Volume VIII 1276 Xiao Letian's private money

Next chapter

The fire was removed, and black smoke was still billowing out of the tunnel, and it was a quarter of an hour before the bold soldier covered his mouth and nose with wet handkerchiefs and walked cautiously inside.

The dim horse lights reflected on the dark rock face, and the wet rock wall was dripping water droplets, and the whole tunnel was extremely silent.

The soldier could only hear his own heavy breathing, and the popping of his heart beating wildly in fear of danger. Stepping over the body of the Russian soldier who had just been killed, and walking more than ten meters further, he finally found a marine wearing a blue military uniform who had passed out on the ground.

"An enemy was found here, unconscious, not dead...... Come and drag two people out!"

The explorer continued to walk, and after another forty or fifty meters, he suddenly found a man in a black satin coat leaning against the wall, looking at him weakly, and the man had a melon grenade in his hand.

"Oh, God!" the soldier pounced on the grenade's wrist and was relieved to see that the trigger had not yet been turned on.

"I found another live mouth, it seemed to be a bank staff, and two people came in and dragged it out......"

The door of the vault finally revealed its true face, the ebony iron hoop gate with a height of more than one person and a width of more than one meter, and the key was still hung on the lock above, it seems that this **** person wants to stick to it here for a long time, and treat this place as a temporary home.

Pull open the door to the vault "Oh my God, my God! my God...... My heart!" the explorer visibly felt his blood pressure soar and his heart pounding, he had never seen so much wealth in his life.

The vault is very large and has more than 120 square meters, which is a treasure cave excavated and expanded from the natural cave in the mountain, and more than ten kerosene lanterns are hung around the cave, and the dim light gives the vault a layer of hazy beauty.

Leaning against the rock wall around are large and small wooden boxes, looking at the length, width, height and thickness should be a variety of paintings and sculptures storage wooden boxes, the soldier in the hand of the sapper shovel pry open a large wooden box, inside a bronze cast ancient Greek head exposed.

"Wow, this is a sculpture, isn't it valuable......

Behind the soldier, the voice of Molière knight suddenly sounded: "The bronze statue of the heyday of ancient Greece, do you say it is worth anything? Maybe your brain can't understand something so far away, I can describe it from another angle, when this statue was cast, it was not as good as you Russia!"

"Even ...... This statue appeared at a time when there was not even a god!"

The soldier turned around and snapped a military salute, he couldn't imagine what the world was like without God, but he knew that there was no need for these big men to lie to themselves, because a lowly serf like himself was not worth being deceived.

Behind Molière came the commander and the red-haired major, plus more than a dozen guards of the Arch Guard, each of whom carried a kerosene lamp in his hand, and the treasure house was even brighter.

"Oh, God bless me!" Stefansky desperately drew a cross on his chest, and he looked at the quaint bronze human head as if he was holding the root of his life.

The treasure trove that Ali had walked into might have been nothing more than that, surrounded by sealed Western paintings and sculptures, and on an iron shelf in the corner, filled with shiny white silver ingots, each ten kilograms, with the minting time of the Ryukyu Mint and a profile portrait of Xiao Letian.

A closer look at the date shows that the most recent silver ingot is actually a week ago, which shows that this treasure trove belongs to the kind that is often used.

Red coral, hawksbill turtles, rhinoceros horns, ivory, and the gems of the Lion Kingdom of Sri Lanka are placed in a messy and orderly corner, and in the middle of the vault is a mountain of gold, and the mahogany chests on the steel storage shelves are locked with locks.

When you open a box, you can see that it's a gold coin! If you open it again, it's China's horseshoe gold! If you open it again, you can see that it's a newly minted gold ingot!

Each chest opened the gold inside the cave to increase the brightness of the cave by a large margin, and by the time the ten chests were opened, the entire cave was already full of gold and brilliance.

Molière pinched a few gold coins and looked at him by himself, and suddenly said, "This is not an ordinary vault, most of the vaults here are cultural relics, this should be Xiao Letian's private treasury!

Stefansky nodded, knowing very well that no one would be stupid enough to use gold coins for cultural relics in the big international trade, and these coins should be kept by collectors.

Xiao Lotian is a collector, that's why he has so many gold coins, and so many gold coins Xiao Lotian can't be counted as funds in the Chinese treasury, and the cultural relics should be his own, so this is Xiao Letian's private money, all of which are private money!

That's right, at this moment in the Pacific Ocean in the south, the Zhiyuan in the Miyako Strait is heading north at high speed, and Xiao Letian, who is in the command cabin, has a distorted face like constipation, and his mouth is chattering.

"I've gambled my own private money, I beg you to be sure......! Woowoo...... My Roman gold coins, my Byzantine silver coins, my paintings, my statues, my treasures, oh ......."

Xiao Letian was about to cry out as distressed as a resentful woman, it was really not easy to save those treasures, and he had made a lot of money in order to let the Russians take the bait.

At this moment, Stefansky was already stupid, and opened a box, inside which was Giorgione's "Pastoral Ensemble" was opening a box, inside was Mantegna's "Garden of Victory", and inside was Botticelli's "Defamation......

By the time he saw Titian's "Bacchus", Stefansky had put away all his greed, and he ordered that he forbid to open any more chests.

"National treasures, all of them are national treasures, none of us can possess them, these treasures should be sent to the Kremlin! I really don't understand, what method did Xiao Letian use to get these treasures......

"Come on, send these lifelines to the flagship, and then wrap them tightly with tarpaulins, and there must be no mistakes!"

At this moment, Molière suddenly spoke, "No, we found Xiao Letian's private vault, so may I ask, where is the vault belonging to the Chinese? We want ten tons of gold, there is not enough gold here!"

At this time, it dawned on people that, yes, we are here to solve Russia's financial crisis, gold is the first target, although art is valuable, it is difficult to realize, this can only be regarded as ancillary loot.

"Wake up the two captives with cold water and interrogate them separately, making sure to pry their mouths open...... A careful search of this vault must reveal clues...... By the way, the key is the ledger, there must be an account book that has not had time to be destroyed!"
