There are two flowers, one on each branch. Liu Yiming received Xu Yicheng's list and immediately rushed home. This is something entrusted by Xu Yicheng, and it can't be messed up. He had been wondering what to do with this all the way.

The antiques industry is different from other industries, and there is no competition between the objects sold, so peers are not enemies, but must communicate with each other regularly. Whoever has received a new treasure, who has hidden something, are all open. If there is a customer who buys it, but this one does not, the boss will recommend him to go to the one that has. As an antique fixer in Beijing, Wumai has the most exchanges with many antique dealers, and it is clear what inventory is on the market. When the Qing clan found the head of the five veins, it was because they took a fancy to this connection.

If it is done in silence or with caution, it is very simple. Just assign the list to the five vein shopkeepers in the capital, and let them go to the familiar circle to inquire, and there will be news in less than half a day. The face of the five veins is quite effective in this circle. But Liu Yiming is just a hairy boy, so he can't call these shopkeepers, and if Yao Shenxing knows, he will realize that he is secretly helping Xu Yicheng to do things, and it will be a lot of trouble.

Seeing that he walked to the gate, Liu Yiming still had no clue, and his steps couldn't help but become a little heavy. He lifted his glasses, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw a shadow poking his head out of the door, and then "whoosh" out and disappeared into the opposite alley.

Liu Yiming pushed his glasses, hehe, happy.

I really dozed off and sent a pillow and let me bump into this guy, which shows that God helped me. He didn't hesitate, and raised his leg to sneak in that direction.

The black shadow was a child, half a head smaller than Liu Yiming, but his movements were very flexible, turning around in the dense alley like a spider's web, without hesitation at all. Liu Yiming chased after him from afar, and almost lost it several times. Fortunately, the guy was not guarded, and walked very quickly against the corner of the wall, and soon came to a secluded corner of a high blue brick wall, waiting at an inconspicuous small wooden doorway. On the other side of the high wall is a towering carved and colored building. Liu Yiming looked at it, his face turned red, and he took a sip lightly. This is the rouge alley near Shaanxi Lane, a famous place for fireworks. Even in this world, there is still a faint sound of Yingge and Yan from upstairs, which is very lively.

Liu Yiming hid far behind a telephone pole and looked at it. I saw the small wooden door open, and out of it came a fat woman in her forties, dressed as charming. When she saw the boy, she reached out and pinched his face. The young man didn't dodge either, and the two of them laughed a few times, and their posture was frivolous. Then the woman took out a small ink-colored round box from her bosom, and the boy was in good spirits and wanted to grab it. The woman took it back, and the young man understood, and hurriedly took out a jadeite birthday star peach pendant from his arms, and handed it over with both hands. The woman took it and played with it for a while, and then handed him the inky box.

The young man took the box, and as if he had found a treasure, he quickly carried it into his bosom and walked back excitedly. didn't take two steps, didn't watch out for someone next to him suddenly pressed his shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, you have a medicine!" Steal your father's collection and sell it! ”

The young man who had been called for medicine listened to the drink, and his muscles were so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground. He turned around in a daze, only to see that it was Liu Yiming, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Who should I be, it turned out to be you, Brother Liu." "His Beijing film has the smell of Hutong skewers, and it is very slippery. Liu Yiming said with a straight face: "You were hit by more than a dozen boards last time, and you forgot the pain so quickly?" Yaolai hurriedly said: "Ouch, ouch, my brother Liu, don't say it, we also have a hard time." Listen to me slowly......" He moved in a hurry, and the small box of bones fell to the ground.

Liu Yiming looked down, and his face changed greatly. The ink-colored round box also had four red characters written on it, "a golden pill", and several small flowers were painted next to it. Liu Yiming didn't know the brand, but he recognized it as a poppy.

This medicine is the youngest son of Yao Shenxing, who is particularly favored, has a stubborn temperament, and often steals small items from the family to sell for money. But Liu Yiming didn't expect that this guy would dare to dip into opium. Liu Yiming's voice suddenly raised: "You are too bold, even if you steal things from the house, you still use them in exchange for ***?" When the medicine came, he was immediately unhappy, and raised his head to correct: "What***, that's all the old yellow calendar." This is called a golden pill, produced in Dalian, the technology of the Japanese, the taste is positive, it is energetic, and it does not need to be boiled, but it is convenient. I'll tell you it's not easy to buy it now, if it weren't for my acquaintance with Sister Sun......"

Liu Yiming interrupted him unceremoniously: "Isn't that still opium?" This is to let your father know ......" Before he finished speaking, Yao Lai knelt on the ground with a "bang", hugged his thighs and begged: "As long as you don't tell my father, let me do anything." Liu Yiming was taken aback. He had prepared a set of rhetoric to coerce the medicine, but he didn't expect him to be so soft.

Yaolai's eyelids rolled: "Ahem!" If you hold my handle, you will definitely want me to do something. Even if I plead, you will not let go. So why bother with those false texts that push and please, everyone is so busy, it's better to be happy. Seeing that he knew him like this, Liu Yiming couldn't help but smile and said, "You get your father's copper seal of Master Guan out, I'll borrow it, and I won't say anything about it." When I heard the medicine, I couldn't help but let out an "ah".

When Yao Shenxing was just born, someone came to find the five veins to offer treasure, and it was a bronze seal of the tiger of the Han Dynasty, which was engraved with the words "Shouting Hou Yin" - everyone who has read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" knows that the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion is the title of Guan Gong. This seal was used by Master Guan, so do you still have it? The people of the five veins almost had to spend a lot of money to buy it. Strange to say, Yao Shenxing suddenly cried loudly next to him, dancing with his hands and feet, and knocked a book on the bookshelf to the ground.

The five-vein elder in charge of the identification leaned over and picked it up, and found that it was the "Book of the Later Han", which happened to be on the page of the "Yufu Zhi". When the elders saw it, they suddenly woke up, and it was clearly written in the book that the Han Dynasty stipulated that only the seal of the Son of Heaven could be used for the tiger, and it was impossible for the seal of the princes to use this. After careful investigation by the elders, they knew that Guan Yu's "Hanshou Pavilion Marquis", "Hanshou" is the place name, and "Pavilion Marquis" is the title. Later generations were ignorant, thinking that it was Han/Shouting Hou, and broke the wrong sentence. There is a missing word "Han" in front of the print, so it is naturally a fake.

The five veins are mainly based on the palm and eye, and if you miss on this, it will be a loss of face. Before he was a year old, Yao Shenxing made a great contribution and saved the face of the five veins. The senior gave him the fake seal as a toy. Yao Shenxing has been carrying this mark with him since he was a child. Later, Yao Shenxing took over the family affairs when he became an adult, and simply used this seal as a token. Players in Sijiu City all know that the boss of the medicine family has a seal of the old man, which has become a symbol over time, and no one cares if it is true or not. Usually, if there is any correspondence and contract, Yao Shenxing will use this seal to settle the payment.

Liu Yiming's idea was to take advantage of this loophole, get this seal in his hands to forge the letter, and instruct the shopkeepers to investigate.

Liu Yiming thought that Yao Lai would shirk it, but unexpectedly, this kid rolled his eyes and agreed without hesitation, without any psychological burden. Liu Yiming secretly sighed at this loser and asked him how he planned to steal. Yao Lai immediately came to his senses, rolled up his sleeves and said, "This thing is easy to do." My dad had to sleep for an hour at noon every day, and the thunder couldn't move, so I would go into the house and pick it up for him. ”

"Then won't your father find out when he wakes up?"

Yao Lai said proudly: "I stole the jade birthday pendant today, it is his treasure." When he woke up, I knelt down there and said that I had stolen your birthday pendant to pay off the gambling debts, and he would definitely have to count me down for an afternoon and not care about anything else. ”

Liu Yiming was speechless for a while. People who are coerced are all depressed and reluctant, and they have never taken the initiative to give advice like Yaolai. Liu Yiming was silent when he came to see the medicine, thinking that he didn't trust, and patted his chest: "Our masters do things, not leaking, and Tong Suo is not bullied." ”

"Okay, just do as you say."

