Soon, everyone knew.
About the treasure map.
Not only was Qiu Shanxi not held accountable by the old emperor, he also chatted with the old emperor, had lunch with him, and left the palace very late.
It was Eunuch Lian who personally escorted her to the palace gate.
The officials and big merchants who had originally thought of keeping their distance from the Qiu family immediately became active again, and all wanted to establish relationships and friendship with Qiu Shanxi.
I don't know where the news came from, but it said Qiu Shanxi had an adopted granddaughter named Qiu Meir.
It just so happened that those who had no channels to make friends with Qiu Shanxi turned their attention to her granddaughter Qiu Meir.
Various posts about flower-viewing, poetry-reciting, and boating on the lake were delivered to the Qiu family like snowflakes.
Qiu Shanxi frowned when he saw this. Although he also wanted to make friends with the powerful and influential people, this was not the way to do it.
After all, Zhou Meir's identity is really special.
He originally just wanted Zhou Meir to get closer to Qian Yucheng in private.
Then, it was natural for him to marry into the Qian family and take the money of the Qian family into his pocket.
Now he has shot himself in the foot!
Before Zhou Meir could do anything with Qian Yucheng, she could no longer hide it.
Qiu Shanxi had a terrible headache.
He originally thought that this time when he returned to Bianjing City, he would be like a fish in water, but at the beginning, it was okay. He sent elixirs to the old emperor and got promoted.
The powerful people in Bianjing City also knew of his existence.
But since Qiu Mobai died, many things have been out of control.
All the very profitable shops and farms have run into various problems, and now Qian Yucheng has taken advantage of them.
Other things also gradually became unsatisfactory.
Qiu Shanxi was extremely anxious and her health has been a little strained lately.
Qiu Shanxi's eyes rolled and he pondered for a moment.
I was shocked.
No, he felt as if there was a hand behind the scenes controlling everything.
The purpose is to bring down everything he has worked so hard to build.
Who could that be?
Qiu Shanxi couldn’t figure it out for the time being, but she knew that she couldn’t go on like this.
The other party is in the dark, and he is in the light! It is very disadvantageous to him.
He has to think of a solution.
His top priority now is to break free from the other party's control and not follow the other party's wishes.
Qiu Shanxi gritted her teeth.
Suddenly thought of it.
Yes, the problem now is that the other party wants to expose Zhou Meir in front of others.
So, he has to do the opposite.
Zhou Meir cannot be allowed to appear in front of outsiders.
If Zhou Meir were allowed to show up in public, she would fall into the other party's trap.
Qiu Shanxi, her eyes flickered slightly.
Suddenly I figured out one thing.
If the other party plotted against Zhou Meir, it could only mean one thing, that is, the other party already knew Zhou Meir's true identity.
But Zhou Mei'er's identity was well hidden, how did the other party know it? Through this direction, he might be able to find the person behind it as soon as possible.
If he finds the person behind this, he will tear him into pieces.
A few days later, Qiu Shanxi took Zhou Mei'er to a farm outside the city and told others that Zhou Mei'er was ill and needed to rest in the farm.
When I returned to the city, the butler was waiting at the city gate, obviously he had something to say.
Qiu Shanxi understood and asked the butler to get on the carriage, which then continued to head towards the Qiu Mansion.
In the carriage, the butler whispered.
"Master, a few days ago, there was a rumor that there was a Miss Sun in our house. I have found her."
Qiu Shanxi frowned, "Oh! How is it? Did you find out anything?"
The official nodded, "After being tortured severely, our people finally told the truth."
"It is said that the person who asked him to pass on the message was a servant in the residence of the Minister of Works."
Qiu Shanxi didn't react for a moment.
"Minister of Industry?"
The housekeeper quickly explained.
"It's the former general of the Southern King, Pang Long's eldest son, Pang Chunsheng!"
Qiu Shanxi was stunned and frowned tightly.
That way, it makes sense!
After all, Pang Chunsheng is Pang Long's son, and Pang Long has been with King Nan for many years.
It is very likely that Pang Chunsheng knows Zhou Meir.
So, he accidentally discovered that Zhou Mei'er was not dead and was still in their Qiu Mansion.
So, what happened next!
Qiu Shanxi was a cautious person, so he asked the housekeeper.
"Pang Chunsheng, isn't he paralyzed? How could this happen?"
Since Pang Chunsheng was assassinated last time, the old emperor has taken it very seriously and asked Mo Ziyuan to treat him.
Mo Ziyuan was an excellent doctor and finally saved Pang Chunsheng, but his legs were numb and he could only sit in a wheelchair.
But even so, the old emperor still kept his promise and let the royal princess marry him.
With Pang Long as his father, Pang Chunsheng's life can be considered prosperous.
However, a few days ago, when he heard that Pang Long was missing, Pang Chunsheng also became depressed for a while.
I don’t know what’s going on recently.
Qiu Shanxi frowned and thought.
When Pang Chunsheng saw Zhou Mei'er, he must have thought that Zhou Mei'er would take revenge on him. This was also considered a preemptive move.
There was an undercurrent in Qiu Shanxi's eyes.
He said to the butler.
"Go call Changying!"
"I have something to ask him to do!"
The butler was stunned and nodded.
"yes!"
Three days later, Pang Chunsheng went out to drink with others when he unfortunately fell from a height and died on the spot.
The location was Yipinxuan, which had just changed its owner. Now it was called Shanzhai Restaurant! Its owner was Qian Yucheng.
Everyone sighed and felt that Pang Chunsheng and Yipinxuan were incompatible.
Everyone thought that his death this time was an accident.
Just when Qiu Shanxi was secretly proud of herself.
the next day.
Changying was suddenly captured by soldiers.
Because someone saw Changying tampering with Pang Chunsheng's wheelchair.
Many people can prove that Changying was there when Pang Chunsheng fell down the building.
This shows that Changying is highly suspicious.
It is very likely that Pang Chunsheng was not killed by accident, but was murdered!
Qiu Shanxi was so angry that his face turned pale when he heard the news. Unfortunately, it was too late for him to do anything now.
Because Changying was from the Qiu family, he had been with Qiu Mobai and traveled all over the country together. Many people knew him.
The old emperor was furious when he heard the news, and he immediately sent soldiers to surround the Qiu Mansion and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving.
All the kindness he had shown to Qiu Shanxi was gone.
As soon as the powerful and influential people saw that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, they all kept their distance from the Qiu family.
The old emperor also sent the Supreme Court Minister and the Governor of Bian Jing to jointly try the case, and he was determined to give an explanation to the Pang family.
Soon, even Zhou Mei'er and her two-year-old son Nan Sichao, who were sent to the farm, were arrested.
