"Father-in-law Mu, this time Dongchang has a big case, you have a lot of credit, you won't blame the official for robbing you of power, right?" Liu Chun said with a smile.

Mu En was so frightened that he trembled, "Taifu, don't play with the slave and maid, this matter is too big, the slave and maid have to go to Emperor Chen, but the slave and maid know their own catties and two, how can Dongchang handle such a big case!" Taifu can take over, it is really to protect the slave and the maid, protect the East Factory, and the slave and the maid are willing to work for the Taifu dogs and horses. ”

Liu Chun waved his hand, "You and I are both doing things for the Son of Heaven, so you don't have to be polite." But Grandpa Mu must be careful, the so-called money can be channeled. Jiuqing officials are like this, you and I Dongchang and Jinyiwei, are there no black-hearted villains? ”

Mu En was startled, he thought about it carefully, and his forehead was already sweating.

The death of a businessman, in order to rob the family property, implicated so many court officials, they can all be bought, how can the people under his own hands be clean!

Or, the person who stabbed this case is not clean himself, maybe it is still dog eat dog!

Mu En received a secret report and rushed to report to Zhu Di, wanting to make meritorious service and expand the influence of Dongchang.

But now that he looks at it, he is indeed greedy and impatient, and he didn't figure out the key to this, fortunately, Liu Chun didn't mean to cheat him, otherwise the small Dongchang would be unlucky this time.

"Taifu, from now on, Dongchang will have to consult with Jinyiwei more, when encountering a case, you must be cautious and careful, you must not plunge into it, after all, our opponent is too cunning and sinister."

Liu Chun smiled and didn't say anything.

In fact, this time Mu En poked the matter out directly, and did not go through Jinyiwei, Liu Chun already had an opinion on him, these slaves and maids would kick their noses and face if they didn't beat, but they couldn't make such a big fuss, as for the size, they could only be carefully grasped.

The factory and the guards cooperated and immediately set out to investigate the case.

As soon as Liu Chun returned to the mansion, he found that Xu Zengshou, the Duke of Dingguo, had come, and in his hand, holding a huge wooden box, panting, and put it on the table.

"Liu Chun, you show me, what's the mystery of this thing?"

"What's that?" Liu Chun asked casually.

Xu Zengshou smiled and said: "It's a businessman, surnamed Qiao, he used to have business dealings with me, he died not long ago, and his family sent me a gift and wanted to invite me over to condole." But they look down on me too much! ”

Xu Zengshou was furious and opened the box, revealing the true face of Lushan.

Liu Chun glanced at it and found that it was a wood carved Buddha statue inside.

The material is not good, just ordinary red acid branches, and if you look at the carving, it is even rougher, and there are burrs on it.

Such a thing, let alone giving it to Xu Zengshou, even if it is given to ordinary people, it is too shabby.

Liu Chun looked at it again, "The wood of the statue is not as good as the box outside?" ”

Xu Zengshou puffed up and said, "Who said it wasn't? This Qiao family doesn't know what to do, do they look down on me? You must know that I am a dignified prince, and I have pretended to be a ......."

"Shut up!"

Liu Chun shouted angrily, so frightened that Xu Zengshou shrank his head, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

Liu Chun got up, reached out and took out the wood carving from inside.

This is a one-foot-eight-inch tall wood carving, held in his hand, full of weight, unexpectedly heavy, Liu Chun inside and out, carefully looked at it for a long time.

"Go, bring me wood like this one, and then prepare two buckets of water."

Xu Zengshou was puzzled, "Liu Chun, in case this wood carving is very valuable, don't break it for me, or I'll ask the Qiao family!" ”

Liu Chun sneered: "Aren't you afraid of being fooled if you ask?" ”

"Fooled?" Xu Zengshou is still puzzled, what can a businessman do to him?

Liu Chun simply ignored him, and when the others brought the wood, Liu Chun weighed it, and then put the wood carving into a wooden barrel, and then sank the wood into another wooden barrel.

The best red sour branches are basically submerged, whether it is wood carving or wood, they are immersed in water.

Xu Zengshou couldn't help but laugh and said: "Liu Chun, you want to use this method to test the authenticity, this won't work!" ”

Liu Chun was dumbfounded, "Then you look at the waterline." ”

Xu Zengshou took a breath, he stared carefully for a long time, and then said: "The water on this side of the wood seems to rise more, this, what is the reason?" ”

Liu Chun snorted coldly: "What is the truth? You'll find out in a moment. ”

Liu Chun asked someone to get an axe, "Be careful, break this wood carving!" ”

His subordinates received the order, and sure enough, they split the wooden statue.

At this time, I looked inside again and was stunned.

Inside the wood carving, there is a treasure, which is a Buddha statue made of gold and jade.

The body of the Buddha made of mutton fat jade and the lotus platform made of red gold are fused together, and they are natural.

In the middle of the wood carving, there is such a thing, and the weight is naturally greater than that of simple wood.

At this time, Liu Chun picked up the broken wood carving, carefully compared, I have to say that the craftsman is superb, and he is stunned to make the wood carving into a texture, from the appearance, there is no flaw at all.

Xu Zengshou looked stupid.

