Chapter 15 The Green Gang Stick of the Treasure of Onishi

Let's say that Mr. Zheng sent many short-clothed gang disciples to search for traces of tranquility on both sides of the Jialing River, and also sent a disciple Li Yu to help the disciples who are skilled in water to find on the river, this Li Yu, nicknamed the mixed river dragon, acquaintances also called him carp, grew up by the Jialing River since he was a child, the water is very good, often swim from the south bank to the north bank of the river from the turbulent river, ordinary people have lost their lives, he said: "Who has ever heard of a carp drowning in the water?" Because he was bold and had good work ability, the giant Zheng Yi arranged for him to manage the shipping in the gang.

This day was the second day of Jinghe falling off the cliff, Li Yu knew that Zheng Yi was looking for someone urgently, early in the morning, he took two small boats to search down the river, and the two boats brought large nets, hooks and other tools, respectively, along the north and south banks of the river to slowly sprinkle the big nets, probing forward to observe, trying to find the trace of Jingzhen. In this way, at noon, I caught several buckets of river fish, nothing more than carp, catfish, silver carp, and even more than a dozen big-eyed mandarin fish and round-mouthed copper fish, the latter two kinds of fish are the most sought-after dishes in Yixiangyuan, and are deeply loved by dignitaries and nobles.

But they didn't care about being happy, and they were afraid of being scolded when they went back, and they searched for more than ten hours in a row but to no avail, and the disciple Jiao Liang, who cast the net, was a little anxious, scolded and threw off the net again, walked for a while, walked through the fork of the intersection of the three rivers, pulled the net, and couldn't help but scold: "It's really moldy," there was a rotten wooden stake in the net, and there was nothing, so angry that Jiao Liang threw the wooden stake into the cabin, "Don't work."

"Fish head, what do you think this is?" The rowing disciple said that Li Yu was anxious in the season, and was worried about how to explain to Mr. Zheng, and took a look at the cabin, it turned out that the wooden stake was cracked, leaking out three golden gold ingots, and then opened the wooden stake, and there were two gold ingots, a total of five fifty taels of gold ingots, turned over the ingots and looked, there were three back engraved "Luoyang Wangfu gold ingots fifty taels", two back engraved "Xiangyang Wangfu gold ingots fifty taels".

Because the disciples of the Mo family advocated the concepts of thrift, burial, diligence and frugality, and did not think about greedy ink, they hurriedly reported to the head Li Yu, Li Yu saw that things were unusual, and hurriedly ordered the boat to lean to the south bank, so that a reliable disciple on the boat could report to Zheng Yi, and instructed another boat to also come closer, and fished in the section of the Wangjiang River just now, but never saw the wooden stake again.

Seeing Zheng Yi coming, Li Yu hurriedly ordered the boat to dock, saw Zheng Yi, and handed the rotten wooden stake and gold ingots to Zheng Yi, Zheng Yi didn't say a word, arranged for someone to wrap the things, handed them to Li Yu on horseback to the academy, and gathered the other disciples of the two boats together, and ordered a few cronies to return to the academy with him, and sent two disciples to summon Master Juejing and Yuan Tiandi to the academy as soon as possible.

Under the leadership of the master Zheng Yi, the disciples of the Mo family galloped back to the academy and walked across the Guanyin Temple Bridge.

There is a Wang Jushi who has no children for many years, last year in front of the Guanyin Bodhisattva made a vow, donated ten taels of sesame oil money, hoping that the Bodhisattva will help him complete the wish of having a child to pass on the generation, the result is this year to fulfill the wish, happy to add Lin'er, hereby come to the Guanyin Temple today to restore.

Wang Jushi and his servants lit incense and candles, set off a thousand firecrackers, and the "crackling" exploded suddenly, and the horses under Li Yu's seat were suddenly frightened, and their front hooves took off, and they overturned Li Yu to the ground at once, and the package on his back fell from mid-air to the bluestone slab on the ground, and the rotten wooden stakes fell into wood chips, and five gold ingots were also scattered on the ground.

