, very familiar.Even with your eyes closed, you can figure out the face value of the bank note. "

"The steward must be very good at distinguishing the authenticity of bank notes. I don't know if you can tell with your eyes closed. I like to read some anecdotes, and I happen to know that money can talk. I don't know if the steward can cooperate. Next, let us perform together. You only need to choose the fake one among the three silver tickets to prove your innocence."

You can tell money by the touch, he readily agreed.

"I happen to have a fake bank note of 50 taels. My mother asked me to use it for acquaintance. I am afraid that I will encounter some habitual thieves. Can the steward borrow a bank note for use? I don't know if anyone can take out a bank note Tickets will be returned as soon as they are used up.”

Yan Shu handed him a thousand tael banknote, and Kou Que repeatedly said thank you.

The steward deliberately took out a bank note of one hundred taels.

Blindfolding the steward, Kou Que took three banknotes and mixed them well.Pass it to the steward and let him choose.The stewards got their hands one by one, and just the face value of the identification was confirmed.

Lifting off the black veil, the steward saw the 50 taels of silver in his hand proudly.

Everyone cheered, but Kou Que grabbed his hand and said, "It's him who can't tell the money."

The crowd was in an uproar.

3. Iron Mouth Kou Laoxi

Yan Shu was thoughtful, wondering how this strange scholar calculated.

The big man was sullen, his veins were bulging, he cursed and threatened again and again.

"You are a scholar who spouts blood. Believe it or not, I will sue you and this person to the Yamen, and take away your qualifications for the scientific examination in Beijing."

Kou Que touched his face, the saliva was drooling, tsk tsk, so much, saliva splashed everywhere. "Don't be impatient, listen to me one by one."

The curiosity of the onlookers was suddenly aroused. This matter is really full of twists and turns. Are there constant twists and turns?

Kou Que put the three banknotes in his hands, held them up to the sun, and asked, "Do you see the difference between the three banknotes with different denominations?"

Someone approached and looked carefully and replied: "The three banknotes all look real, they are not blurred, and there is no lack of proof that the banknotes should have. There is no difference. The only difference is the face value."

After the man finished speaking, everyone laughed.

"My 50 tael silver note is real, and this is the real counterfeit silver note." Kou Que said seriously while holding the [-] tael silver note.

Ah, everyone was amazed and still puzzled.

Kou Que said unhurriedly: "Everyone has a preconceived mentality. I will tell everyone that my bank note is fake. You all accept this knowledge in your heart, and the manager also accepts it. Then I let When he picks out the fake banknotes, he can be sure by identifying the 50 taels of banknotes. Are you right?"

"Yes, this really saves time." Everyone responded one after another.

"Because when a person is blindfolded and loses support all of a sudden, he will be afraid in his heart and lose confidence in his own decisions. Therefore, when he distinguishes counterfeit money, he can't believe his own judgment. So to be on the safe side, he It's better to choose the one that identifies me, three different denominations, even if you are blindfolded, you can easily find it."

"Then why can you be sure that the one hundred taels silver note is fake?" Someone asked doubtfully.

Kou Que walked up to the little brother who had been in a daze, "Lend me your bank note, okay?"

The little brother hurriedly took it out, this person might be able to clear up his grievances.

Kou Que lined up the ten banknotes one by one, and put the one hundred taels together.He invited several onlookers to come forward and take a closer look.

"Have you found any similarities?"

A restaurant owner suddenly shouted, "Why does this bank note have a slight fishy smell?"

The rest of the people also sniffed carefully, and there was indeed a fishy smell that had not yet dispersed.

"So, the answer is very clear. Since these ten pictures are fake, then the one with the same fishy smell is also fake."

Kou Que grabbed the steward's clothes, and hurriedly came over to smell it with a sensitive nose. Indeed, the steward's clothes really had a fishy smell that hadn't dissipated, while the little brother only had a very faint smell of sweat and alkali.

The rest of the people also claimed to have a keen sense of smell, so they crowded around in a serious manner.

"This was a well-planned scam from beginning to end. You first bought this little brother's jade with false good intentions, because you dressed like a rich man, and you deliberately charged a high price. My little brother is inexperienced, so naturally Yes. Then you purposely let these two helpers stop this little brother. First, you are afraid that this little brother will exchange money or find someone to verify his secrets. Second, you can’t blackmail people if you can’t stop him. After a while, you hurried away Back, you said these words with a reason that you fabricated a long time ago, and you also specially asked me, a student from a foreign country rushing to take the exam, to be a witness. In this way, even if you are meeting an official, you have a reason and a witness, and you can easily win the case. Dare to ask? Am I right, liar?"

The big man's face was red, his teeth were grinning, he didn't care, "what's the matter?"

Kou Que didn’t have the one who won’t cry when he sees the coffin. Instead, he picked up the protagonist who was neglected by everyone——Yu Zhu, “If I’m not wrong, this should be fake.”

