Qin Xuan looked at his expression, and then heard his words, he suddenly understood in his heart, and sighed secretly: I actually met this kind of person, and wanted to blackmail my RMB for nothing, don't think about it! Thinking of this, Qin Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed to the RMB that Liu Fuyuan was holding in his hand, and asked in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper Liu, the thing you are holding in your hand is the ancestral heirloom, is it possible that you have thought about the things below?" ”

When Liu Fuyuan heard this, his face trembled, and he immediately quibbled: "Hmph, this is a thing of the shop, how can it be your family's ancestral heirloom?" ”

Qin Xuan was immediately angry, took a step forward, glared at Liu Fuyuan, gritted his teeth and said, "If you insist on saying this, then you have to go to see the official with you!" ”

Liu Fuyuan saw that Qin Xuan was dressed ordinarily and his accent was not like that of Chang'an people, so he said arrogantly: "If you see an official, you will see an official, Chang'an City is full of officials, I don't know which one you want to see!" The old man knows a lot, I don't know who you want to meet? ”

Liu Fuyuan obviously had something to say, and Qin Xuan immediately said coldly in his heart: Hmph, you dead old man, you dare to threaten me! Then he opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "There is an old relationship with the room below, I don't know if Shopkeeper Liu dares to go?" ”

Liu Fuyuan was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: A poor scholar, will he have an old relationship with Fang? Nonsense, trying to scare me, I don't believe it! Then I thought: However, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if. His eyes turned around suspiciously, and he said casually: "You are still a scholar, did the old man ask you to go to the city office or the county office?" ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he felt a wave of anger in his heart: Is there a market management committee in the Tang Dynasty? In order to get his RMB back earlier, Qin Xuan just coldly spit out the words "Municipal Bureau", and then stretched out his hand to signal Liu Fuyuan to go.

The manager of the municipal bureau is a petty official in Chang'an City. Jin Yulong, the steward of Dongshi, is sleek and smart, and when he heard that Liu Fuyuan of Fuyuan pawnshop had a dispute with a scholar, he made trouble in the yamen, and scolded in his heart: This Liu Fuyuan, relying on his brother to be the housekeeper of Chaifu, is he unwilling to give up if he doesn't toss me to death? "Call in!"

Qin Xuan and Liu Fuyuan walked into the yamen of the Municipal Bureau, and Liu Fuyuan knelt down and hugged his head and cried: "Jin Guan, you have to call the shots for the villain!" Stretched out his hand and pointed at Qin Xuan on the side, and said viciously: "This guy is pretending to be ransomed, not to say that the treasures of the store are his ancestral heirlooms!" Seeing that Jin Yulong didn't say anything for a long time, he said: "Jin Steward, you must be strict with this house, and the little old man and his brother will definitely come to thank you afterwards!" ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he said in his heart: Why does this old guy specifically emphasize his brother, could it be that his brother is a big official? Hurriedly knelt down and explained: "Steward Jin, under Qin Xuan!" Those two paintings are indeed ancestral heirlooms, and there are many secret notes in them that only Xia knows! ”

The golden steward was forced by Liu Fuyuan to mention his brother, and he already had a sense of favoritism in his heart, so he wanted to speak, Qin Xuan said again: "The golden steward, I have an old relationship with Fang Xiang in the next, and I also know about this painting Fang Xiang, and I hope to investigate it in detail, and it is still fair in the next one!" ”

When the golden steward heard this, he choked on the words that he was about to speak. Wrinkled the door and thought: This scholar still knows Fang Xiang? It's not easy to do! After thinking for a moment, the financial steward slowly spoke, but he said it to the municipal officials on the side. "Duan Kangde, you go to the Fang Xiang Mansion and the Chai Gong Mansion to send a message, explain the situation in detail, and see how the two adults react!"

Qin Xuan shook his head and thought secretly: This steward will come to trouble, and he can't be offended at both ends, it's interesting! Fortunately, I moved out of Fang Xuanling just now, otherwise I wouldn't know what would have happened to me! However, who is Chai Gongfu talking about, is it Chai Shao?

However, it was said that Duan Kangde went to Qinrenfang Chaifu to explain the situation first, and Liu Fuyuan's elder brother Liu Fuguang heard that his younger brother had a dispute with someone, and immediately went to the Dongshi Municipal Bureau.

