Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-Third

Zhang San rushed to the living room to have a look, and saw that Wang Jinting was surrounded by people, Zhang San squeezed in to have a look, he knew in his heart that it was different, so he smiled.It turned out that there were three shiny plum-blossom needles inserted in front of the table where Wang Jinting was sitting. Anyone who used a hidden weapon usually issued three or six rows of gestures. These three plum-blossom needles shot on the table in volley, so it can be concluded that Wang Jinting did not hit the hidden weapon. Sure enough, after a while, Wang Jinting pretended to wake up. "Father, how are you? What's wrong with you?" Wang Jinting pretended to be dead, even hiding it from his daughter.

Wang Jinting opened his eyes slightly, and a nursing home brought a glass of water for him to drink. Wang Jinting stood up and said with a smile, "I almost lost the general before going out. Hong Sheng's group came so fast." Zhang San stepped forward Said: "The two guards who just left were also killed by them. They used cotton palms, and there was no blood on their bodies. It seems that there are more than one person here." Wang Yuanwen looked at Wang Jinting worriedly, and said slowly: "Father, It's better to resign the imperial envoy." Wang Jinting showed an angry look on his face, and said: "Pleading for the people, expressing justice, punishing the evil and helping the weak are the purpose of my official career. It is my decree, I would rather resign and go back to seclusion, than waste my years in the ups and downs of the officialdom, taking the salaries of the common people for nothing, and let the words of the common people pierce the spine, so don't say more." Everyone listened to Wang Jinting's righteous and stern argument. , deeply moved.

After the guests dispersed, Wang Jinting went back to his room to rest. Wang Yuanwen was worried about his father's safety, so he temporarily built a wooden bed in the outer room of Wang Jinting's room, and fell asleep with his sword in his arms. Zhang San summoned the guards, picked two strong men to be the bodyguards of the imperial envoy, and then sent them to different places, and went back to the house to rest.Back in the house, he lit a candle, and was about to take off his clothes and go to sleep when he saw a sharp knife stuck in the pillow, with a note under it; Zhang San opened the note, and it read: "Drunk Zhang San, turn around and be right. It's not too late to stay at home!" That word is chic and elegant.Zhang San smiled, crushed the note, threw it aside, weighed the sharp knife in the palm of his hand, snapped it into two pieces, and threw it aside.

Zhang San thought: Tonight is more or less auspicious, he can't take off his clothes to sleep, it's better to be careful.He leaned on the pillow and fell asleep.As he was falling asleep, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "It's on fire, it's on fire!" Zhang San jumped up and saw that the back garden was full of flames.He ran out the door and ran towards the back garden, only to see several nursing homes busy fighting the fire.It turned out that a pavilion called "Miaoxiangzhai" in the back garden caught fire.Zhang San suddenly thought, could it be a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, Master Wang Jinting doesn't know what will happen to his life.Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on his body, and he hurriedly ran towards Wang Jinting's residence.As soon as he ran into the second-floor courtyard, he heard the wind blowing behind his head. Zhang San turned his head, and a flying claw was thrown towards him; One of the people on it was pulled down.The man was thin, dressed in night clothes, and his face was covered with a black cloth.Zhang San made a move of "tiger digs out its heart", and directly grabbed the man's chest; the man flitted around like a flying swallow.Zhang San asked urgently: "Who are you? How dare you assassinate at night?" The man spoke with a Zhejiang accent and said: "Turn back and be right!" Zhang San couldn't help being annoyed when he saw what he said on the note.Made a "White Snake Spit Letter" to lock the man's throat, Zhang San asked three times, but the man didn't say whether he was dead or alive, Zhang Sanyi exerted force, and the man spurted out blood.

Seeing that the man was dead, Zhang San ran straight to Wang Jinting's room, only to see that there was no one inside and outside the room, and the wooden bed in the outer room had collapsed.Zhang San was startled, and shouted several times: "My lord! My lord! Miss Wang! Miss Wang!" But there was no response. At this time, a nursing home came running, Zhang San asked: "Have you ever seen the master and miss?" The nurse had blood on his face.Out of breath, he said: "The master was carried away by a villain, and the young lady chased after him." "Where did you go?"

