As several employees reported, there was a commotion in the underground palace and everywhere on the ground.
Although this was expected, people were still amazed by this series of discoveries.
The next moment, Henry suddenly said:
"It's right to find these boxes engraved with the royal emblems of various countries in Napoleon's treasure. The things in these boxes are obviously the spoils of Napoleon's wars."
"For example, those boxes belonging to the Romanov dynasty of the Russian Empire are most likely the trophies that Napoleon took away from the Imperial Palace of the Russian Empire after he conquered Moscow."
"After Napoleon withdrew from Russia, he hid these things. These things from the Russian Imperial Palace have never been seen again. They were originally hidden here."
Hearing this, several French archaeologists and historians on the scene nodded their heads, and their eyes shone with excitement.
Xiao Ran just smiled, and then led these guys towards the boxes.
at the same time.
In the Russian Embassy in France, in the Kremlin in Moscow, and in countless places in Russia, there was an angry curse.
"These damn French guys are really good at whitewashing. These treasures from the Russian Imperial Palace were all stolen by Napoleon from Moscow."
"That was naked robbery, not a trophy. War never happened in the palace of the Russian Empire."
"Another point is that Napoleon was defeated by us and fled, not retreated. When he left Moscow, Napoleon still had 100,000 troops. When he returned to Paris, he only had 20,000 troops left."
After some condemnation, the Russians immediately took action.
They publicly issued a request for the return of all antique artworks and gold and silver treasures that had been stolen by Napoleon and originally belonged to the Russian Romanov dynasty.
Following closely, Austria, Germany, Spain and other countries also took the same move.
In the underground palace.
Xiao Ran and the others had arrived in front of those boxes and looked at the various badges engraved on those boxes.
In fact, these boxes are not only engraved with various badges, but also engraved with some patterns and written with some words.
Due to the age, many words have been blurred.
Coupled with the oxidation reaction that occurred during the rapid replacement of air, these words written more than 200 years ago are even more difficult to read.
This is something that will inevitably happen, but fortunately the loss is not very big.
Of course, if what is hidden here is a large number of top-notch Chinese antiques, that would be another matter.
In that case, Xiao Ran would definitely be extremely cautious and use an archaeological research attitude to explore this treasure.
Precisely because the things hidden here were Western antiques, artworks and gold and silver treasures, he was too lazy to spend too much energy protecting these things. Getting rich was the first priority.
Xiao Ran checked the status of these boxes, then nodded with a smile and said:
"That's right, these boxes are all trophies from Napoleon's campaign in Europe. They come from the royal families of various European countries at that time."
"It's a pity that the words on these boxes are blurred. There is no way to know what these words say. Maybe they record what is contained in the boxes."
"Fortunately, we can tell from these badges where these boxes come from, and there are no traps on these boxes. You can open them and check them with confidence."
Hearing this, Pierre and Henry nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Cornell said expectantly:
"Sean, why don't we open a few boxes here and see what's in them?"
"After the inspection is completed, we will move these boxes to the ground, and then open them one by one, clean and inspect them carefully."
Before he finished speaking, several other guys nodded in agreement.
Obviously, they couldn't wait to get back to the ground to check the contents of these boxes.
Xiao Ran looked at them and then glanced at the boxes engraved with various badges.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said:
"Okay, gentlemen, to satisfy everyone's curiosity, let's open a few boxes here and take a look at the contents of these boxes."
"I just took a look. There are many boxes here belonging to the Russian Romanov family, the Austrian Habsburg dynasty, the Polish royal family, and the Napoleon family."
"Let's pick one box each and open it to check the situation. We'll talk about the other boxes after they are moved to the ground. We have plenty of time, so don't worry."
"Okay, Sean, that's a good arrangement."
Pierre nodded and said, and the others nodded.
Next, Xiao Ran ordered a few boxes and asked his employees to move them out, preparing to do it himself.
In a moment, the four boxes he picked out had been moved to the open space next to them.
These boxes vary in size, but they are all quite heavy and usually require two people to lift them.
You can also hear their weight from the muffled sound they make when they hit the ground.
As these boxes were moved out, everyone's attention was drawn to them.
Xiao Ran stood in front of these boxes and pretended to check them carefully.
After a while, he casually asked for a hydraulic clamp from his employee and was ready to take action.
"There should be no traps in these boxes. You can safely open them and check them. However, everyone should still be careful, just in case."
As he spoke, he used hydraulic pliers to cleanly cut off the lock on a box.
The coat of arms engraved on the box is that of the Russian Romanov dynasty, apparently from Moscow.
As for the lock that locked the box, it was already rusty and completely worn out.
Seeing his actions, Pierre and Henry both felt their hearts tighten.
They raised their hands in unison, wanting to give a reminder.
As a result, before they could speak, Xiao Ran had already cut off the lock.
In desperation, they could only shut up and take a few steps back.
The next moment, Xiao Ran placed the hydraulic clamp on the box next to him and looked at the box with the emblem of the Romanov dynasty engraved on it.
After making sure it was safe, he took off the cut lock and slowly opened the box.
Nothing happened in the box, no traps were triggered, everything was business as usual.
As the box was opened, a bright golden light flashed across the scene.
Everyone standing close to him closed his eyes due to the golden light, and countless viewers on the live broadcast had the same reaction.
When everyone opens their eyes again, they will see it immediately.
This box, engraved with exquisite patterns and patterns, is filled with all kinds of exquisite and dazzling gold and silverware.
These include gold candlesticks, gold wine glasses, gold crosses, gold wine sets, gold jewelry boxes embedded with various gemstones, colorful gold Easter eggs, etc.
Looking at these dazzling gold products, everyone was stunned and their eyes were reflected in gold.
The next moment, Henry was the first to exclaim.
"Oh my God! There are so many gold products in this box, and each one is so exquisite. It's so shocking!"
Immediately afterwards, Cornell also exclaimed excitedly.
"Judging from the manufacturing process and style of these gold products, they are obviously from Russia, and they should be the treasures that Napoleon stole from Moscow."
In excitement, the guy suddenly lost his temper and directly called Napoleon a robber.
Xiao Ran chuckled softly, then reached out and picked up a gold Easter egg inlaid with a large number of red and sapphires from the box, and began to admire it.
"Yes, these are indeed the gold and silver treasures that Napoleon stole from Moscow, with the emblem of the Romanov dynasty engraved on them."
“Only the royal family of the Russian Empire has such a preference for Easter eggs, and has spared no effort in producing countless exquisite eggs.”
As he spoke, he showed the gold and gem Easter egg on the live camera.
The Romanov dynasty emblem engraved on this gold and gemstone egg is clearly presented to everyone.
