Cold, secretive, Kyoto prison.

Two middle-aged men forty miles away sat opposite each other, and there was no one around to watch.

Shangguan Qingyun, with a haggard face, slightly thin, good facial features, burly figure, although he wears torture instruments on his hands and feet, he still can't hide the extraordinary bearing between his eyebrows.

Shangguan Qingyun read poetry and books, and his father was the head of the internal guards of the first dynasty, so he was indispensable to teach him to practice martial arts and strengthen his body, so he learned literature and practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he even got the essentials, and at the age of twenty-five, he was able to explore flowers, not good for officialdom, plus he liked words and literature, and entered Hanlin at the age of thirty-two to edit and repair, which was deeply appreciated by the emperor.

He has a wide range of friends, all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and enjoys a high reputation among the literati and scholars.

After the death of the Ming Dynasty, because of his profound literary attainments, he enjoyed a good reputation in the capital and even the whole country, in order to block the mouth of the literati, the Qing court charged him to serve as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, but he was also safe.

How could he be in a hurry to avoid trouble, because of Zhang Jinyan's case, he was hooked and framed as a party in Zhang's case.

In fact, Zhang Jinyan only mentioned "the talent of the general" in the article, which was discovered by Shunzhi and sentenced to be decided, involving nearly 100 people.

In addition, those with ulterior motives use this as an excuse to suppress political opponents, and they use trumped-up charges to suppress their enemies.

Shangguan Qingyun knew that this time being imprisoned was not as simple as a literal prison, because too many things had happened these days, and he had basically sorted out the causes and consequences.

A few days ago, he drank and mentioned the secret matter of Linglong with his brother Xie Bo'an, but after waking up, he found that he had lost his words and regretted it, but Xie Bo'an has been friends for many years, is upright, and will definitely not betray his friends, but he can't think of other reasons.

Moreover, since the matter of Linglong has been revealed, it is impossible for him to get out of the whole body, it doesn't matter, what he is most worried about is his wife and two underage children. He must not let his family fall into a desperate situation, and he must do something.

Today he is going to start implementing the major event that he has been planning for a long time since he was imprisoned, and this major event is inseparable from his two in-laws.

Sitting in front of him was one of them, Meng Yiren, the squire of the Criminal Department, who was a member of the Meng Mansion, and his daughter was fifteen years old, and a year ago she made a marriage contract with Shangguan Hong, the son of Shangguan Qingyun.

Meng Yiren is richly dressed, has a refined temperament, is tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and eagle eyes, and is capable and shrewd, calm and sophisticated, but it makes people feel unapproachable.

Meng Yiren slowly spoke: "Brother Shangguan, I already know about your affairs, the emperor personally sentenced and decided, what I can do, I will be thoughtful with you and do my best."

Shangguan Qingyun looked at him: "Brother Meng, you and I have been friends for more than ten years, and there is a covenant between Qin and Jin, I only ask my brother to protect my wife and keep her safe, this is my greatest wish." ”

"This time, I know that it is difficult to escape, the reason is not the text prison, on the same day, Zhang Jinyan came to the house, I just helped him some entanglements, I didn't expect to suffer this catastrophe, but it is not only the text prison case, someone will be in danger of me."

Shangguan Qingyun paused, and then said: "I want to entrust you with this matter, first, you and I have intersected for several years, and I know very well that Brother Meng is a human being and a person who can be trusted; The second is that you and my children are in-laws, and the friendship is on a higher level, and I hope that Brother Meng will protect my son and become his marriage."

Meng Yiren nodded and said: "That's natural, I will definitely let the little girl marry Ling Lang, this point, Brother Shangguan can rest assured." ”

Shangguan Qingyun continued: "My father served as the head of the Great Inner Department in the previous dynasty, and he accompanied the king for more than ten years, and he was diligent and hardworking, and won the trust of the emperor. ”

"People only know that the first emperor hanged himself in a coal mountain, but they don't know why."

