Chapter 401: Green Peony on Yellow Background
After hearing the reason, Ouyang Kang glanced at a few children with a sinking face, and said to the dumb leper skin, "This brother, no matter what the matter is, this street is not the place to talk." Why don't you find a place to sit down and talk? ”
Can you refuse? But Leper Chen glanced at his full body again, and knew that this was definitely not something he could offend, so he had to nod obediently. In his heart, he shouted bad luck, why did he leave for a few years, and only when he returned to the capital did this kind of thing?
Turning his head and asking Luo Chang to go to the silk village to say to the two younger sisters, let them not come over first, here Ouyang Dashao gave some reward, sent the money away, found a teahouse, entered the room and sat alone, served a cup of tea, and then asked the leper Chen unhurriedly, "No matter who you are now, I only ask you, did you steal their things back then?" ”
Under his invisible momentum, Leper Chen only felt unstable standing there, as if he was stepping on countless steel nails, and finally admitted, "I stole those things back then, but there is nothing valuable ......"
Luo Wu's eyes reddened, "Then you still steal?" Give us something back! ”
Leper Chen was frightened, and said, "I didn't think it was useful at the time, so I ...... I threw it all away......"
"Bastard!" Luo Wu Luo Ming and the two pounced on him and punched and kicked, but Ouyang Kang didn't stop it, only waited for Leper Chen to be beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen before he said, "Okay, let him get up and speak." Let me ask you, is there really nothing of value? So how did you get developed? ”
Leper Chen cried and said with a sad face, "Actually, there is actually a valuable ......"
Luo Wu suddenly said, "Is it Luo Xiaoyan's jade?" ”
Ouyang Kang frowned. Luo Wu understood, the wall had ears, and he knew that he was speechless, so he took a step back and stopped talking.
Ouyang Kang then said, "What kind of jade is it, let's hear it?" ”
Leper Chen swallowed his saliva and said, "Yes...... It is a piece of jade with a yellow background, and there is a green flower in it, the size of an egg...... I later took it to a pawnshop in another place. and sold for twenty taels of silver. Just that little business. ”
Ouyang Kang's eyes were slightly cold, "Which pawnshop in that place?" ”
The pawnshop has always been the most cheating person, and the leper Chen is a beggar, if he is willing to pay twenty taels of silver even for a person like him. It can only prove that the jade is definitely worth a lot.
So. Luo Xiaoyan, who owns this piece of jade. What exactly will be the origin?
Leper Chen said truthfully, "Uncle, I brought that piece of jade to the pawnshop in Funan County to sell it." At that time, the guy surnamed Zhang who collected jade has now opened a Qinglong pawnshop in Liutiaofang City in Beijing. But when I looked for him, he wouldn't admit it. ”
That's black eating black.
Leper Chen has been in business for a few years, and gradually grew his horizons, only to realize that he had sold too much back then. But when I found the guy back then, he didn't admit it. He is now telling Ouyang Kang that he also wants him to seek justice. Even if he can't take advantage of this advantage, he doesn't want to kill others.
Of course, Ouyang Kang knew his intentions, but this matter was indeed worth verifying. He seems to have been to the Qinglong pawnshop and has some impressions.
After thinking about it for a while, borrowing pen and ink, Ouyang Kang drafted a confession, and asked this leper Chen to leave his new identity and address, and pressed his handprint. In this way, no matter what happens to him in the future, there will be personal and physical evidence.
Because he still had two younger sisters with him, Ouyang Kang sent them home first, and then took someone out to Qinglong Pawnshop again. To be able to do business in the capital, he must not be a general, and it will definitely not work for him to deal with Leper Chen, this is a tough battle, and a few children are not up to the problem at all, so he specially called Zhong Shan and a few other capable people to go over together.
Luo Wu came in with a bowed head and admitted his mistake, "Young Master, I was wrong. ”
Ouyang Kang glanced at him, "Then what are you doing wrong?" ”
Luo Wu snorted, "We shouldn't hide it from you. We...... It's mainly me, I'm afraid that if you know that we want to find our relatives, we think we have different intentions, and that's why ...... It's all my fault, punish me! ”
Ouyang Kang snorted coldly, "You are so righteous!" Is it because I'm reluctant to punish you? ”
Luo Wuse shrank back, not daring to answer.
Ouyang Kang suppressed his anger and said, "I can understand your thoughts, but you don't want to think about it, will this hurt our hearts?" Haven't I been good enough to you since you came here? I don't have a deed of sale, what can I do with you? I really doubt that the books you were taught to read and the truths you learned have gone! ”
Luo Wu scolded him so badly that he didn't have anything to say, so he knelt down for him directly.
Ouyang Kang glanced at him, "Kneel down to the sky and kneel down to the ancestors, I'm not someone from you, I can't afford to kneel down to you!" Think about it yourself, I can forgive you this time, but I won't forgive you every time, I hope you don't let me down again! ”
He lifted his feet and left, Luo Wu was still kneeling there, even if others pulled him up, he refused.
