Chapter 23 Havoc in Chunxiang Pavilion

Last time, it was said that a woman was crying in the forest and was about to hang herself, but Zhang Lingyu said, "Let's hurry up and stop it." After saying that, he walked towards the forest, and Ma Rufeng said, "Okay." After speaking, he parked the carriage on the side of the road, tied the horse to a small tree, and chased after Zhang Lingyu. Then the woman had reached into the buckle, and with one kick of her feet, she kicked the stone under her feet aside, and immediately her mouth was strangled. Zhang Lingyu was in a hurry, picked a leaf and threw it out, and the cloth belt broke off with a click, just like a knife. The woman sat down on the ground, and he coughed several times, and cried again, 'God, why did you do this to me, you can't live, and you won't let you die, what do you want me to do?' ’

Zhang Lingyu and Ma Rufeng came closer, and Ma Rufeng could recognize him at a glance, this is Ren's wife, who sells tofu Wang Laoshi behind the street. So he said: 'Sister-in-law of the Wang family, it's not that God won't let you die, but this little brother Zhang saved you. At this time, Ren looked up, and I don't know when Ma Rufeng and a young man stood in front of her, she not only did not thank her for saving her life, but also complained: "This son, you want to treat me, making me more sad than death." Zhang Lingyu said: "Auntie, if you have anything sad, maybe I can help you solve it." Ren looked at Lingyu again and said, "It's not that I look down on you, I see that you are also a child of a poor family, and you won't have much silver to help me." Zhang Lingyu said: "I don't have much silver, but can I borrow it first?" Ren said: "If you don't borrow, you may still have a way to live, but you can only go to a dead end if you borrow silver." Ma Rufeng said: "Sister-in-law, what is the situation, you can tell me, this little brother Zhang will definitely be able to help you." Ren didn't say anything and cried again, and Ma Rufeng hurriedly said: "You go into the city with us first, and you won't be able to enter as soon as the city gate is closed." After speaking, he picked up Ren and walked towards the car, and when he walked to the front of the car, Lingyu helped Ren to get into the car, and Ma Rufeng untied the reins and drove towards the city.

Ren sat in the car and said: "Because Cuihua her father is sick, Cuihua is my daughter, sixteen years old this year, her father is sick, in order to cure the disease, he sold the house, and the disease was not cured, and then borrowed two taels of silver to buy medicine to eat, and the person left before the medicine was finished, in order to make him go decently, he borrowed eight taels of silver to bury her father. Zhang Lingyu continued: "Isn't it just ten taels of silver, I still have it here." Ren said: "Although I only borrowed ten taels, it was Uncle Diao's money." Ma Rufeng also hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, how can you borrow Uncle Diao's money, he is a vicious wolf who eats people and does not spit out bones." Ren said: "The beginning of borrowing is the silver of the Ji shopkeeper's house, who knows that a month later, Uncle Diao's house slaves will come to the door to collect debts, take out the IOU and it will become fifty taels, we still borrow other people's houses, how can there be so much silver to pay off the debt, those house slaves left to talk, three days later to make up enough silver, otherwise they will pull Cuihua to sell the account." Zhang Lingyu said: "They really came three days later." ’

Ren said sadly: "Yes, three or four people came three days later, and when they saw that we couldn't get the money, they forcibly pulled our Cuihua away, saying that they would sell it to Chunxiang Pavilion, Cuihua cried all the way, and I begged for mercy all the way to no avail, and they kicked me a few times.

Later, when she was really sold to Chunxiang Pavilion, I went to beg the bustard again, asking her not to ask Cuihua to pick up customers, and we could work for her. The old bustard said that I was old and ugly, and five taels of silver were not worth it, and said that if I wanted to let Cuihua go out now, I would have to pay at least one hundred and twenty taels, and said that I would spend one hundred taels when I bought it, and you two would not be able to pay the debt even if you worked hard. After hearing this, Zhang Lingyu said angrily: "Isn't this just a clear robbery, it really doesn't make sense, since they can mess around, we will be very entangled with them." As he spoke, the car had arrived at the door of Ma Rufeng's house, and it was already dark at this time.

