Chapter 8: The Theory of Killing
After learning about these situations from Gu Xiaoxiao, I asked her to go back to accompany Gu Anqi and Xiao Lianshan first, they seemed unwilling to mention this matter in front of me, I was worried that asking again would only make Xiao Lianshan even more angry, I was very worried that his body had not seen him for many years, and he was obviously old and twilight.
I plan to wait for Xiao Lianshan and Gu Anqi to calm down before apologizing, Yun Duruo notified the others to rush back to the police station, Liang Xiaocheng specially vacated an office for us, and Yun Duruo told the others what he had learned.
"Ming Fourteenth Mausoleum!" Han Yu stood up from his chair suddenly, and looking at his appearance and reaction, he knew that he had actually heard of this treasure.
"Really...... Is there really the Fourteen Tombs of the Ming Dynasty? Nangong Yi looked at me dumbfounded, and her expression also made me realize that there were many people who knew about this treasure.
"How do you know about the Fourteenth Tomb of the Ming Dynasty?" Yun Duruo asked Nangong Yi curiously.
Nangong Yi is well-read and well-informed, and she has a wide range of knowledge, and there seems to be nothing she doesn't know, Nangong Yi said that the rumors about the Ming Fourteen Tombs have always been very vague, and not many people know about it, she saw only a few words in some classics, but she always thought that these were made up before, and now she knows that there really is the existence of the Ming Fourteen Tombs.
"What about you? How do you know? "I looked at Han Yu, he talked about slaying demons every day, and I had never heard him mention anything related to this.
Han Yu rarely said to us seriously, in fact, this is a rumor that has been circulating in Taoism, it is said that Zhu Yuanzhang broke the Yuan Dynasty and created a two-hundred-year foundation of the Ming Dynasty, among which the founding father Liu Bowen contributed a lot, Liu Bowen knew astronomy and geography, and Jingyi Jing was good at divination, Zhu Yuanzhang was eating baked cakes one day, just took a bite, and the inner servant reported that Liu Bowen, the military division, saw the driver, so Zhu Yuanzhang took a gold utensil, covered the baked cake that he ate a bite, and then asked Liu Bowen if he knew what was on the plate, Liu Bowen pinched his fingers and replied: Half like the sun and half like the moon, it must be a golden dragon bite. Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Liu Bowen's calculations were very accurate, so he began to ask him to calculate the historical changes of 500 years. ”
"This is the "Song of Baked Cakes" that has been passed down to later generations." Nangong Yi explained unhurriedly.
"Actually, no, if Liu Bowen really can deduce the historical changes of five hundred miles in the future, how can the Ming Dynasty fall." Han Yu shook his head and said.
"What the hell is that?" The prince also asked curiously.
"Zhu Yuanzhang is worried that the Ming Dynasty he established will one day fall apart like the previous dynasty, and he asked Liu Bowen to calculate the reason for the death of the Ming Dynasty." Han Yu continued while stroking Yinyue. Liu Bowen pointed to Zhu Yuanzhang's unthinking answer: There is a lack of baked cakes and a lack of a full moon, which refers to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang covered it with gold utensils, making the sun and moon dull, and it is estimated that the Ming Dynasty died in gold!"
"Ming died in gold! Nurhachi, the leader of the Jurchen tribe in Jianzhou, established Houjin, and later changed the name of the country to the Great Qing Dynasty. "I was amazed." The Qing Dynasty entered the customs to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and replace it, and Liu Bowen really said it. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen again what the reason for his death. Han Yu continued unhurriedly. "Liu Bowen's answer is like a stream, the upper gold is lacking, and he dies of lack of money!"
"That's right, the empty treasury at the end of the Ming Dynasty led to deflation and economic depression, and in the early years of Chongzhen, there was a drought year after year, and there was a Qing army, there was not enough silver, and there was intrigue within the court, and the gas was exhausted." Nangong Yi said convincingly.
"The little one behind has already told us that Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the construction of the 14th Ming Mausoleum in order to prevent trouble, although it is advertised as a mausoleum, but it is actually a treasure in case of emergency." Yun Duruo nodded and said.
I took out a cigarette and lit it and walked around the room a few times, remembering that Liang Xiaocheng told us some information about Xiao Lianshan, which mentioned that the main business of Xiao Lianshan's Qinhuang Group is the management of cultural relics, and the cultural relics owned by the Qinhuang Group are simply jaw-dropping, and among them, the Ming Dynasty is the mainstay, covering almost all the rare treasures of the entire Ming Dynasty are all in the Qinhuang Group.
Thinking of the conversation between Xiao Lianshan and Gu Anqi that Gu Xiaoxiao secretly heard, I can roughly guess that what makes Xiao Lianshan rich in the world may be the Ming Fourteenth Mausoleum, and he and Gu Anqi should finally find and own this treasure.
But the problem is that Xiao Lianshan I know has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and he is definitely not a person who covets wealth, and he has always been reluctant to leave Xiangjiang, I think the more reason is that he doesn't want to return here, it is estimated that in Xiao Lianshan's past, he has happened here in the past that he is reluctant to mention.
But he actually came back again, and what attracted him back must be the letter that was purchased with a huge amount of money, Gu Anqi said that it was a treasure that could not even be compared with the Fourteenth Tombs of the Ming Dynasty, could it be that Xiao Lianshan came back just because of the treasure?
