Chapter 150 Chapter 68: The Treasury

Engineers? Why did so many engineers die in the tunnel for no reason? Da Ya and I looked around these corpses.Pointing and pointing, talking non-stop.Suddenly, I saw Liu Ye staring straight at these corpses, her body was motionless, but her face was getting worse and worse, as white as a layer of paper, and there was no blood on her pale face. Something was wrong, she put down her big teeth, hurried over to help her on the shoulder, and asked her what was wrong with concern, and if she was okay. As soon as my hand touched Liu Ye, Liu Ye trembled like an electric shock. After looking at me, she was still terrified, and told me tremblingly that she suddenly remembered something just now. The singing voice I heard was the typical Japanese minor tune, a bit like the Japanese "Lullaby", mellow and sad, very miserable.

Seeing that Da Ya and I were staring and silent, she told us firmly that she was definitely not hallucinating.Definitely heard the singing, the Japanese ditty. The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Da Ya looked around with his arms crossed, reassuring Liu Ye that there is no need to think too much, even if there is a real ghost singing, it’s not a big deal, and it’s not the first time a ghost has encountered a ghost, and people are afraid of ghosts. Ghosts are 70% afraid of people, it's a big deal, and the battle is over, the outcome is not certain, a little Japanese ghost can't go anywhere.

Although we said so, we all felt a little uncomfortable in our hearts, subconsciously held our breath, stopped making any noise, stepped over these corpses cautiously, and continued to walk inside. There are corpses strewn all over the aisle, and sometimes the crowded aisle is full, and it is inevitable to kick and bump if you want to pass. At the beginning, I was a little scared and suspicious, but after walking for a while, I saw that there was nothing strange, so I forgot to be afraid , and gradually got used to it. Da Ya carelessly kicked away the bones blocking the way in front of him, while kicking.He kept cursing the little Japanese devil in his mouth.Liu Ye tightly grasped Da Ya's clothes, and followed closely behind Da Ya, while I walked at the rear, looking around constantly.

As I walked, I felt more and more uneasy. There were more and more corpses on the road, and there were more and more corpses everywhere. After a rough calculation, there were probably hundreds of people. It seemed that this place was an endless hell. Everywhere, it was horrible. Da Ya stopped, turned to us and said, "Lai Liang, sister, I feel something is wrong. Why are there so many dead people? They are all curled up in a ball, and there is no trace of blood on the ground. There are no wounds on the bones, and there are no missing arms or legs. How do you think these Japanese devils died? Could it be that there are really evil spirits who are taking their lives?"

As soon as the words fell.Suddenly, I felt a gust of wind blowing over, and immediately, not only Liu Ye and I, but even Da Ya, who was speaking in vernacular, froze. Liu Ye looked around, and said in a low voice: "No way? There is no real ghost, right? I think these people died of poisoning? They died suddenly." "If they were poisoned, who poisoned them? I heard that the Japanese often poisoned the working Chinese to death in order to keep their secrets. Why did they poison their own people?" Da Ya kept shaking his head, He looked puzzled. I took a look here, then at Da Ya and Liu Ye: "Could it not be a man-made poison?"

"Isn't it poisoned by humans?" Liu Ye and Da Ya didn't understand what I meant. Suddenly Liu Ye raised her eyebrows, looked at me and said, "You mean this might be an accident?" I nodded: "This is the only possibility, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the violent deaths of so many Japanese soldiers. It must have been an accident at the time, and it was out of control here, so I had no choice but to leave these corpses alone, and then build a wall Seal this place up." Regarding my judgment, Da Ya and Liu Ye couldn't stop nodding, but what happened?If it is not a very serious love, in terms of the Japanese way of doing things, they will not easily leave these people alone.

