Long Xiao asked Zhang Chengyi to inquire, and it turned out that Lord Yuan, the magistrate of the county, retried the case of Pan Jinlian's cheating, so he persuaded Wu Dalang to take a leave of absence from Pan Jinlian and gave Wu Dalang 1,000 taels of silver. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Pan Jinlian became a free body, so she simply lived in Ximenqing's house, Ximenqing married Pan Jinlian in the media, and let Pan Jinlian be his sixth wife, Long Xiao felt incredible, this Wu Dalang was also angry, and he actually gave his wife a divorce for 1000 taels of silver, but it was Ximenqing. However, Long Xiao is also strange, how could Lord Yuan, the magistrate of the county, retry this case, did Wu Dalang go to the county yamen to complain again?

Long Xiao couldn't help but be curious, so he came to the county office with questions and found Yuan Yichen, the magistrate of the county: "Lord Yuan, I heard that you tried Wu Dalang's case again, is there such a thing?" ”。 When Yuan Yichen heard this, he said with a smile: "Yes, this time it was not Wu Dalang who sued, it was Pan Jinlian who came to complain, saying that Wu Dalang abused her and asked me to call the shots. The Great Sui Dynasty did not allow the abuse of women, so Wu Dalang was interrogated, and when he asked, Wu Dalang did not admit it, Wu Dalang said that it was Ximen Qing who beat him, and I brought Ximen Qing over for trial, and Ximen Qing did not admit it, so what to do with Pan Jinlian, but Pan Jinlian strongly asked Wu Dalang to leave her, and I had to let Wu Dalang take Pan Jinlian away.

Long Xiao: "Lord Yuan, what's the matter with the 1,000 taels of silver given to Wu Dalang, it seems that there is no such precedent in the county, and the silver has to be given to the person who divorces his wife." Yuan Yichen said with a smile: "Where is this the county's silver, it is also from Ximen Qing, Ximen Qing is the silver from automatically, he said, I'm sorry Wu Dalang, I want to give spiritual compensation, I agreed." Long Xiao also smiled: "Lord Yuan, aren't you openly supporting the Stealing and Adultery Department by doing this?" This is not in line with the law of the Great Sui", Yuan Yichen disagreed: "This is not a big crime, as long as Wu Dalang does not sue, as the saying goes, the people do not sue the officials and do not prosecute, more things are better than less things, just like that, didn't you also fine Ximen Qing 1000 taels of silver to Wu Dalang, Wu Dalang now has 2000 taels of silver, he sells cooking cakes, but he can't earn so much in his life, and we are worthy of Wu Dalang."

Long Xiao was speechless, it seems that Lord Yuan must have accepted Ximenqing's bribe, but Long Xiao didn't know how much money Ximenqing had spent, and he actually bought Zhixian to speak for him. However, Long Xiao also knew that this Lord Yuan was now a new official and was eager to make money, and it seemed that it would not take much to make Yuan Yichen bow his head for silver. Long Xiao said goodbye to Yuan Yichen and found Wu Dalang to understand the situation.

After inquiring, Long Xiao found Wu Dalang's home, but Wu Dalang was not at home, Wu Dalang's younger brother was at home, Long Xiao talked to Wu Dalang's younger brother: "Your name is Wu Chao, right?" Wu Chao was stunned: "Who are you, how can you know me?" ", Long Xiao: "I don't know you either, I know your brother, I am the county leader in our county, my name is Long Xiao." As soon as Wu Chao heard that it was the county Cheng, he knelt down for Long Xiao with a plop: "Lord County Cheng, you have to call the shots for my brother, my brother has been deceived."

Long Xiao knew that there was a reason when he heard it, so he asked Wu Chao to get up and speak, Wu Chao: "Lord County, I have heard that Ximenqing gave Lord Zhixian 2,000 taels of silver, and Zhixian forced my brother to write a letter of resignation, my brother has no daughter-in-law, how is this good?" ”。 Long Xiao: "Wu Chao, your sister-in-law Pan Jinlian is a water-based poplar woman, your brother will take a break when he is divorced, what is there to be nostalgic for?" Why do you still cry out for injustice? ”。 Wu Chao: "My lord, you don't know, it's difficult for us people to get a daughter-in-law, my sister-in-law is a maid of a big family, because of the adultery with the master, was discovered by the wife of the main house, so she sold her to my brother at a price of 5 taels of silver, my brother has a daughter-in-law, we are poor, just want to pass on the ancestry, even if my sister-in-law has an affair with others, as long as we give birth to a man and a half girl in the Wu family, it will be satisfied, where is there a lot of care, now it's okay, a good sister-in-law is gone, My brother is having a hard time finding a daughter-in-law."

