Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

I did not miscalculate, this place is not far from Shizipo!Ximen Qing thought to himself.

There is a hotel on the cross slope of the big tree, which was a black shop opened by the later Liangshan heroes "Hannya" Sun Erniang and "Vegetable Garden" Zhang Qing.

These two couples guarded the cross slope, specializing in the business of killing people and stealing goods.What is even more frightening is that they also made human flesh into minced meat, wrapped it into steamed buns and sold it to passers-by. They are really two out-and-out demon kings.

This kind of person who cares about human life and commits all kinds of crimes goes to Liangshan and claims to be a hero.It can be seen what kind of goods the heroes on Liangshan are.

Ximenqing remembers that in history, Wu Song fled eastward to Sun Erniang's store on Shizipo after bloodbathed the Mandarin Duck Building in Mengzhou.

At Sun Erniang's place, Wu Song changed into a Toutuo and traveled eastward for another fifty miles, where he met and killed the "Flying Centipede" Wang Daoren at Centipede Ridge.

Because he remembered this section clearly, Ximenqing knew that after fifty miles to the west of Centipede Ridge, he would approach Dashu Crossing Slope, and encountered the black shop opened by "Hagman" Sun Erniang.

"Old man, is there any hotel nearby to rest? After walking for a day, I am already tired, so I need to find a hotel to rest." Ximen Qing asked the old man.

"Senior officer, there is no foot shop at the foot of the mountain, but not far to the south is the village where the villain lives. There are two small village shops there, where people can stay and rest. If you are a senior official, you don't mind the village shop It's simple, but you can go with the villain." The old man picked up the hoe and said to Ximen Qing.

"In this way, old man Lao will lead the way. I will live in your village today." Ximen Qing said to the old man.

Under the guidance of the old man, Ximen Qing and his party quickly walked to the village and found two village shops.Ximen Qing gave a piece of silver to the old man as a reward for leading the way.

That night, Ximen Qing and his party stayed in that small village.After dinner, Ximen Qing called Jiao Ting, Tang Long, and Brother Qiao Yun to his room, and they had a secret discussion together.

The next day, as the sun rose to the east, Ximenqing and others had breakfast in the village, and after asking about the way, they led the horse over the mountain to Mengzhou Ridge.

The scenery on the ridge was beautiful, Ximen Qing and the others didn't stop and rushed over the ridge.When I looked around, I saw about a dozen thatched huts on the slope of the earth in the distance, next to the stream, and a wine curtain was picked out from the willow tree.

Seeing Ximen Qing, he pointed his fingers and said, "Brothers, the hotel by the stream must be the Shizipo Hotel. Brothers should have more wine there later, so that we can rest."

Jiao Ting and the others laughed and said, "The wine in that store must taste good, I'll always listen to my brother!"

Everyone talked and laughed and walked down Mengzhou Ridge until they reached the cross slope.

Ximenqing arranged for Tang Long to lead a few servants to ambush in the woods, and he, Jiao Ting, Qiao Yun and two servants led the horses, talking and laughing all the way to the hotel.

When I looked up, it was a big tree, four or five people couldn't hug it, and it was covered with dead vines.Looking at the side of the big tree, I saw a hotel a long time ago. A woman was sitting by the window sill in front of the door.

Seeing Ximen Qing and others coming to the door in a lively manner, the woman stood up to greet her.

Ximen Qing took a closer look, and saw that the woman was wearing a bright red raw silk skirt, her face was covered with rouge and lead powder, her breasts were opened, revealing her waist in peach red gauze, with gold buttons on her top. This dress is really beautiful and coquettish.

The woman had a thick waist and big hands, and even the makeup on her face couldn't hide the fierceness on her face.From the looks of it, she was the legendary "Hagboy" Sun Erniang.

At that time, the woman leaned against the door to welcome her, and said, "Guest officer, let's rest. Our family has good wine and meat, and when you want some snacks, there are big steamed buns."

Ximen Qing ordered two servants to lead the horse to the willow tree and tie it up first, then he, Jiao Ting, and brother Qiao Yun came into the shop first, and the woman hurriedly said good luck.

Three people went inside and sat on a pair of cypress tables and stools.They all took off the upper half of their clothes and hung them on the window sill.

The woman smiled and said, "Guest officer, how much wine do you drink?"

Ximen Qing said: "Don't ask how much it is, just hang around. The meat will be cut up to ten catties first, and the money will be paid back to you once it is sent."

The woman said: "I see that there are many people like guest officials who have to eat. I also have a lot of big steamed buns here."

Ximen Qing smiled and said, "You can do business in this shop! Forget it, you can also make thirty or fifty of them for dim sum."

The woman grinned, went in and took out a large bucket of wine, put down three large bowls, three pairs of wooden chopsticks, and cut out three plates of meat.Four or five rounds of wine were sifted in a row.

After Ximenqing's two servants came in and sat down, the woman sifted wine and cut meat for the servants, and then went to the stove to fetch two baskets of steamed buns and put them on the two tables.

