"In that case, I'll have someone call you a pot of tea, or a tea doctor to come and make tea for you?" said Xie Fuya with a smile.

Xie Fuya didn't care whether Cheng Song drank tea or not, she was just polite. But the face still has to be done, after all, there is a request for this person.

Cheng Song snorted, "I didn't come to drink tea when I invited the county lord of Jingyi to this teahouse. ”

Xie Fuya lowered her eyes and hooked her lips, "In that case, let's get down to business." ”

"Very good. Cheng Song pushed Tang Cha aside, put his arms on the table and leaned forward slightly to stare at Xie Fuya's eyes, "Why did the county lord of Jingyi say in the letter that I wanted to frame Brother Ling? Just because Brother Ling kicked me into the water at the Queen Mother's Qianqiu banquet and guessed? At the same time, Cheng was also very curious, how did the county lord know that someone was going to frame Brother Ling? If it was really Cheng, how would you punish me and make me regret it for the rest of my life?"

Xie Fuya's words in the letter written yesterday were full of hypocrisy, and she naturally had no way to punish Cheng Song, but she knew that Cheng Song would not live to be eighteen years old! In fact, the letter was mainly a temptation!

"My brother is now supervising the renovation of the Xichun Garden in the palace, and a while ago a group of craftsmen were replaced, and two of the new craftsmen are always stirring up trouble, as if to cause a fight between the old and new craftsmen. Xie Fuya said, "The reason why I suspect Cheng Shizi is that the entourage heard the two provocates mention the word 'Lu Guogong'. ”

Cheng Song raised his eyebrows, "Mention 'Lu Guogong'? Are you sure that the entourage misheard?"

Xie Fuya hooked her lips and smiled, "That entourage is a cautious person, if he doesn't hear it clearly, how will he report it to his master?" That's why I thought it was Cheng Shizi who wanted to take revenge on my brother, so I sent someone to sow discord." After all...... I heard that Cheng Shizi also received the errand of repairing the governor's construction of the palace, and it didn't take much effort to change some craftsmen and install a few people. ”

"Heh!" Cheng Song laughed angrily, "The county lord can't help but regard Cheng as too despicable and villainous!"

"If you offend Cheng Shizi, please forgive me. Xie Fuya lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Yesterday, the prince said in the letter that he would help my brother find out who wanted to frame him, but is it true?"

Cheng Song grabbed the tea soup that had just been pushed away by himself and took a sip, then frowned and pushed the teacup away.

"Since it involves the Lu Guogong Mansion, I naturally want to find out. Cheng Song said with a straight face.

"Then I'll thank you in advance. Xie Fuya thanked her, and then couldn't help but ask, "Can Cheng Shizi find the owner of the knife he picked up in front of the palace gate last time?"

Cheng Song's eyes squinted, and his gaze was fixed on Xie Fuya's face.

With delicate hibiscus face, fluttering phoenix eyes, and red and soft red lips, Xie Fuya is not a stunning woman at first sight, but the more you look closely, the more you feel that this woman is in danger of being fascinating!

"What's the matter?" the county lord remembered that the knife was something you lost?" Cheng Song asked rhetorically.

"I lost a knife, but it wasn't the one Cheng Shizi chose. The one I threw away was someone's token of gratitude, but I don't know if he had forgotten it. Xie Fuya sighed lightly, "There are too many people who have made empty promises in this world, and without the token, I am afraid that I will not be able to repay the favor." ”

Cheng Song narrowed his eyes, and the corners of one side of his mouth were slightly hooked, "As the saying goes, great kindness is not thankful, and kindness is not reciprocated." The county lord is thinking about letting others repay the favor, isn't it right?"

Xie Fuya's eyes were slightly raised, and her phoenix eyes flashed with a sly light, "What's wrong? Isn't it difficult to raise only women and villains in this world? I'm trying to repay each other's kindness, what's wrong? Speaking of which, it's not okay to be ungrateful people?"

"Ahem!" Cheng Song coughed twice and touched his sideburns awkwardly.

On that day, in order to get rid of the little guy and go to Nanda Camp safely, he accidentally got into Xie Fuya's carriage! Cheng Song knew that Xie Fuya had already recognized him, and he had never said or mentioned the events of that day, so he shouldn't have taken it too seriously, so he also forgot about it. Who would have thought that Xie Fuya would take it out to mock him now, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, the county lord, I'll go to the palace in the afternoon to check. Cheng Song changed the subject back and said, "Where can Brother Ling's entourage be, can you ask him to identify the person who provoked the craftsman?"

Xie Fuya said, "The entourage who found those two suspicious people was the young man who delivered the letter for me yesterday, his name is Luo Changshou. I've always been by my brother's side, and I'll be able to find him when I go. ”

It turned out to be the young man who outperformed the herald? Cheng Song was slightly surprised in his heart, but his face was not obvious.

