This Zhu Jian, where did he get a daughter, his wife gave birth to a son, and then never laid an egg." ”

Wang Shi was surprised: "Could it be that he was born to his concubine or a foreign house?"

The old woman shook her head when she heard this: "That's even more impossible, Zhu Jian's wife Ye's family, a well-known tigress, and he relied on the money of Ye's mother's family to open this hotel, not to mention taking concubines and raising foreign houses, even fireworks and willow alleys didn't dare to step into half a step." ”

Wang Shidao: "Last night I was in the room, and the shopkeeper Zhu came to match, and he wanted to marry his daughter to me. When I heard my godmother say this, there must be a deception in this!"

The mother-in-law laughed and said: "This must be Zhu Jian's son, Zhu Hongtao's little bastard, seeing your heavy burden, came up with an idea, let you go to his house, get you drunk, and then find a fan to rape you." When the time comes, you will naturally pay the money obediently. ”

Wang Shi clenched his fists and thanked him: "It turned out to be so vicious. But how good. ”

The mother-in-law said: "I have a vacant house at home, since you and I recognize the mother and son, it is not good to move to live at home." ”

Wang Shi said: "It's so inconvenient. ”

At noon, Wang Shi came out of the teahouse and returned to the store, as soon as he entered the house, Zhu Jian came to ask for Geng post, Wang Shi wrote a fake one, handed it to him, Zhu Jian said: "Tonight, the family will set up a banquet, and invite the virtuous son-in-law to sit in the house." ”

Wang Shi was full of promises, and thought about how to care about the night. After lunch, Zhu Jian took his son Zhu Hongtao to Wang Shi's room to invite each other, the three of them met, and after giving each other a salute, Zhu Jian said: "This is the old man, the dog Hongtao." ”

Wang Shi went up again to salute. Then the three of them went to Zhu's house together. led to sit in the hall, and Zhu Jianming ordered the maid to put on the wine and food. Lin Chunli sat at the bottom, Wang Shi was in the center, Zhu Hongtao sat at the opposite table, and Zhu Jian was at the top.

As soon as Wang Shi entered Zhu's house, he was worried that he would be drenched in sweat medicine, so he took two antidote pills in advance while people were unprepared. At this time, the wine and food were served on the table, and there was no restraint, eating and drinking boldly, and everyone persuaded five or seven glasses of wine, but Wang Shi did not see a little drunkenness. Zhu Hongtao got up and picked up the wine glass to persuade: "Brother Wang first came to the house today, this glass of wine is the younger brother's respect for you, and you have to drink whatever you say." "Just come and persuade you to drink. hinted at Lin Chunli, who was sitting next.

Wang Shi made a decision: "Since my brother wants to give me this glass of wine, I have no way to refuse, but if you just called me Brother Wang, you should be fined three glasses of wine, you drink this glass of wine first, and then we will talk." ”

Zhu Hongtao asked: "How to weigh Brother Wang and punish him with three glasses of wine, you can make it clear." ”

Wang Shidao: "Since I have married your sister to Qin and Jin, you should call me brother-in-law, or call me brother-in-law, it's okay, but you call me Brother Wang, this shouldn't be, it seems so out-of-the-box, shouldn't you be fined three glasses of wine." ”

When Zhu Hongtao heard this, he had to bite the bullet and say: "Okay, good! My brother-in-law is right when he says this, and I will punish myself with three cups first." After speaking, he drank three cups in a row.

Wang Shi smiled secretly in his heart while eating vegetables. Zhu Hongtao drank three glasses of wine, then filled the cup with wine, stood up, raised his glass and said, "Brother-in-law, I was punished for drinking just now, I toast you now, you should eat it." ”

Wang Shi said: "Why do you want to toast my glass of wine, you can explain the reason, I don't drink confused wine." ”

Zhu Hongtao burped: "For you to become the son-in-law of our Zhu family"

Wang Shi said: "This reason is also passable, I drank this glass of wine." ”

Then Zhu Hongtao picked up the wine glass again to persuade, and Wang Shi said: "What does this wine say?"

Zhu Hongtao said: "This cup of wine wishes you and my sister the love of husband and wife!"

