Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 25 Debunked 2.0

"Cousin?" Boss Qiu looked at Shen Cha standing in front of him with a pure face, "Hey, what are you talking about? How could I be my wife's cousin? I can't carry it on my shoulders , Cousin, although he is not a big official, he is still very powerful! General, don’t make jokes.”

"Are you kidding? I'm the worst at making jokes."

Shen Cha waved to Ying Wu and Hong Ye respectively, and asked them to hold Boss Qiu's legs with one hand and his arms with the other.Although entering the Shen family army's prison, shackles on both hands and feet are indispensable, especially for prisoners like Boss Qiu who are the focus of attention, they wear heavy shackles.Even so, Shen Cha was still a little worried, if this "Boss Qiu" suddenly went crazy and hit his head, it would be a capsize in the gutter, as sad as it could be.

After walking around this "Boss Qiu" for a few times, Shen Cha carefully observed his face. After looking at it for a while, he finally found what he wanted.At the lower jaw, a small piece of almost transparent object was lifted. She stretched out her hand to pinch the transparent piece, and lifted it up slightly, only to hear a "hiss", and a mask as thin as a cicada's wings was covered by her. Torn from the face of "Boss Qiu".

"Yo hoo!" Seeing this mask, Xue Ruitian couldn't help but exclaimed, jumped up from the stone bench completely disregarding his image, and ran to Shen Cha's side with a whoosh, "This is the legendary human skin mask Right? Hey, I always thought it was made up by the storyteller himself, but I didn’t expect it to be true!" Xue Ruitian looked at it carefully, and sighed softly, "Tsk tsk tsk, not to mention the ingenuity Yes, but it’s also quite delicate. However, that sentence is true, experts watch the doorway, and laymen watch the fun.”

"How to say?" Shen Haolin also strolled over to watch this magical thing that only appeared in the mouth of a storyteller from a close distance.

"We people are definitely not experts. We don't understand what kind of craftsmanship and techniques are used. What 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, "I don't think there are any flaws, how do you know that I am a fake?"

"A fake is a fake, no matter how much you pretend, it will never become real." Shen Cha ordered Hong Ye and Ying Wu to put on two sets of heavy shackles for this cousin, and she walked back to her seat and sat down again .His expression was still calm, as if he didn't care about what happened in front of him at all.She calmly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "First of all, it's the problem of accent. Boss Qiu is from Zhending Prefecture, and the people there speak with their own characteristics. The mandarin used by the two countries, but the accent of Zhending Mansion will not disappear from him, it is integrated into his blood and bones. No matter how careful you are, you will occasionally bring it out. And you..." Shen Cha After a short pause, "The official language is good, but the accent of Linhuang Mansion is a little bit stronger."

"That is to say, from the very beginning, you knew that I was a fake?"

"Doubt, but I'm not sure. It's not good if you are wronged. So, what you said before, I listened as if it was true. Maybe you noticed, in the process of you revealing your so-called feelings to us , Hongye went out to ask for a pot of hot tea, and at the same time brought back a piece of news. And this news is deadly enough for you."

Shen Cha looked at Hongye and motioned to share the news with everyone.

"Yes, General." Hong Ye cleared her throat, grabbed Xue Ruitian's tea bowl with her paws, took a few sips, and said, "When Vice General Song was raiding Tongji Hall, he unintentionally dug up a corpse in the backyard .Actually, everyone wanted to see if there were any confidential things buried in the backyard. In the end, they were unexpectedly surprised. The time for burying the corpse should be a long time ago, so only a pair of bones remained Shelves. Vice-General Song sent someone to deliver the skeletons to the medicine house. The military master tossed and boiled the oil for a few days, and finally got the result. The owner of this skeleton is our Daxia Zhending Mansion, and the whole In Tongjitang’s government-registered household registration book, there is only one surname from Zhending Prefecture, and that is Boss Qiu. In this way, there is a problem. Since Boss Qiu is dead, then the Boss Qiu we arrested is who?"

"You just said that you didn't show any flaws, but it's not." Shen Cha shook his head and denied the cousin's statement, "After confirming that you are not Boss Qiu, I recalled some of what you said and found some Loophole."

"General Shen is really as meticulous as the rumors say. I admire you." After being exposed, my cousin felt different from before. The field is different from ordinary people.He smiled at Shen Cha, "I feel very honored to have lost to General Shen. Then, if there are any flaws, please give me some advice from General Shen."

"The first flaw, you said that there are many medicine stores and clinics in Zhending Prefecture. Even if you are a local, if you open a medicine store, you may not be able to gain a foothold."

"Hey, I know what General Shen said. In fact, this commander should be the first to suspect that you are not Boss Qiu, because of this." Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows, "This commander once went to the I went to Zhending Mansion once, and there are indeed as you said, there are many medicine shops and medical clinics, but the scale is not very large, and the influence is not so strong. Basically, they are all on their own, and no one deals with anyone. It’s like your Tongjitang is in Jiapingguan City. Therefore, what you said about the so-called inability to gain a foothold is pure nonsense and unbelievable. Anyone who believes is stupid!”

Xue Ruitian, who was tagged as "who believes who is stupid", touched his nose in embarrassment. If Hongye hadn't secretly used hand gestures to whisper to him just now, he really believed everything this cousin said, even I also feel a little sympathetic to him, and really feel that they caught the wrong person.

"Master Marshal, you can't blame me. That's what the boy said in the letter. I just took it out and used it. After all, I'm from the Kingdom of Jin. I've never been to Zhending Mansion, and I don't know anything about Zhending Mansion at all. Happening."

This cousin still had an innocent look on his face, and several people felt that this person deserved a beating at the same time.

"What about the second flaw?"

"It's also in Zhending Mansion." Shen Cha shook his fist, if he didn't do this, there was no guarantee that the fist would appear on that cousin's face in the next moment. "Since the so-called Zhending Mansion's inability to gain a foothold is a lie, then it is also a lie if it does not open a medicine store. In Tongjitang's account books in previous years, although there are few account books in the Tongjitang of Zhending Mansion, there are still some. Since you replaced Qiu Boss, haven't you checked the accounts of previous years?"

"Account books..." Cousin smiled wryly, "I'm a soldier, how can I understand this kind of thing? It's not easy if I haven't made a loss in the business in the past few years. Things like accounts are handed over to the accountant Mr. is in charge. 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, there is another point. If Boss Qiu didn't open a medicine store in Zhending Mansion, it would be impossible to maintain contact with medicine merchants." Xue Ruitian yawned, "Business people, pay attention Boss Qiu's father-in-law has paved the way for him, but if he doesn't manage well, why do these medicine merchants keep in touch with him? Whether it's Jin Guo, or Da Xia, medicine shops, Medical clinics are still very popular, people can't make money here, so can't they go to others?"

"Well, this is my mistake too, I admit it." After listening to a series of explanations, the cousin finally recovered from his stunned state, "Are there any other loopholes you mentioned besides these?"

"Yes." Shen Cha nodded bluntly, "You... your real sweetheart is Mrs. Qiu, right?"
