Daming King of Punishment

He found a long stick at the side, poked into the hole, and got some sludge inside.

"It seems that they are made of wood." Song Wuya had already judged this from the ashes in the mud.

"Butou, I found something outside." The yamen servant came in from the outside and reported the discovery to Butou Qi.

Hearing this, he realized that Catcher Qi looked at Song Wuya, and Song Wuya walked out without saying anything.

When they came outside the courtyard, the yamen servant brought the two of them to the front.He pointed to the corner of the wall and said, "There is a smell of kerosene here, and several large barrels were also found, which should be used to hold kerosene. In addition, some wine jars and some wood were also found."

Listening to the yamen servant's words, Song Wuya first looked at the wooden barrels filled with kerosene. There is no doubt about this, after all, if you want to ignite a fire, you must have something to fuel it.

As for those wine jars, they must have been left behind by the thieves who stole the Longevity Monument.

"What kind of wine jar is this!" Bai Zhuo complained, "Could this sour smell be wine?"

Bai Zhuo had already picked up the wine jar mentioned by the yamen servant, complaining.

Hearing this, Song Wuya immediately stepped forward, took the jar from his hand, took it to his nose and sniffed it, and immediately frowned: "It smells so strong, it should be Shanxi's aged vinegar!"

This jar looks like a wine jar, but the thing inside is not wine, but vinegar.

"That's strange, what are they using this thing for?" Song Wuya was a little puzzled, these vinegar jars were obviously just opened, and they were obviously used up all at once.

He couldn't figure out what this meant, so he immediately told the yamen servant: "Immediately look for traces of vinegar around here."

Since there is no more vinegar in it, it must have been used up by these people.Obviously, they did not drink so much vinegar. Even Shanxi people who are used to eating vinegar probably don't have such a big appetite.

Sure enough, the servants soon found the traces left by the vinegar.

This place is still in that room, Song Wuya entered the room, and there was no smell of vinegar at all.After all, the smell of cigarettes left in the room was too strong, covering up the smell of vinegar.

Looking at the puddle of water left on the ground, Song Wuya squeezed a little mud and put it in front of his nose to smell it. He really smelled a vinegar smell.

"What is this?" He looked at his fingers in surprise, there were some mud-like things sticking to them, and it felt very special when pinched.

"It's green plaster, it turns white after firing, so it's also called white plaster, and it's used to make porcelain." Qi Butou on the side explained Song Wuya's doubts, obviously he knew about these things.

"For ceramics?" Song Wuya was very surprised. He had heard of this thing before, but he had never seen it before.

"That's right, there are quite a few people who make porcelain around here, and they all use it. It's not a rare thing." Qi Catcher said.

Hearing this, Song Wuya nodded: "Qi Tutou, after firing this green plaster, has it become extremely hard?"

"That's natural." Qi catcher nodded for confirmation.

This is quite clear, the missing part of the relationship is a square made of this green paste.Presumably the real thing is hidden in this green plaster.After they got this thing, they didn't dare to destroy it with external force, for fear of destroying the really important things inside.That's why they use vinegar to soften the hard white plaster so that the contents can be taken out.

This is enough to surprise, after all, who would have thought that these guys are so thoughtful, even before breaking open the Longevity Monument, they have already figured out what is hidden in it, which is covered with a layer of white paste, otherwise why would they Want to prepare aged vinegar?

"Captain, the owner has been found." At this moment, the voice of the yamen servant came from outside the door.

Song Wuya and the others immediately looked outside, only to see a middle-aged man brought into the yard by the yamen servant.

When he came to the door, he saw the situation inside the room at a glance, and the originally nervous expression on his face suddenly changed.

"These bloody bastards! They are going to burn my house down! Where are they? They have to pay for it!"

The homeowner was heartbroken when he saw his house being made into such a state.

After all, it would cost a lot of money to renovate, and the rent he collected was not enough.

