The gossip of the theft of Tanglin still reached the ears of some people, and those surnamed Aixin Jueluo were particularly concerned.

Zaifeng, who lives in the Tianjin Concession and often lives in the Shanghai Concession for a period of time in recent years, is in Shanghai at this time, and when he hears that Tanglin has been stolen, he is shocked, and the patriarch of the Aixin Jueluo family is suddenly blind.

Hurriedly sent a telegram to Tianjin, instructing people to go to the field to inspect the imperial mausoleum, but his people failed to enter the mausoleum, but from the Manchu people guarding the tomb, they learned that some time ago, there was indeed an army in, and it made a fuss for a while, and then left, and now another army came, and it seemed that it was also fighting the idea of Tangling.

Sun Dianying's department left, and the Ma Futian department of the Fengjun followed in, and after stationing, martial law was imposed.

Who is Ma Futian, his condition was quickly inquired, and when the news reached Shanghai, Zaifeng secretly felt bad and was so anxious that he became angry.

It's a pity that the former regent no longer has the prestige he had when he reigned, and after abdicating, he didn't get involved in business, and he was bent on being a rich man.

A few years ago, at the instigation of others, he invested a huge amount of money in Nanhua as soon as his mind was hot, but fortunately, the money was not wasted, and he made a lot of money.

Although he has no power, he can still do a lot of things with money, and after several investigations, he actually found an unexpected clue.

The servant who had just helped Zaifeng inspect the industry in Nanhua returned to Shanghai and reported to Zaifeng about the land auction in Nanhua.

This is not the first time that Zaifeng has invested in land in Nanhua, and in this land auction planned by Jiang Weiji, Zaifeng bought several thousand acres in East Java, near Surabaya.

Zaifeng was very happy to listen to the servant's report, but from the servant's mouth, Zaifeng learned that Sun Dianying's department was transferred to Nanhua today. turned into a serious "little prince" of South China.

Even more coincidentally. Zaifeng's land is right next to Sun Dianying's land.

The servant is also witty. Soon he got acquainted with some of the officers and soldiers under Sun Dianying, and generally touched the situation of Sun Dianying's thousands of miles of transfer, and he didn't dare to slack off, and rushed back to Shanghai to report to Zaifeng.

In this way, Sun Dianying has already gone to Nanhua and opened up relations in Nanhua. If the Tanglin incident is related to Sun Dianying, some people in Nanhua will not be able to get rid of it, no. There are also those people in Wuhan, they are also suspicious! ”

Zaifeng muttered to himself, his beautiful face became a little hideous, his brows were raised, and he was shocked and angry in his heart!

His clenched fists trembled slightly, and he tried his best to control the anger in his heart.

The relationship between the two governments of Nanhua and Wuhan is so good that they almost wear the same pants, if it were not for their participation and acquiescence, how could Sun Dianying's army of more than 10,000 people quietly run to Nanyang?

What an agreement they have definitely reached!

Doesn't Sun Dianying's "escape" show the weakness of some people's hearts?

The more Zaifeng thought about it, the more he felt that he had a lot of insiders, and he almost encountered a big conspiracy, because he was facing the most powerful force in the country. He has no power and no power to oppose the government, and he is not good at beating the drum in his heart. Even if you're sitting at home. The invisible pressure also came to his face all at once, making him breathless!

"No, this can't just be left at that! I must have an explanation! ”

Zaifeng still couldn't swallow this breath, and made a decision in his heart.

"Lord Wang-" The servant said worriedly, the latter words did not come out, the meaning is very clear, you old man should not be impulsive!

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

Zaifeng nodded and said solemnly.

After thinking about it, among the people I know, the more reliable one may be the American-Chinese Bank.

Because of the more cooperation with the American-Chinese Bank, Zaifeng's assets are stored in HSBC, and most of the rest are invested in the American-Chinese Bank, and the projects recommended by the American-Chinese Bank are also somewhat friendly with the American-Chinese Bank.

Moreover, this friendship was formed with Lin Yimin, the former president of the Bank of America and China and the current secretary of the treasury, and Zaifeng felt that he might be able to get a little news from Lin Yimin.

Soon, he flew from Shanghai to Wuhan by plane and found Lin Yimin.

When Zaifeng arrived, Lin Yimin was a little surprised, but he still warmly entertained him.

Not to mention that Zaifeng and a part of the Aixin Jueluo family led by Zaifeng cooperated with the Meihua Bank to invest in Nanhua, which helped Lin Yimin a lot, just from the perspective of personal friendship, Lin Yimin felt that Zaifeng was okay, and he could be regarded as a friend!

