The capital of Dongliang Kingdom. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Opposite the left prime minister's mansion, a thousand meters away, sits the same magnificent mansion.

It was the home of Yuan Lingyun, the right minister.

"Where did you get this?"

In Yuan's mansion, Yuan Lingyun sat on the high Taishi chair, rubbing a piece of crystal clear paperweight in his hand, his eyes were attracted by a dragon hovering over the paperweight, and he couldn't bear to leave after looking at it for a long time.

But his tone was full of surprise and surprise.

On the chair opposite the lower head, a figure sat quietly, with blue smoke curling in the teacup in front of him, but he didn't drink it.

"The villain has been monitoring them for many years on your orders, but they are really well guarded, I can't find a flaw, just this winter, I accidentally found that a few people were secretly sent out, I followed all the way, and finally found that they were chasing this paperweight, the villain lurked all the way and did not dare to make a move, until the last person Qiao Zuohuazi wanted to swallow this treasure alone, I shot to kill him, but the paperweight has changed hands, I repeatedly traced, and finally took the paperweight. As soon as the villain succeeded, he didn't dare to stay, and went straight to the capital. ”

Yuan Xiangguo frowned: "You said they said this is nephrite paperweight?"

"Yes, the villain judged from their attitude that what they said was true, if it was just an ordinary jade material, they would naturally not pay so much attention to it. ”

"Nephrite-" Yuan Lingyun slowly flipped his five fingers, "This is the legendary nephrite?" His gaze was close, and he held up the paperweight and looked at the flying dragon carefully.

Nodding his head and exclaiming: "Sure enough, the material is good, where can the general jade be carved with such a fine craftsmanship?" The jade itself is brittle, and the carving is very difficult. ”

"It flowed out of a house in Lingzhou called Liu Dingmao. Then they were chased and snatched all the way, and in the process, the villain heard them say that the source of the jade was not the Liu family, but the Bai family of Baifeng in Qingzhou Mansion, and the Bai family and the Liu family were relatives. ”

"So the nephrite paperweight went from the Bai family to the Liu family?" Yuan Lingyun muttered, "Even if it is such a valuable thing, how can the Bai family be so careless and easily give it away?"

So the villain has not been able to understand, all the way to think about it, and finally asked the eldest brother to see this thing, he confirmed that it is real nephrite, and it is indeed an early process, so it should be sent by the Bai family to the Liu family in the early years. ”

"In the early years, it made sense. But why didn't the Liu family collect it well, why did it easily fall out?"

"The Liu family married a daughter, using it as a dowry, originally wanted to add light to his face, but he didn't expect that before his daughter got married, the paperweight was stolen. As for what twists and turns happened, the little one really couldn't figure it out. But there is a small thing that I heard true, that Liu Ding Mao was originally a scholar in Lingzhou Mansion, just high school, and his parents were worried about Ding, so he simply broke off his career thoughts, went home and devoted himself to filial piety, accompanied his wife and concubine, and lived a quiet life of fine clothes and jade food. ”

"Oh, it's really a bookish thing, so I'll say, there is no reason for ordinary people to take this thing out at will. This surnamed Liu is very cute, and taking out such a baby as a dowry for his daughter shows that he is either a nerd or a master who is really indifferent to fame and fortune and regards money as dung. ”

The right minister's mansion is much simpler than the left minister's mansion, but it is also the prime minister's mansion, those fine porcelain vases are full of all kinds of flowers, red, purple, blue, yellow, and the room is full of a fragrant fragrance.

Yuan Xiangguo did not have any leisure to enjoy the flowers.

He frowned, "Back then, only Marshal Bai's team had the opportunity to contact the nephrite jade of the old pit, since the attack on the nephrite head of the Moro country, it was soon rumored that the old pit had been hollowed out, and there was no good jade to be mined, and even the nephrite objects stored in the emperor's palace were very limited. At that time, some people whispered that Bai Feng used his position to hide a large amount of nephrite without permission, and if this paperweight fell into the hands of some people, wouldn't it become the best evidence of offensive crimes?"

The person on the other side didn't dare to answer, just silently sipped tea.

"You've worked hard, go down first. This is the end of the jade business. You take a break, I have other important things to order. ”

A figure retreated silently.

The red-clad and white-trousers waiter had a jade plate on his oily bun, and he slowly stepped forward cautiously, knelt down, and dragged the woman's voice to echo: "Your Majesty, it's time to eat." As you instructed, this is a light meal. ”

On the dragon-shaped recliner covered with a yellow and soft velvet map, the emperor, dressed in bright yellow simple decorations, raised his head slowly, "Why is there another smell of raw garlic?"

The waiter's body was weak, and the two hands that had just been raised to put down the plate suddenly deviated, but the jade-colored bowl contained a hot bowl of soft soup, the soft soup was heavy, and the porcelain bowl slipped into the hand of the waiter, and fell to the ground with a bang. The hot soup rolled on the knees of the waiter. The waiter went to grab the bowl in a panic, but forgot that the plate was also in his hand, and the plate fell to the ground gently, making a crisp sound, and cracking countless pieces.

"The slave should die-the slave should die-" The attendant knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

A sneering smile appeared on the emperor's young face, "Why do you deserve to die?

The waiter was even more frightened, crying and begging: "The slave didn't eat raw garlic, she passed by the imperial dining room and passed by a palace maid just now, maybe she ate raw garlic to contaminate the smell to the slave." ”

"Oh-" the smile on the young man's face became stronger, "this is interesting, the only person who can leave the smell on you at the moment of passing by is someone who is close to you, and you are not just passing by, do you touch your hands or kiss your mouth?"

The waiter kowtowed like pounding garlic, "The servant didn't kiss his mouth, he just pulled his hand, it wasn't the slave himself who wanted to pull it, it was the palace maid who came to pull me, and she kept pestering the minion——"

"Okay-" The emperor's face suddenly froze like ice, and his voice fell in an instant, "Since the woman who can pester you means that she really loves you, and you say her like this, it means that you are a heartless man, even if that woman entrusts her life to you, it is unfortunate to pull it down and beat it to death with a stick-"

The chamberlain screamed and begged for mercy, but was still dragged down.

"Just because of a plate, His Majesty killed the chamberlain who had followed him for many years?"

In the harem with red walls and blue tiles, the emperor's new favorite concubine looked at herself who had just been put on a new face in the bronze mirror, and suddenly heard the news brought by the palace maid, and was stunned, what does the emperor mean?

It is normal for the emperor to kill a person, and he is an inner servant, but this inner servant is not ordinary, he is an old man who has served for many years.

Why did the emperor suddenly want to kill him?

The slave heard that what he broke was not ordinary mutton fat jade and jadeite, but nephrite plates, which were the few nephrite products in the palace. ”

Oh, the concubine breathed a sigh of relief, this is relieved, as long as she finds the reason for the emperor's sudden displeasure, she doesn't have to mention this heart.

"Quickly ask the small kitchen to bring the special duck soup prepared, and we will send it to the emperor." ”

A group of women, curling and tingting, branched flowers and willows all the way, and walked towards the tall and majestic front hall. (To be continued.) )
