Water Margin official

Hangzhou City, after being governed by several generations of famous ministers in the Song Dynasty, has become a famous city in the southeast, a prosperous place with everything you need for food, clothing, housing, transportation, and entertainment.

However, there are no famous brothels, not even one, and Goulan tile houses are almost extinct in the city of Hangzhou.

Who should I blame for this?

"Officials, I blame Su Dongpo for this, who also likes to visit brothels and prostitutes."

When he said this, Zhang Liu looked angry. In such a nice big city, he couldn't find a decent flower house.

As a bitch from Zhang Daguan, wouldn’t it be a dereliction of duty if he couldn’t share his master’s worries?

Zhang Liuyi must have felt very uncomfortable when he thought that his senior official had not been close to a woman for more than two months. As a personal servant, he should help the senior official solve their problems, and at the same time make it easier for himself.

But after he and the clerk in the store inquired a little bit, he went back to his room with a disappointed look on his face.

As soon as Zhang Zhengdao came back, he couldn't wait to tell the results of his inquiry one by one.

"So, there isn't even a famous lady in Hangzhou city?" Zhang Zhengdao was also surprised.

There are no hook bars in this city, right? Isn’t it promised that “prostitution” will flourish if it is prosperous?

Zhang Liu continued: "Sir, you don't know. I blame Su Dongpo for this matter. The waiter said that when he was the prefect here, he had all the girls in Hangzhou canceled their prostitution status. If he is willing to stay,

I want to marry someone, but I don’t want to send him back to his hometown.”

"As a result, all the goulan stores in this city will be unable to survive and close down one after another." Zhang Liu was resentful.

"This is strange. Scholar Su himself is considered a romantic. How could he do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit himself?" Zhang Zhengdao was quite puzzled.

Zhang Liu explained to him: "According to the store, this matter is related to an oiran named Li Niannu. Back then, she asked Su Dongpo to deregister her citizenship. Then this woman asked Su Dongpo to deregister all the girls in Hangzhou.

Membership."

"Unexpectedly, Su Dongpo actually agreed and deregistered all the sisters in the city. As a result, in the following thirty years, the Goulan in the city gradually declined, and until now, it has not prospered.

"Zhang Liu is still filled with regret.

"Then where is Li Niannu now? I really want to meet such a strange woman." Zhang Zhengdao counted the time. At this moment, the number one oiran in Hangzhou City must be fifty or sixty years old. If he is in good health,

, she should still be alive at this moment, and she can get Su Dongpo to deregister her, intercede for her, and deregister all the sisters in the city. The method is not simple.

But I heard Zhang Liu sigh and say: "High official, after Li Niannu resigned from the country, he became a nun in Jingmiao Temple and entered Buddhism. Then within two years, he was killed by the monk in charge of Lingyin Temple next door.

Dead."

"I heard that the old monk took advantage of her and Li Niannu refused, so he killed her in a fit of rage." Zhang Liu explained.

Zhang Zhengdao was stunned for a moment, and then said after a long while: "The master meets the master, the master plays with the master, the master is not wet, the master loses his temper! It can be seen that this Li Niannu is indeed a peerless beauty, it is a pity that we cannot see her again, what a pity."
Zhang Liu was stunned. Why did he not understand what the senior official said about master and master?

, the government pursued him closely, so he fell into the void and became a monk."

"In the end, it was Su Dongpo who solved this case." Zhang Liu continued.

Zhang Zhengdao shook his head and sighed: "Everything has its own destiny. If Master Su had not renounced her citizenship for Li Niannu, she would not have become a monk, nor would she have met the old monk. Although she was in the mortal world, she at least remained

Get life."

"I wanted to see the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, but my wish didn't come true. Let's pack up and set off home after visiting the Liuhe Pagoda tomorrow." Zhang Zhengdao sighed repeatedly.

