After seeing the end of the wonton, Ranran pulled up her sleeves and wiped her mouth. Wei Lang was shocked and speechless. Is this Princess Tangshuo of the Southern Wei Dynasty
"I'm full, why don't you eat? If you don't eat, I will eat."
"Uh... you can eat." It looked like she was starving. She had not eaten anything after working all day.
She had wontons in her mouth and slurred her words: "Hmm... um..."
"Hmm what?" He looked along her fingers.
"What the hell!" Wei Lang stood up in shock, "Why is Anmuda here?"
"I... I told you, outside the inn that day... I did read it right."
"Don't be impatient. Maybe they are people with similar looks. After all, the world of Jambu we live in is no different from our original world. It is normal to have similar people."
"Anmuda!" Ran Ran called her.
The woman turned a deaf ear.
"Hey, are they really just people who look alike?" Ran Ran was surprised.
"Go." She pushed Wei Lang.
Wei Lang's steps were fast. He followed up a few steps and said, "Three times and four times."
The woman ignored him and hurriedly walked.
Ran Ran stepped forward and said, "What's the secret code for you two?"
He nodded, "If she is really Anmuda, she will definitely recognize me when I say this."
"What's going on around here?"
"It's a long story."
"Long story short."
"Anmuda and I learned Southern Wei dialect together when we were young. She was always reluctant to learn it. Later, the high priest used her favorite melon to coax her. She liked eating melon very much, but eating too much would give her a sore throat, so the high priest She is not allowed to eat more on weekdays."
"So in order to make her take the initiative to learn, the high priest gave her melons to eat?"
"That's right, but then one day the melon season was almost over, and the prairie people didn't know how to preserve melons, so there were less and less edible melons. If she had studied the Southern Wei dialect attentively, she would have gotten two in the morning. As for melons, you can also get two melons in the afternoon, but the melons are getting less and less, and then the high priest said that you can only have one melon in the morning and two in the afternoon.”
"Anmuda agreed?"
"Of course not. It's not like you don't know her temperament. She promised well and suddenly regretted it, and she naturally started to make trouble."
"What happened next?"
"She cried a lot, so the high priest asked someone to comfort her. The youngest son of the warrior Moheduo said to Anmuda, eat two in the morning and one in the afternoon. Anmuda thought that he could eat two in the morning. Melon agreed to the high priest’s request with great satisfaction.”
"Ah, really?"
"Yes, actually there is one in the morning, two in the afternoon, and there is no difference between two in the morning and one in the afternoon, just the order is reversed. But she was not smart when she was a child, she was always coaxed around, and when she understood, she stamped her feet in anger. It's really..." He smiled and shook his head, his face full of endearment.
"I understand why it's all day and night. Your story is very similar to the story people in the Southern Wei Dynasty told about feeding monkeys to eat hazelnuts." Ran Ran suddenly realized.
He reached out and gave Ran Ran a high-five, "You understand, right?"
"Hmm, did it come from the Southern Wei dialect you learned later that Anmuda realized that he was the little monkey being tricked?"
"It's absolutely true. After we both understood it, I always teased her about it. Whenever she did something wrong or I talked about it, she would be so angry that she wanted to hit me, but unfortunately she couldn't do it even once. My martial arts skills are not as good as mine, and my skills are not as clever as mine."
"So that's it. It seems like she's not Anmuda. If she heard you teasing her again, she would have come over and beat you up."
"I think so. How could Anmuda ignore me? Even if she forgets everyone, she will never forget me..."
Halfway through, Ran Ran and him looked at each other.
"Forgot us?" Ran Ran patted the back of his hand hard, "Didn't you just say that entering this world of Jambu, a person's identity will change, and that it is also possible that memory will be confused?"
"this… "
Ran Ran ran quickly, "Hurry up and follow her, or you won't find her in a while."
"Really, one wave after another, Ji Liyou's matter has not been settled yet, why did she come in to join in the fun? If it is really her, I must let her know what it means to almost die!"
"Stop nagging, hurry up!" Ran Ran called back to him.
"Hey, sir, you haven't paid yet!"
Wei Lang didn't even look back, and threw back three taels of silver, which landed firmly on the stool they were sitting on just now.
The neighbor got up and saw that the door of Liu's house was not open and there was no sound.
Feeling uneasy, he shouted: "Guan Liu, Guan Liu."
No one inside agreed. When the neighbor went in, he didn't close the door, and Liu Guanren didn't answer.
