In the main room, Li Jingshan, Li Jingjue and Ruan Mingyu sat around the table, all looking at the thin pieces of paper in front of them with solemn faces.

"This is my classmate who is the master bookkeeper in the Criminal Department, and he helped me turn over the file." Li Jingjue said in a deep voice: "This case was not a big case back then, and I don't remember much. All I could find was the few pieces of paper he had copied for me. ”

"When the Queen Mother had a big birthday, the Si Zhen Bureau sent the work out, and this proposal was made by Yue Zhangshi?" Ruan Mingyu flipped through the file and looked up at Li Jingshan.

"Yes, it's this Yue Zangfeng." Li Jingjue said, "And the one who made a statement to the saint and finally assigned the work to Minzhou Si Zhenfang is now Du Kui, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”

Li Jingshan blinked, "Chief Du of the Internal Affairs Office? But when I participated in the palace election with Si Zhenfang, the chief who presided over the competition? ”

Ruan Mingyu nodded, "It's him." He has been a celebrity by the saint's side for many years. ”

"He's still Yue Zangfeng's godfather."

Li Jingjue said, "Although the capital Si Zhenfang can get the royal plaque and take over the palace work. But he always thinks about building a good relationship with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When Yue Zangfeng was a teenager, he was favored by Du Kui. The head of Si Zhenfang saw that Yue Zangfeng was a concubine, so he persuaded his family to pass him on to Du Kui as an adopted son. It was only then that Yue Zangfeng made steady progress in the Sizhen Bureau. ”

Seeing Li Jingshan looking at herself disapprovingly, Li Jingjue secretly stuck out her tongue and hurriedly added, "Of course, Yue Zangfeng's craftsmanship is also an important factor in his promotion. ”

Li Jingshan turned her eyes, and then looked down at the file, but her face was not calm, "The last person to review is also in charge of Master Yue?" It was he who discovered that there was something wrong with the Golden Buddha? ”

"Exactly." Li Jingjue stopped talking about gossip, and said with a solemn face: "They are the ones who recommended them, and they are the ones who pushed our Li family into the abyss in the end." ”

Li Jingshan held the thin two-page paper, but felt that it was as heavy as a thousand catties. She suddenly looked back quickly: "Can there be any explanation, how did they find out that there was a problem with the golden Buddha?" ”

"It was an accident." Li Jingjue took out the last piece of paper, "A little eunuch was careless when he was inspecting, and he fell down and hit the table. Yue Zangfeng took a closer look, and found that there was only a shallow trace of the bumped place. He immediately reported it, suspecting that this Buddha did not exist. ”

When Ruan Mingyu heard this, he glanced at Li Jingshan, and Li Jingshan explained: "Because pure gold is soft, this level of impact should leave deeper traces." ”

"Exactly." Li Jingjue nodded, "After that, the sample was cut from the bottom of the Golden Buddha and refined for inspection, and sure enough, it was found that there were a lot of copper blocks mixed in it." ”

Li Jingshan was silent for a long time, and muttered, "So, it's not from the color of the Golden Buddha, but from the hardness?" She looked up at Ruan Mingyu suddenly, "Ah Yu, you see, there are really people in the people who can change the color of metal!" After a pause, he added slowly, "And hardness." ”

Ruan Mingyu was silent for a long time, let out a long sigh, and asked, "When do you plan to leave for Changzhou?" Wait for me for a few days, wait for me to arrange the affairs of the Treasure Hunt. ”

Li Jingshan was startled, and said dumbfounded: "You, you, do you want to go together?" ”

"Why, I can't stop you from going," Ruan Mingyu said fiercely, "Aren't you still allowed to accompany you?" ”

"No, no, that's not what I meant," Li Jingshan hurriedly reassured, "I mean, you Jingbao Pavilion has a lot of things, can you really get out of the way?" Moreover, it is about to be the Tanabata and Mid-Autumn Festival sales season. You leave the capital at this time...... "she asked timidly, "is this really good?" ”

"Hmph, no matter how important the business is, is it important to have a wife?" Ruan Mingyu didn't have the courage to respond.

However, after two complaints, he finally calmed down his anger, and he said earnestly, "And this matter involves the case of the palace back then, and now you are going to sink into the dregs, I am careful that someone will be unfavorable to you." If I don't follow you, I'm not at ease. ”

Li Jingshan just wanted to say that this matter was not yet known, how could there be danger, so she heard Li Jingjue take the lead in clapping her hands and said, "Great, brother-in-law is really thoughtful." With you with my sister, I can rest assured. ”

He clenched his fists and said resolutely, "So let's go our separate ways." In a few days, I asked my classmate to take me into the transcription room and examine the files again to see if there were any other clues. ”

Li Jingshan looked at Ruan Mingyu helplessly and nodded.

-

A few days later, on the official road to Changzhou, a carriage scurried forward under the scorching sun. The driver was under the sunshade, revealing Ruan Mo's cold face. In the carriage, it was Meng Shu and Ruan Mingyu who hurried to Changzhou.

There was an ice basin in the corner of the carriage, but it was still so hot that people were sweating. Ruan Mingyu put the cut chilled melon, inserted it with a skewer and distributed it to the two ladies, and put a piece into his mouth himself, before he breathed out happily, "In this kind of weather, only chilled melons and fruits can comfort my hot heart." ”

As soon as the words fell, he was secretly kicked by Li Jingshan.

