203 Falling out of the water

The fifth day of the lunar month is the death day of Xu Miaoyi's mother. Xu Miaoyi has been fasting since the first day of junior high school, and lived in Bao'en Temple to copy scriptures and pray for her deceased mother.

In fact, "Xu Miaoyi" who lives in Bao'en Temple is just a stand-in with a similar face, and the real Xu Miaoyi has secretly gone out of the city and rushed to the cemetery where Luanfeng and his wife were buried together day and night.

Revisiting the old place, unlike the last time when he took a group of nobles in the capital, this time the operation was confidential, in order not to startle the snake, Xu Miaoyi went into battle lightly, and only followed Zhu Di and Ma Sanbao, a confidant eunuch, who were disguised as traveling merchants, and others.

Jinhua, at night, Zhu Di commanded his subordinates to open the sealing stone of the tomb door, and the left rear of the tomb of the husband and wife is a small tomb bag, which is the place where Miss Luan's bones are buried.

Xu Miaoyi gave Miss Luan three sticks of incense, Miss Luan never married, not even a cemetery, Xu Miaoyi couldn't bear to see her thrown into a mass grave, so she donated incense money to Hanshan Temple, asked those monks to chant the scriptures, and transported the coffin from Suzhou to Jinhua, and buried with her parents.

After the incense, Xu Miaoyi said while burning the paper money: "...... Your Luan family is about to usher in a newcomer, Song Xiuer wrote a letter to say that the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month is her marriage date with Luan Balang. You and your parents can rest assured, they are far away in the southwest, where it is safe, it is warm all year round, there is almost no winter, they have changed their names and surnames, Hachiro continues to study, Xiu'er runs a cloth village, like a fairy couple, I don't know what it feels like. ”

"You have endured all the hardships of the world, and it is their turn to be bitter and happy."

The tomb road stone was opened, scattered the mildew, everyone held torches to the joint burial chamber of Luan Feng and his wife, the painting on the wall has been mottled and peeled off, it can be vaguely seen that the depiction of Luan Governor's exploits in guarding Jinhua City during his lifetime, and Mrs. Wang stepped forward at the moment of crisis, bravely saved her husband, and died under the sword of the thug.

This is Xie Zaixing in the pen of the mural painter of the tomb road, and it is also Xie Zaixing in the hearts of the people of Jinhua City, a cruel and violent betrayer, who killed the prefect Luan who shared weal and woe and swore to defend the city to the death, and even the unarmed woman Mrs. Luan did not let go, like the reincarnation of a demon.

Zhu Di ordered someone to pry open the tomb bricks laid in the ground and continue to dig down.

Xu Miaoyi gently stroked the mottled human figure on the mural, this is her maternal grandfather, who was born and died all his life, and after death, he will be scolded by the people he has guarded with his life......

The shovel dug a cave, and Ma Sanbao was overjoyed, "Your Highness, there is indeed another layer down there!" ”

This is a secret room to hide, the secret room is piled with large and small golden silk nan wood boxes, it is said that this precious wood is used to make coffins, can keep the body from decay for thousands of years, and the same price as gold, open the box, it is full of all kinds of documents, seals, and account books and other things, some of the paper still has traces of smoke and fire, as if it was rushed out of the fire.

There was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, the ink on the inkstone had long dried up, and a jade paperweight was pressed on top of a long handwritten book, Xu Miaoyi first looked at the payment, glanced at Zhu Di, and said in unison: "It's Shen Wanshan!" ”

The stakes are very high, only Zhu Di, Xu Miaoyi and Ma Sanbao are in the second layer of the tomb, as soon as Ma Sanbao heard that it was Shen Wanshan, his eyes immediately glowed with golden light, "If it is really him, then there should be Zhang Shicheng's treasure here, I heard that Shen Wanshan is Zhang Shicheng's money bag, after Zhang Shicheng's death, those good things fell into the hands of Shen Wanshan." ”

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyi's minds were not on the treasure, they only looked at what Shen Wansan said in the handbook, and Ma Sanbao excitedly opened all the golden silk nanmu boxes, and searched for them, but they didn't see half a cent of gold and silver, but found a stack of nautical charts.

Shen Wansan started by selling salt, and became rich by maritime business, which is exactly the same as Zhang Shicheng's career, but Zhang Shicheng is not satisfied with the identity of a businessman

He made great achievements, became the overlord of one party, and proclaimed himself the king of Wu, so it was inconvenient to take care of business. Everything was explained to Shen Wanshan.

Ma Sanbao flipped to a picture, and his eyes were suddenly brighter than torches, "Your Highness, it turns out that Zhang Shicheng's treasure is not in Daming, it has been transported to Ryukyu Island by Shen Wanshan!" No wonder no one has found it whether the people or the court have dug three feet into the ground, if this is handed over to the emperor, His Royal Highness will definitely make a great contribution, and he will never be coldly looked at by the emperor again! ”

Zhu Di finally raised his head from the hand scroll, "This is what Miss Xu found, not me, everything is up to her arrangement." ”

Ma Sanbao is still very happy, Miss Xu is about to become Princess Yan, these are her dowries, our King Yan is blessed to marry a rich daughter-in-law. In Ma Sanbao's eyes, Xu Miaoyi has become a golden mountain.

Xu Miaoyi looked at Shen Wanshan's handscroll intently, wealth has no meaning to her, the truth is the most important thing. Shen Wansan, the richest businessman in Jiangnan, recalled his experience and friendship with his companion Zhang Shicheng in the handscroll. From smugglers to maritime tycoons, they support each other and are friends who treat each other with all sincerity.

