The Romance of the New Moon in Xinbaixu-Chapter 20-Everything goes smoothly(3/3)
"That's great." Shi Lin immediately handed over a piece of jade. After Feng Yuxiang took it, he put it on his hand and touched it.
"This jade is an ordinary jadeite. I don't know its origin. Because it was not in my hands, I must have invited this jade here not just for it." Feng Yuxiang looked calm.
"Master, your skills are indeed extraordinary. Due to the seriousness of the matter, please forgive me for taking the liberty of giving it a try." Shi Lin bowed and apologized.
"It doesn't matter, only good jade deserves to be cherished so much by adults."
"It is indeed a good piece of jade, please take a look, master." Shi Lin took out the jade pendant and handed it to Feng Yuxiang. Feng Yuxiang touched it little by little, and saw a frown between his brows, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
"Master, do you have any clues?" Shi Lin asked hurriedly when he saw this.
"This jade comes from the Western Regions. It is a piece of fine mutton-fat white jade and is extremely valuable." Feng Yuxiang said after touching it.
"The master is brilliant and is indeed a rare treasure."
"This jade carving is indeed by my hand, but I don't know who commissioned it."
"Really? Master, do you still remember the situation at that time?"
"When I carved this jade, it was the year I was recovering from a serious illness and returning to my hometown to worship my ancestors, about sixteen years ago. A man who claimed to be from above came to me and said that I would complete it within one day. I received
The villain also marveled that this jade is a good piece of jade, but sighed that it was a pity to have those carved characters. I worked all night and carved the phoenix bird and the word "rain". He waited outside the house and gave him 50 after the completion.
After being rewarded with two silver coins, he left. With such a big hand and such a rare jade, this person must be something special." Feng Yuxiang recalled, and spoke happily.
"In this way, we still can't find any clues." Zhao Wei said.
"No, Master Feng has already provided us with a lot of clues. As long as there are clues, we can find out." The clues provided by Master Feng made the case somewhat clearer, and Shilin's eyes were full of confidence.
"Sir, an imperial edict has arrived. Please accept it as soon as possible." The official came in to report.
"Imperial decree?" Shi Lin was a little surprised, adjusted his official office and official hat, and went out.
"The imperial edict has arrived, please inspect the governor Xu Shilin to receive the edict." When Shilin went out, a eunuch had already raised the edict to be announced.
"Long live, long live, long live!" Shilin and everyone else knelt down one after another.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: On the sixteenth anniversary of the death of Empress Rencheng, Emperor Shizong of the Song Dynasty, Banzhao will offer a general amnesty to the world, grant the local treasury 10,000 taels, open granaries, reduce taxes, and release death row prisoners to benefit the people of the world and comfort them.
The spirit of the Fairy Queen. Thank you for this."
"Thank you Lord for your kindness, long live your Majesty." Shi Lin and others kowtowed respectfully and took the imperial edict. After the eunuchs left, they stood up. He returned to the back room with the imperial edict and spread it on the table to read carefully.
"Sir Xu, the person who entrusted me back then was the person who announced the decree in the hall just now." Feng Yuxiang said suddenly.
"What? Are you sure?" Shilin was shocked.
"Although the villain is blind, he can never forget sounds, especially such extraordinary sounds. The villain had already guessed it back then." Feng Yuxiang said with certainty.
Shi Lin immediately read the imperial edict again, "When Emperor Shizong of the Song Dynasty passed away for 16 years, Empress Rencheng passed away, and now Ban Zhao offers a general amnesty..." It has been 16 years since the queen passed away, and Yu Yan is 16 years old this year. Empress Rencheng is...
The queen who died in childbirth? Could it be related to this jade?'
"Zhao Wei, prepare a sedan immediately and send Master Feng back to the capital. At the same time, follow me to the capital." Shilin seemed to have thought of something and immediately ordered.
"Yes, I will get ready right away." Zhao Wei went out. Shilin wrote a letter and handed it over to the Yamen official.
"Hurry and deliver it to Mr. Qi from the Shuntian Escort Bureau. Remember to deliver it to him personally."
"Yes!" The officer took the letter and went out.
"Master Feng, today's matter is of great importance. I hope you can keep it a secret. I am very grateful."
"My Lord has worked so hard, and I must be strict with you. Please take care of yourself." Feng Yuxiang stood up and bowed. After a while, Zhao Wei came to report that everything was ready, so the three of them set out on the road. Shi Lin returned to the Xu Mansion first and informed Bi
Lian, I took some clothes and set off.
Suncheon Escort Agency.
Baoshan received a secret letter from Shilin and opened it: "Brother Baoshan, I have gone to the capital to investigate the case and have important matters to handle. During this period, please closely protect the safety of Miss Yuyan. If I do not return in ten days, please
Take him to Master Gu Zhong's house and you will learn the whole story. Yours sincerely, Brother Shilin."
"What the hell is Shilin doing? But it must be very important, so just do as you are told." Baoshan said to himself.
"Xiao Shan, pass on the order. From today on, everyone in the escort agency must protect Yu Yan, especially you. If anything happens, just protect her secretly and don't let her know." He ordered Xiao Shan.
"Dad, what's wrong? What happened?"
"I don't know what your Uncle Shilin said, so just follow it."