Someone next to him knew the goods, "Luoyang Wangfu gold ingots, Xiangyang Wangfu gold ingots, Daxi treasure is here, where did you find it?" Where did you find it? Tell me, tell me", the person who looked like a teacher seemed to know the treasure of Onishi, and grabbed Li Yu's shirt like crazy and asked, and suddenly, those who offered incense to Guanyin, watched the excitement, sold sugar gourds, sold incense, set up stalls to ask hexagrams, etc., all boiled, "The treasure of Onishi is in the world."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zheng Yi and the disciples gathered over, put away the gold ingots, grabbed the pieces of the wooden stake and got on the horse and left, leaving a group of noisy people behind, and there was a rush of scolding behind the horse's buttocks.

Don't sigh, some people say that money can make ghosts grind, the power of money is huge, Master Juejing and Yuan Tiandi have not yet sat down in the inner hall, and the entrance of Zhendao Academy is already full of people. "Zheng Yi came out, the black-clothed gang master came out, return my treasure to me", "The short-clothed gang, take my ingots and return it to me", "Mr. Zheng, please go to Yixiangyuan to set up hundreds of tables of flowing water seats, I don't know the taste of meat for three months." ”

There was also a Central Plains accent called Hanako, looking at the allegro and singing in unison: "The aunt is good, the uncle is good, pity me a poor bastard, give a bun, give a soup, I wish you a long life and health." ”

Ye Xun and Sang Luo came back from carrying water from the river, were blocked at the door, saw the crowd at the door, the peach forest at the gate became a place for drowning in the three religions and nine streams, Sang Luo was so angry that he cried pear blossoms with rain, the peach blossoms fell, and the Fangfei fell all over the ground, crushed into dust, and crushed into red dust.

After a while, in the distance of the peach forest, a team of elite horsemen of the green battalion and the errand servants of Chongqing Mansion rushed to the gate of the academy. "Inform Mr. Zheng that the old man of the Chongqing Mansion is here," one of the officers shouted with a smile.

After Zheng Yi and Master Juejing came out, Pan Yue walked up with a smile on his face, and asked the messenger to drive away the people who were surrounding the gate of the academy, "This mansion and Lord Bantu are here, I have something important to see Mr., I am disturbed," Pan Zhifu hugged his fists in courtesy, and Bantu and the others followed behind and walked into the courtyard.

"When the two adults come, there must be something important, please come into the inner hall to speak," Zheng Yi said, welcoming Governor Pan and Bantu into the inner hall, and serving tea, "Is Lord Pan coming today for Ling Gongzi's illness?" Zheng Yi listened to the shouts at the gate from time to time, pretending not to know.

"Thank you Mr. Zheng for his benevolence and dedication to the child, Pan is grateful, I received a report and came for the treasure of Daxi, congratulations sir, you have made a fortune," Pan Zhifu and Bantu smiled at each other, pointed to a few pieces of wood in Bantu's hand and said.

Zheng Yi waved his hand, and Li Yu brought up the five gold ingots and rotten wood chips, "This is the property we found when we were looking for people in the river, please take a look at it," Zheng Yi said.

"I and Lord Pan came this time, not for personal reasons, but someone reported the case, your gang found the whereabouts of the treasure of Daxi, and took it as a private property, Mr. Zheng, the treasure of Daxi is a national asset, it is the ill-gotten wealth looted by Zhang Xianzhong, the matter is big, Mr. should think twice", Bantu said.

"Master Ban, you are wrong, Zheng and his brothers found this green gang stick and the property in it when they were searching for the people who fell into the river, and there was no other gain, and they were about to report to the official, and the two adults had already come to the door, and Zheng was willing to donate to the victims of the disaster in Chongqing," Zheng Yi said.

"If you don't believe it, you can ask the relevant people today to interrogate you carefully," Zheng Yi continued.

"Just trouble Mr. Zheng to call out the relevant people, don't leave out one person, otherwise, the matter is very important, Ban Mou was ordered by the imperial court to handle this case, and the law is not merciful," Bantu Zhengse said.

"Adults rest assured, Zheng is selfless in his heart, he doesn't do bad things, and he doesn't slap ghosts and call the door," Zheng Yi's face sank and replied coldly.

