Chapter 19 Thousand Years of Ancient Stones

The killers all turned into powder in an instant in front of Shen Lingjun's eyes, and as soon as she returned to Dali Temple, Qinghe said that someone from the palace was coming, and Shen Lingjun's head was extremely big.

"Lord Shen," a clear female voice came without temperature.

Shen Lingjun looked over, "Oh, Mei see, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I really think it's better not to see you, it's not a good thing to see you." ”

The woman in a cyan palace dress came out from the corner, her face as clean and delicate as her voice, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she smiled detachedly and politely, "Lord Shen seems to be troubled." ”

Shen Lingjun waved his hand and walked in with her, "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing that Mei glanced at Su Musha, who was walking behind Shen Lingjun, Mei glanced at Su Mushao, and replied: "Recently, some bad news has reached the palace, so the Holy Lord hopes that Lord Shen can deal with those two cases as soon as possible, otherwise there will be chaos." ”

Shen Lingjun winked at her, "How much do you know, give me some inside information." ”

Mei Jian shook her head with a smile, "The Holy Lord only asked me to pass the word, and besides, Lord Shen had better solve the case before the princess's marriage ceremony." ”

Shen Lingjun raised his forehead, "Got it, what else?" ”

Mei said: "There is indeed another matter, but it is to find General Zhao." ”

Shen Lingjun was happy, "How do you know he's here?" ”

Mei saw that her eyes turned away, and said lightly: "Naturally, there is a way to know." ”

When the three of them went to the backyard, Zhao Qi and Ye Qingzhi were sitting at the table drinking tea, and when they heard footsteps, they looked up together.

Mei Jian walked in front of Zhao Qi, "The Holy Lord ordered, please ask the general to enter the palace later." ”

Zhao Qi sat lazily, "What are you doing?" ”

Mei Jian shook his head, "Then I don't know." ”

Zhao Qi nodded, signaling that he understood.

After sending Mei Jian away, Shen Lingjun and Su Musha told them what happened in the woods.

Zhao Qi smiled: "Hey, you have encountered an invisible killer, this trick is good, you don't have to be caught to force a confession." ”

Su Musha sat down and poured himself and Shen Lingjun a cup of tea.

Ye Qingzhi thought for a while, "Did you bring the powder back?" ”

Shen Lingjun took out a handkerchief, and when he opened it, there was some black powder mixed with dirt inside.

"I'll study it later," Ye Qingzhi took it and rewrapped it.

Ye Qingzhi was puzzled, "Why did the killer appear when I found it here." ”

Shen Lingjun chuckled: "It seems that some people are weak-hearted." ”

Su Musha took a sip of tea and nodded, "Well, this member is not as simple as it seems. ”

At this time, Luo Cheng ran over and said, "General, everything is ready, just wait for dark." ”

Shen Lingjun was curious, "What to do?" ”

Zhao Qi and Ye Qingzhi said together: "Dig a grave!" ”

After dinner, several people went their separate ways, Zhao Qi changed his clothes and entered the palace, Ye Qingzhi locked herself in the autopsy room, she was going to check the corpses before, as well as the powder she got back this time.

Shen Lingjun and Su Musha were left to sit in the backyard, and Cicada Yu brought snacks and tea fruits to the two.

Shen Lingjun sat under the plane tree, thinking of the locust flowers in the backyard of Su Musha's house, decorated with branches, white and elegant, when the wind blows and the petals are scattered, it is the most beautiful.

"How many days a year can you stay at home?" Shen Lingjun asked, holding his chin.

Su Musha rested his hands on the table, holding the teacup in his hands, and thought for a while, "Not necessarily, it will be a few days for a long time, or two or three days for a short time." ”

Shen Lingjun blinked his eyes and said sincerely: "Tsk, what a waste...... By the way, you're going to live in Hangzhou for a little longer, right? ”

Su Musha nodded, "Every year, I will take some time to spend with my family." ”

"Actually, you are a very gentle person," Shen Lingjun said with a smile.

Su Mushu was stunned for a moment, Shen Lingjun continued with a smile: "Look, although you don't often hang it in your mouth, you will do it, your second sister likes mink coats, you go all the way to Tianshan, and you treat friends, such as me, even if you don't want to, you still follow me to investigate the case, so ah......"

Shen Lingjun stood up, walked to his side, stretched out his hand and put it on his shoulder, and smiled slightly, "You are a gentle person. ”

Su Musha half-raised his head and looked at Shen Lingjun, only to see that her big eyes were looking forward to the flow, twinkling like stars, as if she could speak, and the last light of dusk shone on her delicate and vulgar face, her eyebrows were smart, and she was indescribably elegant and beautiful.

The two of them sat and stood together, their eyes were on each other, and they couldn't take their eyes off for a while.

"My lord, my lord......" A man ran from the front yard, running all the way and shouting.

Shen Lingjun and Su Musha suddenly came back to their senses, and they looked at the sky and the ground with some embarrassment.

It was Mao Li who came running, he gasped, and said, "My lord, something happened." ”

Mao Li suddenly broke in, breaking the silence of the courtyard, and the ambiguity just now also blew with the evening breeze, and the dissipation was gone.

Shen Lingjun turned his head, a little helpless, "What's the matter?" ”

Mao Li's breath was also smoothed, and he replied: "There is news from the river in the west of the city, saying that a stone from a thousand years ago has been dug up. ”

"It's just a stone, what are you doing," Shen Lingjun said impatiently, and there was a resentment in his heart that vented to Mao Li, and he didn't know where this anger came from.

