I, the ghost hunter, chase my wife thousands of miles away! [Rebirth]

A blessing in disguise, Duan Rufeng admitted their feelings.

Shao Zhengbai also put an end to his worries, and took the little devil on the road happily.They still rushed to Lincang Country, which is the easternmost part of the Bachuan Continent, living by the sea, where the essence of heaven and earth is the most abundant, and it is the best place for ghosts and demons to practice tear pills.

They walked from west to east, and they would stay in every town and village for at least half a day, and then leave after making sure that there was no smell of ghosts and demons.Of course, in addition to ghosts and monsters, people will always encounter many strange people and strange things on the way.For example, that day, they were eating in a small restaurant, but they were interrupted by a man at the next table:

"You two, don't eat it, this wine is not clean."

Shao Mobai, who was peeling peanuts, was taken aback for a moment, looked at the man, and then at the wine bowl.

"Why did Xiongtai say this?"

The man was thin, with a delicate face. He was dressed in a light gray cloth robe with a few bamboo leaves embroidered on the belt. It was made of leather, and he was dressed like a not-so-rich scholar.But the elegance of a scholar is revealed in his gestures, and it is very comfortable to watch.

His two black eyebrows were stuck upside down, and he looked very angry.Turning around, she moved to Shao Mobai's table, and said:

"This wine is mixed with water, so I can't drink it."

"Mixed with water?" Shao Mobai was stunned for a moment, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, the taste of the wine was indeed impure.

However, the wine sold in this small restaurant is generally not very authentic, and it is not surprising that it is common for the store to add water to it.

The young man's face darkened, he looked up and down the layout of the restaurant, and calculated:

"This wine is branded Xinghuabai, and it sells for ten yuan and one tael, but I just inquired yesterday that the winery's Xinghuabai purchase price is five cents and one tael. It's already a huge profit for them to sell it directly, but now they have to mix it with it." Fake water is the most profitable of all profiteers!"

Seeing his upright appearance, Shao Mobai felt two points of admiration in his heart, "Your Excellency hates evil like hatred, this kind of spirit is really admirable. Dare I ask your name, but you are a scholar who is going to Beijing for the exam?"

The young man said: "Everyone in the world can take care of the affairs of the world. No matter what my current status is, I will definitely arrest the owner of this restaurant and take him to the government!"

See an official?

This was something Shao Mabai never expected, he thought that the scholar would at most dismantle the store and order him to compensate.As a result, before he could ask, the young man spoke again:

"I just ate the wine, and at least [-]% of the wine was mixed with water, so blatantly, this store owner is definitely a habitual offender. If I don't catch it, I will definitely entrap more people in the future!"

"Your Excellency, I think we can discuss a countermeasure on this matter."

Shao Mobai originally wanted to say that in such a big restaurant, since they can eat it mixed with water, others can also eat it, but the people around them didn't make a sound, maybe there is something else hidden.

But the young man didn't think so, he waved his hand and said:

"Brother, I have secretly observed this restaurant for three days, and it is not wrong. The best way now is to arrest him and send him to the Yamen for interrogation."

With his hands behind his back, he was full of righteousness, the more he spoke, the more urgent he felt, and then he waved to Xiao Er who was not far away.

"Call your shopkeeper, I have something to ask him."

As soon as these words came out, there was a bit of the majesty of an official, not like a weak scholar.

The shop waiter put a towel on his shoulders, nodded and ran over, wanted to entertain a few words, but seeing the young man's unkind face, he didn't dare to say anything rashly, and ran to the back hall.

Not long after, the renovated two-story restaurant was full of people, and the focus of the crowd's discussion was naturally whether the wine had been mixed with water.After all, the shopkeeper ran out, said a few words, "It is impossible for a small shop to do such illegal and fraudulent things", and then began to yell at the young man, accusing him of causing trouble for nothing, and wanting to tarnish the reputation of his restaurant.

At the same time, the surrounding onlookers also spoke one after another.

"I've eaten in this restaurant for so many years, don't you think the drinks are fake?"

"This scholar is not talking nonsense, is he?"

"Scholars nowadays are not as good as before. They spread rumors as soon as they open their mouths."

"Look at his appearance, he doesn't look like a rich man. He is probably a scholar who is going to Beijing to rush for the exam. If he has no money on the way, he wants to extort some money."

The rustling and chattering in the crowd was very quiet, but when dozens of people joined together, it was like a muffled thunder.

The shopkeeper became more confident, and cursed loudly: "I have been running this restaurant for decades, and I have always done my duty. If you continue to deceive people here and smash my signboard, don't blame me for kicking you out!"

Although there was only one man, he was very calm, and he didn't change his face even in front of thousands of discussions, "Of course you won't sell fake wine to everyone, otherwise you won't be able to open this restaurant for many years. You will only pick on passers-by Firstly, the passers-by are in a hurry to get on their way and won’t waste time fussing with you. Secondly, they are all foreigners, unfamiliar with their places of life, so they won’t bother you with the idea that one more thing is worse than one less thing. Just now, my wine, This is how you manipulated the wine with the two guest officers next door."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper's face froze for a moment. Although he quickly adjusted back, the obvious froze fell into Shao Mengbai's eyes, and he became more certain of one thing - the young man's speculation was not word-for-word. Difference.

The shopkeeper took a step forward and said, "What's the matter? Find two other people to collude with each other to make trouble? Young man, you've found the wrong place."

