Chapter 88
At this critical moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind the bushes, and quickly grabbed Su Ruoyu's wrist that was about to stab Ye Zhiwen with lightning speed.

Su Ruoyu didn't have martial arts at all, but she was caught off guard by this person's arrival, her wrist felt sore and her fingers softened, and she dropped the dagger to the ground within two strokes.

"Miss San, you can't do this to fourth master, fourth master..." The visitor's hasty voice sounded beside his ears.

Su Ruoyu, who had already been exhausted physically and mentally, only heard the first half of the sentence. As for what the man said in the second half, she had already closed her eyes and fainted, and could no longer understand.

Seeing Su Ruoyu fainted, Ye Zhiwen was willing to slowly move his body. A deep knife mark on his back was immediately exposed, and the gurgling blood stained the roots of the big tree, and it kept flowing out. risk.

"Fourth Master."

The person who spoke was Jiang Feng, the guard next to Ye Zhiwen. He looked at his master struggling to move over with distress, his pupils shrank slightly, and he pursed his lips, "Fourth Master, you are seriously injured. You can't move easily. Don't move there, this subordinate will find a way to take you back to clean and bandage."

Ye Zhiwen's face quickly turned pale due to excessive blood loss, and his dark eyes were fixed on Su Ruoyu's tear-stained face. After a moment of silence, he told Jiang Feng, "Give Ruoyu to me, and I will send her out."

"Fourth Lord!"

Jiang Feng couldn't bear it, "Your injury is unbearable..."

"It's okay." Ye Zhiwen shook his head weakly, "I still can't die."

He stood up slowly with his hands on his hands, took Su Ruoyu from Jiang Feng's hand and hugged him horizontally, and walked towards the coachman step by step.

Jiang Feng followed behind him, watching him bring out bloodstains every step of the way, felt pain in his heart, and said angrily: "After the sons of the aristocratic families who came to the horse race dispersed, the subordinates clearly brought people to clean up the place like a carpet. , How could there be assassins in this forest, when did they ambush them, and why was their target Young Master Qin? Fourth Master, everything that happened today is too strange. "

What Jiang Feng said, Ye Zhiwen thought of it when he was fighting the man in black before, he didn't react much at this time, he just let out a faint "um" from his nasal cavity, his expression was calm, "this matter , I will investigate on my own, the most important thing right now is to send Ruoyu back safely, so as not to worry about the second master and second wife."

Jiang Feng opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. He felt worthless for his master.

Fourth Master clearly led away the first group of men in black for Miss Su San and was seriously injured because of this, but what he got in exchange was Miss Su's misunderstanding that she didn't listen to the explanation. She even wanted to kill Fourth Master, but Fourth Master didn't even He didn't care, and walked out of the woods with her wounded in his arms.

Is this Third Miss Su really worth the Fourth Master's sacrifice?

Ye Zhiwen didn't turn his head, and said in a deep voice, "If you don't hurry up, why are you so dazed behind?"

Jiang Feng immediately realized that he stepped forward quickly, and said distressedly: "Fourth Master, you have been injured so badly, and you can still feel that your subordinates are staying behind?"

Ye Zhiwen didn't even bother to give him a look, "It's my back that hurt, not my brain."

Jiang Feng shut up resentfully.

Earlier, when Su Ruoyu came, he ordered Qian Bo to drive the carriage to a hiding place, and he escaped a catastrophe because of this. When Ye Zhiwen came out with Su Ruoyu in his arms, it happened that Qian Bo drove the carriage over from the other side. Seeing this scene, he was so frightened that his face paled. He quickly stopped the carriage and ran over. He looked at Ye Zhiwen whose back was covered in blood in disbelief, and then looked at Su Ruoyu who was in Ye Zhiwen's arms. He asked in a trembling voice: " Fourth, fourth master, what's wrong with my third lady, what happened? Why did it happen in just a while? "

"She's fine." Ye Zhiwen twitched his pale and chapped lips, "Please take her back safely, and please ask the doctor to take a good look."

Qian Bo hurriedly nodded, "Fourth master, please rest assured, it is the duty of this old slave to take care of the third lady, and this old slave will definitely live up to his high expectations."

Ye Zhiwen nodded, and then told Jiang Feng, "You escort Miss Su San all the way back to avoid accidents along the way."

Jiang Feng was anxious, "Fourth Master, you are still hurt!"

