Chapter 17

Xu Dedao: "Brother Wang was surprised by this, I have been working under Lord Zhu for so many years, and I have always been very free, and Lord Zhu is very lenient to us and never tight. ”

Wang Shi just laughed, he didn't know how to answer for a while, he couldn't just scold him for being a corrupt official. At this moment, I saw that the window on the second floor of the official ship was open, and a young girl, with long hair and a shawl, a goose egg face, a small cherry mouth, red and unfattened, and as delicate as a flower. The willow eyebrows are upside down, with a pair of big eyes, eyes like stars, it is the twenty-eight beautiful girl. Look down from that window. Wang Shizheng looked up and saw this woman, and the two looked at each other. Wang Shi's heart was shocked, this girl was Zhu Fu's daughter Zhu Chunfang, she heard Xu De talking outside, so she opened the window to look, and Wang Shi's eyes touched, and suddenly turned her face red, and hurriedly turned her face back, and the maid next to her Qingwen said: "Miss, your face is so red." ”

Zhu Chunfang said angrily, "Dead girl, who is blushing." ”

Qingwen smiled, and also stretched her head to the window to look, and saw a white-clothed boy standing on the cargo ship looking at the window, turned around and covered his mouth and smiled: "I said why is the young lady so sudden, her face is so red, it turns out that she saw a young man." Do you like him anymore? Hahahaha!"

"Dead girl, you're going to talk nonsense, be careful that I tear your mouth!" Zhu Chunfang ordered: "Close the window quickly!"

Qingwen smiled: "Yes, Miss, I'll go to the close." Qingwen walked to the window and saw where Wang Shi was still looking, and pulled the window over and closed it with a smile.

Wang Shizi saw Zhao Huan that time, and he secretly felt feelings in his heart, and later because he went to Mr. Zhao's house to propose, but was told by Mr. Zhao that Zhao Huan had promised to marry someone, so he had to throw this piece of love into the country of Clawwa. I had such a pair of eyes with Zhu Chunfang just now, but I was shocked to the tip of my heart by her deep eyes. Where do you stand? Xu De saw Wang Shi looking upstairs on his side in a daze, looked back, and shouted with a smile: "Brother Wang, what are you looking at." ”

Wang Shi came back to his senses after being shouted like this, and was a little cramped: "I didn't see anything, who is your girl upstairs." ”

Xu De smiled and said, "That's Lord Zhu's daughter, Miss Zhu Chunfang." ”

Wang Shi said abruptly: "Oh. ”

When I heard that it was Zhu Fu's daughter, I was a little unhappy in my heart, although she was beautiful, she was also a member of a corrupt official's family, and she must not have anything to do with a corrupt official. turned around and went into the room, and just pushed the door in, he saw Lai Simao running over from his bed quickly. Lai Simao saw Wang Shi push the door in, and said with a smile: "I'm back!"

"It's back. Wang Shi walked to the edge of his bed and sat down, and when he looked carefully, there was some white powder on the pillow. I don't know what it is. I was suspicious of Lai Simao, anyway, I would be able to go to Jinling tomorrow, and there was no need to regenerate branches, so I walked out of the room, walked to the door of Qin Wenfang, and knocked on the door, Qin Wen heard the knock and came to open the door, and saw that it was Wang Shi who smiled and hugged his fists and saluted: "It's Brother Wang, please come in." ”

Wang Shi came in, walked to the bed opposite Qin Wen and lay down, because each room was two beds, and Qin Wen had an empty bed in this room. Qin Wen asked puzzledly, "Brother Wang, what are you?"

Wang Shi beckoned: "Come here, I'll tell you." ”

Qin Wen walked to the bed, Wang Shi sat up from the bed, and whispered, "The three people in Tsing Yi who came on the boat, there is a problem, just now I went back to the room and saw that short man, Lai Simao, was putting something on my bed, and then I looked carefully at some white powder on the pillow, and I couldn't see it if I didn't look carefully." It's subtle. Anyway, I'll be in Jinling tomorrow, there's no need to take this risk, I'll just sleep with you tonight." ”

Qin Wen said suspiciously: "Indeed, there is no need to take risks, but maybe it's your own dandruff." Don't wronged people. ”

Wang Shi said: "I clean up the pillows every day when I go to bed, and I said that I only washed my hair yesterday." ”

Qin Wendao: "It seems a little suspicious in this way, the three of them are wearing the same clothes, and they say they don't know each other." There are indeed a lot of doubts. I used to hear my grandfather say that there is an organization called the Tsing Yi Society on the rivers and lakes, and everyone in the meeting wears Tsing Yi. It's very similar to these three people. ”

