Chapter 259 The Key to the Treasure
Su Yan was really panicked.
Is Bo Jinxiu really trying to draw a clear line with the Shen family by returning this?
Shen Qingqing cannot escape his protection, and they are completely powerless against Bo Wanhua.
What he said just now was just to test Bo Jinxiu's reaction.
Qingqing wasn't awake yet, and he was actually leaving.
Bo Jinxiu stopped, turned around and spoke calmly.
"Of course I know that this is one of the keys to the century-old treasure of the four great families. The heirlooms of the four great families are all keys to open the treasure, but you must gather all four keys to open the door to the treasure."
There is a legend that has been circulating among the four major families in Beijing.
A hundred years ago, during the Republic of China period, three of the four major families in Beijing were military lords of the Republic of China.
There are four major military leaders occupying Kyoto, the Xiao family, the Shen family, the Xue family, and the Shangguan family.
The country was divided into four directions, the warlords were in chaos, and each major family had accumulated huge wealth.
Later, the era of warlords gradually went to extinction.
Most of the four major families chose to flee abroad.
But huge wealth and countless gold cannot be taken away.
The four major families joined together to create a treasure house.
He hid all his wealth in an ancient temple deep in the mountains.
And a magical treasure door was built, and the four keys were made into four tokens.
Four keys must be embedded in the door to open the secret passage leading to the treasure.
These four tokens are all made from a piece of pink jade.
Three of the descendants of the four great military leaders of that time are still alive today.
They are the Shen family, the Xiao family and the Xue family. It can be said that these three families are century-old prestigious families.
After the establishment of the new zg.
The four major families that went abroad that year also returned to China and began to recuperate quietly.
The Xue family monopolized the oil and grain shop, the Shen family opened a bank, the Xiao family opened a trading company, and the Shangguan family opened a shipping company to develop overseas trade.
The descendants of the four major families rose rapidly.
Because everyone knew the legend of the treasure in their family, the four major families quickly united.
They monopolized various industries and began to marry each other.
But it was in the generation of the old man.
For unknown reasons, the entire Shangguan family was massacred overnight and the entire clan was reduced to ruin.
The Shangguan family's heirloom pink jade pendant is also circulating on the black market.
The other three families all wanted to get the jade pendant, and each showed their magical powers in secret.
But the jade pendant was eventually bought by a mysterious person.
This person is Mr. Bo.
The Bo family is the last to rise among the four major families today.
It can be said that he is Mr. Bo's self-made man.
I heard that he became a shipping tycoon by relying on a small cargo ship.
He acquired almost all of the Shangguan family's properties.
The Bo family rose rapidly and became the leader of the four major families in just a few decades.
No one knows the identity and background of Mr. Bo.
There are also rumors that he wiped out Shangguan's entire family and seized Shangguan's property.
Of course, no one dares to spread this message now.
Over the years, relying on their solid family background and knowledge acquired abroad, the new four major families have almost monopolized all business chains in Beijing.
Because the major families have reached their peak.
Therefore, the four major families did not tell their descendants about the treasure from a hundred years ago.
In fact, starting from Bo Jinxiu's generation, most of them didn't know about the treasure.
Su Yan continued, "The treasure is a secret of the four major families. It is usually told from the previous generation to the next generation, and only to one person. The four keys to unlock the treasure are the heirlooms of the four major families. Your Bo family has a pink jade pendant, the Shen family has a dragon plaque, the Xiao family has a pink jade lock, and the Xue family has a pink peace lock."
Su Yan said, "It is said that there were millions of ounces of gold a hundred years ago, as well as countless rare treasures. Any one of them would be worth a fortune today. If you could get the treasures from a hundred years ago, it would be enough to buy several small countries."
"If you get it, the Bo family will become the richest family in the world, and will not decline no matter what happens in the next few hundred years. Most importantly, you will no longer be controlled by your eldest sister. Compared with this century-old treasure, the wealth in her hands is only a drop in the bucket. You can buy the most powerful mercenary army in the world, and you can even buy a small country. In this world, no one can fight against you. Don't you hope that this day will come?"
Su Yan knew that Bo Jinxiu was ambitious.
Even if he didn't dream of those treasures, Bo Wanhua would know the secret sooner or later.
By then, Bo Wanhua will definitely try her best to get the four keys.
Bo Jinxiu had no choice.
Bo Jinxiu's expression did not change much, and he was as cold as water: "This is just a legend from a hundred years ago, it is not necessarily true. The successive heads of the four major families have been searching for a hundred years, and they can't even find the location of the ancient temple in the mountains. This century-old treasure is not that easy to obtain."
"But you have the ability, and you have the best hope of finding it."
Su Yan said, "Our Shen and Xue families are now just the right-hand men of the Bo family. We have long lost the qualifications to be on equal footing with the Bo family. In the coming years, the Shen and Xue families will have to rely on the Bo family to survive. If this is the case, I certainly hope that you will be the head of the Bo family. If it is Bo Wanhua, then our Shen family will be finished."
Bo Jinxiu said: "Don't be so pessimistic. Shen Yibai is still a member of the Shen family after all. Even if I lose the game with my eldest sister, he will not let my eldest sister destroy the Shen family."
"Shen Yibai's last name is just Shen. He didn't change his last name because the old man promised to let him inherit the Shen family's property. But once he inherits the Shen family's property, Bo Wanhua will not let the Shen family go. It's not a pity for my husband and I to die, but Qingqing is already like this. Do we have to push her into hell again?"
Bo Jinxiu said: "If I lose, I will be the first to die, so it is useless for you to tell me all this."
"So you cannot fail in this battle for power, Prince. What's at stake is not only your own life, but also the lives of many people who depend on you."
Bo Jinxiu looked at Su Yan: "So what do you want to say?"
Su Yan closed the sandalwood box and put it in Bo Jinxiu's hand again: "Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to say. You and Qingqing are not destined to be together. I will persuade her to be more open-minded, but I also ask the prince to continue to keep his promise and protect Qingqing's life at any time. You return this dragon card to me, and I will give it to you again. It is my second surrender."
Over the years, Bo Jinxiu has built a safety net around Shen Qingqing.
This network has not been removed yet.
Bo Jinxiu accepted it, and then said: "As for the Shen family, I still hope you won't make things too bad. You can ask for business or financial compensation. As for Xue Qin..."
"I know we can't really ask Xue Qin to pay for his leg to Qingqing, but this matter can't be easily covered up. Since the Crown Prince is willing to be the peacemaker, please go and tell the Xue family that as long as the Xue family sends Xue Qin abroad and doesn't allow him to return within five years, and the 5% shares of Xue Group under Xue Qin's name are transferred to our Qingqing, this matter will be over."
"Our simple leg should be worth a few shares of Xue's company."
