Back to ancient times selling biscuits

"Me, we," glanced at each other, and hurriedly dropped the things in his hands, "We didn't fight."

Zhen Qingming: "Then what are you doing? Compete?"

"no"!One fat and one thin said in unison.

"Really? Then tell me what's going on. If you don't explain clearly, follow me." Zhen Qingming put his hands behind his back, and the old god looked at them from the ground.

"Say, let's talk." The fat butcher paused, "Skinny monkey, tell me."

"Fat pig, tell me." The skinny man is timid, even his wife is afraid, let alone the county magistrate.

"Countless." The fat man gave him a stern look, but he didn't know where to start when the words came to his lips.

Zhen Qingming saw that the onlookers were enjoying the show, and saw the fat butcher scratching his head anxiously, and turned to ask the person closest to him, "What's the matter with them, I remember they didn't have much contact with each other before."

"My lord, the fat butcher hates the thin monkey who sells mutton, and the thin monkey laughs at the fat butcher. They often quarrel while talking. This time they almost fought. It was their wives and their children who went to Qingzhou to buy things. Tiger If you’re not at home, the monkey has become the overlord.” The other party yelled at the two of them, “If you don’t tell me, I’ll tell it for you.”

"No need." The thin monkey roared, Zhen Qingming gave him a blank look, the thin monkey shrank his shoulders, and muttered, "Say what you want."

The fat butcher let out a "bah", "A worthless product."

"You are worthless, your whole family is worthless!" The thin monkey jumped up, "Enough!" Zhen Qingming still had business to do, "Shut up, both of you! Continue."

"Yes, my lord." The man said just now, "The butcher's son fell in love with Shouhou's daughter. The two men said that pigs and sheep are opposites, but they are killing pigs and selling sheep, and it's not like the two children belong to pigs." Since they are sheep, their wives ignored them.

"Their mother-in-law felt that they knew each other well, and that the children liked each other, so they happily decided on the date of marriage. The butcher's family planned to kill a pig as a wedding gift, and the skinny monkey planned to slaughter a sheep as a dowry. It was originally agreed, but they As soon as the mother-in-law went out today, the thin monkey thought the butcher was stingy, only pigs and no sheep wanted to regret the marriage, but the butcher said that the thin monkey was not only cowardly but also greedy, and his daughter was not much better, and also clamored to withdraw from the marriage, no, just talking As he said that, he picked up the knife and fought hard."

"That's it?" Zhen Qingming's head was full of black lines, and there was no reason for it, "It took a hundred years to cross the boat, and a thousand years to sleep together. It is a great fate that your two families can become in-laws."

"Who says it's not? They live across the street. The Butcher's family has only one son, and the Shouhou's family has only one daughter. They can take care of each other in the future. When they grow old, the two families will become a family and save their sons and daughters trouble."

Zhen Qingming smiled, "You know it."

The other party also smiled, and pointed to his tofu stand, "I've been neighbors with them for so many years, so I don't know anything."

"Arguing over such a shit?" Zhen Qingming walked slowly to them, "Are you living too comfortably, eating enough and dressing comfortably?"

The fat butcher gave Bai Shouhou a look, and said in a low voice, "No."

The thin monkey is really timid. Seeing that the county magistrate seemed very angry, he was very scared, "Yes, no, no." After talking for a while, his eyes were full of struggles, and he wanted to speak again, but the butcher gave him a look. The thin monkey turned around and said, "We are thinking about the future of the children, not about this shit."

Zhen Qingming believed that he read it right, there must be something hidden in it, and he simply said, "This is your family affairs, it is inconvenient for me to intervene, please remember not to use the knife again in the future."

"Yes, yes, my lord, we have remembered." When the two heard that the county magistrate did not pursue the case, they seemed to be very happy.

But Zhen Qingming did not leave, "I will get married in a short time, and I came to buy a pig and sheep from you today. You can settle your affairs later, and now let me take care of the pig and sheep."

When the fat butcher heard that the business was coming, he squeezed the thin monkey away, "Master, please go to my house to see, the pigs I just received in the morning are still in the yard, which one do you want to kill for you?" It was flattering at the end.

"My lord, all the sheep in my house are fat, so go to my house first to have a look." The thin monkey was not to be outdone.

County magistrate Zhen thought for a while, "Let's look at the pigs first, Shouhou, you also go with me, and help me give advice."

"Okay." The thin monkey pushed the butcher to the side of the pork case, "My lord please!"

The butcher raised his hand to pick up the case, and shouted, "Close the stall early today, close the stall early." As soon as his words fell, the onlookers wanted to follow, County Magistrate Zhen frowned, and Donglai Dongbao slammed the door close.

Zhen Qingming walked into the courtyard, stopped suddenly, "Kneel down!"

"My lord?" The thin monkey was startled, "Why do you ask us to kneel down?"

Zhen Qingming raised his eyebrows coldly, "You guys dare to lie to me, and you don't invite me for the truth, do you want to try my tricks!"

"Grass, the grass people don't dare, dare not hide it." The fat butcher said Qiqiaiai.

Zhen Qingming found that the matter was a bit serious, he thought that there was something unsightly between the thin monkey and the butcher, so he coaxed the two into the courtyard to cheat them, now seeing their demeanor, it seemed that they were covering someone up.By the way, it is covering up!

