"You are so bold and cunning. You even bribed me twenty taels of silver. You are so audacious. You dare to openly bribe me in court. You want to put me in an unjust position and bring infamy. The court will investigate me.
I'm afraid I won't survive tomorrow! The unruly people want to kill me, so they use this method. It's really insidious and vicious!" Jin Shan said.
"Sir, sir, this, this, this..."
"What about this and that? That's it. Twenty taels of silver will be collected and put into the treasury. I'm warning you not to bully others anymore and don't be unkind for the sake of wealth. If something like this happens again, you must consider it carefully. You will definitely do it.
If you are severely punished, you will never break your promise. I have already investigated clearly and understood the ins and outs of the matter. If you continue to bully the village, I will not be lenient. Do you understand?" Jin Shan said.
"I understand, sir!" Feng Quyan said.
"Go, there will be no need to cause trouble again. If found, you will be sent to the border and never return home." Jin Shan said.
"Don't dare, don't dare. The common people must abide by the law, live in peace and contentment, open warehouses for relief, help the weak, support the poor, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and seek benefits for future generations." Feng Qu said.
"You are far away. As long as you accumulate virtue and do good deeds, you will be safe now. I will not send you to the frontier. Instead, I will praise you as an excellent model squire." Jin Shan said.
Hearing this, Feng Qu was happy, said goodbye to Jin Shan, walked boldly through the county government office, and went home. He was glad that he had not been assigned, and he had sacrificed his wealth to avoid disaster.
Jin Shan packed up here, went to the back hall to rest, read, admire flowers, and taste tea. It felt like it had been a long time since he had wandered around the streets. Recently, he was busy with daily official duties and one case after another. He was really busy and needed to take a rest.
He wandered around the street, not wearing official clothes, but casual clothes. When he walked to the teahouse, he saw a flag waving with the word "tea" capitalized on it. It was near the river, and there were many boats moored by the river. It was like
The ink painting looks very beautiful, leisurely and comfortable.
Jin Shan drank tea for a while and was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped.
This man looked very delicate, with a fair face, starry eyes and sharp eyebrows. He looked like a scholar, but he had a loud voice. He shouted: "Master Jin, why are you free to drink tea here?"
Jin Shan took a look, looked up and down, and found that this man was dressed gorgeously, but the clothes were not flat enough. He had a jade pendant on his waist, a large gold ring on his hand, and an emerald inlaid on the ring, which looked like a cat's eye. There were scars on the back of his hand.
Don't know how it was left behind.
"Oh, who are you?" Jin Shan asked.
"I am a local wealthy man named Bao Fa."
"Bao Fa? This name is very interesting." Jin Shan said.
"I am a local gentleman and very respected by people," Bao said.
"Really? Why haven't I heard about it?" Jin Shan said.
"Sir, after I came to Dengcheng, I worked on cases and dealt with government affairs every day. I never had time to go out on the streets. Of course I didn't know many people. Besides, I am a gentleman. I am well-known far and near. Everyone knows it. Your Excellency doesn't know because no one told me. Now
You know, it's not too late. You can come to my house to have some tea. The tea here is not good. I will prepare good tea for you. It is worth drinking. You will never forget it after drinking it. Also, I also have some treasures that you can give
Take a look, adults, to relax and gain insights." Bao said.
"Of course! It would be nice to go and have a long experience. I just don't know if it's convenient? Will it bother you?" Jin Shan asked.
"No, no, I really want to come and see it. It's boring to see it alone. For adults to come and see it, it will bring light to my home and make me more famous," Bao said.
Jin Shan thought to himself, Bao Fa seemed to be rich and wanted to be famous, and he used the county magistrate to raise his social status. He probably didn't meet me by chance, but said it on purpose. He might have found an opportunity to get close to me, and then invited him
Go to his house and have a look, this is his plan.
If you want to see it, go see it. Maybe you will find something?
Jin Shan's professional sensitivity is very high. He began to have some doubts about the squire, Bao Fa. It seemed that he could not hide his inner joy and wanted to share his heart that was inflated by wealth. Because he was rich, he wanted to be famous.
, being famous will naturally bring some benefits, including wealth. He may not be aware of this, but he is actually doing this.
Bao Fa invited Jin Shan to his home. It sounds like a home, but in fact it is a mansion. It looks very luxurious. It was built with a huge sum of money. It looks magnificent. Compared with Jin Shan's home, Jin Shan's seems...
So shabby. How could this rich man, Bao Fa, be so rich? This made Jin Shan suddenly consider that Bao Fa was not a simple person. He didn't know what was going on, but his intuition told him that Bao Fa was not a simple person.
