Chapter 1869 Chi Guoguo's robbery
Four more excited cheers rang out in the stables, each louder and louder, and resounded throughout the castle.
Fortunately, the walls of this ancient castle are very high, and the distance is relatively far, so those guys who were stopped outside the first cordon did not hear this burst of excited cheers.
Otherwise, those guys will definitely get agitated, and may even storm the defensive line set up by the Lyon police.
With bursts of cheers, the other four boxes full of dirt were also opened by Ye Tian one by one, and the contents of the boxes were immediately presented in front of everyone.
Without exception, the four chests were filled with gold and silver treasures, with only slight differences.
Two of the chests were filled with a wide variety of gold objects of various ages, from the twelfth to the early eighteenth century.
And the art styles of the gold objects varied, from the Renaissance to the later Mannerism, to the Baroque, and so on, and each one was exceptionally beautiful and dazzling.
The origin of those gold objects varies, but most of them are gold pieces cast by the Bore family themselves, and they are engraved with the family's coat of arms, which are very easy to identify and can be recognized at a glance!
In addition, there are some gold objects from several other famous nobles around Lyon, as well as a small number of gold objects from the courts of various European countries such as France, Spain, and even the Holy Roman Empire, with corresponding coats of arms engraved on them.
Of course, there are also a lot of gold objects with strong religious overtones in these two boxes, also from different historical periods and different styles, and each one is quite exquisite.
In addition to these two chests, there is another chest that is also full of gold and silverware, but the gold and silver objects in this chest are much older.
Some of them came from the court of the Kingdom of Burgundy, some from the court of the Franks before the Middle Ages, some from the court of the Roman Empire, etc., and the shape is a little more quaint, but it is also dazzling!
If you arrange the gold and silver objects in these chests in chronological order, it is almost a complete reproduction of the history of this area of Lyon before the eighteenth century, and the gold and silver objects of different eras represent different rulers!
The last and smallest chest to be opened was filled with gold coins from different eras of history, as well as a large number of dazzling jewels and diamonds.
Some of those gold coins came from the Roman Empire, some from the Kingdom of Burgundy, and the Kingdom of the Franks, etc., and gold coins from all eras.
Among these glittering gold coins of different shapes, from different eras and kingdoms, there is no shortage of extremely rare and valuable antique gold coins.
The jeweled diamonds that are also in this box are even more dazzling, intoxicating, and of course, more valuable!
Among them are pure and deep sapphires, flame-like rubies, crystal clear diamonds, etc., some of which have been preliminarily cut, and some of which are still in their original state, with different sizes and colors!
But without exception, all of these jewellery diamonds are dazzling enough to drive everyone crazy.
After the greatest cheers and exclamations, the stable fell silent, except for the sound of rapid breathing.
Including Ye Tian, everyone in the stable was completely shocked by the huge amount of dazzling gold and silver treasures in front of them, and they were all stunned and directly stunned in place!
It can be seen that the eyes of each of them are flashing with excitement and even madness, and the eyes of several guys are already red, and they look quite scary.
After a long time, Ye Tian was the first to come to his senses, he quickly glanced at the scene, and then gently patted his palms.
"Bang Bang"
With crisp applause, the rest of the people were awakened.
In the next moment, the scene immediately boiled again, and the exclamations continued to sound one after another, and everyone still didn't seem to believe their eyes, and they couldn't believe what they had seen and experienced with their own eyes.
After nearly a minute, the scene gradually quieted down, and everyone's mood calmed down a little.
Immediately afterwards, Martinez couldn't wait to say:
"Steven, in addition to the inherent value of gold and jewellery diamonds, many of the gold objects and coins found here are antique artifacts of special significance, and many of them are of the highest quality.
If possible, I hope that everything found in this treasure will remain in France, where almost every antique artifact embodies a piece of French history!"
As soon as the words fell, the French Minister of Culture, the guy from the Elysee Palace, and the Archbishop of Lyon and several other French guys all echoed each other, trying to persuade Ye Tian to leave this treasure of incredible value.
Of all the Frenchmen at the scene, only the Count de Beauge did not speak, and at this time, he was in pain and happy, and his mood was extremely complicated!
And, of course, the two gardeners of the Alzhni Castle.
They had no right to speak, so they could only stand on the side, not saying a word, staring at the already blood-red eyes, staring at the gold and silver treasures that were close at hand!
Ye Tian glanced at everyone at the scene, and then said loudly with a smile:
"Gentlemen, be uneasy, it is too early to talk about these things, and I think it is imperative to talk about the distribution of these gold and silver treasures, and then talk about other things!"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for everyone at the scene to respond, Ye Tian had already looked at Count Boge and continued:
"Jacques, now you can be absolutely sure that this huge amount of gold and silver treasure has nothing to do with the treasures of the Knights Templar, they are indeed treasures buried by your ancestors.
