Chapter 68 Breakthrough

That afternoon, Jin Dafu brought an old man to the Finance Academy to pay a visit to Lu Jinping.

The old man looked very alert and looked around. He saw that he had something to do in his heart.

The meeting was in the front hall of the Jin family's house. Jin Dafu introduced it. Of course, in order to be cautious, he was afraid of scaring the other party, so he only said that he was his own and his brother-in-law, and did not mention Lu Jinping's title or official position.

The old man hurriedly bowed and smiled.

Lu Jinping deliberately pretended to be very sensible, looked at him with a big thorn and said, "I heard that you can help someone with a yin marriage?"

The old man smiled and nodded.

Lu Jinping said again: "I don't like to bend around the bush. Let me tell you this. A relative of mine once said that he wanted to give one of his elders a sinister marriage and find a woman's remains. If it can be found, it meets the requirements. He is willing to pay a lot of money, but he doesn't know what the price of this market is. Please ask for a question."

The old man said, "This...it depends on the freshness of the corpse. If it is just buried, it will be expensive. If it is a bone that has been downloaded for many years, it will be cheaper. In addition, it depends on age. Of course, the bones of young are expensive, and the old are cheaper."

"What is the price? I'll tell you the selling price. If it's possible, I'll order it. If it's too expensive, I really can't afford it. My friend is not a rich man. He just wants to be filial, it depends on whether his financial resources can bear it."

The old man smiled and said, "This is natural, and I won't ask for a random price. However, you are really a coincidence. I have a bone in my hand now. I am an old woman in her fifties. She has been dead for more than ten years. I originally said to dig it out to give someone a slight marriage, but after I took it, the family insisted on cutting the price, so I didn't sell it to them. But of course I will not refund the deposit they paid. If the young master wants it, I will sell it to you, and it will be kept in my hand anyway. Hehe."

Lu Jinping said: "Is there such a coincidence? That's OK, you offer a price, I'll tell my relatives."

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Ten thousand quotations, I won't sell it if it's low. Hehe."

Lu Jinping looked at him dumbfoundedly: "Ten thousand people have a pair of bones, are you crazy about poverty, are you?"

The old man sneered, "Young Master, you will not be authentic when you speak like this. You are willing to buy and sell. If you don't want to buy, I will not force you. I saw that your brother-in-law still has some friendship with me. He tried to persuade me and patted my chest, so I came forward to meet you, otherwise I would never meet you. Since the business cannot be negotiated, I will leave." Say it, stand up and go out and go out. Wait for a while, buy and sell, of course you have to bargain. You have a price, you can't say as much as you want? Right?"

The old man looked back at him, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, pretending to be pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let's do this, after all, you are the brother of Manager Jin. I have a good relationship with Manager Jin. He found me and gave him some thin face. I will tell you a real number. Nine thousand words, and no one less is fine. If you want, I will take it over. If you don't want it, just forget it. And I have to pay a deposit of 30% first. I promise that my whole body, including my hands and feet are intact. If the corpse is intact, you don't want it, then the deposit will not be refunded."

Lu Jinping said seriously: "Of course, since it's decided, of course it's a must. However, I also have something to say before, and I must be honest and have a complete skeleton. Don't make those messy things to cheat money."

"That's right, don't worry, I'll go back and get it for you, ready-made."

Then the old man bowed and left Jin Dafu's house. He came back in the afternoon, carrying a sack. After meeting in the lobby, the old man took the sack off his back and put it on the ground to open it. There was a white bone inside. Judging from the wide pelvis, it can be basically confirmed that it was a female corpse.

Lu Jinping sneered, clapped his hands, and immediately rushed in several detectives with swords. The first person was Captain Bear. He grabbed the old man and sneered, "Oh, you guy, you actually dare to dig a grave and sell bones! Are you guilty?"

The old man was so scared that he trembled and looked at Jin Dafu in horror.

Jin Dafu could not have thought that Lu Jinping would do this. He was shocked and scared and looked at Lu Jinping pitifully. After all, he found this middleman and patted him for sure that he had nothing to do, but now he fell into the hands of the yamen.

