The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

The sky will be bright and not bright.

Wu Lu, a newly promoted housekeeper from Ningguo Mansion, hurried to Jia Rong's courtyard, and ignoring the need to find the lady-in-law maid, directly shouted under the window sill:

"My son, that's amazing! Yesterday the man we sent to buy the Hua was tied to the stone lion outside the gate with his bare buttocks and fed the mosquitoes all night!"

"what?!"

Before the voice was over, there was a vicissitudes of voice inside, and then the door creaked left and right, and Jia Zhen came out from the inside disheveled, wearing a trouser belt and angrily said: "How could this be? Could it be that Zhang Huagan? of?!"

In his eagerness, he actually wore Hu's bloomers by mistake.

Wu Lu didn't dare to look more, and hurriedly bowed his head and replied: "I heard that Sun Zhizhong had sent someone to ambush Zhang Hua's house long ago. As soon as our people came to know Daoming, they were taken upright by the other party. I heard that they recorded it. A confession..."

"waste!"

Jia Zhen roared angrily, turned around and yelled at the room: "Didn't you say that this strategy will definitely work? How come the man surnamed Sun is holding the handle!"

Following his yelling, Jia Rong also went out of the room in a whisper, with a pair of pants in her hand, and said embarrassingly: "Father, look at this..."

"waste!"

Jia Zhen snatched the trousers away and hurriedly entered the inner room. After a while, he listened to him in the inner bed, panting and changing his pants, while angrily questioned: "You came from the idea. Sun's grasped the handle. If he bites back, Lao Tzu may not be able to protect you!"

Sure enough, it's my father!

Before the catastrophe was about to come, I was thinking about getting rid of the relationship.

Fortunately, Jia Rong has become accustomed to it, and she said in a slave-like manner outside the door: "Father calms down, if the surname Sun really wants to take a bite back and hand the person directly to the Dali Temple, wouldn't it be more appropriate? Since he treats the person After sending it back, I think there is no intention to completely fall out."

Inside it was quiet for a while, and saw Jia Zhen stepping out again in a polite manner, and sneered: "Speaking of which, Sun Erlang really still fears the prestige of our Ningguo Mansion?"

If you are really afraid of Ningguo Mansion, how can you dare to tie people naked in front of the door?

But Jia Rong didn’t dare to say this, so he just followed Jia Zhen’s tone and said: “Although Sun Erlang is already timid, we have the handle to fall into his hands after all, so it’s not good to intimidate him. Too much, according to the son's opinion, it is better to let Brother Qiang go over and talk together."

"Never mind."

Jia Zhen flicked his robe sleeves and reluctantly said: "This time I will spare him first!"

Obviously he was timid, and he wanted Jia Qiang to surrender and surrender, but the father and son had a bright lotus mouth, and they were able to say that they were going to let Sun Shaozong go.

Not to mention how the father and son called Jia Qiang over to explain.

But he said that Sun Shaozong got up before dawn, let Xiuju wait for a simple refreshing, and went over the wall and over the window to return to the study.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, he first went to the Dongkua courtyard and mentioned the admission of Jia Lan as a disciple to Yu Qian.

I heard that he wanted to accept the grandson of the Rongguo Mansion as his disciple, and it was highly recommended by Sun Shaozong. Naturally, Yu Qian was not good at rejecting the disciple, but he was sloppy, especially his pioneering disciple.

So he responded ambiguously, saying that he waited for Shu Jishi to finish the exam, so that he could make a decision when he saw the child.

When he came out of Dongkua courtyard, Sun Shaozong visited Ruan Rong again in the backyard. Seeing that there was nothing serious about her, he agreed to wait for tomorrow to take her and Xiangling to the Wangjiang Tower to listen to the play.

The book does not go into details.

After breakfast, Sun Shaozong went all the way to the penalty department, called Wei Ruolan, Lin Delu and others to accompany him, and ordered all the officials under the jurisdiction of the penalty department. There were two to three hundred people standing in the courtyard. .

