Chapter 82
I saw oil stars floating on the water surface of three of the bowls, but the water in only one bowl remained unchanged.

"What do you want us to see?"

"Master, isn't this obvious? In these three bowls of water, there are oil stars floating on the surface of the water, but there is no oil star in the other bowl. Think about it, why do these money have oil stars? Because you often touch the money with greasy hands, why does this There is no oil in the silver in the bowl of water, because the silver has not been touched by greasy hands."

"Think about who's hands are often stained with oil stars. The plaintiff's job is to sell scallion pancakes, so everyone knows."

"Then why there are no oil stars floating on the surface of this bowl of water is because this piece of silver was put in later."

Everyone looked suddenly enlightened.

"You're talking nonsense, you can't get the oil star on it by myself, I got it on by myself eating green onion pancakes."

"May I ask when did you eat the scallion pancakes?"

"Just before, I bought scallion pancakes at his stall."

"That's right."

"What's right."

"Let's do the experiment again, and ask Brother Yacha to take two basins and put water in them."

Yacha looked at the official, who nodded in agreement.

Soon, Yamen came over with two basins of water.

"What to do now."

"Plaintiff and defendant are now invited to wash their hands in the sink."

The man selling scallion pancakes washed his hands without hesitation, but the scholar hesitated.

Now everyone can see that the money should be for selling scallion pancakes, and it was this scholar who saw the money and took it for himself.

"Defendant, you haven't washed your hands yet."

With so many people watching, Xiucai couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to wash his hands.

After the two of them washed their hands, when the water in the washbasin calmed down, everyone couldn't help stretching their heads to look.

I saw oil stars floating on the top of the water that the hawker selling green onion pancakes washed his hands, but the water that Xiucai washed his hands did not change at all.

"Master Guan, it's obvious now that this wallet belongs to the plaintiff. Xiucai himself said that his hands were stained with oil from eating scallion pancakes before, and he didn't have time to wash his hands during the time they were in court. Then this wallet Why is the money in it stained with oil? The answer is obvious."

"You are talking nonsense, how can I tell how much money is in the wallet?"

"I wanted to return my wallet before. He asked me how much money was in the wallet. I thought he would return the wallet to me after I answered the question. How could he turn his face and deny it?"

After listening to it, everyone looked at this scholar with contempt. Although this scholar was shameless, his face had not yet reached the highest level. He felt ashamed to be despised by so many eyes.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, this wallet is mine."

"Reporting to my lord, since he can take out a tael of silver and put it in his wallet to recharge, then he must have another wallet on him, and he can be searched."

"Scholar, do you admit it yourself, or should I have someone search you."

Xiucai sat down on the ground.

"My lord, I was wrong. This wallet really belongs to him. I am obsessed with money. Please forgive me."

"Master, this kind of mind is not righteous. I suggest that master report to the higher authorities and get rid of his reputation."

"No, sir, I am willing to accept other punishments, but I don't want to lose my reputation. I studied hard for ten years and finally got admitted to the scholar. I can't be a commoner."

"Master, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

"It's too heavy for the master to get rid of his fame, so it's better to fine him a little money."

This scholar can't be beaten without getting rid of his fame. In ancient times, there were few educated people, and the imperial court valued scholars.

"Then how much do you think the fine will be?"

"Just a fine of 100 taels, we will keep this money for ourselves."

"Okay, as you want."

Seeing what the official and the teacher were talking about, everyone wanted to know how to judge.

Jiang Chen's hearing was very good, although they spoke softly, they could hear them all.

He didn't feel anything, this kind of punishment was enough.

"Now the sentence is pronounced. A scholar who sees the money and framed others should have lost his reputation and be demoted to a commoner. However, it is not easy for you to study. You can avoid losing your reputation, but you still have to be punished. You will be fined 100 taels, and the wallet will be returned. Plaintiff, defendant, do you have any objections?"

"No... no."

Compared with getting rid of fame and fame, 100 taels is a lot, but it is already much lighter. If he doesn't know what to do and angers the master at that time, it will not be worth the loss.

After selling green onion pancakes and getting back the money, he kept kowtowing to the official, and when he was about to kowtow to Jiang Chen and thank him, he had already retreated and went outside with Tie Xinlan.

Tie Xinlan looked at him with admiration.

"Don't worship brother, brother is just a legend."

"Pfft."

How could this sentence be so funny when he said it seriously.

The two led the horse and headed out towards Longmen Town.

Before leaving Longmen Town, a group of ragged beggars surrounded him with bamboo sticks and broken bowls.

Jiang Chen's white clothes are better than snow, he doesn't want to be soiled by these beggars, it's not that he looks down on these people, it's just that it's troublesome to change and wash.

Jiang Chen took out dozens of copper coins and threw them on the ground. These beggars scrambled one after another, snatching them nimbly, and those with slow hands and feet could only watch. Occasionally, if the weak ones picked up the money, they would be snatched away by the strong ones.

Jiang Chen couldn't do anything when he saw it.

Law of the jungle is the rule in any world.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there are fights.

Walking out of "Longmen Town", they walked along the main road. Today's weather is fine and cloudless.

Jiang Chen and the others were not in a hurry, so they were not in a hurry to hurry.

Jiang Chen closed his eyes and practiced again.

Tie Xinlan was used to the strangeness, she looked at his soft side face, she didn't feel sad at this moment, as if she would be satisfied as long as she looked at him like this forever.

A few vultures were gnawing on a rotting corpse in front of it. This corpse was beyond recognition, and it was impossible to know how he died.

The stench could be smelled from the corpse far away, Tie Xinlan couldn't help covering her nose, her stomach was churning continuously, and she had a strong desire to vomit.

And Jiang Chen was immersed in cultivation, and he didn't feel anything about the outside world. Unless there was danger, he would only react physically to anyone who exposed murderous intent to him.

Tie Xinlan pinched her legs, her horse sped up, and Jiang Chen's horse quickly followed.

Just when he thought it was all right, those vultures suddenly flew over and attacked Jiang Chen.

Why do vultures attack living people? Aren't they always interested in dead bodies?

The most likely reason is that they regarded Jiang Chen as a dead person.

No matter how Jiang Chen ran around on the horse, he was still motionless on the horse, even his breathing and heartbeat were very weak, like a dying person.

Jiang Chen's internal energy operation has reached the "detailed" state. He can control the movement of body organs. You must know that the movement of viscera and breathing consume body energy. If you can slow down this kind of activity, your body energy will last for a long time. Maybe how long? No need to eat.

This is very similar to "bigu" cultivation, but the principle is different.
