Chapter six hundred and ninety seventh poison plan
Liao Cheng smiled awkwardly, "It's just curiosity. Don't mind it, Chief Qu. Since the treasure map is safe, I can rest assured. As for the introduction, Chief Qu can rest assured that what I promised will be fulfilled."
It’s just that half of Yi’s treasure map has disappeared, what is Patriarch Qu going to do about this matter?”
Liao Cheng was a little unhappy with Qu Huaiyun's unwillingness to reveal where the treasure map was, but he still had to keep Qu Huaiyun under control now.
When Qu Huaiyun got the other half of the treasure map, he would try to grab it again.
The Chief Assistant has already issued an order, asking him to get the treasure map no matter what. When the time comes, he will personally present the treasure map, and his future will naturally be unlimited.
As for Mr. Qu, I can only feel sorry for him. After he gets promoted and makes a fortune, will he still be afraid of him as the prefect of Sunan Prefecture?
He has not moved in Hejian Mansion for six years. He knows that he has no merit in front of the chief minister, his political achievements are mediocre, and he does not value him at all.
Now that he has accomplished this, the Lord will definitely transfer him back to the capital.
Thinking of this, Liao Cheng suddenly felt excited.
"That Yi Lanshan thought he could deceive everyone, but he didn't know that he couldn't deceive me. I have been fighting with him for so many years, but I still don't understand his temperament? The fact that the treasure map was stolen from him is probably
Fake."
Qu Huaiyun snorted coldly and revealed Yi Lanshan's plan.
"Oh? What do you mean by this?" Liao Cheng looked happy, waiting for Qu Huaiyun's next words.
"That old man probably used a fake treasure map to fool people. He was just pretending to be a showman. I can tell at a glance."
Qu Huaiyun did think that Yi Lanshan had lost the treasure map. After all, Yi Lanshan's expression and actions did not seem to be fake at the beginning.
But later, Yi Lanshan was not as anxious as before, as if the previous anxiety was all an illusion.
If the treasure map was really stolen, how could Yi Lanshan still be arguing with Gu Chengyu during the day? He might have led someone to catch up with him.
Combined with his understanding of Yi Lanshan, he could figure out the reason with just a moment's thought.
In fact, how did he know that Yi Lanwen's distressed look at the beginning was genuine.
But what he was distressed about was not the treasure map, but the valuable items in the study.
"You mean that half of the treasure map is still in the Yi Mansion?" Liao Cheng was shocked. If that was true, it would be much easier for him to get the treasure map.
No one in Yi Mansion is currently serving as an official, let’s not say whether there will be any in the future.
Nowadays, the Yi family is just a somewhat famous family. As the saying goes, the county magistrate who destroys the family is the prefect who destroys the family.
He is an official, and the Yi family is just a commoner. Can the Yi family be able to fight against him, an official of the imperial court?
Although the Yi family has many in-laws over the years, there are always a few who can speak in the court.
But Liao Cheng is not worried. How far away are they relatives?
Now that he is in such a desperate situation, even if something happens to the Yi family, how can those people help him? They might hide far away!
"We have to think of a way to deal with this matter. No matter what, we have to get the half of the treasure map."
Liao Cheng was thinking about a strategy in his mind, and the calculating light in his eyes made Qu Huaiyun's heart sink.
Although he and Yi Lanshan have been fighting for so many years, the two of them are always angry with each other. But when it comes to the old aristocratic families in Hejian Mansion, he still recognizes the Yi family.
Liao Cheng's methods were vicious and he was an official. How could that old man Yi Lanshan not suffer a loss when he faced him?
Thinking like this, Qu Huaiyun couldn't help but feel a little sad that the rabbit had died.
Alas! He sighed in his heart, whatever! Who allowed something like that to happen to the Yi family back then?
If you are not allowed to enter the official position within three generations, a big family will almost collapse.
Seeing the two people muttering, Gu Chengyu probably wanted to scheme against someone again.
However, the purpose of his coming tonight was to find out where the treasure map was hidden, but Qu Huaiyun didn't tell him just now, so he couldn't help but feel regretful.
Gu Chengyu was a little impatient and thought about waiting a little longer. If there were no clues, he would go back to sleep and think of a solution tomorrow.
The Qu Mansion is so big that if you don't know where it is, you won't be able to find the treasure map. It would be too time-consuming to search one place after another.
"How's it going? Do you think this method is feasible?" Liao Cheng told Qu Huaiyun the method, and then asked for his opinion.
"This? This is not good! This method is too crude." Qu Huaiyun looked troubled, and it seemed that he was unwilling to do so.
Gu Chengyu was a little curious and didn't know what method the two people were talking about. He didn't hear clearly the two people were whispering just now.
"This method is guaranteed to be effective. I believe you know better than me what Yi Lanshan's weakness is."
When Liao Cheng saw Qu Huaiyun squirming, his face became a little confused.
"His grandson Brother Min is his lifeblood. If we really attack his grandson, I'm afraid Yi Lanshan will fight me to the death!"
Qu Huaiyun didn't expect that Liao Cheng would come up with this idea. It was too unflattering.
"Hmph! A person who achieves great things doesn't stick to trivial matters. I'm not asking you to kill him. I'm just asking Yi Lanshan to take the treasure map in exchange. I believe he will make the right choice."
Gu Chengyu, who was squatting on the roof, finally figured out what this method was from the conversation between the two.
Yi Lanshan's grandson Yi Yuanmin has loved reading since he was a child. Now he can memorize four books and five classics at the age of eight, making him a child prodigy.
The generation from the Yi family to Yi Yuanmin is already the fourth generation. Yi Yuanmin is not only talented in reading, but also works hard to make progress.
Yi Lanshan had previously pinned her hopes on Yi Yuanmin, hoping that he could make the Yi family rise and return to the court.
Gu Chengyu had already heard about this when he came to Hejian Mansion, and Yi Lanshan indeed regarded this grandson as his lifeblood.
In Yi Lanshan's eyes, this is the source of the Yi family's prosperity.
The idea of these two people was nothing more than to capture Yi Yuanmin, blackmail Yi Lanshan, and let Yi Lanshan choose between his grandson and the treasure map.
This is undoubtedly a vicious plan, both of which have interests entangled with the family.
But Yi Yuanmin is so smart, he might be able to shine in the imperial examination in the future.
Besides, Yi Yuanmin is a human life after all. Yi Lanshan has spent a lot of effort on his grandson, and the relationship between grandparents and grandson is naturally very deep.
But Liao Cheng forgot one thing. It is indeed good for Yi Yuanmin to study, but who can guarantee that he will be admitted to the Jinshi?
What happened to Zhongyong is an example. There have been many prodigies since ancient times, but where have those people gone?
Besides, even if you become a Jinshi, you may not be able to go far in the court.
But the treasure map is different. As long as the treasure map is handed over, it can bring benefits to the clan members.
Even if Yi Yuanmin is gone, it shouldn't be difficult to find a more outstanding grandchild if it is replaced by other grandchildren, right?
As long as you use the treasure map to get a promise, you will never be able to get an official position in the future.
