Chapter 32 Chapter 32 The imperial envoy on the southern tour talks about the change of the tiger's face and goes north to the white clothes to rejuvenate

This morning, Zhang San was feeding the birds at his house in the alley, when he heard a sound of whistling and beating coming from the west entrance of the alley.Zhang San walked out of the door, and Zhang Shi came back from the outside happily: "Changzhen, a high-ranking official came to pick you up." Zhang San wiped the bird food on his hand, and said disapprovingly: "I and those wearing The official with the flower feather has no relatives and no reason, where did he come from?" At this moment, several servants entered the courtyard, and one of the servants shouted at the door: "The imperial envoy is here." Immediately afterwards, a top official The sedan chair stopped at the door, and an official stepped out of the sedan chair.The official was dressed in a black official robe with flower feathers on the top, with a thin face and shining eyes. "Master Zhang, do you still recognize me?" His voice was thick and loud.

Zhang San saw that this person was Wang Jinting, Wang Yuanwen's father, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment. Because he had rescued Zhang San's friend "Little Braided Liang" Liang Zhenpu, Zhang San had a good impression of him.Zhang San smiled and said: "Your Majesty Wang is willing to bow down, and I am really honored to come to this humble house." Wang Jinting walked into the door and sat on a wooden bench unceremoniously, and Mrs. Zhang hurriedly served a cup of green tea.Wang Jinting said: "I don't want to go around the corner. This time I want to ask Mr. Zhang to go on a business trip." Zhang Sandao: "It must be Mr. Wang who has been promoted." Wang Jinting said: "Zhejiang Governor Hong Sheng set up a private court to bully the people. , robbed the women of the people, bullied the market, and many people wrote to Chaoyan to expose his crimes. And because he embezzled the funds for repairing the West Lake garden and built a large-scale construction project for his own palace, he angered the Queen Mother. Chaoyan sent me to Imperial envoy, go to Hangzhou to investigate and deal with the situation." Zhang Sandao: "I also heard about Hong Sheng in Kyoto. He is a leader who started by suppressing peasant uprisings."

Wang Jinting took a sip of tea and continued: "Hong Sheng is not only a man of martial arts, but also cunning. He has three very powerful subordinates, all of whom are masters of martial arts. One is called 'Iron Fan' Mr. Dongting, his fan art Claiming to be number one in the world; one is called "Iron Braid" Panlong, his braids are full of steel wires, and his braids are very powerful. There is also Xie Tiefu, the "No. 1 Master in the South of the Yangtze River", He is famous for his night walking skills, flying eaves and wall walking skills, gecko swimming skills, swimming skills, etc. He is as light as a swallow, and people in the rivers and lakes call him "South Jie Bei Yan", "North Yan" Li San, and "South Jie" refers to Xie Tiefu. "

Zhang Sandao: "I've heard of Dongting, Panlong, and Xie Tiefu. I heard about them when I was traveling in Sichuan and Yunnan, but I never met them." Wang Jinting said: "Now the news that the court has appointed me as an imperial envoy has spread all over the south of the Yangtze River. Hong Sheng is naturally very jealous. I heard that he sent a large number of assassins and warriors to kill me on the way. Some people say that Xie Tiefu has arrived in Beijing." Zhang Sandao: "What does Xie Tiefu look like?" Wang Jinting shook his head: "I don't know either, I only know that he likes to sleep during the day and be active at night. By the way, that old thief Hong Sheng also has a beautiful concubine with extraordinary martial arts. Jade Cicada Wing was originally a Taoist nun who practiced very deeply on Tianmu Mountain, and was later promoted to a concubine by Hong. The short weapon of Jade Cicada Wing is very unique, called the "Queen Mother's Comb", and the weapon is in the shape of a crescent shovel , there are thorns at the four corners, and the combing methods include stabbing, pulling, pricking, lifting, splitting, and hooking, and there are twelve comb teeth, which are very powerful."

Zhang San asked, "When will the Imperial Envoy Wang leave?" Wang Jinting said, "The imperial decree urged me to leave early tomorrow morning, via Tianjin, Jinan, Nanjing to Hangzhou. My confidant is a bodyguard, also in casual clothes. I want to invite Mr. Zhang to be my bodyguard this time, what do you think?" Zhang Sandao said: "I have always admired Imperial Envoy Wang, and I was kind enough to help you last time, so I am willing to go, but I'm still working as a nursing home for Senior Bachelor Wang Wenshao..." Wang Jinting said with a smile, "I've resigned from that job for you." Zhang San said: "Then I'll clean up and let you go."