Sun Chengye moved a grandmaster chair and placed it on the steps of the main entrance. Sun Shaozong sat upright on it. This allowed Sun Chengye to ask questions on his behalf: "My lord is calling you to wait today. I want to ask if anyone has ever heard of'Tao Zhu Jinbei' '?!"

The officials from below whispered to each other for a while, and some of them responded, saying that they knew about it.

Sun Chengye said again: "Don't panic, everyone who has heard of this thing, please stand in front of you and speak!"

The phalanx of more than two hundred people squirmed in a mess, and finally squeezed out thirty or forty people, including both the book office staff and the three squads of bureaucrats.

Among the government, there is actually one-sixth of the ratio? !

Sun Shaozong's heart sank, and he personally ordered: "Those who have bought and sold this thing, go out alone!"

This time everyone stared with big eyes and small eyes for a long time before four people cringed and stood at the forefront of the team, a book official and three bureaucrats.

Fortunately, this conversion rate is not very high.

If most of the people who have heard of "Tao Zhu Jinbei" bought this stuff, then things would really be a big mess.

Sun Shaozong was a little relaxed now, and asked the four people: "You few, why do you want to buy and sell this thing?"

"Back to your lord's words."

The book official first handed his hands and said: "This thing has auspicious meaning and is said to have the benefit of making a family prosperous, so I bought twelve of them and kept them at home."

"But I don't know how expensive it is?"

"The villain bought it earlier and shared thirty-two taels of silver."

The book official said that at this time, he was quite self-satisfied, because now the twelve middle-grade gold shells in the market have risen to nearly fifty taels of silver.

"My mother, it turns out this thing is so valuable!"

When the next servant heard it, he couldn't help but screamed: "No wonder they are using this thing as a bargaining chip when they go to the casino to play money now!"

"To be a bargaining chip?"

Sun Shaozong raised his brows and hurriedly asked: "Nowadays, casinos really use this thing as a bargaining chip?!"

The few yamen exchanged their eyes, and the tongue-in-cheek said, "If you go back to the master, it doesn't seem like every family is like this. It's just that the gambling house that the little people often go to has recently replaced some of it with this thing. Bamboo chip, one can hold five coins!"

Another person added: "Master, the little ones actually only used it in the gambling house, and didn't bring the thing home. Actually, there are many people like us."

As soon as his voice fell, two scriveners and four bureaucrats flashed out behind them, all of them sincerely and fearfully said: "My lord [Master], it’s not the next [little] who deliberately concealed it. I really don’t know how to use it as a bargaining chip. I bought and sold this thing."

Gee~

Playing as a bargaining chip in a gambling house is not worth mentioning when it is small. After all, many gambling houses used bamboo chips as a bargaining chip in order to avoid the trouble of weighing money.

But if this matter gets bigger, it gives Jinbei the ability to exchange it into equivalent silver at any time!

Sun Shaozong thought a little, then asked again: "Then if you bring similar Jinbei by yourself, can you be a bargaining chip?"

"This one……"

Several gamblers exchanged glances, and shook their heads together: "The Jinbei in the gambling house are all stamped on the inside with the Jinbei from abroad. They are afraid they will not recognize it."

One of them said, "It’s not that I don’t deny it. I heard that only two gold shells can be exchanged for a stamped gold shell. But this thing can be sold directly for four dollars and more than silver, so fools are willing. Let's exchange it with them!"

In this way, although it is much inferior to the legendary market price, it can indeed be exchanged for silver in the gambling house!

"Huh~"

At this time, the book collector who collected Jinbei suddenly sniffed his nose and said, "My lord, the Jinbei they are talking about are just inferior inferior products. Compared with real Jinbei, they are valuable and attractive. They are far worse, let alone the superb'Tao Zhu Jinbei'!"

Hearing this, he should be the one who is most familiar with this thing among the hundreds of people present.

Sun Shaozong pretended to be very interested and asked: "But I don't know what is the difference between the two?"

"Return to your lord."

