Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 383
Chapter 386

In the study on the second floor of Chenliucheng Fushou Hall, Zhang Muzhi checked the incisions and tokens repeatedly.

Walking to the left of the bookcase, there is a bronze crane candlestick on the left wall. Zhang Muzhi turned the candlestick to the right three times. At this moment, there was a clicking sound. After a while, the bookcase split open from the middle, revealing the dark room.

"Miss Qing, please!" Zhang Muzhi held a lantern and led Qing'er into the dark room.

The darkroom does not extend into the wall, but directly downwards.

Chenliu City is next to the Yellow River, and the Yellow River is a well-known aboveground river, so the groundwater level in Chenliu is very shallow, and it is usually dug down for more than three meters to ensure water.

In Chenliu County, few people build underground secret rooms, because waterproof and moisture-proof is a big problem.

To Miss Qing'er's surprise, it took a stick of incense to go down this secret room obliquely, as if she still hadn't gotten close.With the help of the weak light, Qing'er could clearly see the walls of the dark room, all of them were bluestone strips, and the gaps between the bluestones were all filled with glutinous rice soup and clay.This is the waterproof treatment method adopted in the general construction of tombs.

Qing'er thought that there are no big mountains near Chenliu, and there is no place where bluestone can be mined. Obviously, these bluestones were transported from other places.

The financial resources to build such a dark room are probably not lower than building a small castle.

Finally, the secret path came to an end.

Qing'er secretly calculated that this place is probably at least a hundred feet away from the ground.There is more than one stone door in the dark room, at least nine stone doors of the same size and style.

Zhang Muzhi didn't avoid Qing'er, and walked directly to the third stone door in the dark room, grabbed the copper ring on the door and turned it 360 degrees, then turned to the second door on the left, and turned the copper ring in the opposite direction rotate.Finally, Zhang Muzhi came to the door in the middle of the nine gates. Zhang Muzhi handed the lantern in his hand to Qing'er, then grabbed the copper ring on it with both hands at the same time, and pushed it hard.The copper ring sank into the door, and with a sound that made the teeth sour, the stone door slowly rose upwards.

Zhang Muzhi looked at Qing'er stunned, and explained: "The Lord sent someone to build this place 20 years ago. Unless it is opened in the correct way, the mechanism inside will be touched. Although there are no poisonous arrows here, it can The river that connects to the underground river will flood this place in an instant!"

Zhang Muzhi lit the torches on the wall one after another with a torch, lighting up the stone chamber.

Qing'er followed Zhang Muzhi into the stone room, and immediately realized that the area was not small. The dark room was about twenty feet long and a dozen feet wide. There were countless large black solid wood boxes densely packed in the dark room.

Zhang Muzhi came to one of the boxes, and opened it violently.

Qing'er was caught off guard and was almost dazzled.Even though she was mentally tough, she lost her composure at this moment.

"Here?" Qing'er couldn't believe it, and stammered: "This is all gold?"

Zhang Muzhi said indifferently: "Not all of them. There are only 4000 taels of gold here, 1000 taels of silver, and not many copper coins, only about 40 taels!"

4000 taels of gold is equivalent to 4000 taels of silver, and 1000 taels of silver and copper coins are quite impressive.

Qing'er could almost feel her heart beating faster.

There was still no expression on Zhang Muzhi's face, but suddenly the expression on his face became serious, he sniffed vigorously with his nose, and took three steps at a time, and came to Qing'er.

Disregarding his image, he sniffed in front of Qing'er.

Qing'er's face turned red, and she felt embarrassed, "What do you want!"

"You've been targeted by others!" Zhang Muzhi raised his brows and said, "You have a smell of mud on your body. This smell is very light, and usually it won't be noticed by others. At first, I thought it was because you traveled a long distance. , I didn't pay too much attention to the dusty atmosphere it was contaminated with."

What Zhang Muzhi said was right, when Ran Min's "deaf and dumb" was monitoring the target, he didn't look at the appearance.Because it doesn't matter whether it's the disguise technique or changing the appearance, for intelligence personnel, this is the most common thing.

A person's appearance can be deceiving, but a person's smell is not.

However, the human nose is not like a dog, and the sense of smell is far from being able to distinguish too many similar smells.

But later, after countless attempts, the "deaf and dumb" gradually discovered that even if the smell of the human body is weak, drugs can be used to make up for this defect.

Like the earthy smell on Qing'er, this smell is very light and not easy to be noticed.When Xie Ai and his party entered the territory of Wei State, the deaf and dumb in secret used their professional identities to secretly set up a scent code.This is like a tracker for later generations, and the "deaf and dumb" secretly raised a lot of white mice who are good at tracking smells.

After training, for white mice who are accustomed to smelling special medicinal smells, if they lose their habitual smell, they will feel uneasy.Although this simple way of conveying information may make mistakes, it leaves the "deaf and dumb" surveillance target with nowhere to hide.

Although this kind of scent tracking is secretive, in front of Zhang Muzhi, who made his fortune by relying on traditional Chinese medicine, it is a bit tricky.

Qing'er was very nervous and asked: "What should we do now?"