Ximen Qing smiled secretly, thinking to herself, Erniang Sun, Erniang Sun, you evil mother-in-law met your nemesis today, don't even think about getting good from me!And let Uncle Ximen learn from Wu Song and play tricks on you!

Ximen Qing took a steamed bun from the cage, patted it away, and shouted, "The restaurant, is this steamed bun made of human flesh? Or dog meat?"

Erniang Sun giggled and said, "Don't make fun of the guest officer. The world is peaceful and the universe is in a mess. Where can the steamed buns of human flesh taste like dog meat? Come to my steamed buns. Jizu belonged to scalpers."

Ximen Qingdao: "I've always been on the rivers and lakes, and I often hear people say: 'Who dares to pass by the cross slope of the big tree? The fat ones are cut to make steamed bun stuffing, and the thin ones are used to fill the river.' This steamed bun is really not human flesh. of?"

Erniang Sun said in a panic: "Guest officer, how can you say that! You made it up yourself."

Ximen Qing said: "I saw a few hairs in the steamed bun stuffing, it looks like the hairs of people's urination, it's really disgusting, so I'm suspicious."

Sun Erniang insisted, "The guest officer must have read it wrong. Maybe my Huo family lost a hair in it when kneading the noodles, which caused the guest officer to misunderstand. How about I change the basket with the guest officer?"

Ximen Qing ignored Sun Erniang's request to exchange steamed buns, but asked again: "My lady, why didn't your husband disappear?"

Sun Erniang said: "My husband went out as a guest and did not return."

Ximen Qing teased and said: "When you are here, you must be left alone."

Sun Erniang smiled and thought: "This fat sheep is not trying to die, but teasing my old lady! It's the moths throwing the flames, causing the flames to burn you. Today I am not looking for you, but you are looking for me to die. Originally, it depends on you You are so handsome, but I want you to live a little longer. You are looking for death, and I just turned up the sesame and chopped it into steamed bun stuffing! How could I let you go when a rich official like you came to this cross slope? One person! I will deal with this fellow first!"

Chapter 70 Sun Erniang's Footwashing Water

Sun Erniang was malicious, but she smiled at Ximen Qing: "This guest officer, don't make fun of my family. The guests have a few more bowls, and you can go to the back under the tree to enjoy the shade. If the guest really wants to rest, I will take a rest. It’s okay to have a rest at this place.”

Ximen Qing heard Sun Erniang's hypocritical words, and thought to herself: "This Sun Erniang has malicious intentions! She saw that all the people I brought had entered the store, and she probably planned to use sweat medicine to catch me all in one go. Hehe But this woman is looking for death, look at me and play tricks on her first!"

Ximen Qing made up his mind to play tricks on Erniang Sun, so he deliberately said to Erniang Sun: "Your Majesty is really hospitable! It's just that the wine in your house is so weak that it makes my mouth tasteless. You don't have any good wine in your house. Come buy us a few bowls."

Jiao Ting also chimed in, took out a large silver coin and slapped it on the table, and said in a bluff, "That's right, there's a bird out of this mouth! Why did the master use this inferior wine to fool us! Are you afraid that I won't be able to pay for the drinks?"

Sun Erniang was about to wait for the opportunity to pour sweat medicine on Ximen Qing and the others, but hearing these words hit her right.

Sun Erniang said to Ximen Qing with a smile: "Since the guest officer asks this way, I will not hide it from the guest officer. My family has some very fragrant and delicious wine, but it is a bit muddy. Can the guest officer have it?"

Ximen Qing said: "It's the best, old wine, the muddier it is, the better it tastes. Quickly serve a few bowls and let me try it later. You must pay for the wine."

Sun Erniang was secretly happy, so she went inside and brought out a swirl of muddy wine.

Ximen Qing looked at it and knew that it must be the wine that had been dosed with sweat medicine, but he said in his mouth: "This is good raw wine, it should only be eaten hot."

Sun Erniang said: "It's better for this guest officer to save. I'll come and you have a taste."

Sun Erniang thought to herself: "This man deserves to die, he wants to drink hot wine, but this medicine works faster. Hmph! This guy is my licensed product!"

Sun Erniang's medicated wine was hot, and she sifted it into five bowls, and said, "Guest officer, try this wine."

The two domestic servants didn't know the inside story, they were so hungry and thirsty there, they just picked it up and ate it.

The reason why Ximen Qing didn't tell the two servants was because he wanted them to taste the wine, so as to know when the onset would occur after drinking the Mongolian Khan medicinal wine, so that the three of them could act like a gourd.

Ximen Qing intentionally dismissed Erniang Sun, so he said to Erniang Sun: "Miss, I've never had enough wine, you can cut some good beef to eat with me."

Sun Erniang saw that the two domestic servants who were traveling with Ximen Qing had finished their wine, so she didn't suspect him, so she turned around and went to cut the meat.

Ximen Qing, Jiao Ting, and Brother Qiao Yun Zhang De's Erniang Sun turned and went in, but poured the wine in a secluded place.
