Chapter 301: It's hard to tell the truth from the fake
Chapter 301 is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood
"It's really strange that the grass people don't know, originally those old customers should be knowledgeable characters, but now it seems that they are all useless straw bales, with some money in their hands, but they have never seen the world."
Liu Ziwang knelt on the ground, trembling, talking about these things, he still had palpitations, if this thing was really sold in his hands again, he would make a lot of money, but he was afraid that he had a life to make money and no money to spend, and he really asked the government to find out, he couldn't argue, and he couldn't wash away the suspicion on his body.
At this time, Guo Minan stood in front of his face, and he never dared to look up at Guo Min'an, as if he was afraid of meeting Guo Min'an's eyes.
Liu Ziwang took a deep breath, paused slightly, and called the adult again, before continuing to say: "This thing has been in the hands of the grass people for almost two months, and the more the grass people think about it, the more they feel that something is wrong. ”
He said, and shook his head again: "The grass people have been doing this business for more than ten years, and they have followed their father into the industry since they were teenagers. This thing is of excellent quality, no matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be unsellable, but no one is willing to buy it, and the old customers in the hands of the grass people are all rich masters, who spend a lot of money on weekdays, and they don't count the amount of silver, but this thing is really evil, and it has been eyed by seven or eight old customers, but no one is willing to buy it, and then ......"
He paused suddenly, and Guo Minan subconsciously raised his eyebrows: "What happened later?" ”
Liu Ziwang shook his head again: "It was half a month ago, there was a customer in the north of the city, who had seen this thing, and told the grass people that he was afraid that it would be bad on this lettering, and a good piece of jade, and the thing was also a good product, but it was engraved with the word, and this word was not good, and the number of the county lord of Guangyang Wangfu collided." Adults, you probably know that people who play jade, or people who collect jade, have such a taboo, but where the words are engraved, they are people's objects, even if they change hands, no one is willing to accept them, after all, everyone believes in an evil one, saying that the jade owner is very expensive, but it is also very evil, it is a thing that recognizes the owner, once the words are engraved, no matter how to change hands, it is not good for the buyer. In this way, the grass people can be regarded as making trouble, and they mainly smash on these two words. ”
As far as he said this, he raised his head slightly, and saw that Guo Minan didn't look at him, just blindly lowered his head and looked at the red silk in his hand, he pursed his lips slightly, this time is no longer as panicked as when he first entered the door, but he was able to ease his breath, and calmly told Guo Minan the story of what happened in his hand in the past two months.
Guo Minan was silent when he heard him, but he actually thought about what he said carefully, but he was mocking in his heart.
What Liu Ziwang said is not wrong, those so-called old customers, there is silver and silver, but they are really unknowledgeable, the best one he is looking for is still somewhat knowledgeable, knowing that this inscription collided with the county lord of Yuanle, but no one dared to think that this thing came from the royal family, and it was simply the piece of the county lord of Yuanle.
It is said that Liu Ziwang has seen the good things for so many years, and when he arrived, he almost didn't plant it on this jade pendant.
Guo Min'an's eyelids jumped suddenly, and he took his eyes off the red silk wrapped in the jade pendant, and turned to Liu Ziwang.
Liu Ziwang saw him sweeping over at a glance, and he was still subconsciously nervous: "My lord? ”
"Haven't you thought that this thing is the domain of the Lord of Yuanle?"
Liu Ziwang's breath stagnated, and he thought straight in his mouth that the adults were clear, so he bowed again: "Rao is the grass people's good things, no matter how many good things the grass people have seen, the royal things, the things in the palace, the grass people have never seen it in their lives, who dares to think that this thing is the county lord's mother's, who dares to think, one day, it will be lost to the people, and it will be transferred to the grass people?" ”
This is not false, he stays in this Qizhou City every day, and he hasn't gone out to see it for most of his life, and the family's business has been taken care of for more than ten years.
