"Cousin?" Boss Qiu looked at Shen Cha standing in front of him with a pure face, "Hey, how can you say this? How can I be my wife's cousin? I can't carry it with my shoulders or hands. , Although my cousin is not a big official, he is still very powerful! General, please don’t joke around."
"Are you kidding me? The thing I'm worst at is joking."
Shen Cha waved to Ying Wu and Hongye respectively, asking them to hold down Boss Qiu's legs and tie his arms. Although entering the Shen Jiajun Prison, shackles on both hands and feet are indispensable, especially for prisoners like Boss Qiu, who are under special attention, wearing heavy shackles. Even so, Shen Cha was still a little worried. If this "Boss Qiu" suddenly went crazy and hit him on the head, it would be a real disaster, as tragic as it was.
After walking around "Boss Qiu" a few times, Shen Cha carefully observed his face for a short while and finally found what he wanted. A small piece of almost transparent object was lifted up on her chin. She stretched out her hand to pinch the small transparent piece, and gently lifted it up. She only heard a "hiss" sound, and a mask as thin as a cicada's wings was lifted by her. It was torn off the face of "Boss Qiu".
"Oooh!" Xue Ruitian couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this mask. He jumped up from the stone bench without caring about the image, and ran to Shen Cha's side in a swish. "This is the legendary human skin mask. Right? Hey, I always thought the storyteller made it up himself, but I didn’t expect it to be true!" Xue Ruitian looked at it carefully and sighed softly, "Tsk, tsk, not to mention the ingenuity. Yes, but it's also quite exquisite. However, that saying is true, an expert can see the rules, and an outsider can see the excitement."
"How do you say it?" Shen Haolin also strolled over to take a closer look at this magical thing that only appeared in the storyteller's mouth.
"We people are definitely not experts, and we have no idea what kind of craftsmanship and techniques are used. All I can understand is that this is a good work." Xue Ruitian glanced at the face The ashen guy raised his foot and kicked his calf, "Hey, do you understand what General Shen is talking about now?"
"...How did you find out?" Mrs. Qiu's cousin didn't hold back this time. He took a deep breath and said, "I don't think there are any flaws. How did you see that I was a fake?"
"What's fake is fake. No matter how much you disguise it, it will never become real." Shen Cha ordered Hong Ye and Ying Wu to add two pairs of heavy shackles to her cousin, and she walked back to her seat and sat down again. . His expression was still calm, as if he didn't care at all about what was happening in front of him. She calmly picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said, "First of all, it's a matter of accent. Boss Qiu is from Zhending Prefecture, and the people there speak more distinctively. Even if he stayed in the Kingdom of Jin for a while, he learned The Mandarin spoken by both countries, but the accent of Zhending Mansion will not disappear from him. It is integrated into his bones and blood. No matter how careful you are at ordinary times, a little bit will come out occasionally. And you..." Chen Cha After a slight pause, "The Mandarin is good, but the accent of Linhuang Mansion is a little thicker."
"In other words, you knew I was fake from the beginning?"
"I doubt it, but I'm not sure. It wouldn't be good if I wrongly accuse you. So, I take what you said before as true. Maybe you noticed that in the process of revealing your so-called feelings to us, , Hongye went out to ask for a pot of hot tea, and also brought back a piece of news. And this news is fatal enough for you. "
Shen Cha looked at Hongye and motioned to share the news with everyone.
"Yes, General." Hongye cleared his throat, stretched out his paw to grab Xue Ruitian's tea bowl, took two sips, and said, "When Vice General Song was inspecting Tongji Hall, he accidentally dug up a body in the backyard. . Actually, everyone wanted to see if there were any confidential things buried in the backyard. As a result, they were unexpectedly given a big surprise. The time when the body was buried should have been a long time ago, so only a set of bones were left. The skeleton. Vice General Song sent someone to deliver this skeleton to Yaolu. The military advisor lit a lamp and boiled oil for several days, and finally got the result. The owner of this skeleton is from our Daxia Zhending Prefecture, and the entire There is only one surname from Zhending Prefecture in the household register registered by Tongjitang with the government, and that is Boss Qiu. In this case, there is a problem. Since Boss Qiu is dead, then who is the Boss Qiu we arrested? who?"
"You just said that you didn't reveal any flaws, but that's not the case." Shen Cha shook his head and denied his cousin's statement, "After confirming that you are not Boss Qiu, I reviewed some of what you said and found some Loopholes.”
"General Shen is indeed as careful as the rumors said. I admire you." After being exposed, my cousin felt different from before. After all, he was a soldier. He was so angry. The market is different from ordinary people. He smiled at Shen Cha, "I feel honored to be defeated by General Shen. So, if I have any flaws, please give me some advice from General Shen."
"The first flaw is that you said that there are many medicine shops and medical clinics in Zhending Mansion. Even if you are a local, if you open a medicine shop, you may not be able to gain a foothold."
"Hey, I also know what General Shen said. In fact, I should be the first person to suspect that you are not Boss Qiu. It's because of this." Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows, "I have been there a few years ago I have been to Zhending Mansion once before. It is indeed as you said. There are many medicine shops and medical clinics there, but they are not very large and their influence is not that strong. Basically, they do their own thing and do not cooperate with anyone. Dealing with it is like your Tongji Hall is in Jiapingguan City. Therefore, what you said about being unable to gain a foothold is pure nonsense and cannot be trusted. Whoever believes it will be stupid!"
Xue Ruitian, who was labeled as "Whoever believes it, is stupid", touched his nose in embarrassment. If Hongye hadn't secretly used hand gestures to communicate with him just now, he would have really believed everything his cousin said, even I also sympathize with him a little, and really feel that they arrested the wrong person.
"Marshal, you can't blame me. That's what the boy said in the letter he sent back. I just took it out and used it. After all, I am from the Jin Kingdom and have never been to Zhending Mansion. I don't understand Zhending Mansion at all. Condition."
This cousin still looked innocent, and several people simultaneously felt that this person deserved a beating.
"Where's the second flaw?"
"Same in Zhending Mansion." Shen Cha shook his fist. If he didn't do this, there was no guarantee that the fist would appear on the cousin's face in the next moment. "Since the so-called Zhending Mansion cannot gain a foothold is false, then it is also false if it does not open a pharmacy. Among the Tongji Hall's account books from previous years, although there are few of the Tongji Hall's account books, there are some. Since you have replaced Qiu Boss, haven’t you checked previous years’ accounts?”
"Account books..." My cousin smiled bitterly, "How can I, a soldier, understand this kind of thing? It's not easy to make a loss in business in the past few years. Things like accounts are handed over to the accountant. Mr. Accountant is not my person, so in order not to arouse suspicion, I did not take the initiative to discuss this issue with him. "
"Besides this, there is another point. If Boss Qiu had not opened a medicine shop in Zhending Mansion, he would not have been able to maintain contact with the medicinal merchants." Xue Ruitian yawned, "Business people are very particular. What comes and goes, Boss Qiu's father-in-law paved a big road for him, but if he doesn't manage it well, why do these medicinal merchants keep in touch with him? Whether it is the Kingdom of Jin or Daxia, drug stores, Medical clinics are still very popular. If people can’t make money with them, why can’t they go to others?”
"Okay, this is also my mistake, I admit it." After listening to a series of explanations, the cousin finally recovered from his dumbfounded state. "Besides these, are there any other loopholes you mentioned?"
"Yes." Shen Cha nodded simply, "Your...real sweetheart is Mrs. Qiu, right?"
