The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 367 The origin of the jade pendant
In the mansion of the gods.

A man in brocade was kneeling before the mysterious man.

"Yang Qingyuan has found Wanli Casino! I have sent people to burn it down, but the people in Dali Temple seem to have found some clues!"

The mysterious man didn't think at all, "Oh?! We found you!?"

The man in brocade immediately said, "That's not the case. Yang Qingyuan has not shown any abnormal behavior for the time being, but he must have suspected me! What should I do, Your Highness?!"

"You don't have to worry, Yang Qingyuan insists on investigating this case, we don't need to take action directly, just add fuel to the flames and there will be people to help you stop him!"

The man in Jinyi doesn't know what His Highness is talking about? !But with His Highness's political wisdom, most of them are right.

"You've met him before, right?"

"Yes!"

The mysterious man thought for a moment, then shook his head, "It's okay! The current Yang Qingyuan may be in a quagmire, so we can just watch from the sidelines! Don't take the initiative to enter his sight!!"

"Yes!"

"Although you've done this damn thing, you've pretended to be yourself and worked hard for me all these years. I'll protect you this time!"

"Thank you Your Highness!!"
-
What Zhuge Shenhou said, Yang Qingyuan certainly understood that after eight years in office, he was no longer a rookie who just entered the Imperial Academy.

Now, Yang Qingyuan's political wisdom cannot be called a politician, but he can be a qualified bureaucrat.

The Li Shou case at this moment has been tried and reviewed by Wannian County, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and the Son of Heaven. Since then, the sound of drums has been heard and the world has been shaken.

Emperor Zhou also personally issued an order to review the case.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Punishment formed a joint investigation team, and also recruited capable personnel from Dali Temple to conduct a re-examination, but still found no problems.

This case once became synonymous with the strict laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, strict trials, and judicial fairness.

If it is found that there is something wrong with this case, I don’t know how many people will be relegated because of this. All the officials and departments who handled the case, including Dali Temple, almost all the government offices will be punished.

The majesty of the imperial court will also be shaken!

I don't know how many people in the DPRK do not want him to investigate this case.

Of course Yang Qingyuan understood the resistance involved, but Grandma Li couldn't die in vain, hundreds of people in Wannian County couldn't die in vain, and the brothers who died in Dali Temple couldn't die in vain! !

If he really gave up on this case, Yang Qingyuan was afraid that he would be troubled by his inner demons and be troubled by them for life.

Not to mention breaking through the realm of the cave, I am afraid that in the future, it will be difficult to sleep peacefully!

"Thank you, Brother Zhuge, for your advice! I've made up my mind!"

Zhuge Zheng I looked at Yang Qingyuan and sighed in my heart.

Knowing the world but not the world, the calendar is smooth and naive.

Commendable!

However, the difficulty of this case cannot be reversed by an individual. He is facing various interest groups, various political forces, and even the majesty of the emperor and the court.

"Qingyuan is going here, if there is anything to help, you can order someone to spread the word to the Shenhou Mansion! Although my strength is meager, I am willing to help Qingyuan!"

Yang Qingyuan, who was already walking towards the door, froze slightly, then turned around slowly, bowed to Lord Zhuge before turning and leaving, leaving only a back view.

My heart is a rock, and I can't turn it around. My heart is a bed, and I can't roll it.

Yang Qingyuan left the Shenhou Mansion, and headed towards Yufang. He had already made an appointment with the shopkeeper of Junqiong Yufang!
"Master Yang! I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

As soon as Yang Qingyuan arrived at Junqiongfang, the shopkeeper of Junqiongfang was waiting for him at the door.

What Yang Qingyuan didn't expect was that the owner of the largest jade workshop in the capital was actually a woman.

"I didn't expect the famous owner of Junqiong Fang, Mr. Yusan, to be a woman! It's really unexpected!"

"I've heard elder sister Qing talk about Mr. Yang! He is indeed a young man!"

Mr. Yusan, with a stunning figure and an extremely gorgeous face, has golden gradient hair, a red skirt with slits, and silk stockings to wrap his legs!

The boots under her feet showed her figure even more.

Looking at this style of painting, Yang Qingyuan couldn't help complaining in his heart, "This style of painting, can't it be someone who traps the net!?"

Yang Qingyuan made a silent note in his heart, and followed Mr. Yusan into the shop.

After the two sat down, Yang Qingyuan took out two black cloth bags from his arms.Putting on whale leather gloves, he took out a folding fan and a white jade fan pendant from it.

