Chapter 35 Development of the situation

 In the blink of an eye, the next day came, Lin Mo got up as usual, took a shower and went to class. Last night Gong Qiming had already told him about yesterday’s activities. After hearing this, Lin Mo felt that the effect should be very good, and suggested that the remaining

He took all the metal detectors to the market and let them flow out, but Gong Qiming did not agree and decided to keep two as spares before letting Lin Mo sell the others.

At this time, Lin Mo didn't know how big a sensation Gong Qiming and others' treasure-digging operation had made yesterday. Although they didn't dig as much as Lin Mo and others, people thought that there might be treasures buried in their houses.

, people’s enthusiasm was instantly ignited.

At this time, there was a hustle and bustle outside the school. People were talking about the treasure hunt reported today. Envy, jealousy, excitement, various emotions were revealed in the words, and the various aspects of the world were vividly displayed before people's eyes.

Everyone at the two newspapers had smiles on their faces. Last night everyone learned that the person who got the metal detector was willing to be reported by the newspapers, and the two newspapers decided to report the matter that night.

On the street at this time, the rumors spread by Xie Bangqing and others were also fermenting rapidly. On a table by the window on the second floor of a tavern on Zhongshan Road, two middle-aged men were sitting. The two were talking as if there was no one else around, their voices

The entire second floor could hear it, but unfortunately no one wanted to disturb the two of them, so they all listened with their ears raised.

Only one person was heard saying: "Brother Li, you have made a fortune now. I don't know how many dignitaries have lived in your big house. There must be a lot of treasures in it. When the time comes, I will dig it out and let me open my eyes."



The man who spoke was wearing a fur coat, and his face showed an arrogant and arrogant look as he spoke, making him look like a nouveau riche.

The other person was wearing a blue-grey coat, gold-rimmed glasses, and a plain face. I don’t know how the two came together.

Hearing the words of the upstart, a trace of dissatisfaction appeared on his face, and he said modestly: "Brother Liu is joking, how can such a good thing happen?"

After saying that, he changed the topic and said: "Brother Liu, I heard a rumor when I came here just now, saying that the treasure hunt was reported today. The other party was a reporter who went to find it in order to prevent others from suspecting that he had dug up the treasure of heaven.

"Brother, I just arrived in Nanjing today, so I don't know what to say about this heavenly treasure."

After hearing this, the nouveau riche man laughed loudly, slammed the table, and said loudly: "Brother Li really asked the right person about this matter. Others may not know, but I know this matter very well."

After hearing this, the bespectacled man suddenly became energetic and asked with interest: "Oh, Brother Li knows about this? I saw this news in the newspaper, but it was too general, and there were no details.

No, Brother Liu, can you tell me something?"

Hearing this, the upstart raised his eyebrows and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Li, I became interested when I saw this newspaper yesterday. I found a history researcher and asked him carefully. He

Tell me, when the Zeng brothers invaded Nanjing, they reported to the court that they had not captured a penny, but do you think this is possible?"

"At that time, the Taiping Army had almost collected all the gold and silver in the places they occupied. This was the south, and there were at least tens of millions of taels. So there are two theories. One is that all the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were stolen by Zeng.

They were seized by the Zeng brothers. Another theory is that some of them were embezzled by the Zeng brothers and their generals, and the rest were hidden by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom."

"But the former theory is not very reliable. If they were all greedy, how could there be no news about so much money? The second rumor is more reliable. At that time, there were indeed many subordinates of the two Zeng brothers who brought large sums of money.

The money returned home, but after all, there is only tens of millions of taels, so the other money is most likely hidden. Unfortunately, it has been seventy or eighty years since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and there are not many clues left."

The man with glasses took a breath and said, "Brother Liu, this is too much money. We won't be able to earn it in our lifetimes!"

After hearing this, the nouveau riche laughed and said: "Brother Li, what is this? The scholar also told me about another treasure, which is called one more."

After hearing this, the bespectacled man's eyes flashed and he said, "Brother Liu, please tell me, is there any treasure more valuable than this?"

When the nouveau riche man heard this, he opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Li, does he know Chuang Wang?"