When Wang Shi heard Qin Wen say this, he was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "You tell me carefully what this Tsing Yi will be." ”

Qin Wendao: "I don't know much, but I heard my grandfather once talk to my uncle about this Tsing Yi Club during dinner, saying that a corrupt official was assassinated by the people of the Tsing Yi Club, and this Tsing Yi Club is dedicated to intercepting and killing corrupt officials." ”

When Wang Shi heard this, it suddenly became clear to him that those black-clothed masked people last night should be the people of the Tsing Yi Society, and they went to kill corrupt officials, but Zhu Fu, a big corrupt official, was saved by me halfway. It's a matter of the Tsing Yi Society, so the Tsing Yi Society has to send someone to solve me.

Qin Wen continued: "The name of this Tsing Yi altar master is Long Yunfei, I heard that he is proficient in swordsmanship, and Xuemei's swordsmanship is unique in martial arts. There are ten cold-blooded killers under him, all of whom have unique skills, the first one: double knife broken stream, Wu Chengfeng, eight feet long, so that a pair of willow leaf double knives, it is difficult to meet opponents on the rivers and lakes. Second place: Emei Woman, Yang Lulu, is the eldest disciple of Emei Yinshitai. The chivalrous battle is famous in the rivers and lakes. Third place: Seven-step soul breaker: Ma Guren. Good at using drugs, proficient in hidden weapons, killing people invisibly, making people unguardable, but the martial arts are mediocre, and they generally don't fight head-on with people. Fourth place: You Longjian, Liu Feiyun. Fifth place: Loop Hook: Tang Fei is the second son of Wang Ruyi, the second son of Wang Ruyi, and the apprentice of Wang Changhe. ”

Wang Shi said: "Then isn't he floating on the same water as the King Kong in the clouds that I killed the day before yesterday, and Yan Luchang is the same door." ”

"The water drifting Yan Lu Chang is Wang Ruyi's third disciple and Yang Mingyi's apprentice. ”

Wang Shi continued to ask, "You continue!"

Qin Wen continued: "This sixth place: Qian Zheng, the deadly gun, turned out to be a military general, and he was also the queen of the general, because he lost his official position, he mixed up in the rivers and lakes. Seventh place: It is Flying Snow Drifting Flower, Miao Long. ”

Wang Shi interjected: "How do you talk about the flying snow drifting flowers." ”

"Because this Miao Long is good at making double daggers, dancing like a ball of snowflakes, sometimes flying knives come out, just like a ball of snowflakes fluttering, so he got such a nickname of flying snow flowers on the rivers and lakes. ”

Wang Shi said: "You continue." ”

"The eighth place is, the dragon in the clouds, Lei Lei. The ninth place is, undersea Jiao, Wan Shilun, and the tenth place: Fire Qilin, Mei Cao. ”

Wang Shi said: "You haven't talked about the stunts of the latter two, let's talk about it." ”

Qin Wendao: "I also listened to my grandfather, and he didn't talk about the stunts of these people in the back." So I don't know either. However, you said that the short man in Tsing Yi sprinkled white powder on your pillow, and it was likely that he was a subordinate of the seven-step Soul Breaking Ma Guren. You saved Zhu Fu last night, ruined their affairs, and now you are coming to you for revenge. ”

Wang Shidao: "Yes, but I can't just kill them, after all, these people eradicate corrupt officials and are also righteous people, and I also made a mistake for a while." ”

Qin Wen said: "Then what are you going to do, the Tsing Yi Society will definitely find a way to hunt you down." In addition to the Iron Rope Gang, the Patrol River Yaksha Wei Qing, is the most ruthless, and three of the four King Kongs were killed by you. I'm sure I'll come to you for revenge too. ”

