Chapter 1: Spring Dreams on the Dragon Bed in the Deep Palace; Cutting Board at the Inn to Eliminate the Root of Evil
The poem reads: "Indulging in a carefree southern journey, I knew no calamity would strike. Had it not been for the blessings of a truly fortunate emperor, I would have long since lost my dream of ruling the empire." Another poem reads: "Two new looks yet to be seen, for the dragon's nature is inherently restless and difficult to control. The spring breeze, naturally, favors the emperor, blowing open two trees in one night." Both poems recount anecdotes of the carefree emperor, for two beautiful women met him in a dream and later entered the palace to serve him. Who was this carefree emperor? He was Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty. This Zhengde was naturally romantic and unrestrained. Upon ascending the throne, peace reigned throughout the land. Weary of governance, he indulged in travel and pleasure. He was known as the carefree emperor. Therefore, although the inner palace had three thousand beauties, none were pleasing to the eye. He was often depressed. One day, after court, with nothing to do, he lay on his dragon bed. Suddenly, he awoke, and after a few steps, found himself in a vast world, surrounded by vibrant colors and endless reds and greens. He strolled to another place, where two flowering trees stood. One tree had blossoms as white as jade, the other with bright red flowers. There, he saw two stunningly beautiful women, floating gracefully towards him. One, with light makeup, was as radiant as jade; the other, with heavy makeup, was as slender and graceful as a flower. They were like lotus blossoms, their delicate brows furrowed, their eyes like autumn waters, their movements gentle and captivating. Their hair was lightly veiled, their golden lotus petals reflected the water's edge—like Xi Shi reborn, Wang Zhaojun reincarnated. Zhengde, seeing this, was overjoyed, his body weak with pleasure. He then stepped forward and said with a smile, "I am feeling lonely and bored, and I wish to share my bed with two beauties. What do you think?" The two beauties replied in unison, "I'm afraid we are not fortunate enough to enjoy this. If Your Majesty does not mind our ugly appearance, we are willing to serve you." Seeing that the two beauties agreed, Zhengde was already aroused and could not restrain himself. He then said to the two beauties, "Since you beauties have shown your affection, why not go to the balcony together?" After saying this, he grabbed the two beauties with both hands. The two beauties could not resist Zhengde's embrace and cried out, "Your Majesty, let go!" Zhengde was unwilling to give in, and the two beauties had a plan. They shouted, "Someone is coming from over there!" Zhengde looked around, but there was no one there. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two beauties suddenly pushed him away. Zhengde lost his footing and cried out, "Oh no!" He woke up with a start, realizing it was just a dream. Emperor Zhengde lay lazily on his dragon bed, repeatedly exclaiming, "Wonderful! Wonderful!" A eunuch, hearing the commotion, entered and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you drenched in a cold sweat?" Zhengde replied, "I dreamt I was enjoying a beautiful dream with two beauties when someone suddenly pushed me awake." The eunuch said, "Since you had the dream, there must be these beauties. Why doesn't Your Majesty summon the Hanlin Academy to inquire? Then issue an edict ordering an envoy to select them to serve Your Majesty in the palace." Zhengde said, "In my haste during the dream, I didn't ask about the beauties' names or hometowns, which is quite infuriating. But I've heard that in the northern lands of Hebei, fine horses are born; and in ancient capitals, beautiful women gather. These two beauties must have been born in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, or Chaozhou. I'll have to travel around someday and try to find their traces." Little did anyone know that these words, spoken unintentionally by Zhengde, would be taken to heart by the listener! The eunuch took these words to heart, but they inadvertently caused a great deal of trouble—but that's a story for another time. This eunuch was from Nanyang, Henan. His father was Zhang Yi, and his mother was Chen. Zhang Yi made a living selling medicinal herbs and amassed a fortune, but the couple were over forty and had no children. One day, Zhang Yi went to Cangzhou, Hebei, to buy herbs. Passing through a desolate mountain, he found an abandoned baby, fair-skinned and with delicate features. Zhang Yi took him in and adopted him as his son, naming him Zhang Da. Several years passed quickly, and Zhang Da grew up, frivolous and mischievous, quick-witted and eloquent. He excelled at chess, pitch-pot, gambling, and football. At seventeen, Zhang Yi died, and Chen spoiled him even more. He neglected his duties and indulged in idle wandering. When he was eighteen, Chen also died, and Zhang Da became even more dissolute, gambling and drinking without restraint. Within a few years, the family fortune was completely lost. He had even sold his dwelling, leaving him penniless. Remembering his cousin Zhang Jun, he decided to seek refuge there and try to rise in the ranks. Zhang Jun was a second-class soldier, now holding the official position of Minister of Personnel. He was Zhang Yi's cousin and Zhang Da's uncle. He and Zhang Yi were quite close. Zhang Da had previously returned home due to troubles, and later moved his family to Suzhou. His family was wealthy, and Zhang Da hoped for their assistance, so he packed his bags and set off. Traveling day and night, he arrived in Suzhou and sought an inn to rest. Asking the innkeeper, he learned that Minister Zhang's house was on Tongren Street. That evening, he ate a hearty meal and slept. The next morning, after breakfast, Zhang Da prepared his visiting card and went to Zhang's residence. He explained to the gatekeeper, who said, "Master is not home." Zhang Da pleaded with the gatekeeper to drop the card into the inner chambers. His wife, Lady Li, upon seeing the visiting card, thought, "Zhang Yi's family is wealthy; Zhang Da must be bored and dissolute to have come here." She then sent the card into the inner hall. After Zhang Da finished his bow and sat down, Madam Li had tea served. She said, "Nephew, you're at home managing the household affairs. What brings you here?" Zhang Da paused slightly, then replied, "My parents have both passed away, and our family business is in decline. I hope you can write a letter for me to go to the capital and ask my uncle for help in finding a way to make a living." Madam Li said, "Your uncle is an upright official and would never recommend anyone without proper authorization. Going to the capital will likely be of no use to you." She then instructed a servant to bring out some silver and said to Zhang Da, "This is ten taels of silver. Please use it as travel expenses to return home. Do not go to the capital." Zhang Da said unhappily, "Your aunt is unwilling to write a letter to help me, and I am not joking. You can take the silver back." Having said this, he left without saying goodbye, sullenly exiting the main hall. Madam Li was greatly alarmed, but that is another story. Now, Zhang Da left the Zhang residence, filled with resentment, thinking, "If I ever gain power, I will surely find a way to take revenge on his family." Suddenly, he changed his mind, thinking, "When he was given silver earlier, I was too proud to take it. Now I'm penniless and have no relatives or friends. I might as well drown myself to avoid this hardship." At this point, his mind was filled with despair, and he left the city, anxiously searching for a stream to end his life. As he walked through the desolate countryside, he encountered a Taoist priest. The priest had white hair and a long beard, wore a blue cloth robe, and held a staff, swaying it from side to side. He appeared remarkably clear-headed. The Taoist priest immediately said, "You must not take your own life! I predict that you will have boundless wealth and honor in the future." Zhang Da said, "Since you know I want to commit suicide, you must know my suffering. What do you mean by wealth and honor?" The Taoist priest laughed and said, "I know the past and the future, how could I not know your troubles? Why don't you castrate yourself and go to the capital to become a eunuch? You can enjoy all the glory." Zhang Da said, "If I am castrated, won't I die? Besides, I have no money for the journey, how can I go to the capital?" Then the Taoist priest took out a packet of medicine powder and a pill from his body. The Taoist priest gave Zhang Da the pill and said, "Take this medicine back to the shop. First, take a piece of tile, a bottle of wine, and some charcoal. Write a note on a piece of paper and place it on the table for the shopkeeper to see. Say that if I cut off my penis, you can place it on the tile, fan the charcoal fire to burn it until charred, grind it into a fine powder, mix it with a pill, and drink it with the wine to stop the pain. Quickly apply this powder to the wound to stop the bleeding immediately. After a few days of recuperation, you will naturally recover. I will also give you fifty taels of silver for your travel expenses." After saying this, he handed the silver and medicine to Zhang Da. Zhang Da accepted it and bowed to the ground, saying, "I humbly request your name so that I may repay your kindness in the future." The Taoist priest helped Zhang Da up and said loudly, "My name is Li Taibai. I travel the world and do not seek repayment. If you achieve success in the future, please do not harm any living beings. I will be deeply grateful for your kindness." After speaking, he transformed into a light breeze and disappeared. Zhang Da knew that it was Taibai Jinxing who had given him guidance, and that he would surely benefit from it in the future. He immediately bowed to the sky in gratitude. He then returned to the city and found an inn to stay in. Having made up his mind, Zhang Da took a square tile and prepared some liquor ash, wrote a note, and placed it on the table. He approached the innkeeper and said, "I just bought a hot duck head on the street; could I borrow a knife and anvil?" The innkeeper said, "Why don't you bring it over and let me cook it?" Zhang Da replied, "I can cook it myself; no need to trouble yourself." He then took the knife and anvil into the room, leaving the door slightly ajar. The innkeeper, suspicious, noticed Zhang Da's tear-stained eyes, which didn't seem like he had been drinking. He wondered what the knife and anvil were for, so he secretly peeked through the crack in the door. Suddenly, he saw the charcoal fire blazing in the stove, with a tile on top. The knife and anvil were placed on a chair, and the innkeeper unzipped his trousers, revealing his erect member. The innkeeper, still puzzled, saw Zhang Da lift the member with his left hand, place it on the table, and then raise a knife in his right hand to cut it off. The innkeeper was about to break down the door and shout when, with a loud thud, the member fell to the ground. Zhang Da, enduring the pain, took a pinch of the powder and applied it to his wound. He then collapsed to the ground, blood gushing out like a fountain. The shopkeeper cried out in despair! He rushed into the room and found Zhang Da's face ashen and unconscious. He hurriedly called his helpers in, saying, "This man has done nothing to harm us, yet he cut off his genitals to kill us. What should we do?" The waiter suddenly noticed a piece of paper on the table and understood the method. The shopkeeper, fearing for Zhang Da's life, had no choice but to follow the instructions on the paper. He picked up the genitals, placed them on a tile, and in a short time, burned them until they were charred black. He then ground them into a fine powder. He also crushed some pills, mixed them with liquor, and forced Zhang Da to swallow the mixture after prying open his teeth. Zhang Da's face gradually reddened, and the bleeding stopped. The two helped each other onto the bed. After a while, Zhang Da moved his limbs and cried out, "I'm in so much pain!" The shopkeeper complained, "I have no grudge against you, why did you do this to hurt me?" Zhang Da said, "You don't know my suffering. Even if I die, it will only cost you a cheap coffin. No one will take my life, so don't panic." The shopkeeper said, "What sin has a penis committed? Does cutting it off mean you can share my suffering? What nonsense!" Although he said this, he was truly afraid of causing someone's death. From then on, he took good care of Zhang Da. A Taoist priest also applied medicinal powder and poultices, and after more than ten days of careful care, Zhang Da finally recovered completely. A few days later, Zhang Da had gradually recovered and thought, "I only have a dozen or so taels of silver on me. If I pay the inn tax, I won't have much for travel expenses." He said to the innkeeper, "Thank you for your kindness in saving my life. But I have no way to borrow money for food and inn tax. What should I do?" The innkeeper, eager for him to leave to avoid trouble, said, "You can send the inn tax and food money another day when you are ready. Now that you are fully recovered, you can set off." Zhang Da thanked him, packed his things, and left. It is said: "Where the carriage goes, joy abounds; the flowers stir the heart, thoughts remain uneasy; dreams stir the heart, who cherishes the flowers? Love, planted, brings joy. How will things be in the capital? Let's see in the next chapter." Chapter Two: Zhang Da, Yi Zhong, assists the Emperor; Wang Cheng, before the palace, flatters the sycophant.