Zhen Qingming's heart moved, and he sat down on a clean stool, "Shouhou, when will your daughter get married?"

A skinny monkey is no better than a fat man, and he is less courageous than a quail egg. With such a simple sentence, his legs trembled in fright, "Report to my lord, December, December 22."

"Well, it's only been a few days." Zhen Qingming nodded thoughtfully, "You two are fighting with knives and weapons, and you are trying to deceive this official. According to the court regulations, this official can lock you up for a month. Don't say you will quit at that time. Dear, even the Spring Festival will be in prison—"

"My lord, spare me!" the thin monkey howled, interrupting Zhen Qingming's words, and startled several people.

"When will this officer want your life?" Lord Zhen rejoiced secretly, as expected, he wanted to pick a soft persimmon, "If you confess now, this officer can pretend that nothing happened today."

"Speak, speak! The grassroots speak!" the thin monkey shouted eagerly.

The fat butcher pulled him, "Skinny monkey, you want to die."

"Butcher, I don't want to die. If I don't say it now, I will definitely die." He cried, "My lord, Caomin must say, please spare Xiaomin."

Zhen Qingming gave the butcher a dark look, "Shouhou, I'm not that stupid and foolish. If you encounter difficulties, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you a little bit. I'm still waiting to buy your sheep. , save it for a few days to get married."

"Yes, yes!" said as he wiped away his tears, "My lord, it's like this. It was snowing a few days ago, and I couldn't open a stall to do business. The fat man's family came to my house to discuss the marriage of the two children. My mother-in-law looked outside. The snow kept falling, so I just said, I hope God will stop snowing on the day my baby gets married.

"At that time, I thought about what I heard before. When my daughter went out, no matter if it rained or snowed, no matter how good the day was, it would be bad. I wanted to go to the temple to ask for good weather for my baby. Fatty also listened to me. to come with me.

"The two of us went to the temple in the north of the city with our incense offerings. When we arrived in the temple, there were only a few monks who chanted scriptures and a master who solved the lottery. We each drew a lottery. Okay. Say my two families are at odds with each other, and the two children are not suitable to be together. If we marry by force, life will definitely be very difficult in the future, and our lives may be in danger."

Zhen Qingming glared at them, "Life is human, why are you so confused!"

"The monk who unwrapped the lottery is also vicious enough." Dongbao said, "It would be better to demolish ten temples than destroy one family. He will be angry if he knows whether there are any Buddhas in the temple."

"This," the fat man said when he saw the thin monkey, and scratched his messy long hair, "We kill pigs and sell sheep every day, of course we don't believe this, but the monk opened his mouth and told us about the three generations of our ancestors, we have to believe it .”

Zhen Qingming's heart moved, "That monk is very capable. But even so, you don't need to hide it from me. There is nothing to hide."

The fat man said, "Monk Xiezhi said that he was spying on the secrets of heaven to help us figure it out. If you tell others, God will know, and he will be punished by heaven."

"Yes, yes, my lord, the monk is for our own good, we can't harm him." The thin monkey said very worriedly, "I don't know if the monk is okay."

Zhen Qingming thought for a while and asked again, "How much incense money did the monk charge you?"

The fat man and the thin monkey shook their heads at the same time, "No, no, I don't want a penny, we forced it."

"How much did you give?" Dong Lai wanted to laugh, this monk is quite capable.

"A total of five hundred Wen was given." The thin monkey said.

"You two are rich." Zhen Qingming frowned slightly when he said this. He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. The monk asked people to check in advance. "The temple in the north of the city? When did the monks in the temple become so capable?"

"Oh, my lord doesn't know, that master just arrived here half a month ago, and the master also said that he will leave in a few days." The thin monkey said.

"Half a month?" Donglai couldn't help exclaiming.

Seeing the two of them looking at him, Zhen Qingming stopped talking, "Then I have to ask him to take a look at it for me. If something goes wrong between me and Saburo, I hope the master can help me resolve it."

"Master is very powerful, my lord, go quickly." The thin monkey blindly convinced the monk who unwrapped the lottery.

"Okay! I'll go right away." He said and stood up, "By the way, is it because your wife disagrees with the termination of the engagement, that's why you guys started arguing today."

"Yes, my lord, we can't tell our family members clearly, because of this, that woman even drove me to sleep in the wing room, and I was about to get sick from the cold." Fatty shivered cooperatively as he said.

Zhen Qingming thought to himself, it deserves it!

His eyes darkened, and he said, "You don't have to worry about whether the monk will be punished by the heavens. I am an official of the imperial court and manage tens of thousands of people in Taoyuan County. According to their Buddhist teachings, as long as I don't commit crimes, I will always Blessed by God, tomorrow I will go to that temple to sincerely pray to the Buddha, and the master who unscrambled the lottery should be fine."

The fat man and the thin monkey were overjoyed, "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!"

"You're welcome, I also want to thank you for telling me such a good thing." Zhen Qingming twitched the corners of his mouth. Those who knew him well knew that he was smiling sarcasticly, but the fat man and the thin monkey didn't know it, and they heard him say , "You can explain it to your family, everything is up to you."

The two worshiped Zhen Qingming wildly, and the smile on Zhen County Magistrate's face became wider and wider, but Donglai Dongbao felt that the surroundings had become very, very cold.
