Chapter 16: Merryman

16, Merry

It is said that the pawnshop shopkeeper was accepted by the "official errand" that day, and he was secretly glad that the nobleman helped, and the pawnshop was not charged with selling stolen goods. But when I made the accounts two days later, I remembered one thing: the official also took away the silver tickets, didn't he say that he would return the case after a few days of trial? Why is there no news yet? The shopkeeper first asked the guy to go to the yamen to explore the truth, and when the guy came back, he said that the yamen had not moved. The shopkeeper thought that the silver could not be taken back and did not explain to the owner, who did not know that the king of Lu Dao was a master of the door, so he personally ran to the yamen, found a relationship to see the master, and handed over a word.

When the master heard this, he was puzzled: "Why didn't I know about this...... Let me look it up. ”

The master turned over the file and found that there was no such case! There are no so-called thieves from the capital, and there are no officials to escort people back to their cells, let alone any evidence and silver tickets!

The shopkeeper was shocked into a cold sweat when he learned that five hundred taels was not a small amount. Although he was shocked and frightened at the time, he couldn't remember the appearance of the Qing official, but the name on the waist card of the messenger was attentive, so he asked: "Dare to ask if there is a person named Yang Da here?" ”

The master said yes, the shopkeeper's heart fell back a little, and he asked the master to invite Yang Da to come out and make it clear, what if the nobles were busy and forgot? After a while, Yang Da came, and naturally refused to admit that he had done such a thing, and the shopkeeper was anxious, and quarreled with him, and finally twisted him to go to Lord Zhizhou to ask for an explanation.

After Wang Yuanwai found out, he also came, bringing a group of fierce and vicious family members. He has always been a master who values silver more than his life, the government collects taxes first, and cheats the silver later, he has long held back a bad breath, and he is not afraid of making a big fuss, but also afraid of making a big fuss, so that the people will come to see the excitement and sweep away the face of the official!

When Miao Fan went out, Yang Dazheng and the Wang family were fighting, and the officials came forward to help when they saw this, and the two sides immediately started a scuffle, and they didn't know who it was, and they shot when they saw someone. Miao Fan was wearing soapy clothes, and when he was seen by the family, he couldn't help but wave his fist, and he happened to wipe his cheeks, and the corners of his mouth were immediately swollen.

He was beaten in a daze, and was about to turn back and reason, but the guy swung his fist up again, desperately fighting. Miao Fan dodged cleverly this time and didn't fight back, but the other party didn't give up, so he stared at him with an iron heart. He ducked for a while and retreated to the corner, his back against the wall, and watched as the sandbag-sized fist hit him head-on. He had no choice but to make a move, and chopped down with his palm, clamping the wrist of this guy, and then saw that he moved very fast and cleanly, dragging the thug's arm and twisting it out, and the bone joints were dislocated with a "click", and then Miao Fan turned his back and fell over the shoulder, and directly threw the reckless man over his shoulder and fell to the ground.

Jiading babbled in pain, Miao Fan sighed and stepped forward, bent down and stretched out his hand to help him connect the dislocation, but Jiading thought that he was going to chase after the victory, and hurriedly howled and called for help. The rest of the family heard that they were rushing towards this side again, Miao Fan was immediately surrounded by people, the other party didn't say a word and started to fight directly, he had no choice, so he had to come to cover the water with soldiers, and he didn't take the initiative to attack but passively took the move, Rao is like this, this group of people was still knocked down by him with three punches and two feet.

Miao Fan looked at a group of family members sleeping on the ground, and was really helpless: "You don't have to fight, I didn't make a serious shot, and I hurt everyone, I'm really sorry." ”

In fact, Miao Fan doesn't like to do things with people, he just learned Fuhu Arhat Boxing with Master Dingzen since he was a child, anyway, the master said that practicing kung fu is to strengthen the body, let him learn and he will learn. The first time he fought was in a private school, he was bullied and made fun of, saying that Dingzen was an old bald donkey and he was a little bald donkey, and he was a little wild seed born to Dingzen and a wild woman. Miao Fan has always been sullen and sulky, and he doesn't care much about people, but it's okay to scold him, and the master he respects has touched the scales. The person who didn't get angry looked good-tempered, but when he started the fire, it was terrifying, and Miao Fan, who was only eight years old at the time, didn't have the patience and cultivation he had now, so he angrily started and directly beat a twelve-year-old boy all over the ground to find his teeth.