Wang Shi listened to Qin Wen's words, sighed and lay on the bed, complaining to himself in his heart, how good is it that he has offended so many people and made countless enemies on this trip. I didn't make much money. There were a lot of people who had been killed, though they weren't good people. Or the black-clad masked men they killed last night are good people, at least they specialize in killing corrupt officials. The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became, I simply didn't think about it, turned over and fell asleep towards the wall, and slept until midnight only to hear the sound of shouting and killing outside, Xu De's voice was shouting Wang Shi, Wang Shi and Qin Wen were both woken up, and when they came out of the room, Wang Shi saw more than a dozen black-clothed masked people on the official ship next to him fighting with tolerance, and saw that tolerance could not resist. It turned out that the person who intercepted and killed the corrupt official Zhu Fu this time was the third-ranked killer of the Tsing Yi Society, the seven-step soul breaker, organized by Ma Guren. This Ma Guren, martial arts mediocre, but he is a master of poison, last night, ordered his subordinates to kill the official boat, and watched not far from the shore, and later saw Wang Shi kill him, and killed seven or eight of his subordinates. I had to give up, and the next day I sent three minions, the short one was named Lai Simao, the white-faced and beardless one was named Yi Xingming, and the slender one was named He Changfeng. Lai Simao hid poison in his body and sprinkled it on Wang Shi's bed, as long as Wang Shi lay down, the poison touched the skin, and he would immediately festering and dying. This Ma Guren didn't expect that Wang Shi's vigilance was too high, and he didn't succeed in the plot. Wang Shi stood on the deck and saw that the men in black were twice as strong as the tolerance, all of them were strong in martial arts, and the tolerance had fallen behind, and they were hacked to death two or three times in a row. I saw Xu De shouting: "Brother Wang, help!"

Wang Shi ignored it, but the upstairs window was open at this time, and under the illumination of the lanterns on both sides, he saw Zhu Chunfang looking at himself, and his face was discolored, and Wang Shi's heart melted at once. If he didn't save himself, Zhu Chunfang would definitely be killed by the man in black, or ......

Suddenly, a heart of pity and cherishment was born. Because the two boats were moored side by side on the shore, not far from each other, Wang Shi hurriedly dragged over the sampan, put it on the official boat, and ran over quickly, the black-clothed masked man saw Wang Shi on the boat, Lai Simao and Yi Xingming behind him, He Changfeng also rushed out of the room, each holding a short knife in his hand from behind and stabbing Wang Shi, Wang Shi was about to go up the stairs, but saw the three of them killed. I can't control so much at the moment of life and death, I turned around and made three moves in a row, Luohan captured the tiger, and the iron ox cultivated the land, and I saw the stitches. Split their heads and covered their faces, and threw the three of them into the river. He didn't use much force, Lai Simao, He Changfeng, Yi Xingming, the three of them were only slightly injured, and they fell into the river and swam to the shore. Lai Simao still carried a bag of poison in his trouser pocket, this bag of poison was given to him by Ma Guren, Lai Simao only used a small part of it to sprinkle on Wang Shi's pillow and bed, and the rest were still wrapped in paper and put in his trouser pocket, just now Wang Shi was pushed into the river with a palm in his chest, the poison in his trouser pocket was soaked, overflowed from the paper bag, and stained his thighs, suddenly, Lai Simao felt as if there were 10,000 insects on his thighs gnawing, and then he remembered that there was a bag of poison in his trouser pocket, so he hurriedly took off his pants and threw them awayMa Guren came from under the yellow horn tree by the dock, took out a small gourd from his arms, pulled out the gourd stopper, sprinkled some medicine on Lai Simao's festering skin, and then took out a small porcelain bottle, poured a pill from it, let Lai Simao take it, and ordered: "You carry him back to recuperate." "Yi Xingming, He Changfeng went to the dock to find a door panel and carried Lai Simao away.

Wang Shi hurriedly rushed upstairs and saw two men at the door holding knives and slashing at five masked men in Tsing Yi. At this time, the left tolerance leg was stabbed. Straight back, Wang Shi rushed forward to shine on the masked man in Tsing Yi who was close in front of him, and there was a palm in the back of his heart, and the masked man in Tsing Yi who was beaten at that time spurted out a mouthful of old blood, just spraying on the face of the tolerance in front. This tolerance is instinctively blinked. The masked man in Tsing Yi next to him slashed him in the shoulder. Both of them were hit by knives and fell to the ground, Wang Shi hurriedly flew up with his right foot to fix the masked man in Tsing Yi next to him, stepped up and flirted with his feet, and kicked straight at the vital point, only to see this masked man in Tsing Yi threw the knife in his hand, covered his private parts, squatted on the ground in pain, and was speechless for a long time. The three masked men in Tsing Yi next to them saw that their two companions were knocked to the ground by Wang Shi, and turned around and slashed with a knife. I don't want to be an enemy of your Tsing Yi Society. But the three masked men in Tsing Yi were willing to listen to him, and flew a knife up and down, slashing at the top door. Wang Shi was forced to the corner, and there were three masked men in Tsing Yi in front of him, one raised a knife to cut his neck, one stabbed his heart with a knife, and the other swept the leaves in the autumn wind to cut his feet, and there was no way to avoid it. In a hurry, Wang Shi made a move to root the old tree, kicked away the knife that cut at his feet with his left foot, and made a move with both hands, the fairy girl picked flowers, and used his palm to pull away two knives attacking the upper plate, and then made a single move to the sun, and his right palm hit the face door of the masked man in Tsing Yi in the middle, and smashed the bridge of the nose. Immediately said backwards, nosebleeds in the chest. Sitting on the ground, tears flowed from pain, and Wang Shi exclaimed, "I'm sorry! ”

