Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 549 Hide!What do you think!

"In this way, all the possibilities are verified when compared."

"Military pay..."

Qin Wenyuan said decisively, "It must be hidden in the palace!"

Although there is no hard evidence, Qin Wenyuan believes in his own judgment.

He believed that the military pay must be hidden in the palace compound!
Only the palace compound is the safest!
Nowhere else, under the circumstances, was safe.

At the same time, only the imperial palace met the condition of not being able to move for ten years.

But, where will those military salaries be hidden in the palace?
Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes.

The palace has a large area, and there are many places to hide things.

Therefore, how to find out those military salaries is not an easy task.

Qin Wenyuan pondered for a moment, then slowly let out a breath, and said, "You must find a way to enter the palace!"

Since it is speculated that the military salary is hidden in the palace, it must be checked in the palace.

Only where the military salary is really found can the next step be taken.

After all, in court, inferences are not recognized, evidence and facts are recognized.

But how to enter this palace?

If Qin Wenyuan regained his identity, it would be easy for him to enter the palace.

Just brush your face.

Li Shimin gave him the privilege of freely entering and leaving the palace. For Qin Wenyuan, what was forbidden to others was nothing at all.

But now he still has to hide his identity and investigate the case secretly, so as not to startle the enemy and force the people behind the scenes to jump over the wall.

So he can't be exposed.

But without being exposed, it is not an easy task to sneak into the palace.

Qin Wenyuan knew that the palace controlled by Li Shimin was strictly guarded.

Fortunately, Qin Wenyuan's ability is appropriate, so he easily turned inside.

Entering inside, the palace area is very large, and the functional divisions are also obvious.

The place where the emperor works and where the emperor lives is the most heavily guarded, so no accident, even the relatives of the emperor would not dare to hide the money there.

After all, even if Li Shimin had just boarded the plane at that time, he didn't have too much control over the palace, but he didn't even have control over where he lived and worked.

Well, this can rule out the two most important places!

What is left after that is the imperial garden, the place where the harem concubines live, and the place where the palace guards like Qianniuwei live.

Among them, the place where Qianniuwei lives, unless the person behind the scenes buys all the Qianniuwei, it is absolutely impossible to hide the salary in the place where Qianniuwei lives.

After all, if he really has this ability, wouldn't it be good to rebel directly?
What kind of money are you hiding?
After Qianniuwei was eliminated, there was only the place where the Imperial Garden lived, concubines, princesses, princes and eunuchs lived.

There are people coming and going in the Royal Garden every day, but the probability is actually not high.

It is very difficult for outsiders to enter the place where concubines live, and there is a lot of money, so it is definitely not easy to transport, so if a large amount of things suddenly enters the harem, no one will find out.

After all, those concubines are also in a competitive relationship. If they find something abnormal, they will never let go of this opportunity to deal with their competitors.

Therefore, the probability is not high.

What about the place where the court ladies and eunuchs live?
There are mixed people here, if you can bribe the managers, it's not impossible.

So, there is a certain probability.

But after all, there are so many people with mixed eyes, if there is someone who can't hold the door, it will be easy to leak out.

Coupled with the turmoil at that time, the atmosphere inside and outside the palace was oppressive, if some court ladies and eunuchs really knew the inside story, they would probably leak some rumors, and it would not be ten years without any news.

Therefore, there is a certain probability of this, but the probability is not high.

Looking at it this way, it seems that all places are impossible.

Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes.

He suddenly thought of a place.

In this place, it might not be impossible.

Leng Gong! !
With a determined goal, Qin Wenyuan moved forward without encountering any obstacles along the way, and soon came to the place where Leng Gong was.

This cold palace is called Hanfang Palace.

As the name suggests, it is really cold enough.

Hanfang Hall is located in the northeast corner of the imperial palace, and its location is also very remote.

And along the way, Qin Wenyuan found that there were not many guards here.

After all, in normal times, no one would come.

Only concubines or members of the royal family who have been punished will come here to reflect.

So under normal circumstances, there is no one here.

Therefore, there is no need to guard where there is no one.

It is only necessary for the maids and eunuchs to clean regularly to ensure that when someone is punished, it will not be too dirty.

