Chapter 629 Zheng Ming’s conspiracy!
Chapter 629 Zheng Ming’s conspiracy!
After everyone walked into the underground passage holding torches, a corridor with soldier statues placed on both sides appeared in Jia Dongming's sight.
Jia Dongming looked at these statues, as well as the scratches and small amounts of blood left on the floor tiles of the corridor, and immediately realized that Zheng Ming and his team must have triggered a mechanism when they entered here, and ultimately, Zheng Ming and his team successfully passed through the mechanism at a very small cost.
Jia Dongming stood in front of the corridor, pretending to take out a flashlight to check the situation in the corridor. In fact, he was using his Eagle Eye skill to observe the operating principles of the mechanism.
"Director Jia! What are you looking at? Is there something wrong with these statues?" Yang Kaihua asked Jia Dongming curiously when he saw Jia Dongming holding a flashlight and shining it on the statues in the corridor.
When Jia Dongming heard Yang Kaihua's question, he shone the flashlight on the scratches on the stone bricks on the corridor floor and introduced to Yang Kaihua in a serious manner: "Deputy Captain Yang! Look at the scratches on the ground. They are obviously left by swords. Look at the weapons in the hands of these stone statues. Don't you think there is something wrong with these stone statues?"
After hearing Jia Dongming's reminder, Yang Kaihua used the light of the flashlight to see the traces left on the ground of the corridor and the weapons in the hands of the statues. He then realized that these statues were completely different from the ones they had seen before. They were mechanisms deliberately set up by the tomb owner when building the tomb.
With this thought in mind, Yang Kaihua immediately handed the torch in his hand to his colleague, then took out a flashlight and used the light of the flashlight to check the situation in the tunnel. He asked Jia Dongming with a serious expression: "Director Jia! Looking at these scratches, they are scratches that were left not long ago. It can be seen that the mechanism here has been triggered by Zheng Ming and others. We should not be in any danger now if we pass through here?"
At this time, Jia Dongming had used his Eagle Eye skill to discover that the mechanism in the corridor had been reactivated by someone. This meant that if they passed through the corridor rashly, they would also trigger the stone statue mechanism in the corridor.
Fortunately, Jia Dongming had discovered several triggering devices through his perspective. When he heard what Yang Kaihua said, he shook his head instinctively and said to Yang Kaihua solemnly, "Deputy Captain Yang! You are right. These mechanisms have indeed been triggered by Zheng Ming and his men. But I think there is one thing that is different. Once a mechanism is triggered, it is impossible to restore it to its original state. So I suspect that the stone statue mechanisms in these corridors have been reactivated by Zheng Ming."
After hearing Jia Dongming's analysis, Yang Kaihua looked at the stone statues standing on both sides of the corridor with the help of the flashlight and asked Jia Dongming solemnly, "Director Jia! So what do you think we should do? We can't just go back the same way after arriving here, right?"
At this time, Jia Dongming had already discovered the tiles in the corridor that could trigger the mechanism. After hearing what Yang Kaihua said, he pondered for a while and said to Yang Kaihua: "Deputy Captain Yang! Do you remember the flip-top mechanism we encountered before?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the activation conditions of these stone statues must be related to the floor tiles on the ground of the corridor. Since it is related to the floor tiles, it will naturally leave some traces. Now I am following the footsteps of Zheng Ming and his team, and I should be able to find some clues."
When Yang Kaihua heard Jia Dongming's analysis, he thought of the flip mechanism they had encountered before, and then of the gap in the stone tiles on the ground. He immediately guessed what Jia Dongming was thinking, and reminded Jia Dongming with a serious face: "Director Jia! Then you better be careful." Just as Jia Dongming began to mark the tiles that triggered the mechanism in the corridor, Zheng Ming and the Zheng family members finally entered the treasure house of King Chuang after going through untold hardships.
The children of the Zheng family looked at the various treasures piled up in front of them, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they shouted to Zheng Ming excitedly: "Uncle! We have finally found the treasure of King Chuang. With these gold, silver and jewelry, our Zheng family will never have to worry about filling their stomachs again."
Zheng Ming looked at the piles of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, and paintings in front of him, and his face also showed an excited expression. He reached out and picked up a few pearl necklaces, and then casually threw them on the box. Then he handed the treasure map in his hand to his nephew and said to him: "Zheng Jun! Take the map and find the exit. When you are sure that the exit is OK, come back and report."
Zheng Jun is not only Zheng Ming's nephew, but also Zheng Ming's apprentice. When Zheng Jun heard Zheng Ming's instructions and thought of the police who followed them into the mausoleum, he reminded Zheng Ming with a serious face: "Uncle! It will take at least half a year for us to empty the gold, silver and jewelry here. Now there is a group of police chasing us, and I suspect that the foot of Tianmen Mountain must have been surrounded by the police. If we want to bypass the blockade of the police and empty this treasure house, it may not be an easy task."
"Brother! When we entered the fake underground palace, we had already propped up the stone door of the underground palace. Unless the police use explosives to blow up the white jade door of the fake underground palace, they will not be able to enter the fake underground palace, let alone find the entrance to the real underground palace."
"Also, when we passed through several mechanisms in the mausoleum, my uncle reactivated them. Even if the police are lucky enough to enter the pseudo underground palace and find the passage into the mausoleum, it will be harder for them to pass through those mechanisms. As for what you just said, the police surrounded Tianmen Mountain, that is nonsense. Tianmen Mountain is so big, how many people would the police have to send out to completely surround Tianmen Mountain?"
When Zheng Ming learned that the police had entered the mausoleum, he had been thinking along the way, how to get rid of those police and empty the treasure of King Chuang?
Zheng Ming frowned when he heard the argument between his two nephews. He scolded them in a very serious tone: "Zheng Jun! Zheng Yun! Stop arguing, the two of you. There are so many gold, silver and jewelry here. Let alone half a year, even if we use a year, it is impossible to move them all out smoothly."
"In order to prevent the treasures here from falling into the hands of others, we must create the illusion of a mausoleum collapse, leaving all the police officers in the mausoleum, and then leave here with a small amount of gold, silver and jewelry, find a place where no one knows us and hide our identities. After two years, when the rumors have died down, we can quietly come back and empty this treasure house."
When Zheng Jun learned of Zheng Ming's idea, he immediately gave Zheng Ming a thumbs up and complimented him with admiration: "Uncle! Your plan is simply amazing. This way we can not only cover up the news that the treasure has been found, but also preserve the treasure house, so that the descendants of our Zheng family can live a life without worries about food and clothing from now on."
