Although the monk was wondering in his heart whether it was because the other party discovered that he was using gold for consumption, which caused the other party to target him, he could never admit it on the surface.
"What about buying wine and gold? Sir, have you picked the wrong person? I'm a monk and we can't drink, let alone buying wine with gold." Seeing the other party's stubborn resistance, Fang Lang smiled slightly. , stood up and looked around the room. The decoration of this room was very simple, with only a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe.
The things inside were all ordinary daily necessities, which was why the soldiers from the security company searched to no avail, because on the surface it seemed that there was nothing wrong with this room at all.
But Fang Lang's purpose of walking was not actually to find something, but to observe the changes in the monk's eyes and expressions with the corner of his eyes.
The space in the room was not large. Every time Fang Lang took a step, he would stop and touch the suspicious position with his hand. At the same time, he would look at the monk and ask: "Seeing how confident you are, if I hadn't seen you drinking with my own eyes, I almost believed it. The wine seller told me that you bought goods from him again yesterday, but now you can't see the wine in your room, so you hid the wine in a secret room, right?" The monk heard this. Fang Lang's words made his whole body tremble. He didn't expect that the other party had already found the boss who sold him wine. It seemed that the other party was well prepared!
I might be in big trouble this time. What's more important is that the other party actually guessed that the entrance to the secret room was in his room, and that his wine was hidden in the secret room and was also guessed by the other party, which showed that the other party was a very difficult guy. Fortunately, the entrance to the secret room was really secret, and he didn't believe that the other party could. It was easy to find, so he pretended to be calm and turned his head to the side and said: "I don't know what you are talking about." Fang Lang saw the other party's reaction and knew that the position he was standing now should be far away from the entrance of the secret room, so, no He smiled animatedly, slowly moved to the other direction and said: "It doesn't matter, you don't have to admit it now, but when our police dogs arrive, they can find the entrance to the secret room based on the smell of the wine. When I saw it, you still How can you deny it?" The monk suddenly panicked when he heard that the other party was planning to use a dog to search for the location of the wine. After all, wine has a distinct smell, and the dog would definitely be able to detect it, and everything would be hidden by then.
Thinking of this, he looked at the bed unconsciously. Although this gaze only stayed for a short moment, it was still easily caught by Fang Lang. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he quietly and slowly approached the bed, as if he was sitting casually on the bed made of wooden boards. , looking at each other with burning eyes.
When the monk saw that the other party actually sat on his bed, his heart tightened, and his buttocks sitting on the stool moved back unconsciously.
When Fang Lang saw the other party's reaction, he knew better. It seemed that the entrance was near the bed. But the monk was so nervous that he even forgot to answer Fang Lang's questions.
Fang Lang didn't care about this and continued to grope around the bed calmly. Because the bed is movable, the switch to the secret room cannot be on the bed, but on the wall or floor near the bed.
As the one who took the initiative, Fang Lang began to fumble around the bed unscrupulously under the gaze of the monk.
This action obviously startled the monk, but he did not dare to make a sound for fear of being discovered by Fang Lang, but the action of holding the armrests of the chair with both hands betrayed his nervousness.
Seeing this situation, Fang Lang smiled slightly and said to the soldiers of the guard company standing around: "It seems that we don't need the police dogs anymore. Move this bed away. I want to see how hidden the entrance to the secret room is." The soldiers of the guard company, who had long been unable to restrain themselves, agreed in unison: "Yes, boss!" Then they started to take action without any explanation. In fact, the entrance switch of this secret room was not hidden, but it happened to be manipulated by the bed. The beam is covered, so it's really difficult to find the switch without moving the bed.
With the actions of the soldiers from the guard company, the bed was moved from its original position. A small round hole the size of a fist was exposed on the right side of the bed near the wall on the longitudinal beam. A small iron ring as thick as a little finger was stuck in the hole.
Obviously this is the switch to the entrance to the secret room. The moment this position was revealed, the monk knew that he had no trump cards. He struggled and said loudly: "Sir, there is a mechanism inside. If you accidentally touch the mechanism, the seawater will flow directly into the secret room. Then the things in the secret room will be destroyed. If you believe me, I can lead you the way." After hearing this, Fang Lang turned to look at the monk who had a stubborn face before, and said with an unclear smile at the corner of his mouth: "Oh! Master, are you willing to cooperate now?"
