215. County magistrate and police commissioner(1/2)

Cao Jindong also recognized him. He opened his mouth and wanted to call out his name, but he choked back the words.

Emperor Wei didn't notice this scene. His attention was attracted by Wei Liujin's dress.

Wei Liujin's head was wrapped in a piece of coarse cloth, and he was wearing a tattered coarse cotton-padded coat. The outside of the cotton-padded coat was woven with a shell-like material made of dry reed poles. His trousers were rolled up to his knees, revealing a pair of black thighs covered with calluses.

foot.

Someone noticed that Emperor Wei was looking at his clothes, and sneered: "You came to see the governor wearing beggar's clothes. This can punish you for being disrespectful! Look at the clothes you are wearing, are they made of straw?

"

"Shut up!" Wei Tianzi turned around and glared at him.

"The clothes are made of reed poles. They are specially designed to block sea water to prevent sea water from splashing on the clothes and making it difficult to dry in the sun!"

"My grandpa always wears this when the weather gets cold!"

The man was startled and quickly retreated into the crowd.

The old man next to him smiled apologetically and said, "So that's it. It's really an eye-opener. How can I dress when it's warm that day?"

Wei Liujin said: "It's warm and I don't need to wear clothes!"

Emperor Wei seemed to have something on his mind.

He took two deep breaths and asked: "Are you—are you six pounds?"

Wei Liujin said: "Yes, I am Wei Liujin, Tie Gai, no, Governor Wei, we haven't seen each other for twenty years, don't you recognize me? Haha, look at this kid next to me, you

I can’t even recognize who he is!”

Emperor Wei asked: "Who is he? Is he your son? What is his name?"

"It's called Tietou!" Wei Liujin shouted, "You have forgotten that his mother ran away with this child when he was born. It's hard for me to take care of him. He has no milk to feed and I'm afraid he will die. Your grandfather

Just like raising you, if you want to support him, you have to give him a strong name."

"Your name is Tiegai, so I named him Tietou!"

"It's similar to the one you raised when you were a child. I went around asking people to borrow goat's milk or dog's milk. I used whatever milk was available. If there was no milk, I stewed fish. I chewed up the fish and stuffed it with him. In the end, he was confused and fed it to him.

Feeding is big!"

Wei Tianzi was a little moved.

He sighed and asked: "It's quite tragic, so what are you doing here this time? Just now my soldiers came up and said that you are here to get a coffin? What's going on?"

Wei Liujin followed Yun Song's instructions and said, "It's like this. Your grandfather died the year you were captured as a young man, so I presided over the construction of a thin coffin for your grandfather and buried him."

"The one I used at that time was made from my poplar tree. The poplar tree was originally saved when I replaced my father's coffin - as you know, the coffins we use there are all thin-skinned, and they will not last for thirty years underground.

Get a new one."

"I was thinking that I had nothing left to live for, and I was afraid that I would have to see my father in a few years. So in the past two years, I wanted to change a coffin for my father before I died, so that he could rest securely underground.

Thirty years."

"The reason why I have to change my father's coffin these two days is because I had a dream about my father a few days ago, and this dream was very strange. I dreamed that it was raining and I was in a hurry, and then my father took me in.

Go into a room to take shelter from the rain."

"It turned out that the house was leaking badly, so I worked hard with my father, using basins and buckets to catch the rainwater. I was so busy every night, but I was exhausted!"

"Later, this Taoist priest came to our Luofeng Island to give alms, so I asked him to interpret my dream. He told me that my father's abode was damaged and the coffin needed to be replaced!"

"But as you know, we are in a remote and remote place. There was a severe drought in the past few years, and all the trees planted in the village died, and the ones planted later did not grow."

"This way I don't have money to buy a coffin. I used the wood from my family to make a coffin for your grandfather. Now that you are rich, you can't use the thin-skinned coffin when you move your grandfather's grave, right? The thin-skinned coffin has been replaced.

You’re down, right?”

"So I want to take this coffin back for my father!"

Wei Tianzi asked: "Is this why you came?"

Wei Liujin nodded solemnly: "What else? Otherwise, do you think I came to seek refuge with you to ask for money and a high position? I tell you, Tiegai, don't look down on people, we can't do such a thing

come out!"

"If we could do it, we wouldn't wait until today," Wei Tietou said bravely, "Now we have nothing to do, Uncle Tiegai, my grandfather has never enjoyed happiness in his life, we can't let him suffer underground

, right?”

Emperor Angwei was greatly touched by these words.

Wasn't his grandfather like this?

But he felt embarrassed: "You are right, I replaced the coffin when I moved my grandfather's grave. The thin-skinned coffin had already been thrown away!"