Wang Shi also drank the wine: "I can also drink this cup of wine." ”

As soon as Wang Shi finished drinking, Zhu Hongtao filled the wine again, picked up the wine glass and said, "This cup of wine wishes you and your wife an early birth to a noble son." ”

Wang Shi took the wine glass and tilted his neck and drank it, "In this way, this glass of wine can also be drunk." ”

Zhu Hongtao poured the wine again, raised his glass and persuaded: "Let's have another glass." ”

Wang Shi said while eating: "What do you have to say about this glass of wine!"

Zhu Hongtao held the wine glass and said, "This cup wishes you two husband and wife good health." ”

Wang Shi took the wine glass and drank it: "In this way, I can still drink it."

Zhu Hongtao picked up the wine glass again to persuade, "This glass of wine wishes you good luck and prosperity." ”

Wang Shi took it and drank it, but called the maid to come, filled the wine, picked up the wine glass and said: "You toasted me a few glasses in a row just now, and I, as a brother-in-law, toast you with a glass of wine, this cup of wine, I wish my brother a good marriage as soon as possible." ”

Zhu Hongtao had to take it and drink it.

The maid next to him came over to fill the wine, and Wang Shi picked up the wine glass: "I wish you a successful career and a family as soon as possible, brother-in-law." ”

Zhu Hongtao had to take it and drink it, and Wang Shi picked up the wine glass again and persuaded: "This cup of wine wishes my brother good health and longevity." Zhu Hongtao had to take it and drink it, Wang Shi turned around and raised his wine glass, and persuaded Zhu Jian to drink four or five glasses of wine.

Lin Chunli stood up and raised her glass: "Xianggong, today it is the first time you and I have been drinking at the same table, and I will toast you." Wang Shi saw that the three of them took turns to pour wine. Although I didn't want to drink it, I didn't refuse and took the wine and drank it.

Wang Shi got up and picked up the wine glass and said to Lin Chunli: "The lady gave me a glass just now, and I also gave the lady a glass, although you and I have not yet visited the church, that is, the parents have already decided on this family matter, which can be regarded as a husband and wife." ”

Lin Chunli took the wine and drank it all, and the three of them took turns to persuade him, but Wang Shi could only push the wine. After drinking a few more glasses, he pretended to be drunk, Zhu Jian's father and son made a look, and Zhu Hongtao came to pick up the burden on Wang Shi's back. Wang Shi just grabbed it with his hands. Zhu Hongtao pulled it twice and didn't pull it open. Afraid of waking him up, he ordered the two doormen to come and carry him into the wing room and put him on the bed, Lin Chunli came in from the door, closed the door, and walked to the bed to untie Wang Shi's clothes. Wang Shi rolled over and got up. Push it away. Lin Chunli was about to scream, Wang Shi hurriedly covered her mouth, grabbed the sweat towel next to the pillow, and stuffed it into her mouth. ripped off the mosquito net on the bed and tied Lin Chunli up strongly. Tie it to the foot of the bed.

Walked to the door with his finger on the window paper, poked a small hole, peeked at the outside and saw that there was no movement, opened the door, searched around the yard, walked to the window of the west wing, heard the room, snoring like thunder, lightly touched in, the oil lamp in front of the bed was still bright, when looking carefully, the person lying on the bed was Zhu Hongtao, at this time Zhu Hongtao was also drunk, fell on the bed and only fell asleep, Wang Shi walked to the bed, took out the sweat medicine from his arms, poured some tea bowls on the table, poured half a bowl of tea soup from the teapot, dissolved the powder, walked to the bed, pinched Zhu Hongtao's mouth, and poured it down in the future。

Then he turned around and came out of the house, leaving the door still closed. I turned around the yard twice, saw the backyard, the wall was not very high, found a bench, put it below, stood on the bench and climbed over the wall, went out of the Zhu house, went back to the store, slept in the room for a while, looked at the white outside the window, hurriedly got up, went to the hall, and instructed the shopkeeper: "You go and settle the account, I need to go out immediately if I have an emergency." ”

The shopkeeper looked at the account and said with a smile: "There are still more than 20 taels of gold left in the account of the guest officer." At this time, the shopkeeper is not in the store, and there is no way to make up for your money. ”

Wang Shi said: "That is the case, all the remaining gold will be rewarded to you, you go and lead the horse out, and I will go." ”

The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and after getting twenty taels of gold, he happily ran to the back and led the horse. Wang Shi took the reins, turned over his horse, urged the horse out of the city, drove all the way forward for fifty miles, saw a market town in front of him in the distance, ate lunch, drank the horse, and fed some forage. After changing the back of this horse walked fifty miles, the sun fell, the sun went down, there was a village courtyard in the depths of a pine forest in front, came forward to knock on the door, the village guest introduced it to see the owner, and stayed on the village for one night.

