A one-person-tall jade statue of Guanyin was sent into Xi Yunzhi's north and south shops.

The acting shopkeeper saw that the escorts were all Imperial Forest soldiers wearing yellow coats, so he sent someone to the general's mansion and reported it to Xi Yunzhi.

Xi Yunzhi hurried to the store, only to see that the eunuch at the head was a little familiar, and when he saw Xi Yunzhi, he walked over with a shy smile, and beat Qian'er as he walked:

"Slave Liu Chao greets his wife."

The name Liu Chao, Xi Yunzhi knows, the emperor's personal eunuch, looked at his face, it seems that it is really him, even if he politely raised his hand to him:

"Father-in-law doesn't have to be polite, I don't know what my father-in-law meant by sending this jade statue to my store?"

Liu Chao has been a eunuch for many years, and his behavior is completely feminine, cocking his orchid fingers, pointing at Guanyin to Xi Yunzhi and saying:

"Oh, the emperor said, since Mrs. is a knowledgeable person, then this Guanyin will be given to Mrs., if you can't sell it, you can do a favor, and if you can sell it, you can save some losses for the emperor."

"......" Although Xi Yunzhi was laughing on the surface, he was speechless about the emperor's behavior in his heart.

After Liu Chao personally told Xi Yunzhi what the emperor meant, he withdrew the Imperial Forest Army and left the jade statue of Guanyin in Xi Yunzhi's shop.

The shopkeeper came up and asked, "Shopkeeper, this thing was given by the emperor?" But how did I see this Bodhisattva in Qingshi Street before, it was those people on Qingshi Street who specially put together a layman. It's not worth any money. ”

After Xi Yunzhi circled the jade statue of Guanyin twice, he thoughtfully replied to the shopkeeper: "Regardless of the insiders and laymen, this is the emperor's dry stock, ask people to lift up and put things in the most conspicuous position." ”

Since the emperor wants to recover the loss, then she will help him recover a big one.

As he was talking, a man who looked like an officer and soldier hurriedly ran in, and when he saw Xi Yunzhi, he said:

"Madam, something is wrong, my lord has been ambushed by assassins."

"What?"

After Xi Yunzhi learned the news of Bu Tan's assassination, she almost rushed back to the general's mansion, and saw that there were many more officers and soldiers in the mansion, and her heart fluttered in the air, until she saw Zhao Yi and Han Feng standing in the courtyard and talking to the heads of those officers and soldiers.

When Han Feng saw her rushing back, he stepped forward and said:

"Madam, you are not injured, don't worry."

Xi Yunzhi listened to Han Feng's words, his heart fell halfway, Bu Qin heard Han Feng's voice calling his wife, and he also walked out of the inside, the official robe on his body was torn in a few places, and his hair bun was a little messy, but there was really no trace of injury.

Xi Yunzhi trotted up to him, and while carefully inspecting, he asked:

"What's going on? How could you suddenly encounter an Assassin? ”

Seeing that she was nervous, Bu Qin couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I haven't paid attention to those assassins yet, and they can't hurt me." ”

Xi Yunzhi wanted to ask again, but when he saw Han Feng and the others coming over, he said to Bu Qin:

"Master, just now Lord Yan caught a few live mouths, one of them is Qin Jian, the son of the former prosecutor, he must not accept the sentence of the Criminal Department, so he will find a killer to attack the master."

Xi Yunzhi usually doesn't participate in the discussion of such major events, but this time it is related to her husband's safety, and she can't help but ask a few more words:

"Then there are fish that slipped through the net, will they come back? Do you want to add more guards around you? ”

Han Feng didn't know what to say when asked by Xi Yunzhi, but Zhao Yi couldn't help it:

"Madam, how could those rotten sweet potatoes hurt our master, a few more guards will only cause trouble for our master."

Zhao Yi said, and glanced at the officers and soldiers next to him who looked ashamed, because if it weren't for a few of his subordinates who wanted to save him, there would never be a fish that slipped through the net or anything in the hands of their master.

Bu Qin saw that Xi Yunzhi was still worried, so he didn't want to continue the topic, and directly made an order:

"Okay, hand over Qin Jian to the Criminal Department for investigation, let all the officials involved in the case at all levels be careful, and send more people to follow in and out, this matter will be revealed, go ahead."

The officers and soldiers received orders and withdrew from the general's palace.

Xi Yunzhi pulled Bu Qin back to the room, fetched water to scrub his body, and by the way checked whether he was really not injured.

"Why did those people assassinate you?" Xi Yunzhi asked while taking off Bu Qin's dirty clothes.