The poem reads: "The king and his face are separated, we gaze at each other with nowhere in sight; the dream is short, but the affection is long, I cannot forget him." Zhang Da thanked the innkeeper, packed his things, and set off. He traveled day and night, saving every penny, and before he knew it, he had arrived in the capital. That evening, he entered the capital and stayed at an inn. The next day, he asked the innkeeper, "I wish to become a eunuch, but I don't know how." The innkeeper replied, "To become a eunuch, one must be recommended by a court official to enter the palace." Zhang Da thought to himself, "I want an official's recommendation? Besides, my travel expenses are meager; if I run out, won't I starve? I'll find another way to make a living and then discuss it further." He changed his clothes and went for a stroll in the streets. Meanwhile, Zhengde, then the Crown Prince, was in leisure time, dressed in plain clothes, and accompanied by a junior eunuch, walked to the residence of Cheng Liang, the Minister of War. Cheng Liang, a sycophant, upon seeing the Crown Prince arrive, immediately invited him to play chess at a stone table in the back garden. After the arrangements were made, the family and servants went out through the back door, but the door was not properly closed and was blown open by the wind. Zhang Da happened to arrive at this time and, finding the garden serene, felt drowsy. He thought, "Why not go in and rest for a while?" He noticed two men playing chess on a rock, which suited his purposes perfectly. He went over to observe and saw that the game was in full swing; both men were engrossed in their pieces, oblivious to the onlookers. The prince was about to move his red knight to capture the black knight, but Cheng Liang, instead of using the knight to kill, moved his knight to create a heavy cannon, a dead end. The prince, unaware of the trap, was overjoyed and quickly moved his knight to capture the black knight. Seeing this, Zhang Da exclaimed, "Capturing the knight is useless; the heavy cannon is already dead!" The prince stopped, thought about the whole game, looked back at Zhang Da, and laughed, "If it weren't for your guidance, I would have almost fallen into a dead end!" He then moved a red cannon in front of the black cannon, and the game ended. Zhang Da made a few more moves, and the black pieces were dead. The Crown Prince won a game and exclaimed with delight, "You are indeed capable! You can take care of me and give me pointers." Zhang Da thought to himself, "Since this man calls himself 'I,' he must be a member of the imperial family." He then gave Zhang Da detailed instruction, and in a flash, Zhang Da won two more games. Cheng Liang praised him, "This is truly a master; I cannot defeat him." The Crown Prince was overjoyed and asked, "Who are you? What are your skills?" Zhang Da knelt down and said, "I am from Nanyang, Kaifeng, Henan. I was castrated, so I came to the capital to seek a position as a eunuch, but I have not had the opportunity." The Crown Prince said, "I am the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. Now that you have cleaned your body, have a eunuch examine you." The eunuch then led Zhang Da to be examined and soon returned to report, "Zhang Da has been cleaned and castrated; I have come to report this to the Crown Prince." The Crown Prince said, "Zhang Da may serve me." After thanking the Crown Prince, Zhang Da returned to the palace with him. The next day, he went to an inn to retrieve his luggage and entered the palace. Zhang Da was quick-witted and eloquent, and he was very pleasing to the Crown Prince. More than half a month later, Wang Cheng, a eunuch in the palace, learned of this and reported, "Your Highness, Zhang Da has no one to vouch for him. I beg you to send him out of the palace to avoid the court pursuing this servant." The Crown Prince then asked Zhang Da, "Do you have any officials in the court?" Zhang Da replied, "I only have my cousin Zhang Jun, who holds the official position of Minister of Personnel." The Crown Prince said to Wang Cheng, "Go see Zhang Jun and obtain a guarantee." Wang Cheng received the order and left the palace to see Zhang Jun. After bowing and sitting down, he said, "Sir, I have a relative, Zhang Yi's son, Zhang Da, who lives in Kaifeng, Henan. He has now been castrated and entered the palace to serve the Crown Prince. I wish to have you vouch for him. I wonder what you think?" Zhang Jun thought to himself, "Zhang Da's family is not poor. Why would he be castrated? He is probably not a decent person. If something happens to him, the guarantee will be implicated." He replied, "I have lived here for a long time and have always been in the court. I do not concern myself with matters concerning relatives. I dare not make a guarantee." Wang Cheng then took his leave and returned to the Crown Prince to report this. He then said, "Since Zhang Jun dares not protect him, Your Highness should send Zhang Da out of the palace, lest the Emperor reprimand you." The Crown Prince said, "You may leave now, and we will discuss this further." Zhang Da deeply resented Zhang Jun for not protecting him. Half a month later, Wang Cheng saw that Zhang Da was still in the palace. As the saying goes, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain," so he reported to the Emperor in a side hall, "Your Highness has taken in a person of unknown origin named Zhang Da. As a servant in charge of the six palaces, I should report this." The Emperor said, "How can a person without proper status reside in the palace! Order the palace eunuchs to expel Zhang Da immediately, without delay!" Zhang Da was greatly alarmed upon hearing this and went to see the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince said, "The imperial decree has been issued. I have drafted a note attached. You may temporarily stay at Cheng Liang's residence. I will certainly give you an important position in the future." Zhang Da packed his things and left the palace. The palace eunuchs handed over the decree, and that was the end of the story. Meanwhile, Zhang Da arrived at Cheng Liang's residence. Upon seeing the Crown Prince's edict, Cheng Liang knew the Crown Prince doted on Zhang Da and prepared wine and a study for him to rest in, showing him utmost hospitality. Before they knew it, a year had passed. At this time, the King of the Western Barbarians died without an heir, and the royal family fought for the throne. Duke Zhang Mao of Yingguo led an army to make peace with the barbarians, but then the Emperor died, and the Crown Prince ascended the throne, granting a general amnesty. He immediately appointed Zhang Da as the Grand Eunuch, keeping him by his side constantly and obeying his every word. Zhang Da then built a separate eunuch's residence to enjoy his new life, with civil and military officials vying for his favor. Zhang Da served Emperor Zhengde daily, and seeing Zhengde's incompetence, he plotted to usurp power. He sent silver to Zheng Fei, Wu Long, Wan Qing, and others at Sanjie Mountain, instructing them to secretly recruit men for their grand plan. Zheng Fei and Zhang Da were both from Nanyang. Initially poor, Zheng Fei had repeatedly received favors from Zhang Da and possessed great strength. Later, Zheng Fei joined Wu Long and Wan Qing at Sanjie Mountain, becoming sworn brothers with them, and eventually became a bandit. Zhang Da, a trusted confidant, harbored resentment towards Wang Cheng for his recent dismissal and sought revenge. He consulted with Mu Hong, the Minister of War, and Jiao Ting, the Minister of Revenue, saying, "I want to kill Wang Cheng, strip him of his power in the Directorate of Ceremonial, and remove the old scoundrel's three generations of official duties. He has no criminal record, making it difficult to act."
