Chapter 282: The Secret of Hidden Treasures

"Miao Lao, is there anything else worth talking about this Ma Xinyi?"

Qin Feng looked at Miao Liuzhi with some doubts, although Ma Xinyi was quite an official in the Qing court at that time, his power and reputation in later generations were far inferior to Li Hongzhang's generation, and even Zhang Zhidong was not comparable.

So Qin Feng didn't understand why Miao Liuzhi was so interested in Ma Xinyi's house, if he wanted to say that the thief was not empty, the one in front of him was the real thief ancestor, Miao Liuzhi must have his reason for doing this.

Hearing Qin Feng's question, Miao Liuzhi didn't sell it, and said: "Master Qin, what you said is right, Ma Xinyi's career is the ...... that came with the pacification of the Taiping Army."

In 1853 (the third year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty), when Ma Xinyi was appointed as the magistrate of Hefei, he led troops to quell the rebellion of the Taiping army with Yuan Jiasan, the minister of the Qin Mission, and broke through the Shengjiaqiao, Sanhe Town and other strongholds occupied by the Taiping army.

Later, the city of Luzhou was occupied by the Taiping army, and he recruited Xiao Yong to train in order to restore it.

Because the Taiping army just arrived, Ma Xinyi temporarily avoided its edge, and then took advantage of its unpreparedness, burned the Taiping military camp at night, defeated the Taiping army, captured Luzhou, and because of the meritorious service in pacifying the Taiping army, he was promoted to the prefect of Luzhou.

In the eighth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty, when Ma Xinyi was appointed as the envoy, Shucheng, Lu'an and other prefectures and counties were lost, Chen Yucheng led the army to attack Luzhou, and Ma Xinyi accompanied the Qing officers and soldiers to meet the battle, and was defeated by the Taiping army.

Luzhou was reoccupied by the Taipings. Therefore, he was dismissed by the Qing government and retained, and when he was ten years old in the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Jiasanbao, the minister of the Qin Mission, promoted Ma Xinyi to be reinstated.

In the first year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Ma Xinyi went home to mourn for 100 days, went to the camp to handle military affairs, and prepared the road in Luzhou, Fengyang and Yingchuan.

After that, Ma Xinyi rose all the way. In February of the seventh year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, he was appointed governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and in August he was appointed governor of Liangjiang and minister of trade and commerce.

But looking at Ma Xinyi's family history, he has a continuous relationship with the Taiping Army. Until he was stabbed to death, there was still the shadow of the Taiping Army.

"Miao Lao, this surname Ma is very powerful."

Xie Xuan, who was driving, listened with relish, his favorite thing in Jintian Antique Street used to be to listen to books, but he rarely talked about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

"Lao Miao, what are you talking about?"

Qin Feng didn't understand what Miao Liuzhi meant, Ma Xinyi had been dead for one hundred and twenty or thirty years, how did he have a fart relationship with himself?

"Master Qin, do you know how Ma Xinyi died?" Miao Liuzhi smiled but did not answer.

"What does it matter to me how he died?"

Qin Feng shook his head. If he could survive until now, maybe Qin Feng would be surprised, but how he died, it had nothing to do with himself.

"Ma Xinyi died at the hands of Cixi!"

Miao Liuzhi's eyes flashed, this secret had been buried in his heart for more than half a century, and it was the first time he had told it to outsiders.

"Cixi? Cixi killed a lot of people back then, so what is there to mention about the old lady? ”

Qin Feng was a little unimpressed by Miao Liuzhi's words, and saw that the car had arrived at Panjiayuan. So he waved his hand and said, "Lao Miao, let's go to the store first." I will give you a sum of two million, and you will go and trade with Ma Yuetian tomorrow. ”

"You, okay, don't regret it." Miao Liuzhi was almost suffocated by Qin Feng's internal injuries, and it was easy to want to tell this old secret, but Qin Feng didn't want to listen to it.

The old man was angry. simply didn't say anything, got out of the car and came to "True Jade Fang", looked for the finance to say, the finance hurriedly went to the bank, Qin Feng made a few copies of his ID card. That's when you're idle.

"Old Miao, your story is not finished yet, Cixi old lady, why do you want to kill Ma Xinyi?"

Qin Feng forgot about the stubble, but Xie Xuan, who likes to listen to stories, remembered it in his heart, and after a few people went up to the second floor to make a pot of tea, he brought out the topic again.

"Someone doesn't want to listen to ......" Miao Liuzhi glanced at Qin Feng and said angrily: "The old man still doesn't want to say it." ”

"Old Miao, don't provoke me, I'm really not interested in this paragraph......" Qin Feng smiled and poured a cup of tea for Miao Liuzhi, and said: "It happened more than a hundred years ago, what does it have to do with us?" ”

Qin Feng is now waiting for the finance to handle the money, and tomorrow he and Xie Xuan will go their separate ways.

In addition to the 2.4 million yuan in dividends and the 2 million yuan for the purchase of the courtyard, the remaining 16,700 million yuan must be taken out.