"Don't be nervous, I have a way to deal with them!" Zhang Muzhi said: "Although this kind of scent tracking is secret, once you find it, you can deal with it very easily. Wait for a while, and Miss Qing'er will take a hot bath to let the scent on her body It will slowly disappear, and without the source of the smell, they will lose their target!"

Only then did Qing'er's nervousness calm down.

Zhang Muzhi said again: "Miss Qing'er, my lord activated Qingyan this time, I'm afraid the "deaf and dumb" have already known about it, this secret stake should not be used."

"No, don't bother!" Qing'er said: "The Lord's order this time is for this money. The Lord wants to make a deal with Wei Guo and secretly buy a batch of their weapons. In addition, let Mr. Zhang return to the country to master Qingyan! "

Zhang Munei felt extremely miserable. In recent years, in order to protect this wealth, he and various forces made false claims in order to swallow this wealth, but this time he miscalculated.

Xie Ai's real purpose is not only to take back his blue eyes, but also to use Wei Guo's hand to destroy his own foundation.

Zhang Muzhi is considered a powerful party in Chenliu County, no matter whether the government or the soldier gentry, he should give him some face, but once he leaves.He is nothing!

That's right, Zhang Muzhi had selfish motives, after all, everyone can change.

The confidantes that Zhang Jun placed by his side were all slowly eliminated by Zhang Muzhi calmly.Now Qingyan has become Zhang Muzhi's own personal wealth, from top to bottom, he is his confidant.

In a short period of time, Zhang Muzhi turned his head sharply, and finally thought of a way: "Do everything according to the Lord's will."

Speaking of which, Zhang Muzhi walked to an inconspicuous corner of the stone room, and took out a small box. The small box looked very thick, and it should be very strong. "Here is the list of strongholds and responsible persons of Qingyan's counties and counties, as well as their contact information. Please take charge of Qingyan directly. Now, Miss Qing, please go to take a bath first. Someone will arrange to draw the eyeliner away!"

In the Dezheng Hall of the Imperial Palace of the State of Wei, Ran Mingao sat on the main seat, and below him were the important court officials headed by Liu Qun.

Ran Min said: "I have something important to call all the ministers and workers to meet with you. You must have heard that the Huaxia Business Alliance is loyal to the emperor and the country, and said that it has surrendered more than 30 craftsmen from the Jin Kingdom, and nearly [-] people have defected to our university. Wei."

The courtiers present are naturally not stupid. Although they despise merchants and treat artisans lightly, they also understand that without artisans, their basic necessities of life will be greatly affected.

He didn't say anything, just the paper he used frequently, the tea he drank, the immortal drunk mellow liquor, sugar, and a lot of cheap and high-quality clothes.Of course, a series of imitation Song and Ming style furniture is indispensable.

The servant of the Ministry of Rites, Dong Jia, flattered Ran Min, citing scriptures, and praising virtues. After this flattering, he almost described Ran Min as the most wise sage in the world since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, which made the world peaceful and smooth. , the people were rich, and Jin people envied the wealth of Wei people, so they naturally rushed to follow suit.

After this flattery, even Ran Min felt a little embarrassed.

Doctor Yushi was very picky, but Ran Min really let them pick and choose. He only ate four dishes for each meal, two meat and two vegetables, and never wasted.Dress as simple as possible.The changes in Wei State in recent years are also obvious to all.But the emperor is right, doesn't it prove that they have nothing to do?So they picked and picked and picked and went to the harem.

It is said that the lack of ran minzi ketones is not good for the country, so the emperor should breed blood to consolidate the country.

As a result, Ran Min criticized them harshly, and these censors became more stable.

But unlike some officials who were ready to flatter Ran Min, Liu Qun, Xie An, Cui Yue and others secretly speculated about Ran Min's intentions.

The singing of meritorious deeds lasted for half an hour. They didn't understand until they saw Ran Min's serious expression, neither happy nor angry.The emperor asked them to do things, not to flatter them.

As the head of all the officials, Liu Qun naturally saw Ran Min's intentions, and he signaled the ministers to stop talking.He said cautiously: "If your Majesty has anything important, please tell your servants!"

Ran Min nodded, and smiled knowingly: "Since I held up the banner of righteousness, all officials have worked hard, and the soldiers have used their lives. Countless soldiers have gone forward one after another, and this is how to conquer the world of Wei. I will never treat heroes badly. If you have done something wrong, you will be punished, and you will be rewarded. Rewards. Rewards and punishments are clearly defined, so that all the ministers can be diligent in the king's affairs and serve you willingly! Therefore, I plan to reward the heroes of the Great Wei this time, what do you think?"

"If the rewards and punishments are not clear, the hearts of the heroes will be chilled, they will take the evil, and they will always go beyond the law and give up. Those who are not big enough will not be clear about the country's governance." Liu Qun said: "The right way to govern the country is to clearly distinguish the rewards and punishments!"

Cui Yue said: "The minister seconded the proposal!"

"Seconded!"

Facing the voices of second opinion, Ran Min said: "I have planned that this time, the heroes from Jin and craftsmen will surrender to our Great Wei. There are many low-status merchants, craftsmen, and humble scholars who contribute. Although they are loyal to the country and have excellent morals, However, the strength is not enough to fill the six ministries or counties and counties as officials."