Ye Zhiwen looked into the woods, and sighed slightly, "Qin Yao is dead, someone has to collect his body."

Before Jiang Feng could speak again, Ye Zhiwen's face showed a bit of impatience, "If you dare to speak more, be careful that I will pull out your tongue so that you can't speak any more!"

Jiang Feng shrank his neck, pursed his lips and said, "Then this subordinate will leave now, take care of yourself."

"Go!" Ye Zhiwen watched Jiang Feng get into the carriage, and then carefully instructed, "Be sure to watch Miss Su San enter the house in person, otherwise you are the only one asking!"

"Your subordinate obeys." Jiang Feng couldn't help but feel a sore nose when he saw that his master was clearly in unbearable pain but still had to work hard for Miss Su San.

Qian Bo drove the carriage farther and farther, and Ye Zhiwen's vision became more and more blurred. He went into the forest again, found a thick tree to lean against, and took a short rest before taking off his coat and tearing it into strips , and found freshly sprouted agrimony in the forest, put it in his mouth and chewed out the juice, he couldn't see his back, so he had to smear it randomly, and wrapped the wound with a torn cloth strip, and then staggered away Find Qin Yao's body.

It took Ye Zhiwen a long time to find the scene where Qin Yao was killed, but Qin Yao's body was nowhere to be found, and there was an eerie silence in the whole forest.

When they spread out in all directions and found a stick of incense, there was still no sign of Qin Yao. Ye Zhiwen frowned, but his remaining physical strength did not allow him to think too much. Ye Zhiwen had no choice but to get out of the woods and head towards Jinling City. to the hospital.

*
When Jing Se followed Fan Yue to the teahouse, Jiang Li really took Hao Hao to listen to the opera on the second floor. The little guy listened with enjoyment, while peeling edamame with his chubby little hands and feeding it to his mouth.

Hearing the movement of Jing Se and the others going upstairs, the little guy looked back and was overjoyed. He didn't dare to yell, so he jumped off the stool and ran to Jing Se's side in a hurry, his little boy was stained with edamame juice. He rubbed his dirty hands on Jingse's dress.

Jing Se gave him a disgusted look, but she couldn't bear to scold him. She stretched out her hand to pinch his bun face, and pretended to be annoyed, "Baby, you are so dirty, didn't you feel disgusted when you were in Prince Chu's Mansion?"

Haohao turned his nose up, pouted his mouth, and said arrogantly: "Godfather dare not dislike me, as long as he yells at me loudly, I will cry, and if I cry, he will be hung up and beaten by my grandpa."

Jing Se was stunned, staring at Fan Yue in shock, and then at the little guy, "Why, your godfather will be hung up and beaten by the old prince Chu?"

Haohao smiled slyly, "Grandfather still hit godfather's ass."

Finally, Jing Se couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Fan Yue's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, glaring at the little guy angrily, he grabbed his back collar and lifted him up without saying a word.

Haohao flapped his hands and feet in the air, and the little bun's face flushed red. He flattened his mouth and pretended to cry: "Mother, godfather is a bad person. Haohao shouldn't be with godfather, he will bully me."

Fan Yue's hand holding Hao Hao did not let go, and the other hand patted Hao Hao's little butt twice, causing him to grin his teeth in pain.

"Little thing, do you still dare to lie in the future?" Fan Yue stared at him maliciously, with an arrogant look of "I won't let you down if you don't apologize".

With his mother present, Hao Hao would not admit defeat, and "cried" even harder, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Fan Yue's face turned darker, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.

Jing Se glared at him, "Put my son down!"

Fan Yue snorted softly, "Don't let him go, whoever told him that the villain would file a complaint first, and his words were so disrespectful, that he lost all face of the Lord."

Haohao had nowhere to ask for help, so he could only turn his head to look at Fan Chen beside him. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he still had to bow down for his life, so he yelled sweetly to Fan Chen: "Daddy save me!"

With this shout, Jing Se staggered and bumped into the pillar, while Fan Yue shook his hands and didn't hold on to Hao Hao's back collar. Hao Hao fell from mid-air in an instant, but fortunately Fan Chen quickly caught it with his eyes and hands over him.

Haohao, who was scared of half his life, looked at Fan Chen aggrievedly, and cried: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooths"

Fanchen stared at Haohao, and suddenly something flashed through his mind, so fast that he couldn't catch the slightest trace, but he felt a faint pain in his head, he couldn't help but frown and tried desperately to think about it, but he couldn't think of anything not come out.

