Views:

It is recorded in "Shi Shuo Xin Yu": "Pan Yuemiao has a beautiful appearance and a good expression. When he was a child, he would pop up Luoyang Road, and when a woman met someone, he would always join hands with him."

The folk customs of Dajin were open, and the girls in the boudoir saw that although the handsome man could not throw melons and fruits, the handkerchiefs and sachets were also thrown down one by one. Shen Miaoping was dressed in a blue official robe with a silver belt around his waist. After coming out of the courtyard, he took more than a dozen people to patrol the streets. Thanks to the blessing of his stunning appearance, he was really charming, which made the big girl and the little daughter-in-law look at it.

Another sachet was dropped from the attic, and it just fell into Shen Miaoping's arms. He opened it and found that there was no money in it, only a bunch of dried flowers. He couldn't help but smiled and threw it back.

A woman's embarrassed laughter suddenly came from above her head, like a silver bell, like a yellow warbler, they leaned out from the railings, all of them were cardamom years: "You gentleman, you are so hard-hearted!"

Shen Miaoping spoke to them in a high voice, "The elder sisters are in the boudoir, and they are so talented, they should go to the Divine Arrow Camp! Hahahaha."

Those who patrol the streets are like visiting kilns, except for this one.

There were three fires when the new officials of the capital city took office, and Qian Tong, the deputy commander of the city patrol, was also afraid that this new boss would catch something wrong, so he secretly tried to please him. Immediately came up to offer a treasure and said: "On weekdays, there are no major events in the east, west, north, south, and four cities. It's all trivial gossip, and the people below are divided into four groups to inspect. The adults are in charge of the middle city. You can go home when the value is gone."

After finishing speaking, he added: "Going further is the Chunxiao Building. If you are interested, you can go in and take a look."

Seeing the ambiguous expression on Qian Tong's smiling face, Shen Miaoping instantly understood what the place was, he smiled, shook his head and said, "Forget it."

Although it is very curious, but if you really go in, Xie Yuzhi will be able to bring the guards of the Duke's mansion to kill him.

In the daytime, Pingkangfang is very lively, there are many merchants and Hu merchants from all over the world, Shen Miaoping is still fresh, and looking all the way, the merchants who were originally shouting and spitting will instantly see his official clothes. He became polite, and from time to time he handed some things of his own to express his feelings, but he refused with a smile.

Patrol to Suzaku Street, the road in the middle was blocked by the crowd, there seemed to be something lively inside, the third floor outside was surrounded, Shen Miaoping thought at first that he was watching monkeys, but after listening carefully, there was a faint arguing. , with a glance, Qian Tong immediately led his subordinates forward with interest.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! What are you doing with the containment here! Believe it or not, I will take you all back and deal with them!"

Ordinary people are still somewhat afraid of officials, not to mention Guan Qiantong and the others, who are probably domineering and domineering on weekdays. After hearing this, the crowd that was originally surrounded by water immediately spread out a path. He walked over, making people feel like a pampered dog official at first glance.

In the center of the crowd stood an old man, and there was a wealthy man dressed in rich clothes. The man was followed by a group of servants, which made the old man weak.

Shen Miaoping looked at the situation carefully and said with a smile, "Shen Miaoping, the new inspector of the city, can tell this official if anything happens. If there is any grievance, I will definitely appeal for you."

It's all polite talk, and no one takes it seriously.

The wealthy man looked at a slick character, with clever and cunning eyes, and he was probably a wealthy local businessman. Hearing this, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "The villain Zhang Yuanqing is a medicine dealer in Shengjing City, and half a month ago, he was with the young master of Ji Shitang. After signing a contract, he bought my medicinal materials for 3,000 guans, but now the villain spends manpower and material resources to transport the medicinal materials across the river from Jinzhou, but the shopkeeper refuses to accept the account, and asks the adults to decide."