There is such a powerful and shrewd person around Xie Zhuo, is he really a Five Ghost Star?

Thinking of this, Cheng Song also stayed on the ground to stand up soon, "If the county lord has nothing else to do, Cheng will leave." ”

Xie Fuya also stood up and bowed slightly, "There is the son of Lao Cheng, and I ask the prince to forgive me for the false words in the previous letter." ”

Cheng Song's tongue pushed the root of his teeth, and said to Xie Fuya: "Cheng feels that Brother Ling's intelligence is less than half of that of the county lord, why pursue the glory of his career? With Princess Anyang and the Xie family's two major backers, and the county lord protecting him, why not be an idle noble?"

Xie Fuya was stunned when she heard this, and raised her eyes to look at Cheng Song.

How can anyone persuade others to let their own brother be a loafer and idle person? But Cheng Song must have a good intention when he said such a thing!

Cheng Song didn't say anything more and left the teahouse, and after getting on the horse, he took his entourage and went straight to the Lelu Park Palace outside the city.

Le Lu Park is located in Lushan 30 miles outside the capital, is the summer palace of the Great Wei Emperor, can be reached by horseback for about half an hour.

Xie Fuya watched Cheng Song ride away from the window, and only then did she relax a little.

Xie Fuya and Rushi sat in the teahouse for a while before leaving, and after getting into the carriage, Xie Fuya asked the coachman to go to the Lulusheng pawnshop on Yuyang Street.

No one in the capital may know that Lu Lusheng's pawnshop was once one of Princess Anyang's properties!

It is said that this Lusheng pawnshop was an unknown private property of Queen Gou when she was the crown princess, and it was later handed over to the henchman to take care of. After Princess Anyang got married, it was handed over to Princess Anyang.

Because Xie Fuya was married to the son of the second room of Chengyibo's mansion, Princess Anyang was afraid that the youngest daughter's life would not be as good as in the past after the separation of Chengyibofu, so she gave Xie Fuya the pawnshop, but it was not written in the dowry list.

In the previous life, Xie Fuya didn't care much about the property in her dowry, so she was handed over to the people who accompanied her to take care of it, and she collected money every quarter and every year. Later, she was poisoned, her mother was sick, her father and brother were frustrated, and her dowry was all embezzled by the Cai family!

She won't be so stupid anymore in this life!

The back door of Lu Lusheng's pawnshop was in an alley, Xie Fuya asked the coachman to park the carriage at the entrance of the alley, and she and Rushi got out of the car and walked in.

After tapping the door panel in front of a house in the alley, someone inside the door soon opened the door.

"Master. "The one who opened the door was a young man dressed in a pale blue robe," said the poet girl. ”

Xie Fuya nodded, and after entering the courtyard, he asked, "Are people here?"

The young man arched his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Jane is talking in front." ”

Xie Fuya pursed her lips and smiled, sure enough, she still came, and it was not in vain that she had waited so long for so long to lay out and throw money!

The façade of the pawnshop facing the street is not large, and the high platform and wooden railing separate the pawnshop shopkeeper from the pawnbroker. But behind the pawnshop there was a large storehouse, two rooms for the occupants and a stove room.

The young man invited Xie Fuya to the pawnshop compartment, and in front of a board wall were the pawnshop keeper and the pawnbroker.

"It's not that I deliberately pressed your price, it's really that the number you want is too outrageous!" The shopkeeper of Lu Lusheng's pawnshop said respectfully and embarrassed to the pawnbroker, "Even if you take a vase from the palace now, you can't call it more than a thousand prices! ”

"Jian Si'er, don't you want to deceive the third master!" Cai Chengchuan snorted loudly, "A few days ago, you spent 600 taels to receive a pair of Zhou kiln porcelain vases rewarded by the imperial tribute, and sold them for 80,000 taels?

"This ...... Third master, who are you listening to? How can there be a vase worth 80,000 taels?"

Cai Chengchuan is now running crazy for lack of money, who cares if it's true or not! I think that Shopkeeper Jian wants to spend a few hundred taels to take away his pair of vases!

"Okay, you said no, right?" Cai Chengchuan patted the two boxes held by the little guy behind him, "I don't embarrass you, 50,000 is too high, 30,000 taels is always okay, right?

"Ouch, third master!" the shopkeeper Jane's tone was a little pleading, "We really can't accept it, why don't you go to another house to have a look?"

"Fart! The master will be in your house! If you don't accept it, I will go to the government to sue you for daring to buy and sell the royal tribute!" Cai Chengchuan saw that the shopkeeper Jian refused to give in, and he was so angry that he played tricks!

The law of the Great Wei Dynasty decreed: All things that pay tribute can be rewarded, gifted, and buried with them, and cannot be bought or sold, and violators will be fined 10,000 taels of silver and sentenced to three years!

