Chapter 14 Boiling water to boil money
"My lord, are you calling me?" Chen Wenqi stopped and asked back.
"That's right, this county wants to say a few words to Childe. Wu Wei's expression was a little embarrassed.
The county magistrate wanted to talk to Chen Wenqi, but Shen Lingshan, Weng Junding and the others didn't know whether to wait or go, which was quite difficult.
"What about them?" Chen Wenqi pointed at Shen Lingshan and them.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Since it is "okay", walking without losing their companions, Shen Lingshan and the others are also standing on the spot.
Wu Wei led everyone to a side room at the back of the public hall, and did not invite them to sit down, and said directly to Chen Wenqi: "This county wants to ask, seeing that you are all polite and polite, could it be that you are the scholars who participated in this autumn festival?"
"Exactly. What advice does Lord Wu have?"
"Don't dare, just ask. Wu Wei's attitude is more humble, because he knows that among these scholars, as long as Qiu Yu is on the list, he is a person, and winning the promotion also means that one foot has stepped into the official career, and even if he fails to pass the test in the future, he will have the opportunity to be a school official and a county magistrate. And if someone takes the middle school examination and the palace examination again, the future is even more limitless, and maybe he will become his top boss overnight, so how dare you hold it up?
Chen Wenqi knew that the county magistrate stopped him and the others, not to talk a few words, there must be something and it was difficult to speak, so he took the initiative to say: "Lord Wu, please speak up if you have anything to say." ”
"Oh. How could Gongzi Shicai think that there are words on the reverse side of the cloth to earn the blind man?" Wu Wei asked curtly.
Chen Wenqi let out an "oh", pointed at Shen Lingshan and said, "Don't hide it, it's this Yang Gongzi who reminded me." ”
"Young Master Yang?" Wu Wei turned to Shen Lingshan in surprise and arched his hand and said, "This county has eyes that don't know gold and jade. Since it was Yang Gongzi secretly reminding, please advise one or two. ”
Shen Lingshan couldn't help it, glared at Chen Wenqi with disgust, and said, "As the saying goes, being a thief is weak-hearted. Those who are weak-hearted will definitely do everything possible to find some 'evidence' to prove that they are not thieves, and the result will naturally become darker and darker. When the blind man told Master Wu how many layers of the cloth there was this 'evidence', Chen Gongzi and I immediately understood that he was 'Li Ghost', but to debunk him, he had to make him speechless, so Chen Gongzi made up the word 'Zhao' out of nothing and forced the blind man to show his original form. This is all Chen Gongzi's urgency, and it has nothing to do with being in the bottom. ”
"Hehe, it seems that the two of you are bright for a while, and no one has to be modest. Wu Wei said admiringly.
Speaking of which, in this move, he is suspected of being disabled, and Yu De is at a loss. Chen Wenqi blamed himself.
"Childe, don't do that. The blind man who has no shame and deceives people with money deserves retribution. If he doesn't show his flaws, how can he repay the young man's justice?" Wu Wei exonerated Chen Wenqi.
"Soldiers, treacherous. However, whenever a case is questioned and tried, all possibilities must be exhausted, and the truth will be revealed and fairness will be made to the world. In the past, Bao Zhenggong, who was known as 'Qingtian', often judged the yang by day and the yin by night, all of which used strange means to attract people, so that the evil was subdued and justice was revealed. Brother Nian is like entering the official career every day, he should be based on benefiting the people, and he must not abolish the Grand Duke because of his personal morality. Weng Junding said half relieved and half exhortation.
"Brother Weng Nian saw that he suddenly opened his mouth in Xiamao, and Chen was taught. Chen Wenqi said with a wry smile in his heart, he couldn't imagine that he was a little humble, which attracted his grand remarks, which shows that this man is an upright and upright person, and it is not a bad thing to have such a friend.
"The two sons are resourceful, and there is a small case in this county, and I would like to ask the two sons to give advice. Wu Wei didn't care about face, and said loudly.
Chen Wenqi and others were surprised. Although the small county order is only seven grades, it is also an official of the imperial court. Officials all regard the prestige and reputation of officials as more important than life, and even if it is judged to be a wrongful case or an unjust case, there is no precedent for the future generations of grass people. This Wu Wei bent down to seek advice, which shows that his conscience is not clear, and he would rather have his reputation damaged than get the wrong case done. It's just that......
Chen Wenqi and Shen Lingshan didn't speak for a long time, and Wu Wei said again: "Could it be that the two sons are unwilling?"
