Demon detective

Chapter 30 Absolute
"It's hard to distinguish metal, wood, water, fire, and earth with an iron stick." Xu Zhen repeated, "It doesn't feel very complicated!"

Zhang Wenxin smiled and shook his head: "Cousin, don't underestimate this pair. The iron rod makes a stove, and only four words cover all the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. They both rhyme and explain, and the word 'stove' Composed of fire and earth, it is indeed an absolute!"

"Hey," Gao He Hanhan echoed, "Take an iron stick to light the stove, how can it be lit? This is called disregarding gold, wood, water, fire, and earth!"

Seeing that Xu Zhen didn't respond, Zhang Wenxin just thought that he couldn't match up, so he smiled lightly and said in Xu Zhen's ear: "Okay, cousin, I'm just joking, I promise to do your business."

"Oh? The second cousin treats me the best!" Xu Zhen was moved for a while, and then pondered, "But... gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, then it will be a combination of five characters?"

"My husband thinks so too," Gao He continued, "Such as five grains, five internal organs, five colors, and five flavors, Mr. has tried them all, but they still don't match!"

"Really?" Xu Zhen rolled his eyes, snapped his fingers immediately, and said, "I have a second line, I wonder if it can be matched?"

"Hehe..." Zhang Wenxin pursed his lips into a smile, and said, "Okay, cousin, it's all a joke, don't take it seriously."

Whether it is Zhang Wenxin or Gao He, it is naturally impossible to think that an illiterate and crude person like Xu Zhen can match the couplet, and it is such a difficult absolute.

"Then I'll use my five senses to check it!" Unexpectedly, Xu Zhen thought about it and said a second line, "I'll give you a check: 'Shield tweezers, don't distinguish eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and tongue.'"

"Oh?" Zhang Wenxin didn't expect Xu Zhen to match up, and asked after experiencing it, "Which one? Which one?"

"劓 is the one who cuts the nose," Xu Zhen explained, "咶 is the tongue, which means the tongue or licking the tongue.

"Shield tweezers, just use blunt tweezers to cut people's tongues, they don't distinguish between eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and tongue!"

"Oh! Oh..." Zhang asked heart to tremble suddenly, and then his eyes lit up, repeating and analyzing, and finally praised sincerely, "Wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful! Why didn't I think of it?"

Xu Zhenxin said it from the bottom of his heart. In fact, I didn't expect that a certain time-travel novel I read before would come in handy today.

In that novel, there happened to be such a verbatim couplet. Fortunately, my memory is good enough.

Hey?
Xu Zhen thought that although he was a police detective in his previous life, he had a good command of poetry and poetry. If he doesn't become a police officer in the future, can he make a living by copying poems?
For example, the phrase "Dark Fragrance Floating Moon Dusk" can make all the beauties rush to play poker with him?How many decks of poker do I have to prepare?

What if there is another sentence "I don't know the sky is in the water when I'm drunk"?I don't know if there is a princess in the Daxuan Dynasty?
Xu Zhen was thinking wildly, but Zhang Wenxin didn't know Xu Zhen's details. After she experienced this wonderful couplet, she looked at Xu Zhen as if she was looking at a monster.

impossible?

Zhang Wenxin couldn't figure it out, how did his illiterate cousin meet him so absolutely?
Just talking about those rare words, even many students who have read poetry and books may not recognize them?

"How about it, Second Cousin..." Xu Zhen said triumphantly, "Don't admire me too much, I will be proud! In the future, if you come across any poems, songs, or pairs, just ask me for advice!
"We are so determined, I promise to give everything, without reservation!"

"Oh... oh... ok... ok..." Zhang Wen became confused, he had never seen such a brazen cousin.

"How about it," Xu Zhen said again, "Now, what we've talked about is a deal!"

"Oh... good, good..." Zhang Wenxin nodded blankly...

……

In the end, Xu Zhen still sent the second cousin to the door of the house, and then left.

Uncle Zhang Lin works in the county government prison dozens of miles away, and only his aunt is at home, so it is naturally inconvenient for Xu Zhen to go in and visit.

My aunt is an ordinary person, so she naturally thinks that Xu Zhen, a nephew who has inherited huge debts, is the biggest burden to their family.

So after the meeting, there will always be only one topic, which is to let Xu Zhen sell the ancestral house as soon as possible, in addition to repaying the gambling debts, and then give the rest of the subsidies to their family as a reward...

After seeing off his cousin, Xu Zhen returned to the yamen to report.

Unexpectedly, neither the captor Cheng Xiao nor Shen Yu and Fu Bin, who were on the same team as him, did not come back.

I guess they are still busy with their own affairs, right?

Xu Zhenxin was at a loss again, wondering what the tiger girl Shen Yu would do under his flickering?
But...it seems that if Shen Yu really caused trouble, it would not be a bad thing...

Due to the delay in the arrival of the head arresters, the arresters disbanded on their own.

Xu Zhen bought some fresh fruits for his little daughter-in-law Youmeng with the little change he had.

He originally wanted to buy a piece of cloth for You Meng to make clothes, but it was too expensive and he couldn't afford it.It seems that we can only wait for the case in front of us to be solved before thinking about how to improve our living conditions!
After returning home, everything went on as usual, eating and chatting with the gentle and virtuous little daughter-in-law, and occasionally talking cheaply, which made the little daughter-in-law's face always flushed.

But after dinner, Xu Zhen took a hoe and went to the ancestral hall in the backyard to get busy.

The ancestral hall is located at the innermost side of the house. Because there is no money to repair it, the roof leaks rain and the windows leak wind.Normally, only on special days, Xu Zhen and his wife would come here.

To Xu Zhen's surprise, there were only two memorial tablets on the altar in the ancestral hall, one was Xu Zhen's father and the other was Xu Zhen's mother. There were no other ancestors of the Xu family, not even grandparents.

it's wired.

Xu Zhen wondered, what's going on if there is an ancestral house but no ancestors?
Is it...

Is this a illegitimate house?

Xu Zhen couldn't help thinking, did his so-called ancestor who was a high official married a mistress here, so the ancestral hall could not be enshrined?
Gee...

I searched my memory, but I couldn't find any clues. It seems that Xu Zhen's parents are relatively shy about the origin of their ancestors. They never mentioned it to Xu Zhen, and they don't even know who their grandparents are.

Well, it doesn't matter.

Xu Zhen is helpless, whether it is an illegitimate home or not, such distant things have nothing to do with him.

As the saying goes, live in the present, let's talk about living the present well!

Therefore, Xu Zhen first found a place, then pried open the floor tiles of the ancestral house, and then began to dig the soil...

After digging until late at night, a hole more than two meters deep was dug.

Unexpectedly, the little daughter-in-law had a dream that she couldn't find Xu Zhen for a long time, and she found it here by looking for the voice.

After seeing the deep pit Xu Zhen dug, Youmeng was very puzzled: "Master, what are you doing?"

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay," Xu Zhen explained with a smile, "Haven't we already decided to sell the house? I'm afraid there may be some hidden treasure in this house, so let's dig it out, hehe..."