Duan Kangde then hurried to the house, which coincided with Fang Xuanling and Chai Shao meeting in the house to drink and have fun, Duan Kangde said with the two of them in 1510. Fang Xuanling was only a little surprised, Chai Shao heard that Liu Fuguang's younger brother had a dispute with Fang Xuanling's deceased, and for the sake of face, he pulled Fang Xuanling and went straight to the Dongshi Municipal Bureau.

For more than an hour, the golden steward and the parents of the two asked about everything, but they didn't mention anything about calligraphy and painting. Finally, an old man who looked quite similar to Liu Fuyuan and was a little older walked in with a loud laugh. "Steward Jin, don't come unharmed!"

Jin Yulong hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Steward Liu is still full of spring breeze, and it seems that his body is still very healthy!" ”

Steward Liu waved his hand and shook his head: "Steward Jin is joking, the old man is now nearly sixty years old, and he still says that he is healthy, but there is no disaster or disease!" He turned his head and glanced at Liu Fuyuan, who was on the side, and asked, "Why did my brother come to the Yamen of the Municipal Bureau today?" The official didn't say it very clearly!

Jin Yulong looked at him left and right, delayed for a long time, and still didn't see anyone from the house, and said in his heart: It seems that this scholar is talking nonsense! Then he said sharply to Qin Xuan: "Qin Xuan, you pretended to redeem your money and slandered people's calligraphy and paintings, and you didn't invite them from the truth!" ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he hurriedly said: "Steward Jin, I hope to investigate in detail, those two paintings are really ancestral heirlooms!" If you don't believe it, you can point out a few secret notes below! ”

After Liu Fuyuan took out the RMB, Jin Yulong took it, and was dumbfounded, and was surprised in his heart: there are still such treasures in the world! Steward Liu stepped forward and glanced at it, and said secretly in his heart: Good painting! I said, Fuyuan didn't force him to buy, instead of asking for ignorant calligraphy and paintings, it turned out to be such a fine product, I'm afraid the whole pawnshop is not worth these two paintings!

Qin Xuan got one of the renminbi and pointed to the upper right corner of the front: "My lord, look, there are two circles and one word here, which are specially hidden in the matter of the painting of the next ancestors, which means that this painting is a set of two!" ”

After Qin Xuan finished speaking, Jin Yulong carefully followed Qin Xuan's appearance to check, and sure enough, he saw two circles and one horizontal. Looking up at Liu Fuyuan, before he could say anything, Liu Fuyuan hurriedly said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, this secret note was told to him by the little old man in the pawnshop!" ”

Just as Jin Yulong hesitated slightly, a thick voice came from the door: "Jin Yulong, don't you know how to judge?" ”

When everyone heard this, they looked sideways and saw two people in official robes walking side by side. Steward Liu saw the two of them hurriedly stepped forward to greet each other: "Master, Fang Xiang!" ”

The official known as the master glared at Steward Liu, and said sharply: "Hmph, Liu Fuguang, you are so pretending to be an official to help your brother steal people's property!" ”

Steward Liu hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "No, master, the old slave doesn't!" ”

Jin Yulong, who came back to his senses, broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: Fortunately, I haven't pronounced the verdict yet, if the words I want to say are spoken, then there will be no place to maneuver. Hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage and said: "Xiaguan Jin Yulong visits the prime minister, Chai Gong!" ”

Chai Shao snorted coldly and did not speak. Fang Xuanling waved his hand to get up, then walked straight to Qin Xuan and said with a smile: "Qin Xuan! Aren't you afraid that your officials will not help you and end up in prison! ”

Qin Xuanling said in his heart: Fang Xuanling can come, he must be willing to help me, if I flatter and flatter at this moment, my image in Fang Xuanling's heart will definitely be greatly reduced. If I am neither humble nor arrogant, I may be able to escape this catastrophe, and Fang Xuanling may take a high look at me. Raising his hand, he said: "Fang Xiang understands the righteousness and will definitely not stand idly by." Moreover, Datang has a vast territory, and there have never been a few unjust, false and wrongful cases! ”

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he smiled, just nodded, and did not say anything more.

