Zhang Wenyuan's travel plan was disrupted by Yan Poxi's trouble. He simply went out after lunch. It was already late when he arrived at Chen Sanlang's coffin shop. The sun was shining brightly above our heads, the earth was scorching, and there was no one on the street. The shops had their doors ajar, and people were resting inside.
The wound on Zhang Wenyuan's butt was not healed yet. He walked very slowly and made no sound. When he arrived in front of the coffin shop and was about to go in, he heard someone talking inside. He wanted to go in directly, but he stopped by some strange mistake because he came from inside. I heard his and Yan Poxi's names in the conversation.
Quietly hiding behind an unfinished coffin in the middle of the shop, he heard a woman say, "Ah, Song Yasi is such a good plan. Not only did he get rid of the prostitute, but he also destroyed the house." Everything has been taken back!"
There was only one man and one woman in the room, they must be Chen Sanlang, the owner of the coffin shop, and his wife, and it was probably Chen Sanniang who spoke. Zhang Wenyuan took a sneak look and saw them lying on two large wooden boards with their heads facing out and their feet facing in. They must have been tired from working in the morning and were enjoying the cool weather.
Song Jiang was a generous man, and he liked to help people in need. He often sponsored coffins for people, and over the years he became Chen Sanlang's big customer. Therefore, Chen Sanlang had a good relationship with him, and he would not let anyone slander his reputation, not even his own wife. "What do you know? Song Yasi is a good man who is generous and generous, how can he look down on those three melons and two dates!"
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Chen Sanniang sneered, "You don't know what you know. It's not like I made random suspicions. It was Lei Dutou's aunt Li Sanjie who told me. I went out to buy groceries in the morning and talked to her for a long time."
Chen Sanlang was surprised, "Really?"
The woman said, "Of course it's true. Lei Dutou was drinking at Song Yasi's house last night, and Zhu Dutou was also there. After drinking, he rested at Sister Li San's place for the night. These words were all said by him when he was drunk. . You only know that Song Yasi is a man of justice and wealth, but you forget that he is also a dignified man. Who can bear this? Those three melons and two jujube books are nothing, but the prostitute went too far, and Yasi was furious. He deliberately prevented her from taking away every needle and thread in the room!"
After listening to her analysis, Chen Sanlang quickly understood and said viciously, "This whore deserves to suffer such a punishment!"
Mrs. Chen San said mysteriously again, "Let me tell you one more thing. You think that Zhang San and that prostitute hooked up and became adulterous because they got together. You are wrong! In fact, Song Yasi didn't want to do it for a long time. He wanted that slut, so he deliberately took Zhang San to her place to have a drink, just to let them hook up together. Zhang San didn't realize that he was being set up, and thought he was getting a big deal, but it turned out that I got away with the job and got a lawsuit, it’s really unjust!”
"You silly old bitch, don't talk nonsense!" Chen Sanlang was much more stable than his woman. Seeing that the woman was still showing off triumphantly, he couldn't help but cursed, "It's not like you don't know. Who are they? Why are they still talking nonsense outside? If word gets out, someone will have their tongues cut out!"
"Let me tell you, there are no outsiders here!" Mrs. Chen Sanniang said unconvinced, "You protect Song Yasi like that, do you want to go to Liangshan with him?"
"The more you talk, the more nonsense you get!" Chen Sanlang said viciously, "When did I say that I was going to join the gang? Don't say such nonsense. If someone listens to it, we will be in court!"
"I know... you must be careful!" Mrs. Chen Sanniang snorted, "Humph... what are you afraid of? There is no one in Yuncheng County who is not a thief, so what is there to be afraid of!"
Suddenly hearing such breaking news, Zhang Wenyuan's mind was buzzing. He thought for a long time that he had been plotted by Song Jiang. He was really being sold and still helping to count the money. Today is really an unfortunate day. First, I was dumped by Yan Po, and then I was tricked by Song Jiang. Although modern people have deep routines, the ancients' routines are also very shallow!
Zhang Wenyuan was so angry that he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. You are such a black man. I wasted my time thanking you. I didn’t expect you to use me as your successor. You let me drink your sesame. It’s unbearable. This is unbearable!
Zhang Wenyuan was so angry that he wanted to continue listening, but when he saw a person walking at the end of the alley, he had to retreat quietly.
When he watched "Water Margin" before, he thought this section was very strange. The relationship between the original protagonist and Song Jiang was not very good, but he went to his house to have a drink, and then he deliberately went to the toilet to give them a chance. It turned out that this was all It was Song Jiang's plan to escape from the golden cicada. No wonder the original owner offended him many times, but he tolerated it. The original reason was here.
Zhang Wenyuan felt humiliated and annoyed when he was tricked for no reason. From childhood to adulthood, he always followed the life creed of "I will not offend others unless they offend me, and I will offend others if they offend me." Therefore, even if the person who deceived him was in the late Northern Song Dynasty, He is a big boss in the world, and he will never swallow his anger - this enemy must come back for revenge!
Having made up his mind, he slowly regained his composure. After the man left, he appeared at the door of Chen Sanlang's coffin shop again and shouted loudly, "Is Chen Sanlang here?"
Chen Sanlang quickly climbed up from the board and was surprised when he saw him. He greeted him awkwardly, "Ah, it's Zhang Sanlang. Is your injury healed?"
Zhang Wenyuan stared at him for a few times. Seeing the obvious panic in his eyes, he did not expose it. Instead, he smiled and said, "Well, it's almost better. I'm relieved!"
When Chen Sanlang saw that his expression was as usual, he was relieved and asked with a smile, "I wonder what Sanlang's purpose is in coming here. Is it to make a coffin, for the royal family or for someone else?"
People in this era take things after death very seriously. Giving away coffins and shrouds is an act of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. This is why Song Jiang likes to give away coffins. As soon as Mrs. Wang asked Pan Jinlian to help sew the shroud, she agreed without hesitation. reason. However, Zhang Wenyuan did not come here to do good deeds. He looked around and said solemnly, "I'm not here to carry a coffin. I came to you for other things!"
When Chen Sanlang heard that he had other matters, he was suddenly shocked. He thought that he might not have heard what happened just now. What should he do?
After considering it carefully for a while, she calmed down after seeing that he had no ill intentions, and said with a smile on her face, "Sanlang, please come in!"
Zhang Wenyuan followed him to the courtyard inside. After the guests and hosts were seated, he said straight to the point, "I met a good man in prison two days ago. This man's surname is Liu Minghan. He claims to be the disciple of Liu Tang, the leader of Liangshan. I heard that Liu Tang took a high position in Liangshan and came to join him from his hometown. However, he was captured by the army as a thief when he was halfway there. Now he is in prison and cannot escape. I happened to be next to him when I entered, and he Please ask me to bring him a message saying that you can contact Leader Liu here."
Chen Sanlang listened to him tell the whole story, his face changed again and again, and finally he smiled and shook his head and said, "Sanlang is joking, I only do coffin business here, and have no connection with the Liangshan bandits. You must be listening." Something went wrong!"
Zhang Wenyuan knew that he would definitely not admit it, but he had no intention of forcing him to admit it. He took a sip of tea and stood up to leave, "Maybe I heard wrongly, but it's a pity that he promised me two hundred dollars!"
Chen Sanlang smiled and said, "The people in the prison are all criminals. Sanlang must not believe what they say. Yuncheng is too close to the bandits in Liangshan, and there are many criminals. Sanlang must be careful." , don’t fall into their trap!”
Zhang Wenyuan laughed twice, bowed his hands and left.
