The wonders of the world, two mountains on the river and floating mountains, a majestic state. The clear smoke is green, the roaring waves turn the snow; the grass is far away, and the windboat is patting. When spring comes and spring comes, the tide rises and falls, and people lean on the building in the setting sun several times. It is pitiful.
Here, the hero's white hair is regretted, and his fur coat is empty.
Huaitou, the captive Shang Qianliu, who is going to conquer the Central Plains in the first battle? I ask today's people, how can they not settle the stone? Let me tolerate it, but also visit Fuqiu. The gulls and herons sleep on the sand, the fishermen and woodcutter sing late, regardless of the slightest sorrow and danger in the world.
Outside the fence, there are boundless waves, going and going to rest...

…
Tu Xingsun was dissatisfied and said: "This reason is too far-fetched. We always fight for money only. May I ask, sir, why do we want to kill them?"
Fang Shuliu smiled and said: "So I want to see what you dug out of the ground in this village?"
Tu Xingsun's expression changed and he said: "This batch of goods has been ordered. I promise that the buyer will not let this batch of goods see the light of day."
Liu Hanyan said: "At this point, if you are still secretive, we can only take you all to jail and try them one by one."
Tu Xingsun pondered for a moment, sighed, and said: "This is the only way."
After that, he personally led the way and left with Fang Shuliu and three others.
As soon as these people left, Shopkeeper Huang immediately started the business of 'Jia Cui Hui' again. But at this time, no one was thinking about the antiques, so the business had to be ended hastily.
…
Tu Xingsun took Fang Shuliu and three others to the escort agency's warehouse at the inn, called several escorts, and asked them to open several camphor wood boxes the size of coffins.
In each box lies a pottery figurine that looks like a warrior, wearing armor and holding a crossbow, sword, ax and other bronze weapons. Each pottery figurine has a different face shape, body shape, expression, and age.
Tu Xingsun said: "The excavation site is close to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, and the rammed earth should be from the late Warring States Period. From this, we can judge that these pottery figurines should be the burial figurines of the First Emperor."
Fang Shuliu carefully looked at these pottery figurines and asked, "How did you find the burial place of the pottery figurines?"
Tu Xingsun said: "There is a head of Li in our escort agency. He saw me tinkering with antiques all day long and making a lot of money on the way. So he secretly came to me and said that his village had similar gadgets. When he was farming when he was a child, he dug it out of the ground.
There were similar pottery vessels with human heads and broken limbs. When the old people saw them, they thought they were ghosts and gods from the underworld, and they quickly buried these things in the ground again.
Based on the directions he gave me, I speculated that there should be an emperor's tomb here, so I took a few apprentices and followed him to sneak into Xiyang Village for on-the-spot investigation.
When we arrived at the place Li Biaotou mentioned, we shoveled down a few times. Based on the color and quality of the rammed earth, we judged that there were large tombs from the Warring States Period.
It was the season when sorghum was growing wildly, and sorghum was taller than a human being. Seeing that the time was right, we lurked in Li Biaotou's house, sleeping during the day and moving at night. Using the cover of the sorghum field, we dug out twelve complete pottery figurines.
.
We gave Biao Li a few gold ingots as a reward, but he felt it was too little and started arguing with us."
"During the dispute, you accidentally killed him? In order to cover up the truth, you silenced their entire family?" Su Yubao said in a threatening tone.
Tu Xingsun rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "If the case is so simple, a Chang'an County Lieutenant can solve it without the trouble of three people catching the gods!"
Fang Shuliu waved his hand to Su Yubao and said with a smile: "I would like to hear the details."
Tu Xingsun said: "In order to calm things down, in addition to giving him gold ingots, we also left him three pottery figurines. We only carried nine pottery figurines away. We don't know what happened next."
Liu Hanyan turned to Fang Shuliu and said, "When we inspected the site, we didn't see these three pottery figurines."
Fang Shuliu stroked his long beard and said: "It seems that the death of the villagers is related to these three pottery figurines."
Fang Shuliu then asked Tu Xingsun: "You just said that this batch of goods has been ordered. Who is the buyer? How does he know that you have unearthed a batch of pottery figurines?"
Tu Xingsun said: "At the last Jia Cui event, I asked shopkeeper Huang to take a bronze sword made of pottery figurines to test the water. The response was very good, and a customer bought it at a high price on the spot. Afterwards, he asked shopkeeper Huang to
He offered to cover our entire shipment. He offered a very high price and paid half of the price in advance. So, this time we shipped the goods under the guise of being escorts."
Liu Hanyan asked: "Did Shopkeeper Huang say who this buyer is?"
Tu Xingsun shook his head and said, "He doesn't know him either. I asked Shopkeeper Huang about it at that time, and he was also very surprised. It was the first time for him to see this big buyer."
Fang Shuliu asked: "Among the people who fought against each other at that time, was there anyone who disappeared innocently or left for an excuse?"
Tu Xingsun showed a trace of uneasiness on his face and muttered: "There were three brothers who died one after another. One was drunk and fell into the river and drowned. The other fell off his horse and was trampled by the horse and died.
One... went to the kiln and was jealous, and was beheaded. The brothers were also uneasy, worried that this time they dug something they shouldn't have, angered the evil spirits in the tomb, and were cursed with death."
People who fight against each other seem to have no taboos, but in fact, deep down in their hearts, they are most afraid of ghosts and gods. Their hearts are dark and they are in constant panic. Once there is a vision, they are more frightened than others. This is also the reason why they do not want to see the light or interact with others.
.
Fang Shuliu continued to ask: "When did they die? Was it before the buyer placed the order and paid the deposit, or after?"
Tu Xingsun thought about it for a moment, his eyes flashed with coldness, and he gritted his teeth and said, "They all died after making a decision."
Fang Shuliu asked: "When will you deliver the goods?"
Tu Xingsun replied: "The appointment will be tomorrow. We can just leave the goods at the inn and they will pick up the goods themselves."
Fang Shuliu stopped asking and called Liu Hanyan and Su Yubao outside the hospital, where the three of them discussed in a low voice.
In less than a stick of incense, the three of them returned to the house.
Fang Shuliu said to Tu Xingsun: "I guess you can guess 70% or 80% of the result. The buyer should be the person in charge, and they are here for these pottery figurines. They may not know who is responsible for the pot, but they are
The pot will definitely be sold at the Jiachui meeting. I guess they have already locked this pot of yours when you sold the bronze sword last time.
If our inference is correct, they will take action tonight."
Fang Shuliu whispered a few instructions in Tu Xingsun's ear, and then left with Liu Hanyan and Su Yubao.
Along the way, Su Yubao asked: "Master, who will be the buyer? As far as what we saw at the inn tonight, the barbarian horse gang is the most suspicious. There are enough people, and their behavior is quite mysterious."
Liu Hanyan said: "The most suspicious thing is often not the real murderer. But the Three Swords of Kongtong obviously do not have this strength. And the son of Prime Minister Li and Mrs. Guo Guo do not seem to have the motive to intercept the goods and kill them."
Fang Shuliu said: "Maybe the buyer hasn't arrived yet. Let's sit in the lobby of the wine shop and see who else will visit late at night."