At the same time, Yang Qingyuan also handed a pair of whale leather gloves to Mr. Yusan.

"Master Yu, please put on these gloves!"

Mr. Yusan didn't ask too much, everyone has different habits towards their own jade, and it's reasonable that some people are not used to outsiders touching their own jade.

After receiving the fan pendant and folding fan, Mr. Yusan examined them carefully.

"Tsk tsk! The material of this jade is really top-quality! I have been in the industry for many years! I have never seen such a good white jade material!"

"So, are the pendant and the bones of the folding fan really made of the same material?!"

"Of course, one piece of this kind of material is hard to come by, let alone two pieces of such high quality?! Besides, there are no two pieces of jade that are exactly the same in the world!"

Mr. Yusan couldn't put it down for white jade folding fans and jade materials, and he kept flipping through them.

"According to Mr. Yusan, suet white jade of this quality is not common, so do you know, sir, which jade workshop in Shendu has sold such a material?!"

Mr. Yusan covered his lips and smiled, "Master Yang is joking, not to mention the capital of God, even in the entire Great Zhou, there has never been such a material sold in 30 years! Not even a jade carving master has carved such a jade material." !"

"Mr. Yusan sure?!"

"Judging from this white jade fan pendant, this jade material is delicate, moist and flawless, and white as fat. As for the sun, it can almost transmit light! This kind of suet white jade is a treasure in the world! If it really passes through the hands of major jade workshops, It will definitely cause a sensation! It will cause looting by rich merchants and dignitaries from all sides."

"Besides, white jade of this quality is not necessarily sold by major jade workshops. This kind of precious jade can be used as the treasure of a jade workshop. With this kind of precious jade sitting in the store, the reputation of Yufang will suddenly increase. Can go up."

Although Yang Qingyuan has learned about white jade from the collection of books, it is different from practice after all on paper.

Yang Qingyuan originally thought that this pendant was only carved from a piece of high-quality white jade, but he really didn't expect that white jade is so precious!
After taking back the folding fan and the fan pendant, Yang Qingyuan already had a calculation in his heart!

Since it is not a jade material circulated among the people, it has something to do with the palace!

The rare treasures in the world, which are not available in the folk, must be specially offered by the royal family!
Thinking of this, Yang Qingyuan stood up and said goodbye, "Thank you Mr. Yusan for your help today!"

"Where is Master Yang? Cooperating with Dali Temple in investigating cases is what we ordinary people should do. Dali Temple keeps the capital safe, and we can't help it normally. Now we finally have a chance! How dare we not help?!"

"Besides, Mr. Yang is Sister Qing's confidant, so thank you and see you!"

Yang Qingyuan: "..."

He had known for a long time that Master Qingwu was not simple, but at this moment, it seemed that Master Qingwu was far more powerful than Yang Qingyuan imagined!

After leaving Junqiongfang, Yang Qingyuan walked towards Daming Palace.

Naturally, Yang Qingyuan is not qualified to consult the precious jade recorded by the Inner Court Secretary in the palace, it is the private property of the royal family, not to mention Yang Qingyuan, a young minister of the Dali Temple, even the chief assistant of the cabinet, is also not qualified to consult!
But Yang Qingyuan still has a way.

His two disciples are currently the richest prince and princess in the royal family!

Although this is not enough for Yang Qingyuan to check the private treasury of the royal family, it is still no problem to go to the general to make inspection records.

This jade pendant is not only precious in material, but its carving technique is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Since the jade carving masters in the major workshops have never carved before, it seems that the only person with such skills is a prisoner!

Jade carving is different from clay carving, wood carving and stone carving.

The craftsmanship of master jade carving requires a lot of jade to be fed.

Such a jade carver cannot be afforded by ordinary dignitaries or businessmen.

Even with such huge financial resources, if there is no related business, there is no need to support it.

Therefore, as a special profession, jade carving will only appear in specific places.

It just so happens that the prisoner is such a special place.The supervisory committee will be responsible for the production of all gold and silver objects of the royal family, including jade carvings of course.

When Yang Qingyuan walked to the gate of Jiangzuo Prison, someone was already waiting at the gate of Jiangzuo Prison.

It was Yang Qingyuan's biggest disciple, Xiaojiu Zhu Qionghua!

Today's Xiaojiu is different from usual, Zhu Qionghua is dressed in palace attire, looking luxurious and solemn.

