Chapter 50

So true

……

I, Jiang Yonghui, have been in this ghost place where birds don't and there is no light of day for five whole years. Like, I'm tired of making almost no progress in the past five years. Boss Dai is angry, but I can't help it.

A lot of manpower and material resources have made us find some clues. But so what, we haven't even found a shadow of the treasure. Not to mention going deep to explore and investigate.

I miss my wife and my kids so much. I haven't been able to see each other for several years, and I don't know if their orphans and widows are doing well.

Due to the nature of my work, I had to cut off all contact with them. And in fact, it is the whole society that is cut off. I, and a group of my brothers, were isolated and cut off from the world.

No one knows we exist because everyone who knows has disappeared from this world. In fact, we are also a forgotten group of people. I'm afraid that except for Boss Dai, no one knows if we are dead or alive.

Is this my life, or is this the back half of my body? No, I don't want to. Now, what I hope most is to find that treasure as soon as possible and get my freedom back.

Then again, though. I know Boss Dai's character too well, if I really find that batch of treasures for the party-state. Chances are, my brothers and I will really disappear from this world.

I can only smile bitterly, this is my fate, the fate of being a party leader. Boss Dai taught us that everything must be fought for the interests of the party-state. Yes, that's what I did. The interests of the party-state are above all else, and I do the same. For the sake of the party-state, for the sake of Boss Dai, I can sacrifice everything, including my own life.

……

Today, we suddenly received an order from Boss Dai, asking us to prepare for a long-term lurking at all costs.

The situation is changing day by day, and today's party-state is no longer the party-state of the past. The defeat of the army, the successive victories of the communist army, and the successive defeats of the party-state heralded the complete collapse of the Nationalist Government. Like a mountain, it has been completely overthrown, and it is impossible to return to the way it was before.

Even though I am outside the world, I know the current situation inside and out. Boss Dai asked us to stay and prepare for a long period of incubation. In fact, I know why. It's nothing more than wanting us, a group of people who will never see the light of day, to continue looking for clues to the treasure.

As long as you have this treasure, the party-state can make a comeback. But I still doubt that it can really make a comeback. Even if you have the richest treasures of the country.

……

The meeting was held for several days and there was no perfect plan. It is indeed not easy to lurk in the new China led by the communist army. Although it is said that the communist army has not yet liberated the whole of China. But Boss Dai and the chairman of the committee have withdrawn to Taiwan, and it is only a matter of time before the communist army unifies China.

In the end, after unanimous deliberation, we made a decision and came up with the final plan. Of course, this scheme carries a certain amount of danger. So far, there's nothing else we can do.

Now that you have decided to stay, since you have decided to lurk. Well, there must be dangers, real and inevitable. We all swore a poisonous oath in front of the chairman of the committee to die allegiance to the party-state.

Death is not terrible, and my brothers and I have long since put death on the line. The terrible thing is that I can't complete the task. Lived up to the trust and cultivation of Boss Dai and the chairman.

……

The action is scheduled for tonight, and until then, we are fully prepared. It is bound to succeed in one fell swoop tonight and take Jiangwan Village.

For Jiangwan Village, in the past five years or so, I have understood it very clearly. In fact, from five years ago, when I set foot on this land, I was ready for today's action.

There are 133 people in Jiangwan Village, and in the past five years, I have arranged for 27 people to infiltrate Jiangwan Village and become one of them. Even the current village chief is my man.

Therefore, I am very confident that tonight's action will be a perfect success.

It's ridiculous that as a soldier, I couldn't fight on the battlefield, and I couldn't watch the Japanese devils obediently slip back to that projectile island country. Tonight, he will slaughter his own people with his own hands. Pathetic, alas!

……

That night, my brother and I threw more than 100 corpses into Taihu Lake. Then, they changed into their clothes and cleaned up the battlefield .

The whole operation went very smoothly and we did it cleanly and without leaving any traces.

