Chapter 354: Empty Tomb
The wind was speeding all the way, the military vehicles were unimpeded, and soon came to the Dongjiang River.
Under the guidance of Zhao Weiguo, they went straight to Rongqing County, which is subordinate to Dongjiang City, where Zhao Weiguo's hometown is located.
When he arrived at the old house of the Zhao family in Rongqing County, Zhao Weiguo told Chen Donghui and Zhou Qing that after his ancestors got the gold, they buried the gold in the situation of a tomb, and in the courtyard of his family's old house, there was a very powerful mechanism in it, and it was highly toxic to prevent others from stealing.
Therefore, he first spent some time to tell the two of them in detail how to close the mechanism, and then when he took the gold, he went down first, if there was no accident, it would be best, in case he had an accident, Chen Donghui and Zhou Qing would find a way to get this batch of gold up according to the situation he said.
It's a waste to keep so many good things buried in the ground.
Although Zhao Weiguo said it easily, Chen Donghui and Zhou Qing could hear that Zhao Weiguo went down to gold, which was really thrilling!
Rao is their ancestor has excellent skills in making mechanisms, but after being buried underground for so many years, it has not seen the light of day, and has been corroded for a long time, in case the closing switch fails, Zhao Weiguo is really dangerous underground!
In addition, Zhao Weiguo told the two of them such an important matter without reservation, and he was going to go in alone to take risks, and this trust and righteousness also moved Chen Donghui and Zhou Qing very much!
Zhao Weiguo's idea has been decided, so Chen Donghui and Zhou Qing are not allowed to say it.
Zhao Weiguo's ancestral house is a large courtyard covering an area of nearly one acre, which is very spacious, but no one lives in it all the year round, and it is full of wild grass, and the cellar where a large amount of gold is buried is in this wild grass.
Since Zhao Weiguo's ancestors were tomb robbers and had always only done it at night, he set a rule that this batch of gold should be done at night.
Zhao Weiguo followed the ancestral teachings and prepared to wait until the evening to do so.
Since there was still a whole afternoon to go, and after driving for half an morning, Zhao Weiguo and the three of them went out to find a restaurant to drink and eat.
Stayed in a small restaurant for half an afternoon, although the three of them were good drinkers, but because there were big things in the evening, so a total of less than a pound of wine, the hotel owner's own marinated beef is very good, cut very thinly, dipped in balsamic vinegar, garlic paste, very delicious.
The three of them feasted and ate a total of five catties of beef.
When the night was falling, Zhao Weiguo bought a bottle of locally produced high-grade sorghum wine from a small restaurant, and then left with Chen Donghui and Zhou Qing.
When they came to Zhao Weiguo's old house, the three of them sat in the yard, picked up branches and weeds, and built a fire, and waited until the twilight was completely dark, and then Zhao Weiguo said: "Donghui, Zhou Qing, it's almost time." ”
Chen Donghui said: "Big brother, let's go down together, so that we can take care of it." ”
Zhou Qing also said: "Donghui, let me go down, I have been a scout, I have fought the battle of Laoshan, I have seen any danger, if something really happens, my reaction will definitely be faster than yours." ”
Zhao Weiguo shook his head firmly and said, "It's better to follow the plan, I'll go down by myself, and you two will guard it." Donghui, Zhou Qing, you are all good brothers, I can see this, otherwise I wouldn't have told you the ancestral secret of our old Zhao family. Donghui, Zhou Qing, I really don't have much understanding of the situation underground, after all, I haven't gone down, but this is our old Zhao family's thing, I have to go down, even if I die inside, I can be regarded as worthy of my ancestors and ancestors, but you two, I can't let you take risks, in case something really happens, I don't have the face to face you below. ”
Since Zhao Weiguo said such a thing, Chen Donghui and Zhou Qing had nothing to say.
Chen Donghui said: "Big brother, since you said so, then Zhou Qing and I will give you a hold above, and if something happens below, you will call us immediately." ”
Zhao Weiguo said with a smile: "Donghui, after I go down, I will hand over my life to you." ”
Chen Donghui and Zhou Qing immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Weiguo's meaningful words, Zhao Weiguo went down in a while, even if there was nothing inside and the institution was successfully closed, but if the two of them had a black heart and wanted to swallow this batch of gold alone, then it would be effortless to kill Zhao Weiguo above and below.
So Zhao Weiguo said that he put his life in the hands of the two of them.
Chen Donghui is naturally not this kind of person who ignores his brother's righteousness for the sake of money, he knows that Zhou Qing is definitely not such a person, but there is no way to express his position on such a thing, if it is emphasized too much, it may be counterproductive, which makes Zhao Weiguo even more suspicious.
