Chapter 295: Tracing the Origin
Of course, Duan Yi didn't want the lives of the Zhen family, and kept them just to leave some chips. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhen Wangnan has already released cruel words to him, so he must react, at least so that the other party will not dare to run to alarm the government easily.
Last time, Duan Lianqing and Miao Luhou said that they were going to the southwest city to investigate the Tang family, but after they came back, they said that they had met the jade carving master by chance and invited someone to come over to screen the flying phoenix jade pendant. After Duan Lianqing and the others came back, he sent two other people to the Southwest City to check the details of the Tang family and the Zhen family. On the one hand, he gave them courtesy because of the relationship between the saints, and on the other hand, he wanted to stabilize them, so that only those who stayed there would be easier to do. Calculate the time, the two people sent over there should return to Huolan City in about time, at least let the people of the Zhen family stay until those two people come back, and he will decide after hearing the news they have heard.
The little black bow that Mo Song took out was really sharp, and the string was put on the side of the jade pendant, and he didn't see him exerting force, he pulled it back and forth lightly, and the jade pendant was disconnected from the place where the string touched. The people present watched Mo Song's movements intently, and saw that after the jade pendant was disconnected, they all felt a burst of toothache, and felt a chill at the joints of their fingers.
After Mo Song properly put the small bow into his wooden box, the broken jade pendant had already been taken by Liu Jie and Ge Huairen to study it carefully. After looking at it for a while, both of them frowned. After Mo Song received the things, Liu and Ge beckoned him to come over, showed him the jade pendant in his hand, and whispered something in his ear. The sound of their discussion was extremely low, except for Song Chen, who was on the roof, and no one else present could hear what they were discussing.
But everyone present paid attention to their expressions, and when Duan Yi first saw Ge Huairen and Liu Jie frowning, his first reaction was to think that they had found out that they had looked away before, and this piece of jade Gu was real? Originally, he subconsciously wanted to ask the result, but after thinking about it, he still had confidence in the three jade carving masters of Dalan. And this thing has been cut, and it won't be long before they discuss it, so he'd better wait patiently! Not only that, but he also motioned to Duan Lianqing not to speak.
Although Zhen Wangnan used to live far away in Haiguo, Dalan's jade carving masters are world-famous, especially Haiguo people have always loved to collect Dalan's treasures, and the works of these three are extremely popular, and he certainly knows them. In fact, when Miao Luhou introduced their identities, his heart had already sunk, so he tried his best to prevent them from cutting jade. Because their Zhen family was the richest family in the entire Sea Country earlier, and they also owned a lot of gems and treasures, he also had some eye for discerning beautiful jade. If it weren't for the fact that he knew the inside story, just from the appearance, he felt that this jade pendant had been impeccable. But this jade can be used on the surface, but the texture inside cannot be faked. Seeing Mo Song cut off the jade, his heart was in his throat, if he hadn't seen Miao Luhou quietly let people guard the door after getting Duan Yi's orders, and he was not sure to break out, he would have pulled Tang Miaoyin and Zhen Lihua out of the door. However, seeing that they began to frown, Zhen Wangnan's heart couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope - could it be that those people were so capable that they really found this jade phoenix carved from an ancient jade? Or is it that their aging process is already so powerful that even the internal texture can be transformed into the texture of old jade?
However, Liu Jie's immediate opening immediately broke Zhen Wangnan's delusion: "This jade pendant does come from the best jade...... However, looking at the texture, it is only out of the pit for three to five years at most, and it is indeed made of new jade carved and then aged - it is definitely not an ancient jade that has been circulating in human hands for more than 200 years! β
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes that were originally focused on Liu Jie and the three of them immediately shifted to the Zhen family, especially Zhen Lihua.
Duan Lianqing sneered at Zhen Lihua, who had been trying to recapture the jade pendant in front of her, but had quietly retreated to Zhen Wangnan and Tang Miaoyin's side unconsciously: "Zhen Lihua, what else do you have to say?" β
Zhen Lihua did not answer.