"It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that I'm not a shallow learner at the lower level, and it's far from being comparable to adults, so I'm afraid that adults will ask questions and be blind. Chen Wenqi voiced his doubts.
Wu Wei was relieved when he heard this, shook his hand and said, "It's okay, let's just refer to it together." ”
Chen Wenqi glanced at Shen Lingshan, and when he saw Shen Lingshan bowing slightly, he admitted: "Since this is the case, do we dare to disobey our fate?" ”
"So, it's ...... at noon today."
It turned out that in the next market of Wangjiang Pavilion, there were two vendors doing their own business side by side. The first on the left is a butcher surnamed Dou Mingfu who sells meat, and the first on the right is a fried dough stick snack surnamed Cao Mingbin. Although the peers are enemies, these two people have different businesses, and of course they are not afraid that the other party will rob their customers, so the two are not only safe and sound, but after a long time, they have become friends.
According to Dou Fu, half a year ago, Dou Fu's father-in-law suddenly suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed. After more than two months of delaying medical consultation, he spent all the savings of the Dou family, which was run by a small capital. But the funeral couldn't be left undone, and in desperation, Dou Fu cautiously opened his mouth to Cao Bin. When Cao Bin heard this, he generously agreed to lend Dou Fu five times. Dou Fu was extremely grateful for the help he received in distress, and hurriedly wrote an IOU, agreeing to return it within half a year. After the funeral of his father-in-law, Dou Fu and his wife were riddled with debts, so they got up early and went to bed late, saved money, and worked hard to make money and save money, and in less than half a year, they had saved more than 4,900 yuan. Before going out this morning, Dou Fu thought that with the money he earned from selling meat today, there should be no problem in repaying Cao Bin's loan, so he wrapped the nearly 5,000 copper coins he had accumulated from selling meat in the past few months in cloth and brought it to the meat stall to start today's business. At about the time of the intersection of the middle of the day and the afternoon, all the pork of a pig was sold. Dou Fu took stock and removed the capital of selling pigs tomorrow, and the remaining money was just enough to make up five times, so he took out the remaining capital, and returned the remaining five times to Cao Bin. At that time, Cao Bin was cleaning up the stove, and the two usually had a good relationship, so when he repaid the money, he was not embarrassed to ask him for an IOU. By the time Cao Bin had tidied up the stove, packed up the noodle bowl and other tools and was ready to go home, he had no intention of returning the IOU. Dou Fu was a little busy, so he asked Cao Bin to return the IOU. When Dou Fu heard this, his scalp immediately became confused, and he knew that something bad was wrong, so he pulled the cloth bag that was placed in Cao Bin's bucket and said Isn't this right? Cao Bin snatched it with his hand, and even said that this is not the case, this is the money I brought to do things, where is your money? The two could not argue, so they pulled and pulled to the county office, and begged the county official to make a clear decision.
According to Cao Bin, when Cao Bin borrowed money from Dou Fu a few months ago, Dou Fu did say that he would return it in half a year and wrote an IOU. Cao Bin has close contacts with Dou Fu on weekdays and has a deep friendship, so he said that there is no need to worry, there is not much money to be made in a small business, and he will not be able to save a lot of spare money for a while, and he will not wait for the money to be used, and it is not too late to save enough. Today, Cao Bin brought some less old noodles than usual, and the fritter business is particularly good, and when all the old noodles brought were fried, Cao Bin hurriedly sealed the stove, cleaned up the utensils, and wanted to do other things. Unexpectedly, Dou Fu actually grabbed the pick and asked for an IOU. Cao Bin said that at the beginning, he was still confused, and he didn't know why he suddenly asked for an IOU, thinking that he wanted to repay the money to me? Later, I finally figured out that Dou Fu said that he had repaid the money, but when did he take his money?
Chen Wenqi thought while listening to Wu Wei's story, and after Wu Wei finished speaking, he almost figured out the idea, but he didn't have any good ideas for a while. While he was groaning, Shen Lingshan said, "Big brother, why don't you listen to the confession of the person concerned first?"
Wu Wei saw that they didn't call it difficult, but wanted to ask the parties, and he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Exactly." Let's go, let's go to the court. ”
Wu Wei sat down behind the public case, slapped the shocked wood, and the officials on both sides slammed the water and fire sticks in their hands to the ground, and shouted in unison: "Might-martial-"
"Dou Fu and Cao Bin, the county will continue to inquire about the loan and repayment of the money that you two have reported. The existing master of the county has something to ask, and the two of you must answer truthfully. After speaking, he made a "please" gesture to Chen Wenqi.
