Dachao Feng took the bracelet from the warehouse and said excitedly: "Master, I have carefully inspected it. This bracelet is definitely the best mutton-fat jade, and there is no flaw at all. This kind of jade-quality mutton-fat jade
Jade is very rare nowadays, and it is rare to find it. The price of a thousand gold is already considered small. I estimate that it can be sold for 1,500 to 2,000 taels. If it is hidden for a while, the price will be even higher.
high."
The shopkeeper didn't listen to him at all. He only took the bracelet and looked at it over and over. As time went by, Da Chaofeng gradually became unsure. Could it be that he had made a mistake? This was not mutton-fat jade at all? If so, wouldn't he be miserable?
?
Da Chaofeng began to sweat on his forehead. He held it in for a while and finally couldn't help but said: "My boss, is there something wrong with these bracelets?"
The shopkeeper did not answer him, but instead kept asking about the situation during the daytime pawn, and then said with a serious face: "Go and ask someone to prepare a carriage for me immediately."
"Master, it's getting dark, where are you going?" The more Da Chaofeng listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.
"Go to the county government office!" After throwing down these three words, the shopkeeper took the bracelet and went out, leaving Da Chaofeng there in fear. He couldn't figure out why his boss had to rush to the county government office overnight. Could it be that... then
Is the bracelet stolen?
Not to mention Da Chaofeng's random speculations, Henglong's shopkeeper arrived at the gate of the county government office, knocked on the door and said that he had something urgent and wanted to see Magistrate Wang.
After receiving the notice from the Yamen servant, Magistrate Wang, who had already rested, quickly ordered someone to take him to the flower hall and told him that he would be there immediately.
Seeing Magistrate Wang put on his clothes and stand up, his beloved concubine was not happy. She hugged Magistrate Wang from behind and said coquettishly: "Master, don't leave. The owner of the pawn shop will ask him to come back tomorrow."
Magistrate Wang usually dotes on this concubine and is never willing to say a harsh word, but at this moment he glared and said: "What do you know about this woman? Don't talk too much if you want to be alone."
After saying that, he ignored the concubine who was pouting and looking unhappy. After getting dressed, he went to the flower hall. As soon as he entered, the shopkeeper who was waiting inside came up to him and was ready to speak.
Magistrate Wang made a silent gesture, closed the doors and windows one by one, and then said: "How about it, but do you have any clues about what I'm going to tell you?"
"Yes." The shopkeeper bowed and took out the pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets from his arms, "Sir, please see, these bracelets were brought in by the emperor in the villain's shop. I have seen this pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets.
It is extremely high-quality, and jade of this quality is usually supplied to the royal family, and rarely reaches the public, not to mention such a pair of bracelets, which cost a lot of materials."
On that day, He Jin told Magistrate Wang that the female fugitive fan was involved with the palace and asked him to pay attention to the pawnshops and jewelry stores in Wangjiang County. He Jin called all the shopkeepers of each store over in case someone was stealing.
The palace objects, the reason why Beijing sent him on a secret mission, drew their attention to the fact that someone had recently pawned and sold some valuable items that might have come from the palace.
Because of this, when the shopkeeper saw the pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets, he thought they might be related to the palace and came to see Magistrate Wang immediately.
"You said the person who came to buy this pair of jade bracelets is a woman?" Magistrate Wang asked while looking at the bracelets. Although the bracelets did not have Ouchi's mark, as the shopkeeper said, such high-quality jade is of the highest quality.
It is impossible for the people to use it as tribute.
"Yes, she is a woman. I heard she is very good-looking." The shopkeeper told Magistrate Wang one by one about the situation he asked about. Magistrate Wang learned that two people in Henglong Pawnshop had seen the woman, and immediately ordered someone to report it, and then
Take out the portrait and ask them if it is the woman in the painting.
After they looked at it, they all nodded in agreement and said it was the woman in the painting. Magistrate Wang was overjoyed. In the past few days, He Jin had been sending letters to him asking about the status of the investigation. He Jin said that Mr. Yingge was waiting very anxiously in Beijing and urged him to confirm.
The female fugitive must be found as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, I was still at a loss for this matter during the day, but suddenly there was news at night. It was really hard to find anything, and it took no effort to get it.
Although we don't know where the woman lives for the time being, someone should have seen her along the way that day when she came to pawn something off. As long as you inquire carefully, you can always find out the news.
Early the next morning, the county magistrate ordered the county government officials to inquire about the woman's whereabouts. Finally, in the evening, he found out that the woman's residence was in Jian Min Chang Lane.
Magistrate Wang ordered people to keep an eye on the woman secretly, and he sent a letter to He Jin urgently to tell him about the incident. Soon, He Jin's letter arrived, asking Magistrate Wang's people to keep an eye on the woman and not to alert others. The rest was
He will take care of it.
In the night, a large piece of paper is slowly being woven...
Shi's mother, who was leaning against the door and looking forward to seeing Shi Sheng come back, was so happy that she burst into tears. Then she felt sorry for her son's injuries and angrily scolded those people in the Marquis for being cruel. Fortunately, Shi Sheng had a good foundation and did not suffer any internal injuries. Otherwise, he would not have been able to raise a son.
It will recover within a day.
The next day, Uncle Zheng brought some eggs over, saying they were to replenish Shi Sheng's health. When he learned that Shi Sheng was still resting in the back room, he rubbed his hands and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to discuss something with you."
After Shi Mu put the eggs away, she poured a cup of herbal tea and said, "Our two families are so familiar, so if you have anything to say, just say it."
"It's about Xuan'er." Uncle Zheng lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, let me tell you straight, would you like our two families to become in-laws?"
Shi's mother was surprised when she heard this, and then said happily: "You mean to let Xuan'er marry my Shi Sheng?"
Uncle Zheng nodded and said: "I'm not afraid of old sister-in-law's jokes. This girl Xuan'er has always liked Shi Sheng. This time something happened to Shi Sheng, she was so anxious that she couldn't eat or sleep. I thought she was already seventeen, and it would be too late if she kept it up.
I am an old girl, so I am ashamed to ask my old sister-in-law. If you are not happy, just pretend that I never said it."
"I'm happy! I'm happy. There's no reason not to be happy." Mother Shi nodded quickly and said, "I watched this girl Xuan'er grow up. She is very smart. I don't know how much I look forward to her being my daughter-in-law.
My family is too poor and I was afraid of wronging this girl, so I never dared to speak."
"We all come from the same background, so there is nothing wrong with us. Besides, this kid Shi Sheng is hardworking and capable, and he has a good heart. Xuan'er's mother and I can rest assured by handing Xuan'er to him, not to mention the help of my old sister-in-law.
Watch." Uncle Zheng chuckled.
"It's natural. If he dares to bully Xuan'er, I will be the first to not spare him." The more Shi's mother thought about it, the happier she became. Shi Sheng's marriage had always been a thorn in her heart, although they had never expected that they would be able to do so.
If you want to marry a woman from a good family, but don't want to marry a woman who doesn't know your background, Xuan'er is undoubtedly the best choice.
Once the thorn was pulled out, Shi Mu felt much relieved. "His uncle, this matter has been settled. I will tell him when the stone grows. Then we will get together and choose a good one."
