During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a learned and humorous geek named Chen Erlang in Hubei.

Because he is upright, evil, and dares to act, the dignitaries do not like him, despite his knowledge, but also in the imperial examinations repeatedly frustrated.

But ordinary people liked him very much and affectionately called him "Erlang."

One autumn, farmer Wang came to Chen Erlang and complained that he had rented five acres of rice fields from Zhao Hu. Zhao Hu had to feed him shit because he couldn't afford the rent due to his poor age.

He asked Chen Erlang to find a way to save him and the villagers.

"Is there such a thing?" Chen Erlang was taken aback.

"Erlang, I didn't lie to you." Boss Wang said in fear, "He Gouer, Feng Zhugen, and Qiu Lazi have been fed shit by Zhao Hu's servants because they can't pay the rent. Moreover… If this year's rent is not handed over by the end of the year, not only will the leased land be repossessed, but they will also feed shit and demolish the house."

"That old bastard!" Chen Erlang laughed funny when he heard that, and asked Boss Wang to quietly invite the teacher who was called "Yao Siwen."

Boss Wang doesn't understand what the use of inviting a weak teacher is?

But it was inconvenient to ask for more, so he just invited someone to go.

The next day, Yao Siwen invited Zhao Hu to his house for a drink, saying that he had invited several local celebrities and wanted to hear their opinions on his teaching over the past two years.

Because the Zhao family is a local Wang family, and there are several children studying in his private school, it is natural to invite him first. I wonder if he is willing to pay the honor to go to his house to drink a glass of light wine.

When he heard that the people attending the banquet were all local celebrities, Zhao Hu thought to himself, if he didn't go, wouldn't he be ranked outside of "celebrities"?

So he smiled hurriedly and said, "Sir, I want to hear the school's opinion. This is a major local matter. No matter how busy I am, I have to go!"

When it was almost time for lunch, several people had already arrived at Yao Siwen's house. At first glance, Zhao Hu was a well-respected figure such as a land guard and a squire, and there were exactly eight of them, including him and Yao Siwen.

At this time, the dishes had been served, and he thought he was going to walk to the table with deep pockets, but Yao Siwen said to the guests, "Everyone, please wait a moment, there is still a distinguished guest who has not arrived."

"Who?"  Tiger Zhao asked.

"Chen Erlang," Yao Siwen said with a rueful smile, "his house is far away from me, so you can sit for a while. Come, have some tea..."

After filling Zhao Tiger's bowl with boiling water, Yao Siwen anxiously looked around the threshing ground.

Everyone felt that they should to wait. Chen Erlang is also a figure with a face!

Seeing everyone so flattering Chen Erlang, Zhao Hu couldn't be happier.

Who knew that after waiting a long time, they had not seen Chen Erlang's shadow, and everyone was already hungry. Zhao Hu was a person who was not hungry. As he paced back and forth in the corridor, he smelled a tempting aroma in the basket hanging on the porch, so he tiptoed to look.

Ah!

It turned out that there were cooked spiced beans in the basket.

He was a glutton who ate spiced beans. His family prepared them for him all year round.

"Mr. Chen is here!" At this moment, with Yao Siwen's shout, Chen Erlang came, and everyone rushed to greet him.

"Ah, not good!"

Who knew that when Yao Siwen saw Zhao Tiger eating spiced beans, he couldn't help but be shocked: "Mom There's going to be a murder case!"

Yao Siwen pointed at Zhao Hu, who was chewing spiced beans, and collapsed on the ground in fright.

"Oh my god! I used the spiced beans in that basket to poison mice, and they were mixed with arsenic. In order to prevent the children from reaching them, I specially hung them high on the porch to dry. I never expected Master Zhao to eat the poisoned rat beans by mistake..."

After saying that, she burst into tears…

When Yao Siwen cried, Zhao Hu's face was as pale as the ground, and he immediately vomited hard, but he couldn't vomit out.

"How is this good, how is this good..." Everyone panicked, but no one could come up with a way. If they went to invite Lang Zhong, I was afraid that Lang Zhong would not be saved before he invited someone.

"Erlang, please!" Suddenly, Yao Siwen knelt in front of Chen Erlang and said, "You are well-informed and knowledgeable, so think of saving Master Zhao! Otherwise, my family will not survive."

