Ye Zelin replied: "If the time comes, my uncle will naturally say, why should I ask."

Zhang Zhongjian smiled with satisfaction: "Boy, you know how to measure things."

Ye Zelin just smiled indifferently and said nothing, not because he knew the rules, but because this matter was a bit complicated, and he had his own considerations if he didn't ask, and there were advantages to not asking.

Ye Zelin thought of Yue Zheng, "When he first met Yue Zheng, Yue Zheng thought Fu Shu was his sister. Unexpectedly, Fu Shu was really his sister. Yue Zheng's eyes were very similar to Fu Shu's, both were round and clear apricot eyes. Maybe this was It’s blood.”

Zhang Zhongjian sighed softly: "Yes, actually Yue Zheng is quite similar to Hua'er in some aspects when he was young. It's only been ten years, and Hua'er has grown so big that I can't even recognize him."

"There is some resemblance." Ye Zelin said casually. Except for their eyes, he didn't think Yue Zheng was very similar to Hua Fushu. Yue Zheng was simple and stupid, but Hua Fushu was not as smart and smart as Yue Zheng.

A hint of cunning flashed across his eyes, and he said: "Speaking of which, Fu Shu's sister is somewhat similar to Yue Zheng, with big eyes, long eyelashes, and a high nose."

This is just nonsense made by Ye Zelin. Hua Duwu's appearance has changed after that of Mrs. Qi Die.

This statement successfully aroused Zhang Zhongjian's interest, and he asked: "Hua'er has a sister? My sister-in-law gave birth to another daughter?"

Ye Zelin nodded, "That child is a beggar and dances alone. She is very beautiful. She is older than Yue Zheng and is also Yue Zheng's sister."

Zhang Zhongjian knew that his sister-in-law was in poor health and had only two children. Suddenly, he heard that he had a niece. He was already very fond of flowers and trees and houses, and he suddenly wanted to meet his little niece who dances alone.

Mentioning Yue Zheng, Sai Yuhuan felt sad. She had not seen her son for several days and missed him very much. She originally wanted to go to Qinzhou to find her son after killing Cai Yuanchang, but Ye Zelin stopped her.

Ye Zelin said a few more words to Zhang Zhongjian, and then stood up to make a speech on the grounds of Cai Yuanchang's case. Zhang Zhongjian sent him out. He suddenly remembered something and said: "That day in Qingyun Mountain, those men in black came to rescue you. Who are you and why do you call me Young Master Hua'er?"

Ye Zelin whispered a few words in Zhang Zhongjian's ear and walked away.

As soon as Ye Zelin left and the door closed, he turned around and saw Sai Yuhuan looking at him. Sai Yuhuan said: "Hua Mingqiao, I miss my son."

There is only one thing and one person in the world that Sai Yuhuan cares most about, and that thing is revenge, and that person is her son Yue Zheng.

Zhang Zhongjian also missed his son very much. He stroked Sai Yuhuan's hair and said, "I miss Yue Zheng too."

Sai Yuhuan said: "What did that boy say to you just now?"

Zhang Zhongjian said: "He said Hua'er is the inner disciple of Lanling City Lord."

Sai Yuhuan was startled, as if a piece of peerless jade had been smashed in front of her, and she said: "This little girl's background is not small."

She had heard of Lanling. Lanling was the only place in the Song Dynasty that was not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. It gathered merchants, doctors, Jianghu and other forces, as well as many family forces. It was very complex and there were few people. Dare to take Lan Ling's idea.

No wonder Hua Fushu dared to make a deal with her. It turned out that the power of Lanling was behind her. Hua Fushu should not be underestimated.

Ye Zelin made two flower carvings in the restaurant, then found a restaurant, and after eating and drinking, he brought a large food basket back to the Jiedushi Mansion.

