  • The Water Margin Podcast. This Is Episode 41. Last Time, Wu Song
    Welcome to the Water Margin Podcast. This is episode 41. Last time, Wu Song avenged his brother’s murder and was sent to the penal colony at Mengzhou (4,1) Prefecture. Along the way, he and his two guards came across a black tavern, the type of place that drugged travelers, killed them, and chopped them up to serve to other travelers as meat. But Wu Song caught wise to the place pretty quickly and foiled their attempt to drug him. In the process, he became acquainted with the husband and wife team that owned the place, Zhang Qing the Gardener and his wife Sun Erniang, the Female Yaksha. All three being gallant heroes, they became fast friends. As Zhang Qing invited Wu Song to sit down and chat, Wu Song asked him to first revive the two guards who were escorting Wu Song to the penal colony. So Zhang Qing took Wu Song into the kitchen in the back of the tavern. On the walls hung several human skins, and six or seven human legs dangled from the rafters. Lovely place, really, and not being subtle about what they are doing at all. Wu Song saw the two unconscious guards stripped naked and laid out on the butcher’s table, awaiting slaughter. “Brother, please bring them around,” Wu Song said. But Zhang Qing asked, “Constable, what crime have you committed? Where are you being exiled to?” So Wu Song recounted his story, which prompted Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang to shower him with praise. Zhang Qing then said, “I have something to say, but I don’t know how you’d like it.” “What is it? Just tell me.” “I harbor no ill intentions, but rather than going to to the penal colony to suffer, why don’t you just let us kill these two guards and you can stay here for a while.

    Welcome to the Water Margin Podcast. This is episode 65. Last time, the Liangshan bandits had sent Dai (4) Zong (1) the Magic Traveler to go look for Gongsun Sheng, the Daoist priest who had taken a leave of absence to go home to check on his mother and his Daoist master but was now overdue. On the way, Dai Zong ran into a hero named Yang (2) Lin (2) the Multicolor Leopard, who had run into Gongsun Sheng a while back and now volunteered to serve as Dai Zong’s guide. Then, they ran into two bandit chieftains in the local mountains. These were actually acquainted with Yang Lin. One was named Deng (4) Fei (1), the Fiery-Eyed Lion. The other was named Meng (4) Kang (1) the Jade Flagpole. But Dai Zong was not done meeting new friends on this trip. As he chatted with the two bandit chieftains, they told him about a third chieftain, who was actually the reason they were bandits. This guy’s name was Pei (2) Xuan (1), and he was a magistrate’s scribe at the local prefectural courthouse. He excelled at writing petitions, was extremely honest and intelligent, and would not commit the slightest misdeed. People in the area all called him the Iron-faced Scribe. He also was adept at handling weapons and was both smart and brave. But then, the imperial court assigned a corrupt official to be the prefect. And a corrupt prefect can’t have a guy known for being a stickler for justice hanging around, so the prefect found some flimsy excuse and exiled Pei (2) Xuan (1) to Shaman (1,2) Island, the place where they sent disgraced officials.
