Lei Zi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at the others in panic: "Isn't this too much?"
"You don't think you have too much money?" Xiao Ning pushed Lei Zi: "Why don't you just pretend?"
"Yes, yes." Lei Zi spat on the ground and grabbed the jade and agate underneath. Bai Yi shouted: "Wait!"
He took the piece of jade in Lei Zi's hand: "The craftsmanship and style of these jade are very similar to those buried with Empress Dowager Cixi. Are these things from the period of Empress Dowager Cixi?"
Cixi is the most famous "extravagant" empress dowager in Chinese history. She loved pearls, agate and many other oriental treasures throughout her life. She was also a veritable "emerald maniac". She spent her life searching for the best products from all over the world. Among her 700 burial objects, there are
There are 27 emerald Buddhas, 2 emerald watermelons, and 2 world-famous emerald cabbages, which are priceless.
A foreign envoy once came to Cixi and presented her with a huge diamond. Cixi only glanced at it with the corner of her eyes, and then slowly waved the solid gold nail cover on her little finger. She didn't care about the shining foreign diamonds.
Having said that, the eunuchs of the dynasty knew Cixi's preferences very well and brought high-quality jadeite from the people as tribute. Cixi was indeed rewarded greatly. Empress Dowager Cixi was also a well-deserved "pearl mad". According to historical records, she once owned nearly
There are 10,000 pearls of different sizes. Among the funerary objects, the golden bead covering her body was inlaid with 12,104 pearls. The beads hanging around her neck were strung with 5,920 pearls. Other bead mirrors, court beads and large and small beads on the quilt were
There are countless pearls, which shows that Empress Dowager Cixi really loves pearls.
It is a pity that Cixi lived a glorious life and was buried richly after her death. However, her mausoleum was publicly stolen, and it was even rumored that her kind body was ravaged by soldiers. It really did not end well!!
Bai Yi was still holding the piece of jade in a daze, but Lei Zi couldn't wait any longer and took it over: "Okay, have you finished reading it?"
"Empress Dowager Cixi!" Bai Yi blurted out, and at the same time put the piece of jade into Lei Zi's hand.
"What does this have to do with Empress Dowager Cixi?" Tang Sancheng didn't understand.
"Although these female officials are below the sixth rank, they are not allowed to leave the palace together casually." Bai Yi said: "This reminds me of one thing - Cixi's journey to the west! The Gengzi Incident, the Eight-Power Allied Forces occupied Beijing,
Cixi took Manchuria to the west to escape the war. Many things happened during the escape. Cixi was a fickle person, sometimes sinister and vicious, and suddenly considerate, which confused the monarchs, ministers and those who served her.
I don’t know what to do, but this is the place where Cixi must pass on her westward journey.”
Qixie nodded: "Yes, it is entirely possible that these people are the palace maids who followed Cixi on her westward journey. As for this person..."
Qixie was looking at the mummy on the stone chair. Bai Yi said: "This man's pelvis is underdeveloped, and his finger bones are much thicker than those we just found. He is obviously an older man.
It is more likely that these gems and emeralds are his private collection."
"So, what about those female officials and maids? Why did they die here?" Xiao Ning was still worried about those female officials and maids.
"To lighten the burden." Bai Yi said: "The process of traveling westward is under the guise of hunting in the west, but in fact, in order to escape, the more people there are, the slower the journey will be, and there will be more things to do. According to Cixi's style,
, it is reasonable to deal with a group of people, these are lower-level female officials and maids, and they are also in line with the target."
"It's really abominable. With so many lives, they are just children." Xiao Ning was furious: "She deserves to have her grave dug up. She has done so many evil things during her lifetime."
Lei Zi had already packed up all the weapons and put them in everyone's backpack to lighten the load. Seeing that everyone was still guessing, he interrupted everyone and said: "Hurry up, it will be too bright at dawn."
Yes, and, looking for Tai Sui, why are you still hanging around here?"