The two masked men in Tsing Yi next to him did not listen to his explanation, nor did they speak, they raised their knives from the left and right sides, Wang Shi made a move to show the wings of the white crane, and caught the knife of the two, followed by the bright claws of the green dragon, and the two masked people in Tsing Yi were seriously injured in one palm in the chest. Wang Shi didn't want their lives, so his subordinates showed mercy, and several masked people in Tsing Yi were knocked to the ground by Wang Shi, and Wang Shi said: "I'm sorry." Then he walked upstairs and pushed open the door, only to see Zhu Chunfang sitting on the edge of the bed with the maid Qingwen in horror, and when he saw Wang Shi pushing the door in, Zhu Chunfang's tightly knit brows suddenly relaxed, and asked with concern: "Have the robbers driven away?"

Wang Shi suddenly looked a little nervous when asked like this, and hurriedly said, "The upstairs ones were all knocked down by me." ”

When Zhu Chunfang heard that the robbers had been knocked down, there was a burst of joy on his face, but when he heard the sonorous sound of swords intersecting downstairs and the shouts of killing, his brows furrowed again, and he said to Wang Shi: "There are robbers downstairs, you go and help them." My mom and dad are still downstairs. ”

Wang Shi said: "It's none of my business. ”

Zhu Chunfang begged in a coquettish voice: "Oh, you just go and help them, if my parents have any longs and weaknesses, I won't live." Saying that, his eyes were full of tears, and Wang Shi, who saw it, was very unbearable, and he couldn't refuse her request. I couldn't help sighing, "I'll go now!"

Wang Shi came downstairs, and the five masked men in Tsing Yi who were knocked to the ground by Wang Shi had already helped each other to the shore. I saw that five or six people were killed downstairs, and only Xu De and four or five tolerances were still barely supporting, and they couldn't support it. Then two more knives fell to the ground, and more than a dozen masked people in Tsing Yi slashed their broom knives, smashing and slashing, only to see that Xu De's face was covered with blood, and he was already a little weak, and he couldn't stop it in the parry. Wang Shi secretly said in his heart: There are many thieves, and if you don't be ruthless, these tolerances will have to be killed. Two arrows rushed forward, poured the strength of the dantian into both palms, and hit the masked man in Tsing Yi with a strong wind, and suddenly seven or eight masked people in Tsing Yi fell to the ground with one palm, and Gu was killed with one palm. There were still two masked men in Tsing Yi who saw that they were not headed, and jumped into the water to flee for their lives. Wang Shi looked at the corpses all over the ground. Shaking his head, he said, "Hey, I really don't want to kill you." ”

Seven or eight tolerances dragged the injured body over and hugged their fists to salute, thanking them for saving their lives just now, and Wang Shi returned the salute with his fists. Didn't speak. Xu De's face was covered with blood and he was extremely tired, and he stiffened and squeezed out a smile from the muscles on his face. stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Brother Wang for your righteous action just now." Otherwise, we will die here today. ”

Wang Shi returned the salute with his fists in displeasure, and turned around to go back. Xu De stepped forward and grabbed it. At this time, Zhu Fu heard the sound of swords outside in the house and stopped, so he put a hanging heart in his stomach, knowing that the robbers had been beaten away. came out of the room and saw that everyone was thanking Wang Shi. Quickly stepped forward and stopped Wang Shi and hugged his fists and saluted: "Thank you Wang Zhuangshi for your action today, Wang Zhuangshi has saved the old man's life twice, and I don't know how to repay him." ”

Wang Shi said: "I don't want you to repay you. Then he went back to the boat. ”

Zhu Fu laughed and said: "Wang Zhuangshi stayed, I shouldn't have said anything to repay or not to repay just now, and I said that the hero's arrogance was so unbearable." Please forgive your sins! ”

Wang Shi turned around and said, "But it's nothing, so I'll go back to rest in the evening." "I'm about to go back. Zhu Fu said: "The old man wants to invite the strong man to have two drinks together, and he also asks Wang Zhuangshi not to postpone it." Xu De also said on the side: "It's boring to go back, why don't you stay and have a drink or two together, and talk about the righteous action just now." ”

