On July 16, this day, Li Chen came back as usual in the morning, had breakfast, Li Chen, who was in a bad mood, was not in the mood to taste it again, so he had to send things into his stomach.

There are a lot of people in the hall, because many believers didn't go back yesterday at all, donated some sesame oil money, and lived here. When Li Chen thought of this, he not only shuddered, but also thought of the environment of the Cloud Hall, but fortunately he didn't live there.

It can't be said to be bad, other temples don't know, but the place where Changshou Temple is dedicated to wandering monks and pilgrims is considered clean, and Li Chen has also been there. But people are crowded, a bunch of people are crowded into a big shop, grinding your teeth in the middle of the night, snoring, and sleeping so badly that it will definitely make it difficult for you to fall asleep. If unfortunate, unfortunately, there is a fox next to it that stinks...

Li Chen's meal time was late, after breakfast, he walked to the front yard, the gong had already started here, and the people were not yet full, but people came in one after another, today is just to have fun, and there will be more people later.

Li Chen glanced at it, on the square, several artists had already occupied a good position, and the performances were still those, Li Chen was not very interested.

There are several places in the square that are enclosed by curtains, which are the locations of some people with status, and they are surrounded on three sides, and you can see the performances in the square on one side. There are not many such places, Cangfang Town is not a big place, and there are not so many nobles.

Although it is surrounded on three sides, you can see it clearly from one side, and I don't know what it is for. From that side, you can see that although there is no one yet, there is a high square table in the middle. There are three wide benches next to them.

People can sit cross-legged, otherwise take a nursery cushion and sit on their knees, and sit with their legs hanging down with their feet on the ground, otherwise one foot is cross-legged and one leg falls to the ground. So you can understand how big this big bench is. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a long low table.

Slowly, more and more people entered the temple to entertain, and in the middle of the square, the monks began to preach, and the content of the talk was the same as yesterday's Mother Rescue, all of them, but this tone... The difference between the common saying and the Buddha's saying is really not a star and a half.

"My mother told Mu Lian, "I created karma for my previous life, slaughtered pigs and sheep, never cultivated good deeds, and consulted evil all day long. Now I come here, and I can't tell what I have suffered. Pulp water has never been famous, and food has never met. All over the body, always suffering from diseases, suffering from sins day after night, and dying every day." Mother calls the lotus to come near, the lotus, the lotus.'"

The content is the same as yesterday, except that the tone and way of speaking are completely different. Yesterday, it was like hypnosis, as if I was reading a textbook in class and still couldn't speak clearly.

Today, speaking seems to be a stand-up comedy, and the monks in charge of speaking will imitate the tone and movements. Like just now, when Mulian A-Niang said well, he imitated a middle-aged woman's tone, and he would feign crying.

"I didn't think about it in the world, I was greedy and killed the pig all day long, there will be no good and evil in the world, when will I suffer from a new disaster today, hell will always grow **, and when I cook it, I will put it in the wok soup, or go up the sword mountain and the sword tree, or lie on the iron bed for a long time..."

The vulgar lecture is really much more interesting than the monk's lecture, the same content, expressed in different ways, the attraction is completely different, Li Chen listened with interest, after a while, the monk stepped down after singing, and another monk came up, Li Chen frowned, and left in disgust.

After last night's count, there was no big problem with the cloth and grain, and now the problem is the bad money. On the one hand, he didn't expect that he knew that there were a lot of bad coins and ** in ancient times, and whenever he encountered such money, the people would also accept it, but it would be converted.

A good coin is depreciated differently, and the amount of evil money that can be offset is also different. He still has this kind of knowledge. He also knew that in addition to the kind of iron made of bad money, there was also bad money that seemed to be good money.

Why do modern coins have jagged edges? To avoid wear and tear. Deliberately grind off the good money around, or make the thickness thinner, so that the copper chips are removed, and they are concentrated and recast. Copper is very valuable, and China is a country that lacks copper. Not only can you get some copper, but you can also use coins.

It's just that he has not encountered it for a long time. So I didn't think about it at all. In fact, it's not that he hasn't taken bad money, but he has taken the kind of grinded, thinner, and smaller copper coins. Every time I went to the wine shop, the boss didn't say anything, and I took it anyway. He didn't expect it at all.

What's more important is that he was framed this time, and he probably thought of the reason, and only when he was able to question it, it was possible. Usually at that time, because the money was too heavy, there would be a monk who would count the amount for him, count the amount, and as long as it matched with the IOU, he would keep the account and return the IOU.

