Chapter 668 What's the Use of Studying



The shadow guard turned almost the entire tin painting shop upside down, but still couldn't find where the silver was hidden.

Yan Shiyue is really weird.

She had a strong feeling that the silver was hidden there, but she looked everywhere for it and couldn't find it.

While eating, she was still talking to herself: "Tell me, what is more important than life in this world? It's not money... After death, no matter how much money you have, you can't spend it, so what is more important than life?"

Then she winked and said sweetly to Emperor Ming Yan: "Aye, you are more important than my life!"

Emperor Ming Yan had heard such words many times, and each of them showed more sincere emotions than hers.

He nodded calmly: "Yeah."

She continued, "But if someone catches me and tortures me severely... I might betray you." She looked at him crying, "Aye, I'm sorry, I'm so unfilial!"

Emperor Ming Yan looked at her and said with a smile: "My Yue'er doesn't need to be the funny one or the supporting one, she can perform a play by herself."

She nodded and continued, "But Jiang Henbie is already in his seventies, so it shouldn't be for Dad. He has been playing with honey for many years, so it's definitely not his lover. Could it be his son? Daughter?"

...

...

The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was right, so she called the shadow guard, "Put up a sign at the Tin Painting Workshop and find a reason to say that we have captured Jiang Henbie and Wei Qing. If you want to rescue them, go there."

The shadow guard responded and left.

However, her hard work this time did not produce any results, and no one was attracted.

Seeing that he was about to leave the next day, Yan Shiyue was unwilling to give up and pondered over the tin painting.

The long spear is inserted into the rack, but the tip of the blade is facing downwards, and the picture is called "Hide the Blade". The picture of the beauty pushing the window is called "Hide the Beauty". There is also a picture of dressing, and the jewelry box can be closed, and the picture is called "Hide the Treasure".

Yan Shiyue's heart moved, and he called the shadow guard: "Please ask Wei Qing to come over to me!"

Wei Qing was brought over soon.

Yan Shiyue said: "Please sit down."

Wei Qing sat down silently.

Yan Shiyue looked at his expression and said, "Have you managed to make the tin painting I told you about last time?"

Wei Qing said slowly: "I tried to make a few, but they were not perfect. I will try two more times and I should be able to make it."

Yan Shiyue nodded: "You and Jiang Henbie are not in the same group, right?" She poked his arm gently: "It's not that you don't feel pain, you can just resist it."

Wei Qing remained silent.

Yan Shiyue asked him: "Why? You don't have to tell me where the ingot is, you just need to tell me why, and I will ask you to go back and make that tin painting."

Wei Qing was slightly startled, he looked up at her, then he said softly: "He saved my parents, I promise never to reveal his secret."

The thinking process of Jianghu people is indeed different from theirs. Yan Shiyue raised an eyebrow: "So between the greater righteousness and the lesser righteousness, you chose the lesser righteousness, and you don't plan to change it, right?"

Wei Qing nodded.

"Okay." Yan Shiyue didn't try to persuade him, and asked again: "Who helped him cast the ingots before?"

“I don’t know.”

"How long did it take you to help him cast the ingots?"

Wei Qing was silent for a moment: "About... a dozen years."

Yan Shiyue hummed, she stood up and looked at the painting: "Hidden Feng, hidden Jiao, hidden treasure..." She looked at him: "You have actually been telling me that those ingots are hidden with you."

Wei Qing remained silent. After a while, he reached out and took the teapot with trembling hands.

Yan Shiyue stared at his movements. Wei Qing slowly poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.

Yan Shiyue walked forward slowly, supported herself on the table with both hands, and looked down at him: "Hide your talent, hide your beauty, hide your treasure... In fact, in the final analysis, everything is 'hidden' in tin!!" Wei Qing's hand trembled slightly, and Yan Shiyue continued: "And tin is hidden in the water!"

Wei Qing raised his head with a complicated expression.

Yan Shiyue cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wei, for telling me."

She turned and went out, ordering: "Release Wei Qing and let him go back to making tin paintings. No need to have anyone watch him. Also, we encountered Jiang Henbie's reed bush before. I remember that place was behind the tin painting shop. Have someone go down to the water to have a look. There should be a tin house under the water! And I suspect there is an entrance in the tin painting shop!"

The shadow guard left in response.

More than an hour later, a shadow guard reported: "There is indeed a tin house under the water! It is very big! It is not easy to get out! We traced the entrance along the tin house, but it has been blocked. It is in an abandoned furnace in the tin painting shop!"

Who could have thought that it was actually underwater? The only person in the world who could have thought of this was Yan Shiyue, who was extremely smart!

Yan Shiyue was very proud and said to Emperor Ming Yan: "Father, there must be real things in here! Most of what he cheated is probably in there!"

Emperor Mingyan said: "Send a message to Yan Chengyuan, tell him to transfer 2,000 Shenwu troops! The matter of the fake ingots must not be exposed."

The shadow guard obeyed the order and left.

The Shenwu Army was a mobile force, mostly composed of cavalry. After receiving the order in the afternoon, they set out overnight and arrived early the next morning.

Before this, Shadow Guard had already informed the local authorities, who cut off the water source of Biezhibo overnight and drained all the water.

Because of this incident, Emperor Ming Yan stayed for another day.

Several people booked a restaurant and, holding a newly made glass telescope, watched from afar the Shenwu Army going down again and again. Finally, they made a rope net, and several horses worked together to drag a tin house up.

In fact, it was not too big when it was really dragged up, about the size of an ordinary room, and it was not square, but oblate, with a very long entrance as thick as a water tank... So what Wei Qing wanted to tell her was, could it be that "the treasure house is a teapot"?

And then she misunderstood and found the thing by accident?

Yan Shiyue looked through the clairvoyance while calling Xu Wenqu, "Sir, don't you have anything to say?"

Xu Wenqu moved his clairvoyance to look at her: "What did you say?"

Yan Shiyue asked: "Where is the prince?"

Prince Chun was also confused: "Hmm?"

Yan Shiyue sighed in frustration: "Tell me, what's the point of reading so many books!"

She pointed down and said, "This room is so big that even if we separate the people, everyone can see it. In less than an hour, the news that the silver room was dug out in Yong'an River will spread everywhere. Instead of letting them talk nonsense, it is better to seize the public opinion and do something. This is an invisible and huge resource. Do you understand?"

Xu Wenqu smiled and bowed: "If you need anything from me, please let me know, my Lord."

Yan Shiyue asked Emperor Ming Yan: "Aye, do you want it?"

Emperor Ming Yan knew her habit of taking advantage of opportunities very well, so he smiled and said, "I don't want it, I'll give it to you as a reward."

"Okay," Yan Shiyue pinched his chin and thought about it, then called a shadow guard over: "Go find me someone who looks like my brother."
