Wind District
Once upon a time, during the reign of King Le Thanh Tong, there was a great thief in Thang Long citadel. He was determined to take from anyone, no matter what, there will be results. He used to make the mandarins and the rich lose sleep and eat.
Many times the mandarins of Phu-Doan let him catch him, but he appeared like a god and could not be caught. Because his deeds are as fast as the wind, he can be found anywhere, so it is called the Wind District.
One day near Tet, the king dressed up as a poor student to walk outside the capital to look at the people. By chance, the king came knocking on the door of the Wind District. The king pretended to be troubled and said:
– I was teaching in Dong Xuan ward. When the New Year ended, I came back to my hometown with some money, but unfortunately, it was stolen by thieves.
The Wind District, seeing that the guest said this, replied:
– I will help you a little bit to make money for sugar.
The king saw his house crumbling and broken, and asked:
– My grandfather’s family doesn’t seem to be rich, how can he help me.
– It’s no secret that my grandfather was originally from the Wind District, heard that he had bad luck, I am very sorry, so I will try to arrange something for you tonight.
After that, the wine invited the guests to drink and added:
– I only take from the rich to help the poor, but I must take from the unrighteous, but like honest business people, I never touch. Now try to see if there is a rich, wicked, dishonest family, let me know, I will help you. There’s nothing wrong with taking them from them.
The king thought for a moment and said:
– There is Mr. Ba Van’s house in the east of the city, he has a big, rich shop.
Wind District replied:
– That house lends a class of capital for the year, seven classes of interest, get it. But we keep raising it and we’ll get it later.
King of words:
– What do I see near your house, with deep fields of buffaloes and sows, a house with tiled walls, how do you watch out?
Illustration.
– Can not! That house was bare-bones in business. It wasn’t morning when he got up to go to the field. Only when the sun went down did he come back to blow rice, so diligent, he shouldn’t take it. Stop! There is a mandarin who looks after the other warehouse or eats away from the public. I’m going to go get it today.
– Really?
– I have checked carefully. He took a little from the public every day, brought it back to his hometown to buy a garden with hundreds of acres.
The king was curious to see the talent of the Wind District, so he followed, the Wind District hesitated but later agreed, and said:
– Before taking it, I will show you enough evidence that it is unjust, but you must keep it very quiet.
Then he told the teacher to put on a neat suit and then they both left in the dead of night. Arriving at the warehouse, the Wind District told the king to wait in the bush, then cut the hedge to find a way to open the door to the house. Then he led the king into the chamber, opened the chest, took out five pieces of silver, showed it to the king, and said:
– “This is the silver he just stole from the warehouse to keep for his own use. Well, take it back to your hometown to celebrate Tet, don’t hang around so they can catch it. I’ll find a way to make him not know it’s night. Now there’s a thief.”
The king saw the words “platinum king” on each piece of silver, believed the Wind County’s words were true and secretly praised him for his talent. The king always went back to the palace, hiding the silver under his feet. The next morning was the Lunar New Year, hundreds of mandarins came in to wish the king a long life. The king called the store owner to ask:
Was your house stolen last night?
Seeing that he did not answer, the king immediately sent a messenger to the city to retrieve five pieces of silver. The king showed it to him, he stiffened his tongue and could not answer, so he bowed his head to confess.
The Wind District was then summoned to the palace by the king and given the title of “stealing a gentleman” and rewarded very well.
Magical betel nut
Once upon a time, there was an ordinary student named Ho Sinh. His personal property is not lacking, but day and night, he only wants a little bit of fame. Therefore, when he heard that there was a shortage of poetry in the district, he quickly sold the field and tried to take care of it. After a few unsuccessful runs, he suddenly remembered an old classmate whose relative was familiar with Mr. Thuong, so he came to ask for help.
When Ho Sinh’s friend heard his expression, he quickly said:
– There is a saying: “The inside child has tears in their eyes, the outside child wants to come in”. Why don’t you keep the field to plow and do business, rather than having to submit to buy some care for people to suffer?
But after a few times of persuasion, still seeing that your face is so determined, I introduced him to another friend of mine, and said:
– My acquaintances have no power. Having known a Taoist on Ba Vi mountain, he knew a lot of high-ranking people, maybe even more than Thuong. He has a way of making you famous. Let me write a few words, he will do his best to help you for me.
Ho Sinh took your letter to find his way up Ba Vi mountain. He inquired and inquired, and eventually came to a cave filled with a large stone slab. As instructed, he cried out:
– Is this a Taoist cave? If yes, please open the door for me to meet.
Suddenly the stone turned and opened a way for him to enter. Inside is very quiet but bright. He walked more than ten steps and saw the Taoist lying on a cot, chewing betel nut, eyes closed, resting.
Illustration.
Next to it was another cot with only two pieces of betel nut on it. Although there were guests, the Taoist priest did not sit up, just reaching for the letter to read, still chewing betel nut. For a moment, glaring at the visitor’s face, said:
– I will make you an official. Now do you want to be big or small, how?
The student replied:
– I also had little education, just wanted to be a poet, but I was satisfied.
– Okay! Sit back and rest, eat a piece of betel nut, we’ll take care of it.
Ho Sinh crept over to sit on the bed, took a piece of betel nut from the rice and ate it. The betel nut is very delicious. But as soon as he chewed it, he fell asleep.
