The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 351 The Origin of the Treasure
The candle flame flickered, occasionally making a crackling sound.

In the upper room which was under tight guard, Wu Ping was helped by Hu Zhen to lie down on the couch to avoid straining the injury on his back.

Shi Liu sat on the round chair at the bottom and took a sip of the hot tea brewed by Fu Dong to wake herself up from her sleepiness.

Fu Dong stood behind her, while Hu Zhen stood at the door, paying attention to any movement outside.

In the silence, Wu Ping's voice came softly, neither too loud nor too low.

"Miss, do you know about the previous dynasty? The ancestors of our Wu family who settled in Wujia Village were actually loyal servants of the Princess of Yan in the previous dynasty.

The Prince of Yan was the youngest son of the previous emperor. When he was still in the womb, the then Fourth Prince forced the emperor to abdicate, killed the Crown Prince, and forced the previous emperor to abdicate. Then the Fourth Prince ascended the throne.

After the Fourth Prince ascended the throne, he killed all his brothers and imprisoned them. The only one who was killed was the Prince of Yan, who was born after he ascended the throne. In order to stop the gossips, the Fourth Prince did not kill him, but instead named him the Prince of Yan and sent him to his fiefdom while he was still in his cradle.

The Prince of Yan grew up in a fiefdom, far away from the royal family. He was indifferent to fame and fortune by nature and preferred to travel around. During one of his trips, he met a woman, and by chance, they traveled together and fell in love with each other. Finally, the Prince of Yan married her with great fanfare.

It was only after marrying the Princess of Yan that the Prince of Yan realized that his princess was of no ordinary background. She was the only daughter of the wealthy Shen Sanwan and possessed countless wealth.

Since he ascended the throne, the emperor has been tyrannical, licentious and extravagant, causing resentment among the people. However, the emperor was only concerned with pleasure, and even wanted to build a temporary palace and build a dragon boat to tour the south of the Yangtze River. However, a few years after the emperor ascended the throne, the treasury became increasingly empty, and taxes became heavier every year and could not be increased. The ministers tried to persuade the emperor to remonstrate with him, but the emperor was furious and confiscated the homes of many ministers.

In order to protect themselves and to curry favor with the emperor, someone told the emperor that the Princess of Yan was the only daughter of the wealthy Shen Sanwan and that Shen Sanwan had passed away and all his money was in the hands of the Princess of Yan.

When the emperor learned about this, he immediately issued an imperial decree to summon Prince Yan and his wife to the capital, under the pretext of celebrating the Emperor's birthday. In reality, he intended to detain the Prince and his wife once they arrived and force their wife to hand over all her property.

The Prince of Yan and his wife received news of this matter in advance. In order to protect the family wealth and prevent it from being squandered by the tyrant and harming the people, the Princess of Yan immediately asked the loyal servants who had followed the Shen family for generations to secretly transfer the family wealth and bury the treasure, thinking that they would take it out one day.

Later, when the emperor saw that they refused to come to the capital, he sent General Xuanwei with troops to capture them on the charge that Prince of Yan was scheming a rebellion.

In order to protect themselves, the Prince of Yan and his wife had to rebel.

Unfortunately, the emperor was cruel and ruthless. After failing to capture Tangyang for a long time, he even poisoned the water source, causing countless people in the city to be poisoned. The poison was strong and rare, and no doctor in the city could cure it. The emperor forced the Prince of Yan and his wife to surrender and he would detoxify the people.

For the sake of the innocent people in the fiefdom, the King and his wife of Yan finally chose to open the city gates...

The emperor's men searched the Prince of Yan's fiefdom but did not find any gold, silver or jewelry. The Princess of Yan, who was brought back to the capital, was tortured and forced to tell her the whereabouts of her wealth. She refused to speak, not wanting her wealth to fall into the hands of a tyrant, and died under torture. When the Prince of Yan learned that her wealth had died, he followed her and committed suicide without hesitation.