The man with glasses shook his head and said he didn't know. After hearing this, the upstart man asked again: "What about Li Zicheng?"

The man with glasses still shook his head after hearing this. When the upstart man saw it, he suddenly became interested and said: "Brother Li, it seems that you need to know more about your family's history. Don't study abroad and stay here without knowing anything about your own family."

That’s it. This king of the Chuang Dynasty, Li Zicheng, was the one who destroyed the Ming Dynasty. When Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, and the Ming Dynasty was destroyed."

"Next, like many famous "nouveau riche" in history, Li Zicheng ordered his men to search for treasures in BJ City, digging deep into the ground, using every possible means. The looting operation lasted for more than 40 days, and a large number of palace treasures were plundered.

, sweeping away the gold and silver treasures in the treasury. It is said that the treasures collected at that time were loaded into six thousand carts! Documents record that there were 70 million taels of silver alone, not to mention countless gold and silver jewelry. Subsequently, Li Zicheng took

After these treasures left and the Qing army entered the customs, no matter how they searched, they could not find the whereabouts of these treasures."

When he heard the word "nouveau riche", a trace of contempt flashed in the bespectacled man's eyes, but when he heard that Li Zicheng had grabbed 70 million taels in just silver, a trace of shock flashed in the man's eyes.

He really didn't expect that Li Zicheng could grab so much money, and he was very confused and asked: "Brother Liu, are you kidding? At that time, the Ming Dynasty couldn't even pay the army's salary? How could it be possible?

Still have so much money?"

When the nouveau riche man heard this, he said with a mocking look on his face: "That's because the Yellow Emperor had no money, and it's not that the people of the Ming Dynasty didn't have any money. Besides, I didn't say that it was found from the treasury."

Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in the bespectacled man's eyes, and he said with a shocked face: "These money belong to the dignitaries in BJ City? How can there be so much?"

"Is this called too many? Think about how many officials there were in the world at that time, and how many of those officials were sent back to their hometowns?" The man with glasses was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He picked up the tea cup and looked out the window. His eyes flashed with joy for a moment.

There was a flash of disturbing color, no one knew what he was thinking.

The nouveau riche man saw the bespectacled man looking out the window, and stopped talking. Instead, he started drinking tea, but there was some confusion on his face. He was talking about the treasure, and he was obviously very interested just now. Why did he change his mood so quickly?

I felt depressed.

The other people in the tea house, after listening to the conversation between the two, felt very satisfied and their faces were full of joy. However, there were also a few people who had different expressions on their faces and started talking in low voices.

On the other side, Wang Shoufei and others were already using detectors to look for treasures in a wealthy family's house. Lu Xiaoying and his assistant were also with a few people today. On one side were the owners and housekeepers of the wealthy family, and even the female relatives of the family.

I came out to watch the treasure hunt, but I watched quietly from the sidelines, pointing and pointing from time to time.

As for Lu Xiaoying, the owner did not allow him to come in originally, but when Wang Shoufei pulled the family aside and talked about the rumors on the street, the owner immediately changed his attitude and invited Lu Xiaoying in. At this time, Lu Xiaoying was with Wang Shoufei and several others.

Watching from the side.

This morning, Lu Xiaoying called the grocery store and said that she would follow Wang Shoufei and others to report today. Wang Shoufei thought of the identity of the reporter and the rumors he heard in the morning, so he had to agree and wait in the courtyard for Lu Xiaoying to arrive before setting off. He didn’t know whether

Lu Xiaoying's good luck was due to the reports in the past few days. When Wang Shoufei and others asked the first house that they heard that they had a metal detector, the owner readily accepted it and enthusiastically let them come in to help dig for treasures.

At this time, in Qingma Alley, Ito Tetsuro and Qiuyue Haruko gathered together again, but at this time, the few people no longer had the joy of yesterday, and there was a trace of worry on their faces. Several people were sitting at the table.

, silent.

"Let's talk about it, what should we do? Mr. Yamaguchi has just made it very clear what he found out. Due to the appearance of those military school students, there are already people going to the place where we drew the map to hunt for treasure. What should we do to complete it?

