Geng Chaozhong looked up and saw that the plaque was about 3 meters high from the ground. There was no place around where he could draw strength. It was really troublesome to get up.
However, there are not no solutions. The key is whether the brand can bear its own weight.
After staring at the plaque carefully for a while, Geng Chaozhong suddenly thought that if those treasures were really placed on it, then the bearing capacity of this plaque must be not low. Otherwise, wouldn't he be afraid of the treasures falling?
After thinking about it, Geng Chaozhong turned to Wang Tianmu and smiled:
"Brother Tianmu, please make a ladder and set up a horse step."
Wang Tianmu looked up at the plaque, and then at Geng Chaozhong. He immediately understood what he meant, walked a few steps, found a position and squatted down.
Geng Chaozhong took a few steps back, all the way to the entrance of the side hall, which was seven or eight meters away from Wang Tianmu. Then he lowered his body, took a deep breath, lowered his head and stepped forward vigorously, placing his foot on Wang Tianmu's shoulder.
, the body rose up like a cloud and mist, waving one arm, and instantly grabbed the lower edge of the plaque!
Immediately afterwards, Geng Chaozhong's body was like an ape, pulling and leaping, and easily got behind the plaque. The old eunuch Jin next to him was stunned and couldn't help but clapped and shouted: "Okay!"
Wang Tianmu just smiled and said nothing. He had seen a lot of Xiao Geng's skills.
Geng Chaozhong got behind the plaque, and there was indeed a large baggage that was half a man long. He weighed it, and it was quite heavy. Judging from the shape of the baggage, there were not too many calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver, jade and other things inside. Geng Chaozhong didn't either.
Open it, pick up the baggage, jump down, and fall back to the ground.
"I got it!" A smile appeared on Wang Tianmu's face. Seeing Geng Chaozhong reaching out to unpack the bag, he quickly stopped him and said, "Take it back and talk about it later."
Geng Chaozhong nodded, picked up the baggage and walked out. Wang Tianmu grabbed it and said, "Are you going out like this?"
"What else? There is no airport in the Forbidden City." Geng Chaozhong was confused.
Wang Tianmu was speechless. Just as he was about to answer, the old eunuch Jin next to him suddenly spoke:
"How about walking under the palace wall?"
"Down there?" Wang Tianmu was stunned again.
"You two don't know anything. After the late emperor abdicated, those brats dug some dog holes under the palace wall and often got things out. Let's go there to be more secluded," Eunuch Jin replied.
Geng Chaozhong shook his head. The existence of burglary holes in the Forbidden City was not something that happened after Puyi abdicated. As early as after Cixi's death, there were already eunuchs doing these jobs. How could others hide it from him if they didn't know about it? Besides, he didn't know it.
I know. I guess those eunuchs outside have known it for a long time. Isn't this a cover-up?
Thinking of this, Geng Chaozhong suddenly glanced at the old eunuch Jin. When the old eunuch saw Geng Chaozhong's knife-like eyes, he couldn't help but trembled and said in a trembling voice: "This old slave is just giving me an opinion. Everything is still under the control of the two commanders."
Call the shots.”
Geng Chaozhong sneered, this damn eunuch had used the same tactics he used against the emperor on himself, but it was not like he was unprepared before he came.
"By the way, I have something unclear," Geng Chaozhong said suddenly, "Logically, if the old emperor abdicates, all cultural relics should be in charge of the Republic of China. Why are the things in the palace still in charge of these..."
Geng Chaozhong coughed slightly and said, "Eunuch, are you in charge?"
"Brother, you don't know something. Except for some of the eunuchs in the palace who followed Puyi to Tianjin, most of the rest stayed near the Forbidden City. These people cannot be killed or released. They stay here to guard the old belongings of the Forbidden City.
It can be considered that people are making the best use of them, otherwise it would be strange that the cultural relics would be left if it were not for those soldiers to take care of them!" Wang Tianmu said with a smile.
"That's it." Geng Chaozhong also smiled.
Indeed, the current situation of the Republic of China is strange. The soldiers are not as good as the bandits. When Sun Dianying guarded Dongling, wasn't he just guarding and stealing? In the final analysis, he was really not as safe as these eunuchs!
"How about we follow Old Eunuch Jin's advice and drill a dog hole?" Wang Tianmu said.
"Brother Tianmu, you are a wise man," Geng Chaozhong smiled, "I guess there are many eyes on us from the little eunuchs in the palace and the antique shops outside the palace gate."