I shook my head silently, this is definitely not the person I know well, there must be other reasons that prompted Xiao Lianshan to come back, I think of the three Fusang people mentioned by Gu Xiaoxiao.
"Is the victim's information clear?" I turned my head and asked Nangong Yi.
"The victims were three Fuso men who had been engaged in archaeological research in the country, and they were behind them funded by a chaebol named Mita." Nangong Yi nodded and replied.
"What is the origin of this Mita chaebol?" Yun Duruo asked seriously.
"The Sandian chaebol is a very ancient family in Fusang, the origin and rise can be traced back to the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, it is a very powerful chaebol in Fusang, but unlike other big monopoly chaebols that manipulate the political economy of Fusang, Sanda is very low-key but has a huge industry, covering almost all the fields of Fusang." Nangong Yi looked at our rigorous answer. "During the investigation, I also found that, in addition to the three victims, the Mita chaebol has been constantly excluding archaeologists from conducting archaeological research in the country."
"The people of Fuso came here to do archaeological research? Behind him is the big chaebol ......" The prince flicked the rosary in his hand, and without Gu Xiao's disturbance, he became the prince we are familiar with again, and said meaningfully. "I don't think it's going to be as simple as research."
"I thought so too, so I checked the victims and other people who were assigned to do archaeology, and found something very interesting." Nangong Yi nodded and continued. "These people specialize in archaeological research in the Yuan Dynasty, and they are extremely dedicated, but whenever any cultural relics related to the Yuan Dynasty are unearthed and discovered, these Fusang people will appear, but they have no interest in archaeological discoveries before the Yuan Dynasty."
"So what these Fusang people want to explore is the affairs of the Yuan Dynasty, no! To be exact, it should be the Mita chaebol who was funded behind them who wanted to explore. I rubbed my forehead, took a deep puff of my cigarette and muttered to myself. Why are the Fusang people so eager to explore the history of the Yuan Dynasty? ”
"To be precise, it should be archaeological research in the early Yuan Dynasty, and I have read the research records of these Fusang people, and they seem to be very focused on the rise and expansion of the early Yuan Dynasty." Nangong Yi helped me add.
I suddenly stopped in place, Gu Xiaoxiao Xiao Lianshan had seen three Fusang people before he came back, and at that time, Xiao Lianshan angrily rebuked the Fusang people, and warned that if he didn't die, the Fusang people would never want to set foot in that place!
That place refers to......
"The paper used in the letter is Shengxuan, which is the paper of the Yuan Dynasty, which is at least more than 500 years ago, that is, if there is really a treasure, it should also be related to the Yuan Dynasty, and it is the Yuan Dynasty that the Fuso people have been studying archaeology." I suddenly looked at the others and said excitedly. "What the Fuso people have been looking for is probably the treasure recorded in the letters!"
"That's strange, when I investigated the background of these archaeological Fuso people, I found that the Mita chaebol has funded this archaeological research for more than 100 years, and has been sending people to investigate with perseverance, why do the Fuso people care so much about this treasure?" Nangong Yi was puzzled and muttered to herself.
"Presumably there are clues about the treasure in the letter, and the Fusang people learned that the letter was in the hands of Uncle Xiao, so they went to visit and were blown out, and Uncle Xiao and the Fusang people appeared in Yongning Village at the same time, so there is only one possibility, Uncle Xiao must have found that the treasure is related to Yongning Village in the letter, and the Fusang people are with him...... "Yun Duruo said this, and looked at me with an anxious face." In this way, Uncle Xiao's motive for killing was established, and Uncle Xiao found the Fusang people and had an argument, and finally killed the three people. ”
"It is impossible for him to kill people, not to mention that I am irrational and have any evidence, I know best what his character is, he has not yet reached the point where he wants to kill people." I shook my head resolutely and rejected Yun Duruo's hypothesis.
A knock on the door outside interrupted our discussion, Gu Xiaoxiao hurriedly came in, and said to me breathlessly, after she went back, she remembered that Xiao Lianshan and Gu Anqi immediately asked Gu Liancheng to talk to the three of them after getting the letter, and Gu Xiaoxiao also heard some words intermittently inadvertently.
"What else did Mom and Dad and Grandpa say?" I asked eagerly.
"Brother, I vaguely heard them mention you." Gu Xiaoxiao picked up the water and sat beside the prince, and in an instant, the prince's whole body became stiff and helpless.
"Mention me?!" I asked in surprise with a frown. "Tiny, what did they mention about me?"
"Where can I hear the specifics clearly, I listened to a few words intermittently, as if I was saying something that someone wants......" Gu Xiaoxiao said to me while thinking. Then I heard that it was my grandfather who mentioned you, as if he had opened some kind of enchantment or something. ”
"I open the enchantment?!" The more I listened, the more confused I became, frowning and thinking for a long time.
"That's right! Then I heard my grandfather tell my father that he must find a place first, and said...... "Gu Xiaoxiao wanted to speak and stopped, as if he didn't know whether to say it or not."
"Xiaoxiao, what else to say, we must help Dad clear his name, Dad won't say, if you don't say it, we won't be able to help him." I squatted in front of Gu Xiaoxiao and asked earnestly.
Gu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a long time before pursing her lips and looking at me and whispering to me.
"Grandpa told my dad that if he is blocked, he will be killed!"
