Chapter 66: The Thief King Marries
Killing someone to kill someone is a good thing for the people in the world.
Su Yang's decisive suggestion was that he wanted to kill Zhang San directly here. The people present could feel happy, but Zhang San, who had already been removed from his arms, shivered as if he was soaked in ice water.
If this family wants to kill him, he will run away directly. He will not die unjustly?
At this time, as long as you kill someone and leave the city, it will be extremely difficult to catch people back.
Zhang Cuishan turned around. She was a famous Wudang family and could not easily do anything to kill people. At this time, she just looked at Zhang San, but it scared Zhang San so much that her legs became weak. She rolled and crawled. She rushed to Zhang Cuishan and begged for mercy.
"Auntie, I can compensate you for your money, so you must show mercy!"
Zhang San begged for mercy and said, he didn't want to give his life for no reason.
"You still keep the money you stole from the girl?"
Su Yang asked.
Thieves and scoundrels don’t have the idea of saving money. They just spend it if they steal it, or use it for eating and drinking, or playing. Zhang Cuishan’s money falls into their hands, but they will not save it.
"The money has been spent."
Zhang San said: "But you tell me a number and follow me. I will definitely be able to bring you the money and return it to you in the same amount."
Su Yang looked at Zhang Cuishan.
Zhang Cuishan nodded and said truthfully: "At that time, there were 23 taels of silver in my purse."
Zhang Cuishan is honest in terms of money.
Zhang San breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that the woman would speak loudly on it, but he didn't expect that the woman would say such a number, which made the stone hanging in his heart disappear in an instant.
"It's easy to say."
Zhang San said, "You two come with me and I will return the twenty-three taels of silver to you."
Zhang Cuishan looked at Su Yang at this time.
"Let's go with him."
Su Yang said with a smile.
Zhang Cuishan had no objection to this. She felt that Zhang San was weak and these thieves were nothing. Even if it was a bit tricky, Su Yang would naturally be foolproof.
The two of them followed Zhang San and shuttled through Hangzhou City.
"Are you going to your home?"
Zhang Cuishan followed behind and looked at Zhang Sanhuan walking in the alley with no one around him, asking.
Zhang San shook his head in front and said, "Actually, if I just borrow some of these twenty-three taels of silver from me, I can still take it out if I ask a friend to borrow some of these twenty-three taels of silver. But recently, our boss wants to get married and wants to make the wedding beautiful and collect all our money. We will give us a fixed task every day. Not only me, but also my brothers have no penny at hand. Girl, you are chivalrous and you won't blackmail if you catch someone like me. I should also treat you honestly. Now I will take you to find the boss and withdraw twenty-three taels from him."
The thief wants to get married?
After hearing the news, Su Yang was very interested and asked, "Which lady from a family wants to marry your boss?"
Usually these thieves do things secretly and make a big fuss about getting married, obviously because the woman's identity is unusual.
"We don't know either."
Zhang San shook his head and said, "This marriage was something a monk said to the boss, and he also said he wanted to be a matchmaker for the boss. He went to greet the bride a few days ago. Our boss has been decorating a wedding house for the past few days. As for which family of women it was and what they looked like, not many of us below knew about it."
Monk?
In this world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, most of the matters involving monks and Taoists are unusual, either with supernatural powers or big liars. After hearing the monk, Su Yang became interested.
"What does this monk look like?"
Zhang Cuishan asked.
Zhang San thought for a while and said, "This monk looks a bit ugly, and he doesn't speak the accent here in Hangzhou, but it doesn't look like the accent from the northwest. It's quite strange, it seems to be a monk."
A monk!
Zhang Cuishan's eyes lit up and he looked at Su Yang, and Su Yang nodded slightly to Zhang Cuishan.
"How did your boss know the monk?"
Su Yang asked.
Zhang San thought about it, shook his head and said, "We don't know much about how we know this. Anyway, we know each other, and the two are still good friends. We have not been with the boss for a long time and don't know much about the boss before. Anyway, the boss is a good person, very righteous, and willing to stand up for our brothers. We brothers are also willing to do things under the boss's hands."
It seems that this boss is still capable and can make the people below him so devoted.
Zhang San walked in front and soon took Su Yang and Zhang Cuishan to a house. The gate courtyard was wide, with white walls and green tiles, red silk ropes and lanterns, making the decoration here look very innovative. Two people stood at the door, their waists straight and motionless. This solemn and solemn were not even in the yamen.
You should know that at this time, most of the people guarding the gate stood casually in front of the gate or simply sat on the threshold, basically doing things. Even in the palace, some people often misunderstood the direction and entered it.