Guo Min'an reluctantly accepted his rhetoric, and also thought about it, if Liu Ziwang knew that this was the property of the county lord of Yuanle early on, and chose to take this jade pendant to the lobby two months later to confess everything, it would be better to be honest from the beginning, he honestly handed over this jade pendant to the yamen, who found the thirty miles to be killed, as long as he said it clearly, everything has nothing to do with him, the two thousand taels of silver he spent, the prefect yamen will also make up for it and compensate him, no matter what, it is a sure profit. can still make a good name in the yamen, there is really no need to hide it for two months, and now that the things can't change hands, they choose to go to the yamen to report the case, but they entangle themselves and can't figure it out.
"Go on." Guo Minan touched the tip of his nose with his backhand, and lost the excitement and shock when he first saw this jade pendant, this time he turned around, but he didn't go to the high platform, but just sat on the official hat chair on the left-hand side, still staring at Liu Ziwang coldly.
Liu Ziwang replied: "Later, the grass people were thinking, if it really doesn't work, find someone to polish this lettering, but they are entangled in their hearts." Most of the customers who buy jade know jade, and people always say that jade is deep, and those masters have silver but refuse to be fools, so most of them will not be easy to start. If this jade passes a hand, and then to start grinding, it must be visible, and the carving of this jade pendant is indeed a rare top grade, if it is really polished, the grass people are also distressed to death, anyway, it is another one, two thousand taels of silver, and I want to make up for it, so this thing has been put in the hands of the grass people for half a month, and I have not been ruthless to take it to the master to polish. ”
He said and lowered his head and counted what it was, and when he was clear, he raised his eyes and looked over: "About six days ago, the patron in the north of the city came to the grass people, saying that he had a friend from Waifu, a person who loves jade, and he had mentioned this piece of jade to the old man before, and the old man didn't seem to mind the inscription on it, saying that he wanted to see it, and if the thing was really good, he was willing to buy it." ”
Guo Minan sneered: "You brought something to meet someone's house?" ”
Liu Ziwang swallowed his saliva: "I finally met a master who didn't mind the inscription on the jade pendant, and the grass people also thought, this business can be done without guarantee, and this bad thing is better to get rid of it......"
He said as if his heart was weak, and his voice gradually weakened, and when the words fell, he saw that Guo Min'an was no longer asking, and secretly glanced at it, and realized that Guo Min'an was waiting for his next words, so he settled down and replied: "If it weren't for seeing the master, the grass people are still in the dark now, maybe they really took the jade pendant to find the master and polish the inscription, if it is really like this, the grass people will die, and it will be difficult to forgive their sins!" ”
Guo Minan immediately understood.
The red silk was tightened by him, and even his eyebrows were crushed together: "Did he tell you that this is the thing of the Lord of Yuanle County, from the royal family, and it was given to the Guangyang Mansion by His Majesty's high grace back then?" ”
Liu Ziwang nodded hurriedly, but shook his head quickly: "There is still an inside story here, it's not that the grass people delayed it for a few days after learning the truth before they came to the Yamen to report the case. ”
Guo Minan didn't think about it so much, sure enough, something passed through his hand, he was very scared, and he replied cautiously, for fear of being charged with unclear charges, and then took him to ask the guilt together.
So Guo Minan sighed: "You just have to say, you don't have to rush to take yourself out, whether you are innocent or not, the official has his own decision." ”
Liu Ziwang nodded and said yes, and pain flashed in his eyes, as if he was afraid of putting himself in: "That old man is probably really a rich man, and after this incident, the grass people are also determined, otherwise he will not be able to recognize it, this is the county lord's mother's thing." Six days ago, when the patron of the grass people came, he said that he wanted to take things away, the old man had a strange temper, he did not easily see the living, how many years he had collected things outside, he asked a friend to be a middleman, unless it was really to be negotiated, otherwise he would not see the living. ”
"You just gave it away?" Guo Min'an was interested, and raised his eyebrows and looked over, "This is two thousand taels of silver in exchange, aren't you afraid of dropping the bag?" ”
"Who says you're not afraid!" Liu Ziwang gritted his teeth, "Although it is an old customer, over the years, he has not bought things from us for thirty miles, but after all, it is the hearts of the people who are separated from the belly, and the grass people open the door to do business, and they have never had the heart of harming people, but this heart of letting people go, I dare not let go for a day, especially in this pawn shop, but if I slack off a little bit, I look away, and the big amount of silver is lost." So at that time, the grass people were reluctant, and this thing was shown to him again, whether it was good or not, he didn't know, why did he take it from the grass people? The grass people really didn't want this thing to leave him, for fear of dropping his bag. ”
Probably this is the so-called businessman's heart.
