As Matthew led the team into the secret passage again, the things that had been hidden in the secret passage for more than two hundred years were brought to the surface one by one.
As Xiao Ran had guessed, what was packed in those crates were all Charvet 1777 flintlock rifles wrapped in oilcloth, as well as several barrels of matching gunpowder.
The items contained in those treasure boxes are the batch of Jacobin francs that mysteriously disappeared in history.
These Jacobin francs came in various denominations.
A small part were gold francs, but more were silver francs with lower face values, and there were even many banknotes that had long since decayed.
After opening several boxes one after another, all he saw were these things, and Xiao Ran quickly lost interest.
In fact, he had known about the situation in this underground secret passage for a long time, and he didn't care about this treasure at all.
The reason why I came here today, to accompany Henry and the others to dig this secret underground passage, was just for acting.
Now that the play is almost over, he is ready to withdraw.
I plan to leave this place to my employees to handle it, just in time to train Matthew and the others.
After checking another box of Jacobin francs, Xiao Ran suddenly turned to look at Henry and the others, and said with a smile:
"Gentlemen, the situation of this underground secret passage seems to be like this. It is estimated that it will be difficult to find any bigger surprises."
"In this case, there is no need for me to stay here any longer. I plan to leave the subsequent exploration and cleanup work to my employees."
"I plan to return to the hotel to prepare for the next transaction. I also need to communicate with the United States to ensure that the transaction can proceed smoothly."
"As for you, it's up to you to decide whether you want to stay here and watch the follow-up exploration and cleanup operations, or leave here."
Henry and the others were somewhat stunned when they heard that he was leaving now.
But they also understood what was going on.
Obviously, Xiao Ran didn't like today's discovery at all and was too lazy to waste time here.
Thinking about this, Henry and the others felt a little unhappy and depressed.
But they could do nothing but nod in agreement.
"Okay, Sean, since you are ready to leave here and leave the subsequent exploration and cleanup operations completely to your subordinates, of course there is no problem."
"But we will continue to stay here and focus on the follow-up exploration operations. We are also looking forward to making new discoveries in the next operations."
Not only Henry and Cornell, but Carlin also had the same attitude.
After finally catching a part of the treasure, he certainly didn't want to leave midway, and also wanted to experience the fun of exploring and discovering the treasure.
Xiao Ran looked at these French guys and then nodded.
"Okay, gentlemen, it's better for you to stay here. Just keep in touch on the phone. I will also watch the video sent back from here at any time."
"If there is a new discovery, that would be great. If it is an astonishing discovery, I will rush back here immediately. It is very close anyway."
After chatting with a few French guys, Xiao Ran began to arrange the work.
He called Matthew and the security chief over, gave them a few instructions in a low voice, and left all subsequent exploration operations and security work to them.
Then he called Mike and a senior French lawyer to his side and told them to stay here to supervise and avoid legal disputes.
Then he ordered Fang Yufei to take two employees to set up a simple monitoring system with full coverage and no blind spots.
It is said to be a simple surveillance system, but it is actually just a few high-definition surveillance cameras.
In this way, even if he returns to the hotel, he can see what's going on here whenever he wants.
Moreover, Matthew and the others all wear miniature cameras, and he can see the live exploration and cleanup operations in the underground secret passages at any time.
Even identification work can be completed through high-definition cameras.
Seeing that his layout was so thorough and almost impeccable, Henry and the others felt itchy at the base of their teeth.
After a while, Xiao Ran had completed the arrangement.
After Fang Yufei and others arranged the monitoring equipment, he said goodbye to Henry and the others and left the garden with Elaine and the others.
When they came out of the apartment building, many media reporters had gathered on the street outside, as well as many passers-by watching the excitement.
Seeing Xiao Ran bringing people out, many media reporters immediately raised their voices and started asking questions loudly.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Sean, I am a reporter from "Le Figaro" and I am very happy to interview you."
"Excuse me, what else did you find in this apartment building? Can you tell us about the situation?"
Immediately afterwards, a beautiful reporter asked loudly:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Sean, I am a reporter from France Television Station"
"According to the news I received, you discovered another treasure in the garden of this apartment building. Can you tell us about this treasure?"
Not to be outdone, the rest of the media reporters asked questions loudly.
Many passers-by who were watching the excitement at the scene heard that Xiao Ran and the others had found another treasure, and they suddenly felt jealous and jealous.
But it's different from yesterday.
No one at the scene shouted anymore, saying that since the treasure was hidden in this neighborhood, everyone living here should have a share.
After what happened yesterday, everyone can see it very clearly.
No one can take advantage of Xiao Ran unless they are fooled by lard.
If you don't get it right, your life may be at risk.
It was precisely because of fear that the guys watching the scene became so honest.
After hearing the questions from many media reporters, Xiao Ran immediately stopped.
He glanced at the many media reporters and onlookers at the scene, then smiled and said loudly:
"Good afternoon, fellow journalists, ladies and gentlemen, everyone's news is very accurate. We have found another treasure in this apartment building."
"This should be considered part of Robespierre's treasure. It's just that I didn't have time to explore it last time, so I came to explore it again today."
"But this treasure is a bit disappointing. There are only some antique flintlock muskets from the 18th century and some francs minted at that time."
"Besides these things, there are no other surprising discoveries. Although these things can be regarded as antiques, their value is relatively average."
"Because of this, I left early and left it to my employees and the guys from the Louvre and Sorbonne University to explore and clean up..."
It is basically impossible for the media reporters and the guys watching the excitement to know the value of the Jacobin franc.
That's why Xiao Ran told them the general truth to dispel some people's delusions.
It turned out to be just as he expected.
After listening to his introduction, there was a sigh of disappointment in the crowd.
Needless to say, everyone was a little disappointed with the condition of this treasure.
Xiao Ran smiled, and then got into the car with Elaine and the others.
After everyone else got on the bus, the motorcade immediately started to leave and headed towards the hotel.
Also leaving with the convoy were the two US armored personnel carriers.
Not long after the motorcade drove out, Xiao Ran's cell phone suddenly rang.
The call was from that guy Joshua.
Xiao Ran glanced at Laixian and picked up the phone.
The next moment, Joshua's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Good afternoon, Sean, I heard that you have made an appointment with the French for a trading time, is that true?"
"Good afternoon, Joshua, you're a very well-informed guy, indeed."
Xiao Ran responded with a smile.
"The news was told to me by Antoine of the Arnault family. The playboy discussed it with me."
"Prepare to cooperate with our family and join hands to eat the antique artworks and gold and silver treasures you are planning to auction publicly."
"Antoine also invited me to watch the premiere of this year's Crazy Horse Show. Are you interested in the Crazy Horse Show? We can go together."
Xiao Ran shook his head without thinking.
"I am more interested in the joint action of your two families to acquire the antiques, artworks and gold and silver treasures that I plan to auction at the public auction. We can find time to talk."
"As for the Crazy Horse show, forget it. I'm not interested in this kind of pornographic show at all. It's even more impossible for me to take my girlfriend to watch a pornographic show."
Hearing this, Joshua immediately smiled.
"It seems like you are quite traditional. I'm actually not very interested in this kind of performance. Isn't it just a striptease?"
"Could it be that if we change the occasion to a more advanced one and replace the dancing woman with a female star, then this thing wouldn't be a striptease?"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh.
"The Arnault family is engaged in the fashion industry, so perhaps their brain circuits are quite strange."
"Pornography in the eyes of ordinary people may be fashion in their eyes!"