"No, my lord," Mao Li explained, "this stone is different from other stones, and it has words written on it." ”

Shen Lingjun teased him, "It's amazing, the stone on which the words are written is also known to you." ”

Mao Li couldn't laugh or cry, "That's the case, don't we take turns guarding the Drunken Xiang Pavilion, today it's Shenhe's turn to change shifts for me, I heard about the stone in the morning, and I didn't care, anyway, there are fishing boats salvaged some strange things every year." But just now I was passing through the street and heard everyone talking about it, and I was a little surprised when I heard it. ”

Shen Lingjun's expression was also a little serious, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Mao Li compared his finger to eight, "It is said that there are eight words written on the stone." ”

Su Musha was also curious, waiting for the presumptuous to continue.

Shen Lingjun kicked his feet, "Don't sell it, finish it in one breath." ”

Mao Li touched the kicked calf, "The eight words on it are written in very ancient words, they found a number of old pedants, didn't it take a day to figure it out, those eight words are: If it is against the will of heaven, it will be punished by heaven!" ”

"When is the text?" Su Musha asked.

Mao Li scratched his head, "It seems to be ...... Xia is still a businessman...... Or Zhou Qin or something like that...... Right? ”

Shen Lingjun resisted the urge to kick again, "When?!" ”

Mao Li shook his head, "I don't remember, otherwise the adults will go and take a look, and they will pass in front of our government office with the stones." ”

Shen Lingjun thought to himself, I can see that he is ugly? Said unhappily: "A stone, what is there to see." ”

"You let Miss Ye take a look, maybe ......" Before Su Musha finished speaking, Shen Lingjun swooped, floated over, and slapped the door.

Mao Li admired, their family is good at this light work.

Ye Qingzhi opened the door without knowing it, and was dragged out by Shen Lingjun, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Lingjun said succinctly and clearly: "Look at a stone!" ”

Ye Qingzhi paused for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Oh, you mean the stone dug up in the river west of the city?" ”

It was Shen Lingjun's turn to wonder, "How do you know?" ”

Ye Qingzhi explained: "That's the case, just now all the way back, everyone was discussing this matter. ”

"Do you know what the words are on it?" Shen Lingjun asked.

Ye Qingzhi shook her head, "I didn't say there were words on it just now." ”

So, Mao Li said the eight-word thing again, and then said: "This matter has spread now, and everyone is rumored, speculating whether it is because the empress ascended the throne against the will of heaven and wants to harm the people, and also contacted the corpses that were gnawed before, saying that the government can't find out now, maybe it really wants to be punished by God." ”

Shen Lingjun disdained, "Evil words confuse the public, whoever spreads rumors, arrest them." ”

"Now the people are saying that this can't be caught." ”

Ye Qingzhi's eyes were shining, "I'll take a look." ”

"Let's go together," as he spoke, Shen Lingjun raised his head and asked Su Musha with his eyes, and the latter nodded.

So, several people went out together and walked towards the west of the city.

Not long after the road passed, halfway through, I bumped into it. Several officers and soldiers carried the rope around the bound stone, which looked quite like that from a distance, probably because it had been deposited in the river for a long time, and it carried the smell of silt.

The leader at the front, Shen Lingjun has also met twice, working at the foot of the imperial city together, and occasionally dealing with each other. This person's name is Du Ruo, and he doesn't like to talk, but he does things very quickly.

Du Ruo saw Shen Lingjun coming, stretched out his hand, the team stopped, and greeted him with a fist, "Lord Shen." ”

Shen Lingjun looked behind him, "That's it?" Where to carry? ”

Du Ruo nodded, and said with a glance: "The Holy Lord ordered, put it in the Zhengde Gate first, Lord Shen has something to explain?" ”

"Oh, hehe, it's okay, it's okay," Shen Lingjun shook his hands behind his back, "Just take a look, by the way, I heard that this thousand-year-old stone is coming, where can I see it, I look at the stone, it's all the same." ”

Du Ruo lowered his head slightly, there was no superfluous expression on his face, but the corners of his mouth drooped downwards gave people a serious feeling, "Bachelor Wang from Hongwen Pavilion and Bachelor Cai from Jixian Academy have come to see it, and both adults said that this is indeed a very old thing, but the specific year is not clear." ”

Shen Lingjun squatted down, and Ye Qingzhi also leaned over and carefully looked at the words on it.

Su Musha stood aside, he was not interested in the stone itself, so he noticed that Na Du Ruo's face was a little delicate.

"How's that, do you know?" Shen Lingjun supported his knee with one hand.

Ye Qingzhi looked at it carefully for a while, and said in a low voice: "It's strange." ”

A stone stirred up a thousand layers of wind and waves, but after Ye Qingzhi saw it, she looked a little puzzled.

Shen Lingjun was about to ask, but Du Ruo coughed in embarrassment, "Lord Shen, there is still official business below." ”

"Ah," Shen Lingjun grabbed his hair and looked at Ye Qingzhi, meaning that you have finished reading Mu You? Ye Qingzhi replied with a look that had no problem, and Shen Lingjun said to Du Ruo: "I'm sorry, I'm delaying your time, please, please." ”

Du Ruo bowed slightly, "Farewell," and left with a group of people.

When the others disappeared, Shen Lingjun asked, "What's strange?" ”