Guo Minan didn't know what to say for a while, but what he could be sure of was that after that, for some reason, Liu Ziwang still let go of his hand and showed the jade pendant to the man.
He had no intention of asking again, to put it bluntly, it was just that Liu Ziwang wanted to make up for the silver as soon as possible, and he didn't want to smash things in his hands, two thousand taels of silver was not a small amount after all, and if he lost this money, this year's business might not be in vain.
"It was the man who told you that this is something from the palace, but why did you believe it?"
Liu Ziwang seemed to be surprised, and looked over in a daze: "Why don't the grass people believe it?" My lord, what good is it for him to lie to me about this? If he wanted to deceive the grass people to get rid of it as soon as possible, in order to lower the price, and buy the jade pendant, the grass people might hesitate for a while, suspecting that they had colluded to deceive people. But when people returned the things, they said in a dignified manner, it is best to take this jade pendant to the government office to report the case quickly, in order to get rid of the suspicion on their bodies, this thing is in the hands of the grass people, it is very difficult to change hands and go out, once the government is alarmed, the grass people are capital crimes! My lord, why don't the grass people believe it? ”
yes, why not? The man was full of food, so he would use this kind of words to deceive people, and he spoke early, and persuaded Liu Ziwang to report the case to the yamen as soon as possible, if the thing is fake, it is not the property of the county lord of Yuanle, and it is in the yamen, at most it is just a farce, and it will not have any impact on Liu Ziwang, but he, how many years of friends may also have to make a fuss about this.
Speaking of which, whether this thing is true or not, Guo Minan can't take it for sure, so he can only take it to the Qi Wangfu and ask His Royal Highness the King of Qi to look at it before he can decide, but Liu Ziwang said that he has a nose and eyes, and it is impossible for Guo Minan to let him go home directly.
Guo Min'an thought about it again, about half a cup of tea, he stood up in Liu Ziwang's puzzled gaze, and when he walked past Liu Ziwang's side, he stopped his steps: "I'm afraid I will wronged you, wait for the official above this hall, the thing you brought, the official has no chance to see it, so it's true or false, the official has to take this thing to the palace of the king of Qi, if the thing is fake, you take it back and do your business as usual, the official only needs the name of your patron, check clearly, what is his friend's heart, I want you to come to the court to make such a farce, but if it's true-"
He suppressed his voice, and Liu Ziwang became nervous again for no reason.
Guo Minan saw it in his eyes, raised his left hand, and patted Liu Ziwang on the shoulder: "You don't need to be nervous, it's black and white, you can tell the difference sooner or later." But if the thing is true, you have to cooperate with the government, where does this thing come from, and how many people have passed by, you have to explain it clearly, you know? ”
Liu Ziwang's heart settled down a little, as long as he didn't use this thing to cure his crimes, then everything would be easy to say, so he hurriedly responded and said that he knew, but he also stood up slowly, and watched Guo Min'an go out of the lobby without mentioning it.
Guo Min'an naturally explained to the officials under him when he went out, especially when he asked someone to inform Zheng Ze.
After two months of tracking things, there are no clues, no clues, and now Liu Ziwang suddenly jumped out, and appeared in front of everyone's eyes with this thing, and the rhetoric was leaky, and he almost couldn't find any fault, but the more this was the case, the more difficult it was for Guo Minan to feel at ease, and asked someone to tell Zheng Ze, and asked Zheng Ze to confess, and the four gates of Qizhou City were strictly guarded, and pedestrians had to be carefully checked, and if there was any suspicious person, he would take it down immediately, and he didn't believe it, and the person who suddenly came out and mentioned Liu Ziwang was really just a coincidence? It doesn't appear soon, it doesn't appear late, but at this time, it appears in the city of Qizhou - I want to talk about "{?$article_title?}" with more like-minded people ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