It is said that Zhu Jian woke up in the morning, remembered Wang Shi's matter, hurriedly came to the door of his son's room and shouted a few times, seeing that there was no response, he pushed the door in, walked to the bed to shake Zhu Hongtao, and shook it for a long time and still couldn't wake up, just fell asleep deeply. Zhu Jian shook his head and said, "Hey, pour other people's wine and get yourself drunk." ”

came out of the room to greet a few doormen, and the maid, holding a stick and a rope, walked to the door of the east wing, called a few daughters, saw that it should not be, pushed the door open and came in, but saw Lin Chunli was gagged and tied to the foot of the bed, hurriedly stepped forward to untie the rope and asked, "Where did that kid go?" ”

Lin Chunli pulled out the sweat towel in her mouth, took a few sips, and said, "As soon as I entered the door last night, I was tied to the foot of the bed by him and went out." I don't know where to go. ”

Zhu Jian was extremely disappointed, and sighed in his mouth: "Really! The boiled duck flew, and he must have seen the flaw." ”

After eating breakfast and hurriedly coming to the store, as soon as I entered the door, I saw the shopkeeper giggling and said: "Wang Gongzi has already settled the bill and left, and there are still twenty taels of gold left on the account, and Gongzi said to give me the twenty taels of gold." ”

Zhu Jian looked at the shopkeeper with an expressionless face, and went straight to the counter without answering, the shopkeeper's heart was on fire, and he walked to the counter and asked for it twice, and said angrily: "Take out the twenty taels of gold and give it to me." ”

"You don't have any evidence, and you think I'm going to believe you? More mouthfuls will kick you out of the store. The shopkeeper couldn't, so he had to swallow his anger and wipe the table with a rag. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, thinking about finding a plan to take revenge on Zhu Jian.

It is said that Wang Shi lived in Lu Xiaoxing at night, all the way forward, and did not know where to go, hesitated to remember that when he was in Jinling last year, he got acquainted with the North Leg Gate, kicked the cloud tiger Cao Jianren, why not go to Liangzhou to see, with the road across the Yellow River, to Liangzhou and walk, walked on the road for seven or eight days, the weather gradually got hot, it was the hot weather in June, this day, to the boundary of Fengxiang Mansion, because of greed to catch up with a few schedules, suffered from the heat, riding on the horse was a little dizzy, nausea and nausea, there is a small town out of the city seventy miles, called Luyang Town, the town is not big, but it is also lively, the merchants who sell horses and leather goods in the past are staying in this place, Wang Shi entered the town in the evening, at the entrance of the town homecoming inn, rested. I was nauseous and didn't want to drink and eat, so I drank two bowls of noodle soup casually and went back to my room early to sleep. The next day, when the shopkeeper saw that Wang Shi didn't come for breakfast, he brought a few steamed buns and a bowl of soup, sent them to the door, and raised his hand to knock on the door: "Guest officer, I'm the shopkeeper, I'll send you breakfast." ”

Wang Shi was uncomfortable lying on the bed because of the heat yesterday, so he got up and opened the door, and let the shopkeeper into the house, and the second child put the dishes, chopsticks, soup, and steamed buns on the table, and looked at it, only to see Wang Shi's face sallow and sluggish. He sat back on the bed and asked with a smile, "Guest officer, but I'm not feeling well." ”

"I'm nauseous, I feel flustered, I'm sweating, I'm feeling uncomfortable. Wang Shi pressed his hand to his chest

"If you want to come to the guest officer, you must be in a hurry during the day, you are in a hurry, you are in the heat, and you will be raised for a few days, if you really can't stand it, there is Langzhong in the town, and the villain will call you for it. ”

