Colonel Takada was very alert. Even though there were two guards outside his bedroom, he still closed the window before going to bed. At this moment, Tangcheng hung outside the window. After carefully checking the condition of the window, he could only take
He took out the small tool he had prepared long ago and slowly inserted the thin tip of the wire into the gap in the window. After a few breaths, the wire in Tang Cheng's hand passed through the gap in the window smoothly.
Tang Cheng, who moved gently, saw that the iron wire had passed through the gap in the window, and immediately pulled back the iron wire. This time, he replaced it with a thin copper tube, and slowly penetrated into the gap in the window along the traces left by the iron wire. Tang Cheng
The copper tube used now is hollow, and the thinnest incense stick can be inserted into it. After the copper tube passed through the window smoothly, Tang Cheng took out the incense drawn from the system, lit it and slowly
Slowly probe into the copper pipe.
Last night, Tang Cheng immediately climbed along the rope net until he climbed to the top of the building. Compared with Tang Cheng's previous attack method of forcibly breaking in, Tang Cheng's action steps tonight seemed a bit cumbersome, but Tang Cheng himself
It was a bit of fun. After changing positions on the roof, Tang Cheng quickly followed the rope back to his room. After confirming that the drunken Japanese businessmen were still sleeping, Tang Cheng opened the door and walked in.
Climb the stairs to the floor where Colonel Takada's room is located.
It was already late at night, and the waiters on the floor had gone to sleep early. Along the empty corridor, Tang Cheng, who was tiptoeing, soon appeared outside the door of the suite where Colonel Takada was staying. Under the door.
This was just a step forward for Tang City, and he even placed incense in the rooms where Colonel Takada's guards stayed. After placing the incense, he hid back in Tang City at the corner of the stairs.
, kept looking down at his watch. Three minutes later, Tang Cheng returned to the corridor.
Tang Cheng has the lock-picking skills he drew from the system, and when he left Chongqing, he brought a set of homemade lock-picking tools with him, which came in handy now. The hotel door lock is not difficult to open.
It only took Tang Cheng a few breaths to successfully open the door of Osaka Takada's suite. Before entering, Tang Cheng even put shoe covers on his shoes. He didn't want to leave any traces on the other party.
On the sofa outside the suite, the two guards were sleeping crookedly. Tang Cheng just wanted to laugh. After confirming that the two of them had lost any consciousness, Tang Cheng opened the bedroom and the outside room with the scented antidote in his mouth.
The door between them. Colonel Takada, who was sleeping on the bed, was already comatose at this time.
In a sleepless state, after checking the other party's condition, Tang Cheng walked to the window and first extinguished the incense in the copper tube, then fixed the flying claw wrapped in cloth on the window sill.
All the boxes that Colonel Takada planned to bring back to Japan this time were neatly stacked beside his bed. Tang Cheng counted them carefully, no more, no less, exactly fourteen boxes. Tang Cheng had no intention of taking these boxes away, so he
The first step is to open the boxes. Only by opening these boxes can Tang Cheng know what is in the boxes. Tang Cheng, who has already turned on the triple eyepiece skill, has not turned on the lights in the bedroom, so he will not be affected by the light.
Even in a dimly lit bedroom, he could see things as clearly as daylight.
Huh? The first box Tang Cheng picked up was unexpectedly light. He was worried that the box was empty, so Tang Cheng opened the box first, but the result surprised Tang Cheng. The box Tang Cheng opened
, the size is the same as other boxes, but inside the box, there are two wooden boxes, one large and one small, wrapped in cotton. Tang Cheng originally thought that these two boxes would contain nothing more than gold and silver jewelry, but when he waited
When I opened the two boxes, I found that there were two dried ginsengs in excellent condition, one large and one small.
The small ginseng looked like it was seventy or eighty years old, but Tang Cheng was stunned when he saw the big ginseng. A ginseng of this size must be at least two hundred years old. Tang Cheng was so happy that he almost screamed.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and suppressed the sound in his throat. When Tang Cheng was still in Nanjing, he had been secretly looking for old high-end medicinal materials. After going south to Chongqing, he even used the money to seize the assets of traitors.
Taking the opportunity, I replaced a lot of good medicinal materials with inferior ones.
But this was the first time Tang Cheng had seen ginseng that was of such good quality and so old, and there were two of it. Tang Cheng, who was excited, slowly closed the wooden box containing the ginseng, and then put the two boxes away.
With the joy brought by these two ginsengs, Tang Cheng opened other boxes much faster, until he saw an emperor's gold seal from one of the boxes, and he was ecstatic
It came to Tangcheng's mind again.
Counting this gold seal, Tang City already has two emperor's seals. Not to mention the value of these two gold seals, just
The emperor's name and these two gold seals were priceless. All the boxes were opened by Tang Cheng. The things originally packed in the boxes, except for the two ginsengs that were first put into the equipment bag by Tang Cheng, the rest.
