readx; The results of the excavation in the basement made no one dare to believe it, there was not much gold and silver, and there were not many valuable treasures, most of them were copper coins, and the copper coins dug up were piled up into a hill, exceeding the roof, and many of them were already moldy, Li Qing'an quickly estimated that together with some of the gold and silver dug out, it was at least about 200,000 yuan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition, there are two large boxes of land deeds, most of which are fertile fields in the Jianghuai area, and many of the land deeds have been yellowed, which is estimated to be the property left by King Qi.

At this time, it was the time of the next dynasty, and several ministers of the political hall rushed to the Siqi palace when they heard the news, and each of them was frightened by this pile of copper coins like a hill.

"I remember digging up 300,000 yuan in his manor a few years ago! How can there be so many? Zhang Yun was surprised.

Li Qingan shook his head and said: "Zhang Xiangguo, you still underestimate the wealth of this prince, my soldier said that there are many traces of large boxes in the cellar, it is estimated that they contain antique treasures, which have been taken away, and these copper coins are inconvenient to carry and left here." ”

He stepped forward again and patted the box of title deeds, "These title deeds are too, he knows in his heart that these title deeds will become a piece of waste paper, so he also stays here." ”

At this time, Pei Min, who had been silent, asked solemnly: "Your Highness, what do you plan to do with these fields and property?" ”

"I invited everyone here to discuss this matter, and I suggested that all the clans that fled to the Southern Tang Dynasty should be listed, and all their land and property should be confiscated, and the money and goods obtained would be used to build water conservancy projects and run schools to reduce the burden on the imperial court."

Li Qing'an also knew in his heart that confiscating the clan's property might not necessarily get the support of the political hall, Zhang Yun would definitely have no problem, and Wang Jinyu would agree if he hesitated, but the others were more upright and would not flatter themselves wholeheartedly, so he had to make concessions and use the money for the people's livelihood, so that he was more likely to get support.

Especially Yan Zhenqing, if it is just the confiscation of property, he may not agree, but for water conservancy and running a school, he may agree to most of the surnames, his eyes looked at Yan Zhenqing,

Sure enough, Yan Zhenqing, who is dedicated to running a school, first expressed his support, "I support the idea of His Royal Highness King Zhao, the property of these clans is also taken from the people, and now it should be returned to the people for water conservancy and running schools, I am very much in favor." ”

Immediately, Zhang Yun and Wang Jin both expressed their support, and among the seven phases of the political affairs hall, Cui Ning and Guo Ziyi were on their way to Beijing, so now there are only five people, and three of them have agreed, so Li Qingan's proposal will be passed.

Pei Min knew very well what Li Qingan wanted to do, although he didn't approve of it, but he also knew that it was pointless to object, so he said, "Let me make a suggestion!" The money and other property dug up can be sold, and the land will be returned to the government, but I suggest that their Yongye land and private houses should not be sold for the time being, and that the government will temporarily manage them, and the situation will depend on the situation in the future. ”

Pei Min was more thoughtful, he knew that Li Qing'an was persecuting the clan, since it was persecution, there should be a little leeway, and it really didn't give them a way back, but the problem was more serious.

Pei Min's suggestion was unanimously supported by the other four, and Li Qingan also admitted that Pei Min was more thoughtful than himself, so he happily said: "Then let's settle it like this, this matter will be fully responsible for Yan Xiangguo, and the transfer of manpower from various ministries will be resolved through negotiation in the political affairs hall, and all the clans in the customs will be sorted out, and I will also send five thousand internal guard soldiers to assist Yan Xiangguo, and listen to Yan Xiangguo's dispatch, I hope that Yan Xiangguo will complete this matter within half a month, no problem!" ”

Yan Zhenqing thought about it, half a month was a little tight, but if there were enough manpower and hurry up, it should still be able to be completed, so he nodded, "No problem!" ”

"Good!"

What Li Qing'an wanted was Yan Zhenqing's words, "Early tomorrow morning, I will transfer all the materials of Zongzheng Temple and the Intelligence Hall to Yan Xiangguo, if Yan Xiangguo still needs any materials, you can directly obtain them from the Intelligence Hall." ”

Li Qingan would never hand over these military powers to Xiangguo, who was in the political affairs hall, but in order for this operation to be successfully completed, he did not hesitate to break this precedent.

