Chapter 124: The Ant Army

Wu Dakui paused slightly, remembering the previous thefts, and then continued: "Even if they can really be moved, the jade candle of the Analects that was lost last time, counting the twenty or thirty silver chips, weighs a few catties, how can it be moved by just ants?" …… Lord Li, please forgive me for being stupid, but I really can't believe such a ridiculous speculation! ”

"That's true," Gao Xueling also nodded yes, "Father's Analects jade candle is indeed extremely heavy, and I have little strength, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it with both hands, let alone these ants." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The jade candle of the Analects has always been Gao Ji's beloved thing, and the silver chips are engraved with the classic words in the Analects, which are used for the wine order. She has always liked poetry, so she has played it many times, but she didn't expect to be stolen by thieves last month.

Wu Dakui saw that Li Qingshan wanted to explain, but he didn't give him a chance at all, "Besides, is there one thing that Lord Li has neglected, this stone library has no windows at all, only a stone door, and the gap between the stone door and the ground is extremely narrow, although ants can enter and exit it, but how can the step shake be explained?" Even if they really had that much strength, how could they transport the whole step? ”

Seeing that everyone was nodding frequently, Wu Dakui was a little proud at the moment, and hurriedly pursued after the victory: "...... Apart from these, this jade cannot be explained at all. Although this jade is small, it should be set extremely firmly, even if you let the lowly position pick it off from the step, I am afraid that it will be half tired to death, let alone these little ants......"

He is worthy of being a criminal investigator, and this analysis is methodical, the head is the way, and the arguments are rigorous, which makes people have to be convinced.

Even Chen Ruolan was a little shaken by what he said, she swore just now that she would believe in Li Qingshan. But thinking of these many doubts at this time, he couldn't calm down, "Li Gongzi, this matter, you ...... Are you mistaken? ”

"Don't you speculate, let me say a few words, okay?" Li Qingshan shook his head. He laughed faintly, "I just praised the ants for their strength, I didn't say that they moved the step back to the nest, did I?" …… Did I say it? Martial Guards, did I say that? ”

Wu Dakui was speechless for a moment by his question, and tried to think about it, he didn't seem to have said such a thing.

"Lord Li seems to be ...... I really didn't say it. Wu Dakui replied helplessly.

"Isn't this the end of it? In fact, they really can't move. Give them a copper coin and they can't move it, let alone shake it in one step, and what kind of jade candle? ”

Hear him say that. Gao Ji was obviously stunned for a moment, he was still waiting for Li Qingshan to make a big reversal, but he didn't expect to hear this answer, and he was immediately a little disappointed.

"Lord Li, this official is confused, I remember that you just said that the thieves are these ants? How...... How to ......"

Li Qingshan said with a smile: "Lord Gao, the thieves are indeed these ants!" They couldn't move the heavy silverware, though. You forgot, though. Don't they still have mouths? ”

Gao Ji was stunned for a moment, and then his body shook, and a pair of eyes suddenly widened.

"What Lord Li means is that the ants will shake that step...... Eaten? ”

Li Qingshan looked down at the little ones crawling around on the ground, sighed lightly, and then nodded heavily.

Unexpectedly, he just nodded. Wu Dakui next to him couldn't wait to shout: "Impossible! When pigs fly! ”

He learned to be obedient this time, and only after seeing Li Qingshan nodding his head did he finally shout loudly.

"Why can't it be? Tengu can eat the moon, so why can't ants eat silver? Li Qingshan asked with a smile.

"W-what's the reason for that? Lord Lai. Ask them, who has ever seen ants eat utensils? Wu Dakui said and pointed casually at the group of nurses, "Kangtong, you say, have you seen it?" ”

Kangtong watched it in the second half of the night last night, and he happened to be sleepy at this time, and Wu Dakui happened to yawn when he asked him, so he was a little embarrassed, and smiled, before shaking his head and saying that he hadn't seen it, but he had seen the tengu eat the moon once.

The other nurses, you look at me, I look at you, and they all said that they hadn't seen it, Gao Xueling and Chen Ruolan glanced at each other, and they both shook their heads lightly.

"By the way, if ants can eat utensils, wouldn't they have eaten up ordinary iron and bronze utensils a long time ago?" Wu Dakui paused for a moment and pointed to the big lock on the stone door with his hand, "Lord Li, that lock is made of pure copper, isn't it okay?" I didn't see any ants climb up and eat it! ”

Li Qingshan shook his head and said: "Wuhuyuan, copper is copper, iron is iron, silver is silver, these metal things may be similar to you and me, but for ants, the difference is big." Copper and iron are relatively hard, and they can't even put their mouths into their mouths, so they won't be interested in the slightest, but the silver is soft, and it is extremely refreshing and delicious for ants......"

Wu Dakui shook his head again and again when he heard this, such a thing was really beyond his comprehension, not only him, but most of the others didn't believe what Li Qingshan said.

Gao Ji lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally said with a straight face: "What Lord Li said is indeed a bit unbelievable, but it doesn't make much sense to argue about this matter...... No matter how much you say, it's useless, but fortunately, aren't there ants on the ground? Just give it a try, and everything will be clear? ”

Li Qingshan said with a smile: "Master Mingjian, I actually have this intention in the next place...... Which of you has silver in you? ”

Nowadays, people mostly use copper coins to trade, and in some places even barter, silver is not common among the people, so Li Qingshan has no silver on him, so he can only ask them.

Most of the people shook their heads, and most of them were copper, but unexpectedly, Gao Xueling said that she happened to have some broken silver.

Her maid then took out a cloth bag from her body, spread it out layer by layer, and saw that there were indeed some bits and pieces of silver inside.

It turned out that they came to take the step shake today, just to compare the weight, and then wanted to send the broken silver to be melted again, and make a similar style, but they didn't expect to pounce.

Li Qingshan picked out a narrow silver bar from it, squatted down, found a relatively flat place, and put it down gently.

Everyone was obviously a little curious, and they all gathered around, some squatted down, some bent over, and began to watch.

There were already a few ants crawling around on the ground, and one of them sniffed the silver, touched it with his tentacles, and stopped for a long time.

Chen Ruolan stared nervously at the little ant, waiting for some miracle to appear, but the next scene disappointed her.

The ant held on to the silver and paused quietly for a moment, then turned around and hurried away without looking back.

Then several more ants approached the silver, but none of them were like the previous one, and after touching and smelling them, they all turned and left.

Seeing this scene, Wu Dakui was suddenly overjoyed, and was about to open his mouth to laugh a few words, but Gao Xueling over there had already screamed in surprise.

"Father, come and see, there are so many ants!"

She had just followed the first ant all the way to see where it was going, and was slightly disappointed to see it disappear into a crack in a stone, but she didn't expect that a moment later, a large number of ants suddenly appeared in the crack in the stone.

This large number of ants swarmed out of the cracks, heading towards the route that the ant had just come, black and pressed like a flowing ink line, so not spectacular.

"Get out of the way, don't get in the way!" Gao Ji had already rushed over, screaming anxiously, and pushed aside the many guards who came to watch one by one, making way for these little guys on the ground to march on the road.

The ant army really lived up to their expectations, and their goal was very clear, to get the location of the silver. In a short time, the long silver bar was densely packed with ants.

Looking at the team of ants flowing under black pressure on the ground, Wu Dakui was also a little frightened, the situation seemed to be a little wrong! (To be continued.) )