Wang Shi was persuaded, so he and Xu De followed Zhu Fu into the room, Zhu Fu ordered miscellaneous servants, cleaned up the corpse on the boat, and sent two relatives to the city to report to Wuhu County, and quickly sent people to protect it. The rest of the injured servants were allowed to recuperate from their injuries in the return cabin. Ordered the servants to serve the food and drinks. The maid next to her took the lamp and persuaded five or six glasses of wine. Wang Shi asked, "Master Zhu, do you know where these black-clothed masked men come from?" ”

Zhu Fu took a sip of the wine glass, put the wine glass on the table, pondered for a while, and said: "After so many years of being an official, it is inevitable to offend many people. In addition, there are many wealthy eunuchs. These bandits were entangled all the way. Hey!"

Wang Shidao: "I heard a friend say that these people are from the Tsing Yi Society, and this Tsing Yi Society specializes in killing corrupt officials. Wang Shi looked at Zhu Fu after speaking.

I secretly said in my heart: Look how you reply to my words. The implication is that this Tsing Yi will kill corrupt officials, and you are hunted down by the Tsing Yi Society, aren't you a corrupt official.

Zhu Fu listened, was silent for a while and said: "Decades of hard study, isn't it just to be an official, I remember when I used to study, I ate dry steamed buns and boiled water every day, and sometimes I went to Zhao Ganniang, who lived behind the house, to ask for some pickles, and then I often went, Zhao Ganniang refused to give me pickles, I still remember the winter when I was 25 years old, it snowed a lot outside, I sat in front of the window and read, my hands were frozen, my feet were frozen, there was no money to buy carbon, no money to buy wood for a fire." I didn't have a winter padded jacket on my body, so I kept walking around the house, so that it could be warmer, but the amount of exercise was too great, and I would be hungry faster, looking at the snow outside the window, I improvised a poem: The snow is flying in the cold sky of the moon, and the poor scholars are suffering. There is no cotton body in the cold stomach and hunger, and the cold window is hard to study for the examination period. Once after the dragon gate, the horse whip is bold. Zhu Fuyu stopped the poem and asked with a smile: "What does Wang Yingying think of my poem." Before Wang Shi could reply, Zhu Fu drank all the wine in the cup, laughed and said: "Now I finally don't have to live that kind of bitter life anymore, not only do I not want to live that hard life, but I can't let my daughter live that kind of hard life." So I've got to make money! My current life is what I've earned by studying hard. Is my success easy?" the maid filled up her wine beside her. Zhu Fu drank three cups in a row, and at this time, Zhu Chunfang's voice came from the door: "Daddy!"

"Come on, come on, come and sit down at Daddy's place, and I'll introduce you. Zhu Fu said and beckoned to Zhu Chunfang. Zhu Chunfang walked over and sat next to Zhu Fu, and then Xu De stood up and said goodbye: "Even if the young lady is here, the villain will retire!"

Zhu Fu said with a smile: "Leader Xu doesn't have to see outside, I have never looked at you as a person, I regard you as my brother." Sit down quickly and don't stick to the rituals. ”

Everyone persuaded a few more glasses of wine, and Zhu Fu said: "My daughter, although she is a woman, she has a boy's heart, and she is very wild, hahaha!" Wang Shi just bowed his head and said nothing. Zhu Chunfang said: "Daddy, Wang Gongzi, Uncle Xu, I'll dance a little to help the wine." How!"

Wang Shi asked, smiled and said, "Miss Lao is in charge." Zhu Fu said: "So very good! So very good!"

Zhu Chunfang bowed slightly, and said a thousand blessings: "The little woman is ugly!", and ordered the maid Qingwen to take the pipa, and after a while, Qingwen took the pipa from the young lady's room and handed it to the young lady. Zhu Chunfang raised her fingers, lowered her lips, the warbler sang in a whisper, and sang in a low voice with the pipa music: "You don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns."

You don't see it, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk.

Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon.

I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone.

Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for pleasure will require 300 cups of drink.

Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, will enter the wine, and the cup will not stop.

Sing a song with you, please listen to it for me.

The bells and drums are not expensive enough, but I hope that I will not wake up after being drunk for a long time.

The ancient sages were all lonely, and only the drinker left his name.

In the past, King Chen feasted peacefully, and fought wine for ten thousand years.

What is the owner's words, he has to sell the right gentleman.

Five-flowered horses, daughters and daughters, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you. ”

What Zhu Chunfang sang was Li Bai: The song "Will Enter the Wine" will enter the wine, but it has a unique charm when it comes out of Zhu Chunfang's mouth. Dancing with the singing, Wang Shi, who was watching, was completely intoxicated by this song and dance.

