"Boldly Diao Min, you also bribed the official with twenty taels of silver, it is really bold, you dare to publicly bribe in the court, you want to put the official in the position of injustice, but also let the official bear the infamy, the court will investigate it, the official is afraid that he will not live tomorrow! Diao Min wants to kill his own official, so he uses this method, which is really insidious and vicious! ”。 Jin Shan said.

"My lord, my lord, this, this, this ......"

"What, this, that? That's it, twenty taels of silver will be confiscated and put into the treasury, warning you, don't bully people with power again, don't be unkind to the rich, if there is another such incident, you must definitely think about it, you will definitely get a serious punishment, and you will never break your word. This official has already investigated clearly, and the ins and outs of the matter have long been understood, if you bully the township again, this official will not be spared. Do you understand? Jin Shan said.

"Understood, sir!" Feng Quyan said.

"Go, you don't need to make trouble in the future, if you find out, you will be sent to the frontier and never return home." Jin Shan said.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the small people must abide by the law, live in peace, open a warehouse for relief, help the weak, support the poor, do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and seek well-being for future generations." Feng Quyan said.

"You said far away, as long as you accumulate virtue and do good, you can be safe now, and this official will not send you to the frontier, but praise you as a good model squire." Jin Shan said.

Hearing this, Feng Qu was happy, said goodbye to Jin Shan, boldly walked in front of the county yamen, and went home, glad that he was not assigned, and he really gave up his wealth to avoid disaster.

Jin Shan cleaned up here, went to the back hall to rest, read, enjoy flowers, and tasted tea, feeling that he hadn't been wandering on the street for a long time.

He wandered the streets, not in official clothes, but in civilian clothes. Walk to the teahouse, see a flag on it, with a capital "tea" on it, here is close to the river, there are also many boats moored by the river, here is like an ink painting, it looks very beautiful, leisurely, comfortable.

Jin Shan drank tea for a while, and was about to leave, when he was suddenly stopped.

This person looked very delicate, with a fair face, starry eyes and sword eyebrows, he looked like a scholar, but his voice was loud, and he shouted: "Lord Jin, how can you have time to drink tea here?" ”

Jin Shan took a look, looked up and down, and found that this person was gorgeously dressed, but his clothes were not smooth enough, there was a jade around his waist, and he was wearing a huge gold ring on his hand, which was inlaid with emerald gemstones, and it was like a cat's eye, and there was a scar on the back of his hand, and he didn't know how to leave it.

"Oh, who are you?" Jin Shan asked.

"I'm a wealthy local man named Bao Fa."

"Bao Fa? The name is interesting. Jin Shan said.

"I'm a local gentleman and I'm well respected." Bao spoke.

"Really? Why haven't you heard about it? Jin Shan said.

"My lord, after coming to Dengcheng, I handle cases every day, deal with government affairs, where I have time to go to the street, of course I don't know many people, besides, I am a gentleman, I am famous near and far, I know it, my lord doesn't know, because no one tells me. Now that I know, it's not too late, you can come to my house to have some tea, the tea here is not good, I will prepare good tea for you. It's worth drinking, and you won't forget it. Also, I also have some treasures that I can show to adults, scatter my mind, and gain a long insight. Bao said.

"Of course! It's good to go for a long time. Just don't know if it's convenient? Did it bother you? Jin Shan asked.

"No, no, I can't wait to come and see it, it's not interesting to watch it alone, adults come to see it, let my home have light, and make me more famous." Bao spoke.

Jin Shan thought to himself, Bao Fa seems to be rich and wants to be famous, and he used the county government order to raise his value, it is estimated that he didn't meet me by chance, he said it on purpose, he may have found a chance to get close to me, and then invited him to his house to see, this is his plan.

If you want to see it, go see it. What might be discovered?

Jin Shan's professional sensitivity is very high, and he began to be a little suspicious of this squire, Bao Fa, it seems that he can't hide the joy in his heart, and wants to share his heart that is swelled by wealth, because he has money, so he wants to be famous, and with fame, it will naturally bring some benefits, including wealth. He may not have this awareness, but he is actually doing it.

Bao Fa invited Jin Shan to his home, speaking of home, in fact, it is a mansion, it looks very luxurious, this is a huge amount of money to build, it looks brilliant, compared with Jin Shan's home, Jin Shan's looks shabby. This local tyrant, Bao Fa, why is he so rich? This made Jin Shan suddenly consider that Bao Fa was not simple, and he didn't know what was going on, but his intuition told him that Bao Fa was not a simple character.

