"Want to release the treasure?" Mu Qingshan was also a little curious when he heard the words, since he had nothing to do, so he also went to see Rare together.
The opposite side of the mansion was originally the General's Mansion. Later, the old general was called back to the capital by the imperial court to take care of his old age. The house has been empty for twenty or thirty years. It looks quite big, but because it has been left unattended for many years, it has been looted by bandits and thieves many times. Second, in addition, many rafters and pillars of the house are decayed and dilapidated, which makes people feel extremely dilapidated and dilapidated. Even if there are no rumors of haunting, no one would think of living in it.
"Are you awake?" Shang Yunze was standing at the gate of the compound, watching the craftsmen remove the plaque.
"En." Mu Qingshan said, "I heard from my servant that the castle master bought this general's mansion?"
Shang Yunze nodded, "The artisan will arrive in three days. If everything goes well, it will only take a month or so to complete the repair."
"But Tengyun Fort is located in Cangwu City, and originally had a house and family property." Mu Qingshan was puzzled, "Even the house there is unoccupied, why did the owner of the castle want to buy a new one?"
"Because that house is too far away from the government office." Shang Yunze said, "It's inconvenient to do things."
"So that's how it is." Mu Qingshan praised, "If your lord knows that the castle owner is so dedicated, he will definitely be very moved."
Shang Yunze smiled calmly.
"Can I go in and have a look?" Although Mu Qingshan grew up in Cangwu City since he was a child, he has never entered the General's Mansion.
"Of course." Shang Yunze led him into the house. Since it had been cleaned and water was sprinkled on the ground, there wasn't much dust, but it was still very broken.
"This should be the original study." Mu Qingshan looked up enviously, "It's really big."
Shang Yunze tugged at his hair, "I'll fix a bigger one for you."
"That's not necessary." Mu Qingshan continued to walk forward, "I can't finish reading just the adults' books, and this house is the treasure of the castle owner... By the way, what kind of treasure is it?"
"You really want to know?" Shang Yunze looked at him meaningfully.
Naturally, I thought about it, everyone has curiosity, besides, Mu Qingshan has never seen any valuable treasures since he was a child. But he is a scholar, so naturally he won't force others to do what he doesn't want to do. Seeing that Shang Yunze didn't seem to want to say much, he shook his head, "I'm just asking casually, the castle master can't be blamed."
"No." Shang Yunze smiled, "Sooner or later, I will take you to see it myself."
The two wandered around the house for a while, and then a yamen servant came to look for him, saying that the lord is back, and he needs to find the master and Lord Shang for urgent matters.
Shang Yunze was dissatisfied, "What's the rush?" He was just about to take someone to lunch.
"I'll go and have a look." Mu Qingshan hurried out.
Shang Yunze was dumbfounded, how could he just leave without waiting
The government servants couldn't see the clue, but the disciples in the castle were very clear about the thoughts of their castle master, and there was inevitably a little bit of sympathy in their eyes this time-this master seemed a little dumb, not easy to kidnap.
"My lord." Mu Qingshan stepped into the study, "Are you looking for me?"
"Sit." Wen Liunian nodded and put down the teacup in his hand, "Master Shang bought the General's Mansion opposite?"
"Yes." Mu Qingshan said, "It is said that the baby will be released."
Wen Liunian said, "This treasure must be very valuable."
"That's natural." Shang Yunze leaned against the door and smiled slightly, the meaning in his eyes was very obvious. Like Zhao Yue, he never regarded Wen Liunian as a nerd. Since he is not a nerd, he should be clear about his purpose of buying the house - it would be nice to have more helpers.
Wen Liunian said, "The Lord of the castle should take care of the treasure and don't let others snatch it away."
Shang Yunze glanced at Mu Qingshan, then asked with a smile, "What is your lord looking for me for?"
"I just met a man at the market." Wen Liunian said, "Zhao Yue has gone down the mountain."
"Zhao Yue?" Mu Qingshan was surprised when he heard the words, "For the ten-day appointment?"
"No." Wen Liunian burped, "It seems to be to buy sweet-scented osmanthus cake and scallion pastry."
Mu Qingshan: ...
Shang Yunze glanced at the oiled paper bag on the desk, "Is the taste good?"
Wen Liunian said, "Not bad."
Mu Qingshan: ...
"I wanted to invite the government office, but he refused." Wen Liunian's tone was regretful.
It's right not to come. Mu Qingshan thought silently, he was so angry last time, I wouldn't come if it was me.
Wen Liunian continued, "Although we haven't talked a few words, there is one thing I can guarantee. He must know someone from Mujiazhuang."
"That Miaojiang sect that refines Gu?" Mu Qingshan frowned.
Wen Liunian nodded, "When I mentioned Mu Wanlei, his eyes obviously had emotional fluctuations."
"If this is the case, then things can be tied together." Shang Yunze said, "It is likely that Zhao Yue knows some secrets about Mujiazhuang, and Mu Wanlei wanted to kill people to silence them, so he offered to help suppress the bandits."