Dare to love Chen Wenqi became the master of Jiangxia County, it is really funny, Shen Lingshan secretly pursed his lips.
Chen Wenqi only pretended not to know, cleared his throat, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is Dou Fu?"
"The grass people are. The man kneeling on the right with big shoulders and a round waist, five big and three thick, replied in a rough voice.
"Oh. So you're Cao Bin?" Chen Wenqi pointed to the man on the left.
"The villain is Cao Bin. ”
"Dou Fu, let me ask you, how many years have you been in this business?" Chen Wenqi asked unhurriedly.
"It's been more than three years since I returned to my master. ”
"When you borrowed money from Cao Bin, did you have any money left at home?"
"I spent all my savings to treat my father-in-law, and when I was doing a funeral for my father-in-law, I had no money left. ”
"That means that it took Cao Bin's five times of money to finish your father-in-law's funeral, and is there any money left after the funeral?"
"Yes, after finishing my father-in-law's funeral, it cost a total of 4,890 wen, and the remaining 110 wen. ”
"You said that you returned the five yuan to Cao Bin today, where did this money come from?" Chen Wenqi walked to the front of the official case, opened the mouth of the bag containing the money, took out a few coins from it, looked at it carefully, and threw it into the bag again.
"It's all earned by killing pigs and selling meat. ”
"After your father-in-law had a stroke, how much did the doctor spend on the medicine?"
"About ...... About eight dollars. "Dou Fu is not very sure.
"Is it more than eight or less than eight?" Chen Wenqi asked.
"It should be less than eight times. ”
"This account can't be calculated," Chen Wenqi questioned: "Even if you have no money left before you do this business, in more than three years, you have only saved eight yuan." And in the four months after your father-in-law's funeral, you have accumulated five copper coins. Is this possible?"
"Yes, that's what I thought below, in just four months, he had accumulated five copper coins, in that case, he should have saved forty or fifty yuan in more than three years. If that's the case, do you still need to borrow money?" Cao Bin echoed.
Dou Fu sighed and said, "My father-in-law has only had one daughter in his life, so he has lived with us for many years. My father-in-law was sick and had been taking medicine for many years, which not only cost a lot of money, but also had to be taken care of by his wife, so he did not have much savings for a few years. After the death of his father-in-law, he saved money on medicine and stones, and his wife did not have to take care of the elderly. In order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, my wife and I get up early and go to bed late, and we only sell 100 catties of pork a day on weekdays, but now we sell 12 or 30 catties of pork a day. And ......" Dou Fu lowered his head when he said this.
"And what?"
"In the past, when my father-in-law was alive, my family had to keep some meat every once in a while to add some meat to the elderly. After my father-in-law died, my wife and I didn't ...... for four months I haven't tasted meat. After Dou Fu finished speaking, the two eye circles turned red.
Chen Wenqi felt uncomfortable for a while, the meat seller didn't know the taste of meat, and life was hard enough. But human favor cannot be greater than Wang Fa, judge right and wrong, and cannot be emotional. Chen Wenqi asked Cao Bin again: "Cao Bin, how many fritters can your fritter stall sell every day?"
"Master Hui, I am thirty catties of noodles every day, and each fritter is about one or two or seven yuan, so the number of fritters sold every day is almost the same, about three hundred. ”
"How much does each fritter sell?"
"One penny. ”
In other words, you can earn up to 300 wen a day by selling fritters. You said that this bag of money was not returned by Dou Fu, so where did it come from?" Chen Wenqi pointed to the bag of copper coins on the public case.
"Brought from home, of course. Cao Bin said without hesitation.
"Since you came out to sell fritters, why did you carry a lot of copper coins with you?"
"It's just that my mother lives with my younger brother and has not fulfilled her responsibility to support her, so I plan to buy some ginseng and other supplements for her old man and send them to the countryside tomorrow. And the flour at home is finished, and I have to buy some flour to go back. Cao Bin's answer was fluent, without hesitation, not like lying.
"So the money is ......"
Before Chen Wenqi finished speaking, Cao Bin knew that he was going to ask about the origin of the money, so he hurriedly said: "This money is all saved by selling fritters on weekdays." To tell the truth, selling fritters is more than half the profit. ”
"Are you sure that all these copper coins were saved by selling fritters and not from somewhere else?"
