Chapter 2: Treasure
That Shen Zhuoying has been completely crazy by the wailing in the last few days, as long as she sees the jailer coming, she will pull the person and insist on going out.
The jailers are now avoiding Shen Zhuoying as if they were hiding from the plague.
Today, Dali Siqing wanted to interrogate the old lady of the Gu family, and the jailer came to summon her early in the morning, and the old lady had no expression on her face and followed out, but she was thinking about how to deal with it in her heart.
She was slightly surprised when she saw who Dali Siqing was.
She didn't expect that the presiding judge was him......
Xue Rang, the youngest Dali Siqing in the empire.
When he became the secretary of Dali Temple, he was only twenty-four years old and had just won the championship.
During the palace examination, a high-minded discussion of the laws of the empire fascinated the emperor and stunned him, and at the same time, he was also favored by Gu Heng, the prime minister at that time.
did not take the form that the champion should take - to go to the local experience, but directly stayed in the imperial capital.
Then there was an edict, airborne Dali Temple, and became the secretary of Dali Temple.
At the age of twenty-four, it is not a miracle to be in an empire full of talents. However, at the age of twenty-four, he became the supreme official of the Dali Temple, who was in charge of the trial of the imperial prison case, but the Dali Temple Qing was amazing.
At first, Xue Rang's position as the secretary of Dali Temple was not easy to do.
A group of old pedantics in Dali Temple gave him all kinds of bad things, and transferred the death case 20 years ago to him for trial, and the result was that they were very handy to deal with it.
Within a month, the case came to light, completely deterring that group of people, and they no longer dared to make a mistake in front of this young Dali Siqing.
And this Xue Rang and Prime Minister Gu Heng had a relationship before the palace test, and Gu Cheng praised him a lot.
On that day, Prime Minister Gu Cheng went out to patrol on the orders of the emperor, and happened to meet Xue Rang, who came to Beijing to take the exam.
The Prime Minister's Mansion suffered this catastrophe, and the Prime Minister's protΓ©gΓ© either fled in embarrassment and went incognito, or was implicated and became a ghost under the knife.
And when Xue Rangdian tried it, he found that the person of that day was not a squire at all, but the prime minister of the dynasty. After that, he looked for an opportunity to go to thank him, but as a new Dali Siqing, he was entangled in affairs, and he was never empty.
Jin Yiwei didn't find that Xue Rang was involved with Gu Heng when he investigated the case, so he could be regarded as having escaped.
Xue Rang has always insisted that if it weren't for Gu Heng's allocation that day, he would have been on the list, but he would never be the champion!
When he saw the old lady coming over, Xue Rang gave a look and asked the people around him to retreat, leaving only his henchmen.
Then he personally untied the old lady, and his henchmen also moved the chair with eyes and diligence.
The old lady didn't sit down, but just pushed and said, "The wife of the criminal official, the adults don't have to be like this. β
This Xue Rang, Prime Minister Gu Cheng has mentioned it in front of the old lady several times, saying that he is a rare talent in Northern Xia, and he appreciates him very much.
And the old lady also planned to marry her niece and granddaughter to Xue Rang, firstly, it shows that the prime minister values him, and secondly, it will also be a help for the prime minister in the court in the future.
Xue Rang leaned over, bowed respectfully, and said in a deep voice: "The old lady has suffered, and it is useless to go down to the official......"
The old lady stepped forward, helped her back, and said, "It's good that the adults are not implicated." β
Seeing the hot and cold state of the world, the voice after experiencing the rise and fall of the Gu Mansion is a little old, but it is still sonorous and powerful. "My Gu family will not be a traitor to everyone! That's all the old man has to say, and you don't have to interrogate, my lord. β
"Although the old man has little reading, I still understand the truth of 'the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die', and you don't feel embarrassed, adult, you just eat the emperor's salary and obey the emperor's orders. I don't think the head of the family will be blind. β
This word made Xue Rang deeply feel that this old lady was really not easy to mess with! actually laughed at herself for not reading much? When she was famous in Jinghua, she didn't know where to play!
He was so ashamed that he wanted to pick a crack and burrow into the ground. Lian explained: "Xia Guan didn't mean to......"
However, this was followed by a long sigh.
And then the silence was eerie.
After a long time, the old lady opened her slightly squinted eyes, which were still bright, and said, "Before the old man leaves Beijing with his family, I hope you can do me a favor." β
"You say." Xue Rang took a sip.
"Eight years ago, the head of the family was ordered by the first emperor to send an envoy to the Xiyi countries to unite against the Rong people. Do you know about this? The old lady's old face suddenly glowed, as if she remembered something beautiful.
Xue Rang had heard a little about this matter, and since then, Gu Heng's name has been known to the world.
didn't wait for Xue Rang to speak, so he said to himself: "When Emperor Wu recovered the thirteen states of Yandi, he issued an edict that 'the Rong clan will not be destroyed, and death will not be blinded!'" However, at that time, the Rong clan was powerful, and I fought in Great Xia for many years, and the people were miserable, and Emperor Wu had more than enough strength but not enough strength. The first emperor adhered to the teachings of Emperor Wu, and with the increasing prosperity of my Great Xia, he was even more determined to win the land of the Rong people! And the Rong people occupy the right time, place and people, how can they conquer it overnight? β
"The border was deeply affected by the Rong people, and the people lived in dire straits, and when Xiyi was divided into several small countries and had a bad relationship with the Rong people, the first emperor ordered the head of the family to send an envoy to the Xiyi countries to unite against the Rong. Under the joint attack, the Rong tribe became defeated and continued to flee north. β
"And when the Rong people fled, they left behind endless treasures. Xiyi was also very greedy for this, but just when they couldn't take their eyes off the treasure, the treasure disappeared......"
