Zhang Hongji couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Liu Min asking where He Huanhuan was; Stunned, he stared at Liu Min in a daze.

I saw that she was dressed in a black robe and wore a top and a snatched head; There are pairs of two-wheeled glasses on the eye sockets, which are no different from my own glasses.

The jade tree is in the wind, dignified signs, calm demeanor, free to talk, fairy wind bones, extraordinary bearing, and the heart is guilty.

Zhang Hongji muttered for a while, and did not answer Liu Min's question "Where is the soldier named He Huanhuan who broke his leg by the carriage", but asked Gong Mei, who bowed his head and polished silverware, and said, "Master, who is this descendant!" ”

Gong Mei saw that Zhang Hongji was asking strangely, and suddenly had an idea: "Brother is asking this brother below?" ”

Gong Mei said and listened to the small hammer in her hand, glanced at Liu Min a few times, and said: "He is a dear brother under him, who came back from the cultivation of the Qinggeng Peak of Wuji Mountain; The surname 鄚 (卯) is called Jindao, and he has good medical skills; Once you meet him, it will be a good way to get rid of it! ”

This Gong Mei can really make up stories, Liu Min previously dismantled the Min character in the Xiwazi Carriage and Horse Sliding Pole in the state to open the name.

Before coming to the Dayang Silversmith Shop, Gong Mei took the lead; Split Liu Min's surname and called Yan Jindao.

The traditional Chinese character for Liu is 劉, which consists of three parts; That is, the gold knife.

And Gong Mei cleverly replaced the Mao character with the Yan character, which is tantamount to a kind of creation.

Zhang Hongji couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he saw Gong Mei say that Liu Min was his closest brother, surnamed Jindao, and that he had good medical skills after returning from practicing at Qinggeng Peak in Wuji Mountain.

Zhang Hongji stood up very flatteringly, took a few steps forward to Liu Min, bowed deeply, and said, "Did the old man really meet a nobleman?" ”

Zhang Hongji said, and gave Liu Min three more times and said: "The soldier just asked the soldier who rolled his legs where He Huanhuan was, and he was lying in the hall of the old man's Hongyun pawnshop!" ”

Zhang Hongji said, his eyes drooping and he said: "He Huanhuan broke his left leg by the hub wheel of the carriage, and he has nothing to do with the old man, but the three ** have lied to the old man; He Huanhuan was lying in the pawnshop hall, and Huang Qianpei and Luo Shuqing were guarding beside him; coerced the old man to find Lang Zhong to treat He Huanhuan's leg, but the leg was broken by the hub wheel of the carriage; There is no such Langzhong in Bianjing City! ”

Zhang Hongji wiped a handful of tears and said impassionedly: "For this reason, the old man plans to run away; But the Hongyun pawnshop is the owner Li Ji's ......"

Liu Min saw Zhang Hongji babbling and talking about a river, which seemed to only reflect one problem, that is, He Huanhuan relied on him to ask for treatment; He had no choice but to escape.

Liu Min said solemnly: "It seems that the old gentleman has really met a troubled person!" But He Huanhuan and the three of them relied on you to treat their injuries, did they take money? ”

"Take the chicken bones Massa!" Zhang Hongji scolded angrily: "If those three ** can come up with money, they won't rely on the old man!" ”

Liu Min frowned and said, "Then why did He Huanhuan and the three of them use a carriage to pull coins, there is another question that is more important; That's what they used to make a pawn, when you gave a thousand coins! ”

"This is it!" Zhang Hongji said in his mouth, took out the seal letter of the chief manager of the Great Interior from his arms, handed it to Liu Mindao: "Yan Zhuangshi, please see, this is this thing!" ”

Liu Min took the seal letter from Zhang Hongji and saw that it was a golden hairpin; The dragon and phoenix golden hairpin she picked up in Xuanji Cave are simply twin sisters.

"It turned out to be the dragon and phoenix golden hairpin!" Liu Min muttered in his heart, holding the dragon and phoenix golden hairpin in his hand and looking left and right; I saw that this dragon and phoenix golden hairpin was made of gold, and the head was a phoenix coiled by a dragon; The drill below looks like a single piece but can be divided into two pieces, one with a soldier on it and a rune on the other.

Liu Min was shocked and immediately judged that this was a talisman; The problem is that the talisman is generally divided into two lines, one in the hands of the emperor and one in the hands of the general; When fighting, the two soldiers can mobilize the army if they meet the requirements, but this dragon and phoenix golden hairpin talisman is combined with the two; That means that the person who holds this talisman can move the army at will, and this person's authority is too great!

Liu Min held the dragon and phoenix golden hairpin seal letter in his hand and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but think of two sacred things in ancient times.

In ancient times, the two sacred things were the emperor's jade seal, and the same was the military talisman.

Whoever has the Talisman will be the only one in the army.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Xinling Jun once stole the military talisman of the King of Wei and openly disobeyed the order of the King of Wei to lead his troops to aid Zhao.

Zhao Kuangyin held a talisman in his hand to facilitate the Chen Qiao Mutiny and seize the throne.

So the question is, the talisman is so important, why are there so many skilled craftsmen in the people, but no one has ever thought of forging it?

There are probably three reasons for this:

The first is that the cost is extremely high. In ancient times, precious metals such as gold, silver, copper and jade were basically used as raw materials for processing, and their smelting and engraving techniques were all made by the imperial court on behalf of the highest level in the country.

