Chapter 171 Nian Yang 2

Wu Sheng, the county seat, courtesy name An Ren, thirty widows, living alone in the study. One day, a scholar visited him and talked happily with him, so he became a confidant. The scholar's servant, the devil's head, also got along well with Wu Shengshu and the children's newspaper, and the two get along well. After a long time, he found that the ghost head was not a human, but a fox demon. Every time Wu Sheng traveled far away, he must bring the ghost head with him. The master and servant lived in the same room. The ghost head and the dragon disappeared. If he didn't want to, outsiders couldn't see him at all.

Once, Wu Sheng returned to his hometown from the capital. On the way, he heard that Wang Zixun had encountered the disaster of Nianyang. He secretly told the book boy: Be more careful and be prepared. The ghost smiled and said, "It's not necessary. There is no disadvantage in this trip." A group of people came to Zhuozhou and saw a man sitting in a restaurant with luxurious clothes. Wu Sheng passed in front of the store, and the man got up and followed him. Talking to each other, the man said, "Shandong people, surnamed Huang, is an official in the Ministry of Household. Now that he has returned to his hometown, he has to go with the prince. He is very happy, and the journey should not be lonely."

The two accompanied each other all the way. Whenever they ate, the man rushed to pay. Wu Sheng was grateful on the surface, but secretly became suspicious. He asked the ghost in private, "Is Huang reliable?" The ghost said, "It doesn't matter." When Wu Sheng heard this, he was relieved. At dusk, the two came to an inn to stay overnight. A beautiful teenager in the store seemed to be staying overnight.

Huang entered the store and bowed his hand to the teenager. He looked very happy and asked, "When did you leave the capital?" The teenager replied, "Yesterday." Huang took him by the hand and said, "Don't go tonight. Sleep with me." The teenager smiled and nodded. Huang turned to Wu Sheng and said, "This Shi Lang is my cousin and a scribe. Tonight, the three of us will talk about poetry at night. While talking, he took out the broken silver and ordered the second dozen wine and cooking.

If it's not over, the banquet will be served, and the three of them will raise their glasses and drink together. The young man is unrestrained and talented. He met Wu Sheng late and was extremely opinative. During the banquet, the teenager frequently winctued at Wu Sheng, suggesting that when he was drinking, he might as well cheat, so as to play tricks on Huang and punish him for drinking. Whenever Huang was punished, the teenager applauded and laughed. Seeing this, Wu Sheng loved it more and more.

Then the teenager gambled with Huang and invited Wu Sheng to participate, and each of them made two bets. The ghost secretly told Baoer to lock the doors and windows and said to Wu Sheng, "If you hear the noise, just go to bed and don't pay attention to it." Wu Sheng promised that every time he toll the dice, Wu Sheng lost the small bet, and the big bet would win. In about a few days, more than 200 taels of silver entered the account.

The teenager and Huang were out of gambling and proposed to use horses as collateral. Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the house, and several officials shouted loudly, "Open the door, open the door." Wu Sheng jumped up, threw the dice into the stove, put on the quilt, and pretended to sleep with his head covered. I faintly heard the shopkeeper's voice: "Guys, I can't find the key and can't open the door." An official said, "No key? Then come tough, brothers, smash the door." Then there were a few loud shocks, and the door stitch fell off. Four or five strong men broke into the house. They were aggressive and said, "Just now, someone reported that someone gathered to gamble here. Is there such a thing?"

The teenager and Huang shook their heads together and said, "There is absolutely no such thing." An official reached out and pulled up the quilt, pointed to Wu Sheng and shouted, "Do you dare to deny it? This man is a gambler at first glance. Wu Sheng scolded angrily, "If there is no real evidence to catch the thief and the stolen goods, don't wrong the good man."

The officials were quite unreasonable and shouted to search for Wu Sheng's package. Wu Sheng tried his best to resist, but he was alone. When he couldn't resist it, he suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums outside the house. It seemed that the government passed by. Wu Sheng shouted for help. The "officials" showed fear and forcibly dragged him into the house and begged. He said, "If you have something to say, don't say anything, don't say anything."

