Smash the wall?
Cao Qingyan and others were stunned when they heard this, and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, why are you smashing the wall? I sent people to check. It's a solid wall with no mezzanine."
Li Yi raised his head and glanced at him, "Really?"
"Smash the wall!"
Since His Majesty gave the order, it was hard for him to refuse. The holy will could not be violated, so he immediately ordered people to break down the wall.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sledgehammer flew up, and the rocks on the wall that were smashed by a dozen Forbidden Army soldiers with hammers as big as their heads flew up. Sparks flew everywhere, causing the ground to tremble.
The loud sound caused the soldiers from the Beijing camp outside the mansion to poke their heads to see what happened. Why did they smash up the wall?
Many soldiers in the Beijing camp were confused when they saw this scene, "What do you mean, Your Majesty? Why are you smashing the wall? Is there something in the wall?"
"I see, you must be suspecting that there is a mezzanine in this wall, right?"
"Impossible. There is a mezzanine in the wall. Do you need such a big hammer? You can test it out with just a light tap."
"Then why?"
"No matter what, if we don't give General Xia an explanation today, we won't leave!"
"..."
The soldiers in the Beijing camp were talking incessantly, and their voices were getting louder and louder, and the accumulated anger was getting stronger and stronger.
This worried Cao Qingyan and his party, and Lu Hancheng secretly ordered that if it didn't work, he would kill all the troublemaking soldiers in the Beijing camp to prevent them from mutiny and rebellion.
"Bang bang bang!"
One blow, two blows... fifty blows... three hundred blows!
The hammers swung by more than a dozen soldiers were smoking, but the wall still did not respond at all. At this time, Cao Qingyan said that they all gave up any hope. If there was really a mezzanine, the sound should not be so dull.
The same was true for the soldiers in the Beijing camp. They all looked at this scene with suspicious expressions.
But Li Yi still had no intention of letting go, "Substitute, continue!"
His Majesty gave the order, and everyone present did not dare to neglect, and continued to change people and continue smashing the wall.
It wasn't until the 500th blow, and three waves of soldiers, that cracks were made in the wall. The inside was not a mezzanine, but solid stone.
Cao Qingyan took a look and looked at Li Yi tentatively, but Li Yi still ordered coldly, "Keep smashing the wall!"
Sudden!
There was a boom.
The walls could no longer hold up.
The hard wall collapsed, rocks flew in all directions, and the dust and smoke cleared. A dark hole appeared in front of everyone, and there seemed to be a step passage that led directly to the depths of the ground.
"What's this?"
"It's a dark room. Quick, report to Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise!" All the soldiers of the Forbidden Army shouted in unison.
Cao Qingyan had a look of disbelief on his face. It wasn't until he ran to the entrance of the cave that he really confirmed it. His old face instantly turned red with embarrassment. He had just promised, well...
"Your Majesty, could it be that you are an immortal descended to earth? How did you know that there is a dark room under this wall? I checked it several times but couldn't find it?"
Li Yi smiled faintly, how could such a little trick be hidden from a generation of military kings? In his previous life, he was also excellent in the cultural courses in the army. This kind of deception seemed extremely ridiculous in front of him.
"Ahem!"
He coughed twice. He couldn't say that he had learned it before time travel. He smiled and said: "There is something wrong with this wall itself. As long as you mix glutinous rice with special sand and mix it to solidify, it will not only cover up the sound below, but also strengthen it to prevent fire."
Cao Qingyan was completely convinced, and he admired Li Yi to the extreme in his heart. He nodded heavily, "Your Majesty is wise and wise, and this old slave cannot flatter you."
Li Yi shook his head, "It's not your fault. I was almost deceived. If it weren't for the fact that these walls didn't look burned at all, I wouldn't have thought of it."
"Let's go down and take a look!"
He took the lead and walked straight towards the dark room. Cao Qingyan was afraid that there would be some trap, so he hurried to the front.
Others followed closely behind, and after walking dozens of steps, the front suddenly opened up, and a rather large dark room came into view.
"this……"
Just one glance, and everyone present gasped in surprise, looking at the scene in front of them in shock.
In the huge secret room, rows of shelves were filled with all kinds of precious jewelry and jades, countless antique calligraphy and paintings piled up like rubble, and boxes of gold bricks. In addition, there were other items on the table. A wooden box.
