Chapter 14 The Treasure Hunting Plan

After listening to Song Zheng's words, Old Man Zheng fell silent, and then sighed: "They still found out." Song Zheng asked suspiciously, "What did you find?" ”

Old man Zheng didn't answer Song Zheng's words, but asked, "Little guy, let me ask, what day is today?" ”

Song Zheng said: "Today is August 11, and it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days." ”

Old man Zheng asked again, "Has the little guy ever read?" Do you know the history of the Great Qi Dynasty? Can you tell me about that? ”

An old man in the countryside, why do you care about history? Intuition told him that this old man Zheng might not be simple, Song Zheng didn't dare to ask more, but said: "I have read history books for a while, and I still know a little about the history of Daqi." After Dajin destroyed Liao, he waved his army south, and the Taizu of our Great Qi Dynasty started an incident in the Daimyo's mansion......" Old man Zheng waved his hand to interrupt Song Zheng's words and said: "Since you know history, you should know King Lu, so you can start talking about it after King Lu was defeated." ”

Song Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "After Taizong of this dynasty destroyed Queen Lu, he prepared to attack Bashu. However, due to the difficulty of Shu Road, Taizong fought hard for two years, and was about to attack the hinterland of Sichuan and Shu, when the Western Xia occupying Guanzhong suddenly entered the Central Plains, echoing with Shu, Taizong Tuchuan was unsuccessful, so he had to stabilize the northern frontier first. Taizong sent the Western Xia army, which was approaching Xijing (present-day Luoyang), back to Tongguan. Then, after ending the civil strife, the Dajin Kingdom invaded the south from the former capital of the former dynasty, Tokyo Bianliang (now Kaifeng), and Taizong led his army to drive it back to the north of the Yellow River after several years of hard fighting, stabilizing the northern border. Later, Taizong tried to map Sichuan several times, but failed due to the interference of the Western Xia army. After years of conquest, the people's livelihood withered, our Great Qi Dynasty was unable to restore the territory of the previous Great Song Dynasty, the north of the Yellow River was returned to the Jin State, and the Western Xia occupied the Qinfeng Road of the former Dynasty, including Guanzhong. Lang Yucheng, the king of Shu, guarded the Sichuan land and was also proclaimed emperor during the reign of Taizong. The Dali Duan clan in the southwest has been declared a minister during the time of Taizong. ”

Song Zheng finished this history concisely, and the old man Zheng said: "Dongfeng is not with Zhou Lang, and Tongque Chun is deeply locked with Erqiao." Alas! He sighed, looking lonely.

Hey! This old man is still a cultural person, and even Du Mu's "Red Cliff" knows it, and he actually sighs about the rise and fall of history. Song Zheng felt more and more that Old Man Zheng was mysterious.

After a while, Old Man Zheng said, "Little guy, go back, don't worry about me." Song Zheng hurriedly said: "Grandpa Zheng, how can you do that?" How can I leave you here alone? I'll still carry you back, and if you want to come back tomorrow, I'll carry you up the mountain again. ”

Old man Zheng looked at Song Zheng: "Why are you so good to me?" ”

Song Zheng said in his heart: The ghost is willing to take care of you, if it weren't for you, I would have gone to Maling Lake to play a long time ago. However, the words of the famous good boy Song Xiaogongzi were: "Grandpa Zheng, I think of my grandfather when I see you, he is also a little unwell." "It's not all a lie, Old Man Song is indeed a little out of spirit this morning.

"Then you pity me?" Old man Zheng said again.

"I ......" Song Zheng was speechless for a while, and said in his heart: You old man is too unpicked, and the master really pities you. However, Song Zheng couldn't say the word "pitiful", and if these two words were spoken, it would hurt Old Man Zheng's self-esteem. In fact, Old Man Zheng looks like this, how can he have any self-esteem at all.

Old man Zheng couldn't help but smile when he saw Song Zheng's face swollen red, revealing his only two remaining teeth: "Don't be annoyed, little guy, I know you are kind." Come, tell me about the situation in our village. I've been a little confused all these years, and I don't know anything. ”

Song Zheng was a little curious about this sloppy old man, so he put down what he had just done and told him some of the situation in Songjiazhuang.

After hearing this, Old Man Zheng thought for a while and said, "You little guy has a good heart, so let's do something for me, if it is done, I will give you a big opportunity." ”

Big chance? Could it have something to do with those people down the mountain just now? Song Zheng asked suspiciously: "What can I do as a child?" ”

Old man Zheng smiled: "You still climb the mountain before the end of tomorrow, those people just now will definitely come, you watch what they do on the mountain, and then tell me." Let's go back. ”

Song Zheng said in his heart, what is this, why don't you just climb a mountain, just exercise. So Song Zheng nodded.

Old man Zheng said, "Good boy, let's go." After speaking, Old Man Zheng struggled to get up, and Song Zheng hurriedly supported him and slowly descended the mountain back to the village. Nearly an hour later, the two moved to the foot of the mountain, and the old man Zheng said: "The road ahead is flat, I can walk by myself, little guy, you go back first." Song Zheng nodded and walked back with a lot of worry.

When she first entered the village, Xiaoping came anxiously and saw Song Zheng and said, "Little master, where have you gone?" It's time for lunch, and my mistress has told me to come and find you. Song Zheng nodded and returned home with Xiaoping.

