Zhang Fuling's words made Hu Zongmao stunned for a moment.

Yes, the monarchs of the Wei Kingdom in the previous dynasty were either extremely debauchery or seeking immortals and asking for the truth. Even worse, they had not been in the dynasty for more than ten years and were in power. Otherwise, something like the Jinwu Sect would not have existed in the world.

The founding of the Daliang Kingdom for more than a hundred years, all the kings of all dynasties worked diligently. Not to mention that the current emperors are like this, helping the victims, defending the country, and preventing the Tatars from going south to invade the people.

Even when King Mu rebelled, he killed the Mu clan after the troops suppressed him, and did not implicate the military and civilians in southern Sichuan. His ruthlessness was only to treat officials and relatives, and it was understandable that this was to stabilize the regime.

If this matter was placed in the previous dynasty, let alone the soldiers of the Prince Mu's mansion, even the local people in southern Sichuan would not be spared, and it is not uncommon to massacre the city.

Just like Zhang Fuling asked himself, is the world of Daliang stronger than the Wei Kingdom of the previous dynasty?

The answer is yes. Daliang is stronger than Wei State. In order to solve the problem of food and clothing, we have begun to plant gold potatoes and corn. Not to mention how much these yields have been increased, we can actually plant them in the capital for two seasons. What does this mean?

This is an important step to improve national strength. With abundant food, the people will naturally not cause trouble. They can have more surplus to build other constructions, such as water conservancy, farming machinery, and more importantly, military strength improvement.

And the more this happens, the more hopeless the Wei Kingdom is to restore the country. Thinking of this, Hu Zongmao raised his head and drank it. As he raised his head, a drop of old tears flowed down his cheeks. When he put down the wine bowl, he raised his sleeve and wiped it.

"Today I can drink a bowl of wine with Lord Zhang, this is enough for this life. Whether it is Wei or Daliang, this is not something I should worry about."

After a pause, Hu Zongmao looked at Zhang Fuling and continued.

"Daliang is indeed better than Wei State. Kings of all dynasties have worked diligently and loved the people. Even if there are some methods, they are the art of emperors. I have no objection to this.

But my Hu family is a slave of the Chu family. I can live for generations and have everything I have today, and now it is just the time to return it."

Zhang Fuling didn't say anything, lowered his eyes slightly. Hu Zongmao's words were true. He could understand that if this person was not an upright person, he would not have such a reputation in the court anymore. However, how to choose, this is not something that Zhang Fuling can control.

Zhang Fuling stood up and opened the window of the room, and the scene outside the window came into view.

This is the second floor of Women's Medical College, which is the highest position in Beishan. You can see the full view outside by leaning over.

"Civil Secretary Hu, please stand here and see. Although this Beishan is the property of Zhou Boye and the prince, the workshop below is made of military supplies. Even the medical school under our feet is built to train military doctors.

The alcohol workshop that exploded yesterday was not ordinary winemaking, or for medical disinfection. It was made for the fuel for my Daliang Feiqiu Navigation. I think you must have never seen Feiqiu?

The flying ball is to use the combustion of alcohol blowtorches to carry people and things to fly. Have you ever seen any country or who have made such things? It takes only a few hours to arrive from Beijing to Datong.

During this time in Datong, King Ning was trapped. Zhou Boye led the imperial guards to rescue with his flying team and a team of troops from Huichuntang. Such a big natural disaster, only dozens of people died from the earthquake disaster. It was because of the timely rescue and the wonderful use of this flying ball."

Hu Zongmao stood up swayingly. Although there were whips on his body, it did not hinder his movements.

What Zhang Fuling said shocked him. After all, his official position is low and he cannot know more major events. However, since this statement is what Zhang Fuling said, it must be true.

I stood by the window carrying the chains and looked at the various workshops in Beishan. The burned alcohol workshop was so dazzling and obvious, and it was indeed impossible to avoid it. However, at this time, someone was demolishing the burned roof and seemed to be undergoing repairs.

He closed his eyes, and the guilt made him feel ashamed. Although he did something he did not regret for his ancestors' promise, his condemnation could not be escaped.

He turned his head and looked at Zhang Fuling, sighed and said:

"I know what Lord Zhang said is true, but I am helpless, and this is also the fate of my family."

Zhang Fuling shook his sleeves, his face seemed a little excited and his fingers trembled.

