Two skewers of fish are nearly twenty kilograms, and they can be sold at about 200 yuan at the market price. However, Chishan Town is already near the sea, but fish is not a rare thing. The things in the hands of the people have always been sold at a low price. The person who bought the fish is obviously not an ordinary person. He bids a skewer of money, which is only 100 cents, but it is not a forced purchase.

However, this fish was originally given to Li Jing by Xiao Shi Tou, and not all of them were given to him. Another string was to be taken back to Xiao Shi Tou's family. Another one was the person in front of him, which had a deep connection with the Li Jing's family, so when Li Jing saw that the person who wanted to buy the fish was him, he immediately refuted it.

The person who wanted to buy fish was also a young man, about the same age as Li Jing, about twenty years old. However, he was wearing black clothes. Xuan and soap were both black, but Xuan was red in black, while soap was ordinary black. However, these two colors of clothes were forbidden to wear by ordinary people. Black, like red and yellow, were the emperor's clothes. However, the soap color was stipulated to be the clothes of the servants and clerks, and all of them were soap clothes, soap boots, soap toes, etc. in the yamen.

The person who bought the fish was wearing soap clothes and soap boots, but he was not from the yamen, but from the Chishan Army Town.

"Isn't this Li Xiucai? Why didn't I read the sage books at home today? I ran to the town. Why didn't I come to the town to talk to my brother?"

When Li Jing saw this person, he knew that he would have to waste some time today. He walked to the city wall and put down his burden, sneered: "The fish was dragged by the little stone to me back to the village. If you have nothing else, I will go back."

"What are you anxious about? Let's talk about it again. I'm not my girl. I'm crying and shouting that you won't marry. If you don't agree, you will hang up and jump into the well if you don't agree." Wang Liang hugged his arms with both hands, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with anger in his eyes.

Li Jing was silent for a moment. What Wang Liang said was a fact. The Li family and Wang Liang's family were originally close friends for several generations, and they were once neighbors when they were still in Qingzhou. Wang Liang's grandfather and Li Jing's grandfather were both Pinglu Military Academy. Later, they both died in battle at the Li family that attacked and separating Ziqing. They moved to Wang Li Village together. Li Jing's father later became an official and worked as a county director in Tan County, so he invited Wang's father to be a follower. Later, both died in Qiu Fu's rebellious soldiers. Then Wang Liang's elder brother and Li Jing went to Xuzhou to deliver food that year, and they were gone and never returned. The two families had encountered the same tragic things.

Wang Liang had a sister, two years younger than Li Jing. She met a wolf while picking wild vegetables several years earlier, and was almost eaten by the wolf. Fortunately, Li Jing, who passed by, rescued him from the wolf. As a result, the Wang family's younger sister told her family that she would not marry Li Jing in this life. This was a good thing. Wang Liang's younger sister was also well-deserved and had good character. Li Jing's mother also agreed, but this happened to Li Jing firmly opposed it. Anyway, Li Jing didn't know the reason, but she was unwilling to marry Wang's younger sister. Maybe she had the plan to participate in the imperial examination and revitalize the family as an official.

This matter was very stiff. The Wang family girl asked a matchmaker to come to the house several times to propose marriage. The rumors spread by this matter made the Wang family girl's reputation very unbearable. The younger sister was hanged in anger and rescued her family in time. After a few days, she jumped into the well again. In this way, she did not know how much talk it took to persuade her to get rid of her. But now her sister is eighteen, and no one has gone to the Wang family to propose marriage within a radius of dozens of miles.

At the beginning of this year, Wang Liang's family invited a matchmaker to come to Wang Liang, hoping to tell Li Jing's fourth sister Wanjing to Wang Liang. However, Wanjing did not say he refused, but she just made a request and did not want the Wang family's dowry or something, but she had to two stones of corn before she could agree to the marriage. Han was originally unwilling to attach this condition, but the fourth sister Wanjing insisted repeatedly, otherwise she would not agree. Two stones of corn were only 240 kilograms, and the amount was only four s of copper coins or five pieces of silk.

But the Wang family really couldn't take out this little thing. As a result, Wang Liang believed that the Li family had no sincerity, and the relationship between the two families was completely bound. Wang Liang, who was resentful, ran outside the Li family to scold him several times, and Wang Liang also destroyed two vegetable fields of the Li family.

Han has always asked the Li family to tolerate Wang Liang's actions, but in his heart, Li Jing really has no good impression of Wang Liang.

