Song Yuanhuanzhi

Chapter 169 Solutions
The county magistrate looked at the boy kneeling in the hall, "..."

Being forced to work overtime is a real pain.

The county magistrate had no choice but to sit back, straightened his official hat, cleared his throat, then slapped the gavel, and asked, "Who is in the hall, and what is it?"

And Song Huan and Fu Yuanzhi also got into the first row of auditorium when everyone didn't react.

Fu Yuanzhi looked down at Song Huan holding his hand, which was as soft as bones, but also covered with a thin callus.

The heat was transmitted from his hands, and Fu Yuanzhi only felt that his ears were hot, and he was afraid that they were about to smoke.

At this time, Gao Dalang had already explained his origin clearly.

The county magistrate asked again, "Then why do you ask me to make decisions for you?"

Only then did Gao Dalang tell the story, "The villain heard the yelling of the seller of jade bracelets on the street. He was carrying a small wooden stand on which all the jade bracelets were hung. He yelled as he walked, and the villain went I wanted to buy a bracelet to give to my family, but because I was running too fast, I bumped into the peddler selling jade bangles just as I turned away from the courtyard wall, and the peddler and the small wooden frame on his back were knocked down on the ground."

"When the salesman untied the wooden frame on his back, there were fragments on the wooden frame and the ground, and there was no complete jade bracelet."

"The villain knows that he has caused a catastrophe, and he is willing to pay for it, but the peddler actually said that there are three hundred jade bracelets, and he wants the villain to pay 30 taels of silver. The villain sees how there are three hundred jade bracelets in those fragments." , isn’t this trying to blackmail people? So the villain wants to ask the adults to help the villain break it off.”

The county magistrate said, "What about the peddler? The messenger brought the peddler up."

The shopkeeper's clothes were a little messy, and he was carrying a bundle on his back, which was obviously a fragment of the jade bracelet.

I saw him kneeling under the hall with a bitter expression on his face.

The county magistrate directly ordered the shopkeeper to spread out the broken bracelets for everyone to have a look at.

The shopkeeper spread out the broken bracelet obediently.

The county magistrate took a closer look and said directly, "Are you sure it's three hundred pieces? You can only hang sixty or seventy pieces on this wooden frame at most, right?"

The shopkeeper's eyes shrank, and he said immediately, "My lord, the villain should die! The villain shouldn't lie to him, but there are 150 of them, my lord!"

Standing at Song Huan's position, he could see the salesman's eyes flickering. Obviously, he still wasn't telling the truth.

At this time, Gao Dalang also begged and shouted, "My lord, there will never be 150 of them!"

Gao Dalang looked at the shopkeeper and said angrily, "It's all here, and you still haven't told the truth!"

The shopkeeper was unmoved, fell to the ground, and said directly, "My lord! The villain is not lying, there are really 150 of them!"

For a while, the two parties were at a stalemate.

The county magistrate didn't think of a good solution for a moment.

At this moment, Fu Yuanzhi whispered something to Song Huan, and after Song Huan glanced at the broken jade bracelets on the ground, he got out of the crowd and left.

After Song Huan left, Fu Yuanzhi took the opportunity to bow to the county magistrate in the hall, and said, "My lord, I have a way to identify how many broken bracelets there are."

The county magistrate looked at Fu Yuanzhi's Confucian shirt and boots, and he knew that he was at least a scholar. His expression was disturbed from the beginning and he returned to his usual expression, "This is this?"

Fu Yuanzhi put the documents he was carrying with him in the palm of his hand. Seeing this, the yamen servants at the side stepped forward to take the documents and handed them to the county magistrate.

When the county magistrate saw it, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes, then he smiled, and returned the document to the yamen servant. After Fu Yuanzhi put the document away, the county magistrate asked, "Does Fu Xiaolian have any good ideas?"

Fu Yuanzhi saluted, and then said, "Students have to wait for someone to come back. It won't be long. During this period, adults can take a good rest."

The county magistrate nodded, "Then just wait for Fu Xiaolian's arrangement."

After a quarter of an hour, Song Huan came back. She saluted the county magistrate, and then handed Fu Yuanzhi something wrapped in a handkerchief.

