Chapter 492: The Golden Family

Bai Lang thought to himself: "Well, exactly as I guessed, this old wallet is indeed from the Erji family of the ancient Mongolian kingdom, which is also known as the Khan's "Golden Family". I searched for it for three years before I heard from a thrift dealer that the old wallet had been bought by a blind masseuse for three dollars. At that time, I was so anxious that I was like a fly without a head, and I really didn't know what to do. Because, there is a secret map hidden in this wallet, and no one knows about this matter except for me Bailang. ”

Bai Lang's level of research on the architecture of ancient mansions, old mansions, and those of the former wealthy families has far surpassed those experts and scholars in the field. Through this vast knowledge, he has found treasures in the ancient mansion many times.

Through research, he determined that this family crest was the ancestral family crest of the Erji family.

And for the seemingly absurd legend of this wealthy family, he has also studied it clearly. It is said that one of the ancestors of this family once drew a map on which a huge treasure site was marked. Later, the map fell into the hands of his children and grandchildren.

This ancestor was a commander in the ancient Mongolian army. In the distant Middle Ages, the ancient Mongol armies made expeditions to Western Asia and Eastern Europe, from 1218 to 1259 for the last time, but each time they were almost always victorious.

The ancestors of the Erji family also participated in this crusade and made great contributions in the battle, thus obtaining the title of Captain of Ten Thousand Masters and obtaining a vast fief. The captain was a heavy drinker, and always prepared a leather bag full of fine wine to put on his saddle before each battle.

This unstoppable and unstoppable captain was also a very devout Buddhist. Whether participating in battles or at home, it is said that he carries with him a beautifully decorated parchment cover sutra.

The vast fiefdom of the Captain used to contain his high-class residence and garden, but by today, those things have long since disappeared, leaving only a vast grass.

It turned out that the three successive generations of descendants after Captain Wan were all good wine, and they drank all the inheritance of their ancestors. Of course, they have also heard that there is a large treasure left by their ancestors buried somewhere. They had also spent all their money trying to find the secret map that hinted at the location of the treasure, but it turned out to be in vain.

In the third generation, that is, the last wealthy family, there was a hereditary commander of a thousand. Not only was he a drinker, but he was also addicted to gambling, and his entire fortune was ruined. Then, a fire broke out, and the commander went bankrupt completely. Their land was sold to other nobles, and the little sundries they had left were bought by the thrift sellers.

At that time, the commander was single. In fact, he had a wife, but his wife could not tolerate his decadent lifestyle and left early. He also had no sons and half daughters, and in the end, in the midst of bitter despair and infinite remorse, he committed suicide by drinking poison.

These are the true stories that Shirarou has obtained through careful investigation.

Subconsciously, he thought that the map that hinted at the treasure must be stored in a black parchment. However, he had no conclusive evidence.

However, based on his experience, the treasure map, or other map, was usually kept in a wallet that he carried with him. If it is a woman, most of it will be stored in the corsage.

At the same time, judging from the surname of the Thousand Commanders, it seems that some kind of revelation can also be found.

The meaning of the so-called Erji is the "Golden Family". Therefore, he concluded that there was a ninety percent chance that the secret map was a place where gold was hidden. Now that his conjecture had been confirmed, he was very proud.

However, when he studied the diagram carefully, he was very disappointed.

It turned out that this map was only half of the cipherland. So, where is the other half?...... He fell into deep thought. He looked at the family crest over and over again, and read the three sentences on it over and over again, and he didn't know how many times.

"The words of the man of God and gold, and the ageing, are my treasures...... Oh, it's my family treasure...... Oh...... It is my family's treasure ......, and it is completely understandable that this old master who loves wine as much as his life regards the words of the gods and the aging as treasures. Therefore, gold, the words of the gods, the ageing, these three things, for him, are all treasures that are slightly inferior to life. ”

Bai Lang thought about it, and the image of a drunken iron cavalry warrior with a majestic style on horseback flashed in his mind. He imagined this warrior on the battlefield again, invincible and heroic, and unconsciously smiled.

Suddenly, his smile was gone, replaced by a gloomy cloud. Then, he said "um". This is due to the fact that he has discovered another important clue, that the warrior always wears the leather bag full of old wine on his horse when he fights.

"If the bag is made of sheepskin...... Well, things are going to be bad. The next day, Bai Lang set out for a long journey west to the former site of the Erji family.

A month later, Bai Lang came to the western grasslands of Gumeng. The site of the former marquis's residence has now been turned into a farmer's vegetable garden and orchard.

There is no trace of the house that burned down in the fire, but the basement is still there. There is a new two-story farmhouse built on top of the basement.

Around the house, there is a high wall that was built in those days.

Bai Lang got out of the carriage and came to the side of the farmhouse, where he saw the gate tightly closed, and a few villagers and An were still there. In the vegetable garden and orchard inside the gate, there were many young people walking back and forth, all holding shotguns, sticks and other weapons in their hands.

"What happened?"

Shirarou asked a nearby security guard.

"The thief stole something from here."

"When was it stolen?"

"Two weeks ago."

"Two weeks ago?" Bai Lang was stunned for a moment, "You haven't caught it yet?"

"Nope."

"You ran away a long time ago, didn't you?"

"No signs of escape were found. Because, at all, there is simply no way for the thief to escape. Since the day of the crime, this door has been closed, and the tall stone walls around it are impossible for anyone to climb through. \"

"So, is it hidden in the room?"

"Every room was searched, even the basement...... No valuable clues were found, but the thief was nowhere to be found. ”

"He's a powerful thief." Bai Lang said with a smile.

"No, it won't be a person with any high skills, probably a beggar."

"What? A beggar?"

"Yes. The old beggar begged for food in this village, and despite his age, he was still a cunning scoundrel. ”

"On what basis is it him?"