Faced with Zaifeng's vague temptation, Lin Yimin began to pretend not to know, and when Zaifeng showed his attitude, he asked directly: "Did Sun Dianying steal Dongling?" ”

Lin Yimin was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.

"This—"

Zaifeng's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he sat down paralyzed, his heart full of sadness.

Soon, he became angry again, "Isn't there no kilometer justice in this world?" Are the ancestral graves of the people being dug upright and at ease? ”

Staring at Lin Yimin - since you are the one in the know, why don't you explain? Why not block it? Why didn't you tell me? Still help them hide it?

"If you were me, what would you do? I am not the leader, nor the mastermind, I can only say that this is an inevitable thing, and what we can do is to try to do things well on the basis of what is inevitable! ”

Lin Yimin's gaze is very calm, in the face of Zaifeng's silent doubts and accusations, his calm gaze has not changed at all, and there is no trace of guilt, as if to say that your accusation is nothing, I have a clear conscience, from the comparison of power and power, you are far worse than me, I can destroy you with a move of my fingers.

Of course, it is not right to dig people's ancestral graves, but your ancestors who love Xinjueluo have not done such a lack of virtue! Isn't the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum "wasted" by you?

The two were deadlocked, neither of them spoke, they both stared at each other, Zaifeng had the dignity of the royal family, Lin Yimin also had his own momentum, and no one could help anyone.

In the end, Lin Yimin took a step back, and seeing that Zaifeng had calmed down, he smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Sun Dianying is not our person, at least not before that, he is a person from the Zhang bandit army, and he seems to have a little friendship with Feng Yuxiang, Feng Yuxiang drove the boss of your family out of the palace."

To put it bluntly, Sun Dianying is no one, just a wallgrass, a mother with milk, there are too many such warlords. I won't list them all.

Except for Sun Dianying. Before Sun Dianying. Ma Fucai and several other warlords were fighting the idea of Tanglin, which could not be avoided at all, and no one could stop these warlords' thirst for treasure.

To tell you the truth, every year, the tax police regiment catches hundreds or thousands of cigarette smuggling gangs on the northern border, and many of these people are sent to the south by the northern warlords to sell cigarettes in exchange for military expenses.

For the sake of money, they can do anything.

Therefore, Sun Dianying is not the first, and may not be the last.

Our side is also due to fate. After learning of Sun Dianying's actions, he cooperated with him, and the treasures he dug up were sold to us. In order to protect the cultural relics from being destroyed, we sent people to supervise the whole process. ”

Speaking of fighting here, Lin Yimin stopped, with a hint of smugness on his face, as if he was satisfied with the results this time.

"What else?"

Zaifeng knew in his heart that Lin Yimin's words had also reached his heart, even if it wasn't Sun Dianying, there were other people to do this. The history of declining royal families being dug up ancestral graves abounds, and there is no official protection. Those imperial tombs naturally became fragrant and sweet.

The Qing Dynasty gave the country merit, and the royal family and clansmen were safe and sound, which was a relatively good result.

As for what kind of fate will be, this is a light and nice thing to say, but Zaifeng doesn't believe it in his heart, it's nothing more than two robbers partnering to divide up, even if the Wuhan gang is cleaner, at most, they didn't do it themselves, but hired others to do what they wanted to do but couldn't.

Zaifeng's accusatory words came to his lips, but he didn't refute Lin Yimin, but his expression was cold, and he was sure that he was unwilling, but what could he do?

Finally, he sighed in his heart and asked, "Okay, I want to hear you say, how do you do things well?" ”

"It may be that we have a lot of power now and have taken Henan, so our influence in the north is still quite large. Sun Dianying was quite obedient, and under the constraints of our people, he took the treasure and did not destroy the imperial tomb.

We can't make a noise about this matter, for the sake of Sun Dianying's obedientness, we will give him a way out and go to Nanhua. It is estimated that you also learned about Sun Dianying from Nanhua! ”

Lin Yimin said with a smile.

Zaifeng nodded. He was more concerned about the situation of the imperial mausoleum, although Lin Yimin said that the imperial mausoleum had not been destroyed, he was somewhat unconvinced in his heart, and he had to go to see it to rest assured.

"You Manchurian ancestors, no, and you, you are also responsible for the aftermath of Lafayette, tsk, the Qing Kingdom is really willing to spend money on the dead! If you are generous, let the life of the world be a little better, and you will not lose the country. Typical miser! ”

Lin Yimin pointed at Zaifeng with a smile and teased.

Zaifeng was expressionless and did not respond, naturally knowing how many good things were buried in Cixi's tomb back then, looking at Lin Yimin's proud appearance, he knew in his heart that those treasures had fallen into the hands of this group of people!