Bao Fa laughed and said, "I'm very happy that you've come to my house. It's really great. I saw a lot of people looking at the door just now. When you come, I will have more face. Please come here."
He was talking and laughing, and led Jin Shan through the corridor. On the wall of the corridor, there were stone calligraphy and some popular poems written by celebrities. They came to the hall. The three walls of the hall were covered with various calligraphy and paintings.
There are actually Huang Tingjian's "Inscription on Pillars", Wang Xizhi's cursive "Ping'an Tie", the unknown Southern Song Dynasty's "Han Palace Autumn Picture", Wang Meng's "Autumn Mountain Xiao Si Picture", Qian Weicheng's "Yandang Picture", Bada Shanren's "
"Bamboo, Stone, Mandarin Ducks", Chen Guo's "Emotional Ink Flowers", etc., and many famous paintings by current famous artists are also hanging in Bao Fa's house.
Bao Fa was very proud. He looked at Jin Shan's surprised look and couldn't help laughing and said: "This is all trivial. Sir, the villain has plenty of money. If you want it, you can take as much as you want."
These calligraphy and paintings of mine are priceless. Just one painting can buy a building. Sir, don’t think I’m vulgar. I have no choice but to have money! It’s great to have money! If you have money, you have everything! If you have everything, you will have everything.
You must have money! Money can make money, and those who have no money will become less and less rich. Like me, I have money! I am so rich! Hahaha! As long as the adults open their mouths, they will never let you down."
"Really? What do you want?"
"I want to be an official. I'm too rich. I have no choice. I have nothing to do every day and I can't spend all the money. So I just want to do something. I thought of being a policeman in the county government and arresting people. How fun would that be?
!" Bao Fa said.
"Can you run?"
"Of course I can. Look, sir, how muscular my body is. It's incredible. Every day is wasted. I really want to do some errand and listen to my lord's orders!" Bao said.
"Let's not talk about this topic for now. If you are interested, you can try to work a day shift at the county government. However, you can experience it first with other veteran officers. What do you think?" Jin Shan asked.
Jin Shan thought to himself, he is just a well-fed guy who has nothing to do and wants to find something to do. Among other things, he actually has an official addiction. This guy has a slutty image, vulgar behavior, gorgeous clothes but slovenly appearance. What a shame.
The embroidered pillow looks beautiful on the outside, but it turns out to be a mess inside.
This guy has so many Minggui calligraphy and paintings, which is not consistent with his words and deeds. It's just that he knows who he is as soon as he talks. At first glance, he looks like a gangster. I don't know how he got these calligraphy and paintings. Is it a flower?
Did he buy it with money? Is it from a person who likes to collect? It’s not like he could tell anything. He didn’t seem to have studied these calligraphy and paintings. He just hung them in the living room for guests to see. It seemed that he had knowledge.
A scholarly person should also show himself to others and show that he is a suave, talented person, in order to satisfy his vanity.
He is arty because he wants to enter a higher social class.
Jin Shan asked: "These precious calligraphy and paintings are really priceless treasures. You are so lucky!"
When Bao Fa heard this, he was so happy! He even didn't know what to do.
He spoke loudly and loudly, and his voice resounded throughout the hall. The other servants held their breath and did not dare to speak loudly.
"Come on, come on, after you have finished appreciating the calligraphy and paintings, please have a meal. I have already made arrangements. Please enjoy your meal with me," Bao said.
Jin Shan agreed, he nodded and looked at Bao Fa, he felt even more proud.
The food was very rich. Jin Shan usually didn't eat much. When he got here, he was very controlled and didn't drink. Baofa drank several large bowls. Jin Shan knew very well that he should be extra careful with such people. A villain will be rampant if he succeeds.
If he doesn't do anything after eating and drinking, I'm afraid he will do something drastic.
Besides, it’s easier to say the wrong thing if you don’t drink. Keep a clear mind to avoid regretting the wrong thing.
After dinner, he went for a walk in the back garden.
Jin Shan did not allow Bao Fa to accompany him because Bao Fa liked to sleep after meals, so he asked a servant to serve him. However, Jin Shan refused and Jin Shan sent the servant away to wander in the huge courtyard.
In the southwest corner of the garden, there is a verandah and a pavilion. When you take a closer look, it says "Tingsong Pavilion" on it.
