The night is as cool as water, and everything is silent.
The lights in Su's house were brightly lit. Su Jin was sitting on a big mahogany chair in the front hall with his legs crossed. In front of him were four men in official uniforms kneeling. Wang Chao had his hands on his hips and stepped on one of the officials.
On the man's back, the steel knife in his hand slapped his cheek with a 'slap' sound.
"Tell me, who are you? You went to Linshui House in the middle of the night to smash things up. What do you mean?" Wang Chao asked while slapping them with the blade of a knife.
A long-faced official sneered: "I advise you to let me go as soon as possible. I am an official official of the yamen. I went to the restaurant to do business. If you detain the official officer casually, the crime is not small."
Su Jin laughed hard and said: "Business official? Which yamen do you think you are from?"
The long-faced official was stunned and said: "Which yamen person is worthy of you to ask? Don't think that your nursing staff have some skills and can do whatever they want if they take us. If you dare, you can kill several of our brothers with one knife. Let's see if you can
I can get away with it."
Su Jin smiled and reached out to pick up an official document on the table and said: "You don't have to worry about who I am. Even if I am a common official, I am better than you guys, a bunch of fake officials. This official document of yours looks decent, but
It’s a pity that the seal underneath is painted on, which is different from the seal stamped on top. Do you think I can’t tell?”
The long-faced official trembled, obviously a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down and said with a sneer: "What a joke, you say that the official seal of the Privy Council's Ministry of War Yamen is fake, how can you ordinary people recognize it?"
Su Jin shouted: "You are still arguing, even if I have never seen what the real Ministry of War seal looks like, I can recognize the painting and the seal on it. If you are cheating, you must be more genuine, even if it is fake
A big yam carved with a seal and stamped on it is more realistic than your stroke-by-stroke drawing; you can’t even fake it, you’re just an idiot.”
The long-faced Tolerance had a look of remorse on his face, and secretly cursed himself for being stupid. He should have carved a big seal on a yam or a white radish, which would have been better than being recognized at a glance.
"Don't you admit it? Then I will tell you what's even more fake about this big seal. I'm not afraid you won't admit it. The big seal on top has rough edges and is slightly blurry. The ink pad used is ground with cinnabar and mixed with other raw materials.
It is mixed and precipitated, and the color is bright red with purple, thick and calm, and the seal on your official document is dazzlingly red, and it smells like a fragrance, I am afraid it is the lip gloss or rouge from the brothel.
It is concocted and faked so unprofessionally, you still have the nerve to quibble."
The long-faced man moved his mouth, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Su Jin stood up slowly and said, "Come on, why did you pretend to be a business official and get fake official documents to scare the people? Do you have any grudge against the Liao people?"
The official kept his head silent and Wang Chao kicked him in the butt and shouted, "I'm asking you a question, are you pretending to be dumb?"
The official suddenly raised his head and shouted: "We, the people of the Song Dynasty, all hate the Liao people. Our brothers just want to punish the Liao dogs. The Liao dogs have bullied me in the Song Dynasty for so many years. Isn't this what we should do?"
Su Jin clicked his tongue and said repeatedly: "You sound like a man of integrity. Do you treat me as a three-year-old child? The people of Liao Dynasty have an inseparable relationship with the Song Dynasty, and the common people don't like Liao.
People, but this is the occasion when the envoys of the two countries are discussing, do you deserve to get involved? If you are really ambitious, why don't you join the army and go to the border to fight with the Liao people? But you are cowardly and pretend to be a fake official to cause trouble. It is obvious that you have no intention.
Purpose."
The official said: "We don't care so much. We can do whatever it takes to relieve his anger. If he is from Liao, we have to give him a face. The office errand is just to make things smoother. Beating the old man is also a punishment for him. He is a Liao dog."
Meals are provided.”
Su Jin sighed and said: "It seems that you are still dishonest. It is as simple as you said. I don't have to argue with you. Yesterday morning, my envoy from the Song Dynasty just made a big bet with the Liao people and won all their money."
Qiancai, you showed up right away. Just by the time you chose, you can see that this was not a temporary move, but that we have been watching the Song and Liao envoys to discuss this matter. Don't tell me that this was a temporary move."
The official's eyes flickered, and he said harshly: "It was just a temporary idea, and it was only after hearing the rumors on the street that I came up with this method to punish the Liao people."
