Chapter 692 Second Floor
These boxes in the tomb are the same as Du Fei guessed before.
As expected, the boxes contained all silver coins, not just ‘Zhan Ren’, but also ‘Ying Yang’, ‘Yuan Datou’, ‘Qing Silver Coin’…
After counting, only the two ear chambers and the middle chamber were cleared out, and there were more than 400 boxes, totaling nearly 5 million.
And these are less than one-third compared to the boxes in the back room.
In other words, if the boxes in the back room are also filled with silver coins, the total number of silver coins hidden here will exceed 16 million!
Even reaching 18 million!
However, just as the engineer battalion was preparing to continue clearing the silver coins from the back room.
However, the third company commander Yang Xiucheng trotted over, saluted in front of Gong Yong, and shouted "report"! .??.??
At this time Du Fei and Gong Yong stood together.
Needless to say, the efficiency of the engineer battalion is quite high!
A simple passage was built overnight to transport the silver coins from the tomb chamber, then transport them to trucks down the mountain and transport them back to the city in batches.
It was only a little after midnight, and nearly one-third of the work was completed.
If we follow this progress, it is estimated that the task will be completed by dawn tomorrow.
But at this moment Yang Xiucheng arrived, causing Gong Yong to frown and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
Yang Xiucheng's identity is somewhat special. He is a university graduate who studied civil engineering and is a technical talent that is focused on cultivating in the army.
So Yang Xiucheng came and gave Gong Yong a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Yang Xiucheng reported, "Comrade Battalion Commander, there is something going on down there. I think we should stop for a while."
Gong Yong frowned, "What's going on?"
Despite his reluctance, he could not and did not dare to turn a deaf ear to Yang Xiucheng's words.
Because the experience and lessons of history tell him that if you don't listen to Comrade Xiucheng, big trouble will occur!
Yang Xiucheng looked at Du Fei beside him, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Batalion Commander, the bottom of this tomb seems to be empty."
! "
Du Fei and Gong Yong were both surprised, even a little incredulous.
Yang Xiucheng added, "Based on the current situation, the weight of the back room is too great and the geological conditions are very unstable. I'm afraid..."
He didn't say what he was afraid of, but even a fool could understand that he was afraid of landslides.
Gong Yong did not dare to neglect and asked quickly, "Then what do you think we should do?"
Yang Xiucheng said, "Get everyone out immediately. Just leave one class homework. Be careful to handle it with care."
In fact, he didn't say that it was best to stop immediately and evacuate everyone.
But Yang Xiucheng is not stupid. He knows how important the task tonight is. It may not matter if he is a little late, but he must not stop.
Gong Yong hesitated for a moment, but for the safety of the soldiers, he nodded resolutely.
Du Fei interrupted, "Comrade, you said it's empty down there?"
Yang Xiucheng nodded and straightened his back subconsciously.
He thought Du Fei disagreed with his views and wanted to challenge his authority, but this was his profession and he had absolute confidence.
Du Fei was not interested in arguing with him. He was concerned about another issue.
Then he asked, "Do you think the bottom part was eroded by running water, or was it originally built like this?"
Yang Xiucheng said in a deep voice, "This... you mean, there is a second floor below the back room?"
Du Fei nodded.
It also reminded him of what Yang Xiucheng said just now.
Why is there only silver coins in this tomb and no other rare treasures?
It would make sense if there was a secret room under the back room where all other kinds of treasures were!
And Du Fei has always had a suspicion in his heart.
Confused.
What's the use of collecting so many Prince Qing's badges before?
And this time, Bang Bang'er found the gold medal from the corpse.
Various previous clues can prove that these badges of Prince Qing's Mansion have some significance and are the key to finding Prince Qing's treasure.
But now, half of the tomb has been emptied, but those badges have not been used from beginning to end.
If there is a secret room here, and the switch to enter the secret room is the waist card of these princes, wouldn't it be very reasonable?
However, these speculations are somewhat taken for granted.
And in his haste this time, he only brought Xiaohong, not his subordinates.
If you want to use Xiaohong to recruit a new rat army nearby, the time will not be too short.
Since he couldn't count on it, Du Fei simply said it directly and saw if Gong Yong and his engineering battalion could find the entrance to the secret room below.
After listening to Du Fei's words, Yang Xiucheng frowned and thought for a while and said, "This possibility is also very high, but the top priority now is to evacuate most of the people. It will not be too late to discuss this after the boxes are emptied."
Du Fei said "Yeah" and said nothing more.
Anyway, he has said everything that needs to be said.
Du Fei returned to the ground with the engineers who were withdrawn from inside.
At this time, there was only one platoon of soldiers still below, and the efficiency of transportation had obviously dropped.
Until the next morning, half of the boxes in the back room had not been cleared out.
And the further you get to the back, the harder it gets.
Because the back room had been flooded, many of the boxes below were simply crushed, and all the silver coins inside were scattered out.
There was no other way. The engineer could only shovel the large pile of silver coins into the earth basket with a shovel, and then carry it out with a pole.
This time the efficiency is even lower.
But as a large amount of silver coins were moved out, the danger of the back room collapsing was basically eliminated.
After daybreak, Gong Yong added another platoon of people to go immediately, striving to transport all the silver coins out before noon.
At the same time, Yang Xiucheng was writing and drawing inside.
In his notebook, he had already drawn a three-dimensional diagram of the entire tomb, and marked several places in the back room and the middle room.
Du Fei had seen them, and they were all what Yang Xiucheng thought might be the entrance to the next level.
Although he didn't know what kind of people built this tomb.
But in terms of architectural structure alone, these places are the most economical.
Du Fei didn't agree after reading it.
Yang Xiucheng's professional skills are definitely no problem, but he has no basic understanding of the aristocratic family of Prince Qing.
The lineage of Prince Qing, whether it is Yixin or Zaizhen.
When did they need to consider "economical benefits" when doing things?
Sure enough, after the last batch of silver coins were transported out.
According to Yang Xiucheng's instructions, the soldiers of the engineering battalion began to look for the entrance to the next level.
As expected, after trying three points in a row, they were all dead after chiseling.
This made Yang Xiucheng suspicious. Did he guess wrong?
There was no second floor below. Was it just because the mountain was hollowed out by years of mountain torrents?
Yang Xiucheng expressed his thoughts.
Gong Yong looked at Du Fei and asked, "Comrade Du Fei, what do you think?"
Before he came, he was ordered to report to Du Fei.
This meant that their command was temporarily handed over to Du Fei. Although Du Fei did not exercise his power, it did not mean that Gong Yong could ignore his opinion.
(I have something urgent to do today, so the word count will be affected. I will try to make up for it in the evening or tomorrow)
