Chapter 49: Dip Your Blessings
"Lord Wei, why do I think something is wrong with this? Thisβthat's not what you're for, is it?! β
Wei Ming looked at the little girl standing in front of him, and couldn't help but smile: "It's just pushing the boat down the river." β
When he said this, the little girl immediately screamed and jumped up, "Sure enough, it's you!" I could have made a lot of money in the future, but now you have cut off all the money! Oh my God, I believe in your wickedness! β
Wei Ming was poked by her shocked and jumping appearance to laugh, "It's really a smooth sailing, if there is no Zhao Gong to denounce it, can I sue myself myself?" β
Cui Zhi didn't believe him easily, "That's what I said, but even if Zhao Gong didn't sue, I think you can also lead him to sue you!" β
When it comes to this, the minimum trust between people is gone.
Wei Ming covered his forehead and shook his head with a smile, "This time it did delay you making money, these ten treasure bills, you can stay." β
"Huh?" Cui Zhi was immediately happy, but after thinking about it, "This money was originally mine!" The magistrate bought out my golden idea, can't he give me a buyout fee? You're simply borrowing flowers to offer Buddha! β
As he spoke, he directly tucked the money to his waist, put the money away, quietly looked up at Wei Ming, saw that he looked innocent, and hummed: "Don't you see the money open?" What has become of all this? β
This is said as if everyone has eyes open when they see money.
Wei Ming shook his head.
Cui Zhi glanced at him a few more times, "I said, Lord Wei, did you become the boss in your last life, and someone came to the door every day to send money?" So now when I see money, my heart has no fluctuations, and I even feel a little disgusted? β
The first two sentences were right, Wei Ming thought.
When he became the magistrate of the county, someone began to send money, and when the emperor personally sealed the crown prince and prince, as she said, almost every day someone came to the door to send ice and charcoal to salute, and the four seasons of the festival.
It's just that no matter how high a person is, how can he dislike money? Especially in times of poverty like these.
Wei Ming thought for a moment, "Otherwise, you and I are eighty-two points, right?" β
"What eighty-two points? Lafite, who is still 82 years old! Cui Zhi was full of time and space, and without waiting for Wei Ming to speak again, he asked him, "What does Lord Wei want money for?" Eat fragrant and drink spicy? β
Wei Ming glanced at her, "There are three earthen houses at home, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to withstand the severe cold in winter." β
Cui Zhi remembered the dilapidated courtyard of the Wei family after he mentioned this. One of the three earthen houses collapsed, and when she slept at night, Wei Ming asked her to sleep on the earthen kang and sleep on the ground by herself.
If you have money, you have to improve your life!
Cui Zhi waved his hand, "I won't share any of it with you, but I'll take care of the building of the house!" If you can't kick me out! β
How could he possibly drive her? Wei Ming assured her, seeing that she hummed contentedly, he suddenly said: "Don't call me by name in the future, it's not good to wear a goof, and the name Cuizhi is too earthy, my master calls me Xiaoqi." β
Little Seven?
"Could it be that you are in the seventh division of the sect?"
"Yes! The six senior brothers in front of you! I am a disciple of Master. She said, her voice lowered, and she let out a long sigh.
She didn't say anything more, but when she saw a small stone on the side of the road, she trotted forward in two steps and kicked it, as if she wanted to kick the unhappiness in her heart. It's just that......
"Ahh On the empty road, a scream came out of thin air, "My foot is going to break!" This stone is buried in the ground! β
Wei Ming was scared half to death by her, and then saw that the stone was firmly buried in the ground, and Cui Zhi had already curled up and fell to the ground.
"Got a rock...... Damn! How am I going to go back?! She clutched her feet in pain and burst into tears.
Wei Ming saw that she got carried away and suffered a crime, and he didn't know what to say, so he squatted down.
"I'll carry you, Xiao Qi."
......
It was getting late, the clouds were thick, and the setting sun was hovering on the top of the distant mountain, revealing beams of golden light through the gaps in the clouds, stretching the shadows of the two thin and weak children as long as the road home.
A bird flew over the road, glanced at the boy who was taking one step at a time, and the little girl who was sleeping on his back, fluttering its wings, and plunged into the woods.