At that moment, Zhang San packed up his luggage, took a precious sword with him, bid farewell to his family, and returned home with Wang Jinting.When they arrived at the palace, Wang Jinting ordered his family to choose a clean room for Zhang San to rest in. This room was on the west side of the back garden. As soon as Zhang San sat down, Wang Jinting's daughter Wang Yuanwen walked in with a smile.Wang Yuanwen said: "Master Zhang is so at ease, now he lives in my house." Zhang San glanced at her, turned Erlang's legs up, and said, "I was carried here by your master in eight large sedan chairs." Wang Yuanwen said: "Yo, since this is the case, then I greet you." She said and bowed.Zhang Sandao: "You told me to find Sai Jinhua in Baiyi Nunnery, but where did you go?" Wang Yuanwen smiled sweetly: "I'm still reciting scriptures in the nunnery!" Zhang San poked her hard with his finger On the forehead: "You ghost girl, play tricks on me, where were you when the foreign devils started killing?" Upon hearing this, Wang Yuanwen's eyes turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, and she fell silent.Zhang San asked again: "Did you set the fire in Yiluan Palace?" Wang Yuanwen hastily argued: "It wasn't me who set the fire, it was set by a court lady..." Zhang San was startled when he heard that, Quickly asked: "Is it a palace lady?" Wang Yuanwen quickly explained the reason.

It turned out that after Zhang San left Baiyi nunnery that day, Wang Yuanwen was worried, so she also disguised herself and followed Zhang San into Zhongnanhai.Zhang San hid in the Hall of Yiluan and eavesdropped on Wa Dexi and Sai Jinhua's conversation, and Wang Yuanwen also hid in a dark place next to him to peep at the movement and watch out for him.After a while, Wang Yuanwen turned to the magic chef next to him, and saw a court lady setting fire.The maid saw her throwing down the candle and ran away. Wang Yuanwen caught up with the maid and said to her, "Little sister, I'm also here to take revenge."Wang Yuanwen said: "I will cover you to escape from Zhongnanhai as soon as possible. When the fire comes, a large number of foreign devils are coming." The maid said with tears in her eyes, "I don't want to live anymore. We have an upright China, but it is made of mud? When the foreign devils come, Being ruined like this, what face do I have to live in this world! I am the court lady who serves Sai Jinhua and Vaderxi, I hate them to death, and I don’t want to work for them, and besides, I..." The maid's face was ashamed After a while, he continued: "Wadexi insulted me, I'm already... three months pregnant..." At this time, I saw a raging fire in the Yiluan Hall, and many foreign soldiers shouted and rushed. Going to fight the fire, Wang Yuanwen was looking towards the Yiluan Hall, but when she heard a "plop", she hurriedly turned her head, and the maid had already jumped into the Taiye Pond.

Seeing the heroic martyrdom of the palace maid, Wang Yuanwen immediately walked along the weedy path to the north wall, climbed up, and then jumped outside lightly.Wang Yuanwen didn't go back to Baiyi nunnery in those few days, and sneaked into the house. At this time, the house was sealed and empty. She hid in the garden alone and dared not show her face.After a few days, there was no movement outside, and she came to Baiyi Nunnery, and saw that Baiyi Nunnery was in a miserable state. At this time, it happened that Zhang San also came here, and Wang Yuanwen did not show up.Afterwards, she followed Zhang San to Wan Ba ​​Ye's house, found out the facts, and got ahead of Zhang San, killing the wrestler Chen Yunjiang and the nun, leaving a poem and fleeing into the night.

After listening to Wang Yuanwen's narration, Zhang San dispelled all kinds of doubts.Wang Yuanwen said: "Daddy is going to Hangzhou. I am really worried. As a daughter, I can't go. The road is rough and dangerous, and there are many dangers. I hope Mr. Zhang will pay more attention to it." Zhang San smiled and said: "You Just relax. If Zhang San is with me, you will be with your father. Don’t worry. Can Hong Sheng have six heads? This time Mr. Wang is going to get to the bottom of the messy case and help the people in the south of the Yangtze River. Take your breath away." Wang Yuanwen talked with Zhang San for a while, then left.

In the evening, Wang Jinting held a banquet and invited Zhang San to the table. There were also Wang Jinting's old friends from the staff and the five confidant guards.Wang Yuanwen changed into a peacock blue cheongsam, with a bright red gem bead flower on her temples, and the two emerald earrings inlaid with jasper on her ears, making her look even more red, tender and green, extremely gorgeous.Her duck-egg-shaped little white face looked even more beautiful after a few glasses of wine.Her thin little lips chattered and said some witty words to the guests, which often made people laugh.

