Chapter 327: The Real Vault
"What do you mean, Mr. Wen!?" This scavenger hunt turned out to be a thriller.
"Actually, it was only a small part of the money at the time." Mr. Wen took a sip of tea and said: "At that time, the Tartars had occupied almost the entire territory of the river, to put it bluntly, this part of the donation was just Wei Lan bribing the Tartar officials not to implement the shaving order in the river, no matter how powerful it was?" The real one is the alliance treasury of the Principality of Weilan. ”
"The alliance treasury of the Eastern Sea Alliance?"
"Well, back then, the Weilan Principality was the only principality with the blood of the former Ming Dynasty, the Huaxia princes of the East China Sea Alliance, and the slogan at that time was to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, so they paid for it, and donated a lot of gold and silver treasures to the Weilan Principality, ready to recruit troops."
"Preparing for a rebellion?"
"Well, but at that time, the incident in Hejian was too close to Yandu, so I planned to go to Guanzhong to recruit troops."
"Makes sense!"
"So with this donation, I plan to transfer the treasury to Guanzhong."
"During this period, in order to reassure the Tartars, this donation incident was rumored, so whether a large number of treasure chests were loaded on the ship or transported, it would not arouse suspicion."
Qiu Zhen nodded, trying to adapt to this train of thought.
"And many of the Sorkin princes of the Sorkin Brotherhood also plan to bribe the officials of the Manchu court to restore the former titles, and many treasures will be transported together." All need to pay or trust the Duchy of Weilan to manage the wealth. This vault is quite amazing. ”
"Uh, they've been cheated too?"
Wen Buyi said with a smile: "It can't be said that I was deceived, but at that time, everyone believed in Wei Lan's donation." Some people who want to take advantage of the situation just want to take a ride on the pole. ”
"Well, then this treasure is quite valuable."
"Indeed, it stands to reason that the goal of this treasure is Guanzhong, which is naturally convenient for water transportation. Therefore the treasure of the vault must go through the waterway. ”
"If it is a pack horse, and there are so many treasures, I am afraid that thousands more animals will be carried around."
"Yes, so on the night of the feast lake, resting must be the time for the donation and the diversion of the treasury."
"Are you saying that when the ship arrived at Yanhu, the treasury was divided into two, one part going north, and the other being transferred to the West Canal?"
"It should be so, but I don't know what happened that night, all the treasures, it's gone." Wen Buyi recalled: "As far as I know, even Guanzhong has never had a decent act. It can be asserted that the treasure did not reach Guanzhong. ”
"Will it be in Xiqu, or Guanzhong?"
"Probably not, such a big thing, if it is something else, it will be a little rumored. If there is just a problem with the donation, there is no need for the ancestor of the Qiu family to apologize for his crimes, even if he smashes the pot and sells iron, he can donate it again. It must have been the most important part of the entire transport operation that went wrong, and it was not enough for him not to die to thank the world. ”
Speaking of the life and death of his ancestors, Qiu Zhen couldn't help but be silent.
"The hell is it the three guards?"
"Not necessarily, such a large amount of treasure, rich enough to rival the country, with the ability of Duke Weilan back then, it is impossible not to dispose of the ancestors of the three guards, you must know that they were just small guards at that time, and they were not considered princes."
"That's right, the ancestors of the Qiu family have all cut themselves, but they are fine, obviously the problem is not with them!"
"What's going on then?"
"I made an inference."
"Mr. Wen, please speak."
"First of all, the Principality of Weilan transferred the treasury, this kind of thing is unlikely to let the guard generals know, only the ancestor of the Qiu family should know about it."
"Secondly, some of the incidental contributions made by the princes of Sorkin are only to confuse all parties, and it is very likely that they are private."
"In the end, maybe the three guards were unwilling to promote this donation, so when they were in Beiqu, they exchanged gold and silver for stones, and by the way, they also exchanged Suojin's donation, otherwise it would have been stolen, which is obviously unreasonable."
In other words, most of the treasury was diverted to the West Canal during the feasting of the lake. And the three guards, or the Duchy of Weilan, didn't plan to donate money to the puppet dynasty, so they simply took Suokin's donation with them? ”
"That makes sense, but this should be the idea of the three guards, otherwise how would the three of them be able to make a fortune? This part of the money did not reach Weilan. ”
"It's possible, it's possible. The three guards didn't want the duke to give money, so they did it privately, and then put the blame on the Sorkin Brotherhood? ”
"Why was the merchant's land transport attacked?" Qiu Zhen asked.
