CHAPTER 2

Sagacious Lu Throws Peach Blossom Village into Confusion

Shi Jin arrived in Weizhou. Hearing that this is also a border garrison he went in a small tea-house and asked the waiter, “Do you know whether they have an arms instructor from the Eastern Capital, a man called Wang Jin?” While the waiter was talking, a big fellow who looked like an army officer strode in. A full beard framed his round face.The waiter said to Shi Jin: “That’s the major. You can ask him about Wang Jin. He knows all the arms instructors.”

The big fellow said, “The arms instructor Wang Jin you said is with Old General Zhong in the Yanan garrison. And who are you, brother?” “My name is Shi Jin, the fellow they call Nine Dragons? May I be so bold as to ask your name, sir?” Shi Jin queried. “I’m called Lu Da. I’m a major in this garrison.” He took Shi Jin by the hand and said, “Come out and have a few drinks with me.”

The two encountered Li Zhong, nicknamed the Tiger-Fighting General. The three came to a famous tavern. Just as their conversation was at its liveliest, they heard the sound of sobbing in the next room. Lu Da immediately became enraged, shouting, “who are weeping in the next room while we dine.” “The people weeping are a man and his daughter who sing in the taverns,” The waiter replied.

Lu Da said, “Bring them here to me.”

The waiter returned with a girl of about eighteen, followed by a man in his late fifties. Lu Da asked the two why they wept. The girl replied, “My name is Jin Cuilian. Master Zheng, who is called the Lord of the West, saw me and wanted me for a concubine. He sent people to wheedle and threaten, and finally signed a contract promising my father three thousand strings of cash for me. In less than three months his wife, a hard woman, drove me out of the house. What’s more, Master Zheng ordered the innkeeper to demand that we ‘return’ his three thousand strings of cash. We didn’t know what to do. We earn money just by making rounds of the taverns, singing and repay him.”

“Bah,” said Lu Da contemptuously. “So Master Zheng is only Zheng the pig-sticker, the dirty rogue who runs a butcher shop.” Lu Da took out some money and gave it to the father and daughter, saying “Tomorrow you can depart from herel. I’ll return the butcher’s money in person.” Old Jin and his daughter thanked him and departed.

On the morning of the following day, Lu Da came to the door of Zheng’s butcher shop. Looking at Zheng, he shouted, “Butcher Zheng, The garrison commander has ordered me to buy ten catties of lean meat, chopped fine, to be used for filling. There mustn’t be a speck of fat in it. You do it yourself.” After Zheng finished chopping lean meat, Lu Da asked him to cut up ten catties of fat meat.

Zheng wrapped the minced meat in a lotus leaf and placed it in front of Lu Da. Lu Da said, “Now I want ten catties of gristle, chopped fine, also to be used for filling, and I don’t want to see any meat in it.” Zheng laughed awkwardly. “Are you making fun of me?” Lu Da flung the packages of chopped meat full in Zheng’s face. The shower of meat stung the butcher into a rage. He grabbed a paring knife from the butcher’s block and jumped down from the shop steps.

Lu Da sent the butcher sprawling with a swift kick in the groin. Another step forward and he put his foot on Zheng’s chest. He landed three punches on Zheng’s head that brought the blood flowing to the ground. The butcher lay stretched on the ground at his last gasp. Lu Da thought to himself, “Killing him would hold me for trial. I’d better get out of here.” He rose and strode away, shouting, “Go on playing dead. I’ll settle with you later.”