Wang Liang failed to propose marriage at the beginning of the year, but later he asked someone to come to the town to do an errand. It was not a serious errand. He just served as a servant for the warehouse officer in Chishan Town, who usually sent a letter to buy vegetables and other things.

"Scholar, today our custodian is going to hold a banquet at home to invite Zhao Aoya, the popular man around him. Zhao Aoya doesn't like the seafood, so she likes to eat the fish in the river. These fish are all very delicious, and Zhao Aoya must like it. Let's do this, they are all in the same village, and I won't lose you. Sell these two skewers of fish to me, and I'll give you a bucket of sorghum later. This is the whole thing."

Seeing that Wang Liang gave in, Li Jing was unwilling to be too persistent, and said immediately: "I'll give you my skewers of fish, and I don't need much money or food, I just give you it. But I promised to take the other skewers to Xiaoshitou's house, but I can't give them to you. My skewers of fish are nearly ten kilograms, which is enough for you. What do you think?"

As the two were talking, a man wearing a green round-necked official robe in the distance shouted at Wang Liang: "You farmer, you've been talking for so long when you ask you to buy a fish."

The man came over a few steps, with a arrogant look on his face, and didn't even look at Li Jing. He shook his hand and threw down a string of money in front of Li Jing: "That man, this is your fish money." As he said that, he was about to turn around and leave.

Li Jing recognized at a glance that the string of money on the ground was less than a hundred cents. This kind of money string was often only seventy, and it was called a street by the people. A street was less than a hundred, and it was often used by those rich and wealthy families when buying ordinary people.

"This official, I heard that there is a banquet in the mansion today, and I would like to offer a bunch of fish to the official. The other bunch is entrusted by someone to take. Please forgive me for not being sold to the official." Li Jing bowed to the official.

What he said was very reasonable, and in Li Jing's opinion, he would not make things difficult for him after giving the man a bunch of fish for free. But he obviously underestimated the official favors of the late Tang Dynasty.

The green-robed official stopped and turned his head to look at Li Jing, pondered for a moment and said, "I will collect the money I will give you. I will ask for all this fish, so there is no need to say more."

"Master, this is really a bit difficult." Li Jing was still distinguishing.

Unexpectedly, the green-robed official immediately turned against him and shouted angrily: "If you don't want toast, you guys, please tie him up for me and take him back."

"Master, what are you going to do?" Li Jing was shocked. He didn't expect that this fat man would turn against him more than to read.

"What am I going to do?" The fat man sneered twice and said to the onlookers on the side: "In the third year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court "banned the world to catch carp" twice in the 19th year; there was a rule that "if you get carp, you should release it, but you still cannot eat it." Some carp sellers were skewed sixty. This is a law. You, a small commoner, actually ignored the national laws and openly preyed on carp. Don't you know the crime? If you come, take it back and have a heavy stick of sixty."

As the fat man in the green robe and official uniform sneered, everyone present carefully observed that there was a copper carp with dragon beard and red scales among the two skewers in Li Jing's hand.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang did issue an edict to ban carp, but the reason was not simply to avoid the national surname. "Do not eat carp" was originally a Taoist rule. Taoism believed that carp could become dragons, with 36 scales on each scale, and there was a black spot on them. It was believed that carp worshipped the sun, so it was called "Red Li Gong". After eating carp, they would be sent by heaven. The Li Tang Dynasty said that it was a descendant of Laozi Li Er, and Li Er was regarded as the leader by Taoism. Therefore, the Li Tang Dynasty not only forbidden the people to cook carp, but it is said that anyone who caught carp and sold them also had to beat sixty sticks.

However, although there was such an edict on the ban on catching carp in the world, it could not be banned by the people. Especially in the late Tang Dynasty, this decree was basically a piece of paper, and the people still preyed on carp. However, when the treasury official arrested Li Jing on the grounds of this decree, everyone suddenly realized that they could not even give a reason to object.

Li Jing naturally knew that what the fat man said was not false, but even though he knew that this law had become empty words, the people had never really banned fasting. But at this time, it was impossible to use this as an example to offset his "crime".

Youdao is the magistrate of the county magistrate of the family and the magistrate of the family. At present, a small military treasury officer in the town can control Li Jing to be unable to move. Faced with this sudden disaster, he couldn't help but regret it. If he had known this, he would have sold the two skewers of fish directly.
