Chapter 152: Assassinated Again
"So what Bai Jinyu found last night is very likely related to this matter. If it is told, they may not be able to get the map." Gu Qingyun said again, thinking of Bai Jinyu last night, and said with understanding, "If they are really tomb robbers, it is not surprising that they are targeting the Dali Temple."
The Dayan Dynasty has always been about respecting ancestors and the wisdom of their ancestors. They have never been willing to accept these tomb robbers, and would kill any tomb robbers they found.
Although selling cultural relics is not illegal, it is a different matter if it is tomb robbing.
If a tomb robber is caught red-handed, the stolen goods will be confiscated.
Emperors of the Dayan Dynasty and even before that believed that this was a treasure left to them by their ancestors and that they should not be disrespectful to the dead in this way.
For example, the artifacts that Tang Mingde handed over to the Dali Temple last time, because he stole them, these things were all good things with names and surnames.
Therefore, there is no need to confiscate it and keep it in the Dali Temple. It can be sold in the future or whatever. As long as it was not taken by tomb robbers, it doesn't matter.
But the utensils obtained by tomb robbers are different. If they are sold to others, it doesn’t matter if they become the treasure of this family.
But tomb robbing is strictly prohibited.
In fact, many ministers and imperial advisors believed that this would bring down the wrath of God.
"And that kid just now said he saw his father. Could it be that he really is reborn?" Zhao Huaiqing deliberately lowered his voice, trying to scare the other two.
But the two men didn't care at all, "How could it be a resurrection of the dead? I guess it's just that the person's body shape or some similarities are similar." Wu Huan said.
"That's possible, but it's also possible that someone is pretending to be his father." Gu Qingyun said again.
A few people nodded, unwilling to explore the reason.
Wu Huan drew all the tomb maps, and then several people pieced the wooden boards together.
This wooden board was made very cleverly, and from the front it even looked like a picture frame. Everyone had seen it during this period, and they all thought that Zhao Ping had deliberately carved a frame-like border.
But in fact, the front board is inlaid on the back board, and the back board has four sides, like a small tray. The front board is seamless after being pressed in, leaving only a shallow mark. Zhao Ping also carved a circle of borders on the edge, which makes it look natural.
"Lord Zhao is also a genius." Zhao Huaiqing exclaimed.
The few people put the wood carving away and walked out of the Zhao Mansion.
They should have said hello to Madam Zhao, but Madam Zhao and they had almost become hostile to each other during this period of time. Since there was no need to offend her, they let the servants know and left the Zhao Mansion.
"So the person who disturbed the crime scene is most likely not the buyer, but someone who came here because of its reputation and wanted to take a look at the tomb map." Wu Huan said.
Zhao Huaiqing also said, "If that's the case, then this picture is probably well-known in the martial arts world. There may be many people watching here every night, fearing that something will be leaked. In that case, the person who poisoned last night may not be the buyer."
"Yes, now this map has become a hot commodity and a target of public criticism. But if we want to find out who has the map, we can't take it back to the Dali Temple or report it." Gu Huaiqing looked at the Zhao Mansion that was thrown far behind him and muttered, "I even feel that someone in the Zhao Mansion is coveting this map."
"What should I do then?" Mrs. Zhao's face immediately appeared in Zhao Huaiqing's mind, and he was stunned for a moment.
"We can't do anything. If the bait is taken away, the fish won't take the bait. But if the bait is there, with so many forces around, I guess... we should just wait and see." Gu Qingyun smiled, "Let's go back and see how Bai Jinyu is doing."
Maybe Bai Jinyu is lucky. Although she hasn't woken up yet, her complexion looks much better.
"It shouldn't be anything." Gu Qingyun looked at Bai Jinyu, and led the doctor who was pulled back halfway forward.
"I think Mr. Bai is fine. If he still can't wake up within three days, give him some sugar water. Hopefully he can survive this." The doctor felt his pulse and made a conclusion. "Fortunately, this kid is smart and took some pills to protect his heart. Otherwise, with that dosage, not to mention a human, even a wild boar might die."
Only then did they feel the reality. Originally they said the dosage was large, but they didn't know how large it was.
Only now did I feel that Bai Jinyu was truly blessed with a great fortune.
"How about this, I will secretly take him back tonight in a carriage." Gu Qingyun thought about it and made the decision. If he was left in the Dali Temple, not to mention Xinhai, even the clerks in the Dali Temple would have to take turns to guard him, and it would not be safe even if he was brought back home.
Although the Dali Temple is heavily guarded, the Gu Mansion is a private residence and is inhabited by important figures. The princess alone has many secret guards who have been raised since childhood, and the secret guards have raised the next generation of secret guards.
The ruler of this imperial city is her nephew, and this nephew has only one aunt left in Kyoto Prefecture. If he dies for these reasons, then this filial piety will be reported to the ministers.
The others had no objection and all said yes.
It is true that the family affairs of several people pale into insignificance compared to those of the Gu family.
Bai Jinyu was also a branch of the Huizhou Bai family, but due to the long distance from the Huizhou Bai family, he was just a concubine's son of a branch and did not receive much care.
It is sad to say that many people who have achieved success come from a few major families. Those who have done well have become high-ranking officials of the first or second rank, and this branch is no longer a branch.
Even those who do not do well can easily stand out. Ordinary families do not have enough money to send every child to school, so few people can go out.
Even gifted children may not be able to succeed because they do not have the opportunity to go to school.
……
As night fell, Gu Qingyun took a carriage home, and Xinhai and Bai Jinyu stayed in the carriage.
Sure enough, as soon as he walked out of the alley, he saw countless small arrows rushing towards the carriage. Gu Qingyun realized something was wrong and drove the carriage forward with all his might.
Fortunately, his home was not far from the Dali Temple, and with the protection of two people, Bai Jinyu was not hurt at all.
"Oh, young master, what happened?" The butler was stunned when he saw that half of the carriage was covered with arrows.
How could someone be so bold as to assassinate their young master in the street?
But Gu Qingyun knew that it was his life experience that saved his life. When those small arrows flew towards him in layers, his position was obviously the best to hit, but those arrows tried their best to avoid him and went straight into the carriage.
These people's goal from the beginning to the end was only platinum jade.
I really don't know what Bai Jinyu found last night that deserves such attention.
Gu Qingyun pulled out the arrow and took a look. He wondered if someone had forged a weapon privately or...
It was obvious at a glance that these were arrows used by the imperial guards. Despite such strict management, these parasites were still able to resell them without leaving any trace.