Jing Se was the first to react, and quickly took Hao Hao from Fan Chen's hand, pulled him aside, and asked in a low voice: "Hao Hao, how can you call the son of Brahma 'Daddy'?"

Haohao was aggrieved, "It's my godfather who asked me to call it that."

Jing Se glanced complicatedly at Fan Shen and Fan Yue who were already seated, then turned her head to stare at Hao Hao, and asked, "You can't shout like that in the future, do you understand?"

Haohao pouted, "Mother, godfather said that you are going to marry Xiao Jingjing in the future, if you marry him, what will Haohao do?"

"Stupid bun." Jing Se smiled and nodded his forehead, "No matter what mother does, she will never leave you alone."

Haohao blinked, and asked again: "Then, can mother be by Haohao's side every day?"

"This..." Jing Se hesitated, "It's a bit difficult."

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult." Haohao's eyes sparkled, excitedly said: "As long as mother marries Xiao Jingjing, Haohao will be able to see you every day!"

Jing Se narrowed her eyes, "Who taught you these words?"

"No." Haohao shook his head, "I thought of it myself."

"Huh?" Jing Se raised her voice at the end.

Haohao felt a little guilty, so he hurriedly stopped talking, quickly changed the subject, and pointed to Huadan on the stage below, "Wow, my sister is so beautiful."

Jing Se couldn't handle him, so she had no choice but to get rid of the idea of ​​talking to him, took him over and took a seat, and asked someone to call warm water to clean Haohao's hands and dry them before she hugged him to sit on the high stool Listen to the play.

Jiang Li had been sitting in his seat, and when he saw Jing Se approaching, he looked a little surprised, and said in surprise: "So Miss Jing is the girl with excellent medical skills that Master Vatican said? It really seems to be destined, I thought Since Wang Yougu said goodbye, we had no chance to meet again, unexpectedly there was a will in the dark, such a reunion really surprised me."

When Jing Se was in Wangyou Valley, she often took care of Jiang Li, and the relationship between the two was fairly close, so it's not surprising that Jiang Li would speak to her in this tone.

With a polite smile, Jing Se said: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and I will be safe from the big brother. How is the owner of the valley?"

Speaking of Zongzhengchu, Jiangli's face gradually darkened, and his voice became weaker, "Since the death of Senior Sister Xia Mu, Master has been in seclusion for a long time, until the day that the Second Master Vatican took His Royal Highness to forget about it in person. Worrying Valley made him have to leave the customs early. In just a few months, he was quite haggard. It must be the death of Senior Sister Xia Mu that gave him a big blow. In fact, not to mention Master, it is our group of senior brothers who are here. When I heard the news of Senior Sister Xia Mu's death, I couldn't control my tears. Everyone in the valley knew that it was absolutely impossible for Senior Sister Xia Mu to have the intention of treason. At that time, we strongly demanded to come to Beijing to seek justice for Senior Sister Xia Mu. But the master forbids it, he expressly prohibits any disciple in the valley from getting involved in the affairs of the court."

Hearing what Jiangli said, Jing Se remembered that when he said goodbye to his master, he had vowed to use all his wisdom to create a world and impress his master.In three years, she allowed a person who was impossible to participate in the seizure of the heirloom to successfully enter the East Palace. This is indeed a legendary story, but what she got in return was that Gu Qian crossed the river and demolished the bridge on the day of his success.

So ironic, so ridiculous.

What face does Xia Mu have to face the master who has painstakingly cultivated him for many years?
Concentrating all her emotions for a moment, Jing Se raised her head and said with a smile: "Actually, you should think about it from another angle. A person like Xia Mu who has never thought of a plan will be plotted by the prince who has been carefully cultivated by him, even if her final outcome is not I don't think she wants her life to be stained with such an indelible stain. From our point of view, Xia Mu's death is indeed a pity, but for her, it may not be the end of her life. A kind of relief. At least, she no longer has to endure the condemnation in her heart, let alone live in boundless hatred every day."

Jiang Li listened, his eyes lit up, and he praised: "Yeah, why didn't I think of this? It's Miss Jing who thinks carefully, and when I go back to Wangyou Valley, I will tell you the exact words." Master, Master will be able to get out of the shadow of that pain soon after hearing this."