You must know that there is also a part of Fang Yazhi's payment in this money, and when it comes to such a large amount of money, Qin Feng is a little absent-minded about other things.

"Master Qin, don't say it, it really has something to do with us."

Miao Liuzhi also saw that Qin Feng's mind was not on this, and he was not fighting at the moment, so he said directly: "Ma Xinyi once received a secret order from Cixi back then, asking him to investigate the treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. ”

"The treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?"

Hearing the words zuihou in Miao Liu's words, Qin Feng, who was still absent-minded, suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Old Miao, is it really fake?" The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has plundered countless times, but the Zuihou treasure doesn't know where to go, is it in the hands of Ma Xinyi? ”

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was a leading group composed of Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui, Feng Yunshan, Wei Changhui and Shi Dakai in Jintian Village, Guangxi Province to launch an armed confrontation against the Manchu court, and later established the country as "Taiping Tianyuan", and captured Jinling in 1853, known as Tianjing.

At that time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom swept almost half of China, making Aixin Jueluo unstable, although Zuihou failed, but the eight-year war made the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom plunder huge wealth.

You must know that at that time, almost all of the richest provinces in the country were conquered by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and they also made their own currency and foreign trade, and established a sacred treasury to store treasures.

It's just that after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fell apart, the treasures in the sacred treasury disappeared mysteriously, and no matter how the Qing court interrogated and caught the important members of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it failed to force the whereabouts of those treasures.

In later generations, even the copper coins circulating in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were very few in existence, so they were also particularly valuable, and it can be said that all the things about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were a mystery. As for those treasures, they are even more mysteries.

"I don't know if it's not in Ma Xinyi's hands." Miao Liuzhi shook his head and said, "But I believe that Ma Xinyi knows the treasures that have been ......."

"Then why haven't you heard anything about the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for more than a hundred years?"

Qin Feng took a deep breath, what Miao Liuzhi said was really shocking. Whoever gets those treasures can be said to become rich and invincible in no time.

"I have to start from the beginning, I can't eat hot tofu if I'm in a hurry......" Seeing Qin Feng's anxious appearance, Miao Liuzhi laughed, but he still told the matter 1510.

It turned out that in the war to exterminate the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Zeng Guofan's Hunan army group expanded rapidly, and its military strength was second to none in China, which also made the Qing court feel uneasy.

Empress Dowager Cixi promoted Ma Xinyi. It is the intention of restricting Zeng Guofan.

But the Empress Dowager Cixi never expected that Ma Xinyi was respectful to the imperial court on the surface, but in fact, he had a very good personal relationship with Zeng Guofan, and his military group had faint signs of integration with the Hunan army.

The Qing Dynasty only tens of thousands of horses entered the customs, and since they sat on the country, they have been wary of and restricted by the Han people, and Cixi got the secret report. Immediately, he was moved with murderous intent.

In front of Jiangshan Sheji, no treasure is naturally important.

What came to be the so-called stinging horse case. In fact, Cixi did it in order to prevent Ma Xinyi from uniting with Zeng Guofan, and while cutting off one of Zeng Guofan's arms, she also warned the other party.

"Lao Miao, what does this have to do with the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?"

Qin Feng didn't hear anything he was interested in for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "Don't talk about irrelevant things, and." How do you know this? It is said that the records of the assassins are still kept in the Forbidden City Museum. ”

The murderer of Ma Xinyi is called Zhang Wenxiang, according to his confession, it was because Ma Xinyi did not accept his case, which ruined his family, and Ma Xinyi explicitly forbade Zhang Wenxiang to open a pawnshop. cut off his way of life, and then assassinated the other party.

This record was kept in the Forbidden City Museum and has always been kept in the Forbidden City, but later generations verified that Zhang Wenxiang had a background in the Taiping Army, so there is a theory of assassination due to revenge.

But the reason that Miao Liuzhi said, Qin Feng heard of it for the first time, this has risen to the level of national strife, and it must not be spread among the people.

"What's the use of that confession? Is there still less confusion in history? ”

Miao Liuzhi smiled disappreciatively and said, "According to the information I know, Ma Xinyi found the treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and also drew a treasure map, but since his death, the treasure map has disappeared......

What Miao Liuzhi said next really touched on the core of this secret, and as for how he knew, it was also a very accidental thing.

The matter dates back to more than 50 years ago, when Miao Liuzhi was in the capital preparing to assassinate his senior brother Yanzi Li San, in order to hide his whereabouts, he lived all day long in the place where the nine streams gathered in the outer city at that time.

In the small courtyard house rented by Miao Liuzhi, there lived an old man over ninety years old, this old man had no children and no daughters, and he was very pitiful.

Miao Liuzhi pitied his old age and was sad about his master's experience, so he served the old man with all his heart and soul for more than a month, and on the day before the old man died, he told him a shocking secret.

It turned out that the old man was called Li Santai, born in 1848, due to the large number of brothers in the family, the poor could not open the pot, when Li Santai was ten years old, after being cut by his father, he spent money to send him to the palace as a eunuch.

