Chapter 165: The Sacred Altar of Zheng He's Treasure
Inside the Swiss Money House. The shopkeeper used all the family members to drive out all the outsiders.
As the gate of the money village closed, all the qiē calmed down.
In the back hall, Na Haonan took the box.
The old man's name is Feng Ping, and his ancestor was originally surnamed Xue. Xue Feng was originally inactive, when he was down. By chance, he met the Engong in Feng Ping's mouth, that is, the designer of the treasure ship that Na Haonan was searching for. Engong's surname is Feng, Zheng He's henchmen, and people only call him Feng Gongzi. The real name was never known. Xue Feng followed Feng Gongzi to do things, and became one of Feng Gongzi's henchmen.
Nineteen years of Yongle. Zheng He adopted Feng Gongzi's advice and wrote to the emperor to stop indiscriminate paper money. Zhu Zhu made several expeditions, and the treasury was consumed. Zheng He went to the West to look for the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen, so he lost money in the first six trips to the West. When he didn't return home, he brought the envoys of various countries back to Beijing to meet him, and Zhu Zhu also needed to give a huge reward from the Celestial Empire, and then send a fleet to send them back. Therefore, in fact, Zheng He went to the West more often than 77 times.
The cost was huge, but Zheng He stopped indiscriminating paper money and could not search for the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen, thus offending Zhu Lin. Zheng He has been in high power for decades. has a prominent reputation, Zhu Zhu nominally reported Zheng He's trip to the West, but secretly imprisoned Zheng He, and the outside world thought that Zheng He had gone to the West. I don't know the inside story of the palace at all.
In the twenty-third year of Yongle, Zhu Lin was already dying, suspicious of everything, and no longer ambitious. coincided with the popular rumors of Zheng He's treasure, and someone secretly reported Zhu Zhu. Zhu Lin remembered that after the Xiwang incident, the whereabouts of 60,000 taels of gold were unknown, but the interrogation of Zheng He found nothing. In order to prevent outsiders from obtaining the treasure to the detriment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Lin ordered the erasure of relevant records about Zheng He and his subordinates, and imposed a sea ban. Tear down the treasure ship.
In the twenty-fourth east of Yongle, Zhu Lin died, and before he died, he ordered Zheng He and his related people to be executed in the name of burial.
Zheng He was on good terms with the crown prince Zhu Zhanji, and after Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, he kept the lives of Zheng He and Feng Gongzi.
The seventh trip to the West was pure trade, which obtained a large amount of money for Zhu Zhanji. The huge amount of money consolidated Zhu Zhanji's political and economic foundation after he ascended the throne, but it also made Zhu Zhanji suspect that Zheng He and others did not get back any money from their previous trips to the West. Zheng He died depressed, but before his death, he ordered Feng Gongzi to be executed.
"Feng Gongzi is dead?"
"Yes!" Feng Ping nodded and said, "There are many unknown secrets between Engong and Zheng He. In the first year of Xuande, Engong secretly gave a huge sum of money to his ancestors, and left incognito. But the ancestor missed Engong and had a premonition that Engong was in trouble, so he changed his name to Feng and secretly stayed in Jingshi. Open a Swiss bank.
In the eighth year of Xuande, Engong followed Zheng He to accompany the funeral, and before that, Engong secretly handed over this thing to the ancestor. ”
Di Haonan looked at the box, it was a foreskin box, and pressed it with his hand, but it was made of stainless steel. Looking at the middle, it's a four-digit password box. Judging by the traces above, no one has ever opened it.
Di Haonan looked at Feng Ping appreciatively. This family is really admirable, and they are very dedicated to guarding this box.
"What's the password?"
Feng Ping smiled, shook his head, and said, "The ancestors only passed down the words, and those who are destined will naturally be able to open it!" ”
Na Haonan nodded and asked, "It's really not a secret, I don't have any interest in any treasures!" I just want to know, did Feng Gongzi leave any design drawings about the treasure ship? Your ancestor is his confidant, so you should know about the treasure ship! Feng Ping smiled and said, "After the ancestor saw Engong for the last time, he came back and destroyed a qiē thing related to Engong, leaving only this box. ”
Na Haonan asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”
Feng Ping said: "Dongchang, Xichang, Jinyiwei, secretly searched for something related to Engong throughout the country, and once the person who is now in private possession will either disappear or match the frontier!" Ancestors in order to keep this. The box can only destroy other things. ”
Na Jienan nodded, and secretly said that Zheng He should have told Zhu Zhanji about Feng Gongzi's secret. And Zhu Zhanji should be trying to cover up something. So he erased any record of Feng Gongzi.
