Chapter 530: Treasure? It's just a disguise!

PS: Three more ask for a monthly pass, please support more.

Wang Guan said that he opened a shop to eat with a mouthful, Liu Jing definitely didn't believe it, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "I won't hide it from you, I told my second brother last night, I want to thank you well." After all, when I was in Jiangzhou, we played together for a few days, and I also know that you like antiques, so I plan to give you a gift in this regard. ”

"But the second brother told me that it's okay to give you a gift, but it's better not to be an antique or something. Because you have two rare treasures in the world, ordinary antiques are no longer eye-catching. ”

While speaking, Liu Jing was a little curious, and whispered: "Brother-in-law, I can understand Jiao Weiqin, but is the big furnace that can produce smoke and turn lotuses real?" ”

"What do you think?" Wang Guan asked with a smile, but sighed slightly in his heart. A wealthy family is a wealthy family, and in such a short period of time, he has dug out his own details.

"I believe that the second brother will not lie to me, but I still have some doubts if I don't see it with my own eyes." Liu Jing said frankly that he still believes in the truth that hearing is false and seeing is believing.

Wang Guan was noncommittal, and after smiling, he changed the topic and said, "Little Wu, when I visited a palace by the lake with Baye Ye just now, we heard a rumor. I'm a little curious about this rumor and want to know the specific situation. ”

When he opened his mouth to talk about this matter, Wang Guan also paid attention to Liu Jing's expression, and didn't think that he was calm, so he smiled casually: "Is it a rumor about the treasure of the Qi Palace?" ”

"That's right, this is it." Wang nodded and said: "The tour guide said very mysteriously, he is a descendant of the Golden Family, and he has collected it for hundreds of years, which is very exciting." ”

"Hehe, if there really is this batch of treasures, everyone will be tempted."

Liu Jing laughed: "King Qi reigned for more than forty years, although it was the most turbulent era in China. However, King Qi was a tumbler in the political arena, and when the Qing court fell, he was a celebrity by Yuan Shikai's side. The Japanese occupied the Northeast, and he was very aware of the surrender of the current affairs, and was willing to be a lackey, so the property of the palace was not damaged at all. ”

"At that time, the land occupied and governed by the King of Qi totaled more than one million hectares, and the annual rent alone amounted to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. And inherited the family's accumulation of more than 300 years, and monopolized the oil extraction and other industries within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. In addition to the huge income from tribute and taxes of the six provinces and 39 banners under its jurisdiction, there are countless gold and silver treasures. ”

Liu Jing counted them casually, and said: "Don't look at the people who are local tyrants, but in terms of family property, it is estimated that there are more than the Qing Palace treasury at that time, and it can definitely be called a rich country." ”

"It was this great fortune that not only did the king of Qi and his family live a drunken princely life, but even the servants who served him, especially the steward who was responsible for collecting rent. It is also a use of power to expropriate and expropriate, fill his own pockets, and is very nourishing. ”

After some sighing, Liu Jing continued: "But the world is impermanent. Although the king of Qi had many wives, his son died early, and the huge family property was inherited by no direct heirs. After the death of King Qi, the palace naturally fell into a storm of succession to the throne. The whole family was torn apart. Two years later, Japan surrendered, and after that, Northeast China became the world of our party. ”

"That year. The county town set up a peasant association, and its first task was to fight local tyrants, fight bullies, and divide land and property equally. The Qi Palace, the largest local tycoon, naturally became the primary target. However, when everyone entered the Qi Palace, they found that there were no valuable things in the very magnificent palace except for some daily necessities such as food, cloth, furniture and utensils. ”

Liu Jing talked eloquently: "The foundation of the Qi Wangfu for hundreds of years, the annual income of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, only this bit of property is left, who believes it?" So everyone naturally felt that this huge wealth must have been hidden. As for the place of burial, of course, it is most likely the underground of the palace. ”

"Since it's buried in the ground, no one has dug it up for decades?" Wang Guan was skeptical.

"I must have dug it up, and I lost several lives because of it."

Liu Jing shook his head and said, "It's just that I dug up some gold and silver, pearl agate, jade antiques and the like." Of course, compared to the accumulation of hundreds of years in the Qi Palace, what has been dug up is just a drop in the bucket, and everyone must be unwilling. Gradually, the news spread that there were a large number of mysterious treasures buried under the palace......"

Wang Guan nodded lightly and asked with a smile: "I see that you look very disapproving, as if you don't believe this rumor." ”

"It's obviously a fabricated lie, and I can't believe it." Liu Jing said as a matter of course: "Whoever believes it is a fool." ”

"How?" Wang Guan said with interest.

"It's simple." Liu Jing said with a smile: "The person who made up the story suddenly had a fact. ”

"What facts?" Wang Guan asked with interest.

