Wang Yue quickly followed the sound and looked over, and saw a sesame seed seller holding a money box and crying, but the money box he put in was empty, not a single copper plate.
Wang Yue was not far from the sesame seed seller. He was startled by the old man's roar in his ear, and he subconsciously asked, "Old man, when did your money disappear?"
"
When the old man saw someone talking to him, he seemed to have found a backbone. He quickly said, "I was there when I collected the money, but I lost my ability to cook the pot."
Wang Yue couldn't bear to see the old man's anxious look, but he always felt that the plot seemed a bit familiar. Isn't this the plot from the beginning of the young Bao Qingtian?
Thinking of this, Wang Yue quickly looked around to see if there was any young man with dark skin and a crescent moon on his head. Wang Yue was disappointed. Not to mention people with obvious features like Bao Qingtian, even people like Gongsun Ce
There is no such thing as a white-faced scholar.
After Wang Yue was stunned, the old man thought that Wang Yue didn't want to interfere with his affairs, so he quickly urged, "Master, Master?"
Wang Yue laughed a little dumbly. This little old man was relying on him. He shook his head helplessly and said calmly, "Actually, it's not difficult to find your money."
At this time, the two of them had been surrounded, and everyone was joining in the fun. Hearing what Wang Yue said, they all shouted, "Young Master, tell me how to find him. Help this old man, he has a whole family,
I make a living by making pancakes."
Wang Yue glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "My method is very simple, but it requires no one to come up with a penny and let me examine the copper coins. I guess there will always be one copper coin that can definitely find the old man's money."
Location."
Everyone present was stunned for a moment. They did not expect that it would harm them, and they were all a little timid. After all, what Wang Yue said was too unreliable. He also interrogated the copper coins. Did this person think he was Wang Qingtian?
Yes, when Wang Yue was handling a case in Wenzhou, he used the illusion of Zhenlong chess game to make a suspect who had cleared all traces of the crime proactively admit his crime, so everyone thought he could communicate with ghosts and gods.
Wang Yue had known this for a long time, and not everyone could believe it. He smiled and said, "After the trial, I will return it on the spot."
After hearing what Wang Yue said, everyone thought that Wang Yue was surrounded by people and couldn't escape, so they all said, "Then you start the interrogation. We all want to know how to interrogate him."
Wang Yue was not polite and smiled at Wang Cai and said, "Old Wang, go get a basin of water."
Wang Cai frowned. He was a little worried about Wang Yue. He always thought that the prisoner was suffering from hysteria on his own, so he took the initiative to tell the story of how he committed the crime. How could he judge the copper coins?
Just looking at Wang Yueyan's confident look, he nodded helplessly. Just as he was thinking about where to find water, a busybody smiled and said, "Young master, don't bother me. I have it here. I'll bring you a basin."
Come."
Wang Cai was not polite, and quickly took it, walked to Wang Yue, and whispered, "Sir, are you really able to examine money?"
Wang Yue nodded and said to everyone calmly, "Now please line up one by one and throw the money into the basin. After I review it, you can take it away."
Everyone was very curious. After a while, everyone threw their money in, but it only made a small splash. There was no result at all that Wang Yue wanted to see.
Wang Yue frowned. Could it be that the man had already left? In that case, he would be embarrassed. He said with some reluctance, "Who else hasn't tried it? I don't even know the old man's money just now."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. One person suddenly pointed at a well-dressed man and said, "Uncle, you don't seem to have tried. Go and help me. It's not easy for me to sell cakes."
The man saw that everyone was looking at him, so he reluctantly took out a coin from his pocket and threw it into the water. After the copper coin fell into the water, some oily flowers soon surfaced.
Wang Yue laughed when he saw this situation. He smiled and asked, "What kind of business does this old man do?"
The man saw that Wang Yue's dress seemed very extraordinary, so he didn't dare to offend him and said with a smile, "A cloth seller."
Wang Yue nodded, knowing what was going on in his mind, and then asked, "Have you ever touched oil stains today?"
The man quickly waved his hand and explained, "We who sell cloth are afraid of oil stains. How can we touch this?"
Wang Yue looked at the man's disgusted look and said with a smile, "Then where did your oil-stained coins come from? You know, only people who eat meat or come into contact with oil will have oil on their coins. Your money
Where did it come from?"
Only then did everyone understand that Wang Yue had gone around in a circle because the money of the old man selling the cakes must have been stained with oil. If the oil stains entered the clean water, there would definitely be oil stains. After thinking about this, everyone looked at
The cloth seller had a strange look in his eyes.
The cloth seller had already figured out that he had been deceived, so he said angrily, "Who are you? Why are you right?"