"Fatefulness? Good birds choose trees to live on. I don't need to tell you about this principle. You are a censor. You are no problem with these things that quote scriptures and classics. Why is it so pedantic to yourself?

Your Hu family and the Li family, with a total of more than 100 lives, you can ignore it. Do you really want to force Your Majesty to investigate the court and the people, and the emperor was furious and buried a million corpses. Do you really don’t understand this principle?

Just because your family received the support of the Jinwu Sect a hundred years ago, you are now taking your family to sacrifice your life, but what is wrong with these implicated people? Can the explosion of a small workshop destroy Daliang’s century-old foundation?

It is impossible, but His Majesty's reputation for life will leave the reputation of a tyrant because of this catastrophe, and the people of Daliang will live in dire straits due to turmoil and restlessness. Are these people guilty? Are the implicated officials guilty?

The people will not scold His Majesty for being cruel today, but will only curse the remnants of the previous dynasty and live in peace. The Golden Crow Cult harms loyal and kindness. Your family will also bear the reputation of treacherous ministers and will not be able to live in peace even if they die.

You feel that you are a big mistake in killing yourself. All you get is a bad reputation for being in trouble for thousands of years!”

Hu Zongmao shook his body and sat on the ground with a thump. He was drunk. He was indeed a little dizzy, and what was even more blown was Zhang Fuling's words.

Zhang Fuling was right. He was sure to have been infatuated for thousands of years. When he thought of his second son who had no life, the softest part in his heart was touched.

Hu Zongmao smiled bitterly and looked out the window again. This was his first time in Beishan, but he had already shocked him enough here.

The flying ball that Zhang Fuling just mentioned must be the most important thing in the army.

After all, from ancient times to the present, I have never heard of anyone who can go to heaven.

And the medical skills here are simply shocking. Seeing Daliang so prosperous, he didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.

"Oh, I'll be a stubborn person for thousands of years. Many things are not something I can choose. However, since I was a child, I sincerely hope that Daliang can have good weather and prosperity, peace and prosperity. This is what I say in my heart. Lord Zhang... Do you believe it?"

Zhang Fuling nodded, with no sarcasm on his face, and was very sincere.

"I believe, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you with peach blossoms today. Your Majesty, courtiers, want a peaceful country and peace.

However, the existence of the Golden Crow Sect is the biggest variable. To be honest, no matter who the people are, they just look at who is good to them and whether they are well-fed and well-dressed. I don’t want to say anything else. Your Majesty gives me seven days, and today is the second day.

I will give you three days to think about it, and tell me everything I know. Although it may not be exempted from the guilt of your Hu family and Li family, at least it will not involve the innocent, nor will the government and the people in the world be displaced and become involved in war again."

Hu Zongmao looked at Zhang Fuling with a steady attitude. If Zhang Fuling said that he would go to the old emperor to explain and try his best to relieve the guilt of their families, he would not believe it, because the matter had already happened and the alcohol workshop had become a ruin. Such a big thing was very involved, and he did not think about keeping it alone.

Thinking of this, he bowed to Zhang Fuling and said:

"Thank you, Lord Zhang, I really need to think about it."

Zhang Fuling nodded. He knew that it would be of no benefit to anyone if he was forced.

"Do I need to leave the second young master here?"

Hu Zongmao shook his head, "Thank you, Lord Zhang for your kindness, no need to let me be quiet!"

Zhang Fuling stood up, carried two wine bowls and an empty wine bottle, and left the room directly. The sunlight outside was a bit dazzling. He looked up and saw that such sunlight was really comfortable.

Wang Anquan came over from the side, "Sir, do you need to take it out, or send it back to Shuntian Mansion for custody?"

Zhang Fuling shook his head. The capital could not go back for the time being. This was not conducive to investigation and was easily disturbed by external interference. At this moment, he still had to wait for Fang Jizhong to come back to see what the emperor meant, and then decide on the next step of staying or leaving.

"The two of them are detained separately, and as for the others, there is no need to be interrogated."

Wang Anquan was stunned, "No need to interrogate?"

Zhang Fuling nodded, "Don't deduct it for food and drink, wait for Eunuch Fang to come back first before discussing it."

Wang Anquan did not dare to say anything else, so he took the two of them to be detained separately. Zhang Wan asked to go to Zhang Fuling and took the wine pot and wine bowl.

