Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Everyone dug up the ground of the Jin family's old house, and the dazzling golden color made people dizzy.

"Wow..." Bao Yan and the others have never seen anything in the world, squatting by the pit and counting, "Is the Jin family so rich?"

"It's indeed an astonishing amount." Zhao Pu also felt amazing, "But the Jin family is in the gold business, so it's understandable that the family has a lot of gold."

Surrounded by a group of bumpkins who haven't seen much gold, they are amazed.

Bai Yutang stood by and frowned slightly.

On the side, Pang Yu, who was also squatting watching, raised his head and asked him, "Do you feel..."

Bai Yutang nodded.

"What do you think?" Zhan Zhao asked curiously.

"Uh... the color of gold feels a bit dead..." Bai Yutang said, and said to Zhe Ying, "Throw one up."

Zhe Ying was in the pit at the moment, and there was no room for her feet. Seeing that Bai Yutang wanted it, she just reached out and picked it up. It was a golden Buddha.

Zhe Ying raised his hand and threw one up to Bai Yutang.

The fifth master took it, weighed it, and held it in front of his eyes.

Zhe Ying threw two more pieces up, and everyone caught them, they were all dead gold objects.Pang Yu also held one and shook his head, "It doesn't feel right in the hand."

Bai Yutang weighed it again and shook his head, "It's really not right."

"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao wondered.

"It doesn't seem to be gold." The young master also interjected.

At this time, Bai Yutang casually slapped the golden Buddha on the wall beside him, and everyone heard a "pop", and a crack appeared on the Buddha statue.

Bai Yutang brought the golden Buddha over for everyone to see... and saw that it was smashed, and what was even more strange was that the golden Buddha was actually made of stone...

"Is this made of mud?" Zhao Pu also broke one, "It's just a layer of gold on the outside."

"This layer of gold is not good gold. There are a lot of things mixed in. When it is first painted, it should be golden, and it can be faked. But after more than 20 years, the color will die. If it is pure gold, let alone 20 years. It won't look like this in four or fifty years in such an environment." Pang Yu folded his arms, "This vault is full of fakes."

Zhao Pu asked the shadow guards to bring up all the gold objects.

As a result, all the tens of thousands of catties of gold wares were fake.

"What do you mean?" Gongsun wondered, "Is the Jin family selling fake products?"

"Impossible." Bai Yutang shook his head, "The best way to sell fakes is to add other things to the gold. I've never seen such a fake."

"That's right, if it's for takeaway, someone will be arrested and taken to Kaifeng Mansion the next day." Pang Yu shook his head straight, "The Jin family's gold shop is a big business, and my family still has several gold wares made by his family, which are absolutely genuine. "

"And if it's fake, there's no need to build such a big treasury to hide it?" Zhao Pu asked.

Zhan Zhao stroked his chin—it was strange.

At this time, I heard Tianzun say quietly, "No one dies for no reason these days, probably this is the cause of death."

"Is there anything else in the cellar?" Zhan Zhao asked.

The shadow guards searched carefully, and finally Zhe Ying climbed up, "It's strange!"

"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"There is no other exit!" Zhe Ying said.

"Have you found it clearly?" Zhao Pu asked.

Zhe Ying nodded, "The four walls below are sealed, and there is no exit at all. The ground feels like a box!"

"No wonder we haven't found the entrance mechanism after searching for so long. We dare not." Ziying also felt strange.

Everyone looked at each other.

"Considering the hardness of this stone roof..." Bai Yutang frowned, "No matter who made it, it seems that after hiding these fake gold tips, they will not take them out."

Everyone couldn't help frowning—why did they do this?If it is to be destroyed, wouldn't it be enough to drop all of them? Why bother?

"Look for it again." Zhan Zhao signaled Ziying and the others to look for it again, whether there is any account book or something.

Ziying and the others shook their heads, "The bottom has been thoroughly checked, no!"

Everyone couldn't help frowning—then where did the Jin family's wealth go?

……

When we left the Jin family's old house and returned to Kaifeng Mansion, it was almost dark.

Zhan Zhao returned to the courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion, and just sat down, he felt something rub against his leg, looked down, and immediately smiled, it was a little pony.

Zhan Zhao reached out to touch the pony's head, "Why did you come to the yard?"

"You go to see it every afternoon. If you didn't go today, it probably misses you." Yan Bi walked over with a basket, which contained carefully prepared food for Duoduo. The pony will only grow if he eats well. be fast.

