How to deal with stolen jewels?
The Forbidden City covers an area of over 700,000 square meters. According to incomplete statistics at present, there are at least 70 wells in it, not including sealed and abandoned wells. These wells are mainly used for drinking and fire prevention, and as mentioned in the question, there are also many precious jewels in them. Why didn't eunuchs or maids in the Ming and Qing Dynasties salvage the treasures in the Forbidden City?

First of all, there is no chance. You know, it's impossible to draw water for dinner and fire fighting. Instead, specialized water fetching and fire fighting personnel went there in droves. At this time, if someone wants to fish out the treasure inside, they have to hide from others or bribe others to fight together.

This leads to the cost and danger of salvaging the treasure, because ordinary little eunuchs and maids are afraid to fight, and they don't know that there will be treasure in that well, and the eunuchs in charge dare not make fun of their lives. Even if the treasure is really salvaged, it should be handed over to the court.

Moreover, we know that there are many murders in the Forbidden City. Only in the Qing dynasty, there were murders such as Zhen Fei jumping into a well and five girls jumping into a well, especially Zhen Fei jumping into a well. According to legend, it has been haunted since Zhenfei died. To this end, Cixi also used many methods to ward off evil spirits, such as iron gates and town cards, and ordered no one to go near the well. If you can't even get close, what about salvage?

And this is only the Qing dynasty. After Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng invaded the Forbidden City. What do harem concubines and maids choose to do in order not to be insulted by thieves and soldiers? Answer: Dig a well.

According to the Ming History, on the day when the Forbidden City broke down, more than 200 concubines and maids jumped into the Yudai River to commit suicide, and many other maids jumped into wells to commit suicide. There is another story: A sixteen-year-old maid-in-waiting named Fei did not die after jumping into a well, but was salvaged by the invading army, so she lied that she was princess royal (the daughter of the emperor) and was betrothed to a general named Luo. In the middle of the night, Fei stabbed Luo to death and then committed suicide.

It can be said that every well in the Forbidden City in the late Ming Dynasty had at least one life on its back. China people, who value auspiciousness and are afraid of losing their lives, naturally will not salvage them. If they don't salvage the baby, they salvage a bone, which will not only make them feel unlucky, but also make them lose their arguments. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, many wells in the Forbidden City were polluted, so the Qing emperor specially arranged to take water from Xizhimen to Yuquan Mountain for drinking, and did not dare to dig wells directly.

In order to put out the fire, it is necessary to store several large cans of water for later use. Anyway, no one dares to use those well water in the Forbidden City. Therefore, although there are many treasures in the Palace Museum, no one plays with them. Those with low status are not qualified to fight, and those with high status disdain to fight. What's more, those treasures are probably drifting with the flow. If you want to fish, you don't fish in the well, but try your luck by the river.
