Guo Lingyun still remembered hearing such a thing when he first entered the Jinyi Guard in Shangjing.
In Beiliang City, not far from Beijing, there was a shocking "Abacus Case". The case was directly tried by Dali Temple in Beijun County, and the executioners were all local Jinyi guards. According to colleagues, this abacus case was caused by a Tang sect student who went astray and borrowed a beheading loan with six times the interest. He had no choice but to inform the sect, and finally brought the matter to Dali Temple.
According to legal principles, if a loan shark earns more than three points of profit, the stolen money will be collected and distributed with tattoos. But the water behind this case was deeper than everyone thought. At the beginning, Dali Temple arrested three people who were lending money. But a few days later, Dali Temple suddenly became silent and did not announce the results of the case to the public.
Another half month later, two-thirds of the county officials in the entire Beiliang were suddenly arrested and imprisoned. The leading county magistrate, the chief registrar, and the local school captain immediately sentenced them to harsh sentences, all of which were sentenced to death.
Later, Dali Temple held the imperial order and ordered the local Jinyi Guards to detain all the accomplices confessed by the moneylenders. These people didn't even wait for the Queen of Autumn. Three handwritten letters from the current emperor and an urgent golden order killed the heads of these thirty villains.
In an instant, the hearts of the entire Beiliang were in a state of excitement. The common people only felt happy, but the wealthy families with the pickling industry behind them all went crazy. They cut off their wrists and threw away the shameful things that brought them huge wealth. All clean.
In less than a month, all casinos in Beiliang were closed down, brothels were abandoned, gangsters who once roamed the streets suddenly died on the streets, and all the nursing homes that once dominated the market were gone.
Since then, the entire Beiliang has been clear and clear, and the silt and filth have been swept away. After the Jin Yiwei in other places learned about this, they all believed that it was a private visit by a relative of the emperor or a high-ranking official's son using his authority. Otherwise, it would be impossible to sweep away the originally strong "net".
Now, Guo Lingyun learned the truth from Tang Guan. He never expected that the culprits of the dirty and dirty abacus cases that frightened the officials and wealthy businessmen of Beiliang City were just a few students of the Imperial Academy. And the reason why they did this was just to seek justice for their classmates who died unjustly.
Thinking of this, Guo Lingyun felt a little sad, and admired Zhou Li spontaneously. He raised his head with emotion and looked at Zhou Li, who was slumping in the beautiful woman's arms and enjoying himself.
?
Seeing Zhou Li, who showed no shame at all and fell directly into the surging soft fragrance with a happy face, Guo Lingyun's original admiration instantly changed and the expression on his face solidified.
At this time, Zhou Li faced the adulation and praise from the people around him, lowered his hands and said humbly: "Oh, don't be like this, it's just some insignificant cleverness."
"Sir, do you know the origin of our Mountain God Village?"
Although he knew it clearly in his heart, Zhou Li looked like a curious baby on the surface and asked puzzledly: "Does the origin of this mountain god village have anything to do with me?"
"It's so relevant!"
The old man stamped his feet, his beard trembling with excitement: "Sir, how do you think we are dressed? Are the jewelry we wear luxurious? Are the men majestic and the women plump?"
"That's true."
Zhou Li rubbed his chin, nodded, and said curiously:
"Your clothes are obviously high-end silk and satin from the three provinces of Jiangnan. This beautiful woman's jewelry is also high-end goods from Jincui Town in the Central Plains. And your crutch, if I guess correctly, this cat's eye green is from Zhonglan Mountain Ice water species. Look at your plump bodies and luxurious faces. It seems that under your governance, this mountain god village is extremely wealthy."
"Oh~~~ Sir, please don't be like this. I am just an old man of eighty or eighty years old. How can I alone take credit for this?"
Hearing this, the old man felt relieved physically and mentally. He glanced at the mountains not far away without leaving any trace, and then said doubtfully:
"I'm a little curious, why does the young master know so many luxurious and wealthy things at such a young age?"
"Hi."
Zhou Li waved his hand and said with a smile: "I had a part-time job before."
"Part-time counterfeiter."
"I am old and frail, so you should encourage me."
The old man was overjoyed. He glanced sideways at the mountain and regarded the young man as a candidate for the next village chief.
"Dont look at me."
Sensing the frightened look in Guo Lingyun's eyes, Tang Wan sat cross-legged on a tree trunk and said unsteadily: "When he was in school, his family was short of money, so he had many part-time jobs."
While sighing that Zhou Li was really skilled in craftsmanship, Guo Lingyun turned his attention to Zhou Li who was talking to the old man not far away.
At this time, the old man had already taught Zhou Li about the rich cultural history of their Shanshen Village (the villagers' adventures in getting rich), the cultural environment (dementia and stupidity, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling), and the broad prospects of opportunities (spreading coins). After saying this, as expected by the village chief, Zhou Li's face immediately showed an excited look.
"Is there such a beautiful thing?"
Zhou Li held the village chief's hand tightly, took off one of the other's gold rings without leaving any trace, and said excitedly: "Village Chief, where do I live?"
"Don't worry, the young master still needs to pass three tests, which are the three money tests."
Looking at Zhou Li, who had a stiff expression on his face, the village chief smiled with relief and comforted him: "Don't worry, our Qian San Pass is simply tailor-made for people like Young Master."
"Ouch."
Zhou Li's expression immediately softened. He gently patted the beautiful woman's plump buttocks and signaled her to leave first. Then he looked at the old man in front of him and said flatteringly:
"Then can you... give me some tips on these tests? So I can be prepared."
"Haha, you kid."
The old man laughed, and then he motioned to the crowd around him. Soon, two large barrels appeared at the entrance of the village. Under the greedy gaze of everyone, the old man took out a small mountain god statue, knelt down on the ground devoutly, and muttered something.
The next second, countless brand-new copper coins shone with oil and fell into the two wooden barrels like light rain.
"This first level is called money-seeking."
Patting the wooden bucket filled with copper coins, the old man narrowed his rat eyes and said with a smile: "This level requires you, sir, to take what you have on you and drill all the money holes in the bucket. You can take your hair, and Just drill through with your fingers.”
Um?
Zhou Li was stunned for a moment because this was different from the answer given by the man who was being tortured. The man said that the first level only requires drilling for money, and you can also use a branch to drill. But what the village chief was talking about was something "on his body". This time the difference is far worse.
Of course, this was not a problem for Zhou Li at all.
"As long as it's something I have on my body, anything will do?"
Facing Zhou Li's doubts, the old man nodded and affirmed: "Anything is fine."
"good."
Zhou Li didn't hesitate and walked directly to the two large water tanks under the gaze of everyone. Then he took out a water bag, spat into it, and then directly poured the water in the water bag into the large tank under the shocked gazes of the villagers and the old man.
"That's it, right?"
Seeing the water droplets sinking into the copper coin's eyes, Zhou Li looked at the village chief and said deeply: "It counts after dilution, right?"
