I dress up as the minister of the Ministry of Justice in ancient times. While others investigate major cases, I engage in counter-fraud.
There are many tricks on the streets of Beijing - fake Taoist priests, fake doctors, fake royal businessmen, and fake antique fairs. The "Evil Jade" that Grand Master bought for 800 taels, I took a lick of it and found out that it cost 3 taels. Then the Taishi Mansion was stolen, and he asked me to check it out by name.
An investigation revealed false letters, secret rooms, court intrigues, and more than a dozen old case files left behind by the master.
When I was squatting at the door of the vegetable market and posting notices, no one knew that I had uprooted the largest fraud network in Beijing.
I have a partner who is a wealthy businessman who draws illustrations, a former dynasty boss who keeps a close eye on me, and an uncle who stands at a wonton stand who is always steaming from the pot.
The anti-fraud manual has been published in more than 20 editions, ranging from pig-killing plates to fake approval documents.
He was nicknamed "the number one anti-fraud person in the Ministry of Punishment".
As for why he is the first person? Because I am the only one in the entire Criminal Department who does this.
The story in the capital is still going on, the wonton stall is still steaming, and the old case file left by the master is still a few pages away. Su Wan squatted at the door of the vegetable market and ate sesame seed cakes, thinking: Let's live life like this. Good.
