After lunch, the south gate of the county town (the new city wall has not yet been completed). Nearly 5,000 soldiers were outside the city gate, densely packed, plus the onlookers, the scene was quite spectacular.

Dian Wei and Guan Hai each led 2,000 troops to Yanzhou and Xuzhou to buy grain and medicinal materials; Tai Shi Ci led a hundred horsemen to go to Linjiang in Ba County; Gao Xu and Zhang Fei led 500 troops to Taishan County. Although Taishan County and Jinan Kingdom are neighbors, after all, there are Yellow Turban troops everywhere, so it is more appropriate to bring some troops.

Before leaving, Xie Chengbin led officials at all levels to toast them and tell them off, and asked everyone to be more careful. In addition to the officials, there were also family members, Gao Xu's daughter and Tai Shici's mother. The people drank the wine and went their separate ways.

After seeing him off, Xie Chengbin was about to go home, when suddenly two men rushed towards Xie Chengbin, and even if he was stopped by the guards, he squeezed forward. "Let the king make the decision for the grass people!" "Please do justice to the king!"

Hearing this, everyone stopped and approached the two under the leadership of Xie Chengbin. I saw that the guards stopped two middle-aged people, one was thin and the other was fat. Both of them had blue noses, swollen faces, and disheveled clothes, which should have been caused by the fight. "What's the matter?"

Hearing this, the two knelt down one after another, and the guards also got out of the way, but the onlookers came over. The fat man took out a money bag and held it up with both hands. "The grass people are old businessmen who sell grain for a living. A few days ago, I heard that Jinan recruited displaced people, and the grass people thought that this was a huge business opportunity, so they came to Jinan to sell grain. For a while, the money bag was left behind, and it was picked up by this person, and the grass people wanted to get it back, but this person hated that the money bag was not the grass people's thing! Ask the king to uphold justice! ”

The thin man was not to be outdone. "Don't let you listen to the villain's words, this money bag is the hard-earned money of the grass people! I heard that the envoy collected grain to help the displaced people, and the grass people went to Chenliu to buy grain and sell their own government at a low price! I sold out of grain today, and I wanted to go to Chen Liu, but I accidentally dropped the money bag halfway, but fortunately I picked it up in time. Unexpectedly, this villain's eyes were red, and he wanted to rob money in broad daylight, hoping to make the king make the decision for the grass people! ”

The two insisted on their own words, Xie Chengbin didn't know who was right and who was wrong, that is, there were no witnesses and no surveillance video. Xie Chengbin picked up the money bag and weighed it, it was a bit heavy, almost ten catties. "Both of them say that this money bag is their own, and they also say that they are grain merchants, so they must know everything about what they have in their bags, so how much money is in this money bag?"

"This ......" The thin man who was still upright just now suddenly became dumbfounded, and he could only be in a hurry.

The fat man simply fell into deep thought, and the whole person was silent. After a moment of silence, an uncertain answer is given. "Four pieces of broken silver, about seventy coins."

Xie Chengbin turned his head to look at the thin man when he heard this, the thin man was anxious, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said his answer. "Three pieces of broken silver, seventy-four pieces of money."

Xie Chengbin beckoned, and an official envoy came over to take the money bag, squatted down, poured the money on the ground and began to count, and everyone couldn't take their eyes off the official envoy counting. Xie Chengbin left quietly at this moment, but not many people noticed.

After a short while, witnessed by everyone at the scene, the official envoy finally finished counting, namely: four pieces of broken silver and seventy-four five-bead coins. At this time, Xie Chengbin happened to come back.

"Since the two of them insisted on their own words and could not say the number of the two coins, it was difficult to determine who was who, and the magistrate decided to divide the two coins into two, two pieces of silver and thirty-seven pieces of money each." With Xie Chengbin's words, the official envoy began to count again, dividing the money into two parts.

Hearing this result, the expressions of the two were different, the thin man had a dead face, and the fat man had a calm face.

The two took the money and left. However, the matter came to an end, but Xie Chengbin remained motionless, and had no intention of leaving at all. If it weren't for the cold wind blowing Xie Chengbin's clothes slightly swaying, then Xie Chengbin would be like a sculpture.

Xie Chengbin did not leave, and the officials and guards did not dare to leave, plus the onlookers, hundreds of people stared at each other in the snow.

A minute passed, Xie Chengbin still didn't move, Tai Shici's mother and Gao Xu's daughter looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine Xie Chengbin was selling in the gourd, some people felt bored and went home.

At this moment, the fat man and the thin man were brought back by the two guards, and except for Xie Chengbin, everyone else at the scene couldn't help but be surprised.

The guards who brought the fat man back hugged their fists at Xie Chengbin. "Enlightenment Taishou! When the subordinate followed the man, the man did not speak. When the subordinates quietly walked in front of this person, they saw this person smiling. ”

"Enlightenment Taishou! When his subordinates followed behind this man, they heard that this person was insulting the official who was too guarded. When his subordinates quietly walked in front of this person, this person was full of anger. Cut according to the law! The guard who brought back the thin man clenched his fists and reported.

