The shopkeeper's face was indifferent, and it was obvious that even if he didn't turn over the booklet, he remembered it clearly.

He dropped the booklet one by one, pushed it in front of Wu Jiang, and reached out and touched his beard, "Lord Yushitai is our old customer here, and this real willow was bought by him and given to Miss Yang Zhi in the Twelve Oiran of the Furong Building." ”

The shopkeeper said, with a look of envy.

Who in Bianjing City doesn't know that this Yushitai Wang Xiwang married the only daughter of a wealthy businessman as his wife, and soon gave birth to two sons in a row after three years.

There is a rumor in the market that Mrs. Wang saw that her two sons stood still, brought two bowls of heir soup, one bowl for you and one for me, and the husband and wife drank a glass of wine again.

Since then, Lord Wang has been looking for flowers and willows at will, wandering in love; Mrs. Wang inherited the ancestral business and turned stones into gold.

"That Yang Zhi girl is as her name suggests, she is born with a thin waist of willows, and she is good looking. Lord Wang personally drew the pattern, with the best Wu craftsman in the first line of the pavilion to make this set of real willow noodles, on the hairpin also engraved with the words of giving poplar branches. ”

The shopkeeper said, glanced at Han Shiyan secretly, hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Wang intends to redeem Yang Zhi and include him in the mansion as a concubine, but it is a little too late, and there are already senior officials next to him who have redeemed Yang Zhi's girl." ”

As he spoke, he walked over to a large wooden cabinet beside him, and with a few clicks, pulled out a wooden box from it.

The wooden box is carved with hibiscus flowers with black lacquer, and there is a small copper buckle in front of it, which looks particularly exquisite.

The shopkeeper didn't say anything, and directly opened the box and pushed it in front of Wu Jiang.

"Just yesterday, Miss Yang Zhi went to Baotong Pawnshop and lost this set of real willows, but unfortunately she was missing an ear bell. At that time, I saw her wearing a cloth dress with no pearls on her head, and I thought she was already a good family. ”

"We are also old acquaintances, I also asked her a few words, she only said that her brother ransomed her, and she was going back to her hometown after picking up her mother."

Baotong Pawnshop is next to the first line pavilion, and the two are the same proprietor.

Gu Shiwei listened, her eyelashes trembling, she thought she understood a little bit why Ding Yang wanted to kill Guan Yushi and then hanged himself.

As a dutiful son, what is there to make him leave his blind old mother behind, and he has to do it with his life?

Gu Shiwei remembered the rattle on the clean table of the Eight Immortals, and pondered the shopkeeper's words, if she didn't guess wrong, Yang Zhi should be Ding Yang's own sister, he rescued her from the dust, and entrusted the second half of his old mother's life to her with confidence.

Gu Shiwei thought about it, and his heart was slightly swollen.

Han Shiyan also didn't say anything, but Wu Jiang on the side excitedly reached out and touched the earring, he touched it from his sleeve pocket, took out a jiaozi, and stuffed it into the hands of the shopkeeper.

"You take the money, and when I'm done, I'll send the rest of the money over, it's hard to buy a good heart, with this, my fifth sister should be able to stab me a few times less!"

He said excitedly, but the shopkeeper stopped talking, and his face changed several times.

Wu Jiang suddenly reacted that something was wrong, he turned his head to look, but saw Han Shiyan and Gu who were standing behind him before, and he didn't know when he had disappeared.

Wu Jiang wanted to cry without tears, "How can they leave me behind!" Now the old man won't scold me to death! ”

The shopkeeper calmly put away the wooden box, a good little Langjun, he likes to squeak and scream, who sees who doesn't run!

……

It was early in the morning, and the Suzaku Street was far less lively than at night, and feeling the silence in his ears, Gu Shiwei glanced at Han Shiyan and breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Shiyan led the way, entered a small alley, and then turned around, and finally saw a simple shop.

The ordinary wooden door, the stones piled up everywhere on the ground, the sleepy-eyed and dozing little girl, the birds jumping on the branches in front of the door, and a lazy wild cat lying by the small tea-making stove, compared to the glitz of the first-line pavilion, it makes people feel a lot quieter here.