"And what about the things underground?" Zaifeng still couldn't help but ask. With such a large amount of treasure, he had to care.

"Okay! Friends, let you see it clearly! ”

Lin Yimin smiled and nodded.

Soon brought Zaifeng into the underground vault of the American-Chinese Bank, Zaifeng went in to take a look, and sure enough, he saw a golden glitter, the house was full of jewels, and a large number of treasures such as the legendary cabbage and jade watermelon reappeared in front of him.

"That's right, these are the things that Lafayette cherished in front of him, and he told him to take them with him before leaving." Zaifeng touched the cold and mellow jade watermelon, and his heart was infinitely emotional.

He had seen these things in the palace before.

Now it's so far, it's really a trick!

"After all, Cixi is still a woman, she likes shiny things, and she can't forget these mundane things when she dies, but your Qianlong Ye has a much higher taste."

Lin Yimin said from afar.

Under the influence of Situ Nan, he felt that people came naked, and they had to be relaxed when they left, and they were not at peace if they brought such a burden.

"You also opened the tomb of Lord Qianlong?" Zaifeng became angry again when he heard this, and questioned Lin Yimin.

"I didn't do it, it's useless for you to yell at me." Lin Yimin smiled faintly, "It is said that it was an accident, the two tombs are not far away, fortunately our people are staring, otherwise the antique calligraphy and paintings inside are estimated to have been destroyed by those soldiers." ”

Under the leadership of Lin Yimin, Zaifeng saw the lone calligraphy and paintings from Qianlong's tomb in another room, and these cultural relics were packaged and loaded into a transparent vacuum glass frame.

Zaifeng had never seen anything from Qianlong's tomb, and he stared at the original work of "Lanting Collection Preface" in the vacuum glass frame in front of him, and sighed very much. I understand why Lin Yimin said that Qianlong Ye is much higher in grade than Lafayette.

"I'll tell you the truth. In order to protect these precious calligraphy and paintings. We spent a lot of effort to rebuild the vault, constant temperature and humidity is indispensable, so we installed a temperature control system, including the latest invention of Meihua Electric air conditioner, this technology is very advanced, the machine is not popular in the international market.

Look, Wuhan's climate is hot and humid. But here it is really dry and refreshing, and the effect is very noticeable.

So, the cost of calligraphy and painting may be much more expensive than the pearl gemstone you just saw, but it's worth it. We can't let the things of our ancestors be destroyed or scattered overseas, nor can they be broken in our own hands! ”

Lin Yimin said solemnly.

Zaifeng nodded, it was the first time he had seen such strict protection measures, and he even had the feeling of watching alien technology, of course. I was also blown away by the collection here!

"You've really put a lot of effort into it." The tone was light, and the words were like praise. It's like sarcasm again.

"So what are you going to do with these treasures? As descendants of the royal family, we are the owners of these treasures, right? Zaifeng asked.

Looking at Lin Yimin, I had some expectations in my heart.

"The Lanting Collection Order is also yours, you are full? Give me a reason! ”

Lin Yimin smiled faintly and looked at Zaifeng with some sarcasm, "Look at these antique calligraphy and paintings, which famous artist is not the work of our Han people?" ”

Zaifeng was blamed, his face was a little red, he asked casually just now, and he didn't expect these things to return to his hands.

It's hard to come back, he understands, but he was asked by Lin Yimin in an almost humiliating tone, and he was very unhappy in his heart.

Lin Yimin's implication is that the Han culture is developed, and the cultural relics and treasures of the Han people have been robbed by you, and now we take it back.

After touching a cold nail, Zaifeng understood Lin Yimin's attitude, and no longer bored himself, nothing in this world belongs to you forever, what you have today may not be yours tomorrow, because this thing was not necessarily yours yesterday, it may be robbed by you.

I heard Lin Yimin continue to taunt: "If you want to talk about thieves, I think some people are thieves!" Come, today I'm going to let you see someone's true face! ”

Then Lin Yimin took Zaifeng to another room, which was a space filled with all kinds of books, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, and jade, and the things on it Zaifeng felt that he had seen it somewhere.

"Hey, this Qingming Shanghe map is still in the palace, why is it here?" He asked, surprised.

"I really don't understand, do you really don't know or are you pretending to be stupid?" Lin Yimin glanced at Zaifeng and said coldly, "These are all flowing out of the Forbidden City in recent years, some of which we bought from foreign cultural relics dealers in Tianjin, some of which we collected through Zhimeizhai, and some of which we had to snatch back." ”

"Oh! I understand, it turns out that Zhimei Zhai was opened by you, no wonder these things came here. ”

Zaifeng suddenly realized, but there were waves in his heart, no wonder these things look familiar, it turns out that many of them flow out of Pu Yi, it stands to reason that these things should belong to the state, not Pu Yi's, but now ......