Bao Fa laughed and said: "I am very happy that the adults came to my house, it is really good, just at the door, I saw a lot of people watching, as soon as the adults came, I had more face." This side please. ”

He said and laughed, led Jin Shan through the corridor, on the wall of the corridor, there are stone calligraphy, written some famous poems, they came to the hall, the three walls of the hall, are hung with all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, there are Huang Tingjian's "Pillar Inscription", Wang Xizhi's cursive "Peace Post", the Southern Song Dynasty anonymous "Han Palace Autumn Map", Wang Meng's "Autumn Mountain Xiao Temple Map", Qian Weicheng's "Yandang Map", Bada Shanren's "Bamboo and Stone Mandarin Ducks", Chen Yan's "Love Rhyme Ink Flower" and so on, There are also many famous paintings of current famous artists, and they are also hanging in Bao Fa Jia.

Bao Fa was very proud, he looked at Jin Shan's surprised appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "This is all trivial, adult, the villain has money, if the adult wants, just take it, how much you want, how much you want, these calligraphy and paintings of mine are priceless, just a painting, you can buy a building." Don't dislike me for being rude, there's no way, I'm rich! It's so cool to be rich! If you have money, you have everything! If you have everything, you must have money! Money can make money, and those who don't have money are getting less and less money, like me, with money! It's so rich! Hahaha! As long as the adults speak, they will never be disappointed. ”

"Really? What do you want? ”

"I want to be an official, I'm too rich, I can't help it, I have nothing to do every day, and I can't spend all the money, so I want to do something, and I want to be a fast catcher in the county government, I can arrest people. How enjoyable is that! Bao Fa said.

"Can you run?"

"Of course you can, you see, my lord, how muscular my body is. It's amazing, every day is wasted, I really want to do some errand, listen to the dispatch of adults! Bao said.

"Let's not talk about this topic for the time being, if you are interested, you can go to the county office for a day to try, but you can experience it with other old errands, what do you think?" Jin Shan asked.

Jin Shan thought to himself, he is a well-fed person, he has nothing to do, he wants to find something to do, not to do anything else, and he even has an official addiction, this guy, his image is debauched, his behavior is vulgar, he is gorgeously dressed but unkempt, he is really an embroidered pillow, he looks beautiful on the outside, and his stomach is full of recklessness. 、

This guy has so many noble calligraphy and paintings, and his speech and demeanor don't match much, that is, as soon as he talks, he knows how this person is, this one looks like a hooligan at a glance, I don't know how to get these calligraphy and paintings, is it bought with money? Is it someone who loves to collect? It is not like, let him say, he can't say one, two, three, he doesn't seem to have studied these calligraphy and paintings, but just hangs them in the living room for the guests to see, as if he has a scholarly style, and also wants to show himself to others, to show that he is a suave and talented person, so as to satisfy his vanity.

He was a vassal and elegant, and he wanted to enter a higher social class.

Jin Shan asked: "These precious calligraphy and paintings are really priceless treasures, you are really blessed!" ”

When Bao Fa heard it, he was overjoyed! I don't know what to do.

He spoke loudly and loudly, and the voice resounded through the hall, and the other servants held their breath and did not dare to speak loudly.

"Come on, come on, after appreciating the calligraphy and paintings, please eat, I have already arranged it, please enjoy the face of the dining." Bao spoke.

Jin Shan agreed, he nodded, and looked at Bao Fa, he was even more proud.

The meals are very rich, Jin Shan usually doesn't eat much, and when he arrives here, he is also very controlled, he doesn't drink alcohol, Bao Fa drinks a few big bowls, Jin Shan knows very well that he should be extra careful with such people. The villain is rampant when he gets his will, and if he eats and drinks and doesn't do anything, I'm afraid he will act excessively.

Besides, it is not easy to say the wrong thing without drinking, so keep a clear head so that you don't regret saying the wrong thing.

After dinner, he went for a walk in the back garden.

Jin Shan didn't let Bao Fa accompany him, and it happened that Bao Fa liked to sleep after dinner, so he let a subordinate to serve, but Jin Shan refused, and Jin Shan sent the subordinate to wander around the huge courtyard.

In the southwest corner of the garden, there is a verandah, and there is also a pavilion, take a closer look, and it says Tingsong Pavilion.

In the pavilion sat a young woman, gorgeously dressed, with extraordinary femininity, a little light makeup, red lips, willow eyebrows, eyes like stars, shining, left and right, eyes breathtaking. A young woman, sitting alone and listening to the pine pavilion, makes people feel strange.

