Chapter 125: The Whereabouts of Chuan Guoxi
At this time, Huo Laoqi was surrounded. After seeing him holding the package in the drunkard's hand, diners around him asked him to open it.
Huo Laoqi shouted depressedly: "What are you looking at? There is nothing. The thief is very smart and took away the things in the package early. I finally snatched the cloth bag and ended up being happy!"
"Oh, it's such a pity. If it's a true imperial seal, it's a blessing to take a look at it! Maybe your family will have a husband in the future!" The old scholar sighed and said, as if the imperial seal was a Guanyin giving birth to his son.
Huo Laoqi became excited in an instant and grabbed the front of the old scholar's robe: "Is your Chopo true?"
"Hurry up and let go, I'm just this one of the clothes I wear to go out! I'm afraid to tear it!" The old scholar quickly stood up and said hurriedly following Huo Laoqi's hand.
"Hehe, take the old man's words seriously? After reading the imperial seal, I can become my husband!" Huo Laoqi's expression turned 180 degrees, and he respectfully opened his hands and bowed to the old scholar.
Now the old peddler became uncomfortable: "Of course, think about it, who else can see the imperial seal besides the emperor?"
"There are also eunuchs in the palace!" The crowd on the side made a cheering voice.
"It's all nonsense! If the eunuch who really can't be seen by the eunuch who is so strong that even a man can see it? It must be in a box and dare not show it to others if it is not a big sacrifice."
"What the old man means is that those who can see the imperial seal are the only officials and the ministers in the court?" Huo Laoqi asked cautiously, his expression was excited and a little nervous.
"Of course! Captain Huo really saw it?! Let's talk quickly, I might be able to draw it, but don't forget how I made a living!"
As soon as the old scholar finished speaking, the crowd on the side squeezed into a ball. Driven by curiosity, Manager Wang simply became a book boy, took pen, ink, paper and ink from the counter to start grinding ink.
Huo Laoqi frowned and thought for a long time and put in a word: "White!"
"Then?!" The old scholar was able to study ink, and after licking his pen, he reached out and held it for a long time without seeing the text. He asked strangely: "Just one word?!"
"How can I do it? Let me think about it carefully. The thing is blue and white, with less blue and white, with a dragon above it, and its head facing the sky seemed to be about to come back alive and fly!"
Now the old scholar started writing, and he was worthy of making a living by drawing. With just a few strokes, he outlined the dragon that had been flying to the sky. Huo Laoqi looked at it and nodded repeatedly: "It's similar to this, but one claw is missing, and the other person has five claws!"
The old peddler smiled and said, "I dare not add it again. The five-clawed golden dragon is used by the official family. We just need to know. If you really want to draw it, I will still have to take care of it!"
Everyone agreed and made sense, then turned their heads and looked at Huo Laoqi waiting for his next words.
"The jade seal is filled with two dragons fighting for a bead. The bead is so big!" After Huo Laoqi said that, he reached out and gestured.
"Hey! I dare not say nonsense. This is a dragon ball, and it is also a sun. The pearl of a thousand gold must be under the jaw of the nine-level abyss. Let me think about it, the sea is probably under the two dragons playing with the pearl?"
"The old man is so knowledgeable. I'm still thinking about the ups and downs! Isn't it just water waves!"
Under Huo Laoqi's description and the old scholar's self-importance, a jade seal appeared vividly on the paper. All the onlookers were amazed, and even Manager Wang wanted to pay for the sketch.
"I can't do it. I'll use this sketch to report to the master. No, the painting is a bit different from what I've seen..."
"What's different? I drew it as you said, but I didn't add it in any random way!"
"I can't tell what's different, it's just a bit weird anyway..."
"Is there a corner of it golden?" Ding Wei slowly walked down the stairs and said.
Huo Laoqi suddenly realized: "Yes! There is a corner missing and it is made up with gold. I said, how could there be a piece of gold on the white jade... Mr. Ding?!"
The words "Sir Ding" shocked everyone onlookers, and he quickly stood up and greeted each other in unison.
"You saw Huo Laoqi with your own eyes?"
"Yes...yes...the villain saw with his own eyes that there was no mistake at all!"
"Are you sure you read it right?"
"The villain is the captain of Kaifeng Mansion. He usually does something to arrest bandits. How can he not have a pair of good tricks? I see the jade seal really!"
"Oh, since that's the case, you take this sketch and go with the original character!" Ding Wei frowned and said to the swearing Huo Laoqi.
From Huo Laoqi's description and the sketch on paper, Ding Wei can be sure that the jade seal is either a real imperial seal or a fake with extremely high similarity, but no matter which one is very important.
After hearing Ding Wei's words, Huo Laoqi fought two battles: "There is no need for Mr. Ding? I'm just saying whatever I see. Just have this pattern?"
"How can you make a joke about such a big deal? Don't talk too much, just follow me to the palace!"
Ding Wei has been in the prime minister for a long time, and his words and deeds are full of momentum. Everyone in Fanlou is silent. Huo Laoqi has no choice but to follow him, but he is overjoyed. The task assigned by the prince has been fulfilled. Unexpectedly, it attracted the attention of Xianggong Ding. The news should be able to spread throughout Tokyo very quickly.
Huo Laoqi had never seen so many jades, all kinds of colors piled up on the table in front of him, as white as mutton fat and as green as lake water. He was dazzled, but he was not excited at all now, just thinking that he was a sheep among the wolves.
Kou Zhun looked at Huo Laoqi who was hesitating and said, "You don't have to think too much, you can refer to any piece of jade like."
Huo Laoqi pointed his hand at a piece of white jade without hesitation and said, "This one looks the most, but there is a little blue on it. The color of the jade seal is blue on top and white on the bottom, which is more sensual than this one..."
Kou Zhun looked at Huo Laoqi in surprise: "You must be right?"
"There is no mistake. The texture of the jade seal is so special that you can't forget it after reading it!"
Lu Zongdao picked up the jade with blue and white at the top and sighed: "Is it true that the imperial seal will be lost and restored?"
Ding Wei frowned and interrupted him: "It's too early to say this now. You must find the drunk man, otherwise something will happen!"
Kou Zhun nodded: "It's important. I'll tell the officials that Xianggong Ding must block the news and not leak it. Lu Zhengzheng, go to Kaifeng Prefecture to tell Ma Yuanfang that it is necessary to find the drunkard within three days when mobilizing personnel!"