"Absolutely. ”
Chen Wenqi turned to Wu Wei and said, "Lord Wu, I'm done asking." ”
"What do you hear wrong?"
"Nope. What they said was reasonable and flawless. ”
"So, this case ......" Wu Wei was a little disappointed and turned to Shen Lingshan: "What about Young Master Yang, have you heard any problems?"
"Lord Wu, don't be impatient. Chen Gongzi only said that he didn't hear the flaws, but he didn't say that there was no way. Shen Lingshan said lightly.
"Is there a way? Wu Wei hurriedly asked Chen Wenqi.
As soon as Chen Wenqi heard Shen Lingshan say it, he knew what she knew, so he asked in a low voice: "Isn't the virtuous brother already having a way to judge the case?"
Shen Lingshan didn't answer and asked: "Big brother, do you know the allusion of Kolai Gong's 'Qingshui Case'?"
The "Qingshui Case" in Shen Lingshan's mouth refers to the fact that when Kou Zhun was the magistrate of the county in the Northern Song Dynasty, a local butcher of ** mutton handed over the 2,000 copper coins accumulated by selling mutton to distant relatives who lived with him for safekeeping. One day, the matchmaker told the butcher a matchmaker, and the butcher asked the distant relative to take out the money to buy the wedding, but the distant relative not only did not give the money, but said that the butcher blackmailed him. So the two came to the county office together with two thousand copper coins, and the butcher said that the money was the money he had saved from selling mutton for his relatives to keep for him, and the distant relatives said that he had saved so much money after he went up the mountain every day to chop firewood and sell it. The two of them have their own opinions, and they want the county magistrate to make decisions for themselves. Kou Zhun pondered for a while, ordered the official to bring a stove and a clay basin full of water, put two thousand copper coins into the water, and then put the basin on the stove, after a while, the water in the basin came out of the steam, Kou Zhun ordered the official to bring the chopping wood to the basin, so that he could see the copper coins in the basin with his own eyes. I saw a thick layer of oil floating on the water in the basin, and a smell of mutton smell also emanated from the basin. The governor of the woodcutter had been exposed, and he did not dare to quibble, so he had to kowtow and confess.
Of course, Chen Wenqi knew this allusion, and when Wu Wei introduced the case, he thought of this case, but Kolai Gong happened to meet a meat seller and a woodcutter, and it was very easy to distinguish between oil and oil on copper coins...... He whispered his concerns to Shen Lingshan.
Shen Lingshan smiled, glanced at him, and said softly: "Oil and oil are also different. ”
Chen Wenqi listened and immediately understood what she meant.
Wu Wei saw the two of them whispering, and thought that they had no good plan, so he was anxious, pulled the two to a secluded place, and asked, "Can the two sons tell the difference?"
Chen Wenqi glanced at Shen Lingshan, and when he saw that she refused to come forward, he replied: "Lord Wu, for the sake of today, it is better to let the bag of copper coins identify its owner." ”
Hearing that he was going to let the copper coin identify his owner, Wu Wei was immediately deflated. I thought that these two people could make good decisions, so they turned around and asked for advice. Who knows that they are still donkeys pooping outside, and there are not many goods in their stomachs, and now they have such a bad idea, which is simply a fantasy. So he said angrily: "Copper coins can identify people, what use do we need parents to do?"
Chen Wenqi pretended not to know that he was angry, smiled slightly, and said, "Why don't Lord Wu believe it in the next time?"
Wu Wei didn't know what the mystery was, and seeing that the two of them were so sure, he had no choice but to nod suspiciously, and stretched out his hand to the front of the case, meaning that you should break it.
Chen Wenqi returned to the lobby and said to the hall: "Dou Fu and Cao Bin, you two don't give in to each other, and they both say that the money is their own, and this 'master' has to let them identify who is their owner." ”
Although the two of them were tense and nervous to fight the lawsuit, when they heard that they wanted copper coins to identify the owner, they couldn't help but laugh, so they said in unison: "It's all up to the master." ”
"Well, each of you will take out another fifty cents, and let the copper coins in this bag identify who their 'brothers' are. ”
The two laughed and laughed, but they didn't dare to argue, so they each took out fifty copper coins and put them on Wu Wei's public case.
