Chapter 462 Historical Materials
I don't know how long it took before Li Mo closed a thick book.He glanced at the milk tea next to him. Cai Cai was not there, so he didn't think too much, and continued to read the second book.

Time passed quickly, and the administrator hadn't even finished reading the books he was looking for today, so the administrator came over to urge him.Because he is a young lecturer at Peking University, I still have a deep impression on him.

"Ms. Li, if you haven't finished reading these books, you can borrow them and take them home to read. Just return them on time."

Li Mo looked at the time, got up quickly and said, "Sorry, I forgot the time. I'll take three copies with me, and I'll come over tomorrow afternoon to change them."

"Yes, just bring the books to the front and go through the borrowing procedures."

After completing the formalities, Li Mo walked out of the library with the book in his hands, while the driver was still waiting outside.

"Didn't you tell me to go first? Why are you still waiting for me here?"

"Boss, Mr. Chen has repeatedly told me that I must send you home safely before leaving."

"Then get in the car."

After the car started, Li Mo put the book in his hand on the seat next to him and asked, "Where did Brown Bear and his wife go for their honeymoon?"

"It seems to be going to Bali, that tourist resort surrounded by the sea. I haven't been there, I just heard about it from other people. Boss, if you need a car when Mr. Xiong is away, please call me." .”

"I have nothing to do recently. I drank some rice wine at noon today, or I would have driven here by myself. You can arrange it freely tomorrow, and you don't need to think about my itinerary."

Li Mo asked the driver to take him to his grandfather's courtyard, and he could smell the smell of rice wafting from a long distance away.Grandpa was lying on the rocking chair, humming a few times while listening to the southern Kunqu opera, but the tune couldn't keep up.

"Grandpa."

Shi Lao didn't open his eyes, but pointed to the stool beside him and told him to sit down.

A nanny came out with a plate of fruit, put it on the stone table and said respectfully: "Mr. Li, this is what the old lady cut for you."

"Thank you."

Li Mo started to eat on his own, Shi Lao hummed for a while, then opened his eyes and glanced at him and said, "Did you meet that person from the Li family today?"

"Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. That kid is also very courageous. Before the limelight is completely over, he showed up in public and made such a big commotion in that high-end restaurant. The scene was not usually lively at that time. Many people I’m shooting a video, it’s hard not to be famous.”

"Elder Li has completely retreated."

Shi Lao suddenly came up with such a sentence.

Li Mo raised his eyebrows, and after careful consideration, he understood what grandpa meant.It seems that if Li Jiayu can get away this time, Mr. Li will also pay a heavy price. It should be that he will completely leave that circle of power from now on, and his influence will gradually fade away.

"Is it worth it?"

Li Mo was very puzzled. Is it necessary to save that kind of scum who has done bad things?

"Old Li can't do it anymore. This is probably the only thing he can do before he leaves. Many old people don't want to see him leave with regrets, so they acquiesce in this matter. How do you know that those two people have a guy with them? ?”

"Grandpa, there are a lot of security personnel around this courtyard. They have never eaten pork, but they have always seen pigs running. When those two people stood there, I could tell. When the guy saw us, he still had a look in his eyes. It was provocative, so I wanted to disgust him, and asked the security personnel there to chat with two bodyguards. Unexpectedly, he actually got into a fight with other diners, and we have nothing to do with that fate."

Haha, Shi Lao smiled helplessly, this kid is really a thief, and he even made up a lot of reasons.

"Eat less fruit, and dinner will be fine later. I heard from Yunli that you plan to donate a new school to a remote mountainous area. This is a good thing, and I fully support you."

Li Mo then mentioned his meeting with Zeng Guofan's descendants.

Mr. Shi was silent for a while before he said: "You mean that the treasure of Hong Xiuquan really exists, but it may have been moved by Zeng Guofan back then. That is to say, the treasure map of Hong's descendants is actually A piece of waste paper is useless at all."

"That's what I guessed, so I stayed in the library this afternoon to check some literature. No, there are still a few books I haven't finished reading, so I borrowed them to read."

Shi Lao became interested and turned off the old-fashioned electrical appliances.

"Tell me, have you gained anything?"

"There is one point, but the information is not complete, so I will talk about it." Li Mo recalled the information in his mind and said: "In the late Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the intelligence sent back by the spies sent by the Qing army said that There are at least 800 million taels of silver, and there are countless gold and silver treasures in other sub-sacred treasuries. Moreover, Hong Xiuquan has a special hobby for gold and silver treasures. His hats are all made of pure gold, weighing up to Eight catties. The dragon robe he wears is made of gold thread, and the buttons are all gold bumps inlaid with precious stones. It is also said that Hong Xiuquan’s daily utensils are all made of gold, and there are 64 gold pieces for a normal meal. The bowls are used to hold the dishes, the gold chopsticks used are one foot long, the bathtubs used for bathing, toilets and even the chamber pots are all made of pure gold."

"There is a saying about the whereabouts of this wealth that has been handed down in history, that is, the treasure in the holy treasury was actually transported back to his home by Zeng Guofan's brother Zeng Guoquan. That Zeng Jiushuai did not have a good reputation. Where did he go? Wherever they rob, where they are greedy, they transport gold and silver to their homes one by one, and make the increase so rich that the country is invincible.”