Feng Ping said suddenly: "The ancestor once revealed that Feng Gongzi seems to have participated in Emperor Chengzu's dragon vein plan, so he was killed!" But what happened. Only the person concerned knows best, we can only be smart! ”
Na Hao Nan was not interested in any Zheng He's treasure or dragon vein plan, he was only sure that the treasure ship really existed, so he needed to get the treasure ship to enrich his navy. If that Feng Gongzi left the information on the construction of the treasure ship, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to Na Haonan.
No password, which scares. The box won't open. Deng Haonan suddenly lost interest and asked Feng Ping about the treasure ship and Feng Gongzi, but the old man knew too little. Maybe it's because of its age. The events of two hundred years ago must have lost a lot from generation to generation, so there is almost nothing left in Feng Ping's generation.
couldn't get more news, so Na Haonan was ready to say goodbye and leave.
Feng Ping called his son Feng Shaoyan and said to Na Haonan: "Then my lord, please accept my dog." The old man will be rewarded! ”
Na Haonan was stunned for a moment. Asked: "How do you know one?"
Feng Ping smiled: "Then don't be confused, your surname is Deng." At first glance, the subordinates are from the army, this dress, the old man has never seen it, and now in the Ming Dynasty, only the command of Lord Zhongyong is like this! ”
Na Haonan nodded helplessly, it seems that we will pay attention to it in the future, the "invisible" work still needs to be strengthened, and the brains of the Ming people are still turning very fast.
"That's right! I'm that Haonan! Don't know what you mean"
Feng Ping pulled Feng Shaoyan and was about to kneel down for Deng Haonan, but Deng Haonan hurriedly stopped him
Feng Ping said: "It's not a secret! Recently, Wei Zhongxian, a traitor party in the DPRK and China, didn't know how to learn about the events of the year, and was searching everywhere for the news of Engong, and the old man got a secret report that Wei Zhongxian had already suspected our Swiss bank
Deng Haonan understood. Wei Zhongxian, this guy must have learned some clues from the palace.
"So you left Jingshi and arranged such a method of rewarding, trying to find someone who is destined."
"Adult Mingjian". Feng Ping was noncommittal. continued: "Wei Zhongxian has a lot of minions, and this time someone cracks the word fan, it must not take long for it to reach Wei Zhongxian's ears."
Na Haonan nodded and said, "Then you can clean up and follow me back to Liaodong tomorrow, no one dares to touch you when you get there!" ”
Feng Ping said: "Thank you, sir!" The old man is old and doesn't want to leave, so he asks the adult to leave with the eldest son, who is good at running a money bank. Adults will be useful in the future! ”
Na Haonan nodded, he really lacked someone who could take care of the bank.
Knowing that their father and son had something to say, Na Haonan went to the courtyard outside to wait.
After about half an hour, Feng Shaoyan walked out with red eyes.
Can you make a forty-year-old middle-aged man like this, that Haonan already knows Feng Ping's choice in his heart.
There are only Feng Ping's father and son here, and their families and wealth have been secretly transferred to the countryside. It looks like they've been prepared.
Feng Shaoyan changed into the clothes of Sha Haonan's men, followed Fei Haonan out of the Swiss money house, and returned to the inn.
Back at the inn, Deng Haonan beat Hai Lanzhu away and ordered the guards to guard the outside, and he hid in the room alone.
Lying on the bed, Deng Haonan picked up the box and studied it repeatedly.
The combination lock is a four-digit Arabic numeral, ranging from zero to nine. If you don't know the password. It takes 10,000 trials. However, Na Haonan knew in his heart that according to his guess about that Feng Gongzi, he would not let people break it violently.
Therefore, if you try it a certain number of times, you will destroy the contents of it.
After checking over and over, Deng Haonan suddenly saw a row of small characters engraved in the lower right corner of the box.
"Xuande is six years old and ugly, small
This set of numbers is very strange, the time of the preceding year is larger, and the date is using Arabic numerals.
Di Haonan knew that the Ming Dynasty did not have this way of chronology, and the dates of the Ming Dynasty were recorded according to the heavenly stems and the upper, middle and lower thirty years.
