Chapter 281: What's Under the Lake

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "Yes, no problem, then pick it up and cover it again!" Tian master, you don't know, the old house is no longer inhabitable, not to mention the weeds and living beings in it, even the walls have fallen, even if it is repaired, it is impossible to live in people, I don't know that one day the beams of the house will be broken, who dares to live in it! ”

Tian Zhu said: "According to the law of the imperial court, people with knighthoods, just like you, the construction of the mansion must be funded by my household, but since the establishment of our dynasty, everything is thrifty, and the construction of the house has always been allocated according to minor repairs, in other words, our household department can only give you 160 yuan to repair the house, and the rest of the money must be paid by yourself." ”

Wang Ping'an sighed, frowned, and said: "Is there such a law, I don't know, if that old house wants to be built and can live again, it will take at least ...... To spend, how much? He really didn't know how much it would cost to build a new house.

Tian Zhu said: "That house, I also know, and I have also seen it, that place is big, not to mention the heavy cover, even if it is repaired, I am afraid that it will take six or seven thousand, which is more than the new construction of a household yamen." And if you want to make it smaller, you have to dig up the foundation in some places, you have to change it, the platform in the Earl's Palace, and the platform in the Guogong Mansion, the height is not the same, you can't use the original foundation. In this way, the project is too big, you have to deal with the old one first, and then build the new one, which is much more expensive than directly building the new one, at least 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and you have to face up! ”

Wang Ping'an frowned and said, "I still have to change the foundation, this project is indeed bigger, but the household department can't just allocate me one hundred and sixty yuan, this is too little!" ”

He thought to himself, I just sent 10,000 yuan to the officials, and I didn't blink an eyelid, how happy I am to give you money, how can I take some money from you, just so hard, shouldn't it be better to get the public money!

The Tian master snorted and said: "One hundred and sixty guan is still less, when I repaired the country mansion for the eldest grandson, the household department only allocated two hundred guan, and the rest of the money was paid by the eldest grandson himself." You, an earl, if you allocate more money than the eldest grandson, it is estimated that you will be the earl! ”

Wang Ping'an sighed and said, "It's a lot!" sighed in his mouth, but thought in his heart: "It's only twenty or thirty thousand, a little money, take care of the flowers, I will pay 50,000 yuan, and repair a beautiful earl, maybe it will become a marquis mansion and a public mansion in the future, so the foundation must be laid!" ”

The landlord persuaded kindly: "Lord Wang, according to what the lower official said, you can change places and build a new house, won't you get it!" Choose a place with cheap land, like Yonghefang, Yongpingfang, these fangs, the land is ten times cheaper than Suzaku Street, counting the land money, you will spend five or six thousand yuan, and build a good mansion. If you build a new one on Suzaku Street, or build it on the foundation of that old house, you will have to save until you are 100 years old! ”

Wang Ping'an said twice, "It's only tens of thousands, but I can afford it." My Count's Mansion is built there, it won't change, you can file it! ”

"Tens of thousands...... Nothing more! The landlord grinned and thought, "You really said it lightly." That's right, what are you doing, being a doctor, the two most profitable businesses in the world, one is robbery, the other is selling medicine, you are the one who sells medicine, can you have no money! ”

I really feel envious, jealous and hateful in my heart, make up my mind, go home and force the child to study, just study medicine, and when the child grows up, let him build a big house, take the prince as an example, make money hard, and then spend hard!

After completing the rest of the formalities, Wang Ping'an left the household department, beat the horse and prepared to return to the Inspiration Temple, but he walked halfway, and was afraid of going back to play with a large group of sycophants, so he simply went to Zhuque Street, found a restaurant, ate lunch, and went to Yang Xuangan's old house.

When he came to this house again, he inspected more carefully, and last time he saw it sloppily, and some places did not look carefully. This house is indeed big enough, he turned around, turned to the back house, and saw a large pond in the back garden, dozens of acres in size, larger than the pond in the eldest grandson's mansion, it can be called a small lake. But this little lake has long since dried up, and the little lake is still filled, and it is full of big stones, and a lot of wood, and discarded bricks and tiles, like a huge pile of rubble, piled up at the top of the hill, and can only be seen from the outline of the outline, this was once a small lake with rippling blue waves!

Wang Ping'an walked to the edge of the pond and kept shaking his head and sighing. It seems that this pond was deliberately filled, and the boulders and rubble in it, as well as the broken beams or something, were deliberately piled in, and such a big lake was filled up, and it was piled up so high!

