Qingben beauty

Chapter 1061 He tried his best

Hear the monkey say so...

Well, I really couldn't help laughing.

Then I quickly covered my mouth and looked into the hole again.

"Don't worry, I just checked. There is no poisonous gas inside, and there should be no mechanism. The bottom is a basement." Monkey said, and handed the emergency light to Lu Lingguang again.

Lu Lingguang glared at the monkey bitterly, let go of me, took the lamp, and said to me: "Qing, don't come down first, wait for me to go down, and then come down after making sure there is no danger."

I said hello.

Lu Lingguang held up the lamp and walked down the steps slowly.

The monkey took out a bigger emergency light from behind, turned it on, and shone it on the entrance of the cave.

At this time, Lu Lingguang had already walked down half of the steps. The light in his hand and the light from the monkey together illuminated the entire steps and the entrance below.

It can be clearly seen that after the steps below go down two meters, it becomes a spiral staircase with cast iron handrails. Looking at the height, it is a full eight or nine meters, and although the walls on both sides have been penetrated There are some mottled colors, but it can still be seen that there is a very old moisture-proof gray layer painted on it.

"Come down, there is no danger below." Lu Lingguang should have reached the bottom, and raised his head and shouted.

I responded and gave the monkey a hand. The monkey held up the lamp and asked me to get off first, and he was behind.

I stepped forward first.

Lu Lingguang was standing just below, illuminated by the front and rear lights, and the steps could be clearly seen.

As I walked down, I looked at the steps without any water stains, and I praised them in my heart.

After following Lu Li, I also learned some knowledge about the preservation of antiquities. No matter what kind of antiquities, the most feared thing is moisture. Moisture will not only make paper products rot, but also make metals such as copper, silver, and gold rot. Rust oxidizes.

Therefore, for a good place to hide treasure, the first thing is to ensure humidity.

Here, very well done.

When I went down, after Lu Lingguang turned sideways to reveal the space illuminated by the emergency light in his hand, I was even more amazed.

It was a huge basement with arches and domes, probably more than 100 square meters.

In the middle of the basement, there was a layer of moisture-proof and insect-proof mats, and a dozen boxes were placed on the mats.

Well, the first thing I saw was not those boxes, but a bronze statue nearly two meters high in the middle of the boxes!

It should be a statue from the Renaissance period. It is carved with the god of wine in Greek mythology. His demeanor and manner are really lifelike. Even the corolla on his head and the grapes in his hands seem to be alive. Same as coming over.

Beside this huge statue, there are scattered bronze and marble statues more than one meter high.

I didn't realize it, I took a deep breath.

The monkey walked around the basement holding the lamp, walked up to the cushion, then turned to us and said, "Aren't you going to come up and take a look?"

Uh, I just realized that when I was in a daze, Lu Lingguang had been standing beside me.

I hurriedly pulled Lu Lingguang a little, and walked to the mat.

By the time we got to the mat, the monkey had already opened a box and let out an exclamation.

I hastily quickened my steps and walked to the side of the box one step ahead of Lu Lingguang, and then I also let out an exclamation.

In that box is a box of gold!
To be precise, it is a box of gold bricks as long as my palm.

When I exclaimed, Lu Lingguang also walked to the side of the box, looking at the gold bricks inside the box that were still golden even after so many years, he frowned slightly, and then reached out and took a piece out of it.

First, it was turned upside down, Lu Lingguang turned the gold brick over, looked at the inscription on the back, and said in a deep voice, "It's a thousand pure gold."

The monkey whistled and said, "Real gold, how much is there?"

With that said, he opened the second box.

There are also gold bricks inside, but it is not a full box, and it is about two-thirds of the volume.

And on top of those gold bricks, an envelope was placed.

I reached out and took out the envelope, and handed it to Lu Lingguang.

Lu Lingguang shook his head lightly and said, "Read it."

I looked at the envelope and saw that the seal was not sealed, so I opened the envelope directly and took out a few pieces of letter paper from inside.

The handwriting on the letter paper is the same as those letters written by Mrs. Lu I saw earlier, but it is stronger. From this, it can be seen that this letter should be written in front of those letters.

After this thought flashed through my mind, I spread out the letter and read it.

My son Lu Hengxin:
I am very happy that you can read this letter, which shows that you not only have the ability, but also the knowledge passed down from your mother's family. I am very happy.

I bought this old house when I first arrived in Europe. At that time, Europe was still in depression. After the war, there was chaos, people lacked food and clothing, and the original owner of this old house died during the war. He was the only one left. A man, who was seriously ill at the time,

Therefore, I bought it at a very low price. Originally, I was going to tidy up this place for my family to live in, but when I was tidying it up, I discovered this basement.

