"Half a month ago, wearing a bamboo hat, pawned this jade pendant for 1,000 taels of silver?" In the prison of the county government, Zhao Yi, the third prince of Qi State, looked at the pawnshop shopkeeper and asked.
"Yes, he covered his face with a bamboo hat at that time, and the villain didn't see what he looked like, and he didn't know who he was." False words will strike like thunder!"
Not long after, Zhao Yi came out of the prison cell, shook his head and said: "This back dragon pendant was given to me by my father. It was worth ten thousand gold, but it was only a thousand taels of silver. Brother Li, brother Li, you You really look down on me, Zhao Yi..."
Yang Yanzhou stood beside him, thought for a moment, and said, "Your Highness, in this way, he should be in Fengzhou City now."
Zhao Yi nodded and said: "He will not be ignorant of the value of this jade pendant, and he only used one thousand taels of silver to pawn it off. Presumably, he is extremely short of money. Jing Guo can't go back for the time being. It's normal for him to hide in Qi State. At this time, it should not have left."
"Who is your Highness looking for? Do you want to send someone..." County Magistrate Wu stood aside, hesitated for a moment, and said.
Zhao Yi waved his hand and said, "No need, you don't need to ask about this matter, just remember to let the pawn shop owner go later."
County Magistrate Wu was stunned for a moment, and said, "His Royal Highness, it is a serious crime to hide royal property, so let him go like this?"
Zhao Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, just do what this king says."
County Magistrate Wu looked up at him, finally nodded, and said, "I obey."
The two came out from the county office, Yang Yanzhou turned around and asked: "Your Highness, what if he doesn't redeem the jade pendant?"
Zhao Yi looked at the crowds on the street and said: "It's easy to do, it's good for him to redeem, but it's expected if he doesn't redeem, send more people to investigate secretly these days, Fengzhou City is not big, if he is still there In the city, you will find it sooner or later."
Yang Yanzhou nodded, and the two walked down the steps. At the same time, a few streets away, in a certain yard, Li Yi scratched his head in doubt. Although he didn't pay much attention to the things given by the old emperor, but It's not that he didn't have any impression, until now, he still couldn't remember when he gave him that jade pendant
After a while, he still couldn't figure it out. He shook his head and stopped thinking about these things. He had to write those thirteen poems quickly, and then went out to buy vegetables.
All the dishes at home were ruined by Miss Liu Er just now, he had to buy some new ones, send the poems along the way, and get back the remaining five thousand taels.
After this time, I will never do such a thing of selling money with poetry again.
Not only Su Shi, Li Bai and Qin Guan, but this time, the coffin boards of Liu Yong and Yan Jidao could hardly hold back. Every time he wrote a sentence, Li Yi could feel the strong resentment from different time and space.
It's an insult to the gentleman, it's really an insult to the gentleman!
Before it was dark, Qian Duoduo stood at the entrance of the alley, waiting patiently.
When night fell completely and his feet were about to go numb, a voice finally came from the alley.
"Pay the money with one hand, and deliver the goods with one hand, did you bring the silver?"
Qian Duoduo was shocked, and immediately said, "I brought them all."
Something flew out from the darkness, Qian Duoduo reached out to catch it, only to hear the voice say: "This is five songs, you check the goods first."
Qian Duoduo walked to the side, opened it by the light, and looked at it. There were a few words that he didn't recognize, which should be genuine, so he walked back, handed in a stack of bank notes, and said, "This is the rest of the money. Five thousand taels of silver, brother counts."
As soon as the words fell, I felt my hand was empty, and after a while, another roll of paper flew out.
"Money and goods cleared, farewell!"
Hearing voices coming from the alley, Qian Duoduo hurriedly said: "Brother, stay a while!"
The voice said: "What else?"
Qian Duoduo scratched his head and said, "Cashback..."
"Do you want a penny too?"
"A penny is also money." Qian Duoduo smiled embarrassedly and said, "My father taught me since I was a child that every porridge and meal should be thought of as hard-won, don't waste money recklessly, and be frugal. A penny is also money, and I should Yes, why not?"
This time, the voice was silent for a long time before he spoke again: "Sorry, there is no cash back this time, the change was used up when I was shopping for vegetables just now..."
"Shopping for vegetables..." Qian Duoduo was stunned for a moment, and looked forward in surprise, but, in the darkness, there was no more sound.
"Brother, remember you still owe me a penny!"
Qian Duoduo yelled inside on his own, put away those poems carefully, and strode back.
Li Yi was walking on the street, thinking that he should spare him a piece of celery just now. He doesn't like to owe people money, even a penny is owed. For obsessive-compulsive disorder, there is not much difference between a penny and ten thousand taels.
When passing by a certain city gate, I saw soldiers at the gate interrogating passers-by one by one in the dark, and seemed to be holding portraits or something in their hands.
I'm afraid he's not chasing some serious criminals again. It seems that the law and order in Toyosu is not very good. It's better to be careful when walking alone in the street at night...
It is the right way to go back and sleep with Miss Liu Er earlier.
…
…
In a restaurant, on a high platform, there are several graceful dancers dancing. Among them is a woman with a slim figure and graceful dancing posture, which attracts the attention of most people in the hall.
"Brother Qian, Miss Shishi thanked you in front of everyone that day, but it's a pity that you left early. If not, I'm afraid that some wonderful things will happen with Miss Shishi that day. You don't want to leave today. Are you going to seize the opportunity?" A young man raised his wine glass, looked at Qian Duoduo and said.
Qian Duoduo waved his hand and said, "I just saw Miss Shishi that day, and I couldn't help myself, so I wrote a poem, it doesn't mean anything else."
"Brother Qian is talented, and his reputation has spread throughout Fengzhou. I admire you!" One person cupped his hands and said, "We have known each other for more than ten years, but I didn't know that Brother Qian had such a poetic talent. Brother Qian, you have hidden it so deeply. !"
The people around are all friends who have known each other for a long time, unlike the sour scholars who only satirize themselves. Received such compliments, Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Don't make it public, don't make it public, I'm very low-key."
One person showed displeasure on his face, and said: "There are still people who say that Brother Qian's poems are bought. Even Zhao Xiuwen affirmed Brother Qian's poems and admitted that it is difficult for him to surpass them. In this country of Qi, there are still people Someone more talented than him
Could it be that Brother Qian still went to Zhao Xiuwen to buy poems? "
"Extremely extreme, such poems, I am afraid they are priceless treasures, how can they be bought with silver?" Another person agreed.
Qian Duoduo shook his head and said in a low voice: "There is no priceless treasure in this world. If one hundred taels is not enough, you can pay one thousand taels, and if one thousand taels is not enough, you can pay ten thousand taels. There is always a matching price. I see, then Words are worth a thousand taels."
Some people wondered: "Those poor ghosts, what integrity is more important than life, can such poems be bought with money?"
Qian Duoduo smiled and said: "There is nothing in this world that cannot be bought with money. If there is, it is because you don't have enough money."
One person was surprised: "Brother Qian, what you mean is that you bought that poem?"
"of course not!"
Qian Duoduo shook his head and said, "I can write more than a dozen poems of that kind at will. Do I need to buy them?"
