Chapter 244: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars
After Zhang Wei had a preliminary understanding of the situation, he first went externally and then internally.
There were three masons, the thin one called himself Ma Bin, the one with a beard on his face called himself Zhu Shi, and the other tall man called himself Hu Hai. After checking the mason's bag, except for an abacus from Ma Bin, it was nothing more than tools such as masons! There's nothing else, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with them!
Li Tao saw that the abacus that Ma Bin was carrying on his waist was very eye-catching, so he asked: "Masons also bring abacus when they go to work?" ”
Hu Hai sneered: "He is just pretending to be wealthy, Ma Bin was originally a guy in a big warehouse shop, and he was used to fiddling with abacus, but now he is left to do hard work, and he is reluctant to throw it away." ”
Hu Hai's interjection made Li Tao have a flash of inspiration, and immediately let the catcher quickly snatch the abacus that Ma Bin was carrying on his waist. This abacus beads are all ink-colored, Li Tao held in his hand, up and down the abacus beads, then ordered to bring a basin of hot alkaline water, in public to soak the abacus in the basin, a while, wait for Li Tao to pick up, the abacus is black abacus, are white pearls! It's a good one to steal beams and change columns. Ma Bin was paralyzed in fright!
When arresting Ma Bin, he unfortunately took off Ma Bin's hood. It turns out that Ma Bin was born bald, and all he wears on his head is a wig!
Ma Bin's pearl theft case also revealed that he was the murderer of Meng Fang.
The pearl Buddha twist of Tianci Temple is given by the Emperor Zetian, and the nobility is naturally not a problem. Ma Bin has long wanted to steal pearls, but he has no chance, and this time he is just in time for Purun to invite a mason to Tianci Temple, so he must steal it.
The three of them followed Purun up the mountain, and Ma Bin walked behind, seeing Purun secretly discarding a paper ball on the road. Ma Bin hid it casually. The secret on the note was discovered. He secretly observed Pu Run, and felt that he would not go to Meng Fang's appointment, and the color was born from the side of the guts. The reason is that he is bald. At that moment, I wanted to take the name of Purun and do that bad thing. He took off the hood, the black light was blind, how could the prodigal girl Meng Fang think that it was fake Purun when she touched his bald head?
That night, Ma Bin quietly descended from the temple, and after going to the red attic, he boldly entered Meng Fang's half-hidden door. After entering, Meng Fang was not allowed to light the lamp, and the two of them hurriedly finished the reluctance to do the erroneous thing.
It must be the reason why Ma Bin is tired. Meng Fang got up and lit the lamp, and when she saw that the man on the bed was not Purun, Meng Fang slapped it and woke Ma Bin up. Meng Fang is not easy to mess with. Fighting with Ma Bin, Ma Bin was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get out, so he looked at a pair of scissors at the corner of the table and simply stabbed Meng Fang to death.
Ma Bin sneaked back to the monastery that night, and no one knew that he was going to commit the murder.
Zhang Wei went to the temple to arrest people, he trembled with fear on the eaves of the temple, but fortunately he captured Purun. I will be relieved and bolder. He found the string of white pearls hidden in the abbot's meditation room. The pearl cache was not a secret, and it created the conditions for him to get his hands on it easily. After stealing that string of white pearls. Cut off one by one, put it in the ink line groove box for the mason's special point line, apply the ink on each bead, and then dip it in water glue, and then discard the wooden beads on the abacus, and the blackened pearls are embellished on the twelve thin copper rods of the original abacus, and the wooden frame is solidified, and it is carried with you.
……
At this moment, Li Tao has no image, his sleeves are covered on his face to block the sun, and he is lying under the willow tree in the courtyard and sleeping soundly.
A magpie flew down from the tree, landed beside him, tilted its head curiously, and came closer, and suddenly, as if sensing something, the magpie fluttered up and stood on the branch again.
A man slowly approached, and the footsteps were getting closer and softer.
The sleeves were still covering his face, and Li Tao, who was pretending to sleep, said: "Li Bai, it's you!"
"Lantian King, Lord Yuzhen asks to see you!" Li Baiyu reports.
"Lord Yuzhen? What's the matter with her? Li Tao looked puzzled.
"I ...... I...... I don't know! Li Bai's face was flustered.
Hua Jingjing talked about Yuzhen County's main question about Li Bai, Li Tao didn't take it seriously at that time, and when she saw Li Bai like this today, she couldn't help but feel curious.
Li Bai was a little unnatural by Li Tao's playful gaze, and hurriedly said: "King Lantian, I'll go down first!" ”
It didn't take much effort, and the lord of Yuzhen came.
"Aunt Yuzhen, you are a rare guest, Jingjing and Suona are in the backyard, I'll take you there!" Li Tao stood up and greeted him.
"Brother Tao, I'm not here to find Jingjing and Suona today, I'm specifically here to find you!" The county lord of Yuzhen said quickly.
"Looking for me?" Li Tao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "Aunt Yuzhen, that Li Bai is a free body, as long as he has no opinion, I have absolutely no problem here, you can take people away at any time!" ”
Yu Zhen's face suddenly turned into a red cloth: "What did you say?" Brother Tao, how do you have a tone with Jingjing, where am I talking about Li Bai? ”
It's good that Yuzhen doesn't explain, this explanation is really trying to cover up.
Li Tao didn't say anything, just looked at Yu Zhen and laughed.
Yu Zhen couldn't see Li Tao's hateful appearance, and stomped his feet and said, "I really have something to look for you!" ”
"Okay, okay, you have something to find me, say, what's the matter?" Li Tao still couldn't help but smile.
Yu Zhen raised his chin slightly: "Brother Tao, have you ever heard of the Nightmare Method?" ”。
"Nightmare?"
"Hmm."
Li Tao nodded and said, "I've heard that this nightmare method is an ancient curse technique!" ”
Yu Zhen reached out and took out a small figure carved of peach wood from his sleeve, the facial features painted by cinnabar were lifelike, and the pinholes on the forehead and chest were vaguely recognizable, which was the tool of the nightmare.
Li Tao took the villain, his fingers caressed the surface, and his face became solemn: "Where did you find it?" ”
"I stumbled upon it under a stone chair in the woods next to my father's study!" Yu Zhen said strangely: "It is said that this forest is cleaned every day, how can this thing appear?" ”
"Who can approach that forest?"
"My father is generous, and basically everyone in the house can go to that forest!"
After saying this, the county lord suddenly hesitated. Li Tao glanced at her like lightning, as if he was aware: "What? ”
Yu Zhen bit his lip again and said, "Brother Tao knows the legend of ghosts and gods, is it true?" ”
"The underworld has different paths, and it is difficult for saints to determine whether there is or not, let alone ordinary people like us."
"Xiangwang's Mansion was originally a former Chaoyu culture and private residence, if the rumors are good, it is actually a murderous mansion."
"Oh? And this statement? Li Tao said in surprise.
"It is said that the mansion originally belonged to the favorite concubine of Yu Wenhua. The former imperial master was very fond of this beauty, and spared no expense and spent three years to build this mansion. However, the day of its completion is also a time of decay and love, and three years is enough time to make a powerful man fall in love. The woman who was unwilling to be left out in the cold lost her mind, and even wanted to use a nightmare spell to kill her new favorite and win back the man's favor. After the defeat, the woman committed suicide. Since then, the mansion has been deserted, and now it is the palace of the prime minister. (To be continued......)