After thinking about it, Liu Yiming felt that there was no flaw. The simpler it is to plan this thing, the better. The medicine is used to being a house thief, and this is very familiar.

Although this person is lazy, he is extremely efficient. He made a plan with Liu Yiming, and at noon the next day, he really stole the seal and handed it to Liu Yiming, who was waiting outside the gate.

"You return it quickly when you are done, my body is weak, and I may not be able to withstand the beating." The medicine is righteous and awe-inspiring, like a revolutionary righteous man. Liu Yiming looked at it carefully, this guy was not very old, his face was slightly sallow, and his cuffs were smoky, so he couldn't help but sigh: "Medicine, I didn't say you, opium can't be touched, you better quit as soon as possible." ”

"You know, you know, you just don't say it." Yaolai shook his head disappreciatively, turned around and walked home, and suddenly turned around, "By the way, you use this to plan to forge my father's letter, right?" ”

"yes." Liu Yiming has a handle in his hand, and he doesn't intend to hide it from him.

"Then you have to be careful, when my father uses this seal, he will have a grain of rice underneath, and a small white dot will be left in the middle of the paper. Without this secret mark, those shopkeepers don't recognize it. ”

Liu Yiming was shocked, it turned out that Yao Shenxing had hidden such a hand, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for the medicine to remind me, I'm afraid that as soon as the letter is sent, the bottom will leak.

"Thank you." Liu Yiming felt a slight sense of guilt in his heart.

Yao Lai waved his hand nonchalantly: "I do my best, and I also expect you to finish things as soon as possible, I will get out as soon as possible, and it will be convenient for everyone." If you're out of Louzi, I'm going to be unlucky, right? After saying this, he laughed, turned around and walked into the courtyard with a tragic stride.

Liu Yiming accepted Guan Gongyin and quietly returned to his room. He was born in the five-vein red-character sect, and the red-character sect studied calligraphy and painting, so the calligraphy attainments of the children of this vein are quite high, and it is easy to forge other people's handwriting. Liu Yiming shook his wrist slightly, and he imitated more than a dozen text messages with medicine caution. Then he only had to put a grain of rice on the pad, stamp the big seal of Master Guan, and the matter was done.

After running out of seals, Liu Yiming went to look for medicine again, and found that Yaolai was lying in the room grinning and rubbing his buttocks, and it seemed that he had eaten another good meal. When he saw Liu Yiming, he struggled to get up from the bed with a sad expression. Liu Yiming asked him how he was, and the medicine came to him with a thumbs up, saying that the master had been hit by dozens of boards, his face did not change, and his anger did not gush out. Liu Yiming handed over the seal and asked Yao Shenxing if he found that the seal was lost.

Yaolai was very dissatisfied: "Brother Liu, you look down on me, I have such a big face...... No, if you take such a big ass and get beaten, can there be a problem? By the way, you've got everything done? Liu Yiming nodded, and Yao Lai breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's clear the two." Don't threaten me with this again. ”

"Don't touch opium anymore, you can't touch this thing." Liu Yiming sincerely persuaded. Yaolai rolled his eyelids and said perfunctorily: "Got it!" Got it! While barely getting up from the bed, he had to quickly put the seal back so as not to be discovered by Yao Shenxing.

Liu Yiming didn't stay any longer, he left Wumai and personally sent these letters to Wumai shops all over the capital. Those shopkeepers are very familiar with Liu Yiming, and they know that he often runs errands for the family, and there is no flaw in the imprint of Yao Shenxing, so there is no one who is suspicious. As soon as Liu Yiming lit up the letter, they hurriedly ordered someone to check it. These antique shops communicate with each other, and when they ask, they know what they have received and what goods they have received recently, which is very efficient.

Liu Yiming spent half a day and ran to seven or eight shops to find out the news. During this time, the political situation was chaotic, and there were no big deals in the antiques market, so it was easy to find out. The investigation showed that except for Pei Hanlin's copper chime, no stolen burial items from the tomb of Emperor Shushen's concubine had ever been leaked out of the market. But Xu Yicheng gave him another list was quite rewarding - but as for what it meant, Liu Yiming didn't understand it, and Xu Yicheng didn't say anything.

At this time, it was getting late, and the whole capital was plunged into darkness, and only a few places were lit up with lights. Liu Yiming was in a hurry to report to Xu Yicheng, so he called Tsinghua Garden, but he didn't expect that it was Huang Kewu who answered the phone. Huang Kewu said that Xu Yicheng was not in Tsinghua Park at this time, but in Union Hospital. Liu Yiming asked what are you doing, Huang Kewu hesitated, and said that Uncle Xu sent a task, but he couldn't say it.

Liu Yiming didn't ask much, hung up the phone, and hurried to Union Hospital. Mrs. Xu works as a nurse in Union Hospital, so Xu Yicheng naturally went to accompany her.

Union Hospital is in Dongdan, not far from Liu Yiming. He called a rickshaw and arrived in about twenty minutes. Union Hospital is a key institution, and no matter how confused the government is, it will focus on protecting it. Therefore, there are not many remnants of the Feng army wandering in the Dongdan belt, and there are many street lights, and the law and order are still good.

Troubled times return to troubled times, and ordinary people also have to do business to make a living. Many small vendors who were originally in Longfu Temple, Tianqiao, Caishikou, Niujie, Dongyue Temple and other places took a fancy to the cleanliness here, and they all came here to support their stalls to do business, blocking the intersection, like a temple fair.

The rickshaw driver was reluctant to go inside, and Liu Yiming had no choice but to get out of the car and squeeze inside. At this time in May, as soon as the wind falls, the temperature comes up, there is a slight heat of early summer, all kinds of snacks are out of the stall, what ice cream, pea yellow, sour plum soup, Jiang rice lotus are lined up, shouting one after another, the aroma is overflowing, many people eat here to meet food. Liu Yiming squeezed forward, and suddenly saw that the person in front of him was very familiar, and then looked at it, who was Xu Yicheng?

Liu Yiming hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and walked over there, and saw Xu Yicheng standing in front of a pink fish stall. Liu Yiming shouted, and Xu Yicheng saw him and made a gesture to wait for a while. When the boss saw the visitor, he hurriedly stopped playing the fan, and he couldn't care about the shouting in his mouth, so he hurriedly picked up the gourd scoop and squeezed the bean paste into the boiling water. When Xu Yicheng came back, the boss had already made two large bowls of pink fish, copied the cold well water and handed it to him. Xu Yicheng took out a big blue and white bowl from his arms, put the boss's two bowls of pink fish in his own bowl, asked for two more grabs of cucumber shreds and a spoonful of spicy seeds, and then took out the big white handkerchief and buckled it to the mouth of the bowl - the strong wind only stopped a few days ago, and the earthy smell in the air was still a little heavy.

After settling the meal money, Xu Yicheng came over with a bowl and said to Liu Yiming with a smile: "My daughter-in-law wants to eat something refreshing when she works overtime, so I will come out to buy some supper." Liu Yiming was about to open his mouth, but Xu Yicheng stretched out his hand to stop him: "I'll talk about it later." ”

The two moved out of the crowd and walked towards Union Hospital. Xu Yicheng carefully held the bowl all the way, and his steps were more steady than usual, as if the bowl was a treasure from the firewood kiln. In front of him, the deep night outlined the characteristic curve of the eaves of the main building of Concord, and the rows of red columns were vertically divided, as if they were as rigorous and majestic as a palace. At this time, the hospital was still running, the lights were bright, and from time to time doctors and stretchers rushed in and out.