Jiao Ting frowned, a plan forming in his mind. He said, "I've got it! I remember when the Yellow River collapsed, the late emperor, knowing Wang Cheng's honesty, appointed him to oversee the construction. Wang Cheng, out of compassion for the common people, did not pay the official work, but instead paid the people's wages, embezzling 100,000 taels of silver. Later, he reported this, and the late emperor, knowing it was out of compassion for the people's suffering, decreed that the embezzlement be waived. But Wang Cheng, being honest, did not request an explanation. The account book is still in our ministry. Now that the national treasury is empty, you can request the return of this silver, and Wang Cheng will surely die in poverty." Zhang Da was overjoyed and said, "My worthy friend, quickly retrieve the account book so I can make the request and end the old scoundrel's life!" Mu Hong and Jiao Ting agreed and withdrew. The next day, Emperor Zhengde held court, and civil and military officials took their places. Zhang Da, Mu Hong, and Jiao Ting knelt and reported, "Your Majesty, the national treasury is currently empty. Our records show that over the past twelve years, the construction along the banks of the Yellow River has been completed, but 50,000 taels of silver remain, held by Wang Cheng of the Directorate of Ceremonial. We beg that this silver be recovered and used." Emperor Zhengde was pleased and said, "You may present the account books for my perusal." Jiao Ting presented the account books, and the Emperor saw that there was a record of 100,000 taels owed. He immediately summoned Wang Cheng to the court and instructed him, "You may return the 100,000 taels of silver owed by the late Emperor to your personal use. Do not delay." Wang Cheng was greatly surprised upon hearing this and said, "How could I have owed the late Emperor any silver?" Emperor Zhengde said, "The late Emperor repaired the Yellow River; the account books are here. How can you say there is none?" Only then did Wang Cheng understand and report back. "If it's about repairing the Yellow River, it's only because of the floods that have caused so much suffering for the people. This servant couldn't bear to pay the official work, so he embezzled 100,000 taels. The late Emperor said, 'This is out of compassion for the people, not embezzlement, and the imperial edict exempts him from pursuit.' If this servant truly embezzled, the late Emperor would have already been pursuing him for a long time. I beg Your Majesty to see the truth." Zhang Da hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty is wise beyond measure. If the late Emperor truly exempted him from pursuit, why isn't the debt cleared from the books? It's clear that Wang Cheng, relying on his three generations of experience as a high-ranking official, disregards the law! If we don't impose a strict deadline, how will the silver be cleared!" Upon hearing this, Zhengde angrily shouted, "Wang Cheng, you wretched servant, how dare you deceive and despise me! I hereby order you to be temporarily imprisoned in the Imperial Prison for one month. If you don't pay in full, I will take your head!" He then ordered the guards to escort Wang Cheng to the Imperial Prison. The civil and military officials then realized that Zhang Da was indeed powerful, and none dared to speak further. They all dispersed from court. Meanwhile, Wang Cheng was imprisoned in the Imperial Prison. The prison officials, respecting his three generations of experience as a high-ranking official, placed him in a small cell for accommodation. Wang Cheng then revealed his miscalculation: the late emperor's accounts were wiped clean without being reported, and Zhang Da, harboring resentment from his past exile, was framed. He told the prison officials everything. The jailer asked, "Sir, your family is so wealthy! What do you fear?" Wang Cheng replied, "I only have one adopted son, Wang Hai, who holds the official position of Grand Counselor. He lives in Hezhong Prefecture, Henan. His family's wealth is less than a few thousand taels of silver, but he was castrated from a young age." The jailer exclaimed in surprise, "If that's the case, how can the treasury compensate us?" Wang Cheng said, "It's alright. I also have another adopted son named Wang Tao, who holds the official position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. His family's wealth is a million. Because he was afraid of being harmed, he took me as his adoptive father. He went home after his death and has now completed his mourning period. I will send a letter to him, instructing him to send 100,000 taels of silver to the capital to save my life." The jailer said, "In that case, sir, please write the letter quickly. I will immediately send a messenger to Wuchang Prefecture overnight." Wang Cheng hurriedly wrote a letter, and the jailer then sent a messenger who was skilled at long-distance travel. Wang Cheng rewarded him with twenty taels of silver. The messenger took the letter and set off, traveling day and night. In just a few days, he arrived at the Wang family residence in Wuchang Prefecture. He told the gatekeeper, "Please inform your elders that Eunuch Wang from the capital has sent someone here with a letter." Wang Tao was greatly alarmed upon reading the letter, exclaiming, "Eunuch Wang has unexpectedly met with such a calamity!" He then ordered the messenger to have a hearty meal in the kitchen, wrote a reply, and instructed his servants to quickly prepare the silver and gold bars to take to the capital. A moment later, the messenger returned with the reply. Wang Tao rewarded the messenger with ten taels of silver and instructed him, "Go back to see Eunuch Wang first. I will deliver the silver to the capital immediately to make amends and ensure his peace of mind." The messenger thanked him and returned home. Meanwhile, fearing the weight of the silver would delay the journey, Wang Tao decided to set off by water. Unfortunately, the waters were rough, causing several delays. When he reached Tianjin port, it had been twenty-eight days. Wang Tao immediately ordered two servants to go directly to the capital to inquire whether Eunuch Wang was in prison and to report back immediately so that the silver could be transported to the capital. If he had been murdered, they were also to report back. The servants obeyed and set off. It turned out that Tianjin Port was 240 li from the capital, and the servants had to travel until the next day to enter the city. Meanwhile, Zhang Da was eager for the deadline to pass so he could kill Wang Cheng. On the 31st, he was overjoyed and reported, "His Majesty has decreed that Wang Cheng pay 100,000 taels of silver within a month. Now that the deadline has passed, he still hasn't paid, which is utterly disrespectful to the law. If he isn't executed, the law will be swept away." Upon hearing this, Zhengde was furious and said, "This wretched servant is truly disrespectful! Summon him immediately for execution!" While the official was away with the order, Wang Cheng was in the imperial prison. After receiving Wang Tao's reply, he waited patiently. On that day, Wang Cheng discussed with the prison official, "Why hasn't the silver arrived yet? Could it be due to unfavorable feng shui?"
Suddenly, a jailer reported, "An imperial edict has been issued! Please receive the edict, sir." The jailer hurriedly went out of the prison to receive the edict, and then saw Wang Cheng and said, "The imperial edict summons you to the court." Wang Cheng exclaimed in surprise, "If I go to court this time, my life will certainly be in danger, and I will only have failed to live up to my superior's good intentions." The jailer comforted him, "There will surely be ministers in court who will vouch for you, so there should be no problem." Wang Cheng arrived at the Meridian Gate, alighted from his sedan chair, and entered the court. In the hall, his shackles were removed, and he knelt down prostrate. Emperor Zhengde cursed, "You eunuch, you dare to disrespect me! You have failed to pay the silver by the deadline! This is utterly despicable!" Wang Cheng kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm your fury! I am poor and have no wealth. I was ordered to pay the silver by the deadline the other day, and I have already sent letters to relatives and friends to borrow it. They have already sent the silver. However, due to the obstruction caused by the feng shui, I beg for a ten-day extension. If I do not pay it in full, I am willing to die." Zhang Da was shocked to hear this, "If Wang Cheng pays the silver in full, he will only make a deep enemy." He hurriedly said, "How can there be a situation where one is penniless for thirty days and then suddenly has 100,000 taels of silver in ten days? This is clearly a case of delaying and deceiving the emperor. If he is not executed, the law of the land will not be upheld." Emperor Zhengde was furious and cursed, "You eunuch, how dare you be so disrespectful!" He ordered the guards to take Wang Cheng out of the Meridian Gate and execute him. Warriors rushed forward to seize Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng stood up, pointed at Zhang Da, and cursed, "You vile slave, you framed my family! If you have any sense of right and wrong, I will surely capture your soul!" Zhengde cursed, "You yourself owe the treasury money, yet you refuse to repay it, and now you insult good people!" He ordered Wang Cheng to be executed immediately. Warriors escorted him out of the Meridian Gate. A pitiful old eunuch, a man of three generations, died at the hands of a villain. In a moment, warriors presented Wang Cheng's head. Zhengde ordered the head to be hung outside the city gate as a warning. All the civil and military officials who saw it were chilled to the bone. The emperor appointed Zhang Da to head the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs of the Six Palaces, dismissed the court, and the people wept. Upon hearing this news, Wang Tao's servants hurriedly prepared a coffin, went to the Meridian Gate to collect Wang Cheng's body, and summoned men to transport the coffin to the port of Tianjin. Wang Tao, upon hearing the news, wept bitterly, prepared wine and food for a memorial service, and then ordered his trusted family members to escort the coffin back to Hezhong Prefecture and hand it over to Wang Hai. He thought to himself, "I will devise a plan to bribe the treacherous officials and ensure that Wang Cheng's head is sent back for burial. Only then will I be satisfied." His family obeyed the order and carried the coffin to Hezhong Prefecture. Indeed: In life, loyalty and righteousness are still fragrant; his spirit will be praised for eternity. It is expected that the treacherous hero will sink to hell; Heaven's retribution will be evident. Will Wang Tao be able to buy Wang Cheng's head? Let's see in the next chapter. Chapter 3: Wang Tao obtains
the head through wealth. The stinking fortune teller cleverly teases the eunuch with a poem: "Sigh, daughter, you must part; every penny breaks your heart; I sigh that this is hard to see; you hate, and your wife is also saddened." It is said that Wang Tao was determined to buy Wang Cheng's head and went to the capital to rent an inn to settle down. Three days later, after breakfast on the second day, he sat in front of the inn dressed in plain clothes, watching the buying and selling. Suddenly, a eunuch passed by and met a scholar. He bowed and asked, "Where is Eunuch Liu going?" The eunuch replied, "I am on official business in the city at the behest of my master." After saying this, he left. Touched by his thoughts, Wang Tao asked the innkeeper, "Who is this young eunuch?" The innkeeper replied, "He is Zhang Da's trusted servant. His surname is also Liu, but I don't know his name." Wang Tao said, "Please go and invite him back. Just say a merchant has invited him. Don't reveal my background."
