Someone patted Wang Pang and said, "I guess I'm looking back. Maybe the young master is like her or some kind of relative or friend. My mother-in-law is usually a nice person, so it'll be fine." Wang Pang saw that he was talking to an aunt in her forties or fifties.

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

How should Wang Pang respond: "Ao Granny, I am Wang Pang of Meyer Mansion."

Grandma Ao could only sigh. She was a woman in her prime, but she suddenly became a downcast old woman overnight. Not only did she have nothing, but she was also sick. It turns out that time travel does not mean that everything will be repeated, sometimes it is just an experience.

An ordeal.

Yesterday, I saw Wang Pian in the Meyer Mansion, and he looked so much like the man who drove me to Jishuitan.[

She shook her head in confusion and said forcefully: "I just feel like you are like an old friend." After saying that, she took a breath and seemed very tired.

Wang Pang walked into her and said, "Mother-in-law, is there anything you need my help with?"

Grandma Ao looked at her carefully again, sighed and said, "Maybe I made a mistake."

Wang Pang said: "Grandma Ao is looking for someone, I can help."

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

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

"Grandma Ao, do you hope that I am an old friend?"

Wang Pang asked. He no longer wanted to think too much. He took off the black crystal, maybe this could help this woman. Granny Ao's hand was as dry as a twig. Wang Pang held Granny Ao's hand.

Instead, Granny Ao smiled hard and said, "Just accept your destiny. Maybe I really 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 destinies of two people who traveled through time at the same time were so completely different, Granny Ao would not be at ease even if she died.

After Ao Granny finished speaking, she closed her eyes. Wang Bian wanted to hand the crystal into her hand, but Ao Granny's skinny hands were clenched in her fists. Seeing this, Wang Bian put his hand under Ao Granny's nose, and there was already a gap between her mouth and nose.

No breath.

Seeing that the crystal was still in his hand, he sighed, maybe reincarnation is the best escape. What's the good of carrying the memory of the past life? Even if he travels through time, he doesn't know who it is or where he is.

Wang Pian walked out of the room and waved to the people outside. The neighbor's aunt hurriedly went in to take care of it, took out a few taels of silver from her arms, and asked Yuexia to hand it over to the neighbor committee for burial.

Wang Pang was silent. He was lucky, but could he stay so lucky? Every period of life has an uncertain future.

The original plan was to set off in the first month of the year, but Wang Pang deliberately moved ahead because there were too many things to do, such as finding the half of the white crystal stone when the time was right. If the tea purchase went well, he would have money to go to Xixia.

Does Wang Pang have no money now? He has more money than the average person, but if he wants to do big things, his family's financial resources 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 other people.

There are six servants, four or five maids, and coal shearers from Jincheng County who have to pay for their expenses. This kind of family can eat up nothing more quickly.

It's a long way to go again, but fortunately, I have the experience from the previous time, and there is no need to detour this time. The family affairs are left to Yan Zhihu. Even though she is a female, she is no less capable than a man.

Wang Pang specially brought Lu Shenyan with him. Lu Shenyan had always been smart and heartfelt. Ever since Wang Pang knew that He Libo's real name was Wanyan Gailibo, although they had always had a deep brotherly love, he knew that sooner or later He Libo would leave. Moreover, Wang Pang knew that He Libo would leave sooner or later.

, Wang Pang even hoped that He Libo would not leave, otherwise there might not be a future Jin Kingdom.

I think so, but I try to leave many things to Lu Shenyan as much as possible. Fortunately, He Libo is carefree, and my mind has been a little distracted recently.[

The trip to Jianzhou went smoothly. After all, I went directly to see Cai Xiang. Wherever I went in the past, the most common thing I saw was a county magistrate. Now when I go out to meet the magistrate, the level of the magistrate is different, and the status of the king is also different. Although it is not clear, it is

It's considered a purchase by order.

Cai Xiang is about fifty years old. He is loyal, upright, knowledgeable, and has superb calligraphy skills. He has a good reputation in Jianzhou both in officialdom and in local business. During the New Year's Day court meeting, Wang Pang also visited the capital.

However, Cai Xiang returned to Jianzhou a few days earlier than Wang Pang.

When Wang Pang came this time, he mostly contacted local tea merchants and consulted Cai Xiang. Based on the figures given by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he made a rough reservation. When the new tea comes out, these tea merchants will naturally send the tea to Bianjing.

Wang Pang was very low-key during this trip. Perhaps it was the incident with Granny Ao that gave Wang Pang a different perspective on life. King Cai Xiang was very involved here, just to get familiar with it, and he saw that the weather was getting warmer day by day.

Concerned about the matter in Jincheng County, he arranged for Lu Shenyan to follow up on the purchase of tea, and he and He Libo rushed west to Jincheng County.