The two entered the main building and came to the nurse's duty room. Mrs. Xu was bowing her head and writing down her medical records. Xu Yicheng put the bowl on the table, took out a pair of chopsticks wrapped in cloth, poured a cup of boiling water, and said softly: "Let's eat something first." Mrs. Xu raised her head, smiled at her husband, and asked if she had added spicy food, Xu Yicheng said that she had added it, but this thing should not be eaten too much, and it was not good for the fetus.

"As if you know better than I do." Mrs. Xu glared at him in disgust, took the handkerchief away from the bowl, and handed it back to Xu Yicheng.

Liu Yiming had noticed Xu Yicheng's white handkerchief that never left his body before, and only then did he see the whole picture of the handkerchief, made of cotton, not completely plain, and embroidered an English word with golden silk thread in the corner: Peace, I don't know what it means.

Mrs. Xu was hungry, so she picked up the chopsticks and began to eat. Xu Yicheng sat next to him, his hands resting on his knees, and kept watching her eat, his eyes gentle and calm. After a while, the pink fish was eaten. She touched her bulging belly and burped comfortably, only to find that Liu Yiming was on her side, and she suddenly became embarrassed. Xu Yicheng got up with a smile, picked up a handkerchief and wiped a few points of sesame sauce from the corners of her mouth: "You eat like this, don't pass it on to your children." ”

Mrs. Xu gently pushed his arm: "I'm full, don't make trouble for me here, you go and do your job." Then he nodded slightly at Liu Yiming and returned to work.

Xu Yicheng and Liu Yiming walked out of the duty room side by side and stopped beside the white marble railing in the side corridor. Xu Yicheng looked into the distance for a while, then turned around and asked Liu Yiming, "The results of the investigation are out?" His tone was calm, but Liu Yiming noticed that the moment Xu Yicheng stepped out of the room, his expression suddenly changed. Just now he was a gentle and careful husband, but now there is a slight edge between his eyebrows.

Liu Yiming handed him the results, Xu Yicheng read it carefully for a moment, and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, it's really good to find out to this extent so quickly - Brother Yao didn't notice it?" As soon as Liu Yiming said about the piracy of Yaolai, Xu Yicheng couldn't help laughing, saying that this little guy is really a wonderful person, Brother Yao actually gave birth to such a son, and he should know him if he has the opportunity.

"Does this help you, Uncle Xu?" Liu Yiming asked nervously.

"Yes, it could even be said to be the final word." Xu Yicheng shook the page approvingly, his eyes looking at the darkness in the distance, and his expression was happy. Liu Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, he had been worried that he had not done good things and disappointed Xu Yicheng.

"I've worked hard for you today, go back and rest early, and I'll show you a good show tomorrow." After speaking, Xu Yicheng folded the results of the investigation and put them in the same pocket as the white handkerchief. Liu Yiming couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked what the origin of the white handkerchief was, Xu Yicheng's face was slightly shy: "This was bought when she was studying at Harvard Medical Hall in Shanghai, and later gave it to me, it can be regarded as a token of our love." ”

"What does that foreign sentence mean?"

"Peace, which means peace. That's what our children are going to call it. Xu Yicheng's face was full of happiness. Liu Yiming whispered a few times: "Xu Heping, Xu Heping...... Sure enough, it's a good name. ”

"I hope that by the time he grows up, the world will be peaceful." Chief Xu Yicheng let out a long sigh, propped his arms on the railing of the corridor of Union Hospital, leaned forward, and looked up at the bright starry sky with his eyes. The stars are moving at a speed invisible to the human eye, slowly but surely, unhindered by anyone or anything.

For some reason, Liu Yiming had a wonderful premonition in his heart, but he couldn't tell what it was.

The two of them chatted a few more words, and Liu Yiming saw that it was indeed not early, so he said goodbye to Xu Yicheng. Xu Yicheng told him to be careful, and then said how to arrange it tomorrow, and Huang Kewu would inform him when he returned. Liu Yiming originally wanted to ask Huang Kewu what he was doing, but thinking about Xu Yicheng's style, he shouldn't say it easily before the dust settled, so he gave up.

He walked out of the gate of Union Hospital alone, wondering whether to call a rickshaw or walk back. Suddenly, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and slapped it on the shoulder. Liu Yiming was startled, turned his head to look, and saw a young man standing there with a grin, holding a bowl of snowflake cheese in the other hand.

"Medicine? How did you end up here? Liu Yiming was taken aback.

"Gifts are still exchanged." Yao said, "Brother Liu, you cut off my beard, and I will also dig up your business." Liu Yiming's face sank, it seemed that this kid had a grudge and had been following him so far. Yaolai's eyes glanced at the thief on Xiehe's side: "I saw it just now, you were with that Xu Yicheng, and you gave him something." ”

Liu Yiming kept his composure, held his glasses, and said coldly: "You also know him?" ”

"Ouch, my dad pronounces this name three times a day, and I don't want to know it." Yaolai's eyes gurgled and he was very proud, "My dad hates him the most, if he knows that you stole the seal and messed with Xu Yicheng, I'm afraid it will be a lot of trouble." ”

Liu Yiming smiled bitterly, this guy is really vindictive, so he has to return it as it is. Yao Lai poured the rest of the snowflake cheese into his mouth, and breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped his mouth and said you're scared, aren't you? Do you understand how I felt at the time?

To be honest, Liu Yiming is really not afraid of this kind of coercion. He was already very disappointed in this big family, and the most Yao Shenxing could do was to expel him from the house, which was in his arms. However, he still had to try to avoid this from happening, because Xu Yicheng let him lurk in the five veins, and it was still useful. So Liu Yiming said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, what do you want me to do?" Well? ”

"Uh......"

This is the medicine to ask, he is only thinking about the handle of catching Liu Yiming, and he really hasn't thought about what to do after getting the handle. Yaolai scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks for a long time, and asked if you were going to meet Xu Yicheng.

Where is Liu Yiming willing to say. The medicine came to see him swallowing and spitting, and he was very excited. This guy's logic is very simple, everything is swallowing, there must be a big secret hidden, and all the big secrets must be exciting and interesting. Yaolai asked a few more questions, Liu Yiming just shook his head, and said I won't lie to you, but I won't say it either, so you better change your requirements.

"That's good, you count me as one of the gangs, and I won't report it to my father." medicine to make an unbelievable request.

This time it was Liu Yiming's turn to be stunned, he thought that Yaolai would extort a large amount of money to buy opium or something, but he didn't expect it to be such a request. Yaolai's eyes were shining, and his tone was full of excitement: "My father has never been afraid of anyone in his life, but he is so jealous of Xu Yicheng, I have been curious about him for a long time." What he did must have been a very interesting thing. ”

Liu Yiming heard it, this guy is a good person, he will go wherever there is excitement, he doesn't care if it's right or wrong, he doesn't hesitate. Liu Yiming hesitated for a moment, and said That's okay, I'll let Uncle Xu come to see you, and it's up to him to decide. Medicine comes and claps your hands and says okay.

So Liu Yiming had to return to Xiehe again and tell Xu Yicheng that. Xu Yicheng was also surprised, this son of Yao Shenxing had a bad record, he had heard it for a long time, and he didn't think that this kid would take the initiative to come over and take refuge. Liu Yiming said that if something is abnormal, he must be a demon, could it be a spy sent by Yao Shenxing? Xu Yicheng disagreed: "What we have to do is to be serious, and we are not afraid to put it on the table." At most, he was uncooperative, and with his courage, he categorically did not dare to obstruct it. What are you afraid of, let's see. ”

As soon as Xu Yicheng walked out of the Union Hospital, Yao Lai immediately greeted him, just like the little hero Ai Hu in the storytelling saw Ouyang Chun, he came to kneel on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and praised Xu Yicheng in a different way. Xu Yicheng didn't stop him, and listened with a smile. Waiting for the medicine to say that his mouth was dry, Xu Yicheng helped him up with both hands, and his attitude was polite. The medicine was overjoyed, thinking that it was done.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yicheng's words changed: "When Yiming and Kewu join the gang, they will be tested, and you are naturally no exception." I have a treasure question here, and I will promise you if you make it. Yao Lai patted his chest and said that even if he came, the master would lose in the blink of an eye.

