Chapter 178 Do they look like they are talking?

On the third day of the lunar month.

The stone drum officials beat the drums and patrolled the earth road at night to announce the second watch. In the entire Wei Pavilion, only the pavilion and the kitchen still had light. Boiled bean sprouts were boiling in the cauldron, and Huan Zhen was holding a firewood stick and stabbing at it.

Lighting the stove fire, thinking about the clues of the fish case.

No matter how greedy a person is for money, he will not hide copper coins in his belly. And to put it bluntly, where do poor people like Shu Dalang get copper coins?

Rewarded by the owner?

There are too many people in the Jia clan. How can you trace a reward of a copper coin? Furthermore, so what if there was such a reward? How can you prove that this copper coin is the copper coin of the reward? How can you prove that the Jia family who rewarded the copper coin is the murderer?

Therefore, only Tingzhang Ren and him still know about the copper coins in the deceased's belly.

However, it cannot be said that the case has not progressed at all.

According to several tenant farmers, Shu Dalang did not farm in the Jia family, but only cut firewood and cut bamboo. Except for rainy and snowy days, he went into the wild mountains every day. Whether he went up the mountain or returned to the village, he had to pass through the wild mountains and rivers. According to the evidence in the stomach of the deceased,

It can be basically concluded that the bran food is from the tenant farmers of Jia's family. Because the tenant farmers complained to the pavilion officials, only the eldest brother of the landlord Jia's family mixed bran into the tenants' food.

Copper coins... Copper coins... Was it an active defensive measure when Rat Dalang swallowed the copper coins? Or was he forced to swallow the copper coins in panic when he was being harmed, hoping that after his death he would have a chance to prove that his death was in vain and that he did not make a mistake?

Falling into the water?

The two may sound similar at first, but they are not. If it is the first reason, it means that copper coins can be a powerful clue to solving the case. If it is the latter reason, the case will be even more difficult.

The next day, Peng's Craftsman Shop in Shanyin County.

As soon as the fifth watch arrives, the would-be craftsmen in the competition get up, follow the patrol guide's instructions, eat breakfast, go to the toilet once, and return to the production area.

With a hint of genius, Wang Ge first sharpened all the tools and once again confirmed that the production steps were correct. He started sawing the wood, first sawing the wood block engraved with the word "Thunder" in half.

The two pieces of wood are each square, but their thickness is reduced by half. Set aside one piece of wood for the time being and keep this piece of wood for the outer frame.

Hold it in your hand and saw it in half again. The dimensions of the two pieces of wood become: the horizontal length is still three inches, and the vertical length and thickness are both one and a half inches (3.63 cm). Their vertical length is five baht, each

There is more than two and a half cents left (0.63 cm).

The three-inch horizontal length is useless, just cut it into vertical length.

Then saw off the excess thickness. The thickness of the five-baht coin is less than one minute, and the thickness of the "wooden money" carved on it is two minutes. It is thicker than yesterday's wooden coin with the word "wind" engraved on it.

Still not worried about the pattern, first carve out the outlines of the two wooden coins. This time, the slot style is used, that is, the outer edges of the "secondary wooden coins" are all raised (equivalent to tenons), which can be stuck in the "wooden coins".

money" in the grooves around it.

When carving a circular outline, Wang Ge is accustomed to chiseling from bottom to top. He must first carve the "wooden money" to determine the depth and width of the groove.

The Peng sisters came again, and the boy asked Wang Ge in a low voice: "You have carved a new one. Have you already carved the one from yesterday?"

Wang Ge said "hmm" and signaled to the girl that she should concentrate on carving.

The girl pulled Adi away, but the boy got angry and broke away. "I'll just take a look! If you don't show me, I'll make trouble."

Wang Ge looked at him coldly, naughty child, it turns out that you also know that you are causing trouble. She signaled for the tool to hurt someone again, but the child was not afraid to laugh back, put his hands on his hips and said, "I don't believe you dare to hurt me?"

His sister felt embarrassed and scolded her in a low voice: "You won't leave, right? If I leave, I won't come with you again."

"Hey? Sister, wait for me."

Wang Ge didn't know whether his sister was waiting for him, but the boy never appeared again after that.

Wang Ge put down the flat chisel, replaced it with a needle chisel, scraped the sawdust bit by bit, and polished the groove.

