Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 187 Who do we trust the most?

Chapter 187 Who do we trust the most?
This voice seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, and it only started to sound after the movement in the courtyard had subsided.

Everyone immediately looked not far away.

"What the hell? Anyone can be called Haiyue Liuli."

"I'm afraid this is another internal strife... Ten guan for the price? Didn't you know that the young prime minister just bought it for 5,000 guan?"

Others were whispering, but Hu Xiaocheng ignored it at first and just smiled sarcastically. He had seen similar situations many times, and this was another one who wanted to attract his attention.

While thinking about it, he didn't even look back and walked forward with his servants.

However, there was soon a noise over there.

"Is this... really Liuli?"

"Ten guan of money, how can it be ten guan of money?"

Similar exclamations were heard endlessly. Even if Hu Xiaocheng was no longer interested, he still looked towards them. When he saw those people gathered together, their faces looked a little strange.

The frustration and annoyance that only emerges when your job is ruined...

However, the vendor smiled and said: "Ten guanqian means ten guanqian... In addition, the things we have here are all one guanqian over there, two guanqian here... and those placed on the ground. , just give me a few hundred yuan!”

For the first time, some people questioned its authenticity.

At this moment, one of the vendors had a smile on his face, pointed at the coral among them and said with a smile: "Hey, we also have Haiyue Glaze."

"Bang" sound.

"Is this...really? Is it really Liuli? Is it really ten thousand coins?"

As he said that, he took out the treasure banknotes from his pocket and was about to take it into his hand...

"Ten coins!"

Fragments of glass scattered everywhere.

His eyes immediately widened.

However, the vendors here seem to be very generous and allow everyone to observe carefully.

"Xiao Xiangye wants it!"

As soon as these words came out.

"However, didn't you say that this glass was fished out from the bottom of the sea? I heard that a lot of money and force were spent on it, and even human lives were involved."

He just spent five thousand guan of treasure money, and he got it after a fight. Now, as soon as he left home, someone else was selling him for ten guan?
The key point is that when he took a look just now, except for the different shapes, the materials seemed to be the same, and the one here seemed to be better than the one in his hand!

suddenly!

After Su Xian heard the commotion, he rushed there as soon as possible.

There is not only that one statue in front of you, but also daily necessities, such as teacups, vases, dishes...

And everything inside is pure and clear, even more precious than in the courtyard Su Xian went to just now.

Seeing this scene, everyone was angry but dared not say anything. Most of them felt strange in their hearts. After all, anyone who cared about it knew what had just happened.

But Chang Mao, who had just heard the whole story, teased nonchalantly: "It's just that those five thousand strings were too stupid..."

Someone exclaimed and asked.

He finally came to his senses and said, "Let's go over and take a look..."

at last!

"Fake!"

Everyone seemed to be talking in their sleep, but the vendors didn't look like they were joking.

The eyes of the rich people around him were already twinkling, and the eyes of all the people were even duller. "Gili Gula" said a few words that the people of the Ming Dynasty could not understand, and then pointed at the vendor angrily.

"With all your ten dollars, you didn't get anything in?"

Immediately, someone thought, "I paid for it!"

But it was Hu Xiaocheng who had been watching, his face gloomy at this moment.

The angry expression makes people know what it means at a glance.

When he arrived at a crowded place, Chang Mao shouted and pushed the crowd away. When they came closer, he took a look...

"It seems that Hu Xiaocheng, you really like Liuli. You want five thousand guan, and you want ten guan..." At this time, a sarcastic voice sounded.

It seems that they have never seen the so-called Haiyue Liuli before. It feels like it was created out of thin air after hearing the name.

There are many exquisite ones, but if these things were placed in the courtyard, wouldn't it be normal for them to be priced at sky-high prices? Now it appears in this way?
There was something wrong with the expressions of the people around him.

Not only was it exquisite, but it was also pure, and he couldn't sit still immediately.

And this moment.

When Hu Xiaocheng took the glass, he just took a closer look, frowned, raised the huge glass and slammed it down!

The servant next to Hu Xiaocheng directly handed over the rolled up treasure banknotes, and then immediately took the new "Haiyue Glaze" in his hand.

On the stall in front of you, as if there were things that can be seen everywhere, all kinds of colored glass, which are regarded as treasures, are placed on it for everyone to look at...

It was not similar to what Su Xian had seen just now, but it was not far behind in terms of sophistication.

