Concubine Gaomen (60)

Something that sounds mysterious means nothing. Lin Yutong sat on the couch behind the screen and listened silently. He and Fourth Master knew what it was when they heard it, and others were only afraid of seeing it and using it.

It won't take long to make it. Gunpowder was the first to appear on this land. However, people who value peace would never associate it with murder. Fireworks are festive, but the ratio has changed, and they have become a murder weapon.

.

However, according to Miao Zhuang, it seems that the Miao family does not know how to manufacture this thing at all. They only have finished products bought from foreigners. This was back in the time of his great-great-grandfather. But according to the map, these gunpowder should be hidden

It's inside the mountain. But with today's sealing technology and this gunpowder left in the mountain for so many years, can it be protected from moisture? But if this thing gets damp, it's useless.

After searching for it for so many years, families were ruined and their families were destroyed just because of this thing that had long since been scrapped.

It's really ironic to say it.

Fourth Master looked at Miao Zhuang and asked, "What about you? What do you want to do now?"

"Me?" Miao Zhuang shook his head, "I am being stared at by Jin Chengan and can't do anything. But what I want most is to rescue my parents and sister first."

"Do you know where they are being held?" Fourth Master asked again.

Miao Zhuang shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, but generally it should be in Liaodong. Not long after Liaodong sends a letter to Jin Chengan, he will talk to me and talk about the current situation of my parents to reassure me. So, I guess

, people are at the racecourse in Liaodong."

Fourth Master understood that what he said was not unfounded. Fourth Master did not rush to promise to save people, but only changed the subject and asked: "Why did he ask you to gain my trust?"

For the so-called treasure map, or for something else?

Miao Zhuang frowned, and after a long while he said: "I heard that the prince's eldest son, Brother Yuan, has entered the palace, but the emperor doesn't seem to be really optimistic about Brother Yuan. After all... the princess's child should be more likely."

Is this an early layout?

But if Miao Zhuang even knows this, does that mean that Jin Chengan's trust in Miao Zhuang is relatively high?

Miao Zhuang seemed to know what the Fourth Master was thinking. He had a wry smile on his face, "He is very good to me and even accepted me as his adopted son. I also know that besides not having much freedom, my parents should

I'm living a good life. You can scold me for being a thief and a father. But there are some things that I really can't do without doing them." He won't do it if he doesn't completely put himself at others' feet and let them trample on them at will.

He let himself go so easily. "As for the treasure map, I guess my parents don't have it. I guess he separated me from my parents, used my parents to threaten me, and then used me to threaten my parents.

I am in his hand. According to my father's temperament, if he really has it in his hand, it is impossible not to take it out. My life is the most precious to my parents. Therefore, I feel that we do not have it in our hands.

That so-called treasure map."

"Then he suspects that the treasure map is in my hands?" Fourth Master chuckled, "But how could he suspect me? When my mother died, I was still in swaddling clothes. No one around me was from the Miao family.

. Those dowries have been in his hands for more than ten years, and I don’t believe he hasn’t looked for them. He hasn’t even found them, so where did I know the treasure map?”

Miao Zhuang looked at Fourth Master, and he really didn't want to lie. But he didn't have it in his hand, his father didn't have it, and his aunt didn't have it in his hand. "Then does this treasure map exist? Could it be just hearsay?

"The legend of the book?" But if this is the case, what does the story that his father specially told him in the early years mean? The treasure must still be there. But where is the treasure map? Could it be that his father has given it to him, but he

not found?

The fourth master turned the cup in his hand: "If my guess is correct, there is indeed this treasure map. But the ones you have in your hands are probably not all. And if my biological mother also left it for me, then in my hand

It should not be complete. Only when we both find our own half and put it together can it be considered complete." He said, putting down the cup in his hand and spreading his hands, "To be honest, in my hand

There really is nothing there. Maybe it’s really hidden in some inconspicuous place, but I just didn’t find it.”

