"Don't know?" The village lord put his hands on the table and said, "Ah, you don't know? ”

The shopkeeper knelt there, the flesh on his buttocks hurt as if he had been beaten, and he replied: "Village master, what do you mean?" You mean, my four sticks are in vain? ”

The village lord replied: "Your four sticks are lying, and they are not in vain." ”

"Lying?" The shopkeeper asked, "How can this lying not be regarded as a vain?" I'm asking the village owner, is my four sticks in vain? I kicked the shopkeeper of Lushan Road, slapped him, and went to the village to receive five sticks, but I haven't taken any of these five sticks? ”

The village owner said: "If you kick the shopkeeper of the mountain road, slap him, and you will be beaten with five sticks, this is what you said." ”

The shopkeeper said: "What did I say, I said it before I came, you are also the village master, I kicked the shopkeeper of the mountain road and slapped him, and I came to the village to take five sticks, even if it was flat?" ”

The village owner replied: "That was said before the case was tried in the court, and it can't be counted." It only counts if you speak when the case is being heard. ”

The shopkeeper listened and said, "Village master, aren't you playing tricks?" ”

"Smack!" The village lord was shocked when he heard this, and said: "When the case is being tried, the people who insult the official family, are you not looking for a beating?" ”

The shopkeeper was first startled when he heard the startled sound, and when he heard the village master speak, he said: "Village master, you, don't you bully people?" ”

The village lord replied: "Nonsense, when do I bully people? ”

The shopkeeper replied: "Village master, aren't you bullying people when you beat people at every turn?" ”

The village lord listened and asked, "When I beat you, did I beat you for no reason?" It was you who lied to the official, and I beat you. It was you who insulted me that made me want to hit you. ”

"This?" When the shopkeeper heard this, he hesitated and said: "This, then I, the village master, then my four sticks will be in vain?" ”

The village owner replied: "I'm trying the case, listen up." If you dare to lie to the official again, do you believe that the official can beat you again. ”

The shopkeeper lowered his head, and his tears of grievance were about to flow. Suffer four sticks in vain, and learn from the shopkeeper 'dumb and eat Coptis chinensis - there is bitterness and can't be said'.

The shopkeeper didn't want to suffer these four sticks in vain, he said: "Village master, let's discuss it, okay?" ”

The village lord asked, "What are you discussing with me?" ”

The shopkeeper replied with a bitter face: "Village master, let's discuss, these four sticks, even if I beat four of the five sticks of the shopkeeper on the mountain road, will it work?" ”

The village lord listened, pondered, and said, "You have to ask, the shopkeeper of Lushan Road." The village lord stretched out his hand towards the shopkeeper of Lu Shan Road.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he smiled bitterly. He slowly looked at the shopkeeper of Lushan Road and said, "Shopkeeper Lu, can you do a good job?" ”

The shopkeeper of Lushan Road, kneeling there to look at the shopkeeper, said in his heart: "Why should I be good to you?" ”

The shopkeeper of Lushan Road did not understand the shopkeeper, kneeling there with a serious expression.

"Huh?" The shopkeeper asked: "The surname is Lu, you, can you do a good job?" ”

The village owner saw that the shopkeeper was so good, and he held the chair handle with both hands, and he didn't think he could say that he could move the mountain shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper of Lushan Road had a serious expression and was reluctant to learn the shopkeeper.

Learn the shopkeeper to give way to the shopkeeper is good, but it is not good to be polite. He said, "The surname is Lu, you can do it." Hit me with one more stick, and we'll be even? ”

The shopkeeper had a serious expression.

Learn the shopkeeper and say: "The surname is Lu, you can do a good job." ”

The shopkeeper didn't want to take advantage of the shopkeeper, so he said, "Did you throw a shoe at my house?" ”

The old man, who was sitting there, listened, and glanced at his shoes.

"That?" The shopkeeper asked, "Then what do you mean by that?" ”

The shopkeeper replied: "It doesn't mean anything, just talk." ”

"What does it mean?" The shopkeeper asked, "How about the man surnamed Lu?" ”

The shopkeeper doesn't like to listen to the shopkeeper speak, and if the shopkeeper talks well, he can do it well. If you don't talk well to learn from the shopkeeper, it's inconvenient for the shopkeeper to be good to him.

The shopkeeper pondered, "Can't this surname learn to speak well?" ”

I also want to say a good word to the shopkeeper on the road, but I am embarrassed because of my small face. He said: "The shopkeeper of the road, haven't we all said that we will come to the village office, I will be beaten with five sticks, and we will settle this matter?" I've been beaten four times now. Say something. ”

The shopkeeper didn't want to take advantage of the shopkeeper, so he said: "This matter is all solved by the village owner." ”

The village lord looked at them impatiently and asked, "Have you two discussed it?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "Village master, let's discuss it quickly." ”

The shopkeeper knelt there with a serious expression, and complained that the shopkeeper couldn't speak. He wanted to talk about learning from the shopkeeper, but he didn't know what to say about him. Kneeling there and trying to speak but unable to speak.

The village owner asked, learning from the shopkeeper who wanted to say it but couldn't say it. In the end, he didn't care, and said, "The shopkeeper ······ road"

The shopkeeper said it down, but he didn't say it anymore.

The three words "road shopkeeper" moved the road shopkeeper who sold bamboo baskets and barrels. After waiting for a while, he said: "It's okay to let me do well, my Lu never takes advantage of others." ”

After listening to the shopkeeper, what do you feel like the shopkeeper else has? He asked, "Do you still have a request?" ”

The shopkeeper replied, "I didn't ask for it. ”

"Oh? Not requires. The shopkeeper hugged his fist at the shopkeeper and said: "Then thank the shopkeeper of the road?" ”

The shopkeeper knelt there and didn't look at the shopkeeper, raised his left hand, and said, "Don't thank me." I never take advantage of others. ”

The shopkeeper didn't say it clearly, and the shopkeeper asked: "I have already been beaten with four sticks, and if I am beaten with one stick, you and I will be evened?" ”

The shopkeeper raised his head and said, "Yes, if you take another stick, you and I will be even." ”

After listening to this, the shopkeeper looked at the village owner and said, "Village master, the shopkeeper of the road has already said that if you learn a certain stick and learn a certain thing with the shopkeeper of the road, it will be even if it is even." Please send the village owner. ”

"Hmm!" The village lord responded impatiently, and he asked Lu Shan: "Then learn nine cars and take a stick, and the matter between the two of you will be settled, right?" ”

"Not bad." The shopkeeper replied with a serious expression.

"Come on, beat that nine cars again." The village lord called for people to point to the shopkeeper who was kneeling there.

The two officials held the water and fire stick in one hand and the Xuejiu chariot in the other, pressing it to the bench. The first official retreated, and the first official stayed for execution.

The shopkeeper lay on his chair, his eyes closed, waiting for the stick to hit the ass that he didn't know what kind of beating he had been.

The servant showed no mercy, waved a water and fire stick, and hit the buttocks of the shopkeeper hard.

"Oops!" The shopkeeper was beaten so that his head and back were cocked.

While the village lord was trying the case, he wrote down everything that should be recorded.

The shopkeeper took the last stick and lay on the stool. After the five sticks were beaten, he and the shopkeeper were leveled.

The village lord looked at what he had written, and wrote it down on this paper, but not in the booklet where the case was recorded. He said, "You two wait for a while, and I'll go back and get the booklet, and write down everything in the book." When it is written down on the booklet, you two can sign the booklet. After signing the pledge, the two of them can leave. ”
