Chapter 77
Song Sigong said: "Second brother, you can't go!" Zhao Zhengdao: "How can I not go to Tokyo?" Song Sigong said: "There are three things, you can't go. First, you are from the right side of Zhejiang and don't know about Tokyo. Few people in the academy recognize you, so who do you go to? Second, the Baibashililuo City in Tokyo is called "City of Crouching Cow". We are just grassroots bandits. As the saying goes: "Grass enters the mouth of a cow, and its life is not long." Third, there are [-] people in Tokyo who are smart and quick to do business, and three of them are catching envoys." Zhao Zhengdao: "These three things are all right! Master, just don't worry, Zhao Zheng will not get lost indiscriminately. "Song Sigong said: "Second brother, if you don't believe me, when I was going to Tokyo, I found a bag of soft meat from Zhang Yuanwai, the forbidden soul. When you find mine, you can go to Tokyo." Zhao Zheng said, "Master, you might as well be here." After the two said it, Song Sigong paid back the money for the wine and took Zhao Zheng back to the inn.Seeing Song Sigong returning with an official, the waiter in the shop sang this song.Zhao Zheng and Song Sigong went into the room for a while, told them how to arrange, and Zhao Zheng went by himself.It's getting late at the moment, how can you see it?Evening smoke fascinates Yuanxiu, and the mist rolls into the clear sky.The stars compete for glory together with the bright moon, and the distant water and the mountains compete with each other.In the ancient temple in the deep forest, several bells sound melodiously; on the small boat on the winding bank, the fishing lights are on and off at several points.The cuckoo on the branch sings the night moon, and the white butterfly sits in the fragrant cluster among the flowers.Seeing that it was getting late, Song Sigong thought to himself: "Zhao Zheng is a tall man, and I will be his master. If he really eats him, he will be so soft and delicious! It's better to go to bed early." Song Sigong was about to sleep, He was also afraid of what would happen to Zhao Zhenglai, so he only put a bag of soft food next to his head, and lay down on the bed.I could only hear the knowing calls from the roof beams, Song Sigong said: "It's a mischief, the mice came out to make troubles before they started to watch." .When I was young, the mouse didn't make a sound, only heard two cats biting and squawking, slipped some urine, and it was dripping in Song Sigong's mouth, it was so embarrassing!Song Sigong gradually became sleepy and fell asleep.

When I woke up tomorrow, the soft bag disappeared from my head.I didn't make any adjustments there, only to see the waiter in the shop say, "Elder-in-law, the officials who came with Eunuch last night came to meet each other." When Song Sigong came out to see, it was Zhao Zheng.Let's bow to each other and invite him into the room.After closing the door, Zhao Zheng took out a bag from his arms and returned it to Master.Song Sigong said: "Second brother, let me ask you a question. The wall and the door have never been moved, but where did you come from and begged for my bag?" Zhao Zhengdao: "I can't hide it from Master, in the room in front of the bed There is a window with black oil paper sills, paste the study paper. Eat me first on the house, learn from mice, take off the house dust, it will be my monster medicine, sprinkle it in your eyes and nose, I will teach you how to beat it Spray; cat urine in the back is my urine." Song Sigong said: "Bastard, you are so unreasonable!" Zhao Zhengdao: "It is to eat. I will put it in front of your door, take off the study paper, and put the small saw Saw the two window grilles down. I will go in, go to your bedside, steal the bag, and then go out of the window. Fix the window grilles, nail the small nails, and put the school books The paper is blurred. Here, there is no trace." Song Sigong said: "Okay, okay! You made it, but it's not that you will be there. If you find my bag again tonight, I will say that you will." Zhao Zheng said: "It's okay, it's easy." Zhao Zheng returned the bag to Song Sigong and said, "Master, I'll go back and see you tomorrow." He waved his hands and went away.

