The Baoding Prefect ignored the man's call at all and turned to Zhu Youjian and asked, "You said the dead on the ground were forbidden to death, are you serious about this?"

Zhu Youjian said: "Of course, it's serious. Human life is at stake. How can this be a joke?"

When he heard that Zhu Youjian was serious, the prefect smiled with joy. If this person had to die, then this case would not be a criminal case. One criminal case was missing under his rule, which would be a good thing for him, the prefect.

The prefect of Baoding asked, "I wonder if my little brother said that this person was suffocating to death?"

Although the investigation of the case had nothing to do with Zhu Youjian and was an employed by the Baoding Government Office, Zhu Youjian and his group were very tired after a day of travel. In order to get out of here as soon as possible, Zhu Youjian had to help the confused prefect.

Zhu Youjian first looked at the scammer who was locked and the dead on the ground and said, "I think these two people should not be locals."

The prefect himself was a fool, but at this moment he despised Zhu Youjian and thought to himself: "Aren't you talking nonsense? The corpse grid is written, and he is from Nanyang Prefecture, Henan." However, he still wanted to rely on Zhu Youjian to solve the case for him, but he didn't say it out.

Zhu Youjian continued: "Please look at the soles of the deceased's boots. They are very worn. I think the soles of the deceased's brother's boots are the same. I don't believe that they can verify them. In addition, the items carried by the deceased are cloth banners with "Immortals' guides", a secret book of "Tathagata's Palm", and a volume of old "Lanting Preface". These three items are not something that ordinary people would carry with them. These things should be props that you and your brothers cheated all the way, right?" Zhu Youjian looked at the person who was locked and taken.

"What are you asking, answering." Seeing that the deceased brother just snorted coldly and raised his head and did not speak, the prefect scolded.

When he was scolded by the prefect, the man had to say, "This is just your speculation. When did you see my brothers cheat?"

Zhu Youjian said calmly: "You said you were the young master of the British Duke's Mansion, but you have not thought about many things yet, but you can also see that you are a deceitful person. As for whether you have been cheating all the way, I have no evidence. But even if you want to cheat, it should be because you were seriously affected along the way from Henan, and no one has enough money to cheat you. So you have no source of livelihood. You two should have hungry all the way, right? At first, you were so hungry that you couldn't hold on, so you found some grass roots and tree bark to cook them to fill your hunger. A few days ago, you should have been in the mountain.

In the eastern territory, the famine is even more serious. You may not even have grassroots and bark, so you two brothers were so hungry that they couldn't bear it and so they ate Guanyin soil. Eating a little Guanyin soil would not kill you, you don't think you're a big deal, but when you arrived in Baoding Mansion, you thought you were cheating? So after getting some money, you two brothers ate and drank a lot. You were hungry for many days, and the Guanyin soil accumulated in your belly. After such overeating, your brothers broke their stomachs and died. Fortunately, you were still in control, otherwise you would inevitably end up with your brothers."

After listening to Zhu Youjian's analysis, the deceased's brother flashed his eyes and then insisted on himself: "You are talking nonsense. Look at the clothes of our brothers, no matter how they are, they will not be as down and out of place as they eat Guanyin soil. What evidence do you have?"

Zhu Youjian continued: "Your brother's abdomen is like a drum. Although it looks like it is caused by obesity, I pressed it a few times and your brother's abdomen is very hard. This is the symptom of taking Guanyindi."

Master Xing Ming retorted after hearing this: "Little brother, I have also encountered several corpses that were swollen by Guanyin, but their abdomen are as hard as iron, and they are not like this dead person. Have you made a mistake?"

Zhu Youjian was surprised when he heard this, "What? Are there people in Baoding who are so hungry that they eat Guanyin land?"

The prefect immediately glared at the master of Xing. The master looked at the prefect and immediately changed his words: "I misunderstood, but it was just a hungry man who was wandering around elsewhere." After explaining, the master stopped talking.

Zhu Youjian did not continue to ask the Master Xing about his interest. He then explained to everyone: "It is indeed different from the dead who died of Guanyin soil. So I said that this person just ate a small amount of Guanyin soil on his way from Henan. The main reason for his death was because of overeating tonight. If the prefect does not believe it, he can let the coroner cut open the abdomen of the deceased. There must be some Guanyin soil mixed with food that will not be able to digest today, and these foods should be mostly oil and meat."

The prefect said: "I don't think these two people are dressed like they can't afford to eat?"

Zhu Youjian explained: "Why do I say these two people are cheating all the way? In addition to the few objects in the arms of the deceased, please see them."

Zhu Youjian said, squatting down again and picked up the deceased's hands, "The jade ring and gold ring worn by the deceased are all fake. If you have any doubts, you can ask the pawnshop Chaofeng to conduct an identification. The objects on the deceased's brother's hands should also be fake. These are just used by the two of them to decorate their identities. Please look at the person's clothes again."

Zhu Youjian said while lifting the deceased's outer robe, "In addition to the robe, the deceased's outer robe was patched, and even the outer robe was washed a little white. The clothes on the deceased's brother should be the same. If you don't believe it, you will know that it should be the only decent piece of clothing left in them, and this piece of clothing should be used by them to cheat."

