There is a Xiucai named Gu Wenming at the entrance of Yadong Street in Gongtan County, northern Xinjiang, China, who is full of learning and writes good articles, but his family is poor, and he relies on Xiucai to make shoes and set up a shoe stall at the door of his house to make two money. This time for the imperial imperial examination, Gu Wenming wanted to go to the capital to catch the exam, but he borrowed from all over the place, and he couldn't make up enough to entangle, seeing that the date of the imperial examination was getting closer and closer, Gu Wenming was so anxious that he was going crazy!

In the afternoon of this day, it was almost dusk, Gu Wenming, who had been running around for a day to borrow money and returned empty-handed, went home dejectedly, passing by the opposite side of the county office, and saw a group of people surrounding a hexagram stall, and the owner of the hexagram stall, Hu Banxian, was spitting on fortune telling for people.

This Hu Banxian is not a simple character in the local area, his real name is Hu Chuankui, he is very good at "putting the spring" (observing words and looking at the color), the customer's mind can be guessed by him to be eight or nine without leaving ten, relying on the three-inch tongue, "good luck and misfortune" nonsense, will "turn over the cylinder and stack the pestle" (set up a chain set), blind a lot of people, cheat a lot of money, and then eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, life is like a fairy, so people are called "Hu Banxian".

Gu Wenming is a scholar, he originally didn't believe in Hu Banxian's fooling people, but Hao, now that the scientific examination is imminent, there is no entanglement on the road, he is desperate, his heart is like being pulled by a ghost, squeezed through the crowd, walked over, took out ten coppers from his pocket, and asked Hu Chuankui to calculate his "fortune" for him.

Hu Chuankui knew that Gu Wenming's family was so poor that he couldn't "turn over the pestle" to him, so he used vague words and wanted to send him away. Who knows, Gu Wenming is obsessed with "wealth" today, and he must break the casserole to ask the end, so that Hu Chuanmei can calculate when and where he can "get rich".

Hu Chuankui's heart was so impatient, he sneered, stretched out two fingers, and pretended to say mysteriously: "In the middle of the night tonight, there is a brick hole on the wall of the second bridge hole in the north of the east moat bridge, and there is a big silver ingot inside!"

"Really?"

"I don't believe it, what kind of hexagram did you come to me for? You are not welcome here in this half-immortal, hurry up, bad luck!"

As soon as he saw that Hu Chuanmei was angry and had already said this, Gu Wenming hurriedly said: "That Hu Banxian, I don't believe it, I just want to make sure, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! You're busy, you're busy, I'll go, I'll go!" Gu Wenming hurriedly apologized, then frowned, and left happily.

No one is counting the hexagram anymore, and the hour is not early, Hu Chuankui was about to put away his hexagram stall and go happily, at this time, I saw a middle-aged man with a big belly pacing from the county office, who is it?

Yin Hongyun has been the criminal master of Gongtan County for more than ten years, this person is good at slapping horses, flattery, sleek, and very important to the two county orders, so he is bold, holding the lawsuit, bending the law with favoritism, accepting bribes, and secretly accumulating ill-gotten wealth behind the county master's back.

Hu Chuanmei and Yin Hongyun are a kind of relationship between each other to help each other, and it has always been extraordinary, because they are not sure of winning or losing the lawsuit, many "bitter masters" who are fighting lawsuits, before the petition, have to find Hu Chuankui to give Bu a hexagram to test the fierceness and good fortune of their lawsuits this time.

Hu Chuankui took this opportunity to find out the hidden twists and turns of the bitter master, and then secretly reported the "information" to Yin Hongyun, the famous criminal master in the county government, who firmly pinched the "soft underbelly" of the bitter master in his capacity as the master, and then carried out extortion; Yin Hongyun "notified" Hu Chuankui of the outcome of the lawsuit in advance, so as to increase Hu Chuankui's "hit rate" of divination.

Yin Hongyun and Hu Chuankui can be said to be in collusion, a nest of snakes and rats, and they are embarrassed!

No, I saw Yin Hongyun holding his back with his hand, looking at the sky, looking like no one in his eyes, he paced the figure-eight steps, and came to Hu Chuankui's hexagram stall leisurely.

