Compete for the Song Dynasty

Someone patted Wang Pang: "It is estimated that the young man is like her relatives and friends, and the mother-in-law is a good person on weekdays, so she is fine."

Granny Ao's expression was beyond Wang Pang's imagination: he asked Wang Pang to help her sit up: "Who are you?"

This made Wang Pang answer: "Grandma Ao, I am Wang Pang of the Meyer Mansion."

Granny Ao could only sigh. She was a woman in her prime, but suddenly she became a down and out old woman overnight.It turns out that time-traveling does not mean that everything will start all over again, sometimes it is just going through a tribulation.

Yesterday, the Meyer Manor saw Wang Pang, who looked so much like the man who drove him to the Jishuitan. [

She shook her head in doubt, and said vigorously: "I just think you are like an old friend." After she finished speaking, she took a breath, as if she was very tired.

Wang Pang walked into her and said, "Is there something you need my help with, mother-in-law?"

Granny Ao looked at her carefully again, sighed and said, "Maybe I misidentified."

Wang Pang said: "Grandma Ao wants to find someone, I can help."

Granny Ao smiled sadly, what can he do to help?Finally she murmured: "Everywhere there is stagnant water, and in the middle of the night there is a deep pool."

Jishuitan!These three words flashed through Wang Pang's heart like lightning.

"Grandma Ao, do you want me to be an old friend?"

Wang Bang asked, he didn't think too much in his mind, he took off the black crystal, maybe it could help this woman.Granny Ao's hands were as dry as tree branches.Wang Pang took Granny Ao's hand.

Instead, Granny Ao smiled effortlessly: "Let's all live in peace, maybe I sincerely hope you are not."

Wang Pang knew that what Granny Ao said at this time would not be against her will. If she knew that the fates of the two people who traveled at the same time were so completely different, she would not feel at ease if Granny Ao died.

After Granny Ao finished speaking, she closed her eyes. Wang Pang wanted to hand the crystal into her hand, but Granny Ao clenched her skinny hands into fists.Seeing this, Wang Pang put his hand under Granny Ao's nose, and there was no breath between her mouth and nose.

Seeing that the crystal was still in his hand, he sighed, perhaps reincarnation is the best relief.What's so good about carrying the memories of the previous life?Even if you travel through time, you don't know who it will be or where you are.

Wang Pang walked out of the room and waved to the people outside. The neighbor's aunt hurried in to take care of it, took out a few taels of silver from her bosom, and asked Yuexia to hand it over to the neighbor committee to help with the burial.

Wang Bang was silent, he was lucky, but could he be so lucky all the time?Every period of life is an uncertain future.

Originally planned to leave in the first month of the month, Wang Pang deliberately moved ahead of time. There were too many things to do, such as finding the half of the white crystal stone when the time was ripe.If the purchase of tea goes well this time, you can go to Xixia with money.

Does the king have no money now?It is more than the average person, but to do big things, these families are just a drop in the bucket, not to mention that there is a big project in Jincheng County that has not started.In addition to He Libo, Lu Shenyan and his wife, there are five or six servants, four or five maids and wives, and coal miners from Jincheng County who need to spend.This kind of family fortune is faster.

It's a long way to go, but fortunately, I have previous experience, and this time I don't need to detour.Handing over the family affairs to Yan Zhihu, although she is a girl, she is no less capable than a man.

Wang Pang specially brought Lu Shenyan with him. Lu Shenyan was smart and heartfelt all the time. Since Wang Pang knew that He Libo's real name was Wanyan Libo, although he had always been brotherly, he knew that one day He Libo would leave sooner or later.Moreover, Wang Pang hoped that He Li Bo would not leave, so maybe there would be no Jin Kingdom in the future.

I think so, but try to leave a lot of things to Lu Shenyan to deal with. Fortunately, He Libo is careless, and his mind is always a little distracted recently. [

This trip to Jianzhou went very smoothly, after all, I went directly to see Cai Xiang. Wherever I went in the past, the most common person I saw was a county magistrate. Now I go out to meet the magistrates of different levels, and Wang Pang's worth is also different.Although it is not stated clearly, it can be regarded as purchasing by order.

Cai Xiang is about 50 years old, honest, honest, knowledgeable and skilled in calligraphy. He has a good reputation in Jianzhou, both in officialdom and in local business.During the court meeting on New Year's Day, Wang Pang also visited the capital, but Cai Xiang returned to Jianzhou a few days earlier than Wang Pang.

As for Wang Pang's visit this time, he mostly contacted the local tea merchants and consulted with Cai Xiang. According to the figures given by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he roughly made some reservations. When the new tea came out, these tea merchants would naturally send the tea to Bianjing.

Wang Pang was very low-key during this trip, maybe it was the matter of Grandma Ao that made Wang Pang have a different understanding of life.King Cai Xiang is here to intervene more, just to get acquainted, and he sees the weather is getting warmer day by day, and he is thinking about the affairs of Jincheng County, so he arranges for Lu Shenyan to follow up on the purchase of tea. Head west to Jincheng County.

This trip was farther, and Xiaoxing hurried on his way overnight and arrived in Jincheng County in mid-March.First arrange a place to live in the county, and He Libo went to find Yin Shijie and Yu Danian.Wang Pang first went to the county government to visit Cheng Hao.

From a distance, he saw people standing at the gate of the county government office looking in. Wang Pang stepped forward to look in. There were also some people standing in the yard. It turned out that they were all watching the trial of the county magistrate.

