Qian Bancheng took a lot of effort to pull up his trouser leg again, and sure enough, a bruise appeared on his calf.

Di Renjie's eyes widened slightly, and he said, "When were you beaten by Zhao Da?" ”

"Three days ago..."

"What did he hit you with?"

"Hmmm! It seems to be a flat shoulder! ”

"What do you mean, yes or no? Recruit truthfully! ”

“。。。。 Flat Dan, indeed Flat Dan. ”

After asking Qian Bancheng, Di Renjie looked at Zhao Dadao again: "Zhao Da, you can beat Qian Bancheng, tell the truth, don't lie!" ”

Zhao Da hurriedly shook his head and said, "No... No... My lord, Qian Bancheng is full of nonsense, three days ago, he rushed to the grass people's house with more than a dozen family members, wanting to rob my family's treasure, but the grass people didn't give it, and they slapped me! In the end, the grass people desperately didn't let them take the jade tripod away, so they gave up, but they didn't expect the thief to shout to catch the thief, but the grass people were sued! ”

"Where is Yuding now?" Di Renjie asked again.

"Now in the grass people's house!"

Di Renjie nodded, and instructed Liu Zhutou to go to Zhao Da's house and get the jade tripod, fortunately, Zhao Da's house was not too far from the yamen, and soon Liu Zhutou brought the jade tripod, and Liu Zhutou presented the jade tripod to Di Renjie. Di Renjie took it in his hand and looked at it, this tripod is only three feet high, it is indeed made of fine jade, and the workmanship is very fine, the texture of the front and back is carved very delicately, no wonder the two of them fight to the death.

Di Renjie looked at it for a while, then put the jade tripod on the table, and said, "Qian Bancheng, this official will ask you one last time, can you see clearly, the things on this table are really your family heirlooms?" Di Renjie said solemnly.

Qian Bancheng glared at Luo Luo in his heart, paused and said: "That's right, this is really Xiaomin's family heirloom, even if it turns to ashes, I will recognize it!" ”

Di Renjie sneered, looked at the jade tripod in front of him, and his eyes turned to his heart.

"Since the two of you both claim that the jade tripod is a treasure handed down from each family, you know what the texture on it is, why don't you tell me?"

The two people in the hall said in unison: "Please ask!" ”

Di Renjie picked up the jade tripod and looked at it, and his eyes fell on Zhao Da. "Zhao Butcher, first tell me what the pattern on the front of the jade tripod is carved?"

"I know, it is three flame patterns, and the flames are connected by long bands, which means that life is getting more and more prosperous." Zhao Dali replied confidently.

glanced at Master Luo beside him, saw that he was nodding to himself with a smile, and asked, "Then Qian Bancheng, can you tell me about the pattern on the back of the jade tripod?" ”

"Hmmm! …… I remembered that the back was a thin yin line pattern, carved with a red bird, a long feather, a bead in the mouth, a three-qi tail, standing with wings outstretched, and a ribbon and cross-shaped cloud beside it. ”

Strangely, both of them replied accurately. Di Renjie weighed the weight of the jade tripod, and thought of a plan again.

Di Renjie glanced at Zhao Erdan and said, "Butcher Zhao, do you know how much this jade tripod weighs?" “

Zhao Daxi said: "Back to my lord, the grass people once weighed, and there were ten catties and five taels of weight!" ”

Di Renjie nodded, glanced at Qian Bancheng and Qian Fu coldly, and said, "Qian Bancheng, you can talk about the weight of Yuding." ”

"Back to my lord, Yuding does weigh ten catties and five taels, there is no fake at all, I don't believe that adults can be called." Qian Bancheng said proudly.

Di Renjie asked someone to take a scale and weighed the jade tripod in front of everyone, and sure enough, it was the same as what he said, ten catties and five taels.

At this time, Di Renjie fell into deep thought, if you want to talk about one person's things, how can there be two masters, is it indeed stolen by Zhao Da.

The lobby was silent, and the silence made people's hairs cold. Suddenly, Di Renjie's eyes lit up, and he remembered what happened in the Three Saints Niangniang case, why not do this.

Shen Yin: "The two of you have your own opinions, and the evidence is insufficient, so the official can't pronounce the verdict for the time being, so be it!" This jade tripod is said to have been handed down by the ancestors, so there must be a god attached to the tripod, then the ancestral gods are called to identify their current masters! ”

Di Renjie's words were amazing, causing the people in the hall to look at each other and discuss loudly. Although the people believe in heaven and earth very much, but after all, everyone has never seen the real immortals, this new county order actually said that Yuding himself recognized the Lord, that is not to ask the ancestors to manifest their spirits? They were all curious.

Di Renjie instructed a servant to take an incense burner, light three pillars of incense, insert it in the incense burner, and place the incense burner inserted in front of the jade ding. Di Renjie smiled slightly, looked at the three people under the hall, and glanced at the people outside the hall again. said: "Okay, Zhao Da, Qian Bancheng, one of the two of you must be the owner of this jade tripod, so now, you two pray in front of this jade tripod!" After a stick of incense, the souls of the ancestors will naturally tell the official who is the master of the jade tripod. Of course, you have to be religious, otherwise it won't work. ”

When Zhao Da heard it, he felt very strange, but he had to listen to the words of the eldest master, so he quickly closed his eyes, and folded his hands with a face full of piety, but Qian Bancheng was full of apprehension in his heart, but he didn't dare not listen to Di Renjie's words, he didn't forget the twenty slaps he had just been beaten! So it's just for show.

The discussion outside the hall became even stronger, and some people's faces were full of anticipation, wanting to see if this new county order could really make the ancestral soul recognize the Lord by itself. Some of them showed a hint of ridicule, thinking that this Master Di couldn't investigate it, but just wanted to prevaricate.

Di Renjie completely ignored the gazes of these people, so that he could sit in the public court and wait for the passage of time.

Soon the time for a stick of incense passed, and the three pillars of incense in the incense burner had also burned out. Di Renjie picked up the jade tripod on the table, left his seat, walked slowly to the center of the hall, looked at everyone with a smile, and said, "Okay, the gods of the ancestors have already reminded the official who is his master!" ”

As soon as Di Renjie's words came out, everyone was even more puzzled, just now they all stared at Yuding with a concerned expression, where did they see any gods appearing.

Di Renjie glanced at the jade tripod in his hand, then raised it high, and said, "Everyone, please see, this is the tip that Yu Dingsa gave to this official!" As he spoke, the other pointed to a black spot on the top of the jade tripod.

The people outside the hall suddenly widened their eyes and looked at the jade tripod, only to see a pitch-black spot appear on the front of the jade tripod, this is? But they still don't know why. What does this dark spot mean?

Di Renjie glanced at Zhao Da and Qian Bancheng, and said loudly: "This official just looked at the jade tripod, and found that there was a lot of oil stains on it, this Zhao Da is a butcher, and he must be slaughtering pork for a living on weekdays, if the jade tripod is his family, it is normal to stick some lard, and Qian Bancheng can be regarded as the rich man of our Zhangwu County, I think that such exquisite and high-quality jade tripods will definitely be well preserved, how can it be stained with such tassels..." The rich man of money. ”