Xu Yicheng said: "You are a member of the medicine family, specializing in porcelain in the Xuanzi Gate." I won't bully you, so I'll give you a porcelain treasure question. He turned back to the duty room and brought out the large blue and white porcelain bowl that had just served the pink fish. Yaolai took the bowl and looked at it for a while, the bowl was glazed thick, hooked with lotus patterns, four square characters, and it was written "Virtue is far away", in addition, there is nothing special, I think it is a private utensil. At the bottom of the bowl is a small section with the words "Jurentang" written on it.

Yaolai raised his head and smiled: "Uncle Xu, this thing is just an ordinary porcelain bowl, what's the point?" ”

Xu Yicheng's brows did not move at all: "Let's take a look." Yao Lai knocked on the edge of the bowl with his fingers, and said helplessly: "It's not that there is anything exquisite, it's Jurentang's knowledge, but it's not worth anything." ”

In the fifth year of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai was proclaimed emperor, following the example of the Ming and Qing emperors to set up an imperial kiln in Jingdezhen, appointing Guo Baochang as the pottery supervisor and firing the imperial porcelain for the court. Unexpectedly, the farce of claiming the emperor ended quickly, and Yuan Shikai died disgraced, discredited. Guo Baochang had no choice but to re-label this batch of porcelain with the name of "Jurentang" and sell it to the people to pay for his wages.

Although the medicine is stubborn, the family knowledge of porcelain is still profound. Although this thing is from the hands of a famous artist, it is only twelve years old this year, and it is not worth much if it breaks through the sky.

"See again?" Xu Yicheng is still those three words.

Yao Lai was stunned for a moment, so he had to lower his head, and this time he watched it for ten minutes before he reluctantly spoke: "The blue and white spots are dignified, deep into the fetal bone, this is Sun Yingzhou's handwriting?" ”

Sun Yingzhou is a porcelain-making wonder in the Republic of China, specializing in imitating the blue and white porcelain of the Yongle and Xuande periods, which is almost chaotic and true, and even the five veins are difficult to judge. It is rumored that he once haunted Jingdezhen, and maybe this blue and white porcelain bowl is his handiwork - but this bowl is not even a fake, because people have never said that it is Ming blue and white, and the word "Jurentang" is clearly printed.

"See again?" Xu Yicheng is still those three words.

Yao Lai guessed several times, but Xu Yicheng always calmly asked him to take another look. After more than an hour, Yao Lai began to yawn, tears were in the corners of his eyes, and his spirit did not seem to be very good. He grudgingly grabbed the edge of the bowl and said another answer, but Xu Yicheng still shook his head. Yaolai shouted impatiently: "That's not right, that's not right, you didn't mean to entertain me, right?" Before he finished speaking, another yawn came out, and he had to wipe the corners of his eyes and nostrils with his sleeve.

Xu Yicheng smiled and took the porcelain bowl, took the blue and white bowl, and suddenly his face changed, and he slammed the bowl on the ground and smashed it. This sudden change shocked the medicine, as if it had been beaten with a stick. Xu Yicheng pointed to the broken porcelain and said sharply: "Medicine!" Do you remember what was written on this bowl? ”

Yao Lai was shocked by the powerful aura that suddenly erupted from Xu Yicheng's sudden questioning, and his lips trembled: "De...... Virtue is far away. ”

"What do those four words mean?"

"Home, family style ......"

Xu Yicheng's words were like sharp needles like thunder: "The porcelain bowl has been broken, can it be replaced?" The family style has been lost, can you catch it back? Yao Lai shook his head at first, and then nodded quickly, completely confused. Liu Yiming watched from the side, speechless. All along, he saw Xu Yicheng, who was gentle and kind, but he didn't expect that at this time, his King Kong eyes were angry, and his power was so powerful. Yaolai is a notoriously lazy character at home, but he didn't expect to be drunk by Xu Yicheng like this, and those slippery and poor mouths are all left under this head drink.

Xu Yicheng grabbed Yaolai's collar and reprimanded word by word: "You still know the family style!" The five veins are strictly regulated, and you must not be contaminated with opium tobacco, where have you learned your rules? Yaolai hung his head and didn't dare to say anything.

Xu Yicheng did not relent: "Although I am not on good terms with your father, no matter who it is, I will never tolerate a big smoker in the five veins!" If you let me bump into me today, don't try to fool the past! Xu Yicheng thought that Chen Weili was killed, but he had to bear the notoriety of smoking too much, and he hated this vice to the extreme.

Only then did Liu Yiming understand that Xu Yicheng had been procrastinating for time, just waiting for the drug to come on, so as to teach him a lesson.

It seems that he said that he was not interested in the five veins, but in fact, he still cared. Liu Yiming laughed secretly.

At this time, Yao Lai was already in tears, so he had to ask for mercy again and again. Xu Yicheng let go of him at this time, his face grim: "This treasure question is to tell you that when you touch this opium, your family will be lost, and it will be too late to regret it." From now on, give me a good kick-off, or I'll let your father tie you up and lock you up at the Narcotics Control Bureau!" ”

"That'...... What about joining the gang? "I'm still thinking about the medicine when it comes here. Xu Yicheng's eyes narrowed slightly: "As long as you sincerely repent, I will take you with me." But if I find out that your old habits have recurred......"

"No, no, the master is full of words, the horse is difficult to chase, if you get that thing again, you will directly send me a vegetable market and cut off your head." Yaolai has always been stingy, but in front of Xu Yicheng, he is tied. Xu Yicheng said: "Get up, I have a few words to ask you." The medicine came to beat the spirit, Xu Yicheng stared at him and said, "What is the name of this big cigarette you smoked?" ”

Yaolai replied obediently: "This is called 'a golden pill', an oriental product." It turns out that the ground in Beijing is all smoking domestic eagle brands, and the taste is not mellow enough, so it is troublesome to smoke. Now we all smoke this, we don't use a smoking gun, twist it and take a roll of paper, tilt our neck and suck it into our nose, we all call it a 'cupola'. ”

"How much does this cost?"

"A box of silver is enough for three days." Yaolai took out the opium box and gestured for it.

Liu Yiming and Xu Yicheng gasped, it was so expensive, according to this pumping method, a small rich family would be able to collapse in less than half a year. Yao Lai explained: "Of course, many people are reluctant to smoke like this, so they will mix something else, and some even use cigarettes to take it, called 'Niang Dai'er', just to last a few more days." ”

"If you overdose on opium, is it possible to die?" Xu Yicheng asked.

Yaolai tilted his head and thought about it, saying that if it was domestic enough, there were too many impurities in it, and he choked to death before he was smoked; If it is a foreign product, it is different, this "one golden pill" is pure in taste, and there is still heroin in it, and it is easy to be blinded if it is excessive.

Xu Yicheng asked a few more details, and Yaolai replied a little absent-mindedly, obviously unable to hold it because of his addiction. Xu Yicheng buckled the opium box, turned around and walked into the Union Hospital, and after a while took out a small medicine bottle.

"The United States has recently made a drug for opium addiction, and you take it back and take it. You will not be contaminated for a long time, but you can still be saved. Then he instructed Liu Yiming: "Yiming, you send him back." If he touches it again, he will come and tell me. I'm not a person of the five veins, so I don't have any mercy. At this, his eyes shone sharply. Liu Yiming didn't dare to ask more, so he left with medicine.

Xu Yicheng stood in the dark, opium box in hand, watching them leave. It wasn't until the figures of the two people completely blended into the night and couldn't be seen that he shook his head slightly, not knowing what he was sighing.

