Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 168 Weird Saddle!Weird charcoal!

Changsun Wuji and the others also turned their heads away immediately.

The housekeeper of Chu Palace must know the inside story.

They look forward to it.

But unfortunately, the old man took a deep breath, looked back from the pit in front, and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, the old man is just a housekeeper, but he also said that he is only in charge of the Chu Palace. This thing, the old man... has never seen such a terrifying thing."

"If this old man really knew, he wouldn't dare to hide it from His Majesty, your empress, and your lord, but this old man... really doesn't know."

The old man shook his head.

In the words, there is also incomparable surprise.

Indeed, he seemed to have never seen this thing before.

only…….
He heard some noises when His Highness was about to leave, but he didn't pay attention at all.

But these, the old man didn't want to talk to Li Shimin.

To be honest, even if the old man has never seen this mysterious little iron stone, it is definitely a core secret of His Highness.

The only ones who can know are Shen Lian and Yu Huatian who specialize in external expansion, right?

Those in the Lord are not yet qualified to know.

The division of labor is clear.

Li Shimin took a deep look at the old man.

He knew that the old man was not lying, and the old gentleman didn't bother to tell lies.

He really didn't know.

Li Shimin nodded.

He looked at the big pit in front of him, raised his head, and looked at the yard in front of him.

"Let's go and have a look!"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

He was a little excited, but also a little nervous, and he was a little overwhelmed with his hands.

this thing...
If there are really any more in this yard, then...

Gudong.......
Li Shimin swallowed hard.

He couldn't imagine what earth-shaking changes would be brought to Datang.

Datang will surely become the most powerful country in the future, and the shame of Weishui three years ago will also be wiped away by himself! !

Everything becomes simple!
Everything becomes smoother!
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin and the others hurriedly followed, all of them becoming serious.

This pit is still there.

It was like a fist hitting them hard.

Little Si followed Li Shimin up and down.

Empress Changsun looked at Xiao Sizi and felt the same in her heart, really, she didn't know what to say.

I don't know if this girl and Kuan'er are destined to meet each other. How much of Kuan'er's private money is due to this little girl meeting by chance?

This time the little iron stone.

And the sweet potato last time, almost all of them have something to do with her.

Empress Changsun shook her head.

I'm afraid that when Kuan'er comes back, the little girl's face will not be protected, and I am afraid that Kuan'er will have to pinch her face and kill her.

Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and the others are also completely convinced of Xiao Sizi.

If they were, they would definitely not be able to find that thing.

Even if the thing was right under their feet, they would all regard it as a stone and kick it aside.

However, if you think about it suddenly exploded when you mention it...
After all, it was Xiao Si who saved their lives.

In silence, everyone followed Li Shimin to the courtyard.

The courtyard wall of this courtyard is higher than all the buildings in the other courtyard of the King of Chu.

This may be to prevent peeping from outside the wall.

The door is closed tightly.

"Sir, do you have a key?"

Li Shimin looked at the old man.

The old man shook his head and said, "Where is the key to this yard?"

Say it.

The old man seemed to have thought of something, looked at Li Shimin, and continued: "By the way, Your Majesty, Linque is one of His Highness's personal maids."

Cardinals? !
Both Li Shimin and Empress Changsun narrowed their eyes slightly.

Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng were also a little surprised.

It was the first time they had heard such a name.

Somewhat strange.

But it doesn't mean anything, it sounds very comfortable.

Finally, I also know the names of the people around His Royal Highness Chu. Oh, before, many of them didn't know.

Except that they knew the name of the King of Chu, it seemed that... even the young man in the Prince Chu's mansion didn't know the name.

They didn't ask either.

"That's it."

"Red Sparrow....good name."

"If that's the case, then forget it."

Li Shimin clapped his hands.

The old man was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Li Shimin to be so easy to talk, so why not enter? ?

It's not like His Majesty either...
The old man muttered in his heart.

But then, Li Shimin glanced at Li Junxian, and continued: "Split."

Hearing this, the old man was not surprised at all, but felt more at ease in his heart.

This is the nature of your bandit, Your Majesty.

He really didn't believe that Li Shimin would not go in.

