Chapter 1110 Where is the thing?

The last letter contained a simple map. The Emperor stood up and said to the Prince, "Go get the latest coastal map."

The prince stood up hurriedly. This map had been guarded by him all the time. He had been studying the coastal defense. He quickly took it and signaled Zhou Shuren to hold the other side.

Zhou Shuren was scrolling through the screen like crazy in his heart. The ancestors of the Rong family were so awesome. It was consistent with the way out he had thought of. The Rong family had been in business for many years. No wonder there were rumors that the Rong family was rich enough to rival an entire country.

Zhou Shuren looked up at the sky in silence. It was all fate. The ancestor of the Rong family had calculated everything, but in the end, no one had calculated fate.

Zhou Shuren couldn't help but think that if the box had not been found, this secret would never be exposed and only the Rong family would know it.

The emperor pointed at the map and squinted his eyes. The other two pairs of twins that the Rong family had hidden hundreds of years ago were sent away by the Rong family's ancestors a long time ago, so there were still direct descendants of the Rong family overseas. The jade pendants in the box were different. They were left behind by the direct descendant male in the family tree when he went overseas. The jade pendants were matched, and the other half was taken away.

The emperor pursed his lips and said, "Tell me, why don't they come back?"

Zhou Shuren curled his lips inwardly, "When the Rong family was destroyed, those who escaped must have received orders, and they may be waiting for the surviving Rong family members to find them."

Moreover, the direct descendants who were separated should have been integrated into overseas areas over the years and have established roots, so why would they come back? In addition, they have not had the support of their family in these years, and the outside world may not be that good. It is right to keep a low profile.

The emperor looked at Zhou Shuren deeply, "Your mother's father was a member of the Rong family. If the Rong family had not been wiped out, your mother would also be the one who protected the family. That's why these things appeared in your mother's hands. Your mother is the legitimate daughter who protected this branch, so she left these things to you."

Zhou Shuren was dumbfounded. What did the emperor mean? Bah, let him guard it. No, no, "My surname is Zhou."

Thank you, Rong. A few days ago I was so excited that I could go to heaven, but now my face hurts so much!

The emperor said nothing, let go of the map, took out another piece of letter paper from the letter, and told Zhou Shuren to write down everything after reading it, and then burn it. Finally, he told Zhou Shuren to find the boy from that year, as he was the bloodline. He also told Zhou Shuren to take responsibility and protect the Rong family after he came to Beijing.

The emperor smiled and shook the letter paper, "Take a look."

Zhou Shuren stared at the last sentence and wanted to vomit blood. He knew that the ancient family mission was engraved in his bones, but mother, there was no need to brainwash him. If it were the original owner, he would definitely agree excitedly, but he was not like that. Now silence is golden!

The emperor picked up the previous letter again, which described the birthmark in detail. The child was two years older than Zhou Shuren. If he was in poor health, he might have died. If he was in good health, he might still be alive, but he was pursing his lips, so it would be difficult to find him.

It was a mess back then. Would they raise a child who was not their own? However, he wanted to go and see the Rong family out in the sea.

The emperor looked at the depressed Zhou Shuren and felt better. "According to the family tree, we are cousins."

Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes in his heart, there is no blood relationship, and besides, a cousin is only three thousand miles away, this is even further than three thousand miles.

Prince Liang hooked his fingertips. Now that his father had acknowledged it, Zhou Shuren really had a relationship with the royal family. As for what was written in the letter, although he was curious, it was not as important as his father's personal acknowledgement.

King Liang has not forgotten. He had attacked Rongchuan and had targeted Zhou Shuren many times. Don't expect Zhou Shuren to be tolerant. After years of dealing with him, Zhou Shuren will hold a grudge.

Chang Zhi was prepared mentally, and his face turned red with excitement, so his family really had such a great background. He thought that the clan leader would cry when he knew about it, because he must be afraid that the emperor would pass his father on to the Rong family.

Zhou Shuren looked at the key in the box. The letter did not mention the key, and the map only told the location of the overseas Rong family, but did not draw any treasure, so his mother did not know what the key could open, but it was important for his mother to hold it.

The emperor followed Zhou Shuren's gaze and then read the letter carefully. The letter only said to keep it well and not lose it, and then it disappeared. The grandfather did not tell Zhou Shuren's mother everything.

In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the emperor had examined the box thoroughly, and was just about to open it. After confirming that there was nothing inside, he said to Zhou Shuren, "Now is not the time to announce it."

Zhou Shuren wished that he would never be promoted again in his life, so he simply replied, "Yes, my last name is Zhou."

The emperor stared at Zhou Shuren with deep eyes. He knew clearly in his heart that Zhou Shuren was unwilling to guard the Rong family. If it were someone else, he would have gone crazy. But Zhou Shuren would not do that. Zhou Shuren only thought it was a huge trouble. Then he felt relieved again, which meant that Zhou Shuren had no ambitions. He could rest assured, "It's getting late. Let's go back first."

Zhou Shuren: "Yes, I will take my leave."

He really didn't care about what happened next, whether it was the treasure that was rich enough to rival a country or finding Rong's family, he didn't want to get involved.

Zhou Shuren and his son left the palace and got on their own carriage. Changzhi finally couldn't help asking, "Dad, will the emperor pass you on to the Rong family?"

Zhou Shuren shook his head and whispered, "No, your grandmother is just a member of the Rong family. There are still people in the Rong family alive, so it's not your father's turn. Just be clear about what happened today. Take a rest for two days and go back. The county examination will be soon."

Changzhi was stunned. He was thinking too much. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, okay."

Prince Liang left the palace only after receiving the reward, but he was not happy. He did not get any credit for the achievement. It was Zhou Shuren who caused him to explode. Now, his father would definitely protect Zhou Shuren. According to seniority, Zhou Shuren was his elder. It was really depressing to think about it.

Inside the palace, the Emperor told the Crown Prince about the birthmark of the surviving child and said, "Send someone to check."

"yes."

The prince responded and asked, "Father, what are these keys?"

The Emperor held the key and said, "Back then, it was said that the Rong family was rich enough to rival a country. After the Rong family was wiped out, the ancestral tomb was dug up. Later, I came back and renovated the Rong family's ancestral tomb. Now these keys show that the Rong family really has hidden wealth."

The prince just looked at the letter and the map, "Is it guarded by the Rong family overseas?"

The emperor was silent for a while, then raised his lips and said, "Grandfather planned so much, but he didn't even tell Zhou Shuren's mother. How could he let the Rong family out in the sea know? Even if it was a way out, your grandfather wouldn't be trusted if the tree had big branches. The only one who knew the secret of the key should be my uncle. Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes."

The prince was walking back and forth, then suddenly stopped, "Father meant that the things are still in the capital, and have always been in the capital."

"Yes, this is what I think. The more dangerous it is, the safer it is. The ancestral tomb is definitely out of the question."

The prince frowned, "Where would it be hidden?"

The emperor stood up. He already had a guess in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
