Chapter 241 Help him send Prince Ning away
"How can this be possible?"
When Emperor Yongping heard this, he realized that he was too complacent in his previous question.
This painting has been in Matthew's hands for more than five years, and he has already started looking for the legendary treasure. At least the people he sent out have this painting in their hands.
However, there is not a single word on the painting, not even a label, so who can tell where the painting is?
It is possible that this treasure is a means for the Zhang family to confuse the royal family.
"Don't worry, Father. I have already sent people out to look for the people that Matthew Li sent out."
After Chu Chengyi interrogated Matthew Li, he sent out two groups of secret guards.
One group is dedicated to finding those who are looking for treasure, and the other group is dedicated to spreading rumors.
This so-called treasure map has been spread by Matthew Li, and people from all walks of life will probably come to join in the fun.
In this case, we cannot just focus on Sheng'an State.
"Well, let the Yu family kid carefully examine Ma Xiuli to see if the jade pendant is in his hands. Although the rumor is not credible, it will save trouble in the future if we can break it sooner."
The Empress Dowager's arrangement made Emperor Yongping very disappointed.
Not only did she interfere with his harem, she also encouraged his son to compete for the throne. I don't know where she placed his son. She really has no family affection at all.
"Yes, I think so too."
Chu Chengyi nodded, looked at the sky outside, and it was time to return to the East Palace.
Chu Qinshu had left the room when Emperor Yongping and the others were watching the video, and now she was listening to what Emperor Yongping and Chu Chengyi were saying.
She was thinking, since neither of them could confirm whether the treasure was real or not, should she still go treasure hunting?
And this painting, she needs to go back and study it carefully.
It would be great if I could get Sheng Anguo’s map.
In this way, you can also look for it in the public picture to see if there is anything similar to this one.
"This painting... you should take it back, and don't let anyone know about it, so as to avoid any trouble."
Emperor Yongping originally wanted to keep the painting for himself, but when he remembered that it was Chu Chengyi who brought it back, he returned it to him for fear that he would think too much.
"Well, I will obey your order."
Chu Chengyi did not refuse, he did not miss the look in his daughter's eyes.
When he heard that he was allowed to take the painting away, his eyes brightened up.
Since his daughter likes the painting, he has to take it back regardless of whether it is useful or not.
"Well, if you have nothing else to do, go back to the East Palace and take care of your own business."
Emperor Yongping signaled Lin Fu to collect the painting and give it to Chu Chengyi, and then handed Chu Qinshu to him.
It was already dark, and he felt a little tired today and wanted to be quiet.
Chu Chengyi put away the painting, took Chu Qinshu, said his goodbyes, and turned away in his wheelchair.
However, as soon as he turned around, the box containing the painting in his arms disappeared.
Afterwards, Chu Qinshu also fell asleep with her eyes closed.
He knew that his daughter was going to her own territory to think about the painting.
I don’t know what result this young guy can figure out.
In the space, Chu Qinshu took the painting and couldn't wait to open it to look at it.
"Xiao Hulu, enlarge the picture you just took a screenshot of, and let's compare the authenticity first."
Chu Qinshu had never done any research on ancient history, but she had read a lot of books. The way treasure hunting was done in the books was not like that.
Then shouldn't a treasure map be divided into several parts and hidden in different places?
How could the Zhang family paint the treasure map directly on a painting?
"Master, the two paintings look exactly the same."
Xiao Hulu took the painting from Chu Qinshu's hand and compared it with the enlarged one on the wall. He looked left and right, up and down, but couldn't see any difference.
"Zoom in on the wall and see the details."
Chu Qinshu also came forward to watch with Xiao Hulu.
I can’t enlarge the painting in my hand, but I can click on the magnifying glass on the video on the wall.
Moreover, the painting in the video was handed to Matthew Li by the Queen Mother herself, so it is definitely more authentic than the one copied from Matthew Li's home.
"Okay, let's zoom in and see."
Xiao Hulu was not diligent at all before, but after staying with Chu Qinshu for a long time, he not only became diligent, but also became more creative.
Its previous owner had done treasure hunting before, so it has some experience and knowledge in this area.
"Little Hulu, you look first and find the difference between the two paintings. I'm going to go out and ask my father for a copy of Sheng Anguo's map."
Chu Qinshu left the eye-straining matter to Xiao Hulu and immediately went out to find Chu Chengyi.
Normally, Sheng Anguo's map of imperial power could only be in the hands of Emperor Yongping, but Chu Chengyi was not a fool prince, so he would definitely have this thing in his hands.
“Ahh.”
[Daddy, daddy, Shu'er knows where Zhou Hongjing hid the money he had spent on corruption over the years.]
Chu Qinshu opened her eyes and saw Chu Chengyi looking at her. She took the painting without feeling embarrassed at all, because she knew that her father had already discovered her secret.
She couldn't speak, so she didn't try to explain.
If you want something from your father, you must first give him some benefits.
For example, help him get rid of King Ning.
"Is Shu'er awake? She will return to the East Palace soon."
Chu Chengyi understood what Chu Qinshu said, but they were now on their way back to the East Palace.
Let’s discuss the important matters in the East Palace study.
“Ahh.”
[Shu'er, listen to your father.]
The tacit understanding built up over the past few months enabled Chu Qinshu to immediately understand Chu Chengyi's meaning and she quickly agreed.
As soon as they arrived at the East Palace, they went directly to the study.
Of course, Chu Chengyi also sent someone to Jinseyuan to inform them and then go to Jinseyuan later.
"Shu'er, do you have something to tell Dad?"
After entering the study and closing the door, Chu Chengyi asked Chu Qinshu.
“Oh.”
[Yes, yes, Shu'er has something important to tell Dad. ]
[Zhou Hongjing served as an official for more than 20 years and embezzled hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. However, he spent a lot of money to bribe his superiors and used the money to open a restaurant, a silk shop, a silver shop...]
[The account book and the remaining silver, as well as the money earned from his shops, were hidden in the villa in the south of the city. The villa in the south of the city was located at...]
Chu Qinshu knew that Chu Chengyi's focus was on Prince Ning and Ma Xiuli, and he didn't pay much attention to Zhou Hongjing.
But it is a fact that Zhou Hongjing has been plundering the people's wealth, and since he has been found to have evaded taxes, he might as well be removed from office.
Matthew Li had nothing to do with him, but seeing that he was in trouble, he might let down his guard.
“Oh.”
[Also, the person under Prince Ning who contacted Ma Xiuli was hiding in a private house in the north of the city. That private house was actually Prince Ning’s private residence...]
The people hiding in this house were all the ones that Chu Qinshu asked the Snow Wolf King to capture and the ones that King Ning asked Mao Zhang to deal with.
If Ma Xiuli did not take the initiative to confess that Prince Ning was involved in the affairs of Yuzhou, Yu Jinming could also use these people to pry open his mouth.
"Ahhhhh."
[Also, Ma Xiuli's eldest grandson, Ma Ruyu's eldest son, is in Prince Ning's mansion. If Ma Xiuli admits that Prince Ning is involved in the affairs of Yuzhou, he will use this person to threaten Ma Xiuli.]
Chu Qinshu revealed several pieces of news that shocked Chu Chengyi.
After saying this, she looked at him with starry eyes.