Wang Cai followed Wang Yue for three years and handled many cases. He could be regarded as Wang Yue's little fanboy. When he saw that this man was disrespectful to Wang Yue, he shouted angrily, "Open your dog eyes and take a look. This is the former Wenzhou County Magistrate."
Wang Yue is currently the Young Minister of Dali Temple, do you think he has the final say?"
When everyone heard Wang Cai's words, they all talked about it. Some people who traveled all over the country and passed through Wenzhou knew Wang Qingtian's name, so they hurriedly told everyone about it.
Of course I have heard of this cloth seller. You must know that many of the cloths now come from Wenzhou. In fact, they were operated by Wang Yue. With the machinery he designed to use water power, weaving was so fast that many sellers rushed to it.
Go to stock up.
When the salesman heard that it was Wang Yue, his legs went weak and he knelt down and begged for mercy, "Wang Qingtian, I don't dare to do it anymore! This is really my first time doing this!"
Wang Yue rolled his eyes. Many people said it was his first time to make a mistake. He glanced at Wang Cai and took the lead back to the inn.
Wang Cai understood what Wang Yue meant, grabbed the salesman and sent him to the Yamen. As for how to convict him, it was none of his and Wang Yue's business.
...
After a trip to Luzhou, Wang Yue didn't take care of his wife. Wang Yue didn't want to run around. He had better stay with me while he still had a few days of vacation. After all, he still expected me to find someone to come to propose marriage. It was better not to coax him.
Well, if I don’t agree, it’s over.
When Wang Yue rushed back to Qiantang, it was already too late. The city gate was closed. He didn't want to call the city gate, so he planned to go back to his manor outside the city to spend the night.
On the way to the manor, in the thick darkness, he suddenly saw a group of people galloping at night in neat uniforms. They looked like soldiers, but they were all dressed in black and masked. This made Wang Yue a little suspicious.
?
It's just that Wang Yue doesn't want to be too busy. Who doesn't want to do some side jobs? For example, he, the magistrate of Wenzhou, also works part-time as the pirate king.
It's just that tigers are not harmful to people, but tigers are harmful to people's hearts. Just when Wang Yue and Wang Cai were passing by this team of people, a small team suddenly separated from the galloping team and rushed towards Wang Yue and the two.
Came over.
Wang Cai saw that the other party was not a friendly person, but he was not panicked at all. He handed Wang Yue one of the two long swords he carried with him, and then said with a smile, "There are really short-sighted people, they are going to kill us."
Silence them? I will kill them right away!"
Wang Yue rolled his eyes. In order to cover up his martial arts skills, he always gave the sword to Wang Cai. Under normal circumstances, he could do it alone, but tonight's situation seemed to be worse.
Sure enough, before the group of men came close, several crossbow arrows shot through the air and headed towards the door facing the two of them, startling Wang Cai.
Wang Cai waved the sword in his hand a few times, easily deflected the arrows, and rushed towards the opponent. However, before he could get closer, there were several more sound piercing the air, this time it was not directed at him.
People go to horses instead.
Wang Cai quickly protected himself, but failed to protect the horse, and he and the horse fell out.
Wang Yue didn't expect the opponent to be so ruthless, so he quickly rushed over on horseback while the opponent's crossbow had run out of arrows and was about to reload.
The other party did not expect that the remaining weak scholar would dare to show off his strength, and Wang Yue approached him without noticing.
I saw a flash of sword light, and several heads fell to the ground instantly. The remaining people saw the trick and wanted to retreat, but by this time it was already too late. Wang Yue quickly caught up and chopped down two of them.
Wang Cai had also recovered at this time. It was the first time in his life that he had suffered such a big loss. He rushed forward without hesitation, killed a man in black, took away the horse, and then chased after him.
Wang Yue looked at Wang Cai's excited look and knew what was going on. You must know that Wang Cai has the best face after becoming the head catcher. Wang Yue has been coaxing him to come, and then he deceived this guy for several years.
The guard was completely covered in dust this time, and he had to make up for it no matter what.
Wang Yue thought that the few people who escaped would definitely not be able to escape in Wang Cai's hands, so he was not too anxious and dismounted to check the weapons and clothing of the killed people.
But as soon as Wang Yue recognized that it was an officer, he heard a horse approaching quickly. When he saw it, it turned out to be Wang Cai who had just chased him.
When Wang Cai saw Wang Yue standing dumbfounded, he quickly said, "Master, hurry up, the enemy's team is coming to kill you!"
