Ji Xiangyun glanced at Cen Wenhan and said faintly: "I don't know where my family is, you don't object to following the third brother now, right?" ”

Cen Wenhan thought that it was still early for him to meet Liao Wenxiu, so he glanced at Ji Xiangyun and said, "I want to go around now, and you will follow?" ”

"Of course!" It seems that Ji Xiangyun can't get rid of it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There is a He family village fifty miles outside Xi'an Mansion, there is a He Xiucai in this Zhuangzi, this He Xiucai ancestor Yin Shi left him a large amount of family wealth, this He Xiucai is a person who strives for fame, this year he wants to go to Beijing to catch the exam before thinking that his family has a lot of gold and silver, if he is not at home to lose it is sorry for his ancestors, so he secretly put the gold and silver at home into a jar buried under the low wall of his own backyard and arranged a servant of his own house to guard the door, he brought some fine soft as a coil to Beijing to catch the exam.

Not long after He Xiucai left home, Cao Ren, a poor man in this He family village, saw that there was no one in the He family, so he sneaked into He Xiucai's house and stayed. This Cao Ren works for others to earn some money on weekdays, but because the days of working on weekdays are not every day, so his own house has also collapsed, this winter when he saw that he Xiucai went to Beijing, only one family guarded the house, he thought that he was like this, he would live in the empty house of He Xiucai's house, and then make plans when it was hot next year.

This morning Cao Ren got up and was in a hurry, he didn't dare to go to the thatched toilet in the yard to solve it, for fear of meeting the servants of the He family who guarded the house, he looked around and found that the low wall in the backyard was a good place, so he ran to the low wall in the backyard to solve it, when he lifted his pants, he found that his urine quickly submerged into the soil, then he guessed that there must be something buried under the low wall, and at night Cao Ren secretly came to the low wall in the backyard and dug it up, and soon he dug out the gold and silver that He Xiucai buried there.

This Cao Ren was originally a very poor man, and with this lot of gold and silver was also his luck, he first bought a house to live in with some bits and pieces, and gradually moved the silver to his own house and pretended to do a small business, and slowly made the business bigger, and within a few years he built a porch house, opened a powder house, a mill, and an oil house...... The business that he did rose like a summer flood.

The most annoying thing for Cen Wenhan along the way was that Ji Xiangyun asked him how to drive snakes, and was the bear really raised by him? And also...... Anyway, Ji Xiangyun's curiosity made Cen Wenhan struggling to deal with it, and in the end he simply ignored Ji Xiangyun, but he didn't expect this girl to use the trick of fake crying to give him a headache, and it wasn't until the last few days that Ji Xiangyun stopped asking him about these things, and his ears were a little quiet.

When Cen Wenhan and the two arrived at Hejiazhuang, it was already dark, they came to the door of He Xiucai's house at the entrance of the village, and wanted to spend the night here, Cen Wenhan knocked on the door and a white-haired old man came to open the door, and after he explained his intention to the old man, the old man went back first and asked the master before he came out and brought the two of them to the guest room.

After Cen Wenhan and the others settled down, they wanted to come out to find something to eat, and then he saw a young man sitting in the courtyard admiring the moon alone, so he also walked to the courtyard, and then the young man saw that the guests arrived in the courtyard and hurriedly got up to greet him, and Cen Wenhan knew that this was the owner of the house, He Xiucai. When the two were talking in the courtyard, their stomachs kept barking, and at this time, Cen Wenhan looked at this He Xiucai carefully, he saw that this person was cleanly dressed and very new, but if there was only one old servant in the family, there was a sudden doubt in his heart, why this master was so poor and sour that he didn't even have anything to eat.

Ji Xiangyun was also hungry at this time, she went out of the house and saw Cen Wenhan talking to the master and walked forward to say hello, at this time Ji Xiangyun also changed into men's clothes for the convenience of walking, He Xiucai didn't see that she was a daughter and was also talking to her in the yard, but the stomachs of the three of them were not angry, and the whole yard was full of echoes, He Xiucai glanced at the two of them embarrassedly and sighed deeply, at this time Cen Wenhan couldn't help it, "What happened to the master's family?" ”

"Nothing happened!" He Xiucai was still covering up the silver at this time.

Cen Wenhan said with a smile: "The two of us are strangers, please tell us if you have anything to say, if you can help us, you will help you, if you can't help you, we will listen to a story." ”

He Xiucai wanted to speak at this time, just now the old servant just happened to come in with hot water and heard Cen Wenhan's words, so he burst into tears and told him that he was staying at home and was also stolen silver, and He Xiucai next to him also kept sighing, Cen Wenhan heard the old servant say this, and suddenly felt that this He Xiucai was really a good person, just imagine if he went out but the family was stolen because the servants in his own home were not strictly guarded, ordinary people would have beaten this servant to death. But this He Xiucai didn't mean anything about this old servant.

Cen Wenhan glanced at Ji Xiangyun, Ji Xiangyun knew how to go out to buy food, so he said to He Xiucai: "Dare to ask if there are any people around here who have become rich in the past few years?" ”

He Xiucai glanced at the old servant next to him, and the old servant thought for a while and hurriedly said, "Yes!" There used to be a poor man named Cao Ren, who didn't live anywhere, but in the past few years, for some reason, he suddenly became rich, but people around him said that he was a small business and gradually started his family. ”

Cen Wenhan nodded and said, "It seems that it's him." ”

At this time, Ji Xiangyun came back from buying food, and Cen Wenhan asked everyone to sit down and eat first. That night, the three of them climbed in the yard and talked until late at night before going back to rest.

