Mei Qing himself doesn’t know what’s going on. It seems that he is naturally suitable for this kind of life. There are still some ideas in his heart. These days, he is also a little weak. He has explored his previous experience and made his new job with peace of mind.
"Oh, Mei!" Huang Pang saw that Mei Qing had sat down in front of the case and picked up the side pile file, so he leaned in and smiled. "Supposedly, I came back late yesterday and I should help you do more work, but what a coincidence! It happened that a friend who hadn’t seen me for years came back from the Great Wall. You said that I had to spend time with others when I was the master. You didn’t say this-"
"All right, all right," Mei Qing said with a smile. "There’s nothing you can do for me here, even though when you are a good host, you said yesterday that I didn’t see anything that I had sent me after hunting …"
"I’m wrong, can’t I?" Fat put on a sad face. "Don’t dare to have another time. Uncle Mei, don’t worry. I’ll bake it directly and show it to you."
Mei Qing smiled and waved his hand and said nothing more. Mei Qing knew this guy was a genius to the end, but he was quite helpful. Such people get along too much, but they don’t care. The more they criticize at random in small things, the more intimate they are.
Fat also hey hey smiled and pushed the door and looked around. Then he made a gesture of yi to Mei Qing and ran away.
Mei Qing smiled at the yellow fat disappearing figure and bowed his head and looked at the file again.
This volume of cases is all new, but a security guard has just turned over a few cases. Mei Qing can’t help but shine at the moment. This volume is actually the case that he encountered some time ago, from the death of Scar Liu and Li Meiqi’s ink rain Zhao Boxu.
It was because of this that Mei Qing was involved in this place now. Afterwards, although Mei Qing repeatedly thought about it, it was not surprising. He also asked Zhongshu Zhongshu that these ghosts and gods believed it or not; Ask the Royal Guards to force themselves to do their own thing again, and Uncle Zhong will hum and hum a few times. Anyway, he doesn’t know anything.
At this time, when I saw this file, Mei Qing could not help but read it carefully.
This file should have been written by that Ma Daren, and the case alarmed the Royal Guards, but its root was the Seven Star inkstone in that side.
This seven-star inkstone is indeed a big place. It was from the previous generation that local tribute was given to the court. Three years ago, Dazhong led a fire and destroyed a palace. This inkstone was lost at that time.
At that time, it was said that the weather was dry and the fire broke out. In fact, it was not so simple. After cleaning up the scene of the fire, the collapsed palace wall actually gave people a stolen hole and went straight to a residential building outside the imperial city.
The day heard the news and was furious. The Royal Guards searched for the thief and arrested him soon after, but the man refused to plead guilty and the stolen goods could not be lost.
This seven-star inkstone was also among the stolen goods. Therefore, when Shuntianfu handled the case, this inkstone appeared, and it was soon known by the Royal Guards that it was dispatched overnight to arrest Mei Qing and Wang Shigu involved in the case, and then dug the grave of Scar Liu and buried the coffin with all kinds of porcelain. It was the rare treasures that were lost in the palace case three years ago.
Chapter 16 Mind my heart
Mei Qing see here is not behind a layer of cold sweat andao indeed as expected some thoughtless that day.
Scar Liu’s things can’t be ordinary people’s. Scar Liu Hang is weird and stays in such a place. He recklessly bumped into the box and randomly divided the porcelain and put the rest of the utensils into the roots. He never thought about the origin of these things.
When Mei Qing also vaguely thought that "there is no place to find these treasures except the palace", he did not think deeply that these things came from the big ones.
If it weren’t for someone to rescue and harbor stolen goods, it would have been enough for Mei Qing’s family to ruin, which also involved several lives. What’s more, Zhao Boxu, the official of the imperial court, was deeply interested in the origin of the rescuer when he thought of it. It’s clear that Sixth Master would help himself.
Judging from the performance of Sixth Master on that day, it is obvious that it should also be entrusted by people. Otherwise, Sixth Master’s position is afraid that he has never even heard of his own name, let alone rescued him, but he is familiar with people in officialdom. How can he let that Sixth Master do it?
Mei Qing thought while continuing to look at the case because Mei Qing was rescued. It is estimated that Wang Shigu will also be released later. Scar Liu Ding, the principal thief of the palace, escaped for many years and died. Most of the stolen goods were recovered-in Mei Qing, three people took things except Li Mei, who was recovered. Wang Shigu simply did not appear in the file.