Originally, when she followed Yang Qingyuan in class, her blue silk might hang down like a waterfall or her hair would be pulled up like a jade hairpin, looking refreshing and neat, but today Xiao Jiu is full of crows.

Two locks of smooth hair hang down, floating on the ears and cheeks.She was dressed in a bright yellow palace dress, decorated with pieces of watery jade.

When Xiao Jiu saw Yang Qingyuan, she smiled sweetly, slightly lifted her palace skirt and walked gracefully towards Yang Qingyuan.

Between walking and walking, the jade pieces on the skirt collide with each other, which is exquisite and pleasant to the ear.Let the originally dignified Princess Da Zhou look a little more lively than a girl should.

"Master, you are here! I have arranged everything!"

In today's palace, besides the emperor and the empress, Xiao Jiu and Thirteen are the most annoying people.

Without him, these two are too rich!

When Emperor Zhou agreed to open Tiandi Bank, he did not expect that [-]% of the shares of Tiandi Bank could have such a profit.

"See Princess Nine!"

When the guard at the gate of the prison saw Xiao Jiu, he saluted immediately.

Xiao Jiu said to the maid behind her, "You can't get in here, listen to the Bamboo Palace first!"

The prison is located on the outskirts of the Daming Palace, and it is already overstepped for ordinary court ladies to come here privately, so it is naturally impossible to let them enter.

Of course, it would be a different matter if they came with Xiao Jiu, but it is impossible to let them enter the workshop where they will be the prison.

Xiao Jiu's personal maid named Xia Yu immediately replied after hearing Xiao Jiu's words.

"Your Highness, how can we leave His Highness alone here?! The servants are waiting for His Highness outside the door!"

Xiao Jiu waved his hand, "Master and I have something to do in the prison! I don't know how long it will take?! It's a waste of time for you to stand here, why don't you go back to the palace first!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Jiu motioned for them to back down!
After speaking, he took Yang Qingyuan's hand and ran all the way into the gate of the general prison.

Seeing Xiao Jiu at this moment, Yang Qingyuan couldn't help laughing. The dignified and elegant just now is really not suitable for a 15-year-old girl like Xiao Jiu. It is normal to be so lively now.

Yang Qingyuan became Xiao Jiu's teacher when she was seven years old, and eight years have passed in a flash!

The time Xiaojiu and Yang Qingyuan have been together is longer than Zhou Di's father!
Yang Qingyuan didn't realize that his disciple was already a slim girl!

At this age, folk women can even talk about marriage!

After entering a courtyard, Xiao Jiu and Yang Qingyuan came to a room led by a guard.

An old man with gray hair was drawing a blueprint with his head down.

"My lord! Princess Nine and her friends are here!"

The old man was a little impatient at first, but when he heard about the Ninth Princess, he immediately cheered up and put down the blueprint in his hand.

"Your Highness! Veteran sees Your Highness!"

After a hasty salute, the old man said, "Your Highness is here to give that piece of ink green?!"

The Nanyue vassal state unintentionally dug up a piece of peerless black green jade, which was called a masterpiece, and provided it to the emperor as a tribute.

The emperor rewarded Xiaojiu for his own money to be more generous!
Of course, Xiao Jiu is also very generous. With a wave of his little hand, he transferred 20 taels of silver into the money!
Several jade carvers who will be in charge heard the news, and everyone coveted this piece of black jade.

Although their jade carvers do not lack ordinary jade materials, top-level jadeite is not something that can be encountered casually!

Xiao Jiu used this as a bait to let them find out what Yang Qingyuan needed.

Whoever can provide accurate information will entrust this piece of ink green to be engraved!

In the end, the jade carving master surnamed Meng in front of him won out among the crowd.

"Master Meng, I made an agreement with you at the time! Mo Cui can give you the carving! But you have to trade it for news!"

Master Meng immediately said, "Of course! I, Lao Meng, are not the kind of big talkers! I must have found out before I dared to speak to Your Highness!"

Xiao Jiu didn't rush to ask, but pulled Yang Qingyuan to introduce, "Master Meng, this is my teacher."

Yang Qingyuan also bowed politely, "Dali Temple Shaoqing Yang Qingyuan!"

Old man Meng carved jade for most of his life in the general prison, and there are many dignitaries!

Masters of jade carving like them all eat the imperial food.

For example, old man Meng, although he is only a handicraft craftsman, is an official to the sixth rank, and is a craftsman used by the emperor!
Occasionally, he would also do some private work for some clan dignitaries, a young minister of Dali Temple was like this in the eyes of old man Meng!

