Chapter Eighty-Seven: Investigate the whereabouts of the green jade wrench
Song Ruilong said lightly: "Can you let the county take a look?"
"Absolutely." Zhao Zhenxiong took off the jade pendant on his waist and handed it to Song Ruilong: "My lord, please take a look!"
Song Ruilong put the piece of dragon head jade peiping in his hand, and after looking at it carefully, he said: "This jade seems to be soft, but it is actually as hard as a stone. It looks crystal clear, but if you look closely, you can't see anything. Although this jade is not as valuable as the Chicken Blood Spirit Stone, it is at least worth five hundred taels of silver! ”
Zhao Zhenxiong said excitedly: "Oops! My lord, I really admire your admiration of the five-body cast, this piece of jade was inadvertently dug by my father in Penglai Xianshan, when he made two pieces of jade, and when I was born, he carved a dragon head on one of them, representing that I belong to the dragon. More than 20 years later, when my son was born, my father took out another piece and carved a horse's head on it, indicating that my son belonged to a horse. ”
Song Ruilong returned the piece of jade to Zhao Zhenxiong and said with a smile: "Boss Zhao, I'm sorry." There are still many cases to be dealt with in this county, so there is not much left. ”
When Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong came out of Yipinxiang Teahouse, it was already the time to hold the lanterns, and the lanterns in front of several shops on the street had already been lit.
Su Xianrong and Song Ruilong had been thinking about what Zhao Zhenxiong and Ren Tianfei said, Su Xianrong glanced at Song Ruilong's tense face and said, "Brother Song, I always feel that there is something wrong with Ren Tianfei's words, but I can't say what is wrong."
Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong continued to walk side by side towards the county office, Song Ruilong calmed his face and said: "The more seamless they do, the more problematic this case is, to be specific, Zhao Zhenxiong has a problem." The reason why you didn't find a flaw is because they didn't act themselves, and what they said was the truth. ”
Su Xianrong shook his head slightly, and said, "I still don't understand, since what they said is the truth, why does Brother Song still say that they have a problem?"
Song Ruilong said: "The reason why we can't find the flaws is because we have too little evidence. For example, Ren Tianfei and the Tibetan lama bet on dice, betting on points, comparing sizes, who can prove it? ”
Su Xianrong shook his head and said, "No one can prove that they bet on dice three years ago."
"That's right! There is no one who can prove the meat buns and vegetarian buns they bet on, and no one can prove that their bets are related to the Chicken Blood Spirit Stone. ”
Su Xianrong said: "Then how are we going to check next?"
Song Ruilong said slowly: "Wait a minute, Zhao Zhenxiong's case is not just a clue of the chicken blood spirit stone. He has something to do with the death of Liu Piaoxu, the death of Liu Tieban and his wife, and the Tibetan lama, he can't do it seamlessly, let's wait for Tie Chong to come back from Huojia Village, Yongchuan County, Hebei Province, to see if there is any progress, and there may be new clues from Liu Tianxiong. ”
After Su Xianrong and Song Ruilong returned to the yamen, as soon as they walked into their room, Shen Jing hurried to Song Ruilong's door, gasped, and said to Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong: "Lord Song, Miss Su, there is a new clue, and my subordinates have just inquired about it."
Song Ruilong asked Shen Jing to sit down first, and said, "Shen Zhutou, you say slowly, then Zhao Zhenxiong can't run."
Shen Jing sat down, drank a cup of tea handed to him by Song Ruilong, stabilized his mood, put the teacup on the table, and said, "My lord, when my subordinates passed by the Tianyun Gambling House just now, Ren Tianmad, the owner of the Tianyun Gambling House, told his subordinates about something. Ren Tianmad joked to his subordinates at the time, hey! Shen Zhutou, how are you investigating Zhao Zhenxiong's case? Oh, Zhao Zhenxiong was very majestic back then, he wore a green jade wrench on the middle finger of his right hand, and two lifelike dragons were drawn on the wrench. The two dragons are head-to-head, and on top of their heads is a round bead, which is the pattern of two dragons playing with beads. Back then, I really wanted to buy that green jade wrench, but Zhao Zhenxiong didn't sell it. Later, the fingers of Zhao Zhenxiong's right hand were cut off by him, and the green jade wrench was gone. Didn't you ask where that green jade wrench went? ”
"Green jade wrench?" Song Ruilong whispered in his mouth: "For people like Zhao Zhenxiong, of course the wrench won't be cheap."
Su Xianrong added: "The green jade wrench that can make Ren Tianfang look at him is naturally not an ordinary thing. The dragon head jade pendant on Zhao Zhenxiong's waist is worth five hundred taels of silver, so the green jade wrench is at least one thousand taels or more. ”
Song Ruilong nodded and said, "You are very right. Even if Zhao Zhenxiong cut off the fingers of his right hand, I am afraid that he will not throw away the green jade wrench. After all, this thousand taels of silver is not a small amount for the Zhao family. ”
Shen Jing was also thinking about it, and said, "My lord, you said that this Zhao Zhenxiong cut off his finger, where would he throw his finger?" Also, if Zhao Zhenxiong hadn't thrown away the green jade wrench, then whose hand would that valuable green jade wrench be? ”
Song Ruilong took Su Xianrong's hand and said, "Let's go, Rongrong, we will immediately return to Yipinxiang Teahouse and ask Zhao Zhenxiong about the situation again." Zhao Zhenxiong is an old fox, and he is too late, but I am afraid that he will arrange everything again. ”
Su Xianrong followed behind Song Ruilong, walked through the noisy and bustling street market, walked to the door of Yipinxiang Teahouse, went directly to the second floor, and walked into Zhao Zhenxiong's room.
Zhao Zhenxiong lived there at night, after he heard the knock on the door, he opened the door, and after seeing Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong, he was not nervous at all, and said with a smile on his face: "Once, the grass people have been thinking that the grass people will not see too big officials in this life, and at most they will see a showman, but I didn't expect that the grass people have met the county master several times in the past two days, which is really an honor for the grass people." Adults, please come in, if the confession of the grass people can help the adults solve the case, the grass people are honored. ”
Song Ruilong looked at the furnishings in the room and felt warm and elegant, all objects, although not the most expensive, were the most suitable.
After Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong sat opposite Zhao Zhenxiong, Song Ruilong said: "Boss Zhao, you are too polite, in fact, it is not too difficult to see the county order, some people, it is better not to see it, otherwise once he has something illegal and criminal is discovered, then what awaits him will be a strict punishment, imprisonment is a trivial matter, and it is possible to cut off his head."
Zhao Zhenxiong smiled bitterly: "Lord Song is reasonable. The grass people are short-sighted and can't speak, please forgive me Lord Song. ”
Song Ruilong saw that Zhao Zhenxiong's face was very normal, not like a murder suspect, and said, "Boss Zhao, tonight, this county came to confirm one thing to Boss Zhao."
