Shi Jin walked for half a month, that day came to Weizhou, Weizhou also has a government. Shi Jin walked into a tea shop, ordered a tea, and asked the tea doctor, "Is there a director from Tokyo, Wang Jin?" Dr. Cha said, "There are three or four Wangs, but I don't know if there is Wang Jin." While they were talking, an officer strode in. Shi Jin looked at him, he was eight feet tall, waist width ten circles, round face big ears, straight nose square mouth, beard. Dr. Tea said: "The guest officer wants to see the head of the king, please ask this reference will know." Shi Jin stood up and offered a gift: "Officials, please sit down and worship tea." The officer saw that Shi Jin Sheng was tall and burly, like a good man. He returned the salute and came to sit down. Shi Jin asked, "What is the official's name?" The officer said, "My family name is Lu, and I have a single name. What's Brother's last name?" Shi Jin said, "I am from Huayin County, Huazhou. My surname is Shi and my first name is Jin. May I ask the officials, is my master Wang Jin in the Economic Strategy Office?" Lu Da said, "Aren't you Shijiacun nine-grain dragon Shijin?" Is it true that Wang Jin, whom you ask, has offended Captain Gao?" Shi Jin said, "Exactly." Lu Da said: "I have also heard his name for a long time, I heard that he is in Yan 'an Prefecture, where the old kind of minister is, but I am in Wei Prefecture, but the small kind of minister is in charge." I also know the name of Shilang, you and I go to the street to have a drink."
Ruda took Shi Jin's arm and went out into the street. After walking for thirty or fifty paces, she saw a lot of people gathered around an empty field. Two people squeeze into a look, is a gun rod to sell plaster. The history of fine differentiation, recognized is his open master, rivers and lakes called tiger will Li Zhong. Shi Jin said, "Master, I haven't seen you for a long time." Li Zhong said, "Apprentice, how did you come here?" Ruda said, "As master of Stallang, you will also eat a few cups with me." Li Zhong collected the gun rod, sent ton well, keep up with two people.
The three walked for a while until they came to the famous Pan Family Hotel, went upstairs, and sat down in a private room. After a while, the bartender ironed the wine and brought a table of dishes. While eating and drinking, the three of them talked about guns and sticks. While we were talking, we suddenly heard someone crying next door. Ruda lost her temper and threw the dish on the floor. The bartender hurried over and Ruda said angrily, "How can you make people cry next door and disturb my brother's drinking?" The bartender said, "Calm down. It was a father and daughter who were crying because they didn't get the money." Ruda said, "Call them."
Before long, two singers came in. One was a young woman of eighteen or eighteen, of somewhat attractive colour; The other was an old man in his 50s or 60s. When they came forward and saluted deeply, Ruda asked, "How do you weep?" The woman said: "My slave's family is from Tokyo, and they did not meet with their parents to visit relatives in Wei Prefecture, and the mother died of illness in the hotel, and the father and daughter had to leave to suffer." There was a town Kansai Zheng high official, to buy a slave family as a concubine, write three thousand documents, but did not give a single. In less than three months, his wife drove the slave out. Zheng grand official people have to chase back three thousand dollars. His father could not compete with him, so he had to bring his slave family to the public and sing to earn some money to repay him. These days, there are few drinkers, and they are afraid that he will be humiliated when he comes to ask for money, so they weep. I don't want to offend senior officials." Ruda asked, "What's your last name? Which inn are you staying at? Where does that town of Kansai live?" The old man said: "The old man surnamed Jin Xinger, daughter small character Cui Lian, Zheng grand official is Zheng Tu who sells meat under the champion bridge." The old Han father and daughter live in the Lu Family Inn in Dongmenli." Ruda yelled, "Bah! I only said which Zheng chief officer, but it is Zheng Tu who kills pigs, and dares to bully people like this!" He said to Shi Jin and Li Zhong, "You two wait until I go and kill that guy." Shi Jin and Li Zhong quickly pulled him, and tried to persuade him.
Ruda took five hundred ounces of silver out of his bosom and said, "Lend me any silver you have, and I will return it to you tomorrow." Shi Jin took out a hundred taels of silver and said, "What should I pay back?" Li Zhong touched for a long time and brought out more than two hundred pieces of silver. Lu Da said: "You are not a bright person." He pushed back the pieces of silver and gave only 15 taels to Jin Lao, saying, "Take the money as a pawn, and go back to Bianjing." Jin Lao said: "The shopkeeper watch my father and daughter, how can they go." Ruda said: "Tomorrow I will give you, see who dares to stop!" Gold old received the silver, thousands of thanks to go. The three ate wine for a while, went out of the hotel, and Shi Jin and Li Zhong went to the hotel. Ruda went back to her apartment and was so angry that she went to sleep without eating.
