Raising husband in Zhai Douwen

Shuntian Mansion is the highest local administrative office in the capital, and the governor Xu Yihuan is a third-rank official and a disciple of Mr. Shang.

Xu Yihuan complied with Shang Jingcheng's request and let Yang Jiming work in Shuntianfu Yamen.

After Yang Jiming reported to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, he received two arrest uniforms, which he put on in a slippery manner.

In less than three days, Yang Jiming was familiar with the government office, and Xu Yihuan could hear a few good words from his subordinates from time to time.

The shopkeeper Lu of Baojun Pawnshop in Dongcheng City came to report the case and was extorted 1000 taels of silver.

Xu Yihuan didn't need to personally intervene in such a case.But Xu Yihuan wanted to try Yang Jiming's skills, so he directly sent the case to Yang Jiming to investigate.

However, after all, Yang Jiming was the young master of the Hou family and Shang Jingcheng's prospective son-in-law, so Xu Yihuan asked Zhang Yong, the head catcher, to supervise and help him.

After Yang Jiming and Zhang Yong arrived at Baojun's pawnshop, shopkeeper Lu invited them to the back hall and told the whole story from beginning to end.

Two people were selling a sapphire cup used by the former emperor. A single cup was worth 500 taels of silver, and a pair was worth more than 2000 taels.

At first, when the two knew that someone was about to sell another sapphire cup, they both wanted to buy the other one.They raised the price to 3000 taels, but there is no conclusion.

Later, one of them took the initiative to let go and wanted to sell his sapphire cup to the other party.

He was in a hurry to use the money, so he mortgaged the sapphire cup to shopkeeper Lu, who gave him 1000 taels of silver and agreed to redeem it in two days.If you don't come to redeem it within two days, it will be considered as a death penalty of 1000 taels.

Two days later, that person did not come to redeem the sapphire cup, nor did the other person come to buy it.

If that's the case, shopkeeper Lu will be mistaken and lose hundreds of taels of silver.But shopkeeper Lu found that the sapphire cup in his hand was not the original one, but a fake!

It was this counterfeit that made shopkeeper Lu realize that he had been cheated, and the more he thought about it, the more he became unwilling, so he went to report the case.

After knowing the whole story, Yang Jiming called for an artist and drew the appearance of those two people.

On the one hand, Yang Jiming asked Ling to post a wanted warrant at the gate of the city, on the other hand, he distributed the portraits to inns, restaurants, teahouses and other places, and then waited for news.

When Zhang Yong and him were resting in the teahouse, they asked hesitantly, "Brother Ji Ming, don't we go door-to-door to check?"

"The streets of Dongcheng are full of old neighbors. If someone comes to a stranger's house, you can find out when you go to the street. In other areas, we also ask the brothers who patrol the streets to help pay attention. In my opinion, the two People are more likely to be foreigners.”

"What you said makes sense. The shopkeeper Nalu yelled, and now the entire East City knows what happened. If someone really saw those two people, they would have reported to us long ago."

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Brother Yong for helping you to issue a wanted warrant."

"Hey, it's all trivial matters. Who are we brothers, we don't need this word of thanks!"

Obviously they are new colleagues who have only known each other for a few days, but the two brothers get along as if they have been brothers for many years.

At the table next door by the window, Shang Jiayan's lips involuntarily curled slightly.

He found that his fiancé was a little different from the rumors, his father was right, rumors stop at the wise.

beep, beep...

Shopkeeper Lu ran upstairs in a hurry, went straight to Yang Jiming and Zhang Yong, and said anxiously: "Yang Sanshao, Zhang Butou, I heard that Qi Laoliu, the sugar seller downstairs, said that you two are drinking tea here, so I will go directly to you." coming."

Yang Jiming took a clean bowl, poured a cup of tea and put it aside, "Shopkeeper Lu, sit down and drink some tea, and talk slowly."

After the shopkeeper Lu sat down, he poured a bowl of tea and said, "Both of you, I have asked someone about it. No one in the entire capital has made such a green jade cup in the past few months, and no one has sold it in the ghost market. .”

Yang Jiming pondered slightly, and said: "It seems that outsiders are more likely to cheat. However, those two people deliberately came to the capital to cheat with a pair of real green jade cups and a fake one. , which is also quite strange."

