Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

The capital city is very busy now, with vendors selling things roaming the streets and alleys. This is also the reason why Lei Xincheng can't catch those selling counterfeit goods.

Xu Jinyu and Zuo Yuanying merged into the crowd and quickly found their target.

A candle seller.

The vendor was particularly enthusiastic when he saw someone standing in front of his bicycle.

"My two lords, do you want candles? My candles are made of pure beeswax, which is absolutely useful, even better than oil lamps. If you use oil lamps for one night, your nostrils will be black the next day."

Xu Jinyu looked at the enthusiastic vendor with dead fish eyes: "So you use mud to make candles, and then apply a layer of sheep oil on the outside of the candles. This will ensure that the candles cannot be lit, and there will be no problem of black nostrils."

The vendor's enthusiastic smile froze, as he met an old customer.

But soon the vendor's face was filled with smiles again: "Gentlemen, I just earned some hard-earned money. How about you forgive me this time? I will never sell fake goods again."

"I believe you ghost!"

Zuo Yuanying waved his hand and the bailiffs behind him rushed up and arrested the peddler.

One of the yamen runners was particularly indignant: "Great, I finally caught you. You sold me fake candles and caused me and my wife to have a big fight."

Hawker???

The hawker became even more depressed, as he had fallen into the hands of his victim again.

"Selling silk cloth, the best silk cloth. Look at the color and the exquisite patterns. If it weren't for the fact that I'm not selling it now, I wouldn't be willing to sell it."

A middle-aged man was shouting enthusiastically.

The color of the silk cloth was indeed nice, attracting many women to come and pick and choose.

This time the silk cloth is real, but...

Xu Jinyu: "Boss, you applied glue to the silk cloth to improve its color, and then sold it at a high price. This is a bit unethical!"

The scene was quiet for a moment, and the next moment a woman who had already bought the silk cloth jumped up and threw the silk cloth she had just bought in the boss's face.

"You bastard! You lied to me. Can the silk cloth that has been brushed still be used?"

"asshole!"

"fraud!"

"Giving birth to a son without an asshole!"

······

Xu Jinyu retired after accomplishing his mission and left the crowd.

Zuo Yuanying asked curiously, "Aren't you going to let the yamen runners catch you?"

Xu Jinyu: "This is a quality issue, not a scam. She will behave herself after being punished once. Her business will not be good in the future. If she wants to improve her business, she can only do business with integrity."

"Keep looking for scammers."

When he found the next liar, Xu Jinyu fell silent.

Looking at the vendor's enthusiastic face, she really wanted to ask: "Where is your conscience?"

Because the vendor was selling fake roast chicken and roast duck. Xu Jinyu had only seen water-injected pork and beef, or chickens and ducks stuffed with sand to fake the weight. This was the first time he had seen roast chicken and roast duck made of mud.

The vendor saw someone standing in front of the stall and greeted him warmly: "Sir, would you like some roast chicken? Our roast chicken is well known to everyone. The taste is second to none."

[It tastes amazing. Why don't you try one of your roast chickens, where only the head and feet are real.]

Zuo Yuanying pursed her lips and tried to hold back her laughter. This liar was really creative.

"Come, come, come!" Zuo Yuanying waved.

"Take a bite of your roast chicken and show me how delicious it is."

When the peddler saw the half-smile on Zuo Yuanying's face, he knew his trick had been exposed. Without saying a word, he ran away, even leaving behind his bicycle.

The bailiff who was hiding in the corner behind rushed out and chased the peddler.

Xu Jinyu took out the "chickens and ducks" loaded on the back of the peddler's bicycle, looked through them, and gave one to Zuo Yuanying.

The heavy feeling made Zuo Yuanying almost drop it.

"How on earth were those people deceived by this weight?"

Xu Jinyu was looking through the boxes to see if there were any genuine ones. Without even turning around, he answered Zuo Yuanying, "Not everyone has the money to buy chickens and ducks. People who buy them occasionally don't know what the weight of a chicken or duck is. Even if they think something is wrong, how many people would have thought that a vendor would be so unscrupulous as to use mud to make a roast chicken? The only real thing on this roast chicken is the head and legs."

Zuo Yuanying curiously opened the oil paper package, pulled it, and really pulled a chicken leg off the mud lump, and then broke the mud lump apart bit by bit.

There was not a single bone in it. The so-called roast chicken only had two chicken feet and a head, and they didn't even give away the chicken neck.

"This is too immoral." Zuo Yuanying couldn't help but curse.

"Let's continue!"

Then the entire capital was swept away.

Those who sell fake medicine, those who sell water-injected meat, those who sell low-quality paper as good paper, those who sell water-soaked linen...

Regardless of whether the goods were fake or of poor quality, they were swept away by Xu Jinyu and the Jingzhao Yin's runners, and the atmosphere in the entire capital was cleared up.

On the way to court, Xu Jinyu heard praises all the way.

An old Hanlin from the Hanlin Academy came to Xu Jinyu to express his gratitude, "Master Xu, you don't know, I met a man selling frosting candy on the street last time, and I was too lazy to walk, so I bought some. Who knew that when I went home and made sugar water for my granddaughter to drink with the frosting candy, it turned out to be sour. My granddaughter cried loudly and said that I lied to her. I haven't coaxed her back yet, and she turns her back when she sees me."

"I also want to thank Lord Xu for catching that vendor. I am finally cleared of all charges."

The old Hanlin said this with a smile on his face.

This old Hanlin was well-known for his love for his granddaughter. If his granddaughter ignored him, he would be extremely anxious.

Xu Jinyu smiled slightly and accepted the old Hanlin's thanks.

[Alum is pretending to be frosted sugar, is it drinkable? How can this vendor be so wicked? Alum is a slightly poisonous substance. I wonder if this adult's granddaughter drank it? ]

Old Hanlin: No, I have to go to Jingzhao Yin after the court is dismissed. It’s too easy for this peddler to just be sentenced to imprisonment.

"Sir Xu, I once bought fake antiques and calligraphy and paintings. Would you like to take care of this when you have time?" Another official came over.

As soon as the words came out, all the officials around him burst into laughter.

"How can you have the nerve to call someone who sells antiques a rip-off?"

The antique business tests one's eyesight. The man who was speaking has poor eyesight, but he still likes to show off by throwing countless amounts of money into the antique shop.

This time he was fooled again. He was so angry and embarrassed that he wanted to come to Xu Jinyu for some comfort.

(It’s almost finished, so I might as well post a little more and finish the rest tomorrow.)
