Chapter 51 Two Knives
The Luoyang City Prefectural Office is located on the center line of the south city, with well-connected and convenient transportation.
As soon as Ye Que entered the prefect's office, he could see a large group of ordinary people coming out from Thirty-six Floors. Looking down from high altitude, it was like black lines, and the center point where the gathering was also the prefect's office.
Since the founding of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there have been clear provisions in the law that all cases must be transparent and all trial sites must be open to the public for supervision.
When Song Gongming, the governor of Luoyang, was preparing to make a case, the outside of the lobby had three floors inside and three floors inside and three floors inside, surrounded by people. If you look closely, you can clearly find that most of the rudders of Tianmen were in it.
"Who is in the hall and why are you here?" Song Gongming knocked on the auspicious tree and asked in a deep voice.
"Where Ye Que comes for a transaction dispute." Ye Que said loudly.
"Selling dispute? Please tell me the specific reasons." Song Gongming looked at the crowds outside the hall, and actually felt a little worried. If it was a shocking case, or a lawsuit against a noble man, it would be difficult to deal with it in front of so many people. But when he heard it was a transaction dispute, he would be determined in his heart. No matter how big the transaction dispute is, it would be a matter of money.
"This is the thing. I recently bought a batch of swords and swords in the weapons market and wanted to ship them to the Western Regions for sale. The sword is a black iron sword produced by Juejian Villa, 130 taels per knife, and the sword is a geese-like sword produced by Juejian Villa, 111 taels per knife. I will pay the money and deliver it with the goods in one hand, and I will not be responsible for it afterwards."
Ye Que continued to speak slowly, "But when he got home, he accidentally discovered that these swords were defective. They looked similar to ordinary swords and were no different, but when they were used, they were like tofu."
As he said that, Ye Que took out two knives from behind and pointed to his left, "This is the Yanling Knife from Juejian Villa."
He pointed to the right hand again, "This is my kitchen knife for cutting vegetables."
"I can demonstrate to the adults what quality this knife is, whether it is a fine or a defective product." Ye Que took a step back, "Adults can have someone check it first."
The whole story was very clear, and the cause and dispute were not complicated. Song Gongming waved his hand, and a yamen runner stepped forward to pick up the two knives and checked them carefully, then nodded to Song Gongming.
Without saying nonsense, Ye Que took a step forward, raised the two knives, first showed it to Song Gongming, then turned around and gave all the civilians present a look.
Then, he raised his head with two swords and cut them together.
"Dou!"
A harsh golden sound!
"Bang!"
Half of the goose feather knife fell to the ground in response.
Song Gongming in the lobby, the yamen runners on both sides of the lobby, and the people watching outside the lobby were stunned when they saw this scene. A kitchen knife and a brand new goose-ling knife were chopped against each other. The kitchen knife was intact, and the goose-ling knife was cut into two sections.
"Sir, this knife was produced by Luoyang Juejian Villa. Since the transaction is made of money and goods, I can claim to be unlucky. But I hope that I will investigate strictly that such inferior weapons must not be spread from Luoyang or from our prosperous Tang Dynasty. If it is found out that it is indeed a problem with the quality of weapons, then Juejian Villa owes our weapons merchants an apology!"
At the end of the conversation, Ye Que waved his hand behind him. Chu Dongnan immediately walked to the lobby with a large box, and still kept the box in the lobby with a bang. "These are one hundred weapons from Juejian Villa I bought. One was damaged by me at home, and the other was damaged in the demonstration just now. There were ninety-eight swords left. Please accept the evidence."
"Is this knife made of flesh? Everything is broken?"
"Meat? I think it's not as good as paper, it's too bad."
"I saw it. Remember the mark on the hilt of the knife. That means Juejian Villa. You must not buy his things in the future. No, I have to tell my uncle to go there. His family will open an escort agency. If you use this knife, it will be deadly. I'm afraid even if you think about it."
"Fortunately, it wasn't sold to the army, otherwise the two armies would face each other, with this knife, our soldiers would die several times more."
"It's a sin!"
The onlookers, with just a word and a word, quickly said Juejian Villa to be bullshit. As for Song Gongming in the lobby, although he vaguely felt that the lawsuit was a bit strange, but there were too many people watching, and Ye Que, who complained, did not make too much demand.
Ye Que didn't seek money or life, but he just asked for an explanation and handed over the physical evidence to the yamen on the spot. In Song Gongming's opinion, we can end this today. The truth of the matter will be investigated slowly afterwards. It is still not good to gather so many people in the yamen of the yamen.
People gather quickly and disperse faster. In a short while, people will leave the yamen in the silence.
But even though the person left, the matter would not end there.
You know, this is Luoyang, the capital of the gods. There are countless vendors, horse teams, minstrels, juggling teams, and foreign missions coming and going from here every day.
Similarly, a message spreads here at an amazing speed.
Before dark, the swords of Juejian Villa were spread throughout Luoyang City like toasts.
"Have you heard that? Today, in the prefect's office, someone sued Juejian Villa for a knife."
"How could I not have heard of it? The kitchen knife cut off the Yanling knife with one knife."
"In this world, it's not honest to be a knife."
"The world is getting worse."
From the wine shop to the brothel, from the teahouse to the theater, from the streets and alleys to the deep courtyards, the news spreads from ten to ten, and when it was dark, I didn’t know how many people had heard.
The original kitchen knife cut off the geese feather knife, which was gradually fabricated into countless versions. Some even say that the swords of Juejian Villa are made of wood and paper, and they just look scary and cannot withstand it.
People's words are terrifying!
I’m afraid of rumors in everything!
Because, after listening to something, everyone will think through the brain. When they say it, they will add their own judgment and modification, and they will get further and further away from the truth.
"Brother Ye, how do you have this brain? It's so amazing!" Qian Shuxiao sat in the teahouse, listening to others' discussions, with an excited look on his face.
Ye Que smiled, "I would suggest that you use a sword to solve things that can be solved with a sword. If you cannot solve things with a sword, you must learn to use your brain. There is nothing difficult in the world, you are afraid of those who are determined, and no matter how strong the dam is, you are afraid of people thinking about it."
After listening to Ye Que’s preaching, Qian Shuxiao picked up a cup of tea, "Use tea instead of wine, and toast the master!"
After celebrating the tea, Qian Shuxiao made a pretentious work and even clicked his mouth, "I like to kill someone by borrowing a knife!"
It was just that night.
It is said that Juejian Villa in the suburbs of Luoyang City is brightly lit all night.
The owner of the manor Lin Shan got a fire all night and even smashed a porcelain bottle of his beloved.
No wonder he got angry. For two days, six meals, almost 90% of his disciples didn’t have enough food. This morning, there were eighteen madmen in the village. Not only did the goods expected to be delivered were not delivered, but they also shouted everywhere that he had seen ghosts and disturbed people’s hearts. Someone just reported that news came from Luoyang City that there was a problem with the quality of his weapons and that his sword was not as good as paper!
"Bad!"
"Your paper can cut people!"
"It's total nonsense!"
