15 Jiahe Mystery Case (4)

Seeing that Yun Zhi did not dislike her, Ah Yu quietly stuck out his tongue, and continued to tell the ancient legend of Yanguo-

"Most of us in Yanguo are the relics of the Gu Xilou clan, a long, long time ago, huh...... There must be more than 300 years, it is rumored that the ancestors of the West Building have met the gods, and the gods have favored them, and they have been given the secret method of immortality, one of which is the secret method of borrowing life to continue, legend has it, as long as in a specific hour, according to the five elements of the art to gather the souls of five people, these souls are placed in the jade cong refining for seven days and seven nights, and then introduced into the body of the person who needs to continue life, after the soul is fused, this person can get immortality. ”

After listening to this, everyone had different expressions.

Xiao Yi sneered: "Are you sure that your ancestors met a heavenly god, not the king of Hades?" ”

Yun Zhi looked at Xiao Yi very approvingly and nodded fiercely.

Pei Shun didn't seem surprised by this, but there was no expression on his face, while Lu Shenjun looked serious and thoughtful.

After a while, Lu Shenjun speculated: "So, it is very likely that the town mayor Xu Hu used this secret method in order to renew his son's life, and he killed those five people to take their souls?" ”

He didn't believe it himself, but he believed that a father could do anything for his son.

"It's not that hard." Xiao Yi said lightly, "You only need to send someone to check the birth dates of Xu Youli and the people who were killed, as well as the time of death of those people, to confirm whether he is a murderer." ”

"And where is the real Yucong!" Yun Zhi hurriedly added.

Xiao Yi nodded, "Yes, Yu Cong is the key to this case, find Yu Cong, and everything can be connected." ”

Pei Shun said: "That rune may also be a key clue. ”

Seeing that they were analyzing one by one, Lu Shenjun sighed and reminded: "Everyone, I am the chief envoy of the Criminal Prosecution Division. ”

Ah Yu smiled and threw a wink at him, "Then please ask the Lord to find out as soon as possible, we don't want to miss the sword appreciation conference." ”

Lu Shenjun's ears turned red, and he got up and went out.

Ah Yu seemed to be a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Zhizhi, your brother won't be married yet, right?" It's too indiscriminate. ”

Yun Zhi blinked, "That's right." He squinted at her again and smiled, "What, you want to be my sister-in-law?" ”

Ah Yu hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't want it!" Lord Lu always has a cold face, it's really boring, I don't like him like this. ”

As she spoke, her eyes wandered over the two men, "I still prefer Pei Gongzi like this." ”

Yun Zhi glanced at Pei Shun, only to be puzzled: "Isn't he also an ice cube face?" What's the difference with my second brother? ”

"That's different!" Ah Yu argued, "Pei Gongzi looks handsome and has a better temperament. ”

Yun Zhi was unconvinced, "Isn't my second brother good-looking?" That upright face, how reassuring it looks! ”

"Pei Gongzi ......" As soon as Ah Yu spoke, Pei Shun interrupted their argument with a loud voice, and his face seemed to be a little impatient, "Enough!" Bored! ”

After that, get up and leave.

Yun Zhi seized the opportunity and hurriedly persuaded: "Ah Yu, you see that he has such a bad temper, why do you like him, it's better for my second brother!" ”

Ah Yu didn't listen to a word, just looked at the door with a stupid expression, "It's so good-looking!" ”

"......" Yun Zhi was speechless for a while, glanced at Xiao Yi, and saw the word helplessness in their eyes.

。

When night falls, it is still a night with the moon hanging high, and the town is silent and sparsely lit.

The criminal prosecutor's department and others surrounded the ancestral hall in the south of the town, and there was a group of people gathered in the ancestral hall, not to mention seventy or eighty people.

Most of these people were townspeople, and a few of them had come to join in the fun, and at this moment, they were all standing in the courtyard of the ancestral hall, and in front of them there was a long table with several square-shaped objects on the table. Lu Shenjun, the chief envoy of the Criminal Prosecution Department, led a few people to stand at the table, facing everyone, saying that he wanted to uncover the truth that the mayor was killed by thunder in front of everyone.

After waiting for a while, I didn't see any movement from the adults, and gradually some of the townspeople lost their patience and began to mumble and discuss. Lu Shenjun and the others didn't hear it, and only stood quietly at the table, occasionally looking up at the sky.

After an unknown time, a gust of autumn wind swept through the broken leaves, and immediately, a few sounds were faintly heard in the sky.

Ah Yu nodded at everyone, "It's coming!" ”

The little envoy beside Lu Shenjun immediately shouted to everyone in the courtyard: "Please take three steps back!" Fast! All of them! Take three steps back! ”

Although the people in the courtyard didn't know why, when they saw the serious faces of several adults, they obediently took three steps back.

Everyone just stood still, only to see the white light fall in front of them, and then the crackling sound exploded in their ears, everyone was stunned, and looked at it, there was a square on the table in front of the sky that was struck by a thunderbolt, and the table was immediately split out of a big hole, and the square fell from this hole on the ground paved with stone slabs under the table, making a crisp sound.

Everyone was frightened, and they retreated several steps back again and again, for fear that the thunder would not grow that day and affect themselves.

The people at the table also took a few steps back, and waited until the sky cleared again, and then they stepped forward again.

Lu Shenjun pointed to the hole on the table that had been split, looked at the frightened crowd, raised his voice and said, "I have placed three items of the same size on this table, do you know why this thunder hit the left one?" ”

There were a few merchants in the crowd, who were well-informed, and after careful observation, they replied: "Although these three things are the same size, but the materials are different, these two pieces are jade and wood, and this one was struck ......"