After singing and dancing, Zhu Chunfang saluted: "The little girl is ugly!" After speaking, he handed the pipa to Qingwen on the side. Zhu Fu laughed and said, "Good song will go into the wine! come! come! Come and sit down." They persuaded them to drink four or five more glasses. Zhu Chunfang said with a smile: "It is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone." It's all about me talking at this table. This is not good, why don't we play a game to help the drink. After Zhu Chunfang finished speaking, his eyes stopped at Wang Shi's face. Wang Shi saw that Zhu Chunfang was looking at him with questioning eyes, so he replied, "What game does Miss want to play?" ”

Zhu Chunfang said with a smile: "Why don't you come to play poetry solitaire." If anyone does not come up, he will be punished with a glass of wine. ”

Zhu Fu laughed: "My baby daughter, she just has a lot of ideas, hahaha! Wang Gongzi, Leader Xu, what do you think." ”

Wang Shi also smiled: "Haha! This is interesting. ”

Xu De's face was a little embarrassed: "The villain can only dance with a sword and sword, but he doesn't know anything about this poem, if so, I will only have to punish one cup first." As he spoke, he picked up his glass and dried.

Zhu Fu said: "Leader Xu is really refreshing, even if this round of Leader Xu is over, then it's my turn." Zhu Fu pondered for a while and said, "The gate of heaven is interrupted and the Chu River is opened," Zhu Fu's sentence came from Li Bai's poem, looking at Tianmen Mountain. "Open the door of my East Pavilion. Zhu Chunfang continued. Everyone looked at Wang Shi. Wang Shi read in his mouth: "The door, the boat is parked in the cold river outside the door." After Wang Shi finished speaking, everyone looked at Xu De, and Xu De said: "I can't come out, I admit punishment." Raise your glass and drink it down.

Zhu Fu said with a smile: "The orchestra on the ship is green. Zhu Chunfang continued: "The edge of the green tree village is closed, and the green mountain Guo is oblique. Wang Shi pondered for a while and continued: "The oblique moon sinks into the sea fog, and the Jieshi Xiaoxiang has an infinite road. This round turned around and came to Xu De again, Xu De smiled and said: "So it's just me drinking alone, you fight poetry like this, even if you fight until dawn, you won't win or lose." Don't play anymore, don't play anymore. ”

Zhu Fu, Wang Shi, and Zhu Chunfang laughed. Zhu Fu said: "Such a fight for poetry has snubbed Leader Xu." He doesn't know poetry, it's not good! Hahaha!" laughed, raised his glass again, and said, "Come on, come on, let's drink together." "Just persuaded a glass of wine. Outside the door, the relatives who went to Wuhu County to report the news came back. Wuhu Zhixian: Xing Yuehua. With the head of the horse step capital, Zhang Chao, Zhao Wu, and fifty soldiers came to guard. Zhu Fu got up and hugged his fists and said, "I'll come when I go to see Xing Zhixian, you just have to drink." Lose less!. ”

When Wang Shi saw that the sky was about to give birth, he immediately got up and hugged his fists and saluted: "It's not too early, since the adults are going to meet guests, then Xiaosheng will retire for the time being." ”

Zhu Fu was busy going to see Xing Zhixian at this time, and he didn't have time to entangle with Wang Shi, so he said, "That's fine!" and ordered Xu De to send Wang Shi out of the cabin. Here, Wang Shi went back to the ship. Zhu Fu hurriedly changed into his official uniform, went out to the dock to greet him, and met each other. Xing Zhixian was invited into the cabin room, and the two guests sat down, and the maid came to serve tea. Xing Zhixian took a sip, put the teacup aside and said slowly: "I heard that Lord Futai has been attacked by bandits twice in a row, and these thieves are too bold. Please rest assured, my lord, I have brought my two most powerful heads to protect your lordship. ”

Zhu Fu hugged his fists and said: "It's really bothering the virtuous brother." Zhu can't thank you enough!"

Xing Zhixian called Zhang Chao and Zhao Wu in to see Zhu Fu, exchanged a few words of greeting, got up and said goodbye: "It's getting late, so the lower officials won't disturb the rest of the people in Futai, and retire first." ”

Zhu Fu personally sent Xing Zhixian to the dock, and then turned around and walked back to the bedroom. Mrs. Yan hurriedly got up from the bed and said, "How many soldiers are here?"