Seeing that the people saw him like a mouse seeing a cat, Yin Hongyun was in a good mood, he glanced at Gu Wenming's back that had gone away, and began to ask Hu Chuankui: "What is Gu Wenming doing here?"

Hu Chuankui pursed his lips disdainfully and said: "Hey, Master Yin, you don't know, Gu Wenming is so poor and sour, he is simply dizzy, he came to me to tell the fortune and ask him when he will get the money!" Then, he attached it to Yin Hongyun's ear and told Yin Hongyun what had happened, and after saying it like this, he finally sold a pass and said: "Master Yin, I won't say it yet, you just wait to see a good show tomorrow!"

After Yin Hongyun listened, his eyes rolled straight up, this guy started to think crookedly, and he already had a draft of the "lawsuit" against framing Xiucai Gu Wenming in his stomach.

You don't know, the author is here to explain, although this Gu Wenming is poor, he is a nerd, his body is not diligent, he is not divided into grains, his shoulders cannot be resisted, and his hands cannot be lifted, but he is very full of a sense of justice, he likes to be nosy, and has repeatedly engaged in tit-for-tat pen and ink contests with Yin Hongyun, the master, for the sake of the wronged people, to support the people, therefore, the two of them, water and fire are incompatible, and have long formed a "Liangzi", moreover, Gu Wenming's lady Yuan Xiuhua is in charge of housework, virtuous and beautiful, and is recognized by everyone"Virtuous help".

The lustful Yin Hongyun fell in love with Yuan Xiuhua's beauty, and went to tease and rub oil several times, and was scolded by Yuan Xiuhua so much that he was bloody, so Yin Hongyun was angry and jealous of Gu Wenming.

There are two plum blossoms, and one branch.

When Yin Hongyun came home on this day, it was already the time to hold the lamp, he came to the study, took out a silver ingot as big as a steamed bun from the silver cabinet, put it on the bookcase, and locked the silver cabinet.

Of course, Yin Hongyun will definitely not be kind to Gu Wenming, his silver ingot, the appearance is a layer of silver skin, but the inside is lead, called "lead silver".

Recently, in Gongtan County, there have been repeated cases of fraud with lead tire silver, and the county yamen has confiscated several lead tire silver, but the scammer has not been caught, Yin Hongyun took advantage of his position to secretly get back a lead tire silver from the county government, and now it has finally come in handy. This insidious guy, his ghost idea is: put this lead tire silver in the bridge hole, and let the pedantic Gu Wenming pick it up, Gu Wenming will definitely take this "silver ingot" the next day and exchange it for broken silver in the pawnshop, now, the pawnshop shopkeeper is extremely vigilant, and he will be able to see through this lead tire silver, and send Gu Wenming to the county hall to eat a lawsuit, hmph, at that time, Gu Wenming can't clear his mind even if he jumps into the Yellow River, and he is entangled in lawsuits, he can still jump out of the palm of Yin Hongyun's "Buddha"? Can his beautiful lady Yuan Xiuhua not throw herself into her arms to save her husband?

Yin Hongyun was about to carry the lead tire silver into his arms, but his stomach was tight, and he hurriedly trotted to the toilet. After a while, Yin Hongyun lifted his pants and returned to the study, but saw a dark shadow from a distance, coming out of the direction of his study, and his heart tightened: "Not good, my silver!" was about to run back to the study, but met his own account Mr. Liu Gang walked out of the study. After Mr. Liu Gang saw Yin Hongyun, he lowered his hand and whispered: "Master, just now a big family Li Ronghao came, I received him, and according to the old rules, I ...... according to the old rules."

Yin Hongyun let go of his worries at this time, he thought about the good things with Gu Wenming's wife, and casually "hmm", waved his hand and sent Mr. Liu Gang away.

Back in the study, Yin Hongyun put the silver on the desk into his arms, opened the back corner door, trotted under the bridge of the moat, and got into the second bridge hole.

Unexpectedly, before Yin Hongyun could retract his hand, his hand was as painful as his heart, and he hurriedly pulled out his hand, and brought out a big white snake! Yin Hongyun shook his hand again and again, threw the big white snake into the river, and then ran home like crazy......