The onlookers on the side spit when they heard the words: "Bah! You know that the son of shopkeeper Sun is an idiot, and you even coaxed them to sign the deed. If you have a black heart, you are not afraid that your ancestors' graves will be digged up!"

The old god Zhang Yuanqing was there, and he said with a chuckle: "His name is written in black and white, even if I report it to the government, I will be justified. Whatever you say."

The old man next to him was Shopkeeper Sun. Hearing this, he spat directly on his face. He looked like an old man with a personality. take it."

"His grandmother! You immortal thing! You dare to spit on my father?! I tell you, you can either take your daughter to pay off the debt, or I will send your stupid son to prison!" Zhang Yuanqing Wiping his face angrily, he was a profiteer.

Seeing this, Qian Tong went over and said to Shen Miaoping: "This Ji Shitang moved to Shengjing city three months ago. Shopkeeper Sun has good medical skills and has been donating herbs to the poor, but unfortunately he has raised a stupid son, he is afraid of being taken by others. It's a hole."

Shen Miaoping was thoughtful after hearing this, smiled and said to Zhang Yuanqing, "Are you also from Jinzhou? It's a coincidence, so is this official."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help sighing secretly. They only thought that there was a nest of snakes and rats. There is nothing good in being an official. Shopkeeper Sun is afraid that it will be unlucky.

Zhang Yuanqing smiled instantly, and he followed the stick and said: "The villain is really fortunate in his three lives. It is a fellow countryman with a person like the adult. In the future, when you say it out, your face will be very glorious."

After he finished speaking, he stuffed a silver note into Shen Miaoping's sleeve without a trace. Seeing that the face value was not small, the shopkeeper Sun saw it, and he pouted again, and everyone in the loud voice could hear, "God officer!"

Shen Miaoping felt that she could not be scolded in vain, so he smiled and accepted it. He opened it and found that it was a one-hundred-point silver note. He shook his head and said, "You make it difficult for this official to handle it."

After he finished speaking, he put the silver note into his arms and put his hand in his sleeve to make an eight. The implication was that he was too little.

Zhang Yuanqing was stunned when he saw this, as if he had never seen such blatant acceptance of bribes, but he thought that he would be able to get 3,000 guans later, so he gritted his teeth and quietly stuffed him with 8 more 100-guan silver bills, embarrassed. With a smile on his face, he said, "Please also ask the adults to plead for the people's injustice."

"It's easy to talk, let's show the deed to this official."

Shen Miaoping acted like this, causing the surrounding sighs to sound one after another, Shopkeeper Sun closed his old eyes, his hands hidden in his sleeves trembled, and his face was full of ashes.

In the teahouse on the top sat a few outstanding young masters, one of them slapped the table in anger when he saw this: "I'm really angry! How can you bully the old man like this! This, this... Yuzhi, you are too!"

So blind!

The playboys sitting in this circle are all well-known scourges of Shengjing, but scourges are scourges, and they are not obedient in the rebellious period. They have a bloody chivalrous heart in their heart. , it is rare to go out and gather them together today, nothing more than a sentence—

The newly appointed censor of the city is my person, so don't make trouble with your tails tucked.

However, when everyone saw this out of the window, they were all filled with righteous indignation. The one who spoke just now was Zhao Xi, the youngest son of Prince Su's family. Then it came out baldly.

Xie Yuyi was wearing a black casual dress with a folded collar. He had embroidered a soaring Costume with silver thread on his left shoulder. Tea, looked away from the cyan figure below: "He didn't say that the old man was guilty, what are you doing in such a hurry."

Zhao Xi was very angry: "All the money! He has all the money!"

The old god Xie Yuzhi was talking: "I don't want to take the money that I give you for free. Do you want me to give you a thousand dollars for free?"

Zhao Xi happily stretched out his hand: "Yes!" Father Wang was afraid that he would cause trouble, and money was always tight, and it was not enough to drink and eat every day.

Xie Yuzhi said: "I'm not a fool, why should I give you money for nothing."

