Chapter 124: Trick Corrupt Officials

After Liang Shiyuan told six or seven interesting anecdotes about horse bites and being tricked by others, he just wanted to talk about the eighth thing about playing tricks on Xinzhi County. But when I thought that Zhang Cambodia was also a new county that had just arrived, I was worried about throwing rats, so I wanted to stop talking.

Zhang Cambodia was listening attentively, and saw that Liang Shiyuan wanted to talk and stopped, but for some reason, he pretended to joke: "Ha! Ha! Unexpectedly, Liang Shiyuan, who was known for his mouth like a river in the past, was the first speaker in the world, and today there is also a time to stop when he is tired. ”

Liang Shiyuan looked at Zhang Cambodia: "No! The foolish brother wanted to talk about the next thing about Ma Biting Er's tricks on the new magistrate of the county, and he was afraid that things would hurt him, so he stopped it. ”

Zhang Cambodia's way: "Brother Xian said so, you and I are people who have experienced the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, the ups and downs, what else can't be said?" After Zhang Cambodia finished speaking, he got up and walked a few steps towards Liang Shiyuan, "Since it is a matter of playing tricks on the new magistrate, the old man has to listen to it." ”

Liang Shiyuan heard Zhang Cambodia say this, and his worries suddenly disappeared, "The prime minister is worthy of being the prime minister, and the prime minister is good in his belly!" It seems that the foolish brother has the heart of a villain and spends the belly of the prime minister. "Laughing.

Liang Shiyuan laughed and began to talk about the two horses to make fun of Xinzhi County:

The horse bites two twists, famous far and wide, women and children know it, but no one can beat him. Even the magistrate was afraid of him, and the newly appointed magistrates had to visit him in person, send some silver taels, make friends with him, and stammer, so that everyone could be happy.

One year, a Xinzhi County came, a corrupt official who plucked the feathers of geese. He believed that he had talent, and he didn't take Ma Biter in his eyes at all. Seeing that the magistrate looked down on him, Ma Biting decided to make fun of him and pluck a few tiger whiskers to let him know his interests.

One night, Ma Yaner found a helper, gave some silver taels, and asked the helper to wrap a bag of fresh cow dung in paper and secretly put it in the county government at night. Early the next morning, Ma Yaner wrote a pleading, asking the county magistrate to try the case.

The magistrate opened the pleadings and saw that it read: At thirteen o'clock last night, the door was closed, the ploughing cattle disappeared, and they begged to catch the cattle thieves.

The magistrate saw that "thirteen o'clock last night" was not very accurate, so he said to Ma Yaner: "Liang Er, you lost the cow at one o'clock last night, right?" ”

Ma Biter said, "Yes, yes! As you said, it was at one o'clock last night that the cow was lost. How do you know it's one o'clock, sir? You must have caught the cattle thief. ”

The magistrate said no. Ma Biter said, "Then how can you be sure that you lost the cow at one o'clock?" There must be something strange among them, maybe it was your county master who stole my cow! Or you would know so well! ”

The two of you said a word, and I quarreled a word. Seeing that he was so arrogant, the magistrate asked him what real evidence he had, and Ma Biter pulled the magistrate to look for cattle inside and outside the county office. In the backyard of the county office, a pile of fresh cow dung was found.

Ma Biter then said loudly: "The county government is a clean place, where does cow come from?" It is clearly the evidence that the county stole cattle and left behind! ”

In order not to make a big deal and affect the prestige of the official, the magistrate had no choice but to "eat Coptis chinensis dumb", and paid the cow money to Ma Biter in vain, but the matter was confused.

At the end of each year, he always holds a special abacus, shakes his head and comes to the county to find the county magistrate to settle accounts. Since the magistrate suffered that loss, he was afraid of causing trouble again, so when he saw the horse biting the second time, he had to give him silver and hurriedly send him away.

One year, Ma Yanji suddenly disappeared, and the family was very anxious, because the whole family depended on him to earn money to sustain themselves. After he left, his family naturally lived a very hard life.

It's almost the New Year, Ma Yaner suddenly came back, and the family was naturally very happy, thinking: This year is finally rich for the New Year. But I didn't expect that Ma Biter was empty-handed, and he came back without a penny of silver, how could he have money for the New Year?

The people of his family sighed for the sigh. On the evening of the 29th of the year, Ma Yaner said to his family: "I'll go and carry some rice back." With that, he went out.

It turned out that Ma Yaner was fortunate to meet an immortal during his disappearance for most of the year, and the immortal was very sympathetic to his plight, so he taught him some spells and told him to benefit the people. Towards the end of his life, he wanted to get some rice to distribute to the poor villagers in the village. Yu left, and he came to the new county official's house. He recited a few incantations, and the stove in the new county magistrate's kitchen immediately flipped over, head to tail.

The cook was anxious about the sudden flipping of the stove, when Ma Biter came in and said, "I can turn the stove over, but on one condition, I will give me two bags of rice." ”

When the cook saw that he didn't seem to be telling jokes, he reported to the new county magistrate. The new county official walked to the kitchen in a hurry, saw that it was Ma Biter, and thought to himself, what is he capable of. With a roll of his eyes, he thought: It's better to let him try, even if he can flip the stove, let him carry the two bags of 300 catties of rice, and if he can't carry it, he won't give it to him.

So, the new county official said with a smile: "Ma Biter, I promise your conditions, but if you can't flip, you will work with me for three months, how about it?" ”

Ma Biter nodded in agreement. So he recited a few incantations, and sure enough, the stove turned over. The new county magistrate had nothing to say, so he had to take the horse to the rice warehouse, pointed to the two big bags of rice and said, "Carry it away, don't blame me if you can't carry it." ”

Ma Yaner smiled, approached the two bags of rice, grabbed one bag in one hand, lifted it hard, and the two bags of rice rose casually, and walked away with a smile. The new county magistrate was stunned. Seeing Ma biting two handfuls of rice and taking it away, his heart hurt so much that he had to admit that he was unlucky.

The horse bites two handfuls of rice and takes it home, leaving some behind. The rest was distributed among the villagers. Soon, his family ran out of rice. So he found a blank piece of paper, drew a man on it, stuck six needles in the man's mouth, pointed the man at the house of the new magistrate, and recited a few incantations.

On that day, the family of the new county magistrate did not eat. The new county magistrate was very frightened, and when he heard that Ma Biter had some way, he sent someone to invite him.

Ma Niji said, "If you fill my pocket with rice, I will feed your family." ”

Seeing that it was a small pocket, the new county official agreed: "Okay." Ma Biter said again: "If you regret it at that time, I can't help you, it's better to make a word first!" So they drew up a written covenant, and each of them put his handprints on it. Ma Biter ran home and pulled six needles into the mouth of the man drawn on the white paper. After reciting a few incantations, the family of the new county magistrate really ate again.

Ma Biter took out his pocket and called the new county official rice.

The new magistrate asked the servant to fetch some rice and pour it into his pocket. Who knows, in the blink of an eye, these rice are gone. I loaded the rice a few times, but I still couldn't fill it.

The new county magistrate had no choice but to take him to the rice warehouse and let him load it himself, but he ended up filling half a warehouse of rice before it was full. The new county magistrate was dumbfounded, but he didn't dare to stop him, so he had to watch Ma Biter leave in a big way.

Ma Biter repeatedly went against the new county officials, and the things he got were always distributed to the poor. The new county magistrate hated him so much that he came up with a poisonous scheme to harm him. But he was always unpredictable, so the new county magistrate couldn't hurt him several times. was tricked by him, and finally had to give up.
