Chapter 8 Treasure Hunting

Geng Chaozhong looked up at the plaque - it was about 3 meters above the ground, and there was nothing around to borrow, so it was really a trouble to go up.

However, there is no way, the key is whether the brand can withstand its own weight.

After staring at the plaque carefully for a while, Geng Chaozhong suddenly thought that if those treasures were indeed placed on it, then the bearing capacity of this plaque must not be low, otherwise, he would not be afraid of the treasures falling?

After thinking about it, Geng Chaozhong turned his head to Wang Tianmu and smiled:

"Brother Tianmu, please make a ladder and tie up a horse step."

Wang Tianmu looked up at the plaque, then at Geng Chaozhong, immediately understood what he meant, walked a few steps, found a place and half-squatted down.

Geng Chaozhong retreated a few steps, until he retreated to the door of the side hall, seven or eight meters away from Wang Tianmu, and then lowered his body, took a deep breath, lowered his head and strode forward vigorously, the soles of his feet only stepped on Wang Tianmu's shoulder, his body rose up like a cloud, waved with one arm, and instantly grabbed the lower edge of the plaque!

Immediately after, Geng Chaozhong's body was like an ape, pulling and jumping, and lightly drilled into the back of the plaque, and the old eunuch Jin next to him was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but applaud and shouted: "Okay!" ”

Wang Tianmu just smiled and didn't say anything, he had seen a lot of Xiao Geng's skills.

Geng Chaozhong drilled behind the plaque, and there was indeed a big burden more than half a person long inside, and he checked it, it was quite heavy, looking at the shape of the baggage, there were calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver and jade and other things in it, Geng Chaozhong did not open it, picked up the burden and jumped down, and fell back to the ground.

"Got it!" Wang Tianmu showed a little smile on his face, and when he saw Geng Chaozhong stretching out his hand to untie his burden, he hurriedly stopped: "Take it back and talk about it." ”

Geng Chaozhong nodded, picked up the burden and walked out, Wang Tianmu grabbed it, and said, "You just go out like this?" ”

"Or else? The Forbidden City has no airport. Geng Chaozhong was at a loss.

Wang Tianmu was speechless, and was about to answer, when the old eunuch Jin next to him suddenly spoke:

"Why don't you go under the palace walls?"

"Below?" Wang Tianmu was stunned again.

"The two of you don't know, after the abdication of the first emperor, those little cubs made some dog holes under the palace wall, and often got things outside, let's go from there, it's more hidden." Eunuch Jin replied.

Geng Chaozhong shook his head, there are robbery holes in the Forbidden City, and it is not a matter after Pu Yi's abdication, as early as after Cixi's death, there were already eunuchs doing these things, others don't know, can they hide it from him? Besides, he knows it, and it is estimated that those eunuchs outside have long known it clearly, isn't this trying to cover it up?

Thinking of this, Geng Chaozhong suddenly glanced at the old eunuch Jin, and the old eunuch couldn't help but tremble when he saw Geng Chaozhong's knife-like eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "The old slave is just giving an opinion, and everything is still up to the two commanders." ”

Geng Chaozhong sneered, this dead eunuch used the same method of dealing with the emperor on himself, but he was not unprepared before he came.

"By the way, I don't know something," Geng Chaozhong suddenly said, "It stands to reason that the old emperor abdicated the throne, and all cultural relics should be in charge of the Republic of China, why are the things in the palace still ....... by these things" Geng Chaozhong coughed slightly, "Father-in-law is in charge?" ”

"Brother, don't you know, the eunuchs in the palace, except for some who followed Pu Yi to Tianjin, most of the rest stayed near the Forbidden City, for this group of people, they can't be killed, they can't be released, they stay here to guard the old things in the Forbidden City, and they can be regarded as making the best use of people, otherwise, if they are taken care of by those who are soldiers, it will be strange if the cultural relics can be left!" Wang Tianmu said with a smile.

"I see." Geng Chaozhong also smiled.

Indeed, the Republic of China blames the status quo, soldiers are not as good as bandits, Sun Dianying guarded Dongling back then, wasn't he a prisoner and a thief? After all, it's really not as good as these eunuchs' insurance!

"Or, according to the old eunuch Jin, let's drill a dog hole?" Wang Tianmu spoke.

"Brother Tianmu, you are a wise man," Geng Chaozhong smiled, "I estimate that the little eunuchs in the palace and the antique shops outside the palace gate have a lot of eyes staring at us." ”

"And what are you going to do?" Wang Tianmu asked.

