Chapter 112 Who is the poor brother who asks
Chapter 112: Ask brothers who are pitiful
The snow is sparse and the north wind is blowing, and the fast horse is not fast and the knife is hit. Yesterday, a boat was on the water, but today I can't find money when I sit and lie down.
When he woke up in the morning, County Magistrate Jia hurried to the Shuiyun Club and went to find Han Wangzhu himself. Before he could speak, the other party said first: "Is the adult health still healthy? I heard that he had fallen into the water yesterday and was rescued by the young master."
"Fortunately, I slept for a night and was a little confused. I choked yesterday. Today, the Japanese official came to have something to say." County Magistrate Jia laughed and was about to tell the story of losing things. It was difficult to speak for a while. This feeling of asking for money was different from the feeling of others giving money.
Master Han Wang immediately continued: "It's okay if you have something to say, but you are not in good health. Want to find some medicinal materials?"
"No, no, it's because when I fell into the water yesterday, two things on my body fell into the water. Those two things were exactly what you gave me the day before yesterday. It's hard to find this for a while, so I'll tell you so that the money will be taken away."
County Magistrate Jia was embarrassed to say directly, "Give me another thing, I can only find such an excuse when I go to get the money."
Han Wangzhu heard this and said, "What the adult said is very true. Xiao This person will tell me there. Please stay here for one more day. Xiao This person will go back and get something else first. I feel wronged."
"No, no grievance at all. It's just right to try the food and drinks here. Then go quickly, I'll go back too." County Magistrate Jia was relieved. When he faced others, he always couldn't stand it and got up and left.
Master Han Wang didn't dare to delay. When he came, his family told him that the Zhang and Wang families were not that simple. Apart from the matter, they should pay attention to even very small things, otherwise they would not know how to suffer.
Yesterday, the county magistrate fell into the water. Today, he came here and said that he had thrown away two things. Is it really thrown or fake? Is it falls into the water or someone picked it up? Even if the person who picked it up does not know what the use of this thing is, he must be careful.
Therefore, Lord Han Wang found the man who was here and asked someone to ride a fast horse to tell him, go and go back quickly, and wait here.
The snow outside was blown by the wind, and it was like a knife cut. The man brought three horses. When he arrived, the wind and snow swept the holes in his face. The horses also threw two of them into the farmer's home, but when he arrived, he had a bigger news that made the person who came to report the news was so lingering.
Yesterday at noon, the money was taken out and walked towards the dock. I didn’t know where I went.
The person who came took a sip of hot soup, found something to wrap his face, and then changed three more horses to rush back. When Han Wangzhu heard about this, he was stunned. The 5,000 guan of his family and the 8,000 guan of the Yuan family were not a small amount of money, and he was taken away by someone.
It was not mentioned by County Magistrate Jia, at least that's what he said, saying it was lost after falling into the water, was it really lost, or was it that he asked someone to return to the county town the night before yesterday and asked someone to take it away? Only this is the most reasonable. If others pick it up, they don't know where to withdraw money.
Could it be that County Magistrate Jia thought that the money was small and he wanted to have one more time? It was really like that, so he was too greedy. I don’t know whether it was good or bad to cooperate with such people.
Master Han Wang held the two things that had already been put together in his hand. After thinking about it, he asked someone to go back and tell the head of the family, and while getting up to find County Magistrate Jia, perhaps he could know something.
County Magistrate Jia sat in a room on the second floor of Shuiyun. It was already ten days late at night. He was waiting for Han Wangzhu to bring him new things to withdraw money.
After waiting for a day, I became more and more anxious as I waited. The dishes were placed on the table, and there was no intention of eating. I just drank a sip of wine there for a while. I was confused and I didn't see Master Han Wang coming. I was about to go over and talk about it, but when I asked in a vague way, Master Han Wang finally came over.
As soon as Master Han Wang saw the house, he saw County Magistrate Jia drinking sour. He felt less suspicious about him. He seemed to be anxious about the money. If he really took it once, he shouldn't be so anxious.
"Hey~! Are you here? How are you asking?" County Magistrate Jia heard the sound of opening the door and looked over to see that it was Master Han Wang. His eyelids drooped and asked, but in fact, he asked if the token of the repair was taken back.
"Sir, look at this." Han Wangzhu put the two wood and jade together on the table.
County Magistrate Jia was still confused. When he saw that thing, he immediately became happy. He touched it with his hands, separated the things that he had together, picked up the two he should have, and said with a smile:
"Your master is indeed a believer. He sent mine back. No need to keep these two halves for the bottom. You are so amazing. I fell into the water, and you... no, no, why are these two halves here? Could it be..."
As the county magistrate Jia spoke, he finally reacted. Looking at the other two halves on the table, an idea suddenly appeared in his heart. Someone took the two halves of his body and took the money there.
"You are right. These four pieces were retrieved from the shops of Changqing and Wufeng in the county town. They appeared there at noon yesterday." Han Wangzhu looked at County Magistrate Jia and said.
