Chapter 257

Capital.

Xiao Yuanshi received the news from northern Xinjiang and the letter from GE Chunyi.

His face sank when he saw the news that Lao Xiao's family had stolen 30000 liang of silver from the bookcase.

There was a surge of anger.

This time, it's not aimed at the old Xiao family, but angry with GE Chunru.

He thought that GE Chunru had prepared thousands of liang of silver for GE Chunyi.

But she even prepared 30000 Liang and valuable jade ornaments.

He called the housekeeper and asked.

Sure enough, GE Chunru sold a lot of porcelain and ancient paintings in the warehouse.

In addition, part of her private house and thousands of Liang taken from him were stuffed into Ge Chunyi.

He did have a lot of savings, but they were robbed by the war and sent by others.

Spend 30000 Liang at a time. His flesh hurts badly.

Key recently, GE Chunru is still preparing a dowry for GE Chunyi and took another 10000 liang from his private house.

Xiao Yuanshi calculated that GE Chunru had to prepare 180 dowries for GE Chunyi. It was tens of thousands of Liang less.

It also supplemented a lot of things in the warehouse, most of her remaining private houses, and the precious jewelry he once gave her.

Ge Chunru told him that there were four shops and houses in Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. What else did he not know?

He couldn't help looking worse. The money spent on her sister-in-law was about to dig up most of the general's savings.

For a real family, more than 100000 pieces are nothing.

But he started as a peasant without a foundation.

It hasn't been a few years since I was promoted to general and transferred to the capital. It's good to have so many.

Buy more dowry for GE Chunyi, and he admitted it.

After all, he got on the boat of the second prince. Ge Chunyi's identity was not enough. Giving more dowry can also make him more face.

But why is Ge Chunyi a waste?

Fortunately, Lao Xiao's family stole the money, otherwise he didn't know that there were so many. Wouldn't it be cheaper for GE Chunyi.

But how did the old Xiao family know that the money was hidden in the bookcase?

He calmly told his confidants, "the plan prepared in Northern Xinjiang can be implemented."

He arranged that someone would take Xiao Dalang to gamble and lose all the money.

Xiao Dalang's Casino in that county is his industry.

It means that the money goes back to his pocket. Ge Chunru's sister and brother won't know yet.

It made him feel better.

But the dissatisfaction with GE Chunru did not disappear.

The confidant nodded respectfully, "yes, I'll arrange it now."

A moment later, Xiao Yuanshi went to an inconspicuous vase in his study.

He reached directly into the vase and took out a picture drawn in animal skin.

Holding the animal skin, he was silent for a while, but he still couldn't help it.

Spread out the animal skin, took out a piece of parchment, and copied all the contents and pictures on it.

Fold the newly copied parchment small, tie it with thread, and then throw it into the humble and worthless vase.

Naturally, his study also has dark spaces.

But what was really important to him was not put in the dark box.

Then he put the hide in his arms and rode into the palace in a carriage.

It has been delayed for too long. It's time to give the treasure map to the emperor.

He was very satisfied. He originally wanted to use this treasure map for great benefits at a critical time.

Now he was forced to take it to calm the emperor's anger.

When the emperor heard Xiao Yuanshi's audience in the palace, he roughly guessed the purpose of the other party's coming today.

After all, ten days ago, Xiao Yuanshi's people just staged a good play to catch the remaining evils of the previous dynasty.

Now I'm afraid I'm going to send a treasure map.

The emperor narrowed his eyes. Xiao Yuanshi was interested and took the initiative to hand in the treasure map, otherwise

However, he didn't see anyone immediately. Instead, he hung out for a while to express his recent dissatisfaction with Xiao Yuanshi.

"Your Majesty, this is what I arrested and searched the remaining evils of the previous dynasty."

After the audience, Xiao Yuanshi took out the treasure map from his arms and handed it in.

The emperor took the picture of the animal skin presented by the eunuch and looked at it.

Let the waiter take the map of the girder and compare it.

After the comparison, his face was very dark.

"Xiao Aiqing, look where the treasure map is. Where is it?"

Xiao Yuanshi was still very jealous. He was unhappy to see the emperor's black face.

He considered one or two and said truthfully: "the minister looks like the other side of Northern Xinjiang."

He came back from the war in Northern Xinjiang, so he is familiar with it.

The emperor sneered, "not just in Northern Xinjiang."

Xiao Yuanshi hardened his head and said, "it looks like the fief of the king of brocade."

The emperor endured the impulse to lift the desk and said calmly, "I look familiar. It turned out to be the fief of King Jin!"

His father is really good.

In the previous dynasty, a number of treasures were hidden by the royal family in advance, which was no secret at the beginning of the Daliang Dynasty.

It is just a legend that the treasure map has been destroyed by the remaining evils of the previous dynasty.

When his father reigned, he was also looking for.

It seems that I got some news that the place where the treasure was hidden was near the North City in Northern Xinjiang, so I assigned all the large area, including the North City, to King Jin as a fief.

What does the emperor want to do? Give the treasure to his precious son for rebellion?

In order to be safe, Xiao Yuanshi said, "it looks like it, but the details have to be checked to be sure."

In fact, he studied the treasure map when he got it, so he was sure that the place of the treasure map was the area of Beicheng.

It's just that it seems that we have to find the treasure according to this treasure map. It's not so easy to get the treasure.

He also thought of the former Emperor.

Was it really unintentional that the first emperor granted the northern city to King Jin as a fief?

Soon he stopped the idea.

The emperor played with the hide. "Is Aiqing the treasure map he just got?"

Xiao Yuanshi thought a little, but he was sure that he was doing it secretly.

So he nodded without changing his face, "yes."

"Good. If I find something on the treasure map in the future, I'll write it down to Aiqing."

It means that I won't talk about the credit now.

Although Xiao Yuanshi knew it well, he was still disappointed.

He replied, "this is what I should do."

The emperor had a better attitude than before, waved his hand, "OK, you go down."

"Yes!" After Xiao Yuanshi retreated, he found that his back was full of sweat.

The emperor became more and more dignified, which made it more and more difficult for people to see his ideas.

Fortunately, he presented the treasure map, otherwise the emperor would be in trouble if he knew he dared to intercept the treasure map in the future.

Soon, a rumor began to spread in the capital.

"Have you heard? When the second prince saw General Xiao's wife and sister, he was shocked and had to marry a concubine."

"I heard that if Ge Chunyi wasn't high enough, the second prince seemed to marry someone as a princess."

"General Xiao's wife and sister are so beautiful?"

"It's said that she's beautiful and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She's no worse than the women from the aristocratic family."

"No wonder even the prince can be fascinated."

"That's also the second prince's good fortune."

These words soon spread to the ears of the second prince.