The next day, before noon, news came from Yu Peng's side, saying that after many inquiries, the whereabouts of Sun Liuzi had been found. After the abolition of the Reclamation Bureau, he never looked for any serious job, so he worked outside, living in a village called Dabaozi next to Fengtai Daying in the south of the capital.

According to Yu Fang's meaning, it is best not to report to the official for the time being, and it can be solved privately. So the clan came Yu Fang, Yu Peng, and the rich husband, as well as the Hai Lanzhu girl who went to Tanglin together that day. Xu Yicheng brought Huang Kewu with him, and Yao Lai also came with a hippie smile, without the embarrassment of last night.

The rich husband couldn't get used to it, and said Mr. Xu, why did you bring a group of children, do you want to be the king of children? Xu Yicheng smiled faintly and ignored it, but didn't say anything, but Yaolai was about to sneer at him, saying that it was better than you old thing, but he suddenly saw Hai Lanzhu, who was as beautiful as a flower, and he couldn't say anything anymore, just stared at her shyly. Hai Lanzhu was not angry, she smiled, and finally looked embarrassed about the medicine.

Yu Peng led the way, and this cadre hurriedly went to the Fengtai camp, turned seven corners and eight turns, and found the village. Next to this village is a big pond, so it's called Big Bubble. When they entered the village, they inquired with the villagers and learned that this grandson only lived with his wife, did not marry a wife, and was not considered a villager, so he built a shanty by the pond at the east end of the village and barely survived.

The group got the guidance and searched all the way, and saw in the distance a small raised dirt hill in the distance, on which there were a few jujube trees, and below was a pond. The pond is not small, there is no waterway to the outside, and it is a stagnant water. There is a layer of dark green moss on the surface of the water, the smell is particularly strong, and there are countless mosquitoes and flies lingering on it, which makes people feel uncomfortable at first sight. A crooked shanty, made of rotten wood, stood in a weedy pile between the dirt hill and the pond, black and musty. A few handfuls of thorns enclose the yard.

As they approached the shanty, there was a cry in the distance. Yu Fang and Xu Yicheng glanced at each other, and hurried over in three steps and two steps. The door was unlocked, and they pushed it open, and saw an old lady in ragged clothes crying against the stove.

When the old lady saw that so many people had suddenly broken in, she was so frightened that she immediately stopped crying. Yu Peng leaned down and slowed down his tone: "Auntie, we are friends with Sun Liuzi, where is he?" When the old lady heard this, tears flowed out again: "It's outside in the bubble." When they heard this, they were all astonished. The blisters were so dirty that they didn't want to look at them just now. Sun Liuzi stays in such a bubble, doesn't that mean that he is dead?

Huang Kewu had the best eyesight, he climbed to the dirt mountain and looked down, and sure enough, he saw a floating corpse in the grass deep in the blister. Huang Kewu and Yao came to find a long pole and fished it ashore. The corpse had been soaked overnight, and it was already swollen, but the big mole under the eyelid couldn't be wrong.

The corpse emitted a stench of rotting or pond water, and the two brothers, Yu Fang and Yu Peng, took out their handkerchiefs and covered their mouths and noses. On the contrary, Hai Lanzhu's face was as usual, looking up and down the corpse with interest. Xu Yicheng asked the old lady what was going on. The old lady trembled and said that his son had been called out last night and had not returned. At night, the old lady did not dare to go out in the dark, and only came out in the morning to look for it, only to find that her son had drowned in the bubble in front of her house.

The sixth son of the grandson floated in the depths of the blister, the old lady was alone, she couldn't drag it at all, and she was unwilling to deal with the people in the village, so she had no choice but to lean on the stove and cry. After listening to her, everyone's faces were not very good-looking for a while. Sun Liuzi is an important clue to the sale of copper chimes, and if he dies, this line will be completely broken.

The rich husband turned the corpse over expressionlessly, swept his eyes, and reached out to brush away the hair on the back of Sun Liuzi's head, Xu Yicheng and Yu Fang saw that there was an obviously concave wound on the back of their heads.

Yu Fang gasped: "This is someone who is one step ahead of us." He turned his head to look at the old lady, and his tone was obviously unkind: "Who called your son out last night?" The old lady shook her head and said that she didn't know if she saw it, and Yu Fang didn't even bluff and frighten, but she didn't ask any useful answers.

At this time, Hai Lanzhu, who had been observing the corpse, suddenly shouted: "Hey, look at what is on his wrist?" Yao Lai wanted to show it, plucked up his courage, raised the deceased's right arm, tore open the sleeve of the rag, and found that Sun Liuzi was actually wearing a string of beads on his wrist. The beads were worn relatively high, covered by long sleeves, and the whole person was swollen, so everyone didn't notice it. Hai Lanzhu's eyes are sharp enough, and she can see the clue from the slight bulge in the cuffs.

Holding back the nausea, Yao Lai took off the beads and threw his arm back in a hurry. Everyone took a closer look, and it turned out to be a string of yellow and clear tiger-striped beeswax beads.

The seven treasures of Buddhism are beeswax, carnelian, clams, pearls, coral, gold and silver, among which beeswax is mostly used to string into Buddha beads, which is quite valuable. Such a large beeswax bead is absolutely valuable, and it is extremely funny to hang on the wrist of the poor ghost grandson.

The origin of this beeswax Buddha bead could not be clearer, and it must be the burial object of the Shushen Emperor and the concubine who believed in Buddhism. This also proves that Sun Liuzi did have something to do with the Tanglin tomb robbery case, and he sold the gold copper chime to Pei Hanlin, but kept the beeswax Buddha beads.

As soon as he saw this bead, the rich husband became excited, and he took a few steps forward, wanting to take it from Yaolai's hand. Xu Yicheng stretched out his hand and stopped him. The rich husband frowned: "What are you going to do?" Xu Yicheng said solemnly: "None of you should touch it first, find out the murderer, you have to count on this string of beads." ”

The rich husband saw that he was serious, so he had to retreat stupidly. Yu Peng was stunned and said: "How did you catch the murderer with this string of beads?" Could it be that it can't speak? ”

Xu Yicheng asked Yao Lai to gently hold the Buddha beads, don't move. Yaolai stood in place with a sad face, regretting why he was in the limelight, and scolded this damn grandson a hundred times in his heart. He raised his eyes to look at Hai Lanzhu, who was staring at Xu Yicheng curiously, not looking at this side at all.

Xu Yicheng looked around and showed a smile: "Have you heard of fingerprinting?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, only Hai Lanzhu nodded. Xu Yicheng raised his palm: "We have all drawn the charge and pressed the deed, and we should all know that fingerprints vary from person to person." Thousands of people and thousands of patterns, no repetition. Westerners invented a science called fingerprints, which collect fingerprints left on the table, window lattice, dishes, chopsticks, knives and forks with **, and then compare them with others to know who it is. Used to solve crimes, invincible. ”

At that time, fingerprinting science had just been introduced to China, and even local police departments had not been popularized, let alone ordinary people, and everyone would be suspicious when they heard it. At this time, Hai Lanzhu said: "Mr. Xu is right. When I was a student in the UK, I had heard that Scotland Yard had used fingerprints to find suspects, which was quite powerful. ”

Xu Yicheng smiled at Hai Lanzhu, pointed to the beeswax Buddha beads in Yaolai's hand and said: "Beeswax is a thing that is condensed by ancient pine oil, which is soft and sticky. Whoever touches it with his finger will leave a mark. This string of beads was stolen from Tanglin, and in addition to the fingerprints of Sun Liuzi, there must still be traces of the murderer. We only need to do a simple comparison to know who killed the mouth. ”

Yu Fang frowned and said, "How to do it?" ”

Xu Yicheng said: "Only a few of us know about coming to Sun Liuzi today. So in order to clear the suspicion, let's first leave all our fingerprints and compare them with the fingerprints on the beeswax to prove our innocence. Hai Lanzhu clapped her hands and smiled: "Yes, this is really a good strategy, it is clear at a glance." As soon as she said this, Yu Fang, Yu Peng, Fu Fu and others couldn't object.