So Chen Donghui just patted Zhao Weiguo's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, big brother." ”
Zhao Weiguo nodded, since he chose to believe in Chen Donghui, he must believe it to the end, and he believed it with his own life, leaving no room for doubt for himself at all.
"I'm going to change my clothes. Zhao Weiguo said, and then walked towards the side room with blue bricks and red tiles, and their luggage was placed in this side room.
After Zhao Weiguo entered the house, Zhou Qing smiled at Chen Donghui and said, "You big brother is quite kind." ”
Chen Donghui's face was very solemn, and he said: "Only a person like the eldest brother can make a real brother." ”
"Hehe, that's because you're a trusted brother. If it was someone else, he would not be so relieved. ”
"Hehe, you're right, but my confidence in you is no less than that of my eldest brother. ”
Zhou Qing didn't speak again, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Within a few minutes, Zhao Weiguo changed into a black tights and walked out, carrying a backpack with a military flashlight hanging on his sleeve, a bundle of nylon rope hanging on his body, holding a Luoyang shovel in his right hand, and a small and delicate sharp dagger in a hidden buckle on his belt.
Chen Donghui and Zhou Qing couldn't help but laugh when they saw Zhao Weiguo's dress.
Zhao Weiguo himself was a little embarrassed, pointed to the equipment on his body, and said: "Some of these things were purchased by me in the south recently, and some of them are like this Luoyang shovel, which was handed down by my grandfather, and it has been put away for decades, and it is still the same as new." ”
Chen Donghui stretched out his hand and stroked the Luoyang shovel, the tentacles were cold, and he felt that it was neither iron nor copper, and he didn't know what material was forged from it, but as soon as he touched it, he could feel the coldness of this tool.
"It's really a good thing!" Chen Donghui exclaimed.
"Hehe......" Zhao Weiguo smiled, walked to the south of the middle of the yard, kicked the messy vines aside with his foot, and said, "It's here, Donghui, Zhou Qing, I still need your favor, let's remove the layer of floating soil on it." ”
"Good. Chen Donghui answered, walked to the wall, took a few hoes and shovels, distributed them to Zhao Weiguo and Zhou Qing, and began to dig the soil.
This layer of floating soil is not deep, three people work together, and soon remove this layer of floating soil, revealing a metal material, two-meter square manhole cover, black and not slippery, and there are some quaint patterns on it.
"Big brother, right down here?" asked Chen Donghui.
Zhao Weiguo said: "It is in this, in fact, this was originally the tomb of an official in the Ming Dynasty, and later my grandfather found this tomb, after entering, I found that it was an empty tomb, and there was no sign of theft, my grandfather was puzzled, and then he stayed and built this house here." Later, the people and the people fought and the place was destroyed, and the gold and silver treasures in the tomb, along with the tomb, were destroyed, and the courtyard became a ruin. During the Anti-Japanese War, my grandfather got a batch of small yellow croaker, because he couldn't see the future of the country, so he rebuilt the tomb and house here, and hid a batch of small yellow croaker here, which became the treasure of our old Zhao family. ”
Zhou Qing was puzzled: "Brother Wei Guo, there is an empty tomb inside, what do you mean?
"Hehe......" Zhao Weiguo said with a smile, "The meaning of the empty tomb is not that there is nothing inside, but that there is no owner inside." When my grandfather went in, he found that there were a lot of burial goods inside, jade, bronze, pottery, porcelain, gold and silver treasures, but there was no one in the sarcophagus, not even clothes and hats, so this is an empty tomb without an owner!"
Zhou Qing asked again: "There are so many treasures but no one, could it be that it was originally a treasure cellar, not a tomb at all?"
Zhao Weiguo shook his head and said: "No, this place is completely built in accordance with the direction and feng shui of the tomb, and the specifications of the burial goods inside also show that the owner of this should be the tomb of a Ming Dynasty official above the third grade, but why this is an empty scene, my grandfather didn't figure it out." ”
Chen Donghui didn't dare to be interested in whether this tomb was empty, and said: "Zhou Qing, don't talk so much nonsense, it's important to let the eldest brother do the right thing." ”
Zhou Qing said embarrassedly: "I heard Brother Wei Guo say this just now, I am really interested in this tomb." Brother Wei Guo, otherwise, let me go with you. ”
Zhao Weiguo still said firmly: "No, what you say is what you say, Donghui, Zhou Qing, you two are still guarding me above, I will go down by myself, if there is no danger inside, if you are interested, go down." ”
Zhou Qing was still unsatisfied, but he knew that Zhao Weiguo would not let him go on like this, so he said: "Okay, Brother Weiguo, you must be careful when you go down." ”
"Don't worry!" Zhao Weiguo patted Zhou Qing's shoulder, and then patted Chen Donghui's shoulder, and said.
