Chapter 132: Treasures
Seeing that Yuan Chang gave up the idea of beating Li Rui's board, the two officials retreated to their original positions. However, before returning to the throne, the eyes of the two officials and Li Rui quickly exchanged views in the air, and the purpose was self-evident. Thinking about it, Li Rui had to spend some money to satisfy the two officials afterwards.
Yuan Chang replied to his lazy appearance again, and asked in his listless voice: "Okay, you continue what you just said, what did this Lin Xiaogui do, so you sued the county court." ”
"Lord Qiyu, the grass people want to be high, and this little turtle deliberately damaged the treasures of the grass people. Previously, on the way home of the grass people, the forest turtle deliberately bumped into the grass people, so that the treasure in the hands of the grass people was damaged. The grass people know that the county magistrate is wise and wise, and he is an unborn blue sky master, and he will definitely be able to give the grass people justice. ”
Li Rui has already seen from Yuan Chang's performance just now that this new county magistrate is a child who has just come out of the family, and he has not been exposed to many things, as long as he praises him a little, and then says that the other party is the embodiment of justice, he will definitely be happy.
Sure enough, after listening to Li Rui's words, Yuan Chang's face showed a happy look of "You still understand me".
"My lord, the grass people are wronged, my lord! The grass people didn't see it clearly because it was getting late and wanted to rush home early, so they accidentally bumped into it, and it wasn't the grass people who did it on purpose. ”
This Lin Xiaogui is honest, and he didn't otherwise bump into Li Rui, but he justified that he didn't bumper into it unintentionally, not intentionally as Li Rui said.
"Quiet, how can you be allowed to make a loud noise in the public court, if this is the case again, don't blame the county order for being polite. ”
Yuan Chang scolded Lin Xiaogui loudly, and then with a smile on his face, he said to Li Rui with a little excitement: "That, Li Rui, you said that you have a treasure, and take it out to see what it is." ”
Seeing Yuan Chang's expression, Li Rui's heart jumped, and he secretly said that it was not good.
When he quarreled with Lin Xiaogui on the street before, and the two sides could not reach a settlement, Li Rui thought about suing the county government. As far as Li Rui thought in his heart, the county government basically accepted his benefits, and they would stand on his side no matter what they said. However, because of the damage to the treasure, he was so agitated that he forgot that the county order was newly appointed. Besides, even if you don't talk about this county order, how can the other people in the county government not think about it when they see him carrying treasures?
At this moment, Yuan Chang's expression illustrates a good point, these officials are all tigers who eat people and don't spit out bones.
However, at this time, he was already in the county office, and the matter had already come out, and it would be impossible not to take out the treasures. When the time came, when he got the compensation, Li Rui decided to leave Dongping County quickly and change places. Anyway, he has a lot of assets, and he can also live a nourishing life in another place.
"My lord, please see, this is the treasure that the villain has worked so hard to collect. ”
Li Rui carefully took out the things that had been wrapped in silk silk at his feet, but they were four three-legged drinking utensils "Jue". One of them has been deformed, and it is thought to be the one that Li Rui said was damaged.
However, seeing these things, Yuan Chang, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly lost his smile.
"Li Rui, this is the treasure you are talking about?"
Yuan Chang couldn't help but show a look of disdain on his face, as if he didn't care about the treasure Li Rui said at all. Everyone naturally understands that Yuan Chang is a descendant of the Yuan family, and he has never seen any treasures, and the "Jue" in Li Rui's hand is not distinctive, so naturally it can't attract his attention.
Li Rui was ruthless and decided to tell the truth. Anyway, the onlookers all knew that he was carrying treasures, and sooner or later he would be targeted. In this case, it is better to make Lin Xiaogui lose a sum of money, and he will run away again.
"My lord, these are not ordinary 'knights', they have a good background. ”
Li Rui pretended to be mysterious and said, it seems that the 'Jue' in his hand is really a great treasure.
"Hmm!" Yuan Chang raised his eyebrows, still not very concerned, and asked casually: "What is the origin of this 'Jue'?" Li Rui, you must know that this is above the court, and you must not talk nonsense, otherwise you will not blame the county order for being polite. ”
"Yes, yes, how dare a villain deceive an adult. ”
Li Ruiwei replied resignedly, then swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if he had made great determination before he spoke: "My lord, this 'Jue' seems ordinary, but he is not ordinary. As far as the grass people know, these four 'Jue' are the things of Jiang Taigong, the founding prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty, and there is an auspicious atmosphere of Jiang Taigong hidden on it. ”
"Shhhhh
Listening to Li Rui's words, a sound of inhalation suddenly sounded inside and outside the county office.
Today's era is not the era before Yuan Chang traveled. The theory of gods and ghosts still occupies a huge market, otherwise Zhang Jiao would not be so easy to subdue hundreds of thousands of believers. In the hearts of many people, they still believe in these things.
Jiang Shangnai, the prince of Jiang, was the founding prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty, and it was rumored that God saw the tyranny of Shang, so Jiang Shang was asked to help King Wen of Zhou revolt, and there were some heavenly soldiers and generals to follow, such as Nezha, Yang Jian, and so on. It is precisely because of this that there are many statues of these immortals in the homes of the people, and on every birthday day, the people burn incense and worship in order to ask for the blessing of the gods.
