Chapter 26 The Secret of the Golden hairpin

This is not a place to stay often. Just after Lizheng collected taxes, Qin Wei went on the market and bought a horse. That night, he came back and discussed with Linger to leave. If it hadn't been for the foreman's early payment of the New Year's wages today, how could it be so easy to relieve the siege? However, Qin Wei took action to beat the ruffians around Li Zheng. It is difficult to guarantee that no one has seen or will have seen his sea arrest documents. Once they sued the officials, it is even more difficult to get out. Fortunately, they chose only a small village at that time. There was no prosperous town here, and the news was relatively blocked. Looking at the safe appearance of the day, it should be relatively safe for the time being, but just in case, they still had to leave quickly.

In addition, Qin Wei told Linger the real reason why he was wanted that night. Linger sighed with emotion and felt pity for the person who had saved him several times in front of her. Qin Wei showed Linger the jade pendants and letters he carried with him. Linger asked, "Didn't you say that Mrs. Hua Yun told you not to trust anyone around you before she died? Why do you still show me these? Aren't you afraid that I will betray you like Zhou Ke?

Qin Wei looked at Linger calmly and replied, "I didn't figure out Mrs. Huayun's real intention until I was betrayed by Zhou Ke later. It turned out that I only said that she was a kind reminder, but it turned out to be something special. Unfortunately, it's too late to figure it out, and Zhou Ke still took the lead!"

"This Mrs. Huayun is so affectionate to you that she would rather sacrifice her life to protect you! It's really respectable and touching! You should listen to her. Don't trust anyone. Anyone can hurt you at any time!"

"But you are different, just because of the kindness that Master and Mrs. Su once gave you, you can choose to risk your life to save a child who has nothing to do with you from danger. This is not something anyone can do. It requires great courage and perseverance, as well as the support of a sense of justice! I believe in you and myself!"

"Did you say this to me to make me understand the truth of the matter? Let me help you? But what can I do for you?"

"In fact, you have helped me a lot. Without you, I couldn't have hidden the guards so easily. Without you, I couldn't have said that I had a family. So, I want to thank you a lot."

"If you hold the jade pendant and letters like this, aren't you afraid that one day they will really catch you and search these easily?"

This is exactly what I'm most worried about. So let's leave for Hangzhou tomorrow. I want to find a safe jade craftsman to create an identical fake jade pendant, and write another letter. But where can I put the real jade pendant and letter? After Kaifeng, we have to find a way to hand it over to the Holy King.

"Hangzhou? Do you think the next place we want to go is Hangzhou?

"What? Can't you go to Hangzhou?

"No, I suddenly remembered a person named Guo Bai, a famous goldsmith in the capital and a good friend of the master. This golden hairpin came from him and was designed and built by him. I once heard the master mention that Guo Baiyuan worked as a goldsmith in the capital. Later, because his mother was seriously ill, he was worried and returned to his hometown Hangzhou for several years.

"Oh? So, the goldsmith who made the gold hairpin may be in Hangzhou now?

"Yes."

"How is he?"

"I'm just a little girl. I've never met this friend of the master. But the master is the most upright person, gathering people in groups. I believe his friend should be no worse.

"Linger, can you lend me that golden hairpin?"

Although Linger didn't know what Qin Wei was going to do, she handed over the golden hairpin. The golden hairpin is thick and has a cup-shaped lining, and the shape is very unique. Qin Wei suddenly remembered something, took the jade pendant, and compared it to the cup-shaped decoration of the golden hairpin. Coincidentally, it was just right! God helps me!" Qin Wei immediately asked Linger for one thing. He borrowed the golden hairpin to use it. He wanted to find Guo Bai and reintegrate his secrets into the golden hairpin.

Linger agreed. Although she is just a little girl, she has a deep understanding of righteousness. She knows that Qin Wei's affairs are crucial to the survival of the whole Song Dynasty. And I don't want to sacrifice this golden hairpin, but just find the master's friends to rebuild it. If the master's wife is alive, she will definitely agree to do so.