Gold old father and daughter returned to the inn, settled the store money, hired a car, packed up the luggage. The next morning, two people are trying to leave, but was stopped by small two. Ruda arrives, slaps him in the face and somersaults him, bleeding from his mouth and spitting out two broken teeth. Ruda cursed: "Good boy, he does not owe you money, you dare to stop them!" Gold hurriedly thanked the old father and daughter, leaving the store. Ruda moved a bench, put it at the door of the store, sat there until the old father and daughter of the gold estimated to go far, see the sky is not early, which went straight to the Zhuonyuan Bridge.
Zheng Tu's butcher shop has two storefronts and employs more than a dozen staff. Zheng Tu was watching the guys selling meat. When Lu Da came in, he said, "You want to buy meat?" Ruda said: "Sprinkle family with a small kind of longitude Xianggong's order, buy ten pounds of lean meat, not allowed to bring a little fat, finely cut into meat." Zheng Tu wanted the boys to do it, but Lu Da said, "Don't let them do it, you have to do it yourself!" Zheng Tu cut ten pounds of lean meat, chopped it into mince and wrapped it in lotus leaves. Ruda said: "Cut ten pounds of fat meat, not a little lean meat, also cut into the filling." Zheng Tu said, "Lean meat can wrap wontons. What's the use of fat meat?" Ruda said, "This is the order of the master of the little seed, who dares to ask?" Zheng Tu had to hold back his anger and cut the fat again.
The butcher stands at the door, who dares to come? The second boy in the inn wrapped his head in a towel and wanted to tell the news, but he also stood far away. Zheng Tu spent the whole morning cutting up 20 kilograms of fine and fat meat. Ruda added: "And ten pounds of brittle bones, no meat on the top, also need to cut into the filling." Zheng Tu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "You didn't come to buy meat, you made fun of me on purpose!" Lu Da beat the two packets of minced meat and cursed: "The sprinklers are making fun of you!"
Two packages of minced meat hit Zheng Tu's face, just like a meat rain, making him fleshy. He was not angry, grabbed a bone knife, jumped into the street, said: "Have courage to come here!" Ruda had already lunged up the street. Zheng Tu held a knife in his right hand and split his chest with his left hand to catch Lu Da. Ruda grabbed him by the wrist, kicked him in the abdomen, and fell backward. Lu Da grabbed the first step, stepped on his chest, shook his fist as big as a vinegar bowl, and cursed: "The family has made countless military achievements, and it does not deserve the title of Kansai town." You're a butcher selling meat, a dog-like bitch, and you dare call yourself Kansai? Tell me how you cheated Jin Cuilian!" Said, according to the bridge of his nose is a punch, only hit the blood. Zheng Tu shouted, "Good fight!" Ruda scolded: "You dare to talk hard!" He punched him in the eye again, blew his eye out. Zheng Tu could not bear it and begged for his life. Lu Da scolded: "If you keep talking hard, the Safa will spare you, you ask for forgiveness, the Safa will kill you!" Cursed and punched him in the temple again. See his face gradually pale, only out of the gas did not enter the gas. Ruda thought: No, the family just want to teach him a lesson, did not expect that he did not fight, really killed, but also have a lawsuit. He said: "Good boy don't pretend to be dead, and the Sprinklers will settle accounts with you again!" He went straight back to his residence, packed up a few clothes, put the silver in his arms, carried a short stick, and walked away quickly.
Zheng Tu's relatives rescued Zheng Tu for a long time, and did not save Zheng Tu, then went to the governor Yamen. Governor thought, Ruda is the old kind of minister of love, can not arrest him casually. Then take the car to go straight to the government, to the small kind of economics explained the matter. Because it is an important case of human life, it is not convenient to favor Lu Da, saying: "Your government can handle this case according to law." However, when you find out, you must report it to my father, so that in case he asks me for this man during the war with Txixia, I cannot give him an account." The governor repeatedly said "yes", returned to the yamen, and then sent someone to arrest Ruda, Ruda ran away. He came out of the arrest document, painted on the appearance of Ruda, wanted to murder the officer Ruda on the run.
Ruda escaped from Wei Prefecture, panic, rampage, this day came to Yanmen County, go to the cross street, see a group of people around there to see what, they also crowded in to watch. Unexpectedly, a man behind him suddenly hugged him and shouted: "Brother Zhang, let me find it easy, so you are here."
