Chapter Twenty-Six: The Magical Scale
Li Papi and other small officials were scared and urinated.
If you are not afraid of reasoning, you are afraid of stinky hills!
And he will kill as soon as he makes a move, no matter how much he dares to play a scoundrel, how can he dare to provoke these uncles?
And when you look at the identity of the other party, it is not ordinary, and it is not as simple as ordinary manpower.
"Grandpa spares his life, grandpa spares his life!" Li Papi shouted, and by the way, he gestured with his eyes and asked people to report to the county uncle.
The two of them were about to slip away, Qin Shubao's chin continued to rise slightly, and the two Xuanjia soldiers suddenly set up their bows, and with two screams, the two people fell to the ground with arrows stuck in their legs.
"I haven't been honest until now, it seems that I have lived too many arrogant and domineering days!"
Qin Shubao snorted coldly, these Tang Dynasty rivers and mountains were all fought down by them, how can they tolerate this kind of obscene and cowardly?
Even their army here is not willing to be honest, but you can imagine how to oppress the people of Wannian County in peacetime.
Li Papi was completely frightened and stupid, for fear that he would also be hit by an arrow, and knelt on the ground and trembled.
Chen Xu walked over, and he didn't know what was going on, obviously it was the first time he had seen this kind of violent scene, but he didn't feel any discomfort, maybe everyone was different.
"Take out your grain, and I'll weigh it on the spot." Chen Xu said.
"You bring the scales of these dog things, and then bring the scales in your hands, and we will weigh them together, whose scales are in trouble, try and know."
Listening to Chen Xu's instructions, many people who were originally frightened by these soldiers and didn't dare to speak were overjoyed, and only then did they determine that these military masters were indeed here to help them.
Fang Shizheng was the most agile, found the mark of his family's grain, and said to Chen Xu: "Shopkeeper, this grain should be five buckets and sixty catties, and the upper and lower errors will not be more than two taels, please check!" β
Chen Xu nodded, took the electronic scale out of the carriage, and gently placed it on the ground.
Qin Shubao and the others looked at this thing curiously, and Alun was also watching from the side, she couldn't figure out what this thing was, so the owner watched it cautiously along the way.
After turning on the power switch, Chen Xu reached out and pressed it on it, and clearly saw that the numbers on it were scrolling, so he nodded with satisfaction.
Then he lifted the grain to the electronic scale, and in an instant numbers began to appear on the electronic screen, scrolling rapidly, and then slowly stopped at a number.
Everyone looked at each other inexplicably, not knowing what the numbers above meant.
Chen Xu pressed the button under the electronic screen again, switching the Arabic numerals to Chinese numerals.
"Look from left to right." Chen Xu reminded.
Fang Shizheng then read: "Thirty .02 kilograms...... This, shopkeeper, what does this mean, no matter how little food I have, it can't be half the weight. β
He began to panic.
Chen Xu shook his head: "Stupid, one kilogram is equal to two catties, you double this number again, you are a scholar, this kind of problem will not be counted, right?" β
"Yes, yes." Fang Shizheng hurriedly said, and then calculated it, and got the weight of sixty catties and four coins, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this number was almost the same as the result of his own weighing, and it showed a little more.
"Bring all your grain, and we'll weigh it one by one."
So people took their grain one by one, and the final result was about 60 catties, and there was basically no error, after all, this was what they had already weighed at home.
"Bring up the scale of this dog thing, I won't use this thing, General Qin, you can stare at it." Chen Xu said.
Qin Shubao nodded, he realized that this strange iron lump was actually used to weigh it, this is also incredible, something has a weight when you put it up, it is like a dream.
But he can't be in a hurry to draw conclusions first, and when the time comes, he has to try it himself, otherwise he won't dare to believe his eyes.
Li Papi watched in horror as his scales were taken, and then under the watchful eyes of a group of people, Fang Shizheng's grain began to be re-weighed.
"There's something wrong with this scale, what can be weighed."
Qin Shubao doesn't need to look at the results at all, how can he see the results at a glance.
Sure enough, the final result was only 51 catties, and the scale of Li Papi was very heavy, but the weight displayed was very light, which caused an obvious difference in data.
"Fake, it's all fake, there's something wrong with your scales!" Li Peel shouted.
Qin Shubao snorted coldly and took off his saber: "This knife has a net weight of eight catties and two taels, and it is marked with words, this general will never use such a thing to deceive you, right?" β
Chen Xu took it and put it on his electronic scale first, and the data displayed was 4.11 kilograms, Qin Shubao silently doubled the number, and was surprised to find that there was nothing wrong at all!
"Master Chen, is this electronic scale really so amazing?"
Qin Shubao felt that he was really dreaming, if he still had an attitude of disbelief just now, where would he dare to doubt now.
"Of course, what I Chen Xu took out is naturally not simple."
Chen Xu smiled, at this time it was Fang Shizheng's turn to weigh his own scales, Chen Xu asked them to bring a scale, first of all, all of everyone's scales were over, showing that they were all about the same weight, indicating that everyone's scales were either real or fake.
The result naturally doesn't need to be said, and at this time Chen Xu is not enough, he asked everyone to go to the pig killing shop next to him to borrow the other party's scale, and then see if the scale of the pig killer is the same as them.
The result was similar, and suddenly, Chen Xu looked at Li Papi with the eyes of a dead man.
"Dog, what else do you want to say?"
"This is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, Fang Shizheng and these scholars will be protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven in the future, and scholars enjoy privileges, but when they come to you, not only do they not see any convenience, but they are also oppressed by them!"
"You are a little official, forgive you for not having such courage, I think most of it is that Wannian County has problems from top to bottom, General Qin, you know what to do."
Qin Shubao didn't talk nonsense, and with a wave of his hand, a group of Xuanjia soldiers directly rushed into the county government of Wannian County and grabbed the big and small officials inside.
Seeing the scales in front of him, as well as the few officials who were killed mercilessly in the township, and Li Papi, who was like a mourner, the county magistrate didn't know what was wrong.
His heart was like ashes, but at this time, his heart moved: "You are His Royal Highness the King of Qin?" β
"Not bad." Qin Shubao nodded.
The county magistrate laughed: "I'm sorry, but I'm an official under the prince, so it's not your turn to kill or take it, right?" None of you can touch me today! β
Qin Shubao and the other Xuanjia soldiers were immediately furious, this person belonged to the prince's faction, and he was so bold and reckless, it was like death!
They looked at Chen Xu, and Chen Xu narrowed his eyes: "What about the prince, the whole world is not the king's land, the world is royal, since you have committed a crime, can't King Qin take you?" β
"Hehe, who doesn't know the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Qin, even if I make a mistake, your King Qin's people are not qualified to care about me, otherwise do you want to arouse the anger of His Royal Highness the Prince?"
The county master didn't know the person in front of him at all, he knew Qin Shubao's name but had never seen a real person, not to mention that even if he had seen him, he shouldn't take it seriously, after all, he was not one of those little officials, he could be beaten and killed.
And who doesn't know that now that the crown prince is powerful, and the king of Qin is forced to do nothing, how can the prince admit it and hand him over in this situation?
