The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 871
"Master Gu! There are only the three of us here, and I don't need to pretend to be your servant anymore. Since Patriarch Qu has news of the treasure map, I naturally want to find out the situation. The real purpose of the emperor's sending me here , Master Gu doesn’t know about it, does he?”

At this moment, Lu Chen appeared extremely indifferent, completely different from his usual behavior in front of Gu Chengyu.

Qu Huaiyun's eyes wandered between Gu Chengyu and Lu Chen, and he felt that Gu Chengyu's attitude towards Lu Chen was not like that of a master towards his servants.

Gu Chengyu chuckled, "Hehe! Since Mr. Lu wants to listen, then stay!"

He smiled, okay!Anyway, the treasure map has already been obtained, and what Qu Huaiyun said next must have little to do with the treasure map.

Gu Chengyu suddenly had an idea, if Qu Huaiyun wanted to exchange the lives of other members of the Qu clan with the evidence of Liao Cheng's crimes he collected.

Didn't he think about how to deal with Lu Chen after taking the treasure map back?
Now is a good time. He felt that Liao Cheng could not be such a clean and honest official.As Qu Huaiyun said, Liao Cheng must have done a lot of dirty things.

As long as there is evidence of Liao Cheng's crime, when the court sends people down, maybe he can catch a big fish. This is a great achievement!

He didn't know if the emperor would announce the treasure map when he returned to the capital.

If the emperor has other plans, why not announce it?If you want to raise his grade, then you have to be famous, right?

If the emperor concealed the treasure map, what name would he be promoted with?

Besides, there are some flaws in the treasure map, the emperor may not be satisfied with what he brought back.

Then add another Liao Cheng, no!Perhaps more than one Liao Cheng should be able to make up for the emperor's dissatisfaction with him.

Lu Chen has more contacts in the officialdom than him, and there may be officials from the same faction as him in Hejian Mansion.

Gu Chengyu wanted to steal Liao Cheng's criminal evidence before, but it would be inconvenient for him to come forward, and maybe the credit would have to be given to others.

Even if the emperor wanted to pull him a hand, it was impossible for him to take the credit for it.

Compared to handing over half of the credit to others, it is better to give some to Lu Chen.

He still has some understanding of Lu Chen, although each is his master, he is not a despicable villain after all.

What's more, the officials of the Hejian Mansion are not familiar with them, let alone trustworthy.Even if he wanted to prove these crimes to the clear, he would have to spend some more time thinking.

Besides, that old man Xia Qing is not easy to provoke. Didn't he just find a temporary ally by pulling Lu Chen?

As long as Lu Chen is dragged into the water, then the matter will definitely be more than half.

Lu Chen had just stepped into the officialdom, and it was the time when he needed political achievements.Even if the matter is difficult, he doesn't need to worry.

Lu Chen would not let go of such an opportunity, even if he couldn't stand it, the Marquis of Zhan Yuan would naturally take action.

At this moment, Gu Chengyu weighed the pros and cons of this matter, and felt that it was absolutely feasible.

"Patriarch Qu, this is the second son of Marquis Zhanyuan's mansion. The emperor ordered him to come and assist me to bring back the treasure map. If you have anything else to say, just say, Mr. Lu and I are here, As long as you tell the truth what you know, it can be regarded as atonement."

Gu Chengyu deliberately exposed Lu Chen's identity to Qu Huaiyun, just to give Qu Huaiyun a reassurance.

After all, his strength alone is too weak. Who doesn't know that he is from a peasant family?
Qu Huaiyun felt that it was normal for him to have limited abilities, and calling out the name of Marquis Zhanyuan's mansion now should relieve Qu Huaiyun's worries a lot.

Sure enough, Qu Huaiyun's eyes lit up when he looked at Lu Chen.

Just now he felt that Mr. Gu was a bit scheming, so he shouldn't be an ordinary person.

But now with the name of Marquis Zhan Yuan's mansion, maybe the lives of his close relatives can be saved.

Looking at Qu Huaiyun's calculating eyes, Lu Chen frowned deeply.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that he should have been put on by Gu Chengyu.

This Gu Chengyu really knows how to talk about tiger skins, even revealing his identity, and he doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.

"I only have one request, and I think the two adults should be clear about it. I am old, and death is not a pity, so I will not say anything about the bastard. But my two grandchildren, I also ask the two adults to hold their hands high and let them go."

Qu Huaiyun knew that he shouldn't ask too much, he is now a fish on someone else's chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, and he remembered that Qu Huaiyun's two grandsons are not very old, so it's not difficult.

"It depends on the sincerity of Patriarch Qu. As long as you satisfy us, we will naturally consider your request."

Lu Chen came to Gu Chengyu's right hand and sat down, pouring himself a bowl of tea.

"Up to now, I naturally have nothing to hide, I just hope that the two adults will keep their word."

Qu Huaiyun decided to take a gamble, his request was not high.

He figured it out, if all the mistakes made by the Qu clan in the past were found out, the official careers of the other members of the Qu clan would also come to an end, and they might be punished more severely.

Where does he have room to bargain now?It's better to say it obediently and let these two people deal with Liao Cheng.

It just happened to give Qu some time to breathe. If the eldest son still has a chance to stand up, then he has to wait until then, right?
"First of all, when I kidnapped Yi Yuanmin, I knew that the treasure map of Yi Mansion was still in Yi Mansion. The treasure map he had stolen earlier was fake. However, it's hard to say if it's still there now."

Qu Huaiyun looked at the two people sitting at the top, carefully observing their expressions.

When I saw Lu Chen's face change drastically, I thought that the person who stole the fake treasure map in the Yi Mansion that night must be Lu Chen.

It's just that Gu Chengyu's reaction was a bit intriguing. Gu Chengyu smiled slightly, and there was no surprised reaction.

He couldn't help shouting in his heart, this person must have known it long ago.

yes!If the emperor can send such a young official here, it means that this person is definitely not someone who is waiting for nothing.

It's ridiculous that they thought they were stupid before, and they despised him so much, who knew that they were simply playing with them.

"You mean that the treasure map that Yifu lost earlier is fake?"

Lu Chen put down the tea bowl, and he handed over the treasure map yesterday, in order to avoid having long nights and dreams.

He didn't expect that the treasure map was fake, this time he really lost his face.

He didn't get the real treasure map and was fooled by others. Even if he didn't blame him for this matter, he would feel very ashamed.

It would be even more of a joke if that person took the fake as the real one.

Gu Chengyu glanced at Lu Chen suspiciously, Lu Chen quickly coughed lightly, and asked subtly: "Cough! Where is the real treasure map now?"