Who filled this lake, it was filled by Emperor Yang of Sui? At that time, the world was in chaos, and he seemed to be blocked in Jiangdu, as if he hadn't come back, so naturally he didn't have the time to do this kind of thing. Did Yang Xuangan's enemy do it? How should you set fire to it, spend so much effort to fill the lake, isn't that enough to eat!

Then it can only be Yang Xuangan who did it himself, he demolished his house in a dignified manner, and then came to fill in this lake, what did he want to do? If you're full, even if you're holding on, you won't do this kind of thing!

It's inexplicable!

Wang Ping'an walked slowly along the lake, and finally found a reason, if you want to make people perish, you must first make people crazy. Yang Xuangan was already crazy before the rebellion, and he was afraid that after the defeat, his house would be occupied by others, so he simply destroyed it himself first and didn't let others live in it anymore! Very good, he achieved his goal, no one wants to live here anymore, this house has been deserted for decades!

Looking at such a large area of rubble, Wang Ping'an really wanted to jump to his feet and scold, no wonder Wei Chigong didn't come to live, he was afraid that breaking the taboo was on the one hand, on the other hand, how much money did it cost, and how much manpower was used!

To clear this pile of rubble, I am afraid that it will have to use thousands of people, manpower to transport it out, and it will have to be transported out of the city and thrown away, how big the project is, how much money it will cost. Where did he find so many people, could it be that he went to Zuo Wuwei and borrowed an army to come over?

Wang Ping'an became more and more angry the more he looked at it, and said angrily: "Yang Xuangan, old Yang Tou'er, if you have nothing to do, you are in a panic, then you will rebel, why do you say you are filling in the lake, and you also fill in your own lake, if you have the ability, you can fill in the Qujiang Pond, then you have a kind, I admire you, now, I can only convince you!" ”

Flicked his sleeves, got out of the dilapidated house, rode on the white dragon horse, and returned to the Inspiration Temple.

Back to the Inspiration Temple, sure enough, there were countless carriages and horses parked at the gate of the temple, and I could guess with my toes, I must have come to set friendship, my surname is Wang, this is a big surname, maybe there will be countless people climbing relatives, and I have to come out of a large group of uncles and uncles!

He was not in the mood to socialize, so he turned his horse around, entered the temple through the back door, and went directly back to his bedroom.

After a while, Di Renjie came, and he said: "Big brother, it's hard to see you coming back from the back mountain gate, I know that you don't like to be vain, so I sent the people in front of me, and then I came to see you." Hey, big brother, you seem to be very unhappy, what happened, but when you report today, the people in the ministry are difficult for you? ”

Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "No, no one is embarrassed for me...... Yes, that Yang Xuan felt embarrassed for me! He told me about going to see the old house.

Di Renjieqi said: "Filling the lake with huge rocks and big trees, can you be sure that Yang Xuangan did this thing at the beginning?" ”

Wang Ping'an shook his head and said: "It's my guess, you don't want to think about the chaos in those years, even the emperor couldn't return to the capital, what happened in the capital, who can know, after so many years, it has long been impossible to verify!" ”

He paused, and then said, "Forget it, if you want to dig that lake again, the project is too big, and it will take a lot of manpower and financial resources. If you can't do it, you can pile up the rubble and build a hill, so that it doesn't cost too much money! ”

Di Renjie frowned, and said: "If something is abnormal, it is a demon, if this thing is really done by Yang Xuangan, why did he do this, could it be that he is trying to cover up something, then under the lake, is there something he doesn't want people to know?" ”

He remembered the rumors in the rivers and lakes again, could it be that Yang Su's treasure was hidden at the bottom of the lake? This is safer than hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, who would have thought that there are countless treasures next to Suzaku Street?

Wang Ping'an thought for a while and said, "There may be, who knows!" He hadn't heard of the so-called rumors, so naturally he wouldn't think of treasures.

That rumor is too outrageous, it has always been told as a joke, and it belongs to nonsense, so even if Di Renjie had an idea in his heart, he didn't say it, so he should wait for the house to be repaired, and talk to Wang Ping'an on the spot!

For the next two days, Wang Ping'an closed the door to thank the guests, and no one was seen, concentrating on the temple to prevent smallpox, and everything he thought of was recorded on paper as a memo!

Time flies quickly, this day is the day when Li Shimin Chengtianmen told the sky, the notices have long been posted everywhere in the streets and alleys, and the people in Beijing know everything, all of them know!

