Happy Little Scholar

"You guys take care of this case, I'll take a nap first." said.

"Tell me, how many times has this happened?" He walked down and patted the man's face. The man sighed and said, "I can't count them all."

"You have hands and feet, why don't you do something else? Why do you have to steal and rob?" The constable looked at him and said, "Now that you're out, find some decent work to do. Don't let me see you in the county jail again."

"Alas, life is hard." The man sighed and said in a melancholy tone, "It's impossible to work. I'm not born for this. If I don't steal or rob, I'll starve to death..."

The constable twitched his head, waved his hand, and said, "Take him away!"

"See if anything is missing."

Another constable pulled a purse from the man and threw it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man opened the purse and looked at it. His face was uncertain. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Nothing is missing. ”

The jade pendant that he had intended to trade on the black market could not be told about.

Although this would cause him to lose nearly 10,000 taels of silver directly, but keeping royal items privately was a crime that could cost him his life, and he must not let the government know about it.

It would be best if the man had thrown away the jade pendant. Although he felt sorry for the money, he didn’t feel so bad when he thought that it was pawned from a guy who didn’t know the business for 1,000 taels of silver.

What a pity, what a pity. He had originally planned to pay him more silver if he came to redeem it in the future. However, most of the pawnshops that pawned things were equivalent to selling them, and the possibility of redeeming them was very small. If he was lucky, he could make a net profit of 10,000 taels of silver from this business alone...

It was painful, but compared with his life, these were not so important.

The big man was escorted by two constables. When he was about to walk out the door, he seemed to remember something, stopped, and said, "By the way, there is another jade pendant. It's not worth much anyway. You can take it back with you, so that you won't be accused of hiding it. ”

The big man bowed his back and said, "It's right here, brother constable, help me get it."

The middle-aged man's face changed drastically when he heard it, and he immediately said, "Nonsense, I just lost my purse, there is no jade pendant, you stole it from someone else, you must have remembered it wrongly!"

The big man was stunned for a moment, looked at the middle-aged man, and said, "Are you confused? You forgot that you lost the jade pendant, or..., you really want to postpone it and make me get a few more boards!"

The middle-aged man forced himself to calm down and said, "Nonsense, why should I harm you? Don't I know whether I lost the jade pendant or not?"

The big man turned his head and looked at the constable and said, "Brother constable, this guy may really have forgotten it. The jade pendant is on my waist. Please help him get it. He should remember it when he sees it. "

The constable looked at the two of them, and with some surprise, he took out something from the bulge on his waist.

Crack!

There was a sound of porcelain breaking and tables and chairs overturning from the back. The county magistrate didn't even bother to brush off the dust on his body. He got up from the ground and ran quickly towards the door. He looked at the big man, pointed at the jade pendant, and asked in shock: "This, this jade pendant, where did you get it from!"

The big man was stunned for a moment, and looked at the middle-aged man in astonishment.

At this time, the middle-aged man's purse had fallen to the ground, and his face was pale.

Plop!

His legs softened, and he knelt on the ground, crying: "Sir, spare my life!"

"It's better to confess the truth!" The county magistrate said sternly.

Not long after, the county magistrate hurriedly walked out of the county government office, got on the sedan chair, and urged: "Go to Prince Feng's Mansion! "

……

……

The Fengwang Mansion is a very special existence in Fengzhou. The nominal highest official of Fengzhou is the Fengzhou governor, but it is actually the Fengwang Mansion that manages Fengzhou.

This is a special case in Qi. Although many princes have fiefs, they are almost all remote, only enjoying rent, living a rich life, and have no real power.

However, the third prince Zhao Yi is not among them.

The fief is as large as a state, and he can personally manage government affairs and have the power to make certain major decisions. He is the only one among the more than ten princes in Qi.

The third prince Zhao Yi came to the fief when he was young. It took more than ten years to turn the original medium-sized state into a rich place ranked among the top in the entire Qi State. Not only does he have a very high status in the hearts of the people of Fengzhou, but he also has a great influence in other neighboring states.

At this time, the Fengwang Mansion, the highly prestigious third prince, had just put down a letter.

Below, Yang Yanzhou frowned and asked, "Your Highness, why did the eldest prince come to Fengzhou so suddenly? "

Zhao Yi looked out the window and said, "The Imperial Censor is accompanying us. He said he is inspecting various prefectures on behalf of my father. He will arrive in Fengzhou in a few days."

Yang Yanzhou thought for a moment and said, "The eldest prince will not leave Beijing easily. This trip is not a good one. Your Highness should make preparations early."

"My royal brother..." Zhao Yi sighed, his tone quite helpless, and said, "Is there no news from Chongzhou?"

Yang Yanzhou nodded and said, "No, but from the news from Jingguo, it seems that they haven't found him either. There are rumors that he may have met with an accident."

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "No, if such a person dies because of this, it would be God's fault. This king believes that we will meet again one day."

Yang Yanzhou did not speak. When he thought of that name, some images emerged in his mind, and his expression was a little confused.

After a long time, that Mr. Li was still as charming as before.

The two talked a few more words about this, and a servant came to the door to report, "The magistrate of Fengcheng County wants to see you."

"Your Highness!"

The magistrate of Fengcheng County, who hurried in, walked in and bowed to Zhao Yi first.

"No need to be polite, magistrate Wu, sit down." Zhao Yi raised his hand and said, "I wonder if magistrate Wu suddenly came to visit. What's the matter?"

Wu County Magistrate respectfully presented a jade pendant with both hands and said, "Your Highness, this jade pendant was accidentally obtained by me from a few thieves today."

Yang Yanzhou showed a look of surprise on his face, looked at Zhao Yi, and said, "Your Highness, this is not the one that His Majesty gave you..."

"It's the Huilong pendant."

Zhao Yi took the jade pendant from Wu County Magistrate, smiled, and slowly picked up the chopsticks.

"He's coming."

...

...

"Here he comes..." Li Yi hurried into the kitchen. If he was a step later, he would have to make do with fried rice today.

Miss Liu seemed to have made up her mind this time, and she would not stop until she made a dish that could be swallowed. It was just a pity for the ingredients that he had just thrown away as garbage. Some of them were really expensive...

Thinking of the five thousand taels of silver that had just come in, she felt less distressed.

This time, she had to keep one thousand taels of the ten thousand taels of silver, and redeem the jade pendant when she left. If the old emperor remembered it one day, she couldn't fool him every time with the excuse that it was lost by the arrogant loli.

Thinking of the jade pendant, she thought of the stingy pawnshop owner.

Of course, the value of the jade pendant was more than one thousand taels of silver, but she was in urgent need of money last time, so she was forced to be cheated by him.

He has always been the one who cheated people, and those who cheated him will sooner or later suffer retribution.

This is not the second time I saw him, he lost something important. The next time, he will lose his head... So people should be upright. God is watching what people do. We must uphold the integrity that we have finally maintained...

When the smell of burning came from the kitchen of the small courtyard again, the pawnshop owner knelt on the ground in the county jail, kowtowed continuously, and said in a trembling voice: "He, he wore a bamboo hat that day. I really don't know the identity of that person!" 8)
