"I was anxious at the time, so I went into the water to see the gold, but," Sun Ji seemed to be looking for the right words to describe the matter, "there was only a white skeleton where the body was dropped."
Wei Xi grew up playing in cemeteries. Sometimes when it rained in the mountains, the tombs would open, revealing corpses that had been buried at different times and had different degrees of decay. Logically speaking, the corpses that were just thrown down could not directly turn into white bones.
Is there something weird about the water? Thinking of this, Wei Xi's eyes drifted to the missing piece of the thin quilt.
How could Sun Ji not notice Wei Xi's eyes? He smiled bitterly and said, "Master Immortal is worrying too much. The problem is not Huanhe."
"I picked up a bone and looked at it. The bone didn't look like it had been soaked in water for a long time. It was a little bit heavy."
"Master Sun," Lian Gouyi asked in confusion, "You are a government official, how do you still know the weight of this bone?"
"Have you ever played Galaha?" Sun Ji asked back, "Although sheep bones, pig bones and human bones are not the same thing, their weight can still be discussed. I played with them a lot when I was a child, so I naturally know."
"It's a pity that I am a selectman. Unlike my colleagues in the Punishment Department, I can't tell them no matter how many corpses there are."
At this point, Sun Ji's expression felt a little remorseful and a little bit ashamed. Just as Wei Xi was about to say a reminder, Sun Ji came to his senses and continued: "I had an idea at that time. The corpses were obviously weird, and the sacrifice to the river was also in the name of Jinsha. I... ."
Lian Gouyi was still there scratching his head: What has this man done? His eyebrows are so angry that he is still mourning his conscience?
Wei Xi understood, but she didn't take it seriously and said directly: "You broke the bones? To see the cross section?"
Lian Gouyi, who grew up in the market, did not expect that this educated man would still do this job, and his eyes changed.
Sun Ji sighed and said, "According to the law, this is the destruction of human corpses, and at least they have to be sent to serve three years of corvee service. But at that time, I thought there was something wrong here, so I did it."
"As the immortal master said, I wanted to see if there was any connection inside the bone, so I broke the bone. But there is nothing weird about the cross-section of the bone. If there is anything unusual, it can only be He said that after breaking it, the bone felt less heavy."
"...But the bodies that were thrown into the Huanhe River are indeed gone. I found nothing in the Huanhe River and returned to the county government office."
"The next day Cheng County Cheng was in a panic, saying that someone was sabotaging the sacrifice and that a thorough investigation was needed."
"I asked him about the specific situation, but he was vague. Originally, I wanted to find out the matter and seek justice against the county magistrate, but I didn't expect him to be so arrogant! Not only did he search every house, but he also arrested many townspeople and sent them to jail. .”
"I wanted to put a stop to this, break up with him, and kick him out of the county government. Unexpectedly, the entire Tangkou Town only followed his orders, and I was imprisoned by him instead."
Sun Ji touched his right leg, "At this time, I don't know what happened to the previous county magistrate. Cheng County Cheng has been operating in Tangkou Town for many years, and finally he found me..."
Wei Xi had no extra energy to grieve for Sun Ji. She asked directly, "Why did the Hu people get involved with Cheng County Cheng?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the group of foreigners that the immortal master met had been in contact with Cheng County Cheng for at least seven or eight years. There is so much private gold in Tangkou Town, and it is also a place that produces gold sand. Cheng County Cheng controls the gold If you exchange official silver with those people with evil intentions, the final debt will be borne by the townspeople of Tangkou Town, and even if the official comes to investigate, they can't find it."
"Does the county magistrate know what the Hu people's purpose is for exchanging so much gold?" There are several forces in Tangkou Town, and Wei Xi has no idea about the Hu people.
Sun Ji now asked Wei Xi and Lian Gouyi for help. He quickly replied, "Looking at the Taoist robe this immortal master is wearing, he should be from a sect in northern Xinjiang. He should have some understanding of the conflict between the Hu people and my country of Ju."
In fact, the two people who only took supplementary lessons from Qin Feng now pretended to know each other very well. Sun Ji saw that there was no need to supplement the background knowledge, so he continued: "The control of gold is far less strict than that of official silver. There is a shortage of resources in Boluo Kingdom." Iron ore, North Korea and China have tightened iron trade in recent years due to friction."
"If that group of barbarians is working for the Boluo Kingdom, the two immortal masters must stop them! Otherwise it will be a disaster!" Sun Ji got excited and coughed again.
Lian Gouyi guessed that the light in the room was dark, otherwise if this man could see his appearance clearly, he might not know what to say. And because he thought he was no match for Wei Xi in terms of being mean-spirited, he shrunk his neck and said nothing.
"That group of barbarians said they were under the orders of Wang Zhang. Does the magistrate have any clues?" Wei Xi quickly asked, assessing the limits of Qin Feng's mischief.
"Although the Boluo Kingdom is a country, there are actually ten king's tents, large and small. If you just say the king's tent, you can't tell which king's tent it is." Sun Ji frowned, "But it's true. One thing is that this group of barbarians is definitely harboring evil intentions."
"Please ask the two immortal masters to quickly send a message to the government office in Sucheng and ask them to lead troops to detain these people!"
Wei Xi naturally agreed, and said that Cheng Xian Cheng would not be suspicious and it was not easy to take Sun Zhixian away now. The man outside the door also asked Mr. Sun to help cover up.
Sun Ji naturally had a lie waiting for the guard who was knocked unconscious by the medicine, and watched Wei Xi and the "taciturn" immortal master leave.
The amount of information was naturally quite large, but the time they had to talk together was only a quarter of an hour. Wei and Xi returned along the road.
Qin Feng in front was still making trouble, but he was thinking about Wei Xi and Lian Gouyi and didn't know what happened to them.
Although he was pretending to be something, Qin Feng never stopped talking, "What do you mean by the county government? We don't allow people to go to the embankment when they come, and they even ask people to come and monitor us. Auntie, I am a monk! I am not a sneaky prisoner in the prison!"
"Moreover, it's okay for people to come and look at us. In just a short while, my classmate disappeared, and even those two people were nowhere to be seen! If your county government doesn't hand over the person today, I can't communicate with the teacher. , don’t even think about it!”
Wherever Qin Feng was making trouble, the soldiers in the county government were on guard in the hall, and a steward and an instructor were there to persuade him.
As for why these people allowed Qin Feng to cause trouble here, that is another matter.
Qin Feng came in first, surprising the doorman. Qin Feng entered the hall with her sword in hand. The soldiers from the palace came over to capture her. When she saw that the people were almost there, she took a bow and shot an arrow. The bow and arrow broke through the air and sank into the pillar, leaving only the arrow feathers exposed.
After this move, whoever dares to offend this immortal master can only plead for apology and send someone to call the county magistrate.
Cheng County Cheng hurried back and saw Qin Feng standing in the lobby, holding a cold sword in his hand and a bow on his back. He also heard her words and hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "What did the immortal master say?" Well, aren't we worried that the two immortal masters are bored, so we sent two people over to talk to the immortal masters."
"Cheng Xiancheng," Qin Feng sneered, "I won't argue with you about this. If my fellow sect cannot be found, just wait for Wanjian Sect to argue with you!"
Cheng County Cheng, who had a ghost in his heart, could not bear this. Although the ghost was different from the ghost, the yellow gold and the white silver could not be faked.
Cheng County Cheng was about to open his mouth to persuade, when Lian Goupu came in, "Why are you here?"
Seeing a group of people in Wuyangyang, he hesitated and said: "What happened?"
