After arriving at Hangzhou Mansion, after he called to open the door of Zhang's house, the person who opened the door also looked at him suspiciously several times before bringing him to the owner. When he came to the front of the owner, Cen Wenhan glanced at the owner, who was a small old man, and the silk he was wearing could tell that he was rich. Just when Cen Wenhan was looking at the little old man, the little old man also looked at Cen Wenhan a few times, he didn't expect to arrange such an obscene person to help him.
"Presumably Sir knows what we want you to do, right?" The little old man's speech made it feel like something was in his mouth.
"Of course I know, someone uses his land to gradually get closer to your family's ancestral grave, and I just try to make it impossible for him to get close to your family's ancestral grave." Cen Wenhan knew what he was here for.
"This Shi Fu is a local ruffian, he takes advantage of the strong and bullies on weekdays, and the locals are afraid of him, which has nothing to do with me, but this Shi Fu doesn't know what he likes about my ancestral grave, and he just has a piece of land next to my ancestral grave, so he uses cultivated land as a reason to gradually move his land to my cemetery." The little old man told Cen Wenhan angrily.
"Uncle Zhang is afraid that if he lets this place of restoration close to your ancestral tomb again, he will destroy your family's feng shui, right?" Cen Wenhan understood what this little old man meant.
"Not bad!" The little old man glanced at Cen Wenhan with a suspicious gaze again, he didn't know if the person in front of him could help him get rid of that ruffian.
Cen Wenhan came to Sance County outside the city, he first exchanged some broken silver from the messenger who collected money and grain from the county treasury, and then found an inn in the county to live.
On this day, Shi Fu went to walk on the street after eating, and then he saw a single customer in front of him picking up a bag on the ground. Shi Fu hurriedly rushed forward to stop the guest, the guest turned around and turned out that he was Cen Wenhan, Shi Fu didn't recognize Cen Wenhan, he said to Cen Wenhan: "This is what I fell, you return me!" ā
"I'm walking in front of you, you're coming behind, how did this bag become what you dropped? Why are you so disrespectful! "Cen Wenhan doesn't lose the courtesy.
Shi Fu saw that Cen Wenhan ignored him, so he reached out and grabbed the bag in Cen Wenhan's hand, Cen Wenhan pretended to let him pull one of the straps of the bag, and the two of them pulled the bag and made a fuss on the street. At this time, the neighbors saw the two of them pulling a bag on the street, and everyone gathered around to ask the reason, but it was not easy for both of them to say the origin, so both of them said that the bag was their own, and they were also vigorously fighting for the bag in their hands. At this time, an old man came out and said, "You both say that this bag is your own, and you both say what is in this bag, and the right bag is his." ā
Shi Fu scolded: "Who is impatient to confess to you riddles, I only recognize that this bag is mine, if you return me, then it's enough, if you don't pay me back, I will fight to the death with you." ā
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone knew that this bag was not Shi Fu's, but there were many people in the county who were afraid of Shi Fu, so they helped persuade Cen Wenhan and said: "Guest, don't you know this Brother Shi?" He is a well-known local hero. You also picked up this bag on the ground, and the material is not yours. You can use it to get acquainted with this Brother Shi, which is also a matter of course. ā
Cen Wenhan was almost choked to death by the four words of course, he pretended to be helpless and said: "This bag is indeed not mine, but the wealth can be taken righteously." Since the rank is kind and persuasive, I am willing to open the bag to see what it is. If some of the lottery heads are divided into three shares, they will each get one share with Brother Shi, and the remaining one will be given to the ranks to make a profit, and they will drink three cups in the store as a reward. ā
The old man said: "The guest officer is right, Brother Shi and let go, and hand it over to the old man." After the two let go, the old man opened the bag and saw that there was a large cloth bag inside, and there were three or four layers of paper in the cloth bag, and two ingots of snowflake-like silver were wrapped in it, and each ingot had ten taels of light.