Doesn't it mean that these people have been eyeing Pu Yi from the beginning? All of Pu Yi's actions are monitored by them, and there are almost no secrets to speak of, which is terrifying!

Thinking of this, Zaifeng's face turned pale, his body trembled slightly, Pu Yi is the boss of the family, his identity is special, he can't control him if he is not good, except for the young son and young daughter, several children in the family are close to Pu Yi, they are young and vigorous, and they want to restore the Qing Dynasty......

I naturally understand the children's intentions, and it's not easy to object, but they don't want to figure it out for themselves, this country full of people, if you go, you can't come back.

The price of blindly insisting on it is very high.

Zaifeng's performance Lin Yimin looked at it one by one, and smiled secretly in his heart: Are you scared now?

That's right, Lin Yimin just wants to warn Zaifeng and the old and young of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, we already know your thoughts, and we know your every move.

Lin Yimin also understands Zaifeng's thoughts, Zaifeng is a person who has come over, and he has experienced a lot of things, he is an understanding person, and he will not think anything wrong, Lin Yimin doesn't want to tear his face with him.

"We spent a lot of money to buy these things, no less than millions. It's not that we are stupid and have a lot of money, we don't want to hurt the harmony until the last moment. ”

Lin Yimin smiled.

Zaifeng nodded, his face was a little more bloody, but his mood was not relaxed at all, there was the Zhi Gong Party in the south, and Zhang Zuolin in the north, if Pu Yi and them jumped out, the end would be miserable!

also understands Lin Yimin's thoughts, he is warning himself.

After several years of cooperation with the Meihua Bank, Zaifeng knows the strength of the Wuhan Zhi Gong Party, and also understands their thoughts, don't look at the military leaders in the north dancing happily, they are difficult to become a climate, even Zhang Zuolin in the northeast. Zaifeng is also not optimistic about him.

"We are pacifists, and we don't have excessive thoughts about the Manchurians. You can see that we have done so many things, spent so much painstaking efforts, and sorted out and protected each treasure one by one, you know that we have a sense of reverence for history.

These things belonged to the state in the past, belong to the state now, and will not change in the future. For many reasons, we can't make it public, but I'm sure that in the future, people will be able to see the relics of their ancestors in the National Museum! ”

Lin Yimin promised.

"National Museum?!"

This is the end of these cultural treasures?

Not good, not bad.

Zaifeng nodded and shook his head, not knowing what to say.

In short, he knew that Tanglin had been stolen and the treasure could not be recovered.

What's more, his family is still on someone else's watch list.

"By the way, there are some photos of Tanglin here." Lin Yimin seemed to remember something, and returned to the first insurance room to show Zaifeng the photos taken by the agents of the Intelligence Bureau when he robbed Sun Dianying's tomb.

Judging from the photos, the mausoleum has not been seriously damaged, Cixi's coffin is still intact, Zaifeng breathed a sigh of relief, and still not completely relieved.

"That's pretty much the way inside, the entrance to the cave has been resealed, if you don't worry, there seems to be a secret passage left on the intelligence bureau's side, you can send someone to take a look."

Lin Yimin said.

In addition to the vault, Zaifeng felt a lot of emotion.

With the help of Lin Yimin, he really sent someone back to secretly go back to check the imperial tomb, the situation was similar to what Lin Yimin said, the treasures inside were empty, and the remains of the ancestors were rarely preserved.

This is the best result, Zaifeng gradually lost most of the resentment in his heart, of course, he naturally would not let go of Sun Dianying's group.

What made him uneasy was that there was a Sun Dianying and a Ma Fucai, I heard that Ma Fucai was also about to move, and he was very unwilling to do something big.

Zaifeng had to find Lin Yimin again.

This made Lin Yimin a little embarrassed, and Lin Yimin had to consult with the master of absinthe.

How the Intelligence Bureau dealt with Ma Fucai, Lin Yimin didn't know, the matter was over, until the Wuhan government liberated Hebei, and Tanglin was never stolen again.

The Tanglin theft turmoil is over, but after Zaifeng returned to Tianjin, he lost his temper and reprimanded the children at home, but I don't know what the effect is.

There are also things he experienced in Wuhan, and those conversations with Lin Yimin, he is also tight-lipped, and he doesn't want trouble to come out of his mouth, after all, this involves too much.

Even if it is exposed, people will make the museum plan public, and the treasures will be returned to the state, see who the people in the world are scolding? (To be continued.) )