Jing Se smiled, "I also hope that the owner of the valley can get rid of the knot as soon as possible. After all, people cannot be resurrected after death, and they have been trapped in the past. It will not be a good thing after all."

Jiang Li glanced at Jing Se gratefully, "Thank you, Miss Jing, for your reminder."

"Brother Jiang Li, you are welcome."

The two of them were going back and forth politely, when there was a sudden noise from below, Jing Se looked down and didn't see any special person, but heard a gossip.

The person with the loudest voice said: "I heard that a girl with scars bumped into a customer outside Wan Yi's pawn shop and smashed the antiques that the customer had just redeemed. She insisted on asking the girl to lose money, but the girl didn't say anything, and asked the shopkeeper to take out the account book for comparison, and she would pay as much as she found. Unexpectedly, when the account book came out, the antique was worth thousands of gold. The girl was not happy, and said that the shopkeeper was blackmailing. Now The two parties can't stop arguing, in my opinion, that play is much more exciting than the one in the teahouse, we might as well go and have a look."

After speaking, most of the guests in the teahouse dispersed, and everyone rushed to go to Wanyi's pawn shop to watch a play.

Jingse frowned.

The girl with scars all over her face, isn't she exactly Qing'er?
Before she left, she had clearly instructed Qing'er not to startle the snake, how could she be so reckless and smash the guest's belongings?

No time to think about it, Jing Se got up quickly, and said to Fan Yue and the others: "You help me take care of Hao Hao, I will come as soon as I go."

Fan Yue thought about it, and asked, "Are you also interested in the Wanyi pawn shop?"

Jing Se knew that she couldn't hide Fan Yue's sensitivity, so she simply said truthfully: "That maid is probably someone close to me, I can't just sit and watch her being bullied to the top."

Glancing at Fan Yue's hesitant to speak, Jing Se knew that he wanted to follow, she hurriedly said: "Who is the real owner behind Wanyi's pawn shop, the second master must know better than me, whether it is you or Fan Shizi, Your identities are all there, and it is not suitable for you to appear on this occasion, so it is better for me to go alone."

Fan Yue's face was full of surprise, he always knew that this woman had a clever mind that was different from ordinary people, but he didn't expect that she even knew who the real owner of Wanyi Pawnshop was, he really underestimated her.

After pondering for a moment, Fan Yue was still uneasy, and frowned, "Since you know that the identity of the owner behind Wanyi Pawnshop is not simple, you dare to take risks alone like this, aren't you afraid of death?"

Jing Se let out a long breath, and said solemnly: "At least they don't dare to do anything to me when I don't feel wronged."

After Jing Se finished speaking this time, without looking at Fan Yue's reaction, she got up and walked downstairs quickly, walked out of the teahouse, bought a white veil on the street and tied it on, and then walked towards Wanyi's pawnshop.

At this time, Wanyi's pawnshop was surrounded by common people. Jing Se was petite and had no martial skills, so she couldn't squeeze through the strong men in front of her. He shouted loudly, "Master Guan is here!"

This sentence really worked, and the people who didn't know the truth quickly dispersed to both sides in shock, making way in the middle.

Naturally, Jing Se couldn't let herself, who had told a huge lie, become the target of public criticism. She stood next to the crowd and sneaked to the front, easily standing at the forefront and seeing the scene clearly.

One of them was indeed Qinger.

The "guest" who was smashed into the antique vase, Jing Se recognized, was Chong Ying, one of the hidden guards that Gu Qian never released easily.

What's even more ironic is that back then, Gu Gan was unable to practice martial arts because of his inconvenient legs and feet, so all the hidden guards were trained by Jing Se himself.

If there were no major incidents, Gu Gan would hardly touch this hidden guard, but today, Chong Ying was asked to come to the pawnshop to launder money in person, which is enough to show that Gu Gan has already started to panic, fearing that his uncle Zhao Zheng's sale of the imperial horse will be exposed. Therefore, he is not at ease handing it over to others, and can only let his most trusted person do it.

The shopkeeper of Wanyi Pawnshop stood by the side all the time to persuade him, he said to Qing'er: "Young lady, you broke the customer's things, how can you not pay for it?"

Qing'er's eyes were sharp, and she saw Jing Se who was covered with a veil all at once. She was secretly happy in her heart, but her face was as calm as before, "Shopkeeper, let me repeat, I didn't break this guest's vase on purpose. But the vase was indeed broken because of me, even if I did not intend to cause this young master's loss, the money must be paid back, but your price is too high."

