[0003] Invite City God to catch the thief
Zhao Liang's words seemed to be in a panic in the crowd.
"What, please... please ask the City God to catch the thief? I heard it right!"
"I've lived at such an old age. This is the first time I've ever heard of a robber asking the City God to catch a thief. It turns out that Zhao Liang and the City God God have any friendship?"
Everyone had great hope for Zhao Liang, but after hearing what he said, they felt that it was really incredible. The two swordsmen who had been watching couldn't help but frown and muttered quietly.
"Senior brother, have you ever seen someone ask God for divination?" The young swordsman asked the older swordsman.
"Ask God and ask for divination is a great power to perceive the past and predict the future. The head and the head may be able to perform it. If you want to say that this half-sized child can do it, I won't believe it. Let's see what tricks he is playing."
Seeing that everyone was talking, Zhao Liang was not in a hurry and called Tian Xiaoqi, a partner next to him, and asked him to come over and give some advice. Tian Xiaoqi nodded repeatedly and hurriedly separated everyone and trotted.
Zhao Liang continued, "Don't be skeptical. If you say this, you will have a way to invite the Chenghuang Gong to appear. But if you want to help, you just need to buy some magical instruments to invite God, and each person can pay a penny."
Seeing that Zhao Liang was so confident, everyone needed only one penny of money. They wanted to see the excitement, so they said in unison that they would go to the city god temple in the east of the village.
The City God Temple in the east of the village was built fifteen years ago. When Tian Dan used the Fire Cow Formation to defeat the Yan army, recovered the lost land, and saved Jimo City from the disaster. The people of Tianjia Village were grateful to Tian Dan and regarded Tian Dan as the City God, worshiping him every year, and incense continued to be popular.
Everyone hugged Zhao Liang to the City God Temple, and saw smoke curling in front of the hall gate. The statue of the City God Gong'an Pingjun Tian Dan was sitting in the middle of the hall, with a solemn face.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhao Liang straightened his clothes and came to the center of the hall to kneel down. He kowtowed respectfully and kowtowed three times, stood up and said, "Boy Zhao Liang lost money for the Tian family's mother and daughter today. Please ask the City God to show his spirit. Anping Jun must be as good as a torch, and be aware of everything. Don't let good people be wronged and be wronged, and the evil people get away with the law." After that, he kowtowed three times.
Zhao Liang stood up and turned around and said to everyone, "Please wait for a moment."
In less than half a stick of incense, Tian Xiaoqi panted and brought a basin of clear water on the altar in front of the statue.
Zhao Liang said to everyone, "I have invited Anping Jun's soul to come. The villagers put the money in the water basin. Anping Jun will naturally distinguish between loyalty, treacherous, good and evil, please!"
The onlookers lined up in a long queue and threw copper coins into the basin one by one. Zhao Liang stared at the basin in a hurry, fearing that he would miss any details.
When he arrived at Tian Er, he threw a copper coin into the basin and saw a few extremely small drops of translucent oil stains floating on the water surface. If he hadn't looked at it carefully, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
Zhao Liang was happy, it was him! But there was no sound on his face. After everyone threw the copper coins, he called Tian Xiaoqi who was guarding him and muttered a few times. Tian Xiaoqi ran to the village like flying again.
Zhao Liang cleared his throat and said to everyone, "Jun Anping had recognized the money thief just now, this thief is..." Zhao Liang deliberately elongated his voice and swept his eyes to everyone.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes full of expectations, only Tian Er looked a little nervous.
"It's Tian Er!" Zhao Liang finally revealed the answer.
Everyone felt relieved. When Tian Er heard this, his face suddenly turned purple and jumped up, "Nonsense! Zhao Liang, why do you say that I am a thief! I think you are pretending to be a ghost! Don't believe him, he is accusing a good person!"
Seeing that Tian Er was furious, Zhao Liang was not panicked and said to Tian Er, "Since it's not you, why are you anxious?"
Tian Er was stunned, "I'm anxious..., why am I anxious? Why am I anxious?", and he was even more incoherent.
"Just just now, An Pingjun told me where you hid your money. Could it be that he made a mistake?" Zhao Liang had an incredible expression.
"Impossible. When hiding money, only me and I..." Tian Er suddenly felt like he was hit by lightning. He realized that he had fallen into Zhao Liang's trap. He said that he was not only sweating, but also at a loss.
"Tian Er, what happened to you and whom you were hiding money?" Zhao Liang saw that Tian Er was indeed trapped and looked at him with a proud look.
"Zhao Liang, your mother lie to me! I didn't steal the money!" Tian Er gritted his teeth and decided to hold on to the end, never admitting it.
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. An Pingjun has already told me where the money is hidden. I'll get stolen later. It depends on how you deny it."
While he was talking, Tian Xiaoqi was holding a purse in his hand and was out of breath. He shouted to Zhao Liang from a distance, "I found it, I found it."
When Tian Xiaoqi ran to Zhao Liang, he threw his wallet to the ground, "Zhao Liang, you really got it. I went to Tian Er's house and told his wife that Tian Er was arrested for stealing money. He quickly handed over the stolen goods, which may reduce the guilt. When his wife heard this, she hurriedly took out the money and kept scolding Tian Er who was killed by a thousand-slayed sword."
Tian Er's face was as white as earth, his legs were as sieve as sieve, and he couldn't say a word.
Manager Jiang stepped forward and grabbed him, "You Tian Er, you are usually lazy, it's fine, but you're still doing this stealing thing now. Let's go and meet the official with me."
After saying that, Manager Jiang and Li Zheng tied Tian Er and sent him to the government.
Everyone surrounded Zhao Liang and asked nonstop, wondering why he had such great ability to really invite Anping Jun to appear.
Zhao Liang laughed, "How can I have that kind of ability? I just use a little trick. Xiaohong lost money in the oil tank, and it is less than an hour before the money is lost. The money thief must have no time to deal with it. The money will definitely be covered with oil. When you threw the money just now, I put a basin of clean water. When Tian Er threw the money, the oil stains floated in the water. So I concluded that he must have stolen the money. He took a look and found it was him."
Only then did everyone understand the whole story and deeply admire Zhao Liang's wit.
The two swordsmen sighed in their hearts, impressed by the wit of the boy in front of them.
Some viewers may not be able to help but complain when they see this, saying that this is not the plot in "Detective Di Renjie"? Do you dare to have some new ideas!
I think it is not the point of being new or not, the key is to use it ingeniously.
Just watch with an entertainment attitude. There is no need to be serious. What do you think? Some readers like to make mistakes and have to argue with the author so much that they are red. Don’t you just want to have fun reading? Is it necessary to have a blushing face and thick neck?
If you feel uncomfortable reading a certain book, you can't read it and read other books.
