Chapter 30: Do Not Do or Die
The juvenile precept is in color, the middle-aged abstinence is in greed, and the old abstinence is in obtain. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As a businessman, Ding San's fat man has become more and more greedy in middle age, and the big money is not too much, and the small money is not too little. People have peeled their skins, geese have plucked their feathers, and mosquitoes have to leave a leg when they fly over. But if you are too greedy, your reputation will be ruined. It is difficult to get into positive wealth, and partial wealth is even more disaster-inducing. The Ding family has been in the business of gold shops for generations, and once the signboard is broken, the business will see it decay day after day.
Seeing this, Ding Sanpang was even more uncomfortable than digging out his heart and liver. I always thought that it was because of my poor fortune, so I couldn't make a fortune. In a hurry, I thought a lot of crooked ways, but I was destined to have no money, even if I wanted to break my head, I was still empty-handed. Until I rarely went to the Wulu God of Wealth Temple for dozens of miles to worship God, I have been dreaming of a day to break out in one day, and the big man Ding San Fat Ding made a wish to Yao Shaosi, the god of windfall, but when it came time to give up the incense money, the fat master Ding San only took out a few bad coins and threw them into the merit box, which caused the temple to secretly roll his eyes.
I don't know if it's really the magic power of the immortal official Yao Shaosi of Lishi, or the big man Ding San and the fat Ding, who is destined to have a big fortune this time. As soon as Ding San and Fat Master Ding came home, Jia Ding ran and said, "I caught Tan Shishi, who owes money and doesn't pay it back." ”
Ding San, the fat old man, was overjoyed when he heard this. It turned out that Ding San, the fat master Ding, not only did business and cheated and shoddy, but also secretly put money in the gambling stalls. This Tan Shi is an old gambler. Tan Shishi didn't have this name originally. , It's just too good to gamble, and I can't lose a fine light all the time, so everyone forgot Tan's real name later, but Tan Shishi's nickname wanted to light up.
Tan Shi Shi borrowed 521 yuan from Ding San Fat Master Ding, three points of interest, and the profit rolled. Half a month later, 2 taels of silver should be returned. But when Master Ding sent someone to collect debts, Tan Shishi's guy ran away.
Is this worth it? There has always been only Ding San and Fat Ding who cheated other people's money, but now there are guys who cheat their own money. Ding San, the fat old man, was angry and dug his heart out with others. Never stopped asking everywhere about the traces of Tan Shishi. In the end, the hard work pays off. Although Tan Shishi hid deeply, he was dug up after all.
Ding San and Fat Master Ding walked around the flower hall a few times, thinking about how to concoct this Tan Shishi who dared to owe himself money and not pay it back, and he must let this guy pay back the money he owes him with interest. Just as he was thinking about it, Tan Shishi was brought up. Two wolf-like thugs stood on both sides, and Tan Shishi was tied up and knelt on the ground like a dumpling.
Ding San Fat Master Ding is suddenly not in a hurry at the moment, people are here, there is always a way to squeeze out this guy's money, even if he goes to the bitter kiln, he has to pay back the money first.
"O time! Speaking of which, Master Ben still believes in you! In this Mizhi county, who else will lend you money now! This old man is kind, but you took the money and hid, this old man is kind to you as a donkey's liver and lungs, you say, when will you be able to repay this old man's money? "Ding San Fat Master Ding was still soft-spoken at the beginning, but when he talked about money later, he became extremely vicious, as if he wanted to eat Tan Shisheng alive.
"I will pay back the villain, I will pay it back! As soon as Master Ding San and Fat Ding turned his face, the two thugs began to be eager to try, which scared Tan Shishi and promised to arrive without delay.
"You pay it back, what do you take back? You have no land, no house, not even a wife and children, what will you pay? Ding San Fat Master Ding asked viciously.
Tan Shishi stopped talking.
"Then since you can't pay it back, then I can only buy you to the yamen cheaper, although the price is lower, but at least I can get back to the original, right?" Ding San, the fat old man Ding said very viciously.
At this time, Tan Shishi was really frightened, and immediately kowtowed and replied: "The villain really has a way to pay it back, the poor road will soon be rich, and please ask Master Ding to give me more grace, I will definitely double the villain, if you don't pay it back, you will throw me into the river to feed the fish." ”
"Oh!" Ding San, the fat old man, Ding Da's words flashed. Could this old gambler still find some way to make money? He immediately asked, "Is there any way you can get rich?" ”
"No, no..." Tan Shishi hurriedly denied it, but before he finished a few words, he was pressed to the ground by two thugs.
"To say or not to say? Anyway, Master Ben has some benefits with you, if you don't say it, you won't be rich! Ding San Fat Master Ding had a big belly, bent down and said to Tan Shi on the ground.
After several pressures, Tan Shishi, who was afraid of death and pain, finally spit out the secret - a large bronze pillar of thousands or even tens of thousands of catties.
Master Ding walked dozens of miles with Tan Shishi in disbelief, and found a large bronze pillar in a ravine not far from Li Jiqian's village.
China has been short of copper since ancient times, and copper was almost equal to money in that era. Such a large bronze pillar is simply a silver ingot! Ding San, the fat master Ding, immediately hired someone to get the bronze pillar back to his yard overnight.
Strange to say, from the moment the bronze pillar was lifted out of the ravine, almost everyone who touched the pillar fell seriously ill and almost lost their lives. There were even people who went crazy.
Ding San Fat Master Ding obviously didn't know what was going on, but he just felt that this pillar was obviously a bit evil. Keeping it at home is obviously not a long-term solution. It could only be transported outside the city immediately, and the search for someone to melt the pillar into a copper ingot first.
The pillar was mottled with patina, one new and the other old, and apparently the new end was buried in the earth. It's also carved with monster patterns that I don't know, who knows what it does. It's better to destroy it first, to eliminate the disaster, and then this windfall will be in the pocket as soon as possible.
It's a pity that this copper pillar is obviously not simple, the knife does not hurt, and the hammer does not dent. Such a large pillar has not been smelted, and an old coppersmith has an idea to burn the whole pillar first. It's easy to burn it soft.
Master Ding San Fat Ding thought about it, nodded and said, "There is only this way."
The fire was raging, and the burning coals emitted an astonishing heat. More than a dozen workers were busy fanning the flames while adding coal. It burned for half an hour before the bronze pillar reacted slightly.
The bronze pillar was not burned red, but "sweated", and a drop of water came out of the bronze pillar, and then was roasted by the fire and turned into bursts of white mist.
"Did you hear anything?" Ding San Fat Master Ding frowned and asked the long entourage next to him.
"Back to the master, it seems to be...", Chang Sui didn't say a word yet. Suddenly, a strange streamer shot straight from the sky, and then a loud roar came: "What a big boldness, don't stop the poor road!" (To be continued.) )
