Chapter 36: A New Part-Time Job
"Today I will continue to talk about the Di Gong case." , Seeing that the people were almost here, there was a snap, and Li Chen slapped the wood in his hand and spoke.
"What is the Di Gong case telling you today? Let's come to a strange case of copper coins turning into soil embryos. It is said that every household in the Jiangnan area has a major urn. The big ones were five feet high and the top three feet wide. The smaller ones are more than three feet tall.'
"How much does the urn weigh?" The big ones are two or three hundred catties, and the small ones are more than 100 catties. What to put in it? And there were all kinds of things, some of them for grain, some for water, and some for miscellaneous goods, and some of them were buried outside the house, and two planks were put on them for a pit."
"This urn has many benefits, waterproof, moisture-proof and rat-proof, every family can't do without him... Di Gong is serving as the governor of Jiangnan this time, and he is going to Fuzhou County, where Jiangnan is sucking the road." After talking for a long time, his mouth was dry, Li Chen picked up the wine in front of the table, and squeaked and took a sip.
"Fuzhou Thorn Shi originally thought that his merits were good, and he hoped that Di Gong would be able to say a few good words and be able to reach the heavens. However, when Di Gong found out about the case, Fuzhou Assassin Shi ordered a county to dismiss him from his post and put him in prison because of an urn of copper coins, and he expressed doubts and worries, so he took over the matter.
"This matter is the case of two villagers, the brothers Mu Guang and Mu Qi, who found an urn of copper coins." Speaking of this, Li Chen was shocked, "Rank as an official, an urn of copper coins." The two brothers were more sincere, and when they were digging the ground, they found an urn that was , because the matter was big, and they reported to the county order, and the county order wrote a letter to Shangguan to check together. Do you know what happened'
"Wow." , the audience was unhappy, "Li Tongjin Ah Li Tongjin." If you don't sell well at this level, everyone knows that the copper money has turned into an embryo." , Li Tongjin is the name that Li Chen got when he told the story, taking the meaning of Bogu Tongjin.
Li Chen was behind the table, holding a fan in his hand, shaking it, smiling so much that he didn't speak, and he actually recalled it in his heart.
He remembers when he was in middle school, when there were no books to read. Since elementary school, he has actually wanted to read some books. When I was in middle school, there was a small book sold in a nearby bookstore, and the contents were, Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness, Bao Gong Case, Xue Pinggui's Expedition to the East, and Xue Rengui's Expedition to the West.
This book, poor paper, bad printing, and of course cheap. But he just liked it, because there were no books to read.
He didn't just read books, he started telling books at that time. To whom? Said to the adjacent table to listen, don't get me wrong, at that time men and women were in separate classes, the adjacent table was also male, the class was boring, the adjacent table asked him to tell a story, tell a story to listen, he was also very happy that someone could share, the two of them took advantage of the teacher's inattention, one said, one listened.
As a result, I didn't expect that in the Tang Dynasty, he started this career again, storytelling..., is it really fate, he should be telling the life of books.
"Rank and file, this urn full of copper coins, why is it gone. I saw that the county order brought a large urn with an ox cart, this urn was four feet high, and the top was two feet wide, and from the mouth of the urn you could see that the urn was full of copper coins. The copper coins were stained with urn soil and rust.'"
"Who knows, when Fuzhou Thorn Shi happily accompanied the county order to inspect, as soon as this urn fell, there was a soil embryo left inside. This urn has only a layer of copper coins on the top, and it is full of clay embryos on the bottom.'"
"....... Qianluo, this Di Gong listened to the report of the assassination, his face was serious, and he began to think in his heart. How can this Kaiyuan Tongbao not be seen. If the county order is to be swallowed privately, why should it be reported?'
『… Di Gong was aware of everything, and found a suspicious point, what is the suspicion? We'll break it down next time." , Watching movies, novels, TV, these things, what do you hate the most, and the next time you break down and decide, you can rank in the top three. As soon as Li Chen's words came out, a group of officials directly slapped the table and scolded his mother.
"What to do, what to do, after talking for so long, my mouth is dry, I don't give you a break." , Li Chen didn't shake off, got up and moved first, waited for the doctor to bring his wine and food, had a good meal, and then walked to the back of the electric house, making it clear that he wanted to rest.
The storyteller had to rest, and the listeners began to discuss what doubts they had found. After this discussion, there was a saying, saying that the excitement was exciting, the mouth was foaming, and even the wine shop business was better.
"Thirteen Lang, it's been hard work, and today's Di Gong case is still as wonderful as ever." , walked to the back hall, and the owner of the wine shop came to talk. Li Chen took the tea delivered by the shopkeeper and drank it, "It's good if everyone likes it."
Li Chen will start to tell stories, because a few days ago, he brought Fan to the store. While eating, he told Fan a story. The results were heard by the customers in the store. Li Chen was interested for a while, so he started a lecture in the store, and talked about the Di Gong case.
As a result, in order to hear the story, there were more people in the restaurant, and business improved. The owner of the wine store simply invited him to stay in the store, and the price was that every time Li Chen came to the store, all the orders were free. Li Chen thought about it, this is fine, he often comes here to drink wine and eat meat, but as a result, all the money is lost here, and every time the order is free, it just happens that this money can be saved. So, after Li Chen came to the Tang Dynasty, his second career began.