"It sounds like iron." When this man spoke, Lu Shenjun had ordered someone to fish out the hit block from the hole, and this person boldly stepped forward when he saw this, and after taking a closer look, he turned around and looked at the people in the courtyard, "This piece is copper!" ”

Everyone was still at a loss.

Lu Shenjun continued to explain: "I have checked the local chronicles, every September, Jiahe Town will have different degrees of thunder and lightning after nightfall, everyone lives here all year round, it should be no stranger, right? ”

There was a muttering discussion in the crowd.

"Yes, it does." The old man standing at the front of the crowd nodded, and asked suspiciously: "There is indeed a period of thunder and lightning since the beginning of autumn every year, but what does this have to do with the mayor's affairs?" ”

"You have also seen just now, three items of the same size, but the thunder and lightning only split this copper, this is because among these three materials, only copper will transmit thunder and lightning, so the copper is struck, but the jade and wood are not damaged." Lu Shenjun pointed to the things on the table, and then used a handkerchief to pick up the blackened copper that had been struck by lightning and showed it to everyone, "Last night, what Mayor Xu Hu held in his hand was a copper cong that could transmit thunder and lightning, so it would attract thunder to split." ”

Before the words fell, everyone was already discussing, and someone shouted: "How is this possible! What we offer in the ancestral hall is Yucong! It was a relic of Princess Jiahe a hundred years ago, how could it be turned into copper! ”

"That's right, how did this jade cong become a copper cong?" Lu Shenjun took the man's words, and looked at everyone's eyes with a hint of doubt, "This question, I am also deeply confused, the ancestral hall has always been guarded day and night, why was the jade cong replaced with copper cong?" ”

"It won't be that someone stole the jade cong, forcing the old mayor to have no choice but to take a copper one!" Someone shouted.

Lu Shenjun's gaze immediately locked on the man, "Oh? So who is this person? ”

The crowd was silent for a moment, and suddenly, someone shouted, "I know! It must be Zhao Gaoshan! When something happened to the mayor, he was the happiest, and he must have stolen our treasure! It's definitely him! ”

Immediately, a woman jumped out and retorted, "You don't have much blood!" My family Gao Shan is a scholar, so he won't do this kind of thing! ”

Someone shouted again: "What's wrong with the reader! Readers know a lot! Maybe Gao Shan did this evil thing because he knew that this copper and iron could lead to thunder and lightning! We don't know a few big characters, if it weren't for Lord Lu's words today, who would know what to lead to lightning and lightning! I see, it's that Zhao Gaoshan! ”

"Impossible! Impossible! The woman's face flushed, but she could not think of anything to argue.

Lu Shenjun took two steps forward, looked at the two people who insisted that it was Zhao Gaoshan who stole the jade cong, almost put his face on the nose, and asked, "Then tell me, what is Zhao Gaoshan's purpose in stealing the jade cong!" ”

The two of them were stunned, subconsciously took a step back, lowered their heads and whispered, "This...... This ......"

Seeing that the two of them were speechless, Lu Shenjun turned his head to look at the old man on the side again, and his tone softened slightly: "Why don't you ask this Uncle Xu to tell you when the jade cong was stolen." ”

Uncle Xu stayed in the ancestral hall day and night, and everyone naturally believed his words, so when they heard that Yucong had been stolen six days ago, everyone was silent.

The aborigines of the town are concentrated in the south, everyone knows what is going on in every household, Zhao Gaoshan only came back from Luozhou three days ago, and they all know this matter, if Yucong has been stolen six days ago, it is obvious that the person who stole it can never be Zhao Gaoshan.

At this moment, suddenly a black shadow rushed out of the ancestral hall and went straight to the direction of Uncle Xu, Lu Shenjun's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the person's shoulder, and at the same time, the two voices sounded in unison almost at the same time.

"Courteous!"

The boy who was tightly clamped couldn't move for a moment, and could only grin at the person who clamped him.

"Lord Lu, he's just a child, let him go." Uncle Xu looked at the young man, his eyes full of distress.

Lu Shenjun squinted at the young man and was unmoved.

Yun Zhi hurriedly stepped forward, pointed to his head, and pleaded, "Second brother, it's not good to be polite here, but his heart is not bad." ”

The young man recognized Yun Zhi and whined in his mouth, Yun Zhi took a deep breath, raised his hand and touched his head, and took out another piece of candy, and coaxed: "Be polite, you have to be well-behaved, don't mess around anymore, sister just let this brother let you go, okay?" ”

The young man hurriedly nodded vigorously, Yun Zhi glanced at Lu Shenjun, he let go of his hand slightly, and saw that the young man was indeed no longer moving, so he completely let go of him. The power that restrained him finally disappeared, and the boy opened his hand to take the candy and stuffed it into his mouth.

Yun Zhi looked at him, smiled helplessly, the young man ate the candy, suddenly took out a small box from his arms and stuffed it to Yun Zhi, and issued two clear syllables: "Here you go!" ”

After speaking, he quietly raised his eyes to look at Yun Zhi, revealing a shy expression for the first time. Not far away, Xiao Yi took his facial expression into his eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What is this?" Yun Zhi glanced at the young man and was about to open the box, but Uncle Xu seemed to want to stop her, but he was a step too late.

In the delicate box, there is a finely carved jade cong, which seems to be made of excellent materials, or it may be a perennial offering, and this jade cong also exudes a faint luster.