The people agree very much with this matter, the court has the heart to eliminate smallpox, this is a thing that everyone can get benefits, at least in the future, they don't have to worry about their children getting smallpox, they can live with peace of mind, this is better than anything else!

Before dawn, Wang Ping'an got up, and the two little girls served him to wash and eat, and then changed into the earl's official uniform on the fourth grade, the official uniform was a little fat, and they changed it to a smaller one.

Ke Lianwu said: "Young master, when will you be able to wear a purple official uniform, now this dark crimson official uniform, although it is not bad, but it looks like there is no purple extravagance!" ”

Wang Ping'an smiled: "The dark crimson one has been put on, will the purple one be far away!" ”

Out of the bedroom, I saw Di Renjie and Ouyang Li who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, all dressed brightly, and Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi also came, and unexpectedly, even Qiu Tingxuan came!

Wang Ping'an clapped his hands and said: "Today's people are really together!" Okay, let's go to Chengtianmen together! ”

Everyone went out of the Inspiration Temple, got on the car, rode on horseback, and rushed to Chengtianmen together. Although the sky has not yet brightened, there are many pedestrians on the street, and they are all walking in one direction, and it seems that they are all going to Chengtianmen.

On the road, the people recognized Wang Ping'an who was riding a white dragon horse, and greeted him loudly.

When he got to Suzaku Street, there were even more people who knew him, even if they didn't know him, when they saw others greeting him, they would wave to Wang Ping'an. Along the way, Wang Ping'an greeted countless times, the muscles on his face were almost stiff with laughter, and he returned the salute with his fists with both hands, and his shoulders were sore!

The more you go north, the more people there are, when you go to the end of Suzaku Street, when you go up to Chengtianmen Street, it is already a sea of people, the people in Beijing know that the emperor is going to sue the sky, they have come to watch, and they are also very concerned about the smallpox, after all, this is related to the vital interests, even if they have smallpox, but there are relatives who have not gotten, even if not for themselves, they have to listen to the relatives.

On Chengtianmen Street, only walk out not far, there is no way to go forward, although the sky is not bright, but Chang'an has a population of one million, and there are many Hu people from other places, even if the street is wide, but it can not stand now there are sixty or seventy thousand people, these many people, will be the long Chengtianmen Street, crowded to the water, and the carriages and horses can no longer pass.

Wang Ping'an said: "I thought we came out early, but I didn't expect that there were tens of thousands of people, earlier than we got up!" ”

Zhao Bi poked his head out of the car and asked, "What should I do, there are so many people on the street, and there are no more people in front of the palace, and we can't get by now!" ”

Di Renjie said: "This is easy, drilling the alley is, but I am afraid that I can't get to the main gate of the palace by drilling the alley, so I can only go to the side gate, such as Chongfu Gate." ”

Wang Ping'an said: "Then drill the alley and go to Chongfumen." He turned his horse's head, got off the street, walked around to the east, from the edge of the Taichang Temple, went around to the Taimiao, followed the sandwich road of the Taimiao, and then went north, from here to Chongfumen.

The people can still be seen on the road, although they are still gathered at Chengtianmen, but the number of people is much less, Wang Ping'an and his party were able to pass, walked for three quarters of an hour, and then arrived at Chongfu Gate.

There are no people in front of Chongfu Gate, it is quite far away from Chengtianmen, and it is impossible for the people to run here when they listen to the emperor's sue to heaven.

It was still far away, and I heard that on the side of the palace gate, someone shouted loudly: "Is it Lord Wang, Uncle Zheliu County, Lord Wang Ping'an?" ”

Wang Ping'an heard the shout, looked at the gate of the palace, and saw two big men running here, shouting as they ran: "Oh, it's really Lord Wang, do you still recognize our brothers?" ”

It's not dawn yet, and when you're so far away, you can see that it's me, and their eyes are pretty good! Wang Ping'an turned over from his horse and said with a smile: "Naturally, I recognize it, it's Brother Meng, Brother Meng, two brothers, have you been promoted?" He looked at the uniforms of the two, it seemed to be different from the last time, and he estimated that he was promoted!

The people who came were Meng Datian and Meng Xiaotian, they were indeed promoted, for no other reason, just because Wang Ping'an mentioned them in front of the emperor and the prince, and then they were promoted!

Seeing Wang Ping'an coming over with a few carriages, they hurriedly came over to tie their heads. Wang Ping'an is a great benefactor of the two of them, but when will they come to see them?
