Chapter 115: The White Turtle Presents Treasure
A few days later, the Xiyang City military square outside the crowd, the black crowd will be a vacant land surrounded by water, today is the Xiyang City loan shopkeepers and military households 'settle the day', Bazhou Thorn Shi Yu Wenwen came to the scene to 'preside over justice'.
At the scene, Yuwen Envoy Jun sat on a straw mat with his back to the north and south, and a group of officials stood behind him, the shopkeepers of each family sat expressionlessly on the east side, and the representatives of several state soldiers and military households such as Quan You sat on the west side with anxiety.
The shopkeepers came here today, and Yuwen envoy 'presided over justice' on the surface, but in their hearts, they were bitter, and they all pondered that this 'Yuwen wolf' was afraid to use force.
According to the IOU, those poor military households have accumulated tens of thousands of dollars in arrears, and they can't afford to pay it back in their lifetimes, this Yuwen wolf said it well, and to uphold justice is actually to repay the debts and get a good reputation.
It's nothing more than patting his chest and saying that he wants to personally pay out to help the poor ghosts pay off their debts, but now there is anyone in Xiyang City who dares to take his money, so this account probably can't be recovered, and I don't know what dirty methods and intimidation the owner was made by Yuwen Envoy, all of which were ordered, and everything today is handled by this state official who is known as 'God Judgment'.
Where did the onlookers think so much, I heard that today's Yuwen envoy who is like a god in the case wants to 'uphold justice', all of them bring their families to see the excitement, a few days ago, the case of Liu Blacksmith's murder of his wife was solved by Yuwen, so everyone wants to see with their own eyes how to solve the problem now.
The proprietors behind these lenders are powerful and powerful households on the territory of Bazhou, if the money released cannot be recovered, it will really boil and revolt, although the state soldiers who owe debts are of humble status, they are also considered to be swordsmen who lick blood, if the family is forced to live by the money, I am afraid that the dog will jump off the wall in a hurry, and everyone is very curious about how this Yuwen envoy wants to 'uphold justice'.
"Silence, silence!" Bo Zhengtong, the governor of the state, shouted at the top of his voice, and the noise quickly calmed down with the help of the soldiers of the New Army who maintained order. He began to explain aloud what he was going to do next.
The gist of it is that the state soldiers are in a difficult situation, and the shopkeepers are 'enthusiastic to help' to borrow money to help them get by, but they did not expect that there will be unforeseen circumstances, and the profits will roll more and more, and the state soldiers will not be able to pay it back and the shopkeepers will not be able to collect the accounts, so that the originally good things will become bad things and it is very tricky.
The newly appointed Yuwen envoy Jun investigated the people's situation and learned that the matter was very important, and felt that it was not a way to delay it any longer, so after several days of mediation, he invited both sides outside this military square today, and in the presence of neighbors, to settle the matter of repaying the debt but having no money to repay.
When the state soldiers borrowed money, they wrote down the IOU, and it was recorded that the interest was rolled according to the interest, but it must not be paid back now. The shopkeepers lent money for several years and failed to recover the principal with interest, so they couldn't use it to do other business and make money, and it was a big loss, but this was not difficult for Yuwen Envoy because he had an 'adventure'.
"The night before yesterday, Yuwen made Jun get a dream from the gods, saying that the state soldiers were in distress and ordered the beasts to come to help, and then according to the instructions of the gods, they came to the back garden pond and saw a white turtle offering treasure!" Zheng Tong said without changing his face, and the surrounding military households and onlookers were stunned for a moment and then sighed when they heard the words: It is the affectionate and righteous white turtle that has returned!
This has to start from more than 200 years ago, when the Jin general Mao Bao bought a rare white turtle in Wuchang, raised and released back to the Yangtze River after having nowhere to stay, and later Zhao army went south to attack the states of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Jiangbei, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Mao Bao and Xiyang Taishou Fan Jun led the Jin army to defend the city (near the current Xiyang City). When the city was broken, the Jin army broke through to the southern foot of Longtou Mountain.
Because there were no boats on the river, these Jin troops could not cross the river, so they had to fight bloodily with the chasing Zhao army, and finally the whole army was annihilated.
It turned out that the big turtle was the white turtle he released back then, and now he learned that the benefactor was in trouble and came to the rescue, and the soldiers had a white turtle to cross the Yangtze River and survive.
