When the first bell of the bell tower rang, the gate of Chang'an City also slowly opened in the bell, and the morning market vendors and pedestrians who had lined up outside to enter the city began to check their identities and enter the city.

Outside Chang'an City, the Shiliting Post Station was full of carriages from all over the world to Beijing, His Majesty's birthday was approaching, and the tributes sent to Chang'an from all over the country also arrived in Chang'an City one after another during this time.

The officials inside and outside the post station were busy, and the officials standing at the door were shouting loudly with the check-in booklet.

"Luoyang's, Luoyang's to the left, leave some seats for Jinling's team, and Yongzhou's, wait for Luoyang to leave, and then you can start to prepare."

Even though the scale of the Shiliting Post Station is already one of the best post stations in Dachu, when so many people arrive at the same time, it still gives the little officials of the post station a little headache.

But the itinerary on the road is uncontrollable, sometimes even if you take a step early, encounter wind, rain or snow or any accidents, delay for a few days and then delay together.

That was the case yesterday. The tribute processions from Luoyang, Jinling and Yongzhou to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday arrived in Chang'an at the same time, and the people were barely stuffed, and what was even more troublesome was that the carriages transporting the tribute were almost crowded into a ball.

The little official at the post station wiped the sweat on his forehead and urged: "It's all good, don't rub it off, after a while, there will be more people entering and leaving the city gate, and it will be even more difficult to go." ”

There are not many people who have come to Chang'an City with the tribute procession to Beijing, and now seeing the long queue in front of them, the crowd is crowded, and I can't help but sigh: "If it is really prosperous Kyoto, the tribute team wants to enter the city as soon as possible." ”

"I don't know." A man snorted softly past the man, his expression arrogant.

"Who are you?" sighed and was scolded "no knowledge", no one is easy to mess with, even if the person who sighed opened his mouth and became angry, he also looked at the man carefully.

The appearance is just ordinary Zhou Zheng, looking at the color of the jade wearing the strap, it is estimated that it is worth a lot, and most of them are accompanying merchants.

Most of these merchants who followed the tribute procession into Beijing were famous people in the same place, and they were also well-known in the local area, so naturally there was no reason to endure them.

"Jinling Qiao Zhengyuan." The man who snorted said, "You might as well inquire about my Qiao Zhengyuan's name." ”

It turned out to be the head of the Qiao family, the richest man in Jinling. The man who was choked up had a sneering face, compared to this person who had a name in the business names everywhere, he was just the chief steward of a local silk village in Yongzhou. A silk village is naturally not comparable to Qiao Zhengyuan's power, this time to be able to enter Beijing, but it is just the light of the old embroiderer, embroidered a wonderful picture, even the shopkeeper himself did not enter Beijing, only sent him to accompany him.

Of course, this Qiao Zhengyuan is not something he can provoke, and if he gets a boring one, the man turns his head and leaves.

The tribute team from Luoyang to Beijing ordered for more than an hour, and finally left the post station, and the post station officials breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly shouted: "Yongzhou, Yongzhou can go out." ”

Jinling's last few goods have not been hand-picked to be completed, and it is estimated that it will be almost finished, and these two groups of people will be sent away, and it will be almost the same today.

Seeing the careful hand-picking of the accompanying merchants in Jinling, the post station official shook his head, took out a handkerchief and wiped his face indiscriminately.

"These are all tributes, who dares to move around? That's going to kill your head. The little official couldn't help muttering.

He had been at the Shiliting Post Station for ten years, and sometimes it wasn't the better things that were easier to steal, and most of what was lost was just things that looked inconspicuous and valuable. It's been ten years since I paid tribute, and I haven't heard of anything happening to the tribute-giving team.

Wiping the sweat from his face, the servant was about to tuck the handkerchief back into his sleeve.

A scream rang out, and with a shake of his hand, the veil fell to the ground.

There were soon many footprints on the handkerchiefs that landed, and the merchants from Yongzhou rushed out of the post station and ran towards one of the carriages.

"What's going on?"

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

……

Anxious inquiries were heard endlessly.

The little official's face turned pale, and he subconsciously grabbed the registered document in his hand: It's not good, something happened to the tribute.

"That double-sided splendid picture of heavenly official blessing is gone!" A man exclaimed, "That was appointed by His Majesty to the roster." ”

Yongzhou Jinxiuzhuang is just an ordinary silk village in Yongzhou, it stands to reason that such a good thing as being selected as a tribute will never fall on their heads, and this is known by looking at the accompanying merchants are local celebrities in Yongzhou.

The reason why Jinxiuzhuang was able to enter Beijing this time was because of the double-sided splendid blessing of the late old embroidery lady of Jinxiuzhuang, which is said to be specially hand-picked by His Majesty, but he did not expect it to suddenly disappear at this time.

"Could it be that you forgot to put it somewhere else?" The postman at the post station also rushed over when he heard the news, and asked with a pale face.

"Impossible." The manly face of the man who spoke was flushed, and he said angrily, "I only brought this one thing with me this time, how could I forget?" This is a good opportunity for the shopkeeper to specially ask me to make my splendid village famous all over the world, how can I forget? ”

The tribute has been stolen! That's a big deal.

A few Yongzhou merchants looked grim, if there were other things, maybe it would be better, but what was lost was the things hand-picked by His Majesty, and the old embroidery lady in Jinxiuzhuang had passed away, and her craftsmanship was lost.

"Yesterday when I entered the station, this thing is still fine." A few Yongzhou merchants said, looking at the post station minister, "Your post station has registered its own things, you won't deny it, right?" ”

After all, it is a tribute, and the post station naturally does not dare to be sloppy, especially those "unique" things in the tribute, which are the most important, such as Yongzhou, which can never have a second double-sided splendid heavenly official blessing map in the world.

Something is going to happen! The post minister of the post station had a headache and supported his forehead, turned his head and instructed the little official: "While the team in Luoyang has not yet entered the city, go and stop the people, Jinling's can't go, my post station is just a place to stay people, but I don't know how to investigate the case, this matter can only go into the city to report to Dali Temple, ask Dali Temple to come forward." ”

The tribute was stolen, and if they couldn't be found, they would all be implicated.

……

……

"I probably know what the dart is sent by Su Xun."

The girl's voice fell, and everyone was shocked when they heard it, and Liu Jize couldn't help but hurriedly ask her: "What is it?" ”

He just couldn't guess what kind of dart Su Cheng sent, so he took a risk, and she couldn't figure it out for months, but she knew?

Liu Jize didn't believe it.

"There is one thing, transported from Jinling to Chang'an, which is grandiose, everyone is watching, and no one dares to covet it." The girl said, "And I will definitely enter Beijing and appear in front of His Majesty." ”

"It's a tribute." Zhen Shiyuan suddenly exclaimed when he heard this, "Congratulations on the tribute to Your Majesty's birthday." ”
