Chapter 377: Let's Talk
Fang Tianqi did not enter the cell, but entered the county master's secret room. Officialdom has a set of talismans, and it is impossible to figure out the backstage of the criminals, who dares to touch the nail head with a bald head? However, if you do what I want, I guarantee that within a month you will not only find the gems, but also catch the criminals. ”
The county master didn't answer his words, looked at him coldly, and asked a little impatiently: "Who are you? What is the background?
Fang Tianqi picked up the shelf and said unhurriedly: "I am a grass people, if you decide that I killed the person, torture it into a trick, and let me pay for my life, it is not a pity for me to die, but it is a pity that the psychic gem." It's priceless, not only is it high-quality, but it's also able to speak. ”
When the county master heard this, his eyes lit up, and it was the first time he had heard of a talking gem. Fang Tianqi saw that the county master was moved, and he had the bottom in his heart, and said more energetically: "This jade pendant is bright red as blood, also known as blood jade, because it has been hanging on people's chests for a long time, absorbing people's aura, as long as it recites a spell, it will speak......"
The county magistrate interrupted him: "Why should I believe you?"
Fang Tianqi had already prepared, took out a silver ticket from his personal pocket and put it in the county master's hand, and said, "This is two hundred taels of silver tickets, buy my life for a month." For the past month, you have kept me in my cell as usual, claiming that I have confessed. As long as I do what I say, I can't find the gem within a month, and I can't catch the murderer, so I take the initiative to sign and draw a pledge. If the stone can't speak, I'd rather be punished!"
The county magistrate put away the silver ticket and warned him not to play any tricks.
Two days later, Fang Tianqi met his tearful wife in prison. He told his wife that when he returned, he would sell his property and transfer the shop, and then entrust a friend with a good relationship to buy bloodstone at a high price. If that blood jade pendant appears, be sure to track it and find out the details of this person.
Time passed quickly, in a blink of an eye, twenty-five or six days had passed, and the deadline was getting closer and closer, but there had been no news from his wife's side, which made Fang Tianqi anxious. According to his judgment, the murderer must have heard that the blood jade pendant of the old man Wei was worth a hundred taels of silver, so he saw the intention of making money, and blamed him after snatching the treasure and killing people. After he got the bloodstone, he definitely wouldn't just take it out and sell it for money.
Fang Tianqi asked the county magistrate to declare that he had confessed, just to paralyze the murderer. When the murderer saw that someone obeyed the law and relaxed his vigilance, he would take out the bloodstone and sell it, because this blood jade pendant was worth a maximum of sixty taels of silver, and if it could not be sold at a high price, he would definitely not sell it. He arranged to buy bloodstone at a high price, just to lure the murderer into the bait.
Three days later, good news finally came from his wife, Old Man Wei's blood jade pendant appeared, Fang Tianqi hurriedly reported to the county master, and the county master immediately sent someone to arrest him, the person who sold the jade was actually the strong man who helped sell the jade pendant that day, this person was called Wei Yong, and he was the cousin of Old Man Wei. After being caught by the officials, he shouted injustice vigorously, and insisted that he had picked up the blood jade pendant.
Wei Yong's mouth was very hard, but he didn't let go, and the county magistrate had no choice but to order the execution. However, this Wei Yong was beaten all over his body, but he still did not change his words, and the interrogation reached an impasse. If Wei Yong didn't recruit him, then the county magistrate would have no choice but to let him go. However, Fang Tianqi had to continue to go to prison, this was not the result that Fang Tianqi wanted, Fang Tianqi frowned, thought of a very good idea. That night, under Fang Tianqi's arrangement, the county magistrate interrogated Wei Yong again, and although Wei Yong was scarred, he still insisted that the blood jade pendant was picked up.
Fang Tianqi asked the county master for the blood jade pendant, and said to Wei Yong word by word: "This piece of blood jade is a psychic thing, it can speak, it can prove whether you are a murderer!" After speaking, he put the jade on the table, and then there were words in his mouth, suddenly the jade moved, and kept swaying left and right on the table, and after a while, a terrible voice came out: "Wei Yong, you beast, for the sake of money, you dare to murder your uncle and my life, I will not let you go if I am a ghost......!"
When Wei Yong heard this voice, his liver and gall were broken, and his whole body trembled up and down, and he trembled and said, "Uncle...... Uncle...... Uncle, don't ...... Scare...... I...... I...... All ......"
Wei Yong was frightened, and finally spoke out, and the truth of the case was finally revealed. Wei Yong is a gambler, he has been unlucky recently, has lost a lot of money, and owes a lot of debt. That day, I heard that Old Man Wei's blood jade pendant could be worth a hundred taels of silver, so I had bad intentions.
When Fang Tianqi was playing with Old Man Wei, he quietly stole the compass in order to blame Fang Tianqi. After Fang Tianqi left, he followed him until he watched him stay in the inn.