"Mama Tangβ" Duan Yi looked at Mama Tang with a frightened expression, "Do you have anything to say?" β
"Wronged! I've been deceived, too! "Mama Tang was already like a frightened bird, but when Duan Yi said this, her legs were so weak that she sat down on the ground, crying," Sect Leader Mingjian. The old body has never said a half-word, and if there is, it is because I have been deceived and made it, and it is not what I want......"
"Oh?" Duan Yi said very few words, but his face showed a question of how he could see it.
"That's right...... After the events of that year, I got separated from the others, and when I saw that I was nowhere to be seen, I went back to my old hometown. The country was uninformed, and I had no idea what was going on, and there was no doubt about my statement that I was working for a foreigner in a foreign country and was graced to let me back. Originally, I was going to say nothing about the past, so I followed my family to the end of my life......"
"However, at the beginning of the year, one day when I went to the city to sell embroidery, I heard the people in front of me discussing what kind of superb jade phoenix, so I took a random look, but I didn't expect to see this piece of jade pendant on Miss Zhen's waist!" Mama Tang pointed to Mo Song's hand, "It's been more than ten years, but I still have an impression of the jade pendant, this piece looks really the same as the previous one!" As you know, Sect Master, I was born in a country family, and although I entered the ...... After entering the city, he can be regarded as having gained some knowledge, but how can he recognize the truth and falsehood of these jades? And, even back then, I didn't play with that jade pendant with my own hands-"
"Then you said that you can confirm that this jade pendant is the one back then?" Duan Lianqing stared at Mama Tang's eyes, and she felt that she might still be lying.
"Young Sect Master, do you know-" Mama Tang sighed, by this time she was no longer as frightened as she had just sat down on the ground, she touched it casually, pulled over a chair and stood up tremblingly, sat down and slowed down, she continued, "I went out to work as a nurse in a big family before, the reason was because my family was poor, although I also took advantage of the chaos to take some silver away before I got separated, but after returning home, I quickly subsidized it. I have no children, since my father and mother died, I have lived with my eldest brother's family, and now the situation is getting worse, my eldest brother is better, but my sister-in-law ...... I have always been worried that I will have no one to support me when I am old, so when my eyes are already bad, I embroider some handkerchiefs with simple patterns and sell them to earn some pension money. In this time when the mountains are almost exhausted, if there is such an opportunity in front of them, who doesn't want to seize it? β
"After I saw the jade pendant, I unconsciously followed it for a while, and then I heard the two people before discussing that I didn't know if this was the person they were looking for. One said that he should report it to the sect leader immediately, and the other said that he should be cautious, because the sect leader wants to take people back and take good care of them, and if something goes wrong, the sect leader will ask for guilt. As soon as I heard the words "take it back", I was immediately intrigued. If I use that capacity to stay by Miss Zhen's side, then I will surely be taken back to take good care of the elderly, right? So, I peeked at an opportunity, so I quietly followed Miss Zhen back and told her about the events of the year...... Miss Zhen did act ignorant at the time, she said that her parents were dead, and she had no relatives and no care, and I only learned about Miss Zhen's true background after this Master Zhen came over. But at this time, of course, I still have to stand with her and listen to her instructions, or I will be driven away by you......"
Duan Yi frowned: "According to what you say, it seems that someone guided you in the process of recognizing Miss Zhen?" Do you remember what those two people looked like? β
"The old body always thought that those two people were also sent by ......the sect leader to find Miss Zhen," Mama Tang bowed her head and said, "Maybe I was too excited because I found another way out at that time, so now I have to think back to the scene at that time is not very clear." β
Hearing Mama Tang say this, Duan Yi and the others had no choice but to do it. However, Song Chen on the roof was in a bright heart, listening to Mama Tang say this, it should be that she had unknowingly fallen for Zhen Lihua's illusion when she was on the street. The scene where she followed them after that may not have happened in reality, but was instilled into her mind by Zhen Lihua through illusion. So when she had to recall the details of that time, she realized that she couldn't remember it very much.
This is even more proof that there is something else going on in the matter, and it is not as simple as it appears on the surface.