Meng Yiren nodded, his eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, his heart was full of anticipation and uneasiness, but he didn't interrupt, just listened quietly.

Shangguan Qingyun looked at him and said: "The first emperor had already foreseen that when the country would eventually be ruined, as early as the beginning of the Li and Zhang thieves, he hid most of the silver in the treasury in Jingshan and Miaofeng Mountain, so that future generations would take this as the foundation for the restoration of the country and the foundation for the country. The first emperor did not forget his wish on his deathbed, hanged himself in the coal mountain, watched the second mountain day and night, and looked at Kyoto. ”

Meng Yiren nodded, his fists clenched, and his eyes were tearful: "The first emperor has good intentions, and my generation is ashamed. ”

"Hmm", Shangguan Qingyun continued, "And the person in charge of this matter is the ancestor. When this was done, the Emperor ordered the killing of all those involved. Although it is unbearable, it is inevitable.

The first emperor will draw out the map, named Linglong map, in fact, the map of the treasure of the two mountains, wait for the first revelation of the heavens, take it as the foundation of the restoration of the country, but it backfired, the first emperor hanged himself, and then the Southern Ming Dynasty was defeated. This matter is known only to me, my father, and the eunuchs around the emperor. Recently, I have heard that this matter has been learned by the Holy God today, and he has ordered someone to investigate this matter thoroughly. ”

Brother Meng, when I enter this place, there will be no time to see the light of day, I will abide by this secret matter, wait for the opportunity to move, and must not hand it over to the imperial court, which will cut off the foundation of the first emperor's restoration of the country. ”

Shangguan Qingyun continued: "The Linglong Diagram treasure is hidden in Jingshan Mountain and Miaofeng Mountain, and there are five million taels of gold and silver inside. The Linglong diagram has many organs, and the crises are dense, and there are thirty-six organs inside, which are called the Tiangang Beidou Array. It is difficult to climb to the sky from entry to exit, and it can be said that there is no secret key, which is enough to make people die for a lifetime.

The essence of the key lies in the faucet. Remember, the key is tattooed on the faucet. ”

"Brother Shangguan rest assured, Brother Meng trusts, entrust me with this secret, righteousness and benevolence will be ruined, and I will never give up!" Meng Yiren said generously in a deep voice.

Shangguan Qingyun nodded: "However, the Nanming regime has overturned, there is no emperor in the world, but the treasure still needs to be carefully guarded, I have handed over this picture to my son Shangguan Hong, he only knows that when he gets married, he will tell Brother Meng where the Linglong Picture is, and I don't know anything else, Linglong Diagram will be used as a gift to Brother Meng when Hong'er and your daughter get married, not because the foolish brother does not trust Brother Meng, but to protect his wife and children, I have to do this." Please also Brother Meng Haihan".

After that, Shangguan Qingyun got up and bowed down, and Meng Yiren immediately got up and said: "Brother Shangguan doesn't need to say much, I believe that you will have a hard time, you and I have been friends for many years, and I have the good relationship of Qin and Jin, I will protect my brother and sister-in-law and nephew well!" However, Brother Shangguan, what should I do after you hand over the Linglong Diagram to me? ”

Shangguan Qingyun said slowly: "Brother Meng, don't take the exquisite treasure privately, just wait for the heavenly opportunity, if the people are not bitter, the Son of Heaven is virtuous, then everything is subdued, if the Son of Heaven is not virtuous, then order the heroes, based on this, overthrow the Qing court."

This is not an ordinary thing, and if it is done lightly, it will inevitably cause great turmoil, and even trap the people of Li in fire and water, and they themselves will be in a place of no return. So, don't leak this matter lightly, lest it lead to death! When he arrives, the exquisite picture will come out and the truth will be revealed. ”

After Meng Yiren left, he suddenly felt that his blood was full of blood, and he was afraid that whoever got such a shocking secret would not deal with it calmly, and Shangguan Qingyun seemed to be thinking about something.