Early the next morning, He Xiucai posted a notice in the village, willing to sell his house for a thousand taels of silver, and several families came to talk to He Xiucai about buying a house that day, but they all broke up because the price was not good. A few days later, Cao Ren saw the notice, and he thought that he had dug up a large jar of gold and silver in Xiucai's house, and now if he bought that house, maybe he could dig something under the house.

Cao Ren talked with He Xiucai for a long time, and finally talked about the house price to eight hundred taels. The next day, Cao Ren took the silver to He Xiucai's house, and at this time, there were two other people in He Xiucai's family who were also talking in the courtyard, he glanced at the two and asked, "......Who are these two?" ”

He Xiucai pointed to the two and said: "This is the guarantor I invited from the city, and the people in the village are reluctant to take the first guarantee because the housing prices are too high." ”

Cao Ren glanced at the two and didn't say much, he asked his family to go outside the house to guard, and then he checked He Xiucai's title deed before taking out the silver they negotiated eight hundred taels, He Xiucai carefully inspected the silver brought by Cao Ren and then handed the silver to the guarantor next to him, the guarantor looked at all the ingots of silver and put the silver on the table, and then the guarantor took out a sign from his body and handed it to Cao Ren's eyes, Cao Ren was dumbfounded when he saw the brand.

It turned out that this person handed over a waist card from the government, needless to say that this person was from the government, Cao Ren pretended to be confused and said: "He Xiucai, ...... are you?" ”

The official who took out the waist card said: "Today, the plaintiff He Xiucai went to the state capital to complain, saying that when he went to Beijing to take the exam, his family lost and stole the silver left by his ancestors, and we came here to arrest the person who stole the silver." ”

Cao Ren said unhurriedly at this time: "This official, why do you say that you are a thief of silver?" ”

"With the money you have taken out." The man said, pointing to the silver on the table.

"What happened to the money I took?" Cao Ren felt a little puzzled.

"Do you see that there is a mark on the bottom of each ingot of silver?" After saying that, the duke picked up a silver ingot and pointed to a triangular mark at the bottom.

Cao Ren was shocked at the time, he picked up the silver on the table and looked at the bottom, and sure enough, there was a triangular mark at the bottom of these silvers, "It doesn't mean anything if there is such a mark?" Cao Ren was still struggling at this time.

At this time, He Xiucai took out a chisel from his arms and put it in front of him, Cao Ren picked up the chisel and looked at it and had to complain, it turned out that those marks were marked by this escort, and now things are very clear, these silver are the silver lost in He Xiucai's house. The official followed and said: "Okay, you Cao Ren, you stole a lot of gold and silver from other people's homes and dared to use the money to buy other people's old mansions, now that everyone has stolen them, let's go to the yamen and say it!" ”

Cao Ren fell into such a big pit and suddenly felt that the sky had fallen, and he knelt down with a "plop" and said: "The little one shouldn't have stolen Mr. He's silver and came to buy Mr. He's ancestral house, but the little one has worked hard to earn a lot of belongings with these silver over the years, and he can't lose the small belongings for this!" ”

He Xiucai looked at Cao Ren who was kneeling on the ground and asked him what was going on, and Cao Ren told him that he had no room to live in because of the cold, so he sneaked into He Xiucai's house to hide from the cold, and later found that He Xiucai had stolen the silver buried under the low wall and made a fortune.

He Xiucai didn't speak for a long time after listening to Cao Ren's words, and only after a long time did he say: "You need to return the gold and silver you stole from my house, and I will give you half of the shop you opened with my silver, and the other half will belong to me, and you will still do those businesses in the future." ”

Cao Ren and the two officials were stunned when they heard He Xiucai say this, Cao Ren quickly agreed without thinking about it, and then He Xiucai took out four hundred taels of silver from the table and gave it to the two officials and said: "Please go back and check up and down, just say that this case has been solved, and it is me He who remembers the wrong place to bury the silver." ”

The official took the silver and said with a smile: "He Xiu will still be a man!" ”

He Xiucai asked the servant to take out a pen and paper and draw a note with Cao Ren on the spot, and the two of them put it away, and then the two servants followed Cao Ren to his house and took the gold and silver he had dug from He Xiucai's house.

After returning to He Xiucai's house, the two officials resumed their outfits, these two were Cen Wenhan and Ji Xiangyun, at this time, Ji Xiangyun took out the gold and silver that he brought back and looked at the bottom carefully, "Why don't these gold and silver have that mark?" ”

Cen Wenhan said with a smile: "The marks were all pressed when I looked at the silver. ”

It turned out that when Cao Ren took out the silver and put it on the table, He Xiucai gave it to Cen Wenhan to see the authenticity of the silver, but in fact, Cen Wenhan took out the chisel and pressed the mark to the bottom of the silver with his fingers, so that these silver became the silver with the mark in He Xiucai's house, Cao Ren was also a thief at that time, and he didn't have time to think about it before he admitted to stealing silver.

After saying goodbye to He Xiucai, Cen Wenhan and the two continued to play on the road, along the way Ji Xiangyun suddenly became very quiet, Cen Wenhan couldn't help but ask her why she didn't talk after a long time, Ji Xiangyun thought for a while and suddenly smiled: "I've always wanted to give you a catchy nickname." ”

When Cen Wenhan heard this, he happily straightened his chest and asked, "What nickname did you think of?" ”

"Little Devil!" After Ji Xiangyun finished saying word by word, he hurriedly ran away.

Cen Wenhan was stunned at the time, "Little devil! At this time, he knew that Ji Xiangyun was teasing himself, he hurriedly ran away with Ji Xiangyun, he had to catch this girl and clean it up.