Shi Fu saw that these two ingots of silver were very loving, so he deceived and said: "If the three strands are separated, it is a pity that these two ingots will be damaged." I have a few taels of broken silver with me, and I will go to buy livestock, so I will take them out and give them to the guests, and I will keep them with me. As he spoke, three or four bits and pieces came out of his waist, and when they were scraped together, they were less than four taels of silver.
Of course, Cen Wenhan didn't accept this bit of broken silver, and they quarreled again. At this time, someone nodded Cen Wenhan and said: "This Brother Shi is not easy to mess with!" You've got some, and you're gone! ā
The old man just now also persuaded: "Guest officer, you take the money and leave, we won't eat you anymore!" ā
Seeing this, Cen Wenhan left helplessly, looked at Cen Wenhan's distant back and said: "Although there is no broken silver around me, there is a hotel on the front street opened by my brother-in-law. ā
A group of fourteen or fifteen people walked to Shi Fu's uncle's hotel on the front street, Shi Fu got two ingots of silver in vain, and then thanked everyone for their help and relied on the guest's silver, and he always felt uneasy, besides, this is the hotel opened by his brother-in-law's family, so he moved over with good wine and food to invite everyone to eat.
Everyone ate until sunset, and then they were drunk before they let go, and when they settled the bill, they ate a total of three taels of silver, and Shi Fujiao recorded it in their own accounts. And they all went out and went home.
After Cen Wenhan returned to the inn, he paid special attention to Shi Fu's movements, and two days later, Shi Fuyi wanted to repay the wine money for inviting people to eat and drink that day, and he had no other silver taels at home, so he had to take out the cash ingots and snow-white silver, and find the silver dumping shop on the street to dump it, hoping to add some silver water.
The silversmith took the silver, looked at it in his hand for a long time, and then shook his hand a few times and asked, "Where did this money come from?" ā
Shi Fu was stunned for a moment and replied, "It was a transaction." ā
The silversmith shook his head and said, "Da Lang was coaxed, this is an iron tire fake silver, and there is only a thin layer of skin on the outside, and there is lead and iron inside." ā
Shi Fu didn't believe it, he asked the silversmith to chisel the two ingots of silver, and the silversmith shook his head and said, "Don't blame Da Lang for the chisel." ā
Shi Fu nodded silently, and the silversmith opened a hole in the ping-pong chisel with his hand, and the silver skin cracked, revealing a fake inside. Shi Fu sat on the table and looked at the two ingots of silver in a daze. Seeing this, Cen Wenhan knew that the time had come, so he hurriedly ran to the street to find the tolerance of the street patrol, saying that someone was making counterfeit silver.
Shi Fu sat at the table and thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he was about to find an incident, two people came in from outside the door, and they shouted loudly and couldn't help but say that the chain was buckled around Shi Fu's neck and escorted to the county hall.
It turned out that when Cen Wenhan arrived in Sance County, he used fake silver to exchange this broken silver in the hands of tolerance, and later the county magistrate found out that the library received fake silver and secretly sent people to visit outside, this time Shi Fu's fake silver and the fake silver received in the county treasury are the same, the county saw the fake silver presented and immediately became angry in his heart, and he couldn't help but say that he hit him with 30 boards when he came up, and then sent him to prison, asking him to compensate for a few ingots of fake silver received on the treasury.
Shi Fu had no choice but to sell his land at a discount, and the central people explained the origin of the two ingots of silver at the magistrate's office. Zhixian didn't care what he was wronged, now Zhixian just wanted to make up for him with the fake silver in the county treasury, and Shi Fu happened to hit the knife, Shi Fu was helpless, and sold everything that could be sold at home to make up enough silver to deliver it to the county to get out.
Cen Wenhan came to Zhang's house, and the Zhang family was overjoyed to see him coming, they didn't expect this obscene gentleman to clean up Shi Fu in just three days, and they also lost no time in buying Shi Fu's land close to his family's ancestral grave. Cen Wenhan went to Hangzhou Mansion after receiving the remaining silver from the Zhang family, and he still had important things to do.
