Three Kingdoms

The war in Youbei did not affect the lives of some people in the mainland of the Han Dynasty.

It's like a touching ballad, which makes all the listeners shed tears and move their faces. However, if you are far away, you can only see the singer's mouth opening and closing, but you can't hear what is being sung, or even the singer can't be seen, and Why is there any emotion?

"I said, this batch of goods of yours, haha, it can't be done..." The middle-aged man in gray clothes shook his head and pointed at the lacquer box placed on the table, "...Look, it's all broken. So deep..."

The Han Dynasty liked to use lacquer boxes, but not all lacquer box wooden boards were made of perfect materials. There must be some lacquer box boards that were spliced ​​or repaired. Therefore, if the craftsmanship is not paid attention to, it is easy to form uneven or uneven surfaces on the paint surface. It's rupture.

This is a problem of craftsmanship, but it is also a problem of people.

But some people think it's not a problem.

"This... doesn't everyone have this?" If you don’t believe me, I’ll go find the Wang family for you, they have them too! I'm not the only one like this..." The boss in blue clothes said with a smile, "How about if you don't like the ones on the table, I'll change them for you... 』

The man in gray clothes rolled his eyes, "These are some of the goods I dug out of your batch in the warehouse... You only changed these few. Is it interesting?" This is what the court wants! 』

"The imperial court is right about what it wants, but isn't it also about ranking? ” The shopkeeper in blue clothes smiled and stepped forward, “Don’t embarrass me, brother... Look at how the nobles use this, it’s all good, isn’t it? These... haha, they look a little bit broken, but they can still be used normally..."

"Did you destroy this crap two years ago?" It's been two years, and you haven't thought about changing it? ” The man in gray clothes said dissatisfiedly, “Look at the Zhen family’s, the color and the paint surface are all like mirrors. How can I say that the light can judge people!” 』

"This...can be changed, but it will cost money!" Brother, my small business is not easy. Where can I get so much money to improve the craftsmanship? Besides, if these can't be sold, where will I get the money to improve the craftsmanship? "The shopkeeper said with a smile, "And don't you think this is just a wooden bean plate? What are you putting on the dishes to eat? Who cares whether the noodles are broken or not? It doesn't affect the use, absolutely not at all... Besides, if you don't like this difference, you can go with your own good ones if you have money..."

"That's what I said, but someone has an opinion..." The man in gray clothes said lazily, "Last time, someone said it in front of Xun Lingjun, saying that the new plates were all broken... It’s hard for me to do it..."

"Then...well, what did Xun Lingjun say?" ” The shopkeeper’s expression changed and he asked cautiously.

The man in gray clothes glanced at the shopkeeper, "You are stupid. If you really said something, I wouldn't be here..."

"right! Yep! I still feel sorry for my brother! Brother is loyal! ” The shopkeeper gave two thumbs up and praised, “You said those guys have nothing to do when they are full, why are they so excited? Isn't it just that the plate is a little broken? Whose plates won’t break after being used for a long time? Um? Besides, isn't this all... right? Aha! I thought of it! 』

The shopkeeper was startled, and Hui Yiyi was startled, "What are you doing?" It's so loud! 』

"Brother, I thought of it!" This will definitely shut up those troublesome guys! I can't even let out a fart! ” The shopkeeper’s face was full of excitement, and the flesh on his face was trembling.

"oh? ” The man in gray clothes blinked, “Tell me about it?” 』

"Let's just say that among our batch of goods, the ones that are broken or have gaps are all done "on purpose"..." the shopkeeper said mysteriously.

"deliberately? Are you hysterical? ” The man in gray clothes raised an eyebrow and said dissatisfiedly, “Who would believe what you say? 』

"Don't worry, brother, just listen to what I have to say..." The shopkeeper smiled and didn't care about the sarcasm in gray clothes.

The man in gray clothes chuckled, "Okay, you say it, you say it!" 』

"What I mean...didn't Mr. Cao propose frugality before?" "The shopkeeper winked and said, "Xun Lingjun also said, be simple and don't be extravagant..."

"Ah, that seems to be the case. ” The man in gray clothes nodded.