Just listen to the bookkeeper's endless words: "The real gold shell is pure white all over, and the gold thread that composes the coin pattern is bright gold; while the inferior gold shell is more mixed in color, and the gold thread that makes up the coin pattern It is even more bleak, even the pattern is very fuzzy!"

"As for the top-quality'Tao Zhu Jin Bei', not only is the color more transparent, there are even some words in the coin pattern!"

As he said, he spread his hands and said, "Unfortunately, I never brought Jinbei here, otherwise I can distinguish it carefully for the adults."

Unexpectedly, his voice fell, and someone behind him suddenly shouted, "You didn't bring it, but I did it!"

Just a minute away from the crowd, Qiu Yunfei was late with a cloth bag. When he got closer, he shook the cloth bag away, but saw that there was nothing but three shells inside.

"After your lord's order yesterday, I asked people to find three of them. They were'Tao Zhu Jinbei!' worth four dollars, four taels, and thirty taels of silver!"

Although the people that this kid associates with are a bit worse, his work efficiency is not bad.

Sun Shaozong raised his chin to the book official and said, "Since we already have something, let me tell the officer to distinguish it."

The book official didn't refuse, his eyes gleamed close, and he took the three gold shells carefully, and quickly discarded one of the impure color.

As for the other two, he held it in his hand and distinguished it carefully for a long time. Then he took the one in one hand and put the right hand in front of Sun Shaozong, saying: "Look at this gold shell, the whole body is white, and the gold thread is clear and transparent. It's very different from the gray one, and it's a genuine one at a glance!"

Immediately, he showed another one to Sun Shaozong, and said excitedly: "As for this one, the color is delicate and translucent, and it looks like ivory. There is another faint word'bao' on the left side of the money pattern, which is really rare in the world.' Tao Zhu Jinbei'Ah!"

When he introduced, Sun Shaozong also took a close look at the two shells. To tell the truth, they looked really good. Seeing that they belonged to the sea shells, the gold thread did faintly form a copper coin pattern.

but……

The so-called "bao", if it weren't the **** that the book official said, Sun Shaozong hadn't really seen it as a word.

Seeing the excitement of this book official, Sun Shaozong asked curiously: "But I don't know how much this'Tao Zhu Jinbei' is worth?"

"Fifty...no, sixty taels!"

The book official said with convincing words: "If it is down, as long as it is not more than sixty taels, it will be included in the bag!"

"Sixty taels?"

Sun Shaozong frowned and said, "Isn't that this thing, the market price is about 28 taels?"

"That is the price that is only given when there is only one fuzzy text." Just listen to the bookkeeper said: "But the word'bao' on it can be distinguished vaguely, and its worth is naturally far more than the average'Tao Zhu Jinbei'. '!"

"If the word'bao' can be made clearer, the price will not be a problem if the price exceeds 100 taels!"

The price is more than a hundred taels?

Lin Delu's eyes widened unconsciously, and he lost his voice: "This shell with a strange pattern needs a hundred taels of silver to change? Are you crazy?!"

"My lord's words are bad!"

When the book official heard that someone belittled the value of'Tao Zhu Jinbei'~www.readwn.com~, he didn't care about his dignity and inferiority, and he raised his head and said incessantly: "The rule of taking shellfish as treasure is old. There is it, so there is a "baby" talk!"

"What's more, these Jinbei are only found on the banks of the Western Mandala Lake. How difficult is it to travel thousands of miles to the capital?"

"Therefore, rather than a villain, there are many masters in the city today, and they all admire them!"

"For example, in the home of a certain member named Li in Dongcheng, there is a superb'Tao Zhu Jinbei' with a clear'Zhou' on it. It is really my treasure of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He heard that someone offered 500 taels of silver. Cut love!"

"An old Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy even sighed,'I would rather eat without meat than hide without shells"!"

"How good is it to get such a ‘baby’ for a mere hundred taels of silver?!"

Hearing all this in one breath, many people, including Lin Delu, looked at the Jinbei again, and they really felt more golden.
