I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 425: Impersonation (asking for monthly ticket)

On the day of the winter solstice, every household in Shengjing City was preparing ingredients for making dumplings, and children were chasing and playing in the streets, singing nursery rhymes.

"Winter Solstice is here, Winter Solstice is here, every household is making dumplings. If you don't eat dumplings during the Winter Solstice, your ears will freeze off and no one will care."

Near the Prime Minister's Mansion, an old man who got up early to sell vegetables set up his stall and put out fresh radishes and cabbages.

"Old Zhang, give me two carrots."

Hearing the familiar voice, the old man looked up and saw a middle-aged man wearing an ordinary cotton-padded jacket and carrying a vegetable basket in front of the stall. He quickly picked up two radishes that looked good.

"Hey, Prime Minister, why are you here to buy vegetables in person?"

Zuo Jin also smiled and said, "During the winter solstice, buy some radishes and mutton and make some dumplings."

He took the radish and took out a few copper coins from his waistband. Zuo Jin also stretched out his hand to hand them over. The old man bent over and took them with both hands. When the people walked away, the old man looked happy. He took out a handkerchief from his arms and carefully wrapped the copper coins, preparing to take them back home as New Year's money for his children.

This is the money given by the Prime Minister!

Little did they know that this prime minister was actually played by Hua Qianmian.

Hua Qianmian just pretended to be Zuo Jinye, carrying a basket of vegetables, and walked slowly on the street. According to Zuo Jinye's usual habit, he also ate a bowl of wontons on the side of the street.

Zuo Jinye usually walks around the street like this, and is very approachable, so the people around him did not show too much surprise. When they saw Zuo Jinye from afar, they all looked respectful and smiled, and nodded in greeting.

That kind of situation where everyone knelt down in a hurry had happened a few years ago and had been corrected by Zuo Jinye.

As long as Zuo Jin didn't wear his official uniform when going out, no one would kneel down to him. Everyone tacitly treated him as an ordinary person in the city.

"You don't look well, are you sick?" the lady selling wontons asked with concern when she came to collect the bowls.

Hua Qianmian smiled calmly, coughed twice and said, "I just caught a cold, it's nothing serious."

After putting down the money, Hua Qianmian continued walking on the street with the basket, buying onions, ginger, garlic, mutton, red paper, and pens and ink, as usual.

The Jinwu Guards were running hurriedly on the road. When they saw Hua Qianmian, they would stop, bow and greet her before leaving in a hurry.

Due to the martial law in Shengjing City in recent days, many merchants were trapped in the city and unable to leave. Too many people gathered, and they didn't quite understand the rules of Shengjing City, so they always caused trouble. The brothers of the Jinwu Guards were busy day and night.

Zuo Jin never hid his past as an actor, and occasionally went to teahouses to listen to stories or to theaters to watch plays.

When Hua Qianmian walked into a teahouse and saw that there were many people inside, she went in and listened to storytelling for a while, so that more people would see her and regard her as the real Zuo Jinye.

The news that the Left Prime Minister suddenly appeared on the street quickly reached the Evil Suppression Office.

Qiu Wanjun knew that Zuo Jin had also gone to Tubo, and was very confused about this, so he asked Qiu Siming to find out.

Unfortunately, before Qiu Siming had the chance to look for Zuo Jinye, news came from the Inspection Office that the intruder had been found.

Seeing this, Qiu Wanjun could only let Qiu Siming take people to catch the intruder first.

After all, from a normal point of view, only a crazy person would pretend to be Zuo Jinye, since he is the prime minister of the current dynasty and the most powerful person in Daxuan now.

In this way, Hua Qianmian wandered around the city for half a day, passed by several crowded places, and called a carriage to take him to the most lively West Market to buy some tea bricks.

Estimates of the right time, Hua Qianmian winked at Cheng Ge, who had been waiting on the roadside and was playing the role of Meng's servant. Cheng Ge secretly released a small snake, and bursts of exclamations immediately broke out in the teahouse.

Sang Que in another place noticed the movement here and knew it was a signal for action. With the help of Yin Tong's dismemberment ability, he tore off the skin of Li Ma Ma from his body, restored his true appearance, and exposed himself to the eyes of the Evil Suppression Division.

