Chapter 1871: Exquisite Mechanism
After Zhao Xu swam to the place where the treasure Qin Liuye told him, he saw that there was indeed a huge stone at the bottom of the lake.
This stone weighs at least a thousand kilograms!
If it were an ordinary person, it would be difficult to move away, let alone push it away.
Zhao Xu once lifted an 800-jin "testing stone". It has buoyancy in the water, and it is not difficult to push a thousand-jin boulder away.
Zhao Xu stood next to the boulder and struggled with his arms, and the internal energy of his Dantian was poured into his arms.
He pushed hard and the boulder moved a little.
Is there any way?
Zhao Xu was overjoyed.
In normal times, Zhao Xuda could drain the lake and use manpower to move the huge stone. However, he was anxious to retrieve the Qin family's treasure, so he moved the huge stone bit by bit by himself.
After a lot of effort, the boulder was finally successfully removed.
A delicate square box is exposed under the stone bottom.
The top of this box is similar to "Huarong Road", which is the code for moving the board. It is not difficult to imagine how careful Mr. Qin Liu is.
If you just move a huge boulder without a password, you won't be able to get the Qin family's treasure.
Zhao Xu followed Qin Liuye's instruction and successfully unlocked the code. He took off the box and revealed something like a valve.
Zhao Xu first turned to the left three times, then to the right, and then to the left three times.
At this time, a strange scene happened.
The lake water seems to be attracted by the whirlpool and automatically divides to both sides.
Zhao Xu was secretly amazed when he saw it.
After the lake water was successfully separated, a cave about two meters wide appeared.
Zhao Xu was sucked into the cave along with his body and water.
After sliding into the sliding hole, the water flowed out of the tunnel.
Zhao Xu stood up and took a look. There was a cave inside.
Seeing that the mechanism above was temporarily closed, Zhao Xu opened the "dolphin suit" and took out the flashlight from the suit.
After taking a closer look, I was surprised to find that it was a large, artificially carved cave.
Zhao Xu walked inside, except that the ground was a little damp. The cave inside was unimaginable at the bottom of the lake.
What kind of ingenuity does it take to design such an exquisite mechanism?
Zhao Xu couldn't help but think of Shen Wansan's tomb.
According to legend, Shen Wansan's tomb is hidden under the sea.
At that time, it was the ancestors of the five great families who placed the remains of Duke Shen among them.
From the exquisite treasure secret room of Lord Qin Liu, it is not difficult to imagine that Shen Wansan's tomb may be similar.
It seems that the ancestors of the Qin family are also experts in designing mechanisms, at least in designing tombs or treasure-hiding mechanisms. Otherwise, Mr. Qin Liu would not have been able to design such an exquisite treasure-hiding secret room.
Finally, Zhao Xu saw the Qin family's treasure in a large cave.
Zhao Xu counted carefully and found that there were forty-one boxes containing treasures.
Zhao Xu opened them one by one. Some boxes contained golden gold ingots, and some contained silver ingots. There were also various treasures such as cultural toys, calligraphy and paintings, jadeite, jade bracelets, etc. Zhao Xu was overwhelmed by what he could see.
Zhao Xu had no worries about the lack of sales for these gold and silver treasures. After becoming a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty, Mr. Jian Feng was the mastermind behind major auctions across the country.
He promised Zhao Xu that he would take as much as Zhao Xu had.
If these gold and silver treasures were cashed in, their value would be immeasurable.
However, the fact that the five major families have been able to pass on their inheritance to this day is all because of the support of these gold and silver treasures.
Shen Wansan was the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, and he was as rich as anyone in the country.
The ancestors of the five great families were those who followed Shen Wansan.
Shen Wansan had long known that Zhu Yuanzhang would seek his life, and had already arranged his funeral arrangements. The five aristocratic families even received gold and silver treasures from their respective families, which have been passed down to this day.
With these gold and silver treasures, the problem of fund shortage can be solved. Even if the Qin family's treasures are not used completely, as long as the Qin family gives him one-third, it will be enough for Zhao Xu to support him for a while.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu felt a little elated.
After closing the box of these gold and silver treasures again, Zhao Xu didn't stop for much.
The next thing to do is how to deliver Qin Bao's gold and silver treasures safely.
After returning to the lake, Zhao Xu turned off the mechanism again and pushed the huge boulder into a tight fit.
The lake water returned to calmness.
Zhao Xu was wearing a "dolphin suit" and swimming around in the lake like a fish. It was very comfortable.
It's a pity that there is only one piece of this "dolphin suit".
If Master Lu can be rescued and allowed to make a few secret treasures like "dolphin clothes", then when the guardian keys of the five great families are gathered, he can open Duke Shen's treasure.
After returning to the shore, Zhao Xu saw that the originally playful Liuyuan Garden had become deserted.
Things and people here have changed. If we wait for a long time, it will naturally become deserted.
Zhao Xu was so sad!
However, there is nothing that can be done about it.
Qin Liuye's true identity in the provincial capital has been exposed. If he hadn't rescued Qin Liuye out of his wits, he would have let Dongchang use Qin Liuye to blackmail him.
I am afraid that not only Qin Liuye's family is in danger, but even the Qin family's treasures may be lost.
After returning to the hotel, it was almost eight o'clock in the morning.
While Zhao Xu was having breakfast, he was still thinking about how to safely deliver the Qin family's treasure to Lincheng.
Seeing Zhao Xu's dazed expression, Lu Yuqi asked, "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing!" Zhao Xu replied perfunctorily.
"When will Wang Ya leave? What's the matter with her being tired of being with you all day?"
As soon as Lu Yuqi finished speaking, Wang Ya's voice came over.
"Miss Xiaoqi, I will leave soon after I finish my work. You don't have to stare at me like this every day?" Wang Ya sat down next to Lu Yuqi.
While eating the bread, Lu Yuqi said angrily: "I never expected that the eldest lady of the Qian family would be so shameless."
Zhao Xu was worried that Lu Yuqi would anger Wang Ya, so he glared at Lu Yuqi and scolded: "Xiao Qi, what are you talking nonsense about?"
"I'm not wrong!" Lu Yuqi said nonchalantly.
Zhao Xu said to Wang Ya: "Xiaoya, don't be angry, Xiaoqi is a straightforward girl. She means no harm!"
Wang Ya smiled sweetly and said: "It's okay, I can't see things like a little girl."
Lu Yuqi was only nineteen this year, only one year older than Li Miaomiao.
She didn't expect Wang Ya to treat her as a child. She glared at Wang Ya and said, "Who are you calling a little girl?"
"If you're not a girl, are you still a boy?" Wang Ya said to Lu Yuqi.
"You are a boy. I am a woman! Not a girl."
Wang Ya glanced at Lu Yuqi and said, "You'd better take good care of yourself."
"Are you looking for a fight?" Lu Yuqi suddenly stood up.
"Pa!..."
Zhao Xu slapped the table and scolded the two of them: "You two, please stop arguing and sit down!"
Seeing Zhao Xu getting angry.
Wang Ya and Lu Yuqi each glared and turned away, neither of them willing to pay attention to the other.
At this moment, Su Rou came over and greeted Zhao Xu: "Zhao Xu, are you free? I have something to ask you."
