Zhao Laosi spoke so loudly that people in the tea shed in the distance heard it. Several people asked in unison: "Why don't you plan to take such a good baby? Isn't that strange?"
Zhao Laosi said proudly: "Those who don't know the inside story will naturally find it strange, but those who know the inside story will not be surprised at all."
Someone asked: "What's the inside story?"
That Zhao Laosi just smiled and said nothing. A person a few tables away could not stand it anymore and said coldly, "Why do you ask more? He doesn't know it himself, he is just talking nonsense."
Zhao Laosi was so excited that he said loudly: "Who said I didn't know? The red envelope and glass ball in the cave is a treasure of the Xing family, but somehow it was known to many people. Seeing that it could not be concealed, Mr. I'm not a fool, so I naturally found an excuse to announce it, and then set up a store, and the one with the highest price will get it."
Several people asked in unison: "What store?"
“Whoever pays the highest price gets it?”
"If a dignitary wants it, will the Xing family dare to ask for a high price?"
Zhao Laosi said: "You don't want to ask, who is the official in the Xing family? Is there any high-ranking official who dares to offend them easily?"
"Who is it?"
"Zhao Laosi, who is this?"
"We only heard that the Xing family was serving as officials outside, but we didn't know what officials they were!"
"Hehehe, you are both Sangzi, and you don't even know the origin of the Xing family. Let me tell you, Xingzhong's younger brother, Xingyi, is a student of He Guogong Zhang Jun. He once served as the third envoy to the court. There are so many colleagues in the army that even the Prime Minister of Qin is afraid of him."
"That's it!"
"That's it!"
"In that case, those who buy glass balls are probably high-ranking officials."
"I think this should be considered as survival by docking one's tail, right?"
…
After listening to the conversation in the tea shed in the distance, Feng Zhou nodded secretly.
I never thought that I would hear so much news along the way.
Unexpectedly, a small magic weapon to cure diseases would actually involve so much news.
After eating and resting, everyone continued on their way. In the afternoon, they finally got a feel for Yuhang County. The Yuhang County magistrate had already arranged for people to wait at the city gate, and actually took the group directly to a quiet courtyard. This small courtyard is very secluded. , hidden by the lake, looks ordinary from the outside. Who would have thought that once you enter, you will be like walking into a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, with pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water.
"Oh, brother Zhou Nian, I've been waiting for you to see through the autumn water. Please come in quickly, please come in quickly."
The Yuhang County Magistrate came out quickly and took the Zhou County Magistrate inside.
Magistrate Zhou also took the opportunity to introduce the origin of Feng Zhou.
I heard that Feng Zhou was a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect and the Jindan Sect. He was the younger brother of the two heads of the two sects. He had great magic power and was very capable of subduing thieves who robbed tax collectors. The Yuhang County Magistrate suddenly stood in awe, cupped his hands and said: " I have seen Zhenren Feng, please come in."
Li Gongfu and others were arranged to go elsewhere, and the two county magistrates entered the lobby together with Feng Zhou.
Magistrate Zhou asked: "Brother Zhao Nian, the so-called Ziwuyuluanli is a strange god. What's more, this magic weapon is so magical and is a treasure that you and I cannot control. Why do you want to fight for it?"
County Magistrate Zhao of Yuhang County smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Zhou Nian, I am just a small county magistrate. How can I have such big thoughts? It's just that the background of wanting to buy this treasure is so big that my brothers have to come forward to take care of them. They all day long No problem, this kind of treasure that cures diseases and saves people, seeks good luck and avoids misfortunes, and provides peace of mind is the most highly praised. There are three big people from the industry, and one from Shaoxing Prefecture. This is the third time that everyone has gathered together to buy this. It's a treasure, as long as it is confirmed to be a real treasure this time, it will be settled!" Magistrate Zhao sighed.
Apparently, he is also an outsider.
"But this kind of magic weapon has an extraordinary origin, and the price will definitely not be low, so I asked Brother Nian to find an expert for me. If it is true, I, the noble man, will buy it even if it is sold."