Hua Qianmian, who played Zuo Jinye, secretly used the instantaneous talisman given by Yao Zhen and disappeared in the busiest street in Xishi in front of everyone.

Soon, the Jinwu Guards and the day patrol officers of the Suppression of Evils came to the West Market, searching for the traces of Sangque. When Qiu Siming personally led the team and found Sangque according to the directions in the mirror, he saw Zuo Jin sitting at a roadside tea stall, with a basket full of vegetables and meat at his feet, drinking tea leisurely.

The owner of the tea stall huddled in the corner in fear, looking at the girl in black standing opposite Zuo Jinye.

The girl had an expressionless face, black chains tied around her body, and sat there staring at Zuo Jinye.

Qiu Siming recognized at a glance that the girl was tied with the soul-catching rope of the Black Impermanence controlled by the Left Prime Minister. Anyone locked by the soul-catching rope would have no way to escape.

"Please forgive me, Prime Minister. It is our fault that you personally arrested the intruder!"

Qiu Siming did not doubt Zuo Jinye in front of him at all, and immediately bowed and confessed his crime.

Sang Que and Hua Qianmian were secretly observing Qiu Siming's reaction. From his expression, he didn't know the relationship between Zuo Jinye and Sang Que.

"Cough, cough, cough."

There was a layer of blood on Zuo Jinye's face, which was hard for ordinary people to see and they would only think that Zuo Jinye looked bad, but the people from the Evil Suppression Bureau could clearly see this layer of blood, just like when they met Prime Minister Zuo before.

"Prepare the car and go back to the Evil Suppression Division."

Zuo Jin also gave a faint instruction, and Qiu Siming immediately asked someone to pull a carriage.

When he was about to take Sang Que away from Zuo Jinye, Zuo Jinye stopped him and motioned for Sang Que to ride in a carriage with him.

Qiu Siming felt that there was a subtle relationship between Zuo Jinye and Sang Que, but this did not make him doubt Zuo Jinye. Instead, he remembered his grandfather Qiu Wanjun's advice.

If you find a girl around 18 years old among the intruders, you must treat her with caution and not kill her directly.

When Qiu Siming asked the reason, Qiu Wanjun just said that the girl had a close relationship with the Prime Minister.

Now it seems that it is true.

The carriage drove all the way to the main entrance of the Evil Suppression Division. Qiu Siming was about to help Zuo Jinye escort Sang Que in when two day tour team leaders came running over and whispered something in Qiu Siming's ear.

Zuo Jin also glanced at Sang Que and ordered, "Go and do your thing. They still have a few accomplices in the city. Don't let them disturb the people in the city."

"Yes!"

Zuo Jin's expression was calm and a little cold, and just standing there made people feel pressured.

Qiu Siming did not dare to delay and immediately mobilized most of his men to go into the city to arrest people.

After all, in Qiu Siming's opinion, his grandfather Qiu Wanjun is in charge of the Suppression of Evils Division, and now the Prime Minister has also returned to the Suppression of Evils Division. In the huge Shengjing city, this is the safest place and there will be no trouble.

After everyone left, the only people left at the entrance of the Evil Suppression Bureau were Hua Qianmian, who was disguised as Zuo Jinye, and the tied-up Sang Que. The two exchanged glances without saying a word.

Hua Qianmian waved his hand, and the shadow of Black Impermanence flashed behind Sang Que. The soul-catching rope on his body made a sound, and an invisible force pulled Sang Que and followed Hua Qianmian up the steps of the Evil Suppression Division.

Under the plaque at the main entrance of the Evil Suppression Bureau, the exquisite and simple Bagua mirror reflected the figures of two people on the stairs. Zuo Jin in the mirror was also slightly distorted. Hua Qianmian also felt the pressure from the mirror, making her Painted Skin Ghost a little restless.

Fortunately, this restlessness could be suppressed, and no one outside the door saw the strange vision in the mirror, so Hua Qianmian quickened his pace.

After successfully crossing the threshold of the Evil Suppression Bureau, Hua Qianmian had no time to breathe a sigh of relief before she saw Qiu Wanjun standing at the door of the conference hall like an iron tower, with a murderous aura from years of fighting on the battlefield, and he was squinting his eyes to look them up and down.

Hua Qianmian couldn't help but feel nervous. Only if they deceived Qiu Wanjun could they truly pass.

See you tomorrow~