This trip was farther, so Xiaoxing stayed overnight and hurried on, arriving in Jincheng County in mid-March. First, he arranged a place to stay in the county town, and then Helibao went to find Yin Shijie and Yu Danian. Wang Pang went first.

The county government visited Cheng Hao.

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

Wang Pang walked to the courtyard and saw Cheng Hao sitting in the county government hall, with two people kneeling in the hall.

He raised his hands to the people around him and asked, "My dear fellow, do you know what case is being tried?" The old man did not look at Wang Pang. He simply answered Wang Pang briefly and said, "Fight for the family property." He just stretched his neck.

Look inside.

The brothers Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi are already quite famous for their knowledge. During the Spring Festival, the academy in the capital even posted notices of the dates of their lectures. Wang Pang secretly thought that he came just in time to see the Cheng Hao trial.

It turns out that in this case, a county citizen lived in his brother's house. Many years later, a lot of coins buried in the ground were dug up in this house. The son of the county citizen's brother thought that they were hidden by his father, and the two families went to the county government office.

Litigation.

This brother is no longer alive. The two people kneeling in the hall are the nephews who sued their uncle. After listening to the two men's stories, the county people who heard the trial started talking about it: "Coins can't speak, how do you think this adult will judge?"

The person next to him refuted: "The dead can't speak, and no one can stop it."

Some said: "It should be my brother. If this brother is rich, why doesn't he buy a house?"

The county residents became more and more enthusiastic as they talked about it, and some said: "It should be my younger brother. He has been here for a long time, and he has some savings even if he doesn't buy a house."

The voices of you and me became louder and louder, as if everyone was a county magistrate. Even the plaintiff and defendant kneeling there couldn't help but look back at the courtyard of the county government office.

Cheng Hao slapped the gavel tree and said "quiet". The county people immediately became quiet. Wang Pang was amused. Cheng Hao usually acted like a teacher, but he was really majestic now.

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

The nephew, the plaintiff, replied: "Sir, it has been forty years."

Cheng Hao asked again: "How many years has the defendant let your father live in this house?"

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

Cheng Hao said with a sullen face: "I didn't ask you!". What the defendant wanted to say was cut off by an adult's words. The plaintiff looked at him with a bit of pride on his face.

Cheng Hao asked: "Plaintiff, is the defendant telling the truth?" After hearing the plaintiff's confirmation, Cheng Hao sent someone to take out the coins, put them in his hands and looked at them repeatedly. He asked the plaintiff: "Plaintiff, have you ever lied?" [

The plaintiff said: "No!!"

Cheng Hao threw two coins in front of him: "Look carefully. Nowadays, the government mints coins. Due to the shortage of copper a few years ago, coins are made of iron. Are these iron coins forty years old?"

The plaintiff was smart and sensed that the tone was not right. He took the coin and looked left and right, then raised it up to look at the light. Suddenly he kowtowed and said, "I know I was wrong."

The defendant, on the other hand, looked confused. Cheng Hao asked: "Defendant, the plaintiff has acknowledged his mistake. Do you want to sue him back?"

The defendant was honest and honest: "Sir, we are uncle and nephew, and I have been renting this house for a long time. I will not complain until I tell you."

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

The county citizens walking around were talking about it, "Your Excellency is so good at solving the case." "How else could I be the county magistrate?" As they spoke, the county residents dispersed from the courtyard of the county government office.

Cheng Hao had already arrived in front of Wang Pang: "Brother Ruoxian, you've arrived so quickly." He invited Wang Pang into the inner house.

Wang Pang said: "I didn't spend much time in Jianzhou. I just arrived here and caught up with Bochun to solve the case, but I learned a lesson."

Cheng Hao laughed loudly: "I just remembered that I met Zhang Zai in the capital and talked about you solving the horse case, and an idea came to me. The bank note is marked, and so are the coins."

The two were joking and came to the inner hall. They saw a lot of new books in the hall. Wang Pang asked: "Did Bochun buy new books again?" Cheng Hao said: "You came at the right time. You funded the school.

The dormitory has been set up. I happened to go to the Imperial College during the last Spring Festival in the capital. I approved and printed some papers. You see, these are all for the school dormitory."

As he spoke, he took out a booklet from the cabinet, which contained the purpose of Wang Pang's sponsorship of the school. He pointed at it and said, "Look, these are all accounts. Now that I have bought books, I am still rich. I will prepare these books and put them away."

In the school building, everyone in the county can read in the school building."

Wang Pang closed the account and said, "Don't I still trust Bo Chun? If it's not enough, I'll fund more."

Cheng Hao said with a smile: "What's not enough? We are rich enough. I just want to tell you, what do you think if part of it is used to support those who have excellent grades but poor families and use it as travel expenses to take exams in Beijing?"

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 with outstanding academic skills came here. He also admires my dear brother very much. If my dear brother has time, I can meet him someday.