Lu Jinping smiled apologetically at Jin Dafu and looked at the old man and said, "You dig someone's graves, and according to the Tang Dynasty's laws, you will be sentenced to a higher-level service."

The old man was shocked and crawled on the ground and kept begging for mercy, saying that he had been fooled by the lard for a moment, so he asked the master to forgive him and never dared to do such a thing that was harmful to the world again.

Lu Jinping smiled faintly and said, "It is not impossible to give you a lighter sentence. The key is whether you are willing to commit crimes and make meritorious service."

When I heard that there was hope, I kowtowed and said, "I am willing to make contributions!"

"Okay, do you know that General Li's tomb in Yunshan Village was stolen?"

The old man shivered. This incident had spread throughout their industry. Because General Li forced the government to solve the case, the news was very loud among the tomb robbers during this period. The old man had been in this industry for many years. He mainly robbed the graves and robbed the burial objects, especially ancient tombs and famous tombs. At the same time, when he encountered someone who needed to marry a ghost, he would steal some bones and sell them. But this kind of thing was just by the way. The old man kowtowed and said, "Of course the old man knew about the stolen general Li's ancestral tomb. It's all spread. But he didn't know who the tomb robbers was."

The man from Lu Jinping sneered: "Okay, don't be careless. I tell you, if you make meritorious service and help me catch the tomb robbers who dug the general's grave, I can suggest that the judiciary be gentle to you, but if you are obsessed with it, then you can wait for exile for three thousand miles and be a coolie for the rest of your life, you can choose it yourself."

The old man knelt on the ground with a frown and said, "I really don't know who stole it. However, I suspect it was made by Big Head. Big Head is nickname, but I don't know what it is. Everyone in the industry calls him Big Head because his head is one bigger than others, he is born bald, and has few hairs in his head. He is very brave and touches many graves that we dare not touch. He said that he had a big scar on his head and was not afraid of anything. In recent months, he has a lot of money and probably has done a big deal. So I guess he did it."

"Where is he?"

"I don't know, but I think there is a way to find him."

"What's the solution?"

"Da Tou said that if you make a lot of money, you have to have fun in time, so after he makes money, he will definitely eat and drink. The most common thing he goes to is to find women in brothels, and to ask for the best women. He may be able to find him in a brothel in Tongzhou."

Lu Jinping asked: "Are you sure you can find him in the brothel?"

"It should be very likely to find it. I bought a few bones from him and resold them to others. I went to brothels to look for him several times, and I could find them almost all. But he was not fixed anywhere."

"Very good, since that's the case, you took us to find him. You said before, have you bought bones from him, right?"

"Yes, I bought it three times, and there were three in total, all of which were women's bones, one of which had not yet rotted. He had several under his command, and he would dig up other people's graves and keep them, and he would take action at any time. Therefore, he usually had spot stock in his hands."

"Very good, since that's the case, I can let you be a tainted witness..., no, let you testify that he sold the dead body, and dig out his other crimes through this crime. If he really digs the grave of General Li's grandmother, he can bring him to justice. If you can take us to catch him and testify in person, even if you make meritorious service, you can be lenient for your robbery of the grave."

The old man nodded with a sad face and said, "Okay, thank you, Master."

After the case made a major breakthrough, Lu Jinping couldn't stay there and immediately set off for Tongzhou. Lu Jinping's sister Lu Fengniang didn't know why her younger brother left, but seeing that he looked solemn, he must have something to do, so he didn't dare to keep him. He just said that he was idle and went to Tongzhou to see him with his brother-in-law.

Lu Jinping expressed his gratitude to his brother-in-law Jin Dafu for helping solve a major case. Although Jin Dafu was in a bad mood, he thought that he could help his brother-in-law solve the case, which would be very helpful in improving the relationship between the two families, and it could be considered a loss and gain.

Lu Jinping and his group rode their horses and rushed the old tomb robber to Tongzhou.