Seeing Ye Zelin coming, Yu Chisu gently put down the red porcelain vase in his hand, strode towards him, and took the food basket from Ye Zelin's hand, "Oh, Brother Ye is so considerate, knowing that we are so hungry that our chests are touching our backs. "

Lao Qiao put away the pen and paper for recording, took the two jars of wine from Ye Zelin's hand, and helped Yu Chisu place the food for the food cage on the round table of yellow pear wood. He faced Ye Zelin and said, "Young General, your Excellency is in Cai Yuanchang's house. Study, please ask him to come over for dinner. Susu and I ate first, we are starving to death." He sat down, grabbed the steamed bun and ate it without asking Ye Zelin if he had eaten.

After working all morning, Yu Chisu was very hungry. He hurriedly sat down and took a big gulp of rice with a bowl of white rice. He was starving to death.

Ye Zelin went to Cai Yuanchang's study and invited Yu Xuanji to dinner.

At this time, the sun was three o'clock in the morning, and Yu Xuanji had already written a memorial stating the facts of the case. He said, "Let's see how it goes."

Ye Zelin read it carefully and said, "It's very good. The story of the case is written in great detail."

Yu Xuanji was also satisfied with the memorial he had written. He said: "The memorials and files written by me are the best in the Ministry of Punishment, just like the corpse inscriptions written by Lao Qiao are the best in the Ministry of Punishment."

Ye Zelin twitched the corner of his mouth.

Yu Xuanji said: "Cai Yuanchang is determined to die. My ability is limited, so I will interrogate those who can. After returning to Beijing, I will report to Your Majesty and ask Dali Temple to intervene in the follow-up trial of this case. Everyone in Dali Temple will More capable than me."

Ye Zelin didn't understand. Yu Xuanji had previously said that the case was over, so why did he want Dali Temple to intervene? He wanted to try it again?

He said, "Master Yu, isn't the case over? Why does it need to be tried again?"

Yu Xuanji picked up the white jade Ganoderma pen washer and looked at it, "Look, this pen is carved from precious suet jade. It was made by the jade carving master Cao Mengde. It also has Cao Mengde's private seal engraved on it. It doesn't cost more than a few thousand taels of silver." You can’t buy it.”

He put down the brush washer, walked to a decorative shelf, took a vase from it, held it in his hand and looked at it, looking at it a little more seriously than he was looking at the brush washer.

Seeing this, Ye Zelin couldn't help but have the illusion that Yu Xuanji was not talking about the case, but looking at antiques.

Yu Xuanji stroked the vase, feeling its delicate color glaze and admiring its exquisite patterns. He said: "This is an ancient relic from the previous dynasty. A few years ago, I went to the Prince Jing'an Mansion to have a drink, and I was lucky enough to see a man like it. It’s almost the same, it’s genuine, not a fake, King Jing’an said he bought it for 30,000 taels of silver.”

Ye Zelin was confused, "Master Yu, what does this vase have to do with the case?"

Yu Xuanji's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth slightly, "Of course it does matter. It matters a lot."

Ye Zelin corrected him: "Uncle Yu, the vase has nothing to do with Cai Yuanchang's case. You must be confused."

Yu Xuanji carefully put the vase back and motioned for Ye Zelin to lower his head. Ye Zelin lowered his head. Yu Xuanji unexpectedly hit Ye Zelin's forehead hard and said, "I saw you so smart in the past. Why are you missing the vase now?" It has nothing to do with the 100,000 official silver case, but has something to do with another case."

Another case?

Ye Zelin looked confused and said, "Which case?"

Yu Xuanji said seriously: "Corruption and bribery case."

Ye Zelin suddenly understood. He looked carefully at Cai Yuanchang's study. The wooden couch, tables, chairs, and desks were all made of precious wood. The hanging calligraphy and paintings were all handwritten by famous artists, and the porcelain vases with flowers were also made by famous kilns. Everywhere was made of precious wood. Every inch reveals luxury and beauty. Just for this small study, if you convert it into silver, it would add up to about one hundred thousand taels of silver.
