Chapter 701: God assists
Ignorance! Qu Huaiyun shook his head, "It must have been in Yi Mansion before, but after Yi Yanshan knew that Yi Yuanmin had a stroke, it means that the treasure map is no longer in Yi Mansion." β
"I know Yi Yanshan, even if he knows that his favorite grandson has been kidnapped, it is impossible for him to be angry, unless the treasure map is gone. Without the treasure map, Yi's career will not be so smooth. And Yi Yuanmin was tied up again, and he couldn't redeem it without a treasure map, which made Yi's hope even worse, so he had a stroke. β
Gu Chengyu nodded, this Qu Huaiyun analyzed it very accurately.
Yi Yanshan's stroke must be related to the theft of the treasure map, but Gu Chengyu will not feel guilty. This is called every man for his own master, and every man in his own duties.
"So that means Yi's treasure map is gone?" Lu Chen sneered, and when he said it, he was still going around in circles.
"Indeed! However, I think that the same group of people who stole the treasure maps of Yifu and Qufu should be the same. β
In fact, Qu Huaiyun was also guessing, but he could only make his expression look very sure now, after all, it was impossible for these two people to waste time listening to their own guesses.
"Oh? How so? Gu Chengyu smiled, this Qu Huaiyun is an old slippery head.
"Let's talk about the people of Qufu first, that person is holding a soft sword and has strong martial arts. I found out before that among a group of people from the capital, there was a leader who was very consistent with this person. And this person is the person sent by the Great Prince, so now the treasure map should be in the hands of the Great Prince. β
Qu Huaiyun didn't know if it was a group of people, he had to talk about him left and right, and first talk about what he had found out before.
"The Great Prince? What evidence do you have? Lu Chen hurriedly asked.
Qu Huaiyun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Chen had been attracted by this topic.
Gu Chengyu saw through Qu Huaiyun's tricks, but in fact, what Qu Huaiyun said now is all speculation.
Still, that's just right. Drawing Lu Chen's gaze to the eldest prince makes him less suspicious, isn't this just right?
This Qu patriarch is really a god assist!
"Yes! What evidence do you have that this was the work of the Great Prince? Gu Chengyu opened his mouth leisurely.
Qu Huaiyun smiled bitterly, "My lord! Where is the evidence for this? It was only when I had people pay close attention to the movements of those people, combined with what happened later, that I had an eyebrow on the trail of the treasure map. β
"Don't worry, as long as you follow this, you will definitely find the treasure map. All you need is a treasure map, and the evidence doesn't matter! β
I have to say that Qu Huaiyun's eloquence is good, but he thought that he could deceive Lu Chen and Gu Chengyu in this way, then he would be too naΓ―ve.
"Patriarch Qu! So, it's all your guess, and there's no basis for it. You're wasting our time for us. I think, let's let Master Liao in! Patriarch Qu had no sincerity at all. β
Lu Chen sighed, very dissatisfied with Qu Huaiyun's words.
Qu Huaiyun secretly scolded these two people in his heart, but they were even more difficult to deal with than those old and cunning people.
"What I just said is true, as long as you follow this check, you will definitely gain something. However, there is more to promotion than just a treasure map! β
Qu Huaiyun looked at the faces of the two of them, and saw that both of them were interested, so the big stone in his heart let go of some of them.
In fact, what he said just now was all nonsense, and his real purpose was to expose Liao Cheng's crimes.
That's right! He wanted to drag Liao Cheng into the water. Since Liao Cheng is unkind, then don't blame yourself for being unjust.
"The two adults must also know that I had a close relationship with Lord Liao before. What our Qu clan has committed, he Liao Cheng has not interfered less, and his benefits are no less than those of our Qu clan. I have a couple of ledgers with very detailed records. β
Qu Huaiyun couldn't help but be glad that he had left Liao Cheng's handle at the beginning, and he wanted to destroy those account books so as not to fall into the hands of others.
But in the end, he held back, and he didn't expect it to be useful one day.
"Do you think Liao Cheng will still wait for you to hand over the account book? I'm afraid that I have already thought of countermeasures to destroy the ledger, right? β
Gu Chengyu asked this, but he knew in his heart that Qu Huaiyun should have other preparations.
"Not bad! This official heard that Steward Qiu beside you betrayed you, and your account book has already been in Liao Cheng's hands. β
Lu Chenben was disdainful of Qu Huaiyun's words, and he smiled contemptuously.
But when he saw Qu Huaiyun's calm and relaxed appearance, he thought of something then, right?
"Steward Qiu? Yes, I do have a lot of trust in him. But can I guard against him? Anyone can betray you, so ah! People can only believe in themselves. β
Qu Huaiyun shook his head, he didn't care too much about Steward Qiu's betrayal.
Where can the next person be trusted? Secrets are naturally only known to oneself, and that is called secrets.
"I have another account book, and it is not only Liao Cheng's, but also other officials'."
Lu Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, and he and Gu Chengyi glanced at each other. I didn't expect to come to Hejian Mansion to have another harvest.
The vast surface of the river can be seen at a glance, and the river breeze passes through the gaps between the high mountains on both sides, making a whirring sound that is endless.
It was already early November, and a small fishing boat was swaying on the river not far from shore.
Gu Chengyu sat in the cabin, swaying from side to side with the boat. He admired the scenery of the river, but the cold river wind made him feel a little dizzy.
"Gross!"
An abrupt voice sounded, and Gu Chengyu reluctantly cast his gaze over.
"Lord Lu, are you? Can it still hold up? Gu Chengyu asked with a concerned expression.
Lu Chen wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, he turned to look at Gu Chengyu with a fake face, only to feel even more panicked in his heart.
"Why do we have to find this broken ship?"
Lu Chen sat on the side of the boat with a weak face, "Sizzle~"
Lu Chen clutched his chest, probably because the action just now had hit his chest, and his face was even paler than before.
"Are your wounds alright? It's not going to crack again, is it? Gu Chengyu looked at Lu Chen, who was a little weak, and frowned.
"Mingmo! Take the medicine for your trauma to Lord Lu. β
Mingmo originally sat in the stern of the boat, listening to his own adult's answer, although he was a little reluctant, he didn't dare to disobey Gu Chengyu's order.
took out a small porcelain vase from his arms and handed it to Lu Chen.
This is a wound medicine refined by adults themselves, and the medicinal materials used in it are precious! He spends his days saving.
Lu Chen didn't care about hypocrisy at this time, he took the porcelain vase and untied the clothes on his body.
"Lord Lu should know that we are lucky to be on this boat now. Otherwise, I might have to stay in the river to feed the fish now."
Gu Chengyu shook his head, this time, Lu Chen was too impatient.
As a result, those people and dogs jumped over the wall, they were chased and killed, and they were just fished up from the river by fishermen.
