"Old man, you said that the silver is yours, so may I ask where did you buy the silver bag?"

"This is the old man who sewed it by himself."

"Was your grandson there when you sew?"

"Of course."

"What's wrong with your grandson?"

"Wind chill."

"You came out today just to buy him medicine?"

"Of course."

"You haven't bought the medicine yet, so you came here to eat?"

"Yes."

"And then sat down with this big brother?"

"That's right."

"Then have you noticed that when the eldest brother took out the money bag, he put something in it?"

"He didn't put anything in......"

“……”

In an inn, an old man and a strong man clash over the ownership of a bag of silver.

Cao Xiu was invited by two parties to help solve the case, his speed of speech was very fast, staring at the old man's eyes, every time he asked, he took a step forward, pressing step by step, creating an invisible pressure on the old man.

Although the old man was prepared, he inevitably replied subconsciously, as soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned, his pupils widened, his cheeks wrinkled into chrysanthemums began to burn, his forehead was already oozing sweat, and a dry hand trembled and pointed at Cao Xiudao: "Stinky boy, you ...... So insidious. ”

Cao Xiu ignored him, retreated, walked in front of the strong man, and arched his hand at him: "This big brother, the money bag is your ......"

The strong man glared at the old man, snatched the money bag, and squirted a mouthful of water.

The old man didn't resist, he collapsed on the ground, the whole person was stunned, his head was buzzing, the routines of the people in the city were so deep.

"Isn't this old man stupid!"

"I didn't expect that even the old ones will deceive people now, it's really a world that is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient......"

"This old man I know, when I was young, I was not a good person."

"Childe is really a god!"

"He's smarter than our county master."

"In the future, he will definitely be a good official."

The surrounding diners were originally quietly listening to Cao Xiu's questioning, but at this time, the case had been solved, and they all made noise.

Someone had already escorted the old man to the official.

The strong man walked up to Cao Xiu, took out a piece of silver from the money bag, and said gratefully: "Engong, thanks to you, otherwise I would have been pitted by the turtle son, although this silver is small, but it is also a little heart." "He is from Shuzhong, and his accent inevitably has some local characteristics.

Cao Xiu pushed back the strong man's hand and said resolutely: "You can't ask for this money, you should keep it." ”

The strong man raised his hand and asked, "Engong Gaoyi, can you always tell me my name?" ”

Cao Xiu waved his hand and smiled, "Do good deeds, don't leave a name......"

Seeing that he insisted, the strong man remembered Cao Xiu's appearance, and bowed to him three times before leaving the inn.

On this side, Cao Xiu was also about to turn around and go back, but when he saw the two companions at his table, his head hurt terribly.

He is not from this world, he crossed over to a poor scholar last night, and when he woke up, he found himself in a mass grave.

Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.

When he desperately escaped from the pile of dead people and came to a ruined temple, he encountered another murder case.

But that's not the most painful part.

At that time, the murderer had long since disappeared, and those who remained at the scene were three Ouchi secret agents who claimed to be members of the Imperial City Division, and one of them was the victim's personal guard.

The identity of the victim is not simple, I heard them say that he is the grandson of Cao Bin, the prince of Lu State, surnamed Cao, and he is a new science and technology jinshi.

Cao Zhixian's Jinshi results are not ideal, but after all, he is a nobleman, and the current emperor still makes up for him in the face of Lu Guogong, and still makes up for the real shortage of a county magistrate in Liyuan County, Jiangning Prefecture.

These had nothing to do with Cao Xiu who was passing by, but what he never expected was that he and Cao Zhixian looked almost identical.

At the same time, both of them are also surnamed Cao, which is just like arranged by God.

Such...... It's embarrassing.

The three secret agents fell in love with him and asked Cao Xiu to be a fake magistrate, so as to follow the vine and lead out the murderer.

At first, it was definitely a refusal.

He is not a fool, pretending to be an official, not only is it difficult to climb to the sky, but he also has to lose his head.

And these people from the Imperial City Division are too bold to ask him to pretend to be an official, and he is also the grandson of the Duke of Guo.

Gee......

Cao Xiu didn't do it, but the three of them didn't comply, if they didn't agree, they framed themselves for a murder charge, saying, "Seeing that he looks the same as the deceased, he has evil intentions ......"

