    On this day, Wang Er went to Fucheng to pick up goods, and Wang Da sat at the counter and stared at the passers-by on the street in a daze.  The store is deserted. At this time last year, some yangko, stilt troupes, temples, and opera troupes would always come to buy some cheap musical instruments for the occasion. This year, none of them can be sold. I can¡¯t go to the street to attract people.  .

    Wang Da was so worried that he couldn't do anything. Thinking about it carefully, his father always said that he had chest tightness. The serious illness last year was caused by a sudden faint. Now there is no injury on his body after the autopsy. Could it be that he died because of shame and anger, heart block and shortness of breath.  Now that Wang's Musical Instrument Store is notorious due to the trouble, the whole family is about to drink Northwest Wind, what should we do?

    Just as he was thinking about something on his mind, someone suddenly patted the counter and said with a smile: "Da Wang, why are you so dazed? Are you planning to buy something for the New Year?"

    Wang Dayi raised his head and saw a clean and hale old man in a green cloth robe standing outside the counter with a smile on his face. He quickly got up and greeted him, and said with a smile on his face: "Boss Wu, why are you always free? Please hurry up."  Come in. In the house, make a pot of tea quickly."

    This handsome old man is called Wu Jie. He is in his early fifties. He is a businessman from Sichuan and Shanxi Province who brought medicinal materials near the capital. His wealth is far from comparable to that of the Wang family.  Jimingyi is the distribution center for his turnover of medicinal materials, so he stays here for half a year. Most of the people who do business here recognize this big-spending Boss Wu.

    Wu Jie sat down on the chair with a smile, and said: "What are you busy with, isn't it the New Year's Eve soon? I'm going back to celebrate the New Year after finishing this business. I passed by you to take a look. Why are you sitting at the counter today? Look!  , I still don¡¯t know how to talk about it, it¡¯s very cold in front of the door, where¡¯s your father?¡±

    Wang Da's face darkened, and he forced a smile and said, "Oh, Boss Wu, to tell you the truth, my father just left a few days ago."

    Wu Jie was taken aback, and lost his voice: "How come? When I left here to go to Shanchuan to buy medicinal materials, Boss Wang was still in good health. Why the old problem of chest tightness and shortness of breath last year happened again?  "

    Wang Da's wife poured a pot of tea and came out, also with a sad face. Seeing Boss Wu, she forced a smile and bowed, poured a cup of tea and retreated to the back room.

    Wu Jie took out his emerald mouth pipe from his sleeve, took out a bag of shredded tobacco mixed with medicinal materials from the purse tied on his belt, lit it with coals, took a leisurely puff, narrowed his eyes and said: "  Boss Wang is looking for seven people. As the saying goes, seventy is rare in life, and Boss Wang is considered to be at the end of his life. It can be regarded as a happy funeral. I know that you two brothers are very filial. Come, come, sit down, don¡¯t be sad, here you go  I said and said."

    General Wang told the story back and forth, during which he naturally concealed the fact that the beads were found from his father, and at the end he said bitterly: "Father's hatred is irreconcilable, Boss Wu, you have traveled far and wide, and you have seen a lot.  If I don¡¯t report my revenge, I won¡¯t be scolded to death by the neighbors poking my spine? It¡¯s just that nowcough, his family is powerful, spreading rumors everywhere, so, you also  See, even the guests don¡¯t come to the door. The county lord is not in the mansion, I see, he speaks nicely, and it seems that the officials are protecting each other and deliberately favoring the Ma family.¡±

    Wu Jie sneered and said with a puff of smoke: "What is it like? Is it not clear, they are helping the Wang family."

    Wang Da was surprised and angry when he heard this, he slapped his thigh bitterly and said, "I'll just say, we are asked to find a doctor and a pharmacy owner, and we need to go to the county sun, but he is always absent, so  Hey, hey, he is forcing me to go to Beijing to sue the imperial court with the law of the Ming Dynasty."

    Boss Wu took a puff of cigarette, rolled his eyes and said, "You thought this was the Hongwu period? Going to Beijing to sue the imperial court? Thanks to your imagination, the emperor lived in the Forbidden City, guarded by heavy gates and heavy soldiers. You can see that  What? Even if I saw it, so what? The magistrate of the county did not say that he would not handle this case. Human life is more important than heaven.  When you are sentenced to the crime of slandering the imperial court officials and deceiving the emperor, that is a serious crime of copying and beheading the whole family and destroying the nine clans."

    Hearing such terrible consequences, Wang Da couldn't help being terrified. He took a long breath and said, "My darling, thank you, Boss Wu, for reminding me. I have little knowledge and have never seen anything in the world. If I didn't listen to your old words  , but it will cause a great disaster for myself, thishow can I do this?"