Xue Rang was surprised at first, and then he realized it in his chest.
"You guessed it right, this treasure is in the hands of the head of the family."
The old lady did not let go of the slight changes in Xue Rang's face, nodded, and continued: "However, the imperial capital at that time was in chaos, everyone was in danger, and there was a treacherous atmosphere everywhere. When the head of the family informed the emperor about the treasure, the first emperor gave the head of the family an edict. The content of the edict is that the Gu family has guarded the treasure for generations, and only at the moment of the country's survival can the treasure be taken out to save the country. Then the head of the family made a life and death contract with his heart's blood as a guide. β
After Xue Rang listened, he didn't speak, he was waiting for her next words.
The old lady let out a long sigh, "You go and send a message to the emperor, and say that I should know where the treasure is." β
Take the treasure in exchange for the life of your grandson.
There's no way around it.
The emperor took the Gu family, since it was a rebellion, he could destroy the nine clans.
However only exile.
Changing the capital crime to exile, the emperor must have dealt with the old guys in Zhongshu Province a lot in order to issue this edict.
And this move is to use this as coercion to coerce the Gu family to hand over the treasure.
It's just that this treasure, where did the emperor know about it?
β¦β¦ If you think about it, it's clear.
The contract of life and death is only trapped by Gu Heng's life and death, not the first emperor.
When the first emperor was dying, he must have informed the current saint of this matter.
The old lady sneered in her heart, the first emperor still didn't believe the head of the family.
Xue Rang bowed his head and said respectfully: "Please wait a while, the old lady, and the lower official will return to Your Majesty." β
Then he gave a look to the henchman beside him, "Send the old lady back." β
After the treasure is handed over, I hope that the Gu family can offset the merits and avoid this catastrophe. Thinking like this, Xue Rang immediately asked people to send the prepared recital directly to Emperor Tianzhu.
The old lady let out a long breath and returned to the prison.
Li Yuwei saw the old lady walk in with a solemn face, hurriedly greeted her, and looked at her worriedly, although she didn't say a word, but that kind of concern made the old lady feel very warm in her heart.
She patted her hand and smiled kindly: "Mother is fine, you have to take care of yourself......"
Then he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "And the baby in your belly, we may be able to get out soon." β
"......" Li Yuwei was slightly stunned, go out?
"Relax."
The old lady left her with an unfathomable smile, which made Li Yuwei even more of a monk - she couldn't touch her head.
However, Li Yuwei breathed a sigh of relief, she still knew her mother-in-law's ability.
Sure enough, as the old lady expected, she was invited back to the training room again the next day, but this time the person who "interrogated" her was the Emperor of Heaven.
The old lady wore heavy handcuffs and shackles, and saluted the Emperor of Heaven who was sitting on the throne, "The wife of the guilty minister greets the emperor." β
Emperor Tianzhu didn't have the heart to say more, and after the old lady finished the salute, she couldn't wait to say: "As long as you tell you where the treasure is hidden, I will spare your whole family from exile." β
The old lady was so shocked by such straightforward words that she was speechless for a while.
I've seen robbers, but I've never seen such a righteous robbery, and this person is still the Emperor of Heaven who grew up in the pile of money, which makes the old lady even more unacceptable. Still, isn't that the ending she wants?
Just when she was stunned, the Heavenly Emperor couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, walked down from the main seat, and stood in front of her.
A dark shadow completely enveloped the old lady, she was a little caught off guard, but she quickly came back to her senses and said calmly: "The courtier heard the head of the house say before that the treasure map has been hidden in the study, but it can be ......"
"Junko! Drive the Prime Minister's Mansion! β
As soon as Emperor Tianzhu heard that the treasure map was in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, his eyes lit up, as if the huge wealth was in front of him, and he was a little anxious.
The officials around him also knew that they couldn't stop the menacing Emperor Tianzhu at this time, so they could only let him go.
The old lady was completely stunned!
This is the situation of Shenma!
Why is the emperor so short of money?
There is a way that it is difficult to find a person's hidden things, let alone the person who is like Gu Chengxiang? Even the old lady was not very sure that she would be able to find it.
And the Emperor of Heaven went recklessly like this, most of the time he could only return in vain.
But in this way, his family will be able to go back soon, at least they won't have to stay in that dark prison for a long time.
The old lady quietly calculated in her heart where she would hide the vital treasure map if she were him.
Her eyes were closed, but her head was constantly moving, and she finally identified a few suspicious places. But......
In order to find out the evidence of his rebellion in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the entire mansion was turned upside down by the people of Dali Temple, and the Prime Minister's study inevitably became the top priority of the search.
I'm afraid that everything is no longer in its original place, and I don't know what the study has been destroyed.
Thinking of this, the old lady sighed deeply, what can be held after prosperity?
Can't hold anything!
What glory was the Gu Mansion in the past?
is that the third-class maids in the mansion are much older than ordinary Beijing officials, not to mention local officials.
There is a saying that goes, "The place of yearning in the world, Kyoto Gu Xiangfu." β
It is conceivable that the Prime Minister's Mansion has the status in the eyes of the world.
However, they all ignored one point, which was the most taboo for the emperor. What's more, he is the Heavenly Emperor who is suspected of advanced cancer.
Can you let others sleep soundly on the side of the couch? That person is still the powerful Prime Minister Gu Cheng who has the power of an auxiliary country!
Sure enough, the Son of Heaven was furious, ambushed millions of corpses, and the blood flowed thousands of miles.
The price paid by the Gu family is that the head of the Gu family has not been cold so far, and he has not been able to look at it. The sons of the in-laws, Gu Qing and Gu Che, are unknown in their lives and deaths.
The old lady had just swallowed the tears that were about to burst the embankment, and the Emperor of Heaven came back with a group of people.
