Chapter 610 Ten Thousand Taels of Gold and Silver (I)

Che Juan and Master Pan guessed that the treasure they found was the treasure of Zhang Xianzhong, a famous general of the peasant rebel army in the late Ming Dynasty.

He Qing did not object to their speculation, but said: "The origin of these ancient coins is not very certain now, and there are any possibilities. ”

He knows the past and the present, his eyes can see the past of antiques, and he naturally knows the ins and outs of those silver coins and copper coins, so he knows the whole "ancient tomb" situation better than anyone else.

In fact, he knew about it before he even entered the place.

That's right, according to his judgment, this may indeed be Zhang Xianzhong's hiding place.

This time, he and Master Pan rushed to Shudu to archaeology, and it was one of He Qing's purposes to explore Zhang Xianzhong's treasure, although when Lin Haitao talked about Zhang Xianzhong's treasure with his eyebrows, he didn't care, but said that most of those news stories were ingredient, and it was not realistic to find the legendary huge treasure, but he didn't have this idea at all, but planned to walk around if he had time to see if he could find any clues.

Who knows, by mistake, a big situation was found in this place.

Now that it has come in, from the ancient money found, as well as the relevant circumstances, it can be reasonably surmised that this is the treasure buried by Zhang Xianzhong back then, at least one of them.

"That's it!" Master Pan said excitedly, "This is all an underground tunnel, not like an ancient tomb, like a place specially used to hide and hide things. ”

Che Juan also said: "Yes, no wonder this ancient tomb is weird." How can there be so many corpses of soldiers who have not been treated, and so many scattered silver and copper coins, those money should be military salaries, but it is just strange, how can there be Hu, Nanchang, Sha, and county orders in the salary and silver obtained by Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers? ”

He Qing replied: "If this is really Zhang Xianzhong's treasure, then the origin of the silver is easy to explain." You must know what kind of leader Zhang Xianzhong is, he is cruel and ferocious, leading the army into Sichuan on the way, burning, killing and looting. I don't know how much money was robbed. Otherwise, there would be no claim that he kept a large amount of treasure, so it is possible that they robbed the military pay of dubious origin. ”

"Well, Xiao He's analysis makes sense." Master Pan nodded solemnly and said, "The Luyin marked with Lake, Nanchang, Sha, and County should have been looted by Zhang Xianzhong and his subordinates. From this point of view. It can prove that this place is the place where Zhang Xianzhong buried his treasure. 'Stone oxen and stone drums. Ten thousand dollars of silver. Who knows through it, buy Chengdu Mansion', Zhang Xianzhong's treasure of all kinds of legends. I didn't expect to be discovered by us today! Xiaohe, you have solved this great mystery that has plagued the world for hundreds of years! ”

He Qing shook his head and smiled indifferently: "Now we are still just speculating, we can't be sure yet, we can be sure later." ”

"'Stone oxen and stone drums, silver is ten thousand five, who can see through it, buy it in Chengdu Mansion', Mr. Pan, what does this mean?" Che Juan asked curiously.

Master Pan replied 1510: "This is a nursery rhyme that circulates in Chengdu, and now there is such a nursery rhyme engraved on the stone tablet on the side of the Jinjiang River in Shudu, which means that if you find stones and stone drums, you can find countless silver buried by Zhang Xianzhong, and those silvers are so much that they can buy the entire Shu capital!"

"The story of the treasure left by Zhang Xianzhong, I don't know how many people are tempted, there is an endless stream of treasure hunters, but no one has found the real treasure, but I didn't expect it to be found by us today, but this is all the credit of Xiaohe, if it weren't for the sharp eyes to see the situation, then we would be scratching the head melon seeds, and we would never have thought of it!"

"I see!" Che Juan suddenly realized, "It seems that the nursery rhyme is not groundless, there is a certain basis." ”

Master Pan nodded and said: "There is a record of this in the history of the wild, it is rumored that before the defeat and retreat, Zhang Xianzhong spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources to build a high embankment on the Jinjiang River flowing through Shudu, but not to control the flood, but to dig a large pit several zhang deep in the sediment downstream of the embankment, and buried the tens of thousands of gold and silver treasures he robbed in the pit, and then re-broke the embankment and released the water, flooded the big pit where the treasure was buried, and used the stone ox and stone drum as a secret mark. But these things have not been verified, and there is no way to study them. ”

He Qing said: "Isn't it rumored that someone accidentally got the 'treasure map' of Zhang Xianzhong's treasure and found the 'stone cow' and 'stone drum' sung in the nursery rhyme?" ”

Master Pan replied: "Indeed, someone dug up the stone ox and the stone drum from under the embankment, which caused a huge sensation at the time. And guess what? The baby dug out some, but only salvaged a few baskets of ordinary copper coins, which were not worth anything, and the people who spent a lot of effort to salvage lost a large amount of money for the project, which greatly outweighed the loss.

