Chapter 262 Feeling Uneasy
"He did use this method to recruit martial arts sects that recognized people. For those who recognized money, he could only pay them a high price to help him find treasure."
Although Xiao Hulu has not found out the whole truth, it is almost certain.
Hu Liang was mainly in charge of the treasure hunt. He had four subordinates who were all children of noble families in the capital. They were responsible for contacting the four countries respectively.
As for himself, he was responsible for contacting the martial arts sects within Sheng'an State and searching for treasures within Sheng'an State.
That jade pendant had appeared in the hands of all five of them, but that was several years ago.
After a long period of cooperation, those martial arts sects do not necessarily need to see the jade pendant every time.
'So... how is their treasure hunt going? Have they found the place on the map?'
Chu Qinshu still wanted to go treasure hunting, but she didn't expect that Prince Ning had already set up such a large treasure hunting stall five years ago.
There are so many martial arts sects. After searching for five years, I'm sure they must have searched all of Changxing Continent, right?
'I don't know the progress of the treasure hunt yet. I can't watch so many people's videos in one afternoon.'
Xiao Hulu felt that it was not easy for him to find out what he had just said.
If you really want to find evidence of Prince Ning's guilt, you will probably have to spend a lot of time watching the video.
'Little Gourd, is there any way for my dad to watch videos with you without disturbing my sleep?'
Chu Qinshu knew that Chu Chengyi took this matter very seriously, but in order to watch the video using the "Consciousness Projection Symbol", it seemed that she had to watch it together.
After all, the 'Consciousness Projection Symbol' borrowed her consciousness.
That is to say, when you watch the video with the 'Consciousness Projection Symbol', you are actually watching through her eyes.
If Chu Chengyi wanted to watch the video, he would probably watch it all night long.
She is still young and in the growth stage. She can't do without sleep.
'Of course you can, Master, if you are tired, just go to sleep. Your father can use the little gourd's consciousness to watch the video. You have forgotten that we have a common consciousness.'
Little Gourd glanced at Chu Qinshu and sighed in his heart. He didn't know how stupid his master would become after he was three years old.
Just think about it and you will feel worried for it.
'Then I'll go talk to my dad, you guys watch the video and look for clues, I'm going to sleep.'
Chu Qinshu said this and left the space.
"Oh."
[Dad, from the clues we have found so far, Prince Ning has no connection with the royal families or nobles of the four countries, and he himself has never shown up...]
Chu Qinshu told Chu Chengyi everything Xiao Hulu had told her.
Then he suggested that Chu Chengyi watch the video himself and continue to check.
After all, he had more experience in investigating this matter, while she and Xiao Hulu could only rely on intuition or guesswork, and their efficiency could not be improved.
"Okay, then Shu'er, you go to sleep obediently, and Daddy will apply the talisman paper himself."
Chu Chengyi was more than happy to be able to watch the video himself and find out the truth.
After he took the "consciousness projection symbol" handed over by Chu Qinshu, he put Chu Qinshu back on her cradle.
"Oh."
[Daddy, don't worry. Shu'er will sleep well. ]
After Chu Qinshu said this, she turned over, found a comfortable position, and quickly fell asleep.
Chu Chengyi made sure that his daughter was really asleep before he found a comfortable position to sit down and slapped the talisman paper on his forehead.
After the talisman disappeared, a video image appeared in my mind.
Following Hu Liang's clues, Xiao Hulu called out the names one by one, and the video kept changing.
Little Gourd didn't stop until it was time to go to court.
Chu Chengyi was unable to communicate with Xiao Hulu, so he could only wake up and fall into a brief contemplation.
Afterwards, just like every day, he went to the morning court with Chu Qinshu, who had been prepared by Nanny Yao.
After the court was dismissed, Chu Chengyi found an excuse not to go to Yu's study, and instead carried Chu Qinshu back to the study in the East Palace.
"Shu'er, Daddy still wants to continue watching the video, can I?"
Chu Chengyi always felt uneasy until the matter of Prince Ning was thoroughly investigated.
If he had only conspired with Ma Xiuli to embezzle money, Emperor Yongping would have sent him back to his fiefdom.
But his purpose of collecting wealth was to search for treasures, and he also colluded with many underworld forces in the five countries. It was not as simple as sending him back to his fiefdom.
I'm afraid letting him return to his fiefdom would be more risky than letting him stay in the capital.
I really can’t imagine it. If he succeeds in finding the treasure, I’m afraid the world will be in chaos.
"Oh."
[Of course you can, Shu'er will watch it with Daddy. ]
Since she didn't go to Yu's study today, Chu Qinshu knew that Chu Chengyi wanted to continue investigating Prince Ning's treasure hunt.
She actually wanted to check, so when Emperor Yongping wanted to carry her to Yu's study, she pretended to be asleep.
With Chu Chengyi making excuses for her, Emperor Yongping had no choice but to do it.
But Emperor Yongping was not stupid, and he probably had guessed what Chu Chengyi was going to do.
He did not stop, which showed that he was also hesitant in his heart.
It is one thing to be reluctant to part with your son, but it is another thing if this son will endanger the country.
"good."
Chu Chengyi was very satisfied with his daughter's thoughtfulness.
After tucking her in, we started watching videos together.
I have to say that Prince Ning is still very smart. Even if he finds out the progress of the treasure hunt and those martial arts sects, he cannot be sure that they are related to him.
Unless someone among Hu Liang and his four subordinates betrays him.
But Hu Liang and his four subordinates all had relatives in Prince Ning's backyard, and they all had children.
This... Unless they are sure that King Ning has lost power, they will probably betray King Ning in order to protect themselves.
In the study, Emperor Yongping picked up the memorial and put it down again.
After repeating this several times, he simply threw away the memorial, stood up and walked to the tea table by the window.
"Lin Fu, make some tea."
Emperor Yongping sat down and looked at the fresh green outside the window, but his mood was not as sunny and cheerful as it should be in spring.
"Your Majesty, the tea is ready. Would you like someone to come and have a couple of cups with you?"
Lin Fu had not read the two files from yesterday, but he was not blind. His master's emotions were all influenced by the important events in the court.
He could also guess a little about the things that would make his master unhappy.
The closest ones are Matthew Li and Zhou Hongjing, and there is also the possibility that it may involve some prince or crown prince.
The first two were important officials in the court, but they wasted the royal trust and committed acts of corruption and lawlessness. How could this not make people angry?
Those princes and kings, who are originally heirs of the royal family, have turned around and colluded with important officials in the court to bring discredit to the royal family, which is even more infuriating.
"Ask someone to drink tea with me? Who can come to drink tea with me?"
Emperor Yongping looked at the brewed tea and muttered to himself.
Yesterday he sent a eunuch to Ninggu Pagoda to announce the decree, deposing King Chengshuohuai of Chu and demoting him to a commoner.
As for who was responsible for Murong Zhan being poisoned by the strange Yansha poison, he was still asking Long Wei to investigate.
If it was true that the Yansha Kingdom had set its sights on Chu Chengshuo, perhaps considering that he had been demoted to a commoner, they would no longer dream of cooperating with him.
But even if Chu Chengshuo's problem is solved, there is still Chu Chengze......
Neither of these two brothers, who came from the same mother, gave him peace of mind.
"I'll have someone invite General Wang to come. You can drink tea, play chess, and chat with him."
Lin Fu tentatively suggested.
