Chengcheng County, Zhixian Yamen.

Liang Shixian was frowning and looking at the two men in the hall.

The two men had just been twisted into the hall by a shopkeeper who accused them of stealing two steamed buns from the shop.

If it was in previous years, such a trivial matter as stealing steamed buns, Liang Shixian would not be too lazy to open the hall, just just fight a few boards and throw them out.

But now that the grain is soaring, the rice can already be sold for dry money, two steamed buns, that is a huge amount of money, and it is no longer suitable to play two boards casually, I am afraid that it will be counted as "thief and theft", and the crime of thief and theft can almost be dealt with according to "beheading".

But.....

Is it really appropriate to decapitate two steamed buns after stealing them?

Liang Shixian felt that it was inappropriate, but he didn't know how to judge this case, so he was entangled with the idea that "the more difficult it is for the people, the more rampant the theft!" Alas! ”

The master came over from the side and said in a low voice: "Dong Weng, you can't keep delaying it, how you should judge, how you want to judge." ”

Liang Shixian's face darkened: "This case is ........"

The two were struggling, and a scribe walked in from outside, Liang Shixian didn't know him, but a servant next to him recognized it: "Ah, Mr. Wang from Chengcheng Bookstore." ”

Mr. Wang hugged his fist at Liang Shixian: "Lord County, I am the owner of Chengcheng Bookstore, surnamed Wang" I used to teach in Chengcheng County, everyone called me Mr. Wang, I passed by here just now, and I saw that Lord County Zun was annoyed, can you let me talk about a solution next?" ”

Liang Shixian was struggling, someone came to give advice, of course it was excellent, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Wang, please speak." ”

Mr. Wang said: "Killing people for two steamed buns hurts the peace of the heavens, but if you don't punish them severely, I am afraid that the bitter lord will not accept ......."

What he said was exactly what Liang Shixian was struggling with.

Mr. Wang: "Why don't you deal with it like this, and you can pay a sum of money to repay the bitter master for these two thieves, and the bitter master will be calm." And the two thieves were escorted to the bookstore below, and they were responsible for carrying the books, cleaning, and using labor to repay the two steamed buns, and the thieves were punished. ”

Liang Shixian was overjoyed when he mentioned this: "This plan is very good, but I just wronged Mr." ”

Mr. Wang smiled and said: "No grievance, no grievance, in the bookstore, I really need some manpower, two steamed buns, and hire two workers to work for a few days, and I am very happy to work in Xia." ”

Liang Shixian nodded: "Then it depends on Mr.'s plan." ”

He solved a headache at once, and his heart was very happy, and he waved his hand to the official next to him: "Take these two people to Mr. Lord's bookstore, and order them to work hard, and if they are lazy and lazy, they will be arrested and beheaded." ”

Mr. Wang made a salute, paid the bitter lord two steamed buns, and walked away.

Liang Shixian raised his head and sighed lightly: "The method proposed by Mr. Wang just now is really the best way to solve the thieves, but this method needs to have enough money, otherwise, where can we feed so many thieves." ”

The criminals of the Ming Dynasty were generally locked in prison waiting to be beheaded. If you don't need to behead the crime, you will get dozens of strokes of the rod and thousands of miles, anyway, you won't be locked up for a long time, because the imperial court doesn't have it, and it supports so many criminals.

Liang Shixian actually has a lot of complaints about this, but he is also powerless.

was sad about the spring and autumn here, Master Shaoxing stepped forward and said in a low voice: "By the way, seeing Mr. Wang reminds me of one thing." ”

Liang Shixian: "What's the matter?" ”

Master Shaoxing said in a low voice: "In the past few days, Chengcheng Bookstore is selling a strange villain book, the selling price is one copper coin, and the person who buys the book can give two taels of flour. ”

When Liang Shixian heard this, he was stunned, and only after a few seconds did he say: "A copper coin, a book, and two or two sides of the industry."

Isn't this soup soup for the people?

Master Shaoxing said in a low voice: "Yes, it is no different from soup kitchen, many people in the city have benefited, and they are playing behind the landlord's back, Mr. Wang is a good owner, but if this continues, I am afraid that I will lose all my family funds, and the bookstore may not be open for a few days and will close down." ”

Liang Shixian sighed: "Is it just to save the people?" Alas....... after you say this, the official is interested in the books he sells. ”

Master Shaoxing pulled it out of his sleeve and took out a copy.

Liang Shixian was stunned: "You actually have it?" ”

Master Shaoxing's old face was slightly red: "Let Dong Weng see a smile, and his wife also went to buy a book.......

Liang Shixian was stunned, and understood that the price of doumi could not even bear the income of the master's level

How many of the people in Chengcheng County can afford to buy food? How good is that? Alas!

Liang Shixian was in a low mood, took the book from his master's hand, and swept the cover with his eyes.

Hey?

The Dao Xuan Tianzun icon on the cover attracted his attention.

Where does this immortal seem to have seen the face of this fairy?

Look at the words next to it, "Dao Xuan Tianzun Exterminating Demons".

Dao Xuan Tianzun?

The name is also a little impressive.

Gotta think about it!

Liang Shixian, who was rich in five cars, immediately turned on the memory search mode in his mind, the things he had seen in his life, the scenes he had experienced, the books he had read, and the gods and Buddhas he had worshipped, as if he had crossed his mind like a marquee, and finally stopped on a towering fort with a "ding" sound.

In Lijiabao in Gaojia Village, in the ancestral hall on the first floor of the watchtower, there is a family god enshrined, and the name of the family god is called "Daoxuan Tianzun", and the face of the statue is exactly the same as the cover of the album in his hand.

Liang Shixian had a bottom in his heart, and then slowly opened the book in his hand, it turned out to be an atlas, he turned page by page, read it very quickly, and the story in the book became clear.

The story outside the book is also clear.

Liang Shixian said in a low voice: "This official understands. ”

Shaoxing Master Daqi: "What does Dong Weng understand?" ”

Liang Shixian said: "Behind this Mr. Wang, the Li family is supporting him. For more than a year, the Li family has been supplying food to the official and handing it over to the official to give porridge to save the people, but this has only helped the official to gain a reputation as a clean official, but the Li family has not reaped any benefits, and now the Li family has decided to end up in person. ”

Master Shaoxing: "Hey? Isn't his Li family a hidden family? What's the use of fighting for fame? The more famous you are, the more you can't hide behind the scenes. ”

Liang Shixian said: "So they didn't promote the Li family, but moved out of the ancestor of the Li family, the family god, Li Daoxuan of the Tang Dynasty clan!" At the same time of giving porridge to save the people, take out their own family gods and sing them loudly, if this story is made up enough and put the family gods in the shrines of all Taoist temples in the world, it will not be a glorious ancestor. ”

Master Shaoxing suddenly realized: "I see, Dong Weng is still thoughtful, and I didn't expect it at all." ”

Liang Shixian: "This story is made up in a mess, it's not worth watching, but the Li family is doing good deeds, so what's the harm in making up a fairy story?" Let them make it up as they please, as long as they can give food to the people, even if they make up all the officials into the story, they will be happy. ”