After thinking about it, I turned my hand back and found a candle from my bag and lit it.Illumination is secondary, the main reason is that the air quality here is not good, if it gets caught unknowingly, it is estimated that it will be the same as these dead ghosts, and they will not know how they died. Da Ya suddenly turned his head and asked us: "Well, do you think the Japanese are preparing some kind of chemical weapons here, and an accident happened, and these people themselves were fumigated to death?" When we mention this, we all think of the infamous "731" unit.But in an instant, I doubted this possibility. At that time, the Japanese research on this kind of bacterial weapon was also very confidential, and there were not experimental workshops everywhere. The closest to here should be the 100th Kwantung Army stationed in Changchun at that time. Changchun also has a station about 100 kilometers away, which seems unlikely.

Even so, we still dug out the gas masks we had prepared earlier from our bags and put them on our faces.This kind of gas mask is not very professional, it is a filter type gas mask commonly used in the industry, mainly using activated carbon as the main anti-gas charcoal. If there is really residual poisonous gas here, is it useful to wear it? I don't know, just asking for peace of mind. After walking forward for more than two hundred meters, I finally saw an arched gate. I pushed it with my hands, and the iron gate creaked painfully for a while, but it was actually pushed open. After entering this gate, there are two gates on the left and one on the right. The gates are three meters high and 1.6 meters wide. up.There are already some mottled rust stains on it, making it even more vicissitudes and heavy.

When we first saw these two gates, we were immediately stunned. It is unbelievable to place such a large gate in such a space underground. Manpower and material resources will be greatly wasted. It is impossible for this kind of gate to be done outside. It was transported in and installed, and it was made on site here and installed directly. One can imagine how difficult it was at that time. Liu Ye stared at the words on the gate and suddenly froze, blinked twice, and then told us by pointing at the words on it with disbelief.The words on the door indicate that this is a "vault".

treasury?Da Ya was startled for a moment, then laughed, and then kept cursing the little Japanese devil.It looked like he wanted to eat his flesh raw and drink his blood angrily, but I knew in my heart that the reason why Da Ya was so excited was not necessarily the hatred of the nation, it was more likely to be the things in the vault. There is a large turntable on the big iron door, the size of a manhole cover, with some handles on it, like a steering wheel, which can be turned, and it is probably used to open the door.Da Ya and I tried to turn it around. It looked heavy, but it turned out to be very easy.