Chen Wenqi drank and ordered Dou Fu and Cao Bin to step aside, put the cloth bag in the middle of the public case, and recited the words in his mouth: "Copper coins, copper coins, if you don't identify who is the master today, your master will be wronged." Remembering that the master has worked hard to save your share, you will give him justice. ”
After speaking, his eyes scanned between the money bag and the fifty copper coins that Dou Fu and Cao Bin took out.
Shen Lingshan saw that Chen Wenqi was playing tricks, and couldn't help but secretly cover her mouth.
However, the money bag and the hundred copper coins were lying quietly on the desk, what was the movement?
When everyone was puzzled, Chen Wenqi said to Wu Wei again: "Lord Wu, it seems that this copper coin is a person who deceives the good and fears the evil, and refuses to stand up for justice. I can't say that I have to use torture. ”
"How to torture them?" Wu Wei was obviously about to lose patience again.
"Your Excellency, though I have commanded the instruments of torture to wait. Chen Wenqi is very sure.
"What kind of torture tools do you want? whips, big boards or clamping sticks?" Wu Wei asked stiffly.
"Wok. ”
Although Wu Wei was unhappy, he still ordered the official to bring the soup wok that had not been used for many years. Chen Wenqi instructed the officials to add clean water, put firewood on the bottom frame of the wok, and in a moment the water boiled until it was bubbling and steaming.
Chen Wenqi said to the copper coin on the case: "Copper coin, since you are silent, then don't blame you for being rude." After that, he shouted: "Come, pour Dou Fu's fifty copper coins into the boiling water." ”
Although the copper coin is heavy, it does not sink to the bottom in the boiling water, but flies up and down, jumping more than once.
About the time of tea, Chen Wenqi ordered to withdraw the firewood, extinguish the sparks, and the soup woks gradually calmed down.
Chen Wenqi ordered the official to pour the copper coins in the soup wok and water into the prepared empty basin, put them in front of the case, mentioned the wolf on the public case, and wrote the word "Dou Fu" outside the basin. He also asked the officials to wash the soup wok, add as much water as before, pour the fifty copper coins that Cao Bin took out into the water and boil, still pour the tea into another empty basin, and lay them side by side on the official case, and write the word "Cao Bin".
Chen Wenqi and Shen Lingshan both looked closely, and then their eyes intersected, and the two nodded slightly at the same time.
Wu Wei looked confused, and asked the two of them with a little dissatisfaction:
"You two, can you see some clues?"
Shen Lingshan smiled silently, while Chen Wenqi lifted the money bag and said angrily:
"Why are these people so stubborn, that they don't open their mouths when the fire boils? After speaking, he walked up to the soup wok, took out fifty copper coins from the money bag and threw them into the soup wok, added water and boiled them.
As soon as the tea time came, Chen Wenqi ordered the officials to withdraw the firewood, extinguish the sparks, and pour them into an empty basin. Then put the previous two pots side by side, one on the left and one on the right.
Chen Wenqi looked at it and shouted loudly: "Lord Wu, come and see, the copper coin has confessed." ”
Wu Wei was suspicious, walked quickly to the soup wok, only took a cursory look, and suddenly realized: "Yes, the copper coin has really confessed." He turned around and walked towards the public case.
Everyone didn't know what to do, so they went around to take a look, and saw the copper coins in the three basins lying quietly at the bottom of the water, and there was a thin layer of oil flowers floating on the surface of the water.
"Bang-", "might-martial-".
"Bold Cao Bin, the physical evidence is in front, and you still don't bow your head and confess?" Wu Wei shouted majestically.
With a "poof", Cao Bin's knees weakened, knelt on top of the court, and asked innocently: "My lord, what is the crime of the grass people?"
"Boldly Diao Min, and dare to argue, look at these three basins, what is the difference?"
Cao Bin looked up at the basin and replied puzzledly: "My lord, the grass people can't see the difference. ”
"Hmph," Wu Wei pointed to the clay pot in the middle, and said, "You see that there is a thin layer of oil flowers floating on the water surface in this pot, which is the same as this pot (with the word Dou Fu written on it), do you dare to say that this money is not Dou Fu's?"
"My lord, there are also oil flowers in this pot of grass people?" Cao Bin argued.
