Chapter 1536 The Copper Coin Tree that attracts wealth, the old horse who knows the way of making animals knows the way
Jin An asked Li Dajin, the owner of Penglai Inn, to take him to the room where Li Yan lived.
Li Dajin indeed treated Li Yan well. He took great care of this young man who had lost his parents early and arranged a small room for him to live in alone.
The small room is not big, and you can see everything when you enter it. It only has a bed, a table, and a simple furnishing of a wardrobe. However, in the spice shop of Beijing, where every inch of land is precious, being able to have such a small room is already the envy of many people.
After Li Dajin calmed down after the initial resentment, he watched Li Yan clean up the place where he lived. He felt a lot for a while: "I am not afraid of the jokes of a few adults. I thought I would be a bole, but I found out
A good seedling, so I am willing to give all the good things to Li Yan. I often feel proud because I am a Bole..."
"Unexpectedly, things are unpredictable..."
"Not only am I not a bole, but I also pushed Li Yan into the pit of fire. If I had not brought him to the capital, although he would have lived a poor and miserable life in the countryside, at least his life would not be in danger..."
Li Dajin said mockingly.
The old Taoist priest patted Li Dajin on the shoulder and comforted him: "Everyone has his own destiny. You and I have the sky on our heads and are struggling among all living beings. How can we help people change their destiny against the will of heaven? Just try our best."
Li Dajin was grateful: "Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your comfort."
Jin An looked around the room and raised his hand to grab something in the air. Several green bricks in the corner exploded and an iron box flew through the air.
Bang!
The iron box fell to the ground with a heavy muffled sound.
The iron cover was shaken open, revealing the neatly stacked copper coins inside. A sling of copper coins was equivalent to one or two grains of silver.
Except for the old Taoist priest and Fatty Li, everyone else in the room was shocked by Jin An's unpredictable methods.
Only the old Taoist priest and Fatty Li knew that in addition to being a martial arts immortal, Jin An was also a master of the Shinto. In the eyes of the master of the Shinto, he could easily see the snakes, rats, and ants underground.
An object as big as a tin box cannot escape the search of Shinto masters.
"It seems that these copper coins are the stolen money that Li Yan received from helping people dump corpses." Fatty Li was going to count the stolen money here, but when his fat hand was about to touch the copper coins, he shrank back.
Fatty Li asked Jin An cautiously: "Taoist Master Jin An, if we touch these copper coins, will it become money for us to give up our lives?"
The old Taoist priest interjected: "That's not enough. This is the capital city. There are many Taoist temples and Taoist temples. There are countless Taoist masters. If copper coins stained with sinister evil spirits were circulated in the capital city, people would have discovered it long ago, and something would have happened."
Fatty Li slapped his forehead: "It's true, it's still Daoist Chen who is sober in this world."
After Fatty Li praised him like this, the old Taoist priest immediately became very happy, and he and Fatty Li started to flirt with each other.
After counting, the copper coins in the iron box were found to be a total of sixty-three copper coins, which is sixty-three taels of silver.
"It's true that you can make money quickly by making side money. An inn boy can accumulate such a huge fortune in a short period of time, which is as much as the annual income of a ninth-grade clerk." Fatty Li complained.
The old Taoist priest also echoed: "These sixty-three taels of silver may not be enough to open a larger restaurant, but after returning to the countryside to open a small restaurant, as long as you don't spend excessively and know how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, it will be enough to live a comfortable life for a few years."
.”
"It can only be said that Li Yan was not noble in his life. It can also be said that the money he got from making a fortune was all in vain."
A young man could actually accumulate such a huge fortune in a short period of time, but no one would envy Li Yan's speed of making money.
This kind of loss of yin, virtue, yang and longevity, and making side money, can't be kept in your hands for a year, and it's useless no matter how much you earn.
If you have a life to earn, you have to have a life to spend.
Jin An threw the copper coins on the ground like dung, and then asked the old dog to smell the smell on Li Yan's mattress first, and then on the copper coins to help him find out which coins had the same smell.