The innkeeper hurriedly rushed forward and called out, "Eunuch Liu, please stop! A merchant in my inn requests a word." It turned out the servant's name was Liu Jian, and he was not yet castrated. He was lustful for women and even more so for wealth. Upon hearing this, he secretly thought, "A good thing to make money must be coming." He then went into the inn with the innkeeper. Wang Tao ordered wine to be prepared and invited Liu Jian to a guest room. After they sat down as host and guest, Wang Tao said, "How have you been, sir?" Liu Jian saw that Wang Tao had a purplish complexion, three long strands of hair, and was impeccably dressed, and knew he must be a wealthy man. He then asked, "We're on official business in Nanyang, and some wealthy families are hosting a banquet. Are you among them?" Wang Tao seized the opportunity and replied, "My surname is Wang, and my humble name is Biji. I run a pearl shop in Henan. I've had several banquets with you before, and I know your generosity, so I'm here to reminisce." The banquet was prepared, and Liu Jian, after some modesty, asked, "Brother Wang, what brings you to the capital?" Wang Tao replied, "Because I have some wealth, I've been repeatedly extorted by corrupt officials. Therefore, I've come to the capital to donate money for a position and seek protection. I wonder if you have any connections, sir?" Upon hearing this, Liu Jian secretly rejoiced, saying, "This is indeed a chance to make money." He replied, "Brother Wang, do you not know the power of my father-in-law? Who in the entire court doesn't admire him? Even becoming a current official would be easy, let alone holding an empty title. But I wonder how much silver you have with you?" Wang Tao said, "I have thirty thousand taels prepared. Is that enough?" Liu Jian said, "That's sufficient, but we need to go out of the city to handle some business today. We'll discuss it another day." As he was about to part, Wang Tao said, "It's a rare opportunity today; we must drink a few more cups." Liu Jian sat down and drank again. Wang Tao's sweet words and pleasantries made them congenial. Then he asked, "Whose head is hanging under the Zhangyi Gate?"
Liu Jian replied, "Only now do I realize my father-in-law's power. That head belongs to the treacherous Wang Cheng, a man who served three dynasties. He offended my father-in-law, who reported him to the court, resulting in his execution and the display of his head at the city gate. Don't you know, Brother Wang?" Wang Tao said, "Even if he's dead, why display his head? But you are Zhang Gonggong's confidant. I wonder if you could possibly steal his head?" Liu Jian laughed, "Brother Wang, you are mistaken. Wang Cheng is not a relative of ours. Would I dare to break the law to steal his head?"
Wang Tao said, "If you can steal the head, you can ask for any amount of silver you desire." "Son," Liu Jian said. "That's troublesome. I asked you, Brother Wang, to buy a head with a lot of silver, but you refused; if it's a small amount of silver, and you asked me to steal it, I still wouldn't agree." Wang Tao said, "Just tell me how much silver you want." Liu Jian thought to himself, "This man is determined to buy a dead man's head, is he perhaps mentally challenged?" He then said, "If you want a head, it will cost at least three thousand taels of silver." Wang Tao said, "What's wrong with three thousand taels?" Liu Jian asked doubtfully, "Do you really dare to buy it for three thousand taels?" Wang Tao then took a ladle, opened the chest, and showed it to Liu Jian, saying, "Gold is here, what's so hard to buy?" Liu Jian saw the chest full of gold and silver and was filled with greed. He then said, "Brother Wang, please bring some paper and weigh out the gold. It's three thousand taels of silver. I'll wrap it up, write a seal, and give it to you. Once I bring the head, you can return the original lining gold to me to avoid any delay."
Wang Tao said, "Excellent! Excellent!" Liu Jian calculated the gold, sealed it securely, and handed it to Wang Tao, saying, "I'll take my leave now." Wang Tao hurriedly asked, "When will you bring it, sir? Please don't break your promise." Liu Jian laughed and said, "Only Brother Wang would buy this; how could anyone else?" After taking his leave, he secretly rejoiced, thinking, "My luck has turned! I've met such a person! Three thousand taels of silver is equivalent to a head, but how could the city guard give me his head?"
Liu Jian was distressed that if the city officials refused to hand over the head, he would lose all his money. In his thoughts, he suddenly remembered someone: Yu Niang. Yu Niang had risen to fame because of her reputation as a courtesan. She knew many wealthy merchants and officials. Before Liu Jian became an official, Yu Niang had been assassinated, and Liu Jian had saved her life. If he needed her help now, she would surely come to help him pull strings. He immediately sent someone to invite her, and soon Yu Niang arrived as promised. Liu Jian was overjoyed. She was as alluring as Wu Xixi, as beautiful as Wang Zhaojun of the north. Her beauty was like clouds and mist, as if she were a fairy descending from heaven. She was as plump as Yang Guifei, as slender as Zhao Feiyan. The immortals, having come from afar, found Yu Niang still as beautiful as ever in the Golden Valley Garden. They prepared wine and food to entertain her. After several toasts, Liu Jian said, "I invited you here today because I have a favor to ask." He then gave his instructions. That night, under the hazy moonlight, the two, reunited after a long separation, were filled with longing and desire. They undressed and went to bed. Seeing Yu Niang's exposed skin, Liu Jian was aroused. He embraced her and kissed her. He had secretly brought aphrodisiac pills, which he used as a pretext to touch her vulva, then secretly inserted them. He then touched her breasts, finding them plump, smooth, and soft. He gently caressed them, and Yu Niang's legs moved involuntarily. Liu Jian knew the drug was taking effect, but pretended not to notice. He placed his hand on her vulva, exploring its moistness, finding it already incredibly lubricated. He straddled Yu Niang, parted her legs, and saw several tender, red, and purplish slits of flesh. Liu Jian hurriedly sniffed the vulva, finding the scent as fragrant as orchids. Liu Jian's penis was already erect, hard as a pestle. Unable to restrain himself, he aimed at her vulva and thrust his penis in. Just then, Yu Niang jerked, and with a soft "thud," it went all the way in. Yu Niang cried out, welcoming him with great pleasure. Liu Jian thrust forcefully, and although he didn't reach the very core, he still experienced eight-tenths of the pleasure. In a short time, he thrust over three hundred times. Yu Niang had been a prostitute for many years and was very skilled in the ways of love and lust, so how could Liu Jian's lust not be aroused? Liu Jian spread Yu Niang's legs wide, exposing her vulva, and began thrusting wildly, over seven hundred times in an instant. Yu Niang gasped for breath, only able to moan incessantly. Her legs gripped Liu Jian's waist and hips, her arms wrapped tightly around his neck, her slender waist swaying and her fat arms thrashing about. Liu Jian's lust was aroused, so he forced Yu Niang's legs up high, buried his head in his penis, and began to thrust and pound, pumping for nearly an hour. Her juices flowed freely, and they had to change their handkerchiefs three times and have sex six times before finally taking a break. After a short rest, Liu Jian, still not satisfied, leaped off the bed, made Yu Niang lie down, lifted her legs onto his shoulders, and thrust his engorged penis hard. Yu Niang nearly died from her throbbing pain, her clitoris almost crushed. She rubbed her breasts together, her cries of pleasure ringing out. Liu Jian, aroused, began to thrust and pound wildly, another round of frantic movements, leaving Yu Niang in a state of ecstasy, her body trembling and her mind reeling, ejaculating repeatedly. Knowing he was about to ejaculate, Yu Niang began to shake violently, her moans shaking the room. Liu Jian's penis trembled rapidly, his semen gushing out, and Yu Niang, lying on her back, received his semen, which also came out, and they ejaculated together. Liu Jian's words came out loudly, some semen flowing down the ground. Yu Niang's vulva was a mess, red and swollen. Yu Niang took a handkerchief and wiped it all over. She got into bed and helped him straighten his clothes. As she caressed him, Liu Jian's penis became erect again. Yu Niang was happy and quickly tried to pinch it. Seeing that it wasn't very hard, she bent down and swallowed it, licking the rest of the semen clean. The penis was domineering and couldn't be contained. It sprang out. Yu Niang leaped on top of him, aiming for the root, all the way in. Liu Jian held her slender waist and plump buttocks, his desire rising again. He thrust and played with her. Yu Niang undulated and pounded him, dancing wildly, displaying her utmost seductive skills. Liu Jian thrust deeply and forcefully, never missing the core. The two of them made love for another hour before finally ejaculating. The rain stopped and the clouds dispersed, leaving the bed covered in semen and vaginal fluid. They quickly washed their penises and vulvas, then embraced and fell asleep. The next day, Liu Jian brought Yu Niang to the palace to pay his respects to Zhang Da. Zhang Da, seeing the radiant beauty of Liu Jian's wife, stared intently at her. Yu Niang knelt to greet him. Zhang Da said, "What brings you here?" Liu Jian replied, "This servant passed by the city gate and saw Wang Cheng's head; the stench was unbearable." Zhang Da said, "He has a grudge against me, and I intend to expose him." Liu Jian said, "This servant knew Your Excellency wanted him exposed, and you have thus given him a good reputation." Zhang Da said, "Exposing him to the public is unfortunate; what good reputation could there be?" Liu Jian said, "This servant just saw three people entering the city; one was from this area, and the other two were carrying bundles—they must be from other provinces." The two men suddenly asked the local man, "Whose head is hanging under the city wall?" The local man replied, "This is the head of Wang Cheng, the loyal official of three generations." The man from another province said, "I also know of Wang Cheng's reputation for loyalty, but I've never met him. Now I see his head; I wonder who killed him. What a pity! What a tragedy!" The three men looked at it for a while before entering the city. Wouldn't that glorify his name? In my humble opinion, why not throw the head into the Yellow River so his soul can never find peace? Wouldn't that be even better?
