Chapter 748: Treasure Hunting at Two Heads
Of course, the imperial court's clear decree did not only involve a few people from Wang Fulin. For Yan Jifang, although his official position has not gone further, and the sub-word before the deputy commander-in-chief has not been successfully removed immediately, but Taiwan and Penghu are also under his jurisdiction as the deputy commander-in-chief of Zhangchao, and the hereditary command of Jiayin's son is a good gospel for him who has a lot of children and grandchildren, because this means that the children and grandchildren of the family can have one more future. Because of this, and he learned that Wang Fulin had succeeded in asking for credit for others, but Wang Fulin himself had not yet said anything, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
In these years, there are too few people who are desperately trying to fight for the benefits of others, but they don't care much about their own interests.
Therefore, when he sent someone to escort Lin Daoqian to cross the sea to the capital of Chaozhou, he originally planned to go in person, but in the end, he heard Wang Fulin mention that the wind direction is not conducive to sailing to Taiwan, and hundreds of pirates still have to be placed on the side of Nanao Island, and he needs to send someone to keep an eye on it, so he dispelled this idea.
However, although Wang Fulin followed, he was escorted to the Chaozhou capital by Zhou Congwen, the deputy envoy of the sea road, and he hid behind, which made him unable to understand. In his opinion, the last co-signed performance made Zhou Congwen get some benefits, which is already very generous, this time he beheaded Lin Daoqian, such a big opportunity to show his face, Wang Fulin actually didn't go in person?
But what happened next made him divert his attention for a while. In the evening of that day, one of his personal soldiers brought important news, saying that someone among the pirates had come out and claimed to know the news of Wu Ping's relics. Although he was skeptical of this, the rumors of Wu Ping's treasure on Nanao Island had been around for a long time, and some people even claimed conclusively that Wu Ping was once the undoubted pirate king back then, and whether it was Zeng Yiyi or Lin Daoqian, Lin Afeng, he was regarded as the leader, and the value of the treasure was more than one million taels of silver. Therefore. After thinking about it, that night, he still picked a dozen henchmen and soldiers to quietly leave the General Soldier's Mansion.
This time, he only came back in the middle of the night, but there was an extra man with a black cloth sleeve in the group. When the two pro-soldiers carried the man into the study with Yan Jifang, the gloomy South Australian soldier finally couldn't help the anger in his heart. Before he could sit down, he smashed a teacup on the high table next to the Taishi chair, and shouted angrily: "You dare to play this handsome!" ”
Qiu Sihai, who had been taken off the black cloth hood and his mouth was still tightly gagged, knelt on the ground with his knees soft, but his face was pale, and he wanted to ask for mercy but couldn't say a word. It wasn't until someone removed the rag from his mouth that he kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said in a loud voice: "The little one has been getting the treasure map for many years, and the little one got the treasure map." He also tortured the guy, and he said it was absolutely true. The small one has been studying for many years according to the map of Nanao Island, and it is definitely the place where Wu Ping buried the treasures back then, and there has always been a garrison, so the small one can't get it, but I didn't expect it......"
"Then why dig three feet into the ground and get nothing?"
Seeing that Yan Jifang was already so angry, Qiu Sihai was about to cry: "Think about it...... Yes, there must be some deviation over time. If it's not there, it's definitely nearby, just expand the search area. Dig deeper, dig bigger......
"Shut up, don't you think this handsome is not shameful enough?"
Yan Jifang was almost mad. Although more than a dozen pro-soldiers are his henchmen, that is, the private individuals of the Yan family, they are raised by him at his own expense, if he really digs up the treasure. It's okay to seal their mouths with heavy money, but they didn't get anything, they followed themselves all night, how could there be no resentment in their hearts? And most importantly, in front of these people. was played around by such a small role and spread out, how will he lead the troops to fight in the future? And it was only at this time that he suddenly thought of a question.
Qiu Sihai was taken down by Wang Fulin before, and then he has been following Du Maode and Lu Guangwu, if he really has this clue, why did he come to tell himself?
Since he thought of it, Yan Jifang had already moved his murderous intent at the moment, so he naturally questioned sharply. And Qiu Sihai secretly complained to himself, so he could only repeat Lu Guangwu's banter at that time. When Yan Jifang heard Lu Guangwu say that his family was wealthy and he didn't look down on this kind of black money, and said that Wang Fulin was born in a family of Hui merchants and had a lot of money, he immediately believed it seven or eight points, but he was even more annoyed with his impulsiveness. Even if he is not richer than the Lu family and the Wang family, but for many years, the generals of the unified army have sat down and fought pirates, but a lot of loot has been seized, of course, he is not poor, why did he fall into such a bad situation this time?
