Zhuque County.
Yi Jiangchun.
There are a total of thirty-five rough stones, and the cutter cuts all the rough stones.
However, there are only three rough stones containing jade.
Mickey's face suddenly darkened.
"I spent several thousand taels of silver to buy a bunch of broken stones. If this isn't fake, who would believe it?"
Mickey said coldly.
"No way, how come there are so few?"
Shopkeeper Shi muttered to himself, he was also confused.
"Shopkeeper Shi, is this the way your Shi family does business?" Mi Qi stared into Shopkeeper Shi's eyes.
"Master Ye, Shi will definitely give you an explanation."
Shopkeeper Shi bowed his hands.
"Okay, I'll give you some time."
Mickey nodded.
Later, shopkeeper Shi arranged a guest room for Mickey.
Mickey was sitting on the armchair. The conditions in the guest room were quite good.
Calligraphy and painting, mahogany tables, carved stoves, etc., the overall configuration is very luxurious.
Tsuneshiro walked in quickly from outside.
"Mr. Ye, shopkeeper Shi has personally led people to investigate."
Tsuneshiro had a smile on his face.
"Has this happened before?" Mickey asked while eating fruit.
"It has happened before, but it was different before. In the past, there were problems with one or two yuan, or a few yuan. This time, it was dozens of yuan, and most of them had problems."
Tsuneshiro grimaced.
"This kind of gambling stone, every stone should be able to produce jade, but the size and quality cannot be determined. Even if it is empty, it should be extremely special." Mickey said.
"Yes, Mr. Ye is right. That's it. If there is no jade in a large number of stones, how can anyone come to gamble on stones in the future?"
Changshiro said.
There may be many novices and immature buyers among the customers who come to Antique Street, but there are definitely no idiots.
If it were an obvious trap, no one would jump into it.
The focus of gambling on stones lies in the word gambling.
But those rough stones still have guaranteed jade inside, otherwise, what qualifications do they have to be called rough stones.
"Two possibilities."
Mickey held out two fingers.
"The first one is that Shopkeeper Shi deliberately made a fool of himself. He didn't expect anyone to buy so many rough stones."
"The second one is that someone changed his original stone."
"Young Master Ye has good eyesight. There are really only two possibilities." Chang Shiro nodded.
"Which one, I don't care. I just want a reasonable explanation. I don't care about a few thousand taels of silver, but when it comes to spending money, I just want to be happy."
"If it doesn't feel good to spend money, then why should I spend money?"
Mickey said slowly.
"Young Master Ye, don't worry. Shopkeeper Shi wants to investigate. It won't take long." Chang Shilang said.
"Okay, if you have nothing to do, tell me what interesting things have happened in Suzaku County recently."
Mickey said calmly.
"As for this interesting thing, there is really one particularly interesting thing."
Changshiro rolled his eyes and said.
"What's something interesting? Tell me." Mickey raised her eyebrows.
"The Zhao family on North Street is a wealthy family, a wealthy businessman. Their old lady and birthday girl celebrated her 60th birthday this year. Not long after, the birthday girl found out that she was pregnant!"
Tsuneshiro smiled.
"Pregnant on your sixtieth birthday? That's interesting." Mickey was surprised.
This is really surprising, it’s not just a fake thing.
Logically speaking, this woman should be infertile when she reaches sixty, but the world is full of wonders, and some things are beyond ordinary people's imagination.
"Yes, it is not unprecedented for someone to be pregnant at sixty. The important thing here is that their old man passed away some years ago."
"Whose child will it be?"
Tsuneshiro said with a smile.
"Now the Zhao family has become a joke." A smile appeared on Mi Qi's face.
When she thought about the Zhao family's reaction after knowing this, she couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
"No, that old boy from the Zhao family. Every time he saw me in the past, his nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes. Now, whenever he sees me from a distance, he always takes a detour!"
Tsuneshiro laughed and said.
"Do you know the Zhao family?" Mi Qi asked.
"We know each other. We are old acquaintances. The Zhao family has business dealings with our Chang family. Their old lady celebrated her birthday, and our Chang family even sent someone there."
Changshiro said.
"How long has this been going on?"
Mickey said.
"It didn't take long, probably half a month ago... The current head of the Zhao family is named Zhao Moyi."
"Zhao Moyi is the old lady's third son. The eldest and second eldest son are both sisters. They got married early."
"Zhao Moyi is less than forty years old this year. He used to walk arrogantly, but now, hey, he is honest!"
Changshiro was very excited.
"Could it be a fake pregnancy? I've heard of several cases of fake pregnancies like that."
Mickey asked again.
"It's not false. The Zhao family secretly hired several doctors, and all they found were happy pulses... This matter is very strange. The Zhao family has investigated it, and it is impossible for a man in the family to have contact with the old lady. In other words, the old lady became pregnant out of thin air."
Changshiro said.
"It's so weird, the Zhao family is scared to death."
The corners of Mickey's lips rose.
"That is, the Zhao family invited many monks and Taoist priests to perform rituals at their home. They suspected that they were possessed by evil spirits, and they also suspected that they were ghosts... In short, there were all kinds of suspicions."
Changshiro said.
"Interesting. It seems that if I have a chance, I'll go to Zhao's house to see the excitement." Mi Qi said.
"The Zhao family's door is now closed. They always go out through the small door on the side, and they are very cautious. They are afraid of being seen. If they want to go to their home to watch the fun, I'm afraid it won't work."
Tsuneshiro shook his head.
"If I want to go, they can't stop me."
Mi Qi yawned and said, "Besides the Zhao family, are there any other interesting things?"
"There are so many. The shopkeeper of a small restaurant in the south of the city found that there were three more bloody heads in the water tank in his yard in one night!" Tsuneshiro said another thing.
"Three heads? Are they from his family?"
Mickey was interested again.
"No, the shopkeeper didn't recognize any of those three heads. They were probably homeless people begging for food. But who would kill such homeless people? After killing them, they would throw the heads into the water tank. This is There’s no way to explain it.”
Changshiro said.
"Maybe the murderers just want their bodies, not their heads. They just cut them off and throw them away. That's not sure." Mickey laughed.
"You want the body instead of the head? This is too scary." Changshiro said.
Afterwards, Tsuneshiro said several interesting things.
After listening, Mickey suddenly felt strange that there seemed to be some connection between several stories in it.
"The shopkeeper you mentioned saw the head and celebrated her birthday with the old lady of the Zhao family. Is it the same day?" Mi Qi asked.