"so! The shopkeeper clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Look, isn't this just right?" ! These ** are "thrifty"! It’s “simple”! This is to remind these petty officials not to forget Cao Gong’s admonitions and not to disobey Xun Lingjun’s teachings! 』

"ah? ” The man in gray clothes was stunned.

"Brother, in order to better let these little officials understand this truth and put it into practice, I specially found a batch of plates like this, which are broken but not broken, broken but established, advocate frugality and pursue simplicity!" How about it? ! "The more the shopkeeper talked, the more excited he became, "And those minor officials who have objections can't realize that my brother is so attentive. It's really stupid and unreasonable! 』

"Hiss..." The man in gray clothes pinched the beard on his chin and said nothing.

"In this case, what other opinions can they have? What did they dare to say in front of Xun Lingjun? ” The shopkeeper laughed, obviously very satisfied with his wisdom.

The man in gray clothes frowned, "You said it was done on purpose?" Isn't it an issue with the quality of the plate's craftsmanship? 』

"Absolutely not!" ” The shopkeeper said categorically, “This is done intentionally, just to be in line with the people and pursue simplicity! Moreover, it was my brother who worked so hard to find me like this. I was unwilling to do it at first. It was my brother who made it specially for Cao Gong’s order! This is brand new! Special craftsmanship! Brand new special craftsmanship! 』

"Wait, what craft?" "The man in gray clothes couldn't react for a moment.

"Tabby, uh no, shabby, no, old craftsmanship! ” said the shopkeeper.

"Broken...made, old craftsmanship?" ” The man in gray clothes seemed to be a little moved.

The shopkeeper clapped his hands and said, "Exactly!" 』

The man in gray clothes swallowed, "Specially made?" So to say……"

The shopkeeper smiled happily, "Of course, it's specially made, the price...ah, haha, hahaha, of course, I have the final say, I have the final say!" It’s enough for me to earn some money to support my family. Really, I just want to support my family... Really, I know this. I have been honest since I was a child. I have never lied to others. I have never told a lie in my life... 』

……(?▽?)/ヾ(^▽^ヾ)……

"I really didn't lie to you!" "An impatient voice sounded, "Really, really, absolutely true! What do you think I would do if I lied to you? I can’t eat two more bowls of rice if I lie to you! 』

Then he looked at the person opposite him and said, "Really!" Take a look, I've written it all down, and I'll definitely report it to you! No problem, remember it all, remember it, never forget it! 』

This is a semi-large official house. There are three big characters hanging high outside the house, "Zhiyin Room".

The clerk in the room waited for the person who had just arrived to leave, then finally breathed out, "Hi! What is this! 』

"What's up? Breaking the news! ”Another clerk in the room responded casually.

"Isn't it? "Little Li Jia said, "I don't even have a name, what's the use of telling me? You still have to ask me to write it down. What’s the use of writing it down? 』

"Isn't it? "Old Liaison Yi also sighed, "We just make a living, do you really think we can take care of things? If we don’t talk to people who can really take care of things and talk to us who can talk to us, are these people stupid? 』

"Are more and more people coming?" Can't we live a peaceful life for a few days? ” Junior Official A sighed, then pointed to the talent record on the desk and said, “What should I do with this? I still have to use a knife to sharpen it, my knife is already dull..."

The clerk Yi said nonchalantly, "What else can I do? Just peel it off as usual. You can write again after peeling it off. Do you still want to burn it?" What a waste... Then, use my knife later, I just sharpened it yesterday, so that... uh, someone is coming..."

The newcomer stood at the door and stared at the clerk in the room.

"Excuse me..." A habitual smile appeared on Xiao Li Jia's face, "What's your surname?" 』

The visitor cupped his hand and said, "Under the tent of the Western Region's Protectorate, Sima Gao Wutong, the forward of the left route army!" 』

"Oh, oh, I've seen Gao Sima..." Little Official Yi greeted, "Gao Sima, please come in and sit down. Ah, I'm really sorry. This place is shabby and the hospitality is not good. Please forgive me..."

"Yes, please forgive me, Gao Sima... Well, Gao Sima, how about you drink some water first?" ” Xiao Li A pretended to push the water bowl and pitcher that were originally placed in his hand forward a little.