While they were talking, Shen Miaoping had already read the deed, Zhang Yuanqing had clearly made careful arrangements in advance, the regulations were clear and had no loopholes, and it was clearly stated that if they could not get 3,000 yuan, they would use Ji Shitang's daughter. party as collateral.

Three thousand coin, according to the ratio of the Great Jin Dynasty, is equivalent to more than 800,000 in later generations. A small shop in Ji Shitang opened not long ago. How can there be so much money? The medicinal materials are usually grown from their own yard.

Now Shopkeeper Sun can either collect 3,000 guans, hand over the family's recipe, or let his stupid son go to court.

Shen Miaoping looked at it for a long time, returned the deed, and finally touched her chin and said, "This deed... seems to be fine."

Then he turned to Shopkeeper Sun: "Sir, do you think you are losing money, or do you need to pay off the debt with prescriptions, or do you hand in someone?"

Shopkeeper Sun's answer was another "Bah!", and he laughed in an old voice: "I want to use my family's recipe to greedy for ill-gotten wealth, dreaming! I won't let you guys succeed if I die, you guys. You are a doctor in vain! This old man will make the thousand gold recipes public, you...you can't succeed!"

He turned around and was about to enter the medicine hall, but was stopped by Zhang Yuanqing and a group of servants: "Old man, don't know what's wrong!"

The Qianjin recipes passed down by the shopkeeper Sun's family include the rare and difficult diseases of all sizes from ancient times to the present. The prescriptions above have been lost for a long time, and they can be said to be worth a thousand dollars.

A crowd of onlookers who had been greatly favored by Shopkeeper Sun shouted to Shen Miaoping, "Sir! Shopkeeper Sun is a good person! You must not let the traitor succeed!"

"Yes, yes! My little tiger is still cured by him!"

Shen Miaoping cupped her hands towards the surroundings and said, "This official only acts according to the law. There is really no problem with this deed. Even though Shopkeeper Sun is pitiful, this official can only deal with it according to the law."

As soon as these words came out, someone in the crowd scolded: "God official! You just received Zhang Yuanqing's money, so naturally speak for him!"

Qian Tong drew his sword and was furious: "Who dares to insult the court officials, stand up!"

Everyone looked left and right, but no one answered.

Shen Miaoping waved his hand and signaled him to forget: "Treasurer Sun is affectionate, Zhang Yuanqing is reasonable, it is not known if there is any grievance, but it really makes it difficult for this official... Ah, it's better than this, in ancient times Dou E had grievances, and the sky will snow in June. , the three years of drought, it is better for me to imitate it, put this deed against the sun, and present it under the sun, I believe God will tell us what to do."

Zhao Xi sneered upstairs: "The sour scholar who is stupid in reading and reading, thanks to you, you can see it with one face."

Xie Yuzhi said: "That's better than writing a piece of shit."

Not only did Zhao Xi think it was unreliable, but the dandy next to him also thought it was unreliable, but because of Xie Yuzhi's face, it was difficult to say anything, and the people watching below were even more unbelievable.

"Dou E, it's only after death that the snow fell!"

"It's sunny now!"

Shen Miaoping: "Whoever dares to make a fuss, just pull it down and hit the board!"

After speaking to Zhang Yuanqing, he said to Zhang Yuanqing: "Please devoutly point the deed to the sun, limited to half a column of incense. If this matter is not selfish, you can spread it out under the sun in an upright manner, and there is no abnormality in the sky. You win."

There were boos in his ears, Zhang Yuanqing thought that the money just now was not in vain, and he did as he was told, and he did not believe that it would not be possible to pour a heavy rain in the time of Banzhuxiang.

The people began to curse Shen Miaoping in a low voice, but he didn't care, he only played with the crystal pendant around his waist, which he borrowed from Xie Yuzhi this morning, there was nothing he could do, the official position was low, and there was no purple gold. Hanging fish bags, there must be a valuable outfit to bluff people.