He wants to punish himself in this way, and he also wants to force himself to think about it in this way.
Ouyang Kang's words slammed into his heart, and for a moment, he thought of many things that he hadn't thought about or noticed before.
It's been so long since he broke the garden, does he really regard this place as his home? Do you really treat the people here as family?
Undoubtedly, the answer to both questions should be yes.
When the accident happened in the broken garden, when they were arrested and entered the palace, none of them wanted to leave here.
can live and die together, but why would he choose to hide it in this matter?
Is it just because he is afraid that Ouyang Kang will be unhappy if he finds out, and he will not wait to see them? But think about it the other way, if you adopt such a group of people who have nothing to do with each other, and they do such a thing behind their backs, will you feel chilled?
Luo Wu suddenly understood why Ouyang Kang was so angry.
Because this incident shows that he lacks a fundamental trust in him. On the one hand, he accepted Ouyang Kang's favor, but on the other hand, he was very resistant to this favor.
From the bottom of his heart, he longed for him to find a stronger family member who could repay Ouyang Kang. But. Does Ouyang Kang want to give them something in return? Did he think about asking them in return?
The answer is undoubtedly no.
So why do they have to reciprocate? After the return, can you be at ease and not take the past favors seriously?
Luo Wu remembered that Nianfu smiled brightly when he saw the mushrooms he brought out of the cave for the first time, and suddenly, he understood.
He knew that his words and deeds would directly affect the thirteen little beggars who came with him, so after thinking it through, he stood up, patted the dust on his body, and called the twelve children for a meeting.
"What I'm telling you is. Don't be blessed here. I forced myself to repay it. As long as we are good people and truly regard this place as our home, and the people here as our family, in the future. When we have the ability. to help those in need. It's the biggest reward here......"
At this time, the young man would not have thought that his understanding would affect many people in the future.
About an hour later. Ouyang Kang came back with someone.
To the children's disappointment, they didn't find any useful clues.
Luo Xiaoyan obediently stepped forward and took Ouyang Kang's hand, gesturing to tell him that he didn't care at all. Ouyang Kang touched his head and smiled gently.
But when the children left, there was a solemnity in the eyes he and Zhong Shan exchanged with each other.
In such a short period of time, not only the boss of the Qinglong pawnshop, but even the leper Chen disappeared inexplicably!
Ouyang Kang suspected that it was someone who was secretly following him who did it, but who was it?
※
In the secret room of Ruyiju, the lights were brilliant, and the two bloodstained people on the scaffolding were particularly terrifying. Looking closely, the two dying people are the missing leper Chen and Qinglong pawnshop bosses!
The chief steward sighed on the side, "I really didn't expect that the person we have been looking for for so long has always been in the capital, right under our noses." If it weren't for the uncle's clever calculation, he would have arranged for someone to keep an eye on Ouyang Kang's kid, and he wouldn't have been able to find out such an important matter. ”
Chai Rong turned the wrench in his hand, and he was also surprised by the news he had just heard.
He sent people to follow Ouyang Kang, of course, for a purpose. He has never been a person who gives up easily, although Mu Shaoqin has already chosen a candidate for the county horse, but as long as Nianfu does not marry for a day, he will not let go.
I didn't expect that he hadn't caught Ouyang Kang's handle yet, but he gave him such a big surprise.
In that year, when Gao Xian invaded the capital, one of the young sons of Emperor Zhou Ai was exiled to the people in the chaos. The child had a piece of beautiful jade, the jade was yellow, and there was a naturally formed green flower in it, which was very similar to the famous green peony in the chrysanthemum, which was extremely precious.
When Emperor Zhou Ai's entire clan was wiped out, the child became the most legitimate heir of the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, several people wanted to catch the child and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but instead let the old palace maid with the child escape several times.
Once, Chai Rong's people almost caught the old palace maid, but in the end they let her run away, and even the child lost his news.
If what Leper Chen and the shopkeeper said was true, then most of the old palace maid died in the run, otherwise she would not have thrown the child into the beggars.
Chai Rong thought for a while, "That kid's name is Luo Xiaoyan, right?" ”
"Yes. That's the name that the man sent to hear, but he said that Ouyang Kang seemed to have spotted him. Next, do you want to follow? ”
Chai Rong chuckled, "Follow." Why don't you follow? Just let him be suspicious. But let the people who follow them be smart, if they are caught, they know how to do it. ”
"Yes." The chief steward's face revealed a ruthlessness, "If they are caught, it can only be blamed for their lack of skill, and it is in vain that Uncle has raised them for so many years." Then these two people are useless, why don't you also arrange them and send them on the road? ”
Chai Rong didn't answer, only got up and shook his head and sighed, "That's why I often say that ill-gotten wealth can't be made, and sooner or later there will be retribution." But they have lived a good life in the past few years, and they are not wronged. ”
The chief steward knew what to do.
"Luo Xiaoyan, Ouyang Kang."
Back in the room, Chai Rong tapped his fingers on the table, muttering the names of the two people. Suddenly, he chuckled, squinting at a flash of sharp light.