The number is engraved with a circle. Inside the circle is a flower pattern with the word for the year.
The dragon and phoenix oath are the keys to open the treasure door, they are cross flower mouths, then the key mouth is in the shape of cross flowers. In other words, the cross flower represents the meaning of treasure and key.
Could it be a password hint?
The ugly is exactly four. numbers, Deng Haonan was ecstatic, this kind of stimulation of opening the treasure box made him feel comfortable.
Tian Yin
Deng Haonan tried it. Every time I moved a ring, it creaked. After four were completed, they were not opened.
Oops!
The password is incorrect!
That Hao Nan suddenly felt that the sound that came out just now was not only the sound of the password ring turning, but also other sounds inside. He immediately understood that the password had been entered incorrectly. If you don't get the mechanism inside, you'll destroy what's inside. Upside down?
mutual
Na Haonan gritted his teeth. Tried again.
The same creaking sound was a few times, and the box still didn't open.
Na Hao Nan directed the box, and didn't dare to move anymore.
According to Na Haonan's experience, if you enter incorrectly three times, you will never be able to open. That Feng Gongzi has a lot of ability, maybe the things inside will be destroyed.
I thought about it. This guy shouldn't be too cumbersome because he needs to make his experience public, and the ordinary numbers are supposed to be to confuse people.
The password must be hidden in this line!
Deng Haonan picked it up again and looked at it, except for the month, there was only one year left.
Six years of Xuande!
There is only one clarity?
Wait a minute!
Di Haonan suddenly saw a flash of inspiration, why is the sixth year of Xuande different from the later date? What is the owner hinting at?
The secret is in Xuande for six years!
Deng Haonan suddenly thought, what does Xuande represent in the sixth year? The back is the modern Gregorian calendar, so the six years of Xuande should also be converted to the Gregorian calendar.
The sixth year of Xuande is Tun, and Deng Haonan then entered, and the result of Tun was still creaking for a while, and it was not opened.
Depend on!
Deng Haonan cursed in his heart. Feng Gongzi, why are you doing it like the Da Vinci code? Lao Tzu is not Nikola Cage!
Sighing, Na Haonan thought, now it's Xu. Of the eight date numbers, only four are correct. Deng Haonan's head is bigger, and this combination arrangement is also a headache.
Why isn't it a six-digit password?
Deng Haonan was very depressed, since this girl has made out the Swiss bank, then the password should also be like the secrets of the banking system in later generations, is it reasonable to have six digits?
Na Haonan subconsciously looked at the password mouth. Only four password rings are exposed at the location of the password mouth, and the cowhide "wraps" next to them. Deng Haonan picked out the cowhide, opened a small piece, and suddenly there seemed to be something strange. So I vigorously cut open a large piece. The secret suddenly became apparent.
Sure enough, it's a cipher ring, hidden under the cowhide next to the cipher mouth. There should be another one, Di Haonan pulled hard, and the cowhide layer opened again, and sure enough, another password ring was revealed. Deng Haonan was not sure about the six password rings, so he tore it in again, but there was no more.
There are only six password rings!
According to the habit of ordinary people to save money passwords, the last six digits of the birthday are generally passwords. Although there is no Feng Gongzi's birthday here, there is a day
Attract the old witch!
With a snap, the code is correct and the box opens.
A characteristic woody scent and ink smell came out, and it smelled pretty good.
Deng Haonan sat up and looked closely, only to see a letter in the box, and next to the letter was an upside-down inkwell. A spiral on top of the cork is tied to it. It is like an opener for opening wine. The cap opener is connected to the combination lock, and it looks like every time the combination lock is turned, the cap opener will plunge into the inkwell. Apparently the capper had penetrated the cork, and the ink was imperceptibly flowing down a small groove in the cap opener onto the letter.
Not good!
Deng Haonan suddenly realized and hurriedly took out the letter. Fortunately, the ink flows very slowly, and although a small piece of ink is impregnated in the corner of the letter, it does not affect reading.
It's dangerous!
Deng Haonan breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, he guessed that if someone violently cracked it, he would definitely get a black paper that couldn't see anything clearly.
The letter is closed, and it is written to the destined person.
Deng Haonan smiled slightly and unfolded the letter. What is written above is very simple. First of all, his name is Feng Jun, but as for his origin, he did not mention anything. The reason is that I don't know if the person who opens the box is friend or foe. It's the good guy or the bad guy. However, it was mentioned that he had created a treasure, and as for what kind of treasure it was, there was no mention of it.
