Chapter 745
"I think you, the stall owner, are obviously cheating." Chen Yi couldn't help but speak. "Your puzzle is fifteen days, not fifteen days. How can fifteen days represent the middle of the month? Fifteen days can only be half a month."
Just now, they were talking about the greedy and greedy person. After Chen Yi said this, they felt that Chen Yi’s analysis was very reasonable. They just heard the shopkeeper say that fifteen is the month and a half, so they ignored the word day. Fifteen days are calculated based on the number of days, but not based on the day to what day, so naturally they cannot represent the middle of the month. Fifteen days are exactly half a month, so the word fat is more accurate.
The stall owner stubbornly said, "I'm not cheating. The answer to my puzzle is swollen. Don't swear."
Some onlookers heard him say this and said, "Stand owner, then you are wrong in the answer to this riddle, and the word fat is more accurate."
"That's right, the answer to this riddle should be fat."
"The swollen word is too far-fetched, and the fat word is more accurate."
Many people echoed.
The stall owner blushed and sweat broke out on his forehead. He thought he could fool him, but he didn't expect that the people who followed the young man were so smart.
Suddenly, he saw the captain's nephew who was patrolling the street with the constable and immediately waved to his nephew.
"Big River, big river..."
Zheng Dajiang, who was patrolling the street, heard his uncle's voice and looked around. He saw a hand waving on a stall with many lanterns hanging around many people.
Zheng Dajiang remembered that his uncle said in the morning that he wanted to set up a stall to guess riddles on this street and let him and his brothers in the yamen take care of him for a while. He also seemed a little anxious when his uncle called him, so he took his brothers over.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way..." Zheng Dajiang shouted impatiently at the people surrounding the stall.
The onlookers frowned and gave way, and Zheng Dajiang took a few brothers to the front of the stall from that road.
Seeing that his uncle's face was not good, Zheng Dajiang seriously glanced around the people in front of the stall, looked at his uncle and asked, "What happened to my uncle?"
Chen Ming raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything. He wanted to see what they wanted to do.
The stall owner looked at his nephew and pointed at Chen Ming and said, "Dajiang! This person is making trouble. He is obviously the one who missed the riddle wrong, but he said that his uncle's riddle was wrong, and what he guessed was right. He also said that his uncle was cheating and causing trouble here, and he refused to leave, so that his uncle could not do business."
The head captain glanced at Chen Ming up and down. Seeing that his clothes were not luxurious, he looked down and didn't look like a noble person, so he raised his hand, made a gesture, and said to the brother behind him very domineeringly: "Take this troublemaker back to the yamen."
The constables behind Zheng Dajiang listened to him very much. Two tall and strong constables walked out from behind Zheng Dajiang and walked towards Chen Ming.
Chen Ming frowned and said, "You are going to take someone in no way?"
When Zheng Dajiang saw that he dared to say that he was indiscriminate, he said angrily: "You make trouble, I take others, how can you not be indiscriminate? The superiors have already issued a notice. Today is the Lantern Festival. If someone dares to make trouble in the street, he will take it directly and keep it in prison for two months before talking about it."
Because there are many people in the Lantern Festival, it is easy to get into trouble. In order to restrain the people from causing trouble, the yamen issued a notice as early as possible. If someone causes trouble in the Lantern Festival, he will take it down and throw it into prison for two months.
