Chapter 329 Armor Equipment
Although the Liu family is from Hedong, they are prime ministers of four generations and have been officials in Chang'an for several generations, and have already taken root here.
The Liu Mansion is also in Shengyefang, not far from Li’s house, but their house is much larger than Li Xiao’s house. Li Xiao’s house is only eighteen acres, and they are several times more than once.
The Liu family has many villas in Chang'an and the capital, and it is not easy to search one by one. However, the Liu family's house in Shengyefang has a great harvest, and the Liu family's house has many secret rooms.
In fact, many large mansions in Chang'an have secret rooms, and even underground secret rooms. But Baiqisi is specialized in monitoring and monitoring. The Liu family already has their own obscene lines. With their professional methods, several secret rooms were soon discovered.
After opening it, you will get a lot of rewards.
There are a large amount of gold, silver and money stored in the underground secret room, as well as many land deeds, land deeds, etc.
Of course, these are nothing. There is no such thing as a family of a century-old famous family. But what is really amazing is that in one of the underground secret rooms, hundreds of sets of various armor were found, as well as a large number of horse spears, spears, crossbows, long bows, etc.
It is simply an underground arsenal, enough to arm an army of hundreds of people.
What surprised the captain of the team leader the hundred cavalry most was that they also found eighteen boxes, sealed and locked. After trying hard to open them, there were actually complete sets of armored cavalry equipment inside.
What is armor riding gear?
That is the equipment of heavy armored cavalry, the armor and vests of heavy cavalry and combat cavalry, and the combat weapons of the knights.
There seem to be not many eighteen sets of armored riding gear.
But don't forget that the equipment of heavy cavalry is extremely expensive. Each set of equipment can be regarded as the armor of a general. Each heavy armor is carefully crafted, and the people are really covered in everything they want. They can completely ignore the defense of the enemy formation when charging.
Although this kind of heavy cavalry also has many shortcomings, such as insufficient endurance, short charge time, high equipment cost, high requirements for war horses, long training time for knights, and difficulty in replenishing quickly when there is a loss in a person and horse.
But these cannot cover up the ferocity of heavy cavalry. When the two armies are fighting, the heavy cavalry can often change the situation on the entire battlefield as soon as they charge. They are the most advantageous tip of the entire army.
Their mission is very simple, and it's enough to rush at critical moments. As long as you finish a while, you can break the enemy's formation and they won't have to worry about it later.
When Li Shimin was the King of Qin, he fought south and north and east and west, and had a sharp heavy cavalry, known as the Xuan Iron Cavalry.
There is also Luo Yi, who was named king when he defected to the Tang Dynasty. He also had a Youzhou Iron Cavalry under his command.
No one would have thought that there would be eighteen sets of armored horses and riding gear hidden in the secret room of the Liu family, the fourth-generation prime minister.
He kept three-collar leather armor privately as if he was snatched. He dared to hide more than 100 sets of Mingguang armor and 18 sets of armor and riding gear. This is really a tragic death.
In fact, Liu Shuang's mother didn't know that there were these armor weapons in the mansion.
She did not lie, and this batch of privately hidden weapons had been hidden here for a long time. It can be said that the Sui Dynasty was first established and moved the capital to Xinchang'an City. The Liu family built a mansion here. Then the batch of armor was moved from the old mansion, and then it was locked in the box in the underground secret room without seeing the light of day.
As for who first bought these armor weapons, and why they were bought, there is actually no way to know.
But it is not difficult to guess that the fourth generation of the Liu family had four dynasties and was the prime minister of the four dynasties. The late Northern Wei Dynasty happened to be a period of great turmoil. The north and south had split for hundreds of years after the Jin Dynasty, and the north was in turmoil in the east and west at the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
After years of war, even the landlords and powerful people in the country built forts to protect themselves. Whoever has some strength is not armed?
I think that when the Western Wei Dynasty was established, there were soldiers as generals, and the eight pillar states were divided into soldiers across the country. It was not until the Sui Dynasty that these were finally reformed and there were no more private soldiers. The soldiers and generals from the Twelve Guards were separated.
With the Liu family's previous strength, it is indeed normal for the family to hide more than a hundred sets of armor. Even if there are eighteen precious armored cavalry, it is nothing.
Which of the Guanlong nobles and gentry families did not have such a family background?
However, this kind of thing cannot be mentioned on the table.
After all, when the imperial court reformed the system, those private armor and weapons were limited to the amount of private storage, and many of the equipment were included in the list that were not allowed to be private storage.
The Liu family did not submit it back then, and this was their problem. Now that it has been found, it is naturally their crime.
Of course, not only did these be found in Liu Mansion, but also many account books.
Some are normal books, some are loans and other books, and some are black books when Liu Shi was an official in the past.
In addition, Baiqi even found several imprisoned women in an underground secret room on a rockery.
When asked, these girls were once good girls from Chang'an City, but because of their beautiful appearance, they were snatched and imprisoned by Liu Shuang. There were a total of eight women, and the one who was imprisoned the longest had been here for three years.
According to the girl, there were other girls here before, but many of them were taken away later. It is said that there were more than a dozen girls who were taken away.
These girls all accused Liu Shuang of the same evidence, accusing him of kidnapping and looting them, raped and hurting them.
"It's not a pity to die!"
Facing the report from Master Zhang, the commander of the hundreds of cavalry, Li Zhi slapped the table again in anger.
Piles of weapons and armor were placed on the courtyard open space in front of the hall, and there were eight poor women.
All of this nailed the Liu family firmly on the pillar of shame.
Liu Shuang is already dead, but she cannot let it go. Li Zhi ordered that he would not restrain himself, cut off his head and hang it on the city gate in Chang'an for public display.
In addition, Liu Shi's tomb would be opened, his coffin would be opened, and Liu Shi's body would be dug out and exposed to the sun. Liu Shi's wife Cui was taken away from her imperial edict and was sentenced to serve in the palace.
House search!
All the houses of Liu were confiscated, and all the land and property were confiscated. The men of the Liu family were exiled to Lingnan, while all the women of Liu were buried in the palace as slaves.
The Liu family is the queen's uncle's family. Since the Western Wei Dynasty, it has been prime ministers in four dynasties for four generations, but it fell down in one blast.
"We will also investigate the Wang family and Cui family well, and conduct a thorough investigation!"
Li Zhi took this opportunity to pursue the queen to the end and completely eliminate the queen's family.
"Your Majesty, the Wang family is the queen's mother's family. Do you have a few faces left for the queen?" Shi Zhong Li Daozong said.
Under this situation, the Wang family will definitely find out the problem, and the result will be obvious. The position of the queen is difficult to protect, and the prince is difficult to protect.
Guanlong Group has always been on the side of the queen and crown prince Li Zhong, and his representative has to speak out.
"Who am I using it for? Who has left me with me? I have hidden so many armor and weapons, and even armored cavalry equipment. What are you going to do? Do you want to rebel in Chang'an City? If it weren't for this investigation, I really wouldn't know that such a thing would happen."
