104. Discovery
At this time, it was already ten days late.
Yang Bo led the people of Dali Temple to cooperate with the Jinyiwei to question the officials and some defenders of Taicang, and found that the million taels of gold had been put into the warehouse again after they were put into the warehouse. Moreover, in the past five years, Taicang never made a record of million taels of gold. In the past five years, although the gold proposed by the Chaoting Taicang has been as many as a dozen times, the total amount is still less than one million taels.
Then there are only two possibilities for this million tael of gold. One is that gold has never been stored, and the other is still in Taicang.
If it was the first type, Yang Bo could not imagine what a great force it was. It must have been transferred in Luoyang, the origin of these golds. Moreover, these golds were put into warehouses in three times, and there were no problems along the way three times in a row. The officials of the Ministry of Revenue were required to cooperate to pass the inspection, and the officials of the internal warehouse and the royal slaves were required to enter Taicang. They also had to deal with regular inspections in Taicang before they were discovered until now. Moreover, no problems could occur in any of the links, otherwise all previous efforts would be wasted. What a great force!
Yang Bo was sitting on a chair in Taicang at this time. He thought carefully and quickly excluded this idea, because if someone with such a force would not take such risks for this gold, and he could only think that there was only one person in Daqian, who could do it.
Then there is only the second possibility, these golds are still in Taicang. Because such a huge amount of gold is shipped out at one time or multiple times, there will always be clues left. But until now, he still has not found anything, which means that the gold is still in Taicang and is just hidden. So where is it?
When Yang Bo thought about it, he understood that it was underground!
Only underground can hide such a huge amount of gold, because he can't think of any place where he can hide such a huge amount of gold.
But Taicang is so big, where did the planners of this matter hide this gold?
Yang Bo couldn't think of it for a moment, so he couldn't dig Taicang. This was unrealistic and time-consuming. Within ten days, he would definitely not find these disappeared gold.
You should know that this Taicang was established since the beginning of the country. More than 100,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp put down their weapons, picked up tools, and divided them into two waves. With sufficient materials, they worked day and night for three months before they built the foundation of the Taicang today. After expansion and renovation of the past dynasties, they formed the Taicang today. It is unrealistic to want to dig such a huge scale Taicang within ten days.
So how do you find the disappearing gold?
Yang Bo was very troubled, and what if this batch of gold was hidden in different places in batches, it made him a little confused.
Time passed by minute by minute, the sun set, and the night enveloped the brightly lit Taicang tonight, bright and dark, revealing a different meaning.
Yang Bo stood in a room in Taicang. Under the dim light, he was frowning. He paced and walked around in a small room, thinking carefully about where the gold was hidden? So how can he find it?
What about leading the snake out of the hole? Let these planners jump out of their own?
He gave up as soon as he thought about it. This is unrealistic. Who knows whether they will follow their plans? There are too many variables and it is not advisable.
Yang Bo slowly limped, and when he thought about it, he found that he had overlooked a problem.
Since these golds have been put into storage, how can these golds be transported out without anyone noticing?
Then it is only possible to transfer from underground.
So, will the gold have been shipped out of Taicang?
It is impossible. The geographical location of Taicang and the area covers two huge barracks on both sides. The vault is located in the center of Taicang. It takes too long to operate underground and consume too much material resources. It is really difficult to dig such a huge underground passage without being discovered. He immediately denied his guess.
And he hasn't seen this gold treasury that has stored gold yet, which is too inappropriate!
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up!
He immediately gathered dozens of people and headed straight to the vault to see if his guess was true.
After arriving at the vault, he headed straight to Vault No. 3, because this vault was the vault that stored this batch of gold that had disappeared.
As soon as I entered this vault, I felt empty, empty and large. The vault was located underground, cold and quiet, and at this time there was already a little gold.
Yang Bo stood in the middle of the vault and looked carefully. He found that the walls on all sides of the vault were made of stone bricks and three-piece soil. There were more than a dozen large pillars of unknown material standing in the vault regardless of the rules. The ground of the vault was paved with a black floor, which looked like metal, but Yang Bo couldn't recognize what material it was. As for the top layer of the vault, there were dense grids. This was obviously a very strong vault.
