When Zhong Yu heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened and he said, "It's easy to talk about!"
"I have long heard that Yangzhou Longjing is a royal tribute tea, which is far better than Dongding Oolong. Nowadays, it is rare in Qiandu City. I am afraid that only the East Palace can get it."
"This time, I have benefited from General Anbei's honor and can taste some tribute tea."
"What are you talking about, Mr. Zhong? You are an elder. You have worked hard in the Ministry of Punishment over the years, and you have made countless contributions to Da Qian."
"As a junior, I think I should treat you to a cup of tea."
"General Anbei is really smart, and he is a promising young man!" After hearing this, Zhong Yu understood that the matter was settled, and a big stone fell in his heart. He looked at Li Changkong in front of him, and then said again: "I heard that General Anbei's child is At that time, he was plotted against by thieves from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and his meridians were injured, making him unable to practice martial arts?"
"It is indeed true. If it weren't for my father's great help, I'm afraid there would be no Changkong in this world." Li Changkong smiled, but he didn't shy away from such things.
In the future, Bei Yuan will be destroyed and Tuoba Khan will be killed.
Naturally, this shame is no longer a shame, but an honor.
"Oh, that Beiyuan traitor is really hateful."
"It's just that the general is General Anbei after all. I'm afraid he will rarely have to go to the battlefield in the future. Since he doesn't know martial arts, he must have something for self-defense."
"It just so happens that I have a soft star armor given to me by a merchant from Nanliang. Although it is as light as a feather, it is indestructible and cannot be damaged by any sharp weapon except a magic weapon."
"I'm a civil servant. It's a waste to keep it at home. Why not give it to a general so that he can be protected on the battlefield in the future."
When Li Changkong heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Why is this so embarrassing?"
"But it is a gift given by the elders and cannot be declined. It would be disrespectful for Changkong to reject it."
When Zhong Yu heard this, he felt relieved.
I am not afraid that you will accept it, but I am afraid that you will not accept it.
Li Changkong is the core figure of the Prince's faction. With his support, there will no longer be any problems in siding with the Prince and gaining a certain status.
For a time, there was a banquet of laughter and laughter in the carriage.
After a while, Tianyijiao arrived.
Zhang Hongfa, who was wearing a plain Taoist robe, had already been waiting at the entrance of the Taoist temple. When he saw Li Changkong coming, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Here?"
"Well, senior brother, I'm sorry."
"Why bother to apologize? If Chen Qianyuan can do such a thing, it is tantamount to putting the entire Tianyi Sect on the fire."
"If you can expose him, you will actually save the Tianyi Sect."
"You can forgive the evil you do by God, but you can't live if you do your own evil."
Zhang Hongfa is a Taoist who likes to lie down, so he is naturally more open-minded than ordinary people when encountering things.
Even reason has told him that Li Changkong's approach is undoubtedly correct.
However, people are not saints, how can they be ruthless?
He vaguely remembered the scene when he led Chen Qianyuan up the mountain.
This apprentice has been smart since he was a child.
It's just that he doesn't like to practice Taoism, but is keen on business matters.
Simply, he handed Tianyi Sect over to him.
Facts have also proved that Chen Qianyuan has indeed managed Tianyi Sect very well. Over the years, the incense has been very prosperous.
It's just that... I lost my sense of proportion and didn't know what I could do and what I couldn't do.
It's his own fault.
"Come with me, Qianyuan's house is within the sect."
Under the leadership of Zhang Hongfa, Li Changkong and a group of people from the Ministry of Punishment quickly arrived at their destination and immediately launched a vigorous raid on their homes.
After a while, a commissioner from the Ministry of Punishment walked over with a solemn expression. He first looked at Zhong Yu, then looked at Li Changkong, but hesitated to speak.
"General Li is one of our own, but there's no harm in talking," Zhong Yu said.
Hearing this, the man said truthfully: "There is something wrong with the floor in Chen Qianyuan's room. I'm afraid there is something inside."
Hearing this, Zhong Yu frowned slightly.
He is just a little Taoist priest, but there is such a thing as a secret door and a secret room?
Li Changkong also looked at Zhang Hongfa: "Brother, do you know about this matter?"
Zhang Hongfa shook his head when he heard this and said, "I don't know."
"When Tianyi Sect was founded, it never designed secret doors or secret rooms."
"But since Chen Qianyuan took charge of Tianyi Sect, I have no longer interfered with all matters within the sect. They are all under his direct control."
Hearing this, Li Changkong nodded and said, "It seems that Chen Qianyuan should have built this secret room himself."
"Dig it up and take a look." Zhong Yu immediately ordered.
"promise!"
Nearly an hour later, the bottom of Chen Qianyuan's house was finally dug through.
Li Changkong and others expected it to be a secret room!
Fortunately, anti-theft equipment was not developed these days, so an iron door was installed in the secret room, which was eventually violently broken open by officers from the Criminal Department.
After entering the secret room, the jewels everywhere blinded Li Changkong and others.
I saw that the secret room was not very big. Li Changkong estimated that it was only less than a few square meters.
But... within these few square meters, there are piles of gold and silver everywhere, as well as all kinds of agates, jade, pearls and jade.
Of course, the most valuable thing is banknotes!
Basket after basket piled up!
Seeing this scene, Zhang Hongfa was dumbfounded and murmured: "In recent years...has the incense in the temple been so good?"
Li Changkong and Zhong Yu looked at each other, their hearts sinking to the bottom.
The money here is not too much, at least for Li Changkong.
After all, Zhenguo Fast Food cooperates directly with the imperial court and the Ministry of War, and has opened large and small branches in Qiandu City. His monthly dividends have almost caught up with these.
But for Chen Qianyuan, a Taoist priest, it was more wealth than he could accumulate in several lifetimes!
He shouldn't have so much money! If anything goes wrong, there must be a monster!
"I'm afraid these are not Tianyi Sect's money."
"No matter how good the incense of Tianyijiao is, it still requires daily expenses, and the net profit is actually not high. It will probably take decades to accumulate such a lot of wealth."
"I'm afraid these things have other origins."
This is what Li Changkong said, and it is clear information.
But some things are tacitly understood.
For example, combined with the slogan Chen Qianyuan shouted before: Abolish the prince and establish the King of Jing!
It is self-evident as to whose hand this money came from.
Zhang Hongfa also understood at this time that Chen Qianyuan was afraid that he was working for King Jing or one of King Jing's subordinates, so he used the name of Emperor Zhenwu to dethrone the prince!
These are the benefits before you!
"It's really... extremely stupid!" Zhang Hongfa sneered, and the last trace of pity in his heart disappeared at this moment.
For his own benefit, he almost got the entire Tianyi Sect involved.
He simply regretted bringing such a thing back in the first place!
Zhong Yu didn't say much, but directly stepped forward to check.
I looked at gold and silver first, then emerald agate, and then pearls and jade.
After reading it, I felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so I simply counted the numbers.
However, when he picked up the banknote, he couldn't help but frown.
This is a bank note with a face value of one hundred taels. It is very common in money shops. Zhong Yu has seen many of it on weekdays.
The one in front of me is almost exactly the same as a normal banknote.
But... Zhong Yu just felt that something was wrong.
He couldn't say what was wrong, but decades of career in the Ministry of Criminal Justice gave him criminal investigation abilities that were beyond ordinary people.
This ability is mainly manifested in insight!
And now, his insight tells him that this banknote may be a counterfeit!
