Even Jiang Zhengfu couldn't help but glance at King Xiang with unbelievable eyes.

Then, he focused on Xiao Mu.

He wanted to see how this rumor, which had been secretly circulating for a long time, and attracted many disasters and suspicions, how would this festival envoy respond in front of the saints in this Jinluan Palace—

However, without thinking too much, no matter how you respond, I am afraid that there will be no second answer to the "true or false" in this.

Even if it is true, it can only be false.

Thinking of this, a sneer flashed in Jiang Zhengfu's eyes, and he withdrew his gaze and looked ahead without squinting, just waiting to hear how the young man would end.

Sensing that the atmosphere was falling again, King Xiang's curiosity on his face gradually became complicated.

It's him...... Did you say the wrong thing again?

He subconsciously stiffened and turned his head to look at the emperor on the dragon chair.

I saw that my father was looking at him with the eyes of "can you grow a little bit of this product".

King Xiang shrunk his neck.

Didn't his father ask their opinion on this matter in private a few days ago, didn't he just see that his father was more curious than him and was extremely concerned about this matter, so he helped ask?

If you are curious and don't ask, wouldn't it be a waste of energy to guess and guess? Isn't it good to have this time to sleep a little longer and eat an extra Dong'anzi chicken?

Why can't people be simple and honest with each other?

His Royal Highness the King of Xiang sighed in his heart, and he couldn't help but suffer from how to round the field.

And the next moment, Xiao Mu, who only heard him ask, opened his mouth and replied: "The treasure map mentioned by His Royal Highness the King of Xiang, Weichen should have one. ”

When everyone in the hall heard this, their colors changed.

No one expected to hear such an answer!

This Dingbei Hou actually confirmed the rumors of the treasure map with his own mouth?!

In the face of such a "self-recruitment" move, the hundred officials were half surprised, half puzzled, and there was an irrepressible noise in the back of the hall for a while.

Xiao Qing ...... What did you say? The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and even felt that he had been ill for too long and had delusional auditory hallucinations.

The prince looked at Xiao Mu for a moment.

"Back to Your Majesty, the rumors about that treasure map have also been heard by the minister in recent years, and it is indeed not groundless." Xiao Mu took out an object from the sleeve of his official uniform and handed it over with both hands: "This treasure map is here, please take a look at it Your Majesty." ”

As soon as these words came out, the four shook even more.

It is a carry-on ...... It was obviously going to be taken out before I came!

The crown prince looked at the object in Xiao Mu's hand—it was a yellowed drawing that had been rolled up.

The emperor's slightly bowed figure unconsciously sat up straighter, and under the repeated look of his eyes, he said to the prince: "Chang'er, present it to ......"

"Yes." The prince answered, and when he took the drawing from Xiao Mu's hand, he took a deep look at Xiao Mu.

King Xiang was stunned - he just asked like this, and he really asked for a treasure map?

Jiang Zhengfu watched fixedly as the crown prince held the drawing in front of the dragon case and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor unfolded the drawing with a trembling finger, and saw that it looked like a partial layout of a mansion, and on this layout map, a route was traced in a winding way, and finally the place where it led was circled with a red pen.

The layout in this picture seemed familiar to the prince at first glance, and he frowned slightly because of his thoughts.

"Where is the picture in this picture...... The emperor raised his eyes to look at Xiao Mu, and he couldn't distinguish joy and anger in his tone for a while, but there was already an undercurrent in his eyes: "Where did Xiao Qing get this picture from?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know where the picture is drawn." Xiao Mu said: "This picture was searched by the people under the ministers from the palace of the former Jin Dynasty in Yingzhou. ”

"That being the case, then dare to ask Xiao Jie's envoy, why didn't this picture be sent to Beijing together with the confiscated family property of the Jin Palace?" Jiang Zhengfu asked solemnly: "Xiao Jie's envoy has detained this thing privately for several years, what is the explanation?" ”

The rest are not in a hurry to make a conclusion, but the other party's move is undoubtedly suspected of wanting to privately swallow this 'treasure map'-

Do you really think that if you take the initiative to hand it over at this time, you can clear everything?

The emperor also stared at Xiao Mu.

That's right...... If there is no dissent, why have you only taken things out so far?

"Ling Gong misunderstood." Xiao Mu explained: "The rumors of the so-called treasure map came first, and the lower officials were suddenly involved in this rumor for some reason, so they naturally had to investigate. After much investigation, this picture was searched in the old mansion of the former Jin King only a few months ago, and once it was found, he personally brought it to Beijing and presented it to the sage——"

Jiang Zhengfu frowned - just found it?

He questioned: "When the Jin Palace's mansion was copied at the beginning...... Why did you leave this thing out? ”

These words of urgency made the atmosphere in the hall like a tense string.

"At the beginning, the errand of confiscating the Jin Wang's Mansion was sent from Beijing to bring people to the Jin Wang's Mansion to investigate and deal with it, and the people under the lower officials were just leading the way." Xiao Mu said calmly: "As for why Lord Qincha left this thing behind, Xia Guan guessed that it may be related to the place where it was hidden-this picture was accidentally discovered from the secret compartment in the study of the former Jin king, and it was not in the open. ”

Hearing this watertight answer, Jiang Zhengfu clenched his fingers slightly.

Since the other party chose to present this picture, it is obvious that they have already prepared a rhetoric to deal with it......