Chongying frowned. Originally, he didn't want to care about this matter, as long as he successfully laundered the money, he would be considered a successful task.Who would have thought that the shopkeeper was so thoughtless that he would attract everyone with a loud voice, and now it would be difficult to solve it easily.

Thinking of this, Chongying stared at the shopkeeper, and secretly scolded him in his heart for not knowing how to look at the limelight, and for daring to bring out the account book to spoil the important affairs of His Royal Highness.

The shopkeeper didn't expect the matter to develop to this point. There were more and more people onlookers. For the current plan, the only way to do it is to let the girl lose money.

Chongying withdrew his gaze lightly, and looked at Qing'er, "I just bought the flower goblet from the pawn shop, and the bill is still there. Does the girl still want to renege on the debt?"

Qing'er deliberately raised her voice, "It's just a flower goblet, but it's worth a thousand taels of gold. What dynasty and generation is this flower goblet from? How could I not know that there are such precious flower goblets in the world?"

When Qing'er said this, Jing Se fully realized it.

Come to think of it, the flower goblet in Chongying's hand was indeed smashed by Qing'er on purpose, and her purpose was to make the abnormal price of the flower goblet public and attract everyone's attention.

Gu Gan is a very cautious person. He personally sent people to launder the money that Zhao Zheng obtained from selling the royal horses. In order not to attract attention, the amount of each laundering was very small, so that now, The money has not been completely laundered, today Chongying actually brought a thousand taels of gold to redeem a flower goblet, which shows that what Zhao Zheng did has been exposed, so Gu Gan is so eager to spend the last sum of money in one go wash off.

The other party can make Gu Gan so frightened, judging from the current situation, most likely it can only be Jin Yiwei who is privately called "hell ghost messenger".

Thinking of this, Jing Se happily said, "God help me." If Jin Yiwei really intervenes in this matter, then according to Bo Qinghuan's temperament, he will not care whether the other party is the most important prince of the emperor, and the case will be handled accordingly Not wrong.

Pulling back her thoughts, Jing Se curled her lips and said suddenly: "Why are you two arguing like this, this kind of thing should be reported to the government, and it is only right for the official to give him justice."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper of Wanyi Pawn Shop panicked at first, looked at Jing Se with sharp eyes, and scolded: "Who are you, how can you interrupt here?"

"Unfortunately." Jing Se smiled, and because she was wearing a veil, everyone could only see the twinkling eyes full of agility and wisdom.She said: "The little girl is the master of this girl."

As soon as Jing Se finished speaking, Chongying frowned again, his pupils shrank slightly, and he looked her up and down.

"So, does the little girl have the right to speak now?" Jing Se asked with a smile, her expression unchanged.

The shopkeeper of the pawn shop is a smiling tiger. Seeing this situation, he immediately changed his attitude and came forward, saying: "Miss, since you are the master, you must be a fair person. It is only natural to pay back debts, don't you feel that Is my guest too much?"

Jing Se raised her eyebrows, "It's not too much, not at all, since the smashing of this flower cup has a lot to do with my maid, then the loss of money is certain, but how to accompany the money, you, the shopkeeper, don't count. It doesn’t count if a guest speaks, it’s up to the government to speak.”

As soon as he heard the word "Government", the shopkeeper, who was still smiling at first, suddenly became gloomy, "I thought you were a reasonable girl, but I didn't expect that you were also trying to take the opportunity to shirk responsibility. The customer's bill for the flower cup is clearly in In the shop, you just need to compensate according to the price, why mention the government?"

After all, the shopkeeper glanced at Jing Se's clothes contemptuously, and sneered, "Furthermore, looking at the girl's dress, she doesn't look like a lady from a famous family, and the government is not your house, so you can think about it whenever you want." A place where you can just go?"

Jing Sexi Su, even though she was going to the palace for a banquet today, she was not dressed so gorgeously. Although the material of the clothes was very fragrant brocade, the overall attire was very clean, which was why the shopkeeper of the pawnshop had the illusion.

With a low smile, Jing Se said: "It's true that the government is not my home, but it's a place where I can reason."

The shopkeeper frowned, "You!"

Jing Se didn't look at him, and went straight to Chongying, met his cold eyes, "Master, do you think what the little girl said makes sense?"

