**A moment is worth a thousand gold, the flowers have a fragrance and the moon has a shade.

The sound of the pavilion is thin, and the swing courtyard is heavy at night.

Liu Ming and Xing'er, **, burned and burned. The love is deep, you and me, men and women love each other, as if they were one person. Three days and three nights, in pairs, morning and dusk depend on each other, so sweet.

Mu Shao's love for Ai, the joy of children's love is the greatest joy in the world. However, Liu Ming's heart couldn't settle down.

Although he also wanted to forget all his worries and continue to stay with Xing'er, he knew that there were some things that were imminent and needed to be done immediately......

……

In the early morning, the first rays of morning light lifted the clouds and shone on this county town in the south of Qingzhou.

On the street, the sound of iron plate knocking echoed in the streets and alleys, "The weather is dry, the morning light is slight, the morning is cold, and the morning and evening are cold, so you need to prepare a jacket ......"

It wasn't long before the streets were bustling with activity, and the coolie porters on the docks, dressed in short suits, walked sleepily, occasionally attracted by the smell of the streetside oil cake shop.

The pawn dealer who drives the life pushes the cart and carries the burden. Women stroll towards the market with baskets of vegetables.

At this time, the center of the street became lively, and the crowd surrounded the inner three floors and the outer three floors, as if they were watching something lively.

In the center of the crowd, two people tugged at each other's clothes, and the sound of argument was endless.

"Zhang San, you are not authentic. Instead of selling pork, he went to my vegetable shop and took my two copper coins. The tall man in the shirt said.

It was a man in a long shirt who was grabbed and said confidently: "Nonsense. I, Zhang San, am a person with a reputation for merit, and I am about to participate in the exam, how could I do such a thing of stealing chickens and dogs at this juncture. Li Si, I know that you usually don't like me, but you can't slander me. These two copper coins were originally mine. ”

The two argued endlessly, each arguing about their own words.

The people next to him were surrounded by water, all vying to see the excitement.

Zhang San and Li Si have been fighting for these two copper coins for an hour, and they are a little tired, but there is no result. The person next to him is also an idea in the east and an idea in the west. This one said that it was necessary to beat the drum for customs declaration, and the other said that it was not worth it for such a small amount of money to declare customs. Someone else suggested that one and a half should be used, but neither party would do it.

In a state of anxiety, someone shouted loudly: "Whose copper coin it is, you will know it at a glance." ”

When the crowd heard this, they all got out of the way and gave it to the loud man, but they saw a young man with a long and thin figure, holding a folding fan, wearing a scribe's scarf, his face was like a crown of jade, his nose was like a gall, and his narrow eyes were like gurgling spring water, and he was as warm as a spring breeze.

Someone shouted, "The young master of the Liu family is here." ”

"He is the young master of the Liu family." Someone sighed.

"How did you know the young master of the Liu family?"

"I deliver food to their house every day, how can I not know?"

Many vendors who deliver vegetables and oil to Liufu are proud to share this information with their surroundings as if they had discovered a rare treasure.

Nodding to the onlookers, Liu Ming slowly came to the front of the two arguing and asked, "Both of you say that you are the owner of this copper coin?" ”

Zhang San and Li Si didn't care when they saw that Liu Ming was weak and young, but when they saw the people around them, they kept looking at them with admiration.

"Yes. Boy, do you have a solution? The two asked.

Liu Ming laughed secretly in his heart, when he was in the fifth grade, he was whipped by the teacher, and he memorized the text about this story very well. Unexpectedly, I really ran into these two archetypal characters by myself.

"Here, get a bucket of hot water." Liu Ming commanded.

"What are you doing with hot water?"

"If you want to fight, you can fight."

After a while, a guy from a restaurant next to him came running over with a bucket of hot water.

Liu Ming looked at the hot water in the wooden barrel, looked up at the two parties and said, "Two, it's still too late to tell the truth, don't make a fool of yourself when the time comes, and be generous." ”

After saying this, one of the two suddenly looked a little trembling and hesitating, and this was seen by Liu Ming.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Liu Ming said it again.