Zhang Da nodded and said, "Yes. Then throw Wang Cheng's head into the Yellow River." Liu Jian said, "But I'm afraid the city guard will refuse. What should we do?" Zhang Da said, "It's alright." He then wrote a handwritten order. He added, "Take this with you and show it to the city guard. Tell him that if the court has any objections, I will take responsibility." Now, this city guard, Ren Liang, had been an official for many years. He was lewd by nature, and countless respectable women had been stopped and raped when they passed through his city gates. However, he was extremely shrewd and cunning, so none of the women who had been raped reported to the authorities. Liu Jian knew the city guard's cunning well. After bidding farewell to Zhang Da, he returned and, with Yu Niang's help, suggested that Yu Niang use her beauty to seduce him. He was sure this would work. The two went straight to the city wall, and Ren Liang quickly led them to the city tower. After exchanging pleasantries and sitting down, Ren Liang paid little attention to Liu Jian's visit. However, he was captivated by the alluring woman beside Liu Jian, who made him lose his composure and stare intently at him. Yu Niang, noticing the city guard's interest in her, subtly sent him a love letter, luring him into a trap. Liu Jian observed this but pretended not to notice. After a short while, Liu Jian showed Ren Liang the imperial edict. Ren Liang, a seasoned and cunning official, found the edict unquestionable, but Liu Jian's presence today filled him with unease and doubt. He then decided to join Liu Jian in throwing his head away. Liu Jian, upon hearing this, was surprised, thinking to himself, "If I agree, wouldn't I ruin everything?" The city guard insisted on going, so Ren Liang reluctantly explained the situation. Liu Jian gave him a thousand taels of silver to settle the matter, but his lustful eyes remained fixed on Yu Niang. Seeing this, Liu Jian winked at Yu Niang, who then said sweetly to the city guard, "Lord Ren, tonight this humble woman wishes to play on the city wall. Would you be so kind as to accompany me?" The city guard replied, "I would be delighted, but would your husband agree?" Liu Jian said, "It is said that wives are like clothes; she is not my wife. Lord Ren, you may do as you please." After saying this, he bid farewell to Yu Niang and the city guard, took Wang Cheng's head, placed it in a box, slung the box over his shoulder, and hurried to the inn. Meanwhile, the city guard, seeing that Yu Niang had stayed, was as sweet as if he had eaten honey. He showered her with hospitality, bringing out fine wine and delicacies for her to enjoy, and drinking with her attentively. After several rounds of drinks, the city guard was already lustful, and Yu Niang was also half-drunk. The city guard picked up Yu Niang, reeking of alcohol, and began to undress her. With a fierce tug, he ripped off her bodice, revealing her pink breasts. He grasped one breast in one hand and began to suckle the other, but before he could even get a good taste in, Yu Niang, through her trousers, pinched his penis. The force was too strong, and they both fell onto the bed. The city guard pretended to be fast asleep, but his manhood remained erect, trying to tear through his trousers. Yu Niang, a seasoned prostitute, laughed and scolded him, then reached out her slender hands to help him undo his trousers. The city guard remained silent, gently lifting his hips. Yu Niang couldn't pull it down; it was too large, obstructing her path. Ren Liang smiled and forcefully pulled down her trousers. Yu Niang stared intently at it; it throbbed wildly. Delighted, she lowered her head and took it into her mouth, swallowing it greedily. The city guard, aroused by Yu Niang's advances, stripped off her trousers, revealing a small, tender pubic hair below her navel, with a bright red and purple slit in the middle, pulsating. Unable to resist, the guard, holding his penis, thrust it in. Yu Niang, in unbearable pain, curled up on her back. The guard climbed onto the bed, pushed up her legs, and thrust again. Yu Niang tried to dodge, but missed. In desperation, he covered her, his waist thrusting, his penis throbbing and thrashing wildly between her legs. Yu Niang, aroused by his ministrations, also felt a surge of desire. Her vulva, rubbed and rubbed by the rubbing handle, gradually produced a glistening, moist fluid. The guard, overjoyed, supported her and thrust forcefully, using the flowing fluid to penetrate halfway, but finding it difficult to reach further. He tried to push further, but Yu Niang cried out in pain, desperately pushing against his chest. The guard then placed his tongue in Yu Niang's mouth, swirling it around several times, causing saliva to flow down her cheeks. Her lower body became even more abundant and unrestrained. Yu Niang then gripped her arms and vigorously met his thrusts. Suddenly, a thick stream of fluid gushed from her flower chamber. Using the rubbing handle to penetrate her, he thrust and pounded, about five hundred times. Yu Niang's soul seemed to float to the heavens, her hands clutching her breasts, moaning softly. She experienced a cycle of life and death, repeatedly losing herself in the process. After nearly half an hour, the fluid in Yu Niang's vulva gradually dried up. Seeing this, the city guard, having already penetrated deeply several times, felt his glans swell and his semen gushed out, causing Yu Niang to lose control again. The bed was a mess; the two got up, wiped themselves clean, and then fell asleep, neck to neck. Meanwhile, Wang Tao was sitting idly in an inn, surrounded by many people drinking. Liu Jian, fearing the stench, quickly led him into Wang Tao's room and pushed the box under the bed. Seeing Liu Jian enter, Wang Tao asked, "Have you brought it, sir? Why are you in such a hurry?" Liu Jian grinned and said, "Quickly, bring the gold!" Wang Tao said, "Cash for goods! Why are you only asking for gold?" Liu Jian pulled the box from under the bed and said, "The head is in the box; quickly go and get the gold." Wang Tao hurriedly opened the box and examined it closely; indeed, it was Wang Cheng's head. Liu Jian shook his head and said, "You're overthinking it. Three thousand taels of silver for a head? Do you think I'd give you a fake?"
Wang Tao then paid Liu Jian the original amount. Liu Jian accepted it and inspected it, then asked with a smile, "Brother Wang, are you buying this to make medicine or a sachet? Please tell me the details." Wang Tao replied, "A person should live a life of charity. Seeing this head so filthy, I decided to do a good deed and buy it for burial." Liu Jian thought to himself, "What a fool in this world! Three thousand taels of silver to buy a head for a good deed—it seems my luck has finally turned." Liu Jian took his leave and returned to his residence. He hid the silver and then saw Zhang Da, who said, "I've already thrown Wang Cheng's head into the Yellow River." Zhang Da
said, "Indeed capable. You may leave now." Liu Jian withdrew without further ado. Meanwhile, Wang Tao, having obtained Wang Cheng's head, had a wooden bucket made to store it and sent his servants to take it to Hezhong Prefecture in Henan Province to be buried by Wang Hai. He bribed the Ministry of Personnel, and after several days, he received an imperial edict to appear before the emperor. Emperor Zhengde reinstated him as a remonstrating official. After court, Wang Tao inevitably had to pay respects to his superiors and colleagues. Several days later, he finally understood that Wang Cheng's affair had not yet begun. One day, he said to his family, "It is hateful that Zhang Da plotted to harm Wang Cheng and is now manipulating state affairs. I should submit a memorial to the emperor to eliminate this traitor for the country." His family advised, "Zhang Da has many treacherous followers, and the court trusts him. If you submit a memorial, wouldn't you be adding fuel to the fire and harming yourself? Wait a few years, and when his treacherous followers have weakened, you can gather your colleagues to remonstrate and eliminate him. I fear that his haste will make success difficult." Wang Tao angrily replied, "It is my duty. If I do not submit a memorial, wouldn't I be betraying the late emperor's great kindness? Even if something unforeseen happens, I will still be remembered for eternity." He then submitted a memorial and went to court the next morning. After the court audience, he... The memorial, submitted prostrate, read: "Your subject, Wang Tao, Grand Counselor, has something to report." Emperor Zhengde asked, "What is it?" Wang Tao replied, "The treacherous eunuch Zhang Da, harboring resentment towards Wang Cheng, the Director of Ceremonial, was expelled by the late Emperor. He then ordered his cronies Cheng Liang and Jiao Ting to falsely accuse Wang Cheng of embezzling treasury funds. Your Majesty, misled by slander, unjustly executed Wang Cheng and displayed his head publicly. Unexpectedly, Zhang Da, greedy for money and disregarding the law, dared to sell Wang Cheng's head for silver. This is truly deceiving the Emperor. I beg Your Majesty to issue a clear decree to investigate and punish these treacherous officials. May Wang Cheng's injustice be redressed; this would be a great blessing for the nation!" Having said this, he presented the memorial. The eunuchs received it and presented it to the Emperor. After reviewing the documents, Zheng De exclaimed, "Cheng Liang, Jiao Ting, Zhang Da, and others, how could you sell Wang Cheng's head for silver? Now that Wang Tao has submitted a remonstrance, what is your defense?" Cheng Liang and Jiao Ting hurriedly knelt and replied, "Your Majesty, please do not listen to Wang Tao's slander. If we are talking about Wang Cheng, who embezzled treasury funds, he should be executed by imperial decree. How can you say that we plotted to harm him? We have found that Wang Tao is Wang Cheng's adopted son, who abused Wang Cheng's power to commit evil. Wang Cheng has already been executed, so he harbors resentment and wants to harm us. We beg Your Majesty to be wise and execute Wang Tao for his false accusation." Zhang Da then prostrated himself and said, "Emperor Taizu decreed that officials outside the capital should not associate with eunuchs, as this would cause problems. Now, Wang Tao is a second-rank official, and high-ranking officials are bowing to eunuchs as their fathers, which is an extreme disgrace to the country. Moreover, Wang Cheng embezzled treasury funds and defied the imperial decree to be executed. What does this have to do with us? If you say that we sold his head for money, that is an overreach of the law and deception, and Heaven..." "How could anyone sell a head for silver to commit such a crime? This must be Wang Tao ordering the theft to frame this servant. If Your Majesty does not execute Wang Tao swiftly, there will be no way to teach your subjects a lesson!" Emperor Zhengde was furious and pointed at Wang Tao, saying, "You audacious Wang Tao, who has turned against the eunuch and stolen a head to frame someone else! If it weren't for Zhang Da's permission, I would have fallen for your treacherous scheme. Order the guards to take Wang Tao out of the Meridian Gate and execute him, then report back." The guards hurriedly stepped forward, but Wang Tao jumped up and blocked them with both hands, saying, "Wait!" He then said, "It was clearly Zhang Da who sent someone to the city guards to take Wang Cheng's head. How can you say that I stole it? Your Majesty can just ask the city guards and you will know." Emperor Zhengde was furious and said, "How dare you talk back! Guards, quickly bring out the head and execute him!" The guards obeyed the order and took Wang Tao out to be executed. A pitiful upright minister died in an instant. The Emperor issued an edict: "Hang the head at the Meridian Gate for all to see!" With a flick of his sleeve, he withdrew back to the palace. Wang Tao's servants bought a coffin, prepared his body, and buried him. The story goes: "While there's still breath, there are a thousand uses; once death comes, all is lost." Now, let's talk about Zhang Da leaving the court. He said to the two traitors, Cheng and Jiao, "If you two hadn't said Wang Tao was Wang Cheng's adopted son, he wouldn't have lost his life." The two traitors replied, "We know you didn't know, so we revealed it. But we don't know who sent Wang Cheng's head?"