The corner of the man's lips twitched, and he said, "Is it causing trouble? You can tell if you test it?"

As soon as these words fell, the surroundings gradually quieted down, waiting to see how this farce would end.

The man turned around, borrowed the untouched wine jar from Shao Mobai's table, placed it on the table in the center of the lobby, and said loudly: "As we all know, water is heavier than wine. If you leave it for too long, the wine and water will go up and down. Layered. Generally speaking, if a winery wants to sell fake wine, they will use bamboo sticks to muddy the wine beforehand, so that the last 'wine' sold will not only be left with 'water'."

His tone was not in a hurry, and he was as comfortable as a teacher, obviously he was very sure about the matter.

Many people don't know this "industry secret", so they feel curious and poke their heads forward one after another.And precisely because the shopkeeper was an expert, after the man said this, his face turned livid uncontrollably.

Then, the man took out the iron nails he had prepared in advance, and nailed a hole in the bottom of the wine jar, and the clear liquid gushed out and put it into a porcelain bowl.

"The two guest officials didn't touch the wine jar just now. I made a rough calculation. There is about two cups of tea, enough time for the wine to separate. Everyone can drink and see, is the thing flowing out of it is wine or wine? water."

This method of identifying fake wine is quite novel, and someone in the crowd immediately volunteered to try the wine in the bowl.Just took a sip, his face changed greatly:

"Mother! This is clearly water!"

The lobby seemed to be plunged into boiling water, tumbling in a hurry.The crowd gradually became noisy, and the half-bowls of water were passed down one after another, shaking their heads again and again.

In the end, the shopkeeper hurriedly came out to make amends, saying that it was a cook who had a good eye and stole the wine from the restaurant to sell. He was afraid of being discovered and then mixed it with water.With a few words, he left himself clean, and the swearing and swearing was not intentional.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the cook is just a lamb kicked out to take the blame. After all, under the watchful eyes of everyone, if he admits that he ordered the water mixing, the business of this restaurant will be completely ruined.

However, the shopkeeper's business has indeed been in business for some years, and it is not easy for these native-born locals to break things up and give him this step.

However, the man did not agree.

"You open a small tavern and mix water with wine. You are dishonest and dishonest. If you are given half of the power, is it okay?"

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and asked, "What else do you want?"

The man said: "Since you are so confident and refuse to admit that you planned the sale of fake wine, do you dare to go with me to the government?"

"Meet the official? Heh!" The shopkeeper seemed to hear a fairy tale, "Little brother, it's not that I don't want to go with you. Who doesn't know now, Mr. Xu in our county has already retired and returned to his hometown, and the yamen is empty and waiting The new county magistrate is taking office, see the official? Which official?"

Now, discussions started everywhere.Some said, "Many people are busy with the shopkeeper's affairs, and the lack of supervision can be forgiven", some said, "The cook is a first-time offender, and he will be fined for two months' wages, so there is no need to make such a big fuss", and some said, " The most important thing in business is honesty, and selling fake wine should close down.”

In short, there were different opinions, but no one asked, who was the man who spoke his words and acted decisively.

Until the shopkeeper contemptuously asked "Which official are you seeing?" Duan Wuji, who was watching coldly, couldn't hold back, and said with a sneer:

"Is there bean dregs in his mind?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man took out a piece of paper in the noisy place, and said loudly:

"I am the imperial envoy Zhao Wen, who will take over the post of magistrate of Yishun County from now on. This is the official document of my appointment. Wait, do you have any questions?"

Except Shao and Duan, who had already guessed a few percent earlier, everyone else was shocked, and the face of the shopkeeper was even more gloomy, and there was only a storm.

The air froze for a moment, and after a while, everyone knelt down.

"Meet the Imperial Envoy—"

The sound was so loud that I wandered back and forth several times in the well-decorated restaurant.

Zhao Wen lowered his eyes, looked at the shopkeeper kneeling in front of him, and said: "After I hand over the servants of the yamen, I will arrest you and ask you carefully."

The shopkeeper fell on the ground, with beads of sweat on his forehead, "Yes, yes, I will follow your lord's orders."

Zhao Wen said again: "Furthermore, don't think about running away. Your current crime is at most a fine and a few days of imprisonment. If I don't see anyone tomorrow, you are absconding in fear of crime, and you will be punished. Jailed."

The shopkeeper shook his body, and buried his head a little longer, "Yes, yes, the villain must abide by his duty and wait here for the adults."

Everyone thought that this matter was over, but no one saw that when the shopkeeper's forehead was on the ground, his eyes suddenly became dark and bloodthirsty, wishing to tear the person in front of him to pieces.

"Follow or not?"

After the crowd dispersed, Duan Wuji asked while holding the Flood Dragon Whip.

Shao Mobai stuffed the last bite of chicken leg into his mouth, clapped his hands and said:

"What Wuji wants to do, how can I, as a husband, not cooperate?"

He raised his eyebrows at the other party happily, thinking he was romantic and suave, but was knocked on the forehead by a certain little devil head on.

"Ouch!"

Duan Wuji raised his chin and retracted his hand, only glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and said:

"I've said it all, I'm my husband, you're my wife, Mrs. Shao."

Shao Mubai rubbed the painful place, and smiled pleasantly, a trace of desire was extracted from the smile - his little devil is still a blank sheet of paper.

After consummating the house, I will teach you who is the husband!
