Before Xiaozhu could speak, Concubine Li looked awkward, "That's right, since you kept saying that this was given to me by Mrs. Weiyuan Hou, then I called the boss of Fengchai Tower, and I will know if this thing was brought out by Mrs. Weiyuan Hou from Fengchai Tower." ”

When the emperor heard Concubine Li's words, he suddenly became angry, this step shake and earrings, all of them are Concubine Mei's old things, he sent the chief attendant to Fengchai Tower to make them in person, when it was given to Concubine Mei, it really set off a wave in the palace, and Concubine Li was attached to the queen that day, how could she not know.

To say such a thing shows that it is ill-intentioned.

Anger rose, the emperor immediately opened his mouth to deny it, but Xiao Yu took the lead, "It's also a way to call and ask, this thing is Concubine Mei's old thing, it is so good, it actually went to the hands of Mrs. Weiyuan Hou, and it was sent to Concubine Li, ask the people in Fengchai Tower, maybe there are really any clues." ”

originally wanted to strive for innocence, but as soon as Xiao Yu said this, Concubine Li suddenly felt uneasy, and looked at Xiao Yu suspiciously.

Xiao Yu didn't look at her, but only said to the emperor: "Father, the son remembers that this step and earrings were given to Concubine Mei by the emperor that day, and it stands to reason that this thing should never flow out of the palace." After the incident of Concubine Mei that day, it was inevitable that some palace people with evil intentions would steal it out and sell it, and it was not known that according to the ministers, it would be better to call the pawnshop shopkeepers in Kyoto who dared to accept the objects in the palace. ”

There are many pawnshops in Kyoto, but not everyone dares to accept anything.

Like the step of this peony flower head, there seems to be nothing peculiar, but because of the carved sign of the Fengchai Building, even if it does not come from the palace, it is also from those high-ranking and noble places, ordinary pawnshops, naturally dare not provoke this kind of business.

In this way, the scope is much narrower.

When the emperor heard this, he nodded and ordered: "Just follow the four highnesses, and send people quickly." ”

The inner servant received the order and immediately carried it out.

For a while, in the imperial study, the air seemed to be frozen by the cold outside the house, and it was so solidified that people couldn't breathe, and the fine sand in the hourglass flowed down, indicating that time passed inch by inch.

Finally, when Concubine Li's kneeling legs were numb, a small chamberlain led seven people in.

These seven people, even though they are all the most prominent shopkeepers in Kyoto, are just ordinary people in the final analysis.

What is the boundary of the palace, what is the boundary of the imperial study, the holy car is now, one by one can't help but tremble with his legs and feet, all the way to follow the little chamberlain to walk to the side by side with the Gan family, before the little chamberlain returns, one by one dumplings seem to plop down and kneel, from beginning to end, even dare not raise his head, his eyes are staring at the ground, his eyes dare not move, only the beads of sweat on his forehead, click and fall.

"The grass people knock to see the emperor!" according to the words taught by the little chamberlain before coming in, and he shivered and greeted him.

The emperor tried his best to be approachable, and let out a "hmm", "get up and speak." ”

The little chamberlain glanced down at a few people on the ground, a wry smile quickly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked up and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that I can't stand, so let them kneel." ”

Kneeling on the ground trembled like sifting chaff, how could this stand up.

The emperor knew what he meant, and he was not reluctant, so after bowing his head, he pointed to the tray with the step shake and earrings, and said, "Let them see, but they have seen it." ”

When even the chief chamberlain lifted the tray up, bent down and paused and handed it to them, "Look carefully!"

"Yes yes yes ......"

A burst of overlapping sounds fell, his eyes moved, and after a quick look, only two people said they had seen it.

One is the shopkeeper of Fengchailou, and the other is the shopkeeper of the Xuantong pawnshop in Kyoto, in addition to these two people, the rest were taken out by the little waiter.

Pointing to the shopkeeper of Fengchai Building, the emperor said: "You say it first, when have you seen it?" Yuluo glanced at Concubine Li and Gan's family, and Concubine Li's eyes stared at the shopkeeper of Fengchai Building for a moment, her face was full of solemnity, but Gan's face was iron-blue, and she looked like she was shaking and almost fainting.

Seeing this, the speculation in the emperor's heart deepened one step further.

The shopkeeper of Fengchai Mansion obviously remembered this gold ornament vividly, and when the emperor's words fell, he didn't have time to think about it, even if he spoke in a trembling voice, " Many years ago, there was a father-in-law in the palace who took the painted pattern to the Fengchai Building, and formulated the production of this step shake and the earrings that matched it, the father-in-law made an extraordinary move, but he designated the most elaborate master of the Fengchai Building, so that he threw away all the work at hand, and only completed this order first, as for the losses caused, he should bear the compensation, so the grass people have a particularly deep memory of this step. ”

The father-in-law who made a generous hand was naturally the chief of the chamberlain, and that pattern was naturally depicted by the emperor himself.

As soon as he spoke, the emperor hummed slightly, "Since then, have you ever seen this step shake again?"

The shopkeeper of Fengchai Building nodded, "I have seen it, just three or four months ago, a mother-in-law of the Hou Mansion of Weiyuan took this step and earrings to Fengchai Mansion and wanted to renovate it. ”

The four words of the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion were spoken, like the vegetarian Gan and the restless Concubine Li were like cats with their tails stepped on, and they brushed their eyes and went straight to the shopkeeper of Fengchai Building, "You are talking nonsense!"

The end is in unison.

The shopkeeper of Fengchai Building was already because of the answer in front of the emperor, and his soul was not attached, and at this moment he was scolded by Concubine Li and Gan's family, and he was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his forehead was firmly attached to the ground, his shoulders and back, and he couldn't stop trembling, "The grass people don't dare to ......"

The voice is about to cry.

The emperor's angry eyes glanced at Concubine Li and Gan, "Let him finish." The voice was not loud, but it was with the anger of grinding teeth and blood, and it was low and heartbreaking.

Concubine Li's tongue flashed suddenly, and she didn't dare to say the words again.

"You continue!" pointed to the shopkeeper of Fengchai Building, who was prostrate on the ground, and almost the whole person had to stick to the ground, and the emperor said.

The shopkeeper of Fengchai Building took a few breaths, and said tremblingly: "The rules of Fengchai Building, but all the gold ornaments shipped, no longer renovated, not repaired, anyone who can afford to buy the gold ornaments of Fengchai Building, no one will care whether the gold ornaments are durable, and no one will wear this gold ornaments on their heads all year round, even though the things in Fengchai Lou are ridiculously expensive, but these things are almost all disposable items of powerful and wealthy people. Therefore, even if he refused. ”

"The gold ornaments shipped by Fengchai Building, this is the first time that I have encountered a renovation to renovate, and the other party is the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion of the rich world, so the grass people are very impressed. ”

The things in Fengchai Building are sky-high prices, but the quality is really not complimentary.

Many jewelry, but once or twice worn, there are scars, but as the shopkeeper of Fengchai House said, their things, bought at this price, who will really wear a piece of jewelry all year round!

There is no shortage of ornaments for those who buy his things.

What is pursued is nothing but decency.