Li Qing'an's carriage left the Siqi Palace, and Hu Peiyun, the head of the Intelligence Hall, caught up with the carriage.

"General, you are in a humble position!"

Li Qing'an commanded, the carriage slowed down, he sat in front of the window and said to Hu Peiyun slowly: "How is the situation in Chengdu?" ”

"Returning to the general, the Jiannan Intelligence Hall has invested all its manpower to monitor every move of the Southern Tang officials and clans, not only that, but the subordinates have also transferred sixty capable members from Xiangyang, pretending to be fleeing merchants and entering Shuzhong to strengthen the strength of the Jiannan Intelligence Hall, according to the latest news, they have settled down."

"Hmm!" Li Qingan nodded, expressed satisfaction with Hu Peiyun's report, and said: "I still say the same thing, safety is the first, and we must learn the lessons of the Hebei Intelligence Hall." ”

"Humble duty understands! The Humble Priest has sent a letter to Master Zhuo, emphasizing to him the importance of safety. ”

"I know, you have to report to me at any time, especially the infighting between Li Heng and the crown prince, we have to add a fire, make their struggle burn a little more fiercely, and we can do whatever it takes."

"Yes! Humiliation remembered. ”

Li Qingan thought about it, and there was one more thing that he couldn't let go, and then instructed: "There are also Xi Yuanqing and Zhao Chongxuan's families, we must speed up the rescue, this time Xi Yuanqing is a pioneer, and we can't delay it any longer." ”

"The humble post has received the news, the rescue preparations are going well, and in the past two days, we can start saving people."

Li Qing'an explained a few more words, and then left the Siqi Palace, Hu Peiyun hurried back to the intelligence hall, and now he needed to pay full attention to the progress of Chengdu.

．．．．．．．．．．．

Tianwang Temple is an inconspicuous temple in Chengdu, located outside the north city, the incense is not prosperous, after the military camp near the temple began to garrison a large number of troops in the past two years, no one dared to come to the Tianwang Temple to burn incense, making this dilapidated temple even more deserted, the young monks have run out, only a few old monks rely on planting some vegetables to make a living.

But a few months ago, the Tianwang Temple suddenly became lively again, after Xi Yuanqing and Zhao Chongyu led the army to flee north, their families in Chengdu could not escape, all were arrested, and were held hostage in the Tianwang Temple, the reason why they were imprisoned in the Tianwang Temple was because there was a military camp less than fifty steps away, garrisoned by 10,000 people, if anyone dared to come to the rescue, it would immediately attract the encirclement of the army.

Xi and Zhao's family members have a total of more than 100 people, respectively imprisoned in the east and west courtyards of the temple, because Xi Yuanqing and Zhao Chongxuan still have some prestige in the Jiannan army, so the officials in charge of detention did not dare to abuse too much, just put their two families under house arrest in the courtyard, and re-heightened and strengthened the wall, and sent people to guard the gate of the courtyard, every day will send some rice grain and vegetables into it, and there are wells in both courtyards, so that they can cook and live by themselves.

Nearly four months have passed in a flash, and the boring and boring days have passed, and the guards have gradually become paralyzed, the guards used to count the number of people four times a day, morning, noon, evening, and night, because they got a little bribe from the two families, and the two families continued to protest, so they canceled the number of people counted at night and in the middle of the night, and only counted twice a day. Contact the barracks in case of an emergency.

Tianwang Temple is not empty all around, the west is close to the barracks of 10,000 people, the south is dozens of acres of vegetable fields, and then forward is a village, there are more than 100 families in the village, and then one mile forward, it is the city, standing at the gate of the temple, you can clearly see the magnificent city wall of Chengdu.

To the north of the temple is a long and narrow hill in the east-west direction, the hill is very low, covered with dense forest, the hill extends for more than ten miles, the temple is just at the end of the hill, the trees are exceptionally lush, the forest is only 20 steps away from the temple, and the focus of the guard is also patrolling this section.

To the west of the temple is a small river, which is known locally as white water, and the river flows into the Min River, which is an important transportation channel for the local people as it passes through densely populated areas.

That night, the sky was overcast, the moonlight and starlight were covered by thick dark clouds, the night was exceptionally dark, the Temple of the Heavenly King was as usual, the families of the two families fell asleep early, the four guards sat outside the courtyard gate, yawning boredly, the courtyard gate was locked, the fist big copper lock hung on the iron fence, only the leader of the guards had the key.

