Chapter 88 Mutual Exchange
Cheng Shi listened very attentively this time and watched carefully to see if the other party was lying. After Gong Yan finished telling the story, he stopped to drink tea.
Cheng Shi took this opportunity and asked: "Shi Dakai's treasure, some say he buried it in Yingpan Mountain, the Taiping Army's camp!"
Some people say that he hid it in the unfathomable Dadu River, and some even say that he buried it in Wangshanping, Chongqing!
But these are just widely circulated opinions among the people. Mr. Gong, why do you say you know the exact location?!"
Gong Yan smiled and said: "These legendary places are actually not treasure hiding places. As for why I know!
That’s because I am a descendant of one of the generals. My grandfather told my father the location, and my father told me again!”
Cheng Shi was a little surprised when he heard the other party's answer, but he had already somewhat guessed the other party's answer.
Cheng Shi continued to ask: "Then why, Mr. Gong, did you tell me this secret instead of digging for the treasure yourself?!"
Gong Yan sighed and continued: "That's because the leaders of both sides at that time thought of hiding the treasure only after they were besieged by the Qing army!
Moreover, neither party believed the other, so the place where the treasure was hidden was found by both parties by their respective cronies, and they hid it together!
The place where the treasure is hidden is deep in the mountains. If there is no comparison, those who hide the treasure may not be able to find the original place!
That’s why they used a codebook to record the location of the treasure, and the Tiandihui token is the key to the treasure!”
Cheng Shi said with a smile: "Mr. Gong means to cooperate with me, let's go dig this treasure together?!"
Gong Yan said excitedly: "Yes, after their group hid the treasure, they were surrounded by the Qing army when they left the mountain!
Most of them were killed by the Qing army, and those who were lucky enough to escape lost their code books and keys during their escape!
And the reason why I told Mr. Cheng is because I only know the approximate place in the mountain, but Mr. Cheng has the password and the key!"
Cheng Shi asked with a smile: "You know the general location, you can search all over the place, why do you need the exact location and key?!"
Gong Yan shook his head and said: "The scope is too big. My father has been searching for decades, but he hasn't found any clues!
Unless the army is used, but if the army is used, Mr. Cheng thinks that I have the money to take it, and I still have the life to take it!"
Cheng Shi nodded and said, "Yes, in that case, the chance of surviving is slim. Then do you know how to crack this code?!"
Gong Yan's excited expression finally disappeared, and he said helplessly: "I don't know, I only know it based on the notes left by my grandfather!
Only then did I confirm that this book is the code book with the detailed location of the treasure. As for how to crack the code!
My father also didn’t know, only the notebook left by my grandfather, maybe there was information to crack the code in it!
There is also the Tiandihui token key, we don’t know how to use it, but we can study this slowly!"
Cheng Shi smiled and said: "Yes, let's exchange it. If you tell me where the treasure is in the mountain, you can take the code book!"
As for the key, I will keep it myself, and when you crack the address in the password, we can go find the treasure together!"
Gong Yan was stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect Cheng Shi to believe him so much, but he still said excitedly.
"Okay, great, I didn't expect Mr. Cheng to trust me so much?!"
Cheng Shi smiled and replied: "It's not that I trust you, but it's just how can one person do such a big thing!"
Gong Yan was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng said the same thing, so I can't hide it too much. The treasure is hidden in the Purple Mountain!"
Cheng Shi and Gong Yan both laughed, and then they left each other's contact information, and then they left the teahouse!
Cheng Shi also calculated the time in his mind at this time, and the two of them chatted in the teahouse for about an hour!
Logically speaking, Deng Xin and the others should have already searched his house!
After Cheng Shi saw the other party walking away, he followed Gong Yan and returned to No. 56 Beitang Road. He stared at Gong Yan and returned to the building!
Cheng Shi returned to the place where the three of them separated, and sure enough he saw Cheng Shi and Hong Ze sitting on the ground and resting!
When the two of them saw Cheng Shi coming back, they both stood up quickly. Deng Xin stood up and said, "Brother Cheng is back, how is it?!"
Cheng Shi looked at Hong Ze next to Deng Xin, then took out five oceans from his body, handed them to him, and gave instructions.
"Inspector Hong, Gong Yan is very important. I know you only keep an eye on Gong Yan during working hours!
Now, I need you to keep an eye on him for me at night. He has gone back now. You call the rickshaw who is keeping an eye on him!
I will let him cooperate with you during the day, so you can rest during the day, and then you will have to keep an eye on him at night!
I will count 2 oceans for you every day. Of course, if you don’t keep an eye on him in the end and let him run away, your ocean will be gone.”
Hong Ze looked at the five oceans in his hand and heard that there would be two oceans every day. He was naturally very excited and nodded repeatedly.
"Thank you Agent Cheng, I will keep an eye on him without blinking an eye!"
Hong Ze then turned around and left. Not long after, the rickshaw driver came over and said to the two of them, "What are your orders, sirs?!"
Cheng Shi then threw him two oceans and said: "From now on, I will give you one ocean every day, and you will cooperate with Hong Ze and keep an eye on him during the day!"
You have to report to me what he went there during the day and what he did. Of course, if you didn’t keep an eye on him, the money would be gone!”
The rickshaw driver looked at the two oceans in his hands and said excitedly: "Okay, sir, I will keep an eye on him!"
After the rickshaw driver also left, Deng Xin came to Cheng Shi and asked doubtfully: "Brother Cheng, what did you find? Why did you spend so much money on this person?!"
Cheng Shi briefly told Deng Xin about the conversation he had with Gong Yan in the teahouse. Deng Xin opened his mouth wide and took a long time to react, then said excitedly.
"I also know about this treasure. It is a treasure that can be used by a wealthy country, but why did you just give him the code book like this!
But they only exchanged Purple Mountain, this general treasure hiding place, this is not an equivalent exchange?!"
Cheng Shi smiled, stared at the excited city, and said slowly: "Do you really believe the treasure story he told?!"
When I heard this, I was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully: "Brother Cheng, don't you believe it? These things have caused several people to lose their lives. What else can they be besides treasures?!"
