Yu Shimingyan

Chapter 79
Ma observes that Ma Han has obtained the Taiwan decree, and distributes the lodgings for public servants.Since returning to Daxiangguo Temple, I saw only one person with a brick-topped turban on his back and a purple shirt on his back, saying: "Watch and worship tea." Together, we entered the tea house and came to order tea on the stove.The man in the purple shirt took out a package of pine nuts and walnut kernels from his arms, and poured them into two cups of tea.Observer asked: "What is the surname of the honorable official?" The man said: "The surname is Zhao, and the name is correct. The thief in Qian's mansion last night was a boy." Hearing that, the horse observer was sweating on his back, but he waited for the public to be arrested. he.After eating a cup of tea, I saw that the sky is below and the earth is above, and it's time to eat.Zhao Zhengdao: "Observation is drunk." Holding him, he took out a pair of scissors, cut off half of the observation shirt, and put it in the sleeve.After paying back the tea money, he distributed it to Dr. Tea and said, "I'll call someone to help observe." Zhao Zheng went by himself.Between two bowls of rice, Ma observed that the medicine in his stomach had passed, and he woke up.Seeing that Zhao Zheng was gone, Ma Xing went back.After sleeping all night, tomorrow will dawn, and I will follow Dayin to court.Dayin was riding a horse, just about to enter Xuande Gate, when he saw a man wrapped in a crooked hat and a soap shirt with a collar. .” Teng Dayin picked it up, and the man sang and went.When Dayin looked at it immediately, the goldfish belt wrapped around his waist could not see the tart tail.The slip reads: "Zhao Zheng, the thief from Gusu, reported to Da Yin Shangshu: All the lost property in Qian's house was stolen by Zheng Zheng. If Da Yin wants to find Zhao Zheng's house, it will be far away, and it will be only at present if he is close. .” Dayin looked more and more anxious.When the court hall returned to the Yamen, it was promoted to the hall immediately, and the petitions of the households were cited.The petitioner threw the box, and Dayin saw the tenth paper. There was a petition, and the above did not discuss anything according to the formula. On the petition, he only wrote a song "Xijiang Moon", saying: "It is the water that belongs to In the sea, the idler always enters the capital. Ma Situ is caught in the three capitals, and the clothes are hard to decide. The prince’s jade belt was stolen, and the goldfish of Dayin was cut off. Do you want to know the name of the idler? Said: "This is Zhao Zheng again, straight up!" He called Ma to observe Ma Han and asked him about the news of catching the thief.Ma Han said: "Because the villain didn't know Zhao Zheng, the thief, he was frustrated face to face yesterday. The thief committee is a master. The villain found out that he is the younger brother of Song Sigong in Zhengzhou. If he gets Song Si, he will have Zhao Zheng." Teng Da Yin suddenly thought: "Then Song Si stole the earth bank of Zhang Fu's family, and the complaint was not obtained." .Wang Dianzhi and Wang Zun reported: "It is difficult to determine the trace of this thief. Please allow time for the Lord. The officials must give rewards and hang them on the list. Those who are greedy for rewards will come out first. This business will be easy." Teng Dayin After listening, I will seize it within a month.According to him, he wrote the list: "If anyone who finds out the real stolen goods comes to report, the official will reward him with a thousand guan." tips.King Qian also bet a thousand guan.The two came to the house of forbidden soul Zhang Yuanwai again, and asked him to give a reward.Seeing that Zhang Yuanwai has lost [-] guan of property, where is he willing to give a reward?The crowd said: "Don't be a member of the staff, it's too small to lose the big. When you catch it, it's a good one to chase you back. The governor of the government also offered a reward for you, and the king of Qian also invested a thousand coins, but you refused. Dayin knows it, but he doesn't look good." Zhang Yuanwai couldn't say enough, so he wrote another reward list, barely enough to write five hundred guan.Ma Jian will go to the front of the mansion to hang up, and while dating Wang Dianzhi, they will be investigated separately.At that time, there were huge crowds of people looking at the list in front of the mansion.Song Sigong also read the list and went to find Zhao Zhenglai to discuss.Zhao Zhengdao: "But Wang Zun and Ma Han have no grievances a few days ago, so they will definitely increase the