Diary of Prince ------------- Yu
The above is the journal of Prince Yu Fuchabo. This important minister in the late Qing Dynasty, the beloved general of the Empress Dowager Cixi, was obsessed with jade all his life. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, he was ordered to conquer the northwest. During a night march, his troops got lost and strayed into an abandoned woodland. There, they found a high mountain with a stone tablet at the foot of which was inscribed with unknown characters.
Prince Yu loved jade all his life, and he knew that the stele in front of him was by no means an ordinary stone stele, but a rare piece of jade. He instructed his subordinates to pick up their heads and carefully wipe off the outer layer, and as a result, a piece of Xuanyu revealed its true life.
Xuanyu's discovery made him overjoyed, and he knew that there must be an ancient tomb here. He called in the officer who was surveying the terrain, and the name of the officer is no longer known, but it is said that his ancestors had been Feng Shui masters. The prospector took the compass and looked at it for a while, and he told him that there must be ancient noble tombs underneath it, backed by green mountains and facing flowing water.
Prince Yu immediately summoned people to find the entrance to the tomb, and after three days and three nights of difficult searching, they finally found the entrance in the early morning of the fourth day. Prince Yu led his men inside, and no one knew what was going on inside.
At the dawn of the seventh day, Prince Yu walked out of the dense forest covered in blood and holding a blood-red unicorn, and his men died. At that time, there was a dead silence in the forest, as if cut off from the whole world, and Prince Yu glanced back at the dark tomb in panic, and never returned.
Later, Prince Yu returned to his hometown in the northwest, and it is said that he went insane after that. Every night he dreams of bloody corpses and his men. Not long after, Prince Yu died mysteriously, and no one knew the cause of death. The blood jade unicorn also disappeared, and people say that Prince Yu was killed by a powerful ghost in the ancient tomb. But this is just a rumor, a rumor with no basis to speak of.
After that, Prince Yu's mansion was abandoned until after the establishment of the Republic of China, Luo Zhen, the head of the White Gate, bought it. Luo Zhen is the premier antique dealer in the Northwest. There is a saying in the Northwest antique shop, the treasure underground, the eyes of the Luo family. It means that the Luo family is very authoritative in the industry, and as long as it is a treasure that has been identified by the third master of Baimen Luo, it must be a treasure.
Of course, this is only on the surface, but in fact, the ancestors of the Luo family started by inverted buckets, and there is a team of inverted buckets with outstanding skills behind them. Since Luo Zhen took charge, their tentacles have extended into most of China's ancient tombs.
History is always strikingly similar. The third master of Luo, who bought Prince Yu's old mansion, is also the master of Aiyu. In addition to its spaciousness and magnificence, he bought this abandoned mansion for another important reason, which was to find the Blood Jade Qilin that had been missing for many years.
When he was a teenager, he heard his father talk about Prince Yu and the Blood Jade Qilin, and since then he has been obsessed with the Blood Jade. His research on blood jade, so to speak, if he dares to call it second, then absolutely no one in the whole of China will dare to call it first. He is the leader and leader of this jade world, which is well known to everyone.
After Luo Sanye got Prince Yu's ancient mansion, he has been looking for the whereabouts of the Blood Jade Qilin. But the blood jade was as if it had evaporated from the world, without a trace. However, just when he was at a loss, he accidentally found Prince Yu's journal in the secret compartment of the study. It contains all the information about such a treasure.
Luo Sanye was ecstatic, but he didn't let anyone know, and as soon as he had time, he hid in the study to study this precious information in order to find the missing Blood Jade Qilin.
Three months later, he seems to have finally uncovered the mystery of the disappearance of the Blood Jade Qilin. According to his second wife's recollection, he excitedly told him that day that he had found a treasure that shocked the world. The second lady was a country woman, she hadn't read much, and she didn't understand his excitement, and she didn't have the heart to understand it. Because she was in love with a singer at the time, the two had been looking for an opportunity to elope.
That night, the second lady finally found a chance with her lover, but a terrible thing happened that day. When the second lady and her lover met in the garden, they actually found Luo Sanye's body next to the rockery. His eyes were terrified and his face turned pale, as if he had been dead for a long time.