This is simply the official version of the fairy jump, the key is that there is no place to sue.

Of course, the three of them also gave Cao Xiu a promise, if the matter was successfully completed, let him join the Imperial City Division, so as to ascend to the sky in one step.

One step to the sky, the temptation is very great, the back of the original owner's head was smashed, and Cao Xiu, who passed through the soul, didn't even know who he was, where he came from, and what he was going to do.

The road to the future is afraid that it will be difficult to walk, and now he can be said to be a black household.

It's just that Cao Xiu won't even believe a single punctuation mark in their words.

According to normal logic, once you help them find the murderer, you should go for fear that you should go.

When I think of this, 100,000 alpacas rush in my heart.

He is now on the path of others, and he has no way out.

But what can be done, the other party is a secret agent, a very powerful kind, how can a small character like him escape from the palm of their hands.

I had to make a mistake for a while.

After the two sides negotiated, one of the three members of the Imperial City Division rushed north with the body of the new magistrate.

The other two, that is, the two people here, the one on the left, is a middle-aged man, the commander of the Imperial City Division, surnamed Luo, and now disguised as Cao Xiu's housekeeper.

The person on the right is surnamed Wu, a young man in white, with an honest face, he is the personal guard just mentioned, and he is still Cao Xiu's guard at this moment.

That Liyuan County is in the southernmost part of Jiangning Prefecture, and if you want to go, you have to pass through Jiangning City.

Cao Xiu has now entered the city, and he has to stay here for half a month to make some preparations for becoming a fake magistrate, just in time, Cao Zhixian's arrival date is a month later.

In addition, because of amnesia, the two people of the Imperial City Division also have to investigate Cao Xiu's true identity, so they can't let him take office as soon as their eyes are dark.

Commander Luo, who was temporarily acting as a companion, and the young man in white were looking at Cao Xiu who was sitting down with a surprised expression, and Commander Luo was curious: "Master Cao, you will also solve the case?" ”

Cao Xiu looked at him and smiled slightly: "I understand a little, I just understand a little......

Luo commanded: "I don't understand a little, how did the son conclude that the money bag was not the old man?" ”

Cao Xiu waved his hand and said modestly: "Guess the ......"

"What if the old man didn't fall into your trap?"

"I still have ninety-nine eighty-one methods......" Cao Xiu crossed his fingers and said casually.

Seeing this, Commander Luo didn't speak, but Wu Chang on the other side slapped the table and yelled in the direction of the back kitchen: "When is it, I've been waiting for a long time, where is the meal?" ”

Today's inn seems to be very busy, and the dishes have not come up for a long time.

A case has been solved, but I haven't seen a single dish I ordered in the morning.

It's no wonder that the young man in white is in a hurry, Cao Xiu looked at him, pressed his hand, and said with a normal heart: "There are so many people in the store today, the kitchen is inevitably too busy, Brother Wu Chang, don't be impatient, in my opinion, the second child of the shop will run out and say: Wait a minute, the dish is still in the pot." ”

"Wait a minute, the dish is still in the pot......" As soon as the words fell, the shopkeeper drilled his head out of the back kitchen like a repeater.

The funny performance immediately attracted laughter from the diners, and only Wu Chang said to Cao Xiu with admiration: "Hey, son, you are really like a god." ”

Hehe......

Is it really like a god, can you still control it?

Cao Xiu was speechless, he didn't feel the slightest bit of the praise thrown over, shook his head, and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just common sense......"

"It's just common sense, Gongzi Cao, you solved a case in just a few words, and the sentence "the dish is still in the pot" shows that you are observant of ordinary things...... Wu Chang, it seems that we are not looking for the wrong person. ”

Commander Luo, who had been smiling and staring at Cao Xiu, touched the small stone in his hand, praised Cao Xiu, smiled, glanced at the white-clothed young man opposite, and the two nodded at the same time, they had found the right person, and the decision under the broken temple was not wrong.

"Hehe......"

Cao Xiu didn't know how to answer, everything now was all thanks to them, so he could only reply with "hehe".

Commander Luo was confused by this "hehe" and asked him: "What does this 'hehe' mean?" ”

"Uh...... Hehe, that's it. ”

Cao Xiu lowered his head and drank tea, so that he would not tell them the meaning of these two words in the future generations.
