"This is a bit strange. Normally, there are medicines to repel mosquitoes, snakes and ants, so there shouldn't be any snakes." Nangong Jinghong was stunned when he saw it. He didn't expect that there were snakes in it.
At the beginning of the design, Nangong Jinghong had considered preventing mosquitoes, snakes, and ants, and had made very detailed arrangements. Therefore, when he first saw Ye Kai hacking a grass snake to death, he was a little surprised.
It seems that the situation here is different from what I expected. What should I do if there is a venomous snake?
Fortunately, the two of them walked a few steps forward and did not encounter any more snakes. However, Nangong Jinghong poked the medicine bag next to the stone steps with his stick and found that because of the time, the medicine to repel mosquitoes, snakes and ants had already been used.
It has failed.
"No wonder there are snakes..." Ye Kai nodded.
Although Nangong Jinghong placed the medicine, after the medicine expires, it will be difficult to prevent these mosquitoes, snakes and ants from getting in through the vents. In this case, you should be more careful when walking inside.
However, Ye Kai didn't take this matter to heart. He thought that as long as there was no giant python or something like that, he could handle it with just an engineer shovel.
However, Nangong Jinghong was older, and Ye Kai was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to cope with it, so Ye Kai asked, "Do you want to go back first and get some snake repellent medicine?"
Anyway, this treasure room is here, and with Ye Kai's men and horses guarding it, there is no need to worry about anything going wrong.
Then Nangong Jinghong was not willing to do this. He shook his head and said, "I only think about one thing now, which is to get the inheritance. As for a few small snakes, what can I stop?"
"That's right. When Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty revolted, he also killed the White Snake... Sir, you are still ambitious, I admire you..." Ye Kai laughed after hearing this, and the two of them continued to walk forward.
This passage goes up and down, hundreds of meters long, and looks like a war preparation tunnel.
The two walked for a few minutes and finally arrived at the place. There was a large iron door here, which was made of fine steel. Ye Kai looked around and couldn't find the switch.
"Knock down the little stone lion on the left." Nangong Jinghong said to Ye Kai.
Ye Kai followed his words and knocked down the little stone lion on the left, and saw something similar to a password disk on the base below. Although it had been decades apart, it was still shining, almost like a new one.
.
"There's oil on it..." Ye Kai touched it lightly with his hand and found a greasy feeling, "No wonder it's so well preserved."
"This is a common anti-corrosion method." Nangong Jinghong came over and pressed his fingers on it a few times. It seemed that he turned on some power switch again, and he heard the door made of fine steel slowly move to both sides.
Open.
Ye Kai took a closer look and saw that there were complicatedly designed guide rails under the gate, similar to train tracks, but there were some signs of rust on them. After all, it had been so many years, and it was still admirable that it could open automatically now.
The skills of these designers and manufacturers back then were indeed extraordinary.
He took another look and saw that the steel plate of the door was a composite type, layered layer by layer, with some other materials mixed in. It was estimated that this thing could even withstand a gun, and it was equivalent to the composite armor of a tank.
It's indeed a bit surprising.
Ye Kai estimated that even using armor-piercing bullets to deal with the gate would take a lot of effort.
When the door just opened, I felt a turbid air rushing out, filled with a gloomy and rotten atmosphere, which pushed the two people back one after another, covering their mouths and noses.
The space inside the gate is not small, estimated to be hundreds of square meters. At this time, the lights are on, and the blower is turning. Through the ventilation channel, the turbid air in the room is pumped out, and the fresh mountain air is replaced.
"Go in and take a look at our Nangong family's treasures..." Nangong Jinghong waved his cane and said to Ye Kai.
"That's what I wish for." Ye Kai nodded. To be honest, the Nangong family was extremely wealthy back then. Although they went overseas to avoid trouble and took a lot of things with them, because they had too much property, it was inevitable that they would have some things.
They all stayed. This treasure room contained the largest wealth of the Nangong family, which really made him full of curiosity.
As soon as Ye Kai walked in, he was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.
The first thing that appeared in front of him was a mountain of gold. It was an authentic mountain of gold, a mountain of gold built up with gold bricks. It looked like it should weigh hundreds of tons. From the marks on it, one could guess where they came from.
.
"Japanese gold bricks?!" Ye Kai asked in surprise.
If he hadn't seen the chrysanthemum brand on the gold bricks, Ye Kai would have never imagined where the Nangong family could get so many gold bricks of the same standard.
