Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Hu Sanniang is magnanimous and tolerant, she has passed that test.But just now I asked Hu Sanniang's personal maid, and Ximen Qing knew that Zhang Xixi, Pan Jinlian and Zhang Yulan, the three little ladies, were all lighting up, hoping that he could go to their house!

Tonight, the officials of Ximen Qing finally had a little annoyance of the emperor's difficult choice when facing the Sangong Sixth Courtyard.The three delicate little ladies are all as beautiful as flowers, and each has its own merits. Which lady's gentle hometown should I invest in tonight?

Suddenly a gust of north wind blew by, making Ximen Qing feel cold and sober up a little.Ximen Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing, scolding himself for being an idiot.But there are only three little ladies, why is it difficult to choose?

Ximen Qing had made up his mind, and walked towards Pan Jinlian's house with big strides.

When Pan Jinlian saw Ximen Qing coming, she was overjoyed, so she ordered the maid to prepare fragrant soup for Ximen Qing to take a bath and go to bed.However, Ximen Qing whispered a few words beside Pan Jinlian, which made Pan Jinlian's cheeks blush, and her whole body was full of spring.

Pan Jinlian hastily called two maids, and asked them to invite Zhang Xixi and Zhang Yulan to come to her.

After a while, Zhang Xixi and Zhang Yulan, who heard that Ximen Qing was waiting for her in Pan Jinlian's room, came to Pan Jinlian's small courtyard with colorful makeup.

Ximen Qing brought the two young ladies into Pan Jinlian's bedroom, sat down at the table, and drove all the maids out.

Looking at Zhang Xixi and Zhang Yulan who were looking at each other, Ximenqing closed the doors and windows, and told them that tonight he was going to play a poker game with three ladies, and whoever lost would have to take off a piece of clothing.

Zhang Xixi and Zhang Yulan are two young ladies, one used to be a Luqi person who traveled across the state, and the other was also trained in Zhang Mengfang's Dujian Mansion so that she is quite proficient in singing, juggling and juggling.Although the two of them were a little shy, neither of them were timid, and they immediately agreed to Ximen Qing's proposal.

Only Pan Jinlian was born as a maid of a wealthy family. Although she is skillful and good at needlework, she knows very little about gambling.However, Pan Jinlian is already full of enthusiasm at this time, she may wish to lose the bet and get rid of the shackles on her body sooner!

Ximen Qing has been proficient in all kinds of folk art and gambling since he was a child. How can the three young ladies be his opponents?Tonight, he made up his mind to take the opportunity to wantonly bully these three charming little ladies.

ah!At this moment, the officials really want to scream at the bright moon!

……

When Ximenqing returned to Yanggu County, while preparing the army to guard against Liangshan bandits, while exchanging branches and leaves with all the young ladies in the [-] styles every day, outside the city of Jizhou, Liao Kingdom in the north, a lone donkey The car crushed the dead leaves on the road, and laboriously drove from south to north, heading for Jizhou City.

The driver of the donkey cart was a thin man in a black robe with thick eyebrows and bright eyes.

On the donkey cart, sat a 25-year-old, somewhat attractive woman.The woman looked at a small copper bracelet in her hand and was in a daze.

The man driving the carriage saw the city wall of Jizhou City appearing in the north, and said happily to the woman: "Miss Li, look, Jizhou City has arrived!"

The woman looked up at the city that appeared in front of her, with a smile on her face.She asked the man: "Brother Zhang, is my son really taken in by kind people in Jizhou City? Will I be able to see my son when I go there?"

The man driving the car replied without turning his head: "Miss Li, I, Zhang San, only helped you because of my fellow Cangzhou fellow!

Your six-year-old son was tricked into coming to Jizhou two months ago, but fortunately a kind family took him in.Coincidentally, I was also in Jizhou at that time, and I heard the neighbors talk about this matter.I took the opportunity to ask the child, and he told me your name and the location of the village.

I wanted to bring him back to Cangzhou to find you, but that kind family said that there are many people who sell young children in Jizhou, and they refused to hand over your son to me.They will only release your son back to Cangzhou after the child's mother has gone to confirm that it is correct.Miss Li, the copper bracelet I took from your arm is not wrong, is it?"

The woman heard this and hurriedly said: "There is nothing wrong! This bracelet belongs to my son. Brother Zhang, please don't take offense. I just asked about my son because I was thinking of my son."

"Miss Li, when you see your son, you will know how chivalrous Zhang San is." said the black-robed man driving the car.

"I'm sorry for Brother Zhang this time, the little girl will never forget it!"

"Miss Li, you and I are from the same village. If I don't help you in Jizhou City, who will I help?"

……

While the two people on the donkey cart were talking without saying a word, they had already arrived outside a small courtyard near Jizhou City.

The man jumped out of the donkey cart, tied the donkey to a small tree next to the door, led the woman to open the door, walked into the yard, and entered the main room.

The door of the main room was closed suddenly, followed by a woman's faint scream, and then there was silence and no movement.

After a while, the man in black robe walked out of the main room together with an ugly and burly man, and stood in the courtyard.

"Shi Qian, the woman you cheated today is nothing special in appearance, only worth 20 taels of silver! I only offer this price, no more!" The big man said to the man in black.