Zhang Lingyu got out of the car first, helped Ren down, and said to Ren: "Auntie, don't worry, this matter is easy to do." Ren was surprised and said, "This is a big deal, how can you say that it is easy to do, Childe." Ma Rufeng said: "This Zhang Daxia is ruthless in dealing with the wicked, and even the three monsters of the rivers and lakes have died in Huangquan, this time the surname Diao should be unlucky, so that he can't eat and walk." Ma Rufeng thought for a moment and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Brother Zhang specializes in unreasonable people, if we take care of the loss, it will not be easy to do." Zhang Lingyu smiled: "What Uncle Ma said is very right. Ma Rufeng said: "Is it the first to eat at home, and then go to do it after eating." Zhang Lingyu said: "It's better to do things first and then eat, Uncle Ma, you prepare a few more good dishes, and wait for us to come back and have a good meal." Ma Rufeng smiled and said, "Haode, I will definitely prepare good wine and good food for you to celebrate." ’

While talking, Ma Rufeng's wife Liu and son Ma Yonggui came to the door, and Ma Rufeng introduced them again, and they all knew Ren. Zhang Lingyu said: "Auntie, let's go." After saying that, the two walked towards Chunxiang Pavilion together. Zhang Lingyu said as he walked: "Auntie, when I dreamed of Chunxiang Pavilion, you were waiting outside the door, and I waited for you to come in when I called you in." Ren said, 'Okay, I'll listen to you.' After a while, they came to the door of Chunxiang Pavilion, there were three big characters "Chunxiang Pavilion" on the door, and there were three big red lanterns hanging on it, and the lanterns were also three words "Chunxiang Pavilion", and there were two women in thick clothes standing in front of the door, who were soliciting passers-by. Zhang Lingyu asked Ren to wait on the side, and walked towards the door by himself.

As soon as Zhang Lingyu arrived at the door, the two women came up to greet her and said coquettishly: "Son, are you here to have fun, you have come to the right place when you come to our Chunxiang Pavilion, our girls here are all as beautiful as flowers, and they are extremely romantic, so keep you here once and think about the next time." Zhang Lingyu smiled: "What you said is true or false." The woman who called herself Vanilla smiled and said, "That's still fake, you see that I'm just a vanilla and so beautiful and moving, not to mention that it's full of flowers, peonies, jasmine, roses, and lilies in one, that can really make you happy, if you don't believe it, you can come in and see it." Zhang Lingyu smiled and said, "Okay, I was about to go in to see and see, and I heard that there is a newcomer in your Chunxiang Pavilion." Vanilla pretended to be surprised and said, "What, you know this, you are really well-informed, she has only been in for three days, and she is still a virgin, and you want to bring more silver with you." Another woman said: "It's not enough to have silver, but it depends on fate, this girl is very strong, she refuses to accept customers, and yesterday Sun Gongzi wanted to give fifty taels of buds but it didn't work." Vanilla smiled: "How can Sun Gongzi compare with this son, you see the handsome and dashing and graceful of the parents, if I give it away in vain, it will be too late." ’

Another woman smiled and quipped: "It's a pity that other people's sons don't look down on you, let alone give it away for free, even if you post it upside down, the fifty-two people don't necessarily like you." Zhang Lingyu said with a smile: "Forget it today, I will definitely patronize you next time." Vanilla smiled: "It's okay to give it away for free, but I don't have that much silver." Zhang Lingyu smiled: "Don't worry, I'll give you away for nothing." Laughing and walking into the hall, Chunxiang Pavilion is really not small, there are several tables in the hall, and there is a ladder leading upstairs, and there are a few young and beautiful girls chatting in the corridor. Suddenly, I saw a handsome boy come in, his eyes lit up, and then he started to talk about it. Vanilla smiled, "Mom, there's another guest. ’

The old bustard, a middle-aged woman, came out of the house and said with a smile, "Where is the distinguished guest?" I saw a handsome boy, but he was wearing coarse cloth clothes and carrying a burden, as if he was a poor man who had just entered Beijing to take the exam. The old bustard secretly said: "Although this son is handsome, I am afraid that there is not much silver in the bag, and I am here to open a brothel and not to recruit a son-in-law, so I will test it first and then say." So he greeted him with a half-smiling face and said: "Is this son tired of hurrying, and wants to relieve his fatigue in our Chunxiang Pavilion, you are in the right place, I have everything to eat, drink and have fun, all our services have to be charged, and the child's silver is insufficient." Zhang Lingyu took off the burden and put it on the table, he sat down and said: "This son has nothing else, that is, there is no shortage of silver, don't talk about eating and drinking for the time being, I want to choose a good girl first." When the old bustard heard this, he frowned and said with a smile: "We don't have anything else here, but there are beautiful girls like flowers." Then he shouted to the upper embrace: 'Come down, girls, you have a great guest today, and if you have the ability, please do it.' ’

Soon more than a dozen girls chattered down, although they could not be said to be as beautiful as flowers, but they had a bit of a posture. The girls walked to Lingyu and stood in a row, each showing their style to attract Zhang Lingyu's attention, some of them were dignified and elegant, some of them were flattering, and some of them were scratching their heads.