"Alas..." Zhan Zhao stroked the pony and sighed deeply.

On the side, Wu Yifu, who was full of sleep in the afternoon, just sat down and looked at him puzzled, "How old are you moaning? What's wrong, there are no clues to the case?"

"There are no clues!" Zhan Zhao nodded, "All the people involved in the Jin family have either died or gone away, and there is not a single one left behind. The other three murders also have no clues at all, and the murderer's actions were too clean. .”

"Maybe it wasn't done by someone!" Pang Yu came over to join in the fun, "I went outside just now, and rumors began to spread in Kaifeng, saying that the young lady of the Jin family came back to take revenge."

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao held his chin in a daze, "Hmm..."

Bai Yutang washed up and came over, sat down beside him, and the little pony immediately stuck to him.

Fifth Master lightly patted Xiao Ma's head, and then heard Zhan Zhao clapping his hands, "There is a move."

Everyone looked at him.

Zhan Zhao asked Zhao Pu who was drinking tea, "How many spies do you have under your command?"

Holding the tea bowl, Zhao Pu snapped his fingers at Ouyang.

Ouyang leaned over, "How much do you want?"

"Can you spread a message throughout Kaifeng City within one or two hours?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Ouyang nodded, "It's not difficult."

Master Bao asked, "Guard Zhan, what's your idea?"

"No matter who the real culprit is, this case is inseparable from the murder case of the Jin family back then. Instead of us looking for the insider, it is better to let the insider come to us!"

Everyone looked at Zhan Zhao.

"Let's spread the news that the young lady of the Jin family has come back to take revenge. None of the insiders from back then can escape. If you want to save your life, come to Kaifeng Mansion. It's the safest place!" Zhan Zhao said, "Anyway, this rumor has spread, maybe There are really a few who are afraid of death, even if one comes here."

Everyone nodded, it was indeed a solution.

So, Ouyang arranged for people to spread the news.

that night.

In the courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion, it was unusually "scary".

Gongsun brought back all the skeletons of the car, spread out more than a dozen white sheets in the courtyard, and a row of lanterns were placed around the courtyard. What about the corpse?

There are a total of 28 corpses brought back from the old house of the Jin family. After Gongsun identified them, there are men, women and children. The backyard of the Jin family is almost as large as the mass grave.

To find out the cause of death and their presumed identities of this group of people, it is necessary to spell out all the corpses, which is very difficult, and the amount of work is huge and it is still a delicate job.

Zhan Zhao and the others were dazzled from watching, how could there be any difference between ribs and ribs, how could they be distinguished?

The shadow guards were responsible for looking for damaged bones for Gongsun to deduce the cause of death.

Everyone was busy until midnight, and nearly half of the work was completed.

Gongsun crossed his arms and said to Zhan Zhao, "Although we haven't finished the fight, the cause of death has been found out."

"How did they all die?"

"All of them were injured by sharp weapons." Gongsun said, "Some had their necks chopped off, and some had a sword in their chests. It feels like..."

"It's almost like meeting a robber?" Bai Yutang asked.

Gongsun nodded.

"What about your identity?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"There are men, women and children." Gongsun said, pointing to the bones, and said, "Some of them seem to be girls in their teens, but when the other party buried the corpses, all the clothes and jewelry were removed!"

"Is it to prevent people from discovering their identity?" Lin Yehuo frowned, "Is it very careful!"

"But we found something after screening." Gongsun said, beckoning to Bao Yan.

Bao Yan held a plate, and there were five identical earrings inside, all of which were very ordinary gold earrings. On the earrings, there was an identical triangular mark, which seemed to be a stamp.

"This is..." Zhan Zhao looked at it, every earring was the same, which meant that at least three girls were wearing the same earrings.

"There is a gold character in this triangle." Pang Yu leaned over and said, "It's the seal of the Jin Family Gold Shop!"

"It's probably worn by the maids of the Jin family." Pang Yu said, "The Jin family is very rich, and those who sell gold must use gold from their own shop to reward the maids, or the family stipulates that the maids wear the same earrings as a uniform. This is Usually, all the maids in my family wear the same accessories, and most of them have the family crest of the Pang family."

Everyone nodded, it is indeed possible.

"So... the corpses of these girls are the maids of the Jin family?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"It's possible." Gongsun nodded, "Anyway, none of the people here were killed."

"The Jin family was murdered collectively?" Bai Yutang frowned.

