The mud that Zheng Yuanshou and the others saw in the Daxiong Palace that day was not at all the mud that shaped the mud tires, but the mud dug out from the ground.
Those so-called craftsmen were naturally not real craftsmen, but the confidantes Li Er recruited from Baiqisi to dress up.
After the Xingguo Temple was handed over to the aristocratic family to guard it, the staff of Baiqisi pretended to be craftsmen and went to the Daxiong Palace every day for construction.
Borrowing the cover of the extremely noisy construction sounds, the ground below the side hall was dug through, and all the gold was smuggled into the secret room under the main hall.
After the gold was emptied, the soil accumulated in the main hall was backfilled to fill the lower part of the hall.
Therefore, after the fire that day, Li Er ordered people to dig down, but nothing was found except soil.
And the only difficulty in this plan is how to cover up the eyes of those aristocratic families.
But since it was Li Wangyou who took the initiative to keep the windows on the gable wall for observation, then this is naturally a "loophole" deliberately left by Li Wangyou, the purpose is to confuse the eyes of those aristocratic families... …
698 Seeing is believing
In later generations, Li Wangyou likes to watch all kinds of high-IQ crime movies, and the "Mission: Impossible" series is his favorite movie.
He remembered that in "Mission: Impossible 4", there was such a plot: Tom cruise and his assistants, after sneaking into the Kremlin, used a 3D projection screen to fully image, thereby visually deceiving, creating an "empty place". ’ hallway, the action behind the cover curtain.
It was precisely because of this that Li Wangyou thought of it that he deliberately proposed to keep the circular ventilation window on the gable wall so that the guards outside the side hall could observe the gold situation in the side hall at any time.
Whether it is Li Er, Cheng Yaojin, or Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are very puzzled by Li Wangyou's idea.
When they thought about it, if those aristocratic families could check the gold situation through the window at any time, how could Baiqisi secretly transport the gold away without being discovered?
Regarding this, Li Wangyou just laughed and didn't answer, only saying that the matter was on him.
While everyone was skeptical, Li Wangyou first secretly took a picture of the scene at the window with his mobile phone, and then returned to Dingzhou Village. Based on the photo on the mobile phone, he used the 3D imaging mode to draw a picture on the black curtain with gold powder. A curtain that is enough to deceive the eyes.
After all, there is no glass in the Tang Dynasty, so when the door of the hall is closed, the side hall is naturally dark.
Even during the day, through the windows above the gable, only faint gold can be seen.
When Li Wangyou taught Baiqisi's staff how to use the curtain to erect in front of the window to block their sight, such a peculiar visual deception stunned Li Er and the other bosses.
Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened from the window, and he looked at it carefully for a long time, but he didn't see any flaws, so he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Zhi Niang, Ziyou, you are really desperate, you can think of such a way ? This canvas, I looked at it for a long time and didn't see it was fake."
Li Er even shook his head: "As the saying goes, seeing is believing, but I never thought that these eyes would sometimes deceive me."
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were equally astonished. Who would have thought that the piles of gold in their eyes were just a piece of canvas?
But since Li Er and the others couldn't see through it, they couldn't see through the mysteries of those five-surname and seven-wang trilogy.
After entering the side hall through the tunnel, Baiqisi's staff immediately used a wooden bracket to place the curtain painted by Li Wangyou in front of the window on the gable wall to block the deceitful family. line of sight.
Due to the narrow windows and the extremely dark interior of the side hall, the curtain painted by Li Wangyou perfectly deceived everyone's eyes.
Even if the gold stored in the side hall was emptied, the family trilogy guarding outside the main hall still believed that the gold was still in the side hall without any doubt.
The tribal leaders of those aristocratic families couldn't figure it out until their death. Before the fire, I and others saw the gold piled up in the side hall with their own eyes. Why did it disappear without a trace after the fire...
As for the two charred corpses in the Daxiong Palace, of course they were not Monk Wenzai and Lin Daniu, but two dead corpses brought by Baiqisi.
On that day, Monk Wen Zai and Lin Daniu entered the Daxiong Hall in front of the family trilogy, poured the fire oil they had prepared on the two corpses, and then lit the fire folder, causing a big fire.
As for the two of them, they naturally hid in the secret room where gold is stored under the Daxiong Palace.