Bu Qin also cooperated with her, loosened the scattered bun, and said: "I am the chief judge, Qin Heng was sentenced to be beheaded at noon, and his family was not convinced. ”

Xi Yunzhi wrung out the towel, came over to wipe Bu Tan, and asked worriedly: "As long as you are still in the Criminal Department, won't there be more such things in the future?" ”

Bu Qin didn't speak, which means that he acquiesced.

Seeing Xi Yunzhi's sullen and almost crying expression, Bu Qin picked up her face and kissed her on the lips before saying, "Don't worry." Your husband and I are the general who led the troops to kill the enemy, and I have broken through thousands of troops and horses, and this level of assassination is not in the way. ”

Although she was assured by Bu Tan, Xi Yunzhi still felt flustered, but she also understood that this was what her husband was doing now, and she couldn't interfere more.

After changing him into clean clothes, and being comforted by him in his arms for a while, Xi Yunzhi broke into laughter, let Qin laugh, and became a mother, but he became more and more crying.

Xi Yunzhi was embarrassed.

***

On the second day of Bu Qin's assassination, the emperor issued a holy decree to the Criminal Department, saying that the Qin family must be severely punished.

When Xi Yunzhi came back from the shop that day, he heard that Xi Zheng was meeting guests in the flower hall, and asked who the visitor was, and the porter Lao Lu told her that he was also an adult.

Since he was a friend of his father's court, Xi Yunzhi didn't plan to pay attention to it, and was about to go back to the room to change his clothes, but he didn't expect Xi Zheng to lead a person around the corridor at home, and when he saw Xi Yunzhi passing by, Xi Zheng called out to her.

Xi Yunzhi took a closer look, and saw that the adult invited back by her father was not someone else, it was Gu Ran, who had a suspicious identity, and after both nodded her head to salute, she pulled Xi Zheng aside and asked softly:

"Dad, the matter hasn't been decided yet, why did you bring people back?"

Xi Zheng saw that his daughter was nervous, so he also explained in a low voice: "I just wanted to confirm that I brought him back, so you don't care, go back first." ”

“……”

Xi Yunzhi felt a little headache about her father's eagerness to recognize her relatives, but Xiao Hei hadn't come back from the northwest yet, Gu Ran's identity couldn't be confirmed, and she didn't interfere too much, so she went with him. Anyway, she felt from the bottom of her heart that Gu Ran would not be her younger brother Xi Yunran.

She is three years older than Yun Ran, Yun Ran is introverted, she only likes to stick to her sister, she bathes him a lot and changes diapers, and the feeling of blood connection cannot be felt in the people next to her. Although they haven't seen each other for more than ten years, she believes that the tacit warmth between sisters and brothers will never disappear like this.

But if Xiao Hei comes back and confirms Gu Ran's life experience, then ...... I have to think about it again.

***

Xi Yunzhi was settling accounts in the store, and came over to discuss things with her on behalf of the shopkeeper:

"Shopkeeper, this jade statue of Guanyin is too eye-catching here, if this thing is genuine, it will be fine, but this can't hide the eyes of connoisseurs at all, and it is a bit of a self-smashing signboard."

What the shopkeeper said is also true, in a store specializing in selling genuine goods, there is such a fake that is obviously from Qingshi Street, which is really not like words, but the emperor ......

Seeing that Xi Yunzhi was still hesitating, the shopkeeper said again: "Don't say it's 500,000 taels, I won't buy it even if it's 50,000 taels." ”

Sighing, putting down the action of counting the accounts, Xi Yunzhi lowered his head and thought about it, Xi waved to the shopkeeper and said:

"You go to the general's mansion to find Lao Lu, and ask him to arrange a few officers and soldiers to go to Qingshi Street with you for a turn, and say that the emperor bought a jade carving Guanyin back to the palace a few days ago, and was pointed out that it was a fake.

The acting shopkeeper listened in a daze, and his face was full of doubts: "Madam, let's just go, can people believe it?" ”

"Believe it or not, you'll find out if you try."

After Xi Yunzhi finished speaking, he continued to bury his head in the accounting, and rushed to the general's mansion on behalf of the shopkeeper in disbelief.

Two days later, Xi Yunzhi was teaching Xiao An to write in the backyard, and the shopkeeper ran in happily, pointed outside and said to her:

"Shopkeeper, you go out to see, several craftsmen and shopkeepers on Qingshi Street have come to our store to see the jade carving Guanyin, and they are looking at which method it is."

Xi Yunzhi smiled: "Let them continue to distinguish, and then call me after identifying the results." ”

"Hey."