Jin Yulong, who was on the side, heard Qin Xuan's words, and said hurriedly: "Fang Xiang, the officials are just acting cautiously, for fear that the judgment will be wrong, and the verdict has not been pronounced yet!" ”

Chai Shao said coldly: "Then the golden steward will continue to interrogate, and this horse and Fang Xiang will listen, don't hinder it!" ”

Jin Yulong trembled, thought for a moment and said, "Liu Fuyuan, are there any other secret notes in this painting?" ”

Liu Fuyuan lowered his head, his expression was painful, and he only popped out a "no-no!" for a long time! ”。

Qin Xuan smiled directly: "Steward Jin, there are naturally other secret marks in the painting, let me point it out for you!" ”

After Qin Xuan explained and confirmed, Jin Yulong said in a deep voice: "Liu Fuyuan, what else do you have to say at this moment?" ”

Liu Fuyuan instantly threw himself on the ground and said bitterly: "The villain knows his mistake, it is the villain who is greedy for money for a while!" ”

Seeing this, Jin Yulong said slowly: "Since you have confessed your guilt, according to the "Tang Law", the official ......."

Before Jin Yulong finished speaking, Liu Fuguang directly kicked Liu Fuyuan and scolded: "You bastard, your conscience has been eaten by a dog, and you want to ignore people's property!" Liu Fuguang's words can be described as shrewd, a word of desire will make Jin Yulong's punishment shake, you must know that there is a world of difference between the punishment of wealth and unwealth in Tang Law: those who do not have wealth will be flogged fifty, and those who will be rich will be sentenced to fifty horses.

Jin Yulong was stunned, and didn't know how to punish him, after all, Liu Fuyuan had indeed taken Qin Xuan's things in his hands, if he hadn't found out at this moment, he would definitely have been gone!

Liu Fuguang saw Jin Yulong stunned, and said hurriedly: "Jin Guanshi, this matter is the fault of my brother, I was already old when he was young, if it is really fifty, I am afraid that my life will be worried." It is better to give the Fuyuan pawnshop to this son as compensation, and then expel his brother from Chang'an and make him go back to his hometown to farm! ”

After hearing this, Jin Yulong didn't know what to do, and said in his heart: If I agree, it seems that I have no opinion, and I am suspected of fraud; If you don't agree, you will offend Steward Liu, and I don't know what Chai Gong thinks. His eyes rolled around, looking at Fang Xuanling and Chai Shao.

After all, Fang Xuanling had been figuring out the holy intention for a long time, and just glanced at it casually, he knew Jin Yulong's thoughts, and blurted out: "This official thinks that Liu Fuguang's words are quite pertinent, Jin Yulong, you might as well consider it!" ”

Chai Shao on the side immediately blurted out: "Hmph, such a stupid minion, don't think about it, it's business!" ”

Jin Yulong thought for a moment and asked Qin Xuan, "I don't know what Gongzi Qin thinks?" ”

Qin Xuan had already heard what Fang Xuanling meant, besides, the five-story small building of Fuyuan Pawnshop was not a cheap thing, so he was immediately moved, and said with a slight smile: "Please also ask the gold manager to think carefully, after all, Shopkeeper Liu is old!" ”

Qin Xuan's answer made Jin Yulong very satisfied, and he immediately pronounced the verdict: "The matter has already come to light, and this official thinks that Liu Fuyuan is old, so he will be exempted from fifty lashes." Liu Fuyuan sent the original Fuyuan pawnshop in Dongshi to Qin Xuan as compensation, Liu Fuyuan moved back to his hometown, and he was not allowed to enter Dongshi to do business in the future! ”

Qin Xuan's heart was very comfortable, and he got a five-story shop with a false alarm. Holding the title deed, the corners of his mouth overflowed with a smile. After leaving the city office, Chai Shao said to Fang Xuanling apologetically: "Fang Xiang, let's stop drinking today!" He turned around and scolded the Liu family brothers: "Hurry up and get back for me!" ”

After Fang Xuanling said goodbye to Chai Shao, he turned to Qin Xuan and said: "Didn't Gongzi Qin call the old man the old man, and now the old man invited the old man Qin Xuan to the mansion to talk, I don't know if he is willing?" ”