Shopkeeper Lu said worriedly, "Would those two have left long ago?"

Yang Jiming couldn't help frowning slightly, "If the person has really left the capital, it will be difficult to hunt him down."

Zhang Yong also said: "It's been a few days. If it were me, I would run away as soon as I got the money."

Shopkeeper Lu was so sad that he wanted to cry, he said urgently, "What can I do?"

Yang Jiming was silent, thinking about countermeasures, but he was at a loss.

At this time, the young man on the next table scolded his servant: "I asked you to buy two packs of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. How come there are a few pieces of red bean cakes in one pack? Even if they are just as delicious, wrap them in the same oiled paper. It's red bean cake, not sweet-scented osmanthus cake!"

The boy said, "Young Master, I was wrong. The cake seller said that there were only so many sweet-scented osmanthus cakes left, so I asked him to pick a few pieces of red bean cakes to make up for."

Yang Jiming overheard the conversation between the master and the servant next door, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he quickly asked Shopkeeper Lu: "Treasurer Lu, did you compare the two real sapphire cups at the beginning?"

"No, those two never got together in front of me at all."

Yang Jiming chuckled, "I see, in fact, there are no two real sapphire cups, but one real and one fake."

"What San Shao means is that the two sapphire cups they held at the beginning are actually the same one?"

"Yes."

"But why would they do this?"

"If you don't do this, can you take out the 1000 taels quickly? Don't you have to verify the authenticity first?"

Shopkeeper Lu finally came to his senses, and said angrily, "Those two liars!"

Zhang Yong also understood, he laughed and said: "Shopkeeper Lu, he hunts geese all the year round, this time he was pecked by geese."

Shopkeeper Lu beat his chest and stamped his feet with heartache, "Hey, you two, don't bury me."

Yang Jiming said: "It's not time to give up yet, let's continue to find a way." This is the first job he has done since he became a errand, and he doesn't want to give up easily.

Shopkeeper Lu looked at Yang Jiming as if looking at a life-saving straw: "Thank you, Third Young Master, you need to pay more attention to this matter. If you come to my shop to pawn things in the future, I will definitely give you a good price."

Zhang Yong asked in surprise, "Brother Ji Ming, you want to go to the pawnshop to pawn things?"

Yang Jiming coughed and said, "Some things that are not needed are sold at the pawnshop so as not to be wasted."

After saying this, he said to shopkeeper Lu: "Treasurer Lu is not polite about matters of duty."

Shopkeeper Lu smiled embarrassingly, remembering that Yang Jiming was his own wedding gift, and realized that he shouldn't mention this, he said, "Then I'll go to the shop first, it's hard work for you two."

After shopkeeper Lu left, Yang Jiming made tea money and continued to look for clues with Zhang Yong.

On the teahouse, Shang Jiayan glanced at the leaving figure of Yang Jiming through the open window, asked Huai'an to put down the money for tea, and left the teahouse as well.

After Shang Jiayan returned home, he saw his elder brother Shang Jiashu waiting for him.

Shang Jiashu asked: "Seeing Yang Jiming, how do you feel?"

"It can only be said that the appearance is still passable. As for the others, how can you know it after meeting? What's more, he doesn't know me, and I didn't talk to him."

Shang Jiashu let out a chuckle, "Just look decent, and you'll get to know the rest after you get married."

Being teased by his elder brother, Shang Jiayan couldn't help but blush slightly.

Mrs. Shang came over, "You can't see each other until you get married, why is the boss messing around?"

"Mother taught me that." The brothers quickly admitted their mistake.

After all, Mrs. Shang loved her youngest son the most. After sending the eldest son away to do business, she went into the house to talk with the younger son.

Shang Jiayan ordered Huai An to bring in two packs of pastries.

Mrs. Shang said: "I heard that Yang Jiming seems to be a different person after he got engaged to you. He has been working hard in Shuntian Mansion for the past few days. I hope he has really reformed himself."

"Mother, this marriage is the nod of the father, you should believe his eyes."

"If he had a good eye, he wouldn't have brought that woman in back then and killed you. He also blamed me for not taking good care of you." Mrs. Shang wiped her tears, thinking of her son being cast by her husband's concubine After taking the pregnancy medicine, I was filled with grief and indignation.

"Mother, don't be sad, everything has its own destiny, maybe I should take a bridal sedan chair once."

