Something's wrong with the stone
This sentence happened to be heard by the leading guard guarding the city gate.
He immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
"The stone is too light."
"Too light?" said the guard, rolling up his sleeves, "Show me."
He picked up the stone.
Get it in your hand.
Really light!
Weird!
The leading guard immediately put the stone on the ground and asked the old merchant, "Why is this stone so light?"
The old merchant stared at the stone, frowned and wondered: "How can the stone be light? Impossible."
"Then move it yourself."
The old merchants hurried to try it out for themselves.
If you don't try, you won't know, try it and be shocked!
"How... how could this be?"
How can such a big rock be so light
like hollow!
When the guard's eyes tightened, he immediately became vigilant and asked, "Is there something in this stone that shouldn't be contained?"
"Sir, these are gambling stones! How can there be things that shouldn't be in the gambling stones? And... I don't know how this stone is so light. Before I came, I checked it myself, and there was no such thing. a situation."
"Then open it and see."
"useless!"
"why?"
"Didn't Xiao Xiao just say it? These are all gambling stones, and they are to be sold to others. If they are opened, how can I do this business?"
Gambling stone gambling stone, as the name suggests, is used for gambling.
Some people will identify whether the stone has precious jade according to the stone size, shape, texture on the stone... and choose to buy these "stones".
Some people buy it back and open it, and there are stones in it, but some people make the right bet and get rich overnight.
Now that the guards want to open it, the old merchants certainly don't allow it!
But the guard was furious and wanted to pull out the long sword on his waist, saying, "I now suspect that there is something wrong with your stone. There may be something shady inside. Open it now. Come on, open the stone."
One order!
The old businessman is really helpless.
Had to stand aside and watch.
The people at the gate of the city also all looked at the strange stone.
Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu were no exception.
They also wondered why the stone was so light
Could there be something weird in there
Soon, the city gate officer brought a tool to open the stone.
The stone was chipped away in a few moments.
At the moment when it was chiseled, something rolled out from inside.
The thing rolled twice on the ground.
just stop!
When everyone saw it, they were stunned on the spot!
For three seconds, time seemed to stand still.
immediately-
"what!"
The crowd began to panic.
They all fled.
Or squeeze together.
Terrified.
However, Ji Yunshu, Jing Rong and the others stood there calmly.
Quietly staring at the "weird" thing on the ground.
A... Skull!
The guards at the city gate were also completely shocked.
It was the first time they had encountered such a thing.
There was a skull in the stone!
The leading guard almost without hesitation, immediately pointed at the old businessman and his buddy, and ordered, "Catch it up."
Seven or eight guards rushed out and immediately surrounded those merchants.
The old merchant and his guys were also stunned.
They all fell to the ground.
The old merchant said, "Master, this... This has nothing to do with me!"
"It has nothing to do with you? There are skulls hidden in the stone. How dare you say it has nothing to do with you? Say, where did this thing come from?"
"I don't know! My lord, I really don't know."
"This is a murder case. If you don't recruit it, you will have your good fruit to eat."
"Sir... You are wronged!"
"The stone is yours, the skull is inside, and you dare to call out injustice." The leading guards followed the little guards next to them: "Quickly go to the city department and report the matter."
"Yes!" The little guard went away.
Those merchants were detained directly at the city gate.
Due to the high possibility of involving a murder case, the guards at the city gate had to immediately order to temporarily block the main entrance and open a door on the left to allow people to enter and exit.
Jingrong's carriage was blocked by those stones and the wheels were broken, so it could only stay where it was.
Ji Yunshu kept staring when the skull rolled out.
According to the characteristics of the skull, it is a woman!
And the time of death should be more than three years.
But the specific needs to be further checked to know.
Jing Rong knew what she was thinking, pulled her hand, and lowered her voice to remind: "This matter has nothing to do with us, this is Gaoding, don't interfere."
"I understand."
"Don't worry, someone will check it out. If the big Gao Ding doesn't even have a person to solve the case, it's a joke."
She nodded.
After they entered the city, they found several inns along the way.
But it's all full!
After all, the imperial examination is imminent.
Song Zhi said: "Master Jing, now there are people everywhere in Gaoding, the imperial examination is approaching, and all the inns are full. If you don't dislike it, why don't you live with me! Before I came, Master Zhang gave me a The key, the key to his ancestral house, should be enough for us to live together."
Bai Yin was the first to refuse.
"No, Gao Ding is so big, it's impossible not to have an inn."
"But it's more convenient to live in a private house. Although I don't know why you came to Gaoding? But things like that happened in the mountain inn before. If you stay in the inn again, it must be unsafe, so stay with me. "
Song Zhi was on the point!
Inns are really unsafe and inconvenient. Jing Rong was a little shaken and persuaded Bai Yin softly: "We still don't know when we will find that person, in short, everything should be done with caution, if staying in the inn for a long time will not work, it is better to live with that nerd, after all, he is here to participate. The official of the imperial examination, when the time comes, we can let him cover up for us
Cover up your identity. "
Upon hearing this, Bai Yin was shaken.
Think about it.
accepted!
Seiji Department at this time.
Li Cheng has been idle for two days, eating and drinking every day.
Now, he is sitting with his legs crossed and eating melon seeds.
Full of sweet potato shells!
Very happy.
Suddenly, a small official rushed in in a hurry.
He shouted: "Sir, it's not good."
Li Cheng almost choked on this shout.
With an unhappy expression on his face, he glared at Xiaoguan: "What are you shouting? Are you going to choke me to death?"
"Sir, something has happened... something happened!"
"What's up?"
"There is a murder case at the gate of the city!"
Murder
When Li Cheng heard this, his face changed greatly, he sat upright, and asked, "What murder case? Who died? Did Gong Shilin, the minister of Gong Zuo's family, die?"
Uh!
The corner of Xiaoguan's mouth twitched.
Li Cheng is indeed the one who wants to die is Gong Shilin.
In this way, my sister doesn't have to marry him.
He also lost a deadly enemy.
But Xiaoguan said, "Your Excellency has misunderstood. It's not Master Gong. It's a skull that has emerged from a rock. It's now waiting for you to pass."
There is no Dali Temple in Huyi.
There is also no Jingzhao House.
There are only six.
So where things happen, they will do it by themselves.
The murder case at the city gate belongs to the city department.
In other words, Li Cheng took over the case.
Hearing that there were skeletons in the stone, Li Cheng was instantly refreshed.
This is something new!
For so many years, he has never heard of it.
Throw the melon seeds in your hand to the ground.
He left the house without looking back.
Said: "Let's go and watch the fun!"
Xiaoguan is ashamed! Follow right away.
