Chapter 476: Completely Eradicate Banditry
Chen Dingwei said: "That's right, the treasure must be that flower pot." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
After speaking, he picked up the flower pot from the willow basket. This pot is made of porcelain, and if it is fired in an imperial kiln, it will be worth a lot of money. The utensils fired in the official kiln have inscriptions, so Chen Dingwei picked up the porcelain basin and looked at the bottom, but the bottom of the basin was bare, and there was nothing. Chen Dingwei thought to himself, could it be that the inscription is engraved in the basin? So he poured out the soil in the pot, and sure enough, he saw a few words in it, and it seemed that it was genuine.
Chen Dingwei picked up the basin and was about to leave, when He San said next to him: "Leader, I feel that we are still fooled." ”
Chen Dingwei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked the reason, He San pointed to the back of the middle-aged man who was far away and said: "Look, the willow basket is used to hold flower pots, and now the flower pots have been taken away by us, what is the middle-aged man still carrying the broken basket back to the county office?" ”
When Chen Dingwei heard this, he slapped his head, and hurriedly caught up with the middle-aged man and said: "No matter how tricky you are, you can't escape my eyes, quickly bring the willow basket!" ”
The middle-aged man was stunned, and asked in disbelief: "How does Leader Chen know that this willow basket is a treasure?" ”
Chen Dingwei sneered: "As the so-called hundred secrets are sparse, you bring a useless broken basket back to the county office, isn't it not a self-confession?" ”
The middle-aged man sighed when he heard this: "Leader Chen is really clever. To tell you the truth, this willow basket is called the Golden Silk Willow Basket, and the county magistrate thought that the most broken thing was the safest, but he didn't expect it to be recognized. ”
Chen Dingwei took the willow basket and looked at it carefully, thinking that as the name suggests, the treasure was named this one, and it must have been mixed with gold wire by the craftsman when weaving the basket. Such a large basket, of course, has many gold wires in it, which must be very precious.
At this time, the sun was already in the west, Chen Dingwei laughed, took the treasure, and rode straight to the county office.
At this time, Qucheng County was crowded with people, and Zhang Baoer had already informed the whole city of his bet with Chen Dingwei, and the people came to see the excitement.
Not long after, Chen Dingwei arrived, he came to Zhang Bao'er with a willow basket, and said loudly: "Zhang County Order, the people you sent have been stopped by me, the treasure is now in my hands, and your words can be counted." ”
The onlookers were stunned when they heard this, what kind of treasure is a broken willow basket?
Zhang Baoer said: "A gentleman's word, it is difficult to chase a horse, of course this county order will not go back, but what you are holding in your hand is not a treasure." ”
Chen Dingwei was stunned and said, "Do you want to deny it?" The middle-aged man had told me that this basket was called a golden silk willow basket, and that it must be mixed with gold wire. ”
Zhang Baoer said with a smile: "Whether there is gold wire or not, you will know the truth after a try." ”
After speaking, Zhang Baoer called a catcher, asked him to bring a fire fold, and lit the willow basket.
In a short time the basket burned out, and there was no gold to be seen on the ground except for a pile of ashes.
Chen Dingwei was taken aback: "Could it be that I was deceived by him?" ”
Zhang Bao'er shook his head and said: "He didn't tell a lie, this basket is woven with a kind of wicker called golden silk willow, so it is called this name, but this kind of wicker is not valuable." ”
Chen Dingwei was stunned and said blankly: "What is that treasure?" ”
Zhang Bao'er shook her head and said, "I can tell you that banyan trees, He Shou Wu, flower pots, and willow baskets are all ordinary things. ”
Chen Dingwei said: "But there are only these things in the luggage, didn't you say that the treasure is in the luggage, and I can see it with my own eyes?" ”
Zhang Bao'er said: "That's right, the treasure is not only seen by your own eyes, but also discarded by your own hands. ”
After speaking, Zhang Bao'er turned around and shouted to the yamen: "Song Langzhong, bring the treasures." ”
A person walked out of it in response, and Chen Dingwei saw that Song Langzhong was the middle-aged man.
At this time, Song Langzhong was holding a bag in his hand, and after the bag was released, Chen Dingwei couldn't wait to take a look at it, and it was actually a bag of dirt inside!
Chen Dingwei lost his voice and shouted: "Could it be that the treasure is actually the soil in the flower pot?" ”
Zhang Bao'er nodded and said: "This is not ordinary soil, it is seabed mud, which is very precious because of the difficulty of collection." I specially sent someone to the Fulong Island by the sea to collect it, and it was specially prepared for you! ”
Chen Dingwei was stunned and said unconvinced: "What about the difficulty of collection? Don't make up nonsense that it was collected for me, I don't believe that this clay is of any good use, and that it is a treasure, and I don't admit it. ”
Zhang Bao'er sighed and said, "Let me ask you, do you have an old mother who is seriously ill at home?" ”
Chen Dingwei nodded after hearing this: "Yes, my mother is infected with ringworm and scabies, and she can't be cured by looking for doctors and medicines everywhere, and she is in pain all day long." ”
Zhang Bao'er stared at Chen Dingwei and said: "The submarine mud is useful for this disease, you take it back and apply it to your mother, and it will be cured soon." ”
Chen Dingwei listened to it and was skeptical.
Zhang Baoer pointed at Song Langzhong and said: "This is Song Langzhong's prescription for your mother, I specially sent someone to the beach to get it for you, you can see if you can try it, Leader Chen don't let down my kindness!" ”
After a long while, Chen Dingwei said: "Okay, if my mother's illness can be cured, I will definitely come back to the case, whether it is murder or chopping, listen to it!" ”
After speaking, Chen Dingwei picked up the bag of dirt on the ground and left.
The surrounding catchers rushed up, but Zhang Baoer waved his hand to make them retreat.
Chen Dingwei took the seabed mud back to the mountain and put it on his mother, and sure enough, it was only a dozen days, and his mother's body was no longer itchy.
Chen's mother asked Chen Dingwei where he found the soil, and Chen Dingwei told him the ins and outs of the bet.
After hearing this, Chen's mother said: "It's rare that Zhang County is kind-hearted, son, you better go down the mountain and surrender." ”
Chen Dingwei nodded, dismissed the brothers on Shiren Mountain the next day, and went straight to the county office.
Chen Dingwei was recruited, and the three largest bandits in Qucheng fell apart one after another, shocking the bandits from all walks of life, and in just half a month, the rest of the small bandits moved when they heard the news, and either fled from Qucheng or surrendered to the county government.
The bandits who have harmed Qucheng for many years were finally eradicated by Zhang Baoer in one fell swoop. The people of Qucheng cheered and rushed to tell each other, just like the New Year.
……
These days, Bai Shunduan is very uncomfortable.
The investigation of the county government deficit was regarded as a great effort, but it did not receive any praise.
On the contrary, Song Jiacheng, who made Bai Shunduan look down on him, became the county government lord because of this, which made Bai Shunduan have a lot of complaints about Zhang Baoer.
Just after the New Year, Bai Shunduan made an inventory again as usual, but he found that the warehouse was missing a hundred hundreds. Bai Shunduan carefully checked it twice, and it was true, but there was no Baihu.
Zhang Baoer had just forcibly paid the deficit of the county treasury by thunderous means, and for this reason, Cheng Qingquan's officials were dismissed and many people were dismissed. This matter has just subsided, but there is a problem with the grain depot in charge of Bai Shunduan, if Zhang Baoer knows that it will be investigated, how should he explain it?
Thinking of this, Bai Shunduan's legs weakened and he sat on the ground.
