A League of Nobleman 君子盟 Episode 1

Hong Luo, a merchant from Yueliang Kingdom, entered Anlefang, Ancheng, Great Yongning, to trade, but in fact, he used the background of the royal family to travel between countries to collect information on trafficking. Lan Jue, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, wrote the secret letter to Nantong Kingdom, and Hong Luo got it. Lan Jue was worried that Guo Yun would buy the letter from Hong Luo, and he would be accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, which would be an indefinite death penalty. Lan Jue arranged for his subordinates to get the letter before Guo Yun, but his subordinates tested Hong Luo and found that the letter was hidden in the bead of the 蹀躞.

Zhang Ping, a simple and honest man who likes to reason and investigate cases, makes a temporary living in the noodle business in Ning'an City. Hong Luo enters a restaurant and fastens a horse in front of Zhang Ping's noodle shop, and the two quarrel. Hong Luo was too vigilant after entering the restaurant, and it was inconvenient for Lan Jue's subordinates to get the beads. Lan Jue sent someone to Zhang Ping's noodle restaurant to order a bowl of noodles and deliver them to Hong Luo's table. Luo started to argue again, and during this time, Lan Jue's subordinates stole the beads.

Hong Luo finds out that the beads are missing, so he controls Zhang Ping and orders someone to search the restaurant. Seeing this, the shopkeeper simply suggests that Zhang Ping help investigate who stole the beads, because he knows that Zhang Ping likes to reason and investigate cases. Zhang Ping recalled the previous details and speculated that he was being used. Then Zhang Ping checked the scene one by one, and found that the dancers and diners in the restaurant cooperated with each other and hid the beads at the eyeballs of silver carp in the restaurant. Zhang Ping inquired and learned that this dish was ordered by the guests in Chunguang Pavilion on the second floor, and learned that the person who arranged to steal the beads was on the second floor. Lan Jue witnessed Zhang Ping's investigation process, and hurriedly left the restaurant with his subordinates.

Zhang Ping witnessed the suspect leaving in a carriage. Relying on his knowledge of Ning'an City, he took a shortcut to intercept the carriage, but in the end he failed to catch up with the carriage. Hong Luo thanked Zhang Ping for his help today, but Zhang Ping only asked him for the money for the smashed bowl, nothing else. Zhang Ping walked back to the noodle stall in disappointment. His good friend Chen Cho was complaining that Zhang Ping’s noodle stall didn’t make much money today, and the students passing by satirized Zhang Ping for selling noodles on the street. It is believed that scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce are the foundation of the country, and there is no distinction between high and low. Lan Jue's identity and words made the passing students feel ashamed to slander Zhang Ping, so they had to leave one after another.

Chen Thou dragged his friend Zhang Ping to meet Lan Jue, but Zhang Ping was not enthusiastic about Lan Jue, and Lan Jue's questions were answered by him in one sentence. Lan Jue learned that his family depended on noodle stalls for their livelihood, and also saw that he was an orphan, so she wanted to recommend him to be a bookkeeper at home, but Zhang Ping only wanted to go to Dali Temple to investigate cases, so he would rather sell noodles than be a bookkeeper. When Zhang Ping was cleaning up the noodle stall, he noticed the details that were missed in today's investigation. He speculated that someone Jin Chan escaped his shell and deliberately led him to the pre-arranged Chunguang Pavilion next door, and this person must be of high status.

Today's act of stealing the beads has already alarmed the snake, and Lan Jue is going to take advantage of Hong Luo's lustful nature and arrange for Miss Xie Hao from Banyuelou to do it. The reason why Guo Yun wanted to put Lan Jue to death was mainly to compete for the position of Minister of Rites, but Lan Jue felt that if he got this handle, he would never be soft on the enemy. Chen Thou felt sorry for Zhang Ping's refusal to be Lan Jue's disciple, but Zhang Ping bluntly said that he came to the capital for the exam because of Dali Temple, and more importantly, to find Mu Yesheng, the detective whom he admired. But Chen Cho thought that this person might not be in Dali Temple. Zhang Ping said that the "Strange Night Talk" written by Mu Yesheng was so real, this person must be in Dali Temple, at least he would have stayed in Dali Temple.

Zhang Ping thought that the people who used him in the restaurant had drunk Chun Amomum, this tea is often drunk by people with stomach problems. Lenovo Lan Jue deliberately approached him, and he asked Chen Cho to help investigate whether Lan Jue had stomach problems. The two sneaked into Lan Mansion to look for Chun Amomum medicinal residues, but they were discovered by accident. Zhang Ping and Chen Tiao were brought in front of Lan Jue. Chen Thou made every possible excuse for himself to come to Lan Mansion. Lan Jue put Yanshan ginger into the tea in front of Zhang Ping. Stomach disease, but Lan Jue said that Yanshan Jiang and Chun Amomum are similar in shape but have subtle differences. Chun Amomum treats stomach diseases, and Yanshan Jiang is just a spice to enhance the taste. Lan Jue even denies that she has stomach problems. Seeing that there was no evidence, and Lan Jue did not pursue the crime of breaking into the house, Zhang Ping and Chen Tiao hurriedly left.

Three days later, Chen Thou learned that Lan Jue had set up a birthday party in Banyue Building, and planned to take Zhang Ping there to give gifts and make amends for breaking into the house. Originally, Zhang Ping had no intention of going there, but unexpectedly remembered that the carriage had stepped on red paint when he was chasing the carriage that day. He went to the Banyue Tower to secretly check Lan Jue's horseshoe, and verified that the person behind the scenes was indeed Lan Jue.

Lan Jue set up a birthday banquet in the Banyue Building, and Gong Songming, Minister of Rites, came to the banquet. Lan Jue prepared porridge and side dishes for the teacher, including rouge rice porridge from Guangling, Gong Songming's hometown, and collected handprints of newborn babies after the disaster in Zichuan. send him off. Although Gong Songming knew Lan Jue's intentions, he said that he would not recommend Lan Jue as the new Minister of Rites. Zhang Ping found Lan Jue in Banyue Tower, and pointed out that he was the one who stole the beads that day. He just wanted to know the truth and get back the money he lost. Lan Jue did not admit that he was the one who stole the beads, but Zhang Ping said that he would continue to look for evidence.

Zhang Ping saw Hong Luo again in Banyue Tower, and then saw Lan Jue going to the backstage of the stage. He suspected that Lan Jue and Xie Hao stole Hong Luo's beads again. Lan Jue went to the backstage to find the note, and found that someone had taken the beads before him, and left a message that he would be informed of the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason when he was born today. At this time, the stage changed. Miss Xie Hao, who was performing the dance, set herself on fire on the stage, and then there were words on both sides: "If the puppet does evil, its owner should be punished; if the dog official is here, I will die."