In a place that no one could notice, a little bit of sunlight was gathered quietly, Zhang Yuanqing’s paper was transparent under the sun, and the handwriting was clearly visible, Shen Miao moved her hands, and that little bit of sunlight quietly stopped on the deed “Three thousand coin " on the word "thousand".

Zhang Yuanqing held the deed in one hand and the other behind his back, laughed at the shopkeeper Sun, and vividly interpreted the word villain's power: "Old man, you hand over the Qianjin Fang as soon as possible to save me trouble, and God will not help you. Na!"

As time passed bit by bit, he didn't notice that a small black hole appeared on the deed at some point, and it gradually spread out until someone in the crowd shouted: " Oops! Look at everyone! Why is this paper smoking!"

Zhang Yuanqing was suddenly shocked, and his face changed greatly when he reacted, and he hurriedly sprayed some spit stars to wipe out the insignificant sparks.

An old lady behind her said, "Shit! God punishes you!"

"Bah!" Zhang Yuanqing waved his sleeves, and the rogue said: "What happened? Why didn't I know? I was talking nonsense with my eyes open! I didn't see it, and neither did the lord! Are you saying that, lord?"

The second half of the sentence became flattering again and Shen Miao nodded in accordance with his words: "Well, this official did not see anything just now, half a column of incense time has passed, there is no abnormality in the sky, you have won."

After he finished speaking, he pulled the deed back and said to the shopkeeper Sun, "Old gentleman, do you think you will give him three pieces of money as agreed, or will you take out the Qianjin Fang to pay off the debt?"

Zhang Yuanqing is addicted to money, and his ears are better than anyone else's. Hearing this, he quickly raised three fingers and whispered, "Your Excellency is wrong! Wrong! It's three thousand dollars! It's not three dollars!"

Shen Miaoping pulled back his sleeves: "What's wrong, what's wrong? Your lord will never be wrong, even if you are wrong, you are right, three thousand dollars

It was only after everyone realized that what Shen Miaoping had just said was three coin instead of 3,000 coin, Shopkeeper Sun also opened his eyes in surprise.

Shen Miaoping held up the deed and swung it around in front of the people: "Look at it, look at it, is this official lying? Is it written on San Guan Qian?"

"Oh! It's really three coins! God! God!"

"God has eyes!"

"Hahahaha Zhang Yuanqing, this turtle grandson, stealing chickens will not be a loss! Tell him to sell counterfeit medicines to harm people, that's right!"

"Impossible!" Zhang Yuanqing blushed anxiously, his voice was broken, he could not care about the superiority and inferiority and snatched the deed from Shen Miaoping's hand, but was horrified to find that the word "thousand" had been burned.

Shen Miaoping smiled and took up all the colors in this world, he brushed off his robe and said, "This official limits you to transport all the medicinal materials to Ji Shitang within today, otherwise you will be sentenced to a crime of fraud and directly enter the Jail!"

Zhang Yuanqing's face turned pale: "Sir, you can't do this, you can't do this, you accept it...you accept it..."

Shen Miaoping approached with a smile, "What did this officer receive?"

Zhang Yuanqing gritted his teeth and turned his heart: "You charged the villain 900 yuan!"

Shen Miaoping was incredulous: "I accepted it, but you gave it to this official voluntarily, and this official did not force you. There is no law in Dajin saying that someone can't take money for free."

The crowd of onlookers laughed suddenly when they heard this, Zhang Yuanqing was suddenly stimulated, his breath choked, he actually fainted to death, Shen Miaoping didn't bother to care about him, and directly took out the deed and handed it to Shopkeeper Sun, "This is yours. Medicine, you can rely on this to ask Zhang Yuanqing for goods in the future, if he doesn't comply, he will come to me, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is at the end of the street."

