104. Discovery
At this time, it was already 10 p.m.
Yang Bo led the people of Dali Temple to cooperate with the Jinyi Guard, and questioned the officials and some defenders of Taicang, and found that after the million taels of gold were put into the warehouse, they had never been put forward to the treasury, and in the past five years, Taicang had never put forward a record of millions of taels of gold, and in the past five years, although the gold proposed by Taicang in the court was as many as a dozen times, it still added up to less than one million taels.
There are only two possibilities for this million taels of gold, one is that the gold has never been put into storage, and the other is that the gold is still in Taicang.
If it is the first type, Yang Bo can't imagine in his heart, what a big force it is, and it must have been transferred to Luoyang, the origin of these gold, and these gold are stored in three times, and there are no problems along the way for three consecutive times, and the officials of the household department must cooperate to pass the inspection, and the officials of the inner warehouse and the domestic slaves of the royal family must cooperate to enter Taicang, and they must deal with the regular inspection of Taicang, so that they can only be discovered until now, and none of the links can go wrong, otherwise it will be wasted. What a force!
Yang Bo was sitting on a chair in Taicang at this time, thinking carefully, and he quickly ruled out this kind of thought, because if there were people of this kind of power, they would not be able to take such a risk for the sake of this gold, and besides, he could only think that there was only one person in Daqian, who could do it.
Then there is only the second possibility, this gold is still in Taicang. Because of such a huge amount of gold, it is shipped out at one time, or it is shipped out many times, and there will always be clues, but until now, he still hasn't found anything, which means that the gold is still in Taicang, but it is just hidden, so where is it?
As soon as Yang Bo thought about it, he understood, underground!
Only underground could hide such a huge amount of gold, because he couldn't think of any other place where such a huge amount of gold could be hidden.
But Taicang is so big, where did the masterminds of this matter hide all this gold?
Yang Bo couldn't think of it for a while, he couldn't dig Taicang again, this was unrealistic, time-consuming and laborious, and within ten days, he would never find these disappeared gold.
You must know that this Taicang, from the beginning of the establishment of the country, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Beijing camp, put down their weapons, picked up tools, divided into two waves, in the case of sufficient materials, worked day and night for three months, only to build the foundation of today's Taicang, and after the expansion and renovation of the past dynasties, it was formed today's Taicang, such a huge scale of Taicang, want to dig it in ten days, that is unrealistic.
So how do you find the missing gold?
Yang Bo had a headache, and what if this batch of gold was hidden in different places in batches, which made him a little blind.
Time passed minute by minute, the sun went down, and the dark night shrouded the brightly lit Taicang tonight, a light and a dark complement each other, revealing a different meaning.
Yang Bo stood in a room in Taicang, in the dim light, he frowned, he paced, in the small room, walking around, carefully thinking about where this gold was hidden? And how can you find it?
What about luring the snake out of the hole? Let these planners jump out on their own?
He gave up on the thought, it wasn't realistic, and who knew if they would come as planned? There are too many variables to be advisable.
Yang Bo slowly limped, and when he thought about it again, he found that he had overlooked a problem.
Now that the gold is in storage, how is it being shipped out without even knowing it?
Then it is most likely to be transshipped only from underground.
Could it be that the gold has already been shipped out of Taicang?
Impossible, the geographical location of Taicang, the area covered, there are two huge barracks on the left and right, and the vault is located in the very center of Taicang, if you want to work underground, it takes too long, consumes too much material resources, and you want to dig such a huge underground passage, and it is really too difficult to be discovered, he denied his guess at once.
And he hadn't even visited the vault where the gold was stored until now, which was too undeserved!
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up!
Immediately, dozens of people were gathered and went straight to the vault to see if their guess was true.
Once you reach the vault, head straight to vault three, because this vault is the vault where the lost gold is stored.
As soon as you enter this vault, it gives people a feeling of emptiness, empty and large, this vault is located underground, cold and silent, and there is already a little bit of gold at this time.
Yang Bo stood in the middle of this vault, looked carefully, and found that the walls on all sides of this vault were made of stone bricks and triple soil, and there were more than a dozen large pillars that did not know what material stood in the vault irregularly, and the floor of the vault was paved with a layer of black floor, which looked like metal, but Yang Bo did not recognize what material it was, and as for the top floor of the vault, it was a dense grid. This is clearly a very well-built vault.