After returning home a few days, suddenly one day a soldier brought a warrant to claim. He was so scared, he thought something was wrong. But when he entered Thuong’s palace, he was warmly welcomed.
They saved him not as a poet in the district, but as an interpreter at the Bo manor house in his home province. The work is not difficult and expensive because having the “inside” of the Taoist makes him very happy. So from that day on, Ho Sinh went in and out of the public hall every day, daring, grumbling, and stooped in front of the mandarins.
When he first took office, he also felt humiliated, but every time he stood in front of the general and the people who had business to come to the gate, he thought it was a glory. At first he hesitated to refuse even the greetings of those with jobs to take care of, but gradually he became bolder and wiser.
Not only was he adept at squeezing, but he also learned many strange money-making tricks by creating unexpected cases that resulted in both the plaintiff and the defendant with poor money leading each other to the street to bribe him and his wife. his superiors.
So, for a few years, his money was in chaos, he built a house to buy fields and lived a more luxurious life than before. He was given a daughter by a rich man in the county. Ten years later, his wife gave birth to two boys and two girls and was promoted to a minor official. A makeup king, life goes up like a kite, no one can keep up.
But one day, while Ho Sinh was sitting for his wife to comb her hair, suddenly a soldier came with a warrant to claim. He did not suspect anything. But when he arrived at the Upper Palace, he was immediately imprisoned.
A special envoy in disguise to investigate has found a lot of evidence about the bribery cases of the provincial officials, all of which are related to him. Then, while waiting for the trial, the people who were slandered in the past all rushed to the magistrate to sue him. High lawsuit against husband.
The day of his trial was a larger day than the guild. He was sentenced to death without waiting to return to the court because the mandarin had the right to “pay the price later”. Before going to the execution ground to accept me, he recalled the old story and repented that if he hadn’t gone to the Taoist cave to ask him to run around, he wouldn’t have gotten to this point.
Ho Sinh suddenly woke up because of a very loud noise. When he opened his eyes, it turned out that he was still lying on the second bed of the Taoist house, his foot hit the betel nut and rolled down the stone with a bang, the remaining piece of betel nut rolled in the middle of the road. As for the Taoist monk, who was still chewing betel nut, his eyes were closed, he suddenly sat up and asked him:
– Now we will talk a little bit. You will take my letter to Mr. Thuong…
But at this time, Ho Sinh no longer had the courage to consider his identity. He quickly released the betel nut he was holding in his mouth and said goodbye.
From then on, he became an avid businessman on his land. come ask for help to become a person of high status. Seeing her refusal, the pastor tried to force her. “If I do what I ask, then give me what I want.” “Agree”. She then told the servant girl’s family to catch the wild chicken and pluck its feathers.
The pastor suddenly fell asleep and in his dream achieved his wish to take the place of the recently deceased pope. But when the witch came to ask for her son, he did not agree. “My son to be Cardinal.” Suddenly, I woke up to find that I was still a pastor and the chicken was still undercooked.
The Story of Why Cats Hate Rats
Once upon a time, the Rat was a sacred breed in Heaven. The Jade Emperor entrusted him with the key to Heaven’s granary. But the Rat is an unreliable species, received the key, Rat came to open the warehouse, invited each other to eat all the rice.
Ngoc Hoang knew, was very angry, so he didn’t let the Rat stay in Heaven anymore, but chased it down to the lower world to keep the key to the world’s grain. With that disability, the Rats entangled themselves in the barn of the people, and ate and were full day after day. So much so that someone lamented, saying:
– Where was the old mouse?
Now eat my rice like this?
Sorry, he cried to the King of Kitchen. The Kitchen King immediately brought it up to return the Jade Emperor and said:
– This rat originally belonged to the Heavenly Court, why did the Heavenly Court release it to the lower world?
Ngoc Hoang says:
Illustration.
– Right. Before it was up here holding the key to the barn for me. But because it eats so much of my rice, I don’t let it stay up here anymore. I chased him down to the underworld so he could keep the rice down there.
Kitchen King says:
– It goes down there and eats people’s rice. Tam Ngoc Hoang, Ngoc Hoang’s rice is many, people’s rice is few. Of the Jade Emperor, he can’t eat all of it, but if he eats it all the time, one day it will all run out. People starve to death. So ask the Jade Emperor to let it go to Heaven again.
Ngoc Hoang listened and said:
– Can not. I sent it far away, I can’t let it back up here anymore.
Thinking for a moment, Ngoc Hoang said again:
I have a Cat, you bring it down to the earth, so that when the Rat eats your rice, let the Cat out and let it growl to catch the Mouse. And when it doesn’t want to catch the Mouse, you just tell the Cat to cry out a few times, scaring the Mouse to go somewhere else.
The Kitchen King bowed, then hugged both the Mouse and the Cat back to the earth.
Happy in Heaven, now I have to go down to the world to catch Rats and Cats. He thought that it was because of King Bei that he had to come down to the earth, so he set out to seek revenge on King Bei by occasionally waiting for King Bei to be away from home, then go to the middle of the kitchen ashes to defecate and then rake the ashes over.
Being angry with the King of Kitchen is that, but Cat also does not forget the task entrusted by the Jade Emperor, so that his granary is always protected, avoiding the Rats sneaking in to eat and disturb.