Jin An explained: "Having been in contact with the three people who dumped the body, there will be some smell of the other party on your body, and these copper coins have passed through the hands of the three people who dumped the body. As long as you find the overlapping smells, you can find the three people who dumped the body."
people."
Fatty Li shouted in surprise: "I understand, Taoist Master Jin An wants to use the sensitivity of the dog's nose to sniff out the hiding place of the three people who dumped the corpse."
Who knows.
Jin An shook his head.
"no."
"That's too slow, and it's easy to alert the enemy. It's too time-consuming. I plan to directly use the 'exploring the bag to retrieve the object' Taoist technique to arrest the person."
Jin An's answer made the eyes of the old Taoist priest present, Fatty Li, Deputy Commander Sun and other brothers from the Criminal Investigation Department shine.
The brothers from the Criminal Investigation Department will never forget how Jin An relied on Taoist skills to retrieve objects from Tianzhu people and Rakshasa people, and he tyrannically rescued people and returned their kidnapped colleagues.
When I heard that Jin An was going to perform another miracle, I immediately became excited and looked forward to it.
Fatty Li was even more excited and laughed: "Sure enough, following the Taoist Master Jin'an in handling cases is exciting and eye-opening every time."
Li Dajin was the only one in the room who was confused, but he could tell one thing. Fatty Li looked very strange. No one likes to be evil.
While he was talking, the old dog had already pulled out the three copper coins with the strongest smell from a pile of copper coins and brought them to Jin An's feet.
He held his head high and his chest high, with a proud expression on his face asking for credit.
Jin An stomped the ground with the sole of his foot, and all three copper coins were sent flying to a high place. He shouted three times: "Long, long, long."
The three copper coins fell to the ground at the same time. They happened to fall on the facade and were firmly embedded in the gaps between the blue bricks. The next moment, the three copper coins were seen sprouting and growing.
From sprouting to seedlings to a tree as thick as a human arm and then growing into a strong copper coin tree, it only takes three blinks of an eye.
The branches of the copper coins are lush and leafy, and the thick crowns are covered with strings of copper coins. The yellow light of those copper coins flashes in front of the eyes, making people dazzled and fascinated.
Ding Ling Dang Cang——
The tree full of copper coin strings collided with each other and made crisp and sweet sounds. These sweet sounds seemed to arouse some kind of desire in people's hearts.
"What a money-making tree!" Li Dajin exclaimed in shock, bringing the confused eyes back to reality.
Looking at the copper money tree covered with strings of copper coins, for a moment, Jin An felt as if he had returned to Chang County in a dream and saw the green money willow tree in Chang County that has been a scourge for thousands of years.
Jin An's gaze was firm, and he pushed away other distracting thoughts in his mind. His eyes began to wander back and forth among the trees full of copper coin strings, searching for them. Then he picked off three human-shaped copper coin strings one by one and threw them to the ground.
As soon as the three human-shaped copper coin strings hit the ground, the bronze texture on the surface faded away, turning into three human-shaped corpses with bloody flesh, and a foul smell hit their nostrils.
At the same time, the three copper money trees in the house fell apart quickly like rotten wood, decaying and disintegrating in the blink of an eye. The copper coins were still copper coins, nothing had changed. The three copper coins embedded in the gaps between the blue bricks were still the same.
Standing intact in place.
Although it was not the first time that Jin An had used the Taoist technique of detecting objects, the effect was different every time depending on the medium used to perform the technique. Fatty Li and Deputy Commander Sun were still so shocked that they held their breath.
, I was speechless the whole time.
Fatty Li and the others were all like this, and Li Dajin, the owner of Penglai Inn, behaved even worse, with his mouth wide open and the expression on his face filled with shock.
When I recovered from the shock, I took a deep breath, vomit!
All the people in the room retched and ran out of the house. They rushed out of the door one after another, and were suffocated by the stench of corpses.
