Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 334
As if feeling something in his heart, Shang Ruyi looked into Yu Wenye's eyes, and the moment the two looked at each other, a light seemed to flash in their eyes.

But the next moment, Yu Wenye smiled lightly.

He said: "This kind of thing is still too nihilistic. Instead of solving these mindless and groundless anagrams, it is better to think about practical things. Maybe it will help us in our predicament."

"..."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi sighed softly in his heart.

It's not disappointment, but she should have understood that Yu Wenye has always been a very pragmatic person. For him, thinking about those illusory things is never as important as solving the immediate problems.

Such a person, his footsteps will always be firm, and his eyes will always move forward.

And the morals of the world will only be changed by such people.

She asked, "Then, what did you think of?"

Yu Wenye said: "I suddenly remembered that the Zuo family's rebellion also left many unsolved mysteries, some of which I haven't figured out yet."

Shang Ruyi asked, "What is it?"

Yu Wenye said: "Duke Xiaoshan died nine years ago, but Zuo Heng started his rebellion three years ago, and there was an interval of five or six years in between. If he wanted to avenge his father, why didn't he do so at the moment of his father's death?" Just raise the army, and suddenly raise the army after a lapse of many years."

"Perhaps, it is to accumulate strength?"

Shang Ruyi thought for a while, and then said: "Nine years ago, the world was not like—"

Having said that, she paused for a moment.

Nine years ago, Chu Yang had just ascended the throne for a few years. At that time, he was still full of vigor and vigorous efforts to govern. He did not build canals and palaces to exhaust the power of the people. ...

But she couldn't say all of this.

The man who fell in a sea of ​​blood in front of her eyes may have missed many things, but the only thing he didn't do was hurt him.

How could she have the heart to judge his merits and demerits?

Seeing Shang Ruyi's sudden stop, with a sad expression on her face, Yu Wenye immediately sensed her thoughts, and his eyes also darkened, but he didn't say much, only remained silent for a while, and then slowly said: "What did you say?" , also makes sense."

Shang Ruyi gave a low "hmm".

Yu Wenye said again: "However, there is another reason, which always makes me feel strange."

Shang Ruyi sniffed to get her expression back to normal before asking again, "What's so strange?"

Yu Wenye said: "Actually, when Duke Xiaoshan just died, the Zuo family had lost their support, but they still had some wealth; but in the few years after his death, due to the imperial court's suppression, the Zuo family had completely declined, but in six years Afterwards, Zuo Heng suddenly had the capital to rebel; moreover, he didn't seem to worry about money at all. This is intriguing."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi's mind was also shocked.

Although she is not very skilled in military affairs, there is one thing that people who are not familiar with military affairs will know, that is, raising soldiers is the most expensive thing in the world.

What's more, what Zuo Heng did was not only to raise soldiers, but also to support one war after another. It was a waste of money. If he didn't have strong financial resources, he would absolutely not be able to do it.

Shang Ruyi said: "You are strange, where does his money come from?"

"Um,"

Yu Wenye nodded, and then said: "Now that I think about it, maybe these two things are related to each other."

Shang Ruyi was even more puzzled: "You mean, the reason why Zuo Heng delayed raising the army for five or six years was to make money in the middle?"

Yu Wenye nodded.

Shang Ruyi said: "But, where did he get such a huge sum of money in five or six years?"

Yu Wenye didn't speak immediately, but just sat there quietly, but there seemed to be an imperceptible gleam hidden in those deep, dark eyes, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Have you heard of Zuo Gong's suspicious tomb?" ?”

"...?"

Shang Ruyi stared at him with wide eyes——Zuo Gong is suspicious?
At this time, the stall owner finally boiled the tea and delivered it to everyone, and walked back sweating profusely. Hearing these words, he also stopped in his tracks.

Shang Ruyi thought for a while, then said softly: "I heard my uncle mention it. It is said that before his death, Mr. Xiao Shan seemed to be worried that he would be harmed by his enemies behind him, so he specially set up twelve suspicious graves. On the day of the funeral, there were Twelve teams came out of Zuo's house with twelve coffins at the same time, and went in different directions, so that no one knew where he was actually buried. And I heard that even the Zuo family didn't know."

Yu Wenye nodded and said: "Although everyone doesn't know where he is buried, it doesn't mean that everyone doesn't want to look for it."

Shang Ruyi said, "But what's the point of finding his real grave?"

"..."

"A person's death is like a riddle on a lantern, there is no way his enemies really want to take revenge on him, even the dead body will not be spared, right?"

Yu Wenye said: "In this world, love and hatred can drive many people and things, but there is one more thing, which is worse than love and hatred."

"what?"

"The wages of avarice is death."

"……fiscal?"

