174 Tomb Robbery (3)
"Girl, are you all right, I'm just selling dead people's clothes, why should you bother me?" She didn't even look at Feng Chuan, and complained that the clothes hanging on the wall became more and more terrifying.
The two looked at each other, and Ren Yongyu opened his mouth, "Shopkeeper, there has been a group of people robbing tombs recently, which is really rampant, and we are entrusted by others to find out the thief, but we have been guarding it for a long time recently, and we have not been caught, and we can't find the evidence they left, so I have to come to beg you." ”
The more she thought about it, the more impatient she became, and she didn't understand why she had to find herself.
"Just tell us if anything has happened to the rich and noble."
"I don't know, I don't ask what their names are, but when I give them money, I take something."
The two looked at each other and had no choice but to leave, and the shopkeeper was not kind.
Feng Chuan didn't go far but got along with each other, it was better to stay outside, see someone entering, and know whether this person's family is poor or rich through observation?
Ren Yongyu observed and looked at the surrounding teahouses.
"We went there and we could see it through the window."
Feng Chuan thought about it, the two entered the teahouse, looking at the situation outside, she thought that most of the people who could come here to buy those clothes were rich people, and some of the people who did the work died and were buried, and the coffins might not be able to be bought.
"Coffin?"
Feng Chuan looked at the coffin shop nearby, because the person who sold the clothes of the dead would definitely choose a place close to the coffin, and the source of customers was naturally not bad.
Sure enough, I saw a shop not far away.
"Brother Yu, look!"
Ren Yongyu and Feng Chuan left the teahouse together. Xiao Er was still there and asked what the two of them were drinking?
went to the coffin shop, and the two studied it at the door, and finally discussed. If the shopkeeper is still as cold as the man, they will give him some silver, and perhaps he will agree.
"Shopkeeper!"
Feng Chuan spoke, and the man hurriedly turned around and asked what coffin he needed, and the coffins that were still good here could be selected at will.
"Uh...... We're going to pick a coffin, and I'd like to ask you if you've had any rich people who have come to you recently to buy a coffin. Will you be buried in these two days? ”
The shopkeeper panicked, and his gray beard fluttered in the wind.
It's not that something went wrong.
"I don't know who the two are, could it be that there is a problem with the quality of the coffin? Our family's things were personally beaten by several well-crafted coffin generals. The quality is good! He kept introducing, for fear that Feng Chuan and the others would wronged him.
Feng Chuan hurriedly explained that this was not the case.
"We're not here to pursue you, we just want to ask if anyone has come to order a coffin in the past two days?"
The shopkeeper was puzzled. Ask them who they really are.
Ren Yongyu shook his head helplessly. Said he just wanted to ask, for detective use.
The shopkeeper immediately changed his face, and there were more people who cared about the dead in the past two days.
"What do you mean?" Feng Chuan asked curiously, could there be anyone else.
The shopkeeper turned around and wiped the table with a rag in disappointment, "Someone else came yesterday, two men, just like you." I wonder if it's the one who investigates the tomb robbers. What's wrong with your yamen? ”
Yamen? I never said that I was sent by the Yamen, why did this shopkeeper say that?
The shopkeeper said that the two men said that they were from the yamen and had come to investigate the matter.
Feng Chuan remembered that Xiao Mu and the others didn't know about this yet.
Ren Yongyu sensed that something was wrong, and pulled Feng Chuan back two steps.
"Do you think these two people are the tomb robbers, they asked where someone died before us, they did it before us, and they know our whereabouts very well."
"They know we're looking for them?"
Ren Yongyu sighed, maybe!
Feng Chuan pinned his hopes on the shopkeeper, so he asked what the two of them looked like?
The shopkeeper did not hesitate, saying that one man was more than seven feet tall, and the other was about the same height as him.
The two said that it was a yamen, and they told him without thinking much about it.
"Which one did you say?" Feng Chuan asked, and finally the shopkeeper said that it was the father of Master Li Chengde in the east of the city.
"Address?"
The shopkeeper said the approximate location, and the two hurried to his house.
Rushed there by carriage, got out of the carriage, looked for a while, and walked to the door, Feng Chuan heard that there were already people talking about it inside.
Could it be that those two people have already done it first?
Feng Chuan hurriedly entered the courtyard, and the servant at the door stopped him.
"Who are you?"
Feng Chuan looked at it, "Is your old man gone?" ”
The servant turned around and said to a man in a dark blue robe in the courtyard: "Master, there is a boy and a girl here who say yes......
Then he looked at Feng Chuan, timidly said the three words of the old man, and then asked: Do you know the old man?
The man in the dark blue robe looked at Feng Chuan, walked slowly, walked near the threshold, stopped, and said: Who are you, we don't seem to have seen it.
Feng Chuan politely returned the salute and introduced himself.
"I would venture to ask, but what you just discussed is that the old man's funeral thing is missing?"
There was a glint in his eyes, "Indeed, but how do you know?" ”
He murmured, "Is that you?" ”
Ren Yongyu waved his hand again and again, of course not, how could the two of them be sent to the door?
The man spoke, the mother had passed away a long time ago, and the funeral object at that time was a bracelet, and the other was left to the father, and now the father went, he buried the other bracelet, but the slave who went to deliver the incense early in the morning said that the father's grave was a little strange, it seemed to have been touched by someone, and the tombstone was also tilted.
He hurriedly took someone over, and after some inspection, he finally found that his father's coffin had been opened.
I found someone to open it and found that the thing was missing.
"So the old man's coffin can be buried again after it has been moved?"
If he nodded, it was just a bracelet, not valuable, just a token of his father back then, why did that person make a big move?
At present, it is certain that these are two people, and it is premeditated, as long as you explain the shopkeeper of the coffin shop, the next time you see two people, remember to find a way to ask for their residence or name.
"It's better to let the shopkeeper give him an address, saying that there is a large amount of gold and silver treasures there, and we will guard it in one place."
Ren Yongyu's idea is very good, but Feng Chuan doesn't know if it's feasible, will the shopkeeper agree? More is better than less, if he is indifferent, naturally there is no way.
"Let's go and see."
The two went to the coffin shop, and the shopkeeper saw the two people and asked if they were there and came back.
His eyes were unwelcoming.
The two of them didn't have a rut, picked out a piece of silver from their waists, put it in each other's hands, and silently said: "Shopkeeper, this is silver, if the matter is done, we will naturally give it to you again, I only hope you can help us solve the case, and let more people's funeral things be buried with the master."