Song Sigong didn't say it when he said it, but thought in his stomach: "Zhao Zhengshou is as tall as me, and this time I eat him again and found a bag. The more ugly it is, it's better to arrange a rest!" Brother, I want to do it now. Two hundred yuan is here, I trouble you to buy [-] yuan for meat, ask for more salt and pepper; buy [-] yuan for steamed cakes. The remaining [-] yuan, I will buy a bowl of wine with you." The waiter thanked the father-in-law , I went to Mo County to buy meat and steamed cakes.But when he came back, there was a tea house about ten houses away from the inn, and an official called, "Second Brother Dian, where are you going?" When the second brother Dian looked up, he was an official who knew Song Sigong.The second brother in the shop said: "Speak to the officials, my father-in-law is going to teach men and women to buy boiled meat and steam cakes." Zhao Zhengdao: "Let's take a look." He opened the lotus leaf and took a look, and asked, "How much money is here?" Meat?" The shop's second brother said: "[-] yuan for meat." Zhao Zheng took out [-] yuan from his arms and said, "brother, you keep this steamed meat cake here. I will share with you [-] yuan. Buy it with me like this, and buy wine with my brother for fifty dollars." The second brother in the shop said: "Thank you, officer." After saying that, he went.After a while, I bought it back.Zhao Zhengdao: "I am very troublesome brother, and I wrapped the meat again with my father-in-law. When I see my father-in-law, I will tell him, just teach him to be careful tonight." The second brother of the store sang, and went.Go to the inn and return the meat and steamed cakes to Song Sigong.Song Sigong took it and said: "I'm guilty of brother." The second brother of the store said: "The official who came in the morning, taught me to tell you again and again: Be careful tonight."

Song Sigong arranged the luggage, paid back the rent, lay down with a bundle of quilts on his back, and held the bundle in his hand. He just found the softness of Zhang Yuan, and left the inn.It's more than a mile to go, take the road to Bajiao Town.When I arrived at the ferry, I saw that the ferry was on the other side. I couldn't wait, and I was hungry. I sat on the ground, put a soft bag in front of me, unwrapped the meat, broke a steamed pancake, and put four or five pieces of fat bottom. Dip the meat in some salt and pepper and roll it into a roll.After chewing twice, I saw that the sky was below and the earth was above, so it fell down there.When Song Sigong saw a man dressed as a Chengju, he put a soft bag in front of him.Song Sigong watched him go, but he couldn't call or drive him away, so he had to let him go.The Cheng Bureau took the bag and went to the transition first.

Song Sigong woke up when he was diverse, and thought: "Who is the prime minister, and take my bag? The second brother of the store and I bought a monster in the meat!" Song Sigong walked up swallowing his anger and called the ferry over.After crossing the ferry, I went ashore and thought, "Where should I go to find the prime minister?" Feeling stuffy and hungry, I saw a village hotel, but I saw: the chai gate was half closed, and the dilapidated door was drooping.How do you know that there are washing utensils similar to those in the village to measure wine?It is difficult for a humble silkworm to follow the example of the Lozhuo family.Large characters on the wall, the village's pedants learn about drunkenness; put the sackcloth on the shelf, and drink manglang and leave it as a pawn.Sour fermented urns break the soil bed rows, colored paintings are drunk and the dust is dark.Song Sigong went to the hotel and bought some wine to relieve his worries.The bartender sang, and ordered the drinks.Two cups for one cup, three cups for wine.Song Sizheng was drinking in boredom, and saw a woman outside entering the hotel: oily hair and noodles, white teeth and red lips.The brocade pats the eyebrows, and the skirt covers the ground.Some flowers are inserted obliquely on the sideburns, and there is a slight smile on his face.Although she is not as beautiful as a boudoir, she is still a young woman with a head.The woman entered the hotel, wished Song Sigong a happy birthday, clapped her hands and sang a song.

When Song Sigong took a closer look, some faces were familiar, and he said that this woman was cleaning the table in the hotel, so please sit down with the young lady.The woman sat down at the base of Song Sigong, taught him to add a cup of wine, and ate a cup of wine.Song Sigong hugged the woman, pinched her, patted her to cherish, touched her chest and said, "Little lady, don't you have a baby?"Song Sigong said: "Relao, who are you?" The woman dressed as a woman kept her arms crossed and said, "Donggong, I am not the old man of Zhuo Er, but I am Zhao Zheng of Pingjiang Prefecture, Suzhou." Sigong said: "The inspector who hit the spine! I am your master, but I taught me to touch your grandfather's head! It turns out that you are the one who is in charge!" Zhao Zhengdao: "You know it is Zhao Zheng." Song Sigong said: "Two Brother, where do you put my soft bag?" Zhao Zheng called to measure the wine and said, "Send me the bag here and return it to my father-in-law." Measure the wine and take the bag, and Song Sigong took it and said: " Second brother, why did you take this bag from me?" Zhao Zhengdao: "I was sitting on the floor in a tea house a few doors down from the inn, and I saw the second brother in the shop carrying a package of raw meat, so I asked him to come with me Go to buy it, I put some sweat medicine in it, and I still teach him to take it with you. I will make up for you, and I will come to you later. You have eaten a lot, and I will take the bag, and wait here You." Song Sigong said: "You really deserve to go to Tokyo." Immediately paid back the money for the drink, the two of them went out of the hotel together, went to the open field to remove flowers, washed their faces in the stream, and changed into a man. When the clothes are on, take a single green gauze scarf and wrap it up.Song Sigong said: "You are going to Beijing now. I will write a letter to you to meet a man, who is also my junior brother. He lives on the bank of the Bian River and sells steamed buns made of human flesh. His surname is Hou and his name is Xing. The second is Hou. Second brother." Zhao Zhengdao: "Thank you, master." In the tea house ahead, Song Sigong wrote a book, distributed it to Zhao Zheng, and said goodbye.Song Sigong lived freely in Mo County.Zhao Zhengzheng went to rest in the inn at night, and when he opened Song Sigong's book to read it, it read: "Master believes in Shangxian, junior brother Erlang and Erniangzi: will you be happy after goodbye? Today there is a thief from Gusu, Zhao Zheng, who wants to come to Beijing to do it." For business, I specially asked him to come to you. This man is ruthless to the academy, and he is a man of integrity, so he can be used as a licensed product in your family. I have criticized him for being rude three times, but I must definitely eliminate this person, so as not to cause future troubles for our academy." Zhao Zheng just read the book, sticking out his tongue, unable to retract. "Others are afraid and dare not go. Let me see how he treats me. I have no reason." Then fold the book, as if it was sealed before.

