Chapter 354: Careful Planning
"Does Mr. Liu know the Princess of Yan from the previous dynasty?"

Liu Dongjia was stunned. He was not like Shi Liu, who had only heard one or two things about many things. He still knew a lot.

He naturally knew about the Prince of Yan and his wife of the previous dynasty. He heard that the Princess of Yan was the only daughter of the wealthy Shen Sanwan, and inherited the Shen family's huge wealth. In order to obtain this wealth that was enough to rival a country, the emperor of the previous dynasty forced the Princess of Yan to death and even caused the Prince of Yan to commit suicide for love.

It’s a pity that the huge fortune was not found.

It is said that when the Jin Dynasty was first established, Emperor Taizu also sent people to look for it, but they did not find it.

Some people say that the Shen family’s wealth had long been squandered by Shen Sanwan, while others say that it was robbed by gangsters.

Some people also said that it was the servants of the Shen family who took away all the gold, silver and jewelry and fled to the State of Nanxi while the State of Chao was in chaos.

The last legend is the most reliable, and many people believe it. After all, there are rumors that the ancestor of the Shen family who made his fortune did so with the help of his wife, and his wife was a citizen of Nanxi Kingdom.

Emperor Taizu did not hold on to the fact that something could not be found, but instead devoted himself to governing the country, and the matter was eventually left unresolved.

But Liu Dongjia had never expected that this fictitious Five Treasures Secret Records was actually a treasure, and this treasure was the Shen family's wealth that was the richest in the world -

His heart was pounding. Even though their Liu family was now considered to be on par with the richest family in Dajin, everyone knew that the wealth accumulated by the Shen family for generations was based on maritime trade. The wealth was incalculable and could not be matched by the two families combined.

The Shen family no longer has any bloodline in the world. After all, this treasure was originally entrusted to the family servants by the Princess of Yan. In the absence of Shen family bloodline, it is reasonable for the loyal servants of the Shen family to have obtained this treasure.

The descendants of the loyal servant of the Shen family willingly gave the treasure to Shi Liu, and it then belonged to Shi Liu.

Therefore, Liu Dongjia was both shocked and moved that Shi Liu told him the whole story without hiding anything.

"Why?" Why tell him?
Liu Dongjia was curious about what Shi Liu was thinking. Was it because of trust?
Shi Liu said slowly, "To be honest, even if I knew where the treasure was, I wouldn't dare to look for it by myself. After all, the remnants of the former dynasty are also eyeing it covetously. So, I have to find someone to cooperate with me."

"I have been working with Mr. Liu for such a long time, so we have a tacit understanding. When it comes to choosing someone to work with, the first person I think of is you, Mr. Liu."

After hearing this, Mr. Liu was filled with emotion again. It is true that Shi Liu valued the Jing'an Marquis Mansion behind the Liu family, but if it comes to choosing, the Wang family is also a good choice.

I can only say that Shi Liu is right. After working together for a long time, you will develop a tacit understanding and will naturally be better than others.

He immediately stated: "We can cooperate on this matter, but if we want to take out this treasure, we still have to plan carefully."

"It's natural."

Liu Dongjia hesitated for a while, but finally said, "To be honest with you, Shi Liu, the Fifth Prince has gone out to travel and is now in Daming Prefecture."

Shi Liu raised his eyebrows. The Fifth Prince, who was the most popular candidate for the crown prince, might very well be the future emperor. If there was a chance to curry favor with him, then of course he would do it well.

Isn't this the reason why she chose to tell Liu Dong about the treasure?

Even if Liu Dongjia did not tell the Fifth Prince about the treasure, he would still unconditionally support the Fifth Prince after obtaining the treasure.

By sharing this treasure, she won over the Liu family, which meant she had one more person to talk to the Fifth Prince.

But how can this compare to talking to the Fifth Prince in person?
"Since the Fifth Prince is traveling, if he can capture the remnants of the previous dynasty, what will happen when the Emperor and the court officials know about it?"

Liu Dongjia looked at Shi Liu with appreciation, and then said, "As far as I know, it is not just the Fifth Prince who is traveling this time. The court has been arguing about the issue of appointing a crown prince for a long time. I am afraid that after the princes travel this time, the emperor will make a decision."

It was called a tour, but in fact it was the emperor's final assessment of the princes. Therefore, those who shined during the tour and got the attention of the emperor and the court officials would naturally have a better chance of success. Not to mention that the emperor was very fond of the fifth prince.

The two looked at each other and saw deep meaning in each other's eyes.

"In that case, let's do this——"

-

Two horse-drawn carriages stopped in front of the government office, and more than twenty people tied up like dumplings were taken into the office.

Not long after, another carriage stopped at the gate of the government office, and a young man in his early twenties wearing a brocade robe got out. Liu Dongjia accompanied him on his left. Inside the government office, Prefect Cheng came out quickly, bowed to the young man, and invited the two of them in.

In the East Hall, someone saw these two scenes and his eyes darkened.

"Master Song, do you have anything else to do tonight? We haven't gotten together for a long time. How about a couple of drinks together?"

The older man called Song Zhubu stroked his beard and laughed, "Nothing else. Why, thank you for the treat, scribe?"

Xie Li smiled and said, "It is my honor to invite you, Master Song, to have a drink."

"That would be great!" Song Zhubu was a wine lover, but unfortunately he was closely watched by his tigress at home and she never left him with a penny. It was naturally a pleasure for him to drink other people's wine.

After the two men had agreed on this, they walked out of the government office arm in arm and went to a tavern.

When they arrived at the tavern, Xie Li generously ordered the tavern's best pear blossom wine, as well as roast chicken, peanuts and other side dishes. The two of them took a small compartment upstairs, which was quite quiet.

After two glasses of wine, Xie Li looked at Master Song drinking to his heart's content and couldn't help but talk about some random things.

As he was talking, he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Master Song also saw it just now, right? We are already at the yamen, why are there so many prisoners sent here? It seems like they are bandits from somewhere."

Xie Li often invited Song Zhubu to drink. As long as Song Zhubu knew all the gossip in the government office, he would usually not hide it from Xie Li. After all, people will be soft-hearted if they know the gossip.

Besides, there is nothing wrong with talking about these things.

"They are not bandits. I heard they are rebels captured from Xiangning County!"

Song Zhubu glanced around and lowered his voice again, "It seems to be the remnants of the previous dynasty!"

Xie Li was so surprised that he almost cried out. He quickly covered his mouth and looked at Song Zhubu and said, "Remnants of the previous dynasty? Didn't the previous emperor say that all these remnants were wiped out?"

Song Zhubu took a sip of wine and said, "Who knows? I think these people are just bored. The Dynasty has been destroyed for so long, what is there to restore?

Even the son of Prince Yude failed to restore the country, this is the orthodoxy. Now, it is not known whether these are the real Li royal family. It is possible that they are just selling dog meat under the guise of sheep. What can they achieve by being so secretive and shady?"

The candle lit nearby just happened to shine halfway on Xie Li's face, making it flicker. When Song Zhubu couldn't see, Xie Li's gaze was frighteningly cold.

But he soon returned to normal, "Master Song is right."

"However, there is also a young man who came with the head of the Liu family. I don't know who he is, but our master actually came out to greet him in person."
