Chapter 35 Huang Chongya's Wonderful Donkey

Three years ago, Lai Junchen united with the Internal Guard Mansion to falsely accuse Di Renjie of rebellion and arrest him in prison, in fact, many ministers have enjoyed this kind of treatment, and many ministers will be framed by cool officials Lai Junchen, so when the court officials were in the court, they didn't know if they would be "sneak attacked", so when they said goodbye to their families, they said: "I don't know if we can see each other again?" ”

Di Renjie's treatment was higher than that of other courtiers, and he was falsely accused by Lai Junchen and Neiwei.

In the history of the original world, there was nothing to do with internal guards, and as soon as Di Renjie entered the cell, he simply admitted to the rebellion and avoided being beaten.

But in this world, Di Renjie was first beaten and forced to ask by the internal guards, and he really couldn't ask anything, so he handed it over to Lai Junchen for processing, and the situation after that was not much different from the situation in the original world history, after seeing Lai Junchen, Di Renjie simply admitted his crime, which saved him from torture.

Of course, Di Renjie also has his own temperament, and the judge Wang Deshou once said to Di Renjie: If he is willing to report that Yang Zhirou also participated in the rebellion, even if he is guilty of meritorious service, his sentence can be commuted.

Di Renjie sternly refused, he was forced to be anxious, and simply hit his head on the stone pillar, covered with blood, Wang Deshou was so frightened that he could only apologize to Di Renjie and did not dare to mention the matter again.

Later, Di Renjie wrote his experience on a turban, hid it in cotton clothes and sent it home, and his family took this letter to the emperor, and then after several twists and turns, Wu Zetian personally interrogated Di Renjie.

After talking, Wu Zetian thought that Di Renjie was not guilty, so he pardoned him for his capital crime, but this matter was also used by Di Renjie's political enemies to make a fuss, and Di Renjie was demoted to Pengze County Order.

If it was in the history of the original world, just this year, Wu Zetian would use Di Renjie again, but in this world, it is estimated that it is impossible.

……

Hongze County.

"Di Renjie deserves to be Di Renjie, amazing!" Walking on the street of Hongze County, Huang Chong said with emotion.

Not to mention how developed the agriculture of Hongze County is and how happy the people are, just look at the prosperity of Hongze County, which is no less prosperous than Hongzhou, the seat of Jiangnan Province, and this alone can see Di Renjie's ability to govern.

In the TV series, Di Renjie once said that he inspected three standards for officials - first, he had the heart to patrol for the Son of Heaven and appease the people; second, to advise agriculture and water conservancy; The third is criminal and prison proceedings, and those who are aware of the people are reasonable, those who are all three are of high quality, those who have two of them are of medium quality, those who have one of the three are of inferior quality, and those who have none of the three will be dismissed.

According to this standard, Di Renjie is definitely an official and a superior grade.

"Hey, what's going on?" Huang Chong found that there was a group of people in front of the county yamen, usually this situation is that there is a lively look, and the group of people who eat melons has existed since ancient times.

With his flexible skills, Huang Chong easily squeezed into the crowd and came to the front, Huang Chong originally thought that Di Renjie was in the trial, and he could get a glimpse of the detective in advance, but no, in front of the county yamen, two men were arguing over the ownership of a donkey.

Through the narration of others and the argument between the two men, Huang Chong roughly understood the cause and effect of the whole thing, the matter is actually a bit old-fashioned, the two men were originally brothers, and their father died not long ago.

My father made a will before his death, dividing the property among his two children, and I don't know if it was because he was sick and confused, he actually forgot about the donkey, which was also an extremely important tool in ancient times.

A donkey, how to divide the two brothers?

None of them could convince anyone, so they went to the county office, hoping that the county magistrate could make a fair decision.

Unfortunately, today Di Renjie went to the state capital to report on his work, not in the mansion, although there is a county Cheng sitting in the town, but the county Cheng has limited ability and cannot come up with a solution that satisfies both of them, and the two brothers quarreled in front of the county yamen.

After Huang Chong understood the cause and effect, he secretly said in his heart that this is really a godsend, just to show himself, maybe he can get on the line with Di Renjie in advance.

"Two brothers, Lord County, I don't know if I can listen to the next word." Huang Chong stood up and clasped his fists and said loudly, he used some skills, his voice was loud, covering up all the noise, and everyone's eyes were naturally focused on Huang Chong.

"Oh, does this gentleman have a solution?" Seeing that Huang Chong had an extraordinary temperament, the county leader hurriedly asked, because of Di Renjie, the officials of Hongze County are more kind to the people.

Huang Chong nodded, walked to the side of the donkey, and said to the two brothers: "According to the younger brother's opinion, the fairest division of this donkey should be one and a half, what do the two brothers think?" ”

"That's right, half of one person is fairest, but you can't kill this donkey."

Huang Chong smiled and said, "Of course, but this is also simple, one of your brothers paid for the other half, so that you don't have to kill the donkey." ”

"How much does that cost?" The county asked.

In fact, this proposal has been said by the county just now, but the two sides can't agree on the price, and the person who asks for money naturally hopes to sell it at a higher price than the market price, while the person who wants a donkey wants to sell it at a lower price than the market price, so the two brothers quarreled again.

As the saying goes, "it is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs", the county is also very troubled.

Originally, he could also force the two of them to calculate according to the market price, but the county wanted to show his ability so that he could be appreciated by Di Renjie, so he didn't want to use coercive measures to solve this matter.

Ordinary people don't know that he is very clear as a county magistrate, even the emperor has to call Di Renjie "the old man of the country", so don't look at Di Renjie being demoted to Hongze now, but what Di Renjie said still has weight, if he can be appreciated by Di Renjie, he is a little excited to think about it.

So things are what they are.

"This is easy to do, so I ask the two brothers to bid separately, how much they think this donkey should be worth, and the average of the price offered by the two is the price of the donkey, but there is a premise, that is, the two high bidders want to buy this donkey."

"This?"

Hearing Huang Chong's suggestion, everyone immediately thought about it in their hearts.

"Good way." The county was the first to react and clapped his hands in praise.

In this way, neither of the two brothers dared to make the price too outrageous.

Once the bid is too high, then the price of the donkey will be raised, and because the highest bidder wins, then it means that the person with the highest bid will pay a lot of money to buy the donkey, which is obviously not cost-effective.

And if the bid is too low, then the price of the donkey will be lowered, so that the other party will take advantage of it and be able to buy the donkey for very little money.

The end result is obviously that it will be closer to the market price, because that is the most reasonable.
