insane

Liu Mu left Ziyan's mansion, happened to pass by Liu's pawnshop, and walked in, wanting to see if there were any rare pawnshops recently.

Liu Mu pointed to a box and said, "Who pawned this thing, why is it still locked?"

"Young master, this place is really a treasure," the shopkeeper Zhao said while gesturing, "It's the first time I've seen such a big night pearl. He said that if his family hadn't come down, he didn't want to be the things left by his ancestors." " Shopkeeper Zhao finished speaking and opened a cabinet, "Look, all the locked items in this cabinet belonged to that young master. All of them are rare items."

Liu Mu said, "Why don't I remember that there is such a down-and-out big family in Jinling."

"The young master's surname is Wu, and I don't remember a rich family named Wu." Shopkeeper Zhao said as he swiped around the room with a feather duster.

Liu Ye tiptoed to behind Liu Mu, and slapped Liu Mu unexpectedly, "Brother!"

Liu Mu shook his hand, and threw out the locked box in his hand. Seeing that the box was broken in two, shopkeeper Zhao's eyes were straightened, "My ancestor, this has caused a catastrophe." After finishing, I squatted down to pick up the box on the ground.

Liu Mu said, "Ye'er, didn't daddy tell you not to let you come here casually. What do you think, you caused trouble."

Liu Ye smiled and said, "Brother, there is an opera troupe coming over from the capital, please take me to see it."

Liu Mu said, "Why don't you let He Yi accompany you?"

"Hmph, he is so busy all day, how can he have time to go to the theater with me?"

"This..." Shopkeeper Zhao squatted on the ground, his body motionless, his eyes were fixed, as if he had been acupunctured.

"What's the matter, Shopkeeper Zhao? Could it be that the Ye Mingzhu is broken?" Liu Mu said to Liu Ye after finishing speaking, "Look at what you did."

Liu Ye stuck out her tongue.

Liu Mu said again, "The big deal is to accompany him with money." Liu Mu said as he walked to the shopkeeper Zhao, and when he saw the things on the ground, Liu Mu was also stunned, "How did this become a seal?"

Shopkeeper Zhao said, "I remember that this place is clearly a luminous pearl. Could it be that it was dropped by someone?"

Liu Mu picked up the seal on the ground and looked at it carefully, "Master Zhao, look at this seal, it's a high-quality ancient jade, it should be quite valuable."

Shopkeeper Zhao said, "Looking at the shape of this seal, I seem to have seen it in some book, but I can't remember it for a while."

Liu Mu took the seal in his hand and let out another breath, and pressed down hard on the rice paper on the table. "Shopkeeper Zhao, you are well-informed, you must know what this word is."

"Oh, this is..." Looking for the shopkeeper, his face turned livid.

"What's the matter, Shopkeeper Zhao?"

Shopkeeper Zhao's voice trembled, "I remembered which book I saw it in! Young master, this is the jade seal from the former dynasty!"

"The jade seal of the previous dynasty!" Liu Mu was so startled that he almost threw the thing in his hand, "If this thing is discovered, it will be a death penalty!"

Shopkeeper Zhao said, "Although it is a capital crime, these things are valuable goods in the hands of those antique dealers. But even though they are decapitated things, these people are also rushing to snare them. When will the change be changed? These things are not life-threatening goods. If this jade seal is sold, it will be worth a lot of money."

"It would be best if it's a coincidence, I'm afraid someone left it in our pawn shop with ulterior motives." After speaking, Liu Mu took out the other locked boxes in the cabinet, and took off the hairpin on Liu Ye's head. Said, "Brother, don't you suspect that my hairpin is also something for rebellion?"

Liu Mu smacked his lips, "Borrow it, I'll scare you." Liu Mu used the hairpin in his hand to pry open the lock, only to see that there was a sword in the box that was supposed to hold the painting scroll, "Master Zhao, that man is here!" Did you see this sword when you pawned it?"