"That's fine, Master Pan, please follow Mr. Zheng's list, bring the people back to the Yamen, coordinate with Lord Wang Lusheng to inquire separately, and make a record for my review, and I will have a good chat with Mr. Zheng in the academy," Bantu said to Governor Pan.

According to Zheng Yi's list, Governor Pan and Wang Lusheng brought people back to the government with a group of messengers to inquire, Bantu picked up the tea bowl, took a sip and said: "Mr. Zheng, Ban is ordered by the imperial court, if you are offended, please do more Haihan." ”

"My lord, leading the court and being ordered by the court, the branch should be, don't be polite," Zheng Yi replied.

"After Zhang Xianzhong's uprising, from Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Hubei to Sichuan, all the way to burn and loot, he robbed the king of Luoyang, the king of Xiangyang and the government treasury of various places, robbed and killed the gentry, and accumulated wealth of tens of millions, far more than the wealth plundered by the thief Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng's subordinate general Liu Zongmin looted 80 million taels of silver in the capital, why Zhang Xianzhong's billions?" Bantu said.

"Shi Niu to the stone drum, gold and silver are ten thousand five, who can see through it, buy Chengdu Mansion," there was a folk ballad that said, after all, it is a ballad, it is just an ethereal legend, Zheng Yi said.

"If it's a rumor, then where did your gold ingots come from today? The physical evidence is conclusive, how do you explain it? Bantu asked retorted.

"What I said just now is true, and Governor Pan and Lord Wang will know the truth when they come back after questioning," Zheng Yi couldn't help but say with a frost on his face.

"It is said that before Zhang Xianzhong withdrew from Chengdu, he did a sensational, but very abnormal thing, he gathered tens of thousands of migrant workers, built a high embankment in the Jinjiang River, at first no one knew Zhang Xianzhong's intentions, and later found that Zhang Xianzhong dug a big pit more than ten zhang deep in the downstream of the embankment, and thousands of cars were transported day and night for several days, and all Zhang Xianzhong's gold and silver treasures were poured into the big pit." Bantu said.

"Stone ox to stone drum, gold and silver ten thousand five, who can see through it, buy Chengdu Mansion," the statement is also well documented, because in Chengdu Mansion, the imperial court set up a special inspection bureau in the Sichuan Governor's Yamen, which has a lot of strange people, and they dug up a stone tablet, and what is engraved is the words on it," Bantu said.

"If the rumors are true, then the mouth of the Jialing River in Chongqing is at least 300 miles away from the Jinjiang River in Chengdu Prefecture. When it comes to hidden treasures, it's far from the same! Zheng Yi replied.

"At the mouth of the Jialing River, there is also a case of hidden treasures, which also involves the treasure of Daxi, however, this matter is still doubtful, and it has been seen in recent days that Mr. needs to help, if Mr. refuses, then, today's bureau, Ban can not help", Bantu said.

"Master Ban was appointed by the imperial court to deal with the case of the Great Tibetan Treasure, and the country's border troubles are frequent, the treasury is empty, if the disciples of the Mo family can contribute to the country, Zheng will never dare to resign," Zheng Yiyi said solemnly.

"Good, good, Mr. is worthy of being the current Mo family giant, not only excellent medical skills, loyal to the country, and someone in Ban admires him", Bantu said with a bow.

In August of the third year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong led the 500,000 troops of the Great Western Army to the north to resist the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong was shot to death by the prince of the Qing Dynasty in the Phoenix Mountain in Xichong, Zhang Xianzhong died after the army was in chaos, suffered heavy casualties, and fled in shock. Zhang Xianzhongyi's descendants Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi collected the remnants and more than 10,000 people in the crisis, and carried food, jewelry, gold and silver from Shunqing to the south, galloping hundreds of miles day and night, and escaping death.

In December, when the Daxi army marched to the north of the Chongqing River, it encountered the Southern Ming Dynasty commander-in-chief Zeng Ying led the troops to block the attack, and the Nanming army used rockets and red-coated artillery on the shore to storm the Dashun military ships, and the grain, baggage, and jewelry ships were overloaded, and dozens of ships sank after heavy artillery, and many Dashun soldiers and their dependents fell into the water and could not be rescued, and the grain, gold, silver and jewelry also sank in the river.

