Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

No one knew how much wealth had been swept up in Jiangnan in the past three days, or how many people had gone bankrupt and wanted to commit suicide. CIA had calculated this figure before, but the results shocked everyone.

No one dared to reveal the data, which would remain a secret in history forever. A hundred years later, scholars had tried to restore that history, but he found that no official information could be found.

According to the Chinese secret law, the southern ticket crisis could not be kept secret for more than 80 years. Generally speaking, it would be released after 50 years, but scholars opened the secret section of the Chinese National Archives a hundred years later.

The redwood filing cabinet, which had been sealed for a long time, was opened. The Southern Ticket Crisis archives were once again reopened. However, what followed was a horrifying scene. There were a total of 266 large archives, and 16 of them were empty!

This was simply a sensational legend. Who could steal files from a heavily guarded Chinese archives? Or could it be said that there was a mistake during the transition between the three extensions and the moving venue?

This is also unlikely, since the transfer of files is under the supervision of the military, the police, and the prestigious groups of scholars from the universities. Almost every file is inspected and signed by the person in charge during the transfer process.

This strange case had already become a century-old mystery of the Chinese Clan. When the news spread, the Chinese Clan was in an uproar across the entire globe. In this world, there was no other race that respected history more than the Chinese Clan.

"There is no perfect person or thing in this world. History is just a mirror, no matter who it is, no one is allowed to put makeup on the image in the mirror!"

"With history as the mirror, one can know the rise and fall! Today, people must have the obligation to leave behind a clean mirror that can be used to reflect the rise and fall of future generations! Therefore, history can be sealed for a short period of time, but it cannot be changed or lost! "

The Prime Minister's last wish was an unchangeable iron law of the Chinese, and today, someone dared to make a move against the archives. This was a huge case.

The CIA and the twelve parallel organizations that separated from each other immediately changed the important level of this case to A +, which meant that this case was already equivalent to a military coup.

Using countless manpower and resources, to the public's guesses, it took a whole year and a half. There was not a single clue about this strange case. It was as if those files had never existed.

But the catalogues of all the archives have records of these documents! Even Luo Hao, the first director of the Chinese Archives, the one who was accepted by the Prime Minister as his disciple in the Beijing, had written about the existence of this archive.

When the investigation came to an end, the first historian to apply for access to the archives posted a bold guess on the internet.

The official history data could not be found. While the scholar was paying attention to the progress of the case, he was also searching for clues from the wild history data. In the hands of many folk collectors, he saw many notes on the wild history of the Jiangnan region of the Qing dynasty in 1869.

Many literati had the habit of writing essays and diaries, especially in Jiangnan. Therefore, during the earth-shaking financial crisis, there must have been many literati who had personally witnessed and heard some things. This became the first material to study that piece of history.

In one piece of wild history, the Historian was stunned agape. In the history books, there was a brief discussion about the crisis of the Southern Notes, but it turned out to be so bloody.

"..." "When the sun had set in the west and scattered across the west side of the Yangcheng Lake after dinner, two hundred corpses could be seen floating around where the waves were rolling. The stench of the corpses assaulted the nostrils and the crows pecked, making it impossible to drive them away …"

This was the scene of an Elementary Scholar walking by the lake after dinner when the sun was about to set. He saw with his own eyes that more than two hundred corpses had committed suicide by the Yang Cheng Lake.

"..." "Outside of the Wu Songkou of Shanghai, the corpse ship did not rest day and night. The sound of wailing on the riverbank could be heard in all directions. The end of the mourning white ship could not be seen …"

"..." On the purple gold mountain in Jiangning, the number of people who hang themselves on a tree has reached eight hundred in three days. When night falls, the entire mountain will be filled with the wails of ghosts and the howls of wolves.

One by one, the wild history notes frightened the scholar into staying up all night long. According to the official explanations of the later generations, the financial crisis in Jiangnan in 1969 was a premeditated robbery in which the Western Bankers colluded with decadent forces of the Qing Dynasty to rob Jiangnan's economy.

They tried to crack down on the credit of the south bank in order to plunder quality civilian assets and create a shortage of money in the area of commercial circulation so as to achieve the purpose of bloodstained physical capital.

Xiao Letian, on the other hand, was a defender of the Jiangnan economy. He used financial and military diplomacy to protect the property of the people, as well as the commercial credit of the Southern Ticket, which boosted the confidence of the people, and accelerated the promotion of the credit currency in China.

In the textbook style of official speech, the children are only troubled by the hard memory, but only a true scholar can smell the thick smell of blood between the lines.

During the sleepless nights, the historical expert discovered more and more suspicious points. He even saw some letters from the Xiang Army generals saying that the death of the citizens in the crisis was ten times more common than the war in the Amami Oshima.

In the battle of Amami Oshima, both sides had lost a total of 25,000 people. If what the Xiang Army general said is true, then this financial crisis had killed at least 250,000 citizens of Jiangnan!

As expected, history books were written in blood! The emperors and generals would move their chess pieces time and time again, causing the citizens to die in the millions. If these powerful figures went crazy, the commoners would die in the millions.

"Could it be …" "Don't tell me!" A bold guess suddenly surfaced in the scholar's mind. "Could it be that these records that recorded the true death data were not included from the very beginning?" Were they covering up for a big shot? "Who is this great man?"

He didn't dare to think of that name, but no matter how hard he tried to calm down, that name still kept popping up in his mind.

"Xiao Letian! In that era, the only person who could suppress the change in CIA's information was Xiao Letian himself! "

Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that his analysis would be so close to the truth of history. Those records were actually empty, not even a hundred years ago.

Scholars began to share this bold hypothesis in their own small circle, but everyone thought he was crazy. This act of throwing dirty water on the father without any evidence was destined to be rejected by the people.

However, this fellow was truly bewitched. In the end, he still posted this hypothesis onto the internet and announced the number of Jiang Nan's victims to the public — two hundred and fifty thousand. Furthermore, he pointed the mastermind behind the entire incident directly at Xiao Letian.

The internet was momentarily silenced by this piece of information for three minutes. What followed was a huge public outburst. This scholar had faced an unprecedented attack.
