Another villager said: "Coincidentally, during this time, antiques such as ancient tables and ancient windows of several villagers in the village have disappeared. For a while, the people in the village were panicked and discussed. Even the dozens of ancient books that had been circulated in the family of Uncle Hu, an old scholar in the west of the village, for three generations, disappeared overnight. ”

Di Renjie led the crowd to Uncle Hu's house in the west of the village. The old man is eighty years old this year, and his body is very weak.

Through the introduction of the village, Uncle Hu was a well-known old talent in the township at that time, who liked to dance and write ink, wrote many poetry collections, medicine books, etc., and also collected many ancient books, and collected more than 100 ancient books left by his ancestors at home.

Old Man Hu's eyes were red from crying, he looked at Di Renjie with his eyes, and said tremblingly: "My ancestors didn't leave anything valuable, these books are my treasures, so I didn't come, it is better to take my life!" ”

"Uncle Hu, have these books ever been sold?" Di Renjie asked tentatively.

"I don't sell those books for any amount of money, they're priceless!"

The village is sighing: "Our village has never suffered from war, many of them have more than 100 years of objects, and the objects in the family ancestral hall are even more precious, and it is sad to lose a lot of them overnight." In my opinion, most of them are collusion between inside and outside, and they are guarding and stealing. Some time ago, Liu Wushen, the watchman on duty, was secretive, and he was the most suspicious. ”

Liu Wu, who was standing in the back, heard it clearly, but this time he was angry and even his liver and lungs, and he jumped to his feet and shouted: "Don't let you spew blood, although I, Liu Wu, am idle, but the way to get money is also based on my own ability, and Liu has never been involved in stealing, and besides, what evidence do you have to say that I am a thief inside and outside?" ”

The village was really stopped by Liu Wu, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Di Renjie just listened to the two of them arguing, and had no intention of answering. Lead his subordinates to check around Chiling Village, stand on the high hill and look around, no wonder there are many historic sites in this village, most of them are surrounded by mountains, and they have never been involved in war. It seems that the possibility of internal thieves is higher than that of external thieves, and most of them are done by people who know the root cause to seduce foreign thieves.

"Folks, this case seems to be quite complicated by this official, and it is too early to conclude who is the culprit, and besides, it is definitely not a day or two to solve the case, and we will do it again when the official goes back." Di Renjie's plan to delay the army was actually his own plan.

Before leaving, he whispered a few words to Liu Zhutou, Liu Zhutou understood, and took his own people around the village, and Di Renjie took the others back to Zhangwu County.

As soon as he arrived outside the county seat, Di Renjie was not in a hurry to return to the county government and looked out from afar. Half an hour later, a mule cart drove out of the city, and a big green mule flew away and dragged the cart out of the city with four hooves. Di Renjie just glanced at the car inadvertently, and found that the car was covered with a black cloth, which was bulging, and it should be a large item covered with a piece of cloth, and its shape looked very much like a rectangular table.

Di Renjie was suspicious, normal moving and pulling goods are tied with ropes to tie furniture, why is this moving house covered with a black cloth, is it afraid that people will see the inside story.

Di Renjie waved his hand to block the way of the mule cart, and the owner of the cart pulled the reins and the mule cart stopped.

"Uncle, what are you carrying in this car?" Di Renjie asked kindly.

The boss of the car didn't know how to answer correctly, and the two people who jumped out of the car saw Di Renjie and recognized it as the new Zhixian at a glance, and hurriedly looked flattering: "Isn't this the county magistrate, we are guys from the Li family's antique store in the east of the city, and we have to deal with a batch of old furniture, this is not our responsibility for escorting out of the city." Hey.. ”

Di Renjie saw that the two of them were talking in a careless tone, his face was red and white, and there was nowhere to put his hands and feet, there must be a ghost.

Di Renjie glanced at a native soldier, who walked forward, pushed away the two guys, and uncovered the black cloth on the body, inside was a table of eight immortals, and the rosewood table top was lit by the noon sun. Although Di Renjie is not an antique expert, he must know that the history is not short by looking at the carved outline of the table.

"Is this your thing?" Di Renjie asked coldly.

"Ah, yes, it's my desk." A fellow replied.

"Oh? That's right. I want to ask for advice, see that the color and wood of these eight immortal tables are first-class, I don't know which dynasty it is, I hope that the little brother will give me some advice. ”

"Han Dynasty, Northern Dynasty." A guy said pretentiously. And the other guy was sloppy at Di Renjie.

As soon as Di Renjie saw that the two guys did not match the preamble, he knew that the origin of this table was unknown. Ordered the local soldiers to take the guy and the car boss to the county office to ask what happened.

Where have the two guys seen this formation, and the officials on both sides slammed the water and fire sticks to the ground, making a shocking sound.

"Dut, the two of you are really recruited, where do you want to transport these Eight Immortal Tables, and where does it come from? Di Renjie said mightily.

"Back to the eldest master, we don't know it, it's all the owner who asked us to transport the table to Bianzhou to sell, in exchange for silver and take refuge outside for a while." A guy said with a grunt.

The owner of the antique shop was summoned to court and knelt on the ground: "Eh." I don't know what is the important thing for adults to summon Xiaoke? ”

Di Renjie looked at this person in this hall, with a yellow and white face, a knife face, and a pair of mouse eyes flying around, as far as his face was concerned, this person was by no means ordinary.

"Do you know these two next to you?" Di Renjie asked coldly.

"I know, they are guys in my shop, one is called Niu Qi, and the other is called Ma Ba."

"They said they were sent by you to go out of the city to sell furniture, but where did this furniture come from?"

"Back to my lord, a cart of furniture was purchased from a wealthy family, and I still have the purchase papers." Pulling out his sleeve, he took out a piece of paperwork.

Di Renjie took the paperwork, and it looked like the document was very regular, but if you looked carefully, there were some sources, why the ink was still wet, and the paper was very new.

"Let me ask you, when was the furniture purchased at the rich man's house, and when was the paperwork written?" Di Renjie asked.

"Some time ago, I went to another county and met a wealthy family selling ancestral furniture, so I wrote down the documents and bought them at a high price, and I was ready to sell them at a high price to make a price difference."

"Since it was a few days ago, how can the handwriting on this document look like it was just written, and the ink is still on your hands, and how can this be explained?"

"It's 、。。。。。 It's possible that the weather is wet and the ink hasn't dried yet! The owner explained.

"Haha, what a joke, the weather is dry just after the early spring, how can the ink not dry for a few days, you are clearly making something out of nothing, using fake documents to coax the official. Tell me quickly, did you do the case of the loss of Chiling Village? If you don't recruit it truthfully, you will be punished and waiting! Di Renjie said sharply.

The owner of the antique store was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that he was self-defeating, and he thought that writing a document could fool him around, but it just had the opposite effect. In order not to suffer from the flesh and skin, he had to recruit them all.