Shang Ruyi was taken aback, and immediately said: "You mean—"

Yu Wenye said: "Mr. Xiao Shan loves money very much. It is said that during the years when he was Prime Minister of the two dynasties, he searched for treasures in the world and accumulated wealth in his family. But after his death, the money suddenly disappeared. Disappeared."

"..."

"A few years later, Zuo Heng suddenly raised his troops again, and he never worried about money at all."

Shang Ruyi said in astonishment: "You mean that Zuo Heng was looking for the real burial place of his father during those few years, because the real tomb may be the place where Duke Xiao Shan hid his treasures."

Yu Wenye nodded.

"...!"

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but gasped.

This was something she had never thought of before, if this was the case, then Zuo Heng was able to rebel and make such a big noise, there are traces to follow.

but--

At this moment, a little doubt suddenly surged in her heart.

Why is Yu Wenye so focused on discussing this matter with her at this time?

As he himself said, instead of trying to solve these mindless mysteries, it is better to think about practical things-about the Zuo family rebellion that was suppressed a few years ago, and the Zuo Gong suspicion that had nothing to do with them at all. Zhong, why did he let him chatter with him for so long?
That's not how he acts.

Just when Shang Ruyi was puzzled, the stall owner, who was half-knowledgeable, came up and said excitedly, "Both of you, is there really any money in Zuo Gong's suspected tomb?"

Both of them turned to look at him, a little surprised.

Shang Ruyi looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Why, boss, you want to get rich too?"

When the stall owner heard this, he hurriedly waved his hands, and said with a smile: "The villain is born to work hard, how can he have such a blessing. I just listened to be curious, and the people in Wanggang Village seem to be looking for Zuo Gong to suspect the grave." , if there is really money in it, then they've found the right one."

"...!"

Yu Wenye's gaze flashed: "The people in Wang Gangzhai are also looking for Zuo Gong's suspected grave?"

"Yes."

"When did this happen?"

"Only two days ago, the two masters over there mentioned it when they were resting here."

Yu Wenye said calmly: "Do they know where Zuo Gong's suspected tomb is?"

The stall owner scratched the back of his head and tried his best to think about it, and said, "I don't know, but listening to them, they seem to have found some kind of map."

"Oh? A map?"

"That's right, the two of them have a piece in their hands, and they seem to be piecing together, but they haven't figured out why."

Shang Ruyi's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile: "Boss, didn't you ask? Even if you find out a little clue, if you find it, it will be a lifetime of glory and wealth."

The stall owner laughed and said, "Madam was joking."

"Oh?"

"Most of these things are for those who are blessed to watch, and those who are not blessed to enjoy. For a person like me, it's better to earn some hard money honestly and just live."

I didn't want to move, although this person is talkative and poor, but there is a little transparency in him.

Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "Boss, you are quite open-minded. You are lucky to think so. There are many disasters in this world. It is that you are greedy for what you don't deserve, which leads to a lifetime of suffering, which is hard to extricate yourself from."

Yu Wenye at the side glanced at her.

The stall owner couldn't understand what he said, so he could only apologize and say yes repeatedly with a smile.

The two of them rested for a while, and when they had eaten and drank enough, they got up and walked to the carriage, ready to continue their journey.It's just that the two of them walked while thinking about their own thoughts.

Shang Ruyi thought for a while, but finally couldn't restrain herself, she turned to Yu Wenye and said, "Why such a coincidence?"

It was just a coincidence that they stopped at this tea stand, and it seemed to be a coincidence when they talked about the Zuo family's rebellion and Zuo Gong's suspected tomb. Why did the stall owner know about it? I'm talking about Zuo Gong's suspected tomb.

It must be too much of a coincidence.

Yu Wenye also turned his head to look at her, remained silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Maybe, isn't it a coincidence?"

Shang Ruyi was startled: "What do you mean?"

Yu Wenye said: "Maybe, someone thought of going with me."

"..."

Shang Ruyi thought for a while, and suddenly thought of something, a flash of inspiration flashed in her eyes, and she looked up at him: "You want to—"

Yu Wenye said slowly: "Mr. Zuo's suspected tomb, once these four words are related to the treasures of an incomparably rich country, people in the world will covet them. However, it is not that simple to find the suspicious tomb. Maybe Zuo Heng knows, but he is already dead."

"..."

"So, everyone can only find a way to the people around him."

"..."

"It's just that the people who participated in the Zuo family's rebellion back then were either decapitated or wandered in the rivers and lakes. They have long been lost in the hustle and bustle. Now there is only one person who can still know their names—"

Having said this, he stopped.

And Shang Ruyi's breathing was also suffocated.

The two looked up almost at the same time, looking in the direction of Wang Gangzhai.

Xiao Yuansui!