"Then what are you going to do?" Wang Tianmu asked.
"Find a place and sell it!" Geng Chaozhong said with a smile.
........
Outside Hepingmen, Bona Zhai Antique Shop.
"Someone went in?"
A middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper asked the waiter standing next to him with a teacup in his hand.
"Yes, there are two people. They have been in for a while." The guy replied.
"Keep an eye on them and tell me if there is any movement. Also, find a few more people to watch the nearby dog holes and don't let them escape from there!" the shopkeeper continued to order.
"Okay!" The guy agreed alertly and walked out quickly.
As soon as the waiter left, a man suddenly came out of the inner room. This man was wearing a green silk robe, with thousand-layer soles on his feet, and holding a birdcage in his hand. He was dressed like a typical old Peiping playboy.
However, this suit of clothes had a particularly nondescript look on him, similar to the feeling of a nouveau riche who had just entered the city trying to imitate the nobles.
However, this person obviously did not have this kind of self-awareness. His cold face was actually a bit arrogant. After taking a look outside the door, he said:
"Shopkeeper Qiu, do you think there is a problem with these two people?"
"Reporting to Taijun, I think there is something wrong." Shopkeeper Qiu said with a flattering look on his face, "Logically, the goods have been shipped long ago, but after such a long time, there are still several companies of soldiers guarding the gate of the Forbidden City.
This is not normal! Even if Sun Dianying dug the Dongling Tomb, he would just run away after digging, and he would not lead troops to guard it after digging. Are you still afraid that the Forbidden City will grow wings and fly away?!"
"Well, according to what you said, there must be some treasures left in the Forbidden City." The Japanese man dressed as a playboy nodded, "Also, don't call me Taijun, call me Boss Tian."
"Okay, Taijun." As soon as he finished speaking, shopkeeper Qiu raised his hand and slapped himself in the face, and then said apologetically: "Boss Tian, I have sent people to keep an eye on them.
I'm very familiar with them and they can't run away."
"Don't worry, there are quite a few Chinese troops outside. Keep an eye on them. We'll take action after we get out of the palace." Boss Tian's dark face had a cold light in his small eyes.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and the waiter who had just gone out suddenly ran back again. He looked at Shopkeeper Qiu nervously and shouted:
"Shopkeeper, those two people are coming towards our store!"
"What?!" Shopkeeper Qiu was shocked and subconsciously glanced at "Boss Tian" next to him.
Boss Tian's expression was also very strange, but he couldn't allow the two of them to think too much at the moment. He waved his hand to signal Shopkeeper Qiu to act accordingly, and he quickly walked into the back hall.
The door was pushed open, and a young man and a middle-aged man came in carrying a big baggage. The waiter had a smile on his face, and just as he was about to step forward to greet the guests, he saw the young man raising his eyebrows and waving, and heard "
With a bang, a heavy punch hit the guy's chin. The guy's smile instantly froze and he fell to the ground.
The young man was Geng Chaozhong. He closed the store door and took out a gun from his pocket, smashed it on the table, looked at the stunned Boss Qiu and said:
"Boss, I have a few things for you to take a look at. You won't refuse, right?"
"I won't refuse, I won't refuse." Shopkeeper Qiu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, his heart full of fear. Could it be that the scandal has happened?
Geng Chaozhong glanced at Shopkeeper Qiu coldly and put the baggage in his hand on the table. Wang Tian next to him also broke out in a cold sweat. If it breaks, where can I find a ready-made one?
"See for yourself!" Geng Chaozhong ordered the shopkeeper, then sat down on the chair, slowly playing with the pistol in his hand, occasionally glancing at shopkeeper Qiu's forehead, as if he was thinking about where to shoot better.
Shopkeeper Qiu wiped away the cold sweat again, and untied the bundle with trembling hands. There were many things in the bundle, including red, green, and green gold and silver threads, seven or eight boxes of various sizes; there were also more than a dozen calligraphy and painting scrolls, which were piled up all over the place.
Round table. Shopkeeper Qiu looked at this one and then that one. He was so confused that he didn't know which one to open first.
"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry here!" Geng Chaozhong urged impatiently.
Shopkeeper Qiu didn't dare to write any more ink, so he picked up a box and was about to open it when Geng Chaozhong's voice suddenly came to his ears: "Wait a minute!"
"I forgot to mention something," Geng Chaozhong played with the pistol slowly, "An expert told me that three of the items here are fake. If you get one wrong, I will chop off one of your fingers. If you get three wrong, I will chop off one of your fingers."