Li Mei Mo Yu’s death was handled by Shuntian prefect. According to the case, she was finally lost by the new prefect and died in a frenzy.
In Zhao Boxu’s death, he was alone in the room that night. Suddenly, his screams were counted. When the official rushed to the door and saw that he was dead and his wound was horrible. It seemed that he had seen something terrible. In general, the volume also said that Gao, the chief officer, died of illness at the same night.
Mei Qing’s heart is cold and soaked. If there is anything pressing on his heart, he can’t breathe.
From the beginning, including Scar Liu, six people have come into contact with this inkstone, but they have died strangely, and it is hard to believe that all kinds of strange things are hard to say.
Mei Qing had been a happy-go-lucky person before, and his family didn’t need him to work hard after a long illness. Therefore, he never knew that the world had to work hard on his own, but this incident was born in the face of a series of unexpected things, and that feeling of helping left a deep shadow in his heart.
"Three early in the morning" as a greeting Mei Qing looked up and saw the day size Lao Zhang stepped in.
The more familiar Lao Zhang Mei Qing is these days, Lao Zhang’s name is Zhang Qizheng. Zhong Da is about fifty years old. On weekdays, he always has a dark, thin and slender face. It’s rare to show a smile. On weekdays, he doesn’t see what others say in this courtyard. It’s not good to talk occasionally and have some cold popularity.
Zhang Qizheng has been playing with collections for some years, specializing in calligraphy, painting and inscriptions, especially fond of ancient books. These days, high-ranking officials and nobles play antiques, mostly dealing in these things. It is not particularly important to take advantage of their elegance and high-value jade porcelain.
Zhang Qizheng’s proudest thing is to collect all kinds of epigraphy in his hand, and he is afraid that there will not be hundreds of rubbings. At this time, there are more and more objects unearthed in Zhong Ding in the prosperous season, so it is better than in previous generations. At this time, literati have little research on the previous generation of Zhong Ding characters, so the rubbings are good but the identification has become a difficult problem
There are common inscriptions in three generations of Zhong Ding, whose characters are called inscriptions on bronze or Zhong Dingwen belong to the big seal type. Although they are in the same strain, their identification difficulty is different.
The reason is that the small seal script was the standard script promulgated after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, and there are even more dictionary translation annotations like Shuowen in later generations, so it is not difficult to identify it, while the large seal script has been mixed since ancient times, and there are quite a few cases with different characters and so on, so the world can almost identify it at this time.
Some time ago, Zhang Qizheng got a new bronze jar extension, but he didn’t know the origin of it. Its several lines of inscriptions were difficult to read, but many people could read it. Later, he brought it to Mei Qing and asked him to take a look at Mei Qing’s words and conclude that its meaning was made of copper by a vassal king in the Shang Dynasty. He explained the inscriptions one by one.
Zhang Qizheng is also immersed in this veteran. Naturally, he knows that Mei Qing’s knowledge is rare. When he wants to be shocking, he immediately pulled Mei Qing’s hand and brother, and urged Mei Qing to ask for advice at home.
When Mei Qing met Zhang Qizheng’s various kinds of stone extensions hidden in his hands, he even praised them as the crown of the sea. Especially, there were hundreds of great words in them. Zhang Qizheng was so proud that he made many friends that he didn’t care much. Therefore, after listening to Mei Qingyan, he felt that his lifelong confidant even called him "as good as ever". Since then, Zhang Qizheng’s Mei Qing has been very affectionate. Every day, he has to come to Mei Qing to talk about all kinds of anecdotes and enjoy new things in the capital recently.
Today, Zhang Qizheng came into the door with a big smile on his face. "Sanqing, can you have a foolish brother to go out today?" Two days ago, Brother Yu, a foreign friend accidentally got a set of teachings. It seems to me that it is as big as Song Dynasty, but there are many suspicious things in it, so it is not feasible and convenient to use my brother’s eyes. "
Mei Qingwei is now reluctant to say, "Brother Huang occasionally has something important for you and me today. If we leave again, do you want to look good when there are some things?"
Zhang Qizheng hey hey smiled. "Sanqing, you’ve been here for a short time, but it’s not the case in this yamen. You can rest assured that I’ll take care of it for you over there."
