Chapter 456: Peaceful Thaumaturgy

More people were moved to this side, digging around the oddly patterned sloping wall.

As the surrounding earth and rocks continue to accumulate near the entrance of the cave, the walls are getting deeper and deeper.

Finally, someone exclaimed, "There's a hole here!"

Ning Ze immediately led people forward, and sure enough, he found that a big black hole was dug next to it, and he threw a torch into it to test, it was about ten meters high, and it was quite empty inside, and he couldn't see anything.

"Lord Wang, there must be a big secret inside!" Song Gao said affirmatively.

"Hmm!" Ning Ze nodded, "We have to figure out what is in here." ”

"Brother, let me take someone in and investigate!" Dewey pleaded.

Wang Wei next to him said: "General Du's golden body, how can he be in danger? It is better for the last general to take the lead and go inside to find out!"

"Ghost Face, don't fight with me!" Dewey was displeased, "As far as your little ability is concerned, you are no match for me!"

"General Du, coming to this cave is not a martial arts competition. Wang Wei replied, "With the experience of the last general, I believe it is more suitable than you!"

The two were arguing, and Ning Ze came over to interrupt: "Okay, what are you arguing about?" Ghost face, you are more cautious in comparison, so you will take someone down to investigate." Remember to put safety first!"

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Wang Wei replied respectfully.

Dewey was a little depressed, but Ning Ze opened his mouth, he was always good at disobeying orders.

Ning Ze sent someone to fetch some sturdy ropes, and tied them to the rockeries, big trees or house pillars next to them, and pulled them by his soldiers to ensure that they could bring people up at any time. Then let Wang Wei lead a team and descend along the rope to the bottom of the cave.

When Wang Wei and the others reached the ground, they lit torches one after another to illuminate the interior.

When the fire came up, it was found that the place where it landed was a passage, and the back was buried by earth and rocks and impassable, and the front did not know where to lead.

Wang Wei loudly reported the situation below, and at the same time asked to go forward.

Ning Ze agreed and instructed Wang Wei and his subordinates to pay attention to safety.

Wang Wei led people to the depths of the passage, and after a while, someone let out an exclamation.

"What's going on?!" Ning Ze hurriedly asked.

Staying near the rope, the soldier in charge of the message ran inside, and after a while came out and replied: "Lord Yu, many skeletons have been found in the depths of the passage, all with weapons and armor on their bodies. ”

"Weapons and armor?" the Wang family looked at each other, but what they cared about the most was the word skeleton.

"Is it really a tomb?" the prince of the Wang family was uncomfortable, turned his head and said to Master Wang, "Dad, there are dead people at the feet of our family, no wonder they are cold and swishing on weekdays." Why don't you move now?"

"Don't make any noise, let's figure out what's going on inside. "Master Wang forced himself to be calm, but he actually had the idea of moving.

Just kidding, can anyone sleep soundly knowing that they have a bunch of dead people at their feet?

Wang Wei led people to explore deeply, and after a long time, he finally returned to the entrance, raised his head and shouted: "Lord Wang, after investigation, it is certain that this is an ancient tomb. The identity of the owner of the tomb is not ordinary, in addition to a large number of burial soldiers, there are also many skeletons wearing maid costumes. In addition, there is an astonishing number of accompanying collections, including various weapons and armor, gold and silver jewelry, bamboo slips, etc., and there are many rare treasures, an astonishing number!"

"Buried at the foot of my house, isn't that our family?" said the prince of the Wang family, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly.

"Smack!" Master Wang slapped him on the back of the head and turned to Ning Ze, "This tomb has nothing to do with our family, it was discovered by General Song, of course it belongs to the imperial court!"

Ning Ze glanced at him, and said in his heart that this old man Wang had a clear idea, and if a rich family wanted to possess these wealth, it was simply self-defeating. What's more, Ning Ze's people are all here, since they have found such an ancient tomb, how can they let go of the treasures inside.

Ignoring the father and son of the Wang family, he shouted directly at Wang Wei: "Have you found out the identity of the owner of the tomb?"

Wang Wei raised his head and replied, "The owner of the tomb has been weathered, and there are no objects in it to prove his identity. If you want to know who is buried inside, you can only take out all the treasures, and then ask the Minister of the Imperial Cabinet to identify them, and deduce them by the approximate time. ”

"It's too troublesome!" Ning Ze shook his head, "It doesn't matter who the owner of the tomb is, but the burial goods inside are of great use to the imperial court, which can replenish the treasury and use it for the benefit of all people." The order was given to take out all valuable items without disturbing the tomb owner and the mourners, while keeping the tomb intact and not alarming the tomb owner and the mourners. ”

"Whoa!"

Ning Ze sent more soldiers into the tomb to cooperate with Wang Wei to carry the treasures.

Turning his head to look at Song Gao, this guy is really a super lucky general, and there are always surprises with him.

After that, he turned to the Wang family and said to the king: "Since there is an ancient tomb below, it is not very good to live on it. Moreover, the owner of the tomb looks noble, and it is taboo to be trampled under his feet all the time. Lone wanted to buy the mansion and build a tower to honor the tomb owner and suppress the souls of the dead. ”

The Wang family knew that there was a huge tomb at their feet, so who would dare to continue to live? The old man Wang nodded busily: "Yes, yes! I will move immediately, and I don't want to stay longer for a moment." But it's ...... money."