The emperor was furious because he did not get the wealth of the Shen family, and he crushed the Prince of Yan and his wife to dust...

The cruel and merciless emperor also aroused greater public anger. Soon, uprising armies rose up in various places, vowing to rebel against the tyrant and bring peace and prosperity to the people of the world.

In the end, the palace gate was breached, the tyrant’s head was chopped off and sacrificed to the heaven, and the dynasty was no longer…”

Shi Liu listened quietly. The current Jin Dynasty has been in existence for less than a hundred years, and the current emperor is only the third emperor of the Jin Dynasty.

Everyone knows how cruel, cruel, licentious and immoral the emperor of the previous dynasty was.

Even if you haven't experienced it, you've heard about it from your elders all the time.

Shi Liu often heard Father Li say that after all, the ancestors of the Li family died under the tyranny of the tyrant. When the emperor is cruel and inhumane, he will naturally be rebelled against. In the current Jin Dynasty, Emperor Taizu was killed by the tyrant, and the whole family rose up in rebellion, gathering all kinds of righteous armies and finally killing the tyrant and establishing the Jin Dynasty.

But she didn't expect that this so-called treasure had such a tortuous story.

It sounds like the Princess of Yan is a little stupid. What's the point of keeping the money when her life is about to end?

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!
But think about it from another perspective. If she were the Princess of Yan, would she be willing to hand over her family wealth in order to save her life?
There is no need to hesitate. She is definitely unwilling to hand it over to the tyrant. And even if she hands it over, the tyrant may not kill her.

In that case, I definitely won’t hand it over.

It's just a pity.

Pomegranate couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Wu Ping paused for a few moments and continued his narration.

Not long after the founding of the Jin Dynasty, an army in Cangzhou in the south raised the banner of anti-Jin and restoration of the dynasty, announcing to the world that Prince Yude was the legitimate heir, and the person they supported was none other than Li Wenrui, the son of Prince Yude of Chao.

Before the tyrant came to power, the late emperor was diligent in his work for the people, and Prince Yude also had a good reputation among the people. Therefore, when the announcement was made, quite a few people came forward to pledge their loyalty to him.

After all, the Chao Kingdom had stood for hundreds of years, and subconsciously, many people still felt that they were Chao people.

But at that time, there were many people who supported Emperor Taizu. They fought hard to win the country, so how could they welcome this yellow-haired boy to be the emperor? Who cares about legitimacy or not? The Chao Dynasty had been destroyed, and Emperor Taizu was the legitimacy!
How can you spit out the meat you have already eaten? If anyone tries to take it, you will just chase him away.

After the famous Battle of Baiqi Pass, Li Wenrui's "orthodox army" was defeated by the Jin army.

Afterwards, the seriously injured Li Wenrui was evacuated by his confidants, and since then, he has disappeared...

It was not until the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty that he encountered an assassination attempt while on a secret tour.

Only then did the imperial court realize that there were still people who were trying to rebel against the Jin Dynasty and restore it.

At this time, the Jin Dynasty had become stable. When the people talked about Taizu and Taizong, they all praised them as wise and benevolent rulers. The people, who had lived in peace for so many years, did not want to start a war again.

Therefore, operations to capture traitors were launched in various places...

"My ancestors were hunted by Li Wenrui's men. In order to evade the pursuit, they spent a lot of effort and finally succeeded in shaking off the pursuers. They went to Bingzhou to cover up their tracks and pretended to be beggars for many years before they dared to settle down in Xiangning County and live like ordinary farmers.

Everyone thought that the rebels had been completely wiped out, and my father thought so too, but I didn't expect that they were still there and hiding even deeper. "

Wu Ping said: "The Princess of Yan has been gone for so many years, and she doesn't have any descendants. The only ones who can be related to her are the descendants of the loyal servants of the Shen family.

So, I am willing to give the treasure map to you, girl. You can do whatever you want with it.

Although those people are powerful, they are just rats in the underground, and they cannot see the light of day. It all depends on how the girl plans. "
