It's just that, even so, the girl didn't open the wooden box immediately, but put her hand on the lock of the wooden box, sighed slightly, and said, "I'm not afraid of what the other party will do to me when I go in, I'm afraid that the other party will change the things inside." However, I thought about it seriously and still gambled on it. The girl explained, "Because I have come to the door with a seal letter now, I have almost confirmed the matter of 'private hiding', and the little guy was arrested on Shanxi Road, no matter how powerful they are, they can't predict the prophet, and it is impossible to know what happened on Shanxi Road." ”

There is an element of gambling, but the odds of her winning are huge.

"It's not surprising that a person who will do anything because he is greedy for money and secretly hides the seal, and the person who runs this black money business is definitely not a great good person, and he will probably judge me with the greatest evil, for example, at that time, I privately asked the little guy on Shanxi Road to know the objects inside, etc. In this way, in his opinion, even if I don't know the importance of the objects inside, if the things in it are replaced for no reason, I will find out. The girl's tone calmly analyzed the changes in the mood of both parties, "In his opinion, if I will find out, either I will grit my teeth and endure this unclear private collection, or I will simply hand over the private seal to you, and between the two, he is not sure which way I will choose, in order to figure out my nature with evil, then it is obviously more likely that I will choose the method of 'I can't get anything and don't fall into the benefits of your Yuanheng Qianzhuang'." ”

A seemingly ordinary and simple process of fetching things, the two sides have unconsciously played a game, and as a result, if the things in the box are true, then she has won this game.

Zhen Shiyuan was silent, and after a while, he said: "The official didn't take out this seal letter first, but he didn't think about it that much. He just followed human instinct and hid the last card of the case at the moment, and did not dare to play it easily until he had to.

He is such a person, and so is most people in this world, but this person in front of him is not. She will only choose to shoot when she thinks it is best for her.

"Will something be real?" Compared to the process of how to get it, Xu Hexiu's gaze had paused on the wooden box in front of him for a long time.

"I don't know what the seal is hiding." The girl said and reached out to pull the lock on the wooden box, and said, "Pei Qingqing and I opened it in Yuanheng Qianzhuang before, and it is really nothing special at a cursory glance, but it is just some silver taels." ”

As the words fell, the lock fell on the table with a "click", and the girl reached out and opened the wooden box, which was filled with neatly placed silver ingots.

When they saw the things in the wooden box, Zhen Shiyuan and Xu Hexiu were stunned at first, and then they all showed disappointment.

Originally, I thought that even if it wasn't a direct object pointing to the murderer, such as something unique in the world that the murderer carried, even if it wasn't these, it should be some unusual gold and silver artifacts. In short, no matter how they thought about it, it was impossible for them to see the neat silver ingots in front of them.

"You...... You can't be deceived, right? Xu Hexiu looked at it for a moment, then asked Qiao Ran hesitantly.

After all, none of the people here know what's in the box, and even if they're deceived, they don't know.

"I don't know if I've been scammed." Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the girl shook her head, and then saw her reach out and grab one of the silver ingots, rub it in her hand for a moment, and say to the two of them, "However, I don't think they have been exchanged." ”

It hasn't been replaced, which means that these silver ingots were originally in this box?

Before the two of them could begin to ask, the girl turned the silver ingot in her hand and pointed the bottom of the silver ingot towards them.

There is a square inscription on the bottom of the silver ingot, which can be seen to be an official silver.

But so what? There are not a few official silvers in the people's homes, and even ordinary people may have official silver that has not had time to melt it, and there are even those collections that everyone likes to collect every batch of official silver that the imperial court has to collect for collection.

The laws of Great Chu do not stipulate that it is a felony to collect official silver.

"Since we are ready to exchange gold and silver, it is obviously better to choose the private silver that has no mark than the official silver, and it is obviously more suspicious to exchange the official silver." The girl paused and shook her head, "So, I'm inclined they haven't been swapped. ”

If they have not been replaced, how can these official silvers cause death?

Zhen Shiyuan stretched out his hand and picked up an official silver and looked at the engraving under the official silver.

"Yongchang nine years," Zhen Shiyuan squinted slightly, this era name first made him stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said, "It seems to be the old official silver from a few dynasties ago." ”

If you really want to count it, the Great Chu Tianzi with the era name Yongchang is the great-great-great-grandfather of the current Son of Heaven. This Yongchang ninth year has been more than 100 years ago.