Yang Bo stood in the middle of the No. 3 vault, looked around carefully, and couldn't see anything, before he commanded loudly: "You guys take a closer look at this official, what is different about this vault." You all know how huge the disappearance of one million taels of gold is, and how difficult it is to make so much gold disappear from the vault of gold for no reason. The official suspects that there must be some underground passage in this vault, you take a good look and find anything different, so tell the official, and the official will definitely record your merits, find the gold, you are the hero, and the official will not be stingy to recommend you in front of His Majesty, and then you will be promoted and knighted, let's start! ”
When the others heard this, they were immediately excited, and immediately shouted loudly: "No! "No!" "No!" I started to work with great energy.
And Yang Bo also drew his saber and set an example, knocking it on the ground, wanting to hear what difference there was in this sound.
All of a sudden, in this vault, there was a sound of banging and banging.
But an hour later, Yang Bo and the others still didn't find anything, so Yang Bo let hundreds of brocade guards enter the vault and began to inspect again, and another hour passed, and still nothing was found.
He was a little disappointed for a while, could it be that he guessed wrong? It's impossible, if you don't get the gold out of the vault like this, how else can you get the gold out of the vault?
Yang Bo lowered his head and pondered, he still couldn't think of it, he raised his head, glanced at it, and felt that these grids were a little strange, and felt a little unusual, so he commanded loudly: "You look up and take a closer look at the grids on your heads, what is the difference?" ”
At this time, Yang Bo suddenly remembered that the secret room of the family clan was of the type of mechanism, could it be that there was a similar mechanism in this vault? Because this kind of organ in most families is a bulge, and these grids on the head are not the best places to hide the bulge?
So, according to Yang Bo's instructions, everyone raised their heads again and observed carefully.
But this grid is indeed too much, it is unrealistic to read it in a short time, Yang Bo stood in the middle of the vault, and found that this vault is about five feet long, exactly two eight-foot men, one person can reach it with the other, but he must lean against the wall.
So, Yang Bo instructed again: "Everyone start to observe from the four corners, along the wall. ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately began to observe carefully according to their words.
After a while, a brocade-clothed guard dressed in a flying fish suit shouted loudly with excitement on his face: "Lord Yang, here, here, come and see here, I found a different place here." He said loudly and waved his hand to Yang Bo.
When Yang Bo saw this, his face immediately showed a sense of joy, and he hurriedly ran towards the brocade guard, and arrived at that corner in a short time.
Yang Bo smiled and patted the Jinyiwei on the shoulder, then raised his head, and looked at it carefully, and found that the difference found by the Jinyiwei was that a square grid was slightly convex and slightly cleaner than the surroundings, and it was difficult for people who were not sharp-eyed to find.
When Yang Bo saw it, he was immediately overjoyed, and he was almost sure in his heart that this was an organ.
Then he commanded loudly with a happy face: "Come and two people, stand together, hold against the wall, and press down on the clean bulge." Yang Bo said as he pointed his finger at the bulge.
The person who found this bulge earlier, he volunteered to press the bulge, only to see that he was being held up, and pressed the bulge fiercely with his right hand, and suddenly the wall they were holding moved to one side, and the two of them immediately fell and ate, which made people laugh, and the people around him suddenly laughed, and even Yang Bo smiled.
The truth was about to be revealed, and his hanging heart relaxed slightly.
I saw that the wall slowly opened a gap, and after a long while, it stopped, Yang Bo took a closer look, and found that the moving wall was about half a foot thick, such a thickness, just by knocking and beating, it was impossible to tell the difference, the designer of this mechanism is really a master!
Moreover, he also realized that this organ was by no means built in recent years, and was obviously established at the beginning of the founding of the country, when Taicang was established, so what is going on?
Yang Bo didn't have time to think about it at this time, only when he found the gold could he feel at ease, and His Majesty could also feel at ease.
So he commanded: "Everyone bring your weapons, hold torches, and the brocade guards take the lead, follow this passage, let's go and see if this gold is in it!" ”
Suddenly, hundreds of people drew their personal weapons, holding torches in their hands, and hundreds of guards in brocade clothes took the lead, and the others followed one after another, entering this dark and dreary passage.
Yang Bo also drew his sword at any time, and under the embrace of everyone, he also stepped into this dark and gloomy passage.
Is gold really at the end of this channel?