After turning counterclockwise for more than ten times, the door finally opened slowly. The space inside the door is surprisingly large. There are many wooden boxes stacked in rows and rows. Each box is about the same size as the current instant noodle boxes. They are stacked in rows and stacked up to the height of a person, just like supermarket shelves. Like a child, neatly arranged. Da Ya grinned, ran to the front, and brought a box over, kicked it to pieces, and after a burst of dust, there was nothing inside. Obviously, this result was beyond Da Ya's expectation. Overturned several wooden boxes one after another, kept opening and checking them, and finally spread his hands in despondency, and turned to Liu Ye and me cursingly: "What a fucking bastard, why are they all empty boxes? Where is the gold? What's the matter?" Is there any more?" Liu Ye and I shook our heads and smiled wryly, ignoring him, and took a careful look around with the flashlight.Seeing Liu Ye suddenly staring at the wooden box in front of her, she froze. Da Ya and I thought something was wrong, so we hurried over and took photos with our flashlights.He didn't find anything abnormal, so he touched the willow leaf lightly and asked her what's wrong. When I squeaked beside me, Liu Ye woke up like a dream, and pointed to the words on the box for us to see. On the side panel of the box, there was a line of words written in petty script: Jilin Yongheng Official Bank. Da Ya pointed to another place and called me: "Lai Liang, look quickly, there are words here too." Liu Ye and I walked over to have a look, and sure enough, there was also a line of small characters engraved on the edge of the top cover of the box: "Official Bank of the Three Eastern Provinces." I was confused for a while, how could it be a bank in the Northeast?There are so many Japanese devils in Chinese banks, what is going on?Was this treasury built by China itself or by the Japanese? Seeing that Da Ya and I were frowning, Liu Ye told us in a low voice, if our expectations are correct, this should be the temporary vault where the Japanese robbed gold and silver back then. After the "September 18th" Incident, the entire Northeast was occupied, and the Japanese Kwantung Army first seized transportation lines and financial institutions wherever they went. At that time, the main financial institutions in Northeast China were the official bank of the three provinces in the Northeast, which was the government-run bank of the Northeast local government; there was also the Bianye Bank, which was established by the warlord forces of the Feng Dynasty at that time; there was also the Jilin Yongheng Official Bank, which should be the same The treasury of the provincial government, the most famous of which is the "Official Bank of the Three Eastern Provinces". The "Official Bank of the Three Eastern Provinces" was established in the 31st year of Guangxu, that is, in 1905. It was the largest local bank in the three northeastern provinces at that time, controlled by Zhang Zuolin. economic backing. Seeing that Da Ya and I were listening seriously, Liu Ye paused, then shook his head lightly, and continued, "I've seen this history before, and it seems to say that on the second day of the September 18 Incident, The official bank of the three eastern provinces was occupied by the Japanese, and the Japanese made a fortune overnight. That night, all the cash in the official bank was transported away by car. According to later records, the official bank of the three eastern provinces was captured by the Japanese army. During the occupation, at least 660,000 catties of gold and 2 million silver dollars were looted by the Japanese army.” "What, tell me again, how much? 66... ​​ten thousand... Jin?" Da Ya opened his mouth wide, with a look of disbelief. Liu Ye nodded: "Yes, 660,000 catties. At that time, there were five above-ground and underground vaults in the official bank of the three eastern provinces, each with a size of more than 300 square meters. When the Japanese occupied the official bank in the three eastern provinces, Zhang Xueliang didn't have time to transport so many coins, and according to the financial resources of the Feng family at that time, this number is also possible." Da Ya and I were dumbfounded, how much is so much gold worth?Absolutely astronomical. Liu Ye sighed and told us that at that time, the Japanese transported part of the gold back to their home country first, and a large part of it was transferred to the vicinity of Changchun to prepare funds for the puppet Manchukuo. These things were only recorded in some historical materials. But there is no detailed report, but now it seems that this place should be the hidden gold vault. After I listened to it, I was shocked. I never imagined that the Japanese devils would steal so much money from the Northeast. No wonder after the end of World War II, Japan’s economy continued to grow rapidly in a short period of time. . Da Ya did not make a sound from the beginning to the end, and was still scratching his fingers and hair. I pushed him and pouted at him: "Da Ya, pull it down, don't forget it, you can't count it even if you add all your toes." How much." Liu Ye chuckled at the side, looked at Da Ya and said, "Not to mention anything else, 660,000 taels of gold is worth 7.4 billion yuan based on the current price." Big Tooth squeezed his eyes hard, looked at the willow leaves, swallowed his saliva, opened his broken gong and sang in an orderly voice: "I am angry, leaning on the railing, and the rain is resting. Look up, look up to the sky and scream, with a strong heart .Thirty years of fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of road, cloud and moon..." Listening to Da Ya's sloppy accent, Liu Ye and I couldn't help laughing. I understand in my heart that this is already history and cannot be changed. I can only accept it and have no other choice. Walking around this large warehouse inside and out, there is nothing but countless empty boxes. It is obvious that the gold and silver here have been moved away long ago. After opening another door, as expected, the inside was exactly the same as here, the valuables had been smashed away long ago, and there was nothing but empty boxes. Seeing this, we couldn't help being a little bit disappointed, and we worked hard for nothing, but in the end it was nothing to fetch water from the bamboo basket. We kept shaking our heads and sighing, seeing that there was nothing else here, we were about to evacuate first. At this moment, with a flash of the flashlight, I noticed that there was a patch of repaired traces on one of the cement walls. . Originally, this incident would have passed in the usual way, but when the traces of repair appeared here, I was shocked. It is impossible for this kind of treasury to have an accident of wall peeling off during construction. I've known it since I was little. Next to the train station in our hometown, on the left and on the right, are all houses built by the Japanese. Sixty or seventy years have passed, except for a few damaged tiles, there are no other problems, the house does not leak, and the door does not deform. , In this matter, I have to admit that others are stricter than our requirements. But there is such a large patch of traces that have been obviously repaired here. Could it be that they are consciously covering up something?
