Chapter 462
Chapter 462
Meng Haisheng and Lin Mucheng were still studying what was written on the parchment.
On the other side, Hou Bingde, Hou Jingchen, Hou Yaping, and Hou Yaxin appeared in Hou Bingde's study together.
"Yaxin, what's wrong with you? I asked you to do such a small thing, and it's been several days, and there is no news from you."
"I was going to deliver the ancient book today, but Zhou Dazhuang said that he went to Mr. Song's house and searched for a long time, but couldn't find the ancient book."
"You stinky boy, what can I say about you? When you take on a job, you always promise, but you always mess it up for me."
Hou Yaxin quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was scared to death.
When he took over this matter, he promised that he would find a way to get the book in a week at most.
As a result, Mr. Song refused to listen, and finally he had no choice but to find someone to steal it, but he still didn't get the book.
Hou Bingde scolded him, so Hou Yaxin could only listen obediently.
"Second Master, is it possible that the news is inaccurate? Old Master Song doesn't have the ancient book you mentioned."
"Fuck you, I've been looking for this ancient book for a long time, and I can still get the news wrong."
Hou Bingde was furious and yelled at Hou Yaxin.
A quarter of an hour later, Hou Jingchen saw that Hou Bingde had let out his anger, so he spoke.
"Dad, don't worry, Yaxin has tried his best. I'll send someone to find out the news later to see what's going on."
Hou Bingde waved his hand at Hou Yaxin in a very depressed manner.
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't get in my way here."
Hou Yaxin left without saying a word.
The door of the study was closed, and Hou Jingchen looked at Hou Bingde with suspicion.
"Dad, is this reliable?"
"Of course it is reliable. Our ancestors left a letter saying that the Eight-Nation Alliance got the treasure map from the palace."
"They sent a very powerful army and found the treasures left by Nanyue according to the treasure map."
"But because there were too many treasures and the mountain roads were difficult to walk, the army did not bring the treasures of Nanyue out. They were going to bring more people to move the treasures. As a result, after the army came out, they encountered an uprising of the local people. , all of them were buried in the deep mountains and old forests. "
"Later, some of our ancestors accidentally got the news about the treasure map, but it was a time of chaos, and our ancestors did not dare to act rashly, so they passed it down from generation to generation, asking the clan members to pay attention to the book "Zhaokong Qishu". "
"If you hadn't lost the 2 million this time, our family's hole would have become bigger and bigger, and it would have almost become a bottomless pit. I wouldn't have asked you to find the "Zhaokong Qishu" now."
Speaking of this, Hou Bingde was also very depressed.
He had received news that the "Zhaokong Qishu" was in the hands of Mr. Song, but in order to prevent alerting others and arousing suspicion, he had not done it.
Who would have thought that a very simple thing would become extremely difficult now, and even the "Zhaokong Qishu" had disappeared.
The more Hou Bingde thought about it, the more he felt that he had been unsuccessful in the past two years.
Obviously, he did everything as he pleased before, and everything went smoothly.
"Dad, after so many years, there may be some discrepancies in what happened back then. We can't put all our treasures on this."
Hou Jingchen still didn't believe the Nanyue treasure.
"This must be true. Otherwise, where do you think the antiques and calligraphy in our house came from?"
"These were all stolen from the Eight-Nation Alliance by our ancestors."
"I also heard a rumor that the Eight-Nation Alliance stole a large number of rare treasures from the palace. Some of them were hidden before they could be transported away."
"And only a few officers know where the treasure is hidden. One of them led people to look for the Nanyue treasure."
"If we can find the Nanyue treasure, maybe we can also find the place where the Eight-Nation Alliance hid things."
The more Hou Bingde talked, the more bizarre it became, and the less Hou Jingchen believed it.
But now he had no better way to make up for the 2 million deficit, so he could only bite the bullet and inquire about the news from Mr. Song.
The next day at noon, Hou Jingchen brought back some bad news to Hou Bingde.
"Dad, Mr. Song's house was robbed last night. In addition to the ancient books, there were also his family assets that he had saved for decades. Now the police have intervened and said it was done by a habitual thief."
"What? Hurry up and call Yaxin over to find out what happened."
Hou Bingde had completely lost the trace of "Zhaokong Qishu".
Meng Haisheng spliced the two pieces of kraft paper together overnight.
He didn't recognize the words on it, but as aAs a college student of Beijing University, this little problem is not difficult for him.
After class the next morning, Lin Mucheng and Meng Haisheng went to the library together.
There are many books here, and it is not difficult to find the origin of the characters on the map.
"Haisheng, look."
Lin Mucheng came with a thick history of the development of Chinese characters and showed it to Meng Haisheng.
"This character is very similar to the characters of Nanyue."
Meng Haisheng took the thick book and compared it with a character in his hand. It was indeed the same as the record.
"It seems that the things marked on this map should come from Nanyue, but I don't know what is placed specifically?"
"If it is a mausoleum or something like that, I am not interested."
Meng Haisheng is a businessman who likes to make money, but a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. He doesn't like to dig graves.
"The person who drew this map certainly doesn't want to dig up his ancestral grave."
Meng Haisheng has heard a little about the history of Nanyue.
This ancient country that exists in legends has always been very mysterious. Basically, what is left are legends, and there is very little real history that can be found.
Meng Haisheng didn't have much hope for this map.
Anyway, he had to go to Yuechengling to find Lin Jinhui. If he could find the things hidden by the Nanyue people, it would be great.
If it was difficult to find, he wouldn't force it.
Meng Haisheng was so Buddhist. If Hou Bingde knew, Hou Bingde would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
This was the big secret of the Hou family. Hou Bingde had been asking about the whereabouts of "Zhaokong Qishu" for decades after he learned about it.
As a result, Meng Haisheng got what he had tried so hard to get easily, and people didn't take it seriously.
Time passed, the weather gradually became hot, and Meng Haisheng had one exam after another.
He was once the first in the grade, and many people were waiting to see his results to see if he could continue to be the first in the grade.
But Meng Haisheng didn't care about this at all. He had been preparing for several months and could go south soon. At this moment, all his thoughts were on going to Yuechengling.
"Haisheng, you should call home often after you leave."
Meng Haisheng's departure date is just around the corner, and Lin Mucheng feels empty and uncomfortable.
Since they have been together, they have never been apart for a long time.
"Wife, I will, but after I get to Lingnan, I'm afraid I won't be able to call you at a fixed time, but I promise that as long as there is a chance to call, I will definitely contact you first."
