"Take them all out and let me see." Master Liu didn't expect that there were more than one, and became more interested.

Gu Beizhi had no choice but to bring the Shiwen Zhihu and the other two green-glazed flasks, "Master Liu, they are all here."

Gu Beizhi already knew that Amuchad had offended Mr. Liu, but he didn't know how to deal with it later.

In just a few days, the president of the Huolu Town Chamber of Commerce has changed. The proud president Zhang has moved with his family and his whereabouts are unknown.

Amuchad not only gave the emerald white to Master Liu, but was also driven out of Huolu Town, and even the Liu County to which he belonged was no longer open to his caravan.

Zhao Guo's current region is divided into provinces, cities, counties, towns, and villages, which is no different from the 22nd century where Gu Beizhi lives, but the flow of people is very different.

For example, the villages around Huolu Town may spend their whole lives around the villages and towns, and they don't know what the outside world is like.

A merchant like Amuchad kept Huolu Town from being closed, but he was not the only caravan passing by here, so the loss of a caravan is not a big problem for Huolu Town.

This is enough to show the strength of Master Liu's backstage.

Maybe it has something to do with the Liu family in Liu County. It is unknown. Liu County was named after the Liu family, but that branch had already moved to Kyoto to settle down, and the relationship with other branches of the family was not harmonious.

Shopkeeper Du told Gu Beizhi the news at the beginning, and asked him to be more polite to Mr. Liu. The emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and no matter how bad the relationship between the Liu family's side branch and the direct branch is, it is not something they can fool.

Gu Beizhi heard this and remembered it in his heart, but he didn't show any intention of flattering him, as if he was doing his best to treat an ordinary guest.

Mr. Liu didn't like porcelain very much. He picked up the green glaze bottle, glanced at it, put it down, and then picked up the yellow glaze poetry pot, "What poem is written on it?"

"It's Wang Wei's "Deer Chai", a poem about scenery."

Gu Beizhi recited the poems on the bottle, his voice was slightly deep, but not hoarse, like a guqin with flowing water patterns, melodious and beautiful.

"Not bad, not bad." Master Liu nodded, and suddenly said, "Master Gu has a reputation as a scholar?"

"Yes." Gu Beizhi saw Liu Changqing cast a puzzled look at him, "Scholars also have to support their families and earn money. Baoyixuan has high wages and good benefits. The shopkeeper and the guys are easy to get along with. You can come here It's my luck."

Master Liu clapped his hands, "Master Gu thinks clearly, he doesn't pretend to be a scholar and starves his stomach, hahaha, my son is planning to give it a try next year, you can communicate more, don't delay your knowledge."

"If the young master doesn't dislike it, then of course you can ask for it." Gu Beizhi poured some tea for Liu Changqing.

He behaved very calmly, and poured water smoothly, without a gesture of flattery at all. Instead, he was like a polite host who took the initiative to take care of the guests when talking with them.

Master Liu looked at the porcelain vase with a decent face, chatted for a long time, and finally clapped his hands, "OK, wrap up these three bottles for me, the price is up to you."

Gu Beizhi's gaze lingered on the Poetry Teapot for a moment, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for taking care of me. Poetry Poetry Pots are rare here because of their craftsmanship, and the price is higher. The remaining two are counted as ten taels, a total of 60 taels .”

Master Liu took out the money without saying a word, Gu Beizhi asked Shuisheng to take three wooden boxes and transfer the porcelain vases in, and Master Liu gave another twelve boxes of money.

"Shopkeeper, let's keep the accounts. Two blue-glazed flasks cost 20 taels, one yellow-glazed and brown-colored poetry pot costs 40 taels, and three ordinary wooden boxes cost ten taels." Gu Beizhi put the money on the counter.

He was talking, but he was thinking about the poetry pot in his mind, so he couldn't help being a little distracted.

In the eyes of shopkeeper Du, he was reluctant to hold the pot with poems and prose, and comforted him, "Porcelain with poems and prose is rare, but it is not rare, and we will accept another one when a merchant from the south comes in a few days. "

"Then Master Liu is also repaying you for helping him see through the scam. You have to appreciate it. If one of the holding pots is gone, it will be gone. It will be almost enough to find another one next time."

Because Jin Dacheng participated in the scam, their bosses were alarmed, and shopkeeper Du naturally knew what was going on, so he could only persuade Gu Beizhi that although this Master Liu was also a businessman, his bosses couldn't afford to mess with him. people.

If it wasn't for the fact that Bao Yixuan was the one who exposed the deception, it wouldn't matter whether Baoyixuan could continue to open.

Therefore, shopkeeper Du hated Jin Dacheng to death, but loved Gu Beizhi even more.

After Jin Dacheng was released by Mr. Liu, shopkeeper Du fired him and gave his appraisal room to Gu Beizhi. Jin Dacheng's appraisal room was much larger than Gu Beizhi's, and Gu Beizhi did not refuse.

"Don't worry, Du Bo, I know the seriousness, besides..." Gu Beizhi glanced outside, "I didn't like that holding pot..."

