As Wang Lin exuded his power.
All the officials, big and small, in the Mingqi shop dared not breathe.
Only Niu Qizhang’s panting, like a bellows, echoed in the room.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.
Everyone was suffocated by Wang Lin’s aura.
But for Meier.
The more domineering Wang Lin was, the more she liked him.
At the same time, the more the people around dared not even breathe, the more it proved how powerful her man was!
Having such a man who was both intelligent and skilled, handsome and domineering.
That was truly a sense of security.
For a moment, her heart blossomed.
She had already planned how to serve him tonight.
Hmm!
Let’s try the most exciting one…!
“What are you all standing there for? Transport the body back to the yamen! But be careful, don’t touch the clay figure and trigger any mechanisms.”
With Wang Lin’s command.
The air finally started flowing again.
Soon.
The body was transported out.
Ma Huai, standing in the crowd, heard the news of Dugu Wuzhuo’s death at the hands of the clay figure, and his face was filled with complexity.
But as he came in haste, he left in haste.
Just as he was about to leave.
He was stopped by someone: “Hey! Ma Boss, you’re here too! The flatbreads with mutton from your shop are truly amazing!”
However, the next second, he was ridiculed by his companion.
Because,
Ma Huai was the son of a grave robber.
Moreover, his parents, both grave robbers, were beheaded.
So.
Under the strange gazes of the crowd.
Ma Huai smiled sheepishly and slunk away like a rat.
At this time.
Wang Lin also reached the entrance of the Mingqi shop.
Su Wuming was patiently teaching Dugu Pishu: “County Magistrate Dugu, sometimes when solving cases, old methods work very well. For example, offering a reward. In this case, you can offer three to five hundred coins to reward anyone who provides information. Perhaps someone will give us some clues.”
Dugu Pishu nodded, indicating that he had learned something: “I’ll do as you say, Sir! I will immediately post notices!”
Wang Lin patted Dugu Pishu on the shoulder, expressing his approval.
Dugu Pishu smiled gratefully.
As they interacted.
The attribute on Dugu Pishu’s body appeared.
【(Gold) Pure Innocence: When your smile becomes pure, your fortune will increase slightly. Even if you jump off a cliff, you will have a lucky encounter. In times of great danger, you will always have a helping hand!】
【Target Identified: Dugu Pishu】
【Good Deeds: 50】
【Can Increase Good Deeds】
【好感度: 20】
Hmm!!
As expected of the current Imperial Scholar.
He truly has gold in his destiny!
And it’s actually invisible and intangible fortune!!
Good, good, good!
Such talented individuals emerge from the small Shiyang County!
Such an attribute must be collected!
Just as Wang Lin had this thought.
He saw a person, earthy and rustic, looking like a beggar, rushing over.
He kneeled down immediately, burying his head in his hands and weeping loudly:
“Oh, Dugu Wuzhuo, how could you just leave like that? When my old father passed away, I bought the clay figure you made. It truly protected my family from grave robbers. You’ve been kind to my family!”
After saying this.
He disregarded the yamen officers’ pleas, flipped open the white cloth covering the corpse, revealing Dugu Wuzhuo’s face.
Su Wuming narrowed his eyes.
He stepped forward and held the man’s hands: “It’s rare for you to be so grateful! What’s your surname?”
“My surname is Lu.” Lu Da didn’t suspect anything.
Su Wuming offered his condolences, then let him go.
However, not long after the group left.
Lu Da ran into Dong Haogu, the owner of the Treasure Pavilion.
The two chatted, and Su Wuming secretly listened in.
When he learned.
That Lu Da’s grave-robbing gang had perished at the hands of Dugu Yang, and only he and his younger brother escaped.
But his younger brother had gone into the city to find Dugu Yang yesterday and hadn’t returned.
So.
Dong Haogu angrily asked: “Could it be that Dugu Yang was killed by Lu Er?”
Su Wuming, who had been paying attention, heard this clearly.
He immediately turned his head.
He looked at Wang Lin with anticipation.
Just one look.
Wang Lin understood Su Wuming’s meaning.
“Okay, I’ll be right back.” After saying this, Wang Lin turned and left.
On the other hand, Yingtao was confused: “No, what were you talking about?”
“Sister, have you ever heard the saying, ‘It doesn’t take effort to talk to smart people’~ Because smart people, just one look and they understand what the other person means~” Ma Fu looked at Wang Lin’s departing figure, “Obviously, they’ve thought of something together~”
Soon.
Wang Lin came back, looking like he was carrying a chick.
He grabbed Lu Da by the ear and dragged him over.
The yamen officers immediately stepped forward, drawing their swords and surrounding Lu Da.
Wang Lin: “The alley over there, the fifth house on the right has an abandoned courtyard. There are his grave-robbing tools inside. Bring them all here.”
“Yes!”
On the way back to the yamen.
Perhaps because he was relieved to see these two helping, Dugu Pishu couldn’t help but think of the woman who looked exactly like Qinghong.