"My God, an ordinary wood carving, there is a golden jade Buddha statue in it, the Qiao family is too interesting, right? I thought they were reluctant to give heavy gifts, but I didn't expect it to be different, wonderful, wonderful! ”

Liu Chun suddenly smiled, "You still think this is a gift?" Think it's good? ”

Xu Zengshou stared at Liu Chun stunned, "I said you wouldn't think this was a bribe, right?" You, why do you want to arrest me? Xu Zengshou was angry, "Liu Chun, you can't be so unkind!" Tell me, just a few days ago, I helped you pretend to be a ghost, and I was scared to death! If I die, let the first emperor know what I did, and I won't be able to live again! When I was alive, you cheated me, and you didn't let me go when I died, what hatred do I have with you? ”

He kept complaining, and Liu Chun couldn't listen to a word.

"I said Xu Zengshou, is your brain broken? Let me tell you, this merchant surnamed Qiao, his three sons-in-law invited many ministers to cheer for the family property, and of course, in order to invite people over, they also gave heavy gifts. ”

Xu Zengshou took a breath, "Yes, is it like me?" ”

"It's not." Liu Chun said categorically: "People give money directly." ”

"Then, then why give me such a thing, I ......" Xu Zengshou is not too stupid, during this time, he has been helping the military generals and nobles to do business, and he has a lot of contact with businessmen...... It is normal to give gifts when ushering in, and Xu Zengshou doesn't think there will be any problems.

But someone has hollowed out their minds and sent such a strange thing to themselves, and there is a story.

"Liu Chun, do you think someone is trying to harm me? Look at me, what should I do? Xu Zengshou's voice trembled, he was afraid that it would have something to do with greedy ink and bribery. Don't look at Zhu Di and Liu Chun, they may not kill him, but they will definitely make him worse than dead.

"You don't care about anything now, use your acting skills, and pretend to be nothing." Liu Chun paused, put the damaged wood carving together, and stuffed it to Xu Zengshou.

"Find a wood carver master with better craftsmanship, use the fastest time, make an exact one, this time it should be solid, put it at home, don't say anything else, understand?"

Xu Zengshou thought for a moment and immediately nodded.

"Thank you, I'll go!"

He ran away, Liu Chun held the golden jade Buddha statue, looked at it carefully for a long time, and the corners of his mouth turned up: It's really a good thing, you can lock it in your own secret room.

Xu Zengshou didn't realize that he had missed out on a huge fortune.

He hurried home, made preparations according to Liu Chun's instructions, and waited for three days.

Finally, when he was bored, a family member came to deliver the letter.

"Chen Ying is here."

Xu Zengshou stood up suddenly, gritting his teeth in anger.

"Chen Ying! It's you! ”

Xu Zengshou couldn't wait to tear him apart, it turned out that you were the black hand who framed Lao Tzu! You wait, Lao Tzu is going to tear you apart! “

Thinking so in his heart, after seeing Chen Ying, Xu Zengshou was full of smiles.

"Chen Zhongcheng, why are you here, is there something wrong?"

Chen Ying bowed and saluted, and then said with a stiff face: "Dingguo Gong, I just got a lift, and some people say that you are helping the family fight for property, but is there such a thing?" ”

Xu Zengshou's face sank instantly, "Lord Chen, are you here to arrest criminals?" Okay, you can put Xu in prison now. ”

Chen Ying saw that Xu Zengshou was angry, so she smiled and said: "Grandpa Guo misunderstood, I just came here to inquire about the situation, and asked Grandpa Guo not to hide it, explain the misunderstanding clearly, and naturally it won't be a big trouble." ”

"So, if I don't say it, it's going to be a big deal? Your Majesty knows it? Right? ”

Chen Ying said helplessly: "Grandpa Guo, the lower officials also act according to the law, why should you be embarrassed to be lowered?" ”

Xu Zengshou gritted his teeth, and after a long time, he said: "Chen Ying, I will sell you a face, but I can warn you, if you frame this lord, I can go to the Jinluan Palace with you to fight a lawsuit!" ”

Chen Ying nodded without hesitation, you have fallen into the trap, don't even think about running!

"Dingguo Gong, do you know about the Qiao family?"

"I only know that the old man of the Qiao family is dead. I don't know anything else. ”

Chen Ying said again: "That...... Did the Qiao family send anything to Grandpa Guo? ”

"Sent!"

"What is it?"

"What else could it be?" Xu Zengshou said politely: "The Qiao family is a person who plays with rotten wood, so he gave me a wood carving and asked me to throw it in the warehouse." ”

"Warehouse?" Chen Ying laughed and said, "Dingguo Gong, how noble your identity is, how can the Qiao family be so ignorant?" What's more, the three sons-in-law of the Qiao family are competing for property, and most of them have to ask Dingguo Gong for help, so how can they not pull out a dime? Doesn't that make sense? ”

Xu Zengshou gritted his teeth secretly, he was really ruthless!

If it weren't for Liu Chun, the loess mud would have fallen into the crotch of his pants, and it would be or.

Lao Tzu didn't provoke you, he was framed like this, so let's see who is more powerful!

"Chen Zhongcheng doesn't believe it, then go and bring that rag."

The family took the wooden box and put it heavily on the table, Chen Ying glanced at it, and was overjoyed in his heart, Xu Zengshou was covered!