After saying this, Zhu Youjian stood up and stood aside without saying anything.

After hearing Zhu Youjian's analysis, the Baoding Prefect thought that what he said was very reasonable, and this was basically the truth. The Baoding Prefect shouted sternly to the brother of the locked-up deceased, "Don't you come here with the truth? Do you really want me to order the coroner to cut open your brother's body in the street?"

The man lowered his head and remained silent, obviously agreeing with Zhu Youjian's statement.

At this moment, a person suddenly squeezed into the crowd. The man held a gilded jar in his hand and shouted at the person who was locked: "Okay, you a bad-hearted black-hearted liar, tell me what this bottle is, the seven-treasure gilded jar brought from the British Duke's mansion. It is an antique worth hundreds of taels of silver. I just found someone to see it. It was obviously a broken pottery jar with gold paint, which was worth a few coins. You cheated me for dozens of taels of silver. You lied to pay me back the silver quickly."

"I am so arrogant, I will not be disturbed by this case."

The man hurriedly said to the prefect: "Sir, you have to make a decision for the villain. This man cheated me of dozens of taels of silver today."

When the prefect and the people watching around heard the man's words, it seemed that the case was indeed as the boy said, and these two people were liars.

The prefect looked at the liar again and said, "What else do you have to say at this time?"

The man said dejectedly: "The villain confesses his guilt."

At this time, Zhu Youjian teased the person who confessed, "Do you know why you should be unlucky? Because when you meet me, you are a liar, but you don't cheat but do something. You just want to frame me. What do you know? You are called "no professional ethics," I don't like someone like you who has no professional ethics the most."

The Baoding Prefect couldn't listen to the black thread, so he said to the yamen runner: "Since you have confessed your guilt and take it away, as the anger is getting warmer today, the body is prone to decay, and the dead body is restrained and taken away."

When he heard that the prefect was leaving, the deceived man quickly stepped forward and pulled the prefect and complained, "Sir, you can't ignore my business."

The prefect solved the case at this time and was quite proud. He said proudly: "Although you were cheated by others, the reason is that you are greedy for others. Now you know that the things in your hands are worthless, so you come to collect debts. If you really can sell a few hundred taels of silver, will you return the excess money to others? And this person will die because of your money. The matter will not be investigated. If you are not convinced, you can hand over the paper at the government office tomorrow, and the matter here will be settled."

After saying that, the prefect no longer paid attention to the deceived person and turned around and left.

After the people from the Baoding Prefecture Office left, the onlookers gradually dispersed, and Zhu Youjian called out a few people to walk towards the carriage.

Zhang Zhiji teased: "Fifth brother, this case was solved wonderfully. I didn't expect you to be like this? But if your brother was arrested, you wouldn't rescue him. Isn't it too insignificant? But your brother is too unrighteous and actually cheated on his own brother. Oh, 'It's the same root, why are we too anxious to fight each other'."

Zhu Youjian said quietly without turning his head, "That's your cousin."

Several people returned to the carriage, but Gao Han was still the first to lead the way. Soon the group found a fairly clean inn. Several people ordered some to eat and then moved in.

Early the next morning, the doors of Zhang Zhiji and Luo Yangxing were knocked by thumping. Luo Yangxing got out of bed and opened the door with sleepy eyes. Seeing that it was Zhu Youjian, he turned around and asked Zhu Youjian to enter the room, then sat down at the table, picked up the kettle and went to a glass of water to drink.

Zhang Zhiji was still asleep on the bed in the inner room. He heard the sound of the outer room and said dissatisfiedly: "It's not dark yet, why do you get up so early? I've been driving the road for a day yesterday. Today I'll have to rest for a day. I can't stand the road as I was yesterday. If you come to force me to rush on, I'd better forget it. While it's not far from the capital now, I'd rather go back to the capital to spend a few days of comfortable life."

Zhu Youjian said to the inside: "There is no need to hurry up today. It's almost two hundred miles a day. But the sun is almost drying your butt and you are still asleep. Wouldn't it disappoint the beauty of Baoding City? Get up and wash up quickly. After using the food, we go out for a walk. The historical and cultural heritage of Baoding City is still very profound, and the scenery is also very good. It's a pity to waste it on the bed."

Zhang Zhiji got up with a slight dress and kept muttering, "I won't go, I won't go. I was almost disbanded by the carriage yesterday. I met you, a weird brother, in the evening. I really didn't have the interest. I'll come back to make up for it after dinner. You guys will go and see it, just come back and tell me."

Zhu Youjian said dissatisfiedly: "Don't you just come out to enjoy the mountains and rivers and relax, and you didn't go to Suzhou to handle affairs with me. Are you going to listen to the customs and culture along the way from me? Then why not buy local governments and magazines and go back to the capital to check it out, so you can save the trouble and troubles along the way."

Luo Sigong and Zhang Zhiji were no longer sleepy after washing and cleaning up. Listening to Zhu Youjian nagging there, Zhang Zhiji couldn't help complaining: "Okay, okay, I'll accept you, I can nag you more than my father, let's go with you."

The three of them left the room and went downstairs. Jinxiu, Gao Han and Hu Bao had been waiting there for a long time, and the meal had been prepared for several people. After breakfast, they left the inn.
