Chapter 326 Frightened
"Let me take a look."

The official did not rush to open the package, but first held it in his hands to feel the weight and touch.

Lightweight and soft to the touch.

It looks like a scroll or a book.

Could it be a rare, single copy?

It is very likely that there have always been many rare copies circulating among the people, some of which have been carefully collected and regarded as family heirlooms.

However, when the family fell into poverty in later generations, they had no choice but to exchange this thing for gold, silver and other valuables.

After all, how can money be as real as something that can neither be eaten nor used?

What is a priceless treasure in the eyes of people like Yuanwai is a "priceless" treasure in the eyes of people in financial difficulties, a "priceless" treasure that is worthless.

Many of the treasures stored in the official's mansion were collected in this way.

Some people like to pick up bargains and like to buy priceless items at extremely low prices.

It is different for Yuanwai. After confirming that the treasure is genuine, he will buy it at a suitable price.

I won't mistreat others, but I won't let myself suffer either.

The reason is that the official believes that this is a respect for the treasure, and buying the treasure at a very low price is a slander against it.

Because of his good reputation, many people who were in financial difficulties and wanted to exchange their treasures for money came to him, allowing him to collect many truly rare items.

There are indeed a few pieces that can be called unique and rare, and each one is a deadly thing.

These are items that people who know the value of them are willing to risk their lives for.

So can this treasure in front of us be called unique?
The official slowly opened the package. As the contents inside gradually came into view, his heartbeat quickened and he became more excited.

However, contrary to his expectations, what was contained in the package was neither a scroll nor a unique copy, but a piece of clothing.

A beautifully crafted garment.

Unfortunately, this is obviously a contemporary item. Perhaps it was made not long ago and has not even been worn many times. It cannot be any newer.

Can something like this be called a unique treasure?
Isn't this just a joke?

This made the official feel deeply disappointed and at the same time angry that he had been fooled.

The servant didn't know how to identify cultural relics and treasures, but he knew the master.

Therefore, when he saw the expression on the official's face, he immediately realized that he had been deceived, and said indignantly: "That damn boy actually dared to deceive me! I'm going to find him now!"

The official sighed and said, "It's no use looking for it now. Since the other party dared to cheat, I'm afraid he has already disappeared without a trace. How much did you pay for this dress?"

"This……"

The servant hesitated for a moment and said embarrassedly, "Reporting to the master. I... I didn't spend any money."

"You didn't spend any money? They gave it to you for free?"

How is this possible? Giving away a piece of clothing for free without asking for money doesn't seem like something a scammer would do. Could it be that someone was deliberately trying to trick him?
That shouldn't be the case. He has always been kind to others and seldom makes enemies. No one would be so bored as to deliberately tease him in this way.

The servant said, "This... the other party not only gave it to you for free, but also paid for it, saying that this thing will definitely satisfy you. If you are not satisfied, he will give me double the money as compensation."

The official had known about the bribery for a long time and turned a blind eye to it.

The servant boy was very discerning and knew when to act. Even if he asked for money, he would not charge too much so as not to cause the disgust of the master.

The situation at this moment is puzzling.

I had to pay money to give him the treasure. I had never encountered such a thing before!
The other party also vowed to satisfy him.

Could it be that this treasure really has some special features that he has not discovered?

With this in mind, the official opened the package and carefully examined the dress in front of him. Not only was the workmanship excellent, but the interesting thing was that there was not even a needle hole visible on the dress. It was obvious that someone had used superb skills to hide the traces of needlework and other traces very tightly, making the whole dress look seamless, just like the legendary heavenly clothes, which did not need needlework to sew, but was made naturally.

Few people in the world possess such exquisite skills.

The person who can wear this kind of clothes is definitely not an ordinary person.

I'm afraid he is either a high-ranking official or a royal relative.

In addition to the technique, the material used for this dress is also extremely fine. The satin is as soft as clouds in the sky, and feels cool and smooth in the hands, like drizzle falling in the palm of your hand.

After turning it a few more times, a look of shock appeared on the official's face.

It's the color!
This dress actually uses the bright yellow color that only the royal family can use!

This is simply rebellion!

Someone must have wanted to harm him, so that’s why they put this piece of clothing into his hands!
Who is it? Who wants him dead so badly?
The man's mind was spinning wildly, one name after another flashed through his mind, but he instantly rejected them.

At the same time, his hands did not stop moving and he continued to flip through the clothes.

Soon, he spotted a familiar sign.

A golden dragon surrounds a bright red word, "特".

Isn't that the mark of a top chef?
Thinking of this, the official lifted up the clothes and took a closer look. Apart from the fine workmanship and the unique color, this was exactly the uniform of a top chef!

Wait a minute!
Is it possible...

The official suddenly remembered a rumor he had heard before. There was once a chef who cured a terminally ill imperial envoy with his superb cooking skills. As a result, he was favored by the emperor and given golden brocade clothes to show his great favor.

And this golden brocade robe represents the emperor.

This...how did this thing appear here and be held in his hand?

The official's breathing suddenly stopped, his hands were shaking so badly, and he almost passed out from fright!

When the servant saw this scene, he hurried over to help the master calm down.

He thought to himself, how come the young man really got it right? The man was so happy that he almost fainted.

It is true that I was out of breath, but I wasn't very happy, I was more scared.

After he recovered, the official asked hurriedly, "Is the person who brought this dress still here?"

"They should still be there. Sir, do you need me to chase them away?"

"Drive away?"

The official jumped up from his stool in a hurry and said, "You little servant, why don't you follow me out to greet him!"

Outside the mansion, after listening to Xu Qing's explanation, Chef Tang looked at him in disbelief and stammered, "You...you actually gave the golden brocade clothes bestowed by the emperor to the official? You...this is a matter that could cost you your head!"

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Chef Tang, it's not that serious. If the master knew the origin of the clothes, he would definitely not want them. I just want to use this as an opportunity to meet the master. After all, the master always avoids us, and it's not easy to meet him."

Hearing Xu Qing's calm words, Chef Tang felt his heart pounding and he was very panicked.

Just to see someone, he would do such a thing.

Xu Qing is such a dangerous person!

The official who came in a hurry almost choked when he heard the conversation between Xu Qing and Chef Tang.

I guess I don’t have to use this method!

This was not a meeting at all, it was more like walking through the gates of hell.