Chongying looked at Jingse's eyes, his heart trembled for no reason, and immediately recovered his original expression, he said: "What the girl said is indeed somewhat reasonable, but here is the obvious evidence, why should I go to the government with you?" go?"

Jing Se said: "Because I think the young master's flower cup is probably not worth the money, and you may have bought a fake."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was impatient, "Presumptuous! How dare you slander my Wanyi pawnshop for producing counterfeit goods? Don't you want to go to the government? I'll send you there!"

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he recruited a young servant to whisper a few words in a low voice, and the young servant left the crowd after listening, apparently heading towards the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

Jing Se knew it well, the shopkeeper didn't dare to report to the official, the purpose was to frighten her.

Jingse bent down to pick up the fragments of the flower goblet, waved it in front of everyone, and then looked at the shopkeeper, "Since you are so sure that the flower goblet is not a fake, then you might as well tell me when it came from and what is its origin?"

The shopkeeper obviously found an excuse early in the morning. Hearing Jing Se's question, he immediately raised his eyebrows and began to talk endlessly, "This flower cup comes from the 'Ru Kiln', the head of the official kiln in the Huilong period of the previous dynasty. Agate is glaze, you can look at its glaze color, is there any beauty of 'thousands of peaks and green waves come'?"

Everyone craned their necks to look at it, and then nodded in agreement.

Glancing at Jing Se contemptuously, the shopkeeper said again: "The surface of this flower cup has the most typical cicada wing patterns on the surface of Ru kiln. It looks like jade, but it is better than jade. The goods from the palace are sent to the people, and although the shop has become famous not long ago, there are many genuine treasures in it." Looking at Qing'er, he continued: "Unfortunately, what the girl knocked over today was a Ru Kiln flower. Gu, it is said that "even if you have a wealth of wealth, it is not as good as a piece of Ru kiln", but this is still a relic from the previous dynasty, and a flower goblet is worth thousands of gold, which seems to be justified."

When the common people heard it, they suddenly realized that since this flower gu has such a long history and was produced by Ru kiln, it is not surprising that it is worth a thousand gold.

"Is it?"

Amidst a burst of discussion, Jing Se suddenly sneered, holding up the pieces of broken porcelain in her hand, "Young girl is not talented, just happened to have some research on the Ru Kiln of the previous dynasty, but there is a big discrepancy with the shopkeeper's cognition. Anyone who knows the business knows that, Ru kiln porcelain bodies are off-white, with a little yellow in the off-white. Although there are differences in shades, the difference is not too big, and they are all very similar to burnt incense ash. Please take a look, the porcelain body of this flower goblet It is extremely white, and it is clearly not the color of incense gray. Besides, the shopkeeper just said that the appearance of the flower cup has the beauty of "thousands of peaks, green waves and emerald colors". Please take a look again, why the little girl only sees a high imitation with a blue halo products, I have never seen the emerald colors of thousands of peaks."

The common people took a closer look, and it seemed that what Jing Se said was true, the appearance was not the emerald color of thousands of peaks, but just a circle of blue halo, which was not clear because of the light.

The crowd began to discuss in low voices again.

"The last point!" Jing Se interrupted everyone's voices loudly, "It is also the most critical point. The shopkeeper concluded that this object is an imperial property of the previous dynasty. That's right, but the little girl doesn't understand a little bit, why are the things from the previous dynasty written in the big seal script that only exists in this dynasty?"

It is true that the big seal script only started to rise in this dynasty, and there was no such thing in the previous dynasty.

The shopkeeper didn't expect that a little girl would have such in-depth research on the Ru Kiln of the previous dynasty, and immediately changed his face and became angry, "You are talking nonsense!"

Jing Se held on to the broken porcelain, and said in a casual tone, "What's more unfortunate is that the little girl happens to know a person who is very knowledgeable in jade and porcelain, does the shopkeeper need the little girl to invite that person for appraisal? "

Jing Se's words are scaring people. In her previous life, she really knew people in this area, but now she is Jing Se and not Xia Mu. Even if she knew her, she would not be able to invite him over. The reason for this is Said that it was nothing more than trying to put pressure on the shopkeeper.

At this point, the shopkeeper dared to challenge Jing Se, he immediately changed his face, apologized with a smile, "Don't blame the girl, I don't know that the girl is an expert in this field." He said, showing his innocence. With a serious expression, "Speaking of which, the little one was also deceived to mistake rubble for pearls."

