Feng Jing was also surprised that Jiang Wancheng actually knew this thing.

"You and Dalang, are you also looking for it?"

Jiang Wancheng didn't want to lie to his master, so he told Feng Jing that they did have a treasure secretary.

"I found it by accident on Mount Wushan. Master, what is this?"

Feng Jing nodded, as if he understood: "So that's it. Wushan has a treasure secret, so Qingyang Town has become a place trampled by those jianghu people. That Prince Duan and all the disasters that followed are because of this thing..."

Elder Feng sighed and explained the item in his hand, "This is another treasure secret. When I founded my sect, I chose this Chiliang Valley as my territory, and I met a group of guardians of the treasure secret here."

"I fought fiercely with them for several days, and I poisoned them all to death."

"Later, this place became mine, and naturally I discovered this thing by accident."

"There have always been rumors about the 'treasure secretary' in the martial arts world, so I know what it is. But we haven't made any noise in recent years, and we haven't appeared in the martial arts world, so almost no one in the martial arts world knows that we have this thing in our hands."

"But no matter what it is, in my hands, it is just a roll of waste paper."

"But Cheng'er, if you and Dalang get it, it will be useful."

"The master will give it to you two as a wedding gift."

Jiang Wancheng took it respectfully and did not refuse.

She knew very well that if Wen Chaoyan got another volume of this thing, even if he lacked the volume of Da Jin, it would definitely be like a godsend for him!

He wants to fight back to Da Jin, he wants revenge. With these two volumes of treasure secrets in his hands, plus the influence and teaching he received from his father since childhood, his chances of winning are increased!

"Master's gift is so rare and precious that I would be disrespectful to refuse it and feel ashamed to accept it. Since it is a gift from Master, I... thank you!"

As she spoke, she knelt down on the edge of the table and kowtowed to Feng Jing several times with all her heart.

Mr. Feng immediately stretched out his hand to signal her to get up.

After all, she was pregnant and still knelt down to him, which made Feng Jing feel even more distressed.

"Alright, alright, we don't need to say those polite words. Since this is a useful thing, Master will be very pleased to give it to you two. Why don't you take a look at what your A-Yan wrote to you?"

Hearing her master teasing her, Jiang Wancheng blushed.

"Yes."

Jiang Wancheng then stood up and sat down again to continue reading the letter.

At the beginning of the letter, he still described his longing for her. Wen Chaoyan actually used half of the paper to talk about this.

Moreover, he blamed her for writing too few words in her last reply, which made him feel uneasy.

The master was right in front of him, so Jiang Wancheng didn't dare to look closely and just ignored it with a red face.

Then, when he was speaking seriously, he slowly looked down again...

Wen Chaoyan said that he and Wen Erlang were ready to set off, and by the time Jiang Wancheng received the letter, he would definitely be on his way to the border.

The place he was going to was Jiacheng, which was the place his father had once recaptured and now belonged to Daliang.

He said that he was afraid that Jiang Wancheng was too concerned about the unfinished cases from her previous trip to Beijing, so he wrote a letter specifically to tell her about them, fearing that she would be bored.

I originally wanted to go there in person to see her, to see Sister Ya, and then to see Mr. Feng.

However, he was afraid that he would fall into her arms and lose his will and never want to leave, so he gritted his teeth and continued.

The first thing he wanted to talk about was the Qi family case.

He didn't explain it in detail last time. Now many things have been done in the capital, and she is in the Chiliang Valley where no one in the world can enter, so even if he tells her, there will be no problem.

The tragedy of the Qi family originated from the dispute in the harem.

The late emperor and the current empress dowager were originally a loving couple who respected each other as equals, but Qi Qilang had an aunt who quickly gained the favor of the late emperor after she entered the palace at the age of 16.

The late emperor treated her like a treasure and even neglected the empress.

Soon, this younger and more beautiful girl from the Qi family was promoted to the position of concubine and became pregnant.

This made the Queen Mother feel a sense of crisis, so she planned the brutal massacre of the Qi family, and when the late Emperor's declining health had no time to take care of others, she also killed Concubine Qi.

Although Wen Chaoyan has now thoroughly investigated the Qi family's injustice, since the empress dowager cannot be touched for the time being, Qi Qilang and his old servant can only endure it for the time being.

As for the pearl case that Jiang Wancheng was most concerned about, Wen Chaoyan had indeed completely solved it.

Although he had already investigated the truth about the Ninth Floor, if King Yu had not led his troops into the capital and fought a battle with King Yan in the name of clearing the court, Wen Chaoyan would not have been able to pry King Yan into power.

Yes, the mastermind behind the Pearl Case was none other than Prince Yan.

Because Prince Yan's mother's family was poor and his wife's family could not support him, he was ambitious and needed money very much!

He smuggled pearls and swallowed up almost double the annual coastal taxes. He then smuggled the pearls overseas or, under other names, forced them to be sold to many dignitaries in the court who were afraid of his power and wanted him to do things for them.

He also opened a number of shops that produced rouge and powder using pearls as the main material.

He did make a lot of money from this.

However, because his methods were too tyrannical, someone had already reported the matter to the Empress Dowager and the young Emperor.

Although the Queen Mother had killed many people and was not a good person, she truly loved her son and wanted to take back his power.

So, she played along and pretended to know nothing temporarily, but secretly she kept tripping up the King of Yan and setting traps for him.

She let others start to share in the pearl's corruption.

Allow some workshops to produce cheaper pearl jewelry, rouge and powder, etc. in a cheaper way.

This led to private merchants also starting to engage in the pearl business on a large scale.

Even reduce taxes for some coastal fishermen...and so on.

Sure enough, the amount of money Prince Yan received became less and less, and gradually, he began to become desperate.

The couple in Lane 18 whom he killed were the managers of the small workshop.

Outside the city, there is also a merchant family.

And the abbot of Xiangshan Temple only accepted a few buckets of pearls from another corrupt official.

The Prince of Yan acted ruthlessly, and all of this was within the Queen Mother's calculations.

Then, she even asked the Northern Pacification Office to investigate, vowing to give an explanation to the world.

But isn't she another murderer?

In other words, she is also the real murderer!

The Queen Mother wanted to find something to hold against the Prince of Yan and take back the power to rule the country.

However, Wen Chaoyan, who had long seen through her thoughts, would not obediently be her lackey.

The tragic murder of Zhao Jingmo's family led to King Yu being hanged as well.

Therefore, Wen Chaoyan simply took advantage of the situation and secretly reported what King Yan had done to King Yu.

King Yu finally got an excuse and quickly led his troops back to the capital.