Looking at each other, Jiang Zhengfu's words were sharp: "If the facts are really as Xiao Jie's envoy said, this official must appreciate Xiao Jie's integrity, loyalty, and selflessness." But how can Xiao Jie's envoy prove that this picture is really the rumored 'treasure map', and not a fake that has been forged and exchanged by Xiao Jie's envoy? ”

"Yes......" an official whispered.

Some officials also stood up and echoed: "It is not unreasonable for the public to be suspicious." ”

"That's right, none of you and I here have ever seen the real treasure map...... Is it true or false, and how can you tell the difference? ”

What if it's a forgery?

Take a fake one, not only can clear the suspicion, to show loyalty and selflessness, but also to swallow the real treasure map for your own use!

Listening to everyone's words, the emperor looked at Xiao Mu: "Xiao Qing may prove that this picture was really found from the palace of the former Jin king, and it was owned by the former Jin king?" It's not that I don't believe Xiao Qing, but if there is no evidence, how can I convince people? ”

The reason why the rumors of the treasure map can spread, and make him, the emperor, jealous, is not for nothing-

As early as when the rumor that the treasure map in the hands of the King of Jin was privately swallowed by the Marquis of Dingbei spread to the Jingshi, he had someone secretly interrogate a close entourage who had been secretly imprisoned by the side of the King of Jin in the past.

According to the confession of the close follower, when the King of Jin was in Yingzhou, he often looked at a drawing of the lamp alone, and he cherished it very much on weekdays, and never let them handle the place where he was hidden.

At this point, he also had to believe a little.

After thinking about it carefully, I felt that the rebel dared to rebel, and it was probably as rumored that he had obtained the treasure map left by the royal family of the previous dynasty before the fall of the country, and with such reliance, he dared to rebel!

It's just that the entourage has never had the opportunity to look at the treasure map in detail, so he can't distinguish the authenticity of this map for him at this time......

The emperor was suspicious in his heart, and looked at Xiao Mu fixedly, waiting for his answer.

"Since the minister found this thing, he has been ordering someone to keep it secretly, until this time it is presented to His Majesty as it is." Xiao Mu lowered his eyes and said: "The minister can only guarantee that this thing is indeed found from the former Jin Dynasty's palace, and it does conform to the rumored treasure map one or two, as for the authenticity, the minister has no way to prove or judge." ”

The Emperor's eyes darkened slightly, and it was clear that this specious statement was not enough to dispel his suspicions.

"It's easy to prove the truth!" King Xiang held back for a long time and couldn't help but speak: "Since it is a treasure map, then follow this map to find it and see if you can find the treasure." ”

Seeing that he was eager to try, and he couldn't wait to immediately carry a shovel to excavate, an official couldn't help but say: "Even if this treasure map is true, the treasure has been hidden since ancient times, and the mystery in the picture is not so easy to decipher......

"No, I know what is depicted in this drawing—" The prince, who had been standing by the dragon case and quietly looking at the drawing, suddenly spoke calmly.

What?

The officials couldn't help but be stunned.

Did the prince recognize the picture?

"This is the second brother's mansion in Jingshi in the past." Prince Road.

- The Jin Palaces in Beijing?!

What does that mean? …… The place where the treasure was hidden in the previous dynasty was not in the palace of the Jin Dynasty in Beijing? ”

"How is this possible?"

"I'm afraid there is something else ...... strange thing"

The officials whispered and discussed, and the emperor lowered his eyes to look at the drawing, but he didn't see much difference.

The Jin Palace, in the Jingshi, was given by him, but he never set foot in it.

And Chang'er had a good relationship with the rebel brother in the past, and he came and went a lot, so it is not surprising that he can recognize this as the layout of the Jin Palace.

The Emperor looked at Xiao Mu again.

If it is really forged by the other party, it is possible to draw a place in the picture that no one recognizes or even does not exist, so that people cannot verify the authenticity......

If it is fake, why is it the Jin Palace?

If it is true, why is it the Jin Palace?

The question in the emperor's heart is also something that the officials are puzzled about.

"It turned out to be two...... It turned out to be the palace of the Jin Dynasty in Beijing! The curious King Xiang immediately recommended himself: "Father, my son is willing to follow this treasure map to find out the truth!" Go and see what mystery is hidden in this picture for my father! ”

The Emperor glanced at the drawing again, and after a moment, nodded slowly.

In addition, he instructed the henchmen on his side: "Go with King Xiang, and it is necessary to find out about this matter." ”

The chamberlain responded, and walked with the king of Xiang and bowed and exited the hall.

With the departure of King Xiang, the palace returned to quiet.

Until the emperor's hoarse voice sounded again: "I still wait here for the results with me." ”

All the officials said "yes" in unison, and most of them were relieved - they were afraid that the saint would see them outside and drive them back!

The mystery has not yet been revealed, if this is gone, then you still have to scratch your heart and lungs and can't eat?

Seeing that the sun was gradually rising to the middle of the day, and noon had arrived, the officials still had the determination to live and die together in the mystery and not to return to the king of Hunan and not to leave.

It's just that the emperor couldn't stand it a little, and accompanied by the prince, he was temporarily helped by the inner chamberlain to rest and take medicine.

In this way, it was not until the afternoon that King Xiang and the others turned back.

At the same moment, someone had already spread the news to Heng Yu's ears.