"Cooperate, cooperate, cooperate now."
"But now that I have found the secret room, the master seems to have no use value. Don't you think it's too late to talk to me about cooperation now?"
"Sir, believe me, what I say is true. There is indeed a mechanism in the secret room. If you are not careful, the sea water will pour in, and the entire secret room will be submerged. By then, everything in it will be unable to be taken out. "Fang Lang smiled slightly when he heard this. He didn't expect that this guy actually knew this information. This incident was also reported in the news of later generations. At that time, the Indian government had to stop after clearing out the two secret rooms. Because they discovered that there was a mechanism in the secret room. If it was not handled properly, the seawater from the Indian Ocean would flow directly into the secret room and flood the entire secret room.
Finally, the inventory of the treasures in the secret room had to be postponed. Now that he heard this information from this monk, he was indeed a little surprised.
If this is the case, why did no one in later generations of India know that there was a secret chamber under this temple?
Could it be that the guy in front of me brought this secret into the soil? Thinking about it, it's really possible. After all, this guy is someone who secretly steals gold from a secret room to buy wine.
Maybe this secret room has always been a secret passed down from generation to generation in the temple.
"Oh! How do you know the location of this institution?" The monk seemed to have given up resistance at this moment, sighed softly, and said frankly: "My master told me that our temple has a heritage of nearly five hundred years. , each generation has a monk in charge of the secret of the secret room. And I am the only monk in this generation who knows the existence of the secret room." Fang Lang looked at the guy in front of him with interest, thinking that since there is a dedicated monk in charge of the secret room Why is this secret room so unknown in later generations?
It seems that this temple has also experienced some changes later! Maybe the accident will happen to the guy in front of me.
"Oh! Since it is a secret room, why do people need to know his existence?" The monk raised his head and glanced at Fang Lang, and said helplessly: "The secret rooms here are not entirely owned by the temple. There are four secret rooms in it. It contains the treasures of the Travancore royal family. Once the royal family needs it, people can bring the tokens and come to us in the temple to open the secret room. We are just the custodians of the treasures."
"Oh! It turns out that you are a custodian who has committed theft." Fang Lang teased in an angry tone.
The monk was furious when he heard this.
"I just took some of the offerings from the believers to improve my life. This is a reward from the gods." The other party's confident look made Fang Lang a little stunned. He didn't expect that there are such shameless people in the world, with such shameless skin. I want it thicker.
However, Fang Lang also had a thought at this moment. He looked at the monk with a smile and said, "I wonder what cooperation method the master wants?" The monk did not expect that Fang Lang was actually willing to discuss cooperation with him, and he was overjoyed for a moment. , and didn't think too much about whether there might be any traps in this. After all, the current situation was that he was for the fish and Fang Lang was for the sword, and he had no right to raise conditions at all.
Now his bottom line is actually just to save his life. He knows very well that these people in front of him are well-organized and they are not bad at first glance. Once they obtain the treasure, they will kill him as soon as possible. He is now I don’t want to die.
"I know you have been planning for a long time. After taking the treasure, you will definitely kill us. I don't want the wealth, I just ask you to spare my life. Even if one day someone discovers the secret of the secret room, the police will definitely be the first to do so. Go hunt down the escaped me. This can also help you distract the attention of the police, what do you think?" Fang Lang burst out laughing when he heard this. He always thought that this monk was a greedy guy, and when he proposed cooperation, he probably wanted to get out of the secret room. Get a share of the treasure.
After preparing to take away the treasure, he will directly silence the other party. But I didn't expect that the other party's request was not to share the spoils, but to see that he was planning to silence himself and wanted to ask for a chance to survive.
He even thought of taking the blame, which made Fang Lang look at this guy with admiration.
