Early morning.[+new^^+

Lu Jinping sat leisurely on a lounge chair in the back garden. This was a chair he specially customized from modern society, which was not available in the Tang Dynasty.

The continuous snow has turned the whole world into a silver-white world. Even his pond has become a frozen mirror. But Lu Jinping still lies here leisurely because the sun is very bright today, and the winter sun shines on his body warmly, very comfortable. Although it is not enough to melt the ice and snow quickly, it is enough to make him feel warm.

After finding out that Qu Butcher's death penalty case was an unjust case last time, Lu Jinping received a reward from the emperor's imperial edict. Governor Feng was very happy about it and specially gave him a month off. Of course, including ten days of normal vacation during the Spring Festival. That gave him twenty days of rest.

So Lu Jinping was lying in the back garden to bask in the sun. The wind was bright and sunny. As the years approached, all the things for the holidays at home were already available. It was the result of the busyness of the pretty girl Ye Qingqing, which made Lu Jinping feel free and comfortable.

The big tree behind him was also covered with snowflakes, including the bird nest he and Ye Qingqing climbed up to the treetops and dug, which was still on the treetops. The bird eggs that Ye Qingqing was reluctant to take down were now able to hover in the air. Lu Jinping watched them fly happily in the cold wind.

However, this pleasant day did not last, because the gatekeeper of the inner house came hurriedly.

Lu Jinping sighed and turned his head to look at her: "Don't tell me if there is another case that needs me to go, I'm on vacation now!"

The doorman accompanied Xiao Fuli and said, "Sir, it's not a case, it's someone who came to visit you. However, it seems that there is something important to entrust you to handle, and bring a load of gifts."

Lu Jinping sighed again and said, "It seems that these people all know that I am waiting for money to redeem my old antique furniture, so they all use money to tempt me. There is really nothing we can do about it."

The doorman smiled and said, "That's right? It's because of your great ability. So many people come to ask you for your business."

When Lu Jinping heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This is true. In fact, it is also good to live a fulfilling life. Lu Jinping is not willing to be idle all day long and have something to do, especially things that only he can do. The sense of accomplishment is still very comfortable. What's more, there is money to make money.

So Lu Jinping came to the front hall and saw four people sitting in the hall. An old man and three young men, one of whom was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked dignified, but he didn't say anything. When Lu Jinping came in, he smiled together and stood up to salute.

After listening to the doorman's introduction, the old man smiled and said, "Sir, old man Zhang Yousheng, these three are my nephews."

A young man stared at the leopard's eyes and said angrily: "Who is your nephew? If you don't hand over the money, don't even think about letting us recognize you as your uncle."

The other two also echoed: "That's right, if Master Lu finds out this time that you really swallowed that treasure, we will fight you to the death!"

The old man said, "I did not swallow this treasure, I told the truth."

"Who else can you be there..." The three of them stood up and pointed at the old man and shouted loudly.

Lu Jinping frowned and said, "If you want to quarrel, you should change the place and not be with me."

When these people heard this, they shut up.

The old man Zhang Yousheng clasped his fists and said, "Judge. The three of them are too reckless. They are young people after all. They don't know the truth. This matter is a long story. Please listen to us patiently..."

Lu Jinping shook his head and said, "I don't want to listen to the story, and I don't have much patience to listen to you. What is the argument is short and clear, and I will explain it clearly in a few words."

Zhang Yousheng nodded quickly and agreed, "Okay, please make it clear. If the Lord can help us, we will definitely thank you very much. This load of silk is just a gift for the meeting." After that, he pointed to a load of brocade placed in the corner of the house and said with a smile.

Lu Jinping nodded expressionlessly, and did not speak. He lifted his robe and sat down on the couch, saying, "Please sit down, sit down and talk."

The four of them sat down separately, and the old man said, "This is the thing. More than 20 years ago, I followed their three fathers to join the army. Because of their similar personalities, they became Jinlan. They fought together and covered each other. During a battle, we accidentally got a treasure..."

As soon as he said this, the young man from Leopard Eye said, "What did you get it accidentally? My father said that when you were fighting against the Khitan, you killed one of their generals and seized the Khitan national treasures he guarded, but you dared not sell them. You wanted to hide them and sell them after the news passed, but they were swallowed up by you!"

Lu Jinping's eyes lit up: "Khitan national treasure?"

Zhang Yousheng blushed and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense!"