Huang Kewu went to a nearby village and quickly got a few pieces of white paper and a box of ink. Xu Yicheng said: "The medicine is a junior in my family, and I touched the Buddha beads just now." Don't count him, let's each leave the imprint of the left and right index fingers. ”

The index finger is the most commonly used and is most likely to remain on the beads. So except for the medicine, the other six people each received a blank piece of paper, dipped their fingers in the ink, left fingerprints, and then handed it over to Xu Yicheng. Xu Yicheng looked around and was silent. The rich husband urged: "See what?" You're pretending to be a ghost again!? ”

Xu Yicheng said lightly: "It seems that this murderer is among us, and he has already confessed himself." Everyone was shocked, the rich husband asked who it was, Xu Yicheng said: "Now everyone raises their hands and rushes out with their palms." ”

Everyone did what he was told, and the rich husband looked around suspiciously, but didn't see any problems. Xu Yicheng said: "Take a closer look?" The rich husband looked around again, and suddenly "Huh? With a sound, his gaze pierced Yu Peng's left hand like a knife.

Everyone has just used the ink, so there are still red stains on the two index fingers. Only Yu Peng is different, and what turns red is the index finger of his right hand and the middle finger of his left hand, which is ignored without looking closely.

Xu Yicheng said: "Yu Peng, why did you use your middle finger to leave a mark?" Yu Peng's fat face trembled, and he muttered: "Aren't the index fingers and middle fingers all the same?" ”

"It's different!" Xu Yicheng took a step closer, "Is it that when you gave the beeswax Buddha beads to Sun Liuzi before, you touched it with your left index finger, so you were afraid of being discovered, so you wanted to use your middle finger to fool the past?" ”

Yu Peng glared at his eyes and said angrily: "You don't want to spew blood!" ”

"That's what he gave you?"

"I deserved it!"

Yu Peng said a word, and the surroundings immediately fell silent. Yu Peng suddenly realized this, and shouted angrily: "You are fucking cheating on me!" ”

"If you don't have a ghost in your heart, no one can fool you." Xu Yicheng Road.

Yu Fang was furious on the side: "Wow, day and night, it's hard to prevent thieves, it turns out that you are the one who eats inside and outside!" When he raised his foot and was about to kick him, Yu Peng hugged Yu Fang's thigh and cried: "Brother, don't listen to this bastard's provocation!" I've never done anything like that! ”

The rich husband stopped Yu Fang, and looked at Xu Yicheng with a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes: "I watched Yu Peng grow up since he was a child, although this child is stubborn, he is not sorry for his ancestors." You were just playing with your tongue, but is there any other evidence? ”

Xu Yicheng glanced at Yu Peng, shook his head and sighed: "If you are so short-sighted, what is the use of me having evidence?" Tanglin matter, please be smart. After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but Yu Fang hurriedly grabbed him: "Mr. Xu, just one wrong sentence is really not good for him." If you have any other credentials, the clan will not tolerate them. ”

After getting Yu Fang's assurance, Xu Yicheng stopped and walked in front of Yu Peng: "You want evidence, right?" Okay, let me ask you, what is the orientation of Huiling's Wangling room? ”

Yu Peng didn't know why he asked this, so he opened his mouth and replied: "Facing west and facing east, facing Huiling, it is convenient to observe the movement." ”

Xu Yicheng said: "I remember when you were in Tanglin, you said that you lived in the Huiling Wangling room on the night of the theft, and at the second watch, someone stood outside with a gun pointed at you, and you only saw a human figure by the moonlight, and you didn't dare to move, only to find out afterwards that it was a corpse, right?" ”

"Right?"

Xu Yicheng sneered: "The second watch at night, the moon is obviously in the east, where can the moonlight shine into the house from the west?" ”

Yu Peng was stunned for a moment, and stammered for a long time before replying that I might have misremembered. Xu Yicheng said: "These guys even dare to blow up Tanglin, if they want to steal and excavate, they can kill you directly, why bother digging up corpses and blocking you in the house?" How can they be so nice to you? Yu Peng couldn't answer.

The rich husband and Yu Fang listened to it, and their faces became more and more gloomy. They had heard Yu Peng's story several times, and they were just angry that this kid was as cowardly as a mouse, but they didn't expect there to be so many flaws in it.

Xu Yicheng beckoned, and Huang Kewu hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his arms. Xu Yicheng said: "I collected a little explosive powder in front of the tomb that day, and asked someone to do an inspection in Tsinghua University, which is a very powerful **." This is definitely not something that ordinary bandits can get, Yu Peng, Yu Peng, are you colluding with the army? ”

Yu Peng struggled to defend himself: "Why am I robbing the ancestral tomb? As for me? ”

Xu Yicheng grabbed his sleeve and made a color on the medicine to let him smell it. Yaolai walked over with the Buddha beads, and sniffed at Yu Peng's cuff like a dog. Xu Yicheng asked what it tasted like, and Yao Lai smiled and said, "This taste is right to ask me, it's too ripe, it's ***." If you smoke a big cigarette, you have to light a cigarette lamp and turn it into a smoke bubble, so people who often play have smoky and burning sleeves and a sweet smell of smoke. ”

Now Zi Yufang and her rich husband understand everything, as long as they are addicted to big smoke, they don't care about the etiquette and honesty of their ancestors and relatives. Yu Peng also argued with self-force: "My smoking has nothing to do with guarding the tomb, you just find a to frame me!" ”

Xu Yicheng said slowly: "You really don't see the Yellow River and don't give up." He took out two pieces of paper from his body and handed them to Yu Fang and her rich husband. When they saw it, the first piece of paper was a stolen funeral item written by the rich husband.

Xu Yicheng said: "I have inquired through the five veins, and the entire antique shop in Zhili has never seen the funeral goods on this list. But I've also got another list by the way, so you can see. ”

The two of them looked at the second piece of paper again, and their brows suddenly furrowed. The list listed are all Ding furnaces, incense burners, copper deer, copper cranes, iron trees and so on, and at a glance you know that they are the lost sacrificial vessels of the ground building of Tanglin.

"I saw that the sacrificial vessels were incomplete in Tanglin, so I made a list of them, and it turned out that in recent years, these things have appeared on the market. Coincidentally, every time the person who trades, it is this grandson. If it weren't for the connivance and instruction of you, the minister guarding the mausoleum, how could he be so capable as a poor man? ”

The last knife completely broke Yu Peng's defense, and the ball sat on the ground like a deflated ball, without saying a word. Xu Yicheng said: "Since the beginning of Tanglin, I have doubted you." It's just that I didn't expect you to be so ruthless and directly kill Sun Liuzi. I had no choice but to trick you out and let you jump out on your own. ”

Hai Lanzhu clapped her hands on the side and smiled: "Brother Yupeng really suffered a loss of no culture this time, when he heard that fingerprint comparison was invented by foreigners, he thought that he could really catch the real murderer." In fact, fingerprints, even if they can be left on beeswax, will be soaked in the water for a long time. He's really trying to bluff you. ”

Xu Yicheng smiled at her: "Miss Hai Lanzhu, you are not slow to react, and you cooperate just right." If you hadn't added such a sentence next to you, Yu Peng might not have believed it. ”

Hai Lanzhu said: "Mr. Xu, you deceived people, but it's really ...... I also wanted to know who had alarmed the mausoleum and made my father feel guilty until now. Speaking of the back, she glanced at Yu Peng, although there was still a smile on her face, her tone was cold, making Yu Peng shiver.