"Run north!" Zhang San rushed out of the room, chased northward, and went out of the Anding Gate, where he saw two black spots, one in front and one behind.The black dot in front is a villain, he is running away with Wang Jinting on his back.The one behind is Wang Yuanwen, holding a sword, desperately chasing him.Zhang San's qinggong is superb, and after running for a distance, he has caught up with Wang Yuanwen; Wang Yuanwen was both surprised and happy when he saw Zhang San, and shouted: "The third master ran so fast, Daddy was tied up by them, and he is right ahead." Zhang San nodded Head, catch up with lightning.Seeing that he was about to catch up, he only heard "Alas", and the angry man who was carrying Wang Jinting screamed and fell to the ground. Wang Jinting "turned over" and landed on the ground smoothly. This kind of kung fu is chic and bright , Zhang San couldn't help but exclaim when he saw it.It turned out that Ei Nu thought that Wang Jinting was a scholar without martial arts, so he just ran with Wang Jinting on his back.Wang Jinting was full of cunning, and wanted to happily let him rush out of the encirclement with his back on his back.That evil anger just wanted to fight for merit, but he didn't expect that Wang Jinting's throat was locked, and he died immediately.Zhang San lifted off the veil of anger, and saw that he was a very handsome young man. He tore open the young man's clothes, and saw a blue "Hong" character printed on his chest.At this time, Wang Yuanwen also chased after her. She looked her father up and down and asked, "Daddy, are you okay?"

Wang Jinting laughed and said, "It didn't hurt even a hair, let's go back and have a look." The three of them returned to Wang Jinting's mansion, only to see that the gate was open, the house was silent, and the fire in the back garden had also been extinguished, exuding a burning smell. Several people walked into the courtyard, Wang Yuanwen called out several times, but no nurse came out.Walking into the second entrance courtyard, he found two nurses lying on the ground. Wang Jinting bent down to examine the corpses of the nurses carefully, and saw five small holes in the back. He tore off the clothes of the nurses and exclaimed: "The queen mother's comb! It must be that the jade cicada wings have also come." Zhang San saw that there were five clear small black holes printed on the white back of the nurse.

They groped forward again, and found some other corpses of guards and handymen in the house, courtyard and back garden, a total of 21 corpses, with the queen mother's comb marks on their bodies.Zhang San felt cold all over when he saw it.Wang Jinting said: "The nursing home is dead, only me and the third master set off together." Wang Yuanwen said: "I will go too! Protect daddy with the third master." Wang Jinting said: "No, you are a daughter's house, and it is not convenient on the road You can’t go.” Wang Yuanwen burst into tears and said, “I’m really worried in the capital, Daddy, you’d better let me go!” Zhang San also persuaded: “Since she insists on going, let her go.” You can let her dress up as a man." Wang Jinting listened, stayed for a while, shed tears, and said to Wang Yuanwen: "You are the only one in our Wang family. Your mother died early. Before she died, she specially told me to take your How can I be worthy of your mother who is under the cold spring!" Wang Yuanwen sobbed: "Father, then I won't go, you can go with the third master, I hope you will come back safely "Wang Yuanwen walked up to Zhang San again, knelt down with a "plop" and said, "Master, I entrusted my father to you, please take care of yourself." Zhang San helped Wang Yuanwen up, and said, "With me, Zhang San, With your father here, and with your father here, the people of Zhejiang have hope!" Wang Yuanwen said again: "The third master should drink less on the road, so as not to cause trouble after drinking." Zhang San laughed out loud when he heard it, and said : "I'm a strange person. When I drink, I get airy. If I don't drink, I lose my energy. I have two catties of liquor, and I usually don't drink muddled. Don't worry!" Wang Yuanwen complained: "People are kind enough to persuade You!" Zhang San nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, just listen to Miss."

The east spit out fish belly white, and a round of red sun was rising slowly. Zhang San and Wang Jinting in disguise set out on the road. After walking for five days, the road was safe and sound. On the sixth day, Zhang San protected Wang Jinting and came to Tianjin.It was the first time for Zhang San to come back to Tianjin, and he saw people coming and going in an endless stream, no less than in Beijing.It’s just that the style of Tianjin is different from that of Beijing. Beijing is the capital of five dynasties, with palaces and palaces, red walls and green tiles, towering ancient trees, and many pavilions, while Tianjin’s houses are simple and sloppy, with crooked alleys and only towering foreign houses in the concession; Tianjin is an important commercial port in the north. There are many stalls along the river, and the sound of shouting is endless.