This scene completely silenced the surrounding area, and everyone was so frightened that they dared not speak out.

"Fake! Everything here is fake!"

Hu Xiaocheng roared angrily, seeming unwilling to allow himself to be the one who was taken advantage of.

however.

"As a customer, if you buy it, you will be responsible for it if you drop it."

As he spoke, he looked around, "But don't leave, everyone. Besides Haiyue Glazed... I have better things here."

talking.

He actually turned around and said something to the people behind him.

next moment.

But I saw those people taking out some straw that seemed to be anti-collision from the wooden box on the side.

Finally took them out one by one!
The first one is clearly a lifelike glass rat.

When people around see it, they immediately open their eyes wide and say, "This..."

However, before everyone could react.

The second glass has been placed on the table, but it is a transparent yellow old cow.

The third one, the Crystal Tiger of the Roaring Mountain Forest...

The fifth one, the hovering crystal dragon...all the way to the last one, the crystal pig.

"Everyone, take a look, this is the twelve zodiac signs we created with all our efforts!"

"Every one of them is of excellent craftsmanship, but I don't know which one is more valuable than the Haiyue Glaze that the young master broke?"

At this moment, everyone's eyes were dull, and they were clearly unable to react.

"This...what is this? Twelve zodiac signs with glazed shapes!"

"Where did you find it again? It would be amazing to find a similar one in this world, right?"

"How much does this set cost?"

The vendor didn't answer, but smiled again.

"Twelve Chinese zodiac signs, not only for sale, but also a set... well, one hundred pieces!"

"We bought it!"

Chang Mao immediately took a step forward and stared straight into his eyes.

"This is the first time we have seen this thing. Wait...did you just say a hundred strings?"

He was stunned.

"That's right, one hundred strings!"

Chang Mao was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "Okay! One hundred guan is good, one hundred guan is good!"

As he spoke, he groped around in his arms, threw out the treasure money, and had the glass packed and transported to his home.

Hu Xiaocheng was completely dumbfounded.

Not only him, but the people around him were already frozen in place. The emotions in their eyes seemed to be about to overwhelm these vendors in the next moment!
Hu Xiaocheng looked at the vendor in shock.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something.

"Come here, arrest him! Liuli is a treasure, these are all fake!"

"No matter how genuine it is, what is fake is still fake. What is the difference between deceiving the people and forging counterfeit banknotes in private?"

Hearing his voice, everyone was about to take action.

But Chang Mao's eyes widened, "What a joke! We are all selling things and doing business. Who stipulates that this Liuli must be sold as a treasure? Besides, when others call you "Little Prime Minister", you really think of yourself as "Little Prime Minister" "You don't have an official position, so you still think of yourself as an official?" "It must be that I paid more money and felt unbalanced..." Xu Huizu also continued.

No one present dared to participate.

Hu Xiaocheng was targeted in this way. He first glanced at Chang Mao and then looked at Xu Huizu.

It seemed to react.

"Hmph! I don't have an official status, and neither do you."

"But this place is full of foreign and foreign business groups. Someone gave me the sky-high price of glass from the Ming Dynasty, but let these villains cheat! It's embarrassing!"

"I can't control it, but Honglu Temple is in charge of this..."

After saying that, he waved his hands angrily, "Ask Honglu Temple to send someone!"

"What is the difference between the crime of counterfeit glass and counterfeit banknotes?"

He spoke loudly again, comparing the counterfeit notes to each other.

A group of people, as well as some foreigners, also looked at this scene angrily. When they heard that Hu Xiaocheng had made the decision for them, they all looked grateful.

And soon.

The officials who manage this place from Honglu Temple rushed over immediately after hearing the news, waiting to learn the truth of the matter.

They seemed unwilling to offend anyone, so they asked the vendor and the people in the courtyard to stop and conduct detailed inspections themselves.

But Xu Huizu, Su Xian and others could only let them go.

Before leaving.

Hu Xiaocheng first glanced angrily at the box carried by the servant. There was the precious glass he had acquired at a sky-high price today.

I thought I would contribute if I had the chance.

As a result, now, no matter how you look at it, something is wrong.

But these things are, at best, appetizers, and the real purpose has already been sown.

Thinking of this, he sneered and left in the carriage...

……

Still in that courtyard.

