Chapter 274: Temple officials seek power, gangsters seek to save the people
Looking at Tian'er's innocent look, Chu Liuxiang and the other two had to smile helplessly and shake their heads.
Then, the knowledgeable Li Hongxiu introduced Genghis Khan to Tian'er.
"Tian'er, this Genghis Khan is a very powerful ruler. He once led the Mongolian soldiers to conquer many countries and regions, plundered a lot of gold, silver, treasures and martial arts secrets. It is reported that after his death, he even brought a large amount of treasures he had plundered during his lifetime into his tomb to bury him."
"Ah! Wouldn't that mean that what we are going to look for next is his grave? That's not very scary!"
Tian'er's expression changed when she heard this and she quickly exclaimed. What she feared most in her life was the dead bodies, let alone letting her go to rob the tomb.
At the same time, she lowered her eyebrows and looked at everyone, and asked timidly:
"And, wouldn't it be a bit unpleasant to do this with things from someone's grave?"
Tian'er's timid look made everyone laugh, Chu Liuxiang and others smiled clearly, and Li Hongxiu even laughed:
"Silly girl, he is dead. What are you afraid of him? Moreover, the treasures in his tomb were plundered from the common people. We took them not to take them for ourselves, but to return them to the people."
Li Hongxiu smiled and scolded, looking at Tian'er's timid appearance, she smiled bitterly and shook her head with a little anger. She paused and continued:
"This year, Shandong and Shanxi have been severely drought one after another. So many people have been displaced, and they can only use tree roots, soil and grass to fill their hunger. And the so-called imperial officials all know how to fight for power and do not care about their lives or death. Even the more unscrupulous ones have to deduct food and grass for disaster relief. I don't know how many people will starve to death if they do this."
While explaining, Li Hongxiu shook his head helplessly. They passed by Shandong and had witnessed the tragic situation there with their own eyes.
Chu Liuxiang and others also looked dark when they heard this, as if they were recalling the tragic scenes that they had seen when they passed by the Shandong coast.
They still remember clearly:
Hundreds of refugees were like locusts and had no food to satisfy their hunger, and could only tear and gnaw the trunks that were almost chewed away by them; countless people beat and fight each other to grab a fish they had just caught; and many ragged refugees sat on the ground, their unscrupulous eyes were like dead people; and even more so... Alas! Those scenes were simply shocking.
Even they wanted to give relief to the excess food on the ship, but they were almost robbed. If they hadn't been for their high-quality martial arts, they would have been unable to protect themselves.
It was not until that moment that they knew how ugly and terrible people would become to survive when they were out of ammunition and food.
Looking at the refugees who looked at their eyes shining like hungry wolves on the shore, they were both heartbroken and sad.
They did not resent the refugees because they knew that those people were just trying to survive, but unfortunately, they could not save so many people with their financial resources.
They still remember the hopeful gaze of the older children, which was like a sharp knife, and it was deeply pierced in their hearts.
As she recalled those tragic scenes, the atmosphere on the deck suddenly became a little low, but soon, Li Hongxiu noticed this. She let out a long sigh and said with a smile:
"But now, as long as we have this money, we can buy food from Huguang and other places and transport it to these places. Everything will be fine by then. Using these dead people's money to do good things is finally much better than if we can't do anything." Li Hongxiu said casually.
"Although I don't like to rob the tomb, there is nothing I can do about it. Besides, we just take out the money in his grave that does not belong to him, and don't move his coffin. What's wrong with this? He killed so many people during his lifetime, and used the money to do some good deeds after his death, which can be regarded as paying for his debts and accumulating some good deeds. Maybe he still wants to thank us below?"
Li Hongxiu said with a chuckle. Her words were both enlightened by Tian'er and also for her and others. After all, even though the three of them had already discussed it, they were inevitably a little resistant. It was the first time she wanted to do such a thing.
Chu Liuxiang and Su Rongrong, who were beside him, also heard it, and they looked at each other and smiled.
To be honest, if they hadn't seen the tragic experience of those refugees, they wouldn't take this treasure too seriously. After all, thieves are their own business, tomb robbers are not, and their Nissan expenses are not short of money. They have their own property.
But unfortunately, their family background alone is far from enough to help the thousands of refugees, so they can only grab the tour first and play the role of the gold-touching captain.
What Li Hongxiu said about Tian'er was so ashamed, but there was still a look of entanglement on her face, and she was obviously still a little scared. Su Rongrong, who was beside her, said at the right time to comfort her:
"Don't worry, Tian'er, anyway, the treasure hunt will be done by the three of us. You just need to be responsible for keeping the house."
"Really!" Tian'er couldn't help but exclaimed happily when she heard this.
Seeing this, Su Rongrong and Li Hongxiu both smiled and nodded, but at this moment, Chu Liuxiang spoke with a smile on her face and said in the opposite direction:
"It's wrong! It's not three people, but four people."
"Ah, Brother Chu~" Tian'er looked at Chu Liuxiang with some depression. Her begging tone was really unbearable to refuse.
The other two women also looked at Chu Liuxiang curiously.
When Chu Liuxiang saw the puzzled eyes of the girls, she couldn't help but smile and explained:
"You have forgotten that dead rooster. If we work so hard to find this white jade Guanyin, how can we do it without putting some effort at that time?"
Su Rongrong and Li Hongxiu both smiled suddenly when they heard this, while Song Tianer turned her head and thought for a while, then she suddenly realized:
"Oh, Brother Chu, you are talking about Brother Ji Bingyan and Ji!"
"That's right, it's him. The news was provided by him, so he naturally had to put in some effort." Chu Liuxiang nodded with a smile.
Ji Bingyan, one of Chu Liuxiang's close friends, and is also a famous Lanzhou rich man. Only Chu Liuxiang has the ability to convert that large amount of treasure into edible food in a short period of time. Otherwise, Chu Liuxiang and the others would find Genghis Khan's treasure, and it would be difficult to buy enough food, because many people are now storing grain at high prices.
Chu Liuxiang and others can be said to have planned everything long ago, but unfortunately, there is always no shortage of surprises in the world.
"But I think we have to set off as soon as possible. I think there should be other people besides us who know the secret of this White Jade Guanyin."
Chu Liuxiang's tone suddenly became a little solemn.
"Hmm?" Li Hongxiu and Su Rongrong both looked at Chu Liuxiang curiously.
