Duanwu and Wei Si would ride a carriage together to buy treasures. Riding a carriage for the first time, Duanwu found it very novel. Wei Sihui suddenly complained that she had abdominal pain and asked Duanwu to discuss business alone. She said that the box in her hand was filled with gold bars, which was enough to buy the other party's jewelry.
Finally meeting the jewelry seller, Duanwu offered to buy all the jewelry, but when she showed the deposit, she discovered that there were some pebbles in the box. Danwu broke out in a cold sweat and his brain was running rapidly. Duanwu immediately asked N Haifan merchant Schneaway for cooperation. They could make the most gorgeous hairpins and decorate them with N Haifan merchant's pearls. The price would definitely double. The merchant The most important thing is profit, not to mention that the price of pearl hairpins is much higher than the price of raw materials. N Haifan merchant proposed to bring the finished pearl hairpins tomorrow. If he is satisfied, all the pearls will be given to Yan Zijing.
When Dragon Boat Festival returned to the fleet, Wei Sihui was tied to a wooden pillar and tortured. Yan Zijing had found evidence of an affair with Cui Jiu in Wei Sihui's room. Cui Jiu gave Wei Sihui a large number of house deeds and land deeds. Yan Zijing announced in public that Wei Sihui would be sentenced to death. Duanwu stood in front of Wei Sihui and tried to plead for mercy. However, Zhang Jinran also came forward to remind Yan Zijing that he should not deal with people in private. Yan Zijing gave Zhang Jinran face and asked Wei Sihui to throw him into the sea.
The people around him had dispersed. Duanwu held the box containing the pebbles during the day and asked Yan Zijing if he had already encountered today's result. Yan Zijing nodded to confirm, and Duan Wu's eyes immediately turned red. He was once glad that he was following the right person, but he didn't expect it to be the same. Treat them like chess pieces.
Xiao Xiami, Duanwu's younger brother, was tortured so hard that his back was scarred and he couldn't move. Duanwu felt very distressed when he saw the injury on his younger brother's back, but Xiao Xiami comforted Duanwu not to bear grudges against Cao Tou and the others. Now that the opponent was so powerful, it was impossible for people like them to fight against him.
On the next day, Duanwu brought the pearl hairpins he made to N Haifan merchant. N Haifan merchant was very satisfied. He originally wanted to do business with Yan Zijing, but Cui Shijiu also brought several styles of jewelry. After all, Cui Shijiu is an official and businessman, and he usually has tributes specially given to the palace, and the exquisiteness of his jewelry is much more exquisite than that of the Dragon Boat Festival. In order to win these jewels, Cui Jiu increased the price by 20% and also paid 500 gold as a deposit. Yan Zijing couldn't afford such a high price, so Duanwu decisively stopped. Before leaving, she whispered to Cui Jiu, be careful not to sell it for such a high price in the end, and you would lose everything.
Late at night, Wei Sihui had just climbed ashore when his neck was wiped by the sword in Yan Zijing's hand. Yan Zijing acted decisively, but he still let people in the dark see him. The next day, Wei Sihui's body appeared on the ship. Xu Nanying offered a high reward for clues. Someone reported Yan Zijing, and Xu Nanying tied Yan Zijing away at that time.
The plot changed so quickly that Duan Wu found it unbelievable. Yan Zijing had always done things carefully and carefully, how could he leave evidence behind, and what would happen next if he was kidnapped by officials.
Yan Zijing's confidant Kang Ju called Duanwu to the room, handed her the blood beads, and reminded her that she can leave now. Duanwu was surprised when Yan Zijing had just been arrested and gave him the blood bead. Moreover, Duan Wu had not given Yan Zijing the three hundred gold they had agreed upon before. Kang Ju reminded Duan Wu to leave as soon as he got his things and not to get involved in this dispute, but Duan Wu was not in a hurry to leave.
The government searched the fleet's treasures and saw boxes of jewels being moved out one after another. Duanwu came up with a plan and deliberately let Pang Zhizhang hear that there were some treasures in Yan Zijing's room. Late at night, Pang Zhengzhang took Cao Da with him to steal, but was caught by Kang Ju. Internal theft was a taboo. Kang Ju tied the two people to the deck, and Duanwu whipped them with a whip while Zhang Jinran watched. When Duan Wu, who looks weak in appearance, can even hit people with a whip, he laments that she has become as cold-blooded as Yan Zijing.