Zhang Da said, "This must have been done by Liu Jian." He immediately summoned Liu Jian and asked, "Where did you put the head when I ordered you to do it the other day?" Liu Jian knelt down and replied, "I threw the head into the river." Zhang Da was furious and shouted, "Nonsense! You dare to lie to me! You sold the head for silver and said you threw it into the river!" He then recounted Wang Tao's remonstrance. "If it weren't for my great power, wouldn't I have been harmed by you? You still dare to lie to my face!" Seeing that his secret had been exposed, Liu Jian had no choice but to confess and explain the details of Wang Cheng's head's whereabouts. Liu Jian said, "I thought he was from a wealthy family and was doing good deeds, so I had no choice but to sell the head for three thousand taels of silver." Zhang Da shouted, "Nonsense! How can you buy a head for three thousand taels?" Liu Jian knelt down and reported, "The original silver is still there." Zhang Da checked it, ordered the eunuch to put it away, and then said to Liu Jian, "If you dare to lie to me, you will be punished." Liu Jian exclaimed in surprise, "I carried a dead man's head without getting paid, and it's bad luck. If I have to be punished now, I'll really suffer a loss."
Zhang Da laughed and said, "I won't punish you with silver, but I will punish you by making you fan me to cool off this summer." Liu Jian quickly kowtowed, "Thank you for not punishing me." It turned out that Zhang Da was fat and strong, and every summer he would make the eunuch fan him to cool off. That year the weather was hot early, so he made Liu Jian fan him to cool off. One day, after breakfast, Zhang Da sat on the drunken chair in the back hall and instructed Liu Jian, "Carefully fan me to cool off, so I can sleep!" Liu Jian obeyed and fanned him for a while, only to see Zhang Da snoring loudly. Liu Jian, who had been fanning himself day and night to cool off, was feeling drowsy in the summer heat. Seeing Zhang Da asleep, he was about to close his eyes when he suddenly lost consciousness and accidentally struck Zhang Da's nose with his jade fan. Zhang Da cried out, "Ouch!" and clutched his nose with both hands. Liu Jian was terrified and hurriedly knelt down. Zhang Da jumped up, pointed at Liu Jian, and cursed, "You dog of a servant, how dare you hit my nose?" Liu Jian, being quick-witted and outspoken, immediately replied, "Just now, I saw you sleeping, sir, and two streams of bloody saliva were protruding from your nose, sometimes extending, sometimes retracting. I thought, 'This monster in your nostrils will surely cause trouble,' so I used the fan to hit it. Unexpectedly, it retracted into your nose." Zhang Da was half-convinced and said, "Nonsense! A perfectly good nose, where would such a thing be?" Liu Jian said, "Your Excellency is so noble, it must be the appearance of a spirit." Zhang Da thought to himself, half-believing and half-doubting. He then said to Liu Jian, "In that case, summon a skilled fortune teller to find out the reason. Otherwise, I will surely cut off your head!" Liu Jian, timid, obeyed the order and left the mansion, returning to his own residence. Meanwhile, Yu Niang, still at Liu Jian's residence, saw his gloomy face and asked, "Sir, what is troubling you?" Liu Jian then recounted how he had fanned Zhang Da earlier that day, and sighed again. Coincidentally, at that very moment, a voice outside the door shouted, "Fortune telling!" The two rushed outside and stopped the fortune teller. This fortune teller, in his thirties, had a strange appearance, with a thick beard on his temples. He wore a blue cloth robe, held a white fan in his left hand, and a white signboard in his right, which read: "Zhang the Half-Immortal of Xinzhou, Fortune Teller." Although the signboard clearly stated "Half-Immortal," this Zhang was in reality a charlatan. Having roamed the martial world for years, using the guise of fortune-telling to extort money, use sweet talk, and rape countless respectable women, Zhang the fortune-teller suddenly saw a man and a woman approaching him. A thought crossed his mind: "In all my years of wandering the martial world, I've never seen such a seductive woman." He didn't even notice Liu Jian calling him. The fortune-teller, Zhang, snapped out of his reverie and hurriedly answered. Liu Jian asked, "Master, are you skilled in physiognomy?" Seeing that Liu Jian was dressed as a eunuch, Zhang the Half-Immortal quickly replied, "As for my physiognomy, it is incredibly accurate. Because I have never missed a beat, people call me Zhang the Half-Immortal. If I could levitate, I would be Zhang the Great Immortal. May I ask what instruction you have for me, sir? I humbly request your detailed explanation." Liu Jian said, "Then you are quite accurate." Zhang the Half-Immortal said, "How dare I? As for physiognomy, I am absolutely right. As for levitating, I only know how to ride clouds; I have only learned half of it, so I cannot speak of it." Upon hearing this, Liu Jian quickly shook his head and said, "That won't do. I need to find someone who is not accurate." With that, he bowed and left. Zhang the Half-Immortal beckoned him back. The questioner asked, "Why does Your Excellency wish to consult an inaccurate fortune teller? What is the reason?" Liu Jian replied, "The fortune teller is unaware of this. My father-in-law is Zhang Da, a high-ranking official in the Directorate of Ceremonial. This morning, he was fast asleep and asked me to fan him. I dozed off and accidentally hit him in the nose with the fan. Fearing his wrath, I pretended that two streams of blood were sticking out of his nose, so I knocked the fan down. Unexpectedly, the blood retracted. My father-in-law was fooled and somewhat believed me, so he asked me to call a fortune teller to find out the truth." "If you can accurately predict someone's fate, you'll surely say it's not true. Wouldn't that harm me? That's why I'm looking for an inaccurate fortune teller." Zhang Banxian laughed and said, "That's easy! I'll tell you about blood saliva now, how about that?" Liu Jian said, "That will do. Please come into the mansion, Taoist." After walking a few steps, Liu Jian said to Zhang Banxian, "If you can accurately describe his past and present life, you will be richly rewarded. I will first tell you about my father-in-law's life and his desires." "If I get the life-saving gold, I'll split it with you 40/60, is that alright?" Liu Jian then said, "Do you know how incredibly wealthy my father-in-law is? If he's happy, I'll subtly help him out, and the life-saving gold will be even more." The fortune teller said, "Then I'll comply. Tell me his whole story." Liu Jian said, "My father-in-law often says when he's drunk that he was poor when he was young. He was adopted at the age of six, and his stepfather died when he was six. After that, he became dissolute, and when he was eighteen, his stepmother also died. By the time he was twenty-one, he had thousands of families..." "My fortune is exhausted, and I have no relatives to rely on. I almost threw myself into the river to die. Fortunately, a strange man gave me medicine to castrate me, and thus I became rich and powerful. Now I wholeheartedly hope to become emperor. If you can get the gist of it, he will be pleased. Therefore, I don't care about the reward of millions of taels of silver!" The fortune teller said, "I understand." After recounting the whole story, Liu Jian ordered someone to add wine and dishes, and treated the fortune teller with great hospitality, saying, "Sir, you must help me this time. Otherwise, my life may be in danger." After saying this, he repeatedly toasted the fortune teller. The fortune teller said, "If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them. I am very grateful for your kindness. However, wherever we fortune tellers go, if someone asks for our fortune, we must test them to know their sincerity. Otherwise, even if there is a great reward, we are powerless to help." After saying this, he stared intently at Yu Niang, who was standing silently to the side. Before he finished speaking, Liu Jian already understood the unspoken meaning behind the fortune teller's words. This was clearly a threat, but with his life hanging by a thread, he had no choice but to reluctantly give in. Liu Jian said, "What do you want, sir? Speak freely." The fortune teller feigned seriousness and said, "If you can grant me this beautiful woman for one night, I will certainly take care of your business."
