Chapter 224 Powerful General

Cha Yi-hung, a native of Zhejiang. During the Qingming Festival, I passed by a temple and went in to enjoy it. I saw a huge clock in the hall, weighing no more than a thousand pounds. There are scratches on the giant clock, leaving fingerprints. Cha Yijuon was suspicious: "Who has such magical power to catch fingerprints on the iron clock?" Looking down, I saw a bamboo basket in the clock, with a diameter of several feet and a volume of eight liters. I don't know what the use is.

Cha Yijuan was curious and immediately commanded his men to "lift the clock and take a closer look."

Seven or eight servants rushed up and worked together to lift it, but the dragonfly shook the stone pillar, and the huge bell did not move. Cha Yixuan became more and more terrified. He sat on the ground and drank while waiting for his master to return.

After a long time, a beggar walked slowly into the temple, with a broken bowl in his hand and a large bowl of rice. The beggar stretched out his left hand, grabbed the bell ring, and gently lifted it. The bell was a few feet away from the ground. The beggar smiled and poured the rice in the bowl into the bamboo basket. He did not look at everyone. He put down the clock again and turned away.

Four times like this, the rice piled up in the bamboo basket. The beggar rolled up his sleeves, lifted the huge clock with his left hand, put his right hand into the bamboo basket, grabbed the rice with his hand, swallowed it, ate the rice clean in an instant, reached out to wipe his lips, and burped. Seeing that he was amazingly powerful and had a huge amount of food, Cha Yihu asked, "Your good man, why do you beg?"

The beggar smiled and said, "I eat like a cow. I eat too much. No one dares to hire me." Cha Yi-hshen advised, "Your Excellency, why don't you join the army?" The beggar sighed, "It's a pity that there is no way." Cha Yi-jo said, "Don't worry about this. I'll figure it out." Now ask the beggar to go home together, put on new clothes and shoes for him, and treat him well.

Beggars have a good appetite, and the amount of food is five or six times that of ordinary people. After staying for a few days, Cha Yijuan took out fifty taels of gold and gave it to the beggar. He said, "I have signed up for you to join the army. I'm about to leave." The beggar didn't thank him. He took the silver two and went straight away.

This time, there is no news, and it will be ten years in the blink of an eye.

More than ten years later, Cha Yijuan's nephew took office in Fujian and went to the county magistrate. A general named Wu Liuyi came to visit. The two exchanged names and talked happily. In his words, Wu Liuyi asked, "What is the relationship between the county magistrate and Mr. Za Yijuan?" The nephew said, "Mr. Cha is my uncle. Does the general know him?"

Wu Liuyi: "That's my teacher. I have been separated for more than ten years, and I often miss him. Please send me a message and ask Mr. Cha to come to the humble house to talk about it. The nephew responded vaguely and thought, "My uncle is a famous Confucian. How can his disciple be a martial artist?"

Coincidentally, Cha Yijuan passed by Fujian, and his nephew told the matter in detail. When Cha Yijuan heard the words, his face was confused. He thought left and right, and never knew who Wu Liuyi was. However, seeing that he was very enthusiastic and happy, he immediately prepared his horses and went to Wufu to visit.

Wu Liuyi received the assassination post and went out to greet him in person. Cha Yi-joan stared at him. The man in front of him was ignorant and had no impression. He thought to himself, "The general must have recognized the wrong person."

Wu Liuyi was very respectful. He politely invited Cha Yijuan to his home and turned around three or four doors. Suddenly, he saw the women in the inner room shuttled back and forth. Cha Yijuan knew that it was the general's family, and it was inconvenient for men and women to meet, so he stopped. Wu Liu bowed repeatedly and said, "Sir, I'm not an outsider. Please come in, please come in."

When I came to the hall, I saw that the maids gathered, rolled curtains, moved chairs, poured tea, poured wine, and were all young girls. Cha Yijuan's eyes were dazzled and he must be distracted. Sven sat down in the chair. Just as he was about to ask the origin of Wu Liuyi, General Wu coughed gently and patted his hands. A maid held the official uniform in her hand and respectfully put it on the table.

Wu Liuyi put on his official uniform, and the maidservant tied the buttons for him, put on a belt, and served him carefully. Wu Liuyi looked at Yijuan and said, "I'm offended." As soon as he finished speaking, the two maidservant jumped forward and pressed one of Cha Yijuan's arms, making him unable to move.

Wu Liuyi was upright and solemn, facing Mr. Zha, bowed his knees, knelt down and saluted, just like a minister kowtowed to the emperor and behaved respectfully. Cha Yixuan's face was stunned and he didn't know the reason. After kneeling down, Wu Liuyi put on his casual clothes and smiled, "Sir, don't you remember the beggars in the temple in the past?" Cha Yi's hair suddenly opened, and he suddenly realized.

Then the banquet was full, and the drums were played in the hall. After dinner, Wu Liuyi arranged an accommodation for Cha Yijuan and ordered several concubines to "serve your husband well." Say goodbye and leave.

The next day, Cha Yijuan couldn't afford to sleep because he was drunk. Wu Liuyi greeted him outside the door three times in a row. When Cha Yijuan knew about this, he was uneasy and was ready to leave and return home. Wu Liuyi smiled and refused, took the key, locked the door, and didn't let Mr. Cha leave.

Cha Yijuan had no choice but to live idle in Wufu. Every day, he saw Wu Liuyi count his family property, slaves, mules, horses, clothes and utensils, houses and fields, and registered them one by one. I thought, "This is the general's housework. Don't ask more."

One day, Wu Liu took the account book with one hand and said to Cha Yijuan, "You can't have today's achievements. It's all up to your husband." The property of the family, a maidservant and a thing, dare not enjoy it alone, and I am willing to share it equally with my husband. Cha Yi-joo said, "No, this matter must not happen." Refuse to accept.

Wu Liuyi didn't listen. He took out 10,000 taels of gold, divided it into two, and half of it was given to Mr. Cha. In ancient times, I played with jade, silk and satin, and maid maids, one by one, they were equally divided with Mr. Cha. The servants packed up and saluted, moved their belongings into the carriage, and asked Yijuan to get on the car. The group jumped up their horses and returned to Zhejiang happily.

Later, Cha Yijuan was imprisoned for the Ming history case. Wu Liuyi contributed money to dredge the government, and was finally acquitted.