I think that the original owner of this ancient house didn't even know that there was a basement under the house.

Because, when I found this basement, there were still a lot of things preserved in it. I took a few of them out and showed them to others. They said that these were fine works of the Renaissance and were very valuable.

However, at that time, these things were far less valuable than the goods I brought, so I stayed in this basement.

Later, I bought another big house and manor for my family to live in, and I kept it here privately. I didn't expect it to be in use now.

I have remodeled this place and added a small mechanism. I believe you, you will understand the tricks of this small mechanism, but it is impossible for Lu Hengzhi to understand.

Xin'er, when I was in Shencheng, I accidentally rescued a dock boss. Before the country of Sakura officially surrendered, the dock boss told me a secret. He said that he saw someone secretly loading a cargo. It wasn't big, and it didn't hold much cargo. The box lifted up was not big, but it was very heavy. He suspected that someone was transporting gold out.

At that time, I happened to bring a ship of cargo to go to sea. When I heard him say this, I kept my mind on it, because at that time, it happened to be a time when there was a typhoon and huge waves.

My luck was good. When we went out, we encountered a typhoon and huge waves. Our boat was barely able to withstand it. Then we met the boat that the boss said. At that time, the boat was half sunk.

That was the boat of those gangsters who killed Chinese people and robbed Chinese people. Xiner, I threw all the people on board into the sea, and then I moved the things they carried back to my own boat.

Those people transported ten tons of gold and twenty thousand silver dollars.

I bought the [-] silver dollars directly and shipped them to Europe, laying the foundation for the initial foundation. Later, I sold all the property in Shencheng, and brought it back with gold and US dollar bills. tons of gold to buy the current family property.

Xin'er, I don't know if Lu Hengzhi will keep his promise, and I don't know how long the secret that you are my son can be kept. All I can do is do my best to make arrangements.

I used five tons of those ten tons of gold. This time, because of Lu Hengzhi's threat, I can only give him the Lu Family Group. As compensation, I will give Amei one ton of gold, and the remaining four tons of gold are here up.

Besides the gold, there are three other boxes here, which were brought by your grandfather.

Your mother's family is a scholarly family, a family of officials and officials, your grandparents are all scholars, your grandfather escaped with me back then, in addition to the jewels handed down from the ancestors, and these three boxes of gold, stone, ancient books, calligraphy and paintings,
I heard that some things were handed down from the Song and Ming Dynasties hundreds of years ago. There were still some porcelain, but unfortunately the road was stormy and broke a lot, but some small pieces were still well preserved, and I put them all in a box. Here, these are originally yours.

There are other boxes, some of which are already here, and two boxes are left by your brother, your elder brother.

Your elder brother was born of your mother's cousin. He inherited your mother's lineage. What he likes most is studying those ancient sites. He also traveled to many places and came back with these things. I brought them together for him. .

He originally agreed with me that he would bring his beloved woman to Europe to meet me, but I never waited for him. Later, Lu Hengzhi told me that he had died in Wandao.

When I read this, my voice suddenly paused.

Not only because I remembered what the professor at the Bay Island Museum said, but also because there was a piece of ink wet with tears on the letter paper.

Come to think of it, when Old Master Lu wrote this, he was really sad.

With his intelligence, he should be able to imagine why his son died on Wandao. Perhaps, it was precisely because of this that he was even more afraid of Lu Hengzhi's attack on Lu Hengxin.

I took a light breath before continuing to read.

Xin'er, this house, and all the things here, are unknown to others, unknown to anyone, if you hold it, there will be no problem, if you have already gone to Wudu, you should have found it Another gift from me.

Xin'er, I know, in fact, no matter how much property I left for you, it can't compare to me and your mother being able to grow up with you and watch you get married and have children.

Xin'er, this is also the simplest wish of your mother and me.

Unfortunately, we couldn't do it.

When the letter was written here, it was over, without even signing it, only a piece of ink that was also wetted by tears.

I sighed lightly, handed the letter to Lu Lingguang, and said in a low voice, "He did his best."

According to what Lu Hengmei said, Lu Hengzhi poisoned Mrs. Lu, and judging from the tone of these letters, the time difference between the writing time is not too far away, but the writing skills are so much worse. will weaken rapidly.

When an old man is poisoned again, his physical and mental strength must be greatly reduced, and even in that case, he still uses these methods to leave these things behind.

If, if Lu Lingguang's father could discover the secret in the jewelry box after getting it, then...