When they got inside, they saw Liu Guanren lying dead on the ground.
"His wife went to her parents' house two days ago. How come she is nowhere to be seen?" Neighbors were talking among themselves.
But someone suddenly thought of what his wife said last night.
The neighbor Zhu Lao'er said: "Last night at dusk, Mrs. Liu came to my house to rest and said that Mr. Liu was going to sell her. She wanted to go to her parents' house first to tell her. She asked me to tell Mr. Liu if he wanted to sell her. , but you can go to her parents’ home to find out.”
Everyone said that if they go to find his wife, they will know what this murderous incident is about.
"That's right!"
The neighbor called the official again and said to the incoming yamen officer, "It's just that the door of Liu's house was ajar this morning. When I pushed the general in, I saw Mr. Liu being killed on the ground. He had won twenty taels from me three days ago." There was not a penny left, and his wife was nowhere to be found.
Wei Lang and Ran Ran hurriedly followed An Muda, taking three steps at a time, and finally caught up with her, slowly following behind her.
Anmuda walked for a mile or two, but his feet were so sore that he couldn't walk anymore, so he sat on the side of the road to rest.
Ran Ran whispered to Wei Lang, "Should we go and see if she is An Muda now?"
"hold on."
"What's wrong?"
"If we make a mistake, it will be embarrassing for you and me."
"That's right. When I look at her, she doesn't look much like Anmuda anymore. She only looks similar in face. You see, her height doesn't look like her at all. How could Anmuda be so short?" Ran Ran replied to him.
I saw a young man with a square scarf on his head, wearing the clothes of the sixth school, carrying a book box on his back, wearing silk shoes and socks, and walked up to the girl.
He came in front of her and took a look. Although she was not very colorful, her eyebrows were bright and her eyes were condensed, which was very lively.
The student put down his arms and bowed deeply: "Girl, you are alone and unaccompanied. Where are you going?"
She stood up and returned the blessing and said, "My little girl is going to her parents' house, which is Feng Qingtang. Because she can't walk, she rests here."
He asked again: "Where did my brother come from? Where are you going?"
"The villain sold the silk tent in the city and got some money, so he is going to Feng Qingtang. If the girl doesn't mind, I can stay with you so that I can take care of you."
The girl shook her head and said, "It's really inappropriate to walk together."
The student persuaded her for a long time before the girl was willing to stay with him.
Ranran observed secretly, "She must not be Anmuda."
Wei Lang smiled and said, "How dare you assert that?"
"You know her better than I do. You are so naughty and don't look like her at all."
The two men were walking in front, walking together.
Ran Ran and Wei Lang followed secretly behind.
"We are acting like thieves, what do you think?"
Wei Lang sighed, "But if Anmuda really comes in, it will be bad if we don't take her with us and she is trapped here."
"Then it's better to follow her and check the situation first."
After walking less than two or three miles across the fields, the two people in front were sweating and out of breath, and their clothes were open.
Wei Lang suddenly grabbed Jimo Ran and hid in the forest.
"What are you doing?!" Ran Ran was startled.
He sighed, "Look quickly."
Several farmers followed her and shouted: "Girl in front, walk slowly! I'll have something to say later."
Both of them stood still when they heard it.
Several farmers from behind rushed forward and saw the girl and the young man. They couldn't argue with each other. They pulled each other apart and said, "You have done a good job! Where are you going?"
The girl was startled. When she raised her eyes, she saw that they were two neighbors.
She said: "Azhi learned last night that my husband sold me for no reason. I will go and tell my parents. Can't I even have a chance to see my parents?"
The neighbor said: "I don't care about other people's business. It's just that there is murder in your family. You have to go back and deal with it."
Ah Zhi said: "My husband sold me, and the money was at home yesterday. What's the murder?"
The neighbor said: "If you don't go, it won't look good if a few of me are here and call for the officers and soldiers to arrest you. Don't bother us and make this place unclean."
Seeing that his words were meaningless, the scholar stood in front of A Zhi and said to everyone: "Now that I have said that, I will accompany this girl for a walk, and you don't have to come up to grab her hand. How is that polite?"
Several people laughed and said, "You walked with her and you have nothing to do with this matter."
Before the scholar could figure out what was going on, he was pulled forward by someone and tripped on the ground, making several people laugh. Such a soft scholar.
"I met this girl on the road and walked with her by chance. What reason is there to capture us both?"
