Zhao Tong is a native of Nanping County, Yanping Prefecture, and his family has accumulated savings for generations, and he has accumulated a lot of money and grain, and he was sent to the township to urge the work of collecting money and grain. There is a man named Lin Qianyi in their township, who is witty, does not engage in production labor, and drinks and squanders every day. Later, the family business was depressed and there was no place to live, so he had to flee to other places. Zhao Tong didn't know that this person had gone.
One day, Zhao Tong and his servants were going to Hangzhou**, passing through Pucheng, resting in a pavilion, seeing Lin Qianyi, Zhao Tong scolded him: You slave, you have been running away for so many years, your family does not pay taxes, and I am compensated, what is going on?Meet me and see how you explain.
As soon as Lin Qian was scolded, he was unwilling, so he came up with a plan, stepped forward and said with a smile to Zhao Tong: Every time I want to go home, I want to give the tax to you, but my family owes too much money to others, and it is difficult to compensate, so I dare not go back. Now fortunately, I met you, the chief, as if I saw the heavens and the earth, how dare you refuse?And in the past few years, they have relied on the shade of the adults.
I opened a shop in Matou, Xiguan, my family is a little more comfortable, I recently went to the township Xu's concubine to be my wife, I was bullied and insulted, I was alone, I live outside, and there is nothing I can do. Now that I was fortunate enough to meet the governor, I met the principal. Captain, you go to Hangzhou, pass by this gate, go to my house and rest for a while, I will return the tax and silver that should be paid now, please help me make the decision.
Zhao Tong listened to Lin Qianyi's words, and was very happy, thinking: Coming here today, it can be used as a travel fee to Hangzhou, and it is really a trip to attract wealth. So he went with Lin Qian and went to a store. Lin Qianyi said: The lieutenant got up early this morning, walked on the road for a long time, and was hungry, so he went to the store to get some wine and moisten his mouth, how about it?Zhao Tong promised: Yes.
So the two entered the store, and Lin Qianyi asked the shopkeeper to heat up the wine and cut the tofu to eat together. So I asked the shopkeeper, is there any good red wine pork here?The shopkeeper said, "There are some in front of the market, and there is wine and meat." Lin Qianyi said: Borrow your pot and use it. The shopkeeper took out the pot scale, Lin Qianyi took it, looked at the store in front of him, turned around, and quietly hid.
Zhao Tong and the servant were eating, and a pot of wine was almost finished, Zhao Tong said to the servant: Lin Qian has been gone for so long and has not come back, is he fighting with others?Otherwise, you should come back at this time, you go and see.
The servant immediately went to the wine and butcher shop to inquire, and the store said that he had not seen Lin Qianyi, and the servant was going to look for him, but he didn't know that he was going to **, so he could only take out the silver and settle the wine money. The shopkeeper asked for the pot, and Zhao Tong said: I ate the wine, and I can pay the bill. The pot said that you gave Lin Qianyi, what does it have to do with me. The shopkeeper said: People came with you, you drink in my shop, I will lend him the pot weighing, otherwise I know what Lin Qianyi.
Speaking of which, the two people quarreled fiercely, and everyone came to persuade them to ask about the origin of the matter, only to know that the people in the village deceived the chief to the store, and also deceived the shopkeeper's pot name. Everyone laughed, since Zhao Tong made a mistake by himself, then the compensation will be counted. Zhao Tong had no choice but to compensate on his behalf, and left angrily.
