"Master Gu! It's just the three of us here, and I don't need to pretend to be your little guy anymore. Since Patriarch Qu has news of the treasure map, then the official naturally wants to know about the situation. The real purpose of the emperor's sending this official, Lord Gu won't be unaware, right? ”

At this time, Lu Chen seemed extremely indifferent, and his performance in front of Gu Chengyu on weekdays was like two people.

Qu Huaiyun's gaze wandered between Gu Chengyu and Lu Chen, and he felt that Gu Chengyu's attitude towards Lu Chen was not as good as that of his master's subordinates.

Gu Chengyu chuckled, "Hehe! Since Lord Lu wants to listen, then stay! ”

He smiled, and it was fine! Anyway, the treasure map has already arrived, and Qu Huaiyun's words must have little to do with the treasure map.

Gu Chengyu suddenly had an idea, if Qu Huaiyun wanted to use the incriminating evidence of Liao Cheng he had collected to exchange the lives of his Qu clansmen.

Didn't he think about how to deal with Lu Chen after bringing the treasure map back?

Now is a good time, he feels that this Liao Cheng can't be a very honest and honest official. Just like Qu Huaiyun said, Liao Cheng must have done a lot of dirty things.

As long as there is evidence of Liao Cheng's guilt, when the imperial court sends someone down, maybe he can catch a big fish, this is a great achievement!

He didn't know if the emperor would announce the treasure map when he returned to the capital.

What if the emperor has other plans and doesn't announce it? If you want to upgrade his grade, you have to be famous, right?

If the emperor conceals the treasure map, then under what name will he be promoted?

Besides, there are some flaws in the treasure map, and the emperor may not be satisfied with what he brought back.

Then add one more Liao Cheng, no! Maybe there is more than one Liao Cheng, who should be able to make up for the emperor's dissatisfaction with him.

Lu Chen's connections in the officialdom are wider than his, and there may be officials of the same faction as him in this Hejian Mansion.

Gu Chengyu wanted to steal Liao Cheng's incriminating evidence before, but in this way, it would be inconvenient for him to come forward, and maybe the credit would have to be given to others.

Even if the emperor has the intention of pulling him, it is impossible for him to monopolize the credit.

Compared with handing it over to others and letting the family share more than half of their own credit, it is better to give some to Lu Chen.

He still knows a little about Lu Chen, although he is his own master, he is not a despicable villain in the end.

What's more, the officials of Hejian Province are not familiar with themselves, let alone trustworthy. Even if he wanted to make these incriminating evidence clear, it would inevitably take a lot of brains.

Besides, Xia Qing's old puppet is not easy to provoke, isn't it just to find a temporary alliance by pulling Lu Chen by himself?

As long as Lu Chen is pulled into the water, then this matter will inevitably become more than half.

Lu Chen has just stepped into officialdom, and it is the time when he needs political achievements. Even if it's difficult, then he doesn't need to worry.

Lu Chen would not let go of such an opportunity, even if he couldn't stand it, the Marquis Zhan Yuan's Mansion would naturally make a move.

At this moment, Gu Chengyu weighed the pros and cons of this matter and felt that it was absolutely feasible.

"Patriarch Qu, this is the second son of the Marquis Zhan Yuan's Mansion. The emperor ordered him to come and assist the official in bringing back the treasure map. What else do you have to explain, even if you say that Lord Lu and this official are here, as long as you tell the original text that you know, it can be regarded as atonement. ”

Gu Chengyu deliberately exposed Lu Chen's identity to Qu Huaiyun, just to reassure Qu Huaiyun.

After all, his strength alone is too weak, who doesn't know that he is from a farmer's family?

Qu Huaiyun felt that it was normal for him to have limited ability, and now calling out the name of the Marquis Zhan Yuan's Mansion should make Qu Huaiyun's worries go down a lot.

Sure enough, Qu Huaiyun's eyes lit up when he looked at Lu Chen.

He just felt that this Lord Gu was a little scheming, and he shouldn't be an ordinary person.

But now with the name of Marquis Zhan Yuan's Mansion, then the lives of his closest relatives may really be saved.

Looking at Qu Huaiyun's calculating eyes, Lu Chen's brows furrowed deeply.

How did he think that he should have been put in a position by Gu Chengyu.

This Gu Chengyu is really good at pulling tiger skins, and he even revealed his identity, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd.

"I have only one request, and I think the two adults should know it. I'm old, it's not a pity to die, so I won't talk about the concubine. But my two grandsons, I also asked the two adults to raise their noble hands and let them go. ”

Qu Huaiyun knew that he couldn't ask for too much, he was now a fish on someone else's chopping board, to be slaughtered.

Lu Chen's eyes narrowed, and he remembered that Qu Huaiyun's two grandsons were not very old, which was not a difficult matter.

"It depends on the sincerity of Patriarch Qu, as long as you satisfy us, then we will naturally consider your request."

Lu Chen came to Gu Chengyu's right hand and sat down, and poured himself a bowl of tea.

"So far, I naturally have nothing to hide, I just hope that the two adults will be the talk."

Qu Huaiyun decided to take a gamble, his requirements were not high.

He figured it out, if all the mistakes made by the Qu clan in the past were found out, then the careers of the other clansmen of the Qu clan would also come to an end, and maybe they would be punished more severely.

Where does he have room for bargaining now? It's better to say it obediently and let these two people deal with Liao Cheng.

Just to give Qu some time to breathe, if the eldest son still has a chance to turn over, then he has to wait until then, right?

"First of all, when I tied up Yi Yuanmin, I knew that the treasure map of Yi Mansion was still in Yi Mansion, and the treasure map that he had stolen earlier was fake. However, it is still not there, so it is difficult to say. ”

Qu Huaiyun looked at the two people sitting at the top and carefully observed their expressions.

When he saw Lu Chen's color change drastically, he thought that the person who stole the fake treasure map in Yifu that night must be Lu Chen.

It's just that Gu Chengyu's reaction was a little intriguing, and I saw Gu Chengyu smile slightly, and there was no surprised reaction.

He couldn't help but cry out in his heart, this person must have known for a long time.

Oh, yes! The emperor can send such a young official, which means that this person is definitely not an idle person.

It's ridiculous that they were stupid before, and they despised this person so much, who knew that they were simply playing with them in the palm of their hands.

"Are you saying that the treasure map that Yi Mansion lost earlier is a fake?"

Lu Chen put down the tea bowl, he handed over the treasure map yesterday, for fear of long nights and dreams.

I didn't expect the treasure map to be fake, but this time his face was really embarrassing.

The real treasure map was not in his hands, and he was fooled, even if he didn't blame him, he himself felt very shameless.

It would be even more of a joke if the one took the fake for the real thing.

Gu Chengyu glanced at Lu Chen suspiciously, Lu Chen hurriedly coughed lightly, and asked in disguise: "Cough!" So where is the real treasure map now? ”