Shopkeeper Zhao shook his head, "Here is a picture scroll." Shopkeeper Zhao pulled out the sword from the scabbard, then hurriedly ran to another wooden cabinet to search for a long time, took out a book and threw it to Liu Mu, " Young master, if I remember correctly, there is a record of this sword in this book!"

Liu Ye hurriedly flipped through the book to find the page about the sword, and Liu Mu continued to pry open other boxes, when Liu Ye suddenly said, "Here it is!"

After reading the introduction and pictures in the book, Liu Mu took a deep breath, "The imperial sword used by the former emperor..."

Several people looked at the things in the other boxes, the gold medal for avoiding death, the imperial decree, and the memorial, all of which belonged to the previous dynasty.

Shopkeeper Zhao sat down on the stool, "This...how could this be..."

"Shopkeeper Zhao, let's close the pawn shop today. Don't let outsiders come in, and send someone to find my father quickly."

Master Liu also frowned when he saw the things on the table, "How could these things appear so well?"

Liu Mu said, "Father, do you think someone deliberately framed us?"

Liu Ye said, "Didn't shopkeeper Zhao say that these things are very valuable, so why not sell them?"

Mr. Liu shook his head, "These things cannot be sold, and must not be sold out of our Liu family, they can only be destroyed. Ye'er, Dad has something to tell your elder brother, you should go back first. Also, what happened today is absolutely You can't tell anyone, including your mother and your second brother."

Liu Ye felt that these things were not simple, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

After Liu Ye left, Liu Mu said, "Father, is there something hidden in it?"

Mr. Liu said, "Our Liu family was a family of officials and eunuchs in the previous dynasty hundreds of years ago, and there were three prime ministers, who played an important role in the court. Later, the emperor was fatuous, wars broke out, and the previous dynasty fell. Our ancestors brought their families to Jinling. There are also two family friends who came here together, and those two are also former high officials. One is the ancestor of the Wanran family. The other family has completely cut off their blood, and the descendants of that family are the former Brother Zhao Qiansan who was murdered one day. It was because the ancestor was a high-ranking official in the previous dynasty, so generations of the three families dared not enter the official career. The officialdom is inherently dangerous. I brought my family to Jinling, and it has been seven generations since I came to you. I thought that no one would remember this, so I thought you could get the honor and become an official in the court. But now these things suddenly appeared in the pawn shop , I'm afraid someone is trying to harm our Liu family."

Liu Mu comforted and said, "Father, don't worry too much. It may be a coincidence, or the shopkeeper Zhao is old and made a mistake. Maybe some new guy made a mistake. I'll go and get rid of these things." .”

Liu Ye was dressing up in front of the bronze mirror in the room, and the servant girl came over and said that Catcher He had come.Liu Ye hastily adjusted her makeup and ran out.When I walked to the living room, I saw the second lady was chatting with He Yi.

"Since He Butou is not from Jinling, where is his hometown? What does the family do?"

He Yi said, "I am an orphan. I learned martial arts with my master since I was a child. I lived in the north with my master in my early years. Later, I traveled all over the world with my master. I don't know where my hometown is."

The second lady laughed and said, "He Butou is a man of talent, and has high martial arts skills. He became the number one chief Butou in Jinling at a young age. He must have a bright future in the future."

"He Yi!" Liu Ye ran out bouncing.

The second lady smiled and said, "Okay, I still have things to do. He Butou doesn't have to be restrained in the house, just treat it as his own home."

Liu Ye said, "I just sent someone to deliver a message to you. I didn't expect you to come so soon."

He Yi smiled and said, "I know you have an order, so how dare I neglect it."