"Xia Dehe, you old bastard, how much black money have you collected from them? It's too much!" Cao Qingyan was furious. Even though he was nine thousand years old, he had never seen so many gold and jewelry.
"Damn it!"
"Deserves to be killed!"
"Who knows how many people they harmed to accumulate so many treasures!"
"This is all done by the people. No one of these corrupt officials should be spared. No innocent person should be killed!"
Angry voices came and went, making my teeth itch with hatred.
On the other hand, Li Yi had a calm look on his face. He had already guessed what was going on and immediately said: "Let those soldiers from the Beijing camp come down and take a look. This is Mr. Xia Dehe who they want to keep even at the risk of mutiny and forcing the palace to be killed. What a general!"
Cao Qingyan nodded, "No!"
Now no one is saying that the emperor kills innocent people indiscriminately and harms loyal people. Do you think these things should be in the home of a loyal minister and good general?
"Your Majesty is wise, and we admire you. If it weren't for Your Majesty, I really don't know how to explain it to these Beijing camp soldiers." Lu Hancheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, he really wanted to kill thousands of Beijing camp soldiers outside the door. It's clean.
Li Yi glanced around, and his eyes suddenly lit up. A wooden box on the table attracted his attention.
What kind of treasure can Xia Dehe keep in the secret room?
He quickly walked to the table, opened the wooden box, and found a ledger lying inside. Just as he was about to reach out, a pungent smell suddenly spurted out.
"not good!"
He quickly backed away, and the next second, a ball of flame spurted out, "Quick, put out the fire!"
Cao Qingyan, with quick eyesight and quick hands, raised his hand and knocked the wooden box down to the ground. Unfortunately, the fire was too fast. Even with the rapid rescue, it burned everything, leaving only a few incomplete pieces of paper.
So cautious!
Xia Dehe was so cautious that he actually set up a trap in the wooden box. If he did not operate it properly, the wooden box would be burned immediately. This was beyond Li Yi's expectation.
I am still too impatient and underestimate these beasts!
Li Yi took the torn piece of paper handed over by Cao Qingyan. There was no complete information on it, only some intermittent words that could not be coherent at all.
On the 11th... Zhu Yuan... the gold... was delivered!
The next line, Fourteenth Night...the God-Slaying Plan!
Just these few words and nothing more.
But just these few words made Li Yi tremble all over. He raised his head suddenly, his eyes were dazzling, and his fingers were clenched.
Zhu Yuan should be Marshal Zhu, the leader of the rebels outside Tongguan, Zhu Chongyuan. The gold should be the military pay for these rebels!
It can be seen that these beasts colluded with the powerful officials of the imperial court to recruit the Tongguan rebels and provide them with military pay information. No wonder my soldiers were defeated one after another and were forced to retreat to Tongguan. It turned out that these bastards were behind the scenes!
It seems that the account book Ma Chen mentioned really exists. As long as the account book is found, none of these corrupt officials can escape!
Look at the next sentence again. On the fourteenth night, there is another plan to kill the gods.
Fourteenth Night should be a date, but what is the God-Slaying Plan?
This sentence made Li Yi confused. Neither Ma Chen nor anyone else mentioned the God-Slaying Plan. What exactly is this God-Slaying Plan?
Kill the God?
Who is God?
Li Yi was puzzled, but his heart became colder and colder. Well, these bastards actually colluded with the traitor Zhu Chongyuan. I finally understand now, I understand it completely!
This network is getting clearer and clearer. Young Master Yan, the powerful officials of the imperial court, the Longmen killer, and the traitor Zhu Chongyuan are all on this network. As long as they grab one end, they can pull everyone out!
Mr. Yan, I haven't seen you yet. You wait for me. When I find the evidence, even your father Yan Ge will not be able to escape. I will skin you one by one!
Not long after, the leaders of the soldiers from the Beijing camp came in one after another. When they saw the countless treasures and gold in the dark room, they were all stunned.
To be precise, faith collapsed!
At this moment, everything they guarded collapsed.
Li Yi said calmly: "Xia Dehe not only took bribes and drank the blood of soldiers, but also colluded with the Longmen killers to act as a protective umbrella. These are the black money he collected."
What?
With a plop, these soldiers from the Beijing camp could no longer bear it and knelt down.
One of them even cried loudly, burst into tears, and cursed endlessly.