"Later, someone reported that the treasure of heaven was found in Zeng Guoquan's home, and someone saw Zeng Guoquan transporting more than 200 boats of treasure to his hometown, but after investigation by Zeng Guofan's political opponents, it proved that Zeng Guoquan was wronged, and it was all nonsense. .”

"The Zeng family didn't become richer after conquering Jinling. Until the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Zeng family's house was worth more than 100 million taels of silver, compared to other families of the same level. It still looks shabby."

When Li Mo said this, he ate a few pieces of watermelon to moisten his throat.

"Do you think this statement is closest to the truth?"

Li Mo spat out a few watermelon seeds and continued: "I didn't believe it at first, but after Zeng Yi's incident, if the two are connected and speculated, then this kind of statement is worthy of our deliberation."

"There is also such a record. According to historical records, after the Hunan Army led by Zeng Guofan captured Jinling, Zeng Shuai laid off [-] soldiers. Those soldiers later returned to their hometowns, bought land, built houses, and lived a prosperous life. However, the Qing government at that time was already unable to make ends meet. The money was definitely not issued by the court, and Zeng Guofan had no account to check. So where did the money come from? There are various signs that the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom disappeared out of thin air. No one would believe him if he didn't make a fortune out of it."

Shi Lao nodded, showing a thoughtful look.

"Xiao Mo, then why didn't Emperor Tongzhi send someone to investigate?"

"According to historical data, in fact, Emperor Tongzhi also sent people to investigate secretly, but there was no follow-up. There may be two reasons. First, no strong evidence was found. Second, strong evidence was found, but Tongzhi The emperor was afraid of being forced to rebel against the Hunan army, so he dared not move."

"So, at that time, the huge amount of wealth in the holy treasury in Jinling City finally fell into the hands of the Zeng family?"

"Who knows, but I think the gold and silver treasures in the holy treasury of Jinling City are only part of Hong Xiuquan's treasures. The rabbit knows about the Three Caves, let alone people like Hong Xiuquan. Before Hong Xiuquan's treasure was born, everything was finally It's all a mystery."

"Both of you wash your hands and get ready to eat."

Li Mo stood up, holding three books in one hand, and an empty plate in the other, and walked towards the living room.

"Recently, it's been very noisy outside. Why don't you want to participate this time?"

"In the past, I was upset with certain people, and now I am even more upset with certain people. I used to think they couldn't find Hong Xiuquan's treasure, but now I think they won't find that treasure. Let's wait and see. If they are lucky enough to find it, I will There is nothing to say."

After dinner, Li Mo stayed in the courtyard without going back.He continued to flip through the materials on the edge of the desk, collecting information clues.

Zeng Yi marked his treasure guide map, but now he can't find it.But throughout history, the most suitable places to hide treasures are undoubtedly deep mountains and old forests, because there are few people there and the roads are rugged and difficult.

But if there is such shocking wealth in the holy treasury of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, only Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan has the ability and means to transport it away from Jinling City and bury it in another secret place without anyone noticing it.

"It's interesting, I really found some clues."

In the dead of night, Li Mo's surprised voice came from the bedroom.

The next day, he got up early to exercise, and practiced boxing for an hour in a nearby park.Wait until the sun rises before returning to the courtyard.

A guest arrived early in the morning. It was Qin Yali, who was talking to grandma.

"aunt."

Qin Yali looked back at Li Mo, and said anxiously, "Xiao Mo, my aunt has something urgent to do with you."

Grandma followed up and said, "Xiaomo, your Aunt Qin hasn't had breakfast yet, there are quite a lot of breakfasts at the entrance of the alley not far away, and we chatted while eating."

"Good grandma."

If you come over to find yourself in a hurry early in the morning, it must be something urgent, and it is not convenient to talk about it at home.When the two came out of the courtyard, Li Mocai asked, "Auntie, what happened?"

"It is related to the search for Hong Xiuquan's treasure. You also know that the official has also appointed a person in charge this time. This is a brand-new cooperation model. If the treasure is found successfully, the person in charge will be called directly after the year." go up."

Li Mo immediately grasped the point: "Is the person in charge of the team leader this time someone else?"

"Well, the qualifications are a little older than mine. I still had a chance to go up after the next year, but now another person in the bureau has been selected. This is the final gilding for him."

"The aunt came to see me, what do you need me to do?"

"It's a foregone conclusion now, and it's useless to do anything. I came here just to hear your thoughts. Do you think they have such a big fuss, how likely are they to succeed?"

It turned out that I had no idea, so I came here in a hurry to find an answer.

"Auntie, I can only say that there is a high probability that they will fail this time. You don't need to worry too much. The opportunity is yours and no one else can take it away. If it's not yours, it's meaningless to force it."

"I understand the truth, but I'm always a little nervous. What do you want to eat, Auntie treats you."

"It's all right, how is your family's college entrance examination score this time?"

"Hey, who knows. That kid went on a trip with his friends as soon as he finished the exam. I asked him to check the answers, and I estimated that he would not be willing to get the total score at once. He said he was resigned to fate, but he couldn't control it."

Li Mo sighed secretly in his heart, he is not a fuel-efficient master.
