Just when the people of the capital were worried about smallpox, the matter of Pingzhou's treasure was quietly revealed.

In Yan Kaizhi's words, as soon as Hongyi received the news, he smashed a pair of luminous cups one after another. When Shaohua heard this, he felt very confused, so he asked curiously, why did he smash a pair, is there any Taoism in it, or what deep meaning is contained in it. Yan Kaizhi stiffened his face and turned his head to look at her, like a good student who was serious and studious, he should not be angry or laugh for a while.

Shaohua looked at him with an innocent and puzzled expression, "Isn't it?" Even if the second master has a lot of cups, just smash one, why do you have to smash a pair, what a waste. ”

Yan Kaizhi shook his head helplessly, the originally solemn and serious atmosphere was interrupted by her, and it became a joke, "The Xu family really stabbed the hornet's nest this time, and the second master is angry." ”

Yan Kaizhi told Shaohua what the Xu family had done in Pingzhou over the years, and her eyes were as wide as cowbells, and she couldn't vent her anger even if she threw a few pairs of cups in a straight way. Those who bully the people and dominate the market are all trivial, colluding with the squires, bribing the imperial history, robbing the official silver, occupying the mountain as the king, and even secretly collecting some nearby towns under their names, and collecting all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. The reason why the famous Huaicheng bandits were so smooth back then was not because the He family helped, but because these bandits were originally instructed by the Xu family, and many of them had already withdrawn when they learned of their arrival. If it weren't for Yan Kaizhi's preparations, the soldiers were divided into two ways to confuse the public, and I am afraid they would not even be able to touch the skin.

Hongyi is not the first emperor in the end, he knows far more about Pingzhou than the first emperor. It's not that the first emperor was confused, it's just that the first emperor's eyes were staring at Doro, and he had no time to take care of what was behind him, and it also gave these people the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Hongyi knew that the water in Pingzhou was very deep, and now he took the opportunity of the treasure and the crab array to touch it, but he didn't expect that the water was deep and mixed, if it was uprooted all at once, I was afraid that half of the officials in Tai would have to fall into the water.

It's no wonder that the Xu family never wanted to enter Beijing, in Pingzhou, they were completely the emperors of the soil, relying on the marriage with the He family, and the He family had a strong backing, and it was difficult to say that the merchants were excluded. Therefore, Hongyi was first angry at the Xu family's actions, and then involved too many things, and his anger could not be eradicated in one fell swoop.

"So, the treasure map was fabricated by the merchant?" Shaohua looked a little disappointed, thinking that there was really such a thing as a treasure.

"No, there is a treasure, but it is not gold or silver jewelry." Yan Kaizhi's tone became low and solemn, as if he was revealing some heavenly opportunity, but Shaohua didn't care, "What kind of treasure is no gold, silver and jewelry." ”

Even the most precious collection of famous artists of the former dynasty cannot be compared to the mountains of gold, although this metaphor is vulgar, but it also just shows that everything has a price.

Yan Kaizhi saw that Shaohua didn't know, and he didn't want to say more, but vaguely explained that there was a lone book in the previous dynasty, which involved the imperial art of Quanxue. It's a pity that in the early days of the founding of the country, I didn't know where it was left, and I always thought that it was burned to ashes with the palace fire, but I didn't expect it to be Uncle Xiao.

In fact, this kind of thing is very taboo no matter who it is, although it is just a bunch of black and white words. It's okay that no one knows, but once the news leaks, then there will be no argument and guilt. But this is indeed in the hands of Mrs. Xuan, and after such a long time, there is nowhere to find it.

Yan Kaizhi was a little worried, probably Hongyi's mind was all on that ancient book now.

It is said that there are demons in the book, and once the mind is unsettled, the soul will be devoured and obsessed all day long. Emperor Taizu led the twenty-two marshals to expel the Answer Army, seized the position of Zhenzong, and established Daqing. The original army was severely defeated, and soon after, infighting broke out and divided into three tribes, the most powerful of which was Doro. The Luo Bu tribe simply gave up the struggle for power, led the tribe to live on the White Mountain, and voluntarily attached to the wings of Daqing. And the remaining Yunyue clan was excluded by Doro, and there was no border with Daqing at all, and gradually lost contact.

Not many people know about this book, even the previous dynasty has been hiding in the palace, and no one knows who wrote it, let alone when it appeared, so no one can say the name of the book so far. I heard that the ancestor of the previous dynasty got this book and won the world, but then I didn't hear anyone mention it again, and it didn't appear until the time of Renzong in the former dynasty. According to historical records, Renzong got this book, as if he had met late. After that, he immersed himself in it day and night, ignoring the government all day long, and still held the scroll in his hand until the day of his death.

It stands to reason that this book should have been buried with it, but Xingzong, who succeeded to the throne, felt that there was a suspicion in it, so he deliberately kept it. But if Xingzong Quanxia knew that only two generations of kings had died since him, he probably burned the book with his own hands. It's a pity that the history books are vague and vague, and no one knows what the book looks like and what is written in it, only listening to the old man in the palace preaching: This book is extremely evil, as long as you have a desire in your heart, the book will have different contents.