Only this time, it was the officials of Honglu Temple who asked the two parties to gather together. They first checked their respective colored glazes, and the more they looked at them, the more surprised they became.

Because from every aspect, it seems that the cheap vendors dressed up by Ming people are of better quality than those from Fan people.

However, if the young prime minister said he was fake, he must be fake.

I just don’t know where these people came from?

Here are all "high-priced items". They were also cautious while checking. The noise involved today was a bit big, and no one dared to play tricks at this time.

And just when they didn't know what to do with this "vendor"...

suddenly!

"There's something wrong with this treasure note!" Someone exclaimed, seeming to have discovered something incredible.

When the official turned around and looked around, the officer behind him had already raised a treasure note...

He walked over quickly, took it in his hand and inspected it. However, after looking at it for a long time, he found it difficult to detect the problem.

But the recent printing plate case is really shocking.

He couldn't draw a conclusion himself, and he was frightened...

"And this one!"

But he saw another guard also raising something in his hand.

"besides!"

“There’s this one too!”

At that moment, he could no longer remain calm, and his expression changed drastically.

He quickly shouted:
"Hurry and ask for the envoy from Chaojing Academy!"

"Go and inform the young master!"

"Go and report to the Prime Minister!"

……

at the same time.

royal palace.

It has been a long time since Xu Da entered the palace.

In front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma, King Yan Zhu Di, and his daughter Xu Miaoyun, the two families did not want to be the emperor entertaining his ministers.

On the contrary, it was like meeting in-laws.

And this moment.

After the simple greetings, what Zhu Yuanzhang said were commonplace.

"The two children are going to Peking soon. To be honest, we have watched these children grow up in the palace. Last year it was the second and third child's turn. This year it will be the fourth child's turn. Next year it will be the fifth and sixth child..."

"One by one, these children will fly out when they grow up. Alas, they are really reluctant to leave."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and took a sip of wine.

It is completely different from the situation where rumors are flying all over the world. He is very immobile here, and he has no defense against Xu Da at all. He is like an old friend or an in-law...

"Children will always grow up." Xu Da also said: "It's great to go out and see the world. If you don't let them go out, how can you sit in one place?"

Just saying.

He also hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, if King Yan becomes a vassal, it's time for me to come back... Even my old bones can't stand the torment of the battlefield."

Xu Da was very straightforward and directly stated that he was not greedy for military power.

However, after Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately said: "How can this be done? There is no reason why the children are gone, and the elders are not watching."

"Besides, can we rest assured that the fourth child is going to Peking alone? No one is watching?"

Xu Da couldn't tell whether this was a false attempt to retain him or a true intention.

It's just that he is resolute, not to mention that he has already had this intention.

However, before he could speak, Zhu Yuanzhang continued with an extremely firm attitude.

"We know what you are thinking. We are not the emperors in the history books. We will not play around with you. Our brothers have been together for many years, and you also know my temper."

"What's good is good, and what's bad is bad. It's good that you are in charge of Peiping! As for the opinions outside, it's not just one or two days. You didn't care before, so why are you saying this today?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said, his mood was already rising and he was a little annoyed.

Even King Yan immediately said: "Father-in-law, even if I go to Peking to become a vassal, I will still be a junior to learn. How is it possible..."

"You kid, stop chirping like that."

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand to interrupt, he was very direct, "Since this is what we are talking about, let's make it clear."

"The fourth child's decision to go to Peking has long been decided. It has been confirmed from the moment their marriage was decided. However, even though he is a vassal king, no matter how good the young dragon is, he still needs someone to protect him!"

"You also know the importance of Peking. You know it even better than we do. Who do we trust most in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty? People outside may have different answers, but you still don't know?"

"You have to test us on this matter? Are you talking about resigning and returning home? Bah!"

"In the future...don't say anything like this to me! We don't want to hear it!"

Xu Da's emotions fluctuated and his tone was trembling. Of course he knew that these were the words from the bottom of his heart.

"I know it, but... Your Majesty, there is one thing that I have seen a lot since returning to the capital, but I must say it."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the other party.

Xu Da immediately said: "Hu Weiyong is absolutely untrustworthy, let alone allowed to hold power alone!"

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but Zhu Yuanzhang took a bite of the food at exactly this moment.

And what else did Xu Da want to say.

Just then.

"His Majesty!"

Wang He hurriedly came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side.

"Say it directly!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
