Chapter 155: Zhong's Bottle Sees the Light of Day Again
The guy in the wine shop and the shopkeeper Du are not uncles and nephews, but because he has been following the shopkeeper Du for a long time, the shopkeeper Du trusts him very much, so he calls him a nephew.
This guy is also very worthy of this uncle, and has been helping him do some shady things, including colluding with Chai Qing and others to rob tombs.
Mr. Du has reaped a lot of benefits from it.
Last time, Hou sent Lu Bu not only to capture Chai Qing, but also to take away the antiquities stolen by him and another accomplice, among them, a mandarin duck bottle from the Later Han Dynasty, which surprised Hou Ji.
As the name suggests, the so-called mandarin duck bottle is a pair, called male and female. The male, long and mighty, crystal clear; The female is thick and small, charming and moving.
In the Later Han Dynasty, the manufacturing of wine bottles has reached an unprecedented heyday, and there are countless kinds of fancies, but it is rare to find such fine products as this mandarin duck bottle. Therefore, after thousands of years, the value of this bottle can be imagined.
Hou Ji brought this bottle into the capital.
As for what happened after Hou Ji entered Beijing, this guy didn't know, but he knew one thing, that is, after Feng Bo took over Hou Ji, the first thing he did was to release Du Shopkeeper and Chai Qing, and asked the two of them to work together to find another thing in the Mandarin Duck Bottle.
This Chai Qing lived up to his expectations and finally found another mandarin duck bottle, but because of a disagreement with the shopkeeper Du on the price, he was killed by the shopkeeper Du.
The guy originally thought that this matter had come to an end, and he and the shopkeeper Du could run the wine store and store with peace of mind, but he didn't think about it......
"The one who robbed the mandarin duck bottle halfway up, but you instructed it?" After listening to the guy's confession, Bao Zheng asked.
The man's body shook.
"The big and the big are clear, and the villains don't dare to go against the shopkeeper Du, Feng Bo and others." The guy kept wiping the cold sweat on his face, "Those people were originally people from the side of Huang Shen, the king of Tiande, but because this person was captured by the Hou family last time and died in prison, these people were bent on revenge, so they found the villain." The villain was also careless for a while, so he revealed the news that Feng Bo was going to Beijing to send treasures to them. ”
Bao Zheng looked at Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's brows tightened.
Unexpectedly, after he was ordered to capture Huang Shen last time and rescue Cao Jiangxian and Diao Chan, these people were still thieves and did things like robbing treasures halfway.
"Do you know where those people are now?" Bao Zheng asked again.
The guy thought about it.
"The villain just heard that these people are still gathering in Majiaji, because there are many ambushes set up in that town, and everyone has extremely powerful skills. Even if Feng Bo knew where they were, he didn't dare to attack easily. The villain knew that if this matter was known to Shopkeeper Du and Feng Bo, he would not spare the villain, so he planned to come back to get some things, and also rushed to Majiaji to take refuge. ”
Bao Zheng snorted.
"This official has long expected that the mandarin duck bottle will not be in your hands, and has concluded that you will come back tonight."
"The adults are wonderful, and the villains admire."
Bao Zheng nodded to Xu Ba and motioned for him to take the guy to the other rooms first.
"My lord, the villain thinks that this case has already seen its first eyebrows." Xue Meng said, "It must have been Li Hui who got a mandarin duck bottle from Hou Ji and forced him to hand over another one, Hou Ji couldn't take it out, and was killed by Li Hui, and then, Li Hui used this to blackmail Feng Bo and others, which caused many things." ”
"This case is never going to be that simple." Bao Zheng just smiled faintly. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Lu Bu and asked, "Does Tang Zhuangshi know the origin of this mandarin duck bottle?" ”
Lu Bu was slightly surprised.
The title of Mandarin Duck Bottle was unfamiliar to Lu Bu, but he vaguely remembered his other name, Zhong's Bottle.
