After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he hesitated again.

Gu Qing said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

The shopkeeper said: "If the Taoist master from there asks about painting, I will definitely explain it truthfully, Gu Gongzi, don't blame me for pulling you in." But you haven't even seen a painting, so you should be fine. ”

Gu Qing frowned, he was definitely someone who didn't want to see the sky, but if he deliberately avoided it, he would look suspicious.

He said, "Say, when will the Taoist priest come?"

The shopkeeper said: "It has to be after the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

Gu Qing nodded and said, "Well, I'll see what interesting things you have in your store, and I'm going to buy one and give it away." ”

The shopkeeper said: "You can look at it at will, look at it, I will give it to you at the cost price." ”

Gu Qing said: "It's not necessary, you can say whatever you want, business belongs to business." ”

The shopkeeper smiled, stopped talking, and let Gu Qing visit the store by himself. To be honest, the owner died, he was quite flustered before, chatted with Gu Qing for a while, and found that he was not so nervous.

As soon as he was old, he had seen a lot of people, and he knew in his heart that some people were born with a quiet and calm temperament, and they could also infect others.

Gu Qing is probably this kind of person.

Gu Qing looked around and chose a stubborn stone root carving that was not very good-looking. He said, "That's it, how much?"

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "Gu Gongzi's carving is a bit ugly to be honest, it's not good for you to buy it and give it away, or I'll go to the warehouse to find another one for you." ”

Gu Qing said: "That's it, don't you think it's very special?"

The shopkeeper said: "This thing is quite heavy, it feels like an iron lump, but it didn't cost much when I bought it back, if you value its material, take it away for ten taels of silver." ”

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Give you thirty taels, I don't want to take advantage of you too much." ”

The shopkeeper is an acquaintance in the end, Gu Qing is too lazy to pit him, mainly because although this thing is more than ten taels, it can't be sold at too high a price.

He took it back and had to work it again.

The shopkeeper said: "It's still ten taels, Gu Gongzi told me what it is about, and I will also learn the doorway inside, so as not to miss it next time I encounter it." ”

Gu Qing smiled slightly, took out the red fish and gently cut it on the root carving, revealing the texture inside, which was thin and intricate, quite shiny.

The horse shopkeeper also smelled a faint aroma.

He looked surprised, as if he was not sure, "Could it be camphor wood?"

The shopkeeper touched the incision and said, "It's true, I don't know who did it, I applied a layer of ugly paint on the outside and wrapped it tightly." Gu Gongzi's dagger is good, I have shaved it before, as if I was scraping an iron sheet, and I can't peel it off at all. Later, because of other things, I forgot about this thing. ”

Gu Qing picked up the peeled layer of lacquer and sniffed it, and said, "It seems to be a special kind of lacquer." ”

He pinched his fingers and said casually: "This lacquer seems to be good for lacquer painting." ”

As soon as he was speaking, he suddenly looked out of the door, and two catchers walked in outside, they were guarding the door, and followed the Ding Dian Prison that Gu Qing had seen.

Ding Dianjiao was a little surprised when he saw Gu Qing.

He greeted him, "Gu Gongzi, why are you here?"

Gu Qing said: "I'm buying a gadget here, and I plan to give it to Fang Lao as a Mid-Autumn Festival gift during the festival tomorrow." ”

Ding Dianjiao nodded, and he said, "Then please say hello to the boss and Miss Fang for me, I still have some official affairs related to this shopkeeper." ”

Gu Qing said: "Is there anything about the murder of the owner of the shopkeeper of the horse? This matter also has something to do with me." The painting that was discarded was originally asked by the owner of the horse shopkeeper to be repaired by me. ”

Ding Dianjiao was surprised: "Yes, shopkeeper, you tell me about this painting, I came mainly for this." ”

The shopkeeper then told the truth what he knew.

Ding Dianjiao obviously listened very attentively, and raised some doubts from time to time, because Gu Qing was there, the shopkeeper didn't panic, and he said whatever he knew.

"I've written down all these things, if you still remember anything, remember to come to the yamen to find me. Ding Dianjiao then said goodbye to Gu Qing.

As soon as the shopkeeper waited for Ding Dian Prison to leave, he sat on a chair and said, "Gu Gongzi, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid this Ding Dian Prison wouldn't be so easy to talk to." It turns out that you have a good relationship with Master Fang? I thought you just knew each other. ”

He knew from a friend that Fang Lao had obtained the fake painting that Gu Qing bought, so he guessed that Gu Qing and Fang Lao had an intersection, but seeing Ding Dianjiao selling Gu Qing's face like this, he thought that the relationship between the two must be good.

Gu Qing said: "The relationship is still good, the money will be given to you, and I will go back first with my things." ”

The shopkeeper wanted to refuse, but he felt that he had accepted it, otherwise it would have been polite. If Gu Qing was a greedy person for small profits, the shopkeeper would definitely not ask for this money, because after observing it, he felt that Gu Qing was doing things in an atmospheric manner, and he didn't like to drag mud and water, and he was polite, and he was afraid that Gu Qing would get bored.

The shopkeeper of this favor firmly remembered it, and thought that if Gu Qing could use himself in the future, he would definitely repay him with his heart. After all, if Gu Qing had left just now, the shopkeeper might have said something wrong, and Ding Dian Prison would probably take him back to the yamen because he didn't have to worry about Gu Qing.

After entering the yamen, the king of Hades was very good, but the little ghost was difficult, he was very innocent, and he was inevitably ruined.

He accepted the money and sent Gu Qing out of the door.

Gu Qing was carrying the root carving, and when he arrived at the south gate, he suddenly heard a sound of the piano. It was a blind qinist playing the guqin, Gu Qing thought it was good, so he simply paused and quietly listened to the sound of the piano beside him.

Obviously, Gu Qing was not the only one who was attracted, and slowly there were other pedestrians who were attracted and stopped.

Good music always resonates with people.

Gu Qing was deeply immersed, as if lying on the smooth water of the lake like a mirror, from time to time there was a leisurely birdsong in the distance, and the fish were swimming freely beside him.

There are also lotus flowers on the lake, which are naturally beautiful and do not need any carving.

Zizi!

Gu Qing was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously turned his head, just when he saw that the Ding Dian Prison he had just seen was not far away, he seemed to be thinking about something, and the expression should be the same as when Su Rili was considering the case.

No, not quite the same.

His expression froze and did not change.

The mouth was closed, and there was no breathing.

The tolerance behind him didn't seem to know yet, thinking that Ding Dianjiao was thinking.

Suddenly, Ding Dian's prison fell, and the seven orifices were bleeding.

Immediately after that, I don't know who called out "dead man".

The street suddenly became chaotic, and the sound of the piano came to an abrupt halt.

Gu Qing first subconsciously wanted to find the violinist, but the blind violinist had already blended into the crowd and disappeared from Gu Qing's sight in the blink of an eye.

After a little hesitation, he quickly walked to the side of the corpse in Ding Dian Prison, "Two, you guys go back to the yamen to invite someone to come, it's best to call Shang Zuo." The other one and I are right here, don't let anyone spoil the scene. ”

Gu Qing squatted down and calmly talked to the two catchers, and brushed one hand over Ding Dianjiao's face.