??????55.??????
Only Jin An didn't run away and squatted down to examine the body carefully.
The other people from the Criminal Investigation Department who stayed outside the house watched everyone rushing out. They asked curiously what was going on and what happened. They wanted to get closer to see the situation. As a result, before anyone could get close to the door, they were beaten by someone who smelled worse than rotten eggs in the summer.
The stench was blown away.
"Where did the sudden body odor come from in Li Yan's room?" These people were puzzled as they covered their noses and fled.
Not long after, the old Taoist priest, Fatty Li and others walked into Li Yan's house again. At this time, these people filled up their noses and ears with yellow talisman paper in a funny way.
And his cheeks were bulging. It was probably because the old Taoist priest took out his homemade detoxification pills from his Tai Chi Bagua bag and distributed them to everyone, which can detoxify the stinking corpse and poison.
Jin An, who was frowning and doing the autopsy seriously, was also amused by the funny looks of these people: "You can just plug your noses because of the corpse odor. Your ears can't smell the smell. How can you still smell the corpse smell with your ears?"
Because he had the detoxification pill in his mouth, Fatty Li spoke vaguely: "Master Chen said that corpse stench is not only a smell, but also a highly poisonous miasma that blocks all the seven orifices. Be careful that the detoxification pill fails and a whole room of people is eaten in one pot."
Jin An glared at the old Taoist priest and heard that the old Taoist priest was deliberately teasing people.
He had already experienced how powerful the old Taoist priest's self-made detoxification pills were when he first entered the world. It can detoxify corpses that have been stinking for hundreds of years, let alone a few recently dead rotting corpses.
Even the old dog's nostrils and ears were stuffed with yellow talisman paper in a funny way, and he followed the group cautiously into the house.
When the old Taoist priest and the others came close to him and squatted down to examine the body like him, they smelled a strong smell of Sanyang wine. At first glance, the yellow talisman paper stuffed in their noses and ears had been soaked in Sanyang wine.
.
"Huh?"
"ah?"
"this?"
"how so!"
When several people saw the three highly decomposed corpses on the ground, they all gasped, with shock and horror on their faces.
Judging from the body shape and age of the three people on the ground, they all matched Li Yan's confession. They were the three people they were looking for.
The three people died in a very evil way.
The corpse was fresh and still a little warm to the touch. It looked like it had just died. However, it was completely black and smelled bad. This is typical of a person's blood coagulation that causes the skin to turn black a few days after death.
Corruption has occurred.
The grotesque appearance of the corpses didn't stop there. All three of them had bellies as big as a vat and thick necks. Before they died, the three of them had been digging at their mouths with both hands.
"There seems to be something in their mouths?" The old Taoist priest was brave enough to reach out and fiddle with the deceased's mouth, and actually took out a copper coin from the deceased's mouth.
"Huh?" the old Taoist priest exclaimed. He ignored the stench and inspected the corpses one by one. Unexpectedly, he took out copper coins from the mouths of the corpses.
"They had money in their mouths and their expressions were painful before they died. Could it be that they died from asphyxiation after swallowing money?" Fatty Li was surprised.
"You can tell just by cutting open their stomachs." Jin An was very neat. As soon as he finished speaking, the sword flashed and he opened the stomachs of the three people as big as a vat on the spot.
Dang Dang Dang——
It was the sound of copper coins rolling to the ground.
But they saw that the stomachs of the three of them were filled with copper coins, and their flesh and blood torsos were filled with copper coins stained with blood, which overflowed to their throats, and all their internal organs were missing.
The old Taoist priest frowned: "Thanks to us arriving in time, my little brother took action in time to save Li Yan, otherwise Li Yan would have followed in their footsteps and suffered the backlash of human desire..."
"wrong!"
"Their bodies are still warm. They must have died suddenly not long ago. It was Li Yan's incident. The other party knew that we would track down these three people sooner or later, so they killed them first and silenced them. We were one step too late!"
