The first thousand two hundred and twenty-eight chapters jade seal first appeared
Liu Meiniang served Guo Song wholeheartedly all night. Early the next morning, Guo Song sent her back to the Liu Mansion. Although she also wanted to become the concubine of the Jin Dynasty, Guo Song was unmoved. Liu Meiniang had no choice but to
He left full of sorrow.
Guo Song stood on the side of the ship and watched the carriage go away. Although this woman had a good taste, her utilitarianism was too strong and her purpose was too obvious. She had no emotions at all and just wanted to exchange her beauty for status.
And power, this kind of scheming woman will only make his family uneasy. In comparison, he still prefers Ying Caihe.
Calculating the time, Ying Caihe will arrive today or tomorrow. Thinking of Ying Caihe's body like a female leopard, Guo Song's heart suddenly became hot.
There is a small neighborhood close to the south bank of Luoshui River, called Anconfang. Basically, the residents in the neighborhood are small businessmen, from all walks of life. The people are relatively complex. Like other neighborhoods, half of the residents in Anconfang have fled.
.
Many houses in Ancongfang are empty. There is a small courtyard covering an area of half an acre near the north wall of the square, with only five or six rooms. This is the house of the young eunuch Jiang Chun'er.
He and another young eunuch Wang Yu killed Wang Xianzhong and escaped from the palace, where they hid in this house.
Jiang Chun'er was lying on the bed, bored and playing with a jade seal. This was the item in the brocade bag snatched from Wang Xianzhong's neck. He thought it was some kind of treasure, but he didn't expect it to be a broken jade seal, with one corner broken and the inlay
It's covered in gold, but he doesn't recognize the characters on it. This broken jade seal is definitely worthless.
In addition to the jade seal, they also stole many good things, including a set of jade-carved Four Treasures of the Study, a gold pen, a white jade lion paperweight, and a gold utensil carved in the shape of a tiger, but they found no money or silver.
There was a sound of opening the door in the yard, and another young eunuch, Wang Yu, ran back with a basin of barley porridge and two thick-wheat buns.
"Xiaochun, dinner is ready!"
Naturally, this was food provided for charity outside. When Jiang Chuner saw the porridge and steamed buns, his eyes immediately showed disappointment. They had been eating them for several days, and everything was the same.
Although they were not well-dressed and well-fed in the palace, they still enjoyed delicious food and spicy food. How had they ever eaten such rough food?
Jiang Chun'er sat down listlessly. Wang Yu poured him half of the porridge and handed him a thick steamed bun, "Eat it quickly!"
Jiang Chun'er took a bite of the steamed bun and found it hard to swallow. He drank the porridge again and spit it out, causing him to cough violently.
Wang Yu was really dissatisfied and said: "It's good if you can eat it. Why are you so picky?"
Jiang Chun'er quickly explained: "I'm not picky, does this porridge smell bad?"
"What's the smell? It's the same thing every day. Do you want to eat it or not?"
"Brother Yu, I really can't eat this. How about we secretly go back to the palace! Take out the money."
The money they had saved was all in the dormitory. When they escaped, they had no time to return to the dormitory, and now they dare not go back.
Wang Yu snorted, "Do you think there is still money in the dormitory? When they arrested us, they had already rummaged through everything and emptied the dormitory. What's the use of going back?"
Jiang Chun'er had nothing to say for a moment. Wang Yu was right, he really couldn't find anything when he went back.
"How about we sell something?" Jiang Chun'er hesitated.
Wang Yu didn't say anything. He also had the idea of selling things. This pile of jade and gold meant nothing to them. It was not as useful as a pile of money.
Seeing that Wang Yu had no objection, Jiang Chun'er suddenly became energetic and quickly added: "I have thought about it. We need money to leave Luoyang. These things can only be sold at a price in a big place like Luoyang. Not to mention the best prices in small counties.
The price is such that no one is buying it.”
"Then where do you want to sell it?" Wang Yu finally asked.
"I have considered going to Baoji Cabinet Shop. I have sold things there before and the prices are pretty good!"
Some large counter shops have a pawn business, which is to sell things as pawns, which is the predecessor of pawn shops in later generations. However, the business is relatively simple, that is, selling it at a fixed price, which can get about 50% of the value of the goods, and the counter shop can increase it by another 20%.
, sold to those in need.
Wang Yu thought for a long time and said: "There are two Baoji Cabinet Shops in Luoyang. Let's go to sell them separately in the afternoon!"
There are two Baoji Cabinet Shops near Luoyang's South City and North City. Jiang Chuner carried a small package and came to the Baoji Cabinet Shop next to the North City. He had sold property here several times and was relatively familiar with it. In his package was
Several pieces of jade were all stolen by him. What Wang Yu stole was the golden tiger and the golden pen.