On the outskirts of the city, Liu Ye leaned against He Yi's arms and said with a smile, "He Yi, let's go to the mountains to live in seclusion when we get old. My brother also said that he wants to go to a place where there are no people, and bring the people he likes with him to accompany him in the mountains and rivers. When the time comes, we will go to live in seclusion in the mountains with our older brother and sister-in-law, and when our children grow up, we can also marry the eldest brother’s children.” Then he said, “It turns out that my eldest brother still has feelings for Miss Ziyan. But these three people are enough. Trouble. In the past, the eldest brother and Miss Ziyan were so in love with each other that my father beat them. Now the eldest brother and sister-in-law finally become affectionate, but they are suddenly together with Miss Ziyan again. Why do you men always go on and on? He Yi, will one day you be like big brother!"

He Yi smiled wryly, "No, I will only love you in this life."

Liu Ye smiled, "If you dare to like other women, I will castrate you!"

He Yi hesitated again and again, and said, "Ye'er, I have something to tell you."

Liu Ye said, "Suddenly so serious, you don't want me to marry you!"

"I...Ye'er, do you remember that I said that I have difficulties, so I can't be with you."

"Are you going to tell me your difficulties?"

He Yi gritted his teeth and unbuttoned the skirt of his shirt. Liu Ye was startled, and blushed instantly, wondering when He Yi, who had always been cautious, became so bold.

He Yi grabbed Liu Ye's hand and touched his chest. Liu Ye felt his hand go soft, "This is..."

"This is my difficulty."

"You..." Liu Ye's face was pale, and tears seemed to be still rolling in her eyes.

"I'm a woman. Ye'er, I don't want to hide from you anymore. I saw Qi Siling staying for more than [-] years for Miao Yueling, and even sacrificing her life for the one she loves. I love you, but I don't have the courage to tell you who I am..."

Liu Ye slapped He Yi on the face, "Bastard, why didn't you tell me that you are a woman!" After speaking, she turned and got on her horse and galloped away.

Liu Ye returned home crying very sadly, Liu Mu said, "I want to see who made my baby sister angry, tell me who it is, and I'll go vent your anger on your behalf."

Liu Ye cried, "You men don't have a good thing... No... You... You... Anyway, you are not a good thing!"

Liu Mu was shocked when he heard this, and didn't know how to comfort him, "Ye'er, what happened?"

Seeing that Liu Ye didn't answer, Liu Mu tentatively said, "Do you know He Yi's identity?"

Liu Ye suddenly raised her head, stared at Liu Mu with wide eyes, "Could it be that you already knew it!"

Liu Mu said hesitantly, "So I told you a long time ago that you can't be with He Yi, but you just don't listen..."

Now Liu Ye cried even more fiercely, "So you and that bastard got into a fire to lie to me!"

"Sister..." Liu Mu said, "Brother is wrong, I shouldn't have lied to you. But I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you, so I'll just wait for you to find out. I know this is a little ridiculous..." Wait After Liu Mu finished speaking, he was kicked out by Liu Ye.

At this time, the second lady's maid came again, saying that Catcher He was waiting in the living room in the front yard and wanted to see the eldest lady.

Liu Mu shouted through the door, "Sister, He Yike is waiting in the front yard, this bastard must have come to explain to you, why don't you go see her?"

"not see!"

Liu Mu knew that Liu Ye couldn't accept it for a while, so he stopped talking and went to the front yard alone.

"Master Liu..." Seeing Liu Mu, He Yi hurriedly lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong, and did not dare to look at Liu Mu.

Liu Mu actually burst out laughing with a 'puchi', "I never imagined that the famous He Butou would look like this now."

He Yi lowered his head and said, "My lord, don't make fun of your subordinates anymore. If your subordinates do something wrong, just accept the punishment and accept the punishment. As long as the eldest lady can relieve her anger, even if it breaks my bones, I will not say a word. "

Liu Mu smiled and said, "My little sister is the most like me in one thing, that is the bullish temper. Ye'er is getting angry now, even if you say all the best things in the world, I'm afraid that little girl won't listen to it. Why don't you let Let her be alone for a while, and she might get back together with you when she thinks it over."

