"How dare I fool you? Besides, many villagers know where our piece of shady roof came from. My boss fished it out three years ago."
"When I was fishing for this thing, I asked an expert to give me advice. I set a net in the middle of the water city. The effect was particularly good. In order to catch this thing, my boss dropped his blood. It was originally dedicated to the Dragon King.
Only after killing a dozen chickens and two sheep will the merits be considered complete."
After Xie Wang finished what she said, she saw Fang Linyan staring at her without saying a word, then reaching out and slowly pulling out the Muramasa. Probably because Fang Linyan deliberately slowed down, the blade was so close to the blade.
The friction sound of the sheath was particularly harsh and terrifying.
Seeing Fang Linyan draw his sword at the slightest disagreement, the woman also panicked and said hurriedly:
"Sir, uncle! If we have something to say, can't we talk it over? Why don't we just move?"
Suddenly, the sword flashed, and Xie Wang was shocked to find that her eyes were covered, and a large amount of things poured down. After a closer look, she found that it was hair. Not only that, but there was also a mass of bloody things next to it.
It’s an ear!!
Fang Linyan's knife chopped off her ear and messed up her hair!
After staying for a few seconds, Xie Wang felt severe pain in her ears. She immediately fell to the ground and started crying and screaming, but it was of no use.
She used her usual invincible surefire moves: rolling around, hugging her legs and grabbing at her legs. However, she was kicked by a cold-faced man who was approaching. She was immediately heartbroken and huddled on the ground, shaking for a long time.
I couldn't even breathe for a long time.
Only then did Wang Xie realize that he had encountered a group of desperadoes who killed without batting an eyelid. Under such circumstances, let alone wallowing and acting recklessly, it would be of no use even if they were hanged here immediately.
At this time, Fang Linyan said calmly:
"I have always been a very reasonable and trustworthy person. I have made it clear before that if you talk nonsense, you will definitely suffer."
Having said this, Fang Linyan picked up the two tile fragments, which are what the country people call Yin tiles, and then said calmly:
"This underwater sunken city can basically be determined to have sunk to the bottom of the lake at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. The tiles at this time were almost all decorated with dragon patterns, because this was the pattern favored by the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty."
Then Fang Linyan pointed at the two yin tile fragments and said:
"But, without exception, your two Yin tile fragments all have the word "乐" on them! One has the word "乐" and the other has the word "无".
"Generally before the Tang Dynasty, words were inscribed on the tiles, and they usually expressed auspicious words, such as Tianwuji, Changle Weiyang!"
"So, you said this thing was fished out from the sinking city under the water? Haha, do you really think I'm the stupid man and woman around here?"
Xie Wang was stunned, but her sharp mouth always wanted to be effective, so she actually said stubbornly:
"Then the Ming Dynasty wouldn't allow people to have tiles with inscriptions on them to play with!"
Fang Linyan swung the knife again, blood spattered, and another ear flew up. Then the old woman finally understood the truth that disaster comes from the mouth. She fell to the ground again and screamed in pain for a while, and then looked at Fang Linyan in fear again.
.
Fang Linyan shook his head and said:
"It seems that you haven't understood my rules yet. It doesn't matter. Two ears are gone, as well as fingers. The fingers are chopped off, and there are toes. Regarding your second ear that was chopped off, I will convince you.
oral."
"The full name of the shady tile you are using to deceive is Wadang. The patterns, words, patterns, etc. on it are very complicated. All of these must be made in the kiln in advance and then fired."
"The process of firing tiles lasts for a day and a night. From the selection of materials for the kiln embryo to the control of firing time and temperature, there are up to a dozen processes. Even so, the fired items may deform and crack."
"Because the firing process is so troublesome, it is often necessary to fire at least a thousand pieces of tiles to open a kiln."
"The kiln mouth for firing tiles requires manpower to dig, the kiln embryo needs manpower to carve, and the firing requires high-quality charcoal and even animal charcoal for a day and night. Observing the fire and preparing the blanks all require hiring a skilled craftsman. These costs add up.
If so, even a few hundred taels of silver would be impossible to get."
"When you look at such a small piece of tiles, you can't imagine the manpower and material resources behind it! Do you think this is a house? Or is it just a pigsty built in the village?"
"Haha, get some tiles with characters for fun. Let me ask you, who is so full that he spends hundreds of taels of silver to burn a tile with characters for fun? If this thing was sold in the market at that time, it would be impossible to sell it.
If you don’t lose it, you won’t even be able to get your capital back!”
What Fang Linyan said could be said to be well-founded and well-informed. Xie Wang was left speechless. For a moment, she realized that the person in front of her was really impeccable in everything she did, and what was even more frightening was that she was ruthless.