It was only said that on the second day, after Hu Chuankui "took up his post", he glanced straight at Gu's house out of the corner of his eyes, wanting to see Gu Wenming's good show of being bitten by a snake -- he already knew that there was a white-flowered poisonous snake in the bridge hole under the moat! His purpose was to teach this poor scholar a good lesson! But seeing that the Gu family was as usual, Yuan Xiuhua, a talented woman, opened the door and set up a shoe stall as always, and a pair of children of the two of them were playing on the side, and then saw Gu Wenming go out of the house, shaking his two hands, and walking briskly to the downtown area.

Hey, could it be that this poor sour didn't dare to go under the moat last night? Just when Hu Chuankui was stunned, he saw Gu Wenming coming straight to his hexagram stall. Isn't it noisy to settle accounts?

Hu Chuankui was nervous for a while, but who knew that Gu Wenming came to his hexagram stall, carrying a string of firecrackers in his hand, and put them up with a "crackling", attracting many people to come over to watch the excitement.

Gu Wenming was excited, his eyebrows fluttered, patting the blanket around his waist, and shouting loudly to everyone: "Hu Banxian is not a half-immortal, but a living immortal!" In this way, he told him about the fortune telling yesterday, "I followed Hu Banxian's instructions, and went to the moat bridge when I was a child, and came to the second bridge hole to dig out, and there was really a big silver ingot! Early this morning, I went to Rongtai Pawnshop to inspect it, and the goods were genuine......!

Everyone listened to the book of heaven, and their mouths opened wider, and Hu Chuankui's mouth opened even wider: "Oh my God, what's going on?"

At this moment, there was a sensation all over the street.

Hu Chuankui's hexagram stall was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and everyone scrambled to let him divinate and tell fortunes.

This one shouted: "Immortal Hu, calculate for me when my mother's illness will be cured?" The one called: "Immortal Hu, calculate for me when my lost child will come back?" ......

The scheming Hu Chuankui didn't figure out what kind of medicine Gu Wenming's gourd was selling? He thought that this Xiucai deliberately took revenge on him like this, and although everyone was waiting in a long line for him to tell his fortune, he did not dare to take the business. He wants to get one of the quasi-"springs", not only can he not fall for Gu Xiucai's plan, but he can also fool everyone.

At this moment, a woman came from outside the crowd, crying and crying, saying that her family had encountered a catastrophe and an unfortunate thing, and asked Hu Chuankui, a "living immortal", to help calculate the good fortune and take a way to deal with the disaster.

Hu Chuankui recognized at a glance that this woman with pear blossoms and rain was Liu Juhua, the little lady newly married by Master Yin Hongyun, and his brain was agitated, and he understood: "It must be that after Master Yin heard that there was a big silver in the bridge and hole under the moat yesterday, he took it seriously and grabbed the lead of Xiucai Gu Wenming!

Hu Chuankui found a "breakthrough", pushed everyone away again and again, and asked Liu Juhua to step forward: "There is an emergency, human life is at stake, this lady has a critical matter in her family, let Ben Banxian calculate it for her first!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Your husband went out last night and went east. Isn't that right?"

"Yes, yes, yes. The dead man went out of the corner door by himself, and asked him, but he said nothing. Liu Juhua replied repeatedly.

Hu Chuan pretended to pinch his fingers and shouted: "Oh, it's not good, this little lady, your husband is offending the White Snake Fairy......"

Liu Juhua slapped her face and shouted: "That's right, you are really a living immortal! That dead ghost is lying on the bed calling at this time, and I don't know if I can come back to life." Daxian, go to my house to drive away evil spirits!"

When I came to the inner room of Yin's house, I saw Yin Hongyun lying on the bed and humming.

Don't tell lies in front of real people, Yin Hongyun poured beans into a bamboo tube to Hu Chuankui about his snake bite last night, and said that last night, he ran home as if he was dead, and immediately called his family to invite a snake doctor, and the snake doctor cut off his three fingers, otherwise his life would not be guaranteed!

Hu Chuangui said in confusion: "Master Yin, this is not right, that Xiucai Gu Wenming said that he also went under the bridge of the moat last night, and this morning he exchanged real silver at Rongtai Pawnshop! Could it be that the shopkeeper of Rongtai Pawnshop was dazzled? This is unlikely, that shopkeeper, but be careful, I have seen with my own eyes that when he inspected the silver, he either bit it with his teeth, or knocked it with a wooden stone, or even burned it with fire, and then put it in a basin of water and brought it to the sun to ......shine on it."