After the incident, Master Dingzen went to apologize to the family on his behalf, and also sent medical expenses, Miao Fan squatted by the well of the Kinkaku Temple angrily and annoyed, and his eyes were red with grievances.

Master Dingzen smiled and touched his head: "It's time to eat." ”

"Master, aren't you angry?" The young Miao Fan still can't understand the four empty Buddha principles, but he just feels that many things in the world are unfair, "They say that about you, why don't you defend yourself?" Those nasty words...... I felt uncomfortable listening to it. ”

Dingzen looked at him lovingly and asked, "Do you remember the Bodhisattva's behavior?" ”

Miao Fan rubbed his eyes: "Always act as a receptive, do not kill, steal, and commit adultery, do not speak evilly, do not speak falsely, do not be greedy for evil desires, have no fear, do not have poisonous thoughts, and abandon all evil views, which is for the Bodhisattva." ”

"We are monks who serve the Buddha and the Bodhisattva, so why bother with these nonsense, just as a breeze in our ears. In the proverbial saying, it is the mouth that grows on others, and we can control where we can. Master Dingzen took him by the hand, patted the dirt off his robe, and suddenly laughed.

Miao Fan wondered: "What is Master laughing at?" ”

"I'm laughing at you. The other party is older and taller than you, but you broke his ribs, amazing! ”

"Aren't you mad at me?"

"What's so angry, I fought every day when I was your age, who didn't come over like this. But you can't do this often, otherwise there will be no money for the sesame oil in the temple......"

Since then, Miao Fan has not been in a fight, and today is the first time since he was eight years old that he has been forced to do it. Although the age is different, the opponent is different, but the result is still the same: he crippled others again.

"Stop!"

With a roar, Lord Zhizhou Lin Geng came, and the two groups of people who were scuffling were separated, Zhizhou stood forward in a deep manner, and saw that the officials were beaten to a blue nose and swollen face, and the Wang family's Ding Nursing Home also hung colors, and several people also broke their arms and legs.

Originally, such trivial matters would have been handed over to the judge in charge of the lawsuit, but the other party was a big tax payer in Xuzhou, so Lin Geng wanted to sell him face, so he came in person. But as soon as he came, his face darkened with anger, and a mere foreigner dared to take Diao Nu to the door to see what this group of wine bags and rice bags that were beaten up a lot were eating? The face of the government has been disgraced!

Lin Geng stepped forward and shouted at the officials: "Look what kind of system you have become!" It's all for the official to come back and stand up! After speaking, he looked at Wang Yuanwai with a cold face, and said with anger, "This official has heard that someone is beating a drum, and whoever has a grievance can state it in court, and this official will definitely deal with it impartially." But if anyone deliberately stirs up trouble, the official will definitely punish him for the crime of contempt of the government! ”

Although Zhizhou is not as big as the prefect's official, it is also an official of the imperial court, from the five grades. Lin Geng was quite official in his official uniform, and the Wang family didn't dare to make a mistake, so they retreated one after another, and the king shook the paper fan with a shy stomach and glanced at the pawnshop shopkeeper. The shopkeeper understood and immediately knelt down.

"Ask the master of the blue sky to be the villain's masterβ€”β€”"

This case is really difficult to decide, the shopkeeper and Yang Da have their own opinions, and both sides have witnesses, but there is no physical evidence. One said that the other party had blackmailed the money, and the other said that the other party had framed him. After the last argument, there was a dispute, and they almost fought again in the court. As the proprietor of the pawnshop, Wang Yuanwai stood under the hall to listen to the trial, fanning the flames from time to time. made Lin Geng one head and two big.

Lin Geng himself is partial to his own people, but he also knows a thing or two about what the officials usually do, as long as there is no major incident, he will turn a blind eye and pass it. Now that Yang Da is determined that there is no blackmail, Lin Geng also believes that he doesn't have to be like this, and swaggers to the pawnshop to cheat five hundred taels with a waist card, isn't that full of food? But if Yang Da is not disposed of, Wang Yuanwai will not give up. In the end, Lin Geng folded an intermediate method: the human and material evidence is insufficient, and the case cannot be decided on this basis, and the case will be retried after it is clarified. As a suspect, Yang Da stepped down from his post first and went home to await trial.

