Chapter 3: The county order Wei Chang'an
Wei Rui, who had just arrived, was not familiar with the terrain of Minglang County at that time, and by mistake became friends with the storyteller who opened at the door of the inn.
When she was fine, she liked to stand at the door of the inn and talk to the storyteller and ask him about the county order.
This storyteller is a capable person, who knows astronomy and geography, and he is even more backwards for the county chronicles of Minglang County, and he knows everything about the county order Wei Chang'an, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he lives under Wei Chang'an's bed.
But this gentleman has a shortcoming, that is, he is very greedy for money, if you want to know Wei Changan's emotional condition, you can, take money.
Wei Rui had to nibble on cold steamed buns for several days in order to get information, and then he got the money together, and then moved the target to the tofu shop a few steps away.
Mr. Storyteller said that there was a childhood sweetheart girl in Wei County, called Liu Qing'er, known as Minglang Tofu Xi Shi, and the people who chased her lined up from the county to outside the county.
But this Liu Qing'er only has Wei County Ling in her heart, and the two were originally in love, wishful thinking, and only a marriage letter is needed to become a good couple. It's just that Liu Qing'er's father, Liu Yan, doesn't agree to this marriage, he was originally a kind old man, and the children liked him, but I don't know why in this matter, he just bit it to death and didn't let go. Both inside and outside the county felt that he had refused strangely, but this old man would not let go.
Once Liu Yan saw Wei Changan and this Liu Qing'er meeting in private, he was so angry that he stood on the street and made a fuss, threatening to say that there was me without him, he without me, and put an end to the interaction between the two children.
This incident suddenly caused a stir in the city, and the county magistrate couldn't hold it on his face, but he couldn't do anything about his sweetheart's father, so he had to temporarily put his mind away and start a career.
In addition, in those days, the frontier was unstable, and he had to assist the frontier king in handling a lot of things, so this matter was put on hold.
But Liu Yan refused to give up, he was afraid that the two children would still have contact in private, so he eagerly and frantically began to blind date his daughter.
Liu Qing'er is good-looking, and there is a tofu workshop at home, and the men who are not on the road suddenly lined up in a long line, which has become a beautiful scenery in the county.
It's a pity that Liu Qing'er was unhappy and cried all day long.
Listening to what the storyteller said, Wei Rui was puzzled. It stands to reason that Wei Chang'an is a county order, and in this border town beyond the reach of the whip, he can be regarded as the overlord of a place, and there is no shortage of power or money. I also heard that Wei Chang'an is also handsome, quite capable as an official, honest and upright, and the king of the frontier is very important.
So in the face of such a golden beetle son-in-law, the owner of the tofu shop was unwilling, there must be some reason for this.
With this idea in mind, Wei Rui began to get close to Liu Qing'er.
But speaking of which, sometimes people are lucky, and no one can stop them.
That day, when she was thinking about how to get close to Liu Qing'er, she met someone who came to the tofu shop to make trouble.
It turned out that the man bought the tofu and went back to find a maggot crawling out of the tofu, which made the man disgusted, and came to the girl to find trouble with the evidence.
The girl had been in a bad mood for the past few days, and she had become melancholy and haggard to the naked eye.
However, the big man did not give up, and the girl said that he was not happy to return the money, and he had to kneel down and apologize, and he had to send him a piece of tofu every day in the future.
Now, the girl naturally disagreed, and even the good-natured father with him didn't want to, and now the big man who bought tofu didn't agree, and he was going to the county government to make trouble when he went out.
Liu Yan refused Wei Chang'an, so he was particularly taboo to go to the Yamen, after all, Wei Changan didn't say anything, and his subordinates could see the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
Wei Rui was small, squeezing around and squeezing to the front, she looked at the piece of tofu that was cut in half, half of the tofu and half of the corpse of worms, and looked very disgusting.
However, the incision on the plane made her feel very suspicious, it stands to reason that there are insects in the tofu, and half of the insects crawl from the inside of the tofu to the outside, this kind of insect has a small head and a large body, and the bigger it is, so the incision at the outside hole should be smaller than the incision at the body.
However, from the cutting surface, it is obvious that the incision in the middle of the tofu is smaller than the incision in the hole outside, which makes it feel more like a worm crawling in from the outside.
However, if you want bugs to crawl into the tofu, it stands to reason that the surface of the tofu should not be so intact and not destroyed at all.
Seeing that Liu Qing'er was about to cry urgently, her father couldn't explain it clearly, and was about to make trouble at the yamen, Wei Rui suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute! ”
She stood in front of Tofu, dressed as a tomboy, with a somewhat unfamiliar face, and people were stunned by her roar, seeing that she was nothing special, the big man shouted: "What? Want to stand out for tofu Shih Tzu? Give money if you want! ”
Wei Rui shook his head: "It's not that I'm out of the blue, it's just a pity for you for your eldest brother." ”
The big man looked confused, and only said after a while: "It's a pity? What a pity? ”
Wei Rui's eyes widened and said, "It's a pity that you killed this worm!" I'm afraid you don't know, this worm is actually a god worm, if you don't kill it, maybe it can be sold for a good price! ”
"Divine worms?" The big man smiled contemptuously, "I'm afraid you're poor and confused, but ordinary maggots, how can they be divine insects?" Tell me where this worm god is? ”
Wei Rui pinched her chin and pondered for a while and said: "This worm, the magic is magical, it makes holes in the tofu and hits it very regularly, it stands to reason that the tofu is so big, although it is round, it is not completely regular and round, and you look at the incision is not completely round?" Isn't that magical? It's as if the insect has turned itself into a small hollow dry bamboo and stabbed straight into it. ”
Having said this, the big man's face was already very ugly, and Wei Rui said: "Besides, generally speaking, this worm is born from the tofu, and it should be crawled out, but the entrance of your cave seems to be crawling into the worm." Not to mention that the things around the entrance of the cave are slightly closed, the incision in the middle is smaller than the entrance of the cave, but it doesn't mean that this insect crawls inside the tofu from the outside. ”
The big man's mouth moved for a long time before he suddenly said: "That's their worms crawling into the tofu, in short, there are worms in my tofu!" ”
"Of course, this evidence is here, there must be worms in the tofu, but no one can say whether this worm is afraid to enter the tofu shop. It stands to reason that this kind of business is paid with one hand and delivered with the other, if the insects crawl into it at that time, the hole is so big, why can't you see it, big brother? ”
"yes, how could you not see it?" Liu Qing'er blushed angrily, but her words were soft, "You are used to being picky, every time you come to buy tofu, you have to look at it for a while, which of the tofu on this case is not something you have seen before, and now it is said that I have crawled into worms here, so why didn't you find it at that time?" ”
The people around him also echoed: "That is, you often buy tofu here to delay time, and we avoid you when we see you back, which time did you not use the time of two people to buy one person's share!" ”
When the big man saw that the people who had just seen the excitement had become his enemies, he panicked and retreated slightly, as if he was looking for a chance to slip away.