Since there was no decent beauty to accompany him, Zhang Zhengdao lost interest, but he was not too disappointed. Seeing that winter was approaching, he had to go home early to avoid cold weather and blocked waterways.

After visiting Cai Jing, this trip to Hangzhou can be considered a success. As for when Cai Jing can fulfill his "promise", that will happen after he is recalled to Bianjing next year.

Therefore, before leaving Hangzhou, Zhang Zhengdao wanted to take everyone to visit the Liuhe Pagoda outside the city. After all, Wu Song was also on this trip.

In Hangzhou City in October, the sweet osmanthus is fragrant and the climate is pleasant. It is a good time to go out and have fun.

Early the next morning, after having breakfast and settling the rent, Zhang Zhengdao led everyone and first bought a hundred taels of fine silk brocade in the city, which he took back to his wife at home and those around him.

Souvenirs from women.

Then he hired a carriage, loaded up the silks, and came out of Hangzhou. A group of seven people, plus a carriage and a white horse, rushed to the famous Liuhe Pagoda and visited the Liuhe Temple next to the tower.

.

Along the way, everyone was chatting and laughing, and they were quite happy.

Wu Song and Ruan Shixiong were drinking in the room yesterday, but they were so frustrated. They heard Zhang Zhengdao say that they all got up early to go to the Liuhe Pagoda today and couldn't wait to go out.

During this trip to Hangzhou, I had nothing to do except drink and sleep on the boat, which was very distressing.

Now that I have the opportunity to appreciate this scenic spot in Hangzhou, I am very willing to do so.

When everyone arrived at Yuelun Mountain by the Qiantang River, it was already close to noon, and they saw a pagoda standing in front of them. It was solemn and majestic from a close distance, but towering from a distance.

This tower is a brick and wood structure, octagonal in shape, with a nine-story tower body, about fifty feet high, and a majestic protrusion, which is very spectacular.

This is the Liuhe Pagoda.

This pagoda was built in the third year of Kaibao in the Song Dynasty. At that time, King Qian Hongchu of Wuyue built the pagoda in his garden. It was originally built to suppress the tide of the Yangtze River. It was named Liuhe Pagoda, also known as Liuhe Pagoda, based on the meaning of "Six Harmonies" in Buddhism. It means "the four directions of heaven and earth".

Zhang Zhengdao recalled that later Wu Song and Lu Zhishen, one died here and the other passed away, couldn't help asking: "Brother Wu, how is this tower?"

Wu Song said with a smile: "This bird tower has nothing to see, it is better to have wine."

Ruan Xiaoer replied: "Brother Wu, you had a full day of eating yesterday, and you didn't feel happy?"

Wu Song said: "It's not painful to be bored in a room and drink wine. If you can drink wine in this tower, it will be more enjoyable."

Everyone laughed, thinking that Wu Song was joking.

Instructing Zhang Liu to stay below and watch the horses and carriages, Zhang Zhengdao led Wu Song and others into the Liuhe Pagoda.

At this time, the pagoda is managed by the monks of Liuhe Temple. There is no charge for climbing the pagoda to watch the Qiantang tide.

As soon as they entered the pagoda, a young monk came forward and saluted: "Donor, would you like this young monk to guide you?"

Zhang Zhengdao found it even more surprising that the Liuhe Pagoda actually arranged a "tour guide"?

"But there is a fee?" Zhang Zhengdao asked.

The young monk smiled and replied: "It all depends on the benefactor's will."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Then I'll trouble you, little master."

The young monk led everyone up the stairs to the top floor. Standing in the stone room, leaning on the railing and looking far away, he saw the autumn colors on both sides of the bank were thickening, the forests were gradually dyeing, and a Qiantang tide was rushing eastward with majestic momentum.

"We live in harmony in body, there is no dispute in speech, we have harmony in mind, we practice together in military affairs, we see harmony in understanding, and we all benefit in harmony. This is the Six Harmonies!" The young monk stood beside Zhang Zhengdao and muttered something.