"But I'm not a Langzhong!" Chen Erlang also said anxiously, "However, I have seen in medical books that if you want to make Master Zhao spit out the'spiced rat beans' in his stomach, you must take the antidote emetic. Mr. Yao, do you have this medicine at home?"

"Erlang, where did my family get this antidote?"

"Alas," Chen Erlang was so anxious that he turned around and sighed,, "In the past, I did make an antidote for people, but now I can try it with one. I'm afraid that the smell of this medicine is bad. Master Zhao won't take it!"

As soon as he heard that there was an antidote available, Tiger Zhao, who was sweating profusely and didn't vomit anything, hurriedly said, "In order to survive, I will take it no matter how bad the smell is.

I know that there are a few herbs growing on the hillside behind his house, so I will go and prepare them. "Following that, Chen Erlang told Mr. Yao and the others not to disturb him. He was afraid that he would be distracted by the wrong medicine.

After saying that, he went to the back of the Yao family's house.

After a while, Chen Erlang came over with a bowl of earth antidote. When he walked to Zhao Hu, he said loudly, "Quick! Pinch your nose, close your eyes, open your mouth, and swallow it in one go!"

At this time, Zhao Hu dared not obey orders, and swallowed the antidote in the bowl as soon as the skin of his mouth touched the mouth of the bowl.

Sure enough, as soon as he swallowed the antidote, he heard a "wow" sound, and the things in Zhao Hu's stomach spat out over the river, and he still vomited until the things in his stomach were finished. Even the yellow water vomited out, and his face was full of tears…

"Mr. Chen, thank you, thank you for saving me. ."

"No need to thank you," Chen Erlang said with a smile, "it should be. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seventh level budur. I am also doing good deeds to accumulate virtue."

"Yes, yes..."   Tiger Zhao frowned and said, "Mr. Chen, it's just that why is the antidote you made so powerful and so smelly?"

Chen Erlang sighed and said, "I'm so sorry, don't blame me! How can I make up an antidote? You only need to look at what you vomit to understand that except for the undigested spiced beans, the rest is the shit scooped out of the pit! In order to save you, I can't do it either."

"Wow -"   When he heard that the "earth antidote" Chen Erlang had given him was feces, Tiger Zhao vomited again. This time, even his intestines were about to vomit .

Was Tiger Zhao really poisoned?

It turned out that when Chen Erlang heard that Zhao Hu fed his tenants shit, he scolded you for being a turtle son in his heart, and I would make you cry.

He suddenly remembered a saying in the village: "Monkey King's Opium Tiger's Bean."

This meant that the two people named Wang Monkey and Zhao Tiger couldn't live without opium and spiced beans, so he asked Boss Wang to secretly invite Yao Siwen, saying that he wanted to treat Zhao Tiger and vent his anger on He Gouer and the others.

Although Yao Siwen was a civilized person, he also hated Tiger Zhao, so he asked how to treat him.

Chen Erlang said, "As long as this is the case..."

Immediately after returning home, Yao Siwen cooked a bowl of spiced beans with the best broad beans, and deliberately hung them in the conspicuous corridor.

The next day, Chen Erlang was already hiding in a forest not far from the Yao family. When he saw Zhao Hu arrive at the Yao family, he deliberately delayed the banquet and waited for Zhao Hu to "smell the fragrance and eat beans."

Sure enough, when he saw Yao Siwen's code for "building a pergola" standing by the threshing field, he knew that the "fish" had been hooked, and then walked towards the Yao family, and then the scene in front appeared.

In fact, the "Spiced Poison Rat Bean" was not mixed with arsenic, it was just to scare Zhao Tiger.

Then, why did Zhao Hu say that his stomach hurts again, and he is afraid that he will not survive?

This is also why he rubbed his stomach so hard that he wanted to make the things in his belly spit out and rub the pain himself.

Soon, there were rumors in the village that Zhao Tiger fed his tenants shit, but he was poisoned and ate shit himself. This is a natural law that does not deserve retribution.

But Zhao Hu would never have imagined that this rumor was also secretly spread by Chen Erlang's fortune teller…
