Great Tang Southern Emperor

Zhu Yuming said seriously: "Then what if? What if the environment forces us to do so?"

Liu Yi's face became serious, and he looked at Zhu Yuming seriously: "If there is such a day, third brother, I hope you can kill me before I fall."

"Yeah." Nodding heavily, Zhu Yuming also said loudly: "I think so too, if I really will degenerate to this point, I hope you can kill me in advance, I would rather die than change. into this."

"it is good."

Zheng Yuan just heard this, and immediately laughed: "What are you talking about? How could we become such a person? You don't have much confidence in yourself, do you?"

Zhu Yuming said in a low voice: "Xu Guozhang must have thought the same way ten years ago, right? But now? Hasn't it become like this?"

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be arguing, Liu Yi quickly said: "Okay, okay, let's talk about the future, now let's talk about the immediate thing first. How about it, Ming Yuan (Zheng Yuan's character), find the Lin family's treasure house Is the treasury gone?"

Zheng Yuan shook his head and said: "I found it after looking for it, but there is a mechanism in the treasure house, and it may be difficult to open it for a while."

"It's okay, as long as you find it." Liu Yi heaved a sigh of relief. It's nothing if you can't open it for a while. If it doesn't work, just blow it up with dynamite.

Lin Zhengnan, who was lying on the ground, suddenly said: "I said, it's too much to open my family's treasure house in such a blatant way, even if you are officials and I are criminals? Do criminals have no human rights?"

Zheng Yuan frowned and said, "Didn't your money be squeezed from the people? Or, what do you want?"

Lin Zhengnan said shyly, "What can I do? I just want to make a deal with you. You answer me a question. In exchange, I will give you the method to open the treasure house. How about it?"

Zheng Yuan sneered and said, "Could it be that without you, we can't open the treasure house? You underestimate the students we asked Tian Shuyuan, don't you?"

Lin Zhengnan smiled and said: "Of course I didn't want to see you, there is no door in the world that cannot be opened. But I have to remind you that this treasure house was designed by a brilliant mechanism engineer hired by my ancestors. There are more than ten steps to open it. It is impossible to crack it without ten days without knowing the method. Of course, you can also use explosives to blow up the treasure house, but what I want to tell you is that the inner wall of the treasure house in my house But it is made of marble, and the thickness alone is five feet thick. If you use explosives to explode, a small amount will not help, but a large amount will cause the danger of blowing up the entire treasure house. This is not what you want to see, right? ?”

Liu Yi looked at him: "You are so easy to talk to?"

"I can't help it. I've been caught by you, and the account book is in your hands. Instead of insisting on pleading not guilty, it's better to take the initiative. Maybe I can earn something back, such as leaving a bloodline for my family or something. "Lin Zhengnan was quite open-minded, perhaps because he knew that he could not escape this catastrophe, and his family members were also full of crimes. I am afraid that the hope of surviving is not great. Instead of this, it is better to take the treasure as a condition and take the initiative to exchange some right ones. things that are beneficial to you.

"You still have to go to the county town to arrest people. You shouldn't have much time to stay here, right? Is it okay to give an answer or not?"

"What do you want to ask? As long as I know and can say it, I will naturally not hide it." After thinking about it, Liu Yi still agreed to the deal: "But I can't agree to the request to leave a bloodline for your family. After all, you The plot is a bit serious. But I can assure you that I am willing to intercede for you and mediate from it. Your Highness is not someone who kills, so it should not be a problem to save a trace of blood for you."

"You actually said that the King of Yue was not the one to devour? I said, my little lord, won't your conscience hurt if you say such a thing?" Lin Zhengnan looked at Liu Yi speechlessly. Can such a young man really be able to do big things? ?Always feel a little unreliable?

"But His Highness is kind to his own people. His cruelty is only for foreign enemies." Zhu Yuming argued, "When did you think he killed us Tang people?"

"What are you talking to him about?" Zheng Yuan urged: "I said, do you want to ask or not? If you don't ask, we will leave, and the transaction will be void."

"Ask, of course." Lin Zhengnan said hastily: "My question is very simple, that is, how did you find the account book so quickly? My account book is kept very secret, and no one should know it except me. How do you do this? Found it soon?"

Liu Yi didn't expect him to ask this question, and suddenly asked in amazement, "That's all you asked?"

Lin Zhengnan nodded and said, "Of course, I have to figure this out, otherwise even if I die, I won't be able to close my eyes."

"Your curiosity is really strong enough." Zheng Yuan looked at Lin Zhengnan's eyes full of curiosity, couldn't help but shuddered, and shook his head: "It's actually very simple, we are placed in the inner room of Lin Family Fort Thanks to you, they have already found out where your account book is hidden, but they didn't hand it over to us in the first place."

Lin Zhengnan immediately retorted: "It's impossible. My castle is well-defended. There are few people coming and going on weekdays. I haven't recruited outsiders in the past two years. How could your people come in?"

"We can't install people, but that doesn't mean we can't buy them." Zhu Yuming sneered and said, "You can't imagine that the housekeeper you thought was your confidant was actually bought by His Highness three years ago, otherwise you thought it would be so easy for us Just to catch you? It was your steward who led us here."

"What? How is this possible? Lin Zhen has been in my family for decades, since my grandfather's time. We haven't treated him badly in these years. Why did he betray us?"

Zhu Yuming shrugged his shoulders: "It's hard for me to explain this, I can only say that people's greed is endless."

"Damn it." Lin Zhengnan closed his eyes in pain: "I don't have any doubts. This time, I didn't lose wrongly. I just hope that my lord will also abide by the second agreement and try to save as much blood as possible for my Lin family."

