The Ayajinin Temple is subordinate to the Shaofu Supervisor, and the current palace and royal fabrics and embroidery all come from here, and the silk fabrics awarded by the emperor's close ministers and festivals are also provided by the Ayajinin.

On this day, the Ayajin Courtyard ushered in three special guests, who were personally received by Liu Congguang, a popular man in front of the current Queen Mother, who made the young government supervisor who accompanied him muttered in his heart, and couldn't help but wonder where the person came from.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are the head of my Great Song Dynasty weaving industry, and you are also the "official silk" of my Great Song Dynasty. The purpose of inviting you to come this time, I think you all know, it is related to the sewing of the Queen Mother's birthday dress, please be cautious. Liu Congguang said.

"Lord Liu, please explain the details of this dress for us in detail." Dressed in green clothes, gentle and elegant, it is the second young man Yin Ren of "Yin Ji Silk", which makes people feel good at first sight. "Yin Ji Silk" is the largest silk village in the Great Song Dynasty and Zhejiang Road, and it is also the largest "official thickness" in this dynasty.

"For the sake of prudence, the Queen Mother's dress is mainly sewn by one of the three of you, and the other two are supplemented by sewing."

"Lord Liu, who is the main family and who is the auxiliary?" The man in white is the young master of the largest "Shu Jin family" on Chengdu Fu Road.

"From tomorrow, it will be limited to 10 days, and the examination will be conducted after 10 days. The content of the examination is three aspects: one is the fabric of the dress, the second is the embroidery pattern of the dress, and the third is the embroidery technology. At that time, the winning one will be the leader, and the rest will be supplemented. Liu Congguang looked at the three.

The eldest young master of Dingzhou's "Lu Ji Weaving" was a taciturn man, and he didn't ask any questions after listening, but just nodded.

"The specific requirements are all recorded on this handscroll, and you will refer to it more when you go back", the Shaofu Supervisor hurriedly handed the handscroll to the three Shaodong.

"Of course, you have contributed to the imperial court, and the imperial court has also been rewarded. The official silk has always been changed every two years, as long as the empress dowager contributes to the dress this time, this year's "official silk" expiration can be extended to five years later; in addition, the imperial court will help the one who contributed the most to enter the border set up "Rongchang". Therefore, this time the Queen Mother's dress, please do your best. Liu Congguang said in an accentuated tone.

"We will do our best, please rest assured." Hearing this, the three of them were all happy, and their mouths responded again and again.

"Five days later, there will be a banquet "Huixian Building" under it, and the three of them must be present at the table. Liu Congguang said. Lord Liu is polite, and we will arrive on time. Yin Ren clenched his fists and said, and the other two hurriedly echoed.

Hangzhou "Yin Ji Silk", Xichuan "Shu Jin Family" and Dingzhou "Lu Ji Weaving" these three control the silk fabrics in the east, south and north of the Great Song Dynasty, and represent the highest level of the Great Song Dynasty weaving industry.

The representatives of these three families are the best of the young generation of the three families, and the heads of each family send them not only to train them, but also to make friends with the court, so as to add weight to their respective heads of houses in the future.

There is an elegant and gorgeous high-rise building in the southwest of Longjin Bridge, the door of the building is decorated with the colorful building Huanmen that is painted with flowers, birds, fish and insects, and there are tassels fluttering under the eaves. On the Wangxuan next to the main entrance, a wisp of clear cloth banner flutters in the wind, and with the light of the lantern, the three big characters of "Huixian Building" appear and disappear from time to time.

Most of the banquets assigned by the imperial court are placed in Huixian Building, and there are Kaifeng Mansion, Dianqian Division, and Shangshu Province on the street, so that Huixian Mansion may not be the largest restaurant in Bianliang, but it is definitely one of the most famous restaurants.

Liu Congguang because of the sewing of the queen mother's dress, in the Huixian Lou banquet of the three families of Shaodong, at this time the time has come, "Yin Ji silk" of Yin Ren and "Lu Ji weaving" of Lu Mu are all there, only the "Shu Jin family" of the grandson Cong has not been seen.

Liu Congguang also had the intention of befriending the three families this time, and when he saw that Sun Zicong had not arrived, he did not blame him, and said to the other two, "The two Shaodong will stay for a while, this Sun Shaodong may have been delayed, everyone will use tea first." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, we're just getting closer to adults", Yin Ren took a sip of tea and smiled warmly.

At this time, a guard came in from outside the door, his face was scorched, he hurriedly walked in front of Liu Congguang, leaned over and hugged his fists, bowed his head and said a few words in Liu Congguang's ear, Liu Congguang's face changed slightly.

