Eunuch Li's words made both Chai Jingyun and Guan Xing think of that legend.
The reason why he is said to be a legend is because after so many years, no one has found any clues.
Wangjiang has never been a peaceful place.
And this also has historical reasons.
Because, it is said that Zhao Yu, the last emperor of the Wei Kingdom, was aware of the conspiracy of Du Zhongxian, the leader of the Shadow Sect, at the last moment.
He was also worried that Du Zhongxian would be detrimental to the royal family.
So, he sent someone to secretly smuggle out the gold and silver treasures from the palace and put them into a fleet heading south.
Later, chaos broke out in the palace, and Wei Emperor Zhao Yu abdicated the throne to Emperor Dashun Gaozu, ending the centuries-old foundation of the Wei Dynasty.
However, the fleet transporting the palace treasures did not return to the new imperial court. Instead, it mysteriously disappeared when it sailed into the Fushui River.
Some people say that they encountered big waves on the Fushui River and sank.
Some people said that they met robbers on the Fushui River and were taken away by the robbers.
Some people also say that the officers and soldiers responsible for escorting the shipment were disheartened when they heard that Emperor Wei had ascended the throne and hid the treasures with them.
However, no matter which statement it is, it seems to point to one point.
That is, these gold and silver jewelry will most likely end up in Wangjiang.
Therefore, although Wangjiang is a small place, it has always received attention from all sides.
Whether they are from the palace, from the court, from major families, or even from the world...
It is said that more than 20 years ago, the late emperor sent the four princes to the south of the Yangtze River. In name, they were inspecting the local officials, but in fact they were looking for the whereabouts of these treasures.
In that year, Jiangnan rebelled.
No one knows how the fourth prince became the leader of the rebels.
In the end, the fourth prince was defeated.
The fire that night made the sky red for a long time, and also the Fushui River.
The fourth prince would rather set fire to himself than surrender.
From then on, the Fourth Prince became a taboo in Dashun, and no one wanted to mention it again.
However, Chai Jingyun heard that the late emperor actually kept chanting the name of the fourth prince until his death...
As time went by, the affairs of the fourth prince gradually faded out of people's sight.
Wangjiang gradually faded out of people’s sight.
Really, it's back to a little place where you can't lay eggs.
However, Duan Wenjun wrote a peerless couplet for Wangjiang Tower, which immediately revived Wangjiang in people's memories again.
And Duan Wenjun's construction of the Duan Family Inn attracted the attention of many people.
Even a good friend like Chai Jingyun doesn't know how much he has to spend and how much he has spent.
However, people in the palace knew it; people in the world also knew it.
Eight hundred thousand taels, this is a huge amount of money.
A huge sum of money that no matter how rich the Duan family is, they should not be able to afford it.
This will definitely make others suspicious.
How did the Duan family get their money...
In particular, it was over a hundred years ago that the Duan family began to prosper in Wangjiang.
Coincidentally, it was also about the same time when the fleet disappeared.
This makes it even easier to arouse people's imagination.
Hearing Chai Jingyun's words, Duan Wenjun's brows immediately furrowed.
He once heard Duan Daxiong and Yun Batian mention the rebellion of the four princes.
When the fourth prince burned his boat and set himself on fire, the late emperor and his eldest princess stood in the attic of Wangjiang Tower and watched.
When the fourth prince burned his boat and set himself on fire, Duan Daxiong and Qiuyun were also standing on the wall of Duanjia Fort...
However, he had not heard about Wei's treasure.
What's more, he didn't expect that these mythical legends would actually be connected with him.
It was also at this moment that he suddenly realized something.
On that day, when Guanxing targeted Lin Jinglei and Gong Shuping of Xiake Island kidnapped Xiao Daqian, Wangjiang seemed to be in trouble.
When Mo Shoucheng went to rescue Xiao Daqian, he once told him that many masters in the world suddenly came to Wangjiang County.
At that time, Duan Wenjun and the others just felt a little strange, but they didn't think too much about it.
However, now that I think about it carefully, it was at that time that I made the decision to build the Duan Family Inn to the highest standards designed by Lin Nanzhun.
Maybe, the news that the Duan Family Inn needs to spend 800,000 taels of silver has already spread by then.
Maybe some of those people came for the Duan family.
Think about it again, Peng Dabeard was originally a group of fierce bandits in the north. If it weren't for the huge profits, how could they have been easily persuaded to go south, and even sent five guardians?
Duan Wenjun looked at everyone, showed a wry smile, and then said, "When I decided to build the Duan Family Inn, I really just wanted to build an inn that was more distinctive and could become a landmark building in Wangjiang. But, Everyone Lin’s design is really good, that’s why the cost has become so high.”
Having said this, his heart couldn't help but sink.
However, before he could speak, Guan Xing on the side had already expressed his doubts for him: "Wen Jun, could it be that Mr. Lin deliberately raised the cost of your Duan's Inn and then spread it out?" news?"
"I have never met Mr. Lin before, why would he plot against me like this?" Duan Wenjun shook his head.
"I don't think this possibility is very high." Chai Jingyun nodded. "I still know a little bit about Lin Nanzhun. The towers and courtyards he designed are extraordinary."
Chai Jingyun paused slightly, and then continued, "So, the things designed by Master Lin are naturally more expensive. I also heard that Master Lin designed a yard for a friend in the capital. Later, his When my friend fell into decline, he sold the yard and actually sold it for a sky-high price of 600,000 taels of silver."
"In this case, it will be even less possible for everyone Lin to trick me." After hearing Chai Jingyun's words, Duan Wenjun finally felt more at ease.
In fact, he was also very worried that Lin Nanzhun did it deliberately.
Because, from the beginning, he didn't really believe that Lin Nan was definitely trying to trick him.
"Wenjun, it's very rare to invite people like this. How did you invite him to come to Wangjiang to design an inn for you?" Chai Jingyun spoke again.
"I don't know either. You have to ask my family, Lao Huang." Duan Wenjun frowned. "At the beginning, we also thought that the scale of Duan's restaurant was too small and we needed to build a larger place, so I thought of building one." A large inn. After all, Wangjiang is the hub of our north-south and east-west Dashun. I still think it has great development potential."
"Then I asked Lao Huang, the shopkeeper of the wine shop, to help me find someone to start the construction, but unexpectedly he went to find Mr. Lin instead." Duan Wenjun paused. "Speaking of which, it's good luck."
Chai Jingyun nodded thoughtfully, "Wenjun, is your shopkeeper named Huang reliable?"
"Lao Huang is an old man in our Duan family. He has been with my fat dad for ten or twenty years. Although he has been taking care of the wine shop in the south of the city, there has been no improvement, but my fat dad has always been good to him, so he should He is also very loyal.”
"Then this matter is very strange." Chai Jingyun's brows furrowed. "Wenjun, I always feel that it might not be that simple."