Cui Zhi has been lying at home for a few days, and it has rained twice, and the people in the village have run out to shout the dragon king's manifestation, and Tian went home and said, someone really saw the dragon king.
These words came and went, and it became that everyone saw the Dragon King, and Cui Zhi didn't believe it, but he also believed it, and it was a pity that he didn't go out to take a look at the corners on the head of the Dragon King.
The Wei family's salt and grain were all cleared, but the small courtyard did not calm down, and there were often villagers who came to walk around, only Granny Guo and Granny Bai came to see Cui Zhi five or six times, and Dongcai also secretly came once, and ran away with two wild dates in her hand.
More and more people came to see her, and many of them hadn't even seen Cui Zhi himself, so they left with a smile when they arrived at the door. Cui Zhi finally found something strange, she pulled Tian by the bed and asked, Tian touched her hand lovingly.
"Xiao Qi, you are our lucky star, I invited the Lord of the Stove and the Lord of the Dragon to come, the people in the village are naturally grateful to you after eating the grain and seeing the rain, and they want to come to touch your blessings!"
Cui Zhi was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and the beauty is not good: I have really become a fubenfu and koi benyu? !
But Cui Zhi thought about it and called Wei Ming over, "Brother Mu, did you help me publicize it?" β
Wei Ming was busy liquidating salt and grain, and then Zhao Gong and Dai Gang needed him to testify in the murder case, and went to the county seat twice, and just returned home today.
When he heard Cui Zhi say this, he didn't deny it, "Originally, you also got the food." β
These words really make people eat smoothies on a hot day, Cui Zhi giggled twice, and asked Wei Ming, "Is Zhao Gong sentenced over there?" β
At the beginning of today, Li Zhixian opened a court to try the case, and Zhao Gong and others have all been sentenced.
First of all, Zhao Gong, the chief of grain, in the name of taking care of grain, privately withheld the rations issued by the county to the villagers, and the yamen investigation found that Zhao Gong had deducted a stone of corn and sold it to a wealthy family in Linxian County, and his son Zhao Baojian even threatened that the Zhao family could get as much grain as they wanted.
In addition to the self-theft, Zhao Gong asked Dai Gang to bribe Zhang Hong to arrest him, and the evidence is also conclusive.
The magistrate directly stripped Zhao Gong of his identity as the grain chief, and made it clear that the Zhao family would not be allowed to serve as the grain chief and the chief of the department for 50 years. Zhao Gong was fined 70 boards, and his son Zhao Baojian was 50 boards, and he could fold rice and grain and hand them over for five stones, but there were still 20 boards on the boards, which were indispensable.
Where does the Zhao family still have these five stones of grain now, Li Zhixian asked the Zhao family to fold it into thirty taels of silver, otherwise the board will serve.
These twenty boards have already cost half the life of the Zhao family's father and son, and who can stand the seventy or fifty boards. The Zhao family poured out all their property and scraped together thirty taels of silver to hand it over, and the family only waited to drink loess every day.
Although Dai Gang's circumstances were minor, his identity was doubtful, but the time was long ago, and he could not find out the exact evidence, so he was fined forty boards, which could be redeemed for one stone of grain, and the same could be handed over in silver.
Even if this is confiscated, Zhao Gong's sister went to the door every day to scold Zhao Gong for harming her husband, and the family became enemies when they met, and even half of Zhangtang Village was smoky, so it was not lively.
As for arresting Zhang Hong, he didn't dare to climb Wang Fu, and resisted all the charges, and the magistrate found out that he had not lost any money or defrauded or intimidated the people, and he thought that all the money was in his pocket.
Li Fan also knew that he couldn't pry his mouth open, so he directly confiscated his family property, caned him fifty times, and imprisoned him for two years, and reported to the Qingzhou prefect without objection.
Li Zhixian's punishment can be said to be on a case-by-case basis, neither light nor severe, and Cui Zhi has no objections.
Wei Ming told her not to worry about that much, "It's hot and easy to cause wounds, and it's important for you to be careful about your injuries." β
Yes, Cui Zhi doesn't want to be a cripple at a young age!
