Chapter 62: One or two fields of Huangshi and one hundred taels of gold

Hu Xiu was originally puzzled by the black sword, it stands to reason that with such an unpopular sword, why did the previous owner hide him in this wardrobe, and put it together with the two good swords.

Today, I heard what the King of Han said, and I had a nightmare about the black sword at night, and on a whim, I had this behavior.

He took out the fire fold from the placket of his coat and shook it lightly, and it burst into flames. The closed sword box was opened, and inside was a black longsword.

The fire fold approached, and when he took a photo, he couldn't see that it had a texture, it was a very black and unopened waste sword.

Hu Xiu subconsciously stretched out his hand and grasped the hilt of the sword, and his heart suddenly beat wildly again.

"What the hell!"

Hurriedly threw down the black sword, and his heart gradually returned to normal, and he didn't dare to fiddle with the black sword anymore, so he had to put it back under the wardrobe with the sword box.

Hu Xiu, who was distraught, went out of the door, and there was already a faint feeling of light outside, although the sun had not yet come out, but the surrounding scenery could also be seen.

But I saw a mountain of piles in the yard, and I didn't know what it contained, but it was more or less stained with blood. Then I remembered that his private army had said that he would let him go with everything he had stolen from the bandits.

But he was hungry and thirsty, and he hadn't eaten or drunk a mouthful of food or water since yesterday. In the end, I went to the back kitchen first, stewed meat and egg soup by myself, and filled my stomach, and as for the buns, I had to wait for people to get up before I could eat them.

You can't let those people get up early and make buns for him because he is alone, right? That's too domineering, Yu De and Li, he won't do this.

Only when there is something in the belly can you have the strength to do things, and Hu Xiu always feels that he is very energetic now. He had endless strength on his body, but he had just drunk a pot of meat and egg soup.

The things in the courtyard were gradually divided, and there were more than a dozen chests of gold, large and small, and even more chests of silver, hundreds of boxes.

There are other treasures, such as jade, and some unknown orbs.

"Huh? Why is there a black and yellow stone in this gilded box? ”

This box looks so luxurious, why is there a stone, and it looks like it is not big or small, so it is placed in the middle position.

"This is Tian Huangshi."

A voice came from behind him, and as soon as he turned his head, he looked at him with a cloak, and he was scared of a spirit, and after a closer look, he saw that it was Shi Ling'er.

"I'm going~ When did you come out?"

"I just heard a noise outside, and when I opened the door, I saw you moving. I'm going to bother you, and I'm pretty good at kung fu, and I've been following you, and you haven't noticed. ”

"Well... All right. ”

Hu Xiu answered intermittently, but Shi Ling'er looked at the yellow and black stone with interest.

"This field of Huangshi is a big baby, like such a big is not rare, as the saying goes, one or two Tian Huangshi hundred taels, look at this piece, there are about ten catties, that is, more than a hundred taels."

"One or two fields of Huangshi are a hundred taels of gold, and compared to more than one hundred and two fields of Huangshi, it is equal to more than ten thousand taels of gold. Hiss..."

Hu Xiu calculated that this small stone would cost more than 10,000 taels of gold! That's more than 100,000 taels of silver!

The king of Han told him that he would hand over two pieces of property, so if he calculated, he would have to pay two thousand taels of gold for this stone alone.

"To be precise, such a large piece, and it looks extremely good, if it is auctioned, two thousand taels of gold may be auctioned."

"~ two thousand taels? Or gold? ”

Hu Xiu couldn't help but burst out foul language, what kind of thing is this Tian Huangshi, it's too expensive.

"It's normal, Tian Huangshi is scarce, and it is still used to depict one of the best materials in the magic circle, and it is not surprising that it is a little expensive."

Circle? What is this, someone told him what beast eggs not long ago, and now someone is telling him about the magic circle. The world that crosses is becoming more and more bizarre.

Hu Xiu thought about it alone, the magic circle is the magic circle, and he didn't ask what it was for. As the son of a prince, if I don't know anything, it's too easy to make people suspicious.

"Why, it looks like you're not very happy."

"Your Majesty asked me to hand over these things in two."

If all of them were taken away by his private army, he would have no complaints, after all, they had captured them. But when he saw that the total property was so big, and he had to hand it over, he was inexplicably a little unhappy in his heart.

Maybe it's stinginess, or maybe it's something else, Hu Xiu himself doesn't know what the specific reason is.

"It doesn't matter if you pay 10%, the private army is not under the control of the Ministry of War, and there is no clear provision for what the private army seized, Your Majesty asked you to hand it over, probably because he wants you to have a good reputation."

"Forget it, then it's better to pay in two, and you can also fill the treasury, right?"

In the end, Hu Xiu still chose to pay two percent as he said, pay as he said, pay less than one percent and pay one percent more, but it is just more money and less money.

As soon as I cleaned it up like this, I cleaned it up until dawn and counted the total amount of money. There are about 30,000 taels of gold and about 250,000 taels of silver.

The rest is some rare treasures and some useless clothes. There is everything in this pile, and there are even women's personal things, which are estimated to be mountain bandits, and what special habits are there.

Subsequently, the newly baked buns were finally delivered, and I ate more than a dozen of them. I don't have to say it, and I don't know why, Hu Xiu's appetite has grown by leaps and bounds today.

Even if it's because you haven't eaten for a day, it feels weird. The big skin, the big meat, the big pleats. According to his stomach, even if he was hungry for two days, it was impossible to eat so much at one time.

But unconsciously, Hu Xiu's strength increased a little, and even he didn't notice it.

Seeing that the sun was rising in the east, and the medicinal mud in this house was used up, I remembered that I hadn't asked someone from Jishitang to prepare it for him yesterday.