Li Jia dared to swear on his *** that he really just pushed forward a little bit, at most the width of a ***. He originally thought that Gao Wutong would say no, but he didn't expect Gao Wutong to do so. He nodded and said, "Thank you very much. I just happened to be thirsty after leaving!" 』

There wasn't a lot of water in the small pitcher, so Gao Wutong drank it all in two or three gulps.

Officer A subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling that his throat was a little dry, and secretly regretted why he didn't take a few more sips just now...

"Ahem..." Little Li Yi coughed twice and drew Gao Wutong's attention, "I wonder what happened to Gao Sima today?" 』

"correct! Gao Wutong said seriously, "Lieutenant Chang of the rear camp of the Zuo Army deducted 30% of the military pay of my subordinates for no reason!" Last year, we said we would reissue this year, but this year I went, but it turned out that it was gone! 』

"It's Chang again..." Xiao Lijia muttered.

"What did you say? Gao Wutong asked.

The clerk quickly smiled and said, "Nothing, nothing, I mean... sometimes the calculation may be wrong, and this will happen..."

Gao Wutong nodded and said, "I thought so before, so after I went back, I reported the number of people in our army and the accounts." 』

"Hmm, what next?" ” asked Li Yi.

Gao Wutong slapped his leg and said, "He said he didn't see it!" I asked them to look for it, but they said they couldn't find it! 』

"Well, this... things in the back camp are complicated, maybe I really haven't found it..." Xiao Liyi said, "Then Gao Sima, you should go to the captain of the back camp... If that doesn't work, you can go to General Wei, he is Officers……"

"I looked for it too," Gao Wutong said, "I couldn't find it!" 』

"What...what do you mean not found?" ” asked the young official.

"Just not in the back camp." Gao Wutong said, "I asked his subordinates and they didn't know where he was." Then I asked the people in the back camp what to do about this matter? They said it would be up to you..."

"This... there may be some misunderstanding..." Officer Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "We are both just here. Seriously, I will never lie to you..."

"This is true, absolutely true..." Little Li Jia also said with a wry smile, "Gao Sima, you don't know, we have just arrived here not long ago, and we can only live in this small house. Even You have to drink water yourself..."

"Well? Gao Wutong cupped his hands and said, "Well, I'm sorry, I just drank all your water..."

"No, no, that's not what I meant," the clerk waved his hand and said, "That's really not what I meant. I mean, we can't help... We really can't help with this matter..."

Gao Wutong frowned and asked, "Then why do people in the back camp tell you to take care of it?" 』

Officer Yi shook his head and sighed, "It's not just people from the back camp, people from all over the country and everywhere are asking us to come to them..."

"Why? Gao Wutong asked.

The little official was beating his chest and feet in pain, "I don't know, that damn thing said that we can directly communicate with the superiors and subordinates and communicate with God, so we can take care of all the big and small things... Gao Sima, tell me, if we really have this ability, Will we still stay in this little room? We really can’t control it, really, really, I’m not going to lie to you..."

"..." Gao Wutong didn't know what to say for a moment.

Officer A and Officer B held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved. We didn’t eat other people’s rice, and we even had to fetch the water we drank. As a result, we had to suffer so many grievances every day, had many things to do, and were scolded from time to time. These days, it’s really impossible. alive...

"Ahem..." Gao Wutong broke the silence, "Then what can you do?" 』

"ah? us? This..." Xiao Lijia blinked twice, "The most we can do is write it down once, right? 』

Gao Wutong nodded and said, "Then just write it down!" Really remember it! 』

"ah? ha? ”Jia Li didn’t understand.

"I just saw it. What are you pretending to write on the wooden slip that is already full of writing?" Gao Wutong twisted his neck to the side and gestured to the wooden slip on the clerk's desk.

"Uh..." Xiao Lijia grinned, "This..."

"It's not your fault if you can't control it, but why don't you do it well if you can do it?" ” Gao Wutong said, “Forget it, I understand... Anyway, I have said this, you can figure it out... I’m leaving! 』

Gao Wutong stood up quickly, touched his hands as a salute, and then left.