At this time, someone proposed to be punished by guessing riddles. Wang Jinting stood up and said with a smile: "Guessing riddles is an old style. Today we will change a trick and change a Jiehouyu. Start with me. I will say the first half of Jiehouyu. The people next to me must Tell the second half, and whoever can't tell will be fined to drink!" Everyone applauded in unison. Wang Jinting thought for a while and said, "Mr. Zhang Guo rides his donkey backward——" Zhang San, who was close to his right, blurted out: "You can't see the animal's face." Zhang San said again: "The eyebrows on the butt—" Sitting on the right was Wang Yuanwen, she pouted her mouth and complained, "Look at the que you came out of, how can I pick it up?" Zhang San smiled and said: "If you don't answer, you will be punished with alcohol!" Everyone should agree: "Yes, if you don't accept it, you will punish the young lady for drinking!" Wang Yuanwen said angrily, "What a shame!" Everyone roared with laughter. Zhang Sandao: "Okay, let's see you come to a more elegant place." Wang Yuanwen's eyes flickered, and she said, "Yang Liulang pardoned Yang Zongbao—" An official next to him said: "My daughter-in-law Mu Guiying scared me!" Everyone was having fun again, and then continued: "Sun Houzi sits in the Golden Temple—" "It's not like Renjun!" "Looking for monks to sell combs—" "Don't look at the object!" "The internal organs of the stone lion—" "Solid heart." When it was time for a nursing home to answer, he excused himself to go to the toilet and retreated, and everyone continued talking.But for an hour, the nurse still didn't come back.Wang Jinting asked another nursing home to look for him, and after another hour, the nursing home did not return.Wang Jinting was a little strange, and said: "It's really strange. I haven't even returned after I went to two nursing homes." A nursing home was standing in the courtyard, motionless.Zhang San walked over, and Zhang San stretched out his hand to touch it. The man's body was cold and he was dead.Zhang San looked up and down the nursing home, but there was no trace of blood.I thought: The killer is really vicious, and he did it impeccably.A gust of wind blew, and Zhang Sanjiu was half awake.He looked back and saw another nursing home nestled against the wall, as if sleeping soundly. Zhang San stepped forward to touch it, but he had no breath, and he was already dead. Zhang San felt a gust of wind on his neck, and hurriedly pulled away, only to see a young man in white standing behind him with a smile, stretching out his right palm to grab Zhang San's left rib.Zhang San shouted: "Who are you?" He stepped back a few steps, then reached out to grab the boy in white.The boy in white didn't say a word, and turned behind Zhang San like a whirlwind.Zhang San took a few steps back, took out his cigarette pouch, and swept around for a while. This move is called "Four Seasons Blossom". If he touches the opponent, he will be seriously injured or even killed.The boy in white staggered a few steps and said, "Excellent." The voice was like a copper bell, melodious and pleasant. Zhang San stretched out his hand to grab the boy in white, and the boy in white stretched out both hands, dancing up and down, like the hands of a thousand Buddhas, quickly and loudly, he grabbed Zhang San.Zhang San shouted "Hello", and made a move of "Goshawk Dive", directly taking the opponent's foot.The boy in white bent down secretly to protect his lower body, Zhang San made a move of "boy worshiping Guanyin", and used his right hand to probe the upper body of the boy in white, and the boy in white protected his upper body again.Zhang San held the cigarette pouch in his right hand and looked forward, the young man in white yelled softly "Aiyo", Zhang San's cigarette pouch broke in two immediately.Zhang San was a little annoyed, threw away the half of the cigarette pouch in his hand, jumped up, jumped more than three feet, and locked the throat of the boy in white with his right hand.The boy in white roared like thunder, and bumped Zhang San's right hand with his head. Unexpectedly, Zhang San's right hand was strong and thick, and with a bang, the boy's crown fell to the ground.The boy in white was slightly startled, withdrew his right hand, stretched out his left hand, and reached out to grab Zhang San's braid; Zhang San turned around, and the braid rolled towards the boy in white like a shooting star.Seeing the ferocious approach, the young man in white flicked lightly, retreated to the low room next to him, and sighed: "It's not inferior to my second brother's braid!" He disappeared suddenly.Suddenly someone in the living room in the front yard shouted: "Master is dead! Catch the murderer!"