I hurriedly came out of King Hu's mansion, went to Suzaku Street, and arrived at the gate of Jishitang, but found that the door was still closed.

And now it's the time of the hour, and the vendors on the street have come out one after another to set up stalls, why hasn't this Jishitang been guarding the door yet.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

Hu Xiu knocked on the door of the house, only to hear the sound of gentle footsteps in the house, and then the door was opened, and it was the door opened by the medicine boy named Yan Yun yesterday.

"It's you, Doctor Zhang hasn't come yet?"

Skipping the medicine boy and looking behind him, several long candles were still burning in the room.

"I didn't come, Mr. Yesterday asked me to come to the hospital at midnight today to help him pick up the medicinal materials sent yesterday, and by the way, prepare another copy of the medicinal materials that the prince wants.

But when I arrived, Mr. Zhang didn't come, I waited for a while, and I didn't see anyone, so I cleaned up first, I just packed up, and you came. ”

After listening to this, Hu Xiu looked carefully at the medicine boy's face, and then looked at his clothes, and suddenly had some doubts in his heart.

"That's it, let's do it, now that it's all packed, let's go to Doctor Zhang's house to have a look? You should know where his family is. ”

"Yes, it's not far from here."

"Since you have some free time, can you take me with you to take a look?"

Hu Xiu asked, and the medicine boy walked out of Jishitang, turned around and closed the door. He walked out of Suzaku Street, circled around, and stopped, and the time to walk was not even a quarter of an hour, that is, it was more than ten minutes.

What catches the eye is a small wooden building, two-storey appearance, before entering the small building, there is a fence at this door, which is not locked. Push the door and enter the small courtyard, which contains all kinds of medicinal herbs.

When he arrived in front of the wooden building, Hu Xiu reached out and knocked heavily on the wooden door, "Bang bang!" ”

"Doctor Zhang, are you at home?"

I shouted a few more times, and knocked on the door several times, but there was no response from inside.

With some uneasiness in his heart, he beckoned the medicine boy to take a few steps back, took a few steps back, and then kicked the door, and the bolt inside shattered.

The two of them hurriedly walked in, looked around the first floor, and found no one.

"Hu Shizi, people may still be sleeping on it, why don't we go up there and have a look?"

"Okay."

The medicine boy seemed to be familiar with this, and took Hu Xiu up to the second floor from the staircase. Directly opposite the staircase on the second floor, there was a low desk, and a person was lying there, motionless.

"Doctor Zhang?"

Hu Xiu stepped forward in three steps and two steps, but with a light touch, he fell. Looking at his face, it means that Doctor Zhang was not mistaken, and tried his snort, which was gone.

"Quick, go to the yamen to report the case, and call a few more people to come!"

It's a dead man again, and he's still a good man. He was still alive and well yesterday, and he and Hu Xiuyi saved a lot of his soldiers. A miracle doctor who has saved countless people just died, and he is still his own miracle doctor, no matter how you say it, he has to take care of this matter.

"Okay~"

Yan Yun seemed to be frightened, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly went downstairs and ran to the yamen.

There wasn't a single book on the desk, just a candle, a cup of tea, and books were all on the shelves. I looked at all the windows on the second floor, and they were all locked, and I went to the first floor to look, and they were also locked.

Is this man suicidal? The question echoed in my head. Hu Xiu returned to Doctor Zhang's corpse, wanting to see the corpse and the surrounding details.

As for being afraid, he is not so afraid now, he even has thousands of people being beheaded and photographed into mashed meat. He's seen it all, a dead body that doesn't have any blood at all, there really is nothing to be afraid of.

stroked the table, it was wet, and the corpse was lying on the table just now, and he touched it lightly before it fell.

He looked at the long white clothes worn by Doctor Zhang again, and remembered that he was not wearing this one yesterday. Wearing a gray long dress, this white dress, when did you change it.

Unbuttoned the clothes, sure enough, the underwear was wet, and the same was true for the underwear. Did he drown? This is only the scene of the second crime, just the murderer throwing the body.

The first scene of Doctor Zhang's death was not here, and Hu Xiu had suspicions in his heart. Seeing that the wooden floor under the corpse was almost soaked, the long black boots under the feet of the deceased looked like they were worn yesterday.

He took it off quickly, and when he fumbled it, there was a lot of mud and water mixed in the shoe, as well as some fishy floating grass. But under the sole, it was as if it had been washed, and there was not a bit of mud, only one or a small particle.

This makes people even more suspicious, the deceased may have gone to the river before, and also fell into the water, otherwise the mud and sand in the shoes cannot be explained.

But if the deceased had fallen into the river and climbed out of the river before his death, then he had to come out of the river, but why wasn't there a little mud under the soles of his shoes?

If you think about it carefully, there is also a possibility that the deceased fell into the river and drowned, and then was dragged ashore by a person, which in the process of dragging the body, the deceased naturally did not have to walk, and the soles of his shoes could no longer be covered with mud.

And when the deceased was alive, he may have walked by the river, and the soles of his shoes must have been stained with a lot of clay, but after the deceased unfortunately fell into the river.

The deceased struggled in the water, and inevitably poured his long boots into the mud and sand, but the soles of the shoes were washed much cleaner by him because of his struggle.

……

PS: Usually the appearance of Tianhuang stone is wrapped in yellow or black stone skin.

30,000 taels is about 3,000 catties, and 3,000 catties of gold are packed in batches in more than a dozen boxes, each box is 200 to 300 catties, which is very reasonable.

Alternate history, there is nothing for the medicine boy to call Mr. Ren, and there is nothing to say rigorously.