Qin Wenyuan looked at the Hanfang Palace in front of him, but didn't go directly there.

On the one hand, the Hanfang Hall is locked at the moment, and no one can enter unless there is anyone punished.

On the other hand, it was Qin Wenyuan who was worried about the person behind the scenes, and might send someone to watch Hanfang Palace secretly.

If the military salary is really hidden in the Hanfang Palace, then he will definitely send someone to watch it.

After all, once someone found the hidden military pay in the Hanfang Palace, it would be a big deal.

Therefore, if you pass by rashly now, without any reason, it is likely to arouse the vigilance of the people behind the scenes.

Therefore, Qin Wenyuan is not going to go now.

He was going to wait until it got dark.

Even if the people behind the scenes sent people to watch the Hanfang Palace, as long as they were in the palace, they would definitely not be free for twelve hours a day.

It's almost enough to choose a fixed time a day to come and see if anyone has entered.

It is absolutely unrealistic to want to stare at it all the time.

Not to mention that Li Shimin must have many hidden stakes and eyeliners in the palace. If someone had been staring at Hanfang Palace, Li Shimin would have been alarmed.

Therefore, under all kinds of circumstances, the Hanfang Palace can investigate, but it is best to choose after dark, when the night is quiet, and the palace is not allowed to walk around casually.

At that time, Qin Wenyuan came to investigate, and those who believed in the person behind the scenes would never know.

…………

Night falls.

Qin Wenyuan didn't delay anymore, he quickly climbed over the wall and entered the Hanfang Hall.

In the Hanfang Palace under the night, there is not a single lantern.

Fortunately, the moonlight is bright tonight, so even without lanterns, most of the places can be seen clearly.

Because Hanfang Hall has been uninhabited for a long time, it looks very cold.

The cold wind blows and rustles the treetops.

Occasionally, there is the sound of water drops falling, making a ding-dong sound.

In this quiet and empty hall, it seemed very deserted.

Qin Wenyuan just arrived here, so he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The cold palace is the cold palace.

If those concubines and members of the royal family were locked up here, one night would be enough to scare them to death.

When the time comes, I believe they will be obedient enough.

Qin Wenyuan felt that as long as he was locked up once, no one would want to be locked up a second time.

Therefore, there is very little traffic here, maybe few people will come here a year.

Therefore, it is a good place to hide things.

The Hanfang Hall is also a palace with a large area.

But fortunately, there are not many furniture decorations, and you can see the end at a glance.

There is a deeper lake outside.

Then there is a gazebo.

After the gazebo, it is the main hall.

There is only a table and a few chairs in the hall.

It can be said that it is cool and simple to the extreme.

Qin Wenyuan looked around the hall, his eyes narrowed slowly.

This Hanfang Palace is so simple, if so much military pay is really hidden, then where will those military pay... be?

Where will it be hidden?

It is easy to hide and will not be suspected.

The layout of Hanfang Hall is very simple.

Naturally, this place would not be very comfortable as a place to punish members of the royal family.

So, there isn't even a couch here.

If you come here, you will be punished.

So, how can such a simple Hanfang Palace hide so much money?
Qin Wenyuan walked into the hall.

Although the Hanfang Palace is said to be a cold palace, the architecture here is not rough, and it is systematic like other halls in the palace.

Therefore, in this hall, no walls can be added without permission.

The matter of hiding the payment in the wall will naturally not happen.

After all, every place in the main hall has been exquisitely designed, and it is obvious if there is more or less.

Therefore, there is absolutely no secret room in this hall.

Really treat everyone in the palace as blind.

Building a secret room was by no means an easy task. Even if Li Shimin had just ascended the throne at that time, his control over the palace was not so perfect, but it was not impossible for someone to spend so much time building a secret room without being aware of it.

Therefore, the salary should not be hidden in the hall.

If it is not hidden in the main hall, where else can it be hidden?
Could it be the courtyard outside the temple?

Qin Wenyuan walked out of the hall while searching.

He stood at the gate of the palace and looked towards the yard.

I saw a huge lake in the center of the yard.

The lake occupies about two-thirds of the yard.

Qin Wenyuan didn't know what the officials of the Ministry of Industry who built the Hanfang Palace thought, maybe he thought that the Hanfang Palace must be cold enough to be close to the name of the palace.

