"You stole it,"

The swineherd sneered, pointed at the big fat pig he was leading with the bamboo stick in his hand, and teased:

"My pig also walked by you, could it be that the pig stole it?"

The old man was choked and speechless. He didn't expect that the other party stole the money. He didn't have the slightest sense of guilt, and he made such a justifiable sophistry.

He was speechless for a while, his face flushed red.

"I also suspect it was stolen by a pig!"

A clear and bright male voice came from outside the crowd, which shocked the onlookers and turned their heads to see who said such shocking words.

The crowd parted, revealing a young man wearing a student gown, with a face as black as charcoal, and a crescent moon mark between his eyebrows.

Jiang Yi knew at a glance that the person who came was undoubtedly Bao Zheng, the protagonist of this world.

Bao Zheng came to the middle of the dispute between the two, looked at the swineherd and said: "This handsome man should not be able to steal, but the old man's money was indeed stolen. So, I think you are right, the money It must have been stolen by your pig."

"how do you want to do it?"

The swineherd only felt that the black-faced young man in front of him might have a brain problem, and would think that the pig stole the money, but the other party was speaking for him after all, so it was hard to refute.

Bao Zheng raised his hand and pointed at the pig: "Since it is suspected, I will naturally interrogate this big fat pig."

Hearing him say unreliable words so seriously, everyone burst into laughter.

Bao Zheng acted as if he hadn't heard the laughter of the crowd, pointed at the big fat pig with righteousness, and scolded loudly: "You big fat pig is too presumptuous and arrogant. I'm interrogating you here, but you dare not kneel down!" Down, but still lying on the ground."

"Really shameless."

"It seems that if you don't beat you, you won't be recruited."

As he spoke, he snatched the bamboo stick from the swineherd's hand and hit the pig twice.

The big fat pig tilted its head, glanced at the dark and eccentric man, twisted its fat buttocks, and groaned and chirped twice.

"Just recruit."

Bao Zheng bent down and moved close to the pig's mouth, pretending to be listening, as if he really understood what the pig said, nodding repeatedly while listening.

After listening for a while, he got up and said to the audience: "The criminal pig has already confessed. It has a high hall and children. It stole people's money because of life difficulties."

"If everyone wants to know where the money is, as long as everyone does a good job and donates a penny so that their family's life can be guaranteed after they are imprisoned, it will tell everyone."

"How about it, if everyone wants to know where the stolen money is, how about donating a penny?"

As Bao Zheng said, he asked a peddler at the side for a bowl of salt water, and took the bowl and asked everyone for a penny.

The onlookers were surprised and interesting to hear what he said, and they wanted to give a penny, but they were afraid that it was a scam, so they hesitated and did not move.

At this moment, a white-faced scholar stepped forward, raised his hand and put a copper plate into the bowl.

Bao Zheng couldn't help being slightly stunned when he saw him, but the person who came was his academy classmate, Gongsun Ce.

Jiang Yi saw that Gongsun Ce looked much better than the dark Bao Zheng, and he was like a gentle and elegant young man.

Seeing that someone took the lead in giving money, many people began to dig out their pockets and put a penny into the bowl.

After turning around like this, Bao Zheng asked for seven or eight Wen, then looked at the swineherd again: "Brother, don't you want to know where the stolen money is?"

The swineherd didn't care, he took out a copper plate and put it in the bowl.

The copper coin fell into the salt water with a thud, then sank to the bottom of the bowl, and a layer of oily flowers floated on the surface of the water.

Bao Zheng looked at the oil on the water surface, and smiled confidently: "The criminal has been recruited, and the stolen money is on this person."

As he spoke, he grabbed the swineherd's hand and raised it up.

"Hmph, you think I'm stupid, can pigs talk?" The swineherd was startled, and retorted with anger on his face.

Jiang Yi, who had been watching from the sidelines, took a step forward, shook his head and said with a smile, "Pigs can't talk, but money can."

"The copper coins you just took out are covered with oil, which has already exposed you. This old man who sells sesame seed cakes collects money with oily hands every day. Only his money has so much oil on it."

After hearing Jiang Yi's explanation, everyone understood what was going on, and they couldn't help but suddenly said: "So that's it. It seems that this swineherd stole this old man's money."

Bao Zheng glanced at Jiang Yi in surprise, nodded, "That's right, that's it."

Then he pointed at the swineherd sternly: "What else do you have to say?"

The swineherd didn't expect to expose himself with a copper coin, and was speechless for a while, not knowing how to refute.

After the old man who sold sesame seed cakes took back his stolen money, he looked at Bao Zheng gratefully, and said, "Thank you, sir, may I ask your master's name?"

"Bao Zheng." Bao Zheng cupped his hands and saluted.

"It's really smart. This scholar is amazing, and he will definitely be a good official in the future." Onlookers sighed.

Gongsun Ce looked at Bao Zheng, who was surrounded by the crowd and praised repeatedly, curled his lips in disdain, and walked away.

When the crowd dispersed, Bao Zheng remembered that he had to deliver food to his old lady, so he ran away in a hurry.

Jiang Yi looked at his receding back and thought to himself: From this point of view, now is the time for the plot to begin.

Next should be the case of the successive killings of the Crown Prince of Korea and the Seventh Prince.

Jiang Yi recalled the plot in his heart, and went to the inn on the street to find a place to stay.