Su Jin lost his patience and gritted his teeth and said: "It seems that you have to endure a lot of torture. You chose the timing very well, and you also know how to forge official documents and pretend to be businessmen. Based on these points, you are not ordinary people;
Who ordered you to do this? This is the last question. If you don't tell me honestly again, don't blame me for being rude to you."
"Kill us, don't expect us to tell you a word." The official suddenly roared.
Chao Chao slapped the official from behind with a big slap from the side, causing the official's ear to bleed. The official suddenly reached out and pulled out a dagger from his boot, and with the momentum of being beaten forward, he quickly wiped it towards the throat of Su Jin who was standing in front of him.
.
Wang Chao was caught off guard and reached out to grab it, but was beyond his reach. He saw the dagger going straight to Su Jin's face. Su Jin took off his hand and threw the teacup in his hand at the official's face. The hot tea he had just brewed was poured on the other man's face.
The hot man's face sizzled and he screamed in pain; Su Jin took advantage of the moment he wiped his face, jumped back with a low body, and then rolled to avoid this fatal blow.
Wang Chao caught up from behind and knocked down the man with a kick. Seeing that he could not succeed, the man shouted: "Brothers, it's over." After saying that, he swiped the knife towards his throat, and a stream of hot blood spurted out, and he immediately fell to the ground.
Then it falls.
Wang Chao stared at him and shouted: "Search their daggers."
The companions who were guarding the other three fake officials came to their senses and quickly took action, locking the arms of the three fake officials who had suddenly reached into their boots. Sure enough, they found three fake officials in their boots.
He took a dagger as thin as a cicada's wings and found a small cloth bag in the sole of one of them.
Su Jin originally just wanted to scare these people. He somewhat believed that these people might have spontaneously thought of such an idea to embarrass the Liao envoys because they hated the Liao people. But the sudden change in front of him shattered Su Jin's heart.
idea.
After Su Jin calmed down from the shock, he ordered the remaining three people to be tied up and their mouths were blocked with wooden wedges to prevent them from biting their tongues to commit suicide. Then she straightened her clothes and looked at the three found daggers carefully by the candlelight; only the daggers were visible;
The double blades on both sides were glowing with blue light, and they smelled pungent, indicating that they had obviously spit poison.
Su Jin used candle scissors to gently cut open the small cloth bag, and a few small bright red pills rolled out.
The pill rolled to the floor, and a companion reached out to pick it up. Su Jin shouted: "Don't touch it."
The companion quickly stopped, and Su Jin said: "Bring me a bowl of water, and then go get a silver chopstick."
The pills melted when put into the water, and the bowl of water turned blood red and gave off a pleasant smell. Su Jin covered his nose and plunged a silver chopstick into the water. Suddenly, a black line spread rapidly along the body of the chopstick, and soon more than half of the chopstick was
It turned purple and black.
"Poisonous." Chao Chao and others exclaimed.
Su Jin took a breath and said: "This is extremely poisonous. These people are indeed not ordinary people. It seems that we are really in trouble."
Su Jin threw down his chopsticks and ordered the poisonous water to be poured out. The dagger and pills were wrapped heavily in thick cloth and put away. He stood up and walked slowly to the long-faced man who fell to the ground, looking at the man's body as if something was missing.
think.
Suddenly, Su Jin felt something was wrong. After the deceased's hat fell off, the hair on his head was unnaturally fluffy. Su Jin reached out his hand to grab it in confusion, and felt a lightness in his hand, and he actually grabbed all the hair of the dead body.
Su Jin was startled, and it took him a moment to realize that this man was actually wearing a wig. Looking at the man on the ground, he saw a piece of black hair surrounded by a few braids; on top of his head, there was a
The snow-white open space is barren of anything.
Su Jin wondered: "This man is bald. How did he become bald at such a young age?"
Chao Chao came up and took a closer look and said, "Master, it seems that he is not bald, but has his hair plucked out, deliberately."
Su Jin suddenly turned around and shouted: "Take off the hats of those three people and see if there is anything weird on their heads."
Everyone hurriedly took off the hats of the three people, which were bundled like rice dumplings. They pulled their hair randomly, and sure enough, three more messy wigs were pulled off. The three people, without exception, had hollow heads, surrounded by pigtails.
.
Everyone was stunned and looked at Su Jin wondering what was going on.
Su Jin took a deep breath and said, "Brothers, where can anyone have such a hairstyle?"
Dynasty suddenly shouted: "Bald hair, bald hair, the Xiang clan of Western thieves are all bald."
Su Jin nodded and said: "Yes, these are all Dangxiang people. This matter is getting more and more interesting now."