"What hundreds of years of accumulation, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver annual income, six provinces and thirty-nine banners of tribute, are all deliberately one-sided." Liu Jing scoffed and said: "First of all, the accumulation of wealth for hundreds of years is clearly a huge joke. What kind of virtue are princes and nobles, is it still unclear to everyone? ”

"Extravagance and lasciviousness, luxury and sex, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, sooner or later they will be squandered, where is how much savings? Think about the situation in the middle and late Qing Dynasty when the children of the Eight Banners died during the day to pretend to be wide-faced, and secretly went to the ghost market at night to sell their property, you should know what the situation of the Qi Wangfu was. ”

Liu Jing said disdainfully: "Even if the situation of the Qi Wangfu is better, at least there is the income of the fief, but don't forget, the Qi Wangfu also has a large family to support, what uncles and brothers and the like, they have to give them a piece of silver every month." ”

"As for the so-called tribute tax of the three banners of the six provinces, it is even more unlikely that it will fall into the pocket of the king of Qi. You must know that after the 918 Incident, Japan used Pu Yi to establish a Manchukuo in the northeast, and the King of Qi immediately took refuge and became the so-called founding hero. Then he became the head of the General Administration of Xing'an in Inner Mongolia and the minister of the Ministry of Mongolia, responsible for the management of the Mongolian affairs of the three banners of the six provinces of Manchukuo. ”

At this time, Liu Jing sneered and said: "But to figure it out, even the emperor is a puppet of the Japanese, what power does he, a minister, have?" The financial revenue is in the hands of the Japanese, where is the King of Qi What's the matter? The person who made up the story was stealing the beam and changing the pillar to count this income on King Qi, which is too insulting to everyone's IQ. ”

"And ......"

Liu Jing hit the nail on the head and said: "After Japan's surrender, the area near the palace belongs to the zone of three regardless. At that time, bandits were very rampant, and they often went to the palace to rob. The people of the royal family were very frightened and fled one after another. In the process of fleeing, he must have brought with him a lot of gold and silver treasures. ”

"You must know that the entire royal family, including the servants of the royal palace, there are at least hundreds of people, and no amount of gold and silver treasures will be enough for them to divide up. What's more, in the process of escaping, maybe he was robbed by bandits again; Or they can escape to various places and settle down......"

Liu Jing said with a smile: "So, the treasures of the palace are scattered like this, where are there any underground treasures." Besides, if you go to Haramodu now, you can only see the remnants of the royal palace. The luxurious and grand palace of the past has now turned into a dense crowd of private houses. ”

"But when you build a house, you also have to dig the foundation. The locals naturally know the legend of the treasure, so when digging the foundation, they will dig more or less deliberately. If there was any treasure, it would have been dug up a long time ago, and where would it have waited until now. Liu Jing smiled and said: "Anyway, as far as I know, that place has not only been explored dozens of times over the past few decades, but has also been repeatedly excavated hundreds of times like a ploughed field, but unfortunately nothing has been found." ”

"In other words, the rumors of the treasure are just a cover to trick people into traveling there." Wang Guan said with a smile: "Selectively fabricating some true and false deeds, and deliberately hiding some truths, has become the focus of attention." ”

"That's right." Liu Jing agreed: "It was just a small speculation, but after decades of fermentation, the rise of tourism in recent years has completely become a gimmick." ”

"What gimmick?"

At this moment, Liu's mother and Liu Sheng came back.

Liu Jing blinked and immediately smiled: "We are talking about the nearby Mongolian Aobao, which was originally a road sign used by the vast grassland people to identify the direction, and then gradually became a symbol of worshipping the mountain gods, road gods, praying for a good harvest, and the happiness and safety of the family, but now it has become a gimmick to attract tourists to visit." ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Liu's mother admonished: "The issue of religious belief cannot be joked about. ”

"Got it."

Liu Jing nodded hurriedly, indicating that there would never be a second time.

At the same time, Liu Sheng half reminded, half relieved: "By the way, get ready, Dad is coming back." ”

It turned out that Liu Sheng was right, and only a few minutes later, Liu Jing's father, accompanied by his secretary, walked into the hall lightly. I saw that he was in his fifties, his hair was very neatly combed, his face was smiling, and he looked very kind.

Seeing this person, although he was a little prepared in his heart, Wang Guan was still a little surprised. After all, after knowing Yu Feibai, he also pays more attention to politics and high-level dynamics, so he can occasionally see this person on TV.

However, compared with Yu Shouzhong's unsmiling attitude, his imposing body and majestic demeanor. Liu's father followed the political line of the literati, attached great importance to the image of being close to the people, and had a lovely smile and an amiable feeling.

Of course, in this case, amiable nature is best. Anyway, seeing Liu's father greeting him with a smile, An Huanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and greeted him very well-behaved.

"You're welcome, there's no need to be restrained, everyone sit down." Father Liu smiled gently: "Xiao Wu is right, there are no outsiders here, so you don't need to thank me, I thank you." All in all, Xiao Wu is good, we are all very happy, and even happier is that he has met you good friends and confidantes......" (To be continued. )