The young man with leopard eyes said angrily: "Who is talking nonsense? It's true! Moreover, if you don't tell the truth about this, how can you ask the Lord to help you find the treasure? Then the Lord will know sooner or later. It's better to tell the Lord now, so that it's more convenient for the Lord to find out this matter."

The other two young people also nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yousheng then smiled bitterly and nodded: "Well, you all said it, can you still hide it? At that time, we joined the army to fight against the Khitan. In a fierce battle, the four of us worked together to kill a Khitan general and found this treasure from him. I had been a friend in the jewelry business for several years before joining the army, so I was quite aware of the goods. I immediately recognized this thing very valuable, but I still told the three of them truthfully and did not hide it or not."

"After they learned that this was a priceless treasure, they proposed that the four of them divide it equally. Because before this, we four of us formed Jinlan, like brothers' biological brothers, and this time, the four of us joined forces to kill the fierce general and found this thing from him. But this is a spoil. According to military discipline, all spoils must be handed over and not embezzled, but of course we are unwilling to hand over the Khitan treasures that we had taken for life. Therefore, after discussion, we decided to hide the treasures first and sell them for money after the news of the wind."

The young man with leopard eyes had a very impatient temper and said, "It's a good thing that my father and the three of them believed in you, so they hid things with you. However, you not only embezzled the baby, but also killed my father, and their two fathers. How should we calculate this account?"

The old man Zhang Yousheng had always been laughing with him. When he heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "I have a friendship with you three fathers, and I have been together for life and death, fighting on the battlefield with bloody battles, and being like brothers. How could it be that possible to kill the lives of the three of them? You said this so inappropriately, and you didn't treat me as an elder. If you say this privately, I just think that you are young and have limited knowledge, so I will tolerate you. But you are still so nonsense in front of the Lord, so I'm not polite."

The young man with leopard eyes stood up, sneered with his hands behind his back, "What can you do if you are not polite? Do you want to do it? Look at your beard, I will give you three tricks."

Zhang Yousheng sneered and said, "What can you do if you can beat me? What can you do if you beat me to death? I said that thing was not in my hands, and we didn't dig it out and found it. Why did you insist that I swallow it? What a joke."

The young man with leopard eyes was ready to beat you and said, "I won't beat you to death. I will beat you all over the ground and will hit you until you tell the truth and hand over the buried treasure."

Zhang Yousheng said: "Don't think I'm afraid of you. If you really want to beat you, it's not certain who will beat you. However, I really can't bear to fight with you. After all, I'm a brother and I have become a brother of Jinlan. You are a junior, and I don't want to bully the young. So, before I came, I had already suggested discussing this matter with your mother. Let's find a master to find out the matter and solve it so as not to hurt their respective kindness. Your mother also agreed, and you three agreed at that time. Why are you going to use force in front of the Lord now?"

The young man with Leopard Eye seemed a little inappropriate when he heard this, and said angrily: "It's because you don't tell the truth. Yes, my mother has already told Master Lu to find out the matter. If this treasure is really not on you, I will kowtow to you and apologize to you and recognize you as the fourth uncle. But if Master Jue finds out that treasure is on you, you swallow it and you have to spit it out. No one of the pieces my father should have deserved! The same is true for the two of them. This was agreed at the beginning, and the letter brought by my father clearly stated this. The letter has been signed by the four of you, so don't deny it!"

Zhang Yongsheng smiled bitterly and said, "Of course this matter is true. How did we agree on it at the beginning? I will do it too. Unfortunately, this thing is really not on me, and I don't know where it is buried. How can I tell you? Besides, there were three of you fathers on the island at that time. I saw that Wang Shiduo's father was dead, and you also saw it, but the remaining two bodies were not found. They may still be alive and have dug up the treasure. They both knew the mountains and caves where the treasures were buried, so they could find the place where the treasures were. They have not shown up yet, so why don't you tell them?"

The girl kept silent. When she heard this, Liu Mei raised her eyebrows and said, "Uncle Fourth, did you say that wrongly accused my father of swallowing this treasure?"

Zhang Yousheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You misunderstood. I said it's just that there is a possibility. I don't have any evidence, so I won't say anything. Unlike some people who don't have any evidence, they insist that it's me. If I really find the baby, I won't run away? Why do you have to come back to you and tell your father about his possible murder."

The young man with leopard eyes rolled his eyes: "Who knows what your idea is!" (To be continued.)