Miao Zhuang's brows furrowed even more tightly, and it took him a long time to say, "I understand." Then he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I will tell Jin Cheng'an about this guess when I get back."

This is to say hello to Fourth Master. Some information must be revealed from his mouth, otherwise, there is no way to make the other party believe it.

Fourth Master nodded: "That's how it should be."

After seeing off Miao Zhuang, Lin Yutong came out and asked, "Leaving?"

"Well!" Fourth Master stood up and stretched, "Anyone who can endure grievances and endure grievances should not be underestimated. Miao Zhuang's flexible temperament, it doesn't hurt to put it to use."

Lin Yutong generally did not raise objections to Fourth Master's decision. He only said: "When he finds the map, do you really plan to take it out?"

Fourth Master laughed: "If he finds his own share, he will immediately think of how to destroy it instead of taking it out. If Jin Chengan gets the map, his family's life will be really over."

What should we do with useless and hateful people?

As he spoke, the Fourth Master called out to Gui Wu, who was guarding outside, so he came in very quickly.

"You set off tonight and enter the city when the city gate opens. Go back and look at the warehouse..." Fourth Master whispered, "It's okay. No matter what they take, you don't say anything."

Gui Wu responded before turning around and going out.

"You are worried that someone will enter the warehouse and search again." Lin Yutong sighed, "Jin Chengan still doesn't give up."

It's not that he doesn't give up, he always feels that the more chips he has in his hand, the better.

Steaming taro and eating it with sugar is the simplest way to eat it. One person ate half of it and drank two bowls of porridge, and his stomach was almost full.

It wasn't until late in the night that Lin Yutong fell asleep when she suddenly heard the sound of a bird flapping its wings and flying away. She reluctantly opened her eyes and saw that the Fourth Master was indeed coming back from outside.

"I'm sending news again." Lin Yutong turned over and muttered.

The fourth master didn't dare to cover her with a quilt, fearing that the cold air on his body would freeze her. He pulled up another bed and wrapped it around him, and then said: "Tell people to keep an eye on Jin Cheng'an. When the news about Miao Zhuang comes back, he must still be there."

We have to send someone to ask Miao Kai. Without him to lead the way, where can we find Miao Kai?"

Lin Yutong suddenly realized. To put it bluntly, the fourth master didn't look like he wanted to give the treasure map to the other party. What else could he do to reveal such information? It turned out that he wanted Jin Chengan to lead him.

After getting into Fourth Master's bed, I hugged him and fell asleep again. At the end of the day, I didn't forget to promise Fourth Master, "Tomorrow I'll ask someone to make taro and meat for me to eat."

Fourth Master chuckled, patted her gently and fell asleep.

Taoist Master Luoxu is still somewhat famous. It used to be reserved for Prince Heng, but now it has been upgraded and he has become a royal official. And because the queen made a fuss, the emperor had no choice but to invite such a person, so this time, Xu Taoist priest was invited.

When the Taoist priest entered the palace this time, many people were staring at him.

Emperor Yongkang leaned on the soft pillow and took Taoist priest Xu's pulse. Then he frowned and took a deep look at the emperor. Then he looked at the queen and the prince, and then said: "I am overworked and depressed, so I can't sleep peacefully."

"If you work less and rest for a while, the dragon's body will naturally become healthy."

The queen raised her eyebrows. She would not simply think that Liaoxu would tell the truth in front of her and the prince. She didn't want to care about the emperor's dragon body now. But Liaoxu, if he used it well,

There was nothing gained. Didn't it mean that the emperor was overworked and couldn't sleep peacefully? Didn't it mean that he should work less and rest peacefully? In that case, what should we do this morning? She glanced at the prince and said softly: "

You still have to listen to the words of the Taoist Priest. No matter how many and big things are in the court, the dragon body is not as important. According to my concubine, it is better to ask the prince to come over and help you for a while."

As soon as these words came out, cold sweat began to break out on the prince's head. Power is something that cannot be taken for granted. This would be a taboo.