Zhang Lingyu glanced at the girls and said with a smile: "You are really beautiful like flowers, but this is the first time I have done this, and I also want to find a first-time one, do you have Chunxiang Pavilion." The old bustard smiled and said: "It turns out that the son wants to find a virgin, it is a coincidence that you have come, you just came to a virgin two days ago, although it is not everyone's lady, but it is also a small jasper." The old bustard said to the girls, "Go back, girls, blame you for not having this blessing, or the life of the green flower, meet such a haode son, maybe you can help her redeem herself." Then he said to a little girl, "Chun Tao, you go and call Cuihua down for Childe to see." Chun Tao responded and ran to the innermost room, and saw Chun Tao sitting there in a daze, Chun Tao stepped forward and said, "Sister Cuihua, my mother told you to go downstairs." Cuihua said expressionlessly: "Let her die of this heart, and I will not accept customers if I die." Chun Tao persuaded: "Sister Cuihua, as long as you enter the Chunxiang Pavilion, you don't want to keep your daughter's body, no matter how stubborn you are, they have a way to make you lose your body, if you want to force them to hurry, you will let Dabao and Erxiong forcibly open the buds, at most they can't get the silver to open the buds, I think this son is handsome and heroic today, if you can give the first time to such a son, you will not be in vain." After saying that, he sighed and said, "Hey, if I can meet such a son when the time comes, it will be my blessing." ’

Cuihua thought for a while and said, "Chun Tao, what you said also makes sense, if this is the case, I will really spend my life like this." Chun Tao said: "You don't think about yourself, you have to think about your mother, if you can stabilize here, you can get some tips and subsidize your mother's life." Cuihua said: "That's right, I'll go and meet that son." After speaking, he simply freshened up and dressed up, and walked downstairs with Chun Tao.

Cuihua came to Zhang Lingyu and peeked at it, and sure enough, it was a talent, and her face unconsciously flushed with red clouds. Zhang Lingyu said: "You are really selling tofu Wang Jia Cuihua. Cuihua was stunned when she heard this, and paused and said: "I am Cuihua of the Wang family, who is the son, how do you know that I am here." When the old bustard heard that the momentum was not right, he hurriedly said: "I said Childe, you are here to find someone." Zhang Lingyu said: "You're right, I'm Cuihua's distant cousin, I just arrived today and heard about it, I was very angry, just a few taels of silver to regret my cousin's life, it's really unreasonable." The old bustard's eyes widened and he said aloud, 'What do you say, a few taels of silver, I have spent a hundred taels of silver.' Zhang Lingyu said: "You just said that it was useless to spend a thousand taels, and my cousin didn't see it." The old bustard said, "Who is your cousin?" Zhang Lingyu said: "Are you an idiot, of course it's my cousin Cuihua's mother." Then he cried out, 'Cousin, come in and tell me if this girl is your emerald flower.' ’

As soon as the words fell, Ren rushed into the hall, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried. When the old bustard saw this, he was furious, and shouted: "Dabao, Erxiong, how did you two guard the door, how did you let this stinky girl in, and quickly drive me out." Dabao and Erxiong rushed over in response, raised their hands and grabbed Ren and pulled them out. Zhang Lingyu's face sank and he shouted: "Stop, if you want to drive her away, you can ask Cuihua to leave with her." Dabao and Erxiong really stopped moving, probably because Zhang Lingyu's voice was too loud and majestic.

The old bustard rolled his eyes, and said viciously: "Boy, you are not here to have fun today, but to find trouble, you don't inquire, who is my Chunxiang Pavilion to follow, today you come to find trouble is to find death, Dabao and Erxiong will call this kid out for me first." Dabao walked up to Zhang Lingyu and said, "Boy, do you want to go out by yourself or do you want us to throw you out." Zhang Lingyu smiled: "I just want you to throw me out, I don't know if you have the ability." The old bustard scolded again: "What's wrong with you two foodies today, what are you talking about with him, throw him out quickly." ’

Dabao didn't speak, he went up and grabbed Zhang Lingyu's arm and pulled it but didn't move, the second time he tried to increase his strength but still didn't pull, and Erxiong also came to pull the other arm, but the two didn't pull a bit. The old bustard saw that the two big men couldn't pull anyone else, and thought: "Today is a master of the rivers and lakes, and it seems that it is not possible to be ruthless." So he said with a smiling face: "It turns out that Gongzi is still a master of the rivers and lakes, and he is a hero who acts chivalrous and righteous, and it makes no sense for you to embarrass our Chunxiang Pavilion like this, and it makes no sense for us to embarrass our Chunxiang Pavilion like this, Cuihua was bought by us with silver, and if you take her away like this, we are not at a loss." Zhang Lingyu said: "Cuihua is obviously my cousin's daughter, you caught her here and you said that you bought her with silver, but your cousin didn't see a tael of silver, what evidence do you say you bought it." The old bustard laughed and said, "Of course, there is a certificate, and I will show it to you." ’

After the old bustard finished speaking, he went to the room to get the voucher, and at this time there were more and more people watching the excitement, Zhang Lingyu saw that Dabao and Erxiong were still grabbing their arms, and said: "You two quickly let go of me, otherwise I will be polite." Dabao and Erxiong hurriedly let go and withdrew a few steps away.