The second lady stood outside the door and said, "Ye'er, it seems that Catcher He is also in a hurry, so don't go see him."

"not see."

"Ye'er, even though He Butou was born in a poor family and is not a wealthy family, but based on the title of the number one chief Butou in Jinling, it is known that he is not an ordinary person, and he will have a bright future in the future. Those in Jinling I’ve checked every house for you, and they’re either much older than you, or they’re not adults. If you’re talking about the same age, good looks, and a good family background, they’re just your elder brother’s friends. I originally wanted to betroth you to the youngest son of Governor Xia’s family, but Mr. Xia is just like your elder brother. He is just a fool. Regular customers in the brothel, if they marry them, don't worry about it, if they get into trouble with the girls in the brothel, and then contract some kind of disease, it will be really bad luck. I think this head catcher is not bad, the man is older than you The last one who was four or five years old was not too old, and he was also handsome, and he spoke with a gentle manner, so he should be a person who knows the cold and the hot." The second lady thought that He Yi was treating Liu Ye lightly, so Liu Ye cried so sadly, and said, "Mother is also a person who has been here. Men are not in a hurry. Anyway, you two will get married sooner or later. Some things matter if it's too early or too late. But your little girl didn't care about it." You don’t know anything about economics and human affairs, but after you get married, you don’t think it’s a big deal.”

In a certain inn, Wen Siren said respectfully to a man, "Why did uncle suddenly come to Jinling?"

Feng Liang said, "How about what I asked you to do?"

Wen Siren said, "I've said all the good things, but that guy Liu Mu really doesn't know how to flatter him. I said that if he is willing to be my uncle's student, his future is limitless, and my uncle can guarantee that he can only sit on the seat of Governor of Liangjiang for two years. And my uncle can betroth his daughter to him. Guess what Liumu said?" Wen Siren snorted disdainfully, "He said that Liumu only worked for the emperor, and he didn't bother to form cliques with officials for personal gain. Not even married, let alone the daughter of a mere minister of the Ministry of Officials."

Feng Liang smiled, "This Liu Mu is really too arrogant. But if such an arrogant person can be used by me..."

Wen Siren hurriedly said, "Uncle, I think this guy is determined to fight you, so I have already followed that bad plan."

Feng Liang waved his hand and said, "You are too careless. Do you think that you will be done just by sending these things to the pawnshop, but you don't know that Liu Mu has already sent out all the relics of the previous dynasty. It's a pity. Perhaps his Liu family should not die, I heard that Liu Mu has a younger sister who has not yet left the court, Siren, I want you to go to the Liu family to propose marriage tomorrow!"

"Uncle, you don't want me to marry Liu Mu's sister, do you?" Wen Siren looked at Feng Liang with astonishment.

Feng Liang said, "Liu Sheng will leave Jinling tomorrow, and I will ask someone to hold Liu Mu at the Yamen. Mrs. Liu Shengna is greedy for money and powerful. If she is the only one in the family when the marriage is proposed, she will definitely agree to the marriage. When the time comes, it will be written in black and white. You two are married. Liu Ye is a hostage in our hands. Liu Ye is Liu Sheng's only daughter. Even Liu Mu loves her sister very much. With his sister in our hands, I don't believe Liu Mu will not vote for me. Under the door. The sons of Liu Mu and Xia Zan are life-and-death friends. Xia Zan is the governor of Liangjiang, and his sister is the emperor's favorite concubine. If we can win Xia Zan to our side through Liu Mu, it will be another pawn. Listen. It is said that Zeng Pu's daughter has been in love with Liu Mu for a long time, and when the time comes to design the emperor to give them a marriage, Zeng Qingqing will become our hostage if she marries Liu Mu. Against me, the only weakness is his precious daughter, if Zeng Qingqing is in our hands, then I don't believe that Zeng Pu can stand upright and fight against me!"

Wen Siren smiled and said, "Uncle is really smart, I will go to propose marriage to the Liu family tomorrow."
