"You guys watch and ask about this case. I'll take a nap first."
In a certain county office in Fengzhou City, the county magistrate yawned, waved his hand to the policeman below, then leaned on his chair and closed his eyes.
After all, I am getting older and my body is failing. Yesterday I fought hard until dawn with Xin Na's concubine, but now I can't stand it anymore.
"Yes, sir!" The catcher cupped his hands and bowed.
"Tell yourself, how many times has this happened?" He walked down and patted the man's face. The big man sighed and said, "I can't count."
"You have hands and feet. If you can't do anything good, why do you have to steal?" The policeman looked at him and said: "I came out this time and found some serious work. Don't let me work in the county government again."
I saw you in prison."
"Oh, life is hard." The big man sighed and said in a melancholy tone: "It's impossible to work hard. You are not born with this material. If you don't steal or rob, you will starve to death..."
The policeman slapped him on the head, waved his hand, and said, "Take him down!"
"See if there's anything missing."
Another detective pulled a money bag from the man and threw it to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man opened the purse and looked at it. His face was uncertain, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "There is nothing missing."
The jade pendant that he originally planned to trade on the black market could not be revealed at all.
Although this would directly cost him nearly ten thousand taels of silver, hiding royal belongings secretly was a serious crime and he must not let the government know about it.
It's best that the man has thrown away the jade pendant. Although he feels sorry for the silver, he doesn't feel so bad when he thinks that he got it from an ignorant guy with one thousand taels of silver.
It's a pity, it's a pity. I originally planned to pay him more money if he comes to redeem in the future. However, most of the people who come to the pawn shop to pawn things are equivalent to selling them. The number of redemptions may be very small. If you are lucky, just
This one business can make a net profit of ten thousand taels of silver...
Although I feel distressed, taking a step back, compared with my life, these are not that important.
The big man was being escorted by two policemen. When he was about to walk out of the door, he seemed to remember something and stopped and said: "By the way, there is also a jade pendant. It's not worth much anyway. You should come too."
Take it back and save yourself from telling me if I concealed it or not."
The big man arched his waist and said, "It's right here. Brother, please help me get it."
When the middle-aged man heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately said: "Nonsense, I just lost my wallet. There is no jade pendant. You stole it from someone else. You must have remembered it wrong!"
The big man was stunned for a moment, looked at the middle-aged man, and said: "Are you confused? You forgot about the jade pendant even after you lost it, or..., you really want to put it off later, which will cause me to suffer more."
board!"
The middle-aged man forced his expression to calm down and said: "That's nonsense. Why would I want to harm you? Don't I know if I have lost my jade pendant?"
The big man turned to look at the policeman and said, "Brother, this guy may have really forgotten. The jade pendant is on my waist. Please help me take it out. He should have remembered it when he saw it."
The detective looked at the two of them and felt a little surprised when he took out something from the bulge on his waist.
Click!
There was a sound of breaking porcelain and tables and chairs overturning from behind. The county magistrate didn't even bother to dust himself off. He got up from the ground and ran quickly towards the door. He looked at the big man and pointed.
Jade pendant, asked with a shocked look: "Here, where did you get this jade pendant!"
The big man was stunned for a moment and looked at the middle-aged man in astonishment.
At this time, the middle-aged man's money bag had fallen to the ground, and his face turned pale.
Plop!
His legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, wailing: "Sir, spare my life!"
"It's better to actually recruit them!" the county magistrate said sternly.
Not long after, the county magistrate hurriedly walked out of the county government office, got on the sedan chair, and urged: "Go to Prince Feng's Mansion!"
…
…
Prince Feng's Mansion is a very special existence in Fengzhou. The nominal highest official in Fengzhou is the Fengzhou Governor, but in fact it is Prince Feng's Mansion that manages Fengzhou.
This is a special case in Qi State. Although many princes have fiefdoms, almost all of them are remote. They only enjoy tenant rents, live a prosperous life, and have no real power.
However, the third prince Zhao Yi was not included in this list.
The fiefdom is as large as a state, and he can personally manage government affairs and have the power to make certain important decisions. He is the only one among the more than ten princes in Qi State.
The third prince Zhao Yi came to the fiefdom when he was young. It took him more than ten years to transform what was originally a medium-sized state capital into one of the most prosperous places in the entire Qi Kingdom. Not only did he have a very high reputation in the hearts of the people of Fengzhou,
status, it also has great influence in several other neighboring states.
At this time, in Prince Feng's Mansion, the prestigious Third Prince had just put down a letter.
Below, Yang Yanzhou frowned and asked: "Your Highness, why did the eldest prince come to Fengzhou so suddenly?"
Zhao Yi looked out the window and said: "The imperial censor is accompanying us. He said that he is inspecting the various states on behalf of his father. In a few days, he will arrive in Fengzhou."
Yang Yanzhou thought for a while and said: "The eldest prince will not leave the capital easily. The people who come for this trip are not evil. Your Highness must make preparations in advance."
"My royal brother..." Zhao Yi sighed, with a helpless tone, and said, "Is there no news from Chongzhou yet?"
Yang Yanzhou nodded and said: "Not yet, but judging from the news from Jing Guo, it seems that they have not found him either. There are rumors that something unexpected happened to him."
Zhao Yi shook his head and said: "No, if such a person died because of this, God would be blind. I believe that there will be a day when we can see each other again."
Yang Yanzhou didn't speak. When he thought of that name, certain pictures came to his mind, and the expression on his face was a little confused.
After a long time, Mr. Li is still as charming as before.
The two of them talked a few more words about this, and a servant came to report outside the door, "The magistrate of Fengcheng County wants to see you."
"I have met His Highness!"
The hurried Fengcheng County Magistrate walked in and bowed to Zhao Yi first.
"No need to be polite, Magistrate Wu, please sit down." Zhao Yi raised his hand and said, "I wonder what's the reason for Magistrate Wu's sudden visit?"
Magistrate Wu respectfully presented a jade pendant with both hands and said: "Your Highness, this jade pendant was obtained by chance from a few thieves today."
Yang Yanzhou had a look of surprise on his face, looked at Zhao Yi, and said, "Your Highness, this is not the one your Majesty gave you..."
"It's Hui Long Pei."
Zhao Yi took the jade pendant from Magistrate Wu, with a smile on his face and slowly picked up his chopsticks.
"he came."
…
…
"Come on, come on..." Li Yi hurriedly walked into the kitchen. If he was a little late, he would have to make do with egg fried rice again today.
Miss Liu Er seems to have made up her mind this time and will not give up until she makes a dish that is edible. She just feels sorry for the ingredients that he just threw away as garbage. Some of them are really expensive...
When I thought about the five thousand taels of silver I had just received, I felt less distressed.
Of the ten thousand taels of silver this time, I have to keep one thousand taels. When I leave, go and redeem the jade pendant. If the old emperor remembers it one day, he can't be fooled by the tsundere loli every time.
Lost the reason to fool him.
When I think of jade pendants, I think of that stingy pawnshop owner.
The value of that jade pendant is of course more than a thousand taels of silver, but last time I was in urgent need of money, so I had no choice but to be tricked by him.
He has always tricked people, and those who tricked him will be punished sooner or later.
The second time I saw him, I saw that he had lost something important, and the next time he had to lose his head..., so you still have to be upright. God is watching what you do, so you must uphold it and stick to it.
Live with an upright heart...
When the smell of burning came again from the kitchen of the small courtyard, the pawnshop owner in the county jail knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said with a trembling voice: "He, he was wearing a bamboo hat that day, little man,
The villain really doesn’t know that person’s identity!”
