The full moon hung high, and the clear light fell on the mausoleum, illuminating the silence and desolation.

Lin Xing sat in the carriage and watched the guards of the Shizi Mansion look for secret passages along the mausoleum, and couldn't help but observe their expressions by the moonlight.

Zhou Yan was standing beside her, leaning against the carriage with his hands in his arms, and when he looked up inadvertently, he saw Lin Xingzheng staring at those guards with burning eyes, biting his lower lip unconsciously.

Because he was so engrossed, he bit a tooth mark on his thin pink lip in the moonlight.

The words white and slightly flawed unconsciously appeared in my mind.

Zhou Yan looked stunned, slowly retracted his gaze, and stood up straight unhurriedly.

Sensing the movements of the people around her, Lin Xing turned around and asked, "What's wrong with Shizi?" But what's wrong here? ”

Even the voice is so clear.

Zhou Yan shook his head, his gaze casually swept over her face, "It's cold, you better go in." ”

"It's not cold at night, I can stand it." After speaking, Lin Xing glanced at the soldiers who were still looking for the secret passage over there, leaned towards Zhou Yan's side, and said in a low voice, "I observed the people in the Shizi Mansion just now, and when I saw that their expressions were as usual, I thought that the spies were not among these people. ”

After all, it used to be data, and Lin Xing turned the expressions of those people into data to analyze and compare them one by one, and soon came to a conclusion.

"You're helping me." Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows, with a clear face.

It was clearly an ordinary sentence, but when it came out of his mouth, it was a little more tender.

Lin Xing turned his head to look at him, as if he was smiling, "Shizi is the backer of the Zhao family, of course I have to hug Shizi's thighs." ”

She won't worry about Zhou Yan's thoughts about her life like she did before, this guy is just talking about it.

Zhou Yan knew the deep meaning she implied, but he was angry and annoyed in his heart, and was about to ask her to see if she only dared to say but not do, Zhang Ping hurriedly ran over.

"Shizi, I've found the secret passage!"

Lin Xing was shocked and immediately jumped down from the carriage, Zhou Yan raised his hand to help, but saw that she had already stood firm, and couldn't help but smile.

Lin Xing didn't pay attention to his expression, only looked at Zhang Ping, and said, "Can someone go in and investigate?" Is there anything to be found in the secret passage? ”

At first, it was just a suspicion, but now that she really found the secret passage, Lin Xing was still quite surprised.

At the risk of angering Tianyan, building such a large mausoleum must not be a simple thing.

"The humble post has sent someone in to investigate, and after touching a stick of incense, the prince and Mrs. Zhao will be able to go down." Zhang Ping said truthfully.

Before the time for a stick of incense arrived, the soldiers investigating below came up with torches, and could not hide their shock, and reported: "There are two mountains of gold and silver below, and I can't determine how many silver taels there are!" ”

The guards of the Shizi Mansion have also seen the world, and if they can make him show such a shocked look, the silver below will only be more, not less.

Thinking of this, Lin Xing turned his head to look at Zhou Yan, who immediately took the torch in the guard's hand and asked Zhang Ping to lead the way in front and go to the tomb in person.

Lin Xing followed behind Zhou Yan and carefully carried the hem of her skirt to the tomb.

Although she didn't know what an ordinary mausoleum looked like, she also knew that there should be an inner and outer mausoleum, but after this tomb came down, it was empty.

At this time, the empty tomb is neatly placed with three gold mountains and four silver mountains.

Lin Xing showed a shocked look like a pathfinder guard, until she heard Zhou Yan laughing at her and said, "Tuck your chin away." She came back to her senses.

In addition to the hill made of gold and silver bricks, there are also many boxes with silver taels and jewelry, which add up to the financial revenue of the Daqing Dynasty for a year.

This is Zhou Yan's original words.

Although Lin Xing didn't know how Zhou Yan knew about the financial income of the Daqing Dynasty, it didn't prevent her from showing surprise.

"Where did all this money come from?" She took a gold brick and weighed it, and it was enough.

It is obvious that a small workshop can do it by melting gold into such a gold brick.

She looked over and over the top of the gold brick, and sure enough, in the bottom corner of the gold brick, she saw two small words.

"Full of memorization." She read those two words and asked, "What does that mean?" ”

Zhou Yan also saw the word Manji from the place she pointed to, Lin Xing didn't know, but he knew it clearly, this Manji referred to the Manji gold number in the capital.

However, the Manji Gold Account was not opened by locals in the capital, and it is said that the shopkeeper behind the scenes was once an orphan of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

When he was in the capital, he also checked out out of curiosity, but unfortunately the shopkeeper hid too deeply, so he didn't know where to start.

"It's the name of a golden number." Zhou Yan looked down at the gold brick in his hand, and Yingting's brows were twisted together, "It's just that this gold number is rarely used, could it be that this is a territory full of gold numbers?" ”

But if it was really the place where the gold number was used to hide gold, what did he do with so much gold? Why is it so close to Tanglin Pharmacy?

Although Yuzhou is not far from the capital, there is a more convenient place to store gold and silver near the capital, why go all the way to Yuzhou to build a mausoleum that exceeds the regulations?

In an instant, many doubts came to my mind.

Zhou Yan didn't delve into it, but asked people to clear the traces of their coming, so as not to let people notice, and then left ten people nearby to watch, and he took Lin Xing back to the city in a carriage.

"The prince is not going to report to His Majesty?" On the carriage, Lin Xing was very curious.

Not to mention the gold and silver treasures that steal from the sky in the mausoleum, the mausoleum that surpasses the regulations alone is enough to make the Son of Heaven angry, and when the time comes, it will be easier to disturb the muddy waters of Yuzhou, and then want to investigate the affairs of the Zhao family?

"There are always craftsmen in the construction of the mausoleum, and the fact that we did not see the bodies in the tomb proves that the craftsmen were released. Next, you only need to follow the vine and touch the melon, and you can get something by following those craftsmen, and you don't need to tell Your Majesty, which will cause the Son of Heaven to be angry. Zhou Yan closed his eyes and explained.

"This matter is ...... with the people behind the Tanglin Pharmacy," Lin Xing stopped talking halfway through speaking, staring at Zhou Yan with burning eyes.

Even she could guess that the mausoleum might be inseparable from the Tanglin Pharmacy, why did Zhou Yan pretend not to know?

"Lin Xing," Zhou Yan opened his mouth to call her name, and slowly opened his eyes, his gaze was three points colder than the full moon outside the window, "Even if I want to move the prince, it is as difficult as ascending to the sky, the emperor is only a little jealous of him, not wanting to abolish the prince." There is no need to say anything about it in the future. ”

In the past, I always felt that Zhou Yan did not put the prince in his eyes, but now Lin Xing knew that it was not that he had not put it in his eyes, but that he could not be shaken at all.

The crown prince and His Majesty are the foundation of the country, how can he be a prince of Chang'an who can move if he wants to?

So the more we do that, the more we have to think about it in the long run.

And Zhou Yan came all the way to Yuzhou and started from the Tanglin Pharmacy, for this reason.

It is precisely because of this that he asked the soldiers to clean up the traces in the mausoleum, and must not alarm the prince at this time.

Lin Xing couldn't help but wonder, what grievances were there between him and the prince?