Later, Zhang Shicheng abandoned business to join the Red Turban Army, became the overlord of Eastern Wu in one fell swoop, and also became Shen Wansan's biggest backer in business.

It's a pity that no matter how strong Dongwu is, Zhang Shicheng is still defeated by the iron hooves of Zhu Yuanzhang's army, Zhang Shicheng is defeated and retreated, retreating to Suzhou City, and is besieged by Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, two generals, and the two sides are deadlocked for several months, with countless casualties.

Before Suzhou was trapped, Shen Wansan proposed to avoid the edge of Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, abandon the city and flee to the overseas Ryukyu Island, recuperate, and wait for the two tigers of Zhu Yuanzhang and Dayuan to bite each other, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and take advantage of the defeat of both sides, return to the Central Plains, and gather the old troops to counterattack.

Zhang Shicheng did not object to this proposal at that time, so Shen Wansan transported his huge wealth to Ryukyu by sea ship, and even planned that once Zhang Shicheng led his old troops to land on Ryukyu Island, Shen Wansan would recruit a group of pirates to join him in and out, destroy the Ryukyu royal family, and establish a new kingdom.

In that chaotic era, when pirates become bigger, they will become maritime merchants, and if maritime merchants want to become bigger, they must control private armies more ruthlessly than pirates, pirates and maritime merchants are one family, black and white, Zhang Shicheng and Shen Wansan have experienced this kind of transformation.

But everything was ready to stop, but Zhang Shicheng changed his mind, was unwilling to leave his homeland, and perished with Suzhou City. Shen Wansan was grief-stricken and wanted to move his family to the Ryukyu Kingdom, but when the city of Suzhou was broken, Zhang Shicheng's only surviving beloved daughter Yong'an County Lord disappeared, and Shen Wansan guessed that the county lord was captured by Emperor Hongwu, and wanted to rescue the Yongan County Lord, and then go away together.

For this reason, Shen Wansan surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang, and gave up most of his family wealth to raise food for the Ming army, and also spent money to build more than half of the Jinling city wall, so as to win Zhu Yuanzhang's trust and wait for the opportunity to inquire about the whereabouts of the county lord of Yong'an.

It's a pity that Shen Wan is three years old and frail, and he knows that the deadline is approaching, and he didn't get any news from the county lord of Yong'an when he died. He had an agreement with the county lord before, the clues of Zhang Shicheng's treasure will be hidden in the "Yang Gong Painting", he pointed to the location in the painting score set up a deliberately old stone stele, the hidden poems on the stele pointed to the Jinhua Luanfeng cemetery, and the treasure map and navigation chart, as well as some things rescued from Zhang Shicheng's study are buried in the cemetery, hoping that the county lord of Yong'an can one day escape, follow the clues to find here, and then drift across the ocean and live a free life......

The county lord of Yong'an couldn't wait for this day, but instead broke through Suzhou City and forced Xu Miaoyi, the daughter of Xu Da, the martyred general of Zhang Shicheng, to unlock this shocking secret.

It's really a creation.

The things in the golden silk nanmu box were all snatched out of Zhang Shicheng's study? Xu Miaoyi and Zhu Di rummaged through a box by themselves, hoping to find something useful.

Ma Sanbao held what he thought was the most important thing to Xu Miaoyi with both hands, "This is the treasure map of the Ryukyu Kingdom, please take a look at it." ”

Hope was in front of her, Xu Miaoyi impatiently pushed away the treasure map, "Don't make noise!" Across such a wide ocean, I can run so far, I can see it, I can't touch it, throw it aside, don't bother me. ”

Ma Sanbao stumbled and said, "This is all real money!" The eldest lady just gave up? ”

Xu Miaoyi rummaged through the box and said, "If you are interested, you can find it, if you can really find it, you will be divided into two." ”

Ma Sanbao said: "The slave and maid dare not ask for it, Princess Yan's money is enough for the slave and maid to eat, and it is useless for the slave and maid to take so much gold and silver, let alone this seafaring ability - the slave and maid can't swim, and the seasickness, I heard that the fish on the sea are bigger than our palace, and they can swallow a sea ship when they open their mouths, and a big living person is not enough to stuff their teeth." If you're scared to death, spare the slaves. ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "I can't swim, and I still talk so much nonsense about overseas treasure hunting." ”

Ma Sanbao looked at the heavy chart in his hand, and felt as if something was calling him, which tickled his heart, and the ghost sent a sentence, "If Miss Xu doesn't dislike it, the slave can give it a try." ”

Ma Sanbao usually looks stupid with no heart, but he is loyal to Zhu Di and has a strict tone, otherwise he would not have been able to follow him, since Song Xiu'er left, Xu Miaoyi has no one to use, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you." ”

In the dark, fate turned a corner, and the most famous Chinese navigator of ancient and modern times had a yearning for the sea for the first time, and more than twenty years later, he would have a well-known name: Zheng He.

Of course, Ma Sanbao, the little eunuch at that time, had just set a small goal: for example, learn to swim first.

Zhu Di looked at a letter carefully, suddenly his pupils shrank, and he said tremblingly: "Miaoyi, it's him, it's him!" ”

Xu Miaoyi put aside the paperwork in her hand and took the letter, "Li Shanchang?!" ”

South Korean Gong Li Shanchang, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty under one person and above ten thousand people. 166 Reading Network