    Boss Wu smiled slightly, exhaled the smoke leisurely, watched the smoke curl up, and said slowly: "Brother Wang, my brother doesn't have much knowledge, but I have heard and seen a lot of things like this when traveling all over the world.  That's all. It is often said that Taoists don't fight with officials, and there is another saying that people's hearts are like iron, and officials' laws are like furnaces. You don't have enough evidence on this matter.  I can't go on making trouble at home, I haveA good word of advice, I wonder if you would listen to it?  "

    After hearing this, Wang Da quickly picked up the pot and refilled some hot tea for Boss Wu, and said respectfully: "Boss Wu, please tell me, to tell you the truth, I haven't been in the mood for the past two days, that's really true.  Riding on the back of a tiger, you can't get up and down, you always have a good idea, please always look at the face of the dead father, and don't hesitate to give me advice."

    Boss Wu chuckled, knocked the cigarette pot on the leg of the chair lightly, put it on the table lightly, took a sip of tea calmly, and then said slowly: "Speaking of this matter  The son was originally unclear. Although you have witnesses to prove that Ma Ang was arguing with you, Boss Wang died, but no one can prove for you that Ma Ang beat him. That Yang Xiucai is a famous person.  He was the one who was present from the beginning to the end. If I were the magistrate, I wouldn't be able to convict him just like that, so you really can't blame him for being the county magistrate.

    Now that things have turned out like this Brother Wang, don¡¯t be offended if I¡¯m to be fair. Boss Wang is a man of Wangqi, and his passing away is also his own business. I know you are a filial son, not  Sincerely want to drag someone's younger generation to accompany him to death, but if he really wronged him, aren't you adding a crime to your father?

    Besides, you live here with your family and you are really going to offend Ma Yicheng. He has just taken office and there are still a few years to do. Can you beat him?  What's more, this case has been protracted for a long time, not to mention your family's ruin and death, and your old father's bones cannot be buried in the ground. This cold winter is piled up in the house, and he is still disemboweled, boned and injured. He took your brother  The two of you are fighting each other, and you won't be able to die with a whole body in the end, how can you bear it?  "

    Wang Da heard his snot and tears, sobbing and said: "Boss Wu, you always give me an idea, so what should I do now?"

    Wu Jie smiled slightly, and said: "If you really have a lot of filial piety, then Mr. Wang will live his life peacefully and die without jealousy. Forgive me, no matter the truth or falsehood of the ignorant's money, the Ma family will never pursue it ignorantly.

    However, although your father was not beaten to death, some disputes in business, old age, frailty and anger caused his death. The Ma family still cannot get rid of it. If you don¡¯t punish him heavily, it will be difficult to get angry with you.  In front of the neighbors, it is even more unreasonable.  In my opinion, it's better to ask Ma's family to pay you a few dozen taels of silver, and he should pay for the funeral expenses. What do you think of this lawsuit being handled in this way?  "

    Wang Da bowed his head and said nothing, and pondered for a long time before he stammered: "This If we deal with it like this, won't people laugh at my brother for seeking money and ignoring my father's hatred? This word, let me  Howhow can I speak?"

    Boss Wu's eyes flashed, and just as he was about to make another statement, a man rode a donkey and walked to the door, jumped off the donkey, tied the rein, stomped his feet and rushed into the room with a serious face. Wang Da looked up and saw that it was  Brother Wang Er hurriedly stood up and said, "Second brother, you are back, why?"

    He glanced outside, and said in amazement: "Didn't I ask you to bring in a batch of bamboo whistles, bamboo flutes, gongs, and cymbals? Why did you come back empty-handed?"

    Wang Er cupped his hands to Boss Wu and said, "Hello, Boss Wang." Then he walked over and sat down on his brother's chair, angrily said: "What kind of goods did you buy? Boss Liu wants us to trade in cash and refuses to buy on credit."  ".

    Wang Daqi said: "How could it be? Our family was willing to give us credit on credit when we did business with him for the first time last year. Now we have been dealing with him for more than a year and have never owed him money. How can we ask for cash transactions?"

    Wang Erdao: "Isn't it because of the killing talent of the Ma family, I don't know who is the gossip" When he said this, he suddenly remembered that Boss Wu was still sitting in the room, and quickly shut up.

    Wu Jie took a sip of tea, stood up slowly and said: "Business is busy these days, I won't sit down any longer, so I'll go back now, see you two next year." He smiled and bowed to Wang Dawang  Clasping hands, Shi Shi ran out.

    Hearing what his brother said, Wang Da was stunned for a long time. Seeing that Boss Wu had turned his eyes away, he couldn't help stomping his feet resentfully, and hurriedly chased him out, shouting from behind: "Boss Wu, please wait  Wait, there is really a better way than your idea, but this matter, I also ask your old man to mediate on your behalf, please help me."  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
