Folk Tales Society: Robbers

It is said that the most feared thing in the world is the word "robber", to make a curse word. I don't know if this is only one side. If you talk about it, there are no robbers in that part of the world? If there is a first-class official who misleads the country and deceives the monarch and robs the people, although the officials are high and thick, is it not a great thief? There are first-class princes who rely on the power of their fathers and brothers, dance their teeth and claws, deceive the villagers, receive offerings, hide their booty, do everything, the people do not dare to speak out, and the lawsuit does not dare to interrogate, is it not a big thief? Is it not a great thief who is a first-class person who shows his talents, who calls on friends and leads classes, who controls the official palace, who destroys lawsuits, and who tears down the homes of good people and scatters them into smoke? Only in the crown, it is still so, let alone being a broker and a public servant? Needless to say, the people in the three hundred and sixty lines are all wolf hearts and dogs, and the people who are fierce like robbers are not to be said.

Such a person in the world is the most intimate friend, and he is still ruthless on the opposite side, let alone the grace of one meal and the knowledge of one side? It is not as good as the people mentioned in "Water Margin", who always call themselves good men and heroes, but they want to earn gas in the green forest and do things that are difficult for the world to come out. Cover for this green forest there is also a helpless, to take shelter. There are also those who kill people for righteousness and use this to hide. There are also the imperial courts that do not use it, fall into the rivers and lakes, and thus gather. Although there are only many evil people, there are also many people who are righteous and loose money. At that time, Zhao Li let the fat, but instead got the gift of chestnut rice: Zhang Qixian was stolen, and more gold relics were left behind: all of them were real things of the ancients.

Moreover, there is a Wang Sheng in Suzhou recently, a family of ordinary people. Father Wang Sanlang, Shang Jia Yingsheng, mother Li Shi. There is also an aunt of the Yang clan, but she is lonely and childless, and several families live together. Wang Sheng has been smart and obedient since childhood, and his aunt cherished him very much, not wanting to die one after another when he was seven or eight years old. Thanks to the complete funeral of the Yang clan, Wang Sheng was raised as his own son, and gradually grew up, and in the blink of an eye, he was eighteen years old again. The business is a clever thing.

One day, Yang Clan said to him: "Now that you are old, how can you sit and eat empty boxes?" I have some family assets around me, and what your father has left, all of them are in operation. When I make up a thousand or two, you go to the rivers and lakes to do some business, which is also serious. Wang Sheng said happily, "This is exactly what we are waiting for." The Yang clan packed up the thousands of gold things and paid him. Wang Sheng agreed with a group of merchants, saying that Nanjing was good at business, and first put a few hundred taels of silver in some Suzhou goods. Picked up the day, hired a long-distance ship, and packed more luggage and stopped. Don't say goodbye to the Yang clan, go to the boat to burn the city of Shenfuli, and then start the boat. Speechless all the way.

Not one day, arrive at Jingkou early and take advantage of the east wind to cross the river. When I arrived at the Yellow Sky, a strange wind suddenly arose, and the white waves of the river lifted the sky, and I did not know where to hit the boat. It was already dark, and the people on the ship looked up, only to see that there were many reeds in the four miles, and there was no second passenger ship in front of and behind. Wang Sheng and the people in the same boat were panicking, when suddenly a gong sounded in the reeds, and three or four small boats were drawn. Seven or eight people on each boat jumped over the boat in a huddle. Wang Sheng waited for a breath to make a piece, prostrating his head and begging for forgiveness. The gang did not come to talk to you, nor did they come to harm your life, but only to roll all the gold and silver goods in the ship into captivity, shouting "noisy", and the oars were fired in unison, and the flight seemed to be rowing. The ship full of people was stunned and stunned. Wang Sheng burst into tears unconsciously, "I am so fateful!" He consulted with his peers: "Now that there is no luggage, what should I do in Nanjing?" It is better to go home separately and make calculations. Qingqing muttered for a while, and the sky gradually became clear. At that time, the wind and waves were calm, and the bow of the boat was turned to look at the Zhenjiang River. When he arrived in Zhenjiang, Wang Sheng went ashore, borrowed a few pieces of silver from a relative's house as a plate fee, and arrived at home.