From this point of view, the legendary Zhang Xianzhong's thousand ships of sinking silver are not hidden in the Jinjiang River, this is still an unsolvable mystery in the eyes of the world, hehe, and the mystery of Cao Cao's seventy-two doubtful graves is the same, now the two big mysteries have been solved by you, you are really a hero! ”

He Qing smiled slightly and said: "The mystery of Cao Cao's tomb has indeed been solved by magic, but the mystery of Zhang Xianzhong's treasure is not easy to say, so we have to continue to investigate." ”

Che Juan nodded and said: "Yes, isn't the nursery rhyme sung with thousands of gold and silver, but now I find that there are not many, it's far from it!" ”

Master Pan said: "There shouldn't be a mistake, the treasure buried by Zhang Xianzhong must be in front, we haven't reached the center point yet, a large number of treasures should be hidden in front." ”

"I hope I can find that ten thousand silver!" Che Juan said excitedly, "This feels like a dream, Zhang Xianzhong's treasure can be found!" ”

"Xiaohe, let's go ahead and have a look!" Master Pan couldn't wait to say that he had decided that this was Zhang Xianzhong's treasure, and a large amount of gold and silver was waiting for them to explore.

"Well, let's go." He Qing nodded.

After saying that, the group continued to search forward.

On the way, the bones of the soldiers piled up more and more, and there were many more silver and copper coins scattered on the ground.

And the "treasure light" captured by He Qing's eyes became more and more intense, indicating that as Master Pan said, a large number of treasures were hidden not far ahead.

"Hey, what's that?!" As she was walking, Che Juan suddenly exclaimed.

Looking in the direction he was pointing, he saw wooden pillars stacked on top of each other.

"That's a wooden tablet!" He Qing replied, his voice trembling slightly, looking very excited.

Because the round wooden stakes that Che Juan was referring to emitted a strong spiritual light, it can be judged that there are precious treasures hidden inside the pillars.

As he spoke, He Qing quickened his pace and walked over.

Master Pan and Che Juan followed closely.

As they got closer, they could see more clearly that it was a pile of wooden posts.

Due to its age, the column has turned black, and there are obvious signs of decay.

"Why are there stakes in here?" Master Pan was surprised.

He Qing said: "This should be a wooden tablet. ”

As he spoke, he squatted down, pointed to the wooden pillar and said, "Master Pan, you see, there are wires at both ends of the stake, which are tightly tied with wires, and if I guess correctly, this kind of wooden tablet is made of two hollowed-out semicircular stakes put together, and then secured with wire hoops. ”

"You mean to say that there is something hidden in the wooden tablet?" Master Pan asked.

He Qing stretched out his hand and tapped it a wooden tablet, nodded and said, "Yes, it is full of things." ”

"What could it be?!" Master Pan asked, "Could it be the gold and silver that Zhang Xianzhong hidden?" I have heard that a batch of treasures buried by Zhang Xianzhong was accidentally found in Laohutan, Pengshan, and the silver ingots dug up were packed with this kind of wooden slip, but they did not excavate much, and they were far from reaching the statement of ten thousand gold and silver. ”

He Qing nodded and said, "Well, it should be the same as that situation." Master Pan, let's open these wooden tablets first. ”

"Well, open it and take a look." Master Pan nodded his head in agreement without hesitation, he couldn't wait to see what was hidden in the wooden tablet.

He Qing immediately picked up a wooden tablet and started with a heavy one, if it was just a wooden stake, how could it be so heavy, the only explanation was that it was stuffed with things.

After picking up the wooden pillar, He Qing used his strength to easily break the wire that was tightly tied at both ends, and quickly removed it.

When the wire was disassembled, the two semicircular stakes separated.

"Wow~~"

Immediately, the things hidden in the wooden tablets fell and scattered all over the ground.

"Wow, it's all silver ingots!"

When they saw the pile of silver ingots, Master Pan and Che Juan all widened their eyes and looked surprised.

This was unexpected, because before he opened the Tibetan silver wooden tablet, he had caught a strong aura emanating from it, and what would it be if it wasn't gold and silver jewelry.

He Qing put down the wooden tablet and said, "The gold and silver that Zhang Xianzhong plundered are hidden in this kind of wooden tablet, and the other wooden tablets should also be stuffed with this kind of silver ingot." ”

So saying, he opened the other wooden tablets in the same gourd, and sure enough, they were all stuffed with silver ingots, but there was no gold or jewels.

At this moment, there are silver ingots on the ground, those silver ingots are in the shape of a boat, and most of them have the inscription on the back of the words "August of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, fifty taels of silver", which is obviously the official silver of the Ming Dynasty.

Among them, there are also silver ingots with inscriptions such as "Yuanling County has completed the levy and relieved the division to carry fifty taels of silver for the soldiers' salaries and Chongzhen ten years and August silversmith Jiang Guotai", "Jingshan County has paid ten taels of silver for fifteen years", "Baling County Yukou has fifty taels of silver" and other inscriptions, these are from the lake-south and lake-north regions, which are the tax silver of the Chongzhen period, and should be the treasures plundered by Zhang Xianzhong from those places.

This time they found nearly 10,000 taels of silver, it seems that the saying "silver is ten thousand five" is really true! (To be continued......)