When Chongying heard it, he immediately put on an angry look, and shouted at the shopkeeper: "Okay! You unscrupulous profiteer, how dare you fool me with fake products and lose money!"

After finishing speaking, he kicked the shopkeeper a few times without mercy.

The shopkeeper repeatedly raised his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, apprehensive in his heart, and kept apologizing, "Don't be angry, my lord, I will refund the original price to you."

"How can the original price be refunded?" Jing Se said: "If my maid hadn't accidentally knocked over the flower cup, this son would have suffered a big loss, and the shopkeeper won't pay more?"

The shopkeeper immediately reacted, "The girl is right." Looking at Chongying, he asked, "How do you want the young master to compensate you?"

Chongying clenched his fists in his sleeves, feeling a little apprehensive, once the shopkeeper compensated him at the original price, the money today would be equivalent to not being washed, and he would startle the snake, if he asked the shopkeeper to pay him more at this time, On the contrary, he brought out the cleaned part of the money. Once His Royal Highness finds out, he will be furious.

Before Chongying could speak, Jing Se smiled and said: "Since the shopkeeper is so sincere, then he must return the thousand taels of gold to the original owner, and then compensate the young master according to the real price of this flower cup, so that he can be considered clear." .”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. He had always been worried that the girl would ask to compensate Lord Chongying at a percentage of a thousand taels of gold, but she only asked for the original price of Huagu, which would be easy to handle. The left and right flower gu is just a high-quality imitation, which is not worth much in itself.

The shopkeeper was in a daze, and Jing Se asked again: "Shopkeeper, how much do you want to compensate this young master, you have to make it clear in front of us, otherwise the crowd will disperse after a while, and you will turn your face and deny him, this one." Isn't the young master at a disadvantage?"

The reason why Jing Se asked this was because she wanted to get out the shopkeeper's words.

If the shopkeeper deliberately exaggerated the original price of the flower gu, then he would have to compensate Chongying a large sum of silver taels, and the only one who would suffer at that time would be the Wanyi pawnshop, the crown prince Gu Gan.If he said it was low, then it would be a serious crime to deceive customers by pretending to be relics of the previous dynasty with inferior fakes!
Therefore, no matter how the shopkeeper answers, Jing Se is the ultimate winner.

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper got up from the ground, supported his sore waist from Chongying's kick, and was about to speak.

Chongying obviously had a bit of a brain, and immediately realized that there was a trap in Jingse's words. He snorted coldly and then angrily reprimanded the shopkeeper: "Hurry up and pay back the master's gold. As for the silver of this broken flower pot, the master is not rare. !"

The shopkeeper also realized something, and immediately sent two boys to the cellar to move gold.

"Wait!" Jing Se suddenly said.

The shopkeeper's body froze.

Chongying's complexion became more and more cold, and he had already gritted his teeth against Jing Se, who had done bad things in his heart, but in his current position, it was clear that Jing Se was helping him, no matter how angry he was, there was no reason to get angry at Jing Se.

"Why doesn't the shopkeeper tell you the real price of the flower goblet?" Jing Se spread out the pieces of broken porcelain in her palm to observe carefully, and said, "If you don't know, the little girl can estimate the price for you. It's also good for this young master to have a good eye with everyone, so that he won't fall into the same trick again in the future."

The shopkeeper and Chongying all changed their faces.

Today's Jing Se has already become an expert in this field in the minds of the onlookers. If she makes a random estimate, no one will doubt it.

No matter whether Jingse overestimated the price or underestimated it, for Chongying and the shopkeeper, this woman is a big deal for His Royal Highness.

Chongying gave the shopkeeper a wink indiscriminately.

The shopkeeper immediately understood, turned around and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I didn't know that this flower cup was fake, so if you want to ask me its real price, I really can't answer it." .”

The answer was very good.

As the saying goes, those who do not know are not guilty, as long as the shopkeeper killed him in one breath and did not know that the flower gu was fake in advance, then even if the trouble came to the government, he would still have some reasons to evade himself.

A sharp light flashed in Jing Se's clear eyes, she squinted her eyes, and stared straight at the shopkeeper, "It doesn't matter if the shopkeeper doesn't know the truth or not, then you have to know how much money you paid in the transaction." ? Or, the shopkeeper wants to tell us that this thing was passed down by your ancestors?"