"Yes, there are indeed oil flowers in this pot of yours, but you can see clearly, there are very few oil flowers in this pot. ”
Cao Bin's eyes turned a few times, and he explained: "My lord, today's business is very good, and the grass people want to make noodles and fry fritters, so they can't be busy collecting money, so some people directly throw the copper coins into the grass people's box containing money, so ...... Therefore, today's copper coins are relatively 'clean'. ”
"Cao Bin, Cao Bin, you are so eloquent and eloquent to sell fritters, what a condescension. Wu Wei teased, then sank his face and said: "The water in these two basins is crystal clear, and there is a little white flocculent in your basin of water, what is the explanation for this?"
"This ...... How did the grass people know? The adults judged that the money was his based on these two points, and the grass people were really wronged. ”
"Hmph, the county said the reason, forgive you for not daring not to recruit. Wu Wei snorted coldly and said: "Dou Fu kills pigs and sells meat, and he is in contact with pork all the time, and his hands are naturally stained with oil; although you use oil to fry fried fritters, you do not have direct contact with the oil, and you also have to knead the dough and cut the strips, and there is not much oil on your hands and there is flour, which is why his oil flowers are more than yours, and there are white flocculent in your pot." Cao Bin, what else do you have to say?"
Cao Bin was confused for a while, but now what the county magistrate said was well-founded, his expression suddenly calmed down, and he had no choice but to confess from the truth. It turned out that after Dou Fu repaid the money in the morning, he did not ask him for an IOU, and he did not make a sound because he did not bring the IOU with him. While cleaning up the noodle jar, he thought that Dou Fu had been selling meat for more than three years, and he had borrowed only five percent of the money from others, which showed that the meat business was not profitable; but why had he accumulated five percent of the money in just four months? Eighty percent of the money was stolen or robbed. If this is the case, even if he relies on this money, he will not dare to speak out. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if it was true that he made money from selling meat, who could believe that he had accumulated more money in a few months than in a few years? Moreover, his IOU was in his own hands, and even if he sued the government, he had no evidence. Thinking of these layers, it was decided that Marshal Zhao Gong would turn his face - not admit it. I didn't know that I was careless, and I actually ignored the oil stains and flour on the copper coins. No wonder this master repeatedly asked whether the money was "saved by selling fritters or obtained from elsewhere", it turned out that he wanted to block his mouth in advance.
Cao Bin explained the truth of the matter, and then said sadly: "My lord, Brother Dou Fu, I shouldn't have been greedy, and now I can't regret it." In order to pay off his debts and save money, Brother Dou Fu didn't know the taste of meat for a few months, and I felt very uncomfortable listening to it. I would like to return Brother Dou Fu's copper coins to atone for my previous sorrows, and I implore you for forgiveness. ”
Dou Fu cleared up his grievances, and his mood suddenly relaxed, thinking that he was good friends with Cao Bin on weekdays, and he would have to do business together in the future. said a few good words for Cao Bin, and said that he would no longer delve into the matter.
Wu Wei listened to it and said: "Since this is the case, the court will listen to the judgment:
Dou Fu was falsely accused of repaying his debts, which was obviously wronged; Cao Bin was really a traitor when he got money and wanted to hide it. Now Cao Bin has the intention of repentance, and Dou Fu has a heart of forgiveness, so the verdict is as follows:
Cao Bin has always returned the money to redeem his previous sorrows, and he has shown humiliation with a whip to set an example. Dou Fu took back the IOU, cleared the money and debts, and received 1,000 as compensation.
Retirement. ”
After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads, thinking that the punishment was reasonable. Dou Fu and Cao Bin also had no objections, so they each took the money and went out of the court (Cao Bin also had to receive the whipping) and left.
Wu Wei stepped down from the public case, grabbed Chen Wenqi, and said gratefully: "Today, with the help of Gongzi, this case has been broken, and the county is here to thank you." ”
Chen Wenqi returned the salute, waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't dare to plunder the beauty of people." I want to thank you, but thank you for this Yang Gongzi. ”
Shen Lingshan saw that Wu Wei was about to clench his fist to himself, so he hurriedly hid to the side and said, "The dispute is settled, and that is the credit of my brother-in-law." Besides, the adults in this case are fair and clear, and I admire them. ”
Everyone was polite to each other, and seeing that the sun had sunset, Chen Wenqi and Shen Lingshan, Weng Junding and others said goodbye to Wu Wei and returned to the "Juyuan Hotel".
In the following days, Chen Wenqi spent most of his time in his room practicing the "Yi Marrow Gong" method, and went to the backyard of Shen Lingshan's house every other day to instruct her to practice the "Acupoint Palm". Due to their concentrated practice, the two of them have improved a lot in kung fu.
