When Wu Xingde was the Governor of Luoyang, (http://www.watchescat.com/)the eastern capital, there were laws prohibiting the private transportation of salt. If a person could catch anyone transporting over one catty of salt without official permission, he would receive a big reward. At that time, many desperadoes made use of this law to frame people.A certain village boy often carried a load of vegetables into the city. One day he met a nun on the way. She was from east of the river and they kept each other company. When they were near the city, the nun hurried in front of him and entered the gate. After a little while, the guards at the gate searched the boy and found several catties of salt in his basket of vegetables. The boy was bound and taken to the Prefecture authorities.Wu Xingde took the salt and examined it. The salt was wrapped in a white silk handkerchief which had a strong fragrance. Wu was very surprised."This village boy is dressed in rags. His clothes could not be more tattered. How could he possess a fragrant handkerchief such as this? This must be the work of crooks.""Did you walk with anyone after you left ...
... home?" Wu asked the boy.The boy told him what happened. Wu Xingde was delighted."I've got it. This must be a plot between a nun from the Tiannii Convent and the guard at the city. gate. They hope to earn some easy money by getting the reward." Hot summer, Chaner kept shouting in the trees: "cicadas, cicada," leaves, grass lit by the sun hung his head, and all life are no alternative but to endure. Only pond, the fields, the stream of small water droplets do not want to endure, come together to talk the summer somewhere. One of the small water droplets, said: "Yesterday, when it rains from the heaven, where the partnership that they can be cool, and they have become water vapor has returned." They talk a good range of small water droplets are on the sun-baked into a the water vapor, embarked on a summer's journey to heaven. Along the way, the small drop their eyes to see, however, and there are high-rise buildings, dense forests, broad boundless fields, stretches of mountains Xiangshan a moment, a moment like a sheep-like white clouds, there are never seen off the Great Wall ... ... they say laugh, delighted. Suddenly, a small drop of water they feel a little cold, stop and take a look at each other, they became partners in the pond, small stream, where the fields look. Beyond that not far from a look, ah, where are the clouds and everyone had the same partner. Small water droplets are as at once to have so many friends are glad to forget the travel fatigue, immediately, and new partners, pursuit of playfulness, extremely fun. I do not know how long before, a small drop of water suddenly cried out: "Mom, I want my mother, I want to go home." Hear the cry, the small water droplets were immediately stopped the game, felt hungry and tired, and wanted to go back his home, but who also could not find his way home, then a Ku Cheng. At this time, a small water droplets, said: "Let's home is under their feet, we jump bar!" Then one can not attend to everyone in a hurry to jump. However, one did not jump, because there are currents up the following Bay, while their body has special light, jumping around, still hanging in the air. As a result, these small water droplets could not find his way home, cried up, and the more upset the more tears. There is a clever little drop of water did not cry, he carefully thought and says loudly: "Do not cry, let's think of ways to strength in numbers, you hand in hand in front, I have at the back, we have synthesized a whole jump , how? "small water droplets, if they feel that the older brother of sense, according to what he says to do, but we found the naked, no one can not catch who. That clever drop exclaimed: "Small dust particles are sticky, we all grasp it." So everyone is put on a small dust particles are linked in threes, twinkle, air can no longer float do not live them, and large some small water droplets have returned home. Small water droplets travel is over, their travel is the formation of rain.He obtained a description of the nun from the boy and sent his trusted men to arrest her. She was caught that very day. After cross-examination, the facts of the plot were uncovered and it turned out that the guard at the city gate was really involved. The village boy was released. After this incident none of the officials and constables dared to deceive Wu Xingde and the people of the capital all stood in awe of bun.( http://www.watchcopiez.com/)