In addition, the use of the talisman needs to be divided into two halves, half for the emperor and half for the general, and only the emperor's talisman and the general's talisman can be combined to mobilize the army.

How high is the skill required to create such an irregularly fractured contour and a complex textured butt? And how much does it cost to copy the original stencil of the Talisman? Because of the high cost of the technology and materials required, it is difficult to forge the talisman.

The second anti-counterfeiting system. The military talisman is related to the security of the country, and the government naturally has a complete set of anti-counterfeiting systems.

All talismans must be used in conjunction with the edict, and each army in each place uses talismans with different shapes and inscriptions.

Only the Emperor knows which army the shape and inscription of all the talismans match, and even if your talisman and edict are forged to perfection, you don't know which army the talisman is used to mobilize.

Third, the risk is too great. Ordinary people don't need military talismans, and all forged military talismans are basically trying to rebel and seize power; This crime against the government is a mortal sin in all ages.

Who is an ordinary craftsman who wants to do this thing that puts the net worth and life of the nine clans on the line? Even if he wanted to, he forged a talisman, but a talisman could only mobilize one army.

For example, the Qin Dynasty had seventy-two counties, with countless subordinate counties; Even if one army can be mobilized, it will not be able to confront the power of the whole country, and it will inevitably fail in the end.

"Who is the person who holds the dragon and phoenix golden hairpin talisman? And who used the soldier talisman to pawn a thousand pieces of money? Liu Min muttered in his heart, looked at Zhang Hongji and said, "Can the old gentleman remember who used this kind of gold hairpin to pawn a thousand yuan!" ”

When Zhang Hongji saw Liu Min asking like this, he squeaked and whined for a long time: "It seems to be ...... It's a surname...... Jiang ......"

"Jiang Qing!" Liu Min picked up Zhang Hongji's incomplete words: "Big man, there is a small black mole on the left cheek of his face!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! It's this person! Zhang Hongji said happily: "Gongzi Yan knows Jiang Qing!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Min replied thoughtfully: "Did the old gentleman only think of escaping!" ”

Zhang Hongji heard what Liu Min said, and knelt in front of him with a "poof" and said: "The old man knows that Gongzi Yan is not a mortal, if Gongzi Yan can help the people eliminate disasters; That's reparenting! ”

Liu Min said solemnly: "The leg named He Huanhuan was crushed by the wheel of the carriage, and if it can be cured, the cost is not a small amount; The old gentleman ......, "Liu Min is trying to say that you have so much money?"

Liu Min didn't say the rest of the words, so he saw Zhang Hongji stand up and point to the dragon and phoenix golden hairpin that Liu Min was still holding in his hand and said: "The old man may not have so much money, but this dragon and phoenix golden hairpin is worth a lot of money and can be mortgaged!" ”

As soon as Zhang Hongji finished speaking, he saw Lu Chengyu walk in, and Liu Min hurriedly handed the dragon and phoenix golden hairpin to Zhang Hongji; Stood up and went to greet Lu Chengyu.

Liu Min recounted the rebellion of Li Jiqian of Western Xia obtained from Zhang Hongji and the rampant plague at the border pass; said that he wanted to go to the border to fight the epidemic, if Lu Chengyu could ask the commander to go to the Western Xia in front of the emperor; That's going to be a perfect fit!

Of course, Lu Chengyu was willing to be with Liu Min, and after chatting with Liu Min for a long time, he hurriedly left and returned to the Horse Mansion.

Liu Min sent Lu Chengyu away and came to the silversmith's workshop again to talk to Zhang Hongji, but saw Zhao Heng and Zhang Qi, the kings of Xiang, walking in through the door.

Zhao Heng wanted to shout when he saw Liu Min, but Liu Min pressed his finger to his mouth and made a no-noise gesture; led the two to another house.

The three of them entered another room, and Liu Min asked in surprise, "How did Brother Heng find here?" ”

Zhao Heng walked up to Liu Min and grabbed her hand tightly and said, "Xiao Wang asked about this place from the master of the horse!" Aunt Min, I didn't expect you to be here! ”

Liu Min asked Zhao Heng and Zhang Qi to sit down and talk, and the Red Cloud girl rushed over when she heard the news.

When Zhao Heng saw Hongyun, he also grabbed her hand and shook it and said, "The red girl is also here!" ”

Hongyun lowered his head embarrassedly and said, "The slave and maid rushed to Yishu Garden, Huojiazhuang in the west of the city, and killed Shen Yang and Han Fei there; But Brother Zhu and Sister Jing were killed by the forbidden army, and Grandpa Huo and Gong Niangniang were seriously injured; The master has just healed their injuries for a while! ”

"Zhu San and Sister Jing were killed by the forbidden army!" Zhao Heng asked in surprise: "These forbidden troops are really hateful!" ”。

"The forbidden army is not on the emperor's order to capture Liu Min!" Liu Min sighed and said: "Those dead forbidden soldiers, Brother Zhu, and Sister Jing are all cannon fodder for the emperor!" ”

Zhao Heng bowed his head and was silent, he wanted to say that it was all the cruelty of his father; But when the words came to his lips, he didn't say them and became: "Aunt Min, the eldest brother is crazy because of the fourth uncle's wrongdoing; Minzi is familiar with the doctor, Xiao Wang specially asked you to go and see him! ”