"Let you spare your life! The grass people know their mistakes! Let you spare your life! When he heard that he was going to behead himself, the thin man was so frightened that his hands and feet trembled, and he hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"It is excusable to insult the official, and the death penalty can be avoided!" Xie Chengbin picked up the thin man.

Seeing that the thin man's face was full of astonishment, and the others were also confused, Xie Chengbin said the reason. "It is difficult to determine who is who, so it is said that if the money is divided into two, and the case is closed in this way, the owner of the money bag must hold a grudge, and the liar must smile if he gets half of the wealth for no reason!"

The thin man had tears in his eyes when he heard this, and knelt down to Xie Chengbin again. "The grass people have no eyes, and they blame the Taishou, and they are willing to hand over all the money to the Taishou to relieve the homeless, and they are willing to accept the guilt!"

"This official just said that the death penalty can be avoided! This money is obtained by your hard work, if it is confiscated, the official can't bear it! Your benevolence, this official has received it! Xie Chengbin picked up the thin man again, and turned to face the fat man again. Do you have anything to say? ”

"The grass people have nothing to say!" The fat man twisted his head to the side, a little unconvinced.

Xie Chengbin saw it in his eyes, and he didn't intend to blame the fat man, after all, this qiē was just Xie Chengbin's conjecture, and there was no evidence that the money bag must be thin. "So, let's go."

"Huh? Don't you keep too much to condemn the grass people? "The fat man has no fear, but he is not afraid at all!

Isn't this thing afraid of death? This made Xie Chengbin couldn't help but be slightly stunned. "You are just greedy for a while, and now that the money bag has been returned to its original owner, the official will no longer pursue it, and he will stop it."

The fat man took a step towards Xie Chengbin and looked at Xie Chengbin intently.

I don't know what's going on, seeing the fat man's eyes, Xie Chengbin suddenly breathed more, his spine was cold, and he stood up with no hair on his body! On a cold day, my back actually started to sweat! It's a dangerous breath! No wonder this fat man has no fear, it turns out that he is a dangerous person!

Xie Chengbin will never allow danger to threaten him, if the fat man in front of him takes another step, Xie Chengbin will definitely not hesitate to do it!

Unexpectedly, the fat man suddenly smiled, and the dangerous aura just now disappeared without a trace, and he bowed to Xie Chengbin. "Thank you, grass people, for not killing!"

Watching the fat man and the thin man leave, Xie Chengbin also went home. Xie Chengbin, who was on the road, frowned again and again, wondering if he was nervous.

The fat man and the thin man walked out of the city, neither of them speaking. Walking into the field overgrown with weeds, the fat man suddenly stopped, and the thin man who followed the fat man froze instantly as if he was shocked by electricity, and the money bag in his hand fell to the ground and turned into a stone! The thin man himself turned into a pile of dead grass! And the middle-aged fat man has become an old man with a wrinkled face! The old man turned to look at the withered grass that the thin man had turned into, stroked his beard, and nodded, smiling mysteriously.

At the same time, an inn in Ju County, Langxiguo County, Xuzhou, has a good business in the inn, and there are more than a dozen diners sitting inside.

"Alas! Thinking of yesterday, I was grief-stricken and tasteless drinking! The middle-aged man who was drinking suddenly sighed.

Hearing this, almost everyone had no appetite and put down the dishes and chopsticks one after another, except for a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman next to him, who was still eating and drinking, attracting hostile eyes from the surroundings.

Being stared at by others, the merchant put down the dishes and chopsticks, and wanted to ask others why they were staring at him like this. "What's the matter?"

The middle-aged man mistakenly thought that the businessman was asking what happened yesterday, so he answered. "Yesterday, many people rebelled, shouting 'The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the year is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious', plundering everywhere, the officers and soldiers are invincible, and the people are all suffering."

The merchant understood this time and took a sip of his wine. "A certain from Jinan, a few days ago there were also people rebelling in Pingling, the east of Jinan County, but fortunately, Xie Taishou resisted desperately to defeat the rebels."

"Is there such a thing? How did Xie Jinan break the enemy? Can you tell us about it? Not only the middle-aged people were curious, but more than a dozen diners in the entire inn came over to listen to what happened to Jinan.

"Ahem!" When the merchant saw that everyone had come over, he immediately felt a sense of shame and cleared his throat. "My humble house is located near the county town, a few nights ago, the weather was cold, and I wanted to rest early after I was full, but I didn't expect to lie down and there was a deafening shout! Frightened, he hurriedly blocked the door, for fear that the thieves would break into the cold house. After killing for a long time, no one came to kick the door, so a certain quietly opened the window to take a look. This is a terrible sight, I saw that the avenue was full of thieves, and there were so many people who came, so I almost stood on the roof! ”