The words woke up the dreamer. Bai Yi thought to himself that since they were dug here to celebrate Tai Sui, the quality of the soil here would be affected to some extent. He walked to the edge and patted the walls. Some walls were tight, and some were tight.
One side was a little loose. Bai Yi turned around and called Xiao Ning over. Needless to say, Xiao Ning had already understood and started digging with a hand shovel. When the digging was almost done, Xiao Ning's expression became excited and her hands had already touched the ground.
When the meaty things arrived, she turned back and glanced at Bai Yi: "Bai Yi, come here and see if there is Tai Sui in this?"
There was a dark thing embedded in the mud. Bai Yi glanced at it and nodded: "That's right, Xiao Ning, keep digging as fast as you can. Thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Ning didn't say anything, and turned on the engine with full power. As the mud fell, the Tai Sui inside was exposed little by little, but at the same time, the mud on top suddenly fell downwards. Xiao Ning knew that this was his
The excavation caused the already weak wall to collapse. It had been dug here before. Xiao Ning took a deep breath and suddenly stuck his shovel in the mud. He turned around and called Xiaoshan. Xiaoshan rushed over quickly and with a flick of his finger
Shrinking, he took out the piece of Tai Sui in a daze. As soon as the stone in Bai Yi's heart fell to the ground, the earth wall collapsed. Fortunately, Xiaoshan's eyes were quick and his hands were quick. Then Xiao Ning stepped back, but unfortunately the shovel was buried in the
In the soil.
At this time, it was impossible to take back the shovel. Survival was crucial. Bai Yi shouted "Run", and everyone ran as fast as they could along the way they came. Until they ran into the robbery cave, the shaking behind them was still there.
The mud continued to fall down, mixed with some gravel, and fell like bullets, hitting everyone on the back. Although it hurt, everyone did not dare to stop at all, and the wind from outside came in.
, the wind was very cold, the moon had changed direction, and it was still dark. Bai Yi was the first to poke his head out. As soon as he poked his head out, Tang Sancheng behind him shouted: "Be careful!"
Bai Yi saw a shadow rushing over his head. He dodged and kicked the shadow. He heard a "boom" sound and the sound sounded like a shovel. In the moonlight, Bai Yi saw
The person holding the shovel is clear - the big fat man! It's strange, why is he here? Shouldn't he be asleep?
The big fat man didn't come alone. His raid was unsuccessful, so he immediately shouted to the brothers behind him: "It's better to hit the sun at the right time. Brothers, start moving and bury them alive!"
Bai Yi sneered, just a few market scoundrels, want to fight with me? Tang Sancheng below also climbed out immediately. There was a quick one who had already shoveled a shovel of soil and threw it down under the thief's hole. Bai Yi
Yi was so angry that he took out the flying knife and threw it, hitting the back of the man's hand. The man screamed in fright, and the people around him were also frightened. This is the real-life version of Xiao Li's flying knife.
, every throw is accurate, the big fat man came forward to take a look, and immediately cursed: "You bastard, you are too cowardly, this is the back of the knife!"
Bai Yi sneered: "This time it's the back of the knife. I won't show mercy next time. Why don't you get out?"
The big fat man's heart skipped a beat, and he hit Bai Yi with a shovel. Bai Yi sighed, and killed a stupid pig out of thin air. It really ruined the scenery. The joy of finding Tai Sui was even less. The big fat man killed Bai Yi.
In front of him, he suddenly stopped, because...the black gun muzzle was pointed at his forehead. The big fat man was so frightened that he could not speak. It was over. Today he bumped into a hard master...
Besides, at this moment, everyone else who was still in the bandit cave came up. Xiao Shan and Qi Xie swept two of them away, and knocked them to the ground in twos and threes. Xiao Shan even sat down among them.
On one person's back, he pressed down with mission: "Let you do bad things, let you do bad things!"
The man took a mouthful of dirt and desperately begged for mercy: "I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore!!"
Everyone else stared at the big fat man: "Fat brother, just be subdued, what he got is a real thing!"