It turned out that this strange-looking man with thick eyebrows and bright eyes was a well-known thief in Jianghu, Shi Qian, who was "a flea on the drum".

Shi Qian is a native of Gaotang Prefecture. He is good at flying over eaves and walls, hiding his body, and stealing as a profession.

This Jizhou and Cangzhou are the junction of the Liao and Song Dynasties, which is suitable for the gangsters in the rivers and lakes to go back and forth, committing crimes and committing crimes.

Shi Qian also took a fancy to this place, went north from Gaotang Prefecture, and did a lot of tricks in the area of ​​Jizhou and Cangzhou.

The so-called cheating by jumping fences refers to stealing and abducting women and children. This is Shi Qian's main business in the world.Anyone who is not a person of extremely low moral character would never make a living by cutting off children and grandchildren.

Shi Qian, however, was born a lowly thief with no sense of good, evil or shame.For the sake of money, he would even go as far as to dig up people's ancestral graves and steal graves.

This guy has been doing evil for many years, even though he is very agile, he once caused a lawsuit in Jizhou Mansion and was caught.It was also because he deserved his life that he was rescued by Yang Xiong, who was imprisoned by the two courts of Jizhou, and saved him from a prison disaster.

With the help of Yang Xiong, an unreasonable person, Shi Qian committed evil more recklessly in Jizhou.

This time, Shi Qian tricked a young woman from Cangzhou.

When Shi Qian heard that the big man was lowering the price, he called Qu and said to the big man, "Brother, you are too ruthless! What's wrong with the woman in the house? It's just that there was a flood in Cangzhou a few months ago. Her husband was drowned, and now she has lost her son. Her heart is sad and her face is a little haggard. You will raise her for a few days, and then change her clothes, and sell her for hundreds of taels of silver? You can't lose money brother!"

Chapter 3 "Accumulating virtue and doing good deeds" is on the drum

The big man glanced at Shi Qian and said, "Forget it, Shi Qian, for the sake of the few high-quality goods you sent in the past, I'll give you another five taels, no more! Also, you Leave me the donkey and the donkey cart outside the yard, I think you stole them by stealing them!"

After hearing this, Shi Qian finally smiled and made a deal with the big man.

The big man took out the silver and handed it to Shi Qian, and asked him casually: "Shi Qian, how did you trick this girl over here?"

Shi Qian smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? Brother, I took a bracelet from her missing child and easily coaxed her to come here from Cangzhou."

"When did you steal the bracelet?"

"To tell you the truth, I abducted and sold this girl's son from Cangzhou. His bracelet naturally fell into the hands of my brother. This is called selling the young one and then selling the old one. Brother, I have to start and finish things. Ah, hahaha~"

"Bah! Shi Qian, you are so treacherous!"

"Brother, brother, I am also accumulating virtue and doing good deeds! Cangzhou was hit by a flood, and this little lady lost her husband. She is an orphan and widowed mother. How can she support two people by herself? Brother, I will sell that child and let him have a bite." I’m full. Just this little lady, when I come to you, brother, she will be sold to a rich family as a slave in the future, or sold to that brothel, but it’s not better than her current days of starvation?”

"Shi Qian, if you say it like this, don't I have accumulated more merit than the abbot of the Baoen Temple? Hahahaha~" The big man patted Shi Qian on the back and couldn't help laughing.

Shi Qian also smiled and collected the money, bid farewell to the big man, left the human trafficking yard, and walked towards the city of Jizhou.

With so much money newly acquired, Shi Qian would of course go to the restaurants, gambling houses and Goulan cottages in the city to have a good time.

After two days of hanging out in the gambling houses in the city, Shi Qian lost all the money in his hand, and there was not much left.This guy wanted to go to the brothel to be romantic, but suffered from lack of money, so he had to sneak into the brothel at night, hide in the beams, and peep at the midnight sex.

The next day Shi Qian woke up from the foot shop, thinking of the beautiful scene he saw last night, he couldn't help but feel hot all over, so he didn't scratch.Shi Qian couldn't stay in the shop, so he got up and left the foot shop, wandering around in Jizhou City, looking for someone who could kill him, trying to steal some money for going to the brothel to have a good time.

After wandering around the street for a while, Shi Qian turned into an alley, and suddenly heard some young people with good deeds gathered in the alley in front of him, and there they made a song happily and sang:

"It's ridiculous to repay the kindness of the monk, bumping into the grievances of the previous life; he concealed the good man, and the believer seduced him, asking him to give up his body and be merciful and joyful. How can the positive music be attracted, and the bloody hell sculpture will appear early? Think'color Empty and empty, empty and empty, he didn't memorize the "Multi-Heart Sutra". Up to now, the disciples have returned to life, and even the elders have passed through the streets. I got impermanence to hook up the tent. Only Daomu Lian rescued my mother and went to the west heaven, and I never saw this thief bald for his mother's death!"

Shi Qian was thinking about it, and he heard a few good-for-nothing children making noise in the back alley.It turned out that they heard the singing in the front alley, and they were not convinced, so they also sang "Linjiang Immortal" to compete with him.The disciples in the back alley sang:

"When the precept of obscenity is broken, you will be rewarded for killing, and the fate will not be happy at all. The original appearance is too strange. You are really naked, and you put the butcher's knife on the spot!
