Zhou Feng said with an angry look: "It's Mr. Cheng who defected from Nanyi."
"Recently, Aruo has been purging internal enemies. Master Cheng defected from Nanyi and proclaimed himself king. In order to retaliate against us and our people for colluding, he sneaked into the rice warehouse and set fire to it."
Du Wanchun asked: "Who are you colluding with?"
Zhou Feng shook his head.
Zhou Ruiyuan replied: "I am investigating this person."
Du Wanchun fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, "Ruiyuan, don't worry, let's go to the Lu family's treasury first. We can deal with this person slowly."
"That's fine." Zhou Ruiyuan had actually found out who that person was, but he didn't want to put Du Wanchun in danger, so he didn't say anything. ?.?????.???
The most famous businessmen who were as wealthy as the Zhou family more than ten years ago were merchants.
The merchant was an imperial merchant who was accepted by the old emperor. At first, he sent people to the Zhou family to do some work. Later, with the death of the old emperor, the merchant gradually declined.
More than a dozen cloth shops in the capital closed their doors and slowly disappeared.
Later, Zhou Ruiyuan found out that the Zhou family had restarted business in a small county. He heard that there was an expert with him, and things were going smoothly now.
The shopkeeper of the business is a vengeful person. He believes that the reason why his business is what it is now is because of the Zhou family.
For this reason, he united with Master Cheng, who had defected from Nanyi, to burn down the Zhou family's rice warehouse.
On the day of the arson, shopkeeper Shang asked an expert to guide him, and then he escaped Du Wanchun's eyes.
However, none of them thought that in addition to their own treasury, the Zhou family also had the treasury left by the Lu family.
Two days later, Zhou Ruiyuan, Du Wanchun and Zhou Feng changed into ordinary people's clothes and came to the Lu family's old house together.
Since the death of the old emperor, Zhou Ruiyuan left the old house to Lu Yan.
Lu Yan was in Xuzhou with his wife and children these days and didn't know about this yet.
Zhou Ruiyuan took Du Wanchun and the others in through the back door, and then found a secret door in Mrs. Lu's yard.
The housekeeper said before that Mr. Lu will locate the warehouse in Yanyun Mountain on the western outskirts of the capital.
Later, Zhou Ruiyuan went to Yanyun Mountain to check and found no warehouse.
He originally thought that the housekeeper was lying, but later he learned that his grandfather deliberately told the housekeeper a false address, and the real address had to be found in the Lu Mansion.
After Zhou Ruiyuan thought about it, he decided to take a look at the old lady's yard.
Unexpectedly, I actually found a secret door.
Du Wanchun was also shocked when she saw it, and she slowly walked towards the secret door.
Zhou Ruiyuan took her hand and said, "I'll go first."
Du Wanchun turned around and said with a smile: "The things left by your grandmother should not be dangerous."
Zhou Ruiyuan quickened his pace and protected her behind him, "It's better to be careful."
Du Wanchun said no more and followed Zhou Ruiyuan obediently.
Just like Du Wanchun said, there is no danger inside.
There is only one Buddha statue in a small secret room, which is a small Buddhist hall.
Zhou Feng approached, holding a candle lantern, and said, "There seems to be nothing here."
Zhou Ruiyuan stared around and finally found a painting on the wall behind the Buddhist hall, which was a statue of a goddess.
He looked familiar, "This portrait seems to have been seen somewhere..."
Zhou Feng followed and watched together. After watching for a long time, his eyes suddenly fell on Du Wanchun.
"Why do you look a bit like your sister-in-law?"
Du Wanchun was shocked by these words, and she looked at the portrait carefully.
The goddess in the portrait does look a bit like her, but it's not her, but the female statue from the goddess temple in Yueling Mountain.
In other words, this goddess looks like her mother.
At this time, Zhou Ruiyuan also remembered something and said slowly: "I remember that my grandmother once repaired a small temple on Yueling Mountain when I was a child. The female statue in the temple is the goddess in this painting."
After hearing this, Zhou Feng seemed to have remembered it. He was younger than Zhou Ruiyuan, so he didn't remember it as clearly as he did. "Yes, it seems that this happened."
Du Wanchun said with a smile: "Why don't we go to Yueling Mountain to have a look."
Zhou Ruiyuan and Zhou Feng nodded together.
The three of them hit it off immediately, and then secretly left the Lu Mansion.