Yu Peng was desperate at this time, so he had to explain obediently. It turned out that he was addicted to smoking very early, and the expenses were huge, and the little money he spent on Shouling couldn't make ends meet at all. So he colluded with Sun Liuzi of the Reclamation Bureau to smuggle Tanglin's things out to sell. At first, Yu Peng didn't dare to fight the idea of the mausoleum, and only dismantled some sacrificial vessels, but since he came into contact with "a golden pill", his addiction to smoking has become bigger and bigger, and it is not enough to sell sacrificial vessels. At this time, someone came to the door and asked him to cooperate with the outsiders to rob the concubine garden, and promised to share half of him after the matter was completed.

Yu Pengcai was obsessed, so he really agreed. That night, he broke up Ah Hexuan and pretended to be drunk, but in fact he was showing the way to the gang of tomb robbers. After the tomb of Emperor Shushen was blown open, the group suddenly turned their faces and only gave him a copper chime and a string of beeswax Buddha beads. Yu Peng was frightened for a long time, and entrusted Sun Liuzi to sell the copper chime and beeswax Buddha beads as soon as possible. Sun Liuzi knew about the theft of Tanglin, threatened Yu Peng to sue the official, forcibly took away the Buddhist beads in his hand, and only sold the copper chime to Pei Hanlin.

After Xu Yicheng intervened in the matter, he quickly dug up the traces of Sun Liuzi. The more Yu Peng thought about it, the more frightened he became, and then he pondered, it was better for them to find a dead grandson and six sons, and all the things would be deducted from him, and the matter would be over. So Yu Peng deliberately led them to find Sun Liuzi and took the first step to kill him, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating and was caught by Xu Yicheng.

Xu Yicheng asked, "Who is the thief who robbed the tomb?" "He is most concerned about this, because this line may be connected to Chen Weili's death. Yu Peng lowered his head and said, "I don't know, when I came into contact with me, I was masked." But when they buried ** that night, I heard them keep calling a name, maybe it's a place name, hmm...... Well, that's right, Shaoyi! ”

"Shaoyi?" Xu Yicheng was stunned. The name Shaoyi is a bit cheesy, and there are not a thousand but five hundred in the city of Beijing. He asked for details again, and Yu Peng shook his head and said that he really didn't know, and when the gang of tomb robbers came to the door, they hid their heads and tails. He knew that those were outlaws, and he didn't dare to investigate, just thinking about the money.

After listening to Yu Peng's confession, Yu Fang's face turned white with anger: "You ...... You ......" The rich husband reached over, as if to support him. Yu Peng quickly stretched out his arms and cried and said I was wrong, I was wrong. Unexpectedly, there were two clicks, and the rich husband actually took off his two arms, and Yu Peng screamed like killing a pig in pain.

Just now, the rich husband stood up to defend Yu Peng, but everyone didn't expect him to be so ruthless when he suddenly attacked. After the rich husband cleaned up, he stood up and retreated behind Yu Fang, his face was gloomy as water, and he didn't say a word.

Yaolai was so frightened that he secretly stabbed Huang Kewu: "Hey, can you unload your arms so neatly?" Huang Kewu shook his head: "If you lift weights lightly, let alone decades of hard work, I'm almost early." He glanced at Xu Yicheng again and admired it, "Have you seen it, as soon as the string of beeswax Buddha beads was discovered, Uncle Xu immediately made a game, just like scaring Wu Yuwen that day." This brain is much stronger than Uncle Yao. Yaolai was not angry, and stared at Hai Lanzhu with his eyes: "Miss Hai Lanzhu's reaction is not slow, and she immediately said how the UK is, and the two of them really have a tacit understanding." ”

Hai Lanzhu seemed to sense that the two little guys were whispering here, her apricot eyes squinted, and the two of them immediately didn't dare to speak.

Here, Yu Fang said to Xu Yicheng stubbornly: "The family is unfortunate, so Mr. smiled." This rabbit cub clan will definitely deal with it well, and as for the matter of tomb robbers, Mr. will have to worry about it......"

"Since I've taken over this matter, I'll naturally find out about it. But please don't be mistaken, I'm not here for you Manchurian clan. All you have to do is restrain your own people and stop causing trouble. Xu Yicheng was unceremonious. Yu Fang was a little embarrassed, speechless, and left in a hurry with her rich husband with Yu Peng.

Hai Lanzhu followed them for a few steps, suddenly turned around, and said curiously: "Mr. Xu, since you said that you are not a clan, then for what?" Xu Yicheng stood with his hands in his hands and did not answer. Hai Lanzhu's eyes flashed, and she didn't continue to ask, she made a British lady's salute coquettishly, and then chased after the people in front of her to leave.

Xu Yicheng stood on the edge of the blister, his face was not happy. Although the mole was found out this time, I don't know how far away it is from the truth of Chen Weili's death. What is "Shaoyi"? What was the motive for the theft of Tanglin? What does it have to do with the Japanese and the picture of the sword?

He felt as if he was pulling out a dead vine, a seemingly shallow layer, and the deeper he dug up, the more branches he felt. It wasn't until Huang Kewu called him that Xu Yicheng came back to his senses, waved his hand tiredly, and said Let's go back first.

That night, Xu Yicheng hosted a banquet for Inspector Fu Gui and several people under him in Hongbin Building to thank him for the events of the previous two days.

In this chaotic situation, the Hongbin Building, which is staggered on weekdays, is also a lot deserted, with only a few tables, and the guys are lying on the counter bored. The policemen under Fu Gui rarely had something good, and they were noisy and noisy. Only Fu Gui was expressionless with a chopstick holding exquisite dishes, but he resolutely did not drink. Xu Yicheng knew his temper, and he didn't persuade him, poured himself a glass, pulled a chair and came over with a smile.

Fu Gui raised his eyelids: "Are you causing trouble again?" Isn't that small? Xu Yicheng said: "How do you know? Fu Gui snorted coldly: "Every time you come to me for help when you make trouble, you are all this virtuous." ”

Xu Yicheng laughed, picked up the wine glass and drank it all: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal this time, I just want you to help me inquire about something." ”

"Speak." Pay a little more nonsense, no.

"Shaoyi."

Fu Gui frowned: "What is this?" Names of people or places? ”

"Those are those two words." Xu Yicheng dipped his chopsticks in wine and wrote on the table, "Are there any similar place names, allusions, buildings, nicknames or personal names near Beijing that are related to this?" ”

Fu Gui stared at these two words for a long time: "Your two words are too broad, do you have anything else?" ”

"Hmm...... It should have something to do with the army, bandits, robbers, etc. ”

The corners of Fu Gui's mouth twitched, and he put down his chopsticks with a "snap", and his expression became stern: "Xu Yicheng, what do you want to check?" As soon as Xu Yicheng saw his reaction, he knew that there was a door, and said with a smile I was just looking for an antique, do you know the origin? Fu Guihuo stood up: "Xu Yicheng, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise I won't care about this matter." ”

Xu Yicheng knew that Fu Gui was a dog's temper, so he hurriedly pressed him back, and whispered about the matter from Chen Weili's death to finding out Yu Peng, and after he finished speaking, he said with a straight face: "Fu Gui, if I stoop down to death and entrust Gu to you before I die, will you find out the truth for me and clear up my grievances?" ”

Fu Gui nodded without hesitation. Xu Yicheng said: "Chen Weili is my best friend. He died inexplicably, leaving me alone, so I can't ignore it. I've told you the truth, and don't try to persuade me to stop. Fu Gui stared at him, knowing that this bastard was a donkey temper, and if he decided, the eight horses couldn't pull it back. He was silent for a long time before he replied, "Okay." ”

"Then tell me quickly, what is Shaoyi?"

Fu Gui said slowly: "The name Shaoyi, if it is limited to powerful soldiers or bandits directly subordinate, there is only one person - Wang Shaoyi. ”

"Wang Shaoyi?" Xu Yicheng had little impression of the name.