Neither of them spoke.

"Okay." Liu Ming rolled up his sleeves, took out a few of the two copper coins that the two were arguing about, and put them into the water. Squatted down and looked into the bucket.

"Little master, what are you looking at?" Someone next to him asked.

Liu Ming squinted his eyes slightly, "

Below...... It is the time to witness the miracle. ”

It didn't take long for yellow oil flowers to emerge from the water surface in the bucket, the corners of Liu Ming's mouth raised slightly, looked around at the onlookers who were still in the clouds, and said to one of the parties, "This money is not yours!" ”

The crowd of onlookers let out an exclamation.

"You...... Don't talk nonsense, rely on ...... Why do you say that this is not my copper coin......" The long shirt was red on three sides, and immediately grabbed Bai Dao.

Liu Ming didn't answer, but looked at the onlookers with a smile, "I just observed, and there are many talents here who are present, and the case has been decided." He looked at Zhang San again and said, "Zhang San, you and I are both scholars, although we are Tian Shelang, we all have the opportunity to ascend to Tianzi Hall at dusk, and rule the world with the emperor." However, you are greedy for small profits, and you turn a deaf ear to the laws of this dynasty. ”

With that, he shook his head and left.

Zhang San saw Liu Ming coming like a pleiade from the sky, and after pointing a few words, he left like a fairy moving away, elegant and chic, but he was lucky that he did not directly explain the evidence, and in order to save face, he said unwillingly to Liu Ming's back: "You ...... You guy, you pretend to be a ghost when you speak, hide half of it, and lie to people out of thin air......"

Before he finished speaking, his face was wet, and many onlookers spit in his face.

"Phew, Zhang San is shameless! You still don't understand, do you? This copper coin is stained with oil flowers, it must be the butcher Li Si's, he kills pigs and sheep all day long, and the copper coin has oil, which is the most normal. ”

"Yes, the truth is revealed, Liu Gongzi has made such a clear explanation, you still open your eyes and say nonsense, and don't admit it!"

"Zhang San, you are not only morally corrupt, but your IQ is quite low. It's not unjust to be disqualified from the exam, and you won't be able to take the exam anyway. ”

This Zhang San, who had just woken up, was exposed on the spot, and his face was embarrassed and remorseful, like the rat crossing the street, and he hurriedly covered his face with long sleeves.

Li Si took the copper coin, his face was radiant, he bowed his hand in the direction of Liu Mingyuan, and said in a rough voice: "Everyone says that the little minister of Liufu is alert and wise, and I, Li Si, am a butcher, a rough person, and I usually don't have a chance to meet." Today, this bad thing has become a good thing, I am here, I wish Chen Xiaoxiang Gong the title of the gold list in the future, the third subject and the first, and earn a face for our Fei County! ”

Liu Ming had already walked dozens of steps at this time, and a smile appeared on his face when he heard Li Si's loud praise behind him.

"Please stay ...... Gongzi Liu"

A voice came from behind Liu Ming, and he turned around to see a short, thin middle-aged man in a green robe looking at him with a smile.

Liu Ming arched his hand and said: "This brother, what's the matter with Liu?" ”

"Young Master Liu. My master was drinking tea upstairs in Hengyang, and he just saw the little boy Zhizhi copper coin case, and he admired it. Ask the little boy to go upstairs to talk, I don't know if I can enjoy the light? The middle-aged man pointed to the restaurant on the second floor across the street.

"Oh?" Liu Ming said politely, "This brother, everyone meets in Pingshui, and Liu doesn't dare to disturb him." ”

"You're welcome, Young Master Liu...... Please. The middle-aged man didn't wait for Liu Ming to reply, but he made a gesture of leading the way, although his words were polite, there was no doubt.

This Hengyang teahouse is the most capable and largest teahouse in Fei County. Liu Ming held his robe, lifted it slightly, and "pedaled" up the wooden steps. But I saw that the private seat on the second floor was empty, and there was only one table of guests.