Su Yang feels that this thief gang can have such execution ability.
Zhang San asked Su Yang and Zhang Cuishan to wait outside. He walked to the door and was about to enter when he was stopped by the person next to him.
"Brother Zhuo went to Qiantang to pick up the bride."
The doorkeeper said, "Now no one in the family is allowed to enter, so as not to mess up the house and make the bride unhappy."
"Why did the bride come here today?"
Zhang San was obviously caught off guard and asked in surprise: "Didn't you believe it in the morning?"
"We received the letter shortly after you went out."
The guardian said, "Brother Zhuo is busy taking the bride back and taking the people to Qiantang. The two of them will get married tonight."
In modern times, marriages are usually in the morning and noon, but in ancient times, marriages are usually at dusk, because this is the time when yin and yang alternate, so it is also called dying.
When Zhang San heard this, he hurriedly left there and came to Su Yang and Zhang Cuishan's side. Just as he was about to speak, Su Yang said with a smile: "Okay, let's go to Qiantang for a walk."
Su Yang wanted to see what kind of wife the thief wanted to marry under the guidance of the monk.
Qiantang River was called Zhejiang in ancient times. When the imperial court divided this place, it gave it the name of Zhejiang.
The smoke and water here are vast and have always been known as the world's largest tide. At this time, most of the Jiangnan River are transported by canals and waterways, which makes the Qiantang River also have ships of all sizes. There are many people on both sides of the straits busy transporting, which is also a prosperous scene.
But when Su Yang came here today, he saw that most of the people on both sides of the strait were frowning, and there were not many ships on the river.
After Zhang San arrived here, he began to look for his accomplices on the shore. Su Yang and Zhang Cuishan walked behind and looked around at the boats around. They saw that there were more or less traces of water on the boats here, and many people came here to worship with yellow paper incense candles.
"Sir, are you back?"
Just as Su Yang was looking around, he heard the cry and turned around. He saw Lao Jun, Xiao Jun, and the lady of the Lei family. Xiao Jun was holding a basket with some incense paper candles inside. He obviously wanted to worship him when he saw Su Yang, so he came to say hello to Su Yang first.
"You are back from Jinhua, too?"
Su Yang looked at Lao Jun and smiled.
"Just just returned yesterday."
Lao Jun bowed respectfully to Su Yang and said, "This time I go to Jinhua, thanks for your protection. If you weren't on the boat, we would have destroyed the boat."
If Su Yang had not helped them, they would have been blackmailed by Taoist priests from Qingtianmen on the boat. If the Taoist priest had a bad heart in his heart, no one would have escaped. In front of the vast river, their personal power would always be limited.
"It's not going well on the way back."
Su Yang asked when he saw Lao Jun's expression.
Lao Jun sighed and nodded, "There are many twists and turns..."
Just as he was about to tell Su Yang in detail, Zhang San was already gambled and greeting him. Seeing this, Su Yang smiled at Lao Jun and said, "Let's go there and watch the fun together. Look at what kind of lady this famous thief king in Hangzhou wants to marry."
While saying that Su Yang and Zhang Cuishan were already heading to the water. Lao Jun, a person who had been making a living on the water for many years, was a little afraid of water at this time, but he had the courage to follow Su Yang.
The group came to the water and saw that the shore was decorated with lights, red flowers, and red silk made of knots. More than fifty people were very lively, all wearing red clothes and leading the way. The groom's outfit should be the thief king here. It looks extraordinary. At this time, Zhuoran stood on the shore, and the people next to him could still regard him as a wealthy young man. Unexpectedly, this was the thief king who was notorious in Hangzhou City and under Shi Qian's disciple.
A ship came from the west, and the sun shone on the ship, where there were blurry figures. The rippling water light and the bald heads on the figures reflected each other, making people look extremely dazzling.
"Here comes..."
"The bride is here..."
"Congratulations, brother, you're married too."
The thieves on both sides quickly congratulated the elder brother in front. The thief also thanked the people beside him, and even looked over there. He saw that the ship was from far away and approaching him, but there was just a monk rowing the boat, and there was no one on both sides.
Everyone who was congratulating him was silent at this time and looked at the monks on the boat one by one.
This time, the thief below didn't know much about the marriage. When he saw the monk alone, some people even guessed in their hearts, could it be the monk they were going to marry?
What they worshiped was Shiqian Temple, not Longyang Temple.
"master."
The thief walked in front and saluted respectfully to the monk.
The monk nodded, pointed his hand at the boat and said, "No, your wife is there."
