Xia Yuanqiu asked the old man: "Is this jade article of yours really imported from Yucheng?"
The old man nodded hurriedly: "Of course, can I lie to you about this?"
Although the old man said with a serious face, his eyes were very erratic, and he didn't even have the courage to look at Xia Yuanqiu.
Xia Yuanqiu had an idea in his mind, so he straightened up and asked: "Why do I smell a stale smell in front of your stall, and this stale smell is also mixed with the smell of soil, why is that?"
The old man's complexion changed, and he stood up together, bowed his face and started to pack the things on the stall, muttering: "If you buy it, you can buy it, if you don't buy it, you don't buy it. Served, just in time to close the stall and go home for lunch."
Seeing the guilty look of the old man, what else do you not understand?
Especially Gongsun Shuo felt that the old man was deliberately avoiding something, which must have something to do with the origin of these jade wares.
He was about to make a move, Xia Yuanqiu raised his hand to stop him, turned to the old man and said: "I advise you to tell the truth, since we came to you, it is because there is something wrong with your things, we just want to solve it This question, if you don't cooperate, we have a hundred ways to know the origin of these jade objects, but we can't guarantee what will happen to you when the time comes, but I can assure you now, if you Tell us exactly, maybe, we won't embarrass you."
The old man's hands trembled slightly when he packed his things, but he still said stubbornly: "I don't know what you're talking about. What's wrong with my jade? Could it be that I can eat people?"
Xia Yuanqiu clapped his hands and said: "You're right, your jadeware does eat people. Just now, just now, an eight-year-old child was swallowed into a ball of white light by this hairpin. I don't know what it is, but It must be related to this hairpin, since it is related to this hairpin, then it must be related to you."
The old man's bag in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, his face was terrified, he said with a trembling mouth, "What did you say? What did you just say?"
Xia Yuanqiu said word by word: "This jade hairpin, just now, devoured a child right before our eyes, and two years ago, the girl wearing this jade hairpin also suddenly disappeared strangely."
The old man's mouth trembled especially violently, and he tremblingly said: "Yuan, so it's true, so what the old woman said is true, my big fat grandson was really swallowed by this hairpin, oh my god—oh my god ——Is this retribution? If it is retribution, it will be directed at me, it has nothing to do with my grandson!"
The old man suddenly howled in the street, attracting the attention of many pedestrians.
In order to simplify things, Zhu Yan hurriedly stuffed the old man into the carriage, and everyone returned to the inn together.
On the way back to the inn, the old man had cried enough and was tired of howling. Once back at the inn, he finally began to tell the truth about these jade ornaments.
He is not a serious jade vendor as he said, he is a tomb robber, and he dug these jade ornaments from ancient tombs.
Including the daisy hosta, which he took out from the coffin of a tomb owner. Strange to say, there was no corpse in the coffin, only a piece of clothing and a few jewelry, and this daisy hosta was one of them.
As Xia Yuanqiu expected, these jade pieces really came from underground.
