Chapter 296: Dong Yu Zampu (2)
"But if it's a ghost, how can it be in the market in broad daylight?" Dong Yu, who gradually eased up, questioned the end.
"There's something strange about this. It stands to reason that the sun is strong during the day, and the ghosts dare not come out, unless~~"
"Unless what?"
"Unless the jade dealer I met in the bazaar wasn't a ghost, he was a ghost pretending to be a human!" Mo Wuwen thought for a moment and said.
"Why?" Dong Yu was confused by Mo Wuwen's words.
"The jade dealer deliberately said next to me (uncle. Hetian jade, good goods and cheap prices) attracted my attention, and then asked me to go with him to "Yuecheng Inn" to buy jade. ”
"I don't understand what you mean."
"The jade dealer I met at the bazaar should know the secret between us and the jade dealer who died in "Yuecheng Inn", and wanted to lead me to "Yuecheng Inn", I don't know what he wants to do."
"That's not easy, I'll send troops to arrest all the people in "Yuecheng Inn", just see if he says it." Dong Yu said with a horizontal face.
"Zamp. If your army is dispatched, they won't know where to flee before they reach the inn. ”
"Heavenly Master. You say, I'll do what I have to do. ”
"But, but I can't remember how the jade dealer died in the first place, why he died, and who died at that time?"
"Heavenly Master, you don't remember anything that happened in "Yuecheng Inn"?"
Mo Wuwen deliberately pretended to be contemplative, and after a pause, he said, "I can't remember, I really can't remember the scene at that time." I only remember that he was associated with the bluestone under the Lock Dragon Well. ”
"Fu Ye's death was also an accident, if it wasn't for his insistence, how could there be that result." ,
"How to say it? Zamp. "From the conversation with Dong Yu, I didn't hear about it, at least I knew that the jade dealer's name was Fu Ye.
Dong Yu recounts the past (Zhang Tianshi originally traveled to Qingtang City in casual clothes, wandering around the bustling Dongcheng Bazaar to find what he liked. In the market, the silverware of Daqin, the carpets of Persia, and the treasures of the Western Regions such as luminous bi, bright moon pearls, horrifying chickens, rhinoceros, corals, tiger spirits, colored glass, Langji, Zhu Dan, Qingbi and so on are countless.
Zhang Tianshi was walking among the dazzling shops, and suddenly a voice came from behind him, "Uncle." Hetian jade, good goods and low price. Mo Wuwen turned around and saw a man in Han Minsheng attire, holding an ordinary stone in his dirty hand, almost reaching in front of Zhang Tianshi's nose.
The man may not have taken a bath for a long time, and the smell of sweat on his body was thick Zhang Tianshi frowned, glanced at the stones, ignored them, and continued to walk forward.
"Uncle. Hetian jade, good goods and low price. But the man was very persistent in chasing after the Heavenly Master and asked.
But these Hetian jade goods are too ordinary, Zhang Tianshi shook his head with a smile and said, "The jade color is very ordinary,"
"Uncle. Just give some money to buy a cake to eat, I haven't had a full meal for three days. "The man is indeed a little weak when he speaks.
When Zhang Tianshi heard the man say this, he took out some broken silver from his arms and stuffed it into the hand of the man holding the jade, and said, "You go to buy some food with this little money, and you can keep the stone for yourself and continue to sell." ”
When the man saw the broken silver, he hurriedly grabbed it and stuffed it into his arms, "Fu Ye, I thanked the uncle, so much silver is not only enough for me to buy food, but also enough for me to pay the money I owe for the inn room." Thank you, thank you, uncle, this is for you~" After Fu Ye finished speaking, he took out a few pieces of blue-green Hetian jade from his arms and handed them to the Heavenly Master.
The turquoise jade was stained with dirt and dust, and Fu Ye wiped the jade on his clothes when he saw Zhang Tianshi's hesitant eyes. Suddenly, the green jade glowed with luster like tender green jade, and like the young buds of the branches in spring, it was fresh and elegant.
With a bang, the Persians standing near Zhang Tianshi in the bazaar saw the green mangs of the green jade and immediately rushed over and shouted to the heavenly master, "I will give me five taels of silver!" ”
The Han people next to the Persians saw the green jade and immediately increased the price: "Give me the jade, and I will give me ten taels of silver." ”
"Fifteen taels!" The Persians roared at the Han Chinese.
"Twenty taels!" Not to be outdone, the Han Chinese yelled at the Persians.
"Twenty-five taels!" The Persians were a little anxious and shouted loudly.
"One hundred taels!" The Han looked at the Persians with contempt.
"Get out! Are you looking for death, deliberately going against me, and grabbing goods with me! The man in Persian attire immediately drew a scimitar from his waist and threatened the Han Chinese.
"You are the ones who are impatient and dare to make trouble in Qingtang City. No matter who makes trouble in Qingtang City, the heavier ones will be executed and the lighter ones will be imprisoned! When the soldiers of the Persians saw the Persians and the Han people quarreling, they immediately rushed over with knives and guns to separate them, and Qingtang City relied on good security management to attract merchants from inside and outside the Western Regions to come to trade, and as soon as the market was disturbed, the soldiers would immediately come to stop the riots.