"The possibility is very high!" Gongsun nodded, "There are also the corpses of several elderly women, who may be Mrs. Jin's wife, and the corpse of a particularly old man who may be Mrs. Jin. There are some young and middle-aged people, who may be servants of the family, wait a minute."

"Didn't the Jin family die one after another?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "Is there the body of the young master of the Jin family?"

"There are no corpses of eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys here." Gongsun shook his head.

"Then where is the grave of the young master of the Jin family?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Uh..." Gongsun shook his head, "The Jin family is so rich, they should have their own ancestral grave, ask the local earthworker if anyone knows?"

Zhan Zhao asked Wang Chao to find several well-known geotechnical workers in Kaifeng Prefecture.

One of the older geotechnical workers said, "The ancestral tomb of the Jin family is probably in the valley of the West Mountain. There is a treasured geomantic land over there. Anyway, there must be no other places, because no one has seen it."

Zhan Zhao then asked if anyone had attended the funeral held by the Jin family back then. Logically speaking, so many people died, there must be something for nothing.

The earthworkers all said no. Originally, they heard that the Jin family had died, and everyone thought there would be business, especially the young master, who died at a young age. He must have not chosen a good grave to make a stele or something, but wait for others The funeral work was done, and the earthworker was not invited.The mourning hall didn't let anyone mourn, so I bought some incense candles and made them myself. At that time, everyone thought that the Jin family might be too sad.

"It's been a long time." Zhan Zhao couldn't help asking, "Has anyone seen the body of the young master of the Jin family?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all said——I heard that he was dead and committed suicide.

"Whether it's suicide or not has to be confirmed by the official." Bai Yutang asked, "What about the previous official in Kaifeng Mansion?"

Zhan Zhao sent someone to look for him, and the person who answered said, "I'm very old, I passed away a few years ago."

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, "Something is wrong!"

Gongsun ran over with a shovel in hand, "Let's dig a grave in the Xishan Col."

Everyone stared at Gongsun.

Zhao Pu looked at the sky, it was dark and windy this month, and he ran to dig a grave in the mountain depression, Gongsun was really in high spirits.

While talking, a guard ran in at the door and said, "Master Zhan, Master Ge is here."

Everyone wondered—why did Ge Qing come here in the middle of the night?Did the emperor ask him to send a message?

After a while, Ge Qing ran in, wearing casual clothes, holding a basket in his hand, it seemed that he was not on duty today.

"Eat chestnuts?" Ge Qing ran in and put a large basket of Tang Dynasty chestnuts on the table, "My grandma gave them."

Everyone looked up at the sky - came to deliver chestnuts in the middle of the night?

"There are rumors outside that the young lady of the Jin family has come back to take revenge. Let those who know about the murder of the Jin family come to Kaifeng Mansion immediately, or they will be in danger of their lives!" Ge Qing was curious, "Is anyone here?"

Everyone is looking at Ouyang - his hands and feet are fast enough!

Ouyang raised his eyebrows - that's natural.

"And then?" Bai Yutang asked Ge Qing, "You came here in the middle of the night to ask this?"

"I heard it on the road just now." Ge Qing said, "I was asleep at first, but I was dreaming and my grandma woke me up. Today I rest and have dinner at my grandparents' house."

Everyone was slightly taken aback. Grandpa Ge Qing's house was across from Xishan. Before, everyone wanted to visit to see if they could find any clues, but they forgot in a hurry. Maybe Ge Qing sent clues.

"Does your grandma know something?" Zhan Zhao hurriedly asked.

"My grandma just said that she really saw the daughter-in-law of the Jin family a few days ago!" Ge Qing said. It was so good that she was woken up by grandma, and she didn't fall asleep most of the night, saying that she must have read it right."

Everyone frowned, "Where did your grandma see them?"

"At home." Ge Qing said, and everyone gasped.

"Of course those two didn't go to my house." Ge Qing waved to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Are you two free? Go to my grandpa's house when you are free, and I'll show you! Check it out, maybe you can hit it tonight."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded, and followed Ge Qing out, preparing to "knock a ghost".

Tianzun and Yinhou had gone to bed early, but Wu Yifu was too sleepy during the day and couldn't sleep at night, so he followed suit.

Long Qiaoguang looked around, and there were three choices in front of him, either to sleep, to watch Gongsun and the others laying out the dead bodies, or to see the female ghost... So, Master Guang cheerfully joined Zhan Zhao and the others to bump into the female ghost went!