To say that Li Santai has been very smart and clever since he was a child, and in just seven or eight years after entering the palace, he was sent to serve the Empress Dowager Xi, who was in power at that time...... Empress.

I'm afraid that Li Lianying's eggs haven't been cut yet, Li Santai is very favored with Cixi, and it can be regarded as infinitely beautiful.

But within a month after one night, Li Santai and the hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs who were with Cixi at that time were suddenly transferred to some inconsequential places, which could be regarded as entering the cold palace.

Others don't know the reason, but Li Santai, who happened to serve Cixi by him that night, knew that the Empress Dowager Cixi met Ma Xinyi that day.

And out of curiosity, Li Santai heard some conversations between the two, and the content of the conversation was that Ma Xinyi told Cixi that he had found out the news of the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he would draw a treasure map to present to the Empress Dowager Xi.

After Ma Xinyi left that day, Li Santai overheard that Cixi arranged for someone to kill Ma Xinyi, which scared him a lot, and it took several days to return to normal.

However, since ancient times, eunuchs and palace maids in the palace. There is a tradition of "eating together".

The so-called "anti-food" refers to the fact that the eunuch and the palace maid comfort each other in order to relieve loneliness, so everyone falls in love in private and forms a form of husband and wife, friends, and family.

The palace maids and eunuchs who "eat on the other side" usually eat together and take care of each other, forming a relationship of mutual trust between the other party and the other party going to pay respects every year after the death of one party.

Li Santai naturally also has a good relationship with "food". And it was a palace maid who Cixi served closely.

Because he was young and favored and wanted to show off in front of the "opposite food" palace maid, Li Santai told the palace maid about the hidden treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in a casual chat with the "opposite food" palace maid.

But what Li Santai didn't expect was that his "anti-food" tone was very lax, and it actually spread in the palace, and Zuihou reached Cixi's ears.

At that time, Cixi was furious and arrested the palace maid for interrogation, but Li Santai's "right food" was affectionate and righteous, and he didn't confess him. Just said that he overheard.

The Empress Dowager Ci'an was still alive, and Cixi was not able to cover the sky with one hand, and she was not as brutal as later generations, so she only killed a few palace maids, and replaced a group of people who served her.

Li Santai, who knew that he had fallen into a monstrous disaster, had a great change in personality since then, and he never dared to say more, and he cautiously changed from a little eunuch to an old eunuch.

When the Qing Dynasty fell. Li Santai, who was already sixty or seventy years old at that time, was kicked out of the palace. The eunuch could not go home to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and Li Santai, who still had a few surplus money in his hand, lived alone in that small courtyard.

This assassination mystery case of that year, Li Santai has always been buried deep in his heart, and he never dared to say anything to people until the zuihou moment of his life. only then did he tell Miao Liuzhi who served him.

As for Miao Liuzhi, it is also the fundamental things that Li Santai said, and then in connection with the social situation at the time, he analyzed the situation of Ma Xinyi's assassination.

After all, Ma Xinyi and Zeng Guofan were powerful at that time, and Cixi still needed to take a certain risk if she wanted to kill Ma Xinyi openly. That's why people arranged this assassination.

"Lao Miao, is this what happened in the stabbing horse case?"

Rao is Qin Feng heard Master Zaiyu say a lot of secrets in the Qing court back then, and he was also stunned by Miao Liuzhi's statement, I don't know what kind of expression those who study history will have if they know about it?

Taking a deep breath, Qin Feng opened his mouth and said, "Old Miao, do you suspect that Ma Xinyi hid the so-called treasure map in his home in the capital?" ”

"I don't know, I don't even know if there's a treasure map."

Miao Liuzhi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Ma Xinyi is a very bold person, since he dares to secretly communicate with Zeng Guofan, he also lied to Cixi, I just suspect that he has already made a treasure map."

Soon after Ma Xinyi met Cixi, he was assassinated in office, and for more than 100 years, the treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has never appeared, indicating that it is neither in the hands of Cixi nor Zeng Guofan, but not born......"

Miao Liuzhi said this, Qin Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly, he had completely understood what Miao Liuzhi meant, and he dared to love this old boy who was not sure about anything, but was even gambling and guessing.

"Come on, Lao Miao, what you said is too unreliable."

Qin Feng shook his head and said, "Not to mention whether there is a treasure map, even if there is, Ma Xinyi will take it with him......

Let's take a step back, even if Ma Xinyi is placed in his old house, more than a hundred years have passed, and at least a dozen groups of people have been replaced in it, do you think others won't be able to find out? ”

"Master Qin, isn't this just a gamble?"

After hearing Qin Feng's words, Miao Liuzhi smiled and said, "I also know that the chance is slim, but since Ma Xinyi is involved in the investigation of the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there is some hope......

In fact, Miao Liu pointed out that he didn't have much hope for this, but he knew about it by chance, and happened to meet the descendants of the Ma family who wanted to sell the ancestral house, so he connected them together. (To be continued......)
