Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

Chu Xujin stroked his chin and thought, You rushed into the room and what you saw, please tell me in detail.

The guest recalled carefully, As soon as I heard the scream, I opened the door and rushed into the room. At that time, I saw the deceased rolled down from the bed, clutching his neck tightly, with blood gushing from his mouth, and seemed to say something, What is...

He raised his head suddenly, It is said, you will be punished!

Chu Xujin frowned and said, Fifth sister, what he said means he knows who the murderer is.

Chu Qingzhi nodded and asked the headhunter, Where are the deceased's belongings?

The head catcher waved to the catcher behind him, and the catcher immediately walked into the room carrying a tray, Miss Chu, these are the belongings of the deceased.

In the tray were a piece of white jade that men usually wear, a simple dagger with a rice ear carved on it, a necklace carved from peach wood, and some silver tickets, scattered silver.

Chu Xujin said, Fifth Sister, people in Dongling like to use ears of rice as totems...

Chu Qingzhi is not very familiar with the customs of this era, Is there anything special about it?

Chu Xujin said, The land in Dongling is sparsely populated and the land is barren. The same rice, if our side can produce 100 catties, they can only produce 70 catties. The purpose of carving rice ears is to pray for a good harvest.

Unused areas are suitable for growing different kinds of food, not necessarily because the land is barren...

Chu Qingzhi picked up the dagger and looked at it. The handle of the dagger was severely worn, which showed that it was played or used for a long time. So, this person is still from Dongling?

The people from Dongling came to Shuiyun County and were poisoned to death in the brothel by unknown means. What is the other party trying to cover up?

Chu Xujin nodded affirmatively, Ninety-nine are not far from ten.

Chu Qingzhi said, Let's go to the inn to see what he sells.

Chu Xujin said, Okay.

...

The inn has also been controlled by the government. Now the guests in the inn are all in the lobby, and they are in a bad mood, but they can only turn a blind eye to the government people, so as not to get into trouble.

Catcher went ahead to lead the way, and a group of people came to room No. 3, Tianzi, No. 2 in the inn.

Chu Xujin asked the shopkeeper who was following behind, Do you still remember the guest who lives in this room?

The slightly bowed shopkeeper nodded, Remember, they are three Donglin people who come here about once every two months, and have stayed at my inn every time for many years.

Now it can be confirmed that it is from Tanglin.

Chu Xujin asked, They came here this time, what do you think is different?

The boss thinks carefully, the place that is not used...

The few of them came here this time, and they seemed very happy. They also said that they had made a lot of money, and they would quit working in two years. It is too hard to be a businessman.

You made a lot of money? Everyone couldn't help thinking when they heard this, could it be that they murdered because of money?

There is no solution to this problem for the time being. A few people went to see the things that the deceased brought over to sell...

Things are placed in a special place in the backyard for storing goods, and there are special people guarding them to prevent theft, fire and so on.

The three of them took the lead in going the business, and they also followed some other helpers. They pulled a lot of goods, including ten large boxes.

Chu Xujin patted the box and said in a dull voice, Open it.

The detectives came forward and hacked the key with a knife, and then opened the box...

Everyone was shocked when they saw what was in the box.

There are five large boxes containing snow-white salt, which is finer than the one sold by the government, and it weighs about 1,500 catties.

The jewels in the two large boxes were full of real gold and silver jewels, each of which was of great value.

There were three boxes left, one box contained all kinds of exquisite glazed products, and the other two boxes were precious silks, all of which were valuable things.

You don't need to ask to know there is a problem.

Chu Qingzhi looked back at Chu Xujin, Third brother, what do you think?

Chu Xujin frowned and said, Dongling is close to the vast and boundless sea area, and it is the main place where Daling produces salt. Illegal salt has been banned repeatedly. These salts should be illegal salt.

Although it is the main place for salt production, salt is controlled by the government, so this place should be poor or poor.

Chu Xujin continued, As for jewelry, it can be seen that the source is not correct...

If you're in this business, jewelry is usually made of raw materials and carved directly by the master in the local area. It will not be shipped in such a large amount to other places. Every place has its own customs and hobbies. Everyone likes different styles, and they will not look far away.

Furthermore, even if you want to ship, you don't ship finished products, but raw materials. If you really want to ship finished products, you should ship them out of the capital. The capital is the place that everyone is vying to imitate. People in the capital rarely follow suit. Foreign things.

The last point is that jewelers usually send their own men to deliver jewelry, and they will never be handed over to merchants.

Chu Qingzhi reminded, Third brother, these jewels are all contaminated with corpse energy.

Chu Xujin was taken aback, Are these jewels... obtained from tomb robbery?

Chu Qingzhi said, Yes, only the funeral objects will be contaminated with corpse aura.

Chu Xujin took a deep breath, If you want to rob the tomb, how many tombs will you have to rob?

Chu Qingzhi said, If it's a prince or aristocrat, a tomb is enough.

Ge Lihua came over, took out a gold jade bracelet from the box, carefully inspected the color and color, This gold jade bracelet is bright in color, hollowed out and carved, but the craftsmanship seems to be different from the current one.

She thought for a moment, This should be the most popular and everyone's favorite color at the Tangling.

Chu Xujin looked at Ge Lihua with a hint of admiration, Do you know jewelry?

Ge Lihua nodded slightly, her family also had a jewelry business, she knew a thing or two, A little bit.

The head catcher glanced at the crowd and asked, What about Liuli?

Ge Lihua said, The place where colored glaze is abundant is a subsidiary country of Daling, called Chen'an Country. Daling's colored glaze basically comes from Chen'an Country, which is very valuable and is usually bought by rich families.

The head catcher patted the box, Then what about the silk?

Silk is as precious as salt and iron. People who can afford silk are either aristocratic families or those wealthy businessmen. Ordinary people can't see it.

Chu Qingzhi secretly thought, this is not a merchant, but a smuggling gang!

Chu Xujin said, Generally, merchants only sell things for common people, not such precious things.

He turned to the helpers and asked, Where did you get these things?

Those helpers were already stupid, and they didn't react until they were questioned.

The helpers all knelt down and said in fear, We are all from poor families in Dongling. We are temporarily hired to help deliver goods. We don't know anything else.

Chu Xujin asked, Then where are these shipments going?

The helpers were terrified, We are only responsible for delivering the goods, and we don't know anything else.