Sitting in the pavilion is a young woman, gorgeously dressed, with an extraordinary feminine temperament, a little makeup, red lips, willow-leaf eyebrows, eyes like stars, shining, looking from left to right, her eyes are breathtaking. The young woman is sitting alone in the pine pavilion, listening to the song.
It makes people feel strange.
Jin Shan observed that the woman had a touch of sadness and sighed, as if she had many things on her mind. According to professional habits and professional sensitivity, he stepped forward, bowed, saluted, and straightened her clothes to make them smooth.
Smooth, and then asked politely: "May I ask, Madam, who is the person here? Are you the mistress here?"
The young woman quickly returned the gift and said in a low voice: "Master Jin, my little girl is polite here!"
"No gift, no gift, who are you? What are you doing here?" Jin Shan asked.
"Sir, my daughter lives here, and Bao Fa is the head of the family."
When Jin Shan heard this, he felt that there was something in the words. The head of the house actually had a disdainful tone, but he didn't say it clearly because he was worried that the walls had ears and would pass the message on to Bao Fa.
"It seems you have something on your mind?" Jin Shan asked. After asking, Jin Shan felt a little regretful. He was worried that saying this would affect her.
"Sir Jin, the daughter of the people heard that your Excellency is an upright official, upright, intelligent and wise. He handles cases quickly and accurately, and the people are satisfied."
When Jin Shan heard this, he became more and more suspicious. Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, he knew what was going on and didn't ask any more questions.
The woman didn't seem very willing and was avoiding Jin Shan's questions, as if she had something to hide.
Her expression is very unnatural, but it is difficult to hide her elegance. Her behavior is more elegant and quiet. Compared with Bao Fa, Bao Fa is equivalent to a toad, and she is a swan. The toad's conversation and behavior are disgusting.
The swan's movements are all graceful, which is quite different in comparison.
Jin Shan didn't want to lose this opportunity, so he looked around and said boldly: "Madam, do you have anything to tell me? Isn't it inconvenient? Have you been threatened and dare not report? Madam, what's the secret?"
, you can tell me, if it is difficult to solve, I will definitely seek justice for you."
The woman frowned and didn't speak. She looked around at him and didn't give a direct answer. She was just observing.
She pondered for a moment, looked around, then lowered her head to look at her feet. She didn't say anything. After a while, she slowly said: "No, no, I'm being rude, little lady. I'm going to leave now. I'm going to leave now."
She left quickly, looking away. Jin Shan accidentally noticed tears in the corners of her eyes, which were crystal clear. He didn't have time to wipe them away, so he left quickly.
She left in a gust of wind, leaving Jin Shan messy and at a loss in the wind, like an eagle hanging high in the sky, his eyes observing carefully.
He returned to the living room, and Baofa had just rested. He hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile on his face: "Sir, how did you feel about going for a walk just now?"
Jin Shan took a look and guessed that he had not noticed the conversation with his wife, so he said: "Very good, I found a lot of inscriptions. It seems that you like to collect them."
"That's right, I grew up poor. I had no money and nothing. I had nothing at home. I was so hungry that I had no choice. I pawned the things I had and could exchange them for something to eat. If I didn't have anything, I just exchanged them.
If I don’t have food, I will only be hungry, so I have known the importance of food since I was a child. I can use it to exchange for food and not starve to death," Bao Fa said.
"Yes, you did the right thing. If you hadn't collected them, these things might have been destroyed. It's a pity." Jin Shan said.
"I have something unclear, and I don't know whether to say it or not," Jin Shan said.
"Of course, tell me, tell me, it will be beneficial to listen." Bao Fa said.
"There are so many rare treasures in the house. It costs a lot of money to collect them. Isn't it easy? Even if you find these collections, it will be very difficult, right?" Jin Shan asked.
"Yes. It's really not easy. You have to look for the treasure everywhere." Bao Fa said.
"Then how did you do it?" Jin Shan asked.
"Haha, haha, you don't know something. Now, now that I have money, money can make the devil push the devil, and the millstone can push the devil. As long as you are willing to spend money, is there anything you can't do? No, as long as you are willing
With money, there's nothing you can't accomplish," Bao said.
"So that's it! It seems that you have indeed spent a lot of money, energy and time to collect. Your collection can be regarded as a museum. It is probably difficult to find so many in the world. You have reached the peak of your career." Jin
Shan Yan said.
"This is easy to do because I have money! If you have money, you can buy it. No matter how expensive it is, you can still afford it. If you give enough money or even give more money, it will be easy to get it. All those who are unwilling to talk about money are
Those who love money the most will find it difficult to do things and move forward without money. This is the actual situation now," Bao said.