As a result, I didn't expect to be framed like this. He didn't know who did it, he didn't know who was in charge of getting the monks, taking advantage of the flaws he didn't personally pick up, and he was up and down, or who did it.

But the only thing he is sure of is that the world can't get rid of the realization of the line on the top. Otherwise, how would she have known that there was something wrong with the ministry hall? So when he saw Wuming coming to power, he immediately turned around and left.

(What now?) Li Chen thought bitterly, the shortfall amount, the preliminary estimate is one hundred and fifty. If you count the bad money that comes out, if you count it as one to one Kaiyuan Tongbao, the amount is right. However, if one good money is worth five evil money, it will be a deficit of about 150 yuan.

If he is given a few months of time, there may be a way to raise this money. He made the few fortune plans in his hand in advance, and maybe he could earn more than 100 yuan.

But now that time is pressing, and after the Obon festival is over, the abbot will probably preside over the inventory, and by that time, he will have a big problem. The excuse of saying that he doesn't know, that he doesn't know that good money is different from bad money, is too bad.

It's like if you are an accountant and they borrow US dollars, and then use RMB to pay off their debts. You tell your boss that you don't know that RMB and US dollars are not equal, which is unreasonable.

As for the questioning, there was a problem with repaying the loan, and he didn't collect it himself, and the problem was with the bhikkhu who was in charge. This is also a completely unfounded thing, he has no evidence, how can he make the abbot believe...

(Looks like we'll have to figure out how to get some money.) How? was so distressed that Li Chen turned around and left. Because of this, he didn't see that after Wuming came to power, a monk came up and said something to him, and as a result, Wuming hurriedly stepped down and replaced another monk on the stage.

(Is it possible to run away?) Li Chen crossed his hands and thought of a way, but he had no idea at all after thinking about it for a long time. More than a hundred times, where is he going to get it? After thinking about it, I only thought that I had to run away.

(That damn you have to understand, don't touch me, otherwise yes will make your life worse than death, give you three meals a day in the Manchu Dynasty, and then you will beg the uncle to give you a good time.) Thinking that he had to run away, Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief, there was no choice but to run.

Like last Chang'an. Anyway, now that I have some experience in the bookkeeper, I can go to a new place and see if I can find a similar job, otherwise I can go to the wine store to talk.

It's just that running away like this, of course Li Chen was very unwilling, gritting his teeth in his heart and cursing that Wuming, cursing him for not dying well, cursing him to go to hell early, what did he owe him, to be a whole person like this.

At the same time, in a corner of the square, the last time Li Chen saw the old man, he still had to kneel on the ground and kowtow, and he was furious in front of him.

"Bao'er is lost, you will die, slave." You're so big that you can't afford a child.'" "The master is angry, the master is angry, the old man just went to a thatched house and asked the young master to wait outside, but as soon as the result came out, the young master was gone."

"And so it was gone. Have you ever had people look around?' "I found it, the old slave immediately asked people around, did you see the young master, and tried desperately to find it, but..." "Damn, dead dog slave, I should have fired you a long time ago." It's useless, and you can't bring a child."

"Master, it's not good." Just as one of them was kneeling and the other was standing and talking, a maid dressed as a woman rushed over.

"What's going on again?" Without you useless, the master would be fine." , the man scolded.

"Just now, I received a letter." "Who writes and what does it?" The man had a very bad premonition in his heart, "It's... The fire thief Jiang Dayuan, the letter said... Say.' "Say what?" I can't even speak well.'" "The letter says that the little master is in their hands, and they want the master to pay the ransom." The maid finished speaking in one breath, then handed the letter to the man, bowing her head in fear.

"Bastard, bastard, what do you do, you can't even look at a child. It's all a bunch of dead dog slaves.'" , The man was angry, and scolded again, if it wasn't for the extremely remote corner of the Longevity Temple, it would have been heard a long time ago.

"The master is angry, angry. The most important thing now is to bring the little master back safely.'" "Get out." As the man spoke, he didn't let go of the old slave, scolding and kicking at the same time, but the old slave didn't dare to resist, so he could only keep resisting. Then the maid hurriedly went up to persuade her, but the man didn't care, and slapped him down.

"Master, or let's go and report to the official." "Report to the officials, is it useful to report to those officials?" , probably thinking that the master was tired of beating and kicking, the old slave saw this, and cautiously made a proposal.

"When the government looks for Bao'er, I will send him to the end." What is the use of reporting to the officer? Go back first and deliver the ransom." , The old slave judged that it was right, the man was really tired, although his tone was not good, but he did not continue to beat people. At that moment, I took a few people and went home first.
