Chapter 4 The Prince's World is Unparalleled
Walking in the crowd, Chen Xiu, who did not feel the danger at all, walked step by step in the blue sky and white clouds, stepping on this old place, and it was inevitable that he would feel emotion in his heart.
Just as Chen Xiu was appreciating the local customs and customs, suddenly there was a noise in front of him, which attracted Chen Xiu's attention, and then he involuntarily trotted up.
Looking inside, it turned out that it was two big men arguing constantly, and when I was curious, I asked the people around me, and I learned the reason when I asked.
It turned out that one of the two lost his money bag and was picked up by the other person, but there was no evidence, and no one could help anyone, which was originally a small matter, but the more people gathered, the local county was finally alarmed.
This county man is also a capable person, named Xun is a single name and a Huo, which is a branch of the Xun family, but he is known to be virtuous in Yingyin, and he has quieted down many people, even although the two people who quarreled blew their beards and stared, they finally stopped.
Those who can become officials must have a good reputation in the local area, which is related to the contemporary talent recommendation system.
The system of selecting talents in China has been different in successive dynasties. The Han Dynasty implemented a probationary system. The Western Han Dynasty was prosperous in recommending virtuous and virtuous, and the Eastern Han Dynasty was prosperous in recommending filial piety and honesty. After being "asked" by the emperor, the recommended officials were awarded officials according to their ranks. By the end of the Han Dynasty, its disadvantages became more and more obvious: "Show talent, don't know books; Cha Xiaolian, his father does not live. "The recommended talent doesn't know how to read; The recommended filial son did not live with his father.
However, this Xun Xiancheng is really capable, he looked at the expressions of the two of them a little, and he already had a bottom in his heart, knowing who was lying and whose money bag was, but he couldn't give conclusive evidence to convince the person who committed the crime, because everything has to tell the evidence, if it is speculation, even if the result is right, I am afraid that in Shilin, he will also fall into the reputation of a confused official, which is extremely unfavorable to his future career.
For a while, Xun Xiancheng was in a dilemma, and at this time, Xun Xiancheng suddenly raised his head, and when he saw a person in the crowd, he was happy in his heart, and then he wanted to speak, but when he saw this person shaking his head, Xun Xiancheng suddenly understood this person's thoughts, so he consumed it first.
"Master Xun, whose money bag is it, you should give an answer!"
"Yes! Lord Xun, hurry up and give an answer, don't let this guy snatch my money bag! ”
"Humph! You still dare to say that if you hadn't taken my money bag, I would still be here to confront you now! Now Lord Xun is here, see how your guy ends! ”
"Hmph, whoever has a ghost in his heart, who knows!"
These two people come and go, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, for a while, the onlookers are also confused, and they are all thinking in their hearts, whose money bag is it, after all, these two people are speaking with confidence! I really can't tell whose money bag it is.
The more these two people quarreled, the more Xun Xiancheng woke up in his heart, like a mirror, who lied, who didn't lie, he knew it very well, but the evidence was not, and it was really bitter for him.
Immediately, he turned his gaze to the man hiding in the crowd and wanted him to remind him of a thing or two.
Seeing this, the young man in the crowd knew that it was almost over, and he was about to cross the crowd and come to Xun Xiancheng, but at this time, there was a burst of laughter in the crowd, but he stopped the footsteps he originally wanted to take, and then looked at the crowd with some curiosity, he wanted to see who laughed at this laughter.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on a young man in cloth clothes and plain clothes in the crowd.
Chen Xiu felt a little embarrassed, as for it, he just laughed twice, as for that, but in his opinion, it was indeed quite funny.
"Why is the boy laughing?"
Xun Xiancheng smiled slightly, looking at Chen Xiudao with a kind face, he was also glad in his heart that this young man smiled in time, this smile made the fierce atmosphere just now laugh.
The county asked questions, not to mention that there were so many people looking at him, Chen Xiu didn't have any panic in his heart, he looked at the clothes of the two, one was clean, and the other had some oil stains on his clothes, but he was so moved in his heart that he had some ideas, and then said: "If you go back to the county Cheng, the grass people think that who is right and who is wrong in this matter, and who took whose money bag, this is not an obvious thing." ”
"Oh, don't talk big, young man."
Hearing this, Xun Xiancheng looked at Chen Xiu with interest, not only him, but many people in the crowd looked at him curiously, and even the two people who were arguing looked at him curiously.
This money bag does not have a name, and there is no special mark, how to tell whose money it is.
"Don't dare to deceive adults!"
Chen Xiu respectfully hugged his hand, lowered his head slightly, and said confidently.
Listening to the confidence in Chen Xiu's tone, Xun Xiancheng had some appreciation in his heart, at this time, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and when he saw the person in the crowd nodded slightly, his heart suddenly moved, and he came to promise: "Eh, since this is the case, I will leave this matter to you!" If it is tried, the official will be rewarded! ”
"No!"
Hearing this, Chen Wencheng was overjoyed, and then he crossed the crowd, came to the two big men, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you ever opened this money bag!" ”
"None!"
"None!"
The two of them replied in unison, which made Chen Wencheng feel certain, but he still had to confirm it again and again, what if he regretted it?
"Not really!"
"Hmph, young man, what are you talking about, the Sprinkle family said that nothing is nothing, do you want to deceive you, a young man!"
"Hmph, this guy is disgusting all over his body, it's all true, the young man and I are also a spit and a nail when we speak, and that is not a reason."
"Well, since that's the case, I'm relieved, Lord County, and ask someone to boil a pot of boiling water, and you can know whether it's true or false when you boil it!"
"Oh? In that case, come on! Go and bring a pot of boiling water! ”
Xun Xiancheng looked at Chen Xiu with a calm expression with interest, and his heart was even more satisfied, he gave this order, and his people immediately operated, and it was better that there was a family boiling hot water not far away, and it happened to be burned, so he was brought over by the officials.
"My lord, the water is coming!"
"Uh, you can step down!"
Subsequently, the official retreated behind Xun County, his eyes were also full of curiosity, he wanted to see what a pot of water could do.
His idea was the idea of most people in the crowd, but one person in the crowd watched this scene thoughtfully.
After borrowing a clay pot, he poured hot water into it, and when he opened the money bag that the two were fighting for, the five-baht coins fell down one by one.
PS: I'm sorry for the mistake in the previous name.
At first, I thought of the name Wencheng, because I felt that the literati learned and the inheritors inherited the past and the future, which meant the inheritance of culture, but then I thought about it, the meaning of the double word is not good, so it was changed to repair the word!
Repair! The meaning of cultivating the country and leveling the world!
