Chapter 1126

Something wrong with the stone?

This sentence was just heard by the leading bodyguard guarding the city gate.

He immediately asked, "what's wrong?"

"The stone is too light."

"Too light?" The bodyguard rolled up his sleeves and said, "show me."

He took the stone.

Take it in your hand.

It's really light!

Strange!

The leading bodyguard immediately put the stone on the ground and asked the old merchant, "why is the stone so light?"

The old merchant stared at the stone, frowned and wondered, "how can a stone be light? It's impossible."

"Then move it yourself."

The old businessman hurried to try it himself.

Don't try, don't know, try and scare!

"How... How did this happen?"

Why is such a big stone so light?

It looks hollow!

As soon as the guard's eyes tightened, he immediately became vigilant and asked, "is there anything in this stone that shouldn't be loaded?"

"Officer, these are all gambling stones! How can there be something in the gambling stone that shouldn't be loaded? And... I don't know why this stone is so light. I checked it myself before I came here. There's no such situation."

"Then open it."

"No!"

"Why?"

"Didn't you say that just now? These are gambling stones, which are to be sold to others. If I open it, how can I do this business?"

Gambling stone gambling stone, as the name suggests, is used for gambling.

Some people will identify whether the stone has precious jadeite according to the size, shape and grain of the stone, and choose to buy these "stones".

Some people buy it and open it. There are stones in it, but others bet right and get rich overnight.

Now listen to the bodyguard to open it. Of course, old businessmen are not allowed!

But the bodyguard was so angry that he wanted to pull out the long sword he was wearing at his waist and said, "I suspect there is something wrong with your stone. There may be something shady in it. Now open it immediately. Someone, open the stone."

Give the order!

Old businessmen really can't help it.

I had to stand aside and watch.

All the people at the gate of the city also fixed their eyes on the strange stone.

Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu are no exception.

They also wondered why the stone was so light?

Is there something strange in it?

Soon, the gate officer brought the tool to open the stone.

The stone was chiseled open in a few strokes.

At the moment of chiseling, something rolled out of it.

The thing rolled on the ground twice.

Just stop!

When they saw it, they were stunned on the spot!

For three seconds, time seemed to be fixed.

Immediately——

"Ah!"

The crowd began to panic.

Fleeing.

Or squeeze together.

Terrified.

But Ji Yunshu and Jingrong stood still calmly.

Quietly staring at such "strange" things on the ground.

A... Skull!

The guards at the gate were also completely shocked.

This is the first time they have encountered such a thing.

There is a skeleton in the stone!

Almost without thinking, the leading bodyguard immediately pointed to the old merchant and his man and ordered: "catch it."

Seven or eight bodyguards rushed out and immediately surrounded the merchants.

The old businessman and his guys were also stunned.

They knelt to the ground.

The old merchant said, "officer, this... This has nothing to do with me!"

"It has nothing to do with you? There is a skeleton hidden in the stone. How dare you say it has nothing to do with you? Say, where did it come from?"

"I don't know! My Lord, I really don't know."

"This is a homicide case. If you don't tell the truth, you will have good fruit to eat."

"My lord... Wronged!"

"The stone is yours. The skeleton is inside. Dare you shout injustice." The leading bodyguard said to the little Bodyguard: "hurry to the city Department and report the matter."

"Yes!" The little bodyguard went.

The merchants were detained directly at the gate of the city.

Because it was very likely to involve a homicide, the city gate guard had to immediately order to temporarily block the main gate and open a door on the left to let people in and out.

Jingrong's carriage was blocked by those stones and the wheels were broken, so it had to stay where it was.

Ji Yunshu stared at the skull when it rolled out.

According to the characteristics of the skull, it's a woman!

And the time of death should be more than three years.

But the details need further inspection.

Knowing what she was thinking, Jing Rong pulled her hand and whispered, "this matter has nothing to do with us. This is Gao Ding. Don't interfere."

"I understand."

"Don't worry, someone will check it. If such a big Gao Ding doesn't even have a person to solve the case, it's a joke."

She nodded.

After they entered the city, they found several Inns along the road.

But they are full!

After all, the imperial examination is imminent.

Song Zhi said, "Mr. Jing, now Gaoding is full of people. The imperial examination is approaching, and all the inns are full. If you don't dislike it, you might as well live with me! Before I came, Mr. Zhang gave me a key to his ancestral house, which should be enough for us to live together."

Baiyin was the first to refuse.

"No, Gao Ding is so big that he can't even have an inn."

"But it's more convenient to live in a private house. Although I don't know why you came to Gaoding, something happened in the Mountain Inn before. If you live in the inn again, it must be unsafe. You'd better live with me."

Song Zhi is on the point!

The inn is really unsafe and inconvenient. Jing Rong wavered and whispered to Bai Yin, "we don't know when we can find that man. In short, we should be careful. If we stay in the inn for a long time, it won't work. It's better to live with the nerd. After all, he is an official who comes to take part in the imperial examination, and he can cover it for us at that time

A mask of identity. "

Hearing this, Bai Yin wavered.

Think about it.

Yes!

At this time, the sincere department.

Li Cheng has been idle for two days. He eats and drinks every day.

Now, I'm sitting inside eating melon seeds with my legs crossed.

The ground is covered with melon seed shells!

awfully.

Suddenly, a small official rushed in.

He shouted, "my Lord, it's not good."

With this cry, Li Cheng almost choked.

He looked unhappy and glared at the little official: "what are you shouting? Are you going to choke me?"

"My Lord, something... Has happened!"

"What's up?"

"There was a murder at the gate of the city!"

Homicide?

As soon as Li Cheng heard this, his face changed greatly. He sat upright and asked, "what homicide case? Who is dead? Is Gong Shilin of Gong Zuo's family dead?"

Uh!

The little official twitched at the corners of his mouth.

Li Cheng is really eager to die. It's Gong Shilin.

In this way, sister doesn't have to marry him.

I also have a dead enemy.

But the little official said, "my lord misunderstood. It's not master Gong. It's a skeleton exposed from a stone. Now it's waiting for you to go."

There is no Dali temple in Huyi.

There is no Jingzhao mansion.

Only six.

So where it happens, it's up to you to do it yourself.

The city gate homicide case is under the jurisdiction of the city Department.

In other words, Li Cheng took over the case.

Hearing that there was a skeleton in the stone, Li Cheng suddenly came to his senses.

This is a new thing!

He has traveled far and wide for so many years and has never heard of it.

Throw the melon seeds on the ground.

He left the house without looking back.

Said, "go and watch the excitement!"

Small official shame! Keep up now.