"Damn, when is this going to be a head!"

One of the guards scolded in a low voice, his eyes glancing to the backyard from time to time, and faintly he could hear the noise and swearing, which was the noise of other people gathering to gamble, and the noise made his heart itch.

"Second baby, you watch first, I'll go to a thatched house."

The guard got up and was about to go to the backyard, but another guard named Erwazi grabbed him, "Let's talk about it first, only play two hands, come and change me!" ”

The guard smiled, broke free of his hand, and ran to the backyard, and when he ran, one of the guards guarding the west courtyard on the opposite side also patted his buttocks, got up and followed him to the backyard, and the guards were left with only two people.

"Let's sleep!"

One yawned and lay down in the corner, drowsy, while the other squinted and began to nap, when there was a 'Whoa!' He stood in front of the iron gate and watched for a long time, as if a child was crying, and asked, "What happened?" ”

"It's okay! The child kicked over the urinal, just clean it up. A woman replied.

"Damn, a lot of shit!"

The guard yawned, slipped into the futon in the corner, and fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, more than a dozen black shadows appeared in the mountain forest behind the temple, and at some point in the small river not far away, a small boat was moored, there were more than 20 boats, and the black shadows rushed into the forest from the boat.

These people are the members of the Jiannan Intelligence Hall who were ordered to rescue Xi and Zhao's family members, in fact, as early as two months ago, they started to act, because there are many old people and children in the family, if they go over the wall, it is easy to alarm the guards and the military camp, if they are found to have escaped, the matter will be serious, and now the two family members are almost forgotten by Li Heng, once Li Heng remembers them, plus there is a suspicion of escape, it is likely that they will all be executed.

Therefore, the Intelligence Hall considered a lot of plans, and finally decided to use the safest way to dig tunnels to rescue people and gods unconsciously.

They found more than a dozen tomb robbers, rewarded them with heavy money, and it took nearly two months to finally dig out an underground passage about fifty zhang long, from the edge of the forest close to the river, all the way to the room of the east and west courtyards, considering the difficulty of the old man, so the tunnel is relatively wide, five feet high, three feet wide, people can walk in the tunnel with their heads down.

After only a few moments, a thin figure crawled out of the corner of the kitchen in the east courtyard, which was the exit of the tunnel, usually hidden by a bundle of branches.

"Goo!"

After a few night owl screams, a person slipped in from the main room next door, he was Xi Yuanqing's third brother Xi Yuanping, they had been contacted, just in the past few days, as long as there is no moon at night, you can escape, today the sky is overcast during the day, and the Xi family knows that the escape is tonight.

Xi Yuanping ran into the kitchen, and the man in black immediately asked in a low voice, "Are you ready?" ”

Xi Yuanping nodded, "It's all ready." ”

The two immediately moved a water tank away, and a big hole was exposed in the wall behind the water tank, which was dug by the Xi family, and they could get over directly when they escaped, without being discovered by the guards through the yard.

Moving the water tank, a man first came out of the hole in the wall, this is Xi Yuanqing's eldest brother Xi Yuanjin.

"Jump into the tunnel, there's someone down there!"

The Xi family members drilled out of the hole in the wall one by one, jumped into the tunnel, and finally helped out an old woman, this is Xi Yuanqing's grandmother, who is more than eighty years old, she insisted on being the last to go, and the two grandsons helped her out on the left and right.

"How is the Zhao family?" The old woman asked in a trembling voice.

"Don't worry, grandmother! We've dug two tunnels, and we're picking people up there. ”

"That's good."

"Grandmother, I'll go down and carry you first."

Xi Yuanping jumped into the tunnel first, and the other two carefully put the old man down, at this time, everyone left, and the man in black checked it one last time, locked the door, blocked the entrance of the cave, covered the entrance of the tunnel with a branch, and then slipped away like a monkey.

．．．．．．．

The tunnel was spacious, and the two families retreated very smoothly, they hardly stopped, and after coming out of the tunnel mouth, they ran directly to the river to get on the boat, and the two men in black were responsible for counting the number of people.

One hundred and seventeen people, and the last one to escape was the thin man in black.

"Are you all right?"

"It's all out, and there's not one left."

"Alright, let's go!"

Several black-clothed people quickly ran out of the forest, got on the boat, and more than two dozen small boats slowly sailed towards the Minjiang River not far away.