Besides, after the sister and brother ran out of the production shed, the little boy happened to see his eldest father, father, uncle, and uncle in the rest area. Only his eldest father was sitting close to the craftsman and was talking to him.

The girl restrained her steps in a sensible manner and sat meekly behind her father.

The boy nuzzled his father and complained in a low voice, saying that a craftsman's wife, who was about the same age as his sister, was threatening him with a carving knife.

Mr. Peng Sanlang smiled carelessly: "I understand."

"Father, won't you avenge me?"

"How do you want revenge?"

"Eliminate her."

Mr. Peng Sanlang looked embarrassed: "My father's words don't count."

"Then I'll find the eldest father."

"Come back! Let's talk about it then." Mr. Peng Sanlang pulled Erlang back. This child is far less sensible than his elder sister. In this competition, the Peng family can indeed select a hundred utensils they like, but before

The tenth ranking is still decided by the inspecting craftsmen.

Furthermore, it doesn’t matter to the Peng family who they choose or who they don’t choose. What’s the point of having so many wooden pendants? Why not find a reason to donate money to the government and buy a place in the boat shop? At this juncture,

, how can you allow a child to cause trouble!

Afternoon, early morning.

Cheng Shuang returned to Wei Pavilion and relayed to Huan Zhen all the news that the officials in Linshui Pavilion had inquired from the tenants and the villagers in Jiashe Village.

"Before Shu Dalang disappeared, he went into the wild mountains every day and never had any leisure time. He also went into the wild mountains on the day of his disappearance. Although he did not go with others in a group, some people, including the villagers of Jiashe Village, testified that they had indeed seen Shu Dalang.

"

"Shu Da Lang has not stolen food in recent years, nor has he had any grudges with anyone."

"Jia's family, including Jia Feng's only son, are very stingy. No tenants praise his kindness. Other owners sometimes give tenants more food rations or cold clothes, but Jia's family never rewards the tenants."

"Ahem...I also got some irrelevant news. Does the director of the pavilion still remember Jia Qin who fell into a well last year?"

Huan Zhen frowned slightly: "Remember." The case has been closed, and it is impossible to find any mistakes.

"Some tenant farmers said that Jia Qin looks a bit like Jia Wei, Jia Feng's only son."

"Tsk!" Huan Zhen raised his eyebrows and immediately thought of the silver belt hook he gave to Tie Lei on New Year's Eve. Jia Qin's mother, the Wei family, dug a deep pit next to her late husband's grave and hid a pair of silver belt hooks in it.

The woman was evil and stupid, so in order to hide herself, she pulled out grass and planted it in the pit. The roots of the grass were all broken and it soon withered and turned yellow.

As for how Uncle Yuan Yan found out and when he dug out the silver belt hook, Huan Zhen didn't know. When Uncle Yuan Yan gave him the silver belt hook, he only mentioned where it was dug out, but didn't mention the rest, so Huan Zhen didn't ask.

Regarding difficult problems, Huan Zhen likes to think and solve them by himself, and does not want to go through other people's mouth.

The first moment of application.

The wind has risen, and the loess wants to merge the sky and the earth into one color.

Wang Erlang was planting radishes. When he raised his eyes, dirt particles were blown into his eyes. Wang Peng put his hand on his forehead and shouted as he came over: "Second uncle, do you listen to the grass around you? Does it sound like it's talking?"

"What are you talking about?" Wang Erlang rubbed the mud off his nephew's face with his arm. Knowing that A Peng was timid and the noise of the wind and grass was loud, he felt that something was hiding in the grass nest.

After Wang Peng got close to his second uncle, he was no longer timid. "They said, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh."

"Huh? Haha, imitating how you pee on the bedclothes?"

"No, no." Wang Penngle leaned forward and backward, "They are imitating my eldest mother's movements of shaking her money bag."

"Hey, please keep your voice down." Wang Er lightly hit his nephew on the buttocks, "Don't let outsiders hear this, let alone your eldest mother." If you hear this, you will have to think about hiding money all day long.

"Remember."

"Well, I remember someone said before that they heard the wind blowing and swaying bamboo leaves in the wild mountains. It was all the movement of money. What happened? No one believed it yet."

"Ah? Then?"

"Then……"

Then? Wang Erlang was stunned, no! This rumor happened in the past life! Not this life!
