Zhang Fuling's words made Hu Zongmao stunned instantly.

Yes, the monarch of the Wei State in the previous dynasty was either extravagant or asked for immortals, and even more so he had not been in the dynasty for more than ten years, and the eunuchs were in charge, otherwise there would be no such thing as the Golden Crow Sect in the world.

For more than 100 years since the founding of the Great Liang State, all the kings of the past dynasties have been conscientious, not to mention that the current emperor is like this, providing relief to the victims, defending the country, and preventing the Tatars from going south to invade the people.

Even if King Mu rebelled, it was after the army suppressed it, he killed the Mu Wang family, and did not connect the military and civilians in southern Sichuan, his ruthlessness was only on the officials and relatives, which was to stabilize the regime is understandable.

If this matter is placed in the previous dynasty, not to mention the soldiers of Mu Wangfu, even the local people in southern Sichuan will not be spared, and the slaughter of the city is not uncommon.

Just like Zhang Fuling asked himself, is the world of Daliang stronger than the Wei State of the previous dynasty?

This answer is yes, Daliang is stronger than Wei, in order for the people to solve the problem of food and clothing, now they have begun to plant golden potatoes and corn, not to mention how much these yields have increased, in the capital can be planted in two seasons, what does this mean?

This is an important step in the improvement of national strength, with abundant food, the people will naturally not make trouble, and can have more surplus to build others, such as water conservancy, such as farming machinery, and more important military improvement.

And the more so, the more hopeless it is for Wei to recover, thinking of picking up the wine bowl here, Hu Zongmao raised his head and drank, and the moment he raised his head, an old tear flowed down his cheek, and when he put down the wine bowl, he raised his sleeve and wiped it.

"I can drink a bowl of wine with Master Zhang today, this life is enough, whether it is Wei Guo or Daliang, this is not something that the old man should worry about."

After a pause, Hu Zongmao looked at Zhang Fuling and continued.

"Daliang is indeed better than Wei, the kings of all dynasties are diligent and love the people, even if there are some means, it is also the art of the emperor, I have no objection to this.

However, my Hu family is the house slave of the Chu family, who can survive for several generations, and everything that is today is given by them, and now it is just time to pay it back. ”

Zhang Fuling didn't speak, lowered his eyes slightly, Hu Zongmao's words were true, he could understand that if this person was not an upright person, he would not have such a reputation in the court, but how to choose, this is not something that Zhang Fuling can control.

Zhang Fuling got up and opened the window of the room, and the scene outside the window came into view.

This is the second floor of the Women's Medical College, which is considered the highest position in Beishan, and you can see the whole outside if you lean over slightly.

"Hu Yushi, you stand here and take a look, although this Beishan is the property of Uncle Zhou and Shizi, but in the workshop below, all the products are military supplies, even the medical school at our feet is also built to train military doctors.

The alcohol workshop that exploded yesterday is not an ordinary brew, or for medical disinfection, it is the fuel made for the navigation of my girders flying balls, I don't think you have ever seen flying balls, right?

The flying ball, with the help of the burning of alcohol blowtorches, can carry people and things to fly, have you ever seen any country, who made such things? From the capital to Datong, it can be reached in just a few hours.

This time, Datong moved, King Ning was trapped, it was Uncle Zhou who led the forbidden army to rescue with a flying team and a team of people from the Rejuvenation Hall, such a big natural disaster, but dozens of people died in the ground disaster, just because of the timely rescue and the wonderful use of this flying ball. ”

Hu Zongmao stood up slowly, although there were whip wounds on his body, but it did not hinder his movements.

What Zhang Fuling said shocked him, after all, his official position is low, and he can't know more important things, but since this is what Zhang Fuling said, it must be true.

Standing by the window with chains, he looked at the various workshops in Beishan, the burned alcohol workshops were so dazzling and obvious that it was indeed impossible to avoid, but at this time, someone was already demolishing the burned roof, and it seemed that repairs were being carried out.

He closed his eyes, and the guilt made him feel ashamed, although he did something that he did not regret for the promise of his ancestors, but the condemnation of conscience could not escape.

He looked sideways at Zhang Fuling, sighed and said:

"The old man knows that what Master Zhang said is true, but the old man is a helpless choice, which is also the fate of the old man's family."

Zhang Fuling flicked his sleeves, his face looked a little excited, and his fingers trembled a little.

"Fate? Good birds choose trees to perch, this kind of truth does not need to be told to you by the official, you are an official, and you don't have to deal with these things that quote scriptures, how can it come to yourself, so pedantic?

Your Hu family and the Li family, a total of more than 100 lives, you can not take care of it, do you really want to force Your Majesty to investigate the government and the opposition, and the Son of Heaven is angry and ambushes millions of corpses, don't you really understand this truth?

Just because your family was funded by the Golden Crow Sect a hundred years ago, and now you are sacrificing your life with your family, but what is wrong with these people who have been connected? Can the explosion of a small workshop destroy the century-old foundation of Daliang?