So.
He told Su Wuming and Wang Lin about it.
But this was just a small digression.
The priority now was that they had a clue.
They should interrogate the grave robber Lu Da first.
Faced with irrefutable evidence.
Lu Da initially argued, claiming that just some digging tools didn’t prove he was a grave robber.
However, this was no match for the resourceful Su Wuming.
So.
Su Wuming took out his calloused hands, with the red soil characteristic of Shiyang Mountain’s numerous ancient tombs stuck in the crevices of his fingernails, to speak.
During this, Su Wuming cleverly quoted Shiyang County Chronicles, showing off his vast knowledge.
He established the persona of Su · Walking Encyclopedia · Wuming.
It made Xu Xiancheng, the magistrate of Shiyang County, look at him differently.
However, the grave robber continued to argue, refusing to admit his guilt.
Wang Lin knew it was time for him to show off.
So he stood up, overlooking the grave robber Lu Da, and the attribute on his body.
【(Blue) Feng Shui: Seeking the dragon, dividing the gold, looking at the winding mountains, every winding is a barrier!】
【(Green) Flexible and Powerful Fingers: Extremely flexible and powerful fingers, able to break through mechanisms and directly reach the core!】
【Target Identified: Lu Da】
【Evil: 50】
【Punishment of Evil: Those who plunder other people’s tombs for wealth will not have a good end.】
This green attribute…
Hmm…
It’s very interesting.
Wang Lin quietly glanced at Meier, who was plump, graceful, and alluring.
He thought to himself that he would have fun tonight.
He snorted coldly:
“You’re still stubborn even in the face of death. Your excuse for crying for Dugu Wuzhuo is too flimsy. How did you know the clay figure protected your family from grave robbers? Did you go to your ancestral tomb, dig it up, and personally go down to see? And when you pretended to cry for Dugu Wuzhuo, you suddenly flipped open the cloth covering the corpse. You know, I’ve been observing you. I saw with my own eyes that you had a look of confirmation when you saw the deceased’s face. So, this act, you’re actually looking for someone, aren’t you?”
With Wang Lin’s questioning.
The grave robber Lu Da stammered: “You, how did you know?”
Lu Da’s words.
Were like a confession.
So.
Under the intimidation of Dugu Pishu’s torture.
He simply confessed everything.
He revealed that his gang had been killed off, leaving only him and his brother.
Lu Er was increasingly angry and went to Shiyang County to teach Dugu Wuzhuo, who bought the clay figure, a lesson. But after he arrived, he never went back.
So Lu Da went into the city to find him.
In this way.
The case seemed clear and straightforward.
Xu Xiancheng began to flatter Wang Lin and Su Wuming appropriately.
He praised them as being omnipotent and capable of anything in heaven and earth.
If you say.
At first, Wang Lin took the initiative, using his imposing aura to force everyone to be respectful, then after the interrogation of the grave robber Lu Da.
The yamen officers had become completely convinced.
Their attitude had changed again.
From awe to admiration.
After all, being able to unravel the case so quickly was not something ordinary people could do!
Afterwards.
Lu Da was dragged away and locked up in the prison.
Wang Lin received 50% of the punishment progress, gaining 3 lottery chances.
Fortunately, his luck exploded.
【Congratulations, host, you have obtained the green attribute: Flexible and Powerful Fingers】
【Congratulations, host, you have obtained a bag of air】
【Congratulations, host, you have obtained a pack of M&Ms】
Wang Lin chose to merge it with himself.
In a flash.
He felt the increase in strength.
At this time.
Dugu Yang’s wife, Chun Tiao, was summoned.
Chun Tiao wore a pink, Qi-length dress, with her black hair tied in a bun on top of her head.
She had a beauty spot on her lips, her skin was fair, and her face was beautiful.
However, once she entered the yamen, she appeared frivolous, even promiscuous, causing Dugu Pishu to act like a fool.
However.
Even Su Wuming was taken aback by Chun Tiao’s appearance.
But after a thorough questioning, he discovered that Chun Tiao was a native of Shiyang, having no connection to Qinghong of Nan Zhou.
After further inquiries.
Chun Tiao’s words indicated a casual attitude towards her husband, Dugu Yang. Not only did she not show any sadness, she even said that Dugu Yang blocked the path of others who wanted to get rich, and sooner or later he would be killed.
She had married Dugu Yang out of gratitude.
But because of her poor family background, the son of a coroner was forbidden from taking the imperial examination, and they were destined to be coroners for generations. This made her look down on Dugu Yang’s profession as a coroner.
However.
It is worth mentioning that Chun Tiao was dazzled when she saw Wang Lin. She wanted to flirt with him.
But when she saw Meier.
She felt ashamed of herself.
She regained a bit of her composure.
…
…
On Fei Jishi’s side.
A treasure appraisal meeting was being held.
Of course,
It was called treasure appraisal, but it was actually gambling.