Now the only people who have the right to share this treasure are you, the Boge family and our Brave Explorer, each of whom has a 50% interest in the supplementary agreement signed earlier.
How to divide these huge amounts of gold and silver treasures, based on past experience, I have come up with a very fair method, now I will tell you about it, and we can also discuss it again.
All the gold and silver treasures and antiques found here, I will give the most accurate valuation based on the current antique art market, and then divide the treasure into two.
Then it's a matter of choice, you Boge family can make the choice first, and the remaining half will naturally belong to our Brave Explorer Company, which is very fair.
If you are not at ease, you can also hire an antique art appraisal expert to appraise and then make an assignment, but I don't think it's necessary at all, I'm extremely confident in my eyesight!"
When the words fell, Count Beauge did not respond immediately, but fell into deep thought.
Martinez, who was standing next to him, and the other Frenchmen, scrambled to say as if they had been beaten with chicken blood:
"Steven, Jacques, the Louvre is the most famous museum of the century, there are the top museum personnel and antique art experts, we are willing to provide free services, as long as we can identify these antique artifacts!"
"There is also the French Ministry of Culture, Steven, Jacques, we, the French Ministry of Culture, as the department in charge of cultural relics, are required to participate in the identification of these antique cultural relics and record the relevant information!"
Ye Tian didn't pay attention to these French with evil intentions, but looked at Count Boge, waiting for him to make a decision.
After pondering for a while, Count Boge raised his head, looked at Ye Tian and said:
"Steven, I agree in principle with your plan for the distribution of treasures, your plan does sound very fair, and more importantly, your ability to identify antique works of art is well known and unsurpassed.
But I'm a Frenchman, I live and work here, and there are some things that have to be taken care of, so I also accepted Martinez's suggestion to have the relevant museum staff identify these antiques.
When the appraisal work is completed, let's divide the treasure according to the agreement, to be honest, the thought of being swept away half of the treasure by your greedy guy makes me extremely distressed, this is the robbery of Chiguoguo!"
"Hahaha"
There was laughter at the scene, and every voice was filled with endless envy.
When the laughter fell, Ye Tian immediately continued:
"Jacques, now that we have reached an agreement, the rest of the matter will be taken care of, and of course you can ask the experts of the Louvre and the French Ministry of Culture to come and appraise these gold and silver treasures and antiques.
The joint search for the Knights Templar's treasures will continue for a few more days, as long as the relevant identification work is completed before we leave Lyon, and before we leave Lyon, I have one more thing to do!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian bent down, picked out two gold coins from the smallest box on the ground, and then casually threw them to Derek and Tommy, one for each person.
Then he bent down again, picked out two different gold coins, and threw them to the two gardeners of the Château de Arzhni, one for each of them.
Seeing his movements, everyone at the scene couldn't help but feel very surprised and didn't understand what he meant.
And the Count of Beauge, who was standing next to him, his eyes turned red in an instant, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and his distressed facial muscles were twitching.
Derek and Tommy, as well as the two gardeners of Alzhni Castle, were overjoyed, and kept looking at the gold coins in their hands.
The reactions of everyone at the scene were all seen by Ye Tian.
He chuckled softly before he said aloud:
"This is my personal reward for Derek and Tommy's efforts in discovering the treasure and the hard work of digging it up with the other two guys.
Jacques, don't worry, these rewards are all counted in my account, and when all the antique artifacts are appraised and the treasures are divided, just deduct these four gold coins, and it will definitely not harm your interests!"
Hearing this, Count Boge couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he was helpless.
Steven, this damn bastard, you guy is generous, didn't you roast me on the fire, it's so unauthentic!
However, Ye Tianna doesn't care what he thinks, he continues to play the good show of horse bones in Qianjin City, and the performance is very exciting!
"Derek, Tommy, the irregular gold coin in your hands comes from the time of the First Kingdom of Burgundy in the fifth century AD, and is a gold coin ordered by King Gondioc, the founder of the Kingdom of Burgundy.
This kind of gold coin is extremely rare, there are only about thirty surviving coins, all of which are worth a lot of money, and as far as I know, the market value of that gold coin of the First Kingdom of Burgundy should be no less than 300,000 dollars.
In this box in front of you, there are only a dozen gold coins of this kind, and other gold coins that can be worth more than them can be said to be very few, estimated to be less than thirty, and these two gold coins are your rewards.
The other two fellows, the gold coin you are holding is a gold coin struck by the House of Savoy, from the mid-fourteenth century, and it is also very rare, worth about 120,000 dollars.
You can collect these rare gold coins yourself, or you can sell them for real wealth, and if you are ready to sell, the Louvre and the major museums of Lyon are good objects!"
Before the words were spoken, a burst of almost frantic cheers rang out in the stable, piercing through the sky!