One person said: "There is a murder in his family, let you go, who will you file a lawsuit with!"
Not allowing Azhi and the young man to make the decision, they dragged them to the government together.
Everyone said: "If you don't do anything wrong during the day, don't be surprised if someone knocks on the door in the middle of the night. It doesn't matter if you just go!"
The neighbor who rushed over said, "If you don't go, you are guilty."
When we arrived at the Yamen, it was quite a scene! When Ah Zhi went to see her, she saw her husband lying dead on the ground, and the twenty taels of silver on the bed were missing.
When the servant saw the master's body, he cried and said to Azhi: "How dare you kill your husband, steal twenty taels of silver and escape? Today's justice is clear, what's the point?"
Ah Zhi didn't understand that he had been tricked, and said: "I have twenty taels of silver. He sold me and got twenty taels of silver. Here, I hold it in his hand. I don't know what he wants in exchange for it." I told him to go and tell his parents first, so I went out while he was sleeping. But when I left, I didn’t know why he was killed?"
Everyone said: "Mrs. Liu's words don't make any sense."
Then he said to the younger generation: "How did you secretly conspire with the Liu family's wife to murder Liu Guanren? And secretly agreed to wait in a secluded place and elope together?"
The man said: "The villain and the girl have never known each other before. We just got to know each other today. The villain went to the city last night and sold some money in a book box. He met the girl on the road and heard her say that her feet hurt. He was worried and proposed to talk to her. We are traveling together, we are innocent, I can swear to God."
No one was willing to listen to what he had to say. After searching for his book, they found exactly twenty taels of silver, not a penny more, not a penny less.
Several people said: "It's the sky net that is so vast that it doesn't leak out. You and she killed people, kidnapped money, and wanted to elope to another country."
The Lord Fu Si said, "You must not have done this thing as a woman. There must be an adulterer helping you to make money and kill you. But tell the truth, did this man do it with you?"
A Zhi was about to say something when several neighbors knelt down and said: "The young people saw that Madam Liu's wife was leaving with that young man, but they refused to come back. The young people reluctantly caught him and brought them back." "
After hearing what they said, the governor called the young man up and said: "How can you be allowed to behave like this under the emperor's chariot? How did you kill Liu Guanren? Where are you going with her today? Call me from the truth!"
The young man shook his head and said, "I bumped into her by chance on the road this morning. I don't know her name, and I didn't murder anyone with her."
The governor was furious and shouted: "Nonsense! I don't believe there is such a coincidence in the world! His family lost twenty taels of silver, but the silk you sold happened to be twenty taels of silver. Since you and this woman have no head or tail, How can I stay with her? She is so cowardly, how can she be recruited without fighting?"
Because he is a member of the Sixth School, he does not have to kneel before the government, and he is not allowed to be lynched if he is involved in a lawsuit. Your Excellency decided to execute this woman.
He immediately ordered people to torture A Zhi to death.
After hearing this, the scholar felt angry and said, "If you insist on punishing me, please let Mrs. Liu go. I will take the punishment for her."
"You also said that you two had no personal relationship. If there was no personal relationship, why did you suffer the punishment on her behalf?"
The scholar said, "The villain does not have an affair with her, but this board is too heavy. If it hits the girl, her bones will be broken within three blows. How will she live in the future?"
Ah Zhi said, "I don't need his help, and I don't know this person. I just happened to meet him on the road, and we walked together for a while without knowing him."
The master of the government wanted to use torture to make them suffer, but he had to give in and said that he was motivated by money, killed Liu Guanren, robbed the money, and the adulterer and the couple escaped together.
But he didn't expect that this weak scholar had strong bones. He was beaten ten times, his face was covered with cold sweat, and he just refused to admit it.
Ranran was anxious outside the door, "The mute eats Coptis chinensis. If there is suffering, how can we save Anmuda now?"
Wei Lang said nothing and watched all this quietly.
She whispered, "This dog officer, obviously they are just strangers who met on the way, but he has to drag them together and wants to hastily close the case, break the prison sentence at will, and use punishment as he pleases. There is no fairness and justice."
"She is Anmuda." Wei Lang said.
Ran Ran was puzzled, "Ah, how do you know?"
"When Anmuda is extremely angry, she will always curl up her fingers unintentionally, especially the little finger will tremble slightly, and the thumb of her left hand will rub the palm of her hand. This is a precursor to her anger."
"Really?"
After saying this, the situation in the government office was completely different.
