Bai Lu fixed the camera, swam to Lin Yi, and showed him the content on the monitor in her hand.
Lin Yi looked at it carefully, gave her a thumbs up, and then immediately approached the side of the boat. After cleaning up the mud and dirt around it, the words engraved on it were revealed.
It can be seen that the handwriting is very sloppy and the carving is very hasty.
The general idea is that in July of the third year of Dashun, when Zhang Xianzhong was about to abandon Rongcheng and wanted to use the waterway to go north, he was attacked from three sides by the Qing army, Wu Sangui army and local landlord armed forces.
At the mouth of the Pengshan River, the Daxi regime left a death squad to cover Zhang Xianzhong and his main force in breaking out of the encirclement.
The general who enjoyed being buried in a boat coffin was named Fan Sheng'er, who came from the command of "General Anxi" Li Dingguo, one of Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons.
Judging from the situation, the little leader named Fan Sheng'er should have died in the battle at the mouth of the river. His subordinates buried the body in a canoe on the ship, and then carried out a simple water burial.
It can be inferred from this that the location of the original burial should be similar to the location of "Jiangkou Chenyin".
Due to the terrain, river channels, flow and other reasons, the boat coffin was rolled here.
If you look at it this way, Erwazi was able to find the "Xiwang Reward Money" here just because of bad luck. The blind cat has stumbled into a dead rat.
The group of them spent almost a day and night at Jiangkou, but basically didn't get anything valuable.
Could it be that this "Xi Wang reward money" really became bait, and was the "six figures" he promised Erwazi yesterday really going to waste as Wang Qiang said?
Lin Yi was still unwilling to give in. He picked up the engineering shovel and dug around in the side of the boat several times, but still found nothing.
Bai Lu gestured to him, indicating that they could go up.
Several people on the boat were still anxiously waiting for the situation under the water.
Erwazi was the first to show up. He grabbed the side of the boat with both hands and pushed himself up.
Lin Yi dragged Bai Lu and the two of them onto the boat one after another.
"How's it going, Lao Lin? Did you gain anything?"
Wang Qiang asked anxiously.
Lin Yi shook his head while taking off his equipment.
"Forget it, there is only an empty ship coffin underneath. The archaeological value is not low. For us, that thing is of no use."
When Wang Qiang heard this, he spread his hands.
"Look, what did I say? What did I say? I was right when I said that this kid is a monkey, right?"
Chen Erwa remained silent, just weighed the anchor and pushed the boat back to the dock. She did not have any further communication with them during the whole process.
Wang Qiang kept talking in the cabin.
At the dock, Lin Yi told Qian Sheng that he would go back and transfer the money to Chen Erwa in full later, and the money would be deducted from his personal account.
Just as Wang Qiang was about to speak, Lin Yi pulled him aside and stuffed a cigarette into his mouth.
The group of people drove back to the hotel parking lot, and Fifth Brother also changed cars and returned to his residence.
According to the original plan, they would first observe the movements of the Southern faction tomorrow and then decide whether to leave here or continue to look for clues.
"I'm not telling you, giving him 10,000 yuan is a huge deal. It's a good thing for you. You didn't get anything, but you gave away 100,000 yuan. Back then, our buddy might not have been able to earn 100,000 yuan a year."
Lin Yi didn't answer.
Just now when he was underwater, he felt something was wrong.
I was thinking about a question along the way.
Why did the "Western King reward money" appear in Fan Shenger's ship coffin?
This kind of coins, gold coins are the rarest, were basically rewarded by Zhang Xianzhong to his close ministers who had military merits, such as his four godsons, who later each became kings.
Silver coins must be something that can be obtained at least at the commander level. According to Fan Sheng'er's current military rank, he is also a platoon leader.
According to the internal text introduction of the boat gang, he is completely unable to earn a silver "Western King Reward Coin".
"What am I talking about? That silver coin was just a bait. I didn't expect that our counselor Lin might have misjudged the situation and was taught a lesson. Tsk tsk. The tuition fee of 100,000 yuan is really not cheap."
Bai Lu, wearing a bathrobe, appeared at the door of their room. While stroking her hair, she didn't forget to tease Lin Yi.
They are now living together like a family, teasing and teasing each other, no one will take it to heart.
"Alas, I can only say that my student is not good at learning and I have misjudged the subject. I am sorry for teaching you, sir."
Lin Yi touched the back of his head and sighed to himself.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated and he received a message.
It was sent by Chen Erwa.
There are no unnecessary words, just two words: "Go downstairs."
"Erwazi sent me a message and asked me to come downstairs."
"Then go quickly. Maybe your conscience found out and felt bad about charging us 100,000 yuan, so she came to us to refund the money."
Wang Qiang, who had climbed onto the bed, jumped up, walked barefoot to the window and looked down.
"Hey, it's really that kid. He didn't trick you this time. Go down quickly and see what's going on."
Lin Yi put on a coat, fastened the "Slaying Sword" to his waist, pulled up a pair of slippers, and arrived at the door of the hotel.
Chen Erwa was riding on a battery car and pointed to the back seat.
"Walk!"
"Go? Where?"
"I'll take you to the point where I dug up the silver dollar."
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment.
"Then that place you took us to tonight"
Halfway through the words, Lin Yi suddenly woke up.
"Because Fifth Brother is here, you deliberately lead us in circles, right?"
Chen Erwa said nothing, basically acquiescing.
He also made a living on the river, and accumulated a lot of life experience at a young age.
The locals who can make the ship boss nod and bow can basically guess the answer nine times out of ten.
With such a person following him, he had to be on guard.
If he and Lin Yi and the others found the treasure this time, after Lin Yi and the others left, someone might put a bludgeon on the back of his head and ask him to lead the way to find the treasure.
"I'm not as good at water as you. I have to go back and get some equipment. By the way, I'll call my brothers."
"There is no need to go into the water at all. The labor and management will only take you to a certain spot, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with the labor and management."
Chen Erwa turned the key of the electric car and turned on the headlights. Lin Yi looked back upstairs and gestured to the three people at the window.
The entourage climbed onto Chen Erwa's electric car, and the two disappeared into the night.
"What's going on with Lao Lin? Has he been abducted by this kid? Third brother, where are the car keys? Give them to me quickly. I'll go take a look!"
Wang Qiang got dressed in a hurry, picked up his backpack and rushed downstairs.
Was persuaded by Qian Sheng
"We have to hold on tight. If we need to be involved in this matter, isn't it just a matter of talking about it? Since he didn't say anything, it means he doesn't need our help.
Besides, can the eldest brother still suffer a loss? Let's just wait for news from him. "
"Maybe, he is going after that wasted one hundred thousand yuan."
Bai Lu said to Wang Qiang with a smile.
Seeing that the two people around him were calm and composed, and even Wukong was sitting on the back of the sofa and eating grapes, Wang Qiang did not continue to pursue him.
