Chapter 2377 is far more complicated than imagined
Is the underground palace empty or a mountain of gold piled up? In fact, Wang Zan is not very interested. He came here purely because Song Huan said about him Song Laohu's wish, otherwise he would not want to go this trip at all.
Even if he really discovered the gold, silver and jewelry in the underground palace, he would definitely be dedicated to the country afterwards. After all, Wang Zan has always been not very interested in money.
After discovering these corpses, Wang Zan also became very interested and wanted to know what happened here back then.
The Socholuo family is one of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. It is directly dependent on the royal family. Its loyalty to the Qing Dynasty is self-evident. That is why Ba Hai built an underground palace here to hoard weapons and money. He thought that he would have the opportunity to let the declined Qing Dynasty take the stage again in the future. But now, there are so many guards in the underground palace that have died, which is very likely that the last hope of the Qing royal family is quite good.
So, who did it?
"From your talent and knowledge about the research of the Qingming Dynasty, these guards should be able to distinguish the costumes of these guards? There are many types of guards in the Qing court. Can they see their specific identities?" Wang Zan raised his head and squinted his eyes and said, "Don't say I don't know, otherwise I'll bring you here to a loneliness and it's useless."
Yu Hanqiu rolled his eyes, obviously dissatisfied by Wang Zan, but she was indeed quite unhappy in this area, and she had a lot of knowledge and thorough research. She just took a few glances and identified their identities and said, "It's the Great Guard, that is, the Imperial Guard around the Emperor."
Wang Zan frowned and said, "Can you not look carefully? The answer was given so quickly. I can easily think that you are making a fool of yourself, okay?"
Yu Hanqiu sneered and said, "Have you watched TV in the Qing Dynasty palace?"
"Hmm? Of course I've seen some, what's wrong?"
"If you are not blind or Alzheimer's disease, you should be able to see that the clothes on these corpses are very obvious yellow jackets. There are only two types of clothing that can be worn by people. One is given by the emperor, and the other is the guards around the emperor, which symbolizes the imperial power..."
Wang Zan was immediately embarrassed when she said something. After looking down, she found that many of the clothes left on the corpse were the yellow jackets that were common on TV. This was indeed the clothing of the Qing Dynasty's large inner guards at that time.
He should have seen it, but he didn't think about it at all.
Wang Zan smashed his lips and said, "You are right?"
"hehe……"
"Since they are the big inner guards, this group of people may be the one who escorted Sochororo from the capital to Ningguta to take refuge. However, they were obviously killed as soon as they arrived at Ningguta and entered the underground palace. Who could have the ability to do such a thing at that time?" Wang Zan stood up suspiciously, rubbed his hands and said to himself.
Yu Hanqiu was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Is there any need to say? In Ningguta, only Bahai has the greatest power. He has military power, so it must be his own."
"It seems to make sense. Maybe it's because the general felt that the Qing court had no chance of rising again, so he thought that he would be a king of a different surname here from now on. But unexpectedly, a team of guards suddenly came to escort the Sochouo clans to take refuge here, and then discovered his conspiracy?" Wang Zan spread his hands and said, "There's no way, so I can only rebel."
"But, these are not recorded in history books and classics."
"Does this record of what happened after Bahai? This person should have disappeared out of thin air. No record of him has ever appeared since then." Wang Zan asked back.
Yu Hanqiu opened his mouth, as if he could not refute it. The records about Bahai did know that Ningguta had ended in the late Qing Dynasty and had never passed it again. Perhaps he had disappeared with a large amount of wealth since then. If the Qing Dynasty had a little chance of arise, he probably wouldn't have taken this step.
"As far as I know, there are many descendants of the Qing Dynasty who went overseas to take root and survive when the Qing Dynasty was about to perish. A large part of them changed their names and surnames in that area. Maybe Bahai is one of them." Wang exclaimed and said slowly: "The demise of the Qing Dynasty is not unreasonable. The emperor in charge is not strong, and the hearts of the people below have long dispersed..."
After coming out of this room and going down, I saw a lot of corpses along the way, but this time they were all wearing blue jackets, and they were also guards but not as ranks of imperial guards. The other rooms were either empty or corpses were undone. In short, there were no gold and silver mountains or other things to be discovered.
The more it extends to the inside, the wider the area. Wang Zan had thought that judging from the top of the underground palace, the area was the size of a football field, but now he has been walking for more than an hour and has not turned to the entrance. It seems that there is still a long distance, so it is hard to imagine how big it is here.
"How much gold and silver should be stored in such a large warehouse? I'm afraid it's almost done if I really have to put it in a mountain of gold." Yu Hanqiu looked at Wang Zan suspiciously and said, "Why do I feel something is wrong? This project is too big, so big that it can no longer be used as an underground palace for storing money. There is really no need to spend time and effort to create such a large area."
Wang Zan also frowned and said "Hmm". The general Ba Hai is not a fool. He spent twenty years to create such a big project, but in the end he found that he could not fill half of the money he had plundered. Isn't that a trick in his mind?
This is definitely a thankless thing. No one will do such useless work unless Ba Hai did not use it simply for storing money.
The two of them continued to walk forward suspiciously, but no mechanism was found under their feet, and the stone chambers they had encountered before appeared on both sides of the long passage. This strangeness made Wang Zan and Yu Hanqiu deeply confused.
At this time, the sky was still very dark outside. It was not long before midnight, and it would take a few more hours to go until dawn.
Previously, the villagers of Wang Zhuang were not sleepy after running back. Most of them gathered together to talk about their experiences tonight, and most of them were still in fear.
"I only heard that someone had passed by and met a lonely ghost. I didn't expect that this time I encountered a long queue. This Ningguta is really weird. I don't know how the young man named Wang is doing." Wang Zhuang squatted on the ground, smoking a cigarette, then looked up and said to several villagers: "Let's go over and take a look tomorrow morning, don't let them be scared to death there..."