reward and seize us. But Zhang is stingy, and everything else is [-] guan, but you only give [-] guan. What a shame! How can we go to Hao to annoy him, so we can get angry." Song Sigong also blamed the former Fanwang Qidian for directly leading people to arrest him, and blamed Ma Guan for reporting that Zhao was his apprentice.At that moment, the two of you discussed with each other, decided on a plan, and said in unison: "Wonderful!" Zhao Zheng then handed over the hidden flower coiled dragon mutton fat white jade belt in King Qian's mansion to Song Sigong. As soon as the gold beads were wrapped, several famous treasures were found out and passed to Zhao Zheng.The two are separated and go to work separately.Let's say that Song Sigong just turned around, and met his elder brother who was the first to catch Yanli at Zhang Yuan's outer gate, and pulled him out of Xinzheng Gate in Shuntian until Hou Xing's house to rest.By the way: "I am useful to you today." The one who caught the fence said: "What is the benefactor's mission? I dare not disobey it." Song Sigong said: "If you do it, you can take advantage of a thousand coins to support your family." Li was taken aback, and shouted: "It's a sin! The villain has no good fortune." Song Sigong said: "You only rely on me, and it will benefit you." He took out the white jade belt with dark flowers and panlong, and taught Hou Xing to pretend to be a concubine. The official looked like, "Take this piece to the forbidden soul Zhang Yuanwai to release the money. This belt is a priceless treasure. You only need to unlock him three hundred guan, but you said to him: 'Come for redemption in three days. If you don't redeem it, Add another two hundred guan. You put it in the shop, and you can store it later.'" Hou Xing went according to plan.

Zhang Yuanwai is a money-grubbing person. Seeing that there is some interest in it, he should pay three hundred guan for no reason.Hou Xing took money to reply to Song Sigong.Song Sigong taught those who caught the fence to go to King Qian's gate to reveal the list and be the first.When King Qian heard that he had obtained the real stolen goods, he summoned Yan Li for an interrogation.The one who caught the fence said: "The young one went to the Jie Treasury to beg for money. Just in time, the supervisor sold the white jade belt to a customer in the north, asking for 500 taels. Some people said it came from the palace of the king, so the young one came out. " King Qian sent a hundred soldiers from the military academy to teach them how to make eyes for catching fences. Fei Yeruo ran to the house of the imprisoned member Zhang. Without any explanation, he searched the solution storehouse and found this white jade with dark flowers and coiled dragons. bring.When Zhang Yuanwai came out to argue, where are these military academies in charge of you?A rope was buckled, and the two supervisors in the reconciliation warehouse were brought to see King Qian.When King Qian saw this belt, it was obvious that it was genuine stolen goods, and the leader was worthy.So he wrote a Jun post and paid it to those who caught the fence, and there was a reward of one thousand strings on the treasury.

King Qian took a sedan chair, went to Kaifeng Mansion to pay homage to Dayin Teng, and sent Yudai and Zhang Fu to torture him.Dayin couldn't catch it by himself, but when King Qian sent it, he felt ashamed!Then he scolded: "You went to this mansion the day before yesterday to complain and loaded a lot of gold and jewels. I think you have a lot of things in your common people's house? But it turned out to be a thief! Tell me, this jade belt was stolen by someone. " Zhang Fu said: "The small ancestral property is not stolen by thieves. This belt was brought by an internal official when he applied for the license yesterday, and he paid [-] guan for it." Dayin said: "In the palace of King Qian Don’t you know that you have lost the white jade belt with hidden flowers and panlong mutton fat? How can you give him money without examining the origin? Where is this internal officer now? It’s obviously a bunch of nonsense!” He taught the jailer to torture Zhang Fu and the two supervisors together , were beaten to pieces, and blood gushed out.Zhang Fu couldn't bear it, and he was willing to be punished for three days, and he wanted to go out and catch the person who should be taken; if he couldn't catch him for three days, he willingly confessed his guilt.Teng Dayin also had some doubts in his heart, so he only kept the two supervisors in custody, but sent the guards to detain Zhang Fu and allowed him to reply within three days.

