Chapter 9 Both are thieves

In Zichuan County, the Han family is a prominent family.

When Su Yang brought Lu Yan and Sui County Magistrate Wang Shunying to the Han family, Lu Yan saw that the Han family was indeed tall and spacious, and was extraordinary everywhere. After entering the Han family, Wang Shunying and the head of the Han family, Yuerong's father Han Zhongliang exchanged greetings for a while, and then led Su Yang and others to the backyard flower terrace. In this backyard, there were naturally rockery water pavilions and pond flower scenery. When Lu Yan walked here, he saw that everything was clear and he was wearing dirty clothes, and he couldn't help feeling ashamed.

"Be honest."

Su Yang smiled at Lu Yan and said, "You are just a little dirty, but your hands are white. Although their clothes are clean, their hands are dirty."

Although Lu Yan did not understand Su Yang's meaning, he felt relieved for no reason.

After walking through several small courtyards in this backyard, I arrived at a stage. On this stage, the troupe was ready, and I was waiting for Wang Shunying to arrive in person before ordering the show to start.

"This one is Master Su Xian."

Wang Shunying pulled Su Yang and said to the gentry who came to see him: "In Liugou Temple, I once encountered a big ghost. His powerful power was the one who took action and turned the big ghost into a stone, which saved me from danger."

Wang Shunying naturally did not dare to treat Su Yang at all. The gentry around him said a lot. Wang Shunying was afraid of neglecting Su Yang, so he quickly introduced Su Yang and said, "You can all go see the big ghost stones in Liugou Temple in person. This monk Huisheng next to me can be used as a proof."

Monk Huisheng also came here. During this banquet, Monk Huisheng lowered his head slightly and bowed to the gentry.

"It turned out to be the Zen master in Liugou Temple."

When Han Zhongliang heard this, he quickly asked Monk Huisheng to move into the quiet room and ordered someone to prepare a vegetarian food for Monk Huisheng. Then he asked Su Yang: "How dare you ask which famous mountain the immortal master practices?"

"Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the slanting moon three-star cave."

Su Yang said lightly.

The way is in a small space, why bother with mountains and forests?

The three stars of the slanting moon are a heart.

If your heart is untainted, you can still be a paradise for immortals in an environment of traffic and succession. If you have concerns, you will also do all kinds of ugly things even if you are in famous mountains and rivers. This is true for the Xuanzhen Temple in Erlong Mountain and the Puxian Temple in Qingyun Mountain.

The sea of ​​joy, the sea of ​​suffering, and the capital of the desire realm are all controlled by the mind.

But the gentry in front of him did not understand Su Yang's mystery. When he heard Su Yang say that the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and the Three Star Cave of the Moon were all thinking of Journey to the West. Everyone laughed and asked, "Are you and Sun Houzi brothers? You are also practicing with the Bodhi Patriarch?"

The Bodhi Patriarch in Journey to the West gave Sun Wukong a name in Fangcun Mountain, Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the Three Star Cave of the Scene Moon, and taught Sun Wukong the Seventy-Two Changes and Somersault Clouds, thus making Sun Wukong a ruthless character fighting the sky and the earth.

Su Yang shook his head. These gentry were half-literate and half-civilized rich people, either pretending to be gentle or hats, and they were too lazy to debate with them.

"Since you are an immortal master, please sit down."

Han Zhongliang invited Su Yang to take another seat.

Su Yang followed the owner's intention and sat down here. Lu Yan naturally sat aside with Su Yang and entered such a rich courtyard for the first time. Seeing that there was a stage at his home and could invite a opera troupe to sing for them, Lu Yan felt a little dazed for a moment... Could this be the life of a god?

While Lu Yan was obsessed with it, the dishes at the banquet had already been presented. Lu Yan saw that all these dishes were exquisite and beautiful, which made Lu Yan feel a little dazed. In the past, he only felt that the chefs in Dongxing Building had excellent skills. At this time, just looking at these dishes was mostly beyond the reach of chefs.

After taking a bite, Lu Yan sighed even more. In the past, some people said that the things made by chef Dongxinglou were not delicious. Lu Yan felt that he was picking on the thorns. After eating this meal, Lu Yan suddenly felt that it made sense.

Dongxing Building does have many shortcomings.

"Look at that person."

Su Yang pointed to the people sitting at the same table with Wang Shunying. One of them had just taken up the position and had a special figure. He specifically pointed it to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan was eating vegetables and looked up there. Seeing that Su Yang was referring to a fat little man with a short and fat figure, like a winter melon, he said, "This one is a famous gentry in our Zichuan County, named Cai Gua. He was as poor as me in his early years, but later, he made a fortune somehow. When the Song County Magistrate was there, he often went to and from the yamen and did a lot of business under the care of the Song County Magistrate. Now he is also a well-known family in Zichuan. The Song County Magistrate once gave him a plaque with the word "Good Man" on it, which is my benchmark."

As a waiter, he is also in the news to some extent. In this era of inconvenience of information, he, the waiter, knew a lot of things. Cai Gua, a man from a poor family background, was able to set such a family business, which was completely a role model for Lu Yan to learn from.

"He is not a good person. He conspired with Han Zhongliang to get his son to marry Han Yuerong."

Su Yang said to Lu Yan: "Yuxiang will be dowry at that time."

