Zhou Shou's neck was naturally crooked, so he never went out. He had no idea how things could have reached this point.
He only knew that the prefect sent people to buy mines, and then sent people to open mines... Then one day, when he slept until midnight, he heard a commotion outside, and then heard his parents arguing with others. It seemed that something had happened.
I was frightened.
He couldn't walk or run like this, so he gritted his teeth and took the hatchet, cut himself, and then lay down beside the bed.
Fortunately, that day was already a mess. When people who came in saw his head hanging on the side and his face covered in blood, they thought he was dead and turned around to go out.
Then these people set fire to the whole village and burned it to rubble.
As Zhou Shou spoke, he cried loudly: "I crawled out to look, I crawled out to look, there were hundreds of people in the village, all dead... all dead, my father and mother were all dead outside, covered in blood.
…”
There was no way to comfort him for this kind of thing. He cried for a long time before slowly closing his voice.
Tang Shijin waited for him to finish crying, asked someone to give him a cup of tea, and then said: "Can you tell me in detail, do you have any evidence?"
Zhou Shou cried: "That, that person... I heard my father say that his name is Mr. Liu. It is said that he is a relative of the prefect. I remember his voice. There were many people there that night. I heard a lot of voices. They were using waist knives."
,I saw……"
He talked a lot incoherently, and in his excitement, he finally couldn't hold on and passed out.
Tang Shijin asked someone to call someone from Xi Yuanmu's side to take a look, and said to Qi Yaoling, "Let's go there."
Qi Yaoling said: "Jiang Hu and I are going over there. Master, please don't go. As soon as you go, others will notice."
Tang Shijin thought for a moment: "It's okay. You and Bi'an go quietly, bring more people, and be more careful. At that time, he was just a prefect. No matter who was sent, they couldn't all be dealt with.
If you can find a witness, by the way, take Mr. Hai for a bone examination."
Qi Yaoling responded and was about to turn around. Tang Shijin followed two more steps: "Be careful! Be extremely careful!"
Qi Yaoling turned back and said, "Master, don't worry, I won't get into danger just because I have the skills."
She nodded, and then he turned and left.
Tang Shijin came out and asked the housekeeper to allocate two people to take care of Zhou Shou, and also asked someone to transfer two people from the general police factory. He would record anything he thought of at any time. At the same time, he ordered: "If this kind of thing happens again, no matter what time it is, sooner or later."
, you can come over and call me, don’t miss anything.”
The butler responded respectfully.
Jiang Bi'an and Qi Yaoling, with only a few people, left the city in a light carriage.
There are another two thousand security guards, together with Hai Ruzhou and others, who will leave the city overnight and follow behind.
Bingzhou was not that far away, so I worked hard and arrived in two days and two nights. As soon as I arrived, a man with long eyes and flying ears came over and said, "There are quite a few watchdogs." After a pause, he said again:
"We found an inconspicuous little house, how about settling in first?"
Qi Yaoling nodded and directly ordered: "Rest first." He nodded to one person: "Welcome them back and tell those people not to enter the city yet."
The man responded, and they entered the house first, took a bath, changed clothes, and sat down to eat.
Although everyone switched carriages to eat along the way, it was inconvenient after all, and we finally had a good meal when we arrived at the place.
Jiang Bi'an said: "We still have to see what the method is."
Qi Yaoling said: "Tomorrow morning, I will go there in disguise."
So a few people discussed it, and early the next morning, a strong Jianghu man and a woman "disguised as a man" rode over.
Jiang Bi'an had been in Jinyiwei for many years and had a very poisonous eye. Qi Yaoling, known as the world's best killer, also had a very poisonous eye. When the two of them took a look, they saw several hidden stakes.
But there was no road at all here, so the two of them dismounted their horses without looking for it and sat down at a roadside tea stall. Qi Yaoling, pretending to be a "man disguised as a woman", said softly: "Hey, old man
,come here!"
The tea stall owner came over quickly, and Qi Yaoling said in a standard Bingzhou accent: "Do you have a painter named Xu here? He is good at painting landscapes?"
The tea stall owner shook his head: "I don't understand this."
Qi Yaoling glared and shouted: "Are you fooling me! A famous painter, you live here, how could you not know about it!"
The tea stall owner shook his head blankly: "Young man, I really don't know what to draw or not."
Qi Yaoling paused her feet angrily, and then said: "Go, go, go! It's useless!"
The tea stall owner confessed and left.
Qi Yaoling and Jiang Hu said, "Then what should we do? I told dad, I will definitely be able to buy his paintings!"
Jiang Bian cooperated with him in a deep voice: "Then it's the same thing if you buy someone else's."
"What do you know!" Qi Yaoling said: "His landscape paintings are particularly gorgeous in color. I heard that he used imperial cyan! No matter how good the painter next to him is, just looking at the paint, he is inferior!"
Jiang Bi'an said: "Let's look for it again. Anyway, the birthday is still early."
The two chatted for a while, then got on their horses and left. The tea stall owner quickly retreated to the small hut and wrote something. After a while, someone came over to drink tea. As he came and went, the paper was put into that person's hand.
.
After leaving, Qi Yaoling said in a deep voice: "This is a gangster trick."
He glanced up and said, "There is an eagle in the sky, a dog below, and a line down the pole. It is actually a blindfold, making it difficult to enter. Let's try it again in the evening."
The defense here is really tight, and a painter is even specially placed here. Even if the trick is really exposed, if others inquire about it, they will only find out about the painter, and then be guided to the other side by the painter. The mechanism is calculated.
All.
In the evening, the two of them changed into night clothes and went out for a walk.
The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and there are sentries at every step. If you want to advance, you have to carefully understand the patterns of these people. It really doesn't take three or five days.
Let's break in. Although Lapis Lazuli can't be lost, we are afraid that there is some mechanism inside, and we are also afraid that the people inside will commit more crimes in order to silence them.
We can only take our time.
And here in the capital.
Hua Shenglin also led the police force, together with Wu Buzheng's people, to conduct a secret investigation on the pigment.
Landscape paintings mostly use cyan blue, but the cyan blue on the market is mostly replaced by azurite ore, and the color is slightly different.
Chen Shiwu is good at painting landscapes. His landscape paintings are gorgeous in color and hard to find. They use real lapis lazuli.
Lapis lazuli is so rare. If you really love painting, it can be said that everyone wants it. As soon as you ask around, you will know where it is. I followed the line and touched it on Chen Shiwu. It was really unintentional.
Insert willow.
He is still in the lapis lazuli business to this day, which means that there must be people stationed in that mine, and these people are Chen Shiwu's people!
As soon as Tang Shijin received Qi Yaoling's letter, he immediately ordered Zeng Sigu.