However, whether Mo Cui can get it depends on whether this person is satisfied, and old man Meng doesn't dare to trust her.

"Your Highness! Lord Yang! It's inconvenient to talk here, so follow me to the side and discuss in detail!"

Xiao Jiu looked at the messy drawings on old man Meng's desk, and nodded in agreement. This place is really not suitable for talking.

The three came to the side, Yang Qingyuan still took out a pair of whale leather gloves and put them on!
Then the fan and fan pendant were taken out.

The old man Meng, who didn't know why, thought that Yang Qingyuan put on his gloves because of his love for Baiyu, and he recognized Yang Qingyuan's attitude!
People who like jade are good people!
Old man Meng's is so simple and pure!
"Mr. Meng, show me, do you know this fan and the fan pendant?"

Old man Meng took the fan and fan pendant from Yang Qingyuan's hand, but after looking at them briefly, he opened his mouth and said.

"This fan and the pendant are indeed made of the same piece of jade, and they were carved by the same jade carving master!"

Yang Qingyuan saw that old man Meng spoke so convincingly, he couldn't help confirming it.

"Mr. Meng is sure!?"

"I will never look away!"

Yang Qingyuan and Xiao Jiu wanted to get a reason from old man Meng.

"Because the fan pendant and fan bone are my masterpiece!"

Yang Qingyuan and Xiao Jiu: "..."

This old man Meng is really unique!He calls himself a jade carving master, his skills may be good, but Yang Qingyuan is speechless for this kind of behavior!

"Look, you two!"

Old man Meng pointed to the jade carving and said, "At the bottom of this pendant, there are bamboo leaves painted with seven knives! There is also the inside of the third root of this fan bone! This is my habit when I was carving jade! I will leave a small bamboo leaf in it ! Carved with seven knives, indicating the author!"

It's not just old man Meng, but all famous jade carvers have the habit of leaving a private pattern in an inconspicuous place. Firstly, it can indicate the author, and secondly, it also has a certain anti-counterfeiting effect.

"Since it was carved by the old man, you must know who it belongs to, right?!"

The old man Meng raised his head proudly, "I will never forget any utensils carved by the hands of this old man! This is a piece of Kunshan beautiful jade that the Taizu gave to Duke Ying Feng Wuyi back then! I carved the main body into A mountain of jade! The remaining piece of material was made into this white jade fan bone and fan pendant!"

"Sure enough, it belongs to Duke Ying's mansion!"

Yang Qingyuan murmured when he heard the words.

Then Yang Qingyuan made another bow to old man Meng!
"Thank you, old man, for explaining my doubts!"

Old man Meng quickly waved his hand, "You don't have to be so polite!"

Old man Meng didn't care whether Yang Qingyuan's etiquette was thoughtful, what he cared about was whether the piece of black ink that Xiao Jiu promised could be engraved by himself!

Looking at old man Meng's earnest eyes, Xiao Jiu immediately said, "Master Meng, don't worry! When I say something, it's hard to chase after me! I will never break the contract! Since you have indeed provided useful information, this piece of ink will naturally I will give it to you to carve!"

Xiao Jiu wouldn't break his promise in such a trivial matter!
"Then it's settled! Your Highness, please tell me about the general sculpture, and the little old man will start to design it!"

When it comes to jade carving, old man Meng's whole temperament has changed!

"That piece of jade carving is not small, please carve the bones of two folding fans for me first!"

Xiao Jiu originally had her own plan, but after seeing the white jade fan bone that Yang Qingyuan had just left, she was immediately amazed and changed her mind immediately.

"Your Highness, don't worry! Carving a fan bone is not in the eyes of the little old man!"

After Xiao Jiu promised to send Mo Cui from the palace immediately, she left with Yang Qingyuan.

Yang Qingyuan and Xiao Jiu had just stepped out of the gate of the general prison, and within two steps, a figure stopped in front of Yang Qingyuan and them.

Come here without saying a word!Then he attacked Yang Qingyuan with a palm.

The swiftness of body technique is also among the best among the masters that Yang Qingyuan has seen.

Its palm strength is also extraordinary, the twists and turns between the moves are smooth, and the palm strength can also turn, which is very similar to the unique skill of the Western Xia empress a hundred years ago, Baihong palm strength.

But the person who came didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, and he also kept a sense of proportion between his actions!

Faced with such palm force, Yang Qingyuan pointed like a sword, connecting his fingertips.

Use the finger to represent the sword, and point out several sword qi.