Master Liu returned home with his son and the three wooden boxes. On the way, Liu Changqing frowned again, "Father, I don't want to go to Wang Qinglin's school anymore."

"What's the matter? That Wang made things difficult for you?" Master Liu had long been worried about his son's gloomy appearance. After hearing his words, his first reaction was that his son was being bullied, and he immediately became angry.

Liu Changqing sighed, "Father, don't be angry, it's not to make things difficult for me, but I always feel weird and very uncomfortable."

That Wang Qinglin is knowledgeable, but the way he teaches is very strange, as if he is always observing you and secretly evaluating something.

"Father, I'd better go back and learn from Mr. Lin. Even though Wang Qinglin is good and can teach a few talents, I really don't like it..."

"Sure, then I won't go. I'll ask the butler to come and bring your luggage back tomorrow. We'll go to Liu County after we stay for half a month."

Master Liu dotes on his son, especially when he and his wife have only one child, so they dote even more.

"Well, thank you dad, I'm self-willed." Liu Changqing sighed, obviously making this decision did not make him feel comfortable.

His family moved from Liu County to Huolu Town just for him to take the imperial examination next year. He has already passed the Tongsheng examination, but he is not sure that he will pass the scholar examination next year.

I heard people say that Wang Juren from Huolu Town is a capable person. Eight out of ten of his disciples passed the examination as a scholar. Master Liu had a friendship with this Wang Juren, so he moved here from Liu County. He planned to let Liu Changqing Go to Wang Juren to study.

But after a while, he couldn't take it anymore, and his father's painstaking efforts were in vain.

Liu Changqing was a little dejected, Master Liu looked anxiously, and stroked his son's head, "Son, don't be upset, how about dad going to buy you a kite?"

Before the age of ten, Liu Changqing loved flying kites the most. Every time he was unhappy, he immediately cheered up when he went to buy a kite.After ten years old, the schoolwork is much heavier, and there is no chance to fly a kite.

He was a little moved, but still shook his head after thinking about it, "Father, no need, let's go home, mother is still waiting."

The father and son returned to the house, Master Liu asked his son to go to his wife first, and he went to the study in the front yard with the newly bought porcelain bottle.

"Take these two blue-glazed vases to Madam, and the yellow-glazed teapot to me. Go down." Master Liu dismissed the servants who followed him, and pushed open the door of the study.

There was a tall, thin middle-aged man in the study. When he saw him, his eyes moved directly to the wooden box in his hand, "Here?"

"Yes, I bought it." Master Liu opened the wooden box and handed the yellow glazed pot to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man turned the holding pot and wrote on the paper, the four characters 'empty, human, entering, and rising', one sentence in the poem corresponds to one word.

After copying, he raised the holding pot and threw it on the ground, and a piece of exquisite porcelain was turned into pieces just like that. Still feeling uneasy like this, he picked up a large piece and threw it to pieces.

After the middle-aged man finished falling, he sat back at the desk and faced the four words, took out a small booklet from his arms, and matched each word with each other. ash.

Master Liu watched the middle-aged man doing these things very quietly, but his eyes scanned up and down the study room, very vigilant.

After the burning was over, the two began to talk, "When you brought it back, who passed through the pot?"

"Except for Amuchad, it's the shopkeeper and buddy of Baoyixuan." Mr. Liu asked about the pot holding very clearly, "After Amuchad was sold to Baoyixuan, the appraiser kept putting the porcelain pot in the appraisal room , In the past few days, no one has been there except the appraiser himself."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, "I have burned the code book and the porcelain pot. Even if someone knows that the poem on the pot has a secret, they still can't solve it. Now we just need to bring the news back to Kyoto."

"Brother, you should set off as soon as possible, and hurry back to the capital before anyone else has reacted."

"Okay, I will leave at night, and you will return to Liu County as soon as possible."

"Well, my brother knows." Master Liu's fat face revealed some heroism.

The middle-aged man looked at his fat body and couldn't bear to look at him, "You should lose this fat too, it hurts my eyes!"

Master Liu laughed, chubby and silly, "Isn't this to paralyze the enemy? Look at me like this, who knows I'm Liu Quanwu?"

"..." The middle-aged man sighed, "It's hard for you, next year at the latest, there will be a result!"

"It's okay, brother, for the sake of the Liu family, what is this? I'm still alive, your eldest nephew and sister-in-law are also living well, and the Liu family is still the same as before. There's nothing wrong with it."

Master Liu didn't know whether he was convincing himself or the middle-aged man. In the end, the two brothers were speechless and could only hug each other and say goodbye.

When the middle-aged man left, Master Liu called his servants to collect the debris and paper ashes. He was silent for a long time when he saw the fat pig-like face in the mirror.

Gu Beizhi sold the Shiwen Zhihu, so he let himself forget about it, and went to work step by step.

Only on August 21, he came back from a day off and found that his identification room seemed to have been tampered with, but the lock on the door was good...

He checked the things in the house and found that nothing was missing, but the feeling of being turned over was more obvious.

His intuition told him that someone was following him.