At lunchtime, Song Zheng asked the old man Song about the old man Zheng, and the old man Song said: "The old man Zheng was originally a person from our village, his parents died early, he went out to wander for many years when he was young, and when he came back, he was wooden, and he didn't talk to anyone. This person is too weird, Zheng'er will meet him in the future, don't pay attention to him. ”

Song Zheng nodded and ate with peace of mind.

Stone Mountain Town, Yuelai Inn.

The boy in white and the old man in black sat opposite each other in a room. The man in white said, "Old Lu, are you ready?" ”

The old man in black, known as Lu Lao, said: "Second son, rest assured, the manpower has been arranged, the sea boats on the side of Rizhao Town have also been prepared, and the big car from Yizhou (now Linyi, Shandong) will arrive at Maling Lake on time tomorrow morning." Our side also passed early in the morning. After the things are released, the real goods will be transported to the ship, and the fake goods will follow the coast, going to Haizhou and Lianshui. ”

The second prince nodded and said: "Lu Lao, early tomorrow morning, put the people ten miles away from the north and south of the treasure hunting site, and every mountain road on the West Mountain must be sealed, so that they can change into official government clothes. Be careful, don't make a fuss. ”

Lu Lao said: "The second son is thinking about it, and I will arrange it immediately." With that, he turned around and went out.

After a while, Lu Lao came in and nodded to the second son, indicating that everything had been arranged. The second son said: "This treasure digging, if we didn't already know the location of the treasure, it would be really difficult to find." According to Jiao Da and Jiao Er, who went into the water, the bottom of the lake was full of rocks, rugged, and the treasure was only a few more rocks. But those nets are already rotten. Tomorrow you can remove the stones that are pressed on the chest. ”

Lu Lao said: "Fortunately, the lake is not too deep, otherwise, the trouble will be even greater." In addition, the box containing the treasure is made of ash, which is not afraid of blisters, and if it is an ordinary wooden box, I am afraid that it will have already rotted. ”

The second son said, "How to make treasures, does Lu Lao have a countermeasure?" ”

Lu Lao nodded and said, "Tomorrow, after the thirty black eagles go into the water, tie the ropes to the wooden box. In addition, when we go tomorrow, we will bring some wood and make a temporary raft, and then we can drag the treasure chest to the raft and carry it to the shore. According to Jiang Da's deathbed words, the first batch of treasures had ten boxes, which were very heavy, and they also took a lot of effort to drop the treasures. Luckily, the boxes were placed side by side at the bottom of the lake, so we were able to work in groups at the same time. If the boxes and rocks were piled up into a small mountain, it would be more troublesome to fish. ”

The second son nodded and said, "That's very good, the key depends on tomorrow." Lu Lao also nodded and did not speak.

After getting up the next morning, Song Zheng did not immediately run to Maling Lake, it was still too early, Song Zheng just went to the west mountainside boulder to practice boxing as planned, and then went home for breakfast. Old Man Song was still not in good spirits, Song Zheng didn't ask much, said hello to his family after dinner, and walked to Xishan again. Walking halfway up the mountain road, Song Zheng met Zheng Laosan, who often fished in the village, and was coming down from the mountain dejectedly. Zheng Laosan obviously knew Song Zheng, although he was a little surprised, but he still said: "Little boy, don't go up, there are official officials from the government on the other side of the mountain, and those who meet the mountain are all driven back." ”

Song Zheng was stunned for a moment, and looked at the top of the ridge, and sure enough, there was a big man in official clothes standing there, staring at the mountain road down.

Song Zheng said to Zheng Laosan: "Brother Zheng, what is the official of the government doing?" ”

Zheng Laosan said: "How do I know, I was driven back before I climbed to the top of the mountain, how dare we ordinary people ask more about the affairs of the government." ”

Song Zheng nodded, and said in his heart, it turns out that even the mountain road has been blocked, how can this be good? Old man Zheng said that there is a big opportunity, maybe he can really give me some treasure, it would be a pity if I gave up. Thinking of this, he said to Zheng Laosan: "Brother Zheng, you go down first, I'll rest here for a while, and I'll go back after a while." ”

Zheng Laosan nodded, and walked down the mountain dejectedly. Song Zheng stayed for a while, then walked down the mountain, and saw that the big man on the top of the mountain couldn't see the work, so he plunged into the dense forest, and then carefully climbed up. Due to his short stature, Song Zheng easily used rocks or bushes to avoid the big man's sight. Coupled with the habit of being a thief in his previous life, Song Zheng did not make a sound, and smoothly climbed to the top of the ridge, crawled down forty or fifty meters away from Dahan, and raised his head to look down the mountain.

There are more than a dozen big cars parked at the foot of the mountain, and there are a hundred and ten big men who are busy working there. Some of them carried logs down from the carts, some nailed rafts there, and twenty or thirty people were in the lake, constantly ventilating and diving. There were two people commanding by the lake, it was the man in white and the old man in black that I saw yesterday.

After a while, five rafts were made and released into the lake, and on each raft stood a dozen or so big men, slowly paddling towards the diving place of the men. At this time, the big diving men all came up, each with a thick rope in their hands. (Ask for tickets, ask for collections, welcome to comment.) )