Mr. Wen thought for a while: "This may be another story, it may be nothing more than someone in the merchant guard team who betrayed the information, causing the masters of the rivers and lakes to besiege and kill!" ”
"Take my investigation, at that time, the merchant team also had a lot of Suojin donations, and those Suojin princes mainly wanted to follow Wei Lan's team all the way north, as for taking the mountain road or the waterway, they probably wouldn't care. The team of Yimeng Mountain Road was robbed and killed by the rebels in the river, and perhaps someone in the team revealed the route and whereabouts. As a result, the treasures along the way also disappeared in the vast mountains of Yimeng. ”
"Oh!" Qiu Zhen suddenly realized, that is to say, there was a problem with both routes, which caused the current situation of true and false Yimeng treasures.
In fact, Wen Buyi's analysis is close to the real situation of that year.
Wei Lan's donation to the Tartars back then was actually on the mountain route.
The waterway seems to be the ancestor of the Qiu family and a good soldier, but it is actually used to protect the treasure house of the matter.
After disembarking at the lake, the treasure house of the event.
The treasures entrusted by the Suojin people to transport them were hacked by the ancestor of the Qiu family.
After it was dark, soon the ancestor of the Qiu family returned to Yanhu and learned that the real treasure house was missing, so he hurried back to Bibo City to restore his life, which was very important, so he didn't care about the hacked treasure and cut himself.
The ancestor of the Qiu family cut himself, and the three guards took a look, don't you want the treasure? He's dead?
They didn't know why, so they hid the treasure and didn't dare to go back to their lives.
After waiting for a few years, the duke did not see them accountable, so he had the audacity to divide the treasure.
Each embarked on the road to making a fortune.
"And what about the real treasure trove?"
"I guess it's in Yanhu!"
"Still feasting on the lake?"
"Well, the vault is huge, so it stands to reason that you shouldn't get off the boat and go straight to the West Canal."
"Makes sense! As the leader of the Qiu family, he can only go north. ”
"So the boat stayed in the area of Yanhu and waited for him to come back."
"Or some other reliable person going west!"
"But I should have been wandering around Weishan Lake for a few days!"
"Oh? Why! ”
"I have listened to a lot of books, all of which say that on the day of the donation, the wind and rain were blowing, the thunder and lightning were everywhere, the sky was angry and people were resentful, and I felt that the Duke of Weilan had forgotten his ancestors, but as soon as the box was opened, it was full of stones, and the weather suddenly improved."
"It's all a joke!"
"I've checked some records of that year, and it was indeed this kind of weather in those days!"
"Ah, you mean the ship sank?"
"Yes, if the ancestor of the Qiu family is hiding his secrets, why doesn't Duke Weilan kill your nine clans? Why did the ancestor of the Qiu family return to Bibo City to cut himself? ”
"Huh! Why did we leave the ancestral training to let us be loyal to Wei Lan for generations, because the ancestor knew that Wei Lan did not defect to the Qing court back then, and he was still thinking about the recovery plan in private! It's a pity that it was misunderstood for 200 years because of the donation. ”
"Indeed, the treasury fell into the water, the money was gone, the people were gone, and the credibility was indisputable, so it was too cost-effective to say that Duke Er Zhu of Weilan was ashamed that his calculations were too cost-effective, and he died of illness the next year."
"Huh! No one can stand it. Qiu Zhen bowed deeply in the direction of Bibo City, and bowed to the two "frustrated people" back then.
"This is also to do their best to obey the destiny of heaven." Wen Buyi sighed deeply.
"Then why do you say that the vault fell into Weishan Lake, shouldn't it be the North Canal?"
"In fact, it's all possible, but the North Canal is narrow in the end, and if it really falls into the water in the North Canal, it is not impossible to salvage." Wen Buyi knocked on the table: "It is very likely that when the boat was in doubt on the lake, a strong wind came, so no one knew where it sank." ”
"Maybe that's the case, otherwise the ancestor wouldn't need to cut himself."
"It's really a trick!"
