Daming King of Punishment

Page 649

Although they had discussed this issue before, but speaking of it now, Song Wuya still had doubts about the guqin.

He felt that even if Xu Zijun admitted his relationship with Qin Xiaoxiao, it had nothing to do with him in this case.But Xu Zijun didn't admit this, and Song Wuya paid attention to Xu Zijun's eyes, and felt that it didn't seem like Xu Zijun was lying.

The appearance of this guqin is nothing more than three possibilities.The first is that Xu Zijun deliberately concealed it.The second is that someone deliberately framed and framed.The third type is more mysterious, maybe there is a second Xu Zijun, and the Xu Zijun in front of him is just a scapegoat.

Things are getting more and more complicated, but there are fewer and fewer clues.

"Hey! This is really strange! Isn't Qin Xiaoxiao's case already settled? Why is he going to be promoted again?"

"Hmph! Don't you know this? I've said it a long time ago. These officials are all protecting each other. This Xu Zijun is the son of Xu Huiyuan, the magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture. How can he say that if he is sentenced to death, he will be sentenced to death? He imposed a death penalty, just to show us how to see it, so that we can know that the court still acts according to justice."

"Stop talking nonsense, you two! Today's promotion is not about Qin Xiaoxiao's case. I heard that someone has reported the case again, and I don't know what it is for. Maybe there is a dead person?"

The two were walking on the street and roaring while thinking, and what the passers-by said caught their attention.

The two looked at each other, and were also very surprised. I don't know if the case that happened just now has something to do with the previous case, so they followed those people to the yamen.

After arriving at the yamen, through the crowd, I could only see a lot of people kneeling on the courtroom.

"Say! What is your purpose? Why do you want to steal a clay sculpture from a small temple outside the city?" Tong Shuming was sitting in the courtroom, the gavel fell heavily, his face full of majesty.

Those people knelt on the ground with completely ignorant expressions, and none of them took the initiative to respond.

Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo had already seen Tong Shuming's methods when trying the Qin Xiaoxiao case.

At this moment, he snorted coldly, drew out the command arrow, and threw it in front of those people.

"Drag them all for me, beat them hard!"

Seeing that there is no escape from the pain of flesh and blood, these people all showed panic, and everyone looked at them as the leader.

The leader was also trembling, and looked up at Tong Shuming.

"My lord, I'll recruit!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Tong Shuming immediately waved away the yamen servant who came forward.

With so many people in the courtroom, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo didn't know what the case was afterward.I just heard from Tong Shuming that these people stole clay sculptures from small temples outside the city.

"My sister-in-law, what do these people do? What case happened?"

Bai Zhuo couldn't help being curious, before the man opened his mouth, he asked a sister-in-law in front of him.

The sister-in-law turned her head and said with frowned eyebrows: "These guys are the shadow puppet troupe in the east of the city. I heard that they stole the clay sculptures from the small temple outside the city last night. They were discovered by the villagers and escorted to the yamen directly."

After hearing what the sister-in-law said, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo noticed that all these people had their hands tied behind their backs, and they knelt on the ground without moving.

"The small temple outside the city was originally an abandoned ruined temple. When we traveled to Yangzhou in the past, we heard people say that there are treasures hidden in the mud body of the Bodhisattva within a second, so this is why we became greedy." The leader of the group told the truth truthfully.

Hearing this, Song Wuya's heart was shocked, and he suddenly thought of something.

"Brother Bai, why do I feel like I've heard about this somewhere?" He didn't remember what was going on for a while, and asked Bai Zhuo beside him.

After his question, Bai Zhuo immediately said: "It seems that we asked someone about Qin Chang before, and that person told about the ruined temple outside the city. At that time, there was also a theater troupe, which seemed to be a shadow puppet troupe, in the city. In the ruined temple outside, because it was rainy night to avoid the rain, before leaving the next day, only to find that the box suddenly became heavy, and the clay sculpture inside was discovered by Dakai.”

"Yes, that's the matter." Song Wuya nodded: "It's a coincidence that these two times were shadow puppet troupes. It seems that there is really something hidden in the clay sculpture of this ruined temple?"