Yang Shi saw that he would return soon after, and his clothes were disheveled, his face was sad, and he had already guessed eight or nine points. Only to see him come to him, sing a promise, and cry to the ground. Yang Asked him carefully, and he repeated the previous matter. Yang Shi comforted him: "Erluo, this is also your life." It's not that you don't spend old age, so why bother? And rest assured at home for two days, and then scrape together some money to go out, be sure to take advantage of the previous one. Wang Sheng said, "After that, I will only do some business in the vicinity, and I will not bear the burden of such a relationship and go far away." Yang Clan said, "A man who has traveled thousands of miles in business, how can he say this!" After living at home for more than a month, he consulted with people: "Yangzhou cloth is good for sale." Songjiang bought cloth and brought some silver to Yangzhou and returned with rice beans, which was very advantageous. The Yang clan gathered a few hundred taels of silver with him. I went to Matsue to buy a hundred barrel cloths, bought a boat full of wind alone, and brought a few hundred taels of silver with rice beans, and I got together with a guy and chose a day to go.

When I arrived in Changzhou, I saw only the boats coming from the front, and I only sighed and thirsty: "Squeezed!" Squeezed broken! Busy asked the reason, said: "Countless grain ships, blocking danyang road." From the youth shop to the lingkou, the water cannot be drained. Buying and selling ships can not think of entering. Wang Sheng said, "How good!" The boatman said, "Are we going to go up to see if he can squeeze in?" Fight from the Meng River to walk his mother. Wang Sheng said, "Menghe Road is afraid of trance." The boatman said, "Fighting is only a day, why bother?" Otherwise, if you can keep the road, when do you know? "Because I followed the boat's house, I took the Menghe Road." Sure enough, it was the azure sun and white season, out of the Menghe River. Fang Rejoiced, "Okay, okay." If you are in the inland river, when will you be able to earn it? "I was in the midst of happiness, only to see the sound of water behind the boat, a three-yoke and eight-oar boat, flying as if coming." Looking closer, a hook was held, and a dozen strong men with fast knives, iron rulers, and diamond circles in their hands jumped over. When the Yuan LaiLu River crosses the east, there is the sea, and there are robbers in the day, but empty boats can go. Imami is a buying and selling ship, and the remorse just happened to hit it, how can he spare it? Moved in as much as you wanted. The strange boatman still held the bridge in his hand, and when an iron ruler hit it, the boatman could not throw the bridge. Wang Sheng glanced away in a hurry and recognized that it was a group of people in the Yellow Sky Swing the day before. Wang Sheng yili shouted, "Great King! I have experienced you the day before yesterday, but why did I meet here again today? I've had so little of yours in my past life! One of the strong men said, "Sure enough, let him do some coiling." "So I pulled a small package over, dropped off the boat, and looked back at the river in front of me with a smoke." Wang Sheng only cried bitterly, picked up the package, and when he opened it, there were still about a dozen pieces of silver included. With tears in his eyes, he sneered, "And please don't borrow this time, get lucky!" fluke! Then he said to the boatman, "Who told you to go this way and make me like this?" Just go back. The boatman said, "The world has changed, and it is robbery in the daytime, who knows?" "I had to turn back to the old road and get home." Yang Shi saw that it came quickly, and he was shocked. Born walked to the front with tears in his eyes and cried about why. It is rare that Yang Shi is a great sage, and he knows people in his eyes, and he knows that his nephew will have a date of origin, and he does not complain a little, but just comforts him, teaches him to keep his orders, and then does the reason.

