Shi Guoxin put the water in and came out. The door of Lanting Pavilion was gently closed by him.
Zhao Xun held the big yellow dog in his arms, his handsome eyebrows darkened, and he looked at Lanting Pavilion inquiringly.
He had vaguely seen the outline of the old man standing inside. There had been rumors for a long time that this girl had captured the Qingzhou Saint. Could it be true?
"Ahem." Mrs. Qu's cough came from the side.
Zhao Xun paused and looked up at her.
"Prince Zhao, you're still hanging on," Mrs. Qu said with a smile, "How long has it been, why haven't you left yet?"
Zhao Xi smiled, let go of the big yellow dog and stood up.
But the dog was not happy. He stood up and insisted on holding him and letting him touch his head.
"Mrs. Qu, elder sister Ah Li and I have a past life relationship, and I also find Ah Li a cute girl. I just want to wait for her to come out and talk to her." Zhao Qin said with a gentle smile.
"If you just wait, it's okay. I'm just afraid of these ears. They are so useful," Mrs. Qu said. "However, no matter how good the ears are, they are of little use. The doors and windows of my Lanting Pavilion are not that windy."
It can be scraped in and blown out."
Zhao Xin sneered in his heart, but his face was still like the spring breeze in April: "Mrs. Qu, there is no need to target me like this. Ah Li and I are already on the same boat. Instead of being afraid of me eavesdropping here, Mrs. Qu might as well think about it,
Why haven't you caught the crimson-browed girl from Yan Chun Tower so that you can give Ah Li an explanation?"
The smile on Mrs. Qu's face froze slightly.
"Miss Jiangmei is able to control everything in Hengxiang as a prostitute. This is indispensable for Mrs. Qu who supports her behind the scenes." Zhao Xun continued.
Mrs. Qu smiled and said: "Prince Zhao is so powerful, but he wants to defeat me."
"That's why Mrs. Qu is so awesome. She said she liked women, but in the end she raised a woman who specifically harmed women."
Mrs. Qu couldn't laugh anymore, she frowned and took a deep breath, saying coldly: "I do feel guilty about this. I have sent people to try to find those innocent women who were sold by her. I also have this bitch Jiangmei."
She will be found. But this is different from staying here."
With that said, Mrs. Qu leaned over and picked up the dog leash on the ground and pulled it back.
The big yellow dog, which was still in its owner's arms asking for a hug, howled and was pulled away.
Zhao Xun didn't respond either.
"You are not allowed to stay here any longer," Mrs. Qu looked at Zhao Yu and said, "otherwise, I will stew the dog in an iron pot!"
The big yellow dog struggled to get up and wanted to run towards its owner, but Mrs. Qu held it tightly.
Although the big yellow dog is big, Mrs. Qu is also strong.
After a long day of fighting between man and dog, Mrs. Qu suddenly frowned and her eyes fell on a floor tile that the big yellow dog had dug up on the ground.
In the pavilions and pavilions in her house, no one dared to cut corners, and such a big brick was dug up by a dog.
The aunts and maids who followed Mrs. Qu came forward and stared at the brick, feeling surprised.
"On the outside there is gold and jade, but inside there is decay." Zhao Yu said leisurely.
Mrs. Qu ignored him, thought for a moment, and looked at an aunt behind her: "Go and call someone over to move all these floor tiles."
"Yes." Auntie took the order and left quickly.
"What? Is there something fishy?" Zhao Yu went over.
When he lowered his head, he saw half of the golden stone slab covered with mud exposed under the slightly lifted floor tile.
No, it's not like a slate.
Zhao Xun squatted down, pulled the floor tiles upwards with one hand to create more space, and reached in with the other hand.
He frowned slightly, looked up at Mrs. Qu, and said seriously: "Looking at your appearance, you shouldn't have buried this thing?"
"What did you find?" Mrs. Qu asked.
"Gold." Zhao Yu said.
It's not an ingot or broken gold, but a solid, large gold plate.
We haven't pried up all the floor tiles yet, so we can't tell how big the gold plate is, but its thickness is very scary.

Inside Lanting Pavilion.
Fan Zhuyi, who took a sip of tea, was not ready to speak yet.
Xia Zhaoyi sat on the piano bench, her hands elegantly clasped in her lap, waiting patiently.
After a long while, Fan Zhuyi said: "I don't know much."
Xia Zhaoyi said: "Just tell me everything you know."
"I only know that they hate Qiao very much and have been hunting Qiao for more than three hundred years."
"Three hundred years," Xia Zhaoyi said, "from the end of the Zhang Dynasty to the beginning of the Qian Dynasty."
"These people should all be descendants of the princes, queens, or powerful officials of the previous dynasty, including the Qiao family."
"Why turn against each other?"
"I don't know," Fan Zhuyi thought for a moment and looked at her, "Do you know about the disaster caused by the Qiao family in Nantang County, Liling County, Zhaozhou?"
"Well," Xia Zhaoyi said, "I heard someone mention it in the teahouse at the foot of the mountain when I was young."
Fan Zhuyi took another sip of tea and said calmly: "Did you hear that there was a big rebellion in Zhaozhou? The Qiao family, who had heard the news early, were afraid that the whole city would panic and prevent them from escaping, so they did not inform the government so that they could escape first. , leaving a whole city of people behind. In the end, because the government did not prepare enough soldiers, horses, food and grass, the entire county was killed by the rebels?"
Xia Zhaoyi nodded lightly: "What I heard is indeed true."
Fan Zhuyi smiled and said: "Nantang County and Liling are only thirty miles away. Where is your master? Have you asked him?"
"My master lived in seclusion in the mountains for ten years. He never came down from the mountain for ten years, and he never exchanged letters with outsiders. Therefore, he didn't know what happened under the mountain."
"Everyone says that Venerable Li Ling has great calculations, but he can't even calculate this accurately." Fan Zhuyi said.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled quietly and did not answer the question.
She knows her master's temperament very well. He does nothing but does everything. To him, everything is like a cud dog.
In addition, the master at that time must have been the most cynical and worldly, so Xia Zhaoyi was sure that he would not count this at all.
Even if he forgets it, he might not even come down the mountain.
Master's heart is sometimes terrifyingly hard.
"You continue." Xia Zhaoyi said, not wanting to explain to Fan Zhuyi or fight for the master's reputation, which the master himself did not like at all.
"It's fake," Fan Zhuyi put down the tea cup and said, "Ms. Qiao is not greedy for life and afraid of death. It's just a deliberate attempt by someone to eradicate Mr. Qiao, so that he will be criticized by thousands of people and reviled by everyone in the world."
Xia Zhaoyi said: "I asked someone to look through the county annals of Nantang County. This incident was not recorded in the county annals, but the imperial court did send Tianrong Guards to hunt down the Qiao family. Later, the Jiangnan Barracks also dispatched troops. Chasing Mr. Qiao."
Fan Zhuyi chuckled: "Do you know what the real killing is, that is, not even letting them keep their names. In these long years, with three thousand years of history, many big clans have been silently annihilated. If you want to really wipe out a clan, it takes more than just It's just to cut off their descendants, but to remove their names and surnames, leaving them without a monument and even without a status. It's really too easy for them to tamper with a mere county annals."
"You are right." Xia Zhaoyi said.
Fan Zhuyi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Guqin not far away: "Their hatred for the Qiao family is not only to kill them all, but also to abuse them. They don't want the Qiao family to live well, and almost every Qiao family who falls into their hands