County Magistrate Jia was stunned and suddenly shouted: "Impossible, this is impossible. The thing was kept on me before it fell into the water. I looked at it when I woke up yesterday morning. Why did I arrive in the county town in half a day?
You don’t doubt that I asked someone to collect the money, and you still want to ask for another one, right? I am surrounded by yamen runners, and there are no one else. Could the yamen runners do such a thing for me? I’m desperate and let the yamen runners know that I have collected your money, and it is definitely not me."
"Don't worry, sir, what sir said is not bad. There is no one around you, and you will not give things to others. You are suspicious. When the young man talked to the adult the night before, he was heard by the yamen runner standing outside the door. Ordinary people may not hear it, but the yamen runners were not kind before, so how could they not have the one among them?
When Lord Han Wang heard this, he thought it made sense. Moreover, the people he brought yesterday also followed the dark place and did not find any yamen runners left, nor did he see County Magistrate Jia meeting other people. If he had seen them, he was also from the restaurant in Zhangjiazhuang. He would not have been able to have such a good thing with the Zhang family and send the tokens out.
The only possibility is that the yamen runner outside the gate heard that when the county magistrate fell into the water, two things were touched away and quickly went to the county town to withdraw money.
Han Wangzhu told the matter that he thought about later. The magistrate Jia shook his head, "The one who saved me yesterday was the young master. If the young master was willing, he would not dare to say anything directly if he asked me directly. It would be necessary to give it to me directly. It must be that other people have good water nature. When they saw two things falling from my master's body into the water, swim down and fishing them out.
In addition, the yamen runners eavesdropped, so Zhangjiazhuangzi sent someone to the county town to take the money. If I had known this, I would not have gone to the pavilion. Why bother? Let's ask who went to the water yesterday. I think you can tell."
"Sir, more than a hundred people jumped in yesterday, and in the end, only Xiao Hou's men caught you. Can we ask one by one? Do you think Zhangjiazhuang will give in?" Han Wangzhu shook his head and introduced the situation yesterday.
Seeing that County Magistrate Jia looked confused, he said, "Sir, it was not that simple that you were going to the pavilion yesterday. Everyone knows that fishing cannot be so loud, but how long did the firecrackers sound yesterday? The room where you were eating was facing the pavilion. Do you think it would be such a coincidence?"
County Magistrate Jia listened and thought about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that things were not simple. Yesterday he was about to leave, but suddenly the sound of firecrackers came to mind. Thinking about the appearance of the guy, he seemed to have been urging himself to go over and take a look. There was only one fishing boat on the river, so why did it stop there so by chance?
Are there fishes in that place? Yes, that person is scattering a spiral net. The water is so urgent, so there is no need to hang a net? The fish are all underneath in the cold weather, so there is no need to scatter nets? I was born in a fisherman when I was a child. Who is stupid to cast a net to fish in that place? This is a good plan, it must be a good plan.
"Zhang Zhong, you bully people too much. I will fight with you. I..." County Magistrate Jia finally found something wrong. He stood up and was about to rush outside, shouting.
Master Han Wang hugged him quickly and made a hand to cover County Magistrate Jia's mouth. He couldn't let him shout like this. If someone knew about it, he could only laugh at him. At the same time, he was also a seventh-rank official. What should he do? When he shouted, his momentum was weaker.
"Sir, don't make a noise. Do you want the people of the Zhang family to make a joke? Sir, don't be afraid of losing money. Sir, please sit down first." Han Wangzhu stopped him and persuaded him.
At this time, the guy outside the door came in and asked, "What's wrong with this sir?"
"It's okay, you quit. You didn't ask you not to come in. The adults wanted to find someone to drink too much." What else could Master Han Wang say, and asked the guy to go out, and then persuaded him in a low voice.
"Sir, they will be even happier if you do this. When the adults are stable, they will deal with them together. Money is a trivial matter, don't take it to heart."
County Magistrate Jia pouted like a child, sat on a chair, raised his head and had another glass of wine, muttering: "They are so bullying. When I took office, I didn't leave a penny for me. I often closed my position and didn't dare to move. There was too much food there, and it was not enough to do anything. If I moved too much, it would be troublesome.
The county magistrate, the chief lord, the sword and pen official, and the yamen runners, none of them are my own people. When they go out for a stroll, some people follow me. I said I was locked up. When the yamen runners objected, I didn’t dare to make a decision. My mother wanted to eat some blood tofu, and I had to help others kill pigs.
When I got here, I finally had some money, but before I could take it out, I was taken away by them. I almost drowned. Who is the county magistrate? The only thing I, the county magistrate, can I take the documents and put them on a seal. Brother, do you think, are I a county magistrate coward? You said."
"Courage, then we... hey, Zhangjiazhuang is hard to deal with." Master Han Wang was indeed very sympathetic when he heard what County Magistrate Jia said after being drunk.
