Chapter 239: The Secret of Feng Shui Treasure Land
Yu Shengsheng looked at the old man.
He opened the wooden box and took out some tools.
Seeing her confusion, Fu Qingyin said, "He is a detectorist."
Yu Shengsheng was surprised and stood in respect.
“How wonderful!”
Fu Qingyin raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
Yu Shengsheng looked at his gadgets and said, "I've heard of detectorists, but I've never seen one. I think they have divine eyes."
“You can see things underground or in the mountains.”
"Divine eyes," Fu Qingyin laughed softly, "Your metaphor is interesting, but it's not that magical. However, it's true that everyone has their own specialties."
Fu Qingyin did not deny the abilities of these people, and even somewhat agreed with them. Yu Shengsheng thought to himself that he was not so arrogant and unreasonable. Apart from him, others were nothing.
The old man followed the Red Dragon Guard to the land. There was a mountain behind the land, and it was indeed a treasure land.
Yu Shengsheng understood: "Commander, do you think Cheng Ziheng must get this land because there is something under it?"
"Cheng Ziheng got the land because he believed that the feng shui here is excellent and can bless future generations and make the family prosperous again."
Yu Shengsheng was clear-headed: "The one who really wants to get the land is the man in black and the Heavenly Master behind him?"
"Not bad," Fu Qingyin nodded.
"Then the Prince..."
"Of course he is lying. I asked him to come and listen to Cheng Ziheng's story with his own ears. Add the testimonies of the two families and the evidence is irrefutable."
"As for who the real Heavenly Master is, it is still unknown."
Yu Shengsheng looked at the figure in the distance and said, "Perhaps, we will know once the land here changes hands."
A smile flashed in Fu Qingyin's eyes.
About a quarter of an hour later, the old man was still measuring, and the Red Dragon Guard came running back, his expression showing surprise but also some fear.
He looked at Yu Shengsheng and seemed to be at a loss as to what to say.
Yu Shengsheng understood: "Commander, I'm going to go over there to see the scenery."
Fu Qingyin said: "No need, go ahead."
The Red Dragon Guard bowed his head and said, "The detectorist said that according to preliminary judgment, this is an iron mine."
Yu Shengsheng’s eyes opened wide, and Fu Qingyin’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
"As expected," he said in a low voice, hinting at sternness, "Keep testing, we have to be absolutely sure."
"yes."
Yu Shengsheng’s heart was pounding. Iron ore!
Salt, iron, these things are all under the control of the court, and no private person is allowed to touch them.
Especially iron, which can be used to make weapons. With weapons... you can rebel!
Could it be that the person behind the scenes has the intention of rebellion?
If this is true, then this matter is of great concern.
She was confused but also a little excited that she could hardly control herself. The danger was certainly great, but the opportunity was also great.
If she could play a role in it, the deal between her and Fu Qingyin would be easier to complete.
Fu Qingyin observed her changing expressions, like a little kitten planning how to grab meat, and couldn't help but laugh to himself.
"You witnessed the whole thing. If the iron ore is real, how do you think it should be dealt with?"
Yu Shengsheng thought for a moment and said, "Of course the iron ore must be handed over to the court. There is no doubt about that. However, we need to discuss the method of handing it over."
Fu Qingyin was at ease: "For example?"
"For example, why did the Cheng family insist on getting this piece of land? What did Cheng Ziheng say to the man in black? And who is the Heavenly Master?"
Yu Shengsheng paused, and looked into the distance, deep and firm: "The Cheng family must have a purpose in offering the land."
Fu Qingyin looked at her profile. She seemed to have lost some weight in the past few days.
Maybe he was pretending to be sick, or maybe he was just too worried.
"Do you know what will happen to the Cheng family if this is reported to the emperor?"
"I know," Yu Shengsheng raised the corner of her mouth and retracted her gaze, "When Madam Cheng asked the court doctor to come up with a plan to take my life, she also knew what I would face if the plan succeeded."
"She wanted my life first, why can't I take hers?"
Fu Qingyin smiled very slowly: "Very good, I can barely be considered as someone who left Zhenqiao Tower."
The Red Dragon Guard brought the old man back with him. The old man was panting, but what he said was extremely certain.
"Commander...it is indeed iron ore!"
As he spoke, he took out a small tool and said, "I also found this in the bushes."
"What is this?"
"It's a detection tool." He took out one of his own for comparison. It was exactly the same. "Someone must have detected this place before."
Fu Qingyin's smile didn't reach his eyes: "Very good."
…
In the Shangshufang, the emperor was listening to the report from the chief supervisor of the Imperial Observatory.
"Your Majesty, September is the month with the strongest dragon energy, and there will be happy events. It is truly a blessing from heaven. Your Majesty is a wise ruler, so you can hold a ceremony to worship heaven. However, it is not the beginning or end of the year, so it should not be too grand. You can just go to Hongyuan Temple to worship Buddha and burn incense."
The emperor was in a good mood. After all, he was looking forward to happy events. There had been no happy events recently. Concubine Yu had died, and the empress and the prince were both under house arrest. Thinking that this happened during the Mid-Autumn Festival and in front of all the officials, he felt ashamed.
Finally, there is good news coming.
But he didn't want to go to Hongyuan Temple to worship Buddha. Firstly, it would require leaving the palace and mobilizing a large number of people. Secondly, he was really tired.
If that doesn't work, just call the prince...
Just as the idea came to mind, the eunuch outside came to report: "Your Majesty, the commander wants to see you."
"Oh? Come on, let him in."
The Imperial Observatory was monitoring the arrival of Fu Qingyin, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
This commander is very smart and has sharp eyes. What if he sees something?
The chief supervisor secretly regretted that he had come at a really bad time. If he had known that Fu Qingyin was coming, he would not have come.
Fu Qingyin entered the palace to greet him. The emperor smiled and said, "Qingyin, you came at the right time. I have a happy event that I want to tell you about."
"Your Majesty, what is the happy event?"
"Just now Wu Qing said that according to the astronomical observations at night, I will have a happy event in the near future. He said it was a blessing from heaven."
Fu Qingyin glanced at the chief supervisor, who forced a smile and said, "Greetings, Commander."
"Master Wu, this is a physiognomy..." Fu Qingyin's voice drew out, and the chief supervisor felt as if his heart was aching.
"It is indeed accurate," Fu Qingyin changed the subject, "Your Majesty, I came to the palace to report something to you. I am still unsure about this matter, and I don't know whether it is good or bad. Now that I have heard what Lord Wu said, I think it is a good thing."
The chief eunuch was stunned. Good news? What good news? He wanted the emperor to send the prince to Hongyuan Temple to burn incense, and the prince's house arrest would be lifted. He couldn't say that he would be under house arrest again after burning incense for the emperor.
But he hasn't said anything yet, so how can it be considered a good thing?
The emperor was also very interested when he heard it: "Oh? What's the good news?"
Fu Qingyin said: "Your Majesty, the Cheng family, the former Rongguo Mansion, discovered an iron mine."
The emperor was delighted: "Really?"
No matter how much iron ore you have, you can never have too much!
"I dare not deceive the emperor. I have sent people to explore and it is undoubtedly an iron ore."
"Good, good, good," the emperor said three good words in a row. "I said before that the Rongguo Mansion is now in a mess because there is no successor. Now it seems... this matter can be regarded as a great achievement."
"deliver an imperial order."