After a few hours, Yang Shi gathered up the silver again, urged him to go out, and said: "Twice encountered theft, most of them are the tricks of fate." If you lose your fortune, you will sit at home, and there will be robberies at your door. Don't be twice because of this, and fall into the family heirloom industry. Wang Sheng was just afraid. Yang Shi said, "Nephew is suspicious, looking for a class to ask for a good chance, asking for a way forward." "Sure enough, I found a gentleman to come home, and I did business in several places in succession, all of which were lower gua, but Nanjing was a shang gua. He also said, "You don't have to go to Nanjing, but if you go all the way to Nanjing, you will naturally be rich and prosperous." Yang Clan said, "My son," boldly going down to heaven, be careful not to move forward. "Suzhou to Nanjing is not on the road of six or seven stations, many guests often come, when your father and uncle were familiar with the road, you are also remorseful, accidentally bumped into these two stolen." Are they alone with you, and they can't be robbed? Divination is good, just go with confidence. Wang Sheng followed his words and still moved around. It is also his predestined number, which is deserved. It is: the fate of the east and the west, all sent by the ghosts to the common gods.

The strongmen did not go unprovoked, and tricked them into sending blessings.

Wang Sheng traveled for two days and then went to the Yangtze River. On this day, the sails were smooth, and the real ten thousand mountains on both sides of the strait were like horses, reaching the Longjiang Pass. Then late in the day, it was too late to go ashore, and the bay boat was laid. He was a frightened bird, and he tied up the boat by the side of a patrol boat, and he said that he was completely fine and rested in peace. When I arrived at the third change, I only listened to the sound of a gong, the torch qi ming, and woke up in my sleep. When I opened my eyes urgently, it was another group of strongmen, jumping over and moving as before. When I looked at my own ship, I was not in the original mooring place, but had moved to the wide part of the river. Looking closely at their robbery in the midst of the fire, he recognized them as the first two people. The king hardened his guts, grabbed the robber who had wrapped him up the day before, knelt down, and said, "Great King! The villain only wants to die! The great king said, "I will not hurt people's lives, but if you go, how can you twist and turn around?" Wang Sheng cried, "The great king does not know, the little man has no parents when he is young, and he has lost all the trust of his aunt and came out to be a businessman." Just came out three times, it was exactly the past life that owed the king, three times bumped into the king and took it, telling me how to see my aunt? Where did he get a lot of silver to pay him back? Even if the king does not kill me, he will jump into the river and die, and it will be difficult to go back and see the face of Aunt En again. "Sad to say, I can't stop crying. The king was a righteous man, and he felt pitiful. He then said, "I won't kill you either, and I won't be able to pay you back the silver, so I have a reason." I robbed a passenger ship last night, I don't want it to be all bundled ramie, and it's a lot, I want him to be useless, I took your silver, and I made these with your capital, and it was also equivalent. Wang Sheng, out of hope, said that he could not thank him enough. The gang then threw ramie over the boat, and Wang Sheng and the boatman hurriedly stacked on top of each other, and before they could look closely, there were about two or three hundred bundles. The robber finished throwing the ramie, whistled himself, and turned the ship. The boatman recognized the small port gate in the river and still moved the boat into the accommodation. Hou Tian daming. Wang Sheng said, "This is also a bandit with a human heart, and it is expected that these ramie are almost a thousand gold." He was also robbed to get bad hair off, so with me. I am now issued to sell, some people recognize, but it is not beautiful, it is better to carry it home, beat the bundle, change the style, and then go elsewhere to sell! "Still driving the boat into the river, launching the boat fast, not much time, to the Jingkou Locks, all the way to home."

I saw my aunt and told me everything about the previous item. Yang Clan said, "Although there is no silver, if you change the nodo ramie, it will not be a big loss." So he opened a bundle and looked at it, only to see layer by layer. Untied inside, a hard piece of the bundle in the heart, very tightly wrapped. Untied, there are several layers of cotton paper, wrapped in white gold. With the opening of the second bundle, the bundle is the same. A ship of ramie, a total of more than 5,000 taels. It is a long-term habit of large merchants, jianghang anti-theft, fake ramie, hidden in the bundle, hidden from people's eyes. Who knew that the robbers did not ask the good and the bad to come, but today they are rich in Wang Sheng. At that time, Yang Shi and Wang Sheng shouted, "Shame! "Although I was frightened two or three times, I was able to get this windfall in plain faith, which was double the cost, and I was overjoyed." Since then, I have gone out to operate and suffered a smooth experience. Within a few years, it became a rich family.