The locals of Xiyang County are familiar with the legend of the white turtle crossing the river, so they are convinced that Zheng Zhubo said that there is a white turtle offering treasure, and the focus of everyone's attention is not whether the white turtle comes or not, but what the treasure will be.
Compared with these amazed people, the shopkeepers couldn't cry or laugh, and the shopkeeper Jiang sneered in his heart when he heard Zheng Zhubo say this: It turned out to be a treasure under the pretense of a name, and it was about to take a few broken stones and say that it was a treasure to pay off debts.
'It's so ugly! Several shopkeepers thought the same thing, they sat expressionlessly, like a female singer who was about to be pushed down by a guest, since the owner had explained it, even if it was a piece of, they had to pinch their noses and eat it.
"Bring the baby up." Zheng Tongbao waved solemnly. I saw several officials parting from the crowd, and a few people carrying wooden boxes to the middle of the field, everyone saw this formation, and they all stood on tiptoe and poked their heads out to see the demeanor of the baby.
Surrounded by walls. The courtyard wall and even the trees were already full of people, but now they saw that the officials were carrying a big wooden box in, and they were all trying to look around, and some of them were distracted, and even fell down, and they didn't care about crying out for pain, and they climbed up again.
The wooden box was gently placed in the middle of the field, and the official slowly opened the lid and bent down as if to take something out of the box, and at this moment there was silence all around, and everyone was holding their breath to see what treasure was taken out.
I saw that the official took out a small wooden box from the wooden box, and everyone stared at the small wooden box but saw that it opened it and took out a wooden box. Seeing such trouble, many people are so anxious that they scratch their ears and cheeks.
Fortunately, after the small wooden box was opened, there was a bright thing, and the official carefully held the half-open wooden box to show everyone, Zheng Tong saw that the onlookers were puzzled and said loudly: "This is the Western Regions Strange Treasure Glass Mirror!" ”
A gust of wind blew through the audience, and there was no noise as he expected, and the onlookers all looked at each other, they didn't understand what the Western Regions Strange Treasure Glass Mirror was: the words Western Regions, Strange Treasure, Colored Glass, and Mirror were understandable, but they really couldn't understand when connected.
What is this thing? Can I eat it? Is it delicious? How to eat?
Unlike these lonely and unheard people, several shopkeepers saw that thing and heard Zheng Tong say this, and they were all excited, and they almost got up and rushed forward to take a look: This is a glass mirror that was sold in Jiangnan and sold for thousands of dollars!
"This is a glass mirror that was sold in Jiangnan!" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted. Seeing that the people around him were looking at him, he spat and told the origin of this 'Western Regions Strange Treasure Glass Mirror' in the most concise words.
"It is said that this glass mirror was made by monks in the Western Regions, and it takes a monk in the Mahayana period to master the secret art of gathering the aura of heaven and earth to make it."
"This treasure can illuminate people without revealing anything, if there is a person who has cultivated in the infancy stage, he can use this treasure to cultivate to the stage of transforming into a god."
"This baby mirror has been bought in Chang'an and Jiankang, and it is not enough to buy it with money!"
There were unknown 'enthusiasts' everywhere in the crowd who were introducing the origin of this glass mirror to the surrounding people who did not know the truth, and when they heard this, everyone was in an uproar and rushed forward to be the first to see this treasure that could be sold for ten thousand yuan.
What is the Mahayana period, the Yuan infant period, and the incarnation period, they don't understand, but they can understand that this treasure can be sold for ten thousand times, and the nobles of Chang'an and Jiankang may not be able to buy it even if they have money, this treasure has to be seen with their own eyes!
"Don't squeeze, don't go any further!" Laihu'er shouted vigorously, and he and his comrades sweated profusely and spread their arms against the desperate people who were rushing forward to prevent the other party from rushing into the middle of the door.
Today, Yuwen commanded the army, no, it was Yuwen who mobilized the soldiers of the new army into the city and said that it was to 'maintain stability', he led a hundred people in the team to form a human wall to prevent anyone from impacting, and the people who originally looked at these thin arms and legs were quite disapproving, but now they can't fight, let alone 'draw knives and cut indiscriminately', Laihu'er cried out in his heart: Where did these guys get so much strength!
At that moment, the defense line formed by him and his subordinates was hit by the surging crowd, and he was about to be unable to hold on! (To be continued.) )
