Episode 1: Zhang Ping investigates Lan Jue’s theft of pearls
Lan Jue, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, has a private letter written to Nandong Kingdom in Hong Luo’s hands. If this letter is bought by Guo Yun, Lan Jue will be sentenced to death for collaborating with the enemy and treason, so he and his attendants set up a game. , hoping to get this secret letter before Guo Yun. Hong Luo is a profiteer from the Yueliang Kingdom who travels to and from various countries for intelligence transactions with the background of the royal family.
This time he brought this secret letter to Dafu City in the Yong Dynasty. Lan Jue in the restaurant arranged for a series of passers-by to search Hong Luo’s whole body with excuses, and found that the secret letter was in the beads on Hong Luo’s scorpion. Zhang Ping, a noodle vendor, had an argument with Hong Luo over the issue of tying the horse, which attracted Lan Jue’s attention. Lan Jue’s subordinates lured Hong Luo into the restaurant and arranged for the dancer to steal the secret letter, but Hong Luo was too vigilant and did not succeed. Lan Jue took advantage of Zhang Ping’s feud with Hong Luo to order some face to Zhang Ping in the name of Hong Luo, trying to stir up conflict between the two again.
Hong Luo stretched out his hand and knocked over Zhang Ping’s face, but when he came back to his senses, he found that the secret letter in his bead was gone. Hong Luo became furious and ordered people to seal off the inn until the beads were found. The owner of the restaurant knew that Zhang Ping had a talent for solving cases, so he asked him to help Hong Luo find the beads. Zhang Ping saw the scratches on the scorpion, the untouched food on the next table, and the fishy smell on the sleeves of the hidden diners. Zhang Ping understood that the dancer stole the beads with filaments and transferred them through diners to hide the beads. into the silver carp’s eyes. This reasoning won unanimous praise from the onlookers.
Zhang Ping went to the Chunguang Pavilion on the second floor of the restaurant to find the mastermind behind the scenes, but only saw a carriage going away. Zhang Ping is a scholar of Jinke. Because his family is poor, he can only make a living by selling noodles temporarily. At night, two scholars came to the noodle stall and laughed at him.
Lan Jue, who suddenly appeared at the noodle stall, refuted the two scholars and relieved Zhang Ping. Lan Jue heard that Zhang Ping was selling noodles to raise the cost of going to Beijing for the exam, so she invited Zhang Ping to come to her house to work as a bookkeeper, but Zhang Ping did not agree. Lan Jue came to test Zhang Ping’s identity this time, and found that Zhang Ping was not instigated to break the situation, but just a young man who loves to investigate cases, so he sent someone to continue to pay attention to Zhang Ping.
Zhang Ping thought of a suspicious point, went back to the restaurant, and found that the mastermind behind the scenes had tuned the tiger away from the mountain, and deliberately led Zhang Ping to Chunguang Pavilion, leading him to catch up with the departing carriage, but he escaped from his shell and remained in Feiyu Pavilion next door. .
Zhang Ping found a clue in the Feiyu Pavilion. The spring amomum in the teacup is a tribute for treating stomach diseases and should not appear in this small restaurant. This time, Lan Jue had no choice but to take advantage of Hong Luo’s lustful nature and arranged for a girl from Banyuelou to thank her at her birthday party three days later. Gong Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is about to retire. In order to compete for the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Guo Yun does not hesitate to use all means to get rid of Lan Jue. Lan Jue has no choice but to send Guo Yun away, hoping to get the secret letter first.
The noodle shop guy Chen Tiao thinks that Zhang Ping should seize the opportunity to please Lan Jue, but Zhang Ping is only here to find Mu Yesheng, the author of “Strange Night Talk”, and he is determined not to go to Dali Temple. Zhang Ping felt that Lan Jue’s sudden visit was strange, so he and Chen Cho came to Lan Jue’s mansion to steal medicine residues, but were discovered by guards.
Zhang Ping tried to find out if Lan Jue was suffering from stomach disease on the pretext of giving gifts to Lan Jue, and wanted to judge whether Lan Jue was behind the scenes, but Lan Jue denied it, and replaced Chun Amomum in advance to destroy the evidence. Zhang Ping found that the hooves of the horses he was chasing were stained with red paint, so he chased Lan Jue’s birthday party, and found evidence, concluding that Lan Jue was the mastermind behind that day.
At the birthday party, Lan Jue was discussed about his background by his colleagues present, and he sent his heart to his teacher Gong Shangshu. Although Gong Shangshu was moved, he refused to recommend him as the Minister of Rites. When Zhang Ping saw Lan Jue, he testified that Lan Jue was behind the scenes that day, but Lan Jue refused to admit it, so Zhang Ping wanted to find more convincing evidence to convince Lan Jue.
Lan Jue arranged for Xie Hao to steal Hong Luo’s beads and put them backstage, but he didn’t find the beads in the candles in the backstage, only a note. Xie Hao, who was dancing in the front yard, caught fire suddenly, and everyone ran away in fright.