Wu Sheng snorted coldly, calmly took some packages and gave them to the shopkeeper for safekeeping. When the government went away, several swindlers dared to go out and left in frustration. Huang and the teenager pretended to be surprised and looked for a place to sleep. Huang proposed to let the teenager sleep with Wu Sheng. Wu Sheng pressed the money bag under the pillow, laid the quilt, and went to bed to rest. The teenager also got into the quilt and was naked. He threw himself into Wu Sheng's arms and whispered, "I admire you for your upright, and I'm willing to make out with you." Wu Sheng knew that there was fraud, but he was originally a lustful person. He accepted both men and women. It was rare for a teenager to take the initiative to devote himself. Now he will make a plan and have a good time with him.

The young man flattered, but he didn't expect that Wu Sheng was a great man with outstanding ability. After a fight, he gradually couldn't help but beg for mercy. Wu Sheng ignored it and still attacked him. It was not until he was satisfied that the young man's legs were bleeding, so he let him go.

At dawn the next day, the teenager was too tired to get out of bed. He sighed, "I'm going to get sick. You two go first. Don't have to wait for me." Wu Sheng was funny and didn't break it. He left a few taels of silver indiscriminately and said, "If you are sick, you have to see a doctor. Take this money to buy medicine." On the way, he chatted with the ghost head and learned that he pretended to be the official guard last night.

Along the way, Huang flattered and treated Wu's ecology with great respect. In the evening, the guest room is very narrow, with only one bed, but although the place is small, it is warm and clean. Wu Sheng disliked that the wooden bed was too narrow. Huang said, "It's a little crowded for two people to sleep, but it's more than enough for the prince to sleep alone. What's the harm?" After dinner, Huang said goodbye and left. Wu Sheng was happy to sleep alone, so that he could chat with his fox friends.

I sat down for a long time, but I didn't see the ghost coming. Suddenly, he heard the sound of finger tapping from the small door between the walls. Wu Sheng opened the door and checked. He saw a gorgeous girl outside the house. She walked into the bedroom, opened the doorknob with her backhand, and smiled at him. The girl was as beautiful as a fairy. Wu Sheng was moved at first sight. Asked, "Who is the girl?" The girl said, "I'm the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law."

Wu Sheng's heart was itchy. He reached out to untie the girl's clothes. The two were lingering and were extremely happy. After that, the girl burst into tears. Wu Sheng asked, "Why does the beauty cry?" The girl said, "The cheap concubine fell in love with the prince at first sight and couldn't bear to bully each other. In fact, I was ordered by the shopkeeper to seduce the prince. Once we go to bed, the shopkeeper will come to catch the traitor and take the opportunity to extort. This set of strategies has been used many times, and it has been tried many times, but I don't know why tonight, I haven't seen the shopkeeper come for a long time? Speaking of this, her voice choked and begged, "The cheap concubine was originally a good woman. She was threatened by the shopkeeper and cheated people out of money. Please save me from the sea of suffering."

When Wu Sheng heard the words, he was frightened and shocked. He was helpless for a moment and said, "You go back first and let me find a way slowly." The woman didn't listen, just bowed her head and cried. Suddenly, Huang and the shopkeeper tried their best to beat the door, and their voices were boiling. Huang shouted outside the door, "I thought Brother Wu was a gentleman, so you served him carefully all the way. Unexpectedly, you hid your evil heart and seduced my sister-in-law. Humph, I'm not done with you."

Wu Sheng was afraid and urged the girl: "Come on, come on." There was also a knock outside the small door. Wu Sheng sweated like rain, and the girl kept crying. Hearing that someone outside the house persuaded him to fight, the shopkeeper ignored it, and the door was more and more urgent. The person who persuaded him said, "Master, what on earth do you want to do?" If we want to kill people, we must not stand by. If one of the two escapes and there is no proof of death, what will he say when he is guilty? If you want to complain to the government, as the saying goes, the family ugliness can't be publicized, and your daughter-in-law steals people. Isn't your face very glorious? Why insult yourself? Besides, people with discerning eyes can see that this is obviously a case of culning together. Who can guarantee that the girl will not confess?

