There used to be a general named Deying, and when he was a child, his family was very poor. According to the rules of the imperial court, the boy born in the flag was a Ding, and when he grew up, he had to become a soldier.
When Deying was eighteen years old, he went to Xiang Shuai to become a soldier, because he made many military achievements, and Xiang Shuai recommended him to become the governor of the capital, and later he was named a general of Jilin by the emperor. De Ying was a clean and upright official, and did not bend the law for personal gain, and the common people gave him a nickname for this people, called "De Qingtian".
Deying handled official affairs during the day, and often paid private visits at night, which was poor, which was rich, which bought and sold cheats, which errand cheated, he knew.
One night, as usual, he came to the big east gate, and it was already midnight, and everyone was blowing lights to sleep. Only a small room on the side of the road was still lit. He felt very strange, why is it so late, the family is not sleeping? So he walked over gently.
Besides, this family has only two old children, no children and no daughters, opened a tofu factory, grinds beans every night, makes tofu, and picks them out early in the morning to sell.
At this time, the old man was pushing and grinding. He said to his wife: "They all say that the general is "De Qingtian", I can't see it accurately, our two old sons are so old, all fingers sell tofu to live, but also my old man to push and grind. If he is really "DeQingtian", he should buy a small donkey to grind for our old couple, then I admire it.
Although the old man said it to his wife, the words were heard by Deying outside the window. How do they know!
The next day, Deying ascended to the church and issued a sign, asking Ya Gong to go outside the Great East Gate to find the old man who sold tofu. The old couple didn't know what was going on, and they were frightened. The old man came to the front of the lobby, and when he saw Deying sitting on the top, he hurriedly knelt down and prostrated his head.
De Ying asked the old man: Why did you scold me last night? The old man replied: The little man does not dare.
De Ying slapped the shocked Tang Mu: You still dare to lie in front of the general! Last night you scolded me while pushing and grinding, I know what you scolded, and if you don't recruit me, I will punish you!
As soon as the old man heard a sweat, he thought to himself, I was at home nagging him, he heard it in the lobby, even I pushed him to know, but it was really powerful! Just say: The adult is on the top, the little man does not dare to lie, last night when I pushed the grind, blame you for not buying me a donkey, said the general's bad words, really should not, the little man is guilty.
As soon as Deying heard that it was quite right, he said to the old man: You are guilty of scolding adults, do you admit punishment or admit to beating? The old man asked how to play how to punish?
Deying said: Admit the beating, forty large plates, admit the punishment, punish you to eat half a pound of salty salt.
The old man thought, I am so old, I want to play forty big boards, I have to peel the skin even if I don't die, although the salt is unpalatable, it is better than being beaten, so he said: The little man is willing to punish.
Deying listened and said, "Okay." You go to the grocery store opposite and buy half a pound of salty salt. After a while, the old man bought the salt back. Deying also instructed the servant to borrow a rod scale to make a covenant, not enough for half a pound, and to return the top six or two to Kula head.
De Ying immediately ordered the servant to pass the salt seller. De Ying had already visited and listened, this grocery store manager was a traitorous businessman, always giving less scales, and had long wanted to punish him.
At this time, Ya Gong sent the treasurer's hand, and Deying asked: How much salt is this? The treasurer's head was sweating when he heard it, and he said with a sigh: Back, back to the old man, it is half a pound, half a pound.
De Ying said to Ya Gong: You weigh it, let him see how much it is!
The treasurer looked at the old man who bought the salt standing next to him, and he didn't have to look at the scale to get on it. As soon as Deying saw this, he immediately caught fire, and he was shocked by the wooden road: Buy half a pound of salt and you will give less two or two, how many less two or two do you want to give customers every day? How many less twos and twos should be given in a year? Come on people! The servants below "snorted" and shook the lobby.
This can frighten the treasurer's fart, kneel down and prostrate his head vigorously to admit his mistake: the villain is guilty, and the adult spares his life!
Deying said: If you know your guilt, you must change it, but this time you can't easily forgive, do you admit punishment or admit to beating? The treasurer asked how to fight and how to punish.
Deying said: On hitting, hitting you a hundred big boardmen, on punishment, punishing you with a donkey. The treasurer thought, how can my body bones resist a hundred large plates, and I will approve of punishing a donkey.
Thinking of this treasurer: The villain is willing to punish. De Ying said: "Well, you hurry up and send a donkey to atone for your sins." After a while, the treasurer brought a small donkey to atone for his sins.
Deying said to the old man selling tofu: This salt is not enough to scale, you don't need to eat it. This traitor deceives you, and this little donkey who punishes him will belong to you! After saying this, he said to the treasurer: You will dare to deceive the common people again in the future, so that I know, but I will never spare you, get out!
Hearing this, the treasurer immediately got up and ran. The old man, while thanking the lord, led the little donkey home, and since then, the story of the "DeQingtian" strange man's strange case has spread.
