These boxes in the tomb are the same as Du Fei guessed before.
As expected, the boxes were filled with silver coins, not just ‘Zhanren’, but also ‘Yingyang’, ‘Yuan Datou’, ‘Qing Silver Coins’…
After counting, only the two ear chambers and the middle chamber were cleared out, and there were more than 400 boxes, totaling nearly 5 million.
And these are less than one-third compared to the boxes in the back room.
In other words, if the boxes in the back room are also filled with silver coins, the total number of silver coins hidden here will exceed 16 million!
Even reaching 18 million!
However, just as the engineer battalion was preparing to continue clearing the silver coins from the back room.
However, the third company commander Yang Xiucheng trotted over, saluted in front of Gong Yong, and shouted "Report"! .??.??
At this time Du Fei and Gong Yong were standing together.
Needless to say, the efficiency of the engineering battalion is quite high!
A simple passage was built overnight to transport the silver coins from the tomb chamber, then transport them to trucks down the mountain and transport them back to the city in batches.
It was only a little after midnight, and nearly a third of it was completed.
If we follow this progress, it is estimated that the task will be completed by dawn tomorrow.
But at this moment Yang Xiucheng arrived, causing Gong Yong to frown and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
Yang Xiucheng's identity is somewhat special. He is a university graduate who studied civil engineering and is a technical talent that is focused on cultivating in the army.
So Yang Xiucheng came and gave Gong Yong a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Yang Xiucheng reported, "Comrade Battalion Commander, there is something going on down there. I think we should stop for a while."
Gong Yong frowned, "What's going on?"
Although he was reluctant to do so, he could not and did not dare to turn a deaf ear to Yang Xiucheng's words.
Because historical experience and lessons tell him that if you don’t listen to Comrade Xiucheng, big trouble will occur!
Yang Xiucheng looked at Du Fei beside him, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Batalion Commander, the bottom of this tomb seems to be empty." !”
Du Fei and Gong Yong were both surprised, even a little unbelievable.
Yang Xiucheng added, "Based on the current situation, the weight of the back room is too great and the geological conditions are very unstable. I'm afraid..."
He didn't say what he was afraid of, but even a fool could understand that he was afraid of landslides.
Gong Yong did not dare to neglect and asked quickly, "Then what do you think we should do?"
Yang Xiucheng said, "Get everyone out immediately. Just leave one class homework. Be careful to handle it with care."
In fact, he didn't say that it was best to stop immediately and get everyone out.
But Yang Xiucheng is not stupid. He knows how important the task tonight is. A little delay may not matter, but he must not stop.
Gong Yong hesitated for a moment, but for the safety of the soldiers, he nodded resolutely.
Du Fei interrupted, "Comrade, you said it's empty down there?"
Yang Xiucheng nodded and straightened his back subconsciously.
He thought Du Fei disagreed with his views and wanted to challenge his authority, but this was his profession and he had absolute confidence.
Du Fei was not interested in arguing with him, he was concerned about another issue.
Then he asked, "Do you think the bottom part was eroded by running water, or was it originally built like this?"
Yang Xiucheng soon revealed it and said in a deep voice, "This... you mean, there is a second floor below the back room?"
Du Fei nodded.
It was also what Yang Xiucheng said just now that reminded him.
Why is there only silver coins in this tomb and no other rare treasures?
It would make sense if there was a secret room under the back room where all other kinds of treasures were!
And Du Fei has always had a suspicion in his heart.
Confused.
What is the use of collecting so many Qingwangfu’s waistbands before?
And this time, Bang Bang'er found the gold medal from the corpse.
Various previous clues can prove that these waist badges of Prince Qing's Mansion have a certain meaning and are the key to finding the treasure of Prince Qing.
But up to now, the tomb has been half emptied, but those badges have not been used from beginning to end.
If there is a secret room here, and the switch to enter the secret room is the waist card of these princes, wouldn't it be very reasonable?
However, these speculations are somewhat taken for granted.
And because he came in such a hurry this time, he only brought Xiaohong, not his subordinates.
If you want to use Xiaohong to recruit a new rat army nearby, the time will not be too short.
Since he couldn't count on it, Du Fei simply told him directly to see if Gong Yong and his engineering battalion could find the entrance to the secret room below.
After listening to Du Fei's words, Yang Xiucheng frowned and thought for a while and said, "This possibility is also very high, but the top priority now is to evacuate most of the people. It will not be too late to discuss this after the boxes are emptied."
Du Fei said "Yeah" and said nothing more.
Anyway, he has said everything that needs to be said.
Du Fei followed the engineers who were withdrawn from inside and returned to the ground.
At this time, there was only one platoon of soldiers left below, and the efficiency of transportation was obviously reduced.
Until the next morning, half of the boxes in the back room had not been cleared out.
And the further you get to the back, the harder it gets.
Because the back room had been flooded, many of the boxes below were simply crushed, and all the silver coins inside were scattered out.
The engineer had no choice but to use a shovel to shovel the large pile of silver coins into the soil basket, and then use a pole to carry it out.
This time the efficiency is even lower. But as a large amount of silver coins were moved out, the danger of the back room collapsing was basically eliminated.
After dawn, Gong Yong added another platoon of people and went immediately, trying to transfer all the silver coins out before noon.
At the same time, Yang Xiucheng was writing and drawing inside.
In his notebook, he had drawn a three-dimensional view of the entire tomb and marked several places in the back and middle chambers.
Du Fei had seen it, and Yang Xiucheng thought it might be the entrance to the lower level.
Although he didn't know who built this tomb.
But in terms of building structure alone, these places are the most economical.
Du Fei didn't take it seriously after reading it.
Yang Xiucheng's professional skills are certainly no problem, but he has no basic understanding of a wealthy family like Prince Qing who comes from a noble family.
Prince Qing’s lineage, whether it’s Yi Kuang or Zai Zhen.
When did they need to consider being ‘economical’ when doing things?
Sure enough, after the last batch of silver coins was shipped out.
Following Yang Xiucheng's instructions, the soldiers of the engineering battalion began to look for the entrance to the next level.
As expected, after trying three points in a row, they were all dead after digging.
This made Yang Xiucheng suspicious. Could it be that he guessed wrong?
There is no second floor below at all. Is it just that the mountain has been hollowed out by years of flash floods?
Yang Xiucheng expressed his thoughts.
Gong Yong looked at Du Fei and asked, "Comrade Du Fei, what do you think?"
Before he came, his superiors ordered him to report to Du Fei.
It was equivalent to temporarily handing over their command to Du Fei. Although Du Fei did not exercise his power, it did not mean that Gong Yong could ignore his opinions.
(I have something urgent to do today, so updating the word count will have some impact, so I’ll try to make it up tonight or tomorrow)
