Chapter 417
Wang Chengshan took the prescription to a pharmacy in Yangzhou City to grab medicine, and the shopkeeper said impatiently when he saw him enter the house: "Brother Wang, it's not that I don't give you credit, but you owe too much, and my pharmacy is also a small business, so I can't afford it." Wang Chengshan said: "Shopkeeper, don't be afraid, grab the medicine and give you cash today." The shopkeeper said, "You have the money, what about the above accounts." Wang Chengshan said: "It's good to pay it off together." After speaking, he handed the prescription to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper took the prescription and looked at it and said, "Brother Wang, you have invited another Langzhong." Wang Chengshan sighed, the shopkeeper still didn't grab the medicine, Wang Chengshan said: "The shopkeeper, you hurry up and grab the medicine!"
The shopkeeper said, "You haven't taken out the money yet." Wang Chengshan sighed, and hurriedly took out a hundred taels of silver ticket from his arms and handed it to the shopkeeper, who took it and looked at it and said in surprise: "Brother Wang, where did you get so much silver, you shouldn't do anything stupid, right?" Wang Chengshan said: "The shopkeeper can rest assured, this silver comes from the right way, not from theft." The shopkeeper said: "I didn't say that you stole it, but I really can't find such a big ticket, so you better go to the money bank to exchange it." Wang Chengshan said: "I'm in a hurry to grab the medicine and go back, or you can bring the medicine to me first, and I'll figure it out with you another day." The shopkeeper said: "That's not good, besides, your father's illness is not a day or two, and the urgency is not at this time." Wang Chengshan saw that he had no choice but to say: "Okay then! You grab the medicine first, and I'll go to the money bank to exchange it." With that, he walked out of the pharmacy.
Wang Chengshan took the silver ticket to the Four Seas Money Village, handed the silver ticket in to exchange it for loose silver, and the money bank shopkeeper took the silver ticket and looked at it, and then looked at Wang Chengshan's dress. Asked, "Is this silver ticket yours?" Wang Chengshan said, "I just handed it to you." It's not mine, it's someone else's. The shopkeeper said, "Please wait." I'm going to take a closer look at the authenticity of this silver ticket. After speaking, he called a guy to whisper a few words to him, and the guy hurried out, and the shopkeeper took the silver ticket and looked left and right, but he didn't exchange it for Wang Chengshan.
Wang Chengshan waited for a while, and urged: "Shopkeeper, you better exchange it for me! I'm still waiting to grab the medicine." The shopkeeper said: "Don't worry, this is not a small amount, what should I do if I make a mistake." Wang Chengshan said: "Then forget it, you return the silver ticket to me." I went to another house to redeem it. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone behind him: "What, my heart is empty, do you want to slip away?" Wang Chengshan turned his head and looked, two catchers walked into the door, Wang Chengshan said: "Two bad masters, are you talking about me?" One of them, named Zhang San, said quickly: "Don't talk about you, do you see that there are others here?" Wang Chengshan said: "I don't understand what the two bad masters mean." The catcher called Li Si said quickly: "I ask you, where did you get this silver ticket." Wang Chengshan said: "It was given by my nephew." Catch Li Sidao: "What is your nephew doing, he is so atmospheric, he will give you a hundred taels." ”
Wang Chengshan said: "I can't tell what my nephew does. Catch Zhang San and say: "It's not that you can't say clearly. But you don't have to say it, you better go back with us and tell the prefect!" After speaking, he took the silver ticket from the shopkeeper's hand. Wang Chengshan said: "Poor master." Why do you take my silver ticket? "Catch Zhang San and say: "I suspect that your silver ticket is not coming from the right way, so you can go to the master and explain it." Wang Chengshan said: "It's not me who scares you, my nephew must know that you treat me like this, and he will definitely not spare you." "Catch Li Sidao: "What does your nephew do, is he an official?" Wang Chengshan said: "Have you heard that there is a Master Zhang in Zhangzhuang who has returned to his hometown." "Who hasn't heard of this, this is a well-known thing, you won't say that Lord Zhang is your nephew, right?"