With tears in his eyes, Zhang Fu went out of the mansion, sat down in a hotel, and invited the jailer to have three drinks.Just now I raised the lamp, I saw an old man walking in from outside and asked, "Which one is Zhang Yuanwai?" Zhang Fu lowered his head, not daring to agree.The jailer then asked, "Who are you? What if you want to find Zhang Yuanwai?" The old man said, "The old man has a good news to report to him. Before he released the treasury, he heard that there was an official business in front of the mansion. The old man followed the searcher." At this point." Zhang Fu just got up and said: "This is Zhang Fu. If there is no trial, what good news will be published in the newspaper? Please sit down and talk." The old man sat down next to Zhang Yuanwai and asked, "What is lost in Yuanwai's earth bank? Have you ever found out the whereabouts?" Zhang Yuanwai said: "I don't know." The old man said: "The old man knows three points, so he came to report to the staff. If you don't believe me, the old man is willing to guide you to pick up the stolen goods. When you see the real stolen goods, the old man Dare to accept the reward." Zhang Yuanwai said happily, "If you get the [-] guan stolen goods, you can compensate King Qian, and there is still more. If you use it up and down, you have to clean yourself." He asked, "Since the old man is sure, What's your name and surname?" The old man whispered a few words into his ear, and Zhang Yuanwai was shocked and said, "I'm afraid there is nothing wrong with it?" The old man said, "The old man is willing to come to the mansion to make a statement. The old man pleads guilty to the real stolen goods." Zhang Yuanwai said happily, "Let me have three cups with Mr. Qu, and wait for Dayin's evening hall to report together." At present, the four of them were half drunk, and it happened that Dayin was promoted to the hall.

Zhang Yuanwai bought a piece of paper and taught the old man to write the first statement, and the four of them went into the mansion and left the first statement together.Teng Dayin read Wang Bao's statement, but he said that Ma Jianguan and Wang Dianzhi were thieves and stole Zhang Fu's property.I thought in my heart: "He has been catching thieves for many years, what's the matter?" He asked Wang Bao, "Did you frame him with revenge? What evidence?" Wang Bao said: "The young one is a broker in Zhengzhou. See you The two exchanged a lot of gold beads there. He said that he still had some hidden at home, and he would fetch them when he wanted to exchange them. The younger one recognized that he was sent by the government to arrest him. How could he have so many treasures? I was puzzled. See you now Zhang Fu lost his order, and the treasures he opened are similar, and I would like to search there with Zhang Fu. If not, I will be willing to plead guilty." Teng Dayin seemed to believe it or not, so he sent Li to observe Li Shun, and led the man with sharp eyes and quick hands, Go together with Wang Bao and Zhang Fu.At this time, Ma observed that Ma Han and Wang Qidianzhi Wang Zun were both arrested in various counties for two robbery cases and did not return.Everyone went to Wang Dianzhi's house first, shouted loudly, and rushed in.Wang Qidianzhi's wife, with her three-year-old child in her arms, was eating jujube cake in front of the window, playing tricks.Seeing everyone Luo Zhao, I was surprised!I don't know why.For fear of frightening the child, he covered his ears with his sleeves and entered the room.They walked on their heels, surrounded the woman and asked, "Where are the stolen goods from Mr. Zhang's family hidden?"Seeing that the woman was silent, all the people opened the box and dumped the cage together, and searched for a while. Although there were a few silver hairpin ornaments and some clothes, there was no evidence of stolen goods.Li Guanjian was about to blame Wang Bao, but Wang Bao lowered his head, crawled under the bed, unwrapped a bag at the foot of the bed, and held it out with a smile.When everyone opened it to look, they found a pair of gold cups inlaid with eight treasures, ten gold-inlaid tortoiseshell cups, and a string of rosary beads.Zhang Yuanwai recognized it as something in the earthen storehouse, and burst into pain, crying loudly.Even the mother-in-law didn't know where this thing came from, she panicked, she couldn't open her mouth, she couldn't lift her hands.Everyone couldn't help saying, and tied a rope around the woman's neck.The mother-in-law was crying and sent the child to the neighbor's house, so she had to walk with everyone.