"That-" Duan Yi's gaze turned to Zhen Lihua.
"I can only tell the sect leader that this jade pendant is indeed the one that Lihua has brought with her since she was a child, at least it is not the one you are looking for, I also said it before, we are not sure-" Tang Miaoyin interrupted Duan Yi's words, "Bringing Lihua back is not her own request, you have always taken the initiative to do it." In the final analysis, all the mistakes you have made are your own making, and if you find that there seems to be a problem in it, you will blame us entirely. β
"No, the jade used in this jade pendant will be out of the pit for five years at most!" At this time, after Ge Huairen interjected, he looked at Zhen Lihua, "With Miss Zhen's age, it can't be that she has been with her since she was a child!" β
"Since Miss Zhen, you are unwilling to tell the truth...... Then we'll have to keep the three for the time being, until we get the thing out to the point. Duan Yi glanced at Miao Luhou, "The three of them will be arranged in the mansion so that they can be taken care of." "The house that was arranged for Zhen Lihua before is some distance away from Duan's Mansion, and there is no problem with those manpower to take care of people, but it is a little difficult to use it to watch people. The Duan Mansion was fully staffed, which made it convenient for him to observe and interrogate them, and it could prevent them from having other accomplices waiting for an opportunity to rescue them. Either way, at least wait until the people he sent out come back before deciding what to do with them. Otherwise, let them go at this time, and they may have to meet again in the government mansion the next moment.
"Miss Duan, I think we have also seen this jade, and the conclusion has been made, there should be nothing to do with us after that?" Mo Song stood up with his wooden box.
Ge Huairen and Liu Jie also stood up, Song Chen told them not to be nosy, at this time they should leave, and they didn't want to hear something deeper: "We still have a lot of things in our hands, why don't we leave here?" β
"How can this be?" Duan Yi hurriedly kept them, "The three of them rushed over to help, and they have already ordered someone to arrange a banquet to entertain them!" β
"No need! No need! Liu Jie waved his hand and politely refused, "The sect leader is busy today, let's do this first!" It's not too late to sit down and have a drink another day if you have the chance. β
Liu Jie's words sounded gentle but could not be refused, and Duan Yi didn't dare to force him to stay, so he had to accept: "Then I'll send you-"
"No need, there is a carriage waiting outside our house, just send someone to take us out!" Liu Jie still waved his hand.
"Then I'll send the three masters." Duan Lianqing immediately had a very discerning eye.
Liu Jie nodded as expected.
Duan Yi had something in his heart, and when he saw this, he no longer dwelled on this matter, bowed to them and thanked them, and said goodbye in the council hall.
When he left the gate, he saw that the carriage had arrived at the door and was waiting. Mo Song and the three of them said goodbye to Duan Lianqing, and after getting into the carriage, they saw that Song Chen was already sitting in the car.
Song Chen first worked the three of them, and then his brows furrowed a little: "I heard the three of them say that that jade belongs to the unique variety of the big jade mine newly discovered in the Eagle Kingdom five years ago?" He didn't ask the three of them if they were sure, because he knew that these three people knew the provenance of all the jade in the world, and after they were sure, there would be no mistake.
"That's right, we were about to mention this to the little prince." Ge Huairen nodded, "In fact, the reason why this jade can be accurate to three to five years is that we are also clever. Because we can all see that this jade is a unique variety of the Eagle Country's mine, and their jade mine was only discovered five years ago, and we also derive inferences from this. β
"It's hard work! I'll send you backβ" Song Chen stopped mentioning the matter of jade.
"No need, we brought our entourage, and we can go back separately." Liu Jie stroked his beard and said, "Xiao Wang doesn't have to be so polite, go back and prepare for family affairs!" In the first month, when we arrive at Selangor City to drink your wedding wine, we will get together again! "When Song Chen sent the wedding post, these three and Master Mo Kui were all among the banquets.
Song Chen didn't squirm, and sent the three of them back to the inn to meet with the entourage they left behind, and had lunch together, then he said goodbye to them and embarked on the return journey back to Selangora City.