There are many people, and although the movement he just played with the crystal pendant was subtle, it was not seen by no one. He knew that he was helping the shopkeeper Sun's family around the corner, and there was a burst of applause: "My lord is wise! Your wise man! "

"I'm the one who blamed you for waiting!"

"Master Qingtian!"

Shopkeeper Sun paused, then bowed his hands and thanked him, "Thank you sir."

After that, he threw the deed to the ground in front of everyone's eyes: "The old man doesn't care about his medicinal materials, who knows if it's fake!"

This little old man was strangely interesting, Shen Miaoping smiled: "The contract book is yours, so you can dispose of it at your own discretion, but you treat patients for free and distribute medicinal herbs widely, although it is a good intention, it has ruined the business of other pharmacies and ruined the shop. The balance of the city is even more annoying to some people, and you have to eat yourself, right? Don't do this in the future."

Then he took out the bank note that Zhang Yuanqing had just given from his arms: "The money will be placed with you. If there are poor people who can't afford medical care in the future, they will be deducted from it, and the deducted money will be yours, and it will be counted as the collection of Ji Shitang."

Nine hundred guan is not a small number. During the war and turbulent years, life was very hard, and ordinary people could only chew ten guans of money a year. Shopkeeper Sun’s hands were shaking when he took the money, his eyes were hot, and his words were incomplete: “Old man… old man…”

The people were also silent for a while, but Shen Miaoping ignored it and waved his sleeves and said, "Alright, let's all go, don't get stuck in the middle of the road, the horses and carriages will not be able to pass."

When everyone heard the words, they were surprisingly obedient. They didn't need Qian Tong to lead people to drive them away, and they dispersed in an instant. It was just that before leaving, the women all bowed their knees and the men clasped their fists, and they all whispered, "Thank you, my lord."

The ancient people were still simple, in fact Shen Miaoping did nothing.

Xie Yuzhi took everything upstairs to his eyes, used a teacup to hold back the smile on his lips, his eyes softened unconsciously, and when he looked at Zhao Xi again, his face turned red for a while, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a smart person, a good official. , I misunderstood him."

Someone next to him said, "It's much stronger than the previous censors of the city."

"It's amazing, how did the paper burn?"

"I saw it, I saw it, he fiddled with the jade pendant around his waist, and then suddenly a light spot appeared on the paper, and it ignited with a swipe. Could it be that he can master immortal art? Is the jade pendant also a magic weapon of the fairy family? Brother Yu, do you know what happened?"

Shen Miaoping was always worried that he had no money, but he did not expect that on the first day when the new official took office, the fortunes rolled over. The first sentence you open your mouth is mindless,

"I saw it."

see what? I see mountains, mountains and rivers~

Shen Miaoping put her hands on her sleeves and looked down on the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in front of her, looking like a veteran cadre: "What did you see?"

The little fat man said: "You have a magic weapon from the fairy family. I saw it. As soon as you move the jade pendant on your body, the paper will burn. Make a price and I will buy it."

"You said this?"

After driving Qian Tong and others away, Shen Miaoping tore off the crystal pendant from his waist: "This is not easy to obtain, it requires a high-quality crystal stone, supplemented by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of sun and moon, and it takes countless manpower and material resources to get it. You can't buy it in a small piece."

The little fat man said: "Hmph, there is nothing in the world that I can't afford, you can make a price."

Shen Miao calmly said that I know that you are not short of money, you are a nouveau riche, and I will feel sorry for myself if you don't kill you: "Six thousand, plus a piece of high-quality crystal stone."

Hearing this, the little fat man squinted his round eyes: "For such a small stone, do you want me 6,000 pieces? Also add a high-quality crystal stone? Why don't you go grab it!"

Shen Miaoping flicked the crystal pendant on her hand, "This item has more than one effect of igniting fire. It is cheap for you to ask for so much. It's okay to show it to you."

After he finished speaking, he leaned over and twisted an ant from the ground in his palm, handed it to the little fat man, and asked with a smile, "Can you see this ant's legs?"
