Daoguo Yuzhi happened to be a relative of the Ding craftsman, but the Ding craftsman was not willing to be confused. If she forcibly sued, she would open the coffin and check it and the coffin had been buried. This is a taboo for modern people.

So he came up with this method to attract Wang Hua's attention, so Wang Hua would definitely interfere in the case.

But Wang Hua laughed and said, "Then Guo Jinzhe is also a relative of Ding Jianghu, or Bai Zhi."

"It's unlikely. If he was his relative, he had used his relationship to make a grievance for the case. If it were Bai Zhi's relative, he would have redeemed her for a long time, and would not have waited until now." Liu Shun was confused at first, and then denied. Because of avoiding suspicion, Liu Shun could not talk about Guo Koi in detail. Although this is why the merchant is a commoner, he has a lot of property in his hands. As Wang Hua thought, having a lot of money is also a kind of force. In Bianzhou, because of the relationship, Guo Jinzhe had close ties with many officials, so it was not difficult to turn over this case. There was no need to redeem Bai Zhi. Although he didn't know how Bai Zhi fell into a brothel. But if he had this relative and her beauty, why didn't he join him or ask him for help, and spent so many years in the brothel?

"That's strange. Since he is not a relative of Ding Jianghu or Bai Zhi's relative, how did Bai Zhi know that Guo Koi would definitely buy the house next to Ding Jianghu? He heard about this. How could she conclude that Guo Jinzhe would definitely go to Huazhou. He would definitely go to Qiufei Baiyufang and fall in love with her. It happened that before I arrived in Bianzhou, I fell in love with her for redeem her for her and brought her back to Bianzhou."

This is the primary premise. Without this premise, Yuzhi cannot arrange this matter.

"Also, the grave digging must be carried out late at night. That is, three coffins were dug out last night. It cannot be earlier, otherwise these three coffins would attract people's eyes when placed anywhere. But my boat only arrived in Zhengzhou last night. What if I stayed in Zhengzhou for one day? And the prince and I did not inform anyone of our itinerary. What is the explanation for this?"

Liu Shun couldn't answer.

"Also, Bai Zhi fell into the dust for several years. She has been in the Baiyufang, Qiufei, who is the crying woman? Liu, don't tell me that it is a ghost crying." Liu Shun smiled bitterly, and Wang Hua continued: "There are three coffins dug out from the ground, which requires several labor to complete this task. It also requires several people to carry the coffin onto the carriage. Bai Zhicai has not been in Bianzhou for a long time. Who is worthy of her trust? Or is the servant of the Guo family who bought it so quickly and deserves to make her trust? Besides, she and I have met a fight in Baiyufang in Qiufei. We should know my nature. If there is any injustice, I can't just sit still and see it, why bother to make my mystery?"

"Sir Wang, is it purely a coincidence to say that she came here?" Liu Shun became even more confused. If Bai Zhi came here purely a coincidence. Even his subordinates would probably not be very big.

.

Speaking of this, he smiled again and said, "Whether it is a coincidence or not, things will always break the truth. But now, no matter whether it is a coincidence or not, he is judging whether the three corpses are Ding Jianghu's family."

"This is the most important thing." Liu Shun patted his head and immediately asked his subordinates.

Two yamen runners immediately said that they knew that the tomb of Ding Jianghu's family was buried on a treacherous grave in the eastern suburbs of Bianzhou. And one yamen runner also knew the exact address of the burial. Governor Liu immediately ordered the yamen runner to lead his men to check where to check if Ding Jianghu's family had three coffins missing.

But Wang Hua came to Yuzhi and Li Chongjun.

Yuzhi was very tactful and saw Wang Hua and the governor whispering, so he didn't come over. Instead, he was talking to Li Chongjun about who was crying. Why did everyone else look for the source of the crying sounds, but couldn't find a figure?

Neither of them could think of the reason, but one thing was believed, it was people crying, and ghosts and gods.

.

Wang Hua said: "Miss Yuzhi, is your Dalang's courtyard big? Can it accommodate so many of us?"

Yuzhi was extremely surprised and said, "Master Wang agreed to move into our house?"

Then he said affirmatively: "Large, big, larger than the mansion you live in Huazhou." Then please ask Miss Yuzhi to lead the way."

