When Ye Zhen returned home, she did not dare to reveal any news about Mo Rongzhan. It was not because her father did not like him, but because if he appeared in the capital as Mo Rongzhan, it would be difficult for him to do anything in the future. New Dagger Strange Chinese Novel
"Miss, the emperor …" Hong Ying was the only one who knew who Ye Zhen met tonight. She glanced at Hong Ling outside and wanted to ask Ye Zhen about it with concern.
"Don't say it." Ye Zhen stopped her in a low voice. "Just pretend you didn't see anything."
When Hong Ying heard the girl say so, she nodded and agreed.
After washing up, Ye Zhen sent both maids away. She took out the map hidden in the medicine box and looked at it carefully by the light. Since she got this kind of map, she had not looked at it carefully. She had no idea where the so-called treasure house was.
This did not seem to be an ordinary map. She once went out to sea with Huang Fuchen and saw Zhao Tianji's nautical map. This map looked like a nautical map.
How could it be a nautical map? Did Ye Yisong and Cao Lei hide the tax money on the island? But it has been so many years. Why didn't he transport the tax money back to the Jin Kingdom before Mo Rongzhan was beheaded by Mo Rongzhan? At that time, Mo Rongzhan was just a powerless little prince, while Mo Rongzhan was the most powerful man in the world. Even the former emperor had to be courteous to him.
Unless Mo Rongzhan remembered that there was no nautical map at all. But if Cao Lei had a nautical map, why didn't he take the money?
Ye Zhen's mind was racing.
Although she did not know Cao Lei, how could a pirate who colluded with Mo Rongzhan be any better? Mo Rongzhan was also not a good person. It was impossible for them to hide the tax money for so many years without doing anything. The only explanation was that they had no way to get the tax money.
If the nautical route was in Cao Lei's hands, what would Mo Rongzhan have in his hands?
Maybe Ye Chun knew the answer.
Ye Zhen's eyes lit up slightly. She sewed the map into her pouch so that she could carry it with her.
On the other side, Wu Chong had taken Bai Ziqi out of the Shen family and came to the inn under the cover of the night.
"Master Mo, he fainted again," Shen Yi whispered to Mo Rongzhan.
"Shen Yuexuan tortured him." Mo Rongzhan frowned and glanced at Bai Ziqi on the ground. "Treat his wounds first."
Wu Chong carried Shen Yuexuan and placed him on the soft couch. He applied some simple medicine to his wounds and said, "Master Mo, they're all external injuries. His muscles and bones aren't injured."
It seemed that Shen Yuexuan didn't want Bai Ziqi's life.
"We've also discovered something else. There's a basement in the Shen family's ancestral hall, and underneath it is the mourning hall for Lin Zhanhong's ancestors," Shen Yi whispered to Mo Rongzhan.
Mo Rongzhan wasn't surprised. He had begun to suspect Shen Yuexuan's identity not long ago. Now, he just confirmed his suspicions.
"Did anyone from the Shen family discover that you rescued Bai Ziqi?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
"That ancestral hall is quite remote. Shen Yuexuan definitely didn't expect that someone would go to save Bai Ziqi," Wu Chong said.
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly. He believed that it wouldn't be long before Shen Yuexuan found out and knew that his identity had been exposed.
It didn't take long for Bai Ziqi to wake up. He opened his eyes and saw Mo Rongzhan. "Who are you?"
"Bai Ziqi, do you still remember Lin Maoping?" Mo Rongzhan sat down on the armchair and looked at Bai Ziqi with his dark eyes.
Lin Maoping and Bai Ziqi's faces suddenly changed, and they looked at him sharply. "Who are you?"
"A person who can redress the grievances of you and Ye Rongquan," Mo Rongzhan said lightly. "Lin Maoping rescued you at the beginning because he wanted you to kill Cao Lei?"
Bai Ziqi struggled to sit up and his eyes kept looking at Mo Rongzhan. "How do you know so many things?"
Shen Yuexuan arrested him and tortured him day and night, but he could still keep a straight face. However, for so many years, it was the first time that someone mentioned Lin Maoping in front of him. No one ever knew that Lin Maoping was his savior, and no one knew his purpose of becoming a pirate.
Mo Rongzhan looked at him with deep eyes. "Ye Yisong and Lin Zhanhong colluded and used Cao Lei to transport a large amount of tax money. Ye Rongquan knew about the business between them and was slandered for corruption. Lin Maoping was ordered to investigate the case, but before the trial started, Ye Rongquan was found to have committed suicide at home. Lin Maoping did not continue the trial, but closed the case with Ye Rongquan's suicide. The day after Lin Maoping returned to the capital, he also committed suicide, right?"
Bai Ziqi didn't dare to underestimate the man in front of him. He actually knew so much.
"Besides this, what else do you know?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a deep voice.
"In this world, there is only one person who can redress the grievances of Ye Rongquan and Lin Maoping. You are …" Bai Ziqi guessed the identity of the person in front of him, but he didn't dare to confirm it. He didn't want to believe that the person he imagined would appear here.
Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly. "Since I said so, naturally I can redress their grievances. It's just that Lin Maoping committed suicide after wrongly accusing Ye Rongquan. What did he have that is worthy for me to give him a clean name?"
Although Lin Maoping didn't condemn him, he was cursed by the world. Everyone thought that he must have received benefits in Jiangnan and thus wrongly accused Ye Rongquan.
If I say so, is he really the Emperor of Jin Kingdom?
Bai Ziqi struggled to come down and salute.
Mo Rongzhan raised his hand to stop him from coming down. "Continue."
"Ye Yisong had people capture Lin Maoping's only son. If Lin Maoping didn't determine that Ye Rongquan committed suicide to escape punishment, then Lin Maoping's family would also die. Lin Maoping didn't commit suicide, he was killed." Bai Ziqi's expression was somewhat agitated.
"How do you know that he committed suicide?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
Bai Ziqi said, "He saved me when I was living on the streets in Jiangnan and asked me to get close to Cao Lei and find evidence of Cao Lei and Ye Yisong's collusion. He also wanted to personally reverse Ye Rongquan's verdict. How could he commit suicide? Ye Yisong must have killed him."
Mo Rongzhan recalled what Lin Maoping said to him. At that time, he only felt guilty for his cowardice, but he didn't say why he was threatened by Ye Yisong.
"Then did you find any evidence?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
"No, Ye Yisong was too shrewd. I was by Cao Lei's side for three years, but I couldn't find any evidence of them colluding with each other. Later, Cao Lei began to suspect me, so I occupied the island. If Ye Yisong didn't die, Cao Lei wouldn't have exposed the existence of the hidden treasure." Bai Ziqi said.
Mo Rongzhan asked, "Ye Yisong died, why didn't Cao Lei get the tax money?"
Bai Ziqi was shocked. It turned out that this new Emperor even knew what was inside the hidden treasure.
"Cao Lei only has the nautical chart, but Ye Yisong has the formation chart. To unlock the formation, you can only get Ye Yisong's formation chart." Bai Ziqi said.
