Chapter 287

From He Ming's nonsense letter, Gu Xi learned that the situation in the capital is not serious now. After all, Gu Xi has sealed all the places in the tunnel that should be sealed, and those people can no longer use the tunnel.

However, the power of King Fuqing is still some. In addition, the power that Yuan Xiang has managed in the court over the years and secretly cultivated personnel across the country, which has really caused a lot of trouble to the court.

The most troublesome thing among the emperor was the people who went to rescue Ying Chenghuan.

Those people were all dead soldiers, and everyone could take one as one hundred. The skills and decisive and cruel methods made the secret guards around the emperor suffer a great loss. They almost made those people successfully rob Ying Chenghuan several times.

Even though Ying Chenghuan has become a useless man now and is still unconscious, the emperor still dares not let the people of Taiyue Xinguo take him away.

The persistence of those dead men with Ying Chenghuan made King Ye Xichao of Lu became curious. He took some effort to catch a living and used some methods to learn from the dead men who had only one last breath that after Ying Chenghuan was imprisoned, he actually sent a letter to Tai Yue, saying that he already knew what Gu's treasure was and where it was, but he could not take it with his ability, so he asked Tai Yue to send someone to pick him up.

However, before Taiyue came to pick up Ying Xing Chenghuan's people, he encountered that earthquake. That earthquake caused most of the people hiding underground and waiting for the opportunity to sneak into the capital.

These people are now the second batch sent by Tai Yue.

It was the Gu family's treasure again, something suddenly flashed through Gu Xi's mind, but the thing passed too fast and she didn't catch it for a while. Instead, it caused her a headache. She simply stopped exploring it and continued to study it very much.

He Ming's letter also said that Ye Xichao deposed his concubine, imprisoned Yuan in the Royal Temple, and straightened the little concubine. Now he is very affectionate with the little concubine, so that Gu Xi will not think about Ye Xichao anymore.

OK, Gu Xi's mouth twitched violently. Which eye of He Ming knew that she was thinking about Ye Xichao?

The reason why she always mentions Ye Xichao is because she owes Ye Xichao a lot of favors, and feels a little guilty towards him, and doesn't know how to repay the favors.

After all, Ye Xichao saved Gu Xi's life more than once.

There was also something in my mind about the Ning family. It is said that Ning Qi left the book and his whereabouts are still unknown. It is said that the letter left with Ning Qi himself, and the documents that cut off relations with the Ning family, not only signed his name, but also pressed the blood seal.

He Ming mentioned this just to warn Gu Xi that if she meets Ning Qi, she must not pretend to know Ning Qi, otherwise he will lead troops to cut Ning Qi's head.

Yes, the Ning family collapsed. On the third day after He Ming returned to the capital, the Ning family hit the emperor's gun, which made the emperor so angry that he ordered Ning Huo to behead him. All the male members of the Ning clan were exiled to Heijiguan in the extremely cold land.

Women and children were directly exiled to the Taal area in the inner city of Heijiguan as military households and would never leave the Natal area again.

Ning Qi, half a month before the incident happened to the Ning family, had a quarrel with his family and had been persuaded several times, so he left the book and escaped by chance.

The emperor knew that Ning Qi was different from the Ning family, and was a rare good bamboo shoot, so he did not ask Ning Qi to pursue the crime of being Ning's family.

Looking at He Ming's warning and domineering declaration, although Gu Xi disliked him very much, he also raised his lips and felt sweet in his heart.

On the last page of the letter, He Ming also said some plans for his future. He said that he was not at ease with his ancestors and the others to stay in the capital again, so he wanted to take advantage of this time to quell the rebellion and send all of his ancestors and the others to the academy.

When Lan learned that the old lady of the He family was coming to Yongzhou and stayed in the academy for a while, she cheered up and packed up two yards in person, waiting for the He family members to move in.

The day before yesterday, Mr. Chang brought his two apprentices back to the academy. After two days of careful conditioning by Mr. Chang, Lan's condition improved, and even Gu Shi, who had an unbearable abdominal pain, was under control.

Mr. Chang said that Gu Shi had stomach wear and tear and needed careful treatment, otherwise it would be hindered by life.

Lan was very nervous for a long time, and then was frightened and scared for a while before he broke himself. As long as he had a good rest in the future, open his heart and no longer worry and worry, his body would be fine.

When Lan's family cleaned up the yard, Gu Xi finally brought his younger brothers and sisters to lift the foundation stone, but he did not see the so-called treasure.

Gu Xi didn't give up and dug another piece.

Fortunately, after digging through the foundation stone, the soil below was no longer mixed with glutinous rice slurry, so it was easy to dig very well. In a short while, Gu Xi would dig a big hole out.

After clearing the floating soil in the pit, Gu Xi felt that the pickaxe was hindered. When he started to do it, he was careful and quickly cleared the underground things out.

It was a large wooden box, a large wooden box made of very good wood. Even if it was buried underground for more than a hundred years, the wood in the box was still hard and there was no trace of decay, and the entire wooden box was black.

It took another two days for Gu Xi and his brothers to dig out the heavy wooden box. With the help of Gu Yun and Gu Xu brothers, they carried the box out of the ground.

After digging what he wanted, Gu Xi did not forget the promise he had to the old man who had looked at the mountain gate. He first filled in the big hole left after digging out the wooden box, then placed the foundation stone in place, found new soil again, mixed glutinous rice slurry and sealed the dug hole, pried the bluestone slabs on the side, and put them back, and cleaned the old soil piled aside, and then finished it.

Seeing that Gu Xi and his brother were not doing anything randomly, the old men felt relieved and became very interested in the boxes that Gu Xi and the others dug out.

The students and gentlemen in the academy were also very interested and curiously asked the Gu family what was in the box.

The Gu family hadn't even opened the box and looked at it. Naturally, they didn't know what was inside. They just responded vaguely twice, took the big wooden box back to Gu's house, and couldn't wait to find something to pry open the tightly-fitting big wooden box.

The wood in the box was indeed surprisingly good. After Gu Nan and Gu Sheng carefully scrubbed the surface of the box, some places were as smooth and shiny as if painted.

However, the whole box is made of pure natural wood, so I am afraid that I have never even put the simplest anti-moth tung oil on it.

The moment I pried open the lid of the box, a fragrance came to my nose. The edge of the lid of the box that had cracks appeared, and the wood inside was even black.

The fragrance came from the hole that was pried.

"It's agarwood." Gu Yun called out in surprise.
