Qin Zongliang invited Jia Yu and others out of the mansion before the prince got angry.
Standing outside the gate of the Duke of Qin's Mansion, the guard looked at the gate of the Duke's Mansion and asked:
"Master Jia, what should I do if they don't accept people?"
Jia Yu put her hands behind her back and said with a smile: "I didn't expect them to take him in and throw him at the back door of the Duke's mansion. Let's go back to the mansion."
The guard obeyed the order and threw the untied Guo Qiucheng not far from the back door of the Duke's Mansion, then turned and left.
Guo Qiucheng watched the three of them walk away, and with all his strength, he broke free from his bonds in the sight of the servants of the Duke's Mansion, got up and ran towards the alley.
Xue Ren, who was inside the door, hid his figure and chased after Guo Qiucheng after he ran away.
Qin Zongheng, who came back from outside, saw that the prince was there and bowed respectfully.
Duke Guo of Qin said displeased: "What's the situation now? You're still out here every day, where did you go to make mischief?"
Qin Zongheng: "Grandpa, my grandson has been wronged. Since we got married, our grandson has not been messing around outside. My eldest brother knows this. If you don't believe me, ask your eldest brother."
Looking at Qin Zongheng's hopeful eyes, Qin Zongliang spoke for him with a gentle smile, although there was no warmth in his eyes:
"Grandpa, Zong Heng has indeed gained a better memory after being beaten. He has not been to Fireworks and Willow Alley recently."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zongheng secretly looked at Qin Guogong and saw that his face was slightly warmer, then he stood up straight and took out the envelope from his arms.
Duke Guo of Qin: "What is this?"
Qin Zongheng: "This is the young master of the Xue family. He sent it to my gambling shop before anything happened to the Xue family. He said it was a wedding gift for me. My marriage... didn't happen. I was injured again, so I forgot about it. Yes, I just remembered it after taking stock of the accounts today."
Qin Zongliang took the letter and opened it, his cold eyes instantly sharp as a knife.
Seeing that Qin Zongliang looked wrong, the prince asked:
"What's wrong?"
Qin Zongliang took a deep breath, closed his eyes to suppress his emotions, and then handed the letter to the prince:
"The Xue family gave me a generous gift."
Duke Guo of Qin said in confusion: "It's just a generous gift, what's wrong with it?"
After reading the letter, the prince stood up from his chair in shock:
"It's very wrong, because this generous gift is called... Ten Thousand Life Cauldron..."
Suddenly, all confusion suddenly became clear. The prince put down the letter and murmured to himself:
"No wonder... my father, who had long known about Gao Shangshu's corruption of the salt tax, had clearly warned me privately, but suddenly without any warning and without mercy, he attacked the Xue family and Gao Shangshu. Recently, And she suddenly hates my mother and I so much..."
Uncle Qin also had a look of shock in his eyes. He stood up and took the letter from the prince's hand:
"The Cauldron of Ten Thousand Lives? But the Tripod of Ten Thousand Lives, the treasure of the former dynasty?"
Qin Zongliang said with a heavy face: "This is it."
Qin Zongheng: "That jet-black thing...is the national treasure?"
Seeing that everyone looked at him with unkind expressions, Qin Zongheng shrunk and took a step back, and couldn't help but swallowed:
"I...I...have never heard of this thing. Since it is a national treasure, it must be very valuable...What's wrong with it?"
Prince: "It is rumored that the Cauldron of Ten Thousand Lives is forged from black iron dropped from the sky. It is regarded as an auspicious object. The one who obtains the Cauldron of Ten Thousand Lives can conquer the world. Therefore, before the previous dynasty, this thing was handed down by the emperor in all dynasties. Custody means taking charge of thousands of living things.”
Qin Zongliang continued: "Until the king of the previous dynasty accidentally lost the Wansheng Ding, the Wansheng Ding was missing. The previous dynasty also fell into ruin in just twenty years after the Wansheng Ding was lost."