Although Yan Kaizhi does not believe that there is such a heretical crooked way, some things are different from person to person, Gaozu won the world because of books, and Zhenzong lost the country because of books, which may be a kind of cause and effect, but it also shows that it is different because of people's hearts. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried about Hongyi, now that the royal family is full of blood, Doro is ready to move, and then there are wolf ambitions like the Xu family, Yan Kaizhi has to worry that he will repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty.

Shaohua saw that one of Yan Kai was deep in thought, and gently nudged him, revealing a worried expression. Yan Kaizhi didn't expect that he had been distracted for so long, so he coughed a little embarrassed and turned his face away. Shaohua saw that he didn't want to mention it, so he changed the subject: "Is it the tomb of Mrs. Xuan?" ”

Yan Kaizhi shook his head, "It can only be said that it is a well-dressed mound, and even the merchant doesn't know where Mrs. Suan is buried." ”

Shaohua said in surprise: "Why don't you even know about the merchants, didn't you say that you died of illness in Pingzhou?" ”

Yan Kaizhi nodded, his expression was very serious, "According to the merchants, the merchants wanted to record their concubines in the name of Mrs. Qianjun, but they were refused, and even made a big fuss, and almost wrote a letter of resignation. ”

Shaohua was frightened by this woman with a strong temperament, and not only asked, "Who wrote the letter of resignation?" It won't be Mrs. Suan. "Although Madame Suan is not a princess, with her identity, even if she separates, the merchant will be punished. Not to mention Mrs. Xuan's family background, how could the merchant be stupid enough to give up this family. "And then, the merchant must not agree."

Yan Kaizhi chuckled lightly and acquiesced in her words, "The merchant naturally won't agree, so Mrs. Xuanjun has no children under her name, and her remaining dowry is missing." This is also the reason why the treasure map attracted the attention of Xu He's family. "If it is really the dowry of Mrs. Suan, it must be a lot of wealth. And since she has no children and refuses to leave it to the merchant, it is naturally a first-come, first-served serving.

Forced by the intervention of the palace, the merchant had to confess, and Mrs. Suan refused to return to the merchant until her death, living alone outside, and even refused to see her husband. And after her death, the merchant received news from her personal servant, and when the large team rushed over, the building was already empty, and even the corpse was gone. The merchant was afraid of being pursued by the Xiao family and the palace, so he had to arrange the funeral in a hurry and pretend to be buried.

This is the end of a legendary woman's life, and even death is a mystery.

Shaohua listened a little distracted, she seemed to understand that after a woman who had no relatives married into her husband's family, she found that her husband was not as dedicated and infatuated as she was in her heart, the difficulties of the concubine, the greed of the in-laws, and the pain of losing a child, which was enough to break an iron heart. Maybe it was because she was so desperate that she had no way out, so she didn't even bother to bury her husband in the ancestral grave. Such a woman is commendable and regrettable, but Shaohua just feels sorry for her.

Because I was so fascinated by her deeds since I was a child, that after knowing the truth, I suddenly felt a sense of empathy. It wasn't until Yan Kaizhi helped her wipe her tears that Shaohua realized that she was in love.

Yan Kaizhi didn't expect Shaohua to be so excited about Mrs. Xuan's matter, and chuckled: "Your body is just right, don't be too sentimental." ”

Shaohua stuck out his tongue, "My body has been well for a long time, and now I have the strength to go out for a few laps." ”

Seeing that she was alive immediately, Yan Kaizhi did not complain that when she walked up this morning, she got up too violently and ended up lying on the bed for a long time. "Only a good body can help me give birth to more sons, otherwise, one child will be more lonely." Yan Kaizhi teased, Shaohua immediately blushed, and immediately stopped jumping.

"Didn't you say that you would wait for your son to be older, why did you mention this again?" Shaohua was frightened, just a dough was enough for her to be busy, and if she had an extra child now, she would not have to be dizzy.

Yan Kaizhi was so happy by her hurried appearance that he was about to tease that if she refused to give birth, she would let other women give birth. But when the words came to his lips, he immediately paused, put away his smile, and said softly: "I heard that Xu has smallpox." ”

Shaohua immediately showed a look of surprise, and then quickly calmed down, "That's her own fault." ”

Yan Kaizhi looked at her with a calm face, "Xu Zixiang has come to me a few times. ”

Shaohua frowned and looked at him, a little unhappy, "Do you want the Xu family to take her back?" ”

Yan Kaizhi didn't shake his head, nor did he nod, "The Xu family is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect itself, it is rare that Xu Zixiang still thinks about this sister." Without waiting for Shaohua to speak, Yan Kaizhi said again: "Xu Ziang has already left the palace, it seems that the Xu family has to move his family to Beijing this time." ”

After making such a big fuss, Hongyi would never put the Xu family so far away, although he did not take back their fiefdom, but finding an excuse to summon the head of the family into the capital and circle him is safer than letting it go outside.

The Xu family entered Beijing, and it seems that Xu Xinru's matter is not easy to handle. She also plans to wait a few more days, stay up until Xu Xinru dies of illness, and then send Shui Ling back, as for whether the Xu family can spare her, it depends on Xu Zixiang's ability. But in this case, not to mention that Shui Ling has not received the retribution he deserves, I am afraid that Xu Xinru has also escaped the catastrophe. Shaohua knew in her heart that if Xu Xinru returned to the Xu family, she would definitely not give up.

Therefore, she must get rid of Xu Xinru before the Xu family enters Beijing.