"Then why didn't Mujiazhuang take action before?" Mu Qingshan was puzzled, "We have to wait until now."
"Because none of the previous government officials in this boundless city thought of really eradicating the bandits, let alone Teng Yunbao's assistance." Wen Liunian said, "In other words, according to the strength of the Mu Family Village, it should not be enough to restrain Zhao Yue , that’s why he has been standing still. But now if Mu Wanlei hears the news that the government has teamed up with Tengyunbao, and that the sky-shattering artillery dispatched by the court is on the way, he will naturally think that the probability of success has greatly increased. It’s not surprising to come here to share a piece of the pie or take the opportunity to kill someone.”
"The distance between Cangmang City and Mujiazhuang in Miaojiang is not that close." Shang Yunze said, "The trade routes are not well developed, so the news is not well-informed. According to the normal situation, Mu Wanlei shouldn't have heard the news so quickly."
"So it can only explain one thing." Wen Liunian rubbed his chin, "There is an eyeliner from Miao Jiang in this city, who has been staring at Cangwu Mountain."
Mu Qingshan's back was a little numb - he hated all kinds of caterpillars, spiders, grasshoppers and moths since he was a child. Although he will not be afraid when he grows up, he will still detour when he sees them, let alone the so-called Gu insects.
It is enough to think about it.
"It seems that there should be some unsettled accounts between Mu Wanlei and Zhao Yue." Shang Yunze said, "Who do you want to help?"
Wen Liunian said, "Of course it's Zhao Yue." It really doesn't matter at all.
Mu Qingshan also agrees with this choice. One has a pale face all day long and raises poisonous insects at home, while the other is called a bandit, but he is very principled in his work. Even when he sees an adult alone, he can resist beating him. He is a treacherous and evil person.
"Your Excellency, you can edit a book and send it to the Shadow Chasing Palace." Shang Yunze said, "Palace Master Qin may know Mu Wanlei better than I do."
"There's no need to revise the book." Wen Liunian said, "It's faster to ask in person."
"Master Qin Palace is coming?" Mu Qingshan and Shang Yunze asked in unison.
"No." Wen Liunian shook his head, "But Palace Master Qin sent his subordinates here."
Shang Yunze's expression froze, what do you mean by "sending subordinates" here
"Master Shang is not feeling well?" Mu Qingshan was concerned, his face turned pale.
Shang Yunze calmly said, "When will the people from Shadow Chaser Palace come?"
"Just these few days." Wen Liunian said, "I received a letter earlier, but I was too busy and forgot to tell the Castle Master about it."
How can such a thing be forgotten! Shang Yunze took a deep breath, then turned and walked out, "Suddenly remembered that Tengyunbao still has something to do, let's go first."
"Castle Master, go slowly." Wen Liunian said loudly, "I have to go to Aunt Zhang's house in the west of the city with Master in the afternoon, so I won't see you off."
Shang Yunze stopped suspiciously, "Who is Aunt Zhang?" Why do you have to emphasize it once.
Wen Liunian replied, "A matchmaker in the city."
Shang Yunze: ...
Mu Qingshan also seemed a little puzzled, "Why do you want to go to Aunt Zhang's house, but there is a new case?"
"Go and see if there is any good girl waiting to marry." Wen Liunian stroked the non-existent mustache - he learned this gesture from his husband, and thought it was very majestic, and he never changed it.
Mu Qingshan wondered, "My lord wants to get married?"
Wen Liunian looked at Shang Yunze and said, "It's not my official."
Lord Shang took a deep breath, trying to make himself look happy, "Leave the affairs of the castle to others, I'd better stay in the government office."
"Very good, very good." Wen Liunian pointed casually, "It's time for Hu Zi to get married, let's go see if there is any good girl."
The yamen servant who was pointed at was flattered, and hurriedly bowed violently!
One of my mother-in-law went to accumulate virtue, and after a long time, she turned out to be talking about herself.
What a thrill to have grown-ups go find a matchmaker in person.
On Chaomu Cliff, Lu Zhui was slightly surprised, "Mu Wanlei?"
"I knew it." Zhao Yue sneered, "He has never given up."
"Then what is the master going to do?" Lu asked.
Zhao Yue put the wine glass heavily on the table.
"I have a suggestion." Lu Zhui helped him pour the wine.
"What suggestion?" Zhao Yue asked.
Lu Zhui replied, "Cooperate with the government."
Zhao Yue frowned upon hearing this.
"This is the best way." Lu Zhui said.
Zhao Yue thought of Wen Liunian's smiling face again.
"Let's think about it again, Master." Lu Zhui said, "It happens that the government and Tengyun Fort are both here this time, and maybe we can also add Shuying Shadow Palace. The situation is actually in our favor."
"How can you be sure that the government will believe us or not Mujiazhuang?" Zhao Yue asked.
"This kind of thing, as long as you have a little brain, you can think of it. Besides, Mujiazhuang has always been notorious in the world. Even if Wen Zhifu doesn't know about it, Lord Shang will remind him." Lu Zhui said.
Zhao Yue nodded, raised his head and drank a glass of wine.
