Chapter 244: Ruins of the Qian Dynasty
The next day, the turmoil in the capital continued.
First of all, there are rumors that Princess Wei Cheng led someone to assassinate the prime minister of the dynasty, but she was arrested, and now she is being sent to prison and waiting for her to be released.
This incident has set off a lot of waves in the palace and the court, and at the same time, the people are also surging.
The news that the Liao State obtained the location of the relics at the poetry meeting yesterday quickly spread among the envoys of various countries.
There was a long queue at the door of the inn where the envoys of the Liao Kingdom stayed, and the outside was full of people from all over the world who came to visit for various reasons. They barricaded the inn, apparently trying to force out the location of the ruins.
For a while, the people of Liao were a little angry.
Xiao Yuanhua was dissatisfied: "Second brother, these people are really bold, they even dare to block our door, they are tired of being crooked!"
"Why don't we go out and make an example of the monkeys and drive them all away!" A middle-aged man next to him suggested.
But the second prince, Xiao Chengye, shook his head thoughtfully: "This is the Southern Wei Dynasty, not the Liao Kingdom, no matter how much we kill chickens and monkeys, they will not be afraid." On the contrary, if we kill too many people, we will be targeted by the Southern Wei government."
"Does Southern Wei have that guts? I think you're just too cautious, second brother!" Xiao Yuanhua was dissatisfied with his second brother, and his tone at this time was also a little ugly.
Xiao Chengye had a good temper, and he was not angry at this time, but just ordered, "Announce the location of the Qianchao ruins."
"Huh?" The crowd was dumbfounded.
Xiao Yuanhua glared even more and said, "Second brother, we worked so hard to get the position, just tell others casually?"
"It's also because you are in trouble in the Southern Wei Palace." Xiao Chengye glared at Xiao Yuanhua angrily, Xiao Yuanhua immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.
Xiao Chengye then explained, "Don't forget, that ruin is said to be in danger, and when the previous emperor of the Southern Wei Dynasty discovered that place, he even listed it as a forbidden place for the imperial family!"
"So, the second prince wants to deliberately put the position out so that others can test the water first?" Someone next to him suddenly realized.
"Yes, it's not a bad thing to wait and see." Xiao Chengye nodded, his personality has always been so steady, otherwise he would not have made a career in Liao.
Only then did everyone nod and retreat, and a few people went out with the files of the Southern Wei Dynasty to announce the news.
The people waiting outside saw the dossier of the Southern Wei Dynasty with their own eyes, and they also saw with their own eyes the location of the ruins recorded on it.
The relics of the Qian Dynasty in the territory of the Southern Wei Dynasty are at the junction of Jingzhou and Chuzhou, in the northeast of the capital and in the southeast of Dongxingcheng.
The location is an extremely dense mountain forest, about 200 miles away from the capital, and is called Hailing by the Southern Wei people. It is so called because the mountain range is not far from the sea.
Finally got the position, and everyone no longer hesitated, and they packed up their things and set off for the mountain forest that day.
In fact, it only takes half a day to reach the destination.
So in the afternoon, the first group of people to set off arrived at Hailing.
After searching in the mountains and forests, they did find a waterfall surrounded by iron chains, and there was a sign on it that read, "The Southern Wei Imperial Family Forbidden Land, No Approach."
"This place is the second relic of the Qian Dynasty!"
"However, this is clearly a waterfall, and there is only a pool of spring water underneath, where is the entrance? Isn't it under the water?" Someone muttered.
Everyone knows that the relics of the Qianzhou Dynasty are actually the tombs left by the Qianchao.
They came to look for treasures, and to put it bluntly, they were tomb robbers, and they were digging up dead people's things.
But where is such a waterfall like a burial grave?
There were many people present who had participated in the excavation of the ruins in Qianyuan City and had some experience, so they camped directly at this time, and said lightly: "I'm afraid it will take a long time to get in, let's be cautious and work slowly."
Seeing this, the others also followed and camped in the surrounding area, preparing to stay longer.
At the same time, more and more people set off from the capital to Hailing, and the huge momentum soon spread into the palace.
Wei Qing muttered, "They all went to Hailing, and I don't know if it's good or bad, alas."
"Not necessarily for them, but for us, it's certainly a good thing." Shen Yunfan smiled mysteriously.
"Why?"
Shen Yunfan just took out a map and explained it to Wei Qing.
It turns out that the entire Hailing is located at the junction of Jingzhou and Chuzhou, with mountains and almost no human population.
The nearest town is a port city on the edge of the East China Sea, called Dongxing Port, which is under the jurisdiction of Dongxing City in Chuzhou.
Almost seventy percent of the commercial market in Dongxing City is traded in Dongxing Port. Foreign goods also had to be transported to the port by sea first, and then sent to Dongxing City by Chudong official road.
It is such a trade route that has made Dongxing City such an extremely prosperous city.
However, Dongxing City and Dongxing Port are very prosperous, but the Chudong official road in the middle has to pass through the mountains and forests of Hailing, so it is deserted.
"Those people are camped in Hailing, there is no food and no water, let's go to business, we will make a lot of money!" Shen Yunfan said with a smile.
"I see!" Wei Qing was overjoyed, they didn't plan to compete for the so-called treasures in the first place, if they could take this opportunity to make some money, it would be a really good thing!
So it didn't take long for a holy decree to be sent to Dongxing City.
When Cheng Liang, the Taishou of Dongxing City, saw the holy decree, he immediately began to prepare, and sent many caravans to Hailing, preparing to make a lot of money from the hands of the magnates of various countries.
However, although Shen Yunfan didn't want to compete for the treasure, he was still a little curious about the things inside the ruins.
Therefore, he specially arranged a group of five-way ghosts to investigate intelligence, take turns to report back the daily situation of the ruins, and also monitor those Gentiles by the way to prevent them from doing anything out of line.
Originally, it was thought that this excavation would take a long time to bear fruit.
But what I didn't expect was that it was only the third day, and a very strange piece of information came back from there.
This information made Shen Yunfan feel a little chill down his spine, and even felt a little scared......
