Simao smiled: "If I don't worship him as a master for a day, he won't pass on his art for a day, this is the rule in the hexagram, this Wang Lao Dao is very stubborn, and he refuses to break this rule even if he is killed." It's just one of them, I learned a thousand techniques in the casino since I was a child, and those who do this must have poisonous eyes and be able to ponder, so I stole some teachers from Lao Dao. As for the second one....." Speaking of this, Simao hesitated for a moment.

"Second, what's wrong? You mean. Ma Qinghu asked curiously.

Simao's face was mysterious: "I still have a skill, that is, I can dream, and the ......... that the gods taught me in my dreams"

"Go to ....." Ma Qinghu looked disdainful: "This is also learned from the old Taoist, God chatters." ”

Simao saw that Ma Qinghu didn't believe it, didn't explain, and laughed it off.

"Hey, wait, there's one more thing I haven't figured out....." Ma Qinghu suddenly remembered something, and changed his words: "Did you let me quietly touch the jade pendant hidden by the three lepers?" ”

Simao looked around, lowered his voice and said: "Xu San has been doing the business of secret caves, specializing in picking up merchants from other towns, buying drugs, setting up gambling games, killing people and throwing corpses, and selling stolen goods are all handled by the six sons, they have done a lot of work, there have been no less than dozens of headless unjust cases over the years, and a corpse sent to the temple of Wang Lao Daoyi Zhuang not long ago seems to have stumbled and fallen into the water, but in fact it is the six sons who did it, the old Taoist priest is a master of autopsy, and the previous nameless corpses are compared, the method is the same, and it must be done by a group of six sons." If you think about it again, the clothes, accessories, and objects that these rich people carry are all valuable goods, of course they have to find a way to sell the stolen goods, and those drugs can't be bought in the drugstore, of course, they have to get them from the road........"

Ma Qinghu couldn't help but be shocked: "This group of bastards is too bold, and they dare to do such a hurtful thing?" Did you follow the line of their buying of medicine and selling stolen goods? ”

Simao nodded: "The people who do this kind of business don't know it, but the brothers on the road don't know it." It's just none of your business, just hang high. If you push it according to the time when they kill people and throw away their bodies, the time for them to sell their stolen goods will naturally come out. So I asked someone to receive this jade pendant from the stolen goods they sold at a high price, and used this to pour dirty water on the three lepers, which is not ironclad evidence. Xu San and they will naturally ponder, if it weren't for pinching Xu San's sore feet, what kind of jade would the three lepers buy with a vassal elegance? Did it happen that he bought it into the hands of Xu San's next family? No one will believe it. ”

"It's understandable that Xu San's method of killing people and selling stolen goods is seen through by you, but it's a bit risky to conclude that Yu Pei is the gambler's just based on the time of selling the stolen goods.

After hearing this, Simao looked Ma Qinghu up and down, without saying a word, and saw that Ma Qinghu's heart was furious: "What kind of illness are you guilty of?"

Simao said with a smile: "Okay, you, your mind is getting more and more detailed!" It's not a reckless flying anymore. ”

"you, don't interrupt, understand the reply."

"Huh....." Simao hit a thousand on one leg, laughed and responded, and then explained it to Ma Qinghu in detail.

It turns out that the mystery lies in the gambler's corpse. After Liuzi and others killed and robbed money, they only took off the gambler's coat, but the underwear was never touched, so Wang Laodao and Simao discovered the family emblem number on his underwear. The family emblems of the ancients were often the family of the noble family, the merchant and the wealthy and lasted for many generations, and they were more particular about weaving or dyeing marks on their personal clothing, letters, and gifts. And the family emblem on the corpse's underwear is the five words "Taicang Zigangtang".

Speaking of this family, not many people may know about it, but when it comes to Lu Zigang, the founder of Zigangtang, he is like thunder in the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties and later generations of jade-making peers and jade-playing collectors. Because of the hard texture of jade, the ancients have been using the jade sand grinding method when making jade, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Taicang, Jiangsu Province produced a master of jade, and created the "Kunwu knife" carving method, which raised the craftsmanship and level of the ancients to a new height, and he was also famous all over the world, his carving was known as "the first of Wuzhong's stunts" at that time, and even the Suzhou Fuzhi praised his carving workers as "making narcissus hairpins, exquisitely kitsch, and the flower stems are as thin as hair." "This master is none other than Lu Zigang.

There is also an allusion to his superb skills as evidence. Emperor Wanli once summoned him to the palace to confess, once, the emperor wanted to embarrass Lu Zigang, and took out a jade wrench (a kind of utensils set on the thumb, also divided into two kinds of wrenches and martial wrenches, which came from the ancients who needed to ride and shoot the bow, and wore a horn or the like on the thumb to protect the fingers, which is the source of the wrench. Later, many literati also imitated and wore wrenches, but the material became jade agate and the like, and the function was upgraded to the role of decoration, which is the source of the wrench) asked him to carve a hundred horses on it. A few days later, Lu Zigang completed it and presented it to the emperor. The emperor saw that there were only three horses on the jade wrench, located in the mountains and open city gates, a horse had arrived at the city gate and ran towards the city, a horse was running towards the city gate, and a horse had just exposed the horse's head in the valley, which could be described as a masterpiece of virtual realism, and the emperor was naturally a dragon-faced delight.

Driven by Lu Zigang, his relatives have joined the ranks of jade making and selling jade, and in the Qing Dynasty, it has developed into a famous jade merchant family that integrates jade processing and sales, until Qianlong in his later years because of the Gao Pu case caused a major event of the imperial court monopolizing jade trading, and the people are not allowed to trade jade in private, and the Lu family went into decline, which is of course a later story.

Since the Kangxi Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, economic development and cultural prosperity, especially under the leadership of Qianlong, dignitaries and literati have risen up the wind of loving jade, Wang Laodao was also a person in this way when he was an official, so after seeing the hall number of the corpse's underwear, he immediately speculated that this person must be the son of the Lu family, one is because Taicang is the place name, and the other is because Zigang is Lu Zigang's number, so Zigang Hall is used as the name of the Lu family, and the two can be put together, except for Lu Zigang's clan, there can be no second family. Secondly, because the engraving process used for the imprint on the underwear is the engraving method of the "Kunwu knife", which is the secret of the Lu family, and then with the decline of the Lu family, this technique has been lost, so it is the only one, it is difficult to imitate, and it confirms the identity of the deceased.

The children of the Lu family have a jade as a standard, which is engraved with the family motto passed down by Lu Zigang, and the jade pendant itself may not be valuable, nor is it simply for decoration, but also to warn future generations. And the money and items on the corpse have been looted, needless to say, this jade pendant naturally fell into the hands of Liuzi and others, of course, these rivers and lakes do not know the trick, so Simao followed the way of their shipment and inquired, and successfully found this piece of jade, because since this piece of jade is standard, it is naturally made in batches, the shape and style are unified, and the text content is unified, just like the assembly line products of later generations, it looks the same.
