Vol 5 Chapter 29: Know everything (one more)

Seeing Cheng Gu, Su Fengnuan was really knowledgeable about current affairs. He was sincere and respectful in his words, and his attitude was extremely low. He didn't have the wandering style when he was looking for him in Xiangnan City Yexi that day. I wonder if such a talented person can be kept for his own use?
She turned her head and glanced at Ye Chang.
Ye Chang smiled and said quietly, "Old Cheng, I am very curious that Hua Zhuxiu has been handed over to Uncle Xiao Guo. What is your purpose?"
When Cheng Gu saw Ye Chang's first words, he asked him this question straightforwardly. He thought that this question could not be answered well, and he was afraid that he would have no way to survive. After all, Hua Zhuxiu was related to the secret case of the agency, Xu Yunchu's life, and also related to the life and death of the Guozhang's mansion. From this it can be seen whether he can let Ye Shizi be merciful.
He quickly turned around in his mind, and hurriedly said, "Ye Shizi, Miss Su, sit in the room and talk! Since the old man had agreed to what Ye Xiong said that day, as he came to the West, he knew it well. Infinite preparation without words."
Ye Chang nodded, "Okay."
The three of them entered the house, Ye Chang, Su Fengnuan, and Cheng Gu took their seats.
Cheng Gu said to Ye Chang, "Three years ago, the old man was controlled, and the lives of everyone in the Cheng family were held in their hands. In desperation, the old man left the capital and entrusted Hua Zhuxiu to Yun Chu. First, because the situation of the Cheng family is in potential danger, I don’t want the hard-working Hua Candle Show to be ruined. Second, no one has the ability to take over the Hua Candle Show, so I handed it over to Yun. early."
Ye Chang said, "But although you handed Hua Zhuxiu to him, you didn't tell him the secret of the secret secret road hidden in it."
Cheng Gu sighed, "The old man has long been under the control of others, and the secret roads of the government have involved a lot of relationships, so I dare not tell him, lest he may be implicated, and the Guozhang Mansion. After all, the relationship between the Guozhang Mansion and the royal family was really ice and fire three years ago. If you can't make it right, it will be a disaster. Three years ago, Yunchu had not yet entered the dynasty, and the governor's office was still headed by the governor.
Ye Chang nodded and said, "But three years later, the secret road case of the government was taken advantage of, which implicated him and the mansion of the Guozhang, and almost caused his death to the secret road of the government, and almost made the mansion of the national government overwhelmed. Have you ever thought about it. ?"
Cheng Gudao, "The old man is arrogant and talented, and the people behind him are very courteous to the old man. I didn't expect that after three years, the old man would be restrained everywhere, controlled by others, obeyed by others, and controlled by others. Therefore, I am sorry for the old man to say it. I didn't think about it. I thought that the Guozhang Mansion had deep roots and couldn't move it easily, and no one could shake it. Unexpectedly, he used Lingyi to harm the world son you and Miss Su, while also pulling Yunchu into the water."
Ye Chang looked at him and said, "But even if he does this, you can't help but serve him."
Cheng Gu sighed deeply, "In the past, the old man only knew the tip of the iceberg. Later, as one after another happened, the old man knew a lot, and he was stuck in the quagmire and couldn't get out of it. He didn't help him. So what? The lives of thousands of people in the Cheng family have already been held in the hands of others. I am a fish with a knife."
Ye Chang said, "I heard my cousin said that when Mr. Cheng was in southern Hunan, he had the idea of ​​breaking the net with him? Why didn't he break the net with the mermaid over the years?"
Cheng Gu said, "The roots of his involvement are deeper than the roots of the Guozhang Mansion's involvement in the capital. I am struggling to die for a fish, and I am afraid I will only die. I can't break the net. How can I talk about the death of the fish and the breaking of the net? In southern Hunan, the son of Ye Xi went to Jiebao, which is not to be compared."
Ye Chang said, "Cheng Lao's things are very powerful, but anyone with ambitions dreams of it, I don't understand why he didn't keep you by his side for his own use, but instead sent you to the East?"
Cheng Gu said, "The sky is high in the east, and the emperor is far away, making it easy for the old man to develop things. The elder son must have seen him too. The old man’s things are very powerful. During the development, many trials will cause great changes. If there is no safe secret The ground cannot be developed. In addition, sulfur, saltpeter and other materials are also divided into textures. There is one in the east, and saltpeter has the best texture."
Ye Chang said, "So, the master behind you let King Xiangjun discover your value and invited you to the East?"
Cheng Gu nodded, "The King of Xiang County has ambitions. Since the birth of the Bauhinia county lord, he asked the emperor to ask for a barren mountain as a fief, and he secretly recruited troops and built a weapon storehouse. And my talent for weapon development was exactly what he needed. "
Ye Chang said, "The crossbow arrows that I used to intercept and kill my foreigners must be yours?"
Cheng Gu nodded, "Yes."
Ye Chang said, "Now three years later, why did the King of Xiang County kill you? Is it because you know you have a master behind it, or for other reasons? You went to the east this time and brought these things to do with him. ?"
