Chapter Ninety-Three: Wang Zhi's Treasure
"Yes!" Li Laosan saw that Chang Wei was interested, so he opened the conversation. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Legend has it that King Hui was recruited to believe in the imperial court, so he buried hundreds of millions of silver coins accumulated in the past 20 years in Liuheng, Fodu, Putuo, Taohua, Daishan, Shenjiamen, Zhujiajian and other seven islands, because these seven islands are like a portal, so it is also called Qimen Island. ”
Chang Wei's mind was racing, "Qimen Island, it turns out that the name of Qimen Lost Island came from here, and they have been guarding Qimen Island for decades, is it to dig up the treasure left by Wang Zhi?"
"And this Shuangyu Gate is the gateway to Qimen Island. Legend has it that if you want to dig up the treasure of King Hui, you must first find out the secret of Shuangyu Gate. ”
"Secret?" Chang Wei said in surprise: "This Shuangyu Gate is only one or two miles in size, and it can be turned upside down in one or two hours, what secrets can be hidden?"
"Legend has it that there is a key hidden on the island, and it is impossible to open the treasure house on Qimen Island without the key. ”
Li Laosan's dark old face was full of excitement, "The big officials don't know that every year on August 15, the tide will fall in Shuangyumen, and many outsiders go to the island to look for the key that day. ”
"Great official, don't you say it's magical? Shuangyumen only has a year when the night of the full moon on August 15 will the tide reveal a large area underneath. ”
Once a year, the tide goes down, and there is such a thing?
Chang Wei's curiosity was completely aroused, "Where are they all outsiders, ordinary fishermen or huge rich people?"
"There are blond and blue-eyed Buddha Lang Ji people, black short and thin Japanese people, there are heroes with swords and swords, there are monks and Taoists, and fairy-like female babies, and even officials and military masters of the imperial court. Hundreds of people have to come every time, and they have come every year on August 15 for the past fifty or sixty years, without interruption. ”
"Fifty or sixty years?
"The old man is sixty-eight years old. ”
"Wang Zhi was from 60 years ago? Have you seen him?"
"When I was six years old, Hui Wangye lived in my house for two days, Hui Wangye was really generous, and gave us a hundred taels of silver with white flowers, he was really a good man, but unfortunately good people don't live long. ”
"Lao Li, you've lived on Fodu Island all your life, and you haven't thought about treasure hunting?"
Besides, isn't the big official the treasure in front of me, and the old man won't be stupid enough to guard the treasure to find the treasure. ”
"Haha, Lao Li, you are a wise man!" Chang Wei and the others brought seven or eight hundred people and hundreds of boats to build the wharf, which was obviously a posture to do a big job, which was a treasure to be seen by fishermen, and a great business opportunity.
Chang Wei smiled: "Sixty years ago, the government destroyed Wang Zhi, aren't you afraid that the government will destroy us now?"
"Don't be afraid, as long as the big officials don't go ashore to kill people, the government doesn't care, and the court can't help it. Li Laosan said.
Chang Wei not only admired this old fisherman who didn't know the big words.
Chang Wei consulted the file and knew the smuggling transaction method of Shuangyu Island back then: after the Franc machine and the Japanese people transported the goods to Daming, they looked for a powerful local snake to be responsible for sales.
The landlords use the form of short selling, that is, they first negotiate the price with the other party to get the goods, and then settle the bill after the sale is completed. This type of trading is prone to disputes, and there are often bloody incidents of force.
The direct trigger for Zhu's destruction of Shuangyu Port was the trade dispute between the Xie family and the Francophile people.
The Xie clan is a member of the Yuyao family, and has been a high-ranking official such as Xie Qian, the elder of the cabinet, and is the first force in the smuggling trade of Ningbo Prefecture.
After Xie took the goods, he continued to lower the price and defaulted on the payment, and the Franco machine came to the door to urge him. Instead, he was intimidated and injured by the Xie family, so the angry Francophone gathered people to destroy the Xie family.
More than 200 members of the Xie family of the Wang clan were killed, which was a big deal, and the local government claimed that the Japanese went ashore to kill people. Zhejiang immediately ordered a manhunt and went door to door to pursue the people who had fornicated with Shuangyu, so the Wokou Rebellion broke out.
"This Li Laosan reminded me that I have to hurry ashore to find a force to be a backer. ”
Chang Wei's backer is very hard, but that is only limited to Nanzhili, this is Zhejiang, and it is the territory of Min Chengbi, the big boss of the Jin Ge Association.
When he climbed the Shuangyu Gate, Chang Wei only saw the bare islands and reefs, sea rocks, and no signs of treasure at all. However, his mind was not on the treasure, and he put the boat directly to the Liuheng Island opposite, and immediately saw a natural deep-water harbor sandwiched by two mountains.
Li Laosan said that this place was originally a valley, but later the sea level rose and the valley was covered by seawater, and it became what it is now.
The fish gate on the east side of the port and the dragon gate on the west side of the port are narrower, forming the port surrounded by mountains on all sides, so the sea breeze is blocked by the mountains. There are a number of natural harbors in the harbor.
Li Laosan said with great interest: "Daguan, there is no ice here in winter, sea ships can enter and exit freely, as long as it is built a little bit, it is a typhoon shelter, and there is no fear of typhoons." ”
"It's indeed a treasure of feng shui, no wonder it was able to make such a big move sixty years ago!"
Chang Wei mountaineering with a thousand miles of tube to watch, see six horizontal islands from south to north in turn there are six mountains in the meantime, the dragon head beach in front of the south port, the beach is flat like a realm, the blue waves ripple in front of the beach, the mountains behind the beach stretch out the forest and the forest is forested, the ancient trees that hug the thick abound, cover the sky and cover the sun at a glance.
Further to the west, Shuangyumen and Xigang are on the same line.
"The terrain here is dangerous, the port is excellent, what is the reason why the Francois people will turn a blind eye and go north to build a port?"
"For fifty or sixty years, the Franc machine man has come to hunt for treasure every year, why did he build a port this year?"
"The main business of the Jin Ge Society is to sell smuggled salt, and it is not proficient in maritime trade, and it is not very wealthy, and it is a whim to suddenly unite with the Francophile?"
"The feud between the Demon Sect and the Jin Ge Society for decades has not been seen before, so why did Jin Ge immediately make a big move as soon as he arrived on Liuheng Island? Why did Li Yunzhao want a Franc machine galleon? Why did he give me such a good harbor?"
"Chu Tiankuo personally went to the island, and even did not hesitate to move out of Wei Liangqing to drive me away, for what?"
Chang Wei locked his gaze on the Shuangyu Gate, "Is all this related to Wang Zhi's treasure?"
Chang Wei fell into deep thought, "Isn't the lucrative sea smuggling trade comparable to the treasure? Is there really so much silver left by Wang Zhi? Or is there something more attractive......
All kinds of conjectures made Chang Wei have a strong interest in Wang Zhi's treasure, if you want to get involved in the treasure is not something that one or two people can do, simply discuss with everyone, and finally the beggar gang, Tang Gate, Beigumen, Shenshou Gate, Sitong Commercial Bank, Shen family and Chang Wei reached a preliminary agreement, officially launched the plan to recover the treasure.
Of course, this is only a preliminary plan, and everyone agrees that the port and maritime trade are the main thing, and what Chang Wei needs to do now is to go ashore to Ningbo Mansion to open up the relationship between the government and avoid being harassed.
At the end of the meeting, Wan Shitong suddenly said: "Stinky boy, are you interested in having a gang to play?"