Fu Yuanzhi bowed to the county magistrate, "My lord, can the student ask the shopkeeper some questions?"

The magistrate waved his hand.

Only then did Fu Yuanzhi open the things in his hand, and a jade bracelet that sold for about the same price as the peddler appeared in his hand. He walked up to the peddler and said, "Look carefully, is the jade bracelet in my hand the same as the one you sold earlier?" Almost the same?"

The salesman couldn't understand Fu Yuanzhi's operation for a while, so he just looked around and nodded honestly, "Almost."

Fu Yuanzhi asked again, "The size is about the same?"

The shopkeeper nodded.

Fu Yuanzhi confirmed again, "Hold it, and see if the feel and weight are similar?"

The shopkeeper was confused, took the jade bracelet, touched it perfunctorily, weighed it again, and nodded.

At this time, the county magistrate is the same as the shopkeeper, he doesn't know what Fu Yuanzhi is going to do, but he is the county magistrate, so of course he can't act so ignorant, even if he has doubts in his heart, he can't ask immediately.

Fu Yuanzhi nodded in satisfaction, and bowed directly to the county magistrate, "My lord, the students say hello, and we can proceed to the next step."

The county magistrate nodded in satisfaction with a look of "I understand, I am very satisfied".

God knows, he's just pretending.

Fu Yuanzhi said again, "May I borrow something from your lord?"

The county magistrate nodded, "Fu Xiaolian just talk."

"Scale." Fu Yuanzhi said.

The county magistrate waved his hand, and the yamen servant immediately went down and brought up the scale.

At this point, the county magistrate understood the meaning behind Fu Yuanzhi.

I only regret it in my heart, why didn't he think of it!

It must be Li San's case that made him lose his mind all of a sudden.

The next step is to apply the division in the four arithmetic operations learned in elementary school.

Total weight ÷ unit weight = total number

To the astonishment of the shopkeeper, Fu Yuanzhi obtained the number of jade bracelets from a pile of broken jade bracelets.

No need to piece together, just simply weigh the total weight of the broken bracelets and the weight of a single bracelet, and then perform calculations to get the result.

The result is, 63 jade bracelets.

The county magistrate sternly said to the shopkeeper, "How dare you deceive me!"

The shopkeeper was really scared this time. He trembled on the ground and panicked. He said bluntly, "The villain is fascinated by ghosts and ghosts for a while, please forgive the villain!"

With so many people watching, if they say forgiveness, they will forgive it. How prestige does the county magistrate have? He is sure to "kill" this chicken!
The county magistrate directly ordered Gao Dalang to return the 62 jade bracelets to the shopkeeper.

But because the salesman cheated the county magistrate, he finally got [-] boards as punishment.

According to the initial asking price of 30 taels and [-] taels from the shopkeeper, it is calculated as a bracelet of [-] taels.

62 bracelets are [-] wen.

Gao Dalang had a bitter face, he could afford the two hundred taels of silver, but he couldn't afford the six taels of silver!

In the end, it was Fu Yuanzhi who lent it to Gao Dalang, and the money was lost.

Of course, Gao Dalang couldn't suffer, he lost the money, and seeing that the shopkeeper didn't intend to give him the broken bracelet, he snatched it directly and said with a glare, "Even if I bought it!"

Shopkeeper, "..."

Before the salesman had anything to say, he was dragged down by the yamen servants to beat him.

Gao Dalang is a young and strong boy, otherwise Uncle Gao would not have let him go out to do part-time work with his fellow villagers.

Gao Dalang was particularly grateful for Fu Yuanzhi's help, and only said that he would ask his father to pay back the money when he got home.

Fu Yuanzhi laughed, "It's nothing, let's do the calculation after we leave Changliu Village. The money will be used to deduct the rent, and we can talk about the rest."

Gao Dalang was a little embarrassed on the face, but he complained in his heart.

His father was able to rent the house to Brother Fu because they valued the few taels of rent, but now it's good, he lost it all, and it's not good to live in, so they have to pay for it.

His legs hurt just thinking about it.