At this time, Fang Linyan lazily leaned on the chair next to him again, and then said with a half-smile:
"Now, let me continue to ask you, where did this piece of tile come from?"
Xie Wang looked at Fang Linyan's expression, and a chill couldn't help but run down her spine. At this time, she deeply felt that any of her methods would be ineffective in front of this group of people! Not only that, the other party also controlled
The power of life and death.
On the one hand, he was dying, and on the other hand, he was taking away a piece of snowflake silver. Xie Wang finally broke his guard and could only say with a sad face:
"I really don't dare to hide it. More than four years ago, the old woman met her mother-in-law's brother who was serving wine, so she drank a few drinks. As a result, she got drunk when she came home in the evening, and then she lay down on the big bluestone of the tea stall by the road and fell asleep.
.”
"After I woke up, it was already dark and the moon was already halfway up. I thought it would be too far to go back to my parents' house now, so I might as well just go home. But I met ghosts who were building walls and surrounding a grave.
We walked until the rooster crowed for the first time!”
"Fortunately, my head came to find me in time and carried me back. I was seriously ill at that time, but after I recovered, I found this half of the tile inside the baggage, and there was a letter next to it."
"And there is a line of words written on this letter. My youngest son knows the words, and he can read it: Huwa Zhiyin can eliminate all diseases, use it as a medicine, and it will work every time."
Fang Linyan said:
"Where's the letter?"
Xie Wang said with a bitter face:
"Shortly after we finished reading it, the letter turned into a blank piece of paper and disappeared."
"Later we also heard that the rest of the yin tiles could be sold as medicine inducers, so we gradually started this business."
"The current trend is that the tiles must be fished out of the lake to be authentic, so in order to attract business, the dead guys in my family and I said that this thing was made while fishing."
At this time, Fang Linyan observed his words and felt that Mr. Xie Wang was probably not lying. However, to be on the safe side, he still conducted a cross-examination:
For example, first talk to her about some household matters and gossip, and then suddenly ask various questions after her attention is distracted:
For example, how long did your youngest son read the letter? What color was the letter paper? How high was the grave bag around you when the ghost hit the wall? What time in the morning did your boss find you? What was the first thing he said?
What is the sentence?
These questions cover many aspects. Even if they are prepared, they cannot be so detailed! So if they are made up on the fly, if you ask them several times in a panic, you will definitely get different answers.
After all, this old woman was just an old peasant woman, not a well-trained agent. After some questioning, Fang Linyan nodded silently and threw the ingot of silver to her:
"Take it, they will treat your injuries. I will find two people with Yinwa to question later. You treat your injuries here and then leave after eating. Why don't I let you go now?"
I'm afraid you might collude with each other, so don't think too much about it."
Soon, two more people who owned Yinwa were lured over, and then Fang Linyan continued to interrogate them both softly and hardly, how could these ordinary country people be able to outwit his methods, but the answers they got in the end could be said to be similar.
At this point, Fang Lin's core had already found its bottom, and it happened to be lunch time, so everyone went to eat together.
After the meal was finished, Li San, who already regarded himself as a butler, asked Fang Linyan what his plans were for the afternoon and whether he wanted to take advantage of the fine weather to take a boat to the Sunken City on the lake for a spin.
Fang Linyan smiled and said:
"There is no need to go to that place now. If I guessed correctly, the sunken city under the lake should be a trap."
Li San said in surprise:
"Is there a trap?"
Fang Linyan nodded slightly and said:
"Yes, actually this is obvious."
"If you think about it, this dark tile was obviously not fished out of the sunken city at the bottom of the lake, but the mastermind behind it insists on pointing out that it is a product of the lake. There must be some intention in it."
"As the reputation of this shady tile becomes more and more popular, and it feels like you can make a fortune just by catching it, as if there is an extra money tree, then there will definitely be many more fishermen trying their luck near Shencheng."
"Not only that, I don't know if you have noticed that the people we asked at the beginning all said they were fishing from Shen Cheng. Not only that, they also emphasized that they would use livestock for blood sacrifices on the spot, as if
This is the reason why you can catch the treasure and return safely."
Hearing this, Li San, who is also an old martial artist, immediately understood:
"Yes, the guy behind the scenes is so pretentious. In fact, he is using this as a bait to induce more fishermen around to go to Shen City. Even if they don't kill people, they can still have the blood food offered by these people.
Enjoy!”
Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"That's right, you see, the truth is actually that simple, so there is no point in us going to Shen City. That place is just a feeding area created by the mastermind behind the scenes. We probably won't find any clues after we go there. Maybe
They will also be disgraced by the opponent taking advantage of the home court."
"If the other party is more scheming and deliberately creates some false clues, then we will really be passive."
