Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

In the courtyard of the Cui family mansion, decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, Zhang Xianhuai, his face weary, complained to Lin Dafu beside him, "Teacher, you've already read this so many times! There's nothing left! I've already copied everything here!"

There was a subtle hint of irritation in his voice. The house raids during this period had already exhausted him both physically and mentally.

Lin Dafu seemed not to hear anything, but just glanced around the mansion with sharp eyes.

The Jinyiwei were moving around the Cui family mansion, turning over almost every inch of the land, and were almost digging three feet underground.

But Lin Dafu always stubbornly declared, "It wasn't copied cleanly."

This caused Zhang Xianhuai to fall into deep self-doubt, and he was almost driven crazy by this endless torment.

Lin Dafu slowly turned his head and glanced at Zhang Xianhuai, his eyes filled with a trace of disappointment: "You are young, or too young. When you searched the house, you only knew how to take away those vulgar things."

As he spoke, he stretched out his stubby fingers and pointed at the various stones that the Cui family had piled up by the lake.

"Why don't you move those rocks?"

Zhang Xianhuai looked in the direction of his finger, his face full of indifference, even a little speechless.

"What value can these stones have?"

He curled his lips and said.

In his opinion, these stones were just some useless rocks, so why waste time and energy on them.

Hearing Zhang Xianhuai's ignorant words, Lin Dafu's eyes widened in anger. He glared at him fiercely and shouted, "What's it worth?"

Looking at Zhang Xianhuai's stupid appearance, he was filled with rage. He raised his hand and slapped Zhang Xianhuai on the head in frustration.

"You've been following me since you were little. It's also my fault that I didn't let you see much of the world."

"This thing is called a strange stone, and a strange stone is one that is completely natural and ingeniously crafted."

"Look at that old turtle in the middle. It has no signs of polishing and is completely natural. It is truly a priceless treasure. Do you understand?"

"After moving these strange rocks away, drain the lake. When there's nothing left, have people dig!"

When Zhang Xianhuai heard about the plan to drain the lake, he scratched his head in annoyance and tried to persuade them, "Teacher, is this not necessary?"

He really couldn't understand why all the trouble was made to mess with the lake water.

In his view, this was undoubtedly a futile act.

Lin Dafu just gave him a cold look and asked, "What? Don't you want to listen to the teacher?"

Zhang Xianhuai was helpless. He knew his teacher's temper. Seeing that Lin Dafu was a little angry, he could only obediently ask someone to find a way to drain the lake.

Nine water outlets were opened at the same time, and water flowed out like a torrent. The sound of the rushing water echoed in the mansion and lasted for a whole day and night before the artificial lake in the Cui family mansion was completely drained.

At this time, the bottom of the lake was exposed before everyone's eyes. All that could be seen with the naked eye was some mud emitting a foul smell, and some fish jumping around in the muddy water.

Zhang Xianhuai looked at Lin Dafu with confusion.

Lin Dafu remained calm and expressionless, only uttering one word: "Dig!"

Zhang Xianhuai had no choice but to order the Jinyiwei to dig at the bottom of the lake.

Even he himself could not escape Lin Dafu's "arrangement" and was kicked down to dig the mud.

While digging, Zhang Xianhuai secretly complained in his heart, who would hide such good things under this mud?

This thought has not yet dissipated in his mind.

Suddenly, a Jinyiwei shouted in surprise: "Commander! There is something hard underneath! It looks like a wooden board!"

When he heard the wooden board, the stingy fat man instantly became nervous, his eyes widened, and he shouted anxiously: "Don't be so clumsy, you people."

"Broken the wooden board, gently remove the mud from it for me!"

The Jinyiwei usually only obeyed the orders of Zhang Xianhuai, but now Fatty Lin was the teacher of their commander. Faced with this sudden situation, they were in a dilemma and had no choice but to obey.

They could only carefully follow Lin Dafu's instructions conveyed by Zhang Xianhuai and use their hands to remove the mud on the wooden board bit by bit.

When the silt at the bottom of the entire artificial lake was removed, the exquisite patterns on the wooden boards appeared completely before everyone's eyes.

It was a Pixiu that was carved vividly. Its eyes were bright and sharp, as if it was gazing at the treasures of the world. Every hair and every texture was delicate and lifelike, as if it would jump out of the wooden board at the next moment.

When Zhang Xianhuai saw the Pixiu, he was so excited that he jumped for joy and shouted, "I'm rich! I'm really rich! The pattern on it is a Pixiu, which proves that there must be a lot of treasure underneath, which only goes in and never comes out!"

"I told you! There's definitely something wrong with building an artificial lake like this in the mansion!"

At this time, Zhang Xianhuai asked, "Teacher, is this wooden board still useful now? If not, I'll smash it!"

Hearing Zhang Xianhuai's extremely ignorant words, the fat man almost fainted from anger. He swayed a few times before steadying himself. He pointed at Zhang Xianhuai's nose and cursed, "You! You idiot!"

"Don't ever tell anyone that I'm your teacher! I beg you, Master! Do you know what you're stepping on right now?"

Zhang Xianhuai was stunned by the scolding, then he seemed to be thinking about something, and his mind was quickly thinking about various precious woods.

Finally, his eyes lit up and he asked tentatively, "Could it be golden nanmu?"

After saying this, he widened his eyes and looked carefully at the pattern made up of pieces of golden nanmu wood.

Lin Dafu looked at him like this, shook his head in disappointment, and sighed, "You are only half-baked at your job. I don't understand why His Majesty would use you. This is indeed golden nanmu, but this is even more precious than golden nanmu."

"The full name of this thing is golden nanmu dark wood. It is cultivated by humans. It has been cultivated for at least two hundred years to have this effect."

“Plus this pattern.”

Lin Dafu swallowed unconsciously as he spoke, his eyes full of amazement.

"A priceless treasure!"

"Be careful not to knock or damage these pieces of wood."

"Bring them ashore piece by piece, and gently wipe them clean on the cushions."

"This thing only looks good as a set. If one piece is missing, it won't do!"

Upon hearing this, the Jinyiwei hurriedly acted more cautiously. They knew how precious this treasure was and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Zhang Xianhuai stood aside, watching the busy crowd, his heart full of regret.

I didn’t expect the teacher to have such broad knowledge!

In the future, I must learn more from my teacher and stop being reckless and ignorant.