The second lady and her lover were terrified, and they wanted to slip away. Then, Luo Sanye's eldest aunt, Shangguan Hao, brought people over at this time, and they were arrested. At that time, everyone thought that it was the man and woman in front of them who killed Luo Sanye, because the evidence was so conclusive.
Shangguan Hao quickly alarmed the police station, and the forensic doctor came that night. But the results of the autopsy surprised many people, Luo Sanye did not have a trace of scars on his body, and there were no symptoms of poisoning. In the end, the forensic doctor gave an opinion, and Luo Sanye was scared to death.
What did Luo Sanye scare to death about? Nobody knows, and people don't care much. Because everyone's focus is on the man and woman at this time. The little wife eloped with her lover, but was unexpectedly discovered, and the two murdered the unlucky husband together. The reason is sufficient, the story is very exciting, not only the people of Lanzhou are convinced of this, but even the Luo family thinks that this is understandable.
As a result, the man and woman who were planning to elope were soon sentenced, and they were to be executed as soon as September passed. No one cried out for them, except themselves.
The news of Luo Sanye's murder by his little wife appeared on the front pages of newspapers, and an antique master was killed, which seems to be understandable. For several days in a row, people were talking about this incredible case, and no one cared that Luo Sanye's cold body was still locked up in the coroner's room of the police department.
Later, people gradually lost interest in this strange and strange case, and the Luo family took back Luo Sanye's body and prepared to let him be buried in peace.
Luo Sanye's funeral was handled by the eldest aunt Shangguan Hao and the eldest daughter Luo Wanyi, who were nervous and busy arranging the mourning hall and entertaining mourners. But within three days, Luo Wanyi fell ill. She was born a medicine basket and couldn't stand the hard work, and it was really difficult for her to do her father's funeral these days. So, she handed over this important task to her husband Shangguan Hao.
The Shangguan family is a famous family in Lanzhou, doing pawnshop business, with strong financial resources, and friendship with the military, so it can be called the rich man of Lanzhou City. Old man Shangguan and Luo Sanye are close friends. The two had traveled the world together when they were young, and later returned home together to inherit the property. Since then, the two have been working in their respective industries, but they have not estranged their fateful friendship, but have formed a family of children and daughters.
Shangguan Hao is young and promising, a talent, and can speak well, so Luo Sanye is very proud of this uncle. With the prestige of Luo Sanye and the face of the Shangguan family, the people who came to mourn almost broke through the threshold of the Luo family. Those who have friendships and those who don't have friendships have been scurrying around in the Luo family like headless flies these days, the reason is very simple, only weddings and funerals are the best time to make friends.
Shangguan Hao is a practical person, although he is young and supported by the Shangguan family, but after all, his prestige is not enough. So, he naturally seized this opportunity to show his face and displayed his multi-faceted housekeeping talents. The shopkeepers of each family, so they watched Shangguan's aunt arrange Master Luo's funeral in an orderly manner, who wouldn't praise him?
As a result, Master Luo has not yet come out of the funeral, and Shangguan Hao's limelight has overshadowed the fame of this Northwest antique tycoon.
"Shangguan is young and promising, and his future life is terrifying."
"The young man is better than the blue."
Shangguan Hao listened to such compliments four or five thousand times a day. But he didn't get bored at all, and often was modest and smiling, and the person who spoke thought it was really like that.
Half a month has passed, and Luo Sanye will be buried in seven days. On this day, Guan Hao was meditating in the study, he had received too many people in the past few days, and even his jaw was about to dislocate due to laughter. He took a sip of tea, carefully rubbed his sore jaw bone, and then rubbed it while closing his eyes to recuperate.
At this time, Uncle Zhong, the housekeeper, walked in and told him that the second lady, Luo Wanqi, was back.
Shangguan Hao was taken aback, didn't Luo Wanqi study in the UK? How did you come back all of a sudden? He hurriedly straightened his robe and hurried out of the door.