The more he looked at Qiu Sihai, the more he seemed to have ulterior motives, and immediately said to the two pro-soldiers who followed the house: "This handsome man has no time to grind his teeth with this kind of liar anymore." If you still believe him, you might as well take him down and torture him, and then search him from place to place. If you really find it, it's up to you to divide it, but this handsome man has something to say first, if it makes a big fuss, no one will give you a pocket! ”
After such a toss in the night, the two pro-soldiers were also angry, and when they heard the boss say this, they obviously didn't have any hope for this, the two hesitated for a moment, one of them quickly stuffed a rag in Qiu Sihai's mouth, and the other put people up. In the next half of the night, Qiu Sihai was so tormented that he couldn't survive and couldn't die, and he couldn't wait to find out what he ate at every meal. And these pro-soldiers continued to secretly search for the so-called suspicious location according to Qiu Sihai's confession for a whole day, but in the end they still found nothing, so they understood why Yan Jifang gave up directly.
So, that night, a guy who had carried a treasure map for many years and dreamed of getting rich for many years was tied to an iron ball on his feet and sank into the sea, and the trace of whimpering before he died could only be heard by a few people who pushed him into the water on the boat.
And when a few pro-soldiers rowed back to the General Soldier's Mansion, someone whispered: "This guy can't stand the fight, he recruits everything, and he also said before that he took out Lin Afeng to bribe Guangdong officials A treasure, all of which were dedicated to the inspector Wang Ye." But this Wang Ye is really generous enough, when he recruited warriors before, he used up hundreds of taels of gold, and the rest was given to our marshal to place the soldiers and prisoners, do the math, he didn't take a penny, there are still such generous officials in this world? ”
"That is, when our handsome man heard about Wu Ping's wealth, he couldn't hold it at all, but Wang Ye and the people around him simply ignored Qiu Sihai's words."
"In the end, Hui Shang is rich, and if he really wants to believe it. Isn't it the same as Dashuai and us? After a busy day and a night, not to mention the treasure, I didn't even see a copper! ”
When a few pro-soldiers of the Nanao General Military Mansion killed people and killed people, and then went to report back to Yan Jifang, almost at the same time, in a small forest on the side of a hill on the outskirts of Chenghai County. But it was a simple fence made of black cloth, with several lanterns lit inside, and several people were digging with shovels, next to Wang Fulin of the "High Wind and Bright Festival". When there was a sudden sound of dang, several soft shouts were heard from all sides. Now that the place was confirmed, several people immediately dug deep and dug deep, and in a short time, the three boxes were completely revealed.
Liu Bo, who had a big waist and a round waist, rolled up his sleeves and went down in person, grabbing the pull ring on the side of the box. With all his might, the seemingly small box did not move at all, and he immediately increased his strength, but the next moment, he carried the pull ring and fell backwards with a piece of rotten wood that burst away, and the box was so torn apart. And through the broken corner, the contents of it glowed yellow in the firelight, so that the breathing around them was much heavier.
It is said that gold and silver wealth are touching. Of course, Wang Fulin knows this truth. He coughed lightly and said in a steady voice, "It's not those uninformed pirates. I only know that when I see the money, the dart games in the southeast are good, and the ticket number of the silver village is good, not to mention just three boxes, and a dozen boxes of gold and silver are not a big deal. It's too late to pick up the things and count them before you think about dividing them. ”
Wang Fulin said. Liu Bo and the others all laughed suddenly. After following Wang Fulin for so many years, of course they know what kind of character the other party is, and they know that with this master's reputation as the God of Wealth among Hui merchants. Even if the three boxes are full of gold, people will never want to swallow it alone, and as for killing people for such a small amount of money, it is even more impossible.
So, the box, which was still in good condition, was quickly lifted up and carefully placed in the mule cart. As for the broken, and heaviest chest, the gold melted into the shape of gold bricks was packed into several pockets, and at last only the empty and broken chest was still stuck in the pit.
"Don't worry about this box, just fill the soil, if someone else hears any wind in the future and comes to dig, you should know that someone has taken the lead when you see this broken box, or you have been fooled."
When Wang Fulin said this, he glanced at Xiuzhu who was in a daze next to him, Chen Bingchang, who was full of nervousness next to her, thought that Lin Daoqian's death date was the day after tomorrow, and he swallowed back the next joke on his lips. When the surrounding fence cloth was removed and the mule cart was also put on, the group quietly disappeared into the night. At this moment when the city gate was locked and there was a curfew everywhere, of course they would not think about returning to the city, but came to a campsite that they had chosen a long time ago.