"Maybe one day the treasure will be opened, maybe forever dark, but as a Chinese. I want to protect this treasure that belongs to China! ”
When Deng Haonan read this, his heart suddenly became heavy. He felt that what Feng Jun was guarding was not as simple as a treasure, what was it?
This girl is obviously very cautious, as if she is afraid of being obtained by foreigners.
This is the end of the letter. Deng Haonan obtained nothing but Feng Jun's name.
The treasure is real, Deng Haonan is sure of this, but there is nothing else in this box, and there are no clues left.
How can it be? Na Haonan didn't believe in evil, and peeled off all the cowhide covered inside the box, and sure enough, there was a row of words engraved on the steel plate at the bottom.
"The sacred altar guards the Chinese civilization until the dawn of the Age."
Another riddle! Deng Haonan rolled his eyes. However, this has aroused Deng Haonan's interest, anyway, the Black Pearl will not arrive at the pick-up location until tomorrow, and there is just time to guess the riddle today.
However, after guessing, Deng Haonan was never able to find the answer.
First, what does "sacred altar" mean? "Guarding Chinese Civilization" made Deng Haonan's head bigger, and this treasure seems to be related to Chinese civilization. It's nerve-wracking and exciting. Then came the advent of the "Bright Age", what does the "Bright Age" refer to? According to Deng Haonan's calculations, Feng Jun belongs to an organization. Perhaps waiting for someone from his organization to arrive. Maybe it was the era of civilization, because he knew that the Ming Dynasty would be replaced by the Manchus, and he could never fall into the hands of the Manchus, waiting for the arrival of the Republic era to open the treasure.
Obviously. The clues are vague. But according to the clues left by Feng Jun, the sacred altar is the breakthrough. Only, what does the sacred altar refer to? Where is it a headache.
Unconsciously. The sun has set.
Ding Daniu had to interrupt Deng Haonan's thoughts, because it was dinner time.
Never mind! This thing can only be broken by a flash of inspiration, or by chance.
Deng Haonan doesn't have much spare time to deal with this problem, he still has a lot of important things to do, so let's go back and hand them over to the people in the secret service for a headache!
The dinner was specially prepared for Feng Shaoyan. First, he is welcome to join Deng Haonan Group, and secondly, the Swiss money bank's branches all over the country and contacts are all needed by Na Haonan.
Feng Shaoyan was originally used as a meeting gift. gave Deng Haonan 500,000 taels of silver, but Deng Haonan did not accept it. He hopes to use the Feng family to advertise for free. That is, Deng Haonan needs more consortiums or forces like the Feng family to join. After all, it is not enough to rely on Deng Haonan to fight alone, and more people need to be united.
Feng Shaoyan will become Deng Haonan's financial adviser, subordinate to the Secret Service, and will be directly responsible to Deng Haonan like Qian Shun and them. And Deng Haonan's housekeeper Sigou can also be more relaxed, after all, it is really difficult for him to take care of the huge finances. If Feng Shaoyan has help, his efficiency and financial management ability will be greatly enhanced.
Deng Haonan adheres to the principle of employing people without suspicion and suspicion, and as soon as he makes a move, he wants to trust each other, which makes Feng Shaoyan very moved.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
At this time, a guard suddenly came in to report that it was Ma Sigong, the chief soldier of Jizhou Town, who came to visit.
Shrugged? What did he come to do?
Na Haonan thought about it, so he took Ding Da Niu to follow the guards to the front yard.
Ma Sigong originally wanted to go directly to the backyard to see Deng Haonan, but Deng Haonan's guards were heavily guarded. He was stopped from passing, so he had to wait in the front yard.
Deng Haonan changed into his official uniform and came to the front yard. From a distance, I saw Ma Sigong, who was dressed in the uniform of the chief soldier, and several personal soldiers he brought.
Ma Sigong saw Deng Haonan come out and hurriedly walked over.
The two looked at each other and were taken aback.
Deng Haonan was very familiar with Ma Sigong opposite, and after a closer look, he suddenly realized that he was Liu Erhei who he met in the gambling house in Beiling Town.
"Liu Erhei!"
"Deng Haonan!"
The two immediately recognized each other, and Deng Haonan shouted: "Someone!" Take them down! ”
