Shangshu of the Criminal Department motioned to the officials to open the lids, and saw that the first nine boxes contained jade, some of the jade in the boxes were dull, some of the boxes were full of jade, and there was even a watermelon-sized jade that was extremely green and exuded a soft and intense light. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When they saw this watermelon jade, everyone gasped in unison.

This is a green jade, a very cherished jade, it is rare to see such a large raw jade, just the size of this watermelon, I am afraid it will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Zhou Tingyu spoke out at the right time, "I said, everyone take the leper away, this is my thing." ”

Many officials reflexively wiped the corners of their mouths.

The crowd looked at the three chests in the back.

In those three boxes, there were all stones, and in such a large box, there were five or six stones that looked like winter melons, and there were even big stones like pumpkins, and these stones added up to more than a dozen.

No wonder the first nine boxes were filled with jade.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department walked down, circled around the twelve boxes, and asked the two officials who had seen the ore just now to step forward and point to the three boxes and let them see if there was any mark of the Zhao family.

After the two officials said that each stone had the mark of the Zhao family, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department looked at Zhao Youde.

"Master Zhao, these are all stones of your Zhao family."

Zhao Youde's face was a little dazed, "Yes, they are all stones of my Zhao family." ”

"Then why don't you tell me what's going on?"

Zhao Youde shook his head blankly, "The grass people don't know what the hell is going on. ”

"What else can I say? These are the stones thrown by the Zhao family's caravan, all in the hands of the King of Chu, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu was still in the border city at that time, doesn't this explain the problem? ”

Old man Liao snatched the white and looked at Zhou Tingyu angrily, as if he had to sentence him to the law immediately before he stopped.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department didn't care about Old Man Liao's robbery, and asked Zhou Tingyu instead, "Your Highness, are these stones and jade yours?" ”

Zhou Tingyu was bending down to look at the watermelon-sized emerald, and he was thinking about how many sets of jewelry he could make, one set for Hua'er, one set for the queen's mother, one set for the mother, one set for Xiao Deyin, and one set for his grandmother.

Hearing Shangshu's question, he replied casually: "Yes, these things are mine." ”

I thought that the king of Chu would deny it, but I didn't expect people to admit it without even thinking about it.

Zhou Tingyu withdrew his gaze from the emerald, straightened up, looked up at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and slowly arranged his sleeves, which really made people feel a little arrogant,

"What if it's mine? Who said that these things are mine, and the casualties of the Zhao family's caravan were done by me? I bought these things for money, so do you have to ask if they are stolen goods before you buy them?

Even if it's really stolen goods, will the person who sold them tell the truth? Are you stupid, or do you take the people who sell things for fools? ”

Zhou Tingyu at this moment was really the boss who was not polite, and the people who believed in Old Man Liao were sarcastic.

Hearing Zhou Tingyu say that he bought these things with money, Zhao Youde was happy again, since he bought them, it was a misunderstanding, so that things would not make a big fuss.

Zhao Youde couldn't care about where Zhou Tingyu went to buy so many stones, as long as this matter ended here.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department was not angry, and asked again: "Your Highness, you said that you bought these things, so do you have any certificates?" ”

"Huh, what I'm saying now is unbelievable?"

Zhou Tingyu laughed at himself and instructed Qing Fan, "Take out the purchased slips and show them to the adults." ”

Qing Fan took out a slip from his sleeve and handed it to the Criminal Department Shangshu.

This slip reads that on April 21, the 37th year of Yu Xiping, the two sides traded 36 boxes of stones, valued at 3,000 taels of silver, and the money and goods were cleared.

There is also a man's fingerprint underneath.

Zhou Tingyu said lightly: "Adults won't think that I made this strip myself, and even the finger prints were pressed by someone else, right?" ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department glanced at the note, handed it to the Imperial Doctor, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is serious, this official doesn't mean this." ”

Zhou Tingyu glanced at Old Man Liao, "You don't mean this, it doesn't mean that some people don't have this idea." ”

Old man Liao had already rushed to the side of the imperial doctor to look at the note, and after reading the note, he really had this idea, but he was broken by Zhou Tingyu, and his face was a little sneering.

The strip was passed all over again, and even the two courtiers read it, and was finally taken back by Qingfan.

Zhou Tingyu looked at Old Man Liao, "Lord Liao, what do you say about this?" ”

Old man Liao frowned, speechless for a while.

The ink on this strip has been dry for a while, it can't be that Zhou Tingyu knew that Old Man Liao would participate in him from the beginning, and then prepared such a strip in advance, right?

If you know that this scene was jointly directed by Zhou Tingyu and Old Man Liao, it is not difficult to guess whether this is true or false.

However, Dali Siqing asked: "Your Highness, you said that you bought it back, where did you buy it?" What about the guy who sold you something? And who? Where are you now? ”

Dali Siqing's words made Old Man Liao's eyes light up, and he looked at Zhou Tingyu, waiting for his answer.

Zhou Tingyu put his hands behind his back and said idly: "I bought it near the border city, I was in a bad mood at that time, and I went out with people, and I met two people, with a carriage, and when I met me, I stopped and asked them where they came from, where they were going, and what was on the car."

Since I was still at war with the Turks, I naturally wanted to ask someone who was suspicious. Then the men said that the cart was filled with stones of little value, and that they had bought them from a caravan, and the caravan man told him that there was jade in the stones, and that they had bought them because they were cheap.

When the money was paid, the caravan was gone, leaving only a chariot, and they felt that they had been deceived.

Besides, they didn't have so many men to drive the carriages back, because they were business partners, and they were not at ease with each other, fearing that when one of them left to find someone to transport the carriage, the other would go with the carriage directly.

When they saw me, they tentatively asked me if I would be interested in buying these stones. It's just a matter of three thousand taels of silver, so I bought it, and when the class master returned to the court, he brought it back and asked the people of the Baxi Treasure Pavilion to open the jade inside for me.

If the two knew that there was a green in the stone, they would definitely regret that their intestines would be blue. ”