Fu Gui was already straight-faced, but now his face tightened, as if the name was a taboo: "It's normal that you don't know, ordinary people haven't heard of it." But in the Jingshi Police Department, the Zhili Police Department, and the entire national government, the name Wang Shaoyi is a ghost. Once mentioned, there will be a plague of blood and light, and it is not a small disaster, but a major disaster. ”

Xu Yicheng saw that he was solemn, and couldn't help but straighten his waist.

"Wang Shaoyi is a bandit who is active in the Zhili area. His eldest brother Ma Futian is the leader, he is willing to be a military advisor, and there are one or two thousand bandits under his command, who specially attack and harass Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, and even Rehe and Guanwai. In the twelfth year of the Republic of China, the whole family of the big shopkeeper of Fuxiang Tongyin left Beijing and went out of the customs, and a family of 18 people disappeared halfway, and finally found a row of heads lined up by the Ji Canal, and the body and goods were missing; In the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, twelve female students and three teachers from the Beijing Normal Cide Girls' School went out on a spring outing, exposing the corpses in the valley, and the dead were all ravaged and had incomplete limbs; In the fifteenth year of the Republic of China, the Tianjin Baotong Bodyguard Bureau escorted the German business group into Beijing, and all of them died in the suburbs. Under diplomatic pressure, the National Police Agency sent personnel to investigate, and as a result, the seven detectives were broken into dozens of pieces and sent back. The government was furious and sent several battalions to conquer it, but to no avail......"

Rao is Xu Yicheng's heart, and he is cold. This cruel method of smashing corpses and killing heads at every turn has gone beyond the ordinary bandits who seek money, they are simply enjoying it, just listening to Fu Gui's description, you can smell the pungent smell of blood.

"In these cases, everyone knows that they are the real murderers, but no one dares to arrest them. This Wang Shaoyi's nickname is 'Evil Zhuge ', and he is extremely cunning. Send men to investigate, and they will kill; When the soldiers came, they ran. Later, the departments passed the buck to each other, and the National Police Agency said that this was a bandit suppression, and the military department had to send troops; The military department said that this was a local law and order incident, and it was inconvenient for the military to interfere. came and went, and simply no one mentioned the name, when he didn't exist. ”

When the policemen who were fighting next to them heard Fu Gui mention this name, they suddenly didn't dare to make trouble, and they lowered their heads one by one to pick up vegetables, and they didn't dare to come out. Fu Gui glanced at them coldly, and said: "The last time he wanted to move Wang Shaoyi was Zhang Shaoshuai, who wanted to use this gang of bandits to establish his authority and take his cronies to conquer them, but after a few battles, Zhang Shaoshuai became a prisoner instead. Finally, although Wang Shaoyi was crazy, he was not stupid, he didn't hurt the young marshal's life, and he was sent back as it was. Zhang Dashuai had no choice but to incorporate them in name, gave them the establishment of a regiment, and then announced a great victory. Now this part is stationed in Ping'an City, and it usually listens to the tune and doesn't listen to the announcement, anyway, it is even more unscrupulous to raise the banner of Fengjun. ”

Hearing Fu Gui say this, this Ma Futian and Wang Shaoyi are simply a group of bloodthirsty greedy wolves wandering on the ground of Zhili. Xu Yicheng tapped his fingers on the table, and quickly went through the map of Zhili in his mind, Ping'an City is not far from Zunhua, very close to Malanyu's Dongling. If it was Wang Shaoyi who robbed the tomb, then many things could be explained. This kind of bandit, you can kill people and corpses, how big is it to rob tombs? He put down his glass and said, "Thank you for the introduction, I understand." ”

"You don't understand!" Fu Gui glared, "What you have to face is not a person, it's an army!" ”

"Don't worry, I'm not going to suppress bandits, I'm just going to take a look." Xu Yicheng spoke kindly, but his tone was extremely firm. He got up and asked the guy to settle the bill, but Fu Gui reached out and grabbed his arm. This guy's hand strength is much bigger than Xu Yicheng's, like iron tongs. Xu Yicheng couldn't make a move, and said helplessly: "Hey, didn't we say that we wouldn't persuade me?" ”

"I'm not trying to persuade you not to go, I'm going with you." Fu Gui said.

This time it was Xu Yicheng's turn to be stunned: "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'm a police officer, and it's my duty to investigate those few unsolved cases." Fu Gui replied coldly.

Xu Yicheng stared at this cold-faced detective, he had known this guy for many years, this guy almost never smiled, but he was not very good at lying. Xu Yicheng smiled, awkwardly withdrew his hand from his pincers, and whispered thank you. Inspector Fu didn't move, still with an indifferent expression, and the chopsticks in his hand didn't even shake.

After eating for a while, they settled the bill and walked out of Hongbin Building together. At this time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and it was dark in the morning, Xu Yicheng and Fu Gui walked in the front, discussing in a low voice about going to Ping'an City. A group of policemen shouted and shouted. As soon as this group of people came out of the door of the hotel, Fu Gui suddenly frowned, and then shouted: "Get out of the way!" He kicked Xu Yicheng down the steps with one kick, and he fell backwards.

At the same time, a red-hot bullet passed through where Xu Yicheng and Fu Gui were standing just now, passed through the shoulder of a policeman behind him, and smashed the glass of the hotel door.

This shocking change made everyone stunned. The policemen were all lying on the ground and shivering for the first time. The unlucky guy who was hit fell to the ground and let out a loud **. Xu Yicheng reacted quickly, and after being kicked down the steps by Fu Gui, he rolled on the spot and hid behind a large flower pot. He looked around a little embarrassed, and saw Fu Gui leaning against a pillar, revealing a small half of his face, his eyes fixed on the undulating roof shrouded in night in the distance, and the shell gun at his waist was already in his hand.

In order to attract business, Hongbin Building also hung a large lantern with built-in electric lights at the door, which slipped eight and was dazzling, providing the best lighting for the gunners lurking in the night. He had been waiting patiently at the door, waiting for the moment when Xu Yicheng went out. After Fu Gui kicked Xu Yicheng into the flower pot under the steps, he was out of the lighting range, and the gunner could no longer aim.

This killer must have come for Xu Yicheng, Fu Gui could guess it intuitively.

As he expected, the policemen did not dare to move under the light of the big lantern, they were all live targets, but the opposite side never fired again.

The guy who rushed to hear the news pushed the door out and looked at it, and was shocked. Fu Gui glared at him: "Pull the lamp quickly!" The man quickly turned off all the big lanterns at the door, and it was suddenly dark in front of Hongbin Building. Fu Gui walked out of the pillar with a cat's waist, instructed the policemen to quickly send the injured colleague to the hospital, and then walked to Xu Yicheng's side, and took him to retreat along the oblique angle to the Hongbin Building.

Fu Gui leaned against the partition and looked at the darkness outside the door, opposite was a private house, intricately and messy, it was a good place for ambushes. Even if you don't miss, you can withdraw in time. He narrowed his eyes and estimated, muttering to himself: "Four hundred meters, one shot, basically no error." Xu Yicheng, you are a person who has been provoked. ”

With such shooting accuracy at this distance, neither the firearms nor the quality of the gunners can be achieved by the soldiers of the Feng army. The forces behind the gunners must be quite powerful. The gunman must have been in ambush since they entered the Hongbin Building, waiting for the moment to leave. If it weren't for Fu Gui's timely response, Xu Yicheng would probably have died at this time.

Xu Yicheng's face became very grim, but he was not afraid, but thinking about the meaning behind the gunshot. Is this to warn him, or is it to kill him? Is it the same group that killed Chen Weili?

"Are you still going?" Fu Gui asked in the dark.

Xu Yicheng clenched his fists, but laughed happily: "Of course, this shot shows that I am close to the truth." ”