The old official silver of more than 100 years ago, uh, may be worth more money to some people who have a habit of collecting than today's official silver, but it is not worth much.

Indeed, as she said, if you really want to exchange, there is really no need to replace it with a box of old official silver from a hundred years ago, and he selfishly feels that this thing should be what Yin Xin represents.

Unexpectedly, he didn't dare to take out something here tossing and turning, but she took it out so easily, Zhen Shiyuan couldn't help but look at the girl opposite who was playing with the official silver in her hand.

As if sensing what he was thinking, the girl smiled at him and said, "Lord Zhen, although it is the same seal, different people can take it, and I am afraid that the one given by Yuanheng Qianzhuang is different." This small Yuanheng money village is full of smart people, and smart people always like to think more. ”

Therefore, as long as she guides a little, she will think more about the direction of her guidance, as for if the other party doesn't think about it much, he has the same attitude towards her as he does towards Zhen Shiyuan, and he also changes things to perfunctory people, which is just the worst result. After all, the seal letter is only useful if it is used, and it is useless if it does not rot in the hand, so Zhen Shiyuan will have to take it out sooner or later. In this case, it is better to take advantage of this time to take it out, and you can also get the real objects hidden in Yuanheng Qianzhuang.

After all, it is up to them to decide whether to give things or not, as for whether what they give is true, it depends on Yuanheng Qianzhuang himself.

Right now, she was inclined to believe that these things were real, and this was the thing that brought death to the little guy. In this case, the question arises again, why did Yuanheng Qianzhuang dare to hand over these things to her? What role did they play in the whole thing, and why did these Yongchang nine-year-old official silver be hidden for so long?

More than a hundred years ago, the name of the Great Chu Emperor was Yongchang, what secrets did this Yongchang Emperor hide behind the batch of official silver that he smelted during his reign for nine years?

At this moment, the expressions of several people in the room invariably became solemn. At the moment, I don't know any of this, but as an official of Dali Temple who has taken over a lot of cases, I have an indescribable premonition at this moment: I am afraid that this Yongchang has hidden a lot of secrets in the ninth year.

In the end, it was more than a hundred years ago, for their descendants, it was the past recorded in the history books, and the people and things of the year are long gone, and everyone's vision of the past and the mentality of looking at the current are always different.

"This great-great-great-grandfather's reign was not short, but it was not long, he reigned for more than twenty years." After being silent for a while, Xu Hexiu spoke again, talking about these things from a hundred years ago, his expression couldn't help but have a bit of a strange look.

In the end, there are still some people who are not used to it, and the people who used to be read as the history books of their predecessors suddenly appeared in the case at hand, can they, the descendants, still be able to undertake the old affairs of their ancestors? Xu Hexiu even secretly wondered in his heart: Why don't you find the Yin and Yang Division to make a method or something.

Of course, it's just thinking about it, and thinking and knowing that even if you mention it, you won't pay attention to him.

After thinking for a while, Xu Hexiu spoke again: "This Emperor Yongchang doesn't seem to have done anything impressive. He thought about it for so long, but he didn't think of anything.

When the Son of Heaven was in power, he was naturally admired by the world, and no one dared to say a word "no", but after his death, the world had its own judgment on these past Son of Heaven. Of course, this judgment is not compared with ordinary people, but with the same Son of Heaven.

There are monarchs such as Emperor Qin and Han Wu who have left their names in the history books, and there are also tyrants who are absurd and unscrupulous and scolded by later generations, but there are more mediocre sons who do nothing and don't even bother to say that the storyteller is too lazy to say.

This Emperor Yongchang is one of these many mediocre people who storytellers don't bother to mention. But now, this Son of Heaven, who doesn't have much ink in the history books, suddenly appeared in front of them in such a strange way, and it was related to a murder case. It's a whole thing that I don't know how to describe it in words.

Xu Hexiu silently looked at the two people in front of him who didn't speak, and as for Pei Qingqing, who was secretly eating on the side, he had automatically skipped it.

"What do you think?" He asked.

Zhen Shiyuan thought for a while and said, "At the moment, I don't know how to start except for this place, and I can only follow the clues of Emperor Yongchang." ”

As for the Xie Yi who was locked up in the prison, they all knew in their hearts that most of the little guy's death had nothing to do with him, but he had to be sentenced for instigating murder in the first place, but now the unresolved suspicion of the case is on the little guy, so the Xie Yi in the prison did not interrogate him more, and he did not have the idea of handing it over to the criminal department for punishment.

