Evil Master and Disciple

Ye Feng took out two pieces of jadeite raw stones, one large and one small, from the black silk bracelet.

The old eunuch's eyes fixed, and he couldn't help but glance at the black silk bracelet on Ye Feng's wrist.

Then he shifted his gaze to the two pieces of Tianshan jade rough stones. He reached out to touch the rough stones. Ye Feng could see that the eunuch's hands were trembling, as if he was very excited.

"Master, you actually bought these two pieces of Tianshan Jade!"

"You also know about these two pieces of jasper?"

"Hahaha, who in the entire capital doesn't know about these two pieces of Tianshan Jade? They've changed hands several times over the past twenty years, and finally fell into the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a few years ago."

"Your Highness? I bought this today from Shopkeeper Song at the Baoyu Pavilion in South City."

"Oh, it seems you don't know that Baoyu Pavilion is the property of the Crown Prince."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng was speechless.

Don’t you just want to make a fake imperial seal and swap it out with the real one to play with for a few days?

I'm not getting anything for nothing.

He spent a huge sum of one million taels to buy a piece of jade that was exactly the same as the imperial seal.

What else can you do to yourself?

It was supposed to be a perfect crime, but now, the raw stone was bought from the prince's shop, and the eunuch who used to hold the seal was asked to carve it.

Once the truth is revealed, the court can identify the suspect immediately without the need for secret investigation by the Xuanjingsi spies.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

The old eunuch said, "Sir, these two pieces of raw stones are priceless. Could you tell me how much silver you spent on them?"

"One million taels, am I spending too much?"

The old eunuch slowly shook his head and said, "These two pieces of Tianshan Jasper are worth the price. Unfortunately, I cannot accept your business."

Ye Feng was startled and said, "I haven't told you what I want to carve yet, why are you refusing? Are you worried that I can't afford it?"

“Since you can spend millions to buy these two rough stones, it is clear that you are no ordinary person. Moreover, you just took the rough stones out of the bracelet on your wrist, so you must be a cultivator.

For a monk, silver is worthless."

Ye Feng asked curiously: "Then why don't you take my business?"

"Sir, don't you find it strange that these two pieces of Tianshan Jasper have passed through many hands in the capital, all of whom are high-ranking officials and dignitaries. But why didn't those people carve them into objects after buying these rough stones?"

Ye Feng was slightly stunned when he heard this. Yes, these two pieces of Tianshan jade are the best jade. No matter what they are carved into, they are priceless.

But why did the buyers not process the jadeite raw stones after purchasing them?

Ye Feng said: "I would like to hear the details."

The old eunuch glanced at Ye Feng and grinned.

The old eunuch's smile made Ye Feng feel a little uneasy.

He now dared to sleep in the cemetery, but when he saw the old eunuch's smile, he just wanted to run away.

The old eunuch said, "Because these two pieces of raw stone are made of the same material as the Imperial Seal, who would dare to use them to carve something?

Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took it, he would not dare to keep it privately, and could only place it in his treasure pavilion as the treasure of the store."

Ye Feng suddenly understood and pretended to be surprised, "Ah? So the imperial seal is carved from this kind of jade. I've really learned something new."

The old eunuch said, "That's right. Now you understand why I didn't accept your business. Although I'm living in poverty, I don't want to die. It's not worth it to offend the emperor for a little money."

What's more, I have loved jade toys all my life, and the value of this piece of jade can only be reflected if it is carved into an imperial seal.

If it is carved into other objects, it would be a blasphemy to this piece of Tianshan Jade."

"There is a door!"

When Ye Feng heard this, he felt that there seemed to be a turning point in the matter.

Since this piece of Tianshan Jade is so famous in the capital, no matter which sculptor I find, I am afraid that no one will dare to take my business.

He felt that this old eunuch was the best candidate.

Ye Feng smiled slightly and said, "Then carve it into a jade seal passed down from generation to generation."

"What? Sir, are you kidding me? You want to carve a jade seal for the country?"

Ye Feng laughed and said, "I didn't know what to carve it into. You're an expert. Since you said that carving this jade into a state seal is blasphemous, then carve it into a state seal."

The old eunuch stared at the smiling Ye Feng with his cloudy eyes, and then glanced at Sanzhier on Ye Feng's shoulder.

He suddenly said, "Young Master Ye, so you came to the capital for the Imperial Seal."

Ye Feng's smile instantly faded, and he asked, "Do you know me?"

The old eunuch shook his head slowly.

"Then how do you know my last name is Ye? I didn't tell you my last name."

The old eunuch smiled again and said, "This green spirit pet on you is really too eye-catching. Now everyone in the world knows about this spirit pet on Master Ye. Moreover, when it snowed a few days ago, the little Luanzi in the palace was filial and came to visit me. Little Luanzi is now the chief eunuch in charge of the Jiaotai Hall in the palace. He told me that some time ago, Master, you went to the Jiaotai Hall and were noticed by Master Wen and accepted as his disciple.

Moreover, when the young master was in Jiaotai Hall, he showed great interest in the imperial seal and even stamped many seals of the imperial seal on his clothes.

"Young Master Ye has now spent millions to purchase these two pieces of Tianshan Jasper, and has also contacted me... Therefore, I guess that Young Master Ye originally intended to carve the rough stones into the Imperial Seal."

Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Ye Feng simply stopped pretending.

He smiled and said, "I can't hide anything from you. Yes, I just want you to help me carve an imperial seal. You used to be the eunuch in charge of the seal in the Jiaotai Hall of the palace. You know the structure of the imperial seal like the back of your hand. Only you can make an imperial seal that is so realistic that it can be mistaken for a fake one."

"Master Ye, do you want to exchange the imperial seal?"

"No, I just want to get the Imperial Seal for fun. Since you know me, you should know that I am a cultivator from the Yunhai Sect. I am not interested in mundane things."

The old eunuch shook his head slightly and said, "The Imperial Seal is not an ordinary thing. I heard that a few months ago, Master Ye used a Confucian magic pen to perform Confucian magic in the Yunhai Sect's inner sect competition.

If what I guessed is correct, the young master came to the capital this time probably for the sake of righteousness and the good fortune of all living beings.

The luck of the imperial court is stored and sealed in three places in the palace. The seals are very complex and there is a Confucian sage in charge, so it is difficult to steal.

Only the imperial seal is the most convenient.

Moreover, the fortune of all living beings contained in the imperial seal is greater than the fortune accumulated by the Daqian Dynasty over the past three thousand years. It is the accumulation of successive dynasties over tens of thousands of years.

Master Ye must be trying to steal the luck for the Confucian magic brush he has on him."

"What the hell!"

Ye Feng looked at the old eunuch in astonishment.

He never expected that the old eunuch could see through his plan.

This old eunuch is a master!
