"What?" shopkeeper Song raised his head and rolled his eyes, "I haven't drunk such a good 'Pear Blossom Spring' for many years." Brother, you still have to push back and block, isn't this asking for people's lives?"

Lin Ziren took the copy of "Walking with the Tiger" from Tang Yu and handed it to him casually: "Mr. Yang Fu told me about this book, it's not too late to drink it." ”

Shopkeeper Song took the book and looked at it twice: "Isn't this a booklet that my brother printed many years ago?"

"Brother She, do you know this author?" Tang Yu was surprised.

"He is the son of a distant uncle of mine, named Song Qingyang, who is three years younger than me this year. Shopkeeper Song staggered, staggered to the corner, and hunched over to pull out a book from a pile of dusty books. turned around and swayed over again, and stuffed it to the two of them, it was exactly the same "Walking with the Tiger" in their hands.

Lin Ziren asked: "This Song Qingyang, oh, where is he now?"

"I was hired as a Xibin and went to teach in the city. ”

"Which one is in the city?"

"I don't know ...... this."

"Don't you brothers usually interact with each other?" Tang Yu was very surprised.

"This damn it!" Shopkeeper Song scolded vulgarly, frowned, and said, "When he printed this book, he owed me forty taels of silver, and he never paid it back." This spring, there was a lot of nonsense, and the design deceived me into a bronze square tripod ......"

Lin Ziren was puzzled: "How can you say this?"

Boss Song sat on the bamboo bench with his butt, and without waiting to be inquired, his stomach full of words rushed out like flowing water: "At the beginning, he took the manuscript of the book and asked me to print it for him, saying that if he gets a book, he will be able to sell it for a lot of money." The result...... He threw in more than a hundred taels himself, and did not say anything, but instead caused me to put in a lot of silver for nothing......"

"Where did Song Qingyang get so much money?"

"Hell knows. He is a talent who can't lift his hands and shoulders, and he prefers to have sweet dreams, what 'the prince will have a kind of Xiangning', what 'the husband should be like this', his mind is full of evil thoughts. When I was young, I didn't study well, I didn't study hard and get famous, but I was willing to fall and follow a mountain king who robbed his house?"

"But that warlord Miao who is from Sanyizhuang, Zhangshan, once gathered in one side and called for wind and rain?" Tang Yu asked in a loud voice.

"Isn't he who he is?" The shopkeeper Song snorted in a long voice: "You know a lot! Song Qingyang has been with Miao Tycoon's rabble for more than a year, not only did he not be crowned a king and marquis, but he was also promoted to a knighthood, and he almost lost his life......

Tang Yu listened to it and became more and more confused: "How can you say this?"

Shopkeeper Song was very annoyed, and continued: "This kid looks like a saint's disciple. God knows what tricks he used in his bones, and within a few days of entering, he actually hooked up with Jade, the nineteenth little wife of the tycoon of Miao!"

"Yes, this Song Qingyang does not seem to be simple. Lin Ziren shook the "Walking with the Tiger" in his hand, and said with a teasing tone, "But in this book, the author swears by the 'remnant of his life', declaring that he is an innocent reader, reading the scriptures, following the rules, and wholeheartedly adhering to the teachings of the saints." Later, he was forcibly captured by Miao's army, and he had to succumb to the thief. Because he violated the hadith and lived shyly, he was hanged three times and jumped four times into the well.

"Nonsense. ”

Tang Yu asked, "Why did Mr. say this?"

Shopkeeper Song's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth: "This literati writes books, shakes his pen, and does whatever he wants.

"Maybe they think that bragging and lying are the highest praise for themselves!" Tang Yu said cautiously: "Who makes people inherently able to make up stories? ”

"So there is a great man who doesn't say it, and the lie is repeated three times, and that is the truth. "Lao Lin also joined the battle group.

Shopkeeper Song blinked, and complained: "Which great man?"

"It's the old one, the little one......"

Lin Ziren nodded slightly, leading the topic, "I remember that you just said that this 'remnant' still deceived you of something?"

"That was in the spring of this year, Song Qingyang found me, full of joy, and said that he was about to get rich. You can easily get a thousand taels of silver. The shopkeeper Song said, "When the time comes, he can not only pay off my debts, which will be the right to interest, but also give me some lottery ......."

Tang Yu looked at him and said, "Isn't that good? People give you good news and give you money, why do you still say that he lied to you?"

Boss Song pouted: "How can he have such a good heart?" Song Qingyang told me that the other party remitted the money to him through 'flying money' and temporarily stored it in Yinzhuang. Because the amount is large, you need to go through the relevant procedures, fill in the household registration identity, and even have a certificate from the neighborhood to withdraw the cash from the bank. This operation up and down costs about one hundred and eighty taels of silver......"

Lin Ziren laughed at the greed and pedantry of the shopkeeper Song in his heart, and it was difficult to say anything, so he said: "Did Song Qingyang just happen to be unhappy at that time and asked you for help, and he personally promised that as soon as the money was in hand, it would be returned to you immediately?"

"Not bad at all. And he promised to give me some jars of good wine!"

"So you lent him money?"

Shopkeeper Song hesitated for a moment and replied: "Where did I have the cash at that time? A buyer in Qi Bao Zhai saw it back then, and I didn't even give two hundred taels of silver......"

"And after that?"

"Song Qingyang suggested that I send it to the pawnshop first and make it a few dozen taels of silver to solve my urgent need. As soon as his money arrives, he will redeem it for me immediately?"

"He took this copper tripod by himself at that time," Tang Yu interjected and asked, "Or did you two send it together?"

Shopkeeper Song blushed: "We both went together?"

"Which pawnshop?"

"The largest 'Tiansheng' in the city......"

Tang Yu couldn't figure it out, and asked again: "Mr. Song, according to what you say, you are willing to do it, and there is evidence, how can it be regarded as a fraud?"

In the next few days, not only was Song Qingyang's debt missing, but even no one could be found. Boss Song beat his chest and sighed, "I began to feel that something was wrong, so I took the pawn ticket and found the 'Tiansheng' and asked for a check." Unexpectedly, when people received it, they kept sneering, saying that this pawn ticket was fake--the pawn shop didn't get into the bronze square tripod ...... at all."

Tang Yulin Ziren was excited, and immediately raised his attention: "At that time, didn't you go in with him?"

"No, Song Qingyang asked me to wait at the door. He said that it was inconvenient to have too many people......"

"Then how did you later decide that this pawn ticket was fake?"
