When he heard that Qian De'an wanted to drag him to be his godfather, Zhu Benshan, who had always been pampered and pampered, was extremely reluctant. However, looking at the fierce look of his godfather, he did not dare to resist and had to let him take care of him.
Walk out the door by yourself.
"Also, Shopkeeper Zhou." At the door, Qian De'an turned around and said, "Someone saw Ben Chu in the pawn shop a few days ago."
He once promised Zhou Shi to use his connections to search for Zhu Benchu's whereabouts, but there was no news for a month. Even Zhou Shi began to suspect that the big boss of Fengde Building had really suffered an accident.
"Oh?" Although the big boss is a bastard, Fengde Building is his and Zhu Benshan's property after all. Their names are recorded in the Yamen, so his missing whereabouts is also a problem.
If you go to a pawn shop, you can only pawn something... But he shouldn't have anything valuable on him. The title deed of Fengde Building is also in Zhou Shi's hands. What can he pawn?
"However, I didn't pawn things at first, but went to buy things."
"Ah?" Zhou Shi was surprised, this was so unexpected, "Buying something? What to buy?"
"The thing he bought was also strange. He said it was a centuries-old ginseng that could be used as medicine. There was no such thing in the pawnshop. I just thought he was here to cause trouble, so I coaxed him away after a few words of prevarication. The shopkeeper of the pawnshop is familiar with me and knows
That guy is my godson, so he came here to report to me."
Centennial ginseng...
Not to mention how weird this thing is, just the word "ginseng" brings back bad memories.
"Which pawn shop did he go to?"
"The shop at the west end of the city, the shopkeeper's surname is Wang, just give me my name."
Zhou Shi thanked shopkeeper Qian and decided to take some time to take a look.
Next, the ten hexagrams were verified in sequence, but only the first five hexagrams were accurate, and starting from the sixth hexagram, they sometimes worked and sometimes failed.
"So the limit should be the fifth hexagram... No, it's possible that the fifth hexagram happens to be correct... at least the first three hexagrams are absolutely credible."
That night, Yin Hun came to the table. The Yin Hun who had seen "Ms. Xu" improved a bit. Although he still couldn't speak a single word, at least he no longer trembled and said his name - Ding Pu.
.
The danger that night was vivid in my mind, and it even affected Yueqing Tower. I don’t know what that thing was...
After the ghost dispersed, Zhou Shi returned to the room and asked Ji Bu to settle the matter.
Fierce.
Divination "investigated the cause of Ding Pu's death" and the result was "serious".
"Tsk, it was indeed a strange death...but this only shows that it is very dangerous to investigate today. Maybe there will be some changes in the future."
He picked up the beans and asked, "I'm going to visit Wang Yinchang today." The result he got was "unfortunate".
"Huh? What dangers can there be in visiting Wang Yinchang... Oh, maybe he went out to show something to others and is not at home today."
At present, the cultivation of calligraphers and tablet masters has been put on the agenda, and Cai Youlin said that the imitations of calligraphy and painting in Wang Yinchang's home are all excellent works, which can be used to absorb literary spirit. However, since I can't visit tomorrow, I can only think about it in the long term. "It's really not worth it to go through other people's walls for this kind of thing, and I feel guilty about it."
He held the beans and thought for a moment, and decided to ask the question.
"How to break the curse of the iron abacus."
When he spilled the beans, he didn't hold out much hope, and even did it with a joking attitude. After all, Mr. Mo and Ruan Hunxiong couldn't handle it, so how could they expect to appear in one day... p>
Ji.
Zhou Shi stared at the beans scattered on the ground with wide eyes. He checked them several times according to the method of throwing beans to ask for good luck, but he still came to the same conclusion.
Ji!
The method to solve the curse of the iron abacus will appear within today!
Zhou Shi felt that his fingers were trembling, but he forced himself to calm down quickly.
Looking at the scattered shape of the beans on the ground, he judged that it was just Xiaoji. Maybe the method that appeared could not solve the urgent need and required various stringent conditions... just like the merit algorithm.
However, more methods bring more hope.
Zhou Shi took out the yellow beam pillow. Without this, he would have been unable to sleep all night.
Throughout the whole day, he was a little absent-minded in everything he did. He even made a mistake when paying for a customer. Fortunately, there was a table of regular customers, so he just joked about it.
