Liu Yichun, the magistrate of Chenzhou County, got a pearl that glowed at night. Orbs that glow at night are often called luminous pearls, and they grow longer than the thousand-year-old turtle cover. The thousand-year-old turtle is already a rarity, and the pearl inside its cover can be described as a rare treasure.
According to the bead presenter, the first person to obtain the bead was a fisherman. Chenzhou is surrounded by water, and the fishermen live in a small village east of the lake. One afternoon, a fisherman went to the lake to catch fish and suddenly saw a turtle sunbathing on the beach. The old turtle loves the sun, so it's great to bask in the sun on a deserted beach. The turtle was as big as a bamboo basket and its cover was black. The fisherman was shocked at first. He did not expect that it was a big old turtle. When he saw that it was a turtle, he immediately realized that he had met an old turtle spirit. He was a little scared at first, but then he thought it was fate that he had met her. So he stepped forward carefully and quietly attacked from behind. It could also be that the turtle was running out of energy and hurriedly crawled into the water when it realized someone was attacking it, but it was too late. It was also the fisherman who suddenly jumped onto the turtle cover and struck at the old turtle's front paw with his knife. People are impatient and cruel. In just a few moments, the fisherman chopped off the four claws of the turtle spirit and captured the old turtle.
At first, the fisherman didn't know what treasures the turtle had, so he only used the turtle cover as a bed for the children to sleep in. Unexpectedly, one night, the fisherman came out to relieve himself and found a beam of light in the room. After tracing the source carefully, I found that it was coming from the bone eye on the old turtle's cover. The fisherman hurriedly took out a hammer and chisel, carefully chipped the turtle shell into pieces, and a luminous pearl rolled down into the turtle bed. Suddenly, Pengpi was radiant.
Liu Zhixian got this orb from a rich man. The rich man's only son committed a capital crime and gave the night-bright pearl to Liu Yichun to save his son. The rich man first went to the Yameni and told the story of the fisherman who got the pearl to the magistrate, and then took out the luminous pearl and gave it to Magistrate Liu. Although Liu Zhixian was not sure whether the story about the fisherman getting the pearl was true or false, the luminous pearl in his hand was absolutely real. Liu Yichun couldn't put it down, and finally thought of a good plan to save the life of the rich man's son.
The rich man’s son committed murder. The evidence is conclusive and there is no doubt about it. In order to get the treasure, Liu Yichun decided to save the rich man's only son. After thinking about it, he said to the rich man: "If you can buy a fake murderer with money and let him surrender himself and say that he killed someone, I can change the sentence to a wrongful conviction." , let your son go!" So the rich man spent money to find a very poor man and asked him to surrender to the county government. Liu Yichun made three moves, five divided by two, and first let go of the rich man's son, and then killed the poor man in exchange for the orb.
On the sixth day after Liu Yichun got the orb, he personally gave it to Master Daotai. Liu Yichun respectfully told Master Daotai the story of the fisherman who got the pearl, and then presented the night-light pearl. Master Daotai seemed to like him very much, and kept saying: "Good pearls, good pearls!" Then he said to Liu Yichun: "The governor of Ruzhou is over sixty years old, you must be prepared to take over!" Liu Yichun was very happy, I was very excited to return to Chenzhou. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, a masked thief suddenly broke into the bedroom, lifted him up, and viciously demanded the orb from him! Liu Zhixian looked at the flash of the sword, trembled all over, and stammered: "Strong man... I gave the orb to Master Daotai..." When the strong man heard this, he was furious, tore off his mask, and said to the magistrate: "Look who I am?"
Liu Zhixian looked up and was stunned. It turns out that the masked man is the rich man's son!
"Do you know who the man I killed is?" the rich man's son said, "He is the fisherman, the owner of the pearl!" The rich man's son let the magistrate go, sat down and said: " My favorite thing in life is searching for rare things. When I learned that a fisherman had a luminous pearl, I bought it at a high price, but he wouldn’t sell it! I had no choice but to kill him. Today, I still want to buy the pearl back at a high price and beg you to sell it to me. ! Because I have died for it, I am even more eager to get it!"
Liu Yichun said anxiously: "I really gave it to Master Daotai!"
"Do I believe it?" The rich man's son sneered and said, "How can you give away such a precious treasure so easily?"
"You don't understand!" Liu Yichun argued, "You love collecting, you can regard rare things and treasures as your life! But I love being an official, no matter how good the treasure is, in my eyes it is not as good as a black hat!"
"Then you only have it tonight A dead end!" the rich man's son said viciously.
"I finally rescued you, please don't break the law again!" Liu Yichun said, "Isn't it just a pearl? I owe it to you first, and I will pay you back after a while. That’s it!”
“Where are you going to get it after a while?” The rich man’s son asked in confusion.
"Let me tell you, the black gauze hat is truly an inexhaustible treasure! When I become a prefect or a Taoist priest, I can help you get any rare treasures!"< /p>
The rich man’s son glanced at Liu Yichun doubtfully.
"Don't believe it, I will give the orb to Master Daotai?" Liu Yichun said, "If you don't believe it again, I can issue an IOU!"
The rich man's son looked at Liu Yichun in confusion again, then took out the paper and ink and asked Liu Yichun to write the IOU.
To save his life, Liu Yichun immediately wrote an IOU to the rich man's son.
The rich man's son looked at the note and said, "If this is true, let me know when you run out of office and need money!"
Soon, Liu Yichun really became the prefect. After Liu Yichun became the prefect, he successively obtained several rare things for the rich man's son.
At that time, the rich man was dead and the rich man's son was in charge of the family. He gave Liu Yichun a lot of money and asked him to move forward and get promoted. A few years later, Liu Yichun became a Beijing official. The rich man's son was very happy and was looking forward to getting more treasures. Unexpectedly, late one night, he was suddenly taken into prison and said that he was being retried on an old case. The rich man's son knew that he had been deceived by Liu Yichun, so he exposed Liu Yichun to the new county magistrate. The new magistrate of Chenzhou smiled and then told the story of "The Fisherman Gets the Pearl". After finishing speaking, he said to the rich man's son: "This is what my mentor Mr. Liu told me! He said, you also know!"
The rich man's son looked at the new magistrate, smiled dejectedly, and said : "Master Liu only knows one thing, but not the other. In fact, my father told him the story of the fisherman getting the pearl! My father is the fisherman. Over the years, he sold the pearls during the day, and I took the pearls back at night. After repeating this, we finally became rich. That time we were sent to jail because we failed to snatch the pearl and accidentally killed the pearl buyer, so we told lies to Liu Yichun..."
Xinzhi County seemed to know what the rich man's son was going to say, so he hurriedly waved his hand, and the rich man's son was pulled out by the executioner.