That night, there was no word, and we all became members of Jiangwan Village. Yes, we replaced the original villagers. God lurked unconsciously, laying a perfect foundation for future work.

In this way, under my careful design, my group of brothers and I lived a normal life in Jiangwan Village. Until we find what we want.

……

It is clear that the new identity, the new life, did not attract the attention of the people in the surrounding area. After all, now there are wars everywhere and dead people everywhere . Who cares about paying attention to a small Jiangwan Village!

A few months later, I got bad news. The four bronze seals that opened the door to the treasure disappeared, and the entire investigation came to an impasse.

Without the bronze seal, it is equivalent to the work of more than five years in vain. So where do I go from here, and where do my brothers go?

Taiwan will definitely not be able to go, not to mention that it is now the world of the communist army. Even if we really risked our lives to go to Taiwan and didn't complete the task, Boss Dai and the chairman of the committee would not let us go.

The days go by, and for those of us, it's like years.

……

"Damn, dare to love those dead bodies were done by those people in the military command.' After reading the diary, Ruan Xiaotian was the first to stand up and express his opinion, "These turtle grandsons, they can really do it. Overnight, more than a hundred lives. You say, what is the difference between these turtle grandsons and the Japanese devils of the past.'

At noon the next day, Fang Xin and the others gathered in the living room of Jiang Han's house to study the diary that they brought out of the secret room.

After reading it, Xiaoxue frowned and said, "This diary is not complete, have you noticed it, there are defects in the front and back. Moreover, in the existing diaries, there is almost no mention of the investigation of the treasure. Do you think that's possible?'

At this time, Fang Xin stood up, paced two steps and said, "The missing part is very likely to be related to the treasure. They've gotten the Bronze Seal, and maybe they've actually gotten in. It's just that I don't know why, they still haven't been able to make it.'

Shen Kuo also stood up and said: "It should be artificial, it may be Jiang Yonghui himself, he doesn't want to let the clues he worked so hard to get and give them to others in vain. There is also the possibility that someone has already entered the secret room before us and taken all the clues about the treasure.'

'It's unlikely, isn't it?' Xiaoxue objected and said, "At that time, we all saw that the copper lock was rusted for a long time, and it was not rusted to that extent for decades."

Shen Kuo smiled coldly, and said, "I didn't say that someone only went in recently."

Fang Xin immediately said: "You mean, in Jiang Yonghui's time. Or shortly after Jiang Yonghui's death, someone went in and took all the information.'

Shen Kuo continued: "It's not impossible, don't forget, they transferred the entire villagers of Jiangwan Village overnight. They are all Jiang Yonghui's subordinates, and they must know about the existence of the secret room."

Everyone was talking, and as they were talking, Du Zijuan suddenly said, "Jiangwan Village?" Then, he stared at Fang Xin with a very strange gaze.

As if it could be contagious, everyone in this room suddenly stared at Fang Xin with that strange gaze. Seeing Fang Xin's heart, cold sweat came down in an instant.

'You ...... What are you doing here? Why are you looking at me like this, it's scary. Anyway, I've become a monster.' Fang Xin wanted to tell a joke to make fun of it, but no one could laugh.

Fang Xin's heart was bottomless, he couldn't help but take a few steps back. Du Zijuan took the opportunity to take a step forward and pressed towards Fang Xin. She said, 'Fang Xin, your hometown seems to be Jiangwan Village. Rather, you're the only one here from Jiangwan Village.'

'You...... What do you mean?'

Ruan Xiaotian suddenly slammed the table, and also approached Fang Xin and said, "Damn, I understand. You are from Jiangwan Village, and Jiangwan Village has been transferred. You are the descendant of the military commanders. Say, what is your purpose, and did you take the information in the secret room? You scum, be honest.

Fang Xin suddenly realized, his face changed suddenly, and he gave Ruan Xiaotian a punch and said, "What the fuck are you smoking, if I were a military commander, I would have killed you one by one, and I was still waiting for you to expose me."

