Listening to Wang Yongshan's explanation, Feng Tao felt it was unspeakable irony that Wang Yongshan had wasted so much effort and such a long time, but was defeated by Cheng Shi in just a few days.
Shao Dengke's hands on the side were shaking involuntarily, but he still pretended to be calm and spoke.
"So, you found a way to open the stone tablet, so you started taking action!"
Wang Yongshan still didn't believe that his plan was cracked by a young man in a few days, but he looked at Cheng Shi opposite.
He had to admit that he lost, even if he lost to Shao Dengke, but he was very unwilling to lose to a young boy like Cheng Shi.
Wang Yongshan snorted and continued.
"Yes, I did find it, but at present, I am the only one who knows how to open it. At least at this point, I still take the initiative!"
When Cheng Shi heard this, he casually said a few sentences that he spelled out on the bamboo slips. Wang Yongshan said in surprise.
"How did you know? Did you also have your eye on this stone monument a long time ago? Otherwise, how would you know!"
Cheng Shi said: "Mr. Wang, you are thinking too much. What you are looking for is information passed down by word of mouth, while mine is from ancient texts in tombs!
You'd better tell them all and let's compare them. After all, you don't want to ruin such an important thing! "
At this time, Wang Yongshan completely lost his confidence and had to tell all his information. Cheng Shi compared it in his mind.
Cheng Shi soon discovered that except for the pronunciation of some words, it was basically the same as the information he found in the bamboo slips.
After a long time, Shao Dengke said: "What are you waiting for? Open the stele now!"
Cheng Shi smiled and continued: "This stone tablet itself was unearthed from the tomb, and this thing does not belong to any of us!
The things here can only belong to everyone and belong to our country. I hope Boss Shao won’t think too much about it! "
Feng Tao nodded on the side and agreed with Cheng Shi's words, while Shao Dengke had a bitter look on his face, but he could only speak.
"Agent Cheng is right. None of us are qualified to own it. It is a blessing to be able to see what is inside!"
Cheng Shi then asked someone to prepare a small tool, then removed the trap he had set, and then began to open the stone tablet in order.
An hour later, the stone tablet was finally opened, and the scene inside appeared in front of everyone.
The scene inside disappointed everyone who gathered around, because there were only two jade walls embedded in it.
Feng Tao said doubtfully: "There are only two jade walls?!"
Shao Dengke was also very confused and said: "It shouldn't be. The owner of the tomb used such complicated stone mortise and tenon joints to place two jade walls?!"
Wang Yongshan also collapsed on the ground and murmured involuntarily: "There are only two jade walls. I spent so long just for these two jade walls!"
Cheng Shi's eyes were not on the jade wall, but on the mortise and tenon strips that everyone ignored, but he did not explain it to them.
However, he had to focus everyone's attention on the jade wall, otherwise, sooner or later, they would notice the removed stone strips.
Thinking of this, Cheng Shi said: "How can this be an ordinary jade wall? This tomb is from the Han Dynasty.
These two jade walls were from the Western Han Dynasty. Cheng Shi first took down the upper jade wall with his gloved hands.
This should not be called a jade wall, but a jade ring. This ring is carved from Hetian jade, with a pure and moist texture, flat and round.
The decorations on both sides are basically the same, with dragons and phoenixes piercing the clouds carved using a low-relief technique. The inner and outer edges of one side are decorated with a string pattern, and the interior is decorated with dragons and phoenixes piercing the clouds.
On the other side, a standing beast is carved between the dragon and the phoenix, with a side head, arms, and well-developed limbs. The dragons and phoenixes on both sides of the jade ring are intertwined with each other and pierced through the clouds. The lines are soft and smooth, and the dragons and phoenixes are dancing, lifelike.
As for why it is called a jade ring, it is because according to the size of the hole in the middle of the jade, the flaky round jade is divided into three types: jade bi, jade Yuan, and jade ring.
The ancients actually did not have any detailed regulations, but for convenience, we are accustomed to call round objects with wide sides and small holes collectively called Bi, while those with narrow sides and large holes are called rings.
This jade ring with dragon and phoenix patterns is not only of excellent jade quality and exquisite carving, but also has a novel composition. It is definitely the best jade ring of the Western Han Dynasty. "
Then Cheng Shi took off another jade wall and said, "This should be the jade pendant that the tomb owner often wore during his lifetime. This pendant has a unique shape.
The design is unique. The material is Hetian jade green and white jade, with brown marks in parts. The head and tail of the dragon are connected to form an irregular ring shape.
Moreover, there are two characters engraved on it, which should be the name of the tomb owner. These two are fine jade walls from the Western Han Dynasty. How can it be said that there are only two jade walls.
Although these things may not be so precious to us modern people, but to the people of the Western Han Dynasty.
These two things must be priceless treasures, so it is normal for the owner of the tomb to protect them in such a secretive way. "
When Shao Dengke heard this, he also reacted and kicked Wang Yongshan who was lying on the ground beside him.
"You bastard, you killed my little son and other people just because of these two jade walls!"
Wang Yongshan had already let go at this time and retorted with a smile.
"Shao Dengke, this is the cause and effect that the old lady always talks about. If you hadn't gone to rob the tomb, this wouldn't have happened. In the final analysis, it's your own fault!"
When Shao Dengke heard this, he didn't know what to say. He stared at Wang Yongshan and stopped taking action. Instead, he said to Cheng Shi.
"What this guy said is true!"
Cheng Shi said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, all these things are not cause and effect, but are caused by your greed!
It is a fact that you went to rob the tomb, and it is a fact that you were greedy, but if he was a good person, would he kill someone? ! "
When Shao Dengke heard this, he suddenly realized: "Thank you, Agent Cheng, for helping to find out the truth of the case. Otherwise, I don't know how many things will happen in my family!"
Cheng Shi continued: "This is my responsibility. However, although the theory of cause and effect is not credible, it is always right to do more good deeds!"
Shao Dengke nodded and said: "I know, if Agent Cheng needs help in the future, he can come to me!"
Cheng Shi nodded, and then ordered the patrol to bring Shao Dengke, Wang Yongshan, Li Xiangxiang and the stone tablet Yubi back to the patrol room!
Cheng Shi handed over the later work of the case to Feng Tao. After all, he didn't understand it either, and he began to study the stone strips himself.
It didn't take long for Feng Tao to find Cheng Shi. Looking at Cheng Shi who was sitting on the ground and studying the stone strips carefully, Feng Tao asked.
"Agent Cheng, what's going on with you? This case has been closed. Why are you still staring at these rocks?!"
Cheng Shi glanced at Feng Tao, shook his head and said, "Although the case is over, the secret of the stone tablet has not been completely solved yet!"
Feng Tao walked over, picked up a stone bar, studied it carefully, and finally said doubtfully.
"There's no writing on it, and it's impossible to hide anything in it. How are you sure there's a secret in it?"
