Late Night Tales Of The Capital

Chapter 51: two knives

Views:

The Yamen of the prefect of Luoyang City is located on the central line of Nancheng, extending in all directions and convenient transportation.

As soon as Ye Que entered the magistrate's yamen, he could see large crowds of common people pouring out from the Thirty-Sixth Lane. Overlooking from a high altitude, it looks like black lines, and the central point of convergence is also the magistrate's office.

Since the founding of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there have been clear provisions in the law that all cases need to be transparent, and all trial sites are open to the public for supervision.

When Song Gongming, the prefect of Luoyang, was about to settle the case, the lobby was already three floors in and out, surrounded by people. If you look carefully, you can clearly find that most of the rudder masters of Tianmen are in it.

"Who is in the hall and why are you here?" Song Gongming asked in a deep voice as he knocked on the gavel.

"I'm here, Ye Que, for a business dispute." Ye Que said loudly.

"Business disputes? Please tell me the specific reasons." Song Gongming looked at the crowds outside the hall, and was actually a little worried in his heart. If it was a shocking case or suing dignitaries, in front of so many people, But it's not easy to deal with. But as soon as he heard that it was a business dispute, he immediately made up his mind that a business dispute, no matter how serious the dispute, was just a matter of money.

"The thing is like this. A few days ago, I bought a batch of swords at the Xiayu weapon market and wanted to ship them to the Western Regions for sale. The swords are black iron swords produced by the Absolute Sword Villa, one hundred and thirty taels, and the swords are produced by the Absolute Sword Villa. Yanling knife, one hundred and twelve taels. You pay the money and deliver the goods, and you will not be responsible afterwards."

Ye Que spoke with a straight voice, and continued to talk unhurriedly, "But when I got home, I found out by accident that these swords are defective products. They look similar to ordinary swords and are indistinguishable, but they can be used like tofu. Scumbag."

Saying that, Ye Que took out two knives from behind and pointed to his left hand, "This is the Yanling Knife from Absolute Sword Villa."

Pointing to the right side again, "This is my kitchen knife for cutting vegetables."

"I can demonstrate the quality of this knife for my lord, whether it is a high-quality product or a defective product." Ye Que took a step back, "My lord can have someone check it first."

The whole story was very clear, and the cause and dispute were not complicated. Song Gongming waved his hand, and a yamen servant went up to pick up the two knives and checked them carefully, then nodded to Song Gongming.

Not talking nonsense, Ye Que took a step forward, raised the two knives, first showed them to Song Gongming, then turned around for all the common people present to take a look.

Afterwards, the two knives were raised high above the head, staggered and slashed.

"when!"

An ear-piercing golden cry!

"Boom!"

Half of the Yanling Saber fell to the ground.

Song Gongming in the lobby, the yamen servants on both sides of the lobby, and the people watching outside the lobby were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene. A kitchen knife and a brand-new Yanling knife were chopped at each other. The kitchen knife was intact, but the Yanling knife was chopped It became two sections.

"My lord, this knife was produced by Juejian Mountain Villa in Luoyang. Since the transaction is clear of money and goods, I can consider myself unlucky. But I hope that my lord will strictly investigate, and this inferior weapon must not be passed on from our Luoyang, from our prosperous Tang Dynasty. If it is found out that the quality of the weapon is indeed a problem, then Absolute Sword Villa owes us an apology to the weapon dealer!"

At the end of the sentence, Ye Que waved his hand behind him, and Chu Dongnan immediately carried a large box into the lobby, and put the box on the lobby with a bang, "These are the hundred weapons I bought from Absolute Sword Villa. One was damaged by me at home, the other was damaged in a demonstration just now, and there are ninety-eight swords left, please accept the evidence."

"Is this knife made of meat? Everything will be broken?"

"Meat? I don't think it's even as good as paper, it's too rotten."

"See, the mark on the handle of the knife, remember, it means Absolute Sword Villa, and you must never buy anything from his family in the future. No, I have to tell my uncle. His family opened an escort agency and used this knife But I’m about to die, I’m afraid even thinking about it.”

"Fortunately, it wasn't sold to the army. Otherwise, if the two armies confronted each other, our soldiers would die several times more with just this sword."

"Sin!"

The common people onlookers quickly called Absolute Sword Villa a piece of shit. As for Song Gongming in the lobby, although he vaguely felt that this lawsuit was a bit strange, there were too many onlookers, and Ye Que, who came to sue, didn't have too much appeal.

Ye Que didn't ask for money or life, but just asked for an explanation, and handed over the physical evidence to the Yamen on the spot. From Song Gongming's point of view, this is the end of the day, and the truth of the matter can only be found out later. Gathering so many people in the magistrate's yamen is always ugly.

People gather quickly and disperse even faster, and people go to the Yamen in a short time.

Although Keren is gone, the matter will not end there.

You know, this is Luoyang, the capital of the gods. There are countless traders, horse teams, troubadours, juggling troupes, and foreign missions coming and going from here every day.

Similarly, the speed at which a piece of news spreads here is also astonishing.

Before dark, the swords of Absolute Sword Villa were spread throughout Luoyang City like tofu.

"Have you heard, today in the magistrate's yamen, someone sued Absolute Sword Villa, just for a knife."

"How could I have never heard of it? The kitchen knife cut off the Yanling knife."

"In this world, it's not honest to be a knife."

"The world is going down."

From wine shops to brothels, from teahouses to theater gardens, from streets and alleys to deep mansions, the news was spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and by the time it got dark, it had passed through countless mouths.

The original kitchen knife cut off the Yanling knife, and it was slowly fabricated into countless versions. Some people even said that the sword of Juejian Villa was made of wood and paper.

Words are awesome!

Everything is afraid of rumors!

Because, after everyone hears something, they will think about it in their brains, and when they say it, they will add their own judgments and modifications, and the distance from the truth will become farther and farther away.

"Brother Ye, how do you grow your brain! It's amazing!" Qian Shuxiao sat in the teahouse, listening to others' discussions, with an excited expression on his face.

Ye Que smiled at the corner of his mouth, "If you can solve things with a sword, I will suggest you use a sword. If you can't solve things with a sword, you must learn to use your brain. There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart, no matter how strong the dam is, people will not think about it."

After listening to Ye Que's lecture, Qian Shuxiao picked up a cup of tea, "Substitute tea for wine, respect to the sect master!"

After toasting the tea, Qian Shuxiao pretentiously savored it, and smacked his lips back, "Borrowing a knife to kill people, I like it!"

Just this night.

It is said that the Absolute Sword Villa on the outskirts of Luoyang City is brightly lit all night.

The owner Lin Shan got angry all night and even smashed a beloved porcelain vase.

It's no wonder that he got angry. For two days and six meals, almost 90% of the disciples didn't eat enough. This morning, there were eighteen more lunatics in the village. Not only did the goods that were expected to be delivered not arrive, but they also shouted that they had seen a ghost, disturbing people's hearts. Just now someone reported that there was news from Luoyang City that there was something wrong with the quality of his weapons, and swords were not as good as paper!

"Shit!"

"Your paper can cut people!"

"It's all nonsense!"

(The second update today, if there are no accidents, there should be more, I want to break through myself.)