Having said that, Fang Xin still felt that everyone's eyes were not right, and they were not very friendly. This feeling made Fang Xin extremely uncomfortable. Because he saw that even Xiaoxue seemed to be extremely distrustful of him.

The silence was broken by the sound of a door opening. Jiang Han walked in from outside, a pair of sharp eyes sweeping over everyone. Finally, he locked his eyes on Ruan Xiaotian.

Jiang Han heard the heated discussion just now, word for word. Only then did he say to Ruan Xiaotian, or to everyone present, "I always thought you were quite smart, at least, one or two of you are extremely smart. It seems that I was wrong, I overestimated you.'

Xiaoxue asked incomprehensibly: "Brother, what do you mean?" I don't quite understand.'

Jiang Leng snorted coldly and continued, "I believe that Fang Xin is not a descendant of some military commander. Don't you want to think about it, is the Kuomintang of today still the Kuomintang of the past? Those military commanders, after failing to complete the task, will obediently stay in Jiangwan Village, waiting to be killed.**Could it be that all of them are vegetarians, and they really don't know the mystery at all. You guys, you also underestimate the military commanders of the year, and you also underestimate the ** of the year.'

A sentence made the people present stunned. Ruan Xiaotian slapped his thigh, as if he had come back to his senses, and said, "Damn, yes, why didn't I think of it. Brother Fang, Fang Daxia, I'm sorry, my brother thought too much just now, I thought too much, hehe......

Fang Xin ignored him, but cast a grateful glance at Jiang Han. He didn't expect that Jiang Han would stand up and defend himself.

Shen Kuo frowned and asked, "There's a question I haven't been able to figure out, why are there murders in the town one after another?" Who did it? And why?'

This is also a problem that has plagued everyone for many days, everyone has a small abacus in their hearts, but on the key issue, everyone can't figure it out. If it's just a coincidence, it's just an accident, it's too much to say.

Jiang Han sat down next to Xiaoxue silently, gently stroking Xiaoxue's black hair. Then he faced the crowd and said, 'Don't think about it, I did it.'"

In the face of such an honest Jiang Han, everyone's hearts were shocked. Such an answer is something they have never thought of.

At first, they couldn't think of anyone who would do that. When Guo Xudong appeared, although they didn't say it, they all agreed in their hearts that the murderer must be Guo Xudong.

But today, Jiang Han admits that he is the murderer. This made the people present, in addition to the accident, an accident.

Fang Xin was the first to disbelieve it, his expression was gloomy, and he asked seriously: "What did you do, why?"

Xiaoxue couldn't believe her ears, she asked eagerly, 'Brother, did you really do it?'

Jiang Han squeezed a smile at the frightened Xiaoxue, and then said, "You don't have to doubt it, I did everything. I don't want to hide this, and there's no need to hide it. I didn't want to say that the time had not yet come, but now I can tell you.'

He swept around the crowd and was relieved to see that everyone was waiting for him to continue. In the end, his eyes fell on Xiaoxue beside him, and his tone softened a lot. He said, 'Xiaoxue, do you remember being insulted by a group of older children when you were a child?'

'Brother, okay, why did you bring this up again.' For Xiaoxue, it was a pain that could never be erased. All along, she has hidden it in the deepest part of her heart, and if she can't think of it, she tries not to think about it. But today, I don't know why Jiang Han brought it up again.

And what happened to Xiaoxue, Fang Xin also knew a little bit about it. Therefore, when Jiang Han mentioned it, he was also surprised. I can't figure out why Jiang Han, who is my elder brother, suddenly mentioned this. I couldn't help but feel that my face changed slightly.

Jiang Han didn't seem to see the subtle changes between the two people, and he said: "Brother once promised you that you must avenge Xiaoxue to wash away your shame.'"