How can it be!

With such power, if Li Shimin and these veterans don't understand it, will they let it go?
The old man stepped back silently.

There is nothing more to say.

He knew that it would be useless to stop him at this time.

This is your son's home, you can do whatever you want.

Anyway, His Highness also said that here Li Shimin and Empress Changsun don't have to worry about where they want to go, just let them go.

Li Junxian drew the knife directly.

The embroidered spring knife fell.

The door lock snapped off.

Li Shimin pushed his hands away and walked in.

The yard is not big.

Just enter the hospital.

There are two wing rooms in the east and west, with a lobby in the middle.

It looks very simple.

but…….
The layout of this yard is quite different from other yards.

The scarecrows stood in a row along the courtyard wall.

Each scarecrow is also hung with a circle handle.

A corner, and a small fort surrounded by sandbags, the ground inside has been blown out of shape.

On the other side were piles of discarded saddles and stools.

The other piece seemed to be piled with a pile of discarded coal, but this coal was not the same as their common coal.

In short, it is just one word, chaos! !
It seems that this yard has never been tidied up.

"This courtyard..."

"It seems to be Kuan'er's proving ground, we... we just found Baoshan?"

Li Shimin pursed his lips, looked around, and couldn't help but said in shock.

Baoshan? !
Everyone took a breath.

seem…….
There is nothing wrong with saying that.

Look at the courtyard, then look at the closed east and west rooms, and the door of the lobby.

In this yard, they were designated not to let them go away empty-handed, and there must be other private money that they haven't seen.

"This place should be a secret place where His Royal Highness the King of Chu usually tinkers with novelties. Gudong...these seem to be something extraordinary."

Wei Zheng scanned around and spoke with difficulty.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the treasures in this yard are enough for us to drink a pot. It seems that this coal has never been seen like this before."

Changsun Wuji stared at the pile of coal and said.

"In this room, I don't know what kind of private money the King of Chu is hiding. Your Majesty, why don't you open the door first?"

Du Ruhui rubbed his hands, his voice was distorted due to excitement.

excitement!
excited!

Can't hold on to myself! !
This feeling is really cool, what is a wave of fat?

They also finally realized what it was like to be a bandit.

Damn!

So cool! !

My heart was pounding hard.

Who would have thought that he would have found His Royal Highness Chu's private money base!
The old man looked at the group of emperors and princes in the court hall, and watched them all excited and greedy, which was no better than those bandits.

Sighing, he shook his head silently.

I said in my heart that it was really a wise move for His Highness to leave Chang'an.

Look at their appearance, is Chang'an a place where people can stay? !
If His Highness is still in the yard now, I'm afraid it will annoy His Highness to death.

Empress Changsun seemed to be a little embarrassed after seeing through the sigh of the old man.

"Mr., it's good to report all these things to the King of Chu."

"It's not your dereliction of duty, it's His Majesty and the ministers, um... I believe the King of Chu will not make things difficult for you."

Empress Changsun also didn't know what to say, she murmured and comforted her.

The old man smiled.

"Where is the empress talking, this place, since His Highness said, your majesty and empress can do whatever they want, so I don't have anything to say, please feel free."

said the old man.

Empress Changsun nodded.

The little si had already happily ran to the scarecrow to play, and Princess Changle was taking care of it.

Li Shimin led a group of people directly to the pile of abandoned saddles.

Compared with those coals, the saddle and stool are more attractive to him.

The fact that these saddles can be piled up in this yard already shows something.

After all, if it's an ordinary saddle, where is it eligible to be placed in the Chu King's Courtyard? !
Not to mention, it can be piled up in this yard where no one is allowed to enter.

A group of people surrounded.

All the eyes are carefully scrutinized.

Li Shimin frowned.

These saddles seem to be really abandoned, because they are a bit different from the saddles in his impression, and they are also somewhat different from the saddles that Datang is using now.

It should be a defective product.

Li Shimin thought to himself.

"this……."

However, Li Jing rolled up his sleeves, bent down and picked up a saddle directly.

This saddle is much heavier than Datang's saddle.

Moreover, it is much more complicated.

