Chapter 937: First Side Quest
Under the leadership of Elias David Sassoon, the concubine and the other four found a secret door to the basement in a hidden place in the main building of the manor.
After entering, I saw that in a basement with an area of thirty or forty square meters, there were many large and small boxes.
At this time, the concubine also fulfilled her promise, kicked the duck slice seller's knee, made him kneel on the ground, and cut off the skull of the goods with a knife.
Because in her hand, after opening a small box.
In the light of the candlestick in their hands, they could immediately see what was inside, which were bundles of pound sterling banknotes.
Although the face value of it is not large, it is either a bundle of ten pounds sterling, or a bundle of five pounds, and there is no hundred-dollar bill to be seen.
But you must know that at present, the sun does not set on the great yin of the empire, and the gold standard is still implemented; One pound can be exchanged for 7.32238 grams of pure gold.
So don't look at the money in this box, it only adds up to more than 20,000 pounds.
But when converted into the silver used by Daqing, it is worth at least 30,000 taels of silver.
In addition to these pound notes, there are other banknotes in the other boxes, as well as various gold and silver coins, ingots of gold and silver, fine jewelry, etc.
The whole number is so large that they can't take it all away.
After all, among the four people, only Wolf Qing and Yun Qing each have a 0.5 cubic capacity space burden, and the number that can be taken away is limited just by manpower.
And these should be just the tip of the iceberg in the massive wealth of the entire Sassoon family.
It can be seen from this that these duck fillet dealers have made an astonishing fortune in this land; The grandson of Elias David Sassoon died unjustly at all, and even a little too cheap.
In desperation, they could only pick up the most valuable bags.
Take away some banknotes, jewels, and gold, and some of the silver; There was still a lot of silver left, and I had to give it up regrettably.
Or maybe you have the opportunity to do it again in the future.
But even so, if they do this vote, they will have at least one million taels of silver.
Finally, at about two o'clock in the morning, the four of them secretly came out of the Sassoon family's manor with a large bag on the basement wall, after leaving the three bloody characters of 'Xuange Camp'.
The moment they walked out of the manor, something very unexpected happened.
The cold mechanical sound of the system suddenly sounded in the brains of the four of them, and it was actually at such a time that their side quest was triggered:
"Congratulations to the four members of the Xuange Battalion team, including Guifei, Wolf Qing, Xiaobaimi, and Yunqing, your side quest this time has been officially triggered.
Please note that the specific requirements are:
The successful formation of a privateer fleet was not limited in size or tonnage, but it had to be completed by 9 o'clock in the evening of April 1, 61.
and the total tonnage of the warships of the two countries shall not be less than 3,000 tons.
If the above requirements are not completed, then they are not completed, and the system will not give any penalty.
However, it is a warm reminder that the degree of completion of this side quest and the past will have a huge impact on some important tasks in the Xuange Battalion. ”
After listening to the side quests released by the above system, the four of them felt that their teeth were in pain for a while.
Mainly in a short period of time, two things reacted in their brains:
First, there are almost 7 months until April 1 next year, and this is not the time that this mission will last overall.
This is a little more than half a year, and at first glance it seems that it is not short.
But if you want to build a privateer fleet capable of destroying 3,000 tons of Yin Fa warships in the current situation where there is almost nothing, the time is not too short.
Such a little time is simply a matter of urgency.
Second, special! In the tasks released by the system in the past, when has this grandson been so good at talking?
There are no penalties left? In the past, if you can't complete the system task, it is light to randomly wipe out five people; At every turn, you have to announce the failure of the mission, and wipe out everyone, these are the familiar faces of this thing.
Therefore, it is rare for the system to be so generous, but it makes them more and more nervous.
Knowing the completion of side quests can only be better than the system requires.
Fortunately, in the time before them, they also had some preliminary plans, and the next thing is nothing more than to seize the time and promote the development of these plans, and there can be no delay at all.
With this in mind, the four of them immediately went their separate ways after they went back......
******
At the same time, it was when the four-person team in the magic capital finally triggered their side quest.
Hu Biao, who was in the Daqing Filial Piety Mausoleum, also heard a voice in his ears; Although not from the system, that's pretty good news.
The old snake with a dirty face, after running in a puff of smoke.
The opening was a sentence: "Lao, Laohu, we dug a stone wall, it should be dug to the place." ”
After hearing such a sentence, Hu Biao, who was holding a sapper shovel at the moment and was struggling with a stone stuck in the dirt, immediately came to his senses.
After throwing away the sapper shovel, he hurriedly followed the old snake to another location to see the situation.
After entering the passage that required bending down to enter, I saw two large stones stacked on top of each other, with ancient clay that should have been glutinous rice syrup added to the binder in the middle.
All of this means that it's really dug into the place.
Without much hesitation, AT waved the dragon slaying knife against the stone in a small area under Hu Biao's instructions; In a short time, a hole was dug out that was large enough to enter.
But even so, everyone was not in a hurry to get in.
Joke! All kinds of related themes and movies, do these otaku and otaku see less?
I waited for another half an hour, and waited until enough fresh air entered the dungeon, and even threw a torch into it and did not extinguish it, which means that there will be no suffocation inside.
With inexplicable anticipation and excitement, everyone entered the dungeon one after another.
In the following time, they came to a space with an area of two or three hundred square meters.
It's just that in such a large space, they didn't see any coffins at all, and there were no burial goods at all; Only on a stone platform with a pair of boots and two jars.
And on the surrounding walls, I saw a number of murals.
It seems that it is really like the legend, Shunzhi has not been buried at all; It's just a pair of boots that he wore before his death, as well as the ashes of Concubine Dong E, and Empress Tong Jia's family of Xiaokangzhang.
But this is not important, Hu Biao and they did not come in to see it for archaeology.
Rather, they wanted to see if the environment was as easy to hide as they expected.
The result of some inspection is that the environment here is quite dry, and there are no snakes, insects, rats, ants, etc., which is a perfect treasure spot.
After this point was determined, everyone was in high spirits.
After going out, in addition to blocking the hole in this passage in and out, and doing a good job of camouflage; The other holes dug before were completely filled to restore their original appearance as much as possible.
After all this was done, it was already four o'clock in the morning.
Without the slightest delay, everyone set off overnight and rushed towards the Old Summer Palace in Beijing.
Next, they need to race against time, while doing a good job of defense, while using space props to transfer the treasure in it.
As they were leaving, a heavy rain poured down after a thunderclap.
The traces of their activities were perfectly washed away......
