Chapter 23 Zhang Shun

Let’s talk about Zhang Shun today. Zhang Shun grew up on the Xunyang River. He was very good at water. He was nicknamed Baitiao in the Wave. He could swim in the water for three days and three nights. Liangshan number one, he also boasted that even a drowned duck could not drown him. Zhang Shun is not only good at swimming, but also a good person. He is a first-class good man in the bandit circle. He would rather suffer losses than compete with others. He is neither greedy nor gambling, and can get along with anyone.It is said that such a person should be liked by everyone, but the fact is that he offended many people inadvertently.

Brother Song kills and sets fire during the day, eats fast and recites Buddha at night. He heard that Elder Zhizhen of Wutai Mountain is a living Bodhisattva who can see through people's good and bad fortune. Every year, he sends a brother to ask for a lottery. The incense in Mount Wutai was surprisingly expensive. Wu Yong went there once, and before leaving, he paid 500 gold in advance to the cottage, and reimbursed an extra 100 gold when he came back.It is said everywhere that Elder Zhizhen is a god in this world, and it is rare for mortals to meet each other, and he is not willing to release the lottery easily. He spent a lot of money and entrusted the mother-in-law of his second brother-in-law, who was a classmate when he was a child, to see his dignity and ask for a divination.

Lin Chong went there once, and spent 800 gold. He said that Elder Zhizhen usually closed his door to thank guests, devoted himself to Buddha, and never saw strangers for no reason. Yang Zhi went there once and spent a thousand gold. He also said that under the emperor's feet, everything was difficult. Later, Zhang Shun went there, spent fifty taels of silver, and it was done! This immediately offended Wu Yong, Lin Chong, and Yang Zhi completely, and the three of them didn't even bother to raise their heads when they saw him. In officialdom, no one can be a good person. If you spend fifty taels of what others do for a hundred taels of silver, you will offend them.Going to work together, if others accept gifts, but you don’t accept them, you will not only offend the giver, but also offend the receiver.

well!It is difficult to be a person, it is even more difficult to be a good person, and it is difficult to be a good official.In this world, those who do poorly are all good people, and those who do well have special abilities, such as being double-decker, ungrateful, or making trouble. King Chao Tian died, and some of the brothers forced his wife to move out of Sanguan, some reported him for corruption and bribery, and some removed his nephew from the archery team.Zhang Shun didn't do anything, just stayed at home and slept soundly every day. This was not a disaster, he offended Brother Song, and he was directly demoted to work in the fish market.Why!Before he was a robber, he was a fishmonger, and when he became a robber, he was still a fishmonger!It's really going backwards!

Zhang Shun learned from the pain and finally understood this truth, but he was too kind-hearted to bully Mrs. Chao's orphan and widowed mother. After thinking about it, let's see the master beat the dog!Carrying Qin Ming's mace all over the mountain to look for rhubarb, unexpectedly when he found it, rhubarb had already been beaten by Shi Qian and was lying on the ground dying. As a last thought, I remembered his father's tombstone.When his father ascended to heaven, he begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother. He spent a thousand taels of silver to ask Chao Tianwang and Brother Song to write the royal letter and inscribe it on the tombstone.This is his proud work. You must know that it is difficult for Big Brother Song to inscribe, and it is also difficult for King Chao Tian to inscribe. It is even more difficult for two leaders to inscribe at the same time. He is the only one in the cottage, and this is also his capital. .He talked about it every day, and ran to wipe it every three to five times. In his words, it was his father's face.This was not to show his loyalty to Brother Song, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, regardless of whether his father hurt or not, he ran to his father's face with a chisel and chiseled several big holes in his father's face, at least he chiseled away Chao Tianwang's name .

Zhang Shun felt that it was not enough, so he inlaid Brother Song's name in gold and set off another string of firecrackers.
