Buddhist Cultivation: Starting from Divination

Chapter 31 Soldiers Talismans and Catchers

Zhao Huai fell asleep until noon the next day.

If there is nothing to do, he will not get up early, and sleep for a while if he can. The daily business of the pawnshop is also normal, and he is not in a hurry.

Seeing that his wife was already busy in the kitchen, Zhao Huai smiled slightly.

I plan to habitually open the door of the pawnshop and flip up the "Open" sign.

But when he opened the door, he saw a bloody storage ring on the carpet at the door.

Zhao Huai walked out the door, glanced left and right at the street, there was nothing unusual about people coming and going.

"Whose ring?"

So he looked it up curiously.

It's just that what's inside surprised him a little.

There are piles of spiritual stones and bank notes, which seem to be quite a lot, as well as a large number of antique objects, and finally a seal seal and a piece of white paper.

"Aren't these bank notes the ones I gave out yesterday?"

"There are also these antique toys, which were left over from yesterday's picking."

Zhao Huai immediately knew the source of these things, didn't they all belong to that profiteer yesterday?
Almost instantly, Zhao Huai realized something.

He quickly took out the last seal and blank paper.

This is a very small seal, stained with dried blood, only the size of a thumb, made of amber jade, carved into the shape of a tiger, and engraved with small seal characters on the bottom.

"This is a Tiger Talisman?"

Zhao Huai immediately recognized what was in front of him.

It is the tiger talisman needed for marching and mobilizing the army in ancient times, also known as the soldier talisman.

He immediately opened the blank paper again to see what was written on it.

"What the shopkeeper said yesterday was very inspiring to me, so I will leave these things to the shopkeeper."

Zhao Huai just read the beginning, and already guessed in his heart who the owner of the letter is, the guard with the sword, so he continued to read.

After a while, Zhao Huai finished reading the letter and put pen to paper—the old man of Dayan was even more sure that the letter was left by that guard.

At this moment, Zhao Huai finally figured out what happened last night, as well as the origin of those treasures.

This letter was left by an old soldier of Great Yan who used to work in the capital. After the fall of Yandu, he took away a large number of treasures. In the end, he made a move and killed the opponent with his hand.

Looking back carefully at the results of the divination that day, Zhao Huai also knew why it was a "disaster" no matter whether he bought the profiteer or not.

Because he does not rely on these cultural relics to make money at all, but relies on black people to eat black people.

If it weren't for this old soldier, the profiteer would definitely send someone to deal with him. Thinking about it this way, the death of the profiteer still solved one of his troubles.

"I didn't expect him to be a member of the Great Yan Army." Zhao Huai still had a little admiration for this old soldier in his heart.

Although he failed on the battlefield, it is rare and precious to be able to maintain a bit of loyalty for the sake of the past.

Of course, maybe I was thinking too much, maybe this profiteer is abominable, if he didn't kill him, the guard might not kill him so quickly.

Zhao Huai clenched the tiger talisman in his hand, packed up the ancient bank notes in front of him, and put them back into the storage ring.

In any case, things are in the past, and people have to look forward.

"The yamen handles the case, let everyone get out of the way!"

There was a shout, and blue-robed policemen appeared on the street.

Holding an iron ruler, with a solemn face, he strode towards the door of the small pawn shop with Huai characters, and several people directly surrounded the door of the pawn shop.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Huai was quite indifferent.

Last night, I thought that the people from the yamen would arrive early this morning, but I didn't expect to be late until noon. It seems that he and Yan Jing still overestimated the efficiency of the yamen.

"Several officers, what kind of case do you come to my shop for? I am a good citizen, and I don't do illegal things."

Zhao Huai put on a puzzled look, and said quite innocently.

The leading arrester did not reply, but first looked at Zhao Huai's appearance.

This is their professionalism, first grasp a little basic information by watching people.

It's just that the person in front of him has fair skin, brows like swords, and stars in his eyes, and he looks quite handsome.

It looks like the kind of frail, being taken care of by a wealthy woman, it's hard to get in touch with a vicious criminal.

"It's like this, shopkeeper. Last night, a businessman was killed in the suburbs. I investigated this person's itinerary. He only came to your place that day, and he stayed here for the longest time. Therefore, your suspicion Big."

The head of the policeman stared at Zhao Huai while talking, trying to find a slight change in the expression on Zhao Huai's face.

"That businessman...is dead!?"

Zhao Huai's face was full of shock, as if he had just learned the news.

"Why do you suspect me, I have no reason to kill him!"

Zhao Huai's tone was very wronged.

"You still have motives. Maybe the business didn't work out, or the price wasn't right, it's all possible." Another policeman standing beside said.

Zhao Huai smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of business do you want to talk about? What kind of price do you want to talk about? I'm completely cheated."

"Briefly describe."

Zhao Huai complained directly: "That businessman is clearly a profiteer. I bargained with him that day out of good intentions, but he actually lied to me with a fake luminous pearl. My wife can testify to this."

"Fake Ye Mingzhu? Did you kill him because you were cheated?"

"Impossible, it's just a bead, it won't happen."

Zhao Huai shook his head.

The fast catcher always lured Zhao Huai in the direction of killing intentionally or unintentionally, but Zhao Huai was not affected in the slightest.

The head of the police quickly exchanged glances with the several police behind him.

They saw Zhao Huai's reaction all in their eyes, but they didn't find anything unusual.

"You can tell us about the specific situation in the yamen, it can be regarded as a report." The head of the police turned his head and said to Zhao Huai again.

"Go to the yamen?"

When Zhao Huai heard this, he was naturally unhappy.

"Can't we just say it here?"

"There are officials in the Yamen who will record the situation, and we will record everything you said." The chief arrester said.

Zhao Huai also understood that the other party asked him to go to the Yamen to give a statement.

But who would want to go to that cold prison cell, he still doesn't understand what these policemen are thinking?
Rather than recording a statement, it is better to say that he wants to use the threat of the prison to see if he can show some flaws.

"Get out of the way! Get out of your uncle's way!"

Just when Zhao Huai was about to take out the copper coins and make a fortune teller, an arrogant voice came from the side of the road.

He and the surrounding policemen all looked over.

I saw a rich man wearing brocade clothes and a jade robe, with three rings on one hand rushing here.

"Li Yanqing?"

Zhao Huai couldn't help being happy when he saw the visitor.

Walking straight towards the pawnshop, the triumphant and high-spirited Li Yanqing saw the policemen blocking the way around him, and Zhao Huai in the middle.

His expression suddenly became ugly, and he roared directly:

"Damn it, I don't even want to live anymore!"

"Dare to surround me, my savior!"