Su Yang has a quick ear and hears a lot of things.

"Old Orange!"

Lu Yan looked at Cai Gua with red face.

On the other side of the banquet.

Wang Shunying sat in the middle, listening to Han Zhongliang and the gentry talking about the situation in Zichuan again. After hearing these words, Wang Shunying was able to say a few words to them, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

"Mr. Wang County."

Cai Gua brought a glass of wine to Wang Shunying, smiled and wrinkled on her face, and said, "Mr. Wang, you are the parents who came to our Zichuan. You have something to decide for us."

"What's the matter?"

Wang Shunying put down his wine glass and asked at Cai Gua.

Cai Gua and Han Zhongliang looked at each other and said, "My son Cai Wei, now over the 19th year of the year, is a student of the Imperial College. He is a young talent. Yuerong, the daughter of Han Yuanwai's family, looks beautiful and is just right with my son. We two want to ask the county magistrate, you will take the lead in the middle and fulfill this wish for us."

These days, the Imperial College students can earn money if they have money. As long as they "take grain", they can become students. However, the students who take grain are basically not a big word, but if they put together three or five words, they can admit their mistakes. It can be said that they are wearing glasses to pretend to be college students.

When Wang Shunying heard this, he knew it and asked, "Miss Han Yuanwai's family is famous and I have heard of it. But to me, did Miss Han have a engagement with the Prince of Zhou?"

This is actually the attitude of Han Zhongliang and other gentry wanting Wang Shunying to do it.

On one hand, there is a marriage that both gentry agree to, and on the other hand, there is a marriage that cannot be reneged on according to reason. Let’s see what choice this county magistrate has.

"It is precisely because of this that I have to ask the county magistrate for help."

Han Zhongliang said: "As long as the county magistrate changes the verdict, the marriage contract will naturally be invalid..."

Wang Shunying listened to Han Zhongliang's words and looked up at Su Yang. He saw Su Yang watching the show with great interest, and did not look at his current situation at all.

To be honest, if Wang Shunying had come to be the county magistrate before he experienced the incident of Jin Ge'er, he would have thought of making money. At that time, he would naturally agree to this kind of thing. However, influenced by Jin Ge'er, Wang Shunying was much less concerned about wine, sex, and wealth, and his ideals and aspirations had come to his mind a long time ago.

"no."

Wang Shunying refused and said, "This is inconsistent with the truth." Looking at Han Zhongliang, Wang Shunying asked with a smile: "Does Han Yuanwai want to be an old Taishan who despises the poor and loves the rich?"

There are many such characters in the plays, and they were eventually counterattacked by poor scholars. The poor scholars' daughters who slept with their daughters did not support them and let them live a miserable life.

When Han Zhongliang heard this, he said to Wang Shunying with a slight anger on his face, "Mr. Wang County Magistrate, it's not because I hate the poor and the rich, but because the Zhou family's son was not clean this time. A few days ago, he had a meal at our mansion, and then there were many things missing in our mansion. The servants said that he stole it. Today I sent someone to invite him to dinner. The housekeeper saw that he was dealing with the stolen goods, and the things he stole were all from the little girl. How could such a person be a good match?"

Han Zhongliang clapped his hands gently. As soon as the opera on the stage stopped, everyone in the audience watched it. The Han family servant tied up Zhou Shangqing, and there was a servant next to him, holding a plate in his hand and the bag inside the plate was the money bag given to Zhou Shangqing by Bai Ri Han Yuerong.

"This is a stolen person and stolen person."

Han Zhongliang said to Wang Shunying: "My magistrate, look at the money bag, it's a little girl, and this scholar is just a thief!" Han Zhongliang looked at Zhou Shangqing with a very disappointed look. He was just shaken before, but he did not regret the marriage. But today the housekeeper caught Zhou Shangqing's "stealing money". Han Zhongliang no longer wavered. He wanted to completely tear up the marriage contract.

"I can't marry my daughter to a thief."

Han Zhongliang said.

Zhou Shangqing's face was red, but he was worried about Han Yuerong's reputation and had no way to argue.

Cai Gua grinned aside.

"It's you!"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout, which made everyone look over. Monk Huisheng's eyes widened and looked at Cai Gua, shouting: "What a thief, do you still remember the incident in Liugou Temple?"

As soon as this said, Cai Gua's expression changed and she looked at Monk Huisheng in panic. He had previously threatened Zhou Shangqing to submit, and then Huisheng went to the quiet room to use Suzhai. Cai Gua didn't know that there was a monk from Liugou Temple by her side. Now she suddenly jumped out of the monk and asked about Liugou Temple again, which made him panic and asked, "Who are you?"

"Little Monk Huisheng!"

Monk Huisheng gritted his teeth and said, "You were involved in the Liugou Temple incident back then. I may not say that others are sincere, but I always think about you. I can recognize your figure at a glance! You killed my master back then!"

Everyone present looked at Cai Gua.

Cai Gua was sitting there, suddenly being exposed. He suddenly felt clumsy and could not say a word of refutation.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Su Yang sat there and smiled, looking at Han Zhongliang and said, "Han Yuanwai, you don't want to marry your daughter to a thief, but you want to marry your daughter to a thief's child... Both of them are thieves, one is stolen and the other is deadly."