But once the tribute entered the people, it was not recorded. As long as no one reports it and holds the physical evidence, even if there is a sale, the government cannot arrest anyone.

Cai Chengchuan himself wants to be the royal tribute, how dare he go to the official mansion to sue the shopkeeper Jian! It's just a bluff!

Shefya nodded at the young man and motioned for him to take the next step.

The young man, commanded by his master, went around the partition to the front, whispered a few words in the voice of the shopkeeper Jane, and retreated to the back.

Shopkeeper Jane listened to the young man's whisper, and his face showed panic, and he immediately erected a few sealing plates on the counter.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Cai Chengchuan saw that the shopkeeper Jian looked like he was about to close the door, so he was so anxious that he stepped forward and reached out to stop him, "Do you want to accept it?"

"I'm sorry for you, Third Master, the villain is in a hurry to close the shop because of something at home, why don't you come back tomorrow!" said Shopkeeper Jane with a panicked expression.

Cai Chengchuan saw that the face of the shopkeeper Jian was wrong, and his heart was at a loss.

There must be someone in the official face of this pawnshop, otherwise it will not be possible to do it just because some pawnbrokers like laizi come to make trouble! The panicked appearance of the shopkeeper Jian must have happened something that the official face cannot easily settle, so he will hurriedly close the shop. Could it be that the last time they collected 80,000 taels of vases, it happened?

Cai Chengchuan was also panicked in his heart, and hurriedly called the little guy to go out!

"Shopkeeper! I want to be the ......."

As soon as Cai Chengchuan walked to the door, a chubby woman walked in with a basket covered with a blue cloth. Both compartments were in a hurry, and they couldn't hold their feet at the door and bumped into each other!

The fat woman was wide and fat, and her strength was not small, so she knocked Cai Chengchuan back three or four steps, stepped on the little guy's feet, and hit the little guy's face with her waving arm!

"Ouch!" The little guy was hit in the face by Cai Chengchuan's hand, and instinctively raised his hand to cover his face, and the two boxes he was holding fell to the ground!

The sound of the vessel shattering was particularly harsh, and Cai Chengchuan's internal organs were all in one place!

"Vase!" Cai Chengchuan shouted.

It was too late for the little guy to come back to his senses and want to save it, so he opened the two boxes with a fluke thought, only to see the broken porcelain!

Cai Chengchuan's eyes darkened, his fifty thousand taels ...... Thirty thousand taels!

"You woman!" Cai Chengchuan turned to look at the fat woman who bumped into him with heartache and anger, "You...... You pay me 50,000 taels!"

The fat woman stroked her chest and her face was pale, and when she heard Cai Chengchuan say that she should pay 50,000 taels, she immediately raised her eyes!

"Fifty thousand taels, you want to go crazy for money!" The fat woman took two steps forward with the flesh on her body and yelled, "I haven't asked you to pay me yet!"

"You...... You've broken my things!" Cai Chengchuan pointed to the broken porcelain vase in the two boxes on the ground and said angrily, "Do you know what this is?

The fat woman glanced at it and snorted, "I broke it?" Obviously, you hit your subordinate, your sub didn't hold it and broke it, and I didn't touch a finger!

Where did Cai Chengchuan quarrel with the woman in the market, he was so angry that he jumped to his feet, but he couldn't talk about others. But he didn't want to stop there!

Just as he was theorizing, four men wearing the clothes and hats of the officials of the Jing'an Mansion appeared at the door, with knives hanging from their waists and impatience between their eyebrows.

"What are you arguing about, what are you arguing about? Jian Si'er, come out quickly!"

Jane's shopkeeper had already come out of the file, bypassed Cai Chengchuan's master and servant, pushed away the fat woman, and saluted the official at the door, "Poor master, villain Jian Si'er is here, I don't know what happened to the poor master's visit?"

One of the officials glanced at the chaos in the pawnshop, and then looked at the shopkeeper Jian, "Someone in the Chengyi Bofu in Beijing reported to the official, saying that the old lady in the Bofu had lost the imperial tribute in the room! I will be ordered by Lord Yin of the Mansion to visit the pawnshop in Beijing to see if anyone has pawned the imperial tribute!"

"Ah, I see. Shopkeeper Jane said with a smile, "The villain's shop collects some worthless things all morning, how can there be any royal tribute." ”

The official nodded, "If someone comes to be a thing, you check it carefully, and if you find that it is a tribute, you must report it!"

"That's nature, that's nature. Jane said.

"What is that, and why is it broken?" asked a servant outside the door, pointing to a broken porcelain vase on the ground.

Shopkeeper Jane glanced back, his cheeks trembling slightly, "Ah, that's something that the guest was preparing to pawn, but it was accidentally broken." ”

"Oh, four adults!" the fat woman suddenly spoke, grabbed the nearest official and said, "You have to be the master for me, this person didn't say that his two bottles were worth 50,000 taels, or what...... It's what you call a tribute!"