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and everyone was amazed.

"Because it has been swapped, it's just a counterfeit. Presumably this habitual thief should have many other counterfeit products besides jade beads."

Everyone clapped their hands.

Yan Shu's eyes narrowed. This strange scholar still has some skills, and his analysis is logical, but it seems that this matter may not end well.

Sure enough, the habitual thief smiled arrogantly and said, "Do you know who I am, sir? I am Zhao Guojiu's cousin. If you dare to slander me, I will make you feel uneasy."

The onlookers left one after another with a swipe, like frightened birds.

At this moment, a ray of light collided like jade and stones, and the sound of green bamboo joints stopped everyone from running around: "Wait a minute. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are people who dare to speak wild words and are lawless."

"Who are you, dare to challenge this uncle. Is it too long to be dead? I think you are tired of working...?" Before the word "greasy" came out, half of his face was dumped by Lao Gao abruptly.A cold sword glowing with lingling brilliance was pressed against his cheek tightly, and it could penetrate into the bones with a narrow cut. He seemed to hear the sound of his own teeth breaking.

The well-dressed man with a cold sword in his hand exuded an aura of keeping strangers away, and whispered, "Do you know who you are talking about?"

"Killing a slut like you will only pollute my sword." The sword swung at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and everyone only saw the teeth that fell all over the place and the person who claimed to be the cousin of the country's uncle died. He peed his pants and collapsed to the ground.

Everyone saw that the cold and well-dressed man wielding a sword swished like an arrow that had been swung back.

However, people's eyes could not help but stare at the people in the sedan chair.

It was a high-standard eight-lift soft sedan chair, with a gold-soap woven roof and beautiful curtains. The people who carried the sedan chair were all extraordinary people, with strong physiques, and everyone wore knives.That intoxicating voice came from inside the sedan chair.

The indifferent man stood at the front of the sedan chair with solemn eyes, and everyone guessed who was in the sedan chair.

The indifferent man opened his lips, "King Xuxian is here, why don't you bow down?"

Hula Hula, everyone was shocked, and they all prostrated themselves on the ground.

The indifferent man pointed his sword at Kou Que.

"Ji Rui, step back." An order came from the sedan chair.

Everyone knelt down, but Kou Que stood still in a daze.

The light-white hand lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, only revealing the sharp and jade-white chin. "Is that Kou Que?"

Kou Que shuddered and fell to his knees with a slap.

There was a very light laugh from the people in the sedan chair.

"Old Kou, not bad."

"Ji Rui, let's go." The tail of his eyes swept across the decadent habitual thief.

"Get up the sedan chair." The indifferent man with the sword said.

Then, a man dressed in black leather with a sword came out from the side of the sedan chair, he neatly tied up the habitual thief, and directly escorted him to the inspector of the capital.There is also a little brother who is as dumb as a chicken.

Only then did Yan Shu raise his head and stare blankly at the people in the sedan chair going away, even though the curtain had been lowered.

Yan Shu stood up and pulled up Kou Que who was still in a daze.

"I'm Yan Shu, a student from Kyoto, named Zizhong. May I ask where you are from? I admire your ability to solve cases, but there is one thing I don't know. How did you know that the man smelled like fish?"

"I am a student from Taiyuan County, Shanxi Province. My name is Kou Que, and my style name is Zhuzi. My bullfinch can smell all kinds of subtle smells."

"Who was that King Xu Xian just now?" Kou Que asked hurriedly.

"That's the only prince in the dynasty, the younger brother of the Supreme Emperor." A trace of doubt crossed Yan Shu's mind, why did King Xu Xian know that Kou Que was from Shanxi?

"Hey, I see. No wonder he called me Kou Laoxi!"

Yan Shu smiled slightly, "You and I hit it off right away, if you like it, come find me at my residence or in Pingkang when you have time." Then he walked away.

Suddenly, he looked at the bank note in his hand and slapped his head. "Hey, your banknote."

Yan Shu didn't look back, and said with a smile, "Save the vinegar."

"Oh, alas, it's not that I can't use so much."

At this moment, the Fourth Young Master of Jingdu walked up to Kou Que, and the three of them said in a slightly envious tone, "Congratulations, you have won the favor of King Xuxian."

Only Du Ji spit out a sentence: "Small tricks are insulting to gentleness."

Kou Que straightened up in a daze, his face full of innocence.

At this time, King Xuxian was smiling leisurely in the sedan chair.Sure enough, the scientific research was just around the corner, and Kyoto was indeed much more lively.No, it was exciting to watch again.

His eyebrows turned to see countless intoxicants.His eyes looked out to the noisy place through the tulle.

Across the crowd, a man with a quiet face was selling a guqin at a stall.

A square of sackcloth was spread on the stall, and the sackcloth