Jin Shan observed that the woman had a faint sadness, a long sigh, as if she had a heavy heart, according to professional habits, as well as professional sensitivity, he stepped forward, bowed, straightened her clothes, made it smooth and smooth, and then asked politely: "Dare to ask Madame, but people here?" Is it the hostess here? ”

The young woman hurriedly returned the salute and said softly, "Lord Jin, the little girl is polite here!" ”

"Excuse me, excuse you, who are you? What to do here? Jin Shan asked.

"Adult, the little girl lives here, and Bao Fa is in charge."

When Jin Shan heard it, he felt that there was something in the words, and in fact, he was in charge with a tone of disdain, but he didn't say it explicitly, worried that the wall had ears and would pass the word to Bao Fa.

"Looks like you have something on your mind?" Jin Shan asked, and after asking, Jin Shan regretted it a little, he was worried that saying this would affect her.

"Lord Jin, the people's daughter heard that the adult is an upright official, upright, smart and wise, and handles the case quickly and accurately, and the people are satisfied."

When Jin Shan heard this, he became more and more suspicious, and when he saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, he didn't ask again when he knew what was going on.

The woman was not very reluctant, and she was also avoiding Jin Shan's question, as if there was something unspeakable.

Her demeanor is very unnatural, but it is difficult to hide her elegant posture, her demeanor is more Bao Fa, and she is quiet, compared with Bao Fa, Bao Fa is equivalent to a toad, she is a swan. The toad's manners are disgusting, and the swan's casual gestures are all elegant, which is really different in comparison.

Jin Shan didn't want to lose this opportunity, so he saw that there was no one around, so he had the courage to say, "Madam, dare to ask if you have something to tell you?" Isn't it inconvenient? Have you ever been threatened and afraid to denounce it? Madam, if there is any secret, you can tell the official, and if it is difficult to solve, the official will definitely administer justice for you. ”

The woman frowned, didn't speak, looked at him left and right, didn't answer positively, just observed.

She pondered for a moment, looked left and right, then looked down at her feet, did not speak, and after a long while, she slowly and slowly said, "No, no, the little woman is rude." Retire here, retire here. ”

She left quickly, her eyes looking away, Jin Shan inadvertently found that there were tears in the corners of her eyes, crystal clear, and she didn't have time to wipe them off, so she quickly left.

She left in a gust of wind, leaving Jin Shan messy in the wind, at a loss, like an eagle hanging high in the sky, her eyes were carefully examined.

He returned to the living room, just after Bao Fa was resting, he hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile on his face: "My lord, how about going out for a walk just now?" ”

When Jin Shan looked at it, he was sure that he didn't find a conversation with his wife, so he said: "Very good, I found a lot of inscriptions, it seems that you like to collect them very much." ”

"That's right, the little one grew up in a poor family, no money, nothing at home, nothing at home, so hungry, there is no way, some things are pawned, and you can exchange something to eat, if there is no thing, you can't change food, only hungry, so, I have known the importance of things since I was a child, and they can be exchanged for food, and they will not starve to death." Bao Fa said.

"That's right, you're doing the right thing, if you don't have a collection, these things might be destroyed, it's a pity." Jin Shan said.

"This official has something unclear, and I don't know whether to say it or not." Jin Shan said.

"Of course, let's talk, let's talk, it's good to hear." Bao Fa said.

"It's just that there are so many rare treasures in the house, and it costs a lot of money to collect them, so it's not easy, right? Even if you find these collections, it's very difficult, right? Jin Shan asked.

"Yes. It's not easy. Look for treasures everywhere. Bao Fa said.

"And how do you do it?" Jin Shan asked.

"Haha, haha, adults don't know, now, now I have money, and if I have money, I can make ghosts push the grind, and I can also let the grind push the ghosts. As long as you are willing to spend money, is there anything you can't do? No, as long as you are willing to spend money, there is nothing that cannot be done. Bao said.

"I see! It seems that you have indeed spent a lot of money, energy and time to make a collection, and your collection is a museum, so many, it is estimated that it is difficult to find it in the world. You've reached the pinnacle of your career. Jin Shan said.

"It's easy to do, because I'm rich! If you have money, you can buy it, no matter how expensive it is, you can afford it, and if you give enough money, or even more, it will be easy to get. All those who don't want to talk about money are the ones who love money the most, and without money, it is difficult to do things, and it is difficult to move an inch. This is the actual situation now. Bao said.
