The common attire of the servants in the Yi Mansion shows that they are not the master's most capable people, at least not yet.
He is ten years old, and his appearance can only be regarded as Zhou Zheng. However, his eyes are very smart, but I don't know what his character is.
Looking at those bright eyes, Gu Chengyu felt that this person did not seem to have bad character.
As for doing this for Yi Lanwen and the others, that was something that he, a young servant, couldn't compete with. The master ordered and the servants had no choice but to obey.
"Without you, I still have a way to know where the treasure map is hidden, it just takes some effort!"
Seeing that Yi Lanwen was still hesitant, Gu Chengyu knew that he would eventually agree. However, he was pressed for time and did not want to delay any longer.
Just as Yi Lanwen planned, it took too long, and maybe Yi Lanshan would send someone to find him.
This sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Yi Lanwen looked desolate, but he still spoke in the end.
"I don't know where the treasure map is."
As soon as he said this, he saw the face of the young man opposite him sinking, and that majestic aura came overwhelmingly towards him.
His heart trembled, thinking that this must be the pressure of the superior.
"Brother, he only believed in himself and didn't tell anyone. However, I have my own method. I know that he hid the treasure map in the ancestral hall."
After saying this, Yi Lanwen gasped for air and his face was ashen.
He knew that the Yi family was doomed. The plan that his eldest brother had laid out for so long was disrupted by him.
The master behind it doesn’t know if he can forgive his elder brother, himself, and Yi.
But the alliance with that person was private. That person said that even if he couldn't help him get the treasure map, he would still take the Yi family under his wing.
What that person valued was not the treasure map, but Yi's potential.
If Gu Chengyu knew what Yi Lanwen was thinking, he would definitely laugh at Yi Lanwen's naivety. This is just a common method used by superiors to win over people!
If the treasure map was really lost, what use would the Yi family have?
Even if the development potential of the Yi family is valued, how many years will it take? For the Yi family and the other party, it should be dispensable.
Even if the fourth generation descendants of the Yi family join the officialdom now, it will take many years to reach the fourth rank.
What's more, the fourth rank is not considered a high-ranking official and does not have much power.
"Oh? You have to think clearly. If you tell lies, then the antidote will naturally be gone."
Gu Chengyu narrowed his eyes slightly and secretly cursed Yi Lanshan as an old fox.
They had previously found out that there were at least two heavily guarded places in the mansion, but they did not expect that these two places were filled with smoke bombs.
The treasure map is actually hidden in the ancestral hall. The ancestral hall is usually not open until important days.
"Every word is true!" Yi Lanwen didn't tell lies. His life is still in the hands of others!
One night before, he wanted to ask his elder brother about that person.
When I walked to the ancestral hall, I suddenly found that my elder brother had entered the ancestral hall in a flash.
He felt a little strange. Why was the eldest brother going to the ancestral hall at this late hour?
No one in the tribe was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, and it was night, so it seemed very strange for the eldest brother to go to the ancestral hall.
He hid and watched curiously. When his elder brother came out, he saw his cautious expression looking left and right, which made him even more confused.
He originally wanted to go to the ancestral hall to find out, but only his eldest brother and the gatekeeper, Old Man Lian, had the keys to the ancestral hall.
The eldest brother definitely didn't want him to inquire about these things. Even the old man buying the doorman would not dare to go against his words.
So he looked at the ancestral hall a few times and had to give up and go back. However, he lay awake all night, thinking about it over and over again.
Later, he paid close attention to his eldest brother and found that he went to the ancestral hall every five days.
A while ago, he was insinuating to his eldest brother that the treasure map was not safe in the house.
Later, the eldest brother said that those people would never know where the treasure map was hidden, so he didn't need to worry.
Only then did he think that his eldest brother must have placed the treasure map in the ancestral hall. Otherwise, why would he go to the ancestral hall every few days? He must be worried about the treasure map!
"Is there an ambush in the ancestral hall?" There was no one guarding the outside of the ancestral hall, but that didn't mean it was the same inside.
"There is only one old man guarding the ancestral hall, but I haven't been in for a long time. As for whether there is an ambush or mechanism inside, I don't know."
Yi Lanwen shook his head. He had indeed not been to the ancestral hall for a long time.
While Gu Chengyu was waiting for Ming Mo and the others to come over, he was thinking about how to get the treasure map.
In a blink of an eye, he saw the woman still lying at his feet, pointed at her and asked, "Who is this woman?"
As soon as these words came out, Yi Lanwen was a little embarrassed, and the boy scratched the back of his head, glanced at the woman, and turned away.
"Ahem! This is the grand-nephew of the third wife of Yi Mansion. Her husband has passed away and she is now a widow."
Seeing that Yi Lanwen didn't mention the antidote, the boy felt a little anxious. He moved closer to Yi Lanwen, preparing to remind his master.
"Oh? But it's still the period of filial piety?" Gu Chengyu noticed the white velvet flower pressed on the side of the woman's head.
"Yes!" Yi Lanwen felt his face was burning at the moment, so he only replied briefly.
"Hmph! You Yi family are really cruel! A widow whose husband has just died is pitiful enough, but you still treat her like this."
Gu Chengyu looked at Yi Lanwen with disdain on his face. Since ancient times, many men like to use women to achieve their goals.
"Master Gu! Do you dare to ask us about the antidote?" Seeing that his master was not in a hurry, the boy had no choice but to come up with it himself.
This is related to his own life! Even though he is a young boy, he can still speak, right?
Gu Chengyu knocked on the table, "It's not that I can't give you the antidote, but not now. I still need you to do something for me. When the work is completed, I promise that the antidote will be provided."
Gu Chengyu thought that he couldn't just enter the ancestral hall in broad daylight, otherwise wouldn't it be an open robbery?
There are many masters in Yi Mansion. If they are attacked by a group, they will be in a lot of trouble after all.
"What? That's not what Mr. Gu just said. Didn't you say that if I tell you where the treasure map is, you will give me the antidote?"
When Yi Lanwen saw that Gu Chengyu wanted to go back on his promise, he suddenly felt anxious.
Gu Chengyu spread his hands, "I didn't say that just now. Did I say that in my original words?"
Seeing the expressions of these two people as sad as a dead mother, Gu Chengyu smiled, and then took out a porcelain vase from his sleeve.
"Ouch!"
Gu Chengyu was about to speak, but the two men hugged their bellies in unison, and even their faces became distorted.
Gu Chengyu knew that this was the effect of the medicine, so he said seductively: "The antidote here can only suppress the toxicity in your body. If you want to completely solve it, as long as you help me do something, I will do what I say.
