Oh?
Li Er's Taiji Palace didn't have such treasures?
Si Chen wanted to see what was on the third tray that Xu Sanyou opened.
The red silk was lifted, and a pair of almost transparent wine cups appeared in front of him.
They were so pure and flawless, as if they were illusory objects that did not exist in the world. Under the firelight, they reflected a dazzling light!
"Hiss!"
Zhao Xin and the marquises gasped.
What a rare treasure!
Could it be that this item was used by the immortals in the heavens to hold the nectar?
When Si Chen saw this, he couldn't help but suck in a cold breath. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This was not a rare treasure. It was clearly a pair of short-legged glasses for drinking red wine. Only the gold foil and silver stamens inlaid on the surface of the glass were worth a little money.
"How much did Hall Master Ma spend for this pair of cups?”
Si Chen walked down the stone steps. His black cloak slowly dragged down the green stone steps.
Xu Sanyou replied proudly,"This pair of glass cups was the favorite item of that Persian merchant. He said that he wouldn't sell it for a thousand gold." Hall Master Ma threw in two thousand taels of gold and finally made the merchant part with it.
How can such a rare treasure be left in the barbarian countries? It should belong to the Great Tang and the colonel!”
He saw Si Chen walk down the steps after handing over the pair of glass cups. It was obvious that he was extremely satisfied with this treasure.
"Is General Si satisfied with this treasure?" I wonder if I can get the colonel's friendship for Zhongyi Hall?”
Si Chen picked up a glass cup and looked at it carefully. He sighed and said,"The treasure looks good, but unfortunately…"
"What's a pity?"
Xu Sanyou was puzzled.
60,000 strings of copper coins, three stunning virgins, Hu Yue Tower, top-grade jade, and this rare treasure, the Coloured Glass Cup. Could it be that this Travel Marshal Si was still not satisfied?
"Unfortunately, this brigade enforces the law for the public and is impartial. How can our determination to punish evil be shaken by these mortal things?”
"You treat it as a treasure, but this brigade treats it as dirt!”
"Pa!"
Si Chen gently released his fingers. The glass cup in his hand fell freely in an extremely beautiful posture.
It fell to the ground and shattered.
The transparent and flawless fragments and the flower stamens outlined by the silver threads splashed everywhere.
This fall not only broke Xu Sanyou's heart; Even Zhao Xin and the others felt their hearts ache when they saw this.
This was a rare treasure!
It was worth two thousand gold!
His colonel didn't even blink and broke one?
"Pa!"
Si Chen picked up the other one, raised it high, and gently released it.
The second one fell to the ground.
It shattered.
Xu Sanyou had yet to wake up from the shock of Si Chen breaking the first cup when the second cup shattered in front of him.
His mental state collapsed and he knelt on the ground with a thud. He desperately used his hands to sweep away the shattered pieces and said in a trembling voice,""This is a rare treasure from the heavens! How can you destroy it? What a waste of a treasure…"
"Haha."
Si Chen sneered,"Only fools like you would treat it as a treasure and use the gold of our Great Tang to exchange for it.”
Although this pair of glass cups were well baked and the craftsmanship was not bad, they were not even worth ten taels of gold!
Ma Renjie actually paid two thousand gold for it, allowing a large amount of gold to flow into the foreign country.
"I've long grasped the evidence of Ma Renjie and Zhongyi Palace. Tomorrow morning, I will go to Huaiyuan Square to arrest you! I didn't expect that you would walk right into my trap and even bribed my brigade. Men!”
Si Chen shouted softly. Zhao Xin and the ten Martial Marquises immediately strode forward and drew their sabers and staffs.
"Capture this person and all the servants and send them to the woodshed to be imprisoned!”
"Yes!"
A few Martial Marquises roared and went forward to grab the three trays, placing them on the stone steps. Then, he tied Xu Sanyou and a few servants who did not dare to resist with a rope and sent them to the firewood room.
The drivers of the fifteen carriages wanted to run, but the back door was closed. They had no way to escape, so they could only kneel and beg for mercy.
"Let them move the copper coins to the storeroom at the side. After they are done, let them go.”Si Chen instructed Zhao Xin.
Coachmen were insignificant and would take up space if locked up.
Then, Si Chen looked at the stunning triplets below the stone steps.
When the three women saw Si Chen suddenly turn hostile and grab someone, their delicate bodies trembled slightly.
"Where is your hometown? Are your parents still alive?”
Si Chen asked gently.
The ancients were too corrupt!
She was only fourteen years old, and she had not even grown up yet, yet…
Among the triplets, the one with a naturally cold expression, the eldest sister, replied weakly,"We sisters were sold to the Huan Building when we were young. We don't remember our parents 'appearance. We only know that we grew up in the Suzhou government.”
With that, the eldest sister lowered her head and stopped talking.
The gentle second sister didn't continue after seeing her eldest sister answer the question. She looked at Si Chen and said anxiously,"Old Master, we were trained as courtesans in Huan Brothel. My sister, sister, and I have never received any guests. Moreover, we are good at washing clothes, cooking, playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Please accept us, Master.”
As he spoke, he pulled his elder sister and younger sister and knelt down to kowtow.
His second sister was still smarter.
She knew that if Si Chen didn't take them in, they would either be taken in by the government and become official prostitutes. Or they would be sold back to Huan Lou and eventually have to receive customers in the future.
No matter what the outcome was, it would not be as good as serving this ridiculously handsome young colonel.
Although, he was a little scary.
Si Chen pondered for a moment and asked,"What are your names?"”
"My name is Snow Goose." the elder sister replied.
"My name is Yueya." Second Sister looked up.
"I…I'm called Lian Xiang!" The youngest girl blinked her bright and clear eyes and secretly sized up Si Chen.
"Alright." Si Chen nodded lightly." You three sisters will be my personal maids in the future."”
"Take the title deed and jade on the stone steps and follow me to the front.”
Si Chen walked to the front yard with his hands behind his back.
The three sisters cried tears of joy. They thanked him repeatedly and kowtowed three times on the ground. They stood up and took the title deed and jade before following Si Chen.