Everything was now placed on the floor of the bedroom. There were twelve self-alchemy bricks without any markings. Tang Cheng weighed each one, and the total weight seemed to be more than one hundred kilograms.
More than one hundred kilograms may not sound like much, but these more than one hundred kilograms are gold. During the Republic of China, most of the gold circulating on the market was gold bars, which are also commonly known as large yellow croaker and small yellow croaker. Gold is a precious metal in any country. Under normal circumstances
Under the rule of law, gold was not allowed to circulate in the market. In the early years of the Republic of China, almost all the people circulating in the market were Yuan Datou, also known as Dayang. It was only in the middle of the Republic of China that due to the skyrocketing prices and the massive loss of silver dollars, currencies in various places were not universal, so
Gold bars became hard currency.
During the Republic of China, there were two sizes of gold bars, one was a small yellow croaker gold bar weighing one tael, and the other was a large yellow croaker gold bar weighing twelve taels. At the time of the Republic of China, the regulation of sixteen taels per catty was still used, so the one-tael gold bars were used.
The weight of small yellow croaker gold bars should be 31.25 grams, and the weight of large yellow croaker gold bars should be 312.5 grams. In other words, according to the metric conversion, one kilogram of gold can hold up to three large yellow croaker gold bars plus two small yellow croaker gold bars. Tangcheng has more than one hundred kilograms of gold in front of him.
, if converted into gold bars, there would be more than 300 large yellow croaker gold bars and more than 200 small yellow croaker gold bars.
However, there is no shortage of gold in the Tang family now. The gold mine in northern Myanmar can produce no less than ten kilograms of high-purity gold almost every month. And according to Ma Ye and the professor’s estimation, the gold mine in northern Myanmar can produce no less than ten kilograms of high-purity gold.
The mine can be mined for at least two more years. So facing the gold in front of him, Tang Cheng was only slightly excited and stopped paying attention to them. What really made Tang Cheng ecstatic was that he took the gold from other boxes.
Among the antique calligraphy and paintings that have come out, most of them are high-quality ones.
Tang Cheng didn't have a deep understanding of antiques, so he couldn't estimate the value of this pile of things at once. And now is not the time to worry about these things. After taking out all the things in the boxes, Tang Cheng first
He put some valuable-looking antique calligraphy and paintings into his carry-on bag, and then slid down silently along the rope fixed on the window sill. When Tang Cheng came back, his carry-on bag was already full.
of bricks and stones.
Tang Cheng relied on the rope on the window sill and moved back and forth, using his personal equipment bag to move all the things on the bedroom floor to the deserted yard. Waiting for him to fill them with bricks and stones.
In the boxes, put the boxes as they were, and finally remove the flying claws fixed on the windowsill. After removing all traces, Tang Cheng left directly from the door. When he returned to his room, those few
A drunken Japanese businessman was still sleeping soundly.
Holding back the discomfort, Tang Cheng poured some wine on himself, and then lay down directly on the floor with joy. Tang Cheng, who was not sleepy at all, was lying on the floor at this moment, but he was thinking about today.
A late harvest. All the things he transferred to the abandoned courtyard were packed into iron boxes that had been prepared long ago, and then buried deep underground. The turf covered by Tang City above the deep pit only needed a rain.
Covering all traces, no one would have thought that there were still a number of treasures buried in this abandoned yard.
After more than an hour, Tang Cheng, who had been thinking wildly, finally fell asleep. When he woke up again, there were not only the drunk Japanese businessmen in the room, but also a few Japanese military police with grim faces. He was asked
Tang Cheng and others, who were not allowed to talk to each other, were taken out of the room by the military police, and together with the other guests in the hotel, they were gathered in the restaurant on the first floor. "Sakata-senpai, what happened?" Tang Cheng, who knew it well,
Pretending to be confused, he quietly asked about the Japanese businessman with whom he had a drink last night.
Saburo Sakata, who is also in the brokerage business, was also confused. Before they woke up in Tangcheng, the military police broke down the door and woke them up. However, Saburo Sakata was the most sociable, and he quickly learned from the people in the restaurant.
I got the news from an acquaintance. "I heard that Colonel Takada's things were lost! The military police are here to help arrest people! They asked us to come down, maybe just to ask about the situation!" Saburo Sakata's voice was very low, and there was an expression on his face.
A trace of uncertainty.
In Shanghai, the people who should not be offended the most are the military police. Even Japanese businessmen like Saburo Sakata showed some lack of confidence when facing the military police. Tang Cheng did not notice Saburo Sakata's expression at this moment. He was just as if he had something to say.
Looking thoughtfully at the other people in the restaurant, he saw the serious-looking Japanese military police in the restaurant. Tang Cheng, who was sitting next to Saburo Sakata, looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was already happy in his heart.