Jingse's words are really ironic.

The flower gu is clearly a fake. If the shopkeeper dares to say that it was handed down by his ancestors, it is tantamount to slapping his ancestors.

Looking at the staring eyes around him, the shopkeeper was flustered, finally gritted his teeth, and said: "Back when a merchant came to pawn with a flower cup, he asked for 1000 taels of silver."

Jing Se raised her eyebrows, "So, the shopkeeper paid 1000 taels of silver when he picked up the goods, right?" Jing Se pressed her every step of the way.

The shopkeeper's body trembled, and he nodded resentfully, "Yes."

"That's good." Jing Se said: "Just ask the shopkeeper to bring the account book. Let's go to the account department to check the account and see how much tax you have paid on this transaction."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was completely panicked.

Even Chongying had to re-examine Jingse.

He has seen a lot of smart girls, but like today's rich lady who knows the details of officialdom and shopping malls, Chongying has only seen one female minister, Xia Mu, and it's a pity that that one is already dead.

"Girl, what exactly do you want to do?" Chongying frowned with displeasure, "I'm in a hurry, I don't have time to mess around here with you."

Jing Se looked at Chongying with a smile, and raised the broken porcelain in his hand, "Young master, to tell you the truth, although this flower cup is a high-quality imitation, it is not worth a thousand taels of silver. 100 taels of silver, which is still the highest price. The shopkeeper said that he paid a thousand taels of silver during the transaction, and the little girl knew that he had suffered a big loss, so she wanted to be a heroine and help him check the accounts. Then report the matter to the government, and ask the government to help find out who is the master who pawned the flower gu at the beginning, and he was able to sell 100 taels of silver for 1000 taels without the knowledge of the shopkeeper of Wanyi pawn shop. Women are in admiration!"

What Jing Se said was focused on the key words, Chongying and the shopkeeper couldn't find anything to refute, they could only secretly resent in their hearts, but they had to smile at her.

"Girl, I don't think it's necessary to be so troublesome." Chongying said: "In the business world, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. The shopkeeper was willing to buy the flower goblet for 1000 taels of silver, that's because he was willing to pay Qian, why should you and I stick to this matter? Life is not easy everywhere, you have to forgive others and forgive others. There is no need to make such a small matter a big deal and make everyone unhappy. Besides, today's incident is thanks to Girl and your maid, I can only get all my gold back. I am not a local, but a foreign businessman. I don’t want to cause trouble at the feet of the emperor. Since I have not suffered, then this matter will stop here. Therefore I hope the girl can see it for my sake and don't make a fuss. I see that the shopkeeper is not young. I'm afraid there are old and young in the family. If you make such a fuss, it's tantamount to cutting off people's wealth. It's too much .”

What Chongying said, not only brought out the emperor to threaten Jingse, but also brought out the shopkeeper and the whole family to kidnap morally. If it was normal, Jingse would definitely refute it back, but today is very special. When she came over, she saw Jin Yiwei's spies not far away, and she knew that if she made such a fuss, the spies would definitely hear this matter into Bo Qinghuan's ears.

Now that the effect has been achieved, there is no need for her to entangle herself in such an unreasonable case.

Therefore, after listening to Chongying's words, Jing Se went down the steps, nodded, and her tone softened, "Young Master said very well, since you, the victim, don't care about it, then I don't care about it as a little girl." So I can continue to blend in, so I took my maid and left, and the young master said goodbye."

After all, Jing Se took Qing'er and quickly walked out of the crowd.

Qing'er stroked her chest in fear, and sighed, "Miss, if you come later, the maidservant will really face a lawsuit."

Jing Se scolded her, "Didn't I tell you not to startle the snake, why are you so reckless?"

Qing'er said: "The servant saw the eldest lady sitting in the carriage of Brahma Prince and saw you entering the teahouse, so I came up with a quick idea, because the servant knows that you will definitely come forward when you hear the news."

Jing Se smiled and stopped talking. Today's matter is considered a crooked one. Within a day, Wan Yi's pawnshop will be closed down by Jin Yiwei, and the old lair of money laundering will be destroyed. Gu Qian's stolen money will not be destroyed. It will be up to him how he will deal with it then !

*
After Jingse left, everyone dispersed. Chongying stared at Jingse's back, his eyes became colder, and whispered to the shopkeeper, "You don't need to stay with this woman."