When Shangguan Hao arrived at the mourning hall, the second lady of the Luo family had already cried in the hall. There was also her sister Luo Wanyi kneeling beside her. Luo Wanqi saw her brother-in-law and sister, and she couldn't stop being sad and cried.
The sisters cried for a long time, but Shangguan Hao finally persuaded them and went back to the room together.
"How did my sister know about her father's death?" Shangguan Hao asked. This sister-in-law, who had been studying medicine in England, sent a letter to England, but he never came back so soon.
Luo Wanqi rubbed her red eyes and told her sister and brother-in-law that she had been on the ship back to China in two months and planned to go to Shanghai to stay first, so she did not inform her family in time. Who knows, as soon as she arrived in Shanghai three days ago, she received a letter from the United Kingdom, only to know that something had happened to her father. So, I immediately bought a ticket to go home for the funeral.
After she finished speaking, she paused and asked, "Why is Dad so good... He sobbed again.
Shangguan Hao and his wife exchanged glances, and then told Luo Wanqi about the murder of Luo Sanye by the second aunt.
"Second aunt? How so? Luo Wanqi was stunned when she heard the news. In her memory, although the second aunt was not virtuous, she was good to them, how could she suddenly kill her father?
"A woman of unknown origin can't do anything!" Luo Wanyi said viciously, "When my father married her, I knew it was a disaster, you see now... She took her sister's hand and began to cry again.
The sudden bad news hit Luo Wanqi one after another, and she felt physically and mentally exhausted. My sister and brother-in-law saw that she was tired from the journey and asked her to rest. She insisted on refusing to go and go to the wake for her father. The sisters were in a stalemate for a long time, but Wanyi couldn't resist her sister, so she had to agree.
It was late at night, and Ah Xiang, the maid who was guarding the side, had already fallen asleep. Wanqi knelt alone in front of the spirit, with mixed feelings in her heart. She and her sister have lost their mother since they were young, and the sisters were raised by their father. Three years ago, she went to England to study medicine, and when she parted, she told her father that she would definitely cure her father's old cold leg when she returned from school. But who knows, it was the last time he and his father met.
The son wants to raise but the parent is not there, this is probably the saddest thing in the world. When Wanqi thought of this, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Why did the second aunt kill her father, was it because of a play? Wanqi found this unbelievable.
The clock struck three times, and it was already three o'clock in the morning. There was silence all around, except for a few terrible screams from the night owls. Wanqi was half asleep, and suddenly she seemed to see a vague figure in front of her. She looked up and was startled, "Dad... β
Luo Sanye described it as withered, and looked at her with a smile and love. Wanqi seemed to forget that her father had died, so she jumped up and rushed over, hugging her father tightly. Luo Sanye touched his daughter's head with a warm palm.
"Dad, tell me, did the second aunt really kill you?" Wanqi cried.
A wry smile flashed on Luo Sanye's face and he shook his head.
"What's going on? Who harmed you? Ah, you tell me that my daughter will get justice for you. β
Luo Sanye still didn't speak, he pointed to the ground and wrote four words with bloodstains. Wanqi stepped forward to take a look at the "Blood Jade Qilin". She felt strange in her heart, and when she asked her father what to do again, Luo Sanye suddenly disappeared.
At this time, there was a noise in the courtyard, and Wanqi was awake. She looked up and saw that it was already dawn.
In the morning, Wanqi had dinner and hurried to the mourning hall. As soon as she walked to the gate of the Moon Cave, a lot of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared in the courtyard. She was wondering, only to see her brother-in-law Shangguan Hao come out of the Chongzheng Hall with a smile on his face. Then, a young officer in military uniform appeared in the courtyard.
Standing far away, Wanqi couldn't hear what her brother-in-law and the officer were saying. But judging from Shangguan Hao's nodding attitude, she knew that that person must have a great future.
"Who's that man?" She watched her brother-in-law and the officer disappear into the main hall, and turned her head to ask Ah Xiang, who was following her.
Ah Xiang told her with a look of adoration that that person was the governor of the Lanzhou garrison area, Fei Henan, known as the iron-blooded young marshalγγγγγγ
