In the early years, the marriage of men and women was arranged by the parents of both men and women, and men did not know what their daughters-in-law looked like before they married. There was a guy named Sixi, and when her daughter-in-law got married, the more she looked at it, the less pleasing it was. Not many days later, he secretly packed his luggage and stomped his feet through Kanto. Without even telling his daughter-in-law, it was three years in a flash. After three years, he was thinking of going home, so he found the tattered luggage, wrapped the gold he had worked hard to save for several years, and returned to customs.

When Sixi arrived at Zhuangxi Town God's Temple, it was already dark, and he thought to himself, Hmph, I would put the bedding behind the Town God first, and go back to have a look. If my daughter-in-law remarries, I will stay at home if she is not at home; if she is at home, she will go to the old mother's house of Nandian, and go home empty-handed after thinking about it. He went into the patio and saw that the lights were still on, so he crept out the window and eavesdropped under the window. There seemed to be someone talking in the room. Six thoughts: The lights are on in the middle of the night, and there are people talking. I must divorce this woman. Thinking of this, he took three steps and two steps to the door, and knocked on the door with his hand raised.

The woman in the room asked, "Who is it?"

"Me, open the door!

"Who are you?"

Open the door and you'll know!"

The woman opened the door and looked. Isn't that her husband?

The man's nose became sore when he entered the house, and he replied, "Hey, since you left, I rented out the few acres of land that we couldn't grow, and I planted what I could, and saved it in the village after I bought it. I didn't move at all, waiting for you to come back and have a good life. I usually rely on spinning thread to make a living, and I can't spare time during the day. When do you not spin at night, you have been gone for three years. Where have you been?"

When Sixi heard that, she thought to herself: It turns out that this daughter-in-law is dead set on living with me. This is hard to stop, so you might as well try again. So she said: "I broke into Kanto in the past three years, but I didn't earn a penny, so I came back empty-handed."

The daughter-in-law said, "Hey, what can't be earned, it's better for you to come back as a living person than anything else. There is nothing missing in this family, and you just have to wait for a good life when you come back. You have traveled so far, you must be hungry, I will go to the small shop to get some wine, drink two cups to drive away the fatigue." Saying that, the daughter-in-law took the wine bottle and went to the wine shop in the village to get wine.

As soon as the daughter-in-law arrived at the cabinet and said to drink, the shopkeeper suspected in her heart: her man has been gone for three years, and he has never seen her drink during the holidays? Why did he come to drink in the middle of the night, give him and her wine, and watch her leave. The more the shopkeeper thought about it, the more strange he felt, so he secretly went to her house and eavesdropped under the window.

Sixi drank a few sips of wine and said to his wife, "You think I've earned nothing in the past three years in Guandong? Let me tell you, I worked hard and earned a bag."

The daughter-in-law asked, "What bag did you earn? I just saw you come back empty-handed."

"Hey, can I put the bag on me? I put it behind the city god in the temple. No one knows, after eating it to you to see, that itis all gold."

The shopkeeper outside overheard this and raised his legs to the Temple of the City God.

Besides, when the young couple had enough to eat and drink, they went to the City God's Temple, and when Sixi saw that the bedding was gone. He was immediately dumbfounded, and when he came back to taste, he suddenly cried according to the statue: "My three years of wages and my three years of blood and sweat are gone, gone…

The daughter-in-law laughed: "You didn't earn it, you didn't earn it, and I didn't dislike you, don't coax me."

"You think I'm coaxing you?" Sixi sat on the ground, "Really, I was reluctant to spend money when I broke into Kanto, I saved a lot of gold, wrapped it in the bed, and put it behind the City God, really!"

The daughter-in-law looked at her husband, not pretending to be stupid, so she said, "Really?"

"Really, why don't I take you to the City God's Temple in the middle of the night?"

"Really, you don't have to do this. I didn't expect your gold to be real at all. Now that no one knows, I'll go to the county seat with you to find the county magistrate. What do you think?"

"This is the only way."

The young couple went home and took the donkey and walked towards the county seat. On the way, Sixi led the donkey and let her daughter-in-law ride on the donkey. The daughter-in-law couldn't bear it and didn't go far, so she had to let Sixi ride. You pushed me, and the two made out to the county seat.