"I have never owned this saddle in Tang Dynasty. We haven't seen it before."

Li Jing stretched out his arms, showing the saddle.

Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and the other three generals shook their heads after deep thought.

They are military generals, and it can be said that they deal with saddles every day.

It's just saddles worn out under the crotch, I don't know how many there are.

They are all too familiar.

But this... is different, really different.

A saddle is a saddle, but this saddle seems a bit shabby.

"I've never seen it before. This saddle seems to be abandoned. It looks much heavier than my Tang's saddle. Such a saddle will definitely not be comfortable on a horse."

"And it will also increase the power of the horse, resulting in a decrease in explosive power and speed."

Changsun Wuji said thoughtfully.

"Well, that's right."

"The most important thing for a war horse is to reduce the weight, which can also reduce the wear and tear of the purchase."

Du Ruhui agreed.

"It seems that His Highness the King of Chu finally made a mistake, hahaha... Looking at it this way, His Highness the King of Chu is not a god, he is proficient in everything."

Wei Zheng also smiled.

This saddle is indeed too complicated and too bulky.

Datang's saddle can be placed directly on the horse's back, but this one is much higher than Datang's saddle, and it doesn't seem to be stable yet.

"Well, that's true."

Li Shimin also nodded in agreement.

Li Jing casually dropped the saddle on the ground.

Since it is a waste product, there is no need to read it again.

It's quite heavy, and it's not easy to hold it.

present.

Everyone was no longer interested in the saddle, and turned to look at the coal pile on the other side.

It's just that this medium seems to be a bit poor.

"Your Majesty, it's all coal." Cheng Yaojin said in a deep voice.

"Carbon?!"

Li Shimin was slightly startled, he walked in and took a closer look, and sure enough, it was really coal.

Datang's coal is also of various grades.

The best is naturally charcoal.

The worst thing is this charcoal.

Difficult to burn not to mention, the smoke is still big.

However, this kind of charcoal was the most used by the common people in the Tang Dynasty.

Not for anything else, just because it's cheap.

This is carbon much simpler than charcoal.

One catty of charcoal can be exchanged for ten catties of coal. This price gap already explains everything.

It's just that they never expected that the king of Chu would use coal.

No matter how you say it, King Chu is the prince of Datang, so he is so frugal.

But, it's not right either.

The king of Chu is rich.

Richer than the imperial court.

A truly rich and adversary country.

And no matter how you look at it, King Chu is not the kind of person who is willing to wrong himself.

This...how did you use charcoal?

I don't understand.

I don't understand.

"Your Majesty, no, this charcoal... seems different."

At this time, Changsun Wuji suddenly stood on the other side of the charcoal pile and shouted loudly.

no the same? !

Changsun Wuji's shout immediately aroused Li Shimin's curiosity.

Li Shimin hurried over.

Rows of charcoal.

No.

This shape is no longer the shape of coal, but a cylinder, and there are several holes in the center of this cylinder of coal.

densely packed.

At first glance, it looks like a honeycomb.

"What is this for? This charcoal... just changed its shape?!"

Li Shimin rubbed his nose and said.

"However, why did His Royal Highness King Chu make charcoal into this shape?"

"This must also be considered by His Royal Highness King Chu, how about... let's order one and have a try?"

Changsun Wuji said tentatively.

They had never seen such a shape.

too weird.

This is not only because they have never used charcoal, but because the entire Tang Dynasty does not have such a shape.

Those common people, even if they use charcoal to enjoy the fire in winter, they are surrounded by pieces.

"Alright."

Li Shimin nodded.

What is the use of this charcoal, and what is the function of this shape? I believe that you only need to light it and burn it to know.

Immediately, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong brought a pile of dried leaves.

This is to start the fire.

Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde simply used this honeycomb-shaped charcoal to take a stove.

Put the leaves underneath.

Fire, burn up.

But it seems that there is no picture of the charcoal burning wildly as they imagined.

smoke.

It's all smoke.

The thick smoke seemed to fill the entire courtyard.

"It seems that this is also a failed item designed by His Highness King Chu." Wei Zheng said softly beside him.