The leading commander wore a shiny Qingtang armor and said to Zhang Tianshi, who was still holding the green jade in his hand, "What's the matter, how do you want to sell two families?" ”
Fu Ye hurriedly stepped forward to explain clearly, "Commander, it's purely these two people who are self-inflicted. No one said that they were going to sell the goods, and it was the two of them who were driving up the price. ”
When the commander heard Fu Ye say this, he was a little curious about what was worth fighting for, so he asked Zhang Tianshi, "What about the things?" ”
Zhang Tianshi displayed his palm, and the blue-green jade appeared in front of the commander's eyes. Although it is said that green jade is as green as jadeite, it is a rare jade for the commander who has seen countless treasures, and it is not a treasure in the world. The commander couldn't figure out why they were fighting to the death for Qingyu.
"I'll give you a hundred and fifty taels of silver." The Han man still didn't give up, staring straight at the green jade in Zhang Tianshi's hand.
The more the Han people said this, the more curious Zhang Tianshi became, no matter how delicate the texture of the cyan Hetian jade was, no matter how green the color was, it was not worth one hundred and fifty taels of silver, could it be that the green jade had any unknown secrets?
Fu Ye was dumbfounded by what he heard, one hundred and fifty taels to buy a few small green jade seeds, is this person crazy. Fu Ye hurriedly winked at Zhang Tianshi and said, "Uncle." Even if that master is so sincere, it is not as good as your adult beauty to sell the green jade seeds to him, we have it~" Fu Ye suddenly found that he almost opened his mouth, and immediately closed his mouth and did not speak.
Zhang Tianshi thought about it, but still politely refused the high price offered by the Han people, and said: "The gifts given by others, Zhang will not use them for money." ”
"Uncle. It's okay, it's okay, what I gave you is yours, you can sell it, you can sell it. If you don't sell it, I'll sell it for you. Fu Ye really regretted giving the green jade to Zhang Tianshi, and immediately stretched out his hand to the green jade in Zhang Tianshi's hand. If Fu Ye had known that Qingyu was worth so much money, he would have sold Qingyu a long time ago, so that he would not have been poor for so long, unable to pay the rent of the inn, and not have enough to eat.
However, what made Fu Ye strange was that the moment the green jade was picked up from Zhang Tianshi's hand, the green jade instantly changed from crystal clear emerald green to colorless, becoming an ordinary cyan Hetian jade! How could this be, when he wiped the green jade with his clothes just now, it also had a heart-warming luster, but now it suddenly lost its luster and turned into a lifeless green jade.
The Han man was also shocked when he saw that the green jade in Fu Ye's hand suddenly stopped shining, but he was also glad that he didn't buy the green jade at a high price, otherwise he would have lost a lot. The Han people's puzzled eyes continued to cast on the green jade in Fu Ye's hand, and after a few seconds, the Han people saw that the green jade still did not improve, so they stopped talking and quietly slipped away while people were not paying attention.
Fu Ye saw that the green jade had lost its luster, and the Han man who had to spend one hundred and fifty taels of silver to buy the green jade did not know where to go. I just kept regretting why I didn't sell Qingyu in time, and now Qingyu has become an ordinary bluestone.
Thinking of this, Fu Ye stuffed the bluestone in his hand back into Zhang Tianshi's hand, but the moment the bluestone touched Zhang Tianshi's hand, the bluestone regained its emerald green light, and turned into a crystal clear green jade seed. Fu Ye was stunned by the scene in front of him, and he was speechless.
"Let's go." Zhang Tianshi thought to himself that the market was crowded with people, and as soon as there was a movement, a large crowd of people poured into the crowd to see the excitement. However, Zhang Tianshi was very curious about the origin of the bluestone, and why it would lose its luster in other people's hands after passing through his hands and regain its luster in his hands. And all this may be answered from Fu Ye, so he wants to take Fu Ye to a remote place to ask for clarification.
And the commander of the thousand was also surprised to see the dark green bluestone regain its emerald green luster in Zhang Tianshi's hands. The commander looked at the backs of Zhang Tianshi and Fu Ye leaving, and whispered to his soldiers, "Follow them and see what the situation is." ”
"Uncle. Where are you going? Fu Ye walked out of the lively bazaar and came to a remote and sparsely populated place, and when he saw that Zhang Tianshi was still following him, he asked.
"Zhang Qingyuan in the Dongming Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. Where does Brother Tai Qingyu come from? Zhang Tianshi also got straight to the point and asked Fu Ye directly.
"Uncle Zhang. Of course, Hetian jade was picked up from Hetian, and I was hungry and I had to go buy something. Fu Ye said as he hurriedly turned left and left. Fu Ye just wanted to leave the Uncle Zhang in front of him as soon as possible, the green jade seeds were so valuable, he had to find a few more to sell and make a fortune. However, Uncle Zhang can no longer be allowed to follow and touch the green jade seeds, otherwise the green jade will lose its luster again.
"Hey, hey, wait~~" Zhang Tianshi shouted Fu Ye's back, thinking that Hetian is so big, you said that Qingyu Seed picked you up in Hetian, isn't this equivalent to saying in vain? So Zhang Tianshi quickly chased after him.
"Help~~~" Fu Ye ran out of the alley and panted, and fell in front of Zhang Tianshi with a stumble. And the blue-haired, red-eyed, curly-bearded Persian who had just been seen in the bazaar chased after him with a scimitar and shouted, "Look where you're going!" ”
Zhang Tianshi saw that the situation was wrong, and the sword came out of the sheath with the sound of brushing. The cold blade pointed at the Persians who were close at hand and said, "How dare you be so bold in broad daylight and hurt people with a knife!" ”
"It's you again!" When the Persians saw Zhang Tianshi, their faces became more and more annoyed.
