The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 857
As expected of an old fox, Qu Huaiyun regained his smile now, and gave an overview of what happened tonight.

"Hmph! I also want to thank Patriarch Qu for his kindness. It's just a matter of our Yifu. We should solve it ourselves and don't bother Patriarch Qu."

Yi Lanshan had already experienced Qu Huaiyun's thick skin, so she had better explain the order to chase away guests clearly, otherwise the old man would be used to pretending to be stupid.

"Not to mention Mr. Liao, the old man is really sorry! Now the old man has called in helpers, and asked Patriarch Qu to let your guards go back. In case you are not in the mansion, the Qu mansion has transferred so many people, and you will be taken care of by others. ! After all, isn’t the other half of the treasure map in your Qu Mansion?”

Yi Lanshan was afraid that these people would still plot against the Yi House, so she wanted to drag Qu Shi into the water as well.

Originally, he wanted to plot another half of the treasure map for his master, but after much deliberation, with their ability to change residences, there was nothing they could do to Qu.

It would be great if he could keep the treasure map in his hand. After two days, the master will send someone to fetch it, and he will be considered as having completed his mission by then.

"Hey~ Patriarch Yi, what is he talking about? Where is there any treasure map in our Qu Mansion? Patriarch Yi, don't talk nonsense! But we are the three major families of Hejian Mansion, so we should be of the same spirit and help each other. Yes. Patriarch Yi, don't be polite, just give orders if you have something to do."

Qu Huaiyun looked around, not knowing where the little thief who got the treasure map was hiding.

They have surrounded the outside of Yi's mansion, and the man will never escape.

Qu Huaiyun was a little anxious, since Yi Lanshan was in the way just staring at her, she would definitely obstruct her many times.

He glanced at Yi Lanshan, but found something wrong.

This Yi Lanshan was still anxious when she lost the treasure map just now, but why is she not in a hurry now?

Qu Huaiyun narrowed his eyes, looking at Yi Lanshan, wondering what he was thinking.

"Patriarch Yi, you told me that the treasure map is not in your mansion, but now Patriarch Qu said that the treasure map was stolen. What is the meaning of this? So you are so perfunctory to me? I am the emperor. The imperial envoys sent here came just for the treasure map, so what crime should you have for hiding the imperial treasures?"

As Gu Chengyu spoke, he glanced at Lu Chen, and then turned his attention to Qu Huaiyun.

Qu Huaiyun was swept away by those majestic eyes, and couldn't help feeling guilty.

Lu Chen didn't change his face, anyway, those people would never think that the treasure map was on him.

As for the way Gu Chengyu looked at him just now, although he was worried, Gu Chengyu had no evidence after all, let alone a body search.

Lu Chen is very relieved now, as soon as he leaves the Yi Mansion, he will find a way to send out the treasure map.

"This? Please forgive me, Mr. Gu. The old man is also greedy for profit and has done wrong things. But now that the treasure map has been stolen, the old man just wants to hand it in. That's powerless!"

Yi Lanshan sighed deeply, her face wrinkled into a bitter gourd.

"Since this is the case, what is Patriarch Yi still doing here? Why don't you hurry up and snatch the treasure map back? Hmph! If Patriarch Yi can snatch the treasure map back, it will be regarded as an atonement. I will definitely replace it in front of the emperor." Say something nice to you."

"But if you can't find it, I will report the truth to the emperor about the treasure map hidden by Patriarch Yi."

Wang Mang's treasure map was meant to plunder the gold of the people and the royal family, and the emperor ordered the holders to hand over the treasure map, which makes sense.

"Master Gu! This is a difficult situation for you!" Yi Lanshan had a bitter face, but she was thinking in her heart that if she couldn't do it, she would draw another fake treasure map to deal with it.

"This official doesn't care, who told you to have ulterior motives before?"

Gu Chengyu waved his hand. Although he had obtained the treasure map, he still had to do some superficial work.

"Patriarch Qu, Patriarch Yi also said just now that there is another half in your Qu Mansion. I also ask Patriarch Qu to think more about the soldiers guarding the border, hand over the treasure map, and add more food and grass to the soldiers at the border. ah!"

Gu Chengyu's words were so profound and righteous that everyone present froze.

In fact, these aristocratic families and officials have heard about the emptiness of the imperial treasury.

Since imperial envoys were sent to Hejian Mansion, it can be seen how much the emperor attached importance to these treasures.

It's just that the court has no money, so what are they doing?Without enough benefits, they will never hand over the treasure map easily.

They can only take care of themselves and their families, let the people who should worry about the righteousness of the country worry about it!
"Master Gu, the old man just said that it was just a rumor, there is no treasure map in the Qu Mansion!"

Qu Huaiyun is not afraid of Gu Chengyu, and the emperor has too much confidence in Mr. Gu.

At a young age, you come to Hejian Mansion alone, and you want them to hand over the treasure map?How can there be such a beautiful thing in this world?
"Oh? So there is no treasure map in the Qu Mansion? Patriarch Qu, don't be like Patriarch Yi, just perfunctory me! Otherwise, when I return to the capital, the emperor will not be able to explain it."

Qu Huaiyun didn't know that Gu Chengyu was directly threatening him.

He almost said that he would read a copy of them in front of the emperor. If the emperor listened to this person, he would definitely be dissatisfied with them.

When the emperor blames them, maybe they will all suffer.

An idea suddenly popped up in Qu Huaiyun's mind, but right now he can't agree too quickly, lest Gu Chengyu get suspicious.

Yi Lanshan was in a hurry, "I'm going to catch the thief who stole the treasure map right now, and I ask Mr. Gu for a few more days."

Gu Chengyu nodded and made a gesture of invitation.

When Yi Lanshan led the people to turn around to search the mansion, Qu Huaiyun smiled.

"Master Gu, every word of this old man is true, and I dare not hide it!"

"Master Gu, you have been in Hejian Mansion for some time, and I have not yet fulfilled my friendship as a landlord. It is better to meet you by chance than to invite each other. You may as well let me be the host today, and carry bouillon on your back to clean up the dust for Lord Gu."

Liao Cheng answered the phone suddenly, and exchanged pleasantries with Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu chuckled, this is really sincere.

He has been in Hejian Mansion for almost ten days. I am afraid that the people in Hejian Mansion know that he has come to Hejian Mansion, but he, Liao Cheng, does not know.

It was only now that he mentioned Feng Xichen, and he said it with a face of sincerity, and Liao Cheng had a thick skin.

"Lord Liao, it's not that I don't show face, but that I have been here in Hejian Mansion for a long time. But the matter of the treasure map has not been seen yet, and I just passed by it just now. I am anxious , I'm really not in the mood. Why don't you wait for the official to get the treasure map, and then have a drink with Mr. Liao!"

Gu Chengyu refused without hesitation. Anyway, he knew that Liao Cheng was Xia Qing's person, and it didn't help him get the treasure map much.

The most important thing about this matter depends on Qu's, if Qu Huaiyun invites him, he will gladly go.

Going to the Qu Mansion is beneficial to find out about the treasure map, and he is trying to find some excuse to live in the Qu Mansion.