At dawn tomorrow, leave the inn and take Bajiao Town; pass Bajiao Town, take Banqiao, and go to Chenliu County.Walking along the Bian River to around the middle of the day, I saw a steamed bun shop on the bank of the Bian River.A woman in front of the door, with a Yujing handkerchief stretched around her waist, shouted: "Master guest, go eat steamed buns and snacks." The sign in front of the door reads: "Our Hou's family, first-class steamed buns and snacks." Zhao Zhengdao: "Here It's Hou Xing's house." Going in.The woman called Wanfu and asked, "Does the guest have some snacks?" Zhao Zhengdao: "If you wait less, you will have one." He took the package off his back.A pack of gold and silver hairpins, some with flower heads, some in a row, and some plain, were all found along the road.When Hou Xing's wife saw it, she became tempted, and said: "The chief guest has two or three hundred hairpins! Although I sell steamed buns made of human flesh, and my husband praises Lao Tzu, I don't have many things. You see, I rarely ask me to buy steamed buns to eat." , I will sweat more, many of the hairpins are mine." Zhao Zhengdao: "Sister-in-law, buy five steamed buns." Hou Xing's wife said: "Here!" Last a plate, put five steamed buns, and then Put more materials in the stove top.Zhao Zheng said in his stomach: "In this case, we are doing monster things." Zhao Zheng took out a pack of medicine from his arms and said, "Sister-in-law, find some cold water to take medicine." Hou Xing's wife brought half a bowl of water and put it on on the table.Zhao Zhengdao: "I took the medicine, but I ate steamed buns." After Zhao Zheng took the medicine, he moved two chopsticks, removed the stuffing of the steamed buns, took a look, and said, "Sister-in-law, my grandfather said to me:' Don't go to the bank of the Bian River to buy steamed buns to eat, they are all made of human flesh.' Sister-in-law, look, this piece has nails, which are human fingers; there are many short hairs on this piece of skin, which must be the inconvenience of people." Hou Xing The wife said: "Officials don't play! That's what you say?" Zhao Zheng ate the steamed buns, only to hear the woman say in front of the stove: "That's right!" He hoped to show Zhao Zheng, but there was nothing wrong.Zhao Zhengdao: "Sister-in-law, add five more." Hou Xing's wife said: "I think it's just that I sweat less, so I poured more medicine into it." Zhao Zhengdao: "Middle." Take the bag again, Take some medicine.Hou Xing's wife said: "What kind of medicine do the officials take?" It's good to eat." Hou Xing's wife said: "As long as the officials can find one to eat." Zhao Zheng went to his bosom to change the buns, took a hundred pills and ate them with Hou Xing's wife, and went to the stove. .Zhao Zhengdao: "This woman wants to treat me, but she just wants to eat me. Others go, but I don't leave." She untied her waist to catch lice.

