The market place was bustling with people, the sounds of vendors shouting, buyers bargaining, goods clashing and other sounds intertwined together, making it a busy place.

Merchants from all over the world wear various costumes and carry various goods for trading here. Some traders are selling their goods everywhere, hoping to attract the attention of more buyers. Some traders hold some rare items and show off their beauty to buyers, hoping to sell them at a high price. Some traders also sell their goods through auctions.

Teams of soldiers and officials were constantly patrolling the venue to maintain order and ensure smooth transactions.

This trip on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty was really worthwhile. The various rare treasures on the market opened her eyes. She and the dried meat and bean curd sticks were sold out in one morning after tasting and selling. There were also several The big businessman reached a cooperation agreement with her and wanted to purchase goods from her and sell them throughout the dynasty. After selling out the goods, she also bought various medicinal materials, tea leaves, dried fruits, cloth and other items from outside the customs, filled a cart full, and then returned to Xishan Village with satisfaction.

Yizhou City, Ruifuzhai Pawnshop. Qiao Liang had just seen off a customer when he saw Yuan Hongjie walking in with two people.

"Master Yuan, you are here!"

Yuan Hongjie looked unhappy, with a cold face and his hands behind his back, "It's been five days, has your shopkeeper come back? I tell you, no matter what, you have to hand over the jade pendant to me and take it away today!"

It turned out that five days ago, after Yuan Hongjie received the pawn ticket sold to him on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he went into the city and went straight to the pawn shop to redeem the pawn. Qiao Liang was the only one in the shop at that time, and he was shocked when he saw the pawn ticket. He clearly remembered the jade pendant for which the ticket was pawned. It was exactly the piece that his master asked him and Jiang Xue to deliver to the border and hand it over to the prince!

The jade pendant is no longer in the pawn shop, and now someone wants to redeem it. What should I do?

Fortunately, he was smart and came up with a delaying strategy. He told Yuan Hongjie that the jade pendant was for one year and had been put into the warehouse! Only the shopkeeper has the key to this warehouse, but the shopkeeper has gone out and will not come back until five days later, asking Yuan Hongjie to come back in five days.

Now five days have passed, and Yuan Hongjie has arrived as promised.

Qiao Liang saw Yuan Hongjie's gloomy face and knew that he was in a bad mood, so he immediately went to the back hall to invite his master Qiao Fuxuan out.

Qiao Fuxuan looked at the pawn ticket in Yuan Hongjie's hand and said with a stern face, "Sir, I remember it wasn't you who came to pawn something last time, right?"

"Don't your pawnshop only recognize the ticket but not the person? You don't care who pawned it!" Yuan Hongjie said angrily and put the pawn ticket on the counter. "I have the ticket and the redemption money. Just give me the jade pendant." , what are you talking about!"

"Sir, I'm afraid you can't take away the jade pendant you pawned for!" Feng Sihai, the yamen's catcher, came out of the back hall with two agents, "Come on, take him back!"

The two detectives stood behind Yuan Hongjie without any explanation and wanted to catch him and take him away. Yuan Hongjie got rid of their restraints and snorted coldly, "Why don't we just go to the government office? I can leave by myself."

Although Yuan Hongjie was an idle official in the court and did not hold any official position, Yuan Wenjing, his father, was there. He returned to Yizhou City for more than ten days and was not invited to attend banquets on various occasions. He knew quite a few of the prefects, He Yutang, and thought that going to the Yamen was just a formality.

But when he got to the court, He Yutang showed no favoritism to him. He was startled and started questioning the case, asking him where he got the jade pendant he pawned on the ticket.

Seeing He Yutang's majestic face, an ominous premonition surged into Yuan Hongjie's heart. Hearing He Yutang's question again, he suddenly felt horrified. After all, he had never seen this jade pendant before, and he didn’t know where it came from, so he had to answer honestly: “I don’t know!”

Only then did he realize that he was too eager for quick success! When I took the pawn ticket, I only thought about how to claim credit and did not think about the negative consequences.

He Yutang took out the jade pendant that Xiao Jing gave him and showed it to Yuan Hongjie, "The jade pendant for the pawn ticket is this one! It is the jade pendant that King An lost at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet last year! In order to find it, the emperor We are all searching for him on the Imperial List, Master Yuan must not know about this!"

"Of course I know this!" Yuan Hongjie had cold sweat on his forehead.

"Since you know it, then why did your Yuan family take the jade pendant but didn't return it, and instead pawned it for money in Southwest China!"

"This……"

"Master Yuan, Prince An is very angry about this. He has already filed a lawsuit against your Yuan family, accusing you of embezzling property! Master Yuan, anyone who embezzles a huge amount of other people's property will be sentenced to at least three years in prison!"

"Ah!" This was something Yuan Hongjie never expected, and he couldn't help but be shocked. At the same time, he scolded Yuan Chuyi a hundred times in his heart. If he was really going to be sentenced to jail, there would be nothing left for him.

In order to prevent himself from being implicated, he hurriedly said: "Master He doesn't know something. I didn't get this thing and I don't deserve it. Everything was done by my niece! I also rushed over after getting the news. It was I want to redeem the jade pendant and bring it back to the capital to Prince An!"

He Yutang couldn't hear his sophistry, "Isn't your niece a member of your Yuan family?"

Yuan Hongjie was speechless.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Yuan Wenyuan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "The person in Dang Yupei has been expelled from the family by us. She is no longer a member of my Yuan family. Please check clearly!"

"Really? Are you lying to me to shirk responsibility?"

"That's absolutely not the case!" In order to confirm his statement, Yuan Wenyuan also took out the documents and genealogy that had been prepared to expel Yuan Chuyi from the family.

He was really glad that he was fully prepared just in case. He knew that Yuan Chu Yi was a scourge, but fortunately he had the foresight to drive this scourge out from the beginning.

He Yutang took the genealogy and documents and checked them carefully to confirm their validity.

"Then what is the name of the woman who is wearing the jade pendant? Who are her parents? Where is she now? Please write down all her information, including her date of birth, and I will check them one by one. If there are any mistakes or omissions that will offend Prince An, then you will The Yuan family will definitely not be able to escape guilt."

"I'm sure, I won't dare to hide anything!"

Yuan Wenyuan responded and immediately wrote out the information about Yuan Chuyi's life experience, including her birthday, and handed it to He Yutang.

He Yutang took it, looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction, "In this case, I will send people to Xishan Village to bring this Yuan Chuyi back for questioning. If it is true as you said, she will be solely responsible for the crime, and you will be responsible for it." The Yuan family has nothing to do with it!”

After Fang Yuan's family left, He Yutang walked to the back hall with the jade pendant, the confiscated pawn ticket, and Yuan Chuyi's identity information, and handed them to Xiao Jing who was waiting there.

Xiao Jing took the three things, thanked He Yutang, and said, "I also ask Mr. He to be a matchmaker for me and the Yuan family and write a marriage letter."

He Yutang was overjoyed, "Thanks to the prince for being so considerate, I am honored to be the official!"