Jiang Chun'er hesitated for a long time before walking into the cabinet shop. There happened to be two young men who were also selling things, and Jiang Chun'er lined up behind them.
He guessed who the two young men were at a glance. They were selling women's jewelry. Needless to say, these two men were soldiers of the Tiger Guard or the Qianniu Guard. They had robbed items from wealthy families.
"The total is equivalent to sixty old coins!" The shopkeeper inside quoted a price.
The two men immediately shouted, "It can't be just that little! That gold hairpin is almost two taels."
"That's the price, forget it if you don't sell it!" The steward impatiently pushed their jewelry out.
The two men looked at each other and nodded helplessly, "Okay! But we want money."
"Okay! Sixty taels of old money, which is equivalent to fifty taels of silver according to the market price in Chang'an. How about that?"
The price was not bad, so the two young men agreed. The steward took out a piece of paper, asked them to print their fingerprints, and gave them five ingots and ten taels of silver.
The two men took the money and left in a hurry.
The shopkeeper picked up the jewelry and looked at it with a smile on his face. There were too many soldiers selling jewelry and property in the past two days. They were all soldiers of Zhu Si in the past. The shopkeeper basically bought them at half price and made a lot of money. Anyway,
These things were all stolen by the soldiers, and they were purely business without capital. The soldiers didn't care about the low price, as long as they gave them money.
"Please!" came a high-pitched voice from outside the cabinet.
Only then did the steward notice that there was a young guest outside Mucha. He was not tall and looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. He looked very fair.
The steward was well-informed and could tell at a glance that this was a young eunuch from the palace. He was holding a package in his hand, which was probably something stolen from the palace.
"Come to sell something?" the steward asked with a smile.
"Yes, can you help me see how much these can be sold for?"
Jiang Chun'er handed the package in, and the steward took it, put it on the table, opened it, and smiled, "It's jade!"
"Yes!"
The steward looked carefully and saw that it was a set of writing utensils, a pen washer, a pen holder, a pen holder, a pen ruler, and a jade lion for paperweights, all carved from the finest Khotan white jade.
The steward was secretly surprised. The jade lion had the emperor's signature on it. This set of items should be from the imperial study room, but it was actually stolen by this young eunuch.
He suddenly remembered the shopkeeper's instruction to pay attention to the eunuch who came to sell things and report him immediately.
He chuckled and said, "The quality of the jade is very good, but I don't know much about jade. I'll ask about the price and wait a moment."
He went in with the package, and not long after, he came back with the things. The shopkeeper had already sent someone to notify the patrolling army, asking him to stabilize the little eunuch first.
The steward smiled and asked again: "The jade is of good quality and can be sold at a good price. Do you have anything else to sell?"
Jiang Chuner was happy when he heard that he could sell it for a good price. He took out a jade seal from his pocket and handed it to the steward, "There is also a jade seal here, but one corner is broken. I wonder how much it is worth?"
"let me see!"
The steward took the jade seal, and when he saw the eight seal characters clearly, he was so frightened that he trembled all over, "I'll go."
Accept the destiny from heaven, live forever and everlastingly
When Guo Song heard that he had found the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, he rushed to Baoji Cabinet Shop like a gust of wind. In the shopkeeper's room, he saw two young eunuchs tied together. Wang Yu was also illiterate and betrayed Emperor Daizong.
Yubi and Tianxia soldiers and horses mobilized soldiers and tiger symbols, and were also arrested.
In fact, it's no wonder they didn't recognize these things. A set of jade writing utensils were also on the imperial desk of Emperor Zizong at that time. They were stolen by Wang Xianzhong from the treasure house in the inner treasury. Of course he would not take these things out because Zhu Si was ill.
, no one cared about Wang Xianzhong, so he dared to put the items used in the late emperor's study on his desk to show off, but unexpectedly, two young eunuchs stole them out.
As for the imperial seal, it was always kept close to Wang Xianzhong. After he was killed, it was torn off by the young eunuch Jiang Chun'er and taken away.
Everything was placed in a wooden box. Guo Song opened the lid, took out a sandalwood box from inside, slowly opened it, and the jade seal carved from He's jade finally appeared in front of him.
Guo Song gently touched this extremely gentle jade seal. He felt an indescribable excitement in his heart. It was obviously God's will that the jade seal fell into his hands!
"Your Highness, what should we do with these two?" Zhou Fei pointed at the two young eunuchs and asked.
"Give them fifty taels of silver each and let them go!"
Without them, who knows where this imperial jade seal would have been hidden by Wang Xianzhong?
