Chapter 21 Pig Trial
In Luzhou in August, I saw people coming and going on the streets, bustling; Hawkers, shouting constantly; There are a lot of shops all over the place.
There was a commotion in the air, and on the second-floor windowsill of an inn not far away, a young man with a delicate face and a gray-white robe was silently paying attention to all this while drinking wine. Yes, this person is Qiu Mingyang who shuttled in. Qiu Mingyang is now 28 years old, but his face is still like a little fresh meat, Qiu Mingyang guessed that it might be the effect of that marrow washing and vein, and he was still very happy, after all, everyone wants to be younger.
It is said that when Qiu Mingyang first arrived in Luzhou City three days ago, as soon as he came out of the alley, he saw people coming and going on the street, all of whom had long hair in ancient costumes, so frightened that he hurriedly ran back to the alley, returned to the world bead space, changed into the ancient costume robe prepared in advance, and put on the long hair, carefully checked the whole body, and then came out with confidence. Otherwise, because he was dressed in a "strange costume" and was arrested as a spy, he really wanted to cry without tears!
But although the person came out, he suddenly found out helplessly that he didn't have the silver taels of this era, so he could only take the suit he wore in modern times to the pawnshop. The pawnshop owner saw that the material of the clothes was a little novel, and at first he was only willing to give 15 taels of silver, but after Qiu Mingyang's soft grinding and hard foaming, he added 5 taels of silver, and he didn't want to say anything more. Qiu Mingyang also knew that 20 taels of silver was a high price from the pawnshop owner, so he had to agree.
Immediately, Qiu Mingyang found an inn to live in, and after a few days of inquiry, he learned that he had come to the Song Dynasty. Today's emperor is Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, and no one may know about Zhao Zhen, but when it comes to Bao Zheng, I am afraid that everyone knows it, and everyone knows it. Bao Qingtian starring Jin Chaoqun is as loud as a flood, it is really a generation of classics and a household name! And the emperor who achieved Bao Zheng's reputation was Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, if it were not for Zhao Zhen's generosity to his courtiers, let the people cultivate and recuperate, and make the Song Dynasty develop to the peak, maybe there would be no such outspoken and selfless minister as Bao Zheng!
"Someone has tried the pig, everyone go and see it!" I don't know who said it out loud. As soon as the people in the streets heard such a strange thing as the pig trial, they all put down what they were busy with and rushed to the place where the pig was being judged.
This "trial of pigs" also interrupted Qiu Mingyang's thoughts, Qiu Mingyang also wanted to see what this was like in ancient times, although in modern TV and novels, not to mention the trial of pigs, it is the trial of gourds, and the trial of grinding plates is also something he has also seen, but after all, he has not seen it with his own eyes, so he also ran downstairs to see this pig trial! But when I arrived at the place, there were already several circles of people, and the crowd was still increasing, it seems that this is a problem whether it is ancient or modern, and this love to watch the excitement is a problem! Qiu Mingyang also knew that in a place like in ancient times, where there was no entertainment project, there must have been a lot of people eating melons when there was such a thing as a pig trial, but he didn't expect that most of the people in the entire street had already come, and the number was still increasing.
Qiu Mingyang hurriedly stood up, in case there was no place to stand later, he kept moving in, wanting to see clearly. As soon as he squeezed in, he heard the voice of a young man inside: "Pig, hurry up!" Where did you hide your stolen money? If you don't recruit yet, see how I teach you! ”
Qiu Mingyang squeezed for a while before he could reach the innermost, and just happened to see the young man hit the pig's ass a few times with the wooden stick in his hand. And the owner of the shop selling fritters and the owner of the pig next to him are waiting!
After the young man finished fighting, he said, "This time, I'm willing to recruit, I'll hear where you hid your money?" ”
"Everyone present, this pig said, it has a high hall, and there are children and grandchildren under it, forced to live in distress, so it steals people's money, if you want to know where the money is, just do it, donate a penny each, so that after it is imprisoned, the life of the family is guaranteed!" The young man turned and said to the crowd of onlookers. Immediately, he turned his head and said to a person dressed as a shopkeeper: "Please bring a basin of water to the second brother!" ”
"Okay!" The person dressed as the second child of the shop hurriedly ran to the store, brought a basin of water, and handed it to the young man.
The young man took the basin and walked towards the crowd of onlookers. Only then did Qiu Mingyang see the young man's appearance clearly, and saw that this person's face was dark, like a piece of charcoal, and there was a moon bud in the middle of his forehead. Qiu Mingyang saw this person's iconic appearance, if he didn't know who he was, he would just find a pig and kill him, oh, there is no need to look for a pig, there is one in front of him.
Yes, this young man with a black face like charcoal is the famous Bao Zheng.
And Bao Zheng brought the basin to the crowd at this moment, shook it a few times, but still no one took the money, because most of the people are very poor, and they are unwilling to take the money, on the one hand, they are not rich in their hands, and on the other hand, they are afraid of being deceived! Qiu Mingyang saw this scene and knew what the people were thinking, and there must be a leader to do it, so he stepped forward, took out a penny, and put it in the basin first. Bao Zheng glanced at Qiu Mingyang gratefully, and then brought the basin to the crowd, and saw that someone took the lead in giving money, so more than a dozen people put the money into the basin.
"Don't you want to know where the money is?" Bao Zheng said to the owner of the pig on the side with a basin of water.
The owner of the pig put the penny in his hand into the basin with a bitter face. Qiu Mingyang, who was on the side, naturally knew what trick Bao Zheng was playing, after all, this kind of trick has long been played by major film and television directors in modern times.
Sure enough, Bao Zheng looked at the basin after the owner of the pig threw the money. Then, he pointed to the owner of the pig and said loudly: "You stole the money, this old man who sells fritters, every day he uses his hand to make fritters to collect money to find money, his money must be stained with oil, but just now after you put the money into the basin, the basin floated with oil!" ”
Then he forcibly opened the hand of the owner of the pig, put the rest of the money in his hand into the basin of water, and then went to the people, turned the basin to the people, and said loudly: "Look! ”
When the onlookers looked at the water basin, they saw a layer of oil flowers floating in the water basin, and they accused the owner of the pig, saying that he was a treacherous person and wanted to send him to the official or something.
"Thank you, brother, for breaking the siege just now!" Bao Zheng solved the matter and walked over to Qiu Mingyang, and said gratefully.
"You're welcome, the road is uneven, you should help!" Qiu Mingyang replied.
"In Xia Bao Zheng, a local person in Luzhou, dare to ask Brother Taizun's surname?" Bao Zheng looked at Qiu Mingyang and asked deliberately.
"In Xiaqiu Mingyang!" Qiu Mingyang looked at Bao Zheng's swarthy face and replied truthfully.