'What do you say?' Xiaoxue exclaimed, "Brother, do you mean that these people are the ones who hurt me back then?" Such a piece of news surprised Xiaoxue a lot. She didn't know any of those people back then, let alone looked for them. Unexpectedly, Jiang Han kept it in his heart all the time, and he really avenged her. In addition to the accident, there is a little more sadness.

Jiang Han didn't deny it, he nodded and said, "It's them who hurt my sister. Therefore, I must not spare them. You may not know that these are the children and grandchildren of the military commanders back then.'

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was shocked. Around this topic, everyone discussed. I don't believe in them one by one, and the Kuomintang is still ready to move, which has become a military unification of history. Even Fang Xin was taken aback, not quite believing that this would be a real event.

Xiao Xue looked at Jiang Han and said, "No wonder, I have never known them all my life, how could they find me and ask me for some bronze seal. It turned out that they were military commanders.'

Jiang Han said: "It's a pity that something went wrong in the middle. I think you must have thought of it, it's that Guo Xudong. You almost lost your life and suffered a lot! It's my fault, it's me who didn't think it through.'

Wait, I don't understand what you're saying. You avenge Xiaoxue and what do you do with Guo Xudong. Do you have something else to hide from us.' Shen Kuo asked suddenly with an expressionless face.

Fang Xin and Xiaoxue also looked at Jiang Han at the same time, with questions and expectations in their eyes.

Jiang Han swept around the crowd again, and then sighed heavily and said, "Alas! Now is the time to tell you the truth.' He turned to look at Shen Kuo, and then said, "Shen Kuo, you must have guessed a few points when you asked this question. That's right, Guo Xudong's grandfather and I were one of the people who were lurking in the military command back then. So we have known the legend of the treasure for a long time, and we have been looking for clues all these years. It wasn't until you were involved that you finally had a little bit of an eyebrow. I murdered Hang Haiyan and them, so that Guo Xudong mistakenly thought that I was going to kill people and swallow the treasure. That's why they poisoned you and took away the bronze seal.'

Although Shen Kuo did guess a few points, he was still a little surprised when he heard Jiang Han admit it himself.

But Xiaoxue was surprised, she stared at Jiang Han for a long time before asking, 'Brother, are you...... Are you really a military commander? What about me, am I also a military commander? How come I have never heard you mention this since I was a child?'

Seeing that Xiaoxue asked so many questions in a row, Jiang Han laughed. He said, 'Silly girl, don't say it's you, even I'm not a military commander. What do you think we will do to dream of the Kuomintang's comeback! What age is it now, just a few of us, don't even think about it. We don't care about the Kuomintang military commanders, we are only interested in that batch of treasures.'

Fang Xin coughed twice, interrupting Jiang Han's words. He said, 'So, you also took the piece of silk we were given?'

'That's right, it's me.' Jiang Han said justifiably, "Brother, don't blame me. Actually, I didn't want you to get involved in this at first. There's too much risk, and I don't want unrelated ginseng to risk it. What's more, that piece of silk will not do anything if it is placed with you. Because you can't unlock the secret.'

So now you've unraveled it. Tell me, what does this piece of silk represent?' Fang Xin couldn't wait to ask.

Jiang Han changed his posture and continued: "At first, with the clues I learned about the treasure, I couldn't guess the secret hidden in the silk. It wasn't until Liu Ting's little girl was in Liu Shenglong's villa that she stumbled into it and found the blood gate, that I found the mystery of silk.'

'Are you saying there's some kind of connection between this piece of silk and the Blood Gate?' Shen Kuo also became more and more energetic the more he listened.

Jiang Han said: "You would never have imagined that silk is actually a map. The precise location of the four blood gates is clearly marked on it. I've done nothing else these days, but I've checked all the maps of ancient China and the town of Fenshuilin. And compare it with the maps of today, and guess what. It turned out that this was a map of the Tang and Song dynasties. To be more precise, it cannot escape the scope of five dynasties and ten kingdoms.'

Listening to Jiang Han's rambling words so much, Xiaoxue was still confused. She asked, 'But brother, even if we know the exact location of the Blood Gate, what does this have to do with the treasure?'

