He heard that the scenery of Dongting Lake is rare in the world, and there are many people who go to the lake to visit the lake. There are countless boats on the lake, and many dignitaries come here to have fun! Zhang Gong was very longing for it. Soon after, he was going to visit friends somewhere, passing Dongting Lake. Zhang Gong was very happy, but when he arrived, he saw that there were not many tourists. Others told him that yesterday, the lake god was so powerful that he overturned a cruise ship, and ten or twenty people died, so there were not many people visiting the lake in the past two days. When Zhang Gong heard about it, he couldn't help but feel a little lost. After he hurried to the lake, he saw a restaurant not far from the road, and there were not many guests coming and going. After entering, he asked the shopkeeper, "Is there any room here?"

The shopkeeper looked a little surprised and said to him, the front yard is full, so you should go elsewhere! Zhang Gongdao, don't you still have a room in the backyard? It's getting late, and it may take some distance to go elsewhere. "Please make it convenient for you, " replied the shopkeeper, the backyard is full of rooms piled up with debris, which is not convenient for people to stay in. Zhang Gong took out some silver taels and said to the shopkeeper, "Just clean the room indiscriminately! It's not good for the shopkeeper to refuse again, and after explaining to the little two, he said to Zhang Gong, the backyard is full of firewood and debris, and please don't walk around at night. Zhang Gong agreed, and soon saw the little two coming, leading him to the backyard. After arriving in the room, the little two told him repeatedly that he could not go out for a walk at night, and Zhang Gong couldn't help but feel strange.

After a long day of hard work, Duke Zhang fell asleep, and after sleeping for a long time, he suddenly woke up, but he didn't know what time it was. Tossing and turning, it was difficult to fall asleep again. At this time, I don't know where the sound of drinking and having fun came from. It seemed that someone was gambling again, and I heard prostitutes playing and singing, and it was very lively. Zhang Gong walked to the window, and after opening the window, he saw that the room opposite was brightly lit, and there were many people walking around. Zhang Gong said to himself that it was originally a place for gambling, so it was no wonder the owner told me not to move around. I was afraid that my guest from a foreign country would lose and be unable to make the trip. At that moment, I only heard a voice outside the door asking, and the guest who lived in the store came to gamble. Zhang Zhengyi had this intention, and when he heard the words, he took ten taels of silver. After opening

Zhang Gong asked, who are the people on the opposite side? They are all guests invited by my master. Seeing that the lights had not stopped, they sent me to inquire, and my master will be the banker! Zhang Gong was quite fond of gambling, so he didn't think much about it, so he went with the man. After entering the house, there were ten or twenty people, greeting each other to place bets, and two women were singing in front of the screen to add to the fun, looking very lively. When the owner of the banker saw Zhang Gong coming, he was very happy to say to him, " I see that you have not fallen asleep, and I am afraid that you are alone and bored, so I sent a servant to invite you, and I hope you will forgive your abrupt sin. Zhang Gong Dao, thank you for your kindness! This is exactly what I wanted, and it was not disturbed. The host was very happy after listening, and gave way to Zhang Gong. At first, Zhang Gong won a few bets and was in a good mood, but he never won again.

Seeing that he was about to lose ten taels of silver, Duke Zhang felt more and more that the people around him were a little strange. The geisha sang all night without stopping, and the people who came and went seemed to be acting. Duke Zhang then thought there was a trap in this gamble, and after losing ten taels, he left in a hurry, but no one stopped him. When he got up the next day, he said to the shopkeeper that he regretted not having listened to your words. Last night, someone made a game, but fortunately he lost ten taels of silver. The shopkeeper asked , surprised, that there was no one else in the backyard except you, so no one had set up a gamble. After hearing this, Duke Zhang was very panicked and told the shopkeeper everything he saw. The shopkeeper was shocked when he heard this, and said to him, "What you saw was Yuan Li. He started the game on the boat, and there were more than a dozen people, and there were also singers.

When Zhang Gong heard this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He quickly moved out, and by noon he saw a lot of corpse-bearers. As Zhang Gong approached, he saw a few familiar faces in the corpse, which he had seen last night. Not long ago, he saw someone lift up the member who was a banker, and Zhang Gong said to the corpse-bearer, this person still has money on him! The corpse-bearer smiled and said, "When he was salvaging yesterday, he also put away his belongings, so there is no such good thing! Zhang Gong asked the corpse-bearer to check again, and saw that there were ten taels of silver in his sleeve. Zhang Gong did not dare to ask for it, and after going back, he fell seriously ill, and nothing else abnormal happened.