Mission?" Tetsuro Ito was the first to speak and broke the silence. It turned out that Tetsuro Ito asked Yamaguchi to go to the ancient forest ruins today to inquire about the news and see the situation. Can he and others continue to act?

Unexpectedly, the situation went beyond the expectations of several people. Due to the extensive reports in the newspapers in the past two days, not only the treasure hunt in the house attracted everyone's attention, but the so-called heavenly treasure also attracted a lot of people's attention. Many people were already thinking about it.

They got rich overnight and went to the area where they were scouting and mapping to dig for treasure. Their mapping plan came to nothing again.

Thinking of this matter, Ito Tetsuro also hated Lin Mo in his heart. If it weren't for Lin Mo, he wouldn't be in such trouble. He doesn't know how long he will have to serve Qiuyue Haruko.

"Ito-kun, please think of a way to see if this matter can be solved. Don't worry, I will repay you when I go back." Qiuyue Haruko was also overwhelmed by this sudden change. She was already at a loss.

I had no experience, and this time I saw that the task was not dangerous and the credit was great, so I came to transfer the money through some connections. However, I did not expect such an unexpected incident, so I had no choice but to ask Ito Tetsuro for help.

Ito Tetsuro came back to his senses when he heard Akizuki Haruko's words. After listening to Akizuki Haruko's words, he felt a little more comfortable. Ito Tetsuro thought about it carefully and said: "There is a way, but it is a bit difficult to implement." After finishing speaking, Ito Tetsuro thought about it carefully.

, looked at Qiuyue Haruko.

Hearing this, Qiuyue Haruko quickly asked: "Ito-kun, if you have any plans, just tell me, I can help you solve the difficulties."

After hearing Qiuyue Haruko's promise, Ito Tetsuro immediately relaxed, and a trace of greed flashed deep in his eyes, but it was deeply hidden by Ito Tetsuro.

Ito Tetsuro said: "Miss Qiuyue, this incident is also an opportunity for us."

When Qiuyue Haruko heard this, she was a little confused. This matter had obviously ruined her plan, so how could it become an opportunity now? However, thinking that she needed Tetsuro Ito's help, she could only ask patiently: "Ito-kun, I don't know this.

How to say it?"

Upon hearing the inquiry, Ito Tetsuro patiently explained: "Miss Qiuyue, think about it, we originally went for surveying and mapping under the banner of exploring the road. There are loopholes in this matter. If the road is not built after the surveying and mapping is completed, it may be

Some people are suspicious. But now we have a cover, which is to use road construction scouts to cover up the drawing. We pretend to be secretly treasure hunters during the road construction scouts, so that we can easily cover it up."

"Ito-kun, this plan is very good. I never thought it could be done like this. The Chinese government will definitely not notice it." Akizuki Haruko's face was full of joy, and she did not hide her praise for Ito Tetsuro.

Seeing that Qiuyue Haruko was so excited, Ito Tetsuro didn't know whether his plan should be implemented. After hesitating for a while, he said: "Miss Qiuyue, this plan is very good, but it may affect my job selection."

Hearing this, Qiuyue Haruko was a little unhappy, frowned and asked: "I wonder what impact it will have on Ito-kun?"

After hearing this, Ito Tetsuro immediately said: "Miss Qiuyue, you also know that my property in Nanjing is very big, but I have no background. Most of the time, I rely on the help of those who instigated rebellion, but most of them are

Some unwilling personnel don't have much power in their hands, and they can barely block the greed of others. If we implement this plan, they may use this as an excuse to swallow up the achievements I have made for the empire. In this way

My efforts will be reduced to ashes."

After hearing this, thinking of what Ito Tetsuro said just now, Qiuyue Haruko was not a fool and asked: "Then I don't know what Ito-kun needs me to do?"

After hearing this, Ito Tetsuro quickly said: "Miss Qiuyue, I need your help to apply for a fund from the headquarters and use it for management. Moreover, this is also an opportunity. I plan to take this opportunity to find a backstage person to help me in Nanjing."

Work is protected."

Qiuyue Haruko listened, thought carefully, and nodded gently. Ito Tetsurou saw it and smiled on his face.
