Wu Daxi said with a smile: "A-Niang, my family is rich now, sixty taels of silver!" My house has sixty taels of silver! Auntie, you can do whatever you want! ”

The mother asked, "What, didn't you meet the God of Wealth?" ”

Wu Da said honestly: "I found a stack of silver tickets. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

After that, Wu Da took out the silver ticket from his arms and handed it to Ah Niang.

Wu Da's mother has lived for such a long time, and she has never seen such a large sum of money. She thought for a moment and said, "Son, we can't ask for this money. You send it back. ”

Wu Da said inexplicably: "A-Niang, you usually don't have money, and you look forward to it every day." If you have money today, but you don't want it, you have to send it back. What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd! ”

My mother said with a serious face: "I want money, but I want money from the right source, and I don't want this thing to be gold." ”

Wu Da was a little unwilling and said: "Don't you want to marry my daughter-in-law and hold my grandson, with this silver, I will have everything." ”

The mother shook her head and said, "This kind of money can't be used to marry a daughter-in-law or raise a grandson." You think, such a large sum of money, early in the morning, fell to the ground. It must be that person who is in a hurry, maybe he used the money to save his life, that person was in a hurry and dropped the money, for him, didn't this kill him? My family swallowed up his money, what is the difference between this and murder? In the future, my family has a daughter-in-law and a grandson, which is not obtained above board, but by seeking wealth and killing people, so can our family still have a peaceful birthday? ”

Wu Da suddenly realized: "Then what should I do?" I've already spent a tael of silver. ”

The mother said, "Go back quickly, and wait for whatever you find." The man who lost the silver ticket must have been in a hurry and looked for it there. You explained the situation to him for one or two pieces of silver, and I don't think he would care about you. ”

Wu Da came to the city gate again. Sure enough, a man in his mid-forties was looking back and forth on the road.

Wu Da stepped forward and asked, "Sir, did you lose your silver ticket?" ”

The man nodded, "Did you see that?" ”

"The silver ticket is in my hand, as long as you say the right amount, I will return it to you."

The man replied, "There are sixty taels of silver, two of which are twenty taels, one of twelve taels, one of five taels, and one of three taels." ”

Wu Dayi looked at the silver ticket in his hand, which was not bad at all. It's just that the silver ticket of three taels has been exchanged for silver taels and spent one tael. And he gave the man back the silver ticket and two taels of silver.

The man didn't thank him, but turned and left.

At this time, a large group of people had gathered around to see the excitement. Some people know this person, he is the former county Cheng Qingquan who was dismissed.

Cheng Qingquan took the silver ticket and walked away, without even saying a word of thanks, the onlookers were indignant, and said gossipsily: "You can't be a man like this, you can't be like this, people kindly returned your silver ticket, and you don't mean it!" ”

Who knows, Cheng Qingquan turned around and said angrily: "What do you know? I lost a hundred taels of silver tickets, and he gave me sixty taels, and swallowed up my two silver tickets of twenty taels. ”

Cheng Qingquan didn't say this, and Wu Da left.

When he said this, it aroused the fire in Wu Da's heart.

How? I did a good deed, and I didn't ask for anything in return, and I was falsely accused by him. Isn't this bloody?

The young man stepped forward, grabbed Cheng Qingquan's collar and said, "You just said that you lost sixty taels of silver tickets, and now you have changed your words to one hundred taels."

Tomorrow, you can talk nonsense about two hundred taels or three hundred taels. I went back and sold my land, sold my mother, and I can't afford to pay you back this lion's big mouth! ”

At this time, Cheng Qingquan insisted that he had lost one hundred taels of silver tickets, and the two couldn't argue, so they came to the county government to complain.

Listening to Wu Da's introduction to the situation, Zhang Baoer probably had a bottom in his heart, and he called a catcher to Wu Da's house to learn about the situation from Wu Da's mother.

After leaving, Zhang Baoer looked at Cheng Qingquan: "What's your name and what kind of livelihood do you do?" ”

Listening to Zhang Baoer's question, Cheng Qingquan couldn't help but curse in his heart: What is my name, will you know? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost my errand with the county.

Angry is angry, Zhang Baoer's question Cheng Qingquan also had to answer, he said seriously: "My name is Cheng Qingquan, and I rely on giving ideas to others to eat!" ”

Zhang Bao'er nodded and said: "You are the owner of the lost silver ticket, you tell the truth about the loss of the silver ticket, and the county will try your case clearly." ”

Cheng Qingquan said: "Last night, Cui Yuanwai of Dongzhuang had his sixtieth birthday. I went to celebrate my birthday, it was lively, and I didn't know it until the early hours of this morning before returning to the city, I didn't wake up from the hangover, and I lost the silver ticket at the city gate, and was picked up by this country boy. He returned my silver ticket, and there was still a gap of forty taels, so they quarreled. ”

Wu Da interjected and said: "He is a bunch of nonsense, and the county order should not believe him." ”

"Let him finish his sentence first!" Zhang Bao'er waved her hand at Wu Da, and asked Cheng Qingquan again: "How many silver tickets do you have lost, and how much is the amount?" ”

"Four silver tickets of twenty taels, one for twelve taels, one for five taels, and one for three taels. It's a hundred taels in total. ”

Zhang Baoer turned her head and asked the clerk to sign and sign the transcript of Cheng Qingquan's confession.

Then Zhang Baoer asked Wu Da to tell the story of picking up the silver ticket.

Wu Dadao: "This morning, before dawn, I found a ball of paper at the gate of the city, and later, when I opened it, it was a silver ticket. It's sixty taels in total. Two taels of twenty taels, one of twelve taels, one of five taels, and one of three taels. I exchanged three taels of silver tickets, bought rice, and cut the meat to go home. My aunt insisted that I return the money to the owner. She said that such a large sum of money, whoever loses it will take someone's life, and spending such money is like killing someone for money. I figured it made sense, so I returned the money. Unexpectedly, he actually framed me for swallowing his forty taels of silver, Lord County Commander, you want to administer justice for me! ”

Zhang Baoer called the clerk and asked Wu Da to sign and sign the transcript of the confession.

At this time, the catcher who went to ask Wu's mother had already returned, and he reported in Zhang Baoer's ear.

Zhang Baoer finally closed the case and said: "Just now, I have sent someone to ask Wu Da's mother, what she said is basically the same as what Wu Da said, and what you said is the truth." What Cheng Qingquan said should also be the truth, because he knows best what he lost. Both of you are telling the truth, although the face of the silver ticket is the same, this is just a coincidence, the key is that the number of silver tickets is different, Wu Da found five, and Cheng Qingquan lost seven. The silver tickets that Wu Da picked up were in a group, and it was impossible for someone to pick up two silver tickets and only draw two of them, and then throw them on the road. Therefore, there is only one conclusion: the silver ticket that Wu Da picked up was not the silver ticket lost by Cheng Qingquan, but the silver ticket of the ownerless. Ownerless bills should be collected into the treasury. However, the official noticed that Wu Da's mother, who lived in a very poor life, was unmoved in the face of huge sums of money, thinking of the pain and misfortune of others. Such a mother is a virtuous, virtuous, and loving person. It deserves to be commended by the government. The prefectural decree decided to award all these silver tickets to her. As for Cheng Qingquan, your silver ticket hasn't been found yet. Our government will cooperate with you to find it, and once we find it, we will notify you to collect it. And so the case was closed. ”
