What made Yu Fei feel nervous was a small tin can. To be precise, it was an empty can. Although the tin can was rusty and seemed to have been there for a long time, it should not be the Shogunate's in any case.
There should be something in the period. That is to say, no matter whether this is the place where the golden treasure is hidden or not, someone has already arrived at this place first. Even if there really was a golden treasure, it must have been moved away. I am afraid that my hard work on this trip is
All in vain.
This conclusion made Yu Fei feel very depressed. He thought that with the help of the Chaos Qi, he would be the first to discover this place. It turned out that he was just following other people's butts. It seems that in this world
There are so many experts. I relied on the energy of chaos to discover this cave under unexpected circumstances. How did that person who came earlier than me discover this cave?
Yu Fei never imagined how attractive 4 million taels of gold would be to people. Many people actually searched the entire Chicheng Mountain. How could this cave, which was only more than ten meters away from the cave, not be discovered?
But now that we're here, let's just go to the end. Maybe the gold hasn't been shipped out yet, and maybe there are still a few gold coins left in some nooks and crannies. It's hard to come here, but you still have to have one.
What a harvest. At this point, Yu Fei can only comfort himself in this way.
After walking down for more than a hundred meters, he reached the end. The cave suddenly opened up, and what appeared in front of him was a stone room of fifty or sixty square meters, with some stone tables and chairs inside and on the surrounding walls.
Several small holes were dug out, and it seems that lighting tools such as candles or oil lamps were once placed inside.
This is most likely the place where the gold treasure was originally hidden, but now it is empty. There is not even a shadow of gold coins. The stone chamber is not big, and it is impossible to hide anything.
It seems that he is still a step late, Yu Fei thought in frustration. Who is this person who dug up the treasure first? There is no news at all, but Yu Fei also understands that if he finds the treasure, he will not publicize it.
, otherwise it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. Making a fortune silently is the right way
After a while, Yu Fei didn't give up and carefully knocked on the wall again. He wanted to see if there would be any mezzanine or darkroom. But he was quickly disappointed. There was no darkroom in the entire stone room.
Yu Fei finally accepted the fact that all the gold treasures had disappeared. But then he thought about it, what if he really found a huge amount of four million taels of gold in the stone room?
There is no way to transport the gold out of here. Even if I transport all the gold out like ants moving, then there are four million taels of gold. That is not four taels or forty taels. How can I transport it down the mountain?
How will it be shipped out of Japan in the end? If these problems cannot be solved, then I will only feel even more sad when looking at the golden treasure. Apart from regret, everything else is fine now.
When Yu Fei was about to use the energy of chaos for the last detection, he discovered an abnormality.
On the mountain wall on the right side of the stone chamber, there is a hollow that is 20 to 30 centimeters square. The outside is sealed with stones. Because it is located relatively high, Yu Fei did not detect it when he knocked and detected it just now.
This discovery made Yu Fei energetic. He walked over with a flashlight and carefully touched the stone sealing the cavity. He found that there were indeed gaps on the surface, but in such a dark environment, such small gaps were impossible.
Then no one would notice what was contained here. Yu Fei did not dare to open it rashly, but first guided the energy of chaos to detect it, and found that there was a small book sealed in a metal box.
There is nothing else.
Yu Fei took out the dagger, inserted it into the crack of the stone little by little, and pried it carefully. He was afraid that if he used too much force, the dagger would be broken. Fortunately, Xiao Nippon's knives were pretty good.
With a bang, the stone sealing the outside fell down.
Yu Fei held the flashlight with his neck and took out the metal box with both hands. The box was relatively heavy and seemed to be made of pure gold.
Sure enough, under the beam of the flashlight, the box gave off the unique light of gold. I didn't expect that a storage box was actually made of gold. This is too luxurious.
Fortunately, the box was not locked, otherwise Yu Fei would have had no choice but to smash the lock with rocks and burn the harp and boil the crane.
Opening the box, there was a book wrapped in oil paper. Although it had been many years, it was well preserved with no trace of decay or damage.
In such a suspected gold treasure hiding place, the legendary gold of more than four million taels was not found, but such a small book was found. What is recorded in it? Is it related to the gold treasure?
Because the paper was relatively brittle, Yu Fei did not dare to use too much force, and carefully turned over the yellowed pages. The text inside was all in Japanese. However, thanks to the tutoring during this period, although there were some rare words, but based on the context, Yu Fei also
I can guess what it means. The content of the text is indeed related to the golden treasure.
On January 14, the first year of Wanyan, we entered Chicheng Mountain. All the nearby mountain residents had been expelled, and the entire mountain was deserted with no human traces. The deathly tranquility in the mountain, the footsteps and breathing of death row prisoners, seemed so harsh.
Mr. Lin said that he had found an ideal treasure hiding place. I also went to see it. It was a cave on a cliff. The location was very secret, but it was very difficult to transport the gold up there. Let’s repair the road first. From
Starting today, the death row prisoners began to repair the road to the cave on the mountain.
On January 29, the second batch of 30 death row prisoners were brought up to supplement the death row prisoners who had stumbled and fell to death while building the mountain road in the past few days. The general also came in person. His face was not very good. Outside
The situation is getting more and more tense. These damn rebels, I really want to go into battle and kill them all. But the general said that things here are more important. Whether the country can continue to exist depends on this batch of gold. Akagi Shanyi
It is the best place to hide treasures because it is difficult to defend. However, I thought that the reason why Chicheng Mountain is safe is because it is where we station heavy troops. If we lose control of the entire country, then even if Chicheng Mountain is
No matter how easy it is to defend and difficult to attack, it will fall into the enemy's hands. But seeing the general's gray and tired face, I did not say these words.
On February 23, another 240,000 taels of gold and some gold ornaments were shipped from Gokinzo. Adding the original gold shipped from Edo, the total amount of gold exceeded 4 million taels.
It's an astronomical sum. However, the current situation is becoming more and more tense. Often some rebels rush to Edo and later renamed Tokyo during the Meiji period. The author notes that the streets are causing trouble and even the army is unstable.
, this is a very dangerous signal and I must alert the general.
On March 3rd, the general was assassinated by these bloody rebels. He actually did such a thing. Almighty Amaterasu, please bless the general. I was going to rush back to Edo, but the general sent me.
Messenger, please tell me that no matter what happens, we must do a good job in hiding the gold. This is our strategic reserve. General, please rest assured that Xiaosu will do a good job in this matter and live up to the general's trust.
On March 5th, the general died. What should I do and what should the country do? The head of Lin University came to see me. He had just received the news and seemed very hesitant. No, I can't show weakness. The general's words before his death
I must complete this important task. General, please walk slowly. Xiaosu will come to find you after finishing all this.
It seems that this should be Kosu Uenosuke's treasure-hiding note. After Ii Naomi was assassinated, Kosu Uenosuke and the two heads of Hayashi University continued to complete the treasure hiding. Judging from the description of the notes, Kosu Uenokai was very interested in Ii.
Zhibi is very loyal, and should be the supreme commander of the gold hiding plan. The legendary four million taels of gold really exist, but where has the gold gone? This notebook is very likely to record four million taels of gold.
The whereabouts of the two pieces of gold. To be continued...