The homeowner, who was crying bitterly, hadn't figured out the situation in front of him, and only cared about his house.

Song Wuya coughed: "Cough! It's too early for you to cry now, let's cry after we finish asking you!"

The owner of the house was stunned when he heard this, and looked up at Song Wuya who was speaking, and moved his eyes to catch the head Qi in surprise.

"Catch the head together, who is this son?"

"I don't know, anyway, you just answer the truth when he asks you." Qi Catcher said angrily.

He didn't know what Song Wuya's origin was, anyway, he had to follow Song Wuya's intentions here.

The owner of the house was even more surprised, immediately stopped crying, squeezed out some smiles, and bowed to Song Wuya: "Looking at how handsome you are, you must be a high official in the imperial court. You have to decide for me , This small house is a new house, who would have thought that it would turn into such a ghost after renting it out for a few days."

At the end, he did cry again.

"You have good eyesight! Since you can see this, then you can't see what the people who rented your house were thinking?" Song Wuya sneered coldly.

This guy was still very doubtful about Song Wuya's identity when he came up, only after hearing what the head catcher said, he decided that Song Wuya was a high official of the imperial court.Although he is right, but this is just general flattery, how can it be true.

"This... small eyesight, I didn't see the cunning of these bastards. I hope the adults can make up for the small loss." The owner of the house seemed to hug Song Wuya's thigh, one adult at a time, to let Song Wuya Ya makes the decision for him.

Song Wuya snorted coldly: "Don't be an adult, I can't afford it. If you want to recover the loss, it depends on whether the government can catch these people. The loss of the Longevity Monument in the city today must be You also understand, right?"

"Clear, clear, the villain has heard about it early in the morning." The owner of the house was aware of this, and nodded in agreement.

"The people who stole the Longevity Monument live in your courtyard. If the investigation is clear, maybe you have nothing to do with it, but if the investigation is not clear, I'm afraid you can't get rid of it. At that time, the government will not I made the decision for you, but let you make the decision for this matter." Song Wuya coldly threatened the owner in front of him.

Although this is not his usual method, but facing this oily guy at this moment, he still needs to give him a little bit of a show, otherwise it is inevitable that he will make jokes.

"The little one didn't dare, the little one was wronged, how can the little one have that kind of ability. Just ask the adults, and the young ones will know everything." The owner shook his head hastily, he didn't want to be charged with such a crime.

"How many people are renting your house?" Song Wuya immediately asked the first question.

"There are two people, they came directly to rent the house." The owner replied immediately.

Hearing what he said, Song Wuya asked suspiciously: "So, you originally lived here. They came directly to rent your house, and then you left here?"

"That's right, they only said they would stay for a few days, and they paid a lot of rent, so I was moved. Who would have thought that such a result would end up in the end, I am really unlucky!" The owner's face was full of pain The appearance is definitely not pretending, obviously he regrets what happened to him.

Hearing this, Song Wuya nodded, thinking that the other party had already planned everything, and the reason for finding this yard was because it was the closest to the Wanshou Monument.

"When did that happen?" Song Wuya continued to ask.

"It happened three days ago, and it didn't take long." The owner then replied.

In just three days, the other party has completed all this, and the progress is really rapid.

"Did that person tell you anything else? For example, where are they from and what are they doing here?" Song Wuya continued to understand the situation at that time.

The homeowner frowned slightly, lost in thought.After thinking about it, he said: "They only said that they came here to pick up the goods, and they rented a yard to store the goods for the time being. As for where they came from, I really don't know, and I didn't ask in detail at the time. However, they You did ask me how many days it would take to go to Yangzhou from here."

"Oh? So, they are going to Yangzhou?" Song Wuya was startled when he heard this.

If they are going to Yangzhou, then this thing should be brought by them on the way to Yangzhou at this moment.

Thinking of this, Song Wuya took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Qi Butou and said, "They probably went to Yangzhou, let's go back to the Yamen now."