Emperor Yongkang's half-closed eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.

The prince slowly knelt down and said, "I would like to go to the Great Ci'en Temple to pray for my father."

The queen turned back and looked at the prince with his head lowered in astonishment. Who was she planning for? How could he not know good from evil.

Mrs. Gan glanced at the prince, and the prince just raised his head and looked at Mrs. Gan pleadingly. Mrs. Gan sighed softly and whispered: "Ask the prince to go. This is also the child's wish."

The queen almost glared at Mr. Gan.

Lin Fanghua looked around, idly fiddled with the nails in her hands, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the prince is now an adult, and it's time for him to practice. You are still worried about who should be sent to inspect the river affairs. The prince is not the best person.

A good candidate?"

The queen looked at Lin Fanghua, wondering what she meant by helping her so much. But when she turned her head, she saw the prince's face slowly turning pale, and she became wary. She was afraid that Lin Fanghua had no good intentions. She glanced at Gan for help.

, but saw Mr. Gan sitting on the side with his eyes, nose and heart in mind, and no longer spoke.

She couldn't help but feel anxious. She changed her voice and said, "However, filial piety comes first, and the prince's prayers for His Majesty are the top priority. Regarding the river affairs... isn't there Yunyin?"

Mrs. Gan looked at the Queen angrily, this person changed so quickly. He turned around and dared to push Yunyin out.

Several ministers standing in the outer palace looked at each other. When did it become the turn of the women in the inner palace to take care of the affairs of the outer palace?

Although Concubine Chen was waiting in the royal study, with so many ministers coming in and out, no one heard Concubine Chen say even a few words about the government. How could the queen, who was always known for her virtues, be so anxious? Even a small talent dared to do so.

He was gesticulating in government affairs.

Emperor Yongkang waved his hand and asked Taoist Master Xu to go and make a prescription. He turned to look at the prince: "Your sister is from a girl's family. I don't worry about her going out. You'd better go there. The importance of river affairs,

You also know it. Just go ahead and do it. I will give you the right to do whatever is convenient for you. Let’s set off today.”

Jin Yunshun's hands and feet suddenly became cold. It doesn't matter what he wants. If he meets a 'mountain bandit and water bandit' outside the capital, can his life still be his? But the emperor has already said what he said, how can he be allowed to say it again?

He said half a word of no. He kowtowed obediently and said thanks: "My son, I will obey my father's orders."

Emperor Yongkang waved his hands to the queen and the prince, "You go down first. You also heard what Liao Xu said. I am not in serious trouble. Go ahead!"

The queen looked at Mrs. Gan again and saw that Mrs. Gan was still silent and did not speak. Then she lowered her head and slowly withdrew.

Emperor Yongkang's eyes turned around and looked at Lin Fanghua, "Get out too! How can you speak in court affairs?"

Lin Fanghua's face suddenly turned red. She was so embarrassed and angry that she was scolded like a slave in front of Mr. Gan. She wanted to make a few excuses, but she immediately shrank back when she saw the emperor's sinister eyes when he looked over.

After Lin Fanghua also went out, Mrs. Gan took out a soft pillow from under Emperor Yongkang and asked him to lie down flat and feel more comfortable: "In front of outsiders, at least save some face for her."

Emperor Yongkang closed his eyes and said, "Don't mean what you say. If I really want to give her a good face, you won't give me a good face later." After saying that, he didn't care what Mr. Gan thought, and just stood aside.

Taoist priest Liao Xu, who installed the statue, said: "Okay, there are no outsiders in this hall. Come closer and tell me what's going on?"

Dao Liaoxu let out a long sigh: "Your Majesty must also feel that you have suffered the sequelae of a kind of **."

The expression on Emperor Yongkang's face did not fluctuate much: "I did make a rough guess. How about it? Is there any way?"

Taoist Master Liaoxu nodded: "As long as we stay away from that thing, it won't be a problem. Just rest in peace and quiet for two months, and that's almost it."