The old bustard showed Cuihua's deed of sale to Zhang Lingyu, and Zhang Lingyu took the deed of sale in his hand casually, and the old bustard's frightened face changed, and he said hurriedly: "Why are you robbing my credentials." Zhang Lingyu said: "I'll take a look first, what are you afraid of." Zhang Lingyu saw that the silver on the deed of sale was indeed one hundred taels, and the seller's payment was Diao Debao. Zhang Lingyu asked: "Old Bustard, who is this Diao Debao, is it Cuihua her father?" The old bustard smiled and said, "Diao Debao is the Uncle Diao who everyone in Ningguo County knows." Zhang Lingyu said: "That's right, this deed of sale does not have the name of Cuihua's father, nor does it have her mother's payment, and there is no signature of Cuihua, which means that this deed of sale is fake." The old bustard's face turned red in a hurry, and he defended: "The Cuihua family owes Uncle Diao the money, and she is paying off the debt with others." Zhang Lingyu said: "You also have evidence for this." The old bustard said: "This evidence is in the hands of Uncle Diao." ’

Zhang Lingyu said: "In this case, I will take people away first, and if you want someone, go and ask Diao Debao to come to me." The old bustard begged, 'Then return the deed of sale to me.' Zhang Lingyu said: "The deed of sale is fake, and it can't be returned to you." After saying that, he put the deed of sale in his hand, and when he twisted it, it became powder. Seeing this, the old bustard said angrily: "I see that you are the number one person who asked you to order, but I didn't expect you to deceive people too much, you think that my third aunt Wang is easy to provoke." Then he shouted: 'Dabao and Erxiong will beat me to death.' Then he pointed to the two big men next to him and shouted, "You are dead people, you don't usually say that one can beat three, but today the four of you can't beat one of him." The two big men hurriedly went to find the guy.

Dabao and Erxiong came over with sticks, and turned the sticks to hit Zhang Lingyu with their heads and faces. Seeing that it was about to hit the head, Cuihua's mother and daughter were so frightened that they didn't dare to look at it, and then they heard two plops followed by screams of pain. It turned out that when Zhang Lingyu saw that the stick was about to hit his head, he grabbed a stick with one hand, and threw Dabao and Erxiong to the gate with such a flick, Dabao broke his leg, Erxiong broke his arm, the two sat on the ground and screamed in pain, and the old bustard was frightened and speechless.

Zhang Lingyu turned his face and said angrily: "If you want to play ruthless with the master, then you are blind and want to annoy the master, be careful that I break your head and dismantle the Chunxiang Pavilion." After speaking, he lifted the burden, and slapped his hand on the table of the eight immortals, and the table immediately shattered and collapsed to the ground. Zhang Lingyu said again: "I don't want to embarrass you too much, if you want to solve the problem completely, you just go and call that thing called Diao Debao, and I want to reason with him." ’

As if grasping a life-saving straw, the old bustard hurriedly said, 'Okay, I'll go and shout.' He turned his head to a big man and said, "Zhao Liu, if you go to Uncle Diao's house, you will say that Cuihua has an accident, and tell him to come here." Zhao Liu left in response. There is also a big man who brought Dabao and Erxiong to the house to rest, and now he has no time to find Langzhong.

Zhao Liu hurriedly ran to Diao Debao's house, and a family member took him to the living room to see Diao Debao. Zhao Liudao: "The little one has seen Uncle Diao. Diao Debao took a sip of tea, squinted his eyes and said, "Why are you running here so late?" Zhao Liudao: "Something happened to the cuihua you just sold to Chunxiang Pavilion." Diao Debao said with a dewy light when he heard this: "What can happen to Cuihua." Zhao Liudao: "A young man came just now, and his cousin, who claimed to be Cuihua, wanted to take Cuihua away." When Diao Debao heard this, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he said angrily: "Where did the wild boy come from, dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and spread wild land on Diao's territory, I think he is impatient." Zhao Liudao: "Uncle Diao, that kid is a practitioner and has a good kung fu." Diao Debao said: "Uncle Ben knows, you go back first, and I will be there immediately." Zhao Liu went back in response, Diao Debao turned his face to the next family and said, "Lu Si, you go and call Master Han and Master Shen to me, and find a few more who can fight and wait for me at the gate." Lu Si went to call someone.