Liu Jian said, "That's easy!" The two laughed heartily. That night, Liu Jian went out to make things convenient for him. The fortune teller was overjoyed at his scheme and even more excited about having such a beautiful woman to amuse him. Seeing the fortune teller's lustful nature, Yu Niang teased, "Since you covet me, sir, how can you please me?"
The fortune teller remained silent, his face grim. He then pulled Yu Niang into his arms and rolled her onto the bed. Yu Niang, shy and timid, smiled faintly. The fortune teller's desire was aroused, and his manhood began to throb. He hastily removed his clothes, wanting to make love, but Yu Niang, her breasts half-exposed, refused to remove her clothes. When he tried to grab her, she dodged behind the bed curtains. He chuckled and tried again, tearing off half of her skirt. Yu Niang feigned anger, but instead raised her half-covered, full arm, glancing sideways at him with her phoenix eyes, and hooking her jade-like foot with hers. The fortune teller's lust burned fiercely, and he quickly removed Yu Niang's embroidered clothes, revealing her radiant body, her two firm breasts standing upright, her vulva white and tender, full and soft, her peach petals parted in a passionate gesture. The fortune teller probed with a finger, finding it tight, deep, and tender, glistening at the heart of her flower. This single touch ignited a burning desire within him. He straightened Yu Niang's body, parted her legs, revealing her wide-open vulva, dripping with spring water. The fortune teller thrust forward, just as Yu Niang arched her hips to meet him. With a crisp sound, his glans reached the heart of her flower. Yu Niang moaned softly, her arms tightly embracing him, her legs gripping his buttocks to aid his penetration. The fortune teller then thrust wildly, at least seven hundred degrees. He pressed his advantage, thrusting and withdrawing repeatedly. Yu Niang frantically tried to stop him, crying out in pain. But the fortune teller, his arrow already on the bowstring, had no reason not to release it. He merely teased Yu Niang while suspended in mid-air, using roundabout methods. Soon, Yu Niang's vulva began to flow with lustful fluids. Seeing an opportunity, the half-immortal followed the flow, stirring Yu Niang's vulva violently, as if hundreds of insects were biting and clawing inside. Yu Niang was already unconscious when the half-immortal stopped, preparing to regroup. After a short rest, the half-immortal lifted Yu Niang up, placing his hands behind her buttocks, while he himself moved his arms to meet hers. Thus, Yu Niang was suspended in mid-air, pressed against the half-immortal, her body limp, as if floating on clouds, her vulva burning with desire. The half-immortal roared again, exerting immense force in his waist. Yu Niang felt as if her vulva was being torn apart, a tearing pain shooting through her. The half-immortal abruptly threw Yu Niang aside, and with the force of a mountain crashing down, lifted her legs and thrust himself inside her, his momentum like thunder and lightning. Yu Niang was already limp as mud, her lustful fluids gushing out instantly. The Half-Immortal gently patted her vulva, causing the fluids to flow uncontrollably. Yu Niang was powerless to recover, but the Half-Immortal continued to tease her, until her yin essence was completely drained. The two finished their lovemaking, exchanging sweet words, which did not seem like mere illicit pleasure. It was just as the saying goes: Who would not be delighted by beauty, waiting for the next day to be consumed by passion; especially since he was a man of exceptional taste, how could he bear to sit alone in an empty pavilion? The next day, Liu Jian and his companion entered the hall. Liu Jian went inside and reported to Zhang Da: "The fortune teller has been brought." Zhang Da asked: "I wonder if he is accurate?" Liu Jian replied: "Because his fortune telling skills are extremely accurate, everyone calls him Zhang the Half-Immortal." Zhang Da said: "Then summon him in." Liu Jian went out and led Zhang the Half-Immortal to the courtyard, hung the signboard on the wall, went up to the hall, bowed, and was about to kneel down. Zhang Da called out, "Give me your fortune telling, and tell me the truth, then I will not be surprised." The fortune teller pointed and said, "Your eyebrows are disheveled, indicating a difficult early life. You suffered from lack of food and clothing in your childhood, and were often hungry and cold. Is this true?" Zhang Da exclaimed in surprise, "Please tell me, sir." The fortune teller said, "Until you were six years old, you had plenty of food and clothing, and you were able to call for servants." Zhang Da said, "Sir, your insight is divine, not just that of a fortune teller, but a true immortal." The fortune teller said, "I dare not! This is merely a divination based on appearance, not any special ability. Looking closely at your face, from the age of six onwards, you enjoyed a smooth life. However, at the age of twenty-eight, you encountered a period of bad luck, losing both parents early and losing your family fortune. At twenty-nine, both your parents passed away, and your life became increasingly difficult. At thirty-seven, you were displaced and nearly died, but your suffering eventually turned to good fortune. At twenty-seven, you encountered a period of great prosperity, and your fortunes improved dramatically, bringing you immense wealth and honor." Zhang Da said, "Sir, you are truly insightful!" He then ordered someone to bring one hundred taels of silver as a reward to the fortune teller. Seeing this, Zhang Banxian was utterly astonished. Liu Jian, seeing this, said, "Mr. Zhang, my father-in-law has given you one hundred taels of silver as a token of my gratitude; please don't think it's too little." Seeing Liu Jian's wink, Zhang Banxian reached out and took it. It turned out that Liu Jian had been secretly plotting to harm Zhang Da if he proved stingy, since Zhang Da was penniless and any men or women engaging in frivolous activities in his presence would surely torment him. What a cunning Zhang Banxian! With a quick glance, he said to Zhang Da, "Although you are currently enjoying a prosperous official career and living in peace, when the plum blossoms bloom, a calamity will descend upon you, and you will face inescapable misfortune." Zhang Da exclaimed in surprise, "How can I avert this calamity?" The fortune teller said, "I do have a good method, but I don't know if you would agree." Zhang Da said, "If this calamity can be dispelled, I will certainly obey your command." The fortune teller said, "You are currently unable to engage in sexual activity. If you witness men and women making love, forcing your yang energy into your body, you will surely resist the calamity's arrival. As a result, you will surely have great fortune in the future." Zhang Da thought, "Is there really such a way to avert disaster?" But then he thought that this fortune teller's predictions were very accurate, and this method must be effective. So he asked who would be the best person to use? The fortune teller said, "For such a matter, a man and a woman should be chosen from the palace, preferably someone the eunuch knows well." Zhang Da thought for a moment and then said to Liu Jian, "Have someone invite Jin Lian'er, the wife of Cheng Liang from the Cheng family, and do it quickly." Zhang the fortune teller and Liu Jian both took their leave. Meanwhile, Cheng Liang, seeing Zhang Da send someone to summon Jin Lian'er, knew it wouldn't be a good thing, but given Zhang Da's powerful influence in the court, he dared not disobey. He then ordered Jin Lian'er to go to the Zhang family residence immediately. Jin Lian'er had grown up in the capital since childhood, having been separated from her parents at a young age, and was thus cleverly married by Cheng Liang. Cheng Liang had a strange temper, so Jin Lian'er's life in the Cheng family was difficult; pitifully, she was the only one who could survive, barely clinging to life! Before long, Jinlian arrived at the Zhang residence. It was a dark night with a pale moon. After preparing food and wine, Zhang Da lit up the lanterns to perform the ritual of warding off misfortune. Under the lamplight, Jinlian was exceptionally beautiful. Her hair was styled like light clouds, and her eyebrows were like crescent moons. She was charming and graceful. Zhang Da was captivated and stunned. He then moved to Liu Jian's side and gave him some instructions. Instantly, Liu Jian's face turned as red as blood. He never expected that his master would order him to have fun with Jinlian! Forced by his master's authority, and besides, Jinlian's delicate body, how could he not be tempted? He walked closer to Jinlian. Jinlian, standing there, had already seen the two whispering and understood. She was terrified, but then she thought of her years with Cheng Liang, yet she had never tasted the pleasure of ecstasy! People say that the most pleasurable thing in the world is the act of lovemaking. Now that she was here, why not give it a try! Liu Jian, captivated by her beauty, pulled her close and rolled her onto the bed. Jin Lian'er, shy and timid, smiled softly, which only fueled Liu Jian's lust. His manhood, already yearning for release, was already hard to suppress. He tried to pull down his trousers, but Jin Lian'er reached out and unbuckled his belt, removing his trousers. His manhood sprang out, eliciting a playful scolding from Jin Lian'er. She pinched it with her slender fingers and rubbed it incessantly. Ignoring his father-in-law's presence, Liu Jian hastily removed Jin Lian'er's embroidered clothes, revealing her jade-like body, radiating a soft glow, her breasts trembling, her vulva white with a hint of pink. Full and smooth, with only a few hairs on her penis, less than two inches long. Liu Jian, already aroused, pressed himself against Jin Lian'er's belly, thrusting wildly downwards. Jin Lian'er arched her jade-like buttocks to meet his thrusts, yielding and rubbing against him. After a while, Jin Lian'er bent down, her cherry lips slightly parted, taking his glans into her mouth, her slender fingers stroking its base. Liu Jian felt a surge of pleasure, his breath coming in short gasps, his soul soaring. Zhang Da, who had been sitting upright, felt his heart pounding as he watched the two of them entwined, his body swaying involuntarily. After a while, Jin Lian'er's eyes were already hazy with desire. Seeing her aroused, Liu Jian stealthily moved behind her, aimed at her vulva, and thrust his penis in. Just as Jin Lian'er arched her back, with a soft "thud," it was fully inside her. Jin