They had breakfast on the boat when they arrived at the Bianzhou Wharf in the morning. It was almost noon and it was time to settle down.

Hearing Wang Hua's words, Liu Shun and his officials smiled bitterly again. If they had known this would have been the case!

But Huazhou and his group lived in brothels. Now they lived in a businessman's mansion. Although the businessman was not at home, there was only one thing. The pretty concubine was at home, but compared to Huazhou, it was not uncommon.

When I walked to Bianzhou City, it was different from Huazhou City and Baima County. After Kaifeng County was designated as Danyi County by the Tang Dynasty, a small and a half north of the Bian River belonged to the jurisdiction of Bianzhou City, while the Danyi County District was hundreds of miles southeast.

Wang Hua walked into the city. Bianzhou has now begun to flourish. He did not ask, but he obtained some information about Bianzhou. Now there are nearly 200,000 residents in a single city. Of course, it cannot be compared with its later peak. But it is also the fastest city.

In fact, when the Jin people went south, they caused serious harm to Bianzhou, but not a fatal one. Because the Jin people later moved their capital here, and in the Yuan Dynasty, they set up the Henan Jiangbei Provincial Department of Secretariat in Kaifeng, so Bianzhou continued to flourish. Although the Ming Dynasty did not establish a capital here in the end, Zhu Lin was stationed in Kaifeng when he was King of Zhou, so he was known as the thoroughfare of the eight provinces, with a power of two capitals. Until Li Zi became an attacker and opened the Yellow River, the city was damaged and left behind 270,000 people without running away, and he died of 340,000 sailing in his land, and Kaifeng was truly declining.

In fact, Wang Hua was not very disgusted with the peasant uprising, but what he disliked the most was Li Zicheng. If it weren't for him, the Qing people would not have invaded Shanhaiguan with the power of tens of thousands of troops. This was the biggest culprit of national crimes.

After walking around a few streets and alleys, he came to a lake. Of course, there were many lakes inside and outside the city of Bianzhou. Later, Kaifeng began to lack water resources, and there were still many lakes distributed inside and outside the city. Wang Hua didn't know what its name was later. In fact, he could not even confirm whether Bianzhou City is on the same location as Kaifeng later. But he knew that it is now called Niujia Lake.

At the end of the eastern end of the Niujia Lake, it is Xiuwenfang. However, the situation of Xiuwenfang is very special. Because of the terrain, the part heading towards the Niujia Lake becomes a triangular sharp sword shadow, and most of them live in wealthy families. The narrower the terrain, the larger the courtyard. The house is even more brilliant. This happens to take advantage of the scenery of Niujia Lake.

But from the mansion bought by Bai Zhi's husband Guo Jinzhi to the east, residents began to turn into civilians, and the houses looked more and more embarrassing.

When you walk into Guo Mansion, although it is at the end of Niujia Lake, the scenery is still very good. Looking west, you can see the shimmering waves of Niujia Lake. There is also a large lotus hidden in the south of the lake, among the green leaves in the sky. There are still a small number of lotus flowers blooming in their charming figures.

But Wang Hua and others came to the second floor and were all looking at the burned yard in the east.

The courtyard is not big, a small building has now become a ruined wall. A tall pillar to the south still stands firmly in the sky. It seems to be telling the passers-by its past light.

There is also a well and some utility rooms in the middle of the courtyard, but the fire has been burned. You can still see some traces of the smoke and fire. In addition to these, there are some flowers. Some flowers are still stubbornly alive.

Wang Hua said suspiciously: "Governor Liu. Are you sure he is a craftsman?"

Although it is incomparable to the courtyard of Guo Mansion, this courtyard has a building, a utility room, and a small garden. Xiurenfang is not a downtown city, but it is not a remote place in the city. Without this, this courtyard is also valuable.

Liu Shun replied: "I forgot to introduce the article. Ding craftsman is named Ding Zhu. Although he is a craftsman, his jade making skills are famous all over the world, and he has many apprentices. If he does not encounter this fire, the Ding family will be considered a well-off family."

Wang Hua was relieved only then.

Porcelain is the most famous handicraft in China, but the most noble handicraft with a long history in China is still jade. Ding Zhu is said to be a craftsman in modern times, but in fact, later generations say it is a jade maker. It is not surprising to get some income.