"The man said at the time that this clay statue looks like a golden body, and it can't be opened no matter what you do," Bai Zhuo added.

Thinking of this, Song Wuya thought about it for a while, and always felt as if he had discovered something.He looked at Tong Shuming, and after hearing what the class leader said, he frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly, Song Wuya said to Bai Zhuo: "Brother Bai, we must take this thing off. Let's go to King Jin immediately and ask him to come forward and get this thing."

"What?" Bai Zhuo still didn't understand what Song Wuya was going to say.

Before he could ask clearly, Song Wuya had already turned around and left.

"You don't watch the trial anymore?" Bai Zhuo stopped and asked a question.

Song Wuya turned his head to look around, made a gesture, and continued walking forward.Not long after, a guard appeared beside him and asked him, "What orders does Master Song have?"

"Brother Imperial Guard, report to King Jin immediately, telling him to get the clay sculptures involved in this case no matter what. It's important, please hurry up, Brother Imperial Guard." Song Wuya said to that The guard said.

After hearing this, the imperial guard nodded immediately, and disappeared into the street without saying a word.

Bai Zhuo looked on in surprise and didn't understand why Song Wuya was so nervous.

"Brother Wu Ya, what's wrong with that clay sculpture? Do you think it really contains treasures?" Bai Zhuo asked curiously at this moment, but he still didn't understand why Song Wuya cared so much about this clay sculpture.

Chapter 7 Thirty The Third Jade Seal

?The third jade seal in Chapter 7

After explaining this matter, Song Wuya turned his head and looked at Bai Zhuo: "Brother Bai, didn't you also say that just now? The strong man said that the clay statue looks like a golden body, so it can be smashed No? Don’t you feel like you’ve seen it somewhere?”

After reminding him, Bai Zhuo frowned and pondered.Soon he suddenly realized: "The Longevity Monument!"

"That's right! The clay block found in the Longevity Monument was made of green plaster. It was also extremely hard, and it was finally opened with vinegar. I think this clay sculpture may be the same thing. , there is probably another jade seal wrapped in it!" Song Wuya nodded and said.

"I see. No wonder you are so nervous, Brother Wu Ya. If you really find this seal, then we might really discover the treasure of the Song Dynasty!" Bai Zhuo showed joy.

The case was still being tried over there, and Song Wuya was still recalling what the strong man had said.

It is definitely not a coincidence that there was a shadow puppetry troupe in both cases about this clay sculpture.Perhaps the shadow puppet troupe that appeared for the first time before is exactly this one this time.They were so persistent in wanting to obtain this clay sculpture, and it took more than a year between them. Song Wuya really couldn't figure out how they got this news.

If this news really exists, why don't the nearby villagers know about it?

Looking back, I was about to continue watching the progress of the case, but found that the people who were still watching just now dispersed.

"It seems that the trial of the case is over, and I don't know what the outcome will be." Seeing this situation, Song Wuya immediately stopped a person and asked him about the situation. "Brother, the trial of the case is over?"

"Well! Those guys said that there is a treasure in the clay sculpture, and they have already pleaded guilty. The magistrate has already put them in prison, and they have only been sentenced for a few months."

After saying this, the man left on his own.

"Brother Wu Ya, let's go to the prison to see these guys?" Bai Zhuo asked when he saw that there was something wrong with Song Wuya's expression.

"Hmm! Let's go over and have a look. Maybe some of these people know about the Song Dynasty treasure." Song Wuya felt that this troupe was not simple, so he decided to inquire about it himself.

Arriving at the prison in Yangzhou, the two easily entered it, and under the leadership of the jailer, they arrived at the cell where the shadow puppet troupe was located.

"Who is your head teacher?"

These people were directly locked in a cell, Song Wuya looked at them and asked a question.

One of them raised his head to take a look, walked to the cell, and asked in surprise: "I am the troupe master, I wonder what the two young masters are looking for?"

"We are the imperial court's imperial envoys. It was inconvenient for Mr. Caitong to go to trial the case. Now I am looking for you to ask you about the treasure." Song Wuya directly explained his identity, and at the same time, this person was suspicious , and showed him his official credentials.
