Seeing that Xue Yinhuan looked like she was lying, Song Yuanbao asked again: "Did he say anything before he left?"

"No, he just came to ask me for a jar of wine and left."

Song Yuanbao thought, "Can I take the liberty to ask why Mr. Qi likes the wine brewed by Miss Xue?"

Xue Yinhuan no longer hides it, "My biological mother is from Jiangnan. My ancestors used to be a winemaker in the palace. Later, she retired and returned to her hometown and passed on her unique skills in brewing. When she was a child, my mother taught me, and I improved it myself, and the taste may be different from that elsewhere."

Song Yuanbao knew it, "Thank you for solving the problem of answering it."

Xue Yinhuan looked at Zhao Xi without a trace. Seeing that the other party was sitting like a sculpture, she withdrew her gaze, "Young Master Song has finished asking?"

"Uh, yes, I've finished asking." Song Yuanbao nodded, "Tomorrow I'll ask the servants to send the orphan book to the girl."

Xue Yinhuan looked happy, "I'm working hard."

...

Walking out of the Shangshu Mansion, Song Yuanbao looked up at the sky, "It sounds like Mr. Qi is deliberately hiding from us, or not?"

Zhao Xi felt a little regretful that the mechanical beast could not enter the palace. He shook his head when he heard this, "Forget it, go back to the palace to report your life first."

After entering the imperial city, Song Yuanbao returned to Yutang Palace, Zhao Xi went to Qianqing Palace to see Emperor Xi, and truthfully, Mr. Qi left overnight.

Emperor Guangxi frowned when he heard this, "So, did he suddenly leave the capital because the organ beast was exposed?"

"I don't understand the reason, either." Zhao Xi did not dare to make random guesses.

"Arranging the Jinyiwei to investigate immediately." Emperor Guangxi was determined to win, "I must bring this person back without any damage."

"Father..." Zhao Xi said anxiously: "Old Qi is a strange person. He is not someone who is willing to bow his head easily. If we do this, it will probably backfire."

Emperor Guangxi looked at him, "So, Xier has other ideas?"

"My son thinks that the most urgent thing is to find the map of the organs and beasts first. When the news is released, Mr. Qi will naturally appear."

"Really, it should be done, but the map of the organ beast..." Emperor Guangxi suddenly thought of something and called Eunuch Cui in, "Master Xuanwu'an entered the palace to face the holy."

Eunuch Cui whispered: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? I just said a few days ago that the old marquis is forbidden from entering and leaving the imperial city."

Emperor Guangxi really didn't remember it, so he reached out and pinched his eyebrows, "Then let's do it, go and pass on my oral orders and ask the Marquis of Wu'an to hand over the four paintings."

Zhao Xi was confused when he heard this and couldn't help but ask, "Father, what painting?"

"Don't you want the divine weapon map? The map is in Mr. Liu's painting."

Zhao Xi was even more confused, "The map of the magic weapon? In the painting?"

"This matter is a long story." Emperor Guangxi simply said a long story short. "When the Liu family in the Jin Dynasty was destroyed, one person survived. He was Mr. Liu, who later became famous for calligraphy and painting. Mr. Liu learned all his life and embedded the Liu family's divine weapons map into four paintings. Now, the four paintings are in the hands of Mr. Lu, the Marquis of Wu'an."

Zhao Xi had never heard of this secret before, and was shocked at the moment, "Does those maps really exist?"

"Is it true or not, just find out the things."

Before the appearance of the mechanical beast, Emperor Guangxi did not believe in the one-sided words of Mr. Lu at all.

Now, he was full of heart and eyes and wanted to take the Liu family's divine weapon map for himself.

I believe no one of the superiors will be moved by such magical weapons.

...

Eunuch Cui quickly went to the Marquis of Wu'an, but was told that Marquis of Lu was not in the capital, so he immediately turned around.

Emperor Guangxi learned that Lu Feng had left with four paintings, his face looked very bad, "Didn't you ask clearly where he went?"

"I asked one by one." Eunuch Cui replied: "From the old lady to the mates, everyone said they didn't know."

Emperor Guangxi sneered, "Do you don't know, or don't want to say it?"

Eunuch Cui shook his body, "Does the emperor want to arrange someone to find him?"

"Of course I have to find those four paintings. They were asked by the late emperor. They were either from their Lu family. If they dared to keep them privately, they would be a serious crime of treason! Cui Fuquan, go and notify the commander of the Jinyiwei and take people to find Lu Feng back immediately."

Zhao Xi said to stop him, "Father, since you know that the painting is in the hands of the old marquis, we will negotiate with him to let him give up the love. It would be a bit serious to send out the Jinyiwei. The old marquis is not an unreasonable person."

Emperor Guangxi didn't listen and waved his hand, "Don't get involved in this matter. When the painting is brought back, I will send you a message to you to decrypt it."

"My son still thinks it's inappropriate." Zhao Xi insisted on his own opinion. "Emperor Yiwei deals with a major case every time. Old Marquis Lu himself has not committed any crime. If you ask the Jinyiwei to arrest him with great fanfare, it will inevitably cause criticism from the people. At that time, I'm afraid we will find it difficult to end."