Mei Qing listened to Zhang Qizheng and said that he no longer insisted on a smile and nodded. He packed the documents in his hand and tied the door to Zhang Qizheng.
Taiqing Palace is located in the northwest of Beijing. It is small in scale, but it is very exquisite. This palace used to be a real Dojo. In the previous generation, it was really promoted by the court. Incense was also flourishing for a while. Times have changed. There was a generation that respected Taoism, but it was a cold shoulder. The so-called world was cold and cheerless. This little Taiqing Palace was also deserted. The doors and walls of the temple were already mottled.
Zhang Qizheng seems to be familiar with this place, leading Mei Qing into the view, passing through the front hall, going straight into the hall from one side corner door and turning to a side yard after the view.
Mei Qing couldn’t help admiring the beauty of this small courtyard when he was admitted to the hospital. There are indeed spiritual practitioners. Seeing that the courtyard is not as exquisite as other gardens, but it is naturally interesting. A few idle flowers in a bay of clear water seem to be scattered in front of the house without arrangement. A Gu Song hovers and pitches in front of the eaves, which adds to the dust.
Zhang Qizheng led Mei Qing straight to the hospital and saw a small street boy cleaning up. He looked up and saw Zhang Qizheng with a smile. "Mr. Zhang came to the strange way and just went out and saw spiders weaving webs. It should have been in the guest’s house."
Zhang Qizheng, an old-fashioned man, couldn’t help laughing at the children’s saying, "Yue, your mouth is getting more and more talkative. Will I come or not? Is there any fairy in your spider?"
Trail Tong Yue laughed, "Spider will report good news and see what the distinguished guests say. The Taoist priest just finished his homework today and is sitting quietly in his room waiting for my report."
Then he put his broom in his hand and walked quickly to the first room and came out for a moment. "Mr. Zhang, please come in."
Zhang Qizheng nodded and Mei Qing went into the room together to see that the main hall was not imagined. It should be that Bai Daochang’s usual resting place was very strangely arranged. It was in the middle of a big nave face with a word "Tao". The strokes were round and plain, and the paper color was yellowish. It seems that the double connection on both sides should be the same person’s handwriting. The Tao is the three realms, and everything is not my heart.
After reading this couplet, Mei Qing couldn’t help but frown, only to see that a side door had ushered in a Taoist priest. Seeing that he was dressed in a linen cassock, he was already a little whiter and had a few patches. His face was thin, but his eyes were bright, and his flowers were white and his hair was tied in a bun. A wooden hairpin was as smooth as jade, and his hand gently held an ebony handle to dust. It was indeed a picture of a master.
When the white people saw Zhang Qizheng’s way, "It turned out that A-dao Zhang came to the door the day before yesterday to study morality and being original, which also benefited a lot. Today, I think it’s more educated." He said, turning his attention to Mei Qing’s face and showing different colors. "This face has a good skeleton and can be called a first-class figure of earthly immortals! Is ….. Alas, I don’t know if it’s A-dao Zhang, the high brother of the gate. Why don’t you be original and introduce him? "
Mei Qing listened to the white saying that Zhang Qizheng was a "Taoist friend" and couldn’t help but take a look at Lao Zhang’s eyes, his stuffy words and his actions. How can he be a bit of a master? As soon as the white man saw himself, he buckled his hat and turned it over, which was really confusing.
However, Zhang Qizheng heard that Bai Daodao called himself a "Taoist friend", but he was so happy that he didn’t see the smiling face on weekdays and smiled. "How dare you be so patronizing Zhang? But it takes a lot of advice from the immortal to get into the threshold when you first hear about morality. This is a colleague of Zhang’s. His confidant’s surname is Mei Ming, Qing family, and he is especially good at discerning the ancient times. He is expected to see the Taoist scriptures the day before yesterday, and he once said that it is like a predecessor. Jane is Zhang’s clumsy eyes, so he invited Mr. Mei to be true and false
Mei Qing hurriedly upon Bai Daoren even said that he did not dare to invite Zhang and Mei to sit down, and another lane boy brought tea to three small white cups, half of which added a little elegance to the aroma of green tea.
The three men sat down for tea and said a few words: "I was just being original when I saw Mr. Mei’s couplet in the hall, but I still hope to give you some advice."
Mei Qing said, "Do you dare to see that this method is indifferent, ancient and extraordinary, or do you know that it is not clear?"