Although Xie Yi, a disciple of the Xie family, seems to have developed a gentleman, he has no intention of helping the Xie family clean up the gentlemanhood, and he doesn't want to cause more trouble.

"Nine years of Yongchang." A female voice suddenly sounded at this moment.

There are two women in this room, Pei Qingqing's voice is not so small, and there is glutinous rice dumplings stuffed in her mouth, obviously it is not Pei Qingqing who is speaking, it is Qiao Ran on the side.

She hadn't spoken for a while, but at this time, she repeated the era name, and then looked at Zhen Shiyuan and Xu Hexiu's gaze, and then she slowly spoke: "I haven't seen a record of this era name in official history. ”

For her ability to "never forget", everyone believes in it, and she has already read this kind of thing as a book, so she said no, most likely there will be no mistakes.

Moreover, it is highly likely.

Because Emperor Yongchang is an emperor who is mediocre everywhere, there are not many records in the official history, most of them are things that the court issued decrees, of course, there are things about the harem of Emperor Yongchang, but there have been no twists and turns in the emperors of the past dynasties, and the throne was smoothly passed to the prince, and there is nothing else.

So the year was uneventful, nothing happened? Zhen Shiyuan and Xu Hexiu didn't say anything, seeing that the girl poured herself a cup of tea for herself, knowing that she had something to say, they didn't leave.

They also planned to go to the treasury to see if there were any files or case records of this year, but there was a "living file" that they could read as a book and never forget it, so they could save a lot of trouble.

"But one thing happened in Yongchang in ten years...... It's a big deal! Qiao Ran thought, "modifying" the wording, "The file of that case can still be found in the treasury of Dali Temple." ”

Whether it is a major event depends on what it is compared with, compared to those monarchs who opened the dynasty or the emperors like the empress who have experienced the troubles of his subordinates plotting against the monarch, what happened in Yongchang ten years is really not a big deal. It's just that compared with Emperor Yongchang, a monarch who is so mediocre that historians write about the emperor's preferences for food and clothing in order to leave more pen and ink in the history books, what happened in Yongchang in the past ten years can really be regarded as a "big event".

"The elder brother of Emperor Yongchang has a daughter under his knees, and her body has not been very good since she was a child, and I heard that it is a problem brought by the womb. This daughter of the Taishi Mansion rarely goes out on weekdays, and it is rare to go out once, but she also goes to offer incense to the Hanshan Temple outside the city and ask the Buddha for protection or something. Qiao Ran said. Of course, this kind of statement is not explicitly stated in the file record, but it can be inferred from the pen and ink in it and the case history recorded later in the file.

"The dossier said that because of her poor bones, the queen of Emperor Yongchang was also very fond of this girl, and she often sent the imperial doctor in the palace to the Taishi Mansion to regulate the girl's body." Qiao Ran said.

Zhen Shiyuan snorted and glanced at Qiao Ran: he didn't miss the "said in the dossier" that she had just deliberately mentioned. The special mention of the word "dossier" is obviously that she has other speculations in mind.

"But this girl who can be said to be delicate in addition to her body, but who is loved by thousands of people, encountered an accident when she went to Hanshan Temple to incense in the spring of that year." Qiao Ran said, "After the incense that day, a group of robbers caught the girl in the back mountain of Hanshan Temple, and Dali Temple naturally took over immediately after the incident, and then caught the group of robbers in less than two days, but it was a pity that ......"

Seeing the girl's slight shaking of her head, Xu Hexiu blurted out: "That daughter of the Taishi Mansion is dead?" ”

Qiao Ran nodded, a trace of unbearability flashed on her face: "Not bad, and I heard about it...... The death was extremely tragic. ”

Of course, the dossier of Dali Temple is based on the principle of recording the case, and the description of the girl's death is also very detailed, but such a tragic situation, Qiao Ran, who is also a girl, is really a little indescribable.

Needless to say, what will happen to a delicate and good-looking girl falling into the hands of robbers, Zhen Shiyuan and Xu Hexiu naturally guessed it, and the girl's death has little to do with the fact that they want to discuss the case, so there is no need to focus on this. What you really have to care about is how the daughter of the Taishi Mansion, who does not go out of the gate, would encounter robbers in a place like Hanshan Temple on the outskirts of the capital?
