In the morning, I saw Han Xiufeng selling a pile of account books at a high price. In the afternoon, I heard that Yu Youfu said that the police officers in the Yamen pinned their hopes of turning around on Han Xiufeng. Pan Er's heart that had been so cold and cold before was warmed up again, and he felt that Han Xiufeng

He still has some skills, and he should be able to make up for it by going to the capital. But after asking what the "Bronze Heavenly King" is, and knowing that he has to take a pirate ship to the capital, he becomes very upset again.

Han Xiufeng, on the other hand, acted as if nothing was wrong. He stayed at the door, reading and helping Zhu Zhu look after the store. He actually did two businesses in one afternoon.

Pan Er had nothing to do, so he simply found an excuse to go out for a walk.

I wasn't familiar with the roads in the city, so I didn't dare to go far. I watched the excitement at the street corner for a while, and when I saw Zhu Zhu coming back carrying something, I followed him back to the paper figurine shop.

Pan Er followed him into the store and asked curiously: "I haven't seen you for a day. What have you been doing?"

Zhu Zhu took out the cooked food wrapped in oil paper from the cloth bag, raised his head and said: "Young manager, I am different from you. You don't have to do anything and you can eat and drink. How will I live my life without doing anything?"

"Don't be so weird. What on earth did you do?"

"Someone died on the Huixian Bridge. I was called early in the morning to help him recover. I was busy all morning. In the afternoon, several porters on the Chaotianmen side fished out another one from the river. They said he accidentally fell into the water and drowned, but

Only by looking at the appearance of his death did the ghost believe that he was drowned, but the gentlemen said that he was taken away and buried to save trouble."

"Are people's lives in the city so cheap?" Pan Er asked in surprise.

"You're so mean," Zhu Zhu looked back at him and said, "Young shopkeeper, listen to my advice. You'd better not go to the capital with my fourth brother. Why should a young master like you have to endure that hardship?

Sin, it would be great to live a peaceful life in Zouma. I’m not trying to scare you, but if you have to follow me, you might really die as a guest in a foreign land!”

The city was not as nice as expected, and Pan Er really regretted coming. But thinking that he would just go back and forth, he would never be able to hold his head high in front of the boss and the third child.

"I won't tell you anymore, besides scaring people, what else will you do?" Pan Er was too lazy to talk to Zhuzi anymore and ran to Han Xiufeng who was making a fire for supper.

Shopkeeper Qian can’t win his lawsuit, what if he wins? Isn’t this a sign of being a self-sufficient person?”

"I don't write complaints to others. What kind of sign do I have?" Han Xiufeng looked back at him and said in a determined tone: "Besides, he can't win. If you don't believe me, we can make a bet."

"In my opinion, that widow is being unreasonable. If she is allowed to open a dyeing workshop while others cannot, is there any royal law in the world?"

"Others can open it, but it has to be thirty houses away from her dyeing shop, so it can't be that close."

"What kind of rule is this?"

"This is a business rule." Han Xiufeng saw that the fire was almost done, put the remaining wood chips aside, stood up and explained: "The reason why I dare to conclude that Shopkeeper Qian and Shopkeeper Liang can't win is not only that there is this business rule, but also

It’s the eldest gentleman who just decided a lawsuit a few days ago. It was based on rules rather than laws, and that case seemed less likely to be lost than this one.”

"What lawsuit?" Pan Er was really curious this time.

Han Xiufeng did not talk about the lawsuit directly, but asked instead: "Brother Pan, how many taels per pound?"

Pan Er said without thinking: "Sixteen taels."

Han Xiufeng asked again: "What do you think would happen if a tofu shop like this charges people a pound of tofu but only gives them fifteen taels of tofu?"

"It's okay if I don't know. If I know, I won't smash his shop. Who in the village dares to be short-changed!"

"But there is a mill in the city, and the price is not sixteen taels per catty, but fifteen taels per catty, and he is the only one in the city. I met some serious people a few days ago, and was beaten by those serious people.

If the case goes to the Yamen, you know what the county magistrate will do."

"How was it judged?"

