Chapter 557; Accident

"Did they bring it? Why didn't they return it?"

Hearing this, Qiu Shuang shook her head and said, "I just asked them to leave, but I didn't notice this."

"How about I collect them first and then send them back after they are released?"

"That's fine, you can take it down first."

Just when Qiu Shuang was moving those things, an object wrapped in red silk fell out.

It made a crisp impact sound when it landed on the table.

"What's this?"

Lu Yaoyao suddenly spoke. The object wrapped in red silk was not big, about the size of a child's palm. It looked like a jade pendant or something.

Personally, she still prefers jade, and she also liked it in her previous life, but the price of the fine jade in her previous life made her daunted.

At this time, they also noticed that something was wrong with King Jin's expression.

Not long after, Zheng Youcai, who looked frightened, was brought to the King of Jin.

You must know that Zheng Youcai is just a commoner. Even if he has some money, it is still thanks to the support of the Luo family.

In ancient society, dragons were a symbol of status and should not be used casually. Even if those opera singers needed to use them, they would find ways to avoid them and try to make the dragon patterns appear different.

"No, I have investigated Zheng Youcai and found that his family has been an ordinary scholar for the past three generations."

However, King Jin just looked at him intently. He really didn't understand how his father's beloved thing fell into his hands.

Just like the imperial gold medal she received earlier, it was also royal and engraved with the imperial dragon pattern, but it was a gift from the emperor.

Indeed, when the late emperor passed away, all the things he used before him had to be put away for burial, especially those that he liked more.

As soon as he said this, Zheng Youcai suddenly realized something, and his face turned pale.

This is about to end. The grain storage matter has not been settled yet. Now there is a charge of secretly concealing and manufacturing royal items?

But at this time, the dragon pattern on this jade pendant is very beautifully carved and the details are very clear.

Seeing that he was so sure, Lu Yaoyao frowned slightly.

"Family heirloom?"

When Zheng Youcai was tired of complaining, he took out the jade pendant and put it directly in front of Zheng Youcai.

"Here, the young ones must handle the matters assigned by the prince."

How could such a high-end item appear in a gift from Zheng Youcai's family?

The five-clawed dragon pattern is an object that can only be worn by the royal family and the royal palace.

Lu Yaoyao and Qiu Shuang were stunned by the sound of Father.

"When the late emperor passed away, was there any turmoil in the capital?"

However, when she saw the carvings on the jade again, Qiu Shuang was stunned, Lu Yaoyao raised his eyebrows slightly, and Prince Jin next to him stood up.

King Jin took the jade pendant and looked through it immediately. Then he looked shocked and stared at the two big characters carved in the middle of the back of the jade pendant.

Even a prince like King Jin cannot use it.

"Hmph, you still know it's a dragon. Tell me, who is qualified to use such an object?"

"No need to be polite, where is the person I ordered to be imprisoned?"

Lu Yaoyao leaned over and stared at the jade pendant and asked.

Qiu Shuang has been with Lu Yaoyao for many years, so she naturally knows her lady's hobbies very well. She quickly put down the things she just picked up, picked up the red silk and opened it.

"show me."

When the officials on duty saw King Jin arriving, they all came over to salute and greet him.

People from Shuntian Mansion quickly made arrangements.

Lu Yaoyao nodded.

Lu Yaoyao just stretched out his hand to take the jade pendant, but he didn't want to be overtaken by King Jin.

King Jin's aura was fully activated when he asked again. Zheng Youcai was so oppressed that he had difficulty breathing, but thinking that his own life was at stake, he still forced himself to adjust his state.

There is indeed a piece of jade inside, and it is also a top-grade jadeite of excellent quality.

"Father."

Yes, this jade pendant is engraved with a serious dragon pattern.

"Do you know what is carved on this?"

There has never been any big shot in our ancestors, so how could something like this appear in his hands.

"It's not like the things in the palace are allowed to leak outside. What's more, this thing is something my father wears every day, and it's even less likely to be allowed to flow out of the palace."

"Where did you get this jade pendant?"

"It's not wrong, it's absolutely not wrong. This jade pendant belongs to my father. When I was a child, I often saw him hanging it on his waist and played with it."

If there were capable people in Zheng Youcai's family, it is not ruled out that the late emperor once rewarded him with a jade pendant.

"How did your father's things end up in Zheng Youcai's hands?"

"Are there any capable people among his ancestors?"

"Do you recognize this thing?"

Can he still be saved?

"It's just that that guy is not very honest. He always wants to find someone to report the news to, and the younger ones didn't pay any attention to him."

"Long, who doesn't know this?"

However, after arriving in Dongzhou, her hobby has not changed. As far as her warehouse is concerned, the most abundant items in it are high-quality jade objects.

"My lord, please forgive me. This thing is not from my family. It is a wedding gift given to me by my aunt."

The sound of "I am the king" and the sound of questioning directly frightened Zheng Youcai, who was already pale, and he fell to the ground weakly.

In the evening of the same day, King Jin returned to the capital and went directly to Shuntian Mansion without even remembering to return home.

King Jin smiled coldly.

"Answer me honestly. If you tell a lie, I will kill you."

After a while, he finally reacted and got up and knelt in front of King Jin.

King Jin nodded, then shook his head and said, "It is true that there was turmoil, but it was only limited to the battles between the kings, and it did not spread too widely."

"What's going on? This jade pendant doesn't belong to your father, does it?"

Zheng Youcai was startled, looked around, nodded quickly and said, "I know you, I know you. This is a little family heirloom. I don't know how it ended up in the hands of an adult."

"That's strange. Since there is no capable person, how could this thing fall into his hands?"

"The most capable person is Zheng Youcai's father. He was admitted to the Juren Examination at a young age, otherwise he would not have been favored by the Luo family and would have married his daughter."

"It seems that I have to go and have a good meeting with Zheng Youcai."

Although the jade pendant belongs to the royal family, the owner does not necessarily belong to the royal family. At least at certain times, royal items will be spread out of the palace.

He didn't know King Jin, but that didn't stop him from pleading for mercy.

King Jin nodded and continued, "Find a quiet room for me, and you go and bring Zheng Youcai over."

"I didn't realize that this was a royal thing at the time. If you knew about it, even if you had a hundred courages, I wouldn't dare to hide it secretly."

Hearing this, King Jin frowned slightly and continued to ask, "Your aunt gave it to you? Humph, you still dare to lie. Do you think I haven't investigated the situation in your family?"

"How can your aunt get such a thing?"

"No, no, the prince did not lie. Although my aunt is not a capable person, she did do things in the palace in her early years."