When Master Yin Hongyun heard this, his fingers didn't hurt anymore, he got up from the bed, his eyes were like copper bells, he thought about it for a long time, and suddenly remembered that he met Mr. Liu Gang at the door of the study last night, and hurriedly called Liu Gang over and asked him why he came to the study last night?

Liu Gang replied: "Master, didn't I tell you all last night, Li Ronghao of Ximen is fighting for the ancestral tomb, please help, and I sent you a silver ingot of fifty taels last night, and I put it on your desk according to the old rules you set......

"No, what about the original silver ingots on the desk?" Yin Hongyun asked sharply.

Liu Gang looked dazed and said, "Master, when the villain goes in, there is nothing on your desk!"

Where is Yin Hongyun willing to believe, he insisted that the silver ingots were stolen by Liu Gang, and Liu Gang cried out for injustice. When the quarrel was raging, Liu Juhua broke into the door suddenly, with a crying voice, pulled Yin Hongyun's arm and said: "Boss, it's not good, it's not good, my brother Liu Tao was twisted to the county government hall by the shopkeeper of Rongtai Pawnshop just now, saying that he used lead tire silver fraud." You...... You go to the county lord to protect him!"

Yin Hongyun and Hu Chuankui looked at each other: "Nine times out of ten, the bend in this matter is out of Liu Tao!"

Sure enough, Master Yin Hongyun came to the county hall with his arms hanging, and the county magistrate pointed to Liu Tao, who was slumped to the ground, with a frosty face, glared at him, and said: "Yin Hongyun, you came just in time, this is your brother-in-law, right? He has confessed, saying that he lost money in gambling with others, and slipped into your study last night, and stole a silver ingot on your desk. The county asks you, where does your lead tire silver come from?"

At this point, Yin Hongyun finally understood everything!

Yesterday there was indeed a black shadow who stole his silver, and it was his brother-in-law! It just so happened that the master put another ingot and really went back! But how could he recognize this lead-tired silver, so he had to ruthlessly refuse to "recognize" his brother-in-law, and gritted his teeth and said that Liu Tao lied, and he didn't open the study door at all last night!

Tang Hai, the magistrate of the county, had always been filled with ecstasy soup by his master Yin Hongyun, so he believed his words and ordered the officials to beat Liu Tao to the point that his skin was broken and he died.

Seeing the miserable appearance of his brother-in-law crying for his father and calling his mother, Yin Hongyun was so distressed that he trembled, and he was so depressed that he was uncomfortable, so he said to Tang Hai, the magistrate: "My lord, Liu Tao lost money because of gambling and used lead fetal silver to defraud, it can be seen that all evil gambling is the head, and those who gamble with him should also be severely punished, and the gambling style cannot be long!"

"Reasonable, reasonable!" Tang Hai, the magistrate of the county, was shocked, "Liu Tao, who won your money?"

Liu Tao pursed his lips and said with tears in his eyes: "It's Hu Chuankui, the fortune teller opposite the Yamen......"

"Come on, quickly catch Hu Chuankui, hit the forty boards, and show the public for three days!"

Hu Chuankui was afraid of self-preservation, and told all about his and his master Yin Hongyun for so many years!

Tang Hai, the magistrate of the county, was so angry that he threw the order and signed it, and the master Yin Hongyun was punished together!

Yin Hongyun was stunned for a while............

Just as Hu Chuankui and Yin Hongyun were tied up by the officials and beaten to the county government with water and fire sticks, they saw Xiucai Gu Wenming carrying a blanket on his waist, riding a high-headed horse, and the sound of hooves "clanged" out of the city gate and went to the capital to try......

After Tong Qing (clone) heard about the fake silver fraud case in Gongtan County, he immediately ordered a thorough investigation, and soon solved the case, which turned out to be another "masterpiece" of the female devil Yu Die'er, which harmed the financial order of the world.

After the case was cracked, all the criminals involved in the case were escorted to the Beijing Imperial Gate for trial, including Yin Hongyun and Hu Chuankui.
