Wu Dalang in history was not a dwarf, but also an official?

Many stories in Water Margin are fabricated, either from others or from their own thoughts. These stories reflect the author's own thinking about society. After reading the official history, I realized that Wu Dalang was not the short man in the novel at all. On the contrary, he was more than eight feet tall, a handsome man admired by everyone at that time. And Pan Jinlian doesn't want to be like in the novel. She is kind, intelligent, diligent, housekeeping, and has a good impression on Wu Dalang. They have four children and their family and marriage are happy and harmonious.

According to the archaeological knowledge of historians, Wu Dalang is actually eight feet long and a scholar. He doesn't sell sesame cakes at all. Although his family was poor and had no money to study, Pan Jinlian, then a rich girl, loved him very much and often helped him privately. Later, Wu Dalang was admitted to Jinshi. You know, in ancient times, Jinshi was equivalent to the top 100 in the country now. He was admitted to Jinshi and lived up to everyone's expectations. He returned to his hometown and became a county magistrate.

This may be different from the familiar Wu Dalang, and even completely subvert our previous imagination. This is mainly due to the behavior of a friend of Wu Dalang's. When he saw that Wu Dalang was an official, his friends asked Wu Dalang to get him an official position. However, Wu Dalang in history was honest and selfless, so he didn't agree to his friend's request. Later, this friend left angrily and happened to meet Shi Naian. Then Wu Dalang's friends said some bad things to Shi Naian to slander him.