Not long after, I saw someone pick a load of things and return.Zhao Zhengdao: "This is Hou Xing. Let's see how he is?" Hou Xing and Zhao Zheng both sang.Hou Xing said: "Have you eaten any snacks?" Zhao Zheng said: "Have you eaten?" Phlegm slipped out of her mouth, her words were insincere, and she murmured: "I'm playing tricks." Hou Xing said: "I can understand it. This woman doesn't know acquaintances in the world. Could it be that she's playing tricks with the guest in front of the door? "Hou Xing said to Zhao Zheng: "Brother Fa, my wife is blind, I don't know Brother Fa, and I hope to forgive my sin." Zhao Zhengdao: "Brother Gao's surname?" It's Gusu Zhaozheng." The two bowed to each other.Hou Xing took the antidote with his wife.Zhao Zhengdao: "Second brother, Master Song Sigong has a book to submit." Hou Xing then opened it and read it. There were many words written in the book, and at the end he said: "This person can be wiped out." Aroused in the heart, evil came to the gallbladder, and said: "Master has been rude three times, and his life must have been ruined tonight!" He said to Zhao Zheng, "I have heard about Qingde for a long time, and I am lucky to meet you!" Immediately put wine on each other.After dinner, Zhao Zheng was arranged to sleep in the guest room, while Hou Xing and his wife did night work in front of the door.

Zhao Zheng could only smell a bad smell in the room, and he searched for it, and there was a big vat under the bed.Touch it with your hand, and you will find a human head; touch it again, and you will find a human hand and a human foot.Zhao Zheng moved out of the back door, tied the ropes and hung them on the eaves of the back door.Close the back door and enter the room again.I only heard the woman say: "Second brother, is it easy to start?" Hou Xing said: "Second sister-in-law, I haven't got it yet! Let's wait for him to fall suddenly." The woman said: "Second brother, look at the gold and silver hairpins he brought out today, there are two Three hundred. I'm going to fight him tonight, and tomorrow I'll make it a headband and teach people to sing." Zhao Zheng heard it and said, "That's good! The two of them want to fight for my life like this, so I might as well get it One of Hou Xing's sons, about ten years old, called Brother Ban, had a fit of spleen-cold and fell ill on the bed.Zhao Zheng went to his room, put the little one on Zhao Zheng's bed, covered him with the quilt, and walked out the back door first.

Not long after, Hou Xing's family was holding a bowl of lamps. Hou Xing pushed open the door of Zhao Zheng's room with a large ax for chopping wood, and saw a man sleeping there under the quilt.Hou Xingjie was taken to have a look, and shouted: "It's hard! Second sister-in-law, it was my son, Brother Brother, who killed me!" The couple burst into tears.Zhao Zheng shouted at the back door: "Why did you commit suicide son? Zhao Zheng is here." Hou Xing became anxious when he heard this, and picked up the wood-chopping ax to chase Zhao Zheng away.He hurried out of the back door, only to bump into Hou Xing's forehead, but when he saw it, he saw human heads, human feet, and human hands hanging on the eaves, which looked like poles.Hou Xingjiao's family all moved in and went straight up to catch up.When Zhao Zheng saw him coming to chase, there was a group of streams in front of him. Zhao was from Pingjiang Mansion. He knew how to make water and jumped into the stream.Zhao Zheng kicked and kicked, and crossed the opposite bank in an instant.Hou Xing also knows how to drink water, so he came a little later.Zhao Zheng walked ashore first, took off his clothes and squeezed to dry.Hou Xing chased Zhao Zheng, from around four o'clock to five o'clock, for eleven or twelve miles, until he arrived at a bathhouse in Xinzheng Gate, Shuntian.Zhao Zheng went into the bathroom to wash his face and dry his clothes together.While he was washing his face, he saw a man beat Zhao Zheng's legs with both hands, and Zhao Zheng was beaten.When Zhao Zheng saw Hou Xing coming to restrain him, he threw Fan Hou Xing, who had two bald knees, on the ground, and only wanted to beat him.I saw an old man dressed up in the courtyard of the prison family coming forward and saying: "You can let go in front of me." When Zhao Zheng and Hou Xing looked up, it was none other than Master Song Sigong.The whole family sings a big song, and bows straight down.Song Sigong persuaded him, and took the two of them to a soup shop to have a cup of soup.Hou Xing and his master talked about many things before, and Song Sigong said: "Nothing can be discussed now. It is the second brother Zhao who went to Tokyo in the Ming Dynasty, under the golden beam bridge. A seller of sour stuffing is also our courtyard. His surname is Wang. Famous show. This man has gone so far that he can't compete in the pavilions, so he gave him a nickname, "Sick Cat". His family lives in the courtyard behind the Daxiangguo Temple. There is a big gold silk jar on his sour stuffing stand, which is Dingzhou's Zhongshan Fu kiln was burnt out, and he seems to be dying. How do you get him?" Zhao Zhengdao: "It's okay. When the city gate is opened, around the middle of the day, ask the master to stay only at Hou Xing's place. "
