A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 441: Dog Ridge Golden Treasure

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly?
In Chang'an, the dignified capital, Fa Ya not only can freely enter and exit the Taiji Palace, but also has two thousand monks and soldiers.

Huaiyu presented Zhishi's report letter to the emperor.

Li Shimin immediately ordered Wu Huaiyu to investigate the matter thoroughly.

"Zhishi has not violated the precepts since he returned to the secular world. He has been admonished for Fa Ya in the scriptures. Now that he is illegal again, it is advisable to continue to become a monk."

Although no monks like Dharma are granted, it is also a supreme grace to be granted a license to become a monk again.

In the early Tang Dynasty, monks and nuns in Chang’an Temple were also under management. The Sui Dynasty awarded the title of Ten Virtues to eminent monks who translated scriptures, and also added the responsibility of managing monks and temples, becoming de facto monk officials.

However, the result of monks managing monks is also obvious.

"Take back the talisman that Faya forbids entry and exit from the palace,"

Li Shimin was not in a hurry to deal with Fa Ya, but just prevented him from entering and exiting the Tai Chi Palace, and prevented him from seeing the Supreme Emperor again.

The guards of the Taiji Palace are all the emperor's confidantes, such as Zhou Shaofan, Hou Junji, Xu Luoren and Zhang Shigui, will never let him have a chance to enter the palace with the imperial decree.

"Find Pei Xuanzhi first."

Li Shimin was also surprised when he heard that Pei Xuanzhi had stolen tens of thousands of taels of gold from Endless Treasure, and was even a little jealous.

He didn't say what to do with the gold after finding Pei Xuanzhi, but Wu Huaiyu didn't understand.

As long as people and gold are in the hands of the imperial court, Huadu Temple still wants to take them back?
After the whole case is clarified, not to mention the gold, even the huge amount of wealth in the Endless Collection of Huadu Temple will fall into the hands of the imperial court, as will the other three-tiered temples.

The pigs have been fattened up, and the Chinese New Year is coming, so the pigs are not allowed to be slaughtered.

As for what name to use and how to operate, those are all details.

"I'll leave this matter to you, I'm relieved, but I still want to remind you, be careful and don't act too hastily."

Even if the emperor is the Ninth Five Supreme, he is naturally fearless in the face of a bald donkey emperor, but when facing the entire bald donkey group, he still has to be more careful.

These people are cancerous tumors attached to Datang, but to get rid of him, one has to be careful not to hurt oneself.

"If the Yongzhou Yamen needs intelligence support, you can go to Zhang Liang, or you can go directly to An Yuanshou and the others. Anyway, you are familiar with them."

Although Wu Huaiyu is no longer a member of the Six Doors, he is still the emperor's Bai Ze.

In March, the grass grows and the warblers fly.

Wu Huaiyu took the time to meet Yuan Guogong Shi Wanbao and Shi Daxia at the Foresta Restaurant in West City. They drank together, listened to music and watched dances, and then went to have a warm soup together.

Once Shi Daxia took off his clothes, he was really covered in tattoos.

The guy also deliberately showed him the newly tattooed words on his two arms.

"Duke Yi, come and see my new tattoo,"

You are now a dignified prince, even though you only hold the title of a general and sit on the bench in Beijing, but at least your grades are here. When you were in Chang'an, it was fine to have tattoos all over your body. Now you are at your age, you still have to learn He is a young man in Jiafang.

After he saw clearly the words tattooed on the two arms, he couldn't help but smiled helplessly.

"I am not afraid of Jing Zhaoyin in life, and I am not afraid of King Yama in death."

Years later, Huaiyu has been cooperating with various yamen to carry out law enforcement actions, crack down on them severely, and those ghosts and snakes, rogues, and all kinds of knights and villains fled the capital one after another.

There are also people who are not afraid of King Yama when they die, but they are afraid of Wu Jingzhao for their only life.

Unexpectedly, Shi Wanbao was also so popular.

However, the tattoos on his two arms are even more arrogant. Of course, he also has the capital of arrogance.

With this size alone, Wu Huaiyu is no match for him.

Of course, although Wu Huaiyu knew that he had a good relationship with Ma Sanbao, Chai Shao, and Li Shentong, he had no grievances with him.

There is no chivalry in this guy, but there is a gangster air, not a ruffian air, but a gangster air.

Quite a bit of personality.

Even if he is sitting on the bench now, he is quite free and easy, and it is quite natural to face Wu Huaiyu, a red and purple celebrity.

"Call some girls here. The two men are here naked. I'm so embarrassed." Shi Wanbao looked at Wu Huaiyu and even licked his lower lip.

"Duke Yuan is not interested in men, is he?"

"Well, I take both men and women."

Lying trough,

Wu Huaiyu got up quickly, went to the other side of the pond, and called for someone.

Fortunately, I didn't pick up the soap just now.

"Hahaha," Shi Wanbao laughed. It is true that he eats both men and women, but he did not dare to think about Wu Huaiyu. He called the waiter and asked him to immediately arrange eight beauties to come in to serve him.

There are eight beauties, both Hu and Han.

"My servant girl in Tangchi is no worse than that of your wine shop, right?"

This warm soup room belongs to Shi Wanbao.

The mist rises.

Eight more beauties dressed in cool clothes went into the water with them, which saved a lot of embarrassment.

After soaking and rubbing, when I finally walked out of the soup room, I was really refreshed.

"Duke Yi is also looking for Pei Xuanzhi? There are quite a lot of people looking for him recently."

"Xin Guogong said that as long as Shi Gong makes a move, he can find someone."