So such a big lake was built.

In addition to the lake, there is a pavilion on the edge of the lake and a small garden nearby.

Compared with the imperial garden, the garden is naturally incomparable.

But there are many flowers inside.

It can be seen that even though no one usually comes to the Hanfang Palace, it is still being taken care of by the maids and eunuchs.

Besides the garden, there are only a few trees left.

Other than that, there is nothing else.

Simple and clear, you can see the whole picture at a glance.

Qin Wenyuan looked at the simple courtyard with thoughtful eyes, and his brain was running crazily.

If it were him, he would need to hide a large amount of money here, where would he hide it.

And to hide the payment, two conditions must be met!
First, the time must be short!
At that time, Li Shimin frantically asked people to search for the whereabouts of the payment. As long as the payment was still in his hands, he was in danger of being discovered at any time.

Therefore, those salaries must be hidden in the shortest possible time.

And the second is that after hiding, people will not easily notice that there is a problem.

Although there are not many people coming to the Hanfang Palace, the maids and eunuchs will come to clean and deal with the garden at a fixed time.

After hiding the payment, the first thing to do is to prevent the maids and eunuchs from discovering abnormalities.

And the maid eunuch who is in charge of this place already knows this place very well, even with their eyes closed, they know where it is.

Therefore, it is not an easy task to hide them.

Even if they dig a hole and bury the salary, it will be difficult to hide it from them.

After all, there are a lot of salaries, and if so much salaries are buried, the same volume of soil will be produced.

No matter where the soil is placed, it is very conspicuous.

Moreover, the excavated soil has a color difference compared with other soils.

If they were seen by the maids and eunuchs, they would definitely guess that someone moved the soil of the Hanfang Palace.

Therefore, this danger must be avoided absolutely.

So... what else can I do?
Qin Wenyuan substituted himself as the person behind the scenes.

From the perspective of the person behind the scenes, think about what should be done.

And at this moment... His gaze suddenly froze on one spot!
I saw his eyes looking forward - the lake that occupied two-thirds of the entire yard!
A lake that is said to be quite deep!
"Could it be..."

Qin Wenyuan walked quickly to the front of the lake.

He looked into the lake, and saw that some dirty things like dry fallen leaves were falling on the surface of the lake.

These things blocked some sight.

But you can still see the bottom of the lake.

The lake water is still clean.

Keren's eyesight is limited.

Standing on the shore, you can see the bottom of the lake two or three meters away at the farthest, and because the lake is very deep, you can't see the bottom of the lake.

Not to mention, seeing below the center of the lake.

You know, Qin Wenyuan's eyesight has been blessed by the system.

It has surpassed ordinary people.

But even he couldn't see the bottom of the lake in the center of the lake, let alone other people!
Moreover, the lake is very big, even if military pay is thrown into it, the water level will only rise a bit.

But the water level is rising, as long as it rains in those days, it will not attract many people's attention.

After all, those court ladies and eunuchs should not have the ability to judge how much the lake has swelled by relying on the amount of rainfall!
Moreover, the lake water is not mud, and there will be no color difference!

So...if Qin Wenyuan chooses.

Qin Wenyuan would definitely choose this lake!
This is simply the most suitable place to hide so much money in the shortest time!

So……

Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes, is it really here?
Pay silver, hidden in the lake?

Qin Wenyuan stood on the shore, looking at the lake in front of him.

The moonlight is shining, and the lake is clear and bright.

However, standing here, you can't see the bottom of the lake in the middle of the lake.

He pondered for a moment, and finally sighed.

"Looks like it won't work if you don't go into the water."

"I hope I can gain something this time, otherwise I will lose money."

"Chang'an City in March is really not that warm."

In order to determine the clues, Qin Wenyuan had to go into the water himself.

He quickly took off his clothes, feeling the cold wind, could not help shivering.

He felt that he was really too dedicated.

If he really solved the case ten years ago, he must ask Li Shimin to reward him.

Without further delay, Qin Wenyuan quickly jumped into the lake.

He quickly swam to the bottom of the lake.

I saw that the lake in this cold palace is really deep.

I don't know what the designers thought at the beginning, why is an ornamental lake so deep.