Cheng Gudao, "The king of Xiangjun never knew that there was a master behind me, so he treated me very politely and respected me as a sir. But because of the secret road case of the agency, the master will do everything to kill you and Miss Su, and he will also drag the government office Into the water. Shizi, you have found out the Huazhuxiu, the King of Xiangjun is not stupid. My Huazhuxiu and Yuegui Concubine’s remodeled imperial palace secret road was used to kill you and Miss Su. It can be seen that he was wearing a pair of pants. The King of Xiangjun got the news. Later, I learned about the internal situation, but I had already heard the news at that time, and I left the East Territory secretly with the things I developed. Therefore, he failed to kill me in the East Territory, and I, in order to get back to his hands He took these things to negotiate with him. In Xiangnan, I really did not expect that Young Master Ye Xi and Miss Su would go robbing the darts."
Ye Chang said, "Just to change back to the black account?"
Cheng Gu looked at Ye Chang, not daring to hide it, and said truthfully, "In addition to changing back to the black account, I also asked for one thing."
"Huh?" Ye Chang looked at him, "What is it."
Cheng Gu said, "Half the treasure map."
Ye Chang raised his eyebrows, "What treasure map?"
Cheng Gu took out from his arms a piece of parchment that was wrapped with three layers of juan cloth. Obviously, the parchment was only half of it, and it seemed that it was divided into two halves in the middle. He carefully handed it to Ye Chang, "It's this, it is said to be the treasure map of the previous dynasty."
Ye Chang reached out and took it. There was nothing but a piece of parchment. He handed it to Su Feng Nuan beside him.
Su Fengnuan stretched out his hand to take it, fiddled with it, and said to him, "It's the same as that picture album, sealed with special materials."
Cheng Gu said, "It is the pattern hidden by the special material."
Ye Chang said to Su Feng warmly, "You let it show up now, I want to see what kind of treasure map this is, and what good things have been left in the past."
Su Fengnuan nodded, spread the parchment paper on the table, reached out his arms, took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out the powder, and sprinkled it on the parchment paper.
Cheng Gu said, "The old man also let it be revealed, but unfortunately there is only half of it, and I can't see the whole thing. The other half is in the hands of the King of Xiang County."
Ye Chang said to him, "Where did you get this thing?"
Cheng Gu said, "It was my master who asked Shen Zhilan to give me a few days ago, so that when I was in southern Hunan, I would find the king of Xiangjun to change the other half. The king of Xiangjun has spent countless efforts in the past three years to help me develop the firearm. I don’t want to buy a bamboo basket. If I give him these firearm molds, he can rush to produce them in large quantities. For him, this is more important than half of the treasure map. If you really trade with him, maybe he will give it. ."
Su Fengnuan said, "Speaking of which, if our guess is right, your master is the prince who has experienced the dual status of the prince and the deceased prince, and now has the third identity, right?"
Cheng Gu handed over, "Shi Zi and Miss Su are extremely clever, it is him."
Su Fengnuan asked, "Where did his thing come from? Do you know?"
Cheng Gu shook his head, "Shen Zhilan didn't say, only that this was the treasure map of the previous dynasty. Let me keep it carefully. In any case, I must complete the task assigned by the prince. Otherwise, don't expect the life of the Cheng family. The prince will be merciful."
Ye Chang laughed sarcastically, "He threatened people, but he has a good idea. Knowing that you value the lives of everyone in the Cheng family is holding your weakness."
Cheng Gu sighed deeply, "I am tired of the Cheng family in this life, but I can't let go of the Cheng family who gave birth to me and raised me."
Ye Chang said, "For the sake of the family, to achieve this point, Cheng Lao can be regarded as a respectable person."
Cheng Gu hurriedly said, "The old man is ashamed, and the son is overwhelmed."
Ye Chang looked at him and said, "Originally, after seeing those firearms, I thought that people like Cheng Lao should not live in this world. Now I respect you for your knowledge of current affairs, and second respect for your family. Respectful, the third is for the face of Uncle Xiaoguo. Since you care about your family and don't mean to hurt him, I don't want your life."
Cheng Gu also looked at Ye Chang, seemingly not knowing what to say for a while.
Ye Chang continued, "However, Cheng always understands people. You should know that whether it is you, the firearm, and the things you are involved in, it will fall into my hands when it comes to my hands. No matter who it is, no matter who it is. Be sure to vent a little bit to me. No matter who started, it is the end when you come to me."
Cheng Gu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, and closed it again.
Ye Chang didn't seem to see his hesitating expression, and said, "If I guess these firearms are good, they probably haven't been given to the prince after you develop them. Otherwise, you would rather die. I don’t dare to follow my cousin to the West. I have this trust in my hands. I think for a while, not as a last resort. The eldest prince should not act on the Cheng family until he gets something."
Cheng Gu heard the words and said, "The elder son was right. After the old man developed these things, he couldn't wait to find the Xiangjun king to exchange them. The eldest prince took the lives of my Cheng family. Without a black account, he could kill my people. Therefore, I am not afraid that I will not give it to him, so I feel very relieved. It is precisely because of this that Master Ye Xi and Miss Su have a chance to go to Hunan."
Su Fengnuan smiled upon hearing the words, "So the time for me and brother to go to Xiangnan is just right?"
Cheng Gu nodded, "Exactly."