The two charred corpses, in the era without DNA testing, no one would doubt that the "monk of the right way" and his disciple "Lin Yang" are still alive.
The main hall and the side hall next to it have already been arranged by the Baiqisi's staff with various fire starters.With the fire, the side hall will naturally be ignited.
The fire burned all the traces in the side hall, as well as the curtains on the window, without leaving any evidence.
The million taels of gold mysteriously disappeared from everyone's eyes.
As the so-called darkness under the lamp, even if the patriarchs of Zheng Yuanshou and Wang Renyou wanted to break their heads, they would never have imagined that the gold had already been transferred to the underside of the Great Hall of Great Heroes that had also been burned in front of them.
They never imagined that the monks and apprentices who had died in their eyes were still alive and well.
The gold hidden under the main hall of Xingguo Temple was naturally secretly picked up by Baiqisi after the incident, and sent back to Taiji Palace and various residences.
Li Wangyou and the others were empty-handed white wolves this time, and they deceived the aristocratic family into a miserable situation.
The 60 taels of gold from the aristocratic family made Li Er and Li Wangyou a windfall, and each family got more than [-] taels of gold.
Although Li Wangyou is not short of money now, how can he not laugh at someone who gives him golden gold for nothing.
As for the so-called "gold mine" in Xingguo Temple, it has not yet been discovered that it is a fake, because several major temples in Chang'an City are currently in a lawsuit with Wu Xing Qiwang and Li Wangyou.
Back then, Monk Wenzai's so-called letter to the major temples in Chang'an City, telling them about the gold mine was of course a nonsense, it was just an excuse to fool Zheng Yuanshou and the others.
But when the Xingguo Temple caught fire, the letters signed by Zhengdao were sent to the major temples in Chang'an City and sent to the abbots.
I learned that Xingguo Temple still owns a gold mine, but now Xingguo Temple has been burned down, and the original abbot Zhengdao died.The abbots of these great temples rushed to Xingguo Temple one after another, demanding to receive the temple property of Xingguo Temple.
Naturally, Wang Renyou and the others were unwilling. The aristocratic family thought that even if the gold was lost, as long as the gold mine was in their hands, they could still make up for the loss in the future, so they took the document signed with the Zhengdao monk and refused to give up the gold mine.
The abbots of the major monasteries insisted that since the gold lent to Zhengdao was lost under the guard of the aristocratic family, this document should not be counted anymore.
Unless the aristocratic family puts out another million taels of gold, the gold mines should be handed over to the major temples in Chang'an City according to what the monk Zhengdao wrote in his letter.
The two sides couldn't stop arguing, so Li Er naturally couldn't speak, and Quan pretended not to know.
So the case went all the way from Chang'an County to Yushitai, which caused Wei Zheng a lot of headaches.
On one side are Qiwang with five surnames, Lu Guogong, Zheng Guogong, Lai Guogong, and even saints behind them; on the other hand, there are several big temples with countless believers.
Wei Zheng wanted Li Ersheng to be dismissed, but Li Er kicked the ball back.
The reason is still very legitimate, this matter involves himself, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, naturally he can't let others talk about it.
As a result, the case was put on hold again, and Xingguo Temple was ignored for the time being, and the gold mine could not be mined.
It was not until a few years later that Qiwang of the Five Surnames and the great temples in Chang'an City finally reached an agreement that the two parties would jointly mine gold mines and share the profits equally, and finally the Xingguo Temple Gold Mine, which had been shelved for a long time, started construction.
And in that bullshit "gold mine", there is naturally nothing but stones.Until then, Zheng Yuanshou, Wang Renyou and others, who had already retired, knew that they had been deceived by the monk.
Zheng Yuanshou was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, and fell seriously ill, but these are all for later.
In the Tai Chi Palace at this time, Li Er was in a great mood.
All the patriarchs with five surnames and Qiwang were forced to resign. Although there are still hundreds of officials from the family in the court, but without the seven patriarchs as their backbones and their constraints in the court, Li Erlian felt that his breathing was much lighter .
Not to mention how Li Er pretended to comfort the seven patriarchs in the Taiji Palace and praised their contributions to the court. At this time, Li Wangyou was seeing people off outside Chang'an...