"The peasant army ran out of food for more than ten days, rushed across the Yangtze River, killed Zeng Ying, and hundreds of thousands of Ming troops collapsed in an instant. Wang Zhaolin, the prime minister of the left, once instigated Zhang Xianzhong to kill the soldiers and the people in vain, Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons executed Wang Zhaolin, who was resented by everyone, and took advantage of the victory to enter the Qijiang River, and then went out of Sichuan to fight in Yunnan, and took refuge in the Yongli Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

"The wooden stake that Mr. salvaged from the mouth of the river, called the Qinggang stick, it is made of two and a half barrels buckled, about three feet long, about half a foot thick, and hollow in the middle, which was made by Zhang Xianzhong for storing gold and silver. This treasure chest is made of golden silk nanmu wood, which is hard and non-perishable, and is the same as the wood used in the coffins of royal nobles.

"Most people in this Qinggang Bangchuan have heard of it, and sure enough, how can I help serve the country, but please make it clear," Zheng Yi said.

"I have quickly informed the Governor of Sichuan, Lord Huang Tinggui, that the capable people of the Exploration Bureau will rush to Chongqing, and they will arrive tomorrow, and have reported to the imperial court, this is an opportunity for your gang to report to the imperial court.

"My lord praises falsely, how dare Zheng be, as a giant, the Mo family inheritance family rules must be known, we just want to practice the inheritance of the Mo family ancestors, and helping the world and saving people is my will to help," Mr. Zheng said.

While the two were talking, Wang Lusheng rode back with the green battalion soldiers and said to Bantu: "My lord, the lowly post and the prefect Pan have completed their errands, and they are hereby returning to the court. ”

"What is the truth, report it according to the truth", Bantu stood up and said.

"My lord, I and Lord Pan separately interrogated the relevant people, etc., the caliber is basically the same, the black-clothed gang related people searched from both sides of the river yesterday, in fact, they were looking for a cliff nun named Jinghe, that Jinghe is the disciple of Mr. Zheng's friend Master Juejing, when the three of them went to the mountain to catch the red feather fire-bellied golden chicken, Jinghe was bitten by a pit viper on the mountain, and encountered a black bear chasing, unfortunately fell off the cliff of Nanshan, there was no trace, and when the net was searched in the river, these gold were found, and there was no treasure map and other harvests, please make a clear decision," Wang Lusheng replied.

"In addition, I have arranged for the Green Battalion General Daniel Zhang and Chongqing Prefect Pan Yue to send 300 soldiers and messengers to patrol the Jiangkou River section, prohibiting net fishing and diving.

"That's very good, Lord Wang has worked hard," Bantu said and said to Zheng Yi, "I will immediately ask your gang to come back, please Duo Haihan, goodbye," Bantu smiled meaningfully at Zheng Yi and said goodbye.

And most of the people and people at the door also dispersed, leaving only the beggar of the Central Plains with more than a dozen beggars singing at the door, only to see him holding a branch with some red paper tied on it, shaking it and saying:

Persuade all the gentlemen in the world to practice righteousness first.

The three religions and nine streams are one family, and everyone should spend to make a fortune.

The righteousness and squandering wealth is called Song Jiang, and the righteousness is spread in all directions.

Don't spend ill-gotten gains, because they harm your children and your family.

He sang tactfully and fluently, rhyming and rapping in dialect, beating his chest, abdomen and belly, crossing his legs, vivid and funny, with a sly glint in his eyes, singing while looking in the direction of the courtyard.

Ye Xun'er knows that they are the disciples of the Chongqing rudder of the beggar gang, and they are in the same gang as the leprosy head and the old Hua, and the old Huabai Santong is the master of the Chongqing rudder.

"You're Xiao Bianjing, right, stop singing, your third master Bai asked you to make trouble? Why didn't you come to the leprosy, I always called Hua to let you go back," Ye Xun said to the little Bian Jing.

"You know me, don't fool me, I'll go back first, and we'll settle the account later," he looked at Ye Xun in confusion, turned his head and ran away with a group of people called Hanako.