In the middle of the night, Wei Yongcai burglarized, but he didn't want to be discovered by his uncle. So he didn't stop doing it, and he wanted his uncle's life. After he threw the compass at the scene of the crime, in order to prove that Fang Tianqi had seized the treasure and killed someone, he went to the town again and threw the red silk thread tied to the blood jade pendant in the corner of the inn. Wei Yong originally wanted to wait for Fang Tianqi to ask for the autumn queen before selling the blood jade pendant, but the creditor was pressing, and he had to find a buyer to sell it at a high price.
Wei Yong went to prison, Fang Tianqi cleared his grievances, Old Man Wei had no relatives, and the blood jade pendant naturally fell into the hands of the county master. The county magistrate set up a banquet to shock him. During the banquet, the county magistrate kept asking Jade why he spoke. Faced with this county lord who almost killed himself, Fang Tianqi decided to tease him, so he opened his mouth: "It's not difficult to let Jade speak, just treat Jade as a god, and recite the incantation three times in your heart, it will understand your thoughts and say what you want it to say." Otherwise, it will be shattered, and it will not say a word. ”
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the county lord said that after half a month, Lord Daotai would have a birthday, and he would send this blood jade pendant as a congratulatory gift, and he had to ask Fang Tianqi to teach him to recite a spell. Seeing that the county lord believed his statement, Fang Tianqi put up a shelf and said that the spell was very difficult to learn, and it was even more difficult to communicate with the jade heart.
The county magistrate was bent on his boss, where he was afraid of difficulties, he followed Fang Tianqi every day to burn incense and worship stones, and recite incantations. Fang Tianqi deliberately made things difficult for him, saying that he was insincere for a while, and saying that he was not reciting the spell correctly. not only asked for two hundred taels of silver tickets under the pretext, but also let the county magistrate eat and drink well.
Ten days later, the county lord finally had an achievement, and the blood jade pendant finally said the first sentence: "I wish Lord Daotai good fortune like the East China Sea and Shoubi Nanshan." This made the county master very happy, and he rewarded Fang Tianqi with ten taels of silver on the spot.
On the first night of congratulating Lord Daotai on his birthday, the county lord finally got his wish, and the blood jade pendant finally said the flattery he wanted to hear the most, and the voice was exactly the same as his.
The next day, the county magistrate took a group of officials to celebrate his birthday. Fang Tianqi sneaked out of the county office, joined his family who had been waiting for many days, and flew away.
Later, Fang Tianqi, who was thousands of miles away, heard a rumor: a county official congratulated Lord Daotai on his birthday, insisting that the stone could speak, but after reciting the incantation for a long time, the stone did not react at all, and the boss was angry and found an excuse to take off his black gauze hat.
When Dong Ba said this, he picked up the teacup, took a few sips of tea, moistened his throat, looked at Liu Yexuan's stunned expression, and continued: "This is the story of the chicken blood jade pendant, and the current market price of this jade pendant can be said to be priceless. ”
Liu Yexuan was actually worried about how this chicken blood jade pendant was talking, and when he saw Dong Ba stop and stop talking, he asked, "Dong Ba Ye, can this chicken blood jade pendant really speak?"
Dong Ba smiled, it seemed that Liu Yexuan was interested in listening, and after Dong Ba returned the chicken blood jade pendant to Liu Yexuan's hand, he said slowly: "Where in this world can there be any talking stones?" The magical performance of the legendary blood jade pendant is just a small trick played by Fang Tianqi who took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, put a cricket caught in advance into the bloodstone, sealed his mouth with a paper ball, and used ventriloquist to play a trick. ”
After listening to Dong Ba's explanation, Liu Yexuan suddenly felt a little disappointed, if the jade pendant could really speak, it would be different.
In fact, this piece of chicken blood jade pendant was handed over to Liu Yexuan by He Kun, the division of the three armies, and when it was handed over to him, He Kun told Liu Yexuan that he wanted to use this jade pendant to implement the plan, and at that time He Kun did not tell Liu Yexuan about the origin of this jade pendant, but told Liu Yexuan that when he found Dong Ba in Yucheng, everything would naturally be known.
Liu Yexuan frowned and thought about it for a while, and finally understood the plan that the three military divisions asked him to implement, and now it seems that the three military divisions had already expected all this, and Liu Yexuan's worship of the three military divisions has risen to another level.
Dong Ba saw that Liu Yexuan suddenly showed a very strange smile, and felt a little apprehensive in his heart.
I only heard Liu Yexuan suddenly say: "Dong Baye, the so-called gems with heroes, Fan Dai is given to the beauty, this jade pendant is to be given to people who know the goods, so I want to give it to Dong Baye, come, give it to you." ”
Liu Yexuan handed the jade pendant in his hand to Dong Ba again, Dong Ba was stunned, and he didn't know whether to take it or not.
Because he knows that there is no merit, and he also knows that the mouth of eating people is short and the hands of people are short, Liu Yexuan showed such generosity, and gave him such a precious chicken blood jade pendant, it would definitely not be given for nothing.
"This, this ......" Dong Ba didn't move for a long time, he had been hesitating in his heart.
"What's the matter? Does Eighth Master Dong look down on me?" Liu Yexuan's face pulled down and said coldly.
