Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Well, the copper bells on the necks of the two horses are very big, but they never rang. The wooden barrels on the carriage also made different sounds. The lonely king thinks there is something wrong."

"Is there really something in there?"

"The lonely king is not sure, so go and see."

"My lord, let's inform the Kaifeng mansion."

"I'm not sure how to report it. If not, wouldn't it scare them, and the job won't be done by then."

"Then what if it's true?"

"Doing this will never be a temporary idea. There will always be something left. If Gu Wang's guess is true, it will not be too late to inform Kaifeng Mansion."

Baili on the side tilted his head and listened for a long time, "My lord, what did you say to General Song? Why didn't you understand?"

Jia Jun took a look at Baili, "I can't understand the words, but can I understand them?"

"Who are you talking about!" Baili pushed Jiajun, then pointed at him, "Look at him, my lord!"

Defang smiled and shook her head, "The lonely king has nothing to do with you two, hehehe"

The three of Defang came to Jiaomenzi on foot, and after inquiring, they learned that the three brothers who collected night fragrance for the palace were named Xia. Because two generations of the family worked for the palace, they were quite famous in this area. I found out that the brothers surnamed Xia originally lived in Jiaomenzi with their parents, but they recently sold their old house and just sold a house outside the city with a few acres of land. This is a bit different from what they said before. Jia Jun said, "Your Majesty, although a house outside the city is not as good as inside the city, it is worth a lot of money. Adding the few mu of land, it seems that they really have a problem."

"No hurry," Defang said, "They just passed here, let's go and have a look."

The three walked out of the city quickly, and saw the three brothers driving the carriage a little farther away, so the three followed closely. The three brothers surnamed Xia didn't seem to be in a hurry, talking and laughing all the way slowly. Stopped behind, Defang and the three hid aside, the three brothers jumped off the horse and looked around, pulled the carriage and entered the back door, Defang signaled, Jiajun quickly came to the wall, with the help of the door pier, climbed up the wall, and it took a long time to jump After returning to Defang, Baili frowned and said, "You're a cat, you've been sitting on the wall for so long, your legs are sore from waiting."

Defang stretched out his hand and patted Baili's forehead, "I knew my legs were sore, and I said Gu Wang, Jiajun is a cat and you are a mouse."

Jia Jun snorted, "He's a mouse, even cats don't eat him."

"you you you"

Defang nodded Baili's nose, "You still make trouble while you're doing business, and then go back and beat you up."

Baili stuck out her tongue, and Defang asked, "Jiajun, what did you see?"

"As expected by the lord, there are two small tea bowls hidden in the copper bells of the two horses, and there is a layer in the wooden barrel, which wraps two porcelain vases. They must have been stolen from the palace."

"Ah?" Bailiyi was startled when he heard that, "They are too courageous, stealing from the palace will be decapitated."

"The crime is big, but the benefit is also big, otherwise they dare to risk the crime of beheading to steal it." Defang looked at the house, "Although this house is very remote, it is worth two or three thousand taels of silver at least. Three taels of silver, three people are only nine taels, one year is only one hundred and eighty taels, ten years is only more than a thousand taels, it is worth it if you count their parents' money, but it will not be a penny for more than 3000 years, right? In addition to the several acres of land over there, it has only been two years for the three brothers to take over from their parents to work, and they bought a house and a field so quickly, it can be seen that the stolen items are not just a few, but... "