"Don't worry, how much this house should cost, not a penny will be lost to you! And Lone will order the local officials to assist you in finding a new place to live as soon as possible. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!!"

When Mr. Wang got the money, he immediately handed over the deed, and with the assistance of local officials, the whole family moved out one after another to buy a new house.

Some neighbors near Wang's house heard that there was a huge tomb at his feet, and there were quite a lot of dead people lying there, and the timid did not dare to continue to live, so they asked the government for help, hoping to sell their current houses and stay away from the tomb.

Local officials got Ning Ze's order and immediately carried out a new plan, hoping that the people who would move out of the city would exchange houses in other urban areas or buy them with money to help them move.

This area is going to be built as a monument tower or something like that, as a cultural relic.

Some of them were more daring and did not mind the people who lived on the sidelines, but let them go, but a large number of soldiers surrounded the palace and forbade anyone to come near it.

No one will be given the opportunity to sneak into the tomb and steal the treasure until the burial goods are emptied.

Almost half of the soldiers in the city were mobilized, and it took a total of seven days for Ning Ze to finally empty the funeral goods, store them in the official treasury, and prepare to transport them to Huajun after being counted and included in the national treasury.

The palace and some of the surrounding empty houses were all torn down and preparations for the construction of the memorial tower began, with local officials taking full responsibility.

When the belongings were counted, Ning Ze personally came to supervise the scene to ensure that no one took the opportunity to fill their pockets. At the same time, if he fancied it himself, some things would not be included in the list and would be taken away by Ning Ze directly.

"Lord Wang, after counting, there are a total of 340,000 ...... gold"

"How much?"

"Oh, Xia Guan is wrong, there are 300,000 gold in total!"

"Nonsense! Obviously there are only 140,000 gold!" Song Gao next to him interjected.

The corners of the official's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes! The official miscalculated, and the gold dug up from the tomb was 140,000 taels in total. ”

Dewey, Wang Wei, and Ding Mu were accustomed to it, and most of the windfalls like this would go into Ning Ze's private treasury before they were basically collected into the national treasury. In fact, the whole court and the central government know it, otherwise every time the treasury is tight, Liu Yuanxiang asks Ning Ze for money to subsidize?

There is also the money and grain seized by Ning Ze in the war, most of which also went into the private treasury.

It's just that Ning Ze, a "big corrupt official", will not cling to money, he will not hesitate where it should be used, and if the treasury needs money, he will throw it hard.

In fact, his private treasury and the treasury are almost identical, and the money of the treasury is equal to his money, and his money is equal to the money of the treasury. It's especially cool to hold in your hand.

After all, the empress and the crown prince of the dynasty belonged to the Ning family, and now even those "pro-imperial factions" have accepted their fate, turning a blind eye to this, and they no longer dare to openly contradict Ning Ze, nor dare to find fault with him.

Dewey and the others also knew that it seemed that Ning Ze had swallowed 200,000 gold, as long as Empress Liu Yuanxiang said a word, the money could be returned to the treasury at any time, and there was no need to talk too much.

After the number of gold and silver was registered, the inventory of treasures began one by one.

Ning Ze sat on the side and played with the gold and silver money in the box, which was quite comfortable.

"Lord Wang!" Song Gao shuttled through the treasury, going around among the countless civil officials who counted the treasures, as if he had found something, and directly asked a civil official to erase the records, holding it and running in front of Ning Ze, "What do you think this is?"

"Huh?" Seeing that Song Gao was holding a rare jade slip, its appearance looked the same as the bamboo slip, but it was connected by pieces of jade plates. It was really extravagant to make bamboo slips out of white jade! Ning Ze stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it curiously.

"Huh?" Dewey, Wang Wei, and Ding Mu also came over, including Ning Yong behind Ning Ze, all attracted by Yu Jian.

"Lord Wang, only you are qualified to use such treasures!" Song Gao looked flattering.

"You!" Ning Ze laughed, this henchman is very good at patting sycophants.

"Brother, it's quite rare to use jade as a simplification!" Dewey said, "I don't know what it's about, open it and take a look!"

"Hmm~" Ning Ze doesn't actually need to open it, the system has already appeared with a prompt.

【Chengping Thaumaturgy】After reading, you will learn the art of warfare - Chengping thaumaturgy.

Reduces Attack by 20, Defense by 20, Destructive by 20, Mobility by 10, and Morale by 40. Master the fire meter, and the water station is a fire attack ship.

The moment he saw the attributes, Ning Zexin said Isn't this just a copy of the Taiping technique?

Anyway, I use the fire meter quite slippery, and I still need to master it?

Wait! The game uses fire in the form of skills, which is not the same as ordering soldiers to set fires, and I will never learn this tactic, and I can also set fires out of thin air? If you really want to do that, wouldn't it be more realistic to talk about "witchcraft"?

Now that I'm strong enough, if I really want to be like a game, who can fight against me? No matter how smart Sima Fa is, he will be so angry that he vomits blood when he encounters this kind of cheating ability, right?

Even if you don't mention the fire plan, just reducing the morale of the enemy army, and then using the First Emperor for your own army, is already very!