Not long after the shopkeeper went out, he came in again and called her: "The shopkeeper, I have found the craftsman." They're going to buy things back. ”

Xi Yunzhi handed Xiao An to the nurse, wiped his hands and walked to the water tank, hooked his lips and said, "Okay, then sell it to them, one million taels." ”

It hasn't been a year or two since those people on Qingshi Street have been trading fakes, and this time they hit the muzzle of the gun, Xi Yunzhi has no reason to indulge them, and it is good to teach them a lesson, so that when they deceive people in the future, they can remember this lesson and take it easy.

***

Liu Ma followed Xi Yunzhi from Luoyang to the capital, and then followed from Lanfuyuan to the General's Mansion, which is regarded as the elder of the Three Dynasties in the Mansion, and has her own status in the General's Mansion.

When Xi Yunzhi told her about the cook Sanfu, Liu's mother was monitoring her for Xi Yunzhi openly and secretly, until this day, when Sanfu sneakily walked to the back door, she was intercepted by Liu's mother on the spot, and even the people and things were twisted in front of Xi Yunzhi.

Xi Yunzhi asked people to close the door of the hall, leaving only Liu Ma and Ruyi Ruyue to wait.

"Madam, you are generous to everyone in the house, but this cheap and maid is not enough, and he actually steals the things of the master's house."

Sanfu shouted that he was wronged: "Madame Mingjian, although the old slave has no money, he will not do the evil act of stealing the master's things, please Madame Ming." ”

Xi Yunzhi sat on the top and drank tea leisurely, without speaking, but Liu's mother was very powerful, and kicked Sanfu with a kick, making her fall to the ground, Liu's mother pounced on her and found a small package on her, and said to Sanfu: "Still say no, what is this?" ”

Sanfu looked at the things, pointed at Liu's mother in disbelief, and said, "This is what you gave me a few days ago, how could it be that I stole it?" You woman has such a poisonous mouth and a ruthless heart. ”

Mother Liu didn't care what Sanfu said, she presented the things to Xi Yunzhi, and Sanfu climbed up to Xi Yunzhi in twos and threes, and cried loudly:

"Madam, I didn't steal it, it was given to me by that person a few days ago, and she said that she wanted to marry Sister Cam Ranh with me, so I accepted it. I didn't steal it. ”

Xi Yunzhi opened the small package if there was something to do, took out a pair of pearl earrings from it, and said, "This thing was given to me by the general, how could Mother Liu take it to you?" Nonsense! ”

Xi Yunzhi's face suddenly changed, and he slapped it on the case, his words were full of favoritism for Liu's mother, Sanfu knew that he was in their way, and immediately knelt on the ground with a bitter face.

Seeing her like this, Xi Yunzhi said again:

"Your old man is suffering from lung fever, if he doesn't have the money to grab medicine to continue his life, he won't survive this winter, Princess Jing is just a loser, how much money can you get for helping her frame the master's family?"

As soon as Sanfu heard Xi Yunzhi speak, he said the crux of the matter, and he was surprised and finally understood why she was framed today, and immediately refreshed his mind, and cried with tears:

"Madame...... I left the palace at the age of twenty-five, married an honest man, satisfied, I couldn't give birth to a child, and now he is the only one left who is willing to accompany me, how can I watch the old man leave me. Princess Jing just asked me to tell her everything that happened in the house, and I, I didn't do anything to hurt the master's family. Madam, I was wrong, I was confused for a while, confused for a while. ”

Xi Yunzhi looked at her, still cold-faced:

"Just tell her about the things in the house? Didn't do anything else? ”

Sanfu shook his head again and again, took out a note from his hair, handed it to Xi Yunzhi tremblingly, and said, "She asked me to write down the affairs of the house every three or five days and hand it over through the back door, I really didn't do anything else." ”

Mother Liu pointed at her and shouted, "You betrayed the master's family, isn't this a problem?" ”

Sanfu couldn't cry, it seemed that he really cared about her old man who was lingering on the sickbed, Xi Yunzhi read the note, put it aside, waved his hand to Ruyi, and Ruyi handed Sanfu a brocade bag.

"Here are ten taels of gold, enough for your old man to see a doctor. is still the same sentence, Princess Jing is just a loss of power, she can't even guarantee her own life, how to guarantee the bounty for you, the General's Mansion is in full swing, I treat people well, you think about it yourself, which side should you stand on? ”

Sanfu took the gold and forgot to cry. After a long time, he kowtowed to Xi Yunzhi gratefully.

Xi Yunzhi waved at her and asked her to continue to deliver the news to Princess Jing, but after each time the message was written, she had to give her a look before she could send it.

Sanfu was already so frightened that the seven souls came out of the sheath, and he was so convinced of Xi Yunzhi, he nodded again and again in agreement.
