The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination
Chapter 329 Navigation Chart
Yun Qing: "I always thought it was the Shang family that was suppressing the Su family. Now it seems that the Shang family is just a knife. The one who wants the Su family's money bag should be Emperor Shengwu!"
Feng Zhishang: "That's right, only the imperial power has the power to swallow up such a large industry of the Su family!"
Yun Qing couldn't say that Emperor Yong'an was still alive. What he thought in his heart was that with such a big plan, Emperor Shengwu's brain full of mercury would probably not be able to think of it. He could only say that Emperor Yong'an was the mastermind behind it!
After hearing this, Mu Qingcheng glanced at Yun Qing. The two of them understood each other tacitly and knew what the other was thinking.
"However, there is one thing I don't understand. Emperor Shengwu wanted to exterminate the Su family and secretly hunted down the descendants of the Su family, causing Su Yi to hide in this mountain village under an assumed name. This should have been hidden from Emperor Shengwu. Why did they invite the Xiuyao people? And why did they come? Is there something on the two brothers that the Xiuyao people want?"
Su Chenxi thought of the dwarf who pretended to be his sister, and felt sick! He stepped forward and said to Yun Qing, "I know what she wants."
After saying that, he whispered something to Su Chaoyang, and Su Chaoyang ran out the door. After a cup of tea, Su Chaoyang came back with an old, faded silk bag that he gave to Su Chenxi.
Su Chenxi opened it and took out a jade-carved landscape plaque from it. The jade plaque was half the size of a palm and was carved with a landscape painting.
Yun Qing took it and turned it over and over to examine it carefully. This jade token must contain a secret. Perhaps the landscape on it is actually a map!
Feng Zhishang stared at the jade token with his eyes shining: "Could this be a treasure map? The Su family has such a huge fortune, maybe they have hidden it all. This jade token is where they hide their treasures."
Fang Xurao whispered, "Everyone knows it, but no one says it out loud. Only you are smart!"
"Tsk!" Feng Zhishang gave Fang Xurao a nonchalant look.
Yun Qing turned the jade plaque over and over, but couldn't figure out where the landscape was carved. Qi was so vast, where could he find it? He showed it to Mu Qingcheng, who couldn't make out anything either. However, since it was a treasure map, it must have a hint. What could that hint be?
The jade plaque was passed from one person to another, but unfortunately, no one could tell where the carving was.
Yun Qing asked Su Chenxi, "Did your father leave any words about this brand before he died?"
Su Chenxi shook her head: "My father only told us to keep this well and never throw it away, and certainly not sell it or give it away!"
Yes, their family was so poor, but they didn't sell the jade pendant for money, which shows how important this jade pendant is.
Mu Qingcheng suddenly remembered the rubbing game she played when she was a child. She would put paper on a coin and cover it with black lead with a pencil, and the pattern on the coin would be printed on the paper.
"I have a way to print that picture on paper. Maybe there will be clues!"
So she took a piece of paper, pulled out a pencil from her head, and used the pencil to copy the landscape on the jade pendant onto the paper.
The incredible thing happened. The printed image was not a landscape pattern. Instead, there was a dark mass on the paper with a few white spots of varying sizes.
"What is this?" Mu Qingcheng was very annoyed. There was no map or font as she had imagined.
Yun Qing took the paper and looked at it carefully. He couldn't make out what it was no matter how he looked at it. When he turned the paper sideways, he was stunned!
"This, this is a - a nautical chart." he exclaimed!
"what?"
"What?"
Everyone, regardless of their identities, gathered around, examining it. Mu Qingcheng still couldn't understand: "It's just a few dots, how can you tell it's a nautical chart?"
Yun Qing explained to Mu Qingcheng: "The irregular white spots below are the shapes of islands on the sea. Look, the spots above are arranged like the Milky Way in the sky. These should be the positions of the twenty-four constellations."
Mu Qingcheng: "You said this crescent-shaped white dot is an island? Where is it?"
"I don't understand this either. I need to find someone experienced in sailing to look at it and tell the difference."
The positions of the stars require the help of a powerful person familiar with astronomy.
Mu Qingcheng: "Why did the Su family have to guard this jade token for generations? Since they have no shortage of money, why can't they take their descendants and leave the Great Qi Kingdom? Even if they have money, why are they afraid of not being able to find a place to rest in peace?"
"That's easy to explain!" Ming Yuan, who had been meditating silently in the corner, suddenly spoke up: "This is exactly why the Yao people found this place."
"Back then, Shao Jun and the Su family worked together to build dozens of huge cargo ships. They explored the seas and discovered many overseas countries. That's how we truly know that beyond mountains there are mountains, beyond seas there are oceans. This world is vast and boundless!"
Mu Qingcheng couldn't help but feel ashamed after hearing this. Even if their world was not the same as hers, it was still the same Earth! She really wanted to tell them that the Earth was round, but she didn't know if they would believe it!
"The ship traveled to many countries, and they exchanged Da Qi's fabrics and ceramics for many rare treasures. Unfortunately, something unexpected happened, and Shao Jun ordered that these things be temporarily stored on an island.
Those cunning people had long coveted these treasures. They used their special physiques to pretend to be children in distress, gained sympathy and boarded the ship. Then, they took advantage of the night to burn the ship, kill people and steal the treasures. Thousands of people on the ship were massacred.
When this incident was reported back to the Great Qi State, Shao Jun was furious. He personally led his men on a ship to attack Japan and killed almost all the Xiuyao barbarians.
Unexpectedly, that villain still refused to give up and was still coveting the things on the island!
Perhaps, the island marked on the nautical chart is where Shao Jun hid the treasure! "
The main room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. There was no sound of talking for a long time, only hissing... and gasping sounds.
Feng Zhishang suddenly spoke up: "I guess, at that time, Crown Prince Shaojun probably anticipated that he would be in great danger, so he left this landscape tablet, hoping that his descendants would be able to find this treasure and use it to revitalize the Great Qi Kingdom!"
Mu Qingcheng didn't think so: "Yun Qing, I think this might be a gift left to you by your parents. Maybe it also tells you the whereabouts of your mother."
Yun Qing felt a pang of excitement in his heart after hearing this. That’s right, he must find that place.
"Your Highness, Your Highness! The Su family's matter has been resolved. As for the grievances of our Ning family, Your Highness asks us to redress the injustices of those who died in our Ning family!"
Everyone was still immersed in the beautiful dream of sailing out to sea to search for treasure when they suddenly heard someone crying out for justice. Everyone turned around and saw the village chief and Mrs. Lin kneeling on the ground in the middle of the main hall. The person crying out for justice was Mrs. Lin!
"Brother, sister-in-law, what are you doing...?" Fang Xurao rushed forward to support them. "Brother, what are you doing? Is there any injustice in our family that you can't tell me?"
Village Chief Fang refused to get up. He said with a bitter look on his face, "Your sister-in-law really has been wronged. Just let her speak! Otherwise, no one in this world will avenge her!"
Yun Qing took Mu Qingcheng back to the main seat and sat upright before speaking: "Madam Lin, there is no need to be like this. Hurry up and speak."
Su Qingyan hurried forward to help Mrs. Lin up, and Su Chaoyang went to help Village Chief Fang up.
Madam Lin: "My surname is not Lin, but Ning, and my maiden name is Huiying. I was born in the Ning family in Jiangzhou. The Ning family's ancestors were also from Shouchun. Later, my grandfather's branch went into business and moved to Jiangzhou. My father followed in his footsteps and has a small fortune in the Jiangzhou area."