Hearing this, Feng Zhou shook his head slightly.
He has roughly understood that the rumors on the market are half true and half false, but this ruby glazed ball does exist.
The master who sent County Magistrate Zhao to arrange the eye must be a high-ranking official, otherwise he might not be able to use Magistrate Zhao.
"How did this magic weapon of the Xing family spread?" Magistrate Zhou asked curiously.
"That's the magic weapon of the Xing family." Magistrate Zhao said with a wry smile: "It belongs to the Jie family in Sichuan and Sichuan. The Jie family is powerful in Sichuan and Shu. This time someone from the Jie family came to Beijing to serve as an official. One of his descendants
Bring this magic weapon to Beijing to sell it."
"How dare he sell the family magic weapon?" County Magistrate Zhou said in shock.
"The patriarch of his family has made the decision. If he wants to sell it, can he give you a reason?" Magistrate Zhao asked.
"Then your nobleman is the Prince of Liang?"
"That's not the case. How could the prince condescend to come to such an occasion? This time, the third son of Prince Liang's family, Zhao Qinghe, is here."
"So that's it!" Magistrate Zhou nodded,
Feng Zhou was also thoughtful at the side.
The Prince of Liang was a member of the royal family, but his fiefdom was in Suzhou. The third son of Prince Liang, Zhao Qinghe, was quite famous. I thought he was a famous libertine. He was proficient in everything, relying on his strong backing, and always being arrogant.
However, although he has a strong backing, in terms of status, he may not be ranked high in Lin'an. There are many people not named Zhao who can compete with him.
Entering the lobby, there were two rows of Taishi chairs in the hall. There were a group of people sitting on each of the Taishi chairs. A middle-aged man in charge smiled and said:
"Magistrate Zhao, is this the Taoist Priest?"
Magistrate Zhao hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Third Young Master Qi, this is Zhenren Feng, who was invited by Magistrate Zhou."
"Haha." The man nodded to County Magistrate Zhou: "I am determined."
Magistrate Zhou suddenly felt that his bones were three ounces lighter, and he quickly bowed his head and said, "I'm here to pay my respects to the Third Young Master." He sat aside.
Feng Zhou gave a slight salute to the third son of Prince Liang, and looked up at him. He saw that this guy's face was pale, his eyes were thick, his body was weak, and his behavior was frivolous. Although he was dressed in silk and satin, he gave people a very ungrateful feeling. Sure enough,
He is a dandy boy.
"Master Feng, please sit down. I'll ask you to palm me later." He said calmly.
"Okay," Feng Zhou nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, a person sitting on the Taishi chair next to him sneered:
"Third Young Master, you are walking in a majestic place, at the feet of the Emperor, and you want to find such a little Taoist boy to serve as your keeper? Is there no one in Lin'an Mansion? Or you can't invite anyone?"
Zhao Qinghe's face tightened and he snorted coldly:
"Tong Baichuan, this is Yuhang, not Shaoxing!"
"Haha, if His Royal Highness is here, I will shut up immediately and go back to Shaoxing. But now..." Tong Baichuan smiled disdainfully.
He had a fierce look on his face, and there were several tall and strong men standing behind him. It was obvious at a glance that he was a master of martial arts.
Sitting next to him was an old man wearing a brown brocade robe. He had an extraordinary bearing and his eyes were half closed. Even when he was facing Zhao Qinghe, he never opened his eyes. His posture was very grand.
"Huh!" Zhao Qinghe knew that there was nothing he could do about this devilish king of Shaoxing, so he suppressed his anger, sat back in his seat, and ignored him.
Feng Zhou couldn't help but glance at Tong Baichuan. If he dared to confront a member of the royal family, this kid had a lot of background.
"Okay." Another old man in brocade robes said with a frown. "Don't mind too much, Third Young Master. Tong Baichuan has the character of a demon king. We have known each other for more than ten years, and you still don't know him."