Everyone went to the horse observer again, and there was a mess.Wang Bao tapped again, and found a bag of pearls, inlaid gold bracelets and other things in the tile lattice of the eaves, and Zhang Yuanwai also recognized them.Both wives and children brought them to the mansion, and Teng Dayin sat in the hall by himself, waiting for a reply.Seeing people swarming in, there are many stolen goods under the steps, which are said to be found at the foot of the bed and in the tile lattice, and Zhang Fu knows it is true.Teng Dayin was shocked and said: "I often hear that those who catch thieves become thieves. I don't want Wang Zun and Ma Han to do such a thing!" The stolen goods are temporarily sent to the warehouse; the first person waits outside, and when the stolen goods are understood, he will receive the reward according to the amount.Zhang Fu kowtowed and said: "The villain is a family who has a bowl of rice to eat. I really don't know the origin of the jade belt in the Qian Dawang's mansion. The stolen goods were stolen in my home today. I have evidence. The villain admits regret and is willing In the future, I will compensate the Qian family. I hope that it will be convenient for the lord to release the villain and the two supervisors, all generations of Yin De." Teng Dayin knew that Zhang Fu had been wronged, so he allowed him to call him out.Wang Bao went home with Zhang Yuanwai and asked him for a reward of five hundred guan.It turns out that Wang Bao is Wang Xiu, whose nickname is "Sick Cat".Song Sigong made a plan to teach Wang Xiuqian to bury the stolen goods in the earth bank of Zhang Yuanwai's house in advance, but taught him to change his name to Wang Bao and reveal the stolen goods.Where the government knows!
But it is said that Wang Zun and Ma Han are seizing official affairs in various mansions. When they heard that their wife had a snack, they hurried back to see Teng Dayin.Teng Dayin couldn't help saying that he used the criminal law and beat him to death, asking him to recruit Zhang Fu's stolen goods.Are the two willing to confess?The wives of the two families were released from Dayin's prison, and they all looked at each other, unable to argue.Even Dayin was determined not to let go, and they all sent him to prison.The next day, he arrested Zhang Fu again and went to the official to persuade him: "Let's pay for the lost property in the king's mansion, and return the stolen goods to you calmly." Zhang Fu was forced by the government to admit it.Thinking of going home, annoyed and bored, and unwilling to give up his family's wealth, he hanged himself in the earth bank and died.It's a pity that Zhang Yuanwai, a well-known forbidden soul, caused a catastrophe and even lost his life because of the word "stingy".Wang Zun and Ma observed Ma Han from the Seven Palaces of the King, and they all died in prison later.This group of thieves and thieves openly do evil things in Tokyo, drink good wine, and live in famous prostitutes. No one can do anything to them.At that time, Tokyo was disturbed, and every family could not live in peace.It was not until Mr. Bao Longtu became the prefect that this group of thieves and thieves were afraid and dispersed, and the place became quiet.There are poems to prove it, and the poem says: It is only because of greed and miserliness that it provokes misfortune, which leads to the frenzy of thieves in Tokyo.Thanks to Bao Dayin who killed the dragon map, he knew that a good official is from the people.
