(There's something in the afternoon.,The chapter at 16 o'clock was sent first)

"Pavilion Chief, Pavilion Chief Heifu!"

On the twentieth day of the lunar month, when the market was off (15 o'clock to 17 o'clock), in the Xi market of Anlu County, on the bustling streets, the freshly baked Shangzao Heifu strode in front with an earthy red scarf on his head.

Behind him, the frail Chaoyangli Gongshi chased after him, shouting Heifu's name loudly as he walked.

Heifu didn't want to stop, until he was blocked by a group of people passing through the alley in front of him, and he had to stop his pace.

Go to rush to him, block the way, panting, and then he looked at Heifu deeply, and said: "Thank you to the pavilion chief for borrowing money to solve my urgent need, but the left half of the deed, the pavilion chief forgot about me......"

As he spoke, he handed over an IOU deed with seal characters in both hands!

It turned out that just now, because he couldn't pay off the fine of 4,032 yuan in the top three, he was taken to the county office by the county prison officer, ready to let him sign the document and do more than a year of labor for the government.

Qu Ji was about to sign, but unexpectedly, Heifu, the head of the Huyang Pavilion who personally arrested him that day, suddenly came and said that he was willing to lend money to Qu Ji, so that he could pay the arrears immediately and be exempted from hard labor.

Heifu also asked a few officials to testify on the spot, and signed a deed of loan with Quji, Heifu held the left coupon, and went to the right coupon, but when they left the official temple, Heifu also stuffed the left coupon into Quji's hand, and then strode away......

How can you not know what Heifu means? But he was a sincere man and couldn't do such a thing, so he chased after Heifu all the way, and now he finally caught up, and he had to return the left half of the deed to Heifu.

He said from the bottom of his heart: "I understand the pavilion chief's intentions, but I am also a shameless person, breaking the law and being a thief (zī), how can I let the pavilion chief take the reward money for the thief to atone for me?" The pavilion chief can rest assured that although my family is not rich, within three or five years, I will save more than 4,000 yuan to repay it, and there will be no problem! ”

Heifu couldn't cry or laugh, although he looked sick and sick, he was stubborn, and he resolutely didn't want the money he was given! It seems that this is indeed a good person, and it is not in vain that he helped him once.

So Hefu pushed his hand back and said sincerely: "I want to pay for you, because this matter is entirely because of me. It is human nature that you witness a grave robber committing a crime, but you are afraid of the revenge of the officials and thieves, and you are not ashamed. That's why you sent an anonymous letter, which is a helpless move. You are not at fault, but the law does not allow it, and it does not relieve you. ”

He said: "I'm just a fighting official, and I can't change the sentence of the prison pen, let alone the terms of the law, so I can only start by changing myself." So he took it upon himself to come up with money to save you from disaster, and the reason why he publicly stated that the money was borrowed from you was also to avoid trouble. These 4,000 dollars should be regarded as the reward you deserve for reporting, don't shirk again! ”

It's one thing for a civil servant to pay for a criminal to eliminate disasters, it's another thing to lend money to others, and Heifu also took advantage of the law.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, he was even more moved, and he bowed again and said: "The head of the Heifu Pavilion is not only a brave man, but also a cadre, and a righteous man!" Shall I take the wealth of the righteous in vain? ”

As he spoke, he was going to stuff the deed into Hefu's hand again.

Heifu was also a little annoyed, and wanted to push him away, but he was afraid that he would hurt the sick seedling, so he simply took the left half of the deed, walked to the side to watch the lively restaurant owner, and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, borrow a fire!" ”

Then, in the astonished gaze of the shopkeeper, in the astonishment of the shopkeeper, and in full view of the bazaar, Heifu took up a piece of wood from the stove of the restaurant and lit the wooden deed in his hand......

Seeing that the red yellow flame slowly climbed up the deed, the tongue of fire devoured the black handwriting on it, and he was in a hurry: "Pavilion Chief Heifu, what are you doing here?" ”

This is an IOU of 4,000 yuan, just burn it? This Heifu Pavilion Chief, don't care at all?

But Hefu laughed, and he held the burning deed aloft so that it could not be reached by the disease, and when it was all on fire, almost burning to his fingers, he threw it to the ground.

I rushed to the rescue, but it was too late, the surface of the deed was almost turned into black charcoal, and the handwriting could not be seen clearly, and it was ruined.

"Go to the disease, from now on, you and I don't owe each other! Farewell! ”

With that, Heifu bowed his hand to the crowd and walked away!

He could only stare blankly at the charred Zuo Qi, and after half a ring, he bowed down in the direction of Heifu's distance!

"Heifu Pavilion is gracious, go and never forget it in this life!"

At this time, not only the diners around the restaurant, but also half of the people in the market were attracted to the place, pointing at the kneeling chief and talking about it......

"Housheng, what happened to Fang Cai?" Someone asked curiously.

He picked up the burned Zuo Qi and carefully stuffed it into his arms, then got up, dusted off the dust on his body, and said loudly to the people around him: "Good to teach the second and third sons to know, just now, Huyang Pavilion Chief Heifu, he did a righteous deed!" ”

……

What happened in the market always spread quickly, and at the end of the evening market (17 o'clock - 19 o'clock), along with the people who rushed to the market to return home, the righteous deeds of the head of the Huyang Pavilion Heifu have spread throughout half of Anlu County.

Heifu, a few months ago, had a small reputation in Anlu County for capturing three thieves and grabbing blades empty-handed. Now, just when the people in the county are almost forgetting the deeds of that "warrior", he has a new identity and a new story in front of everyone!

Everyone is saying that he entered the city alone, and the twenty legal questions were all right, shocking the official temple!

He went to work bare-chested, saw a small knowledge from an anonymous letter, followed the vine, and discovered a big case!

He led the crowd to run at night, and next to the dark and terrifying tomb, he seized a group of tomb robbers who were committing crimes!

He waited for the rabbit, braved the cold wind and waited, and waited for the prison gate where he was guarding and stealing, and went out for Anlu County.

Now, he has used the reward money he received to help the public servant who reported anonymously but was punished to get sick and pay off the fine......

"What a generous and righteous pavilion chief!"

Anyone who heard about Hef's deeds, whether they knew him or not, all gave a thumbs up and praised him

In the world of the Warring States, the most advocating righteous men and righteous deeds. Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, as Meng Ke said, "Life, also what I want; Righteousness is also what I want. You can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives to take righteousness ......"

Not only did Confucianism advocate righteousness so much, but even the non-Confucian state of Qin was deeply influenced by this trend. Those who are willing to die for righteousness, their fame can be praised for a long time, this is the fashion of the times.

So, from this day on, the name of Heifu has left an indelible impression in the minds of the people of Anlu County......

After nightfall, Heifu's reputation for "generosity and righteousness" spread to the ears of several officials in Anlu County......