It's impossible, it's just that His Majesty's reputation will leave a tyrant's notoriety because of this catastrophe, and the people of Daliang will also have a bad life because of the turmoil, and these people are guilty? The implicated officials are guilty?

The people will not scold Your Majesty for how cruel he is today, but will only curse the remnants of the previous dynasty for being restless and reluctant, the Golden Crow Sect is a scourge of Zhongliang, and your family will also bear the reputation of traitors, and you will not be able to live in peace when you die.

You feel that you have killed yourself, you are very wrong, all you get is a stench for 10,000 years! ”

Hu Zongmao's body shook, and he sat on the ground with a plop, the strength of the wine came up, he was indeed a little dizzy, and what was even more hit was Zhang Fuling's words.

Zhang Fuling is right, he has been stinking for 10,000 years, and when he thinks of his lifeless second son, the softest place in his heart is touched.

Hu Zongmao smiled bitterly, and looked out the window again, this is the first time he has been here in Beishan, but the shock here has given him enough.

The flying ball that Zhang Fuling mentioned just now must be the most important thing in the army.

After all, since ancient times, I have never heard of anyone who can go to heaven.

And the medical skills here are simply jaw-dropping, seeing that Daliang is so prosperous, he doesn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.

"Hey, if you leave a stink for 10,000 years, you will leave a stink for 10,000 years, many things are not something I can choose, but since I was a child, I really hope that Daliang can be smooth and peaceful, Guotai and the people, this is what I say, Lord Zhang...... Do you believe it? ”

Zhang Fuling nodded, there was no sarcasm on his face, with great sincerity.

"I believe it, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you today with peach blossoms and drunkenness, whether Your Majesty or the courtiers, they all want the peace of the country and the people.

However, the existence of this Golden Crow Sect is the biggest variable, to put it mildly, no matter who is the king of the common people, they just look at who is good to them, whether they are well fed and clothed, I don't want to say anything else, Your Majesty gave me seven days, and today is already the second day.

I will give you three days to think about it, and tell me everything I know when I think about it, although it may not be able to exempt your Hu family and the Li family from their guilt, at least they will not implicate the innocent, and they will not shake the government and the opposition, and the people of the world will not be displaced and involved in war again. ”

Hu Zongmao looked at Zhang Fuling steadily, if Zhang Fuling said at this moment to go to the old emperor to explain and try his best to reduce the guilt of their families, he didn't believe it, because the matter had already happened, the alcohol workshop had become a ruin, such a big matter, it was very involved, he didn't want to be alone.

Thinking of this, he bowed down to Zhang Fuling and said:

"Thank you, Master Zhang, the old man really wants to think about it."

Zhang Fuling nodded, he knew that if he pressed it tightly, it would not benefit anyone.

"Do you need me to leave the second son here?"

Hu Zongmao shook his head, "Thank you Lord Zhang for your kindness, just let the old man be quiet!" ”

Zhang Fuling got up, carried two wine bowls and an empty wine bottle, and walked out of the room directly, the sunlight outside was a little dazzling, he looked up, such sunlight was really comfortable.

Wang Anquan leaned over from the side, "My lord, do you need to bring people out, or do you need to send them back to Shuntian Mansion for custody?" ”

Zhang Fuling shook his head, the capital can't go back for the time being, this is not conducive to the investigation, and it is also easy to be interfered by the outside world, at this moment, we still have to wait for Fang Jizhong to come back, see what the emperor means, and then decide to stay next.

"Keep the two in separate custody, and as for the others, there is no need to interrogate them for the time being."

Wang Anquan was stunned, "No need to interrogate? ”

Zhang Fuling nodded, "Don't be deductible when eating and drinking, wait for Father-in-law Fang to come back before discussing." ”

Wang Anquan didn't dare to say anything else, and led someone to send the two to be detained, Zhang Wanxun came to Zhang Fuling's side, and took the wine jug and wine bowl over.

"My lord, do you need our people from Shuntianfu to follow and guard?"

Zhang Fuling nodded, "Send a team of people to follow, check these rooms every other hour, after all, those who are brought to Beishan are all criminals, you go and arrange it yourself, and don't conflict with the factory guards." ”

Zhang Wanxun was meek in front of Zhang Fuling, followed a sheep, hurriedly said yes, and took someone to go.

......

The next day, it was just dawn.

Zhou Heng and Zhu Yunmo squatted in a room, did not light the lamp, just lay on the window and looked out, with a burst of mosquito calls, Zhu Yunmo felt the itching pain on his face, raised his hand and snapped, and slapped the mosquito to death.

Zhou Heng stared at Zhu Yunmo sideways, tried to keep his voice to a minimum, grabbed his wrist and shouted.

"What is the prince doing? Fang Jizhong brought such a cloud of masters, do you want them to know that the two of us are hiding here? ”

Zhu Yunmo was also very annoyed, his face looked guilty, and he quickly raised his finger and put it to his mouth, signaling Zhou Heng not to be annoyed, he didn't mean it, Zhou Heng sighed, he really can't be in a hurry at this time.