Wang Chengshan said: "You are right, that Lord Zhang is my nephew." The two catchers suddenly stopped laughing, their faces became ugly, and they looked like they were crying and laughing, and said, "What you said is true." Wang Chengshan said: "I don't believe you can go home with me and see, but you delayed me to catch the medicine, if he blames you, I don't care, I will bear the consequences." Catch fast Zhang San secretly said: "If what he said is true, if we want to follow the past, we will have to go around without eating, it is better to follow secretly, if what he said is true, we will slip away, if what he wants to say is false, he doesn't want to run." Thinking of this, he said, "Okay, we will believe you, you have to tell your name and address." Wang Chengshan said: "My family lives in Wangzhuang in the west of the city, and my name is Wang Chengshan." ”
Zhang San handed the silver ticket to the shopkeeper again, and said, "You can exchange it for others!" Wang Chengshan said: "Please give you all the small ingots of silver that can be exchanged for five taels." The shopkeeper said yes.
Wang Chengshan took the exchanged silver and left the Sihai Qianzhuang and walked towards the pharmacy, and the two catches followed quietly, Wang Chengshan walked into the pharmacy, paid back the money owed, walked out of the pharmacy with a few pairs of medicines, and hurried towards home.
When Wang Chengshan returned home, Lingyu had already left, and when he left, he gave his grandfather a thousand taels of silver tickets, telling his grandfather that he would go to Zhangzhuang to find him if he had something.
When Zhou saw Wang Chengshan coming back, he asked: "Zhuzi father, why did it take so long to grab a medicine, Ling'er was in a hurry and had already left." Wang Chengshan said what had happened, and Zhou said: "It's really a dog's eye to look down on people, and our Wang family has not been rich." After speaking, he said, "You go to dinner, I'll decoct the medicine." After saying that, he was busy decocting the medicine.
Let's see if Wang Chengshan really walked into Wangzhuang, and the two walked into a family in the east of Zhuangtou, this family is a small couple, the man's name is Li Niu, the woman's name is Ah Hong, and they are having lunch with two children. Seeing that the two catchers were all shocked, Li Niu hurriedly got up and stepped forward and said, "Is there anything wrong with the two masters?" Only then did Li Niu calm down and said, "I don't know what the master wants to ask." Zhang San said: "Is there a person named Wang Chengshan in your village?" Li Niu said: "Yes, his family lives in the west of the village." Zhang San said: "How is his family's life?" Li Niu said: "I heard that his family used to be a rich family, but now it is very poor, and he borrowed a lot of debts in order to treat his father's illness, and it is estimated that he will not be able to pay it back in this life." Li Sidao: "Do you know that he has a nephew who is an official?"
Li Niu said: "I haven't heard of it, I only heard that Wang Chengshan has a brother-in-law who was a county magistrate, and there has been no news for more than ten years, and then I heard that their whole family was killed by thieves, and I never heard that he had a nephew here." Zhang San said: "So that's the case! Then you can continue to eat! It's none of your business." After speaking, he said to Li Si: "Brother Li, let's go!" After speaking, the two walked out.
When the two came outside, Li Si said, "Brother Zhang, what do you think, or let's inquire again." Zhang San said: "What else do you want to ask, this is obvious, his silver ticket is not stolen or stolen, take him back and let the prefect understand it." Li Sidao: "Okay, just listen to Brother Zhang." After saying that, the two walked towards the west of Zhuang.
Zhang San and Li Si came to Wang Chengshan's house and asked him where his nephew was, Wang Chengshan said that his nephew had returned to Zhangzhuang, Zhang San said that he had solicited rumors and cheated, not stealing and stealing, and forcibly searched, and finally found a thousand silver tickets under Wang Yonghua's pillow, and took away the remaining silver with the medicine, and escorted Wang Chengshan to Yangzhou Mansion.