Zhu Fu ordered the maid to undress and replied, "Fifty." ”

Yan Shi worried: "Fifty soldiers are a little less. You go and talk to Na Xingzhi County, and send a few more people. ”

The maid took off his clothes for him and called for washing his feet, Zhu Fu said while washing his feet: "I, the prefect who has stepped down, it would be good if people could send you fifty people, and you still have to have Long Wangshu." Mrs. Yan grumbled again.

In the second half of the night, nothing was happening, and new guards were added to the official ship, and the top and bottom were full of soldiers. The next morning, Wang Shi got up and went to the restaurant for breakfast, where Feng Laifu and Cheng Guang had already eaten. When the two of them saw Wang Shi coming in, they both looked up, and Feng Laifu asked, "You went to save the Dog Prefect's family last night, and you got how much silver he rewarded you." ”

Wang Shi heard that he was making fun of himself, and while going to the side to get a bowl of porridge, he replied casually: "You two got up really early today." Wang Shi deliberately diverted the topic.

Cheng Guang said: "You can go to Jinling Wharf this afternoon, this is the last breakfast on the ship, eat two more bowls, don't come early, haha!" Cheng Guang suddenly covered up the sarcastic words that Feng Laifu said just now.

Wang Shi saw that Cheng Guang was making peace, and he was also happy, the three of them were eating breakfast, Xuankong Dao Chang walked in, Wang Shi took a look, and he lowered his head and nibbled on the steamed bun.

Cheng Guang smiled and said, "Yo! Dao Ye hasn't been out for a long time, but he is in good health today." ”

Xuankong walked to the table and sat down while drinking porridge and said with a smile: "Okay! Okay!" After agreeing to two words, he ate by himself.

It was such a coincidence that Qin Wen also came in, it was the enemy who was red-eyed when he saw each other, and Qin Wen looked at Xuankong angrily. Xuankong only did not see it. Qin Wen went to get a bowl of porridge, sandwiched a few steamed buns on the table, put a plate of pickles, carried them in a basket and sent them to Ouyang Jing's room, came back after a while, walked to Xuankong and sat down, Xuankong still only pretended not to see it, and only cared about eating his own. After eating two bowls of porridge and a few steamed buns, I got up and went back to my room.

Qin Wen wanted to provoke Xuankong, as long as he moved, he would be put to death, Qin Wen knew that Xuankong's collarbone was broken, and it was impossible to heal so quickly now, and he would definitely be able to win if he moved, but he couldn't strike first, lest others say that he was taking advantage of others' danger, Wang Shi was sitting next to him, and he wouldn't care. Seeing that Xuankong didn't match, he had to do it.

After breakfast, the boat went down the river, and the two boats arrived at Jinling Wharf one after the other. Zhu Fu took Zhu Chunfang and his wife, and all his relatives went ashore with the guards, Wang Shi stood on the deck and watched Zhu Chunfang's departing back, but he was inexplicably reluctant in his heart. was stunned, Qin Wen's mother and son came out of the cabin and walked to the front deck, Ouyang Jing said a deep blessing, Wang Shi hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted, Ouyang Jing said: "Thank you for the strong man for helping me several times along the way." The strong man settled down, and he could go to the house and sit down. Although there is no Yaochi immortal brew, entertain strong men. But there are a few cups of tea to serve. ”

Wang Shi said: "I must go to visit." ”

Ouyang Jing said: "I am in Hongwu Street, Jinling, with a large mansion in the middle and two vermilion gates at the door. There is a plaque on it: Ouyang Shijia. After speaking, he gave a salute again, and then instructed Wang Shi to go. took Qin Wen to the dock, and after a while, Xuankong also came out and got off the boat and went ashore.

Feng Laifu and Cheng Guang walked to the deck, and the two discussed, asking Cheng Guang to go to the inn first and wait for the goods, because every time the goods were transported before, they lived next to the dock, Yuelai Inn on Nanmen Street, Feng Laifu went to shout a few to carry the goods on the ship, and moved the goods on the ship to the inn, Wang Shi waited for the goods to be carried on the ship, and Feng Laifu walked back and asked Wang Shi to go to the inn. At this time, it was already three watches. Wang Shi's room is the third room on the left on the second floor. Xiao Er led him into the room with the lamp in front of him, lit the oil lamp in the room, and said as Xiao Er walked out: "Eat in the hall downstairs in the morning, order whatever you want to eat at noon, just call me if you need anything." With that, he went out.