"What if he refuses to hand over the painting?" Emperor Guangxi looked at Zhao Xi, "You know Mr. Lu so well? Yes, he is loyal, but he is loyal to the late emperor, not me.

Those paintings were found by the late emperor. How could he give in easily before the map appears? You said, should I let him crack the secret of the map and secretly cast the mechanism beast to rebel, or should I take the initiative and snatch the painting before he hasn't got the map yet?"

These words fully demonstrate that Emperor Guangxi's defense against the Lu family was deeply rooted in the bones.

Zhao Xi realized that nothing he said could not change his father's decision, so he had to shut up and stop persuading him.

...

It is not difficult to find out the whereabouts of Mr. Lu, as the Jinyiwei is dispatched.

A few days later, the commander of the Jinyiwei appeared in Ningzhou with his men.

When Mr. Lu was discovered, he was in a farmhouse on a farm near Heifeng Mountain. The one with him was Mr. Qi who left overnight a few days ago.

Mr. Qi was one of the masters of the organs who left behind the help of Mr. Lu.

The reason why Zhao Xi was able to successfully meet Mr. Qi and that mechanical beast was all set up by Mr. Lu. The purpose was to make Emperor Guangxi believe in the existence of the Liu family's divine weapons so that he could not be hindered from finding the map next.

But Old Marquis Lu made a lot of calculations, but he didn't even count that after Emperor Guangxi learned that the Liu family's magic weapon really existed, he not only did not support him in continuing to investigate, but also asked the Jinyiwei to come and grab the painting.

The commander of the Jinyiwei and Mr. Lu are acquaintances, so they started to do it as soon as they came up and asked politely.

Old Marquis Lu looked at him vigilantly, "What kind of wind blows Commander Yang to Ningzhou?"

Yang Yi smiled, "It's the emperor's oral order."

What else can there be good things in the place where the Jinyiwei appeared?

Mr. Qi was full of resentment, "What, are you planning to rob it openly?"

"If the two seniors are willing to hand over the paintings on their own initiative, the people I bring will not come in handy."

Mr. Qi glared, "Why don't we give it?"

Yang Yi bowed, "Then the envoy can only enforce the law impartially."

They did not commit any crime, so they came to steal people and were in the name of impartial law enforcement?

Mr. Qi's expression became worse.

Mr. Lu was afraid that he would be impulsive, so he reached out to stop him, "Forget it, give them the painting."

"But we..." There was a little sign just now.

Facing the look of Mr. Lu, Mr. Qi had to swallow the second half of his words, turn around and put four paintings into a scroll into a box, and carry them out and hand them to Yang Yi.

Yang Yi took it with a half-smile expression on his face, "Thank you two seniors."

When Mr. Lu saw him handing the box to his subordinates, he reminded him: "The commander is not planning to verify the authenticity? After leaving this door, the two of us will not admit the account."

"No need to test." Yang Yi looked calm, "I believe that the old marquis dare not deceive the king and dare not joke about his family's lives."

Mr. Qi watched the Jinyiwei walk away with a green face. When he turned around, he asked Mr. Lu, "We have found clues to crack the map, why do we still have to give up the painting?"

Mr. Lu said: "Finding clues does not mean finding the final map, and letting them take it away. The emperor will probably find someone who is more capable to crack the mystery."

"A more capable person? Who?"

Old Marquis Lu smiled but said nothing.

Who else can be there?

The only one who has the same treasure appraisal ability as his is Song Wei.

He would not be worried if he handed the painting to his disciple.

...

Emperor Guangxi received four paintings on New Year's Eve, but before Song Wei finished his reunion dinner at home, he brought the people into the palace.

On the way to come, Song Wei had already heard Eunuch Cui explain the reason why Emperor Guangxi summoned him temporarily.

After entering the imperial study room, I saw that four paintings were already hanging side by side.

Emperor Guangxi gave up his rituals and went straight to the topic, "Scholar Song is an expert in this regard. Can you tell whether my paintings are true or false?"

Before today, Song Wei has seen these paintings more than once, and is already familiar with the key points of distinguishing authenticity. He can easily draw a conclusion, "Return to the emperor, they are all authentic."

Emperor Guangxi smiled with satisfaction, "It is said that these four paintings contain the divine weapons maps of the Liu family of the Jin Dynasty. I will give you this task."

Song Wei walked closer and looked at the paintings carefully, turned his head to look at Emperor Guangxi, "I think these paintings are just key clues, and the real map is not in the painting."

He said this, which aroused the interest of Emperor Guangxi, "So, where do you think the map will be?"

Since the last time my master came to him with a painting to decipher, he has been thinking, "The Jin Dynasty has been around for hundreds of years, and the changes in the world have not been small during this period. Those who hide the map must have chosen a place that will not change for hundreds of years, so that future generations can find the exact location based on clues."

Emperor Guangxi couldn't even think of it even if he wanted to break his head. He looked at Song Wei again, "Where?"