Liu Yi said indifferently: "It's natural. As I said, His Highness is not a person who kills indiscriminately. If he wants to kill, he will only kill the guilty. Of course, if everyone in your family is guilty, I really don't have that." There is a way."

Lin Zhengnan hurriedly said: "Of course not, our family has committed a lot of sins, and we have nothing to say when we die, but my little grandson is only two years old this year, and he can't even speak. He is innocent and clean. Please leave him alone." One life."

"That's good, I will try my best to mediate it, but I dare not guarantee the effect. After all, I am just an acting county magistrate under the seventh rank." Liu Yi also said quickly, if it is a heinous person, he I really can't guarantee it, but since it's just a two-year-old child, it's easy to handle. He's at least [-]% sure to save it—the premise is that the crimes of the Lin family are not enough to punish the Yi tribe, but with a small Lin family , It should be impossible to commit such a serious crime, or they are not qualified to commit such a crime.

"Thank you very much then."

"Actually, you can also contribute to it." Zheng Yuan said suddenly: "You should have seen it too. After we came this time, the officialdom in the entire Zhenyang County will almost have to be changed. If you can cooperate with our work, Take the crime and make meritorious deeds, and wait until the situation stabilizes."

"I understand, I will definitely cooperate with you." Lin Zhengnan nodded quickly and assured, he has accepted his fate now, and now he only wants to keep a trace of blood in the world, so as not to go down and face his ancestors silently.

"Very good, you are very knowledgeable about current affairs." Zheng Yuan took out a pen and paper and said, "Now, Master Lin, please cooperate with me and explain the current situation in Zhenyang County."

"it is good"

Chapter 321

Chapter 95 A lot of small money

Here we got the method to open the treasure house mechanism, Liu Yi and Zhu Yuming hurried to the treasure house, leaving Zheng Yuan to count the current situation in Zhenyang County.

"Brother, what do you think will be in the treasure house?" Zhu Yu was obviously very excited along the way, and chattered endlessly: "This is my first treasure hunt, don't let me down."

"Didn't you see this right away?" Liu Yi was also very excited in his heart, but he pretended to be calm and said: "The Lin family has entrenched in Zhenyang for nearly a hundred years, and the entire Zhenyang County has been under their control for a hundred years. The money is probably unimaginable, at least our initial construction funds should be enough, and maybe we can even transport part of it back to Yuezhou."

"Yes, the front line is fighting now. If we can provide some money and food, it will surely solve a lot of troubles for His Highness. How about we transport all the seized goods back to Yuezhou?" Zhu Yuming said excitedly, after all, they had just walked out The school gate has not given birth to any other thoughts, but is only focused on solving Li Zhen's troubles.If this matter is done by some old foxes in the officialdom, it will not be so simple-they may not be greedy for themselves, but they will always keep some property for themselves in case of accidents.

"Let's go and see how much it is. As for sending all the money back, let's not talk about it in the future. After sending all the money back, what should we use to build the factory?" Liu Yi rolled his eyes at him: "How much did we bring on this trip?" You also know about money, even if the money in the warehouse of the county government has not been touched by those corrupt officials, if you take away the part to appease the people, the rest may not be able to build a few factories. Do you think that with the disposition of those corrupt officials, they will leave Don't you keep the money in the county government warehouse? I'm afraid that the county government warehouse is cleaner than licking it at this moment. Without money, how can we appease the people and implement His Highness's plan? How can we build factories? Without factories, how can we solve the problem? The people's food problem? The people are not full, so how can anyone have the energy to work? No one is working, and that is a major event that delays His Highness. Actually, I think His Highness sent us here, I'm afraid it's just With such an idea in mind, these local clan officials are full of crimes and riches, so they ransacked their homes as our starting capital, not only punishing corrupt officials, but also getting money, and realizing our revenge, killing three birds with one stone."

Zhu Yuming asked: "But according to the rules, the money stolen from the house should be handed over, right?"

"Rules are dead, people are alive, and living people can be suffocated by urine?" Liu Yi rolled his eyes and said, "As for the investigation from above, His Royal Highness will help us, what are you afraid of?"

"Uh..." How does this sound like you're cheating His Highness?

"Let's go quickly, after the house is searched, we still need to calculate the accounts."

"coming."

Arriving outside the treasure house of the Lin Family Fort, there are already soldiers guarding the place. Beside him, Lu Bin, a student from the Academy of Engineering, is fiddling with the door, trying to crack the lock, but he can't open it for a while.

Zhu Yuming raised his eyebrows and asked, "Abin, what's the matter? Did you open it?"

Hearing this, Lu Bin looked up, and seeing that it was his own person, he immediately shook his head: "It must be no problem to open it, but this lock is so exquisitely made, I need time, at least five days."

"Forget it, let me try." Zhu Yuming pulled Lu Bin away, pretending to fiddle with the lock for a while, and with the last pull, there was only a "click" sound of the mechanism starting, and "squeak" mixed iron The gate of casting was just opened.

"How did you do it?" The eyeballs of Lu Bin, who was about to watch the joke next to him, almost fell out, and then he suddenly realized: "You just asked Lin Zhengnan for the unlocking method, right? A landlord and old man like him is so Is it easy to talk?"

"Lin Zhengnan is a smart man, he took the initiative to tell you how to open the door." Liu Yi smiled and told the process, and then said: "Come on, let's go in and see how much treasure is there in the Lin family?"

"Go." Zhu Yuming took the lead and walked in, followed by Lu Bin and Liu Yi.

A soldier lit a torch, and the sight that caught everyone's eyes stunned everyone

"Ah~"

"Wow~"