The man in the green robe saluted respectfully to the person at the main table facing the street, and then led Liu Ming over.

The man in the green robe saluted respectfully to the person at the main table facing the street, and then led Liu Ming over.

But when he saw the man in the main seat, he was wearing a wide coat of lake silk, with wide ears and a mustache, and looked at him with a smile.

Liu Ming owed a debt and said, "This brother, are you going to talk to me?" ”

"Come, come, sit." Bazi laughed nonsense, and then instructed Dr. Tea to serve tea and pour water.

"Ling Zun is Liu Yuanzhi, the second son of the Liu family, right?" Bazihu took a sip of tea and said.

"Exactly."

Bazihu nodded: "Well, it is quite wise to use hot water to determine the owner of the copper coin today." ”

"It's just a small skill of carving insects, not enough to worry about." Liu Ming said humbly, "I just let me meet it." If the grandfather in the yamen is here, he will definitely be able to break faster than below. ”

When he heard this, he snorted coldly, "The grandfather in the yamen? Those wine bags and rice bags? ”

At this time, the green-robed man sitting next to him explained with a smile: "This is Lord He of Zhixian County. ”

Hearing this, Liu Ming immediately stood up and bowed deeply: "The hall is above, and Liu Ming is ...... below."

Before he could finish speaking, He Xian Ling waved his hand: "Liu Xiaoguan doesn't have to be polite. This is not a public court, the official is in civilian clothes, and what he pays attention to is a quiet, and the cumbersome etiquette is saved. ”

The green-robed man diligently added tea to He Zhixian and smiled at Liu Ming: "The Lord Zhixian guards one side on behalf of the Son of Heaven and loves the people like a son." Liu Xiaoguan, you are the first young talent admired by the magistrate. ”

"Thank you, students, for your kindness." Liu Ming said respectfully.

"Liu Ming, you have learned something, as Xie Yuanlang, it is really a big increase in the façade of my Fei County." He Zhixian said with a smile. He thought to himself that since the founding of this dynasty, there have been two Xie Yuan in Fei County. The last one was during the Zhenzong Dynasty. I was lucky to meet another one.

"This official wants you to come to the court to hear the trial and understand the order and process of public affairs. If you can go to high school the day after tomorrow and be sent to work as a local parent officer, you can also accumulate some experience, you ...... What do you think? ”

Liu Ming smiled and replied gratefully: "I heard that the Yamen is hiring a position in the office, and the student is wrongly loved by the adult......

"Bookstore?" He Zhixian shook his head, "You are the champion of the test and the pride of this county." It's just a scrivener's job, and I'm so wronged by you. I've already asked people to prepare your study and bedroom at the county office, is this treatment...... It is the same as the main book of the history of the canon. During this time, you will assist the county and accumulate experience. ”

"The students are grateful, and they are only for sending."

"Yes, that's good. Liu Ming, you and I met by chance in this teahouse, which can be regarded as fate. ”

He Zhixian was greatly satisfied. This Liu Ming, high-spirited, unlimited future, if he is a high school jinshi and an official in Beijing, he can climb this big tree. From this point of view, letting him come to the county government as an errand is the best way to get close.

He gossiped with Liu Ming again about his hometown, and then he regretted saying goodbye.

The sun is setting, and the sky is full of red glow.

Liu Ming slowly walked out of the Hengyang Teahouse, and the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile - waiting for the rabbit to succeed.

How can you unexpectedly and unpretentiously meet Hozhi County? is to show off his talent under the nose of the magistrate.

He inquired about this Hezhi County, and every few days, he would drink tea in this Hengyang Building. It's about looking for opportunities to get the other person's attention.

The talented man solves the case, the county appreciates it, and cherishes each other, what an enviable story.

Now, everything is going according to plan. I'm about to enter the county office.

Liu Ming looked at the blue-gray county government buildings to the south of the teahouse, and a sense of ambition was born in his heart......
