Chapter 407: Heartbeat
"I see, Mr. Yuping. Please show me the gold coins in your hand. Liang Jiwen, an old notary, said.
"Okay!" Without hesitation, Tang Ping took out the gold coins from the pocket of his vest.
Zhao Di stretched out her head to look at the side and found that his gold coins were the same as those in his hand.
"It's a real gold coin, it's true! So the next one...... Are you from Gannam?
"Not bad! I live in Gannan and my name is Mi Lid. ”
"Mr. Mialee, may you please tell me, how did you learn this secret?" Mi Lide put the pipe in his mouth back into his pocket, and said:
"I know very little about this secret! Not long after I was born, both my parents passed away, and my uncle raised me. Three days earlier, my uncle had handed me the coin and confessed:
"It's something your grandfather left behind. It is said that those who get this gold coin can own a large amount of wealth.
"However, my uncle seems to have half a deny for this rumor. I have also heard from others that my father left a message when he was alive that I should come to this island at noon on July 12 this year. I did what he said. ”
Milid didn't seem to have much hope of getting that fortune.
"In any case, as a son, you should follow your father's orders, please take out the gold coins in your hands too!"
Mireid also handed over the gold coins.
"That's right, this coin is also real! You also have the right to a share of the treasure. 3rd place...... You look like a soldier! ”
The man with the soldier's hat on his head didn't seem to care, and simply said, "Yes!"
Then he took out a piece of paper from his pocket. It was his ID card, and it stated that his name was Yokuchi.
Yokuchi then silently took out the gold coin, which was also a real gold coin.
"Fourth ......"
"I'm from eastern Sichuan, and my name is Gu Jiawu. The coins are here, please see! My father was born in the army, and I also served as an officer, and I fought with my father against Army E in Xudong.
"Unfortunately, my father gave his life for his country. While sorting through his belongings, I found a gold coin in my pocket, but my father had never mentioned its origin to me until then. ”
"And how did you get here?"
"I didn't come here specifically, but I felt that the words engraved on the surface of the gold coin were a little strange and strange. So, after I went to my father's grave to worship and offer flowers, I stopped here. ”
"Really? You also have the right to share in the treasure. Liang Jiwen said.
At this moment, Zhao Di, who had been silent, suddenly asked:
"Mr. Notary, do you mean that all those present today have the right to a share of the treasure? But what is the treasure?"
"Hmm...... This ......"
Liang Jiwen seemed embarrassed and said, "Miss...... In fact...... I don't know. ”
"What? You don't know?"
Zhao Di screamed in shock.
"Then why did you come here from Hengduo Town?"
"I've already explained this point. There is a gentleman who asked me to keep the will on my behalf, and the main reason why I have come to meet you at this place is to fulfill my duty to announce the details of the will to you. However, I don't know exactly what was written in the suicide note. ”
"Is that will in your bag right now?"
"Not bad! Because this is an important document, I have kept it well, lest I lose it and live up to my husband's high hopes. ”
Liang Jiwen said as he stroked the leather bag with his fingers.
"In that case, let's ask Mr. Notary to start announcing the will, what do you think?" Miale suggested.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll do what you want! However, before I publish the will, I will tell you about the process of giving it to me.
"About fourteen years ago, when I was in charge of the town notary's office, my predecessor told me when he handed over his official duties:
"Oh! By the way, one more thing, there's a document that needs to be handed over to you, and someone has kept a letter with me! With that, he turned around and went to the safe, took out a letter, and handed it to me. ”
Liang Jiwen took out a letter from his bag and presented it to everyone.
It was a worn, yellowed envelope, tightly sealed with red wax, and the cover read:
This document is to be safeguarded by the notary public, Mr. Ye Yun and his successors, and this large envelope shall be solemnly opened at noon on July 12, 1940, in front of the large clock in Meicheng, in the presence of all persons concerned.
The so-called related person refers to the person who holds the pure gold coins specially created by the person. The gold coin is engraved with a few words - luck is in the hall of diligence and thrift, and the reverse side is also engraved - the first few words in front of the large clock in Meicheng at noon on July 12, 1940.
The notary must publish the contents of the letter in the presence of the person concerned.
The old notary continued:
"However, what kind of character is Mr. Ye Yun, the notary public indicated above? What era is he? Not only me, but even my predecessor didn't know where he really came from.
"Out of curiosity in the past, I quietly checked the information and learned that this Mr. Ye Yun was actually an old man two hundred years ago. However, I still don't understand how the letters of the people of Meicheng two hundred years ago came to Hengduo Town.
"According to my speculation, perhaps in the middle of the eighteenth century, the owner of the Meicheng Mansion led his family and subordinates to move to Hengduo Town for some specific reason, and then handed over the letters he had written to the notary in Hengduo Town.
"Anyway, from the middle of the eighteenth century to the present day, the letter has been kept in the notary office of the town of Hengduo. During this time, each notary of Hengduo was carefully kept in a safe.
"It is my good fortune that I will now publish this letter before all of you with my own hands."
As he spoke, the old notary Liang Jiwen let out a long sigh, took off the reading glasses on his face, and stared at the people present.
This mysterious document is finally about to be revealed. Zhao Di and the other four men all had their hearts pounding, and they all stared at the old envelope in the notary's hand.
Two hundred years had passed, and the letter had turned maroon, and the wax on the seal had cracked.
Liang Jiwen used a small sharp knife to remove the wax from the seal, and took out a piece of parchment paper folded in four from inside.
I saw that the parchment was engraved with neat and neat Song characters.
"I'm going to read it!"
After Liang Jiwen finished speaking, he put his glasses on the bridge of his nose again.
Everyone present held their breath and listened attentively, lest they miss a word.