When Wang Pang walked into the courtyard, he saw Cheng Hao sitting in the hall of the county government office, and there were two people kneeling in the hall.

He cupped his hands like the people around him and asked, "Dear man, do you know what case is being tried?" The man didn't look at Wang Pang, he just answered Wang Pang briefly and said, "Fight for family property." He just stretched his neck Look inside.

To say that the brothers Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi are already well-known for their knowledge, during the Spring Festival, the school in the capital also posted a notice on the date of the two-person school's lectures.Wang Pang secretly thought that he came here just in time to watch Cheng Hao's trial.

It turned out that in this case, a county resident rented his elder brother's house. Many years later, a lot of coins buried in the ground were dug out of this house. Litigation.

This elder brother is no longer alive, and the two kneeling in the hall are the nephew suing the uncle.After hearing the two people's narration, the county residents who heard the trial talked a lot: ""Coins can't talk, let's see how this adult will break it? "

The side retorted: "The dead can't speak, no one can stop the matter."

Some said: "It should belong to the elder brother. If the younger brother is rich, why doesn't he buy a house?

The county residents talked more and more vigorously, and some said: "It should belong to my younger brother. He has been here for a long time, and he still has some savings if he doesn't buy a house."

It seems that everyone is the county magistrate, even the plaintiff and defendant kneeling there can't help but look back at the courtyard of the county government.

Cheng Hao patted the gavel, "Silence".The county people immediately quieted down.Wang Pang is funny, this Cheng Hao is usually a teacher, this meeting is really majestic.

Cheng Hao asked his nephew, the plaintiff, "Plaintiff, you said the coin belonged to your father. Do you know when your father buried the coin in the house?"

The nephew of the plaintiff replied: "Go back to your lord, it's been 40 years."

Cheng Hao asked again: "How long has the defendant borrowed your father to live in this house?"

The defendant looked wronged: "It's been 20 years. The coin was buried not long ago. My nephew happened to come to my house that day. Later, he forced someone to dig it out, saying that it was buried by my brother."

Cheng Hao made a dark face: "I didn't ask you!".The defendant wanted to say something, but the adult stopped him with a single sentence.The plaintiff looked at him with a little complacency on his face.

Cheng Hao asked: "Plaintiff, is the defendant telling the truth?" Listen to the plaintiff's confirmation.Cheng Hao immediately sent someone to take out the coin, put it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly.Read and asked the plaintiff: "Have you ever lied, plaintiff?" [

The plaintiff said: "Never!!"

Cheng Hao threw two coins in front of him: "Look carefully, the government now mints coins, due to the shortage of copper a few years ago, they use iron coins. Are these iron coins 40 years old?"

The plaintiff was smart enough to hear that the tone was not right, so he took the coin and looked left and right, raised it up to the light.Suddenly kowtowed: "The little man knows his mistake."

On the contrary, the defendant looked bewildered.Cheng Hao asked: "Defendant, the plaintiff already knew his mistake, do you want to sue him back?"

The defendant is simple and honest: "Sir, we are uncles and nephews, and I have borrowed this house for a long time, so I will not sue."

Seeing what they said, Cheng Hao asked them to sign and draw a pledge to announce their withdrawal from the hall. After everyone dispersed, Cheng Hao also walked down the hall and came to the courtyard. He had already seen Wang.

The county people walking outside were talking about "Your Excellency is really good at solving the case." "How else can I be the magistrate of the county." As they spoke, the county people dispersed from the courtyard of the county government.

Cheng Hao has already come to Wang Pang: "Brother Ruo Xian will be here so soon." He said and invited Wang Pang into the inner house.

Wang Pang said: "There is not much time to waste in Jianzhou. I also just arrived here, and I caught up with Bo Chun to decide the case, but I have learned the lesson."

Cheng Hao laughed and said: "I also just remembered seeing Zhang Zai in the capital, talking about you solving the horse case, and I had an idea. This bank note is marked, and this coin is the same."

The two were joking and came to the hall of the inner house. Seeing that there were many new books in the hall, Wang Pang asked: "Is Bo Chun buying new books?" The dormitory has already been set up, and I happened to go to the Imperial College when I went to the capital for the Spring Festival last time. I have approved some, and you can see that these are all for the dormitory.”

As he said that, he took out a brochure from the cabinet, which was all about the use of Wang Bang's sponsorship of the school.He pointed and said: "Look, these are all accounts. Now that I have bought books, I am still rich. I prepared these books and put them in the school dormitory. Everyone in the county can read them in the dormitory."

Wang Pang closed the account and said, "Do I still trust Bo Chun? If it's not enough, I'll help."

Cheng Hao said with a smile: "It's not enough, it's rich enough. I was just about to tell you, if a part of it is used to subsidize those who have excellent grades but poor families, as travel expenses for the exams in Beijing, would you like it?"

Wang Pang smiled and said, "Of course it couldn't be better."

Cheng Hao also seemed to be very satisfied with his actions, he said: "Recently, a gentleman came here with outstanding talents. And he admires my virtuous brother very much. If you have time, I can meet you sometime. "

When Wang Pang heard about a good-looking talent, he wanted to know him right away because he was talented and knowledgeable. Right now, it's just a matter of employing people. Besides, who knows who will be able to gain a foothold in the court in the future, so he readily agreed.