Although both parties are dissatisfied with this decision, but now the situation favors either side, the other party will not give up, Zhizhou's method temporarily appeased Wang Yuan, he took the pawnshop shopkeeper and left angrily, while Yang Da took off his soapy blue clothes, took the waist card and returned it to the master, and went to the backyard room to clean up his things.

The more Yang Da thought about it, the more he didn't understand, and the more angry he became, and when he returned to the house, he smashed it in a rage, and scolded his subordinates at the top of his throat: "Which of you stole grandpa's waist card?" Stand out! ”

The officials looked at each other: "Boss...... No, I don't. ”

"None? No fart! Lao Tzu saw that you just wanted to climb to Lao Tzu's head to make a fortune, so you planted and framed you! Yang Da scolded loudly, couldn't figure out what was going on, and saw Miao Fan standing aside indifferently, neither comforting nor persuading, with a stiff face that seemed to be a little gloating.

Yang Da was angry, pointed at Miao Fan's nose and shouted, "Did you do it?" ”

Only the people in the yamen can easily steal the waist card, Miao Fan is new, they usually bully him, let him do dirty work and deliberately don't give him food, he must have a grudge and come up with such a poisonous plan to harm people! And he was the only one who stayed in the yamen that day, and he didn't go to patrol the streets with them, and he had time to commit crimes alone!

Miao Fan shook his head: "No, I helped my master sort out the paperwork at that time." He was in the public court to observe the trial and remembered the events of that day very clearly, because he was busy working alone in the yamen during the day, and Qianqian came in the evening...... That night was the first time he had carried a girl when he was so old.

Yang Da was so angry that he didn't have anything to do, and at this time, the master sent other team leaders to urge Yang Da to leave quickly, otherwise Wang Yuanwai would make trouble again. Yang Da didn't dare to go through the gate, so he slipped out of the corner gate, and a group of subordinates followed behind his ass to see him off, saying comforting words in his mouth, nothing more than enduring it and coming back after a few days.

Miao Fan also sent him out of the city, and also comforted: "Those who are pure are self-purifying." The perpetrators of the crime cannot escape, and the sky net is magnificent, and negligence is not leaked. ”

Yang Da felt that what he said was indecent, glared at him hatefully, and snorted coldly: "You are my apprentice, now that I want to leave, you don't need to stay!" Pack up and get out! After saying that, he also warned the other officials not to take Miao Fan in.

Miao Fan was shocked by the sudden bad news, he opened his mouth to defend something, or plead, but his throat seemed to be stuck and he couldn't make a sound. Yang Da poured all his anger on him, felt a little better, opened the corner door and stepped out, but saw Qianqian standing outside, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"You ......" Yang Da was surprised, thinking that Qianqian was coming to him, and greeted him with a smile, "The lady is here to ......"

Who knew that Qianqian turned a blind eye to Yang Da, and didn't glance at him out of the corner of his eye, but walked straight over to hold Miao Fan, holding hands and looking very intimate.

She tilted her head and smiled like a flower: "Come home with me." ”

Miao Fan came back to his senses for a long time, and lowered his eyes to see that beautiful face full of smiles, and his beautiful eyes were eager, and he was stupid again: "Why do you want to go home with you......"

"They've all left you, and you're still here?" Qianqiannu was dissatisfied, holding Miao Fan's arm and coquettishly, "Hurry up and pack your things, we said it's okay, you move out and live with me." ”

The other officials around gasped: Live together? What is the relationship between the two?

Miao Fan was embarrassed by everyone's scouting, his ears turned red, and he lowered his head and whispered in defense: "I only said to think about it, and I didn't promise ......."

"You have to say yes if you promise, and you have to say yes if you don't promise!" Qianqian took great pains to get closer to him, but he avoided being like a snake and scorpion, which made her angry, so annoyed that she stomped her feet and simply resorted to a killer move.

She suddenly took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes, and immediately cried when she spoke: "Why are you like this?" I've been ...... by you Woo, do you want to abandon irresponsibility? ”

The jaws of the people around him were going to drop.