And the "Jue" used by Jiang Shang in Li Rui's hand has Jiang Shang's auspicious atmosphere, isn't it even more popular. As long as you get this treasure, even if you are still poor, but your children and grandchildren can enjoy all the glory and wealth, how can you not be greedy?
At this moment, whether it is inside the county government or outside the county office, many people are looking at the treasure in Li Rui's hand with red eyes, wishing that this treasure is in their hands at this moment. However, at this time, it is still in the county office, even if some people have ill intentions, they dare not snatch it in front of everyone, otherwise, even if they get it, they may not be able to keep it.
Yuan Chang also looked at the "Jue" in Li Rui's hand with bright eyes at this time, and almost pounced on it to grab it, and then said that it was his own. Of course, this is just a superficial image of Yuan Chang. Regarding what Li Rui said, Yuan Chang just scoffed.
"Ahem!"
Yuan Chang coughed lightly twice, interrupting the whispers inside and outside the county office, and then asked with a little hesitation: "Li Rui, your 'knight' is a rare treasure in time, and it is difficult to exchange it even for a thousand gold." However, Lin Xiaogui is a peasant, and he can't afford to pay for it, so why don't you let Lin Xiaogui go to your house as a slave until you feel that it is enough to make up for your losses before leaving?"
Lin Xiaogui listened to Li Rui's words before, and knew that even if he smashed the pot and sold iron, he would not be able to afford to lose his family, and at this time, listening to Yuan Chang's suggestion, he had nothing to say, it could be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
"My lord, there is a surplus of slaves in the grass people's house. Let him go to the grass people's house as a slave, and the grass people not only did not get compensation, but also had to bear one more person. Therefore, the grass people felt that it was better to let him compensate. He can transfer the fields at home to the grass people, which is naturally not enough compensation, and let him find a way to find the rest, and implore the county magistrate to give him a time limit to make up the compensation. ”
After a moment of silence, Li Rui rejected Yuan Chang's suggestion, and at the same time said a compensation plan.
"Hmph, this county order is an adult, or are you an adult. ”
Yuan Chang snorted dissatisfiedly, but he didn't deny Li Rui's proposal, so he turned to Lin Xiaogui and asked, "Lin Xiaogui, what do you think of Li Rui's proposal?"
"My lord, if there is no field, how can there be a way to live? The grass people are willing to compensate for the loss, and the grass people are desperate to repay a little every day, even if the grass people are not finished, they can let their children and grandchildren repay, and they only beg the adults not to take away the grass people's fields. ”
Lin Xiaogui cried bitterly and pleaded, he was middle-aged, and his face was full of wrinkled skin, but he looked so miserable and helpless at this moment.
"My lord, this is not good, if Lin Xiaogui runs away, what about the loss of the grass people?"
Lin Xiaogui's voice fell, and Li Rui immediately jumped out to object.
"Bastard, you two can't do this, that can't do either, Theta's opinion. If you say more, the county will order each person to hit fifty boards and blast you out. ”
Yuan Chang looked at the two with an angry face, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with the dispute between the two.
The people shook their heads, this county order is so decided, how can the people of Dongping County dare to report the case if they have grievances in the future?
"Li Rui, a vampire, really dares to say it, he actually wants Lin Xiaogui's family's field, this is not forcing people to death..."
"Yes, yes. I happened to be nearby at the time and saw the situation, and it was not Lin Xiaogui's fault alone. Then Li Rui was also in a hurry, and both of them were at fault..."
"Hey, hey, maybe this treasure was received by Li Rui from which Captain Touching Jin. He didn't report the case to the government, and he dared to collect funeral goods privately, and if you want me to say, the county magistrate should sentence him to death first..."
The onlookers whispered, but most of them stood on Lin Xiaogui's position, and people were often sympathetic to the weak.
Li Rui's slender face couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and he was a little scared at this time.
When he accepted this treasure, he just thought that he could leave it as an heirloom for future generations. At this time, I remembered that the origin of this thing was unknown, if that person was really a captain who touched gold, with the strictness of the imperial court to the captain of touching gold, maybe he would be implicated, but now it is too late to regret it, I only hope that Yuan Chang, the new county commander, can conclude the case hastily, even if the compensation is not to.
Commonly known as tomb robbers, the ancients believed that people would go to another world after death and continue to enjoy their lives, so they attached great importance to the specifications of their tombs and the grade of their burial goods. Dignitaries and nobles with status are generally very rich in funeral goods after death. And if the tomb robbers dig up their burial goods, won't they not be able to enjoy the glory and wealth of the other world? Therefore, the punishment for the tomb robbers is also extremely severe, ranging from beheading to dismembering the corpses of five horses. Those who collude with tomb robbers will inevitably end up raiding their homes.
Even if those poor people are poor, their funeral goods are also average, and the high-ranking officials, especially the royal family, the funeral goods are amazing, and the laws have always been mostly for the upper class, and it is said that they are so strict with tomb robbers.
Li Rui saw the light in Yuan Chang's eyes, and his heart became more and more afraid.
If Yuan Chang were to be charged with colluding with tomb robbers, not only would the treasures in his hands be unsafeguarded, but his family property would be confiscated. Moreover, looking at Yuan Chang's sparkling eyes, he seemed to be extremely interested in the treasure in his hand.
"My lord, my subordinates have a plan that can satisfy both of them. ”
