Chapter 190: Probing

What made Yu Fei's heart tighten was a small iron can, to be precise, it was an empty canned food box! Although the tin can has rusted and it seems to have been left for a long time, it should never have been something that should have been in the shogunate period anyway! That is to say, no matter whether this is a treasure trove of gold treasures, there are already people in this place who have taken the lead, and even if there is really a gold treasure, it must have been carried away, and my hard work may be in vain.

This conclusion made Yu Fei's mood very depressed! Damn, I thought I had the help of chaos and would be the first person to discover here, but it turned out that I was just following someone else's ass and eating fart! It seems that there are really a lot of masters in this world, he can only be discovered by accident by relying on the chaotic qi, and the person who came earlier than himself, how did he discover this cave?

Where did Yu Fei think that 4 million taels of gold was so attractive to people, many people really turned over the entire Chicheng Mountain, how could this cave, which is only more than ten meters away from the cave, not be discovered?

But now that we're here, let's just go to the end. Maybe the gold hasn't been shipped out of the city yet, and maybe there will be a few gold coins left in some of the corners. So far, Yu Fei can only comfort himself like this.

After walking a distance of more than 100 meters to the end of the cave, the cave suddenly became open, and in front of him was a stone room of fifty or sixty square meters, with some stone tables and chairs in it, and the surrounding walls. Several small holes have been dug out, and it appears that they were once used for lighting tools such as candles or oil lamps.

It's likely that this is where the gold treasure was hidden, but now it's empty. Not even a shadow of a gold coin! The stone chamber is not very big, and it is impossible to hide anything!

It seems that he is still a step too late, Yu Fei thought depressedly. Who the hell is this person who grabbed the treasure first, and he didn't even have a word about it! However, Yu Fei also understands that if he finds the treasure, he will not publicize it, otherwise he will definitely cause a lot of trouble. Making a fortune in a muffled voice is the right way!

After a while, Yu Fei didn't give up, and carefully knocked on the wall again. I want to see if there will be any mezzanine or darkroom. But he was soon disappointed, there was no dark room in the entire stone room!

Yu Fei finally accepted the fact that all the golden treasures were gone. But after thinking about it, what if he really found a huge amount of gold of four million taels in the stone room? With his own strength, there is no way to transport the gold out of here. Even if he carried all the gold out of the house like an ant. And then what? Four million taels of gold, that's not four taels or forty taels, how to transport it down the mountain, and how to transport it out of Japan after the last one? If you can't solve these problems, then you can only be more sad to look at the golden treasure, and now except for regret, everything else is fine.

When Yu Fei was about to use the chaotic qi to make the last detection, he found an abnormality!

On the right side of the stone chamber there was a hole in the mountain wall twenty or thirty centimeters square, which was sealed with stones. Because the position was relatively high, Yu Fei didn't detect it when he knocked on the probe just now.

This discovery made Yu Fei's spirit flutter. He walked over with a flashlight, carefully touched the stone that sealed the hole, and found that there were indeed gaps on the surface, but in such a dark environment, such a small gap would not be noticed at all! What's in it? Yu Fei didn't dare to open it rashly, but first guided the chaotic qi to probe, and found that there was a small book sealed in a metal box, and there was nothing else.

Yu Fei took out the dagger, inserted it into the crack of the stone little by little, and carefully prying. He was afraid that if he used too much force, he would break the dagger. Luckily, Little Japan's knives are pretty good.

There was a "boom", and the stone that was sealed outside fell down.

Yu Fei clamped the flashlight between his neck and took out the metal box with both hands. The box is heavier to start with, and it seems to be made of pure gold!

Sure enough, under the beam of the flashlight, the box glowed with a peculiar glow of gold! I didn't expect a storage box to be made of gold, which is too extravagant, right?

Fortunately, the box was not locked, otherwise Yu Fei would have been able to burn the piano and boil the crane and smash the lock with a stone.

When I opened the box, there was a book wrapped in oiled paper, although many years had passed, it was well preserved, and there was no trace of decay or damage.

In such a suspected gold treasure hiding place, no more than four million taels of gold were found, but such a small book was found, what was recorded in it? Is it related to the treasure of gold?

Because the paper was relatively brittle, Yu Fei didn't dare to push too hard, and carefully turned over the yellowed pages, the words in it were all Japanese, but relying on the tutoring during this time, although there were some rare words, but combined with the context, Yu Fei could also guess its meaning. The content of the text is indeed related to the golden treasure.

"On January 14, the first year of Wanyan, we entered Mt. Akagi. The nearby mountain people have all been evicted, and the whole mountain is empty, and there are no people. The deathly silence in the mountains, the footsteps and wheezing of death row prisoners, seemed so harsh. The head of the Lin University said that he had found the ideal place to hide the treasure, and I went to see it, it was a cave on a cliff, the location was very secret, but it was very difficult to transport the gold up. Let's fix the road first. Starting today, death row inmates began to repair the road to the cave in the mountains. ”

"On 29 January, a second group of 30 death row inmates was brought up to supplement the death row inmates who had fallen to their deaths while building a mountain road in the past few days. The general also came in person, his face was not very good, the situation outside was getting more and more tense, these damn rebels, I really wanted to go into battle and kill them all in person! But the general said that the matter here is more important, and whether the country can continue to survive depends on this batch of gold. Mt. Akagi is easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it the best place to hide treasure. However, I thought that Mt. Akagi would be safe because it was a place where we were heavily garrisoned, and if we lost control of the entire country, Mt. Akagi would fall into the hands of the enemy, no matter how easy it was to defend and difficult to attack. But seeing the general's gray and tired face, I didn't say these words. ”

"On the 23rd of February, 240,000 taels of gold and some gold ornaments were brought from the Imperial Treasury, and the total amount of gold brought from Edo exceeded four million taels! That's an astronomical sum. However, the situation is becoming more and more tense. Often, some rebels rushed to Edo (later renamed Tokyo during the Meiji Emperor's reign). Author's note) is a very dangerous sign that even the army is destabilized! I must remind the general. ”

……

"On March 3, the general was assassinated! This group of traitors actually did such a thing, Almighty Amaterasu, please bless the shogun safely! I was supposed to rush back to Edo, but the shogun sent a messenger telling me that no matter what happens, I must take care of the gold collection! This is our strategic reserve. General, please rest assured, Xiaosu will definitely do a good job in this matter and live up to the general's trust! ”

……

"On the fifth of March, the general died. What am I going to do? What should the state do? The head of Lin University came to me, and he had just gotten the news, and he seemed very hesitant, no, I can't show weakness, and I must complete the general's dying trust. General, please go slowly, Xiao Su will come to you after all this. ”

……

It seems that this should be Kosu Uenosuke's gold collection note! After the assassination of Naobu Ii, Kosu Uenosuke and Lin University head two continue to complete the treasure hunt! Judging from the description of the notes, Kosu Uenojie is very loyal to Ii Naobi, and should be the supreme commander of the Tibetan Gold Scheme! The legendary four million taels of gold really exist, but where has the gold gone? It is very likely that the whereabouts of the four million taels of gold are recorded in this notebook.