Ruan Mingyu smiled disapprerovingly, but still changed the topic very obediently, "What are you going to do when you arrive in Changzhou?" ”

"There are many time-honored gold and silver shops in Changzhou, and when I practiced the silk process, I often asked them to study the technique of wire drawing. They know some metal ratios and can create filaments with different tenacities. I'm going to go and visit the old craftsmen and ask about forging metal. Meng Shu said, "I just don't know how many old craftsmen are left now?" ”

Ruan Mingyu nodded and looked at Li Jingshan.

"After that, we plan to go to Taizhou to have a look." Li Jingshan said, "I have already sent a letter to Senior Brother Ye Qing in Taizhou, explaining the situation to him, and asking him to visit the local area first. ”

"Ye Qing? How do you want to go to Taizhou? Ruan Mingyu frowned and asked. He still remembered that when he was studying art in Tianqiao Hall, Ye Qing had a very good relationship with Li Jingshan. Otherwise, there would not be so many classmates studying art together, Li Jingshan only called Ye Qing a senior brother.

Li Jingshan naturally didn't know that she had inadvertently knocked over the vinegar jar in Ruan Mingyu's heart, and explained seriously: "Senior Brother Ye once told me that their local Taizhou craftsmen had used wire grass ash to add to the silver they smelted, and the metal was dark red, but because there were too many impurities, it was not suitable for jewelry. ”

"I thought, since there have been such attempts among the people, maybe there are other formulas, and it doesn't hurt to look for them."

Ruan Mingyu couldn't argue, so he could only nod his head and ask Meng Shu again, "We still have half a day to go to Changzhou, Ah Shan and I will go to the post house of the Changzhou branch, what about you?" Is it to go home and have a look? ”

Unexpectedly, Meng Shu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can I also open a room in the post house?" I'll go home and see my family, and I'll go back to the inn to stay. She paused for a moment, and hurriedly made up for it, "Let's live in the post house together, and it's easy to move and stand up." ”

Ruan Mingyu smiled disappreciatively, and responded: "Okay, then I'll let the shopkeeper here open a room for you." ”

Meng Shu thanked her attentively, and when she lowered her head, Li Jingshan saw that her face was flushed with embarrassment. She thought of Meng Shu's family background, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

When I arrived at the Changzhou Jingbaoge branch, the shopkeeper came out early to greet him, and after greeting Ruan Mingyu, he saw that Meng Shu was also there, and he greeted him happily, "Miss Meng is well." It's really good that you can settle in the capital now. ”

Meng Shu smiled, took out the prepared gift and stuffed it into the arms of the shopkeeper, "Thank you for your cultivation back then, not a tribute." ”

The shopkeeper couldn't refuse, so he had to take it, "You kid is so affectionate." The gifts you've given me over the years have been richer than those given to your father and brothers. ”

Meng Shu smiled faintly, "You have won the award." "Let's take the gifts I brought from Kyori into the store and divide them among the guys.

It's just that Li Jingshan tasted a hint of crampedness from her smile.

She and Ruan Mingyu followed the shopkeeper into the post house behind the store, Meng Shu followed in, put away the luggage, and went out with two bags of gifts, "I'll go home first, you don't have to wait for me for dinner." ”

The weather was hot, Li Jingshan finished cleaning, and got up from a long nap with Ruan Mingyu, to see that it was dark and there was no dinner, and he was about to greet Ruan Mingyu and go into the store to have a look. Anyway, it's all here, so it's the big shopkeeper who comes down to "inspect the work".

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Meng Shu hurrying in from outside and walking quickly to her room.

Li Jingshan was wondering, didn't she say that she wouldn't come back for dinner, why did she ...... so quickly She was just about to greet her, when she suddenly keenly saw Meng Shu's face faintly flashing with water.

Li Jingshan paused for a moment. also subconsciously shrunk and hid behind the door.

It wasn't until Meng Shu entered the house and locked the door that Li Jingshan dared to open the door and walked out, but stood at the door, looking at Meng Shu's door in a daze.

"What are you thinking?"

A warm palm rested on Li Jingshan's shoulder.

Li Jingshan quickly cleaned up her expression, turned her head and smiled, "I'm thinking, although my father died unjustly, I am actually quite lucky." ”

Ruan Mingyu looked at her and raised her eyebrows.

"Despite this family change, I still have a kind and kind mother and a bright and upright brother. It's also a complete home. For this alone, I'm luckier than many people. ”

Li Jingshan met Ruan Mingyu's bright gaze, her eyes were as tender as water, and she said softly, "Besides, if there is no such accident, you and I will not have a chance to meet, you are the young owner of Jingbao Pavilion, and I am the daughter of the shopkeeper of Si Zhenfang." We might even become enemies. ”

Ruan Mingyu laughed, hugged Li Jingshan's thin waist and walked out, "No, the person I fancy must have something to dig up." Whether you are the shopkeeper's daughter or a down-and-out slave girl, you can't cover your dazzling brilliance. ”

"You! Why are you so confident? Li Jingshan was not convinced.

Ruan Mingyu's hand pinched Li Jingshan's waist restlessly, and said with a smug smile, "You forgot? I was born with a pair of poisonous eyes for treasure appreciation, and no treasure can escape my magic eye. ”

Li Jingshan didn't answer, and stomped Ruan Mingyu's toes. Ruan Mingyu screamed exaggeratedly, but he was even more proud to hold his wife and swaggered out.