"The true man loses, and the miller wins."

"The county magistrate doesn't know how to count. How could this lawsuit be decided like this?"

Han Xiufeng patted his arm and said with a smile: "The county magistrate knows how to count. Even if the county magistrate doesn't know how to count, it's impossible for his friends. The reason for this sentence is because in the twelfth year of Qianlong's reign, the then Chongqing prefect recognized him.

The family's practice was approved by the official of Ba County in the 44th year of Qianlong's reign. It is said that an official document was issued to his family stating that "weighing and iron weighing only costs fifteen taels per catty", which is recorded in the records.

Therefore, the current county magistrate can only follow the rules and accept that his family only gives fifteen taels per pound."

"This is too ridiculous..."

"Young shopkeeper, don't be too strange. This is the city, not just a horse. If you want to talk about absurdity, there are a lot of absurd things, and I guess there will be even more in the capital." Zhuzi came over and poured cold water on him again.

"I'm talking to Fourth Brother, what does it have to do with you?" Pan Er, as always, didn't want to see Zhu Zhu.

"This is my home, what can I say? My surname is Pan, please listen to me clearly. I only let you live here because of the respect of Fourth Brother. If it hadn't been for Fourth Brother, I would have beaten him out!"

"You little bastard, hit me and see if you have an itchy skin!"

These two people couldn't pee in the same pot. Han Xiufeng didn't want to be upset by them, so he turned around and said, "Okay, just stop talking and go wash your hands. After washing your hands, have a midnight snack."

"As for you, go take a good wash and get clean. Those hands that touch dead people all day long are not only dirty but also bad luck. If it weren't for the sake of my fourth brother, I wouldn't stay in the same room with you." Pan Er was afraid of scholars.

He was also afraid of the yamen servants, but not of the coward, so he became more and more enthusiastic, and as he spoke, he even mocked: "You still want to marry Yao Meier, isn't this harmful to others?"

"You are such a stern ancestor, let's see how I restrain you!"

Zhuzi was angry, and he picked up a poker and was about to hit him on the head. Han Xiufeng, with quick hands and eyes, hurriedly grabbed him. Just as he was about to say something to them, there was a knock on the door from outside.

Han Xiufeng glared at them both, turned around and asked, "Who is it?"

"Four children, it's me."

"It turns out to be Uncle Six, here he is, I'll open the door right now!"

Han Xiufeng hurriedly opened the door. Zhuzi put down the poker and gritted his teeth and said, "Pan Changsheng, I am giving face to my fourth brother!"

Thinking that no matter what, this is Xiao Zuo's home, Pan Er touched his chin and said: "Ding Zhu, actually you should give me some face. Only if you give me face, will I give you face."

"What face do I want you to give me?"

"Because Yao Meier, don't you want to marry Yao Meier? Although fourth brother has made the decision to marry Yao Meier, don't forget that Yao Meier's family owes me Tongxing several thousand taels of silver. Her father just died.

You must keep your filial piety at home, and you won't be able to marry in a while. If the fourth brother is unlucky, can't make up for his shortcomings, can't be promoted to an official, and can't make money, then it will be up to me, Pan Changsheng, to decide whether she can get married and whether you can get married.

"

"You...you go too far!"

"Don't worry, listen to me first," Pan Er patted him on the shoulder and said slowly: "Think about it, we can be regarded as grasshoppers on the same rope now, and we will be in the same boat in the future. If fourth brother takes me

As a brother, I treat my fourth brother as a brother, the same as you. So if you give me face, I will give you face. If the day I just mentioned happens, even if my father, brother and my brother fall out,

, I also want to help you and Yao Meier."

"Really?" Zhu Zhu was doubtful.

"Really or not, you can go and find out more about me, Pan Changsheng." Pan Er patted his chest, pretending to be able to help his brothers.

"You don't think I'm unlucky? Can you think highly of me? Can you be a brother to me, a widower?"

"Of course it wouldn't have happened before, but this is the same now. Look, although we are not brothers now, we live under the same roof, eat from the same pot of rice, and then we have to share hardships with your fourth brother. This
