The prefectural magistrate looked at the young man kneeling in the hall, "......"

It's a terrible feeling to be forced to work overtime.

The county magistrate sat back helplessly, straightened his official hat, cleared his throat, and then patted the hall in surprise and asked, "Who is in the hall, what is the so-called thing?" ”

And Song Huan and Fu Yuanzhi also took advantage of everyone's failure to react and got into the first row of the audience.

Fu Yuanzhi looked down at Song Huan holding his hand, soft as boneless, but also with a thin layer of cocoons.

The heat passed from his hands, and Fu Yuanzhi only felt that his ears were hot, and he was afraid that he was about to smoke.

At this time, Gao Dalang had already explained his origin clearly.

The prefectural commander asked again, "Then why do you want this official to be the master for you?" ”

Gao Dalang then told what happened, "The villain heard the shouting of the merchant who sold the jade bracelet on the street, he carried a small wooden frame, the jade bracelet was hung on it, he shouted while walking, the villain wanted to buy a bracelet to go home and give it to his family, who knew that because he ran too fast, he just turned out of the courtyard wall, and the merchant who sold the jade bracelet collided with him, and the merchant and the small wooden frame on his back were all knocked to the ground. ”

"When the merchant untied the wooden frame on his back, the wooden frame and the ground were full of fragments, and not a single complete jade bracelet was gone."

The villain knew that he had hit the catastrophe, and the villain was willing to pay for it, but the merchant said that there were 300 jade bracelets, and he wanted the villain to pay 30 taels of silver. The villain looked at those fragments, where can there be three hundred jade bracelets, isn't this trying to deceive people? So the villain wants to ask the adults to help the villain break off. ”

The prefectural magistrate said, "What about the merchant?" The heir brought the merchant up. ”

The merchant's clothes were a little disheveled, and he was carrying a bag on his back, which was obviously a fragment of the jade bracelet.

I saw him kneeling under the hall with a bitter face.

The county magistrate directly ordered the merchant to spread out the broken bracelet and let the big guy take a look.

The merchant obediently spread out the broken bracelet.

The county magistrate took a closer look and said directly, "Are you sure this is the amount of three hundred?" You can only hang sixty or seventy wooden shelves at most, right? ”

The merchant's eyes shrank, and then he said, "My lord, the villain should be damned!" The villain shouldn't lie to him, but there are one hundred and fifty of them! ”

Standing in Song Huan's position, you can see the merchant's eyes flickering, obviously, he still didn't tell the truth.

At this time, Gao Dalang also pleaded and shouted, "My lord, there will never be one hundred and fifty of them!" ”

Gao Dalang looked at the merchant and said angrily, "It's all here, you still don't tell the truth!" ”

The merchant was unmoved, fell to the ground, and said directly, "My lord! The villain didn't lie, there are really one hundred and fifty! ”

For a moment, the two sides were at a stalemate.

The prefectural magistrate didn't think of any good way to solve it for a while.

At this time, Fu Yuanzhi said something to Song Huan, Song Huan took a fixed look at the broken jade bracelet on the ground, and then walked out of the crowd and left.

After Fu Yuanzhi waited for Song Huan to leave, he took the opportunity to bow to the county order in the hall and said, "My lord, there is a way to identify how many broken bracelets there are. ”

The county magistrate looked at Fu Yuan's Confucian shirt and boots under his feet, and knew that he was at least a Xiucai, and his expression was disturbed from the beginning to return to normal, "Who is this?" ”

Fu Yuanzhi put the document he was carrying in the palm of his hand, and when the official on the side saw this, he stepped forward to take the document and handed it to the county order.

When the county magistrate saw it, a trace of surprise crossed his eyes, and then he smiled and gave the documents back to the officer, and after Fu Yuanzhi put the documents away, the county magistrate asked, "What good ideas does Fu Xiaolian have?" ”

Fu Yuanzhi bowed, and then said, "The student's method has to wait for someone to come back, it won't be long, and the adults can rest for a while during this time." ”

The county magistrate nodded, "Then wait for Fu Xiaolian's arrangement." ”

In a quarter of an hour, Song Huan came back, only to see her salute the county magistrate, and then handed something wrapped in a handkerchief to Fu Yuanzhi.