"Shopkeeper, didn't you sleep well?" Xiao Si asked with concern.
Zhou Shi said a few words casually, while his attention was entirely focused on observing the customers in the store.
The surrounding merchants, merchants passing by from Jiangdu, and a few Liba who had some spare cash... were all ordinary customers, and it was hard to tell that any of them had anything that could save his life.
This busy work has come to an end in the evening, and Zhou Shi is filled with anticipation and impatience. If the hexagram can be fulfilled, it will only be in the next few hours. If it is not fulfilled, then there is a problem with his skill of throwing beans and asking questions.
……
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a pretentious shout from the front door: "Shopkeeper Zhou!"
Upon hearing this voice, Zhou Shi's heart suddenly tightened - it was Zhao Xuan!
Zhao Xuan still wore the same ill-fitting business outfit. While there was no one in the front hall, Zhou Shi quickly invited her to the private room and asked Agui to arrange her favorite sweet soup.
"Master Zhao, why are you here? I didn't put the broom away..."
"If you don't call me, I can't come? Your Fengde Building relies on flying pigeons to send messages to promote business?"
Zhou Shi served the sweet soup and sent Agui to the kitchen, then sat down and listened to Zhao Xuan explain the reason.
"There are new clues at Yichunyuan."
She put an empty bowl aside and said:
"There was a truck puller who lived on the edge of Jiangdu city. He usually made a living by helping people transport things from the countryside to the city. One night half a year ago, an employer asked him to pull a large bag of goods into the city. As a result, the truck
The wheel broke down halfway. The cart tilted and the sack fell into the field. When the mouth of the sack came loose, several feet were stretched out from the inside."
Zhou Shi frowned: "Corpse?"
"That's right. The truck driver was so frightened that he lost his mind, but his employer was right next to him, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to hurriedly pack up the sacks, reload them on the truck, and transport them all the way to the destination. He was still worried about this matter, and as soon as our people found him
, he immediately made peace."
Zhao Xuan sighed at the third bowl of sweet soup and said, "If everyone we find is so cooperative, how much time can be saved."
Zhou Shi didn't want to think about the consequences of not cooperating, so he asked: "Is he pulling the body that was transported to Yichunyuan?"
"Although the destination is not Yichun Garden, judging from the time point, it should not be wrong." Zhao Xuan put the bowl aside, wiped her mouth and said, "We can only transport those who died in Jiangdu to the countryside for burial. How can we get there?"
To transport people out of the countryside and bury them in the city? There must be something fishy."
"What about the employer? Do you have any clues about the employer?" Zhou Shi felt that the employer was probably one of the murderers of the Yichunyuan corpse hiding case.
"Unfortunately, it was already midnight when his employer came to see him, and he did not remember any characteristics of his employer."
"Is it possible that he is lying?"
"We have confirmed it, it is true."
They have a way to confirm the authenticity of words, which is more important information for Zhou Shi.
"I just want to ask you, is there no business in the underworld that specializes in transporting corpses? With such a large number of corpses, it is not easy to transport them to the same place quietly."
Zhao Xuan's imagination is quite big... Zhou Shi said helplessly: "No."
"That's it, then we have to continue to use ordinary means to find out. In addition, the zombies have not committed any crimes in the past two days."
Taking this opportunity, Zhou Shi revealed the information that he thought he could reveal to Zhao Xuan after careful consideration:
"Wu Zhaokun has walking corpse guards around him. He may have an affair with the corpse-refining demon." This is the truth, but it needs to be processed a little to prevent Zhao Xuan from suspicion. "When I was investigating the well where the stolen money was hidden, there were two walking corpses.
When they came out to attack, I killed one of them and the other escaped."
"Oh?"
Zhao Xuan raised her eyebrows. It seemed that her estimate of Zhou Shi's combat effectiveness needed to be adjusted.
The refined walking corpses can even be killed by Shi Shenghui, the leader of Hunlong Fist and "the number one puncher in the Eight Hundred Miles River", but Zhou Shi can deal with two by himself and even kill one!
As for why he didn't tell He Shouxin such important news, it's easy to understand: he didn't know the relationship between the well and Wu Zhaokun at the time, so he couldn't draw a conclusion. He could only wait until Wu Zhaokun was arrested and the imperial examination fraud case was exposed.
Only then was the connection between the walking dead and Wu Zhaokun determined.