Wang Yue didn't say anything, and quickly bent down to pick up two crossbows on the ground. He immediately got on his horse, and together with Wang Cai, he and Wang Cai ran wildly, relying on the crossbow arrows shot from time to time along the way, which made the pursuers unable to stop.
Dare to get close.
The two of them hadn't gone very far when they saw a fire rising into the sky from a courtyard in the distance! Judging from the intensity of the fire, it was obvious that it had just been lit not long ago.
Looking at the pursuers behind him and then at the fire in the courtyard, Wang Yue frowned and said, "Did the group of people just do this fire?"
Wang Cai was not stupid either. He nodded solemnly and said, "That should be the case. Who lives in this house?"
Wang Yue thought about the Qiantang information in his hand, and his face immediately became ugly. He said solemnly, "It seems to be a luck judge named Yang, with a good official reputation."
Wang Cai missed the point, but he had his own logic. He said casually, "It seems that the people who are chasing him are not good people."
Wang Yue had a black line on his forehead, and there was still such a round, but it made sense. Generally speaking, those who kill good people are bad people! He didn't correct him, so Wang Cai should remain innocent.
What Wang Yue was thinking about was who was this person, who dared to commit murder and arson so blatantly? You must know that Yang Yunpan was a sixth-grade official. How many officials were there who didn't take the sixth-grade officials seriously?
Yang Yun was in charge of the tide. He must have some interests involved, so he was killed and silenced. For a moment, Wang Yue thought of his old man's death.
You know, no matter what, the old man also gives gifts to the Qian family of Wuyue every year. Could the person who dared not give the Qian family of Wuyue face in the land of Zhejiang and Zhejiang be the same as the person who had the audacity to kill a sixth-grade official?
Things are becoming more and more possible the more they think about it, but now is not the time to think about it. What Wang Yue needs most now is to find a way to escape. The other party has sent people to pursue them in a detour, and they can't escape very far.
Wang Yue looked at the blazing fire in the courtyard, rolled his eyes, and immediately had an idea. He let his horse run wildly on the village, shouting as he ran, "The water is flowing! The water is flowing!"
Wang Cai stared blankly at Wang Yue's roar. He didn't know what was wrong with Wang Yue. When he saw that every house lit up their lights when they heard the roar, he understood what was going on and quickly made a choice.
He ran in another direction, shouting as he ran, "It's flooded, hurry up and put out the fire!"
You must know that the houses at this time were all made of wood. If a spark flew out, it could easily ignite the entire village. The fire brigade was also the most dangerous in ancient times. After all, the water dragons used to put out fires in ancient times were not as good as today.
The two of them roared, and soon people gathered. More and more people came. The men in black saw the longing figures in the firelight from a distance, looked at each other, and left the group unwillingly.
After all, although they are determined to kill people and silence them, they are not willing to massacre the village. Firstly, the impact will be too great, and secondly, because most of the people they recruit are locals, and they are inevitably related to each other, so it is really not suitable to operate.
.....
When Wang Yue saw so many villagers watching enthusiastically, he looked for a wooden barrel and helped put out the fire. He said, "Yang Yunpan is a good official. Maybe he can get a good future by helping put out the fire."
Wang Cai rolled his eyes and understood what Wang Yue meant. They had deceived the people. If there were not enough benefits, these people would at most feel that the fire was really warm.
Thinking of this, Wang Cai quickly responded, "That's right, if nothing else, it would be nice to pick up one or two jewels."
Both of them knew that today's work was not over yet, and they had to do a full set to perform, so they put out the fire in a decent manner. When others heard Wang Yue and Wang Cai's words, they also joined the fire-fighting team. After all, no matter what
Whether it's for profit or money, it seems to be a good deal.
Fortunately, there was plenty of water in Qiantang, and each household carried pottery basins and wooden buckets to quickly control the fire.
It was only then that everyone saw the charred corpses piled together in the ruins that first caught fire.
Seeing this situation, those who put out the fire knew that the matter was serious and retreated one after another for fear of getting into trouble.
Seeing this as an opportunity, Wang Yue took the opportunity and quickly revealed his identity and said loudly, "I am Wang Yue, the former magistrate of Wenzhou County. I passed by here today and noticed a fire, so I called for help. Where is Li Zheng here? Please
Come out and speak.”
As soon as Wang Yue finished speaking, everyone immediately fell silent, whispering among themselves, and no one came up to answer.
You know, although Wang Yue has a good reputation as Wang Qingtian, it is just a hearsay. People who have never been outside the boundaries of Hangzhou in their lives really feel that the real person is not as good as the story.
After a while, an old man with a white beard came over tremblingly. When he reached Wang Yue, he said, "I am an honest man. I wonder what Wang Qingtian has to say?"