Wang Shi heard that Langzhong replied: "I will also see a doctor myself, why don't you help me bring me a pen and paper, wait for me to prescribe a prescription and grab two medicines with you, help me boil well in the kitchen, and then give me a drink, I will be well when I am sick, thank you heavily." ”

The shopkeeper heard Wang Shi say that he wanted to thank him heavily, and his eyes went straight to the burden at the head of the bed, and his mouth promised: "I'll give you the four treasures of the study, as long as the guest officer you raise your body well, it will be blessed by God, and I will be grateful for rewarding me with a few dollars of errand silver." ”

The shopkeeper came downstairs, took a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Wang Shi prescribed the prescription, and the shopkeeper took it and went to grab the medicine. In the future, I will be boiled well, sent to the room, I drank the medicine for three days in a row, and my body did not improve, but I was sick day by day, and gradually dying, and the shop Xiaoer went to invite Lang Zhong in the town to come and see, checked the pulse, and prescribed a few more medicines, and took it for a few days, but the condition became serious, and I couldn't get up from the bed every day.

After a few more days, the innkeeper asked Xiao Er, "Has the guest upstairs had eaten in the past two days?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "Now I'm sicker, I can't get enough water and rice, I can't even drink medicine, and I just lie motionless in bed every day." ”

The shopkeeper heard that the shopkeeper was so dangerous, beckoned the shopkeeper to come closer, and asked in a low voice: "Look at this person, can he still live." ”

"I'll look at the hanging," the shopkeeper pouted

The shopkeeper complained: "If you die in my inn and spread the word, how will you do business!" He looked around and whispered: "Wait until midnight today, carry him out of the back door, put him in a sack, and bury him in the pine forest behind." ”

The shopkeeper looked at the shopkeeper in surprise and asked, "Why are you trying to kill people for money!"

The shopkeeper distinguished: "We don't want his money, and when we bury it, we buried the burden he carried on his body, as long as we don't want his money, it is not considered to be a murder." ”

The shopkeeper was silent for a long time. Speechless. In the evening, the shopkeeper heard that the drums on the street were playing three watches and three o'clock, so he called the shopkeeper, the cook and the fireman, and the four people came upstairs, entered Wang Shi's room, and carried the burden and Wang Shi downstairs together, but Wang Shi was only awakened at this time. He asked weakly, "Where are you carrying me?" ”

Everyone didn't speak, and the shopkeeper said: "Don't blame me, guest officer, I can't help it, if you die in my shop, you won't be able to do business in the future." I'm going to bury you first. ”

When Wang Shi saw him say this, he hurriedly distinguished: "So you can throw me on the street, I have no grievances with you, why do you want to bury me." ”

The shopkeeper said: "If I throw you on the street, do you want to be famous, others will say that I throw sick customers on the street, and the spitting stars can drown me." ”

couldn't help but say, a few people only cared about putting Wang Shi into a sack. At this time, Wang Shi's whole body was paralyzed and weak, unable to resist, and sighed: "I didn't expect my Wang Shi to die here today." ”

The shopkeeper and Xiao Er, the cook, the fireman, the four people put Wang Shi into the sack, and wanted to put the burden into the bag, the shopkeeper used his hands to carry the burden, the two hands did not move, the heart was curious, the burden was opened, and the shopkeeper next to him used a torch to shine, and his heart almost jumped out. I saw fifty taels and one ingots in the baggage, dozens of gold ingots in Huang Cancan, and jade jewelry, dazzling. Suddenly greedy. Hurriedly wrapped the baggage, the four of them glanced at each other, and put the burden on the ox cart. Then he carried Wang Shi onto the ox cart. I drove into the pine forest and went deep into the forest.

The shopkeeper held a torch on the side, the shopkeeper and the cook, holding a hoe and shovel, chose a soft place, and began to dig a pit, digging for half an hour, digging a deep pit for a person, and the shopkeeper said: "Don't blame me when you go to the underworld, go to reincarnate as soon as possible." ”

Wang Shi said sadly in the sack: "You can take all the gold, jewelry, and jade in the baggage, just to let Xiaosheng live." ”

The shopkeeper sneered: "If you let you live, then you go to the government to sue me for murder." Don't you hear: Cutting the grass does not remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows, don't blame us for being ruthless. ”