"It's you who comforted me. Yan Yan, don't worry, I will arrange everything for you."

On the other side, Yang Jiming and Zhang Yong went to the ghost market together.

The ghost market in the capital does not run in the dark or at night, but a grocery street in Nancheng.

Zhang Yong reminded Yang Jiming: "Brother, the ghost market in Nancheng is different from other markets. There are three religions and nine streams, mixed with fish and dragons. It is the street that brothers don't like to patrol the most on weekdays."

"I'm looking for someone called Old Bubai." Yang Jiming remembered that in the book, after the female protagonist married the male protagonist as his second wife, she came here to find such an old faker.

At a nearby booth, a thin guy next to them heard what they said, and said, "It's not bad, I love it the most. Hurry up, maybe you can see him for the last time."

Yang Jiming looked at the stall owner firmly, and asked, "This little brother, can you tell me where the old man is?"

"Walk 200 meters forward, and the one with a big broom hanging at the door is Lao Bulai's house."

"Thank you."

After saying thank you, Yang Jiming and Zhang Yong hurried over.

A dirty little old man just flew from the house to their feet.

Immediately afterwards, two burly men came out of the house, and one of them said, "Old man, if you don't pay back the money today, our brothers will beat you to a half!"

"Even if you beat me to death, I don't have that much money!"

"What's the point of beating you to death? The family that sells tofu on Huangmao Street in Dongcheng City will never have a stable life in the future!"

"It's none of their business, don't trouble them."

"It's not bad, you just need to pay back the money, don't be a bad guy."

The old man pleaded: "Give me a few days, and I will think of a way."

"No, you have to pay it back today! If you don't pay it back, we'll go find a tofu seller."

"How much does he owe you?" Yang Jiming asked.

The old man and the debt collectors couldn't help but look at him.

"Hey, you two bad guys, it's only natural to pay off debts, we haven't committed any crime, we're just collecting debts."

"How much does he owe you?" Yang Jiming asked again.

"400 taels."

"Nonsense! It's 320 two taels." The old man said anxiously.

The debt collector grinned at the old man: "Interest! Do you know?"

"I'll pay it back for him."

"You?" The two men looked at Yang Jiming suspiciously.

Zhang Yong was also very surprised, he hastily tugged on his sleeve, and whispered in his ear: "Do you really want to pay it back for him?"

Yang Jiming nodded slightly to Zhang Yong, thinking to himself that the person the heroine had found would most likely be useful, and he wanted to gamble on Lao Buai.

Yang Jiming said to the debt collector: "I don't have that much money with me. You are waiting in the alley outside Shuntian Mansion Yamen tomorrow morning, and I will give you the money."

"This poor man, you are not going to lie to us, are you? Or, make a written proof?"

"it is good."

After Yang Jiming signed the paper, the two debt collectors left.

The old man was puzzled, but thanked him anyway.

Yang Jiming suddenly felt a scorching gaze with resentment behind him, and looked back, but he didn't find anyone looking at him.

The old man invited Yang Jiming and Zhang Yong into the house, and said to Yang Jiming: "This poor man, the little old man is old. He works in the ghost market all the year round. gv.website. 55 yuan will give you a comprehensive gift forever. Meat comics. Painting network .Wei lyxyycc dare to ask your name, where you live, and when the little old man collects all the money, I will send it to you."

"My surname is Yang, and I'm a police officer from Shuntian Mansion. This is Chief Zhang. Not bad, we want to ask you something."

"Tell me, both of you."

Yang Jiming took out the fake sapphire cup owned by Shopkeeper Lu, "Have you seen this before?"

The old man took a closer look, "I've seen it, I made it, it's been a few years."

Immediately, both Yang Jiming and Zhang Yong couldn't help but look happy.

Yang Jiming asked: "Do you still remember who asked you to do it?"

"You two, please wait a moment."

Afterwards, Lao Babai took out an old account book, looked it up and said, "I learned this craft in elementary school. When I was young, someone taught me simple bookkeeping."

Not long after, Lao Bubai found the record of the sapphire cup, which was ordered by a person surnamed Zhao three years ago.

Following this clue, Yang Jiming found a family surnamed Zhao in Nancheng. He also unexpectedly discovered that this family was actually an old servant of the hostess's family.