Wei Liujin was shocked: "You are so miserable..."

"Bold!" Cao Jindong snapped, clasping the pistol on his waist.

Wei Liujin was so frightened that he quickly shrank his head: "Yes, I'm sorry, Governor Wei, I just said nonsense, you took my words as shit."

Emperor Wei waved his hand and asked Cao Jindong to retreat. He sighed and said: "What governor, governor? You don't know my past? Liujin, you should call me Tiegai. No one has called me this name for many years."

!”

The dozen or so wealthy country gentlemen behind him were shocked when they heard this.

They looked at Wei Liujin and his son with envy: Your road has become wider!

Emperor Wei looked at the two of them, exhausted and haggard, with some pity in his heart: "How did you get here?"

Wei Liujin showed his common-people cunningness. He pretended to be stupid and said: "I came from Luofeng Island. Oh my, walking all the way is really tiring!"

Wei Tianzi said: "You haven't had dinner yet?"

Wei Liujin laughed and said: "How can we have the habit of eating dinner? If we go to bed early at night, we won't be hungry!"

Emperor Wei felt even more sad.

It is true that Luofeng Island does not have the custom of eating three meals a day. They always eat one meal in the morning and go out to sea to fish. They eat whatever they catch at noon, and go to bed early in the evening without eating.

He waved his hand and said: "I am hosting a banquet here tonight. You follow my adjutant to clean up and let him change you into new clothes..."

Wei Liujin got the signal and said quickly: "No, no, we really don't want to come to you to gain glory. These clothes are pretty good."

When Wei Tietou realized that the situation was not dangerous, he was no longer so afraid. He said carefully: "Clothes are enough to protect you from cold or heat. You don't need to wear good clothes. We came all the way, and many people were not as well-dressed as us."

Where are you two?"

When Emperor Wei heard this, he laughed and said, "Okay, then go wash your hands and faces, and then we'll have a dinner party!"

He turned back to Cao Jindong and said: "Tell the kitchen to add a stewed chicken, a stewed elbow and a roasted suckling pig tonight! I want to treat these two relatives to a good meal!"

Cao Jindong saluted and said, "Yes!"

Yun Song winked at Wei Tietou.

Wei Tietou quickly lifted the baggage on his back and tucked it back.

It looked like he was trying to hide his baggage, but now everyone was staring at him, so he made the baggage more visible.

Cao Jindong asked warily: "What's in your baggage?"

Wei Liujin said with a smile: "Yes, it's wakame, kelp, seaweed, asparagus, etc. They are all dried at home. I thought that I couldn't come to Governor Wei to ask for something empty-handed this time.

?But I really don’t have anything at home, so I can only pack some sea vegetables that I dried.”

He added anxiously: "But I remember that Governor Wei used to like to eat this. During the Chinese New Year, he was happy to eat fried dried seaweed. Governor Wei's grandfather also liked this bite. He would add old wine to the stir-fried dried seaweed and use chopsticks to dry it.

Can I get a bottle of wine?"

Wei Tianzi laughed when he heard this.

He looked nostalgic and said, "Yes, I loved eating fried dried seaweed at that time. It tastes much better when stir-fried than raw."

"It's been a long time since I've had it. Okay, I'll add another dish tonight, stir-fried dried seaweed!"

Wei Liujin said: "I'll fry this in the pot. When it comes to stir-frying dried sea vegetables, the men on Luofeng Island are the experts!"

Wei Tianzi nodded.

So Wei Liujin and his son followed an adjutant and left happily.

At this time, Wei Tianzi looked at Yunsong, frowning and showing doubts: "What kind of Taoist priest are you? You are young, so you are not a bluff, right?"

Yun Song said calmly: "Fu is born in the Supreme God, and the poor Taoist deeds in his life are worthy of others and his heart!"

Cao Jindong leaned into Wei Tianzi's ear and whispered a few words.

Wei Tianzi's eyes lit up: "Oh, it turns out that he is really a worldly master with great cultivation. Okay, let's have a dinner together tonight, and let's drink and talk!"

Yun Song bowed his head and saluted: "Thank you very much, Lord Governor, for your kindness, but I am a monk and cannot drink alcohol."

Cao Jindong said: "Taoist Master doesn't drink ordinary wine, he only drinks tonic wine!"

Wei Tianzi laughed loudly: "So that's it? That's just right. A friend of mine went to Guyue to recruit troops and brought me an elephant whip. I brewed a barrel of good wine with the elephant whip. I asked the Taoist Master to taste it tonight!"

Yun Song's scalp suddenly became numb.
