Chapter 150: Captain Touching Gold
Because the real estate acquisition cost too much money, Wang Yongxin was also a little worried, he brought 600,000 taels at the beginning, but now there are only 200,000 taels left, and 400,000 taels were spent in two months, which is simply a loser. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But in fact, the price at which Wang Yongan bought land in Shanghai was already very cheap, taking Wangjia Garden at No. 377 Baochang Road as an example, because the owner was jealous of the stocks, he sold the three villas at a discount for a total price of 31,000 taels of silver, otherwise he would have to buy it for 35,000 taels.
The madness of the Shanghai stock market has really attracted many people to abandon their families and careers to invest, even in later generations, the stock market will rise, the property market will fall, and the property market will rise, and the stock market will be sluggish.
"There is a way that it is easy to spend money, but it is difficult to make money." Wang Yongan looked at the account book and said with great emotion, but now is not the time to sell stocks, seeing that there is less silver in his pocket, he has to find a way to make money quickly.
Just as the so-called thinking about what comes, thinking about money, money is coming, the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Yao quietly came to Shanghai with a team of people, and under Wang Yongan's arrangement, he carefully entered the Wang family garden with three cartloads of goods, and deposited the three carts of goods in the underground secret room of the front building.
Wang Yongan looked mysterious, and after the transportation was completed, he asked Wei Daofeng to arrange for them to go down to eat, and then asked Li Yao what was in the three carts.
Li Yao retreated from the others and said in a low voice: "There are some bright weapons in the box. ”
"What's it?" Wang Yongan looked puzzled and scratched his head.
Li Yao hesitated for a moment and explained: "Ming artifacts are cultural relics, cultural relics dug up from the mausoleum, what is the price...... There are highs and lows. ”
Wang Yongan suddenly opened his mouth in disbelief, isn't he a tomb robber? He suddenly thought of a question, Yangzhou-tomb robbery-Emperor Yang of Sui--his eyes couldn't help but widen his eyes and shouted: "You shouldn't have dug up the tomb of Emperor Yang of Sui, right?" Mausoleum of Emperor Yang of Sui? Have you found the tomb of Emperor Yang of Sui? ”
"Shh......h Hush...... Shh......hh Wang Yongan looked shocked in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile and said: "But what about - what we dug up this time is not the real tomb of Emperor Yang of Sui, but a fake tomb, that is, a fake tomb." ”
A fake grave is also a grave! Wang Yongan couldn't cry or laugh, he thought of some funny memories and asked: "You didn't meet the big zongzi when you robbed the tomb, did you?" Tell me what a big dumpling looks like? Isn't it a red-haired monster? ”
"What is a big dumpling?" Li Yao asked with a puzzled gaze.
"You don't even know how to be a tomb robber? The so-called big zongzi is a martyrdom demon such as ghosts and corpses. Wang Yongan swore and said, as if it was true, "I've read ghost novels, you can't fool me, but there are evil demons in all ancient tombs." If the candle goes out during the tomb robbery, it means that the ghost blows out the lamp, and everything must be returned to the original owner, and not a single cent can be moved, right? Otherwise, the tomb robbers will be killed by the corpse spirit and buried with them, and they will never be able to live forever! ”
Li Yao heard his words, and laughed and said: "My fourth young master, don't scare yourself yourself, your old man, there are not even bones in the fake tomb, it seems that there are only the clothes of Emperor Yang of Sui." The grave robbers who dug up the grave said that they dug it like this, and the old man said that it seemed to be a well-dressed mound, and the real mausoleum of Emperor Yang of Sui should not be here. So you see that there are only three carts of burial goods, if it is really the tomb of Emperor Yang of Sui, there must be at least ten carts of burial goods, right? As for big zongzi ghosts and the like, I guess you've read too many novels, where are there any ghosts. ”
Wang Yongan pulled him to sit down, poured tea, and asked with a smile: "Tell me what's going on?" Why did my brother remember to rob the tomb, did he really do this immoral thing? ”
Li Yao told it 1510, it turned out that Hou Gan, the sheriff, got the tip, and there was a group of tomb robbers from Sichuan Province who robbed tombs everywhere in Yangzhou, Yangzhou has always been an important place in the south of the Yangtze River, and it used to be an ancient capital, and there were more mausoleums of princes and generals, so tomb robbers have repeatedly succeeded. But Hou Gan is not a vegetarian, and after setting up an ambush, he arrested all these tomb robbers and handed over all the treasures from the tomb to Wang Yongtai.
Wang Yongtai asked how much these ceramic clay pots could be sold for, and the tomb robbers were honest, saying that the money they got from robbing the tomb now was only 100,000 taels of silver, but if they found the tomb of Emperor Yang of Sui, they could sell at least 1 million taels of silver inside. Wang Yongtai's eyes went straight to Venus, one million taels of silver, how much silver did it have to be, so instead of punishing the tomb robbers, he included the tomb robbers in his own guards, and sealed the old man of the tomb robbers as the captain of the gold team of the guards, and selected forty people from the baggage battalion and the guard battalion to join them, specifically responsible for tomb robbing.
The old man didn't expect that he was in his fifties, and he actually became a big official, and even the name of the team was taken by himself, the so-called touching gold team, is the abbreviation of the team of touching gold, Wang Yongtai sold the goods they had obtained from the tomb robbery, and divided it into three or seven, and from then on the old man did not have to rob the tomb, and robbed it clearly.
"You mean, my brother is now digging up people's ancestral graves in Yangzhou?" Wang Yongan sighed.
Li Yao said: "Fourth Young Master, I know that you will definitely oppose it, and Lord Xietong said that with your temperament, you will never dig up the graves of the dead." But I still want to advise you that the tombs of those princes and generals in Yangzhou will be stolen by other tomb robbers if they don't organize excavation. Old man Luan's gold-touching team was just stealing things from other tomb robbers, but they didn't steal things from the common people. Those princes and nobles who are lying on the ground, which one does not live on the people's fat and people's ointment scraped from the common people, and the adults do this, it is just a cycle of cause and effect. ”
Wang Yongan could only shake his head and smile bitterly, what other words of reproach could he have, in this era when the living could not have enough to eat, although digging up the graves of the dead was done, it was much better than scavenging money from the common people, at least Wang Yongtai would not expropriate the people in his hometown, and finally end up infamy.
"Let's drink together at night." Wang Yongan said with a smile.
"No, I'll go back immediately." Li Yaodao.
The smile on Wang Yongan's face was very embarrassed, and he said, "Is it so urgent?" ”
Li Yao avoided his gaze, as if he had something on his mind, and stammered: "When I came, my lord specially instructed me, saying that there was a second batch to be sent, let me do it immediately, don't delay." So ......"
"Brother Li, are you hiding something from me?" Wang Yongan suddenly asked.
"Nope! Not! Li Yao was taken aback, "We are friends, how could I hide it from you." ”
Wang Yongan touched his chin and blinked his eyes, his heart was full of doubts, but he didn't know what to say, and said with a smile: "Why don't you let the brothers rest and rest, don't you?" After a few days and nights, the brothers have been staying on the boat, so that they can at least rest for the night. ”
Li Yao hesitated, and seeing Wang Yongan's resolute attitude, he had to rest obediently. Wang Yongan smiled and Zhang Luo went, and took the opportunity to let Liu Li go to the soldiers to find out the news, he felt that Li Yao was a little strange, and suddenly he became cold and polite to himself, something big must have happened.