Early the next morning, the two left Shaoxing's home with Man Xiu and embarked on the road to Hangzhou. Under the cover of Linger and Manxiu, as well as Qin Wei's careful dress, he also successfully entered Hangzhou, but he saw his own sea hunting documents pasted on the gate.

On the same day, Linger inquired about Guo Bai's whereabouts for Xiao Er. Because he was a famous local goldsmith, Xiao Er told Ling Er the address of Guo Baijin's store in detail.

So, Qin Wei took the golden hairpin to find Guo Bai alone. Guo Bai was shocked when he saw the golden hairpin. As a goldsmith, he naturally recognizes his own craftsmanship. Qin Wei conveyed what Linger said about Su Qi to Guo Bai. Guo Bai burst into tears after hearing this. Unexpectedly, such a big change had happened in such a short time and lamented repeatedly.

Seeing that he was affectionate and righteous, Qin Wei continued to say, "Today, I came to find Guo Jinjiang. In addition to informing Mr. Su of the changes in his family, there is also a ruthless invitation!"

"Oh? What does the strong man mean?"

"Can the goldsmith seal this jade pendant and letter in this golden hairpin?"

"Why did I do this?"

"This matter is very important, and it is inconvenient for me to explain it to the goldsmith. It's not that I don't believe Guo Jinjiang, but I'm afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to the Jinjiang, and it may even be a disaster of killing!"

Guo Bai was shocked when he heard this. What on earth would involve the disaster of killing?

"Guo Jinjiang only answers whether he can or can't. If you can, please do it. If not, I'll find someone else."

"Ha ha, does this strong man not believe in my ability? Come on, you saved Linger girl and the young master several times. Su Qi must be grateful in heaven before sending you to me. Am I Guo Bai the one who is afraid of life and death? Since you are the person who came out of the Shaanxi military camp, now you have appeared in Hangzhou and asked me to seal the jade pendant for you. There must be something difficult to say in it. OK, I won't ask. I helped this favor, but for the sake of my old friends!"

"Have you recognized who I am for a long time?"

"No, General Qin! I just recognized it too! Your sea arrest documents have been posted in Hangzhou for a long time, that is, you are looking for me today. If you were someone else, maybe what you have to deal with now is not how to put the jade pendant into the golden hairpin, but how to escape.

"Thank you!"

Qin Wei asked him if he was a familiar jade craftsman and needed to build an identical jade pendant. Guo Bai expected that there must be some secrets in the jade pendant, but since Qin Wei didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask. He personally went to find his good friend Yu Nan, the jade craftsman.

He didn't explain much to Yu Nan. Guo Bai just said that his friends were eager for a jade pendant with exactly the same style and pattern! Although Yu Nan has seen countless jade, when he saw this jade, he couldn't put it down and praised it repeatedly, saying that it must come from the hands of a master. Because it was asked by a friend, he immediately took a picture and went home to find a jade copy.

After Yu Nan left, Guo Bai also processed it overnight and rebuilt the golden hairpin. At this time, the golden hairpin was not only sandwiched with Ma Haiqing's letter to Hu Yong, but also filled with jade in the original hollow golden hairpin cup and covered with gold. Under Guo Bai's exquisite craftsmanship, no one can see the flaws of the golden hairpin.

The jade pendant took a lot of time, but the man's craftsmanship is so exquisite that he can actually use fakes. However, because of time constraints, what Yu man found was only an ordinary piece of jade, which was not as clear as the original crystal. In this way, Qin Wei successfully hid the jade pendant and letters. Returning to the inn with a golden hairpin and a fake jade pendant, Qin Wei asked Linger to borrow pen and ink, and copied a copy of the letter overnight. In fact, Qin Wei also knows that this is futile. Zhou Ke has a lot of research on calligraphy. As long as he reads it, he will definitely find flaws. However, now there are already own sea arrest documents in Hangzhou, and there are no familiar people. In case he finds someone to imitate his handwriting and loses a small loss, it will not worth it. I only hope that everything will be safe in front of Tokyo. Even if it is really found by Zhou Ke, I hope that he will only look at the envelope, because the envelope is the original, and it would be good to hide it from the world.