"It's true. It's not hard to find him. I just heard that he stole a large sum of gold. How will the gold be divided?"

Shi Wanbao was straightforward.

Huaiyu smiled, "May I ask for you?"

Shi Wanbao understood in seconds.

"I thought it was Huadu Temple who reported the crime at the Yamen of Yongzhou, and you guys are helping to find someone." Shi Daxia stroked his beard, "If that's the case, then pretend I didn't say anything."

"By the way, I heard that Yi Guogong has attracted many nobles from Chang'an to go to Shaozhou to open mines. It happens that I have nothing to do. Why don't you count me in? It doesn't matter if you want to contribute money or people."

Faced with Shi Daxia's overtures, Wu Huaiyu did not refuse.

Anyway, Shaozhou Mining has a big plate, so if more people join, there is no need to worry about not having enough cake, just make the cake bigger.

He didn't care whether Shi Wanbao had a good relationship with Chai Shao or not, none of those relatives had an intertwined relationship, and he and Chai Shao were both close relatives now.

It's easy to find the right people.

Fa Ya mobilized two thousand monks to search for Pei Xuanzhi everywhere but to no avail. He was useless. Although there were many monks and soldiers, they could take care of the house and guard the courtyard, but they were not good at finding people.

As soon as Shi Daxia made a move, there were thousands of them per one.

Shi Wanbao came to Huaiyu the next day.

"When the man is found, so is the gold,"

Huaiyu put down what he was doing and followed him.

Pei Xuanzhi knew how to hide. He quietly transported the gold from Huadu Temple in the west of the city to Dongshi.

In Dongshi, there is an earth ridge protruding in the shape of a curved dog ridge, hence the name Dog Ridge. It is about one mile long and half a mile wide. It extends from east to southwest and ends at the moat of Guocheng City in Dongguan. It belongs to Longshou Mountain. part of

This is a fierce place, because it is the execution ground for the execution of prisoners in public.

There are two execution grounds in Chang'an, both in the market, one is Gouji Ridge in East City, and the other is Duliushu in West City.

For the condemned prisoners who demanded to be executed in public, they were all executed in one of these two places.

It is said that because of the large number of people killed, the goji berries on Gouji Ridge are extraordinarily bright red and the leaves are very dense.

Because it is a fierce place, most people have to walk around here. Even if this place is in Dongshi, almost no one passes by it.

Pei Xuanzhi actually dug out an underground secret room here without anyone noticing, and then he took advantage of the convenience of guarding the endless stash to secretly transport the gold out.

In fact, this guy didn't run away after stealing the gold once, but did it secretly for a while, and then disappeared suddenly.

When Wu Huaiyu rushed to the depths of the woods in Gouji Ridge, led by Shi Wanbao, he found the secret entrance and entered the underground cave. Multiple rooms, fully functional.

When he saw the gold, he was also shocked.

Not 1 taels, but a full 3 taels.

Pei Xuanzhi was tied up in front of Huaiyu by Wuhuada, and he truthfully confessed his crimes, how he became greedy, and how he brought the gold here.

He didn't spend one or two of these golds.

Twelve pieces of pig waist-shaped gold collars cost a full 3000 yuan.

Calculated by one tael of gold or eight guan coins, there are 24 guan coins of gold here.

After decades of accumulation in Huadu Temple, they are constantly exchanged for gold, and then melted and cast into these twelve-piece gold collars, all of which have the stamp of Huadu Temple on them, and then stored in the underground secret room of Endless Tibetan Courtyard.

Who knows, in the end it was stolen by the floor sweeping monk Pei Xuanzhi. Because of the secret it was originally hidden, he didn't check it every day, which gave Pei Xuanzhi a chance.

It is indeed very capable to steal so much gold.

According to Pei Xuanzhi, there are still a lot of light goods such as copper coins, silk, silver and spices in Wuwuzang, but he only stole gold.

It's a pity that I stole it and didn't spend any money. I guarded the gold in this underground cave with fear, but it was finally found.

More than ten years of practice can't resist the temptation of gold.

Shi Wanbao did not dare to covet the gold.

Although this guy is a gangster, he is still relatively smart. If the Yongzhou Yamen helped Huadu Temple to find someone to find money, he might swallow the money or part of it if he found it first, such as killing Pei Xuanzhi. Yes, at that time, it was said that only part of it was found, and there was no evidence to prove it.

But Wu Huaiyu was acting according to the order, so he didn't dare to mess around.

Pei Xuanzhi was fascinated by gold.

It's not worth the money if the gold is black but has no life.

But looking at the gold, to be honest, it's really hard not to be tempted.

It is worth 24 guan. How many people have actually seen so much gold, let alone own it.

It's a pity that Wu Huaiyu just checked it once, and then didn't look at it any more, and it's not interesting to look at it if it's not his own. Besides, although 3 taels of gold is a lot, Wu Huaiyu is now sentenced to pay, and the state finance is also in charge. Numbers are bigger than one, moving into millions.

The new coinage method can start to mint 50 guan coins a year, with [-]% minting profit, and [-] guan.

"Pei Xuanzhi, do you want to live?"

Huaiyu looked at the sweeping monk with a gray face.

Pei Xuanzhi, who thought he was going to die, had a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"What do you want me to do?"

"You should have been in charge of the Endless Tibetan Courtyard of Huadu Temple for a long time. I heard that the Endless Tibetan Courtyard never makes a written agreement when it lends money, and I am not afraid that someone will not repay the loan. But I believe that the Endless Tibetan Courtyard must have a loan to collect interest. Account book, I want that account book."