The gold in a few pockets was counted first, because they were all gold bricks of about the same weight, and everyone estimated that it was about three thousand taels of gold. And when the second intact box was lifted up, Liu Bo personally pried the lid of the box with a shovel, and the shiny color made him can't help but scold.
The first box was gold before, and he couldn't help but think that if the three boxes were all gold, the value would definitely be extraordinary, but he didn't expect the second box to be silver! Fortunately, the weight was written on the silver ingots, and it turned out to be official silver, and I don't know where the pirates came from, so it was not difficult to count them. After about half a box of silver was counted, it was about eight hundred taels, and Feng Zhong knocked it with an iron drill, but found that there was a mezzanine underneath. Liu Bo hurriedly snatched the iron drill and pried it open, and when the wooden board was completely pried open, he shouted happily: "It's a good bead!" ”
The same weight of silver is not worth as much as gold, and the same weight of gold is not worth as much as pearls. And Wang Fulin came over and took one from Liu Bo's hand, turned his head under the torch and looked at it over and over again, and he said thoughtfully: "If it is Hepu Nanzhu, and it is so big, this half box of pearls is probably more valuable than the previous box of gold." ”
Chen Bingchang, who was on the side, saw that Xiuzhu was still in no spirit, so he deliberately asked, "Brother Wang, what Nanzhu?" I've only heard that Hepu's beads are particularly precious, but I've never heard of Nanzhu. ”
Wang Fulin was stunned for a moment, isn't there such a thing as Nanzhu now? can see Chen Bingchang talking and going to see Xiuzhu at the same time, he is also happy to liven up the atmosphere, and explain two more sentences: "The so-called Nanzhu is determined by geography, among which Hepu Nanzhu is the best." As for Dongzhu, it is produced in the northeast, further north than Liaodong, which is the territory of the Jurchens. Of course, it is also said that Tozhu refers to pearls produced in Japan, that is, in the Wa Kingdom. As for the Western pearl, it is a pearl produced in the West. Among these three kinds of beads, the east pearl bean is green and white, and the gloss is not as good as the west pearl, and the west pearl is not as good as the south pearl. ”
As for the pearl of this size in his hand, if it is really produced in Hepu and placed in the Beijing division where dignitaries and wealthy businessmen gather, a string of necklaces will cost hundreds of thousands of silver!
The others don't know so much, they only know the value, so they naturally smile. And when the third box was counted, as soon as the lid was opened, Liu Bo, who had great expectations, couldn't help but exclaim: "What is this?" ”
With the experience just now, Wang Fulin knew that Liu Bo would not make such a fuss even if he was reckless, but when he stepped forward and saw that the box was full of mud bricks, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and instinctively glanced at Xiuzhu. Without waiting for Chen Bingchang to jump up to defend Xiuzhu, he laughed: "The original person who hid the treasure was Wu Ping, and the person who took over the treasure and transferred it to his hometown in Chaozhou Mansion was Lin Daoqian, why did he hide a box of green bricks, how do we know?" Although this box has wasted everyone's efforts, fortunately, the previous two boxes of things are already worth a lot. ”
After all, Liu Bo complained a few words, but he still didn't bother to sort out all the bricks in a box, and then smashed the wooden box into pieces, and found that there was really no clue, so he finally stopped, and only smiled at the other few people who had already stopped. He said angrily: "Then Lin Daoqian is really full of food and support, the hidden treasure is either real or fake, how can there be such a thing as half-truths and half-truths?" Even if he sneaked back a few times before and used up a lot of inventory to recruit treasures, he wouldn't use this kind of brick to fill up, right? ”
"If you're still unwilling, why don't you just break all those bricks?" Feng Zhong and Liu Bo had the best relationship, and immediately joked. But as soon as the words fell, he heard Wang Fulin chuckle. The next moment, he saw Liu Bo, who was still full of chagrin, stepped forward quickly, and really grabbed a brick and smashed it on the ground, as the debris splashed around, the other people around him laughed and scolded, but Liu Bo's eyes were still wide, and he squatted down to pick and choose among the debris, and in the end, he suddenly shouted angrily: "Nothing, this is really a number!" ”
Others didn't expect Liu Bo to really smash bricks to try, and he was idle and bored for a while, so they all picked up the bricks and smashed them to play. Wang Fulin couldn't help but laugh when he looked at it, and he was busy repacking the half of the box of Nanzhu, so he didn't care so much. But the sound of slamming bricks lasted for a while, and he suddenly heard Liu Bo's babbling voice.
"This brick has words engraved on it!"
PS: Anyway, when everyone was in the 2K party, I changed it to 4K, which is really not cost-effective, otherwise I would have been four shifts today. The second is to ask for a double monthly pass (to be continued.) )