At this moment, there was a movement from the north window, Zhou Heng raised his hand to cover Zhu Yunmo's mouth, this thing was shocked, if he shouted something, it would all be wasted today.

At the moment when the north window opened, a figure flashed in, the person seemed to be completely adapted to the darkness, walked directly to Zhou Heng and Zhu Yunmo's side, and knelt down on one knee, this time needless to say that Zhou Heng also knew who it was.

"Pang Qi?"

"Pang Qi has seen the prince and the uncle."

Zhou Heng was worried for a while, and hurriedly waved his hand, signaling Pang Qi not to be so loud.

"Be quiet, I don't know if the factory guards are around, you've done everything?"

Pang Qi snorted, and with a shake of his hand, he lit an oil lamp with a fire fold, and then continued:

"Uncle, don't worry, I just checked it, there are no factory guards and yamen people around our building, I have already taken people to the dry well, and the things in it, all the gold, silver and jewelry without age marks or special marks have been brought back.

The secret passage of the dry well has also been rearranged, even if someone opens it, there is no trace of being moved, and the gold and silver taken back have been properly placed in Steward Zhang at the moment, and the things sent by the three princes before are stored in the fresh-keeping warehouse. ”

When Zhou Heng heard this, he let go of Zhu Yunmo's mouth and listened to Pang Qi's meaning, these gold and silver are a lot, otherwise they would not be so popular.

"A lot of things?"

Pang Qi nodded, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and handed it to Zhou Heng with both hands, although Zhou Heng was not his master, he was the best friend of the prince, and he also tried his best to defend them, just like yesterday, if there was no Zhou Heng, they would naturally be punished this time.

"Uncle, please look, there are not too many records in a hurry, just wrote a list casually, and the others that were not taken away are the dark weapons with the golden crow logo, the specifications of the utensils, at first glance, they are the things of the imperial tombs of the previous dynasty, and the number is too large to count."

Zhou Heng was stunned and his eyes widened.

Zhu Yunmo stood up first, ", is this digging your own ancestral grave?" For more than 300 years in the Wei Kingdom, there have been a total of twenty-four emperors, the last one died tragically, the mausoleum was not built, the twenty-three emperors in front, the things in this underground palace together are indeed not a small number! ”

Zhu Yunmo seemed to be emotionally concerned, but was pulled by Zhou Heng, looked at Pang Qi and asked:

"Have you counted carefully, these are all things brought from various mausoleums?"

Pang Qi nodded, "My subordinates have taken a closer look, the innermost boxes are large and small, and the things behind them are all thrown into it in a mess, very hasty, and the things that are loaded, although they are all spiritual weapons, they only selected gold and gems, and there is no bronze artifact."

As for these things brought back by his subordinates, they are all leaning on the innermost box, and the whole six boxes are either gold ingots or jewels and jade, and there is a box that his subordinates have carefully looked at, and there are crowns and phoenix crowns inside, which are exquisite and abnormal, but these things are absolutely not touched.

When the subordinates brought people out, they put the things at the door into a part of the box, and then rearranged them with dust and sand, and even if they found it here, they couldn't think that anyone had ever entered. ”

Zhou Heng nodded, Pang Qi's approach was very right.

"It's the right thing to do, it's not too much to be cautious, besides, you can find it, with the factory guard's sense of smell, there's nothing you can't find, it's just a matter of time."

Zhou Heng paused, thinking of what he had said about the two secret guards before, he hurriedly asked:

"Before, you said that two secret guards died, but the corpses were disposed of?"

Pang Qi shook his head, his face looked a little nervous, and he quickly knelt on one knee.

"Please punish the prince and uncle, when I came back yesterday, I sent someone to search, but I didn't find it, I took someone to go over again, and the place where we fought was gone, and the soil on the ground seemed to have been cleaned up."

As soon as this sentence came out, Zhu Yunmo was startled, and hurriedly looked at Zhou Heng, this thing is not haunted, Pang Qi didn't clean it up, and then saw that it was cleaned up, and his heart couldn't even find the body, this is not an evil sect.

"Could it be that Fang Jizhong found them first?"

Zhou Heng thought for a while, and then directly denied the situation.

"Impossible, if the people from the factory guard found out first, how could this day be so quiet, at least they would come over and ask, after all, the time for the accident here is not short, I remember that on the first night they came, they conducted a careful search of Beishan, which can be said to be checked inch by inch, and there will be no omissions."

Zhu Yunmo seemed to remember it when he thought about it, and quickly nodded, his face was even more puzzled, Pang Qi, the person who handled it, didn't know where the person was, who helped him?

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock knock...... Knock ......"

Two short and one long, Zhu Yunmo was startled, and almost sat on the ground, Zhou Heng grabbed the person and shouted towards the door.

"Who?"