Liu Congguang looked at the two Shaodong, and stopped talking. "Lord Liu, is there something wrong?" Yin Ren noticed the change in Liu Congguang's face at a glance.

"You tell the truth." Liu Congguang said to the guard.

"Yes, sir! Just now, the big housekeeper of the 'Shu Jin family' in the Bianliang mansion went to Kaifeng Mansion to report the case, and the young master of his family, Sun Cong, died violently in his room for some reason, and sent someone to inform you. The guard replied respectfully.

"When did you die violently?" Liu Congguang regained his calm complexion.

"The Kaifeng Mansion has found out that the time of Sun Shaozhu's death was about four watches, and his face was calm when he died, without any discoloration." The guard replied.

"Why did you die on the fourth watch today, and now you know about it?" Liu Congguang asked.

"According to the big housekeeper, he thought that the young master of his family was asleep, because he did not send someone into the house to wake him up, after noon, the young master Sun did not wake up, he felt puzzled, so that people to call, Fang Jue was wrong, because his face was as usual, the old housekeeper found a doctor, and knew that the young master of his family had been dead for a long time, and then hurriedly reported the case in Kaifeng Mansion."

"What about Lord Yin Chen of Kaifeng Mansion?" Liu Congguang asked.

"Lord Chen has already sent someone to investigate this matter, but if there is any news, the little one will definitely report it to the adult." The guard spoke methodically.

"You are now going to Lord Chen to learn the details of the situation, and someone will help Lord Chen to do your best to find out about this matter." Liu Congguang was a little annoyed, the young east of the Shu Jin family had not been coming to Bianliang for a long time, and this incident would definitely delay the sewing of the Queen Mother's birthday dress, and it would be necessary to find out quickly.

Seeing the puzzled eyes of Yin Ren and the others, Liu Congguang said, "The two young easterns, the grandson of the young master of the 'Shu Jin family', died violently in the early hours of this morning, and now the matter is unclear. ”

"My lord, please take care of it, if you need to use the two of us, please command." Yin Ren nodded.

"Let's disperse like this," Liu Congguang said and left the Huixian Building first.

Not far from the "Huixian Building", there is a "house hotel", because its outer façade is decorated like the house of the eunuch and gets the name, there are four or five pavilions inside, it is a small hotel that is not big, but it is quite distinctive.

In a slightly larger attic room, there are only three people, two of whom are drinking and one of them is sitting next to each other.

"Brother Yin, this hotel is the place where my secret guard is in contact, and you can come here for anything in the future." The ordinary man raised his glass to Yin Ren opposite.

"The deputy envoy is very thoughtful." Yin Ren smiled, then frowned slightly and asked, "Does the deputy envoy know what happened today?" ”

"Are you referring to the matter of the young master of the 'Shu Jin family', Sun Zicong?" The deputy envoy is naturally Zhao Xian.

"It's this matter, this matter has nothing to do with us, and we don't have to care. But Sun Zicong is a person who is related to the queen mother's dress, and I am afraid that outsiders will be suspicious of me and Lu Mu of 'Lu Ji Weaving'. ”

Zhao Xian looked at Zhao Yan who was sitting next to her, "What clues are there about this matter?" ”

"Master, Sun Zicong's death is very strange, and I am afraid that there is another hidden secret." Zhao Yan replied.

"Oh? What's the secret? Zhao Xian asked with interest.

"The Kaifeng Mansion has found that there is nothing unusual about Sun Zicong's death, but it seems that he had a happy relationship before his death, and according to the report of the chief housekeeper in his house, the young master of his family has never been to any place of fireworks, nor has he found a maid to sleep in the family." Zhao Yan told the story of the case that she knew about it.

"Have you ever found out where he was before he died?" Zhao Xian asked.

"Kaifeng Mansion has inquired about the servants of the Sun family and his attendants, and they all replied that they had never seen it." Zhao Yan replied.

"There is no abnormality in the appearance, it may not be that there is no abnormality in the body, but there has been an autopsy?" Zhao Xian thought for a moment and asked.

"I'm afraid that Kaifeng Mansion can't conduct an autopsy at will, and it must be approved by his family," Yin Ren interjected on the side.

"Yes, I'm confused, the housekeeper of the Sun family must have sent someone to inform the head of his family to come to Beijing, I'm afraid that the autopsy will also need to be obtained at that time, and now I can only check it from elsewhere." Zhao Xian said. "Even so, we will also send people to secretly investigate and visit."

"Yes, master!" Zhao Yan bowed his head and replied.