Lian'er cried out, welcoming him with great pleasure. Liu Jian also thrust forcefully, reaching her very core, his whole body radiating pleasure, pumping over three hundred times in an instant. Jin Lian'er spread her legs and hooked them onto the bed railing. Seeing this, Liu Jian thrust in, half his body sinking into her, holding her down, pulling her shoulders, and thrusting relentlessly. Jin Lian'er cried out incessantly. Before Zhang Da's castration, he had seen and done everything, but now, though cleansed, his mind was far from at peace. He was aroused by waves of lust, seemingly forgetting his eunuch status! Jin Lian'er's cries were loud and clear, and she was reaching a climax. Liu Jian, feeling slightly tired, began to thrust slowly, gradually employing the nine shallow and one deep technique, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes deep, sometimes shallow. Jin Lian'er was aroused to the point of burning desire. She let go, grabbed her plump buttocks, and vigorously thrashed them, crying out incessantly. Liu Jian then thrust deeply into her already aroused and delicate flower core, biting and nibbling away for a while. Jin Lian'er, her head tilted back, glanced sideways at Zhang Da, who was already restless and agitated, his appearance making one unable to suppress a smile. She thought, "Why not tease him a little?" Jin Lian'er's starry eyes sparkled, and she seductively said in a wanton voice, "I didn't expect you, you thieving prisoner, to have such tricks up your sleeve, making me weak all over." Liu Jian knew he was teasing his father-in-law, so he licked Jin Lian'er's fragrant lips with his tongue, saying, "My dear sister, this trick is quite effective. Let me try another one on you." After saying this, Liu Jian began thrusting rapidly again. Jin Lian'er was so overwhelmed that she didn't know what trick Liu Jian was up to. Seeing that Jinlian was completely still, Jian hurriedly pulled out his penis, cupped her face, and breathed on her. After a while, Jinlian let out a cry and regained her breath, pretending to curse, "You damned thief, I'm not playing with you anymore! An old man pushing a cart almost killed me! Help me up!" Liu Jian took the opportunity to pull the warm, fragrant woman into his arms, and his penis became erect again. Jinlian held it tightly, unwilling to let go. Liu Jian said, "Sister, do you still want more?" After saying that, he lay down on the ground, spreading his legs to expose his vulva. After their passionate encounter, his vulva was already glistening with lustful fluids. Liu Jian had been fighting for a long time and was already close to ejaculating. Seeing Jinlian's skillful actions, he indulged in wild and unrestrained thrusting. Jinlian couldn't help but sweat profusely and moan softly. The lustful fluids flowed in and out with the insertion and withdrawal of that object, making a squelching sound. Liu Jian's lustful desire surged wildly; the shaft clanged as it thrust wildly into the vulva, soaking his entire body until...The two, having just finished their passionate encounter, took out their handkerchiefs, wiped themselves clean, and then, entwined in a tender embrace, completely oblivious to the eunuch. It was truly a scene of utter ecstasy: "Bees and butterflies flutter, two lovers in a frenzy; even the most tender moments cannot compare." If only Yu could conquer Guo, wouldn't the outcome be even more extraordinary? Seeing this, Zhang Da felt as if his entire body was on fire, limp as mud, drooling incessantly, his head glazed over, and he nearly collapsed to the ground. Liu Jian, after resting briefly, found his master's state amusing and went to support Zhang Da, immediately noticing he was drenched in cold sweat and trembling uncontrollably. After enduring much torment, Zhang Da was truly distressed. A nameless rage surged within him, and he pointed at Jin Lian'er, cursing, "You slut! Get out of here!" Jin Lian'er then straightened her clothes, gave them both a flirtatious wink, and gracefully left the Zhang residence. Zhang Da then slapped Liu Jian across the face, angrily shouting, "How dare you indulge in pleasure right in front of us!" Liu Jian remained silent, his face blank. Zhang Da was even more furious, but Liu Jian was meek and submissive. Zhang Da left dejectedly and went to his bedroom, where he sullenly went to sleep. It is said: A man of loose morals fears an empty room; the sound of leaking doors indicates many feasts. A general storms in, following him into the pass; who will go through the perilous mountain pass? Will Zhang Da's jinx be averted? Let's see in the next chapter. Chapter Four: Cheng Liang Privately Reports Past Feuds; Zhang Da's Scheme Ultimately Leads to His Death.
The poem reads: "The crescent moon shines brightly over the Milky Way, the dew falls clear and thick; separated by the Milky Way, why bother with empty sorrow?" Now, let's talk about Jinlian'er returning to the Cheng residence. Cheng Liang, upon seeing her, was greatly displeased and questioned her about her visit to the Zhang residence. Jinlian'er, under duress, revealed the truth. Cheng Liang, consumed by jealousy, then beat Jinlian'er, her poor body suffering further torment. Cheng Liang was eager for revenge, but since Zhang Da had made the decision, he couldn't vent his anger on him. Instead, he directed his resentment at Liu Jian, thinking: "Liu Jian, a mere eunuch servant, dares to be disrespectful to my wife! Isn't that going too far? Why not repay him in kind and get revenge on his wife, Yin'e!" Having made up his mind, he left Jinlian'er and went out alone to clear his head. The book subtly reveals that Liu Jian's family lived near the west gate of the capital, a sparsely populated area. Even if Cheng Liang went there, no one would recognize him, and besides, Liu Jian was always with Zhang Da and rarely returned home. That night, all was quiet, the sky was filled with stars, and a crescent moon hung in the sky. Cheng Liang tiptoed to the gate of the Liu residence. He didn't knock, but walked past. The courtyard was silent, except for one room that was brightly lit. Cheng Liang crept over and peered through the window. He saw a silver candle burning brightly inside, and a bathtub filled with steaming water on the floor. Yin'e was about to undress and bathe. Cheng Liang was secretly pleased, thinking, "Yin'e must be about to bathe. Let me take a good look first." At this moment, Yin'e first took off her silk robe, revealing her smooth, alabaster-like body. Her arms were white and loose, like lotus roots. Her glossy breasts bounced lively, and her nipples were a lovely red. Yin'e then removed her skirt and trousers, revealing her smooth, white abdomen. Below her navel, a few sparse hairs and a bright red slit, the steam from the soup in the basin swirling around her like pear blossoms veiling Xi Shi, a flawless jade, her beauty alluring and captivating. Cheng Liang, upon seeing her, was utterly mesmerized! He thought to himself, "They say Liu Jian's wife is like a celestial fairy, and she truly is extraordinary! This Yin'e, because her husband is rarely home, must lack marital bliss! Tonight, let me satisfy her thirst." Lost in thought, he stared intently. After a while, Yin'e finished bathing and climbed onto the bed, leaning against the phoenix pillow, her jade body lying prone. She couldn't help but think, "Such loneliness makes each day feel like a year; how can I endure it? I wish I could elope with a wild man to quell my lust!" She sighed repeatedly, but then remembered she was a married woman; how could she engage in such indecent acts? She could only suppress her desires and wait patiently for her lover. Lost in thought, she was startled when the door creaked open. Looking closer, she recognized the figure as Cheng Liang, the Minister of War. "What brings you in at night?" she cried. Cheng Liang stepped to the bedside and whispered, "Yin'e'er, your beauty is unforgettable. Today, you've given me a perfect opportunity. If you grant me this, I'll die happy!" With that, he lunged at her. Yin'e, disregarding her nakedness, quickly reached out to support Cheng Liang. Seeing her submissive, Cheng Liang said, "If you grant my wish, I'll make sure your soul soars to the heavens!" Yin'e was secretly delighted, never expecting such a wonderful night! Such a heaven-sent opportunity couldn't be refused. She feigned shyness, covering her face with her hands, but her hips swayed incessantly. Cheng Liang, unable to suppress his lust, felt his manhood rising. He stepped forward and embraced Yin'e's slender waist. Yin'e let out a soft cry, quickly looking down. Her cheeks flushed crimson. She struggled a few times, then fell silent, letting Cheng Liang hold her like an iron barrel, allowing him to take liberties with her. Cheng Liang's large hands roamed freely over Yin'e's body. One hand explored her large breasts, kneading them until they hardened slightly, while the other hand secretly slipped down to her genitals. Touching her plump vulva, he exclaimed repeatedly, "Interesting! Interesting! It smells so good." He touched it there, reluctant to let go. He said, "This fine thing has been through countless times. Tonight, under this bright moon, I'll smash its heart!" Yin'e retorted sarcastically, "If you can smash it, you're a hero. If you can smash its heart, you can eat it! Don't touch it so carelessly! Hurry up!" Cheng Liang immediately leaned down, hastily pulled down his trousers, and his manhood sprang out. Enraged, he parted Yin'e's thighs, about to thrust in, but Yin'e, aroused, tried to stop him. This repeated resistance only fueled Cheng Liang's lust. He didn't care about skill and forcefully shot his manhood straight into her plump, greasy vulva. Yin'e half-heartedly resisted, covering her face with her hands, swaying her body left and right. His manhood was forced out after entering, unable to find another way in, making Cheng Liang plead desperately. Yin'e's body swayed incessantly, like a willow branch swaying in the wind, alluring and seductive. Yin'e thought to herself, "So this is what men are like now! I'll make him suffer a little more." Seeing his assault fail, Cheng Liang flew into a rage. Dry wood meeting fire, how could it not ignite? He grabbed Yin'e's hands, forcing her to spread her arms wide, and pounced on her tender belly, covering her completely, rendering her immobile. Cheng Liang then reached out and grasped his penis, urgently seeking her vulva. His penis thrust wildly at the entrance, and soon her vulva was overflowing with vaginal fluid. The glans, against the current, plunged in with a thud, disappearing completely. Yin'e cried out, as if...