Fatty Li punched the ground and cursed unwillingly: "Taoist Master Jin'an expected that the other party might kill people and silence them, so he used Taoist magic to rob people, but we are still one step too late!"
"What is the identity of the other party? He is so rampant in the capital and has been dormant for so long, but we have never noticed it!"
Jin An suddenly stood up, then grabbed Li Dajin and walked out of the house resolutely: "Tell me, where is the carriage that Li Yan used to transport Nanyang spices?"
He is competing with the opponent for time.
If he caught a big fish this time, how could he let the big fish escape so easily?
Li Dajin was so nervous that he hesitated: "Master Commander... are you looking for horses to pull the cart?"
Seeing Jin An nodding with a bad expression, Li Dajin said bravely: "To be honest, to be honest, the horse just died yesterday..."
Um?
Jin An's eyes were a little colder, with a hint of murderous intent.
Li Dajin was nervous and hurriedly explained: "The horse has been suffering from some strange illness recently. He has not been eating or drinking. He has not had any water for several days in a row. He was so hungry that he was as thin as firewood. He just died suddenly yesterday."
"Everything is true, little man. If you don't believe me, Commander, you can ask the Yamen. It's difficult to handle such a big horse carcass. I want to sell it as horse meat to a butcher. I'm afraid something will go wrong. If I want to transport it out of the city and find a place to bury it, I need a Yamen."
The horse corpse is still lying in the stable, and it has not yet been transported out of the city for burial. The commanding officer has a burning gaze, and he will know whether the villain's words are true or false if he performs an autopsy on the horse corpse."
Li Dajin did not lie. The horse that starved to death was found in the stables of Jin'an Morning Inn.
The cause of death of this horse was not complicated. It was due to poisoning. It had a black tongue, ulcerated gums, and a foul odor. If the possibility of man-made poisoning was ruled out, it should have been caused by accidentally eating poisonous Yin Qi weeds at the place where the body was dumped, and it eventually died of the poison.
Because Li Yan mentioned a detail, he used to deliver the goods to the location and drive away alone. However, the coffin delivered the last time was too heavy, so he was called to help carry the coffin. During this period, the horse was tied in place and accidentally ate it.
Poisonous weeds can be very dangerous.
The area near the place where the corpse was dumped must be a cold and remote place, and poisonous weeds prefer this kind of growth environment.
"You're lucky this time. Fortunately, you didn't try to sell it to a butcher for a cheap price. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to compensate you if I demolished your Peng Lai Inn."
After Jin An inspected the horse carcass, he first said to Li Dajin, and then to Fatty Li: "Fatty Li went to the kitchen to get the butcher's knife. I want the cook to untie the horse and bring Li Yan with me."
Ah this?
Everyone present was shocked and shocked. The chef was thinking, was he going to have Li Yan... operated on?
Fatty Li didn't ask much why. Feng Feng Huohuo left and quickly came back with a butcher's knife in his hand.
Jin An is not that kind of inhuman murderous maniac, and of course he is not asking the cook to kill the great living person Li Yan.
With his superb sword-making skills, he perfectly peeled off a piece of horsehide, and then chased away the irrelevant people. Then, he put the horsehide still attached to Li Yan's body.
The first animal transformation technique!
A big living person, in front of everyone, turned into a colt with its legs on the ground. The spirit and form were integrated, and no flaws could be seen.
"Little brother, what are you doing?" Even the old Taoist priest couldn't figure out Jin An's intention at this time.
Jin An snorted: "Whether it's a living person or a dead horse, I have dozens of ways to uncover these ghosts and snake gods who like to hide their heads and show their tails!"
Snap.
Jin An patted the pony that Li Yan had transformed into and ordered: "The old horse can still know the way. Even if you become a fool with no intelligence, your instinct is still there. Take us to find the place where the body was dumped. Find the place where the body was dumped."
Come out of the murderer and atone for your sins, and you will suffer less when you go to the Hall of Hell in the future."