Wang Shi went to the bed and lay down, listening to the drums on the street, it was the time of the child, because of the five aggregates of the inner strength of the heart taught by the Yuan Hui Zen Master, all the practice must be at the second time of the meridian, because of the human body's health qi and blood flow, alternate with each other in the time and noon, yin and yang meet, the heart and kidney intersect, and the road is far away, at this time, the luck can be twice the result with half the effort, the power is multiplied, practice for one year, and then practice for ten years. Wang Shi sat cross-legged for more than an hour before lying down to rest, and there were already five drums playing outside, that is, it was more than three o'clock in the morning. A few roosters crowed in the distance.

People are like this, the more anxious you want to sleep, the more you can't sleep, Wang Shi lay on the bed and kept secretly saying: It's almost dawn, go to sleep quickly, close your eyes and your mind is full of Zhu Chunfang's shadow around, forcing yourself not to think about Zhu Chunfang, Zhao Huan came out again, and fell asleep unconsciously, slept until noon, got up from the bed, called a few shopkeepers, shopkeepers came up and promised: "What do you have to say about the guest officer?" ”

Wang Shi said, "You help me get some water and I can wash my face." ”

The shopkeeper agreed, turned around and went to the back kitchen to bring a basin, carried a teapot in his hand, placed the basin on the washstand, lifted the teapot and poured half a basin of water: "What else does the guest officer command." ”

Wang Shi took a quick white cloth from the shelf, put it in a basin and rubbed it, and asked, "Do you see the two people who came with me?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "You're talking about Feng Ye and Cheng Ye, the two of them went out after breakfast, and they haven't come back yet." ”

Wang Shi twisted the white cloth, and then while washing his face, he asked, "What are they doing out?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "The two of them are frequent customers of our store, and every time they bring the goods to the house, they have to go out to the silk shop in the city, contact the buyer, and come back in the afternoon." Looks like I've gone out in the morning to talk about business. ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper glanced at Wang Shi, and then said: "What else does the guest officer have to say, what do you want to eat at noon, whether to send it to your room or go downstairs to eat." ”

Wang Shidao: "Boss Feng and Boss Cheng, will they come back for dinner at noon?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure, sometimes I will, sometimes I may be out to socialize." ”

Wang Shi looked at the sun outside, it was almost time, and he didn't eat in the morning, he was hungry at this time, and he hesitated in his heart, and said secretly: It is estimated that this Feng and Cheng will not come back to eat at noon today, so he said to Xiao Er: "Then you can fry a few dishes for me casually, send them to my room, and serve more rice, I have a large amount of rice." ”

After Xiao Er agreed, he went downstairs, and after a while, he used a basket to carry a big bowl of rice, a bowl of braised pork, a plate of shredded potatoes, a plate of peanuts, a bowl of green vegetable and tofu soup, and a pot of wine, and put it on the table in the room. With that, he went out.

Wang Shi had eaten, bored in the room, heard the bustle on the street outside, and thought about going out for a walk, it was rare to come to Jinling once, and was about to take a good look at the customs here, and went out of the store. Walking to the densely populated place, the street is buying and selling, showmanship, juggling, people coming and going is really lively, from the kiln bend street to Pearl Lane, follow the road to the north market entrance, just walking, suddenly heard someone call him: "Brother Zhang Ying! Brother Zhang!" Wang was shocked, is there another brother Zhang Ying with the same name in this Jinling City? Then he turned around and followed the voice to look over, only to see that there was a person behind him who was white and fat, but it was Wu Ren. I saw Wu Ren wearing a long shirt with red brocade. A black silk ribbon was tied around his waist. With a smile on his face, he stepped forward and hugged his fists and saluted: "I was coming out of the pawnshop just now, and I saw you walking by the door, and I chased after you." Brother, you also came to Jinling, you really met in a foreign country. ”

Wang Shi hugged his fists and said, "When did Brother Wu Xian come to Jinling?" ”

Wu Ren said: "Why don't you go to the tavern in front and sit down." The two came to the tavern and ordered a few side dishes, persuaded five or six glasses of wine, Wu Ren said: "Since the cottage broke up, I took the sixty taels of silver I received, made some leather goods and Shuzhong mountain goods, and then took a boat to Jinling, and then did some small business here." It's been more than two months. I didn't expect to meet you today. ”

Wang Shi said: "I just arrived yesterday. ”

Wu Ren said: "Brother Wang came to Jinling to do something?" ”

Wang Shi said: "Two merchants who are engaged in the silk business invited me to come with me. ”

"Then you're planning to do this silk business for a long time. ”

Wang Shidao: "I don't know. ”

Wu Ren said: "I'm in the back, I rented a house in Pearl Lane, you can go to my place to play if you have time," the two drank until the evening, and Wu Ren sent Wang Shi back to the Yuelai Inn before going back.
