The Shocking and Extraordinary Romance of the Great Sage

The housekeeper Zong Guding had already arranged for the servants to find out the details, and then he told them accurately. He took two detectives with him and immediately inspected the gems. The Rongs and their daughters did not believe that the county magistrate would pass by the Luanshijiao River. There was no road there at all. How could a county magistrate pass by on official business? The gems were placed on the square table in the main room, with a strange brilliance. The steward of the clan said sternly:"Rongshi, Rongshi, who else can have such a rare treasure in Nan'an County! Return it to its original owner and return it to my county magistrate! Mr. Gou fell ill because of the loss of this treasure.." Rong was dissatisfied and said:"Master housekeeper, my daughter picked up this gem from a pile of rocks. How could the county magistrate go to that uninhabited and desolate place to pawn it?" Bai Yu's daughter said angrily:"Master, this is my little gem. The gem the woman picked up was a small stone found in the pile of rocks. There is no road in the field, and the county magistrate will never cross it." Butler Zong was stiff-backed, and immediately turned his face and said sternly:"How dare you, mother and daughter, slander you?! Greedy for people's treasures, isn't that the same as a thief! If you don't take your daughter to the cell, it will be an advantage for the Rong family!" After that, he stood up, rushed forward, grabbed the silver gem and went out. How dare two women? Block. The two fast men, holding the scabbard handles and guarding behind, followed the steward Zong and hurried away.

Zong Guding came to the magistrate's house, where Master Gou was playing with his concubine Zhan Yan. After seeing the ceremony, I avoided it and went into the side room. Butler Zong presented the silver gem respectfully with both hands and said:"My lord, when you passed by the Xixi River that day, you dropped this gem on the ground, and my servant picked it up." Magistrate Gou stared at the silver gem, extremely surprised, and held it in his hand with a smile. , can’t get enough of it, can’t get enough of it, can’t stop laughing. His heart sank, and he secretly rejoiced, chanting:"The fruit I heard from others is true, and it is not my treasure that belongs to me." He then said,"A dream has come true, a dream has come true!" Then he collected the gems and rewarded the two stewards of the sect. Two pieces of silver. Zongguding bowed his head and saluted, thanked him and left.

It's true:

Buying and selling officials has been around since ancient times, and corrupt people will be killed with swords.

Bribes are bribed with eloquent words in order to climb up the ranks and seek positions.

It is bound to be revealed in the end, and the black gauze hat does not fit the head.

There are many people who suffer the consequences of their own actions. I advise you not to risk your life.

Gou County Magistrate, whose courtesy name is Chang, is also nicknamed Mr. Caitou. Unlearned and incompetent, with a dark heart and greed, he was originally a businessman who bought and resold, and had been involved in the ranks of government and businessmen for a long time.

Even ten thousand taels of silver cannot buy it! Goumailing fell asleep and woke up laughing, feeling that gems could cure diseases. It used to be that the disease of the donkey did not occur but the disease of the horse did occur. Now, all the physical illness and heartache have been eliminated, and I can no longer feel the joy of spring breeze.

Bo Wogui was shocked: Tingting is dead, how can she be alive? She can also turn into a ghost. Hua Huiyu? Who is not greedy for life and afraid of death?