Yang Bo stood in the middle of the No. 3 vault, looked around carefully, and couldn't see anything, and then shouted: "You can take a closer look at me, what is the difference in this vault. You all know how huge the one million taels of gold disappeared. How difficult is it to make so much gold disappear from the vault for no reason? I suspect that there must be an underground passage in this vault. If you take a look, you will find something different. Let me tell you, I will definitely record your merits. Once I find gold, you are the heroes. I will not be stingy to recommend you in front of Your Majesty. When you are promoted or received, let's start!"
When the others heard this, they were immediately excited and immediately shouted loudly: "No!" "No!" "No!" They started to work with great enthusiasm.
Yang Bo also pulled out his sword, set an example, and knocked on the ground, wanting to hear what the difference is about this sound.
For a moment, in this vault, a sound of knocking and beating sounded.
But after an hour, Yang Bo and others still did not find anything, so Yang Bo asked hundreds of Jinyiwei to enter the vault and began to re-examine. Another hour passed, but there was still no discovery.
He was a little disappointed for a moment. Did he guess wrong? It’s impossible. If he didn’t transport the gold out of the vault like this, how could he transport the gold out of the vault?
Yang Bo lowered his head and thought, but he still couldn't think of it. He raised his head and looked up, and felt that the grids were a little strange and unusual. He then ordered loudly: "You look up and take a closer look at the grids on your head to find out what's the difference?"
At this time, Yang Bo suddenly remembered that the secret room of the aristocratic family was of the type of mechanism. Could it be that this vault also had a similar mechanism? Because most aristocratic families had a bulge, and aren't these grids on the head the best place to hide the bulge?
So, everyone followed Yang Bo's instructions and raised their heads again and observed them carefully.
But there are indeed too many grids. It is unrealistic to read it in a short time. Yang Bo stood in the center of the vault and found that the vault was about 100 feet or 50 feet, just two eight-foot-foot men. One person could reach the other, but he had to lean against the wall.
So Yang Bo ordered again: "Everyone starts to observe from four corners along the wall."
When everyone heard this, they immediately began to observe carefully as they said.
After a while, a Jinyiwei in a flying fish suit shouted loudly with excitement on his face: "Sir Yang, here, here, come and see here, I found a different place here." He said loudly, and waved his hand to signal to Yang Bo.
When Yang Bo saw this, he immediately showed joy on his face. He hurriedly ran towards the Jinyiwei, and soon arrived at the corner.
Yang Bo smiled and patted the Jinyiwei's shoulder, then raised his head and carefully observed it, and found that the difference found by the Jinyiwei was a little bit bulging, which was slightly cleaner than the surroundings. It was hard for people with sharp eyes to find it.
When Yang Bo saw it, he was immediately ecstatic, and he almost felt sure that this was the mechanism.
He said loudly with joy, "Come on two people, stand together, hold the wall, and press down on the clean bulge." Yang Bo said while pointing at the bulge with his fingers.
I found this raised person earlier, so I volunteered to press the raised person. I saw him being held up and pressed hard on the raised person with my right hand. The wall they were holding moved to the side. The two of them immediately fell and ate the dog, which made people laugh. The people around me suddenly burst into laughter, and even Yang Bo smiled knowingly.
The truth is about to be revealed, and his hanging heart is a little relaxed.
I saw that a gap slowly opened on the wall. After a long time, it stopped. Yang Bo looked carefully and found that the moving wall was about half a foot thick. Such a thickness could not be distinguished by knocking and hitting alone. The designer of this mechanism is indeed a master!
Moreover, he realized that this mechanism was definitely not built in recent years. It was obviously established when Taicang was established at the beginning of the founding of the country. So what was going on?
Yang Bo didn't have time to think about it carefully at this time. Only when he found gold could he feel at ease, and His Majesty could he feel at ease.
So he ordered: "Everyone brings weapons, holds torches, and the Jinyiwei takes the lead. Follow this passage, let's see if this gold is inside!"
Suddenly, hundreds of people pulled out their own weapons, held a torch in their hands, and a hundred households in the Jinyiwei took the lead, and others followed and entered the dark passage.
Yang Bo also drew out his sword at any time and stepped into this dark passage surrounded by everyone.
