Chapter 72 Jade Pendant Map
With Zhou Qian's introduction, Feng Liangyu has started working at Chen Ruotong's Zhenpin Pavilion. His main job is to run errands, deliver goods, and pass on messages to Chen Ruotong if there is anything.
It happened that the glass products of Zhenpin Pavilion were sold out, so Feng Liangyu went back to Chen's house to ask Chen Ruotong for the goods. When he arrived at the gate of Chen's house, he found that the gate was open. After entering the gate, he searched every room, but there was no trace of Chen Ruotong.
He felt something was wrong, and then he saw some unfinished cakes on the big stone table under the peach tree, with a few pieces dropped on the ground. He had a bad feeling, so he ran towards Zhishan Academy.
At this time, it was break time, Qiao Zien and several classmates were discussing problems encountered in class. The doorman came over to report that something happened at home and asked him to go back immediately. Qiao Zien ran out of the door in a hurry without asking for leave from the teacher.
Feng Liangyu said anxiously, "Mr. Qiao, the fourth young master is missing. I saw a few pieces of cakes on the stone table fell to the ground. Something must have happened to the fourth young master. Let's go back and check!"
The two ran back to Chen's house. Qiao Zien asked Feng Liangyu to stay at home to look after the house, and he headed north based on the footprints in the yard.
He came to a dilapidated house and observed carefully, and found several men in black in the yard. He knew that Chen Guchuan must have been captured by the remnants of the previous dynasty.
I wonder how he is now? With his skills, he will not be in danger. Therefore, he put his mind at ease, took out his embroidered spring knife, jumped into the yard and fought with the man in black.
Chen Ruotong heard the sound of weapons colliding in the house and knew that someone was coming to rescue him. So she ran to the door, gently pushed it open, and saw a dozen men in black besieging Qiao Zien.
Chen Ruotong was afraid that Qiao Zien was young and lacked physical strength and would not be able to defeat them, so she opened the door, ran to the yard, and shouted loudly: "Come here, come and kill me..." Four or five men in black ran towards Chen Ruotong.
Chen Ruotong took out a large bag of chili powder from the space and sprinkled it on the people. They covered their eyes and coughed.
Chen Ruotong took advantage of the situation and ran over to take several people into the space. The others fought with Qiao Zien while looking towards Chen Ruotong. They were surprised to find that everyone touched by Chen Ruotong disappeared.
So, they all stood there in a daze, and in that moment of daze, Qiao Zien swung his embroidered spring knife, and like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, he cut their throats one by one, and they died.
Chen Ruotong and Qiao Zien walked into the house together, and she suddenly disappeared. Qiao Zien knew that she had entered the space.
Chen Ruotong entered the space, tied up Yang Zhanliang, Yang Song and the five men in black, and stuffed towels in their mouths. After everything was ready, she took them out of the space and threw them on the ground. When those people woke up, they were dumbfounded. They didn't know why they were tied up like this, and how they were tied up? But they had no idea at all. It was really like seeing a ghost!
At this time, Feng Liangyu brought Zhen Yu and Wei Bufan to the yard. Seeing the bodies of the men in black in the yard, they immediately went into the house and saw Chen Ruotong and Qiao Zien standing aside. Seven people were tied up and lying on the ground.
Chen Ruotong said, "Master Zhen, you came really quickly. How did you know I was here?"
Zhen Yu said, "I went to Chen's house to look for you. Your servant said that you and Mr. Qiao might be in danger, so I asked him to bring me here."
Chen Ruotong glanced at Feng Liangyu and thought: He is really a good tracker. He can even follow me to such a remote place.
"Yes, these guys named Yang caught me and asked me for the fan box. Fortunately, Qiao Zien arrived in time, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to see the sun tomorrow!"
Yang Zhanliang, the aloof and arrogant young man, was captured by Chen Ruotong in this way.
Feng Liangyu went to the street and asked the patrolling yamen runners to help him lift the bodies on the ground onto the cart and escort the seven people to the yamen.
Prefect Zhang looked at the men, not knowing what was going on. Chen Ruotong said, "These men kidnapped me."
When Magistrate Zhang heard this, he was shocked. Under his rule, people were kidnapped in broad daylight. Did they think he was a sick cat because he was a tiger that didn't show its power? So he immediately put the seven people in jail.
Zhen Yu and Wei Bufan personally interrogated them. No matter how they were tortured, Yang Zhanliang and Yang Song refused to say a word and only wanted to die.
Zhen Yu and Wei Bufan were also tired, so they came out to have tea with Prefect Zhang.
Chen Ruotong and Qiao Zien did not leave, but sat with Magistrate Zhang and talked about their thrilling experience today.
So everyone drank tea and talked about things together. Chen Ruotong said, "They are undoubtedly the remnants of the previous dynasty." Then he took out the gold and wooden plaques of the two people, both of which had the word Yang on them.
Chen Ruotong said: "The young man surnamed Yang in blue asked me for the box containing the fan, and I lied to him that there was a treasure map in the box. In other words, the fan that Hong Xianzhi got was useless, and the real treasure map was in the box. I will go back to get the box and give it to you, and then I will feel at ease, so that you won't come to assassinate me all the time, which makes me restless and always worried!"
So, she and Qiao Zien returned to Chen's house. Chen Ruotong entered the space, took out the box, and the two returned to the yamen together.
Chen Ruotong handed the box to Zhen Yu, who opened the box in front of everyone. There was nothing inside except a crescent-shaped jade pendant.
Chen Ruotong pointed at the jade pendant and said embarrassedly: "At that time, I thought this jade pendant was very beautiful, and I was reluctant to sell it to Hong Xianzhi together with the fan, so I asked Qiu the silversmith to make an identical jade pendant for me to hang on the fan. But this one is really mutton-fat jade, and that one is fake, not as good as this one. I guess this jade pendant is related to the treasure map, and it may be the key to unlock the treasure. That's what I thought at the time. So I exchanged the jade pendants. Hong Xianzhi should not have discovered it. If he did, he would definitely come to find me, hehe..."
Zhen Yu laughed out loud: "Haha, Mr. Chen Si is really a smart guy, maybe he really hit the jackpot by accident?"
As he spoke, he opened the box. There was a layer at the bottom of the box, and inside the layer was a piece of silk with a map drawn on it. There was a big red circle marked on the area of southern Xinjiang. It was probably where the treasure was hidden.
Zhen Yu said, "Mr. Chen Si has done a great thing. If it is really a treasure map, then if we find the treasure, the treasury of our Daliang Dynasty will be abundant, and we will have enough confidence. I have to return to the capital immediately to report to the emperor. Mr. Chen Si should just wait for the emperor's reward, hahaha..."
When Chen Ruotong heard about the reward, her eyes sparkled: "Really? Master Zhen, what can you reward me with? I'm really looking forward to it!"
Zhen Yu said: "I don't know about that. It depends on what title the emperor gives."
Zhen Yu and Wei Bufan took the map and crescent jade pendant into the cell and showed them to Yang Zhanliang. Yang Zhanliang had never seen the map and jade pendant before, but his surprised look had already told Zhen Yu the answer he wanted. The map and jade pendant were what the remnants of the previous dynasty were looking for, so they should be real!
