Chapter 544 Where Does the Jade Pendant Come 1
"The emperor is here!" The eunuch's characteristic high-pitched voice sounded outside, and Cang Shuhang hurriedly knelt down.

He knelt down on the ground, not daring to raise his head to look directly at Tian Yan, but vaguely saw a pair of cloud boots embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons walking by him.

"You are the magistrate of Dongyang?" The emperor sat down behind the case, frowned and looked at Cang Shuhang coldly.

Cang Shuhang still knelt on the ground, without the emperor's shout, he dared not move: "Return to the emperor, this humble minister is Cang Shuhang."

"Head up!"

Cang Shuhang hurriedly raised his head, but his eyes were still looking down, not daring to look directly at the emperor.

"Look at this thing, do you know it?" After the emperor finished speaking, the eunuch immediately brought the brocade box in front of Cang Shuhang: "Master Cang, please look!"

Cang Shuhang took a closer look, isn't this the birthday gift he gave to the Queen Mother before?

"Back to the emperor, this thing is a birthday gift from my minister to the empress dowager."

The emperor stared at him coldly, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you come from?"

Cang Shuhang's heart skipped a beat, the secret path is broken, is there something wrong with this thing?
"Returning to the emperor, Weichen's cousin got this item from an antique shop. Weichen saw how exquisite it was, so he wanted to give it to the empress dowager, so he bought it from his cousin."

Seeing that his expression was different, the emperor knew that he was not telling the truth, "Oh? I bought it from an antique shop? Which antique shop? Where is it? Now take me there. If you have half a lie, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor. , so what should be said about the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Cang Shuhang was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat that he almost collapsed, and hurriedly kowtowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This, this jade pendant was not obtained from an antique shop, it was given to me by one of my subordinates. .”

"Can it be true?"

Cang Shuhang nodded again and again: "Every sentence is true!"

At this time, Cang Shuhang greeted He Ming's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart, how dare this guy trick him, let's see how he will deal with this guy when he goes back.

The emperor didn't pay any attention to him, didn't cry out, and let him kneel like this.

I don't know how long it took, Cang Shuhang felt that his knees and legs were completely numb, and he could hardly feel that he still had legs. It was extremely uncomfortable, but his body still didn't dare to move.

An old eunuch hurried in and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Steward Sun is here."

The emperor nodded: "Let them in."

After a while, an old man in his fifties brought two middle-aged men into the imperial study room. The old man was energetic, and he walked ahead, kneeling and saluting skillfully.

The emperor stared at Steward Sun coldly, and didn't shout, but asked, "Is King Jin's engagement token still there?"

Butler Sun nodded immediately: "Back to the emperor, King Jin's betrothal tokens have been kept in the warehouse. When King Jin left Beijing, Xiao Nu asked him to take it with him. He refused, so he just kept it."

The emperor frowned and said, "Then take a look at what this is?"

The eunuch came forward with a tray. The velvet box on the tray was opened, and a jade pendant lay inside.

Butler Sun was stunned for a moment, thinking that his eyes were dazzled, and after a closer look, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this jade pendant does not belong to King Jin."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it King Jin's?"

Butler Sun nodded: "That's right, on King Jin's jade pendant, the hand of the Laughing Buddha with a touch of red is the left hand, and this one is the right hand."

The emperor's complexion changed drastically. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that Butler Sun was right. He hadn't noticed this just now. There were two jade pendants, one on the left and one on the right. On the child's jade pendant is the right hand.
