They say they are looking for cattle, but they are actually looking for fish. Where can they find it in such a big place?
For a farmer, a cow is everything in the family, more important than life. The old farmer cried and begged. Jingzhao Mansion didn't care, so he could only go to Dali Temple. Fortunately, two servants came, otherwise he would have wanted to die.
The heart has it all.
Wen Chen felt pity for him and comforted him: "If you can't, I'll pay you a cow. That's a cow with long legs. God knows where it went. Maybe it was stolen?"
Don't cry, you are crying at such an old age. If the cow is not found, you will be gone first."
He Captou scolded him: "Shut up, you have two dollars and you are so worried. How much can you afford to pay for the lost things? Be smart, if you lose his cow, the whole village will come looking for it."
You report the crime and ask for something.
Compassion depends on where you use it. Boy, don't cause trouble. If something does happen, I won't care about you."
Poor people also have hateful qualities. He Baotou has eaten more salt in his life than Wen Chen has eaten. It was a sermon to him.
"Then what do you think we should do? Should we forget if we can't find it?"
"What else? The world is like this. When someone is unlucky, consider yourself unlucky."
The old man cried even more miserably: "My cow can't come back, and I can't live anymore. I might as well die. I bought a cow with all the money I saved in my life and lost it when I was just an adult. How can I live!"
Wen Chen touched his chin, thought for a while, and suddenly clapped his hands and said: "If the cow is lost, there are only two possibilities. One is to take it to the livestock market and sell it for money, and the other is to eat it. Let's go to these two places to find it.
It’s better than searching aimlessly here.”
Capt. He's eyes lit up, "Okay, I'll leave it to you to find him. My old man will go back and take a rest."
"Okay, Master, please go to Wen's Restaurant, have some wine and peanuts, and wait for my good news."
"The Wen Family Restaurant? Is it the Wen Family, the imperial businessman?"
"Yes, I am the fourth young master of the Wen family. You tell me my name for free."
He Captou shook his head: "Old man, if I don't take advantage of you, I'll go back to the Yamen and wait."
If he had not regarded him as his disciple, he would not have enjoyed Wen Chen's filial piety. Old man He is a principled person.
Wen Chen didn't think much about it and went to find his good friend Yuan Zixuan together. He would have to search for several days by himself. If the delay continued, the cow would be sold, the people would run away, or the food would be eaten, and there would be no chance at all.
After hearing this, Yuan Zixuan thought he was joking, "Looking for a cow? Wen Chen, are you serious?"
"Of course, didn't you see that I was wearing the official uniform of Dali Temple? In the future, we will be a big shot as the minister of Dali Temple. When you see me, you have to call me Lord Wen!"
"Haha..., okay, Mr. Wen, Mr. Wen, the Qing of Dali Temple, Mr. Wen who is looking for cattle, I am waiting for that day. Let's go and find cattle for our Mr. Wen."
The Six Ministries and Nine Ministers are all the real big shots in the court. How many people may not reach the position of the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers in their entire lives? Wen Chen actually wants to be the Minister of Dali Temple?
It's really bragging and not drafting. This is the funniest joke Yuan Zixuan has heard this year.
But don't throw cold water on your brother, go find him.
First, we went to the livestock market near the vegetable market. As soon as we entered, we were choked and ran out. The smell was mixed with all kinds of feces and urine. Flies can eat people. How can a pampered young man stand this?
"You go, there is a yellow ox, it is two years old and its horns have just grown. Let's find out more about it."
Wen Chen threw a tael of silver to Yuan Zixuan's boy and asked him to inquire. He and Yuan Zixuan were lazy and sat on the roadside drinking tea.
"Lord Wen, this temple minister's errand is not that easy, right?"
Yuan Zixuan teased him, he would die before he left the army!
It's so fun.
Wen Chen said seriously: "My eldest sister said that only by enduring hardships can one become a master. When I become the minister of the temple, I will have many capable subordinates to work for me. Just give me an order, not to mention a cow, even a fly."
Found it for me."
"Okay, if you want to be the minister of Dali Temple, I will ask my eldest brother to find a high official for me, and we will go to court together."
The teahouse owner looked at the two of them as if they were crazy, they were really good at blowing!
Money can make a fool of himself, not to mention that the boy brought back a man named Wang Wu, who works as a broker in the livestock market and knows this place better than his own home.
"Young Master Wen, he said he had seen that cow."
"Hello, young masters, someone brought me to sell the cattle the day before yesterday, because buying and selling farm cattle is against the law. The man was very careful, but the little thing in the livestock market couldn't hide it from the little one. The little one saw someone buying it."
Wen Chen was overjoyed: "Who is it? Take us there quickly."
Wang Wu looked confused, rubbing his fingers and looking at them: "Young ones still have to make money to support their families. They have an eighty-year-old mother and a young son who is several years old..."
"Okay, your benefits are indispensable."
Need money!
These days, nothing can be done without money. Wen Chen threw him a tael of silver, and Wang Wu smiled happily, "Young master, please be happy. I will take you there."
The people at the bottom have their own way of survival. A cow is no small matter. Whether it is found by the government or the owner, it must be given some benefits. Wang Wu paid attention to the whereabouts of the cow, and it really came in handy.
After walking two streets, we found ourselves in a deep alley, "I saw a cow entering the house on the right hand side of the innermost house. I can't take care of what happened after that. Sir, I'll resign."
Wen Chen grabbed his neck and said, "Wait until I see the cow before you leave. If you take my money and don't find the cow, how can you spit it out?"
"I swear, I'm definitely not lying to you. It's really this family."
Yuan Zixuan sneered: "I swear to every girl that they are my only true love. I have sworn it no less than ten times. If men swear it works, there will be less heartless people in the world."
Wen Chen was surprised: "I didn't see it, you are quite self-aware."
"That's because we are bad in the open, and we are not like those scholars who are sanctimonious and set up memorial arches even if they are pretending to be a show-off."
Yuan Zixuan said proudly, Wen Chen was also convinced, what a talent!
Wang Wu had no choice but to follow them and knock on the door. After a while, someone really came to open the door: "Who is it?"
Wen Chen kicked him away: "Don't touch the case of Dali Temple!"
This roar was majestic, but what was waiting for him was a long sword, stabbing him in the heart. Wen Chen was stunned, I just found a cow, there is no need to kill me, right?
Fortunately, Yuan Zixuan pulled him, and the long sword made a long gash on his arm. Wen Chen was not pierced through the heart by the sword.
"Damn it, if you dare to sneak up on me, where can you run?"
Wen Chen pushed the door open and rushed in, but was pulled back by Yuan Zixuan: "Brother, are you stupid? People who dare to kill people are not just ordinary thieves. Did you go in and kill someone?"