But after understanding the origin of these gold bricks, Ye Kai became even more confused. How did so many Japanese gold bricks fall into the hands of Nangong Jinghong?
"Before the Japanese were defeated, they collected a lot of wealth, especially gold and jewelry, etc., collected from various colonies and prepared to transport them back to the mainland. I happened to be a little-known person in the underground intelligence community. After learning this news, I naturally couldn't help but
Maybe I let them leave..." Nangong Jinghong explained with pride, "Later, because there were too many people eyeing this wealth, I didn't dare to let them show up, so I had to keep them here."
At that time, although Nangong Jinghong was also a hero, there were many people who could suppress him. For example, the local warlords had heavy troops and dared to obey even the words of the bald leader. How could they be afraid of the Nangong family?
?
If it weren't for the fact that the Nangong family has a hidden and unpredictable team of assassins, he would have been killed by many enemies long ago.
This sum of gold is indeed a huge wealth. As the saying goes, wealth touches people's hearts. Nangong Jinghong is worried that once this wealth is revealed, it will attract countless hungry wolves, so he has no choice but to leave these gold bricks on the mainland, plus he leaves the mainland
By that time, the situation had deteriorated, so there was no chance to do anything with the gold again, and it has been kept until now.
"Isn't this probably hundreds of tons?" Ye Kai was not an ignorant person. Although he was dazzled by the golden light at first, he quickly calmed down.
In terms of actual wealth, the money that Ye Kai can mobilize is much more than the gold mountain seen here, so after he roughly estimated the value of this gold mountain, he was not very surprised.
"A full one hundred and fifty tons of gold..." Nangong Jinghong thought that this golden mountain could conquer Ye Kai. At this time, seeing that he was actually fine, he couldn't help but marveled, thinking that Ye Kai was indeed different.
Wei Wei said, "I'll give this gold mountain to you. How about it as Nangong Yun's dowry?"
When Ye Kai heard this, he immediately lost his face and said with some depression, "If you give me such a golden mountain, it won't be counted on my own head."
The total gold reserves in the country are not much. This golden mountain is enough to drive countless people crazy. How could Ye Kai cover up the sky with one hand and take such a huge wealth for himself?
Even if this is a personal fortune, the senior management cannot allow this to happen and let it become Ye Kai's private property, so Nangong Jinghong's statement about gifting the gold mountain will definitely not be fulfilled.
"Haha." Nangong Jinghong laughed twice and continued walking forward with Ye Kai.
Along the way, we saw all kinds of rare treasures, including paintings and calligraphy by famous people. However, the preservation of these paintings and calligraphy is even more exquisite. They are basically sealed with metal cylinders and covered with paint.
The wax seal not only prevents rust, but also maintains moisture and humidity inside.
"The Nangong family is indeed extremely wealthy..." Ye Kai couldn't help but sigh after looking at these things. After all, the wealth accumulated through thousands of years of inheritance is really an astronomical figure. These are not like Ye Kai.
comparable to the nouveau riche.
If the Nangong family had not gone overseas to develop, their current influence in the entire country would have been very huge.
This also made Ye Kai realize another problem, that is, when the People's Republic of China was founded, all the major families were basically destroyed. However, after the reform and opening up, some of the original major families began to gradually return from overseas.
, the new family politics will probably take shape soon.
If the old Ye family cannot establish its own authority in both political and business circles as soon as possible, then in a few years, everyone will definitely disappear. This is a huge challenge.
The two people bypassed the hill made of piles of treasures and walked to an open space in the middle. There was a safe that was as tall as one person. It looked very heavy. This also indicated that it belonged to the Nangong family.
The inherited items should be kept in this safe.
"I hope it's not rusty." Nangong Jinghong said, and then began to fiddle with the knob on the safe.
After watching Nangong Jinghong fiddle with it for two minutes, the iron door of the safe finally opened with a click. Nangong Jinghong held the ring handle and slowly opened it, revealing the contents inside.
.
There were a lot of things inside, many of which were paper. They should be documents or contracts. Nangong Jinghong seemed to be dismissive of these things and put them aside casually.
Ye Kaixin opened one of them and found that it was the land deed from back then. Sure enough, these things had long been of no use. Dynasties had changed, and the foundation of private land had been abolished. These things that symbolized huge wealth back then
, now it’s all a pile of waste paper.
"That's it." Nangong Jinghong's voice came. When Ye Kai looked over, he saw that his hand was holding a rosewood box about a foot in diameter. (To be continued. Please