Zhang San and Wang Jinting walked up to the bridge and looked at the surging sea water, which was illuminated by the sun and glowed like fish scales. Fishing boats moored on the bank were swaying here and there.Some of the fishermen chatted together, some were busy mending their fishing nets, some smoked from fishing boats, and babies were crying.Zhang San knows that Tianjin is a place where martial arts heroes hide dragons, crouch tigers, and tigers occupy dragons. There are many martial arts heroes, such as Han Muxia, Zhang Zhankui, Li Cunyi, Huo Yuanjia, etc., are first-class martial artists.

The two walked to Haiguang Temple by the Qiangzi River, looking for a small hotel to rest.I saw a factory in the temple. At the gate of the factory, a peddler in his fifties was selling peanuts with a basket.At this time, five strong men came up to buy peanuts.The peddler weighed the peanuts for them, and the gang coaxed them to grab all the peanuts in the basket.The peddler said anxiously: "My family has an 80-year-old mother, wife and children, and I make a living selling peanuts. You robbed me and told my family to drink northwest wind?" The group ignored him, Run into the factory and hide.The peddler went to the factory gate to ask someone for money, but the porter beat and scolded him and kicked him out. The peddler sat down on the ground and burst into tears. At this time, a strong man passed by here, he stepped forward to help the peddler up, and asked, "Why are you crying?" The peddler recounted the situation in detail.When the strong man heard this, he was furious and said to the peddler, "Come on, follow me to ask for money!"The brawny man said: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. If they don't give you money, you'll just scold the street, and I'll take care of it alone if something goes wrong." Only then did the peddler build up his courage, and went to the factory gate to ask for money, but the concierge ignored him as usual, so the peddler started to curse at the street with his voice open.The concierge caught fire and shouted: "You are so brave, you dare to swear at others, come on, come and beat this poor boy!" The big men are all members of the factory guard team.Seeing that the situation was not good, the peddler turned around and ran away.The strong man took the first step and stopped everyone from reasoning.Those people ignored him and went straight to the hawker.The strong man shot very quickly, and knocked down three people as soon as he stretched out his hand, so everyone surrounded the strong man, you punched, I kicked, and attacked the strong man.The strong man has flexible footwork, dodges here and there, retreats while fighting, and retreats to the Qiangzi River. In this way, he no longer faces the enemy from four sides, but forms a formation to deal with the enemy on three sides, so as to counterattack. Seeing that the strong man is an expert, Zhang San secretly praised him, but he didn't know what kind of boxing he was using.The brawny man was full of energy, and he became more and more courageous as he fought more and more. He used his housekeeping skills. I saw him pointing east and west, swaying left and right, and in the blink of an eye, three or four of the group fell down again.At this time, someone returned to the factory and called many people, all of whom were holding foreign guns.It turned out that this was a civilian factory run by foreigners.When the strong man saw it, he immediately took off his clothes and used it as a weapon, using his bare hands to seize the white blade.The six-foot-long barrel of the gun fell out of the hand when it was wrapped up in the clothes.The strong man took all the gun barrels and threw them into the river.These guys were dumbfounded, and they didn't dare to make a move.Someone called the manager out, and the manager took off his glasses and glared at the group of people: "What are you messing around with! Don't you know him? This is Xiao Nanhe's fourth master Huo Yuanjia! Hurry up!" Live!" Zhang San heard the word "Huo Yuanjia" from the steward, and looked at the strong man carefully. A pair of blue twill knickerbockers, a pair of thin-soled kicked cow-nosed shoes, and eager eyes. This person is Huo Yuanjia, he is a master of Mizong Quan, from Jinghai County, Tianjin. Because of his infirmity since he was a child, his father Huo Endi did not let him learn martial arts; The family has lost the art, and benefited from the inner strength, and participated in various schools, and the kung fu has reached perfection.He is thirty-six years old this year. He runs a medicine store in Tianjin and has disciples Chen Zhen, Liu Zhensheng and others.Huo Yuanjia is not only well-known throughout the country for his martial arts character, but also defeated Russian wrestlers, Westerners Obi Yin and Dongying martial arts, and is even more famous in Jiuzhou. At that moment, Huo Yuanjia narrated what had happened, and demanded the factory protection team to compensate the hawker, and the managers did so one by one. The hawker thanked Huo Yuanjia and left happily. Huo Yuanjia was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhang San.Zhang Sandao: "Fourth Master Huo stay here." Huo Yuanjia looked back, saw a businessman and a tall man, asked: "What's the matter?" Zhang San asked: "I asked Fourth Master Huo about someone."