The servants quickly asked the room to pick it up. In fact, Yu Zhi was not trying to persuade him. The courtyard of Guo Mansion is indeed very large. At first there are a row of bungalows, about seven or eight, and then a wall covering, and behind it is a small building. Behind the small building is a small garden. There is another row of bungalows. Behind the bungalow is a bigger garden. There is a small building behind the garden, but it can no longer be said to be a small building. There are nearly twenty rooms upstairs and downstairs, and each room is very large. No wonder Bai Zhi said that it is very cost-effective to buy it with 1,500 wedding money.

Yuzhi happily packed the servants and his own things into the small building and bungalow in front and left them to Wang Hua and others. This was enough to arrange the manpower brought by Wang Hua. Of course, most of the more guards had to be arranged separately, but they took turns to defend Wang Hua, especially Li Chongjun and Li Guer's safety.

After settling down, Liu Shun invited Wang Hua and his party to the restaurant for lunch.

Wang Hua did not refuse either.

In fact, by this time, Liu Shun had already seen it. Among the four people in this line, Wang Hua's identity was the most beautiful, but he was the one with the most weight in speaking.

While eating, several yamen runners came over and stood at the door without daring to make a sound.

Wang Hua threw down his chopsticks and said, "Report what's going on."

A man dressed in a head-on bowed and said: The young men have inspected the graves of Ding Jianghu's house. Each grave was excavated a few days ago. But three graves lost their coffins. These three graves were dug again last night. What is the situation in other graves? We have asked Zhao Dabao to take a new autopsy."

Speaking of this, he took out something from his arms and said, "This was found from a coffin. Zhao Dabao asked Xiao to bring it over. I don't know if he could help Mr. Wang solve the case."

Wang Hua took it.

No one competed with him for this. Although he had never heard of Wang Hua's making jade utensils, Wang Hua's ability to make tools was the second best in the world. No one would dare to call him the number one.

This is a jade piece with a dragon pattern carved on it.

Wang Hua carefully looked at it, and then said, "This is an ancient jade, not made by Ding Zhu."

Everyone also looked at this piece of jade, only seeing it was a piece of jasper, with some blood on it, and the color was warm, so I couldn't tell the others. However, there were some imitation calligraphy and paintings in the Tang Dynasty. Even imitation of ancient Chinese writings and cards in the tone of ancient people. However, imitation of jade and copper and other ware were relatively rare, and there were almost no people who took the postgraduate entrance examination on it.

Wang Hua carefully identified it and said, "This is a jade artifact from the Han Dynasty.

"What's the reason?" Li Gueryi actually determined the age to the Han Dynasty and asked curiously.

"In fact, it is easy to judge. The methods and styles of jade making in each dynasty are different. Jade wares appeared a long time ago, and it may be earlier than the time of Jinchenzha and copper and iron wares." The earliest jade wares can be traced back to the "Qianqianqian Hemudu culture, and small jade wares began to become popular four or five thousand years ago. But Wang Hua did not dare to say it.

"There were three main types of jade patterns before the Five Emperors. One was to use concise lines to express the shape of the image and symbolically express the main parts of the object. The second was the pattern shape of the symbol, such as carving the sun and cloud patterns, which meant that the sun had to pass through the clouds and rose slowly. The third was the shape of the beast-faced pattern. The beast-faced pattern had a great impact on Shang and Zhou jadeware, and even bronze ware."

"Due to the Xia Dynasty, due to the progress of craftsmanship, double-line outlines appeared. By the Shang Dynasty, round carvings, reliefs and flat carvings had appeared, but the early craftsmanship was still very rough, and jade was advanced to the late stages in the Shang Dynasty. At this time, it was easy to judge jade. The first animal shape or animal face pattern was used to express small circles with double-hooked and rectangular or square techniques. The second is the jade animal wear, and its head is often deformed cloud shape or bottle shape with double-hooked and black carved."