Jiang Han patted Xiaoxue's head lightly and said with a smile: "Relationship? I'm telling you, it's not just a relationship, it's a big deal. According to my research over the years, in order to find that treasure, you must first have four bronze seals. Because as long as there is a bronze seal, the bronze giant door can be opened. At the same time, on the way to the hidden treasure, there are four bronze doors, and the way to open them is within the blood door. That's why I'm going to try my best to get you out. Especially the four of you.' As he spoke, Jiang Han pointed to Du Zijuan, Jingzhi, Hu Jie, and Liu Ting and said, "Not everyone can enter the Blood Gate, and the four of you must not have anything to do."

When Liu Ting mentioned herself, she also had some questions: "But, we have entered the blood gate in the villa. Nothing but a few numbers. And we don't understand any of those numbers, we don't know what they mean.'

The numbers in the villa's blood door are all 1, 2, 3, and 4, and they seem to be irregular. Fang Xin, they have all seen it, and they really can't figure out what mysteries are contained in it.

Jiang Han hadn't seen the contents of the Blood Gate, but he seemed to know something. He said, 'You don't have to worry about this, when we enter the hinterland of Maoshan and see the real situation.'

'The hinterland of Maoshan?' Fang Xin and Shen Kuo said almost in unison, "You mean to say that the treasures were hidden in Xiaomao Mountain. But how is this possible?'

Jiang Han smiled slightly and said, "Nothing is impossible, according to the results of my investigation for many years, the treasure is within Xiaomao Mountain. And what we lacked before was the key to unlock the treasure.'

'The key to the treasure?' Xiaoxue asked curiously, 'What could that be?'

Ruan Xiaotian looked like he had just woken up, and he suddenly said, "Damn, Sister Xiaoxue, you still haven't understood. I understand everything, it's nothing more than the bronze seal, and the method of opening the blood door!"

'That's right, that's pretty much it.' Jiang Han said.

Xiaoxue was still a little confused, she said, "However, the bronze seal is no longer in our hands, and it was snatched away by Guo Xudong."

'Well, you don't have to worry, I have my own way.' Jiang Han continued, 'Now I'll talk about my personal plan, you see if this will work.'

Everyone stopped talking and calmed down to listen to Jiang Han. Jiang Han glanced at everyone, swallowed his saliva and said, "We must divide our troops into two routes, and the large army will follow me into the hinterland of Xiaomao Mountain. The other way goes to the other three blood gates to unlock the mysteries inside. I thought so, when we entered the hinterland of Xiaomao Mountain, we had no idea how dangerous it would be. Tossing back and forth is certainly unrealistic, so someone has to be outside to pick it up. In case there is any danger, it is better to have a way out and a countermeasure.'

Hu Jie, who hadn't spoken much, understood something when she heard this. She said, 'You mean, the four of us stay and solve the mystery of the Blood Gate?' Just the four of us?'

"Don't worry, I want to arrange for Ruan Xiaotian to accompany you." Jiang Han said, 'On the day of departure, I will arrange two people to protect you, and there should be no problems.'

'Holy.' When Ruan Xiaotian heard this, he stood up with a swish, "Why me?"

Jiang Han smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be good for you to be a flower messenger and have four such beautiful and beautiful girls to accompany you?"

When Ruan Xiaotian heard this, he was overjoyed and stopped saying anything. Among them, Jiang Han has another meaning. Women and Ruan Xiaotian are both burdens, and following the big army can only be a drag, and there will never be anything good.

Of course, he didn't say that. At the end of the day, he needs the help of these people. It is not a wise move to tear off the skin at this time.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Jiang Han said: "If everyone has no opinion, it's decided. Everyone can go and relax now. If all goes well, we'll go the day after tomorrow.'

'Damn, the day after tomorrow, in such a hurry?'

'Alas! I can't help but be in a hurry! We're running out of time!'