It seems that no matter what era it is, the stories of clean officials clearing up grievances and punishing corrupt officials are very popular among the people. Everyone knows Bao Gong, and the Bao Gong case has been sung for a hundred years. It is because those people like to hear about it, and they always hope to meet a grievance and a blue sky in themselves. The Tang Dynasty is no exception, a mandarin mandarin post, the phoenix symbolizes the fair and honest sky.
Historically, in addition to Bao Gong, the more famous Qing officials in the Qing Dynasty had Shi Gong, who was talking about Shi Shilun, the son of Shi Yande. Although he is lame, he is a good official, and there will be a case of Shi Gong in the future.
In the Tang Dynasty, where there was no Bao Gong and no Shi Gong, the Qing officials looked at Di Gong. Di Gong is Di Renjie, everyone knows it. Then the Celestial Empire was named after the Celestial Empire, and it was famous for judging cases like gods.
"Di Gong found a little doubt, what doubt? This Kaiyuan Tongbao weighs two plants and four tired. Ten pieces weigh one tael. A thousand pieces weigh six pounds and four taels. How many copper coins are there?'
As an aside, this Kaiyuan Tongbao is a martial arts four-year, issued by Tang Gaozu, but not issued during the Kaiyuan period, don't scold Li Chen for being confused, Di Renjie is obviously a person from Wu Zetian, how can there be a copper coin in the Kaiyuan period of Xuanzong.
"Di Gong borrowed the same money from the treasury and filled this urn. As a result, it was fully loaded with 50,000 pieces, 320 catties. With the addition of the urn, it weighs a total of four hundred catties. These 400 catties, how can the two brothers carry five miles to the county office? …』
"Okay, it's worthy of Di Gong, I really know everything, I didn't expect that if this urn was all copper coins, how heavy it would be. When the great white floats.'" , a man grabbed the cup and poured it.
"It's worthy of Di Gong, this case is really well tried. Like the previous case of breaking into a new house, this has brought out the truth to Duke Di." , said another person at his table. For example, Di Renjie is not known for his incorruptibility, but is more famous for his judgment of cases like a god
Everyone knows that there are few detective novels in China. At least in Li Chen's memory, he has never read it, and he doesn't remember any detective novels in China.
It's just that Li Chen now finds that these stories of Qing officials trying cases are not so much about redressing grievances as about the Chinese version of detective novels.
Bao Gong's case, somewhat still a bit of fantasy, Bao Gong judges the yang during the day and the yin at night, it is said that he also has a sleepwalking pillow, sleeping on the pillow can be out of the body, and the case will be judged in the underworld.
And the case of Di Gong and Shi Gong is almost the Chinese version of a detective novel. Although I don't do any secret room killing, I don't do any serial killers. However, judging from the content, it is all about peeling back the cocoon and clarifying the facts of the case. Isn't it a bit similar to a detective novel..., except that these detectives are also judges. But it is entirely possible to regard them as characteristic of Chinese detective novels.
"Lee, let's talk about two more paragraphs. It's not fun to do these two things every time.'" Li Chen was full of wine and food at this time, and he was about to go out of the wine shop. Wen Yan waved his hand, "Next time, next time." It's okay to say two more paragraphs, and use more wine and food.'"
Speak, this is the name of those storytellers in the Tang Dynasty, so they are called by profession, called Li Chen, and Li speaks. In fact, Li Chen is not professional, he is really professional to speak, and he will cooperate with the musicians, saying that there will be a soundtrack when the climax is exciting. However, Li Chen is better than him in that he has thousands of years of articles to sell, but it is not comparable to the speakers of the Tang Dynasty who only talk about some legends and change texts at present.
"Lee, it's going to be Uran Day in a short time, and you're going to have a new text." "Besides, I don't know if I'll go." , Li Chen waved his hand and went out, he went to find Fande, and it was time to come back. It's just that when he passed through a junction, his footsteps turned in another direction.
"I remember, the last time I saw that house, it was like... That's right, here's the world.'" , Li Chen remembered the last time he saw that family, and this time he passed by again, so he turned around to take a look.
"Aye, Aye, stay with Bao'er." , Before the family fell, Li Chen heard a milky cry. Li Chen leaned over to take a look, and saw that the lady who had to repay the loan last time was holding a baby who was about three or four years old in her arms, Li Chen was not sure how old she was, anyway, she was not too young and could speak.
At this moment, this baby, one of the people who is pulling has an arm, probably his father, "Are you going to do business again?" , Li Chen thought so.
At this time, the father whispered something to the child, and finally coaxed the child to let go, turned around, and Li Chen hurriedly hid aside.
(Who is that person, how do I seem to have seen it, is it an acquaintance?) But I don't remember any merchant acquaintances. The most familiar is the owner of the wine shop, but the man is not like Ah. When the man turned around and stretched out, he was still covering his head with a hat, but just like that, Li Chen felt so strong that he saw it.
Li Chen knew that the so-called sense of déjà vu was not that he had any special functions, but that déjà vu was actually a memory that he had forgotten, or like the current situation, he had seen this person, but he just didn't remember it for a while.
In this way, Li Chen was in no mood anymore, and turned to the direction of Fanjiade with doubts.