"By the Zhou Dynasty, the country became the Jade Mansion, so the craftsman further developed. In addition to absorbing the double-line outline skills of the Shang Dynasty, the craftsmen created a side slope line and a line of Yin lines. The advantage is simplicity. The disadvantage is that it is a bit dull compared with the Shang Dynasty. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the hidden valley pattern appeared, and the hollowing technique appeared, and the utensilization technique was more full and harmonious. This was a stage in the history of jade artifacts. However, many shadows in the early works also had Shang and Zhou dynasties. It was not until the middle and late period that a new world was officially created. The patterns also featured the ups and downs of the nephew pattern, and the two dragon patterns of mating were still affected by them today."

"The craftsmanship of valley patterns, puff patterns, rolled cloud patterns, and double-body animal face patterns in the Warring States Period were improved again, and there were also patterns with the theme of myths and stories such as the Four Spirits Patterns appeared. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the inscription lines were revived again. The interest of painting was strengthened. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a saying that there was no jade in the Six Dynasties, and the main jade small objects were familiar with people and their sense of mystery was reduced. In addition, the wars and the Hexi Corridor was blocked, and the jade materials were difficult to enter the mainland. However, in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, due to the unification of the country and the national strength, jade tools flourished again, but various patterns disappeared, but various figures, animals, flowers, birds and other patterns in life, as well as some musical characters and flying figures. In fact, the jade wares were ornamental at this time." In fact, the jade wares should have been in the Ming and Qing Dynasties when they were at their peak, but Wang Hua still dared not say it.

But Li Guer and Li Chongjun felt energetic when they heard this. The unification of the country was created by their ancestors.

"Of course, this is just a rough distinction, and there are many more meticulous knowledge. Look at this jade block again. In addition to the beginning of maturity, the patterns have a painting interest. However, there is no yin line. So I not only conclude that its Han Dynasty jade wares, but also conclude that it was made during the communication between the Han Dynasty. There are also six important points. The Han Dynasty jade blocks were made very few, and the craftsmanship was not as vivid as during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. But this jade block is an exception. Its craftsmanship can be said to have reached its peak at that time, so it may have a very extraordinary origin."

After hearing this, everyone looked carefully. However, they didn't see anything in a slight way.

. Wang Hua thought about it and forgot it. Now he does not pay attention to the age of jade unearthed, so he needs to observe it based on his eyesight. It is difficult for them to have this kind of vision.

So I went straight to the topic and said: "Everyone knows the purpose of jade blocks. The ring-shaped jade ornaments in the missing jade are collectively called jade blocks. The large jade arch is used to wear small jade blocks and is placed in pairs to be buried next to the ears of the deceased. This block is a burial object, but only half of it is here. However, it should have a very interesting name, called the Anran** Dragon Dragon Block."

"San Ran**?" Li Guer also asked curiously.

"Yes, I just concluded that it was an ancient jade, and there are other reasons. There are two ways for ancient jade to be passed down to this day. The first is to pass on the world. It continues to retain its original style, and because it is smooth and round, it is the least easy to fake." He didn't say anything more. Because the history of fake jade was still started in the Song Dynasty.

So the topic changed and said, "There is another one that was unearthed. This kind of jadeware usually has a bit of earth bite, earth rust and spot marks. But there is one of the best jadeware, that is, the blood of the corpse infiltrated into the burial jadeware, forming a blood spray. This requires a great coincidence, and those who die must be a corpse with strong energy and strong qi and blood essence to have this blood."

But later people came up with a cruel method, burning the jade and inserting it into the belly of a living cat and dog, and it was easy to get this blood. It needs to be verified from other aspects, such as the unearthed jade absolutely does not have the light of counterfeits. Of course, there is also a method of making fakes. This involves a lot of cultural knowledge. Wang Hua himself also took a look at it many times. He collected a large number of quality products and finally accumulated eyesight.

But Wang Hua didn't explain it again.

He pointed to the longan's eyes of the jade block and said, "But if this blood smudge is formed under the eyes again, it is like the tears of a lover, which sheds dry, and the blood sheds in the end is called the smudge. If it is such a jade, then it is the smudge dragon bi. I have heard of this kind of jade before, but it is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes, and I don't know if the other half has formed a blood smudge in the eyes. If so, based on this, its value will be endless."

Speaking of this, he looked at everyone in a blink of an eye, thinking that everyone might be moved.

But unexpectedly, everyone's faces turned pale, and Li Guer and Shangguan Xiaode were holding handkerchiefs and wanted to vomit.
