Tibetan Sea Pearl

After saying goodbye to several old men, Mr. Staff did not go back to the house immediately, but arranged for someone to go out to inquire about Mr. Huo.

Mr. Huo usually doesn't leave the capital easily. Something very important must have happened.

"It is said that they came here for the last tribute." Mr. Staff told Lin Cheng the news he found out, "A treasure was lost on the tribute boat."

Lin Cheng had nothing to do to practice swords in the bamboo forest in the back garden. He didn't go out all day today. He only wore a moon-white homely clothes, and his hair was tied with a black net scarf. He dressed casually.

baby?

After listening to Mr. Staff's report, Lin Cheng didn't stop, and asked, "Do you know what treasure is missing?"

Mr. Staff took a step or two forward, "I don't know, it's strange to say that it's such a big thing to lose something, and it's not rumored that it's come back to the tribute boat, and no one in Huaiyuan Station mentioned it."

What's more, even the people in Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi were alarmed, so it can be seen that what was lost was not an ordinary thing.

In winter, the cold wind is blowing, and a breeze blows through the bamboo forest, making rustling noises, adding a bit of coldness.

There are fallen leaves all over the yard.

Lin Cheng stopped suddenly and threw the sword in his hand to the boy beside him.

Yunshan reached out to take it, and held the sword firmly in his arms. As the young master's servant, he was already very skilled in sending and receiving swords for the young master, and he would not be embarrassed by the sword falling on the ground.

He was a little proud in his heart, but he was a little unconvinced. This guy Nansong didn't come back after going out for so long, and he didn't even write him a letter. The letters he wrote were all for the son, and he didn't mention it in the letter. Thanks to him, he treats people like brothers.

But Yunshan quickly left Nansong behind, because the young master turned and left, and he followed closely with his sword in his arms.

Mr. Staff walked beside Lin Cheng, talking with people side by side, "Not only the old Yizhan and the people in the Yizhan, but also several merchants were called over for questioning."

Lin Cheng walked slowly and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Mr. Staff also slowed down, followed his pace, and shook his head, "Everyone doesn't know what's lost, and who dares to touch it if it's a tribute."

If someone finds out about embezzlement of tribute, he will be punished according to the crime of adultery.

Although businessmen are greedy, they don't dare to collect all kinds of money. They know the bottom line better than anyone else.

Lin Cheng stopped and looked at him sideways, "It's not easy for us to interfere with the Jinyiwei's case, let's see what they want to do first."

Although his face was calm, his voice was a bit serious.

Mr. Huo's immediate boss is the emperor, and he works for the emperor. I don't know if this matter is the emperor's intention.

The staff member also knew that this matter was very difficult, it was best not to get involved, so he quickly bowed his head and said yes.

……

On the day of the engagement, the Su family changed their usual low profile and invited many relatives and friends to the engagement ceremony. Everyone knew that Su Qing was engaged.

The people who made up their minds were married. Many families with daughters couldn't help but sigh, but they didn't think about it anymore. The son-in-law of other people had nothing to do with them.

Peng Shi, the second wife of the Gu family in the eastern suburbs outside the city, also learned the news, but the Su family didn't send her a post, she got it from someone else.

"Why did the Su family collude with the Yang family?" She said angrily.

Peng's face was gloomy and cold, and the servants who served beside her didn't dare to say anything, they all lowered their eyebrows and bowed their heads like quails.

Collusion?It cannot be regarded as collusion, the two families are just married.

"Let's talk about it." Peng's eyes swept over the crowd, and he pointed out, randomly picking out a person from the crowd.

She was too angry. Although she said that the water thrown by the married daughter was raised by other people, but with the support of the Su family, the Yang family will continue to grow.

There are also members of the Gu family who are officials outside, and she doesn't know anything about the officialdom, but recently, a letter from the big house seems to be not going well in the official career.

The elders of the Gu family lamented that the Gu family has no successors, and if there is no more Jinshi in the Gu family to take over the position of the elder of the Gu family, the official career of the entire Gu family will be cut off.

The members of the Gu family pinned their hopes on Gu Yannian. Gu Yannian failed last time, and he won't end until next year at the earliest.

If it goes well, you will become a Jinshi, but if it doesn't go well, who knows?

God was too unfair to their Gu family, Gu Yannian should have been elected in the last round.

One happy and one sad, such a stark contrast, made Peng even more angry.

A servant girl pointed out by her, with a sad expression, walked out from the crowd and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Ma'am, I don't know anything. I don't know what the Su family is."

The maid trembled like she was sifting chaff, crying and kowtowed, while looking aside.

None of the servants present stood up to speak for her.

The morals and morals of this world have nothing to do with oneself, and whoever is full is going to stand up and say a few words of justice at this time.

I can only blame her for being unlucky.

Mrs. Peng is sinister and vicious. The last time the accountant and Ms. Gu Jiu said a few more words in the veranda, the accountant disappeared inexplicably. Everyone knew that the accountant was dead, but no one stood up. Come out and say a word of justice for the accountant.

The maid trembled, knocked her head heavily on the ground, and begged for mercy from Mrs. Peng.

She is dead this time.

The nanny in charge stood outside the door and listened for a while. Someone from the outer court asked her for something, so she just avoided it. When she came back, she heard that Mrs. Peng was taking down someone to vent her anger.

A maid hurriedly tugged on her sleeve, "Nurse, please save her."

The sound of kowtowing came from the house clearly and rhythmically.

The nurse in charge cast a sidelong glance at the maidservant, and pushed her hand away vigorously, "Don't blame me for being ruthless, we can't ask what the master wants to do, and we can't control it."

It's a joke for her to offend Peng Shi for the sake of a maid.

The master is not happy, of course he will take down the person to vent his anger. When encountering such a thing, it is right to pretend that he did not see or hear.

The nanny in charge smiled mercilessly and walked away.

It's no wonder that Mrs. Peng is not happy. The marriage between the Su family and the Yang family, and the marriage of the two surnames, was originally a happy event, but whoever told the other party to be the Yang family, Mrs. Peng can see that the Yang family is not in the slightest.

Because it is still in the New Year and there is no Lantern Festival, Mrs. Peng doesn't want to make any bad things happen. fortune.

"Okay." She said coldly, waving her hands, "Let's all go down."

The fright was really frightened, the servants all backed out, looked at the maid who was kneeling on the ground, the maid was a small ball, her face was pale, her forehead was red, and they also stopped.

She thought she was going to die.

Didn't expect her to come back to life.

Speaking of work, the maid woke up with a start and crawled out.

After such a fuss, Peng's heart was stagnated, and the anger did not dissipate, but she felt a little headache. She raised her hand and pressed her forehead.

It's not a big deal to take down people to vent your anger.
