Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 123 Why Are You Not Enlightened At All?

"If Niu San's statement that the Evil Resisting Sword is in the City Lord's Mansion is correct, then according to the map, the secret of the Evil Resisting Sword should be hidden in this area."

With Lu Yuan's nod, Wang Mang and Lu Yao were able to act freely in the mansion. Everyone seemed to turn a blind eye to Wang Mang and Lu Yuan. Even Lu Yuan didn't know where they went. Wang Mang and Lu Yao kept walking in the mansion. For a long time, no one was seen.

At this moment, Wang Mang and Lu Yao were standing in the garden of the mansion. Looking at the map, Wang Mang frowned for a moment, making sure that the so-called treasure was either missing, or if there was, it must be in this garden.

"Master, young master, they appear in the study now, and they seem to be looking for something."

"Never mind." Lu Yuan remained expressionless.

"Master, young master, they are in the front yard now, rummaging through things."

"Never mind." Lu Yuan frowned.

"Master, young master and the others are now in the backyard. Many rooms are directly entered, and the backyard is full of chickens and dogs."

"Never mind." Lu Yuan gritted his teeth.

"Master, young master, they left the backyard and are now in the back garden. They have been staying for a long time. It seems that the back garden is their destination."

"It finally stopped." Lu Yuan let out a long sigh of relief, and he couldn't bear to let Lu Yao go on like this in his mansion.

Then Lu Yuan frowned and said, "Do you know what they are looking for?"

"I don't know. It seems to be some kind of treasure. It's muttering, I can't hear clearly."

"Continue to stare." Lu Yuan sighed: "It's too big, I can't control it anymore, by the way, did you find out who the bandits they met before were those? Even my Lu family dared to move, and I was getting impatient ?"

"There is no news yet, but the local bandits and robbers have not made any changes according to the investigation. It should be the thieves from other places. The details will not be confirmed until the news from the scene is sent."

"Well, keep staring." Lu Yuan rubbed his eyes, and said again: "How is Wang Wengui?"

"It was a bit active at the beginning, but now it's a lot quieter, and it's a bit like sitting on the Diaoyutai."

"Sit firmly on the Diaoyutai?" Lu Yuan said playfully, "That's a good word. It seems that the house has been cleaned up."

"Everything is in the master's expectation."

"Who makes us weak? We can't compete with the huge Hedao Yamen Group behind Wang Wengui, and the Chang'an City represented by Wang Laoshi. We can only walk a tightrope like this." Lu Yuan sighed and said: "Keep staring, I'm thinking about something here."

An old man in gray-brown clothes nodded silently at Lu Yuan, and slowly withdrew from Lu Yuan's sight.

Wang Mang and Lu Yao searched around the back garden and looked at each other. Wang Mang said, "Unless we dig three feet into the ground, we won't be able to find it like this. On the surface, there is nothing wrong with this garden, and this place is now a garden. What was it a hundred years ago, who knows?"

"Then what should I do?" Lu Yao said with a sad face, "I was bragging in front of Lu Yuan, I can't lose face in front of him."

"It's this time, why do you still remember the mess with Lu Yuan, is it interesting?" Wang Mang was speechless.

"Interesting." Lu Yao nodded and said, "Don't you know that this is what we women like to do the most?"

"..." Wang Mang.

"What should I do?" Seeing that Wang Mang didn't speak, Lu Yao asked again. Lu Yao was very self-aware, knowing that in front of Wang Mang, his little brain was not enough.

"First of all, let's assume that this is the so-called treasure place. Then we can infer that the ancestors of the Lin family would never hide the evil sword in a place where they cannot be found, so they will never let us dig three feet to find it. The Lin family hides the secret here. It’s definitely not easy after so many years.” Wang Mang analyzed: “This is a back garden now, but we don’t know what it was and what it has become in the past, and how the geographical features here have changed.”

"Then according to what you said, we couldn't find it at all?" Lu Yao said frustratedly.

"No." Wang Mang said with a sly smile: "On the contrary, if the secret is here, then I can tell you that I have found it."

"Found it? How is it possible!" Lu Yao exclaimed, "The two of us have been together all this time, why didn't I find anything?"

If even you can find out, then this so-called secret may not be able to hide long ago, Wang Mang thought.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Mang said, "Do you still remember that we went to the study room before?"

"remember."

"Do you remember what book I read?"

"do not know."

"I'm looking at the history of this mansion." Wang Mang was a little speechless to Lu Yao's honesty, and explained: "Although Xinyang City is not a big city, it has a lot of history, and the City Lord's Mansion in Xinyang City is a thousand-year-old building. Living history, for such buildings, 300 years ago, the Qin Dynasty issued a decree requiring the history of all buildings and cities in the world that are more than a thousand years old, and what I just read in the study is the history of Xinyang City Lord's Mansion."

"Huh? Has the imperial court issued such a decree? The building still has a history?" Lu Yao was confused.

"Of course, you don't even know these things, do you?" Wang Mang blinked.

"I don't know." Lu Yao covered his face.

"Then can you usually study?" Wang Mang looked at Lu Yao.

"Reading...reading." Lu Yao gritted his teeth and decided to slap his swollen face to pretend to be fat.

"Study? Who are you kidding? You don't even know this if you want to study." Wang Mang looked at Lu Yao with disgust.

Lu Yao's face was so red that his ears were hard, and he shouted: "Why are you so annoying, my mother just doesn't study, what's wrong with my mother who doesn't know how to learn?"

"Hey, it's okay." Wang Mang smiled. It was not until a long time later that Lu Yao knew that the decree Wang Mang said and even the history of the city lord's mansion in Xinyang City were one of the few in the entire Great Qin Kingdom. She didn't know about it. Normally, even many so-called scholars who are well-read in poetry and books don't know about it.

"You should tell me where the things are now, right?" Lu Yao looked at Wang Mang bitterly and rolled his eyes.

"The east XZ of the Lin family's possession is indeed hidden. If it was placed thousands of years ago, there would be no hints, and it would be impossible to find it. If it was placed 500 years ago, you might be able to find it by digging three feet. If it was placed 300 years ago, it would be impossible to dig three feet. I can’t find it, but now, it’s really easy to get.” Wang Mang looked at Lu Yao with some complacency.

"Why did this happen?" Lu Yao's curiosity was completely aroused.

"Where is the thing you guess first?" Wang Mang said with a smile, "I can remind you that it is far away in the sky, but it is close in front of you."

"Far in the sky and close in front of you?" Lu Yao raised his eyebrows, pointed at the surrounding flowers and plants, all the scenery said: "Flower? Grass? Courtyard wall? Big tree? Land? Dry well? Sky? White clouds..."

"Forget it, don't guess." Wang Mang was completely speechless, and said directly: "If my guess is correct, the thing should be in the dry well."

"Dry well?" Lu Yao looked at Wang Mang suspiciously.

Pointing to the only dry well in the courtyard, Wang Mang explained: "The dry well in front of you existed thousands of years ago. 500 years ago, it was overhauled here. This dry well is no longer in the newly built garden. 300 years ago, it was overhauled here again. There is no trace of the dry well, but 30 years ago, the garden was renovated and the dry well reappeared."

"But this doesn't prove that the thing is in the dry well, right?" Lu Yao said.

"Why are you not enlightened at all?" Wang Mang was speechless.