"Taking you away and then silencing you will make you the number one suspect in this matter! Why should I keep you alive?" Fang Lang's words made the monk, who was already highly nervous, tighten his anus and look in his eyes. There was a flash of panic, and his mind began to spin rapidly, continuing to look for opportunities to survive.
"My active cooperation can greatly save your excavation time. Believe me, I will not be an obstacle to you. I don't want money, as long as you can spare my life, I will leave India by boat overnight, ensuring that no one will be able to find you again." Me. Moreover, I don’t know your identities. Even if they find me, they won’t be able to find you.” Looking at the anxious look of the monks in front of me, there is no trace of the tough-talking toughness at the beginning. After this attitude change, So fast, Fang Lang couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
In fact, Fang Lang really didn't care about the life or death of the guy in front of him, because they had already made a plan, and someone would naturally take the blame for their actions.
But I have to say that if the other party really knows the mechanisms inside, it will indeed bring great convenience to their actions. After thinking of this, Fang Lang shrugged indifferently and said: "I don't care whether you live or die. , if you are willing to cooperate with our actions, I can consider sparing your life." The monk was overjoyed when he heard this. Regardless of whether what Fang Lang said was true or false, he at least saw hope of survival now, just like a person who fell into the water caught the last A life-saving straw, he said directly without hesitation: "No problem, I am willing to cooperate, please let me go, I will take you down now, please let them obey my command and not mess with some things inside. "At this moment, the soldiers of the guard company in the room had already pulled out the iron ring on the wall next to the bed, and a deep hole was revealed at the corner of the wall next to the bed.
I have to say that this secret room was indeed built secretly. Someone had carefully searched this location before and found nothing unusual. If the secret room door hadn't been opened in front of everyone, they really couldn't believe that behind this wall was the entrance to the secret room.
Without Fang Lang's order, the guards did not enter directly. Instead, they took out their guns and flashlights and pointed them at the entrance of the dark secret room, with a wary look on their faces, obviously to guard against unknown dangers inside.
Fang Lang winked at Qi Qingshan beside him, signaling him to untie the monk and let him take the lead.
"I give you a chance to live, and I hope you will cherish it. If you make any unwise move, my people will kill you immediately, and will also send your son, who is less than four years old, to stay with you. Do you understand what I mean?" The monk was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Fang Lang beside him in disbelief. He did not expect that he had already found out everything about his son. This was an absolute secret, except for her and the child. No one except his mother knew it was his child.
At this moment, there is no trace of resistance in his heart. He just wants to solve the problem here quickly so that he can escape far away. As for the life of his children, he is not worried at all, because he has already given it to them. He left behind enough wealth to live on.
"I understand, I understand! Don't worry, I will never dare to cause trouble. This is a job, and I can't risk my life and that of my family in it." Seeing the flattering look on the other party's face, Fang Lang calmly told Qi Qingshan With a wink, Qi Qingshan signaled the other party to keep an eye on this guy, Qi Qingshan nodded slightly and stood behind the monk.
In fact, Fang Lang was not afraid of the other party's tricks. Regardless of whether this guy was so courageous, even if the other party turned on the machine and introduced seawater into the secret room, his strictly trained naval warriors would not be easily drowned.
It's better to put the waste to use and put him at the front to prevent other unpredictable dangers in the secret room.
The worst case scenario would be to use the diving suits they had prepared long ago to go underwater and salvage. He was prepared from the beginning for the secret room to be flooded by sea water.
After all, there is obviously a certain degree of danger in the secret room that future Indian governments would not dare to open easily. It is always a good idea to bring a diving suit to be prepared.
As for whether the seawater can take away the treasure inside after entering the secret room, Fang Lang is not worried. They can sneak directly into the secret room from the water inlet on the seaside and transport the treasure directly. This will be more hidden, but it will take more time. Just long.
After getting Fang Lang's permission, the monk picked up a torch on the wall and lit it. Without hesitation, he strode deeper into the secret room and lit a torch hanging on the wall within two steps.
Soon, everyone followed him to the door of the first secret room. Through the dim light and the light of the soldiers' flashlights, it was clear that the door of the secret room was a room without a keyhole. Obviously, the opening and closing of this door was also controlled by a mechanism.