Han Shiyan pushed the door and walked in, and when he heard the footsteps at the door, a man in a cyan cloth robe walked up quickly.

He was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a delicate appearance, and his hands were exceptionally stout, and he looked a little out of harmony with the whole person.

Seeing the two of them, the young man hurriedly made a big salute, "Han Yushi...... And this lord of the Imperial City Division...... In Xia Yanyi, Master asked me to meet here, and the two senior brothers have been waiting for a long time. ”

Gu Shiwei was a little surprised, obviously Han Shi's banquet had been arranged in advance.

This shop is not big, but the backyard is not small, Yan Yi led the two of them to turn three more corners, before picking up the curtain and entering the inner room.

As soon as I entered, the three bearded men sat at a long table, looking together at a scroll of pictures that I don't know what they were.

Hearing the sound of the curtain, the old man sitting in the middle quickly rolled up the album and put it into his arms.

He coughed lightly a few times, and hurriedly pointed to a thin old man on the left and said, "This is my eldest disciple Su Zhu." ”

Fu pointed to a middle-aged man with narrow eyes on the right and said, "This is the second apprentice Li Yunshu, and the little apprentice Yan and one or two adults have seen it." ”

Master Jia said, looking at Han Shiyan eagerly, "Did you bring what you said?" ”

Han Shiyan nodded, took out the letter that Gu Shiwei handed him from his arms, opened it and put it on the table.

After just one glance, the middle-aged man Li Yunshu pulled his legs and rushed to the door, but Master Jia seemed to open his eyes, stretched out his hand and grabbed his bun, he reached out and touched the back of his waist, took out a ring ruler, and slammed it towards Li Yunshu's buttocks.

"Gua Wazi, I have learned all the skills in the belly of a dog! Forgot all the rules of the ancestors! Lao Tzu only saw at a glance that it was your deflated calf's three-legged cat kung fu! Did you know that this is going to lose your head! ”

Then Li Yunshu doesn't need to be beaten, his face is already as white as earth.

As soon as his legs weakened, he sat down, directly pressed the ring under him, and his face changed even more when he saw the imperial city official robe on Gu Shiwei's body.

Master Jia was so angry that the roots of his beard stood up, he suddenly pulled out the ring ruler, and slammed Li Yunshu's back a few times, and then anxiously ran to Han Shiyan, grabbed his hand, and looked over as if asking for help.

"Han Yushi, take care of family affairs, the old man is upright, and he doesn't dare to do that thing to protect his disciples. It's just that the three evil obstacles I taught, each of them with good personal character, if they do such a thing as forging a private seal, they must have a last resort. ”

As he spoke, he kicked Li Yunshu on the side again, "Evil obstacles, don't you say it quickly!" ”

That Li Yunshu came back to his senses, and saw that Master Jia couldn't stop begging for help, and tears fell from his nose, "Three days ago, I was carving a seal at home, and suddenly someone broke in, he was strong in martial arts, and he held a long sword in his hand, and threatened with the lives of my family, and brought a blank piece of paper, which was printed with this wheat ear seal. ”

"Because I have read this chapter on Master's side, I recognized it at a glance as the private seal of Lord Zhang Chunting of the Imperial City Division."

"Soon, my whole family will die that night; It's engraved, if something happens in the future, the Imperial City Division will come to the door, and I will die. So I carved the chapter, but I deliberately pretended not to know the secret door left by the master, and carved a chapter that a layman would think was exactly the same at a glance. ”

"I couldn't sleep and eat these days, I couldn't sleep all day, I didn't know when the disaster would strike, and now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Gu Shi's eyes moved slightly, "Do you still remember the characteristics of the person who came?" ”

Li Yunshu nodded heavily, "I remember, he was wearing the robe of the Imperial City Division, wielding a long sword, and wearing a very strange mask on his face. Like what? ”

Li Yunshu pondered for a moment and said affirmatively, "Like a flying sparrow, like a flying bird's head!" ”