Long Xiao understood, no wonder Wu Dalang knew that his wife was stealing, and he refused to divorce his wife. Long Xiao wanted to help Wu Dalang, and he had an idea in his heart: "Wu Chao, you go and you get your brother back, I have something to find him", Wu Chao saw that the county Cheng was looking for his brother, so he hurriedly went out to find Wu Dalang, and after a while, Wu Dalang came back, and when he saw Long Xiao in his own home, he quickly kowtowed, and then said: "County Cheng, it's rare for you to come to our house, I'll go to the street to buy some food, I'll invite you to drink."

Long Xiao also had something to discuss with Wu Dalang, so he nodded in agreement. Wu Dalang asked Wu Chao to make tea for Long Xiao, and went out to buy vegetables by himself. After a while, I slipped back with a large bag of things. Long Xiao saw that there were four packs of dishes, one was sauce beef, one was boy chicken, one was stewed donkey meat, one was roast dog meat, and there was a large jar of soju. Long Xiao was not polite to Wu Dalang, so he sat down, and Wu Dalang quickly took out four porcelain plates, packed up the four meat dishes, and brought them up.

Wu Dalang scalded the soju and made the soju hot, and after a while, the wine was hot, so he poured it for Long Xiao and asked; "Lord Xiancheng, what are you looking for me?" , Long Xiao: "Let me ask you first, what happened to the magistrate's retrial of your case?" ”。 Wu Dalang: "What kind of retrial case, it is clear that he received 2,000 taels of silver from Ximenqing, and forced me to divorce my wife, so that Ximenqing could rob my wife."

Long Xiao was a little puzzled: "Wu Dalang, when I tried the case that day, I saw that Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian almost fought, and the two of them had already broken up." Why are they mixed up again? ”。 Wu Dalang: "Lord County, you were deceived by them, Ximen Qing, this slut Pan Jinlian, is a double reed, just to show you, you said at the time that you were going to play 80 boards and be imprisoned, they were frightened, so they performed such a scene." After we went home, the next day, I went out to sell cooking cakes, and Ximenqing came to our house, which my brother saw with his own eyes, and my slut Pan Jinlian was with Ximenqing again."

Long Xiao understood: "So that's the case, then why do you still need some resignation?" Wu Dalang: "I can't write it, it's the judgment of the magistrate, I can't listen to it, people are officials, I am the people, besides, since that slut is unwilling to live with me, I am also discouraged, let her go", Long Xiao smiled: "Wu Dalang, you are so willing, your wife was snatched away by others, I heard your brother say, you still plan to give you a boy and a girl?" ”。 Wu Dalang sighed: "What can I do if I am unwilling, one is the owner of the largest medicinal herb shop in Shenwu County, and the other is the Lord of Zhixian County, what is the use of being unwilling?" ”。

Wu Dalang is also telling the truth, although people look a little obscene, but people are not bad, plus there is a handsome younger brother, Long Xiao feels that he should help Wu Dalang, anyway, he has nothing in another world, he is still young, this official thing has to take his time, helping a poor person is also a pleasure. Long Xiao: "Wu Dalang, do you want to take revenge on Ximenqing and let out a bad breath?" ”。 Wu Dalang was stunned when he heard this: "How can I be angry, I can't beat him, and the money can't compare to him, what can I do?" ”。

Long Xiao: "Then do you want to get rich?" Wu Dalang: "Of course I want to, but I'm just a cookcake seller, and I can't earn a few taels of silver a month, how can I make a fortune?" ”。 Long Xiao: "Didn't I give you 1,000 taels of silver, didn't the magistrate also give you 1,000 taels of silver, adding up to 2,000 taels, won't you do business?" ”。 Wu Dalang shook his head: "No, this 2,000 taels of silver, I am keeping it for my brother Wu Chao to find a daughter-in-law, my life is over, I can't let my brother be lonely anymore, this silver can't be moved, this is my brother's daughter-in-law."

Settle the feud far away from the single ball from the moon to the early end

Long Xiao smiled and said: "Wu Dalang, you are really an honest man, 2,000 taels of silver will never move, it will always be 2,000 taels, if you do business, you will come back 3,000 taels, or even 30,000 taels, when the time comes, don't say that your brother Wu Chao is looking for a daughter-in-law, it is you, you have become a big boss, and some women live with you." As soon as Wu Dalang heard that he could still find a daughter-in-law, his heart became lively: "Lord County, then what should I do?" ”。 Long Xiao: "Wu Dalang, do you believe me?" Wu Dalang naturally believes that Long Xiao is the county Cheng, and in Wu Dalang's eyes, he is the No. 2 person in the county, and he is one of the biggest officials: "County Cheng, I believe it." Long Xiao said with a smile: "That's okay, tomorrow you go to the county yamen to find me, I will tell you in detail, I will definitely make you rich, you must surpass Ximen Qing and become the big boss of Shenwu County."