"Sir, do you need our Shuntian Mansion to follow us to guard us?"

Zhang Fuling nodded, "Send a team of people to follow you. You have to check these rooms every hour. After all, those who come to Beishan are all criminals. You can make arrangements in person, and don't have any conflicts with the factory guards."

In front of Zhang Fuling, Zhang Wanxun gently followed a sheep, quickly said yes and took people there.

......

The next day, it just dawned.

Zhou Heng and Zhu Yunmo squatted in the same room, without lighting the light, just lay on the window and looked outside. With the sound of mosquitoes, Zhu Yunmo felt the itch and pain on his face, and raised his hand and slapped the mosquitoes to death.

Zhou Heng turned his head and stared at Zhu Yunmo, trying hard to minimize his voice, grabbed his wrist and shouted.

"What is the prince doing? The masters brought by Fang Jizhong, do you hope they all know that we are hiding here?"

Zhu Yunmo was also very upset, with a guilty look on his face. He quickly raised his fingers and placed them beside his mouth, indicating that Zhou Heng should not be upset. He did not mean it. Zhou Heng sighed, and he couldn't be in a hurry at this time.

At this moment, a movement came from the north window. Zhou Heng raised his hand to cover Zhu Yunmo's mouth. This guy was shocked. If he shouted something, he would be ruined today.

Just as the north window opened, a figure flashed in. The man seemed to be completely adapting to the darkness. He walked directly to Zhou Heng and Zhu Yunmo and knelt on one knee. This time, Zhou Heng knew who it was.

"Pang Qi?"

"Pang Qi has met the prince and his uncle."

Zhou Heng was worried for a while and quickly waved his hand and signaled Pang Qi not to be so loud.

"Speak a little bit, I wonder if the factory guards are around you, have you done everything?"

Pang Qi nodded, shook his hand and lit an oil lamp with a fire sniff, then continued:

"Don't worry, I just checked it. There are no factories and yamen around our building. I have already brought people to that dry well. Everything inside, including gold, silver and jewelry without age marks or special marks, has been brought back.

The secret passage of the dry well was also re-arranged. Even if someone opened it, there was no trace of being moved. As for the gold and silver he had taken back, he had been properly placed in Manager Zhang's place, and stored it in the preservation warehouse with the things sent by the third prince before."

When Zhou Heng heard this, he let go of Zhu Yunmo's mouth. According to Pang Qi's opinion, there were a lot of gold and silver, otherwise he would not have mobilized such a large number of troops.

“There’s a lot of stuff?”

Pang Qi nodded, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and handed it to Zhou Heng with both hands. Although Zhou Heng was not his master, he was the prince's best friend and tried his best to protect them. Just like yesterday, if it were not for Zhou Heng, they would naturally be inevitable to be punished this time.

"Please look at it, there were no too many records in a hurry, I just wrote a list casually. The other things that were not taken away were all underworld objects with the Golden Crow logo. The shape and specifications of the instruments were obvious. At first glance, they were from the imperial tombs of the previous dynasty, and the number was huge enough to count."

Zhou Heng was stunned and widened his eyes.

Zhu Yunmo stood up first, "Damn, is this my own ancestral tomb dug? For more than 300 years, there were twenty-four emperors in the Wei State. The last one died tragically, and the tombs had not been built. For the twenty-three emperors in front, the things in this underground palace are indeed not a small number of things together!"

Zhu Yunmo seemed to be feeling something else, but Zhou Heng pulled him to death, looking at Pang Qi and asked:

"You have carefully taken stock of these things from the various tombs?"

Pang Qi nodded, "I have looked carefully. There are boxes of big and small inside. The things behind are thrown into it in a mess. They are very hasty. Although the things they hold are all underworld objects, they only selected gold and gems, and there were no bronze objects.

As for the things that my subordinates brought back, they all leaned against the innermost box. There were six boxes of either gold ingots or jewelry and jade. One box was carefully looked at by the subordinates. It was full of crowns and phoenix crowns, which were extremely exquisite, but they would never dare to touch these things.

When my subordinates brought people out, they put the things at the door into a box and then re-arranged them with dust and sand. Even if they found it here, they could not think of anyone who had ever been in."

Zhou Heng nodded, Pang Qi's approach was very correct.

"It's not an exaggeration to do it right. Besides, you can find it. There is nothing you can't find with the factory guard's sense of smell, it's just a matter of time."