Arriving at the county yamen, the young couple knelt down and shouted, "Help!"

Besides, the previous county official had already left office, and the new county official was a twelve-year-old child. He had just taken office for two days, and was sitting in the hall looking through the earlier case files. When he heard someone shouting "help," the small county official ordered someone to bring him into the hall and asked, "Why did both of you shout for help?" What grievances do you have?

Sixi heard the county official's question in a childish voice, like a child, looked up, and sure enough, secretly called out bad luck.

Seeing that the small county official did not answer, he shouted sharply: "This county asked you, why didn't you answer? Speak quickly!"

Sixi had no choice but to tell the truth. The small county official nodded and asked the daughter-in-law, "What's the matter with you?"

He is my man, and what he says is what I say. The eldest master must decide for Xiaomin.

The county official said, "This official has just taken office for two days, and there is such a headless lawsuit. Today, the master can't go, and tomorrow is the day when the master takes office for three days. There are some things to deal with the day after tomorrow. After three days, you will wait for me at Zhuangxi City God Temple.

The couple went back in disbelief.

Three days later, the small county official arranged for the messenger and sat on the palanquin and went straight to the village. The twelve-year-old doll was the county official, and the messenger really didn't care about it. He deliberately bumped the palanquin left and right, careful not to get angry. Twelve miles out of the county seat, the small county official saw that there was a parting yard in front of him, and many people were parting with the palanquin, so he ordered the messenger to stop the palanquin and asked, "What are the people in front of you doing?"

The police officer replied, "Go back to the master, the person in front is taking off the billet."

"What is the billet?"

"The brick is… It is used to live the mud well, use the mold to make adobe bricks, and then use the softwall to build the house after drying."

"Oh, Master, this is the first time I've heard of it, and the first time I've seen it. Hurry up and bring me ten yuan and put it in the bottom of the sedan chair, so that I can watch it."

The palanquin man grinned, "My mother!"

The police officer did not dare to disobey, so he moved ten pieces of billet from more than ten catties and put them in the bottom of the car. The small county official ordered us to hurry and be sure to arrive at the village within two hours.

Arriving at the Town God Temple, he sent people to stop the palanquin, and his whole body was about the same as sieve chaff, thinking to himself: People are not big, really amazing!

The small county official got out of the palanquin and went straight to the temple. He saw that the statue of the City God was in the middle, and there were many other statues, all of which were used by people to worship the gods.

At that time, the Zhuang family had never seen anyone go to the countryside to handle a case, and they also heard that it was a county official. It was not uncommon for adults and children to rush to the Temple of the City God together.

The small county official asked someone to carry the city god to the table, and he sat behind the table. After he briefly introduced the case, he said loudly, "The package was placed behind the city god, and it was stolen by someone. City god, you are really a city god in vain, and you were careless for a while, and let the villain steal the package. Who am I not going to judge you today? Just tell me the villain honestly, otherwise, I will degrade you to a ghost soldier and whip you!" Saying that, the small county official walked to the side of the city god and put his ear to the mouth of the city god who was covering his head. Well, well, he muttered softly, "Tell me right away, if you say it, you will be exempted from punishment. Um, it's him? Oh, it's really him! Um, got it!"

After the small county official returned to the desk, he said sternly, "Lord City God has told me that I already know who delivered the package. I won't tell you who stole the goods, but now I will give you a chance to correct your mistakes. You are limited to handing over all the things within two hours, and this official will never punish you. Otherwise, the whole family will be sent to prison! "

The store owner who stole the goods could see clearly in the crowd and hear clearly. He thought to himself, although no one saw it when he stole the goods, God was in front of him.

The small county official shouted: "Limit one hour, everyone disperse!"

The more he thought about it on the way, the more afraid he became, the more he thought about it. When he got home, he quickly picked up the package and turned himself in. The small county official asked the owner to check, and the lost gold was not a little less. Because of what he said in advance, the small county official did not punish the store. The owner was satisfied with the small county official's judgment, and the store was grateful and needed to be convinced. Everyone praised the small county official: "A small person is resourceful, and the case is solved like water."