The shopkeeper opened his mouth and couldn't speak. Wu Sheng was even more grateful and admired, and thought, "I don't know who is the brother who persuades you to fight? This person is articulate and amazing. Looking at the cracks in the window, I couldn't help laughing. It turned out that it was not someone else who persuaded me to fight, but a ghost. At this moment, he pretended to be a scholar, but he was also polite.

It turned out that the ghost had already understood Huang's conspiracy, so he dressed up as a scholar and came to the store. Carrying good wine with him, he deliberately invited the shopkeeper to drink with Huang. When Wu Sheng and the girl were lingering, Huang and the shopkeeper were ready to catch treachery, but they were dragged by the ghost's head and had no time to pull out. They stole the chicken and did not eat the rice, which made the scholar ecstasy for nothing.

Later, the two escaped from the gap and immediately picked up the wooden stick and rushed to Wu Sheng's residence. Wu Sheng saw that the shopkeeper was a little angry, so he threatened: "Old man, your colleagues have been persuaded by me and intend to testify against you. If you see an official, you can't eat it. Listen to my advice and be private." He said to the girl again, "You should say something."

The girl cried and said, "I hate that I am disappointing. I have been forced by the shopkeeper and have done a lot of bad things. Life is not as good as death." When the shopkeeper heard the words, his face was like dead ashes. The ghost scolded, "The behavior of animals and other animals has been exposed. This is what everyone has seen with their own eyes, and people and gods are angry." Huang and the shopkeeper looked depressed and had no choice but to put down the knife and stick and knelt down to plead guilty. Wu Sheng was unreasonable, opened the door and came out, shouting and scolding.

The ghosts were in the middle of the mediation, and the two sides finally reconciled. The girl was crying, and several maids pulled her back. The girl would rather die than return and wailed on the ground. The ghost persuaded the shopkeeper: "That's it. It's better to cook cooked rice with raw rice. It's better to be a favor and sell the woman to Wu Sheng as a concubine." The shopkeeper bowed his head and said, "The thirty old lady is a child. I have nothing to say. It's okay to marry a girl. One hundred taels of silver is not enough. Wu Sheng said, "Thirty taels, do you want it or not? Don't pull it down." The ghost smiled and said, "How about one person giving way and fifty taels to make a deal?"

The two nodded.

After the delivery of human wealth, the sky is clear. Wu Sheng packed up and saluted and took the girl on the road together. The girl has never ridden a horse, and she feels quite uncomfortable on the journey. At noon, the group was resting by the roadside. Wu Sheng called the name of the book boy, but there was no answer. He really didn't know where he had gone.

The sun sets in the west, and there is still no news from the book boy. He asked the fox friend about his whereabouts. The ghost said, "Don't worry, he will be back soon." As soon as the words fell, I only heard a ssh, and the ghost disappeared. It was not until the moon was empty that the newspaper came back and asked where he had gone. He replied, "The prince offered fifty taels to buy a concubine, and he was obviously killed. I was very upset. At noon, I thought about it with the devil and decided to take a breath for you and help you get back. While talking, he took out a lot of silver ingots from his arms and put them on the table.

Wu Sheng asked, "Why did you come back?"

It turned out that the ghost found out that the girl had a brother who had been out and had not been home for more than ten years. So he changed into his appearance and asked Baoer to pretend to be a young girl's brother, and the two came to the shopkeeper to ask for someone. The shopkeeper was very frightened and lied that the girl was dead. The two of them made a plan and said that they wanted to report to the official. The shopkeeper became more and more afraid and expressed his willingness to pay privately. They bargained, and finally calmed the matter with forty taels of silver. The two of them made a plan and returned happily.

The newspaper told the original story. Wu Sheng was overjoyed and said with a smile, "You have contributed a lot to this matter. I will give you these forty taels of silver."

After Wu Sheng returned home, he was in harmony with the girl, and his family became richer and richer. After asking the woman carefully, she knew that the beautiful teenager Shi was her husband. It turned out that Shi was Jin, with many party members, and the shopkeeper was also one of his accomplices. Previously, this group of people successfully deceived Wang Zixun, but it was also a pleasure to fall into the hands of Wu Sheng this time.

As the old saying goes: a good rider falls on a horse, a good swimmer drowns in water, and a good fighter dies in a soldier. It's true.