Zhong - Yuan Shu is the title of the emperor.
At that time, Yuan Shu went against the will of heaven and proclaimed himself emperor, which was despised by the princes of the world, and all the princes came to ask for it.
However, there are always some villains who are afraid of its power to curry favor, including Liu Bei, the big-eared thief who is highly respected by later generations.
Liu Bei was living in Pei County at that time, and tended to be attached to Lu Bu's side, intending to collude with Yuan Shu to try to take Xuzhou.
Among the congratulatory gifts he gave to Yuan Shu, there was such a pair of wine bottles, which Liu Bei called Zhong's bottles, which means the bottles of Yuan Shu.
The Bottler - Zunya.
It's just that the good times didn't last long, and after Yuan Shu hurriedly became the emperor for two years, he was defeated by Lu Bu and Cao Cao together, and so far, the whereabouts of this pair of Zhong's bottles are also unknown.
Lu Bu is still not sure that this pair of mandarin duck bottles is the original Zhong's bottle.
However, since he saw Chai Qing playing with a wine bottle in the wine shop that day, Lu Bu vaguely felt familiar, and he thought that it should be this bottle.
If Yuan Shu hadn't brought this pair of wine bottles to the grave after his death, then there was only one possibility - this bottle had fallen into the hands of someone else.
It is not surprising that this bottle has been rediscovered after thousands of years.
Now, Bao Zheng suddenly asked if he knew about this bottle, and Lu Bu couldn't understand what his intentions were for a while.
"The villain is stupid, and he really doesn't know what this bottle is." Lu Bu hesitated for a moment and replied.
Bao Zheng smiled and didn't ask more.
At this time, Xu Ba had also settled the guy and walked back.
"The three of you once went to this Majiaji to arrest Huang Shen, do you have the guts to go again?" Bao Zheng asked.
Lu Bu smiled coldly, feeling very amused by Lord Bao's question.
"There are no soldiers and horses around this official, and one person needs to be left to protect this official, everything can only depend on the three of you." Bao Zheng explained.
Xue Meng gave up his hand.
"My lord, just rest assured, Tang Zhuangshi's short halberd is invincible, and the villain and Xu Ba can also protect themselves in the enemy formation, and it is expected that they will be able to recapture the treasure bottle here."
Bao Zheng nodded.
"However, before that, when the shopkeeper Nadu is arrested first and convicted in the name of killing Chai Qing, this shop can also be temporarily requisitioned as a temporary government office. As for Feng Bo and the others, the official still needs to use them, and after retrieving the treasure bottle, they will be disposed of. ”
"The villain understands." Xue Meng and Xu Ba replied at the same time.
Lu Bu didn't say anything.
"I can't find this guy, Shopkeeper Du will be back soon, you can wait outside as soon as possible." Bao Zheng glanced at Lu Bu and commanded.
The three of them hid again in the same corner where they had been arrested.
When it was about to dawn, the shopkeeper Du really came back.
When Lu Bu and the others pounced out, twisted his hands, and escorted him to Lord Bao's side, the shopkeeper Du didn't know what was going on. I thought it was Feng Bo who repented and asked someone to kill him.
With that guy's explanation, this shopkeeper Du no longer has the courage to deny.
"That old tomb has been visited by Chai Qing and others many times, as for who is buried in the tomb, the villain really doesn't know, only knows that there are many treasures in the tomb." Shopkeeper Du faced Lu Bu's questioning and kept trembling.
"Please also ask for your permission, after catching the gang of thieves and retrieving the treasure bottle, the villain wants to go to the old tomb to find out." Lu Bu said to Bao Zheng.
Bao Zheng seemed to have already guessed Lu Bu's intentions, and smiled secretly.
"Since Tang Zhuangshi has this intention, it is not easy for the official to stop him, and at that time, the official can also accompany the strong man to go together."
"Thank you, sir." Lu Bu said.