"Ah..." Officer Yi frowned and looked at Gao Wutong's retreating figure. Then he turned to Officer A and asked, "You said... what are we going to do about this matter?" 』

……(*T_T*) # (*T_T*)……

"What should we do?" What do you think? What can be done? ” A scribe waved his sleeves and said, “Coax him to go!” Really, you can’t settle such a trivial matter, so what else do you need to do? ah? ! 』

"Dare to ask Dali Si Zheng, so about this case..." A clerk asked cautiously, "How should it be handled?" 』

"How to deal with it?" Dali Temple was blowing his beard, "No need to ask!" ? Gone! This belongs to the Xiahou family! How many brains do you have? ah? 』

The clerk held his head and left.

Dali Temple turned around and laughed with his colleagues: "This Xiahou family has really weird habits. How many people are you here?" Tsk! Why! We are really young and ignorant, and we don’t know how to cover up... We have been sued over and over again, and it’s hard for us to do anything..."

"Exactly, exactly. "The other person said with a smile, "But in this beautiful scenery, in the wild...hehehehe, it must have a different flavor..."

"oh? real? 』

"Hehe, haha..."

When several people were laughing and discussing where they felt most comfortable, the clerk who had just been slowly moved back again, "Report... I report to the master of Dali Temple, this, this enemy." Don’t want to leave…』

"What? ! Are you going against the grain? ! ” Dali Temple slapped the table and stood up, “You bastard! You can't even handle such a small thing! Lead the way! I want to see how talented he is, but he doesn't listen to kind words! 』

Just as Dali Temple walked into the side hall, he saw a person with a face full of sorrow and was about to rush towards him. He quickly shouted and asked the government servants and others to hold the sufferer, and then he stood firm and stepped back. Leg, asked very seriously: "Are you the one who wants to sue General Xiahou's third son?" Why are you suing General Xiahou's third son? 』

The sufferer cried loudly, "Yes!" I want to sue the third son of Xiahou! Xiahou... my wife, who was out of the city... was actually killed by this little beast..."

"Shut up! Say evil things! ! ” Dali Temple looked serious and serious, “How can Dali Temple, a majestic Dali Temple, roar in court at will! Come on, slap twenty first! 』

After giving the order, a yamen officer immediately stepped forward and held down the torturer, and slapped him twenty times fiercely.

"Well... remember, don't say bad words... tell me again... what exactly is going on?" ” Dali Si was slowly stroking his beard.

『@#@……』

How could the sufferer, whose cheeks were swollen and bruised, speak clearly?

"Ah, I can't hear you clearly... Let's go back first and come back when you can explain clearly..." Dali Si said with a smile.

The sufferer shook his head wildly and refused to leave.

Dali Temple's face slowly changed, and he grabbed the complaint that had been recorded by the clerk on the side. He glanced up and down and said, "I said... you said that your wife is pure and kind, so why are you running out of the city when you have nothing to do?" ? Um? Oh, visiting friends. Would a girl from a good family casually visit her friends? Um? Well, even if you are visiting friends, what are you doing if you don’t go home quickly after visiting friends and hang around outside the city? Um? He was still wearing red and green clothes. Did he hear something that he was deliberately trying to seduce General Xiahou's third son? After the peace was concluded, he was not satisfied with seeking money, so he wanted to assassinate the third son of General Xiahou! The hairpin is a weapon of murder! This person has all the evidence, but you dare to confuse right and wrong and falsely accuse the third son of General Xiahou? ! 』

"Originally, I thought you were a first-time offender, and I wanted to get a reduction, but you actually didn't know what to do and insisted on falsely accusing me! This is really unreasonable! Dali Temple was tearing the complaint to pieces casually, "Here comes someone!" Twenty heavy responsibilities, and then go out with someone! Serve as a warning! 』

The officer shouted loudly, then came up and pushed the victim to the ground, and immediately executed him.

"snort! ” Dali Sizheng glanced sideways, then ignored him, flicked his sleeves and walked back unsteadily.

"How about it? "My colleague asked, "Is it done? 』

"Of course it's settled!" ” Dali Temple said proudly, “I think back then I was... well, diligently studying and refining the documents. How could I not be able to deal with such a small matter? 』

"awesome! 』

"Hahaha……"

While they were laughing and chatting, suddenly a servant staggered in with sweat on his head, stained with blood and mud, and threw himself at the foot of Dali Temple. "No... it's not good... my mistress is out... going out for an outing... in the forest." Zhongping... met Xia, Xiahou..."

Dali Sizheng's smile froze on his face, and he suddenly felt that his vision went dark and he fell backwards!