"Find a place and sell it!" Geng Chaozhong said with a smile.

........

Outside the Peace Gate, Beona Jai antique shop.

"Someone went in?"

A middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper held the teacup in his hand and asked the guy standing next to him.

"Yes, there are two people, it's been a while since they've been in." The guy replied.

"Keep an eye on them, let me know if there's any movement, and find a few more people to watch the dog holes nearby, don't let them run away from there!" The shopkeeper continued.

"Good!" The guy said yes alertly, and walked out quickly.

As soon as the man went out, a person suddenly turned out of the inner room, this person was wearing a green silk robe, stepping on the bottom of a thousand layers, and holding a birdcage in his hand - a typical old Beiping gentleman's dress, but there was a lingering cold and hard color on his face, he glanced outside the door, and said:

"Shopkeeper Qiu, do you think there is something wrong with these two people?"

"Returning to Taijun, the little one thinks there is a problem," the shopkeeper Qiu was full of flattery, "It stands to reason that things have already been shipped, but after such a long time, there are still so many companies of soldiers guarding the gate of the Forbidden City, this is not normal!" Even if Sun Dianying digs Dongling, he will run away after digging, and he will not lead soldiers to guard after digging, is he still afraid that the Forbidden City will have wings and fly? ! ”

"Well, according to what you say, there must still be treasures left in the Forbidden City," the Japanese man dressed as a gentleman nodded, "Also, don't call me Taijun, call me Boss Tian." ”

"Okay, Taijun," as soon as he finished speaking, Shopkeeper Qiu raised his hand and slapped himself, and then said apologetically: "Boss Tian, I have sent someone to keep an eye on them, I am very familiar with this place, and they can't escape." ”

"Don't worry, there are still a lot of Chinese troops outside, keep an eye on people, let's do it again when we get out of the palace." Boss Tian's dark face exuded a cold light from his small eyes.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and the guy who had just gone out suddenly ran back again, and he looked at the shopkeeper Qiu with a nervous expression and shouted:

"Shopkeeper, those two people are coming towards our store!"

"What?!" Shopkeeper Qiu was taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at "Boss Tian" next to him.

Boss Tian's expression was also very strange, but he couldn't allow the two of them to think too much at this time, he waved his hand, signaling Shopkeeper Qiu to act at the opportunity, and he quickly turned into the back hall.

The door was pushed open, a young man and a middle-aged man walked in with a big burden on his back, the guy squeezed out a little smile on his face, and was just about to step forward to greet the guest, only to see the young man raise his eyebrows and wave his hand, only to hear a "bang", a heavy punch smashed on the guy's chin, the guy's smile instantly froze, and he fell to the ground.

The young man was Geng Chaozhong, he closed the door of the store casually, then took out a gun from his pocket, smashed it on the table, looked at the stunned Boss Qiu and said:

"Boss, there are a few things that you have asked you to look at, and you won't refuse, right?"

"Won't refuse, won't refuse." Shopkeeper Qiu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and his heart was full of fear - could it be that the East Window incident happened?

Geng Chaozhong glanced at the shopkeeper Qiu coldly, put the burden in his hand on the table at once, and Wang Tianmu next to him also broke out in a cold sweat - if this is broken, where can I find a ready-made one?

"See for yourself!" Geng Chaozhong gave the shopkeeper an order, then sat on the chair, slowly playing with the pistol in his hand, and occasionally glanced at the forehead of the shopkeeper Qiu, as if thinking about where to fight.

Shopkeeper Qiu wiped a cold sweat again, and untied the burden with trembling hands, there were a lot of things in this baggage, red, red, green, green, gold, silk and silver threads, seven or eight boxes of size; There are also more than a dozen scrolls of calligraphy and painting, which are piled up throughout the round table. Shopkeeper Qiu looked at this, and then at that, he was so dazzled that he didn't know which one to open first.

"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry!" Geng Chaozhong urged impatiently.

Shopkeeper Qiu didn't dare to ink anymore, picked up a box casually, and was just about to open it, when Geng Chaozhong's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Slow!" ”

"I forgot to say something," Geng Chaozhong slowly played with the pistol, "An expert told me that there are three objects in this that are fake, if you want to see one wrong, I will chop off one of your fingers, and if you see three wrong, I will make your palm smaller!" “