Fu Yuanzhi bowed to the county order and said, "My lord, can the student ask the merchant a few questions?" ”

The county order waved his hand.

Fu Yuanzhi opened the things in his hand, and a jade bracelet that was similar to that sold by the merchant appeared in his hand, he walked up to the merchant and said, "Take a closer look, is this jade bracelet in my hand not much different from the jade bracelet you sold before?" ”

The merchant couldn't understand Fu Yuanzhi's operation for a while, and after only taking a closer look left and right, he nodded honestly, "Almost." ”

Fu Yuanzhi asked again, "The size is about the same?" ”

The merchant nodded.

Fu Yuanzhi confirmed again, "You take it, see if the feel and weight are also close?" ”

The merchant was confused, took the jade bracelet, touched the jade bracelet perfunctorily, weighed it again, and nodded.

The county magistrate is also the same as the merchant at this time, he doesn't know what Fu Yuanzhi is going to do, but he is a county magistrate, of course he can't be so ignorant, even if he has doubts in his heart, he can't ask at the moment.

Fu Yuanzhi nodded with satisfaction, and bowed directly to the county order, "My lord, the student said hello, you can proceed to the next step." ”

The county commander nodded with a look of "I understand, I am satisfied".

God knows, he's just pretending to be on his own.

Fu Yuanzhi said again, "Can I borrow something from adults?" ”

The county commander nodded, "Fu Xiaolian just said." ”

"Scales." Fu Yuanzhi said.

The county commander waved his hand, and the official immediately went down and brought up the scales.

At this point, the county order can be regarded as understanding the meaning behind Fu Yuanzhi.

Only regretted in his heart, why didn't he think of it!

It must have been Li San's case that made his brain not react all of a sudden.

Next, we will apply the division of the four operations that we learned in elementary school.

Total weight÷ unit weight = total number of pieces

Under the consternation of the merchant, Fu Yuanzhi derived the number of jade bracelets from a pile of broken jade bracelets.

There is no need to put it together, you just need to simply weigh the total weight of the broken bracelet and the weight of the individual bracelet, and then perform the calculation to get the result.

As a result, sixty-three jade bracelets.

The county commander said sharply to the merchant, "You dare to deceive this official!" ”

The merchant was really scared this time, the whole person trembled on the ground, panicked, and said straight in his mouth, "The villain is fascinated by ghosts for a while, ghosts are confused, and please forgive the villain!" ”

So many people watched, saying forgiveness, forgiveness, what is the prestige of the county order, this chicken is "killed"!

The county order directly ordered Gao Dalang to return the sixty-two jade bracelets and silver coins to the merchant.

But because the merchant deceived the county order, he finally got 20 boards as punishment.

According to the merchant's shouting price of 300 and 30 taels at the beginning, it is calculated as a bracelet of 100 yuan.

Sixty-two bracelets are six thousand two hundred wen.

Gao Dalang had a bitter face, he could get the two hundred wen, but he couldn't take out six taels of silver!

In the end, Fu Yuanzhi lent it to Gao Dalang, and then he lost the money.

Of course, Gao Dalang can't suffer a loss, the money is lost, seeing that the merchant didn't plan to give him the broken bracelet, he directly snatched it over, glared and said, "Even if I bought it!" ”

Merchant, "......"

Before the merchant had anything to say, he was dragged down by the official to hit the board.

Gao Dalang is a young and strong young man, otherwise Uncle Gao would not let him follow his friends in the same village to work part-time.

Gao Dalang was especially grateful to Fu Yuanzhi for his help, and only said that he would ask his father to pay back the money when he went home.

Fu Yuanzhi smiled, "It's okay, let's count it when we leave Changliu Village, this money will be used to deduct the rent, and there will be a surplus." ”

Gao Dalang was a little embarrassed on his face, but he was bitter in his heart.

His father was able to rent the house to Brother Fu at the beginning, but they valued the rent of those few taels, but now it's good, it's all gone for him, and it's not good to live in, so he has to pay for it.

Just think about it, his leg hurts.
