This case is far from being so simple and clear, otherwise it can't be called a "mystery case".
0 1, faw: the process of being discovered is very strange.
The so-called digging more than 20 boxes overnight is not accurate! I think it was an accidental discovery of poaching for two consecutive nights.
1934 Dragon Boat Festival, Wuchang, at night, the rainstorm stopped at the beginning. ...
Peng Younan, who is engaged in gold and silver jewelry business in Hankou (not a blacksmith, but a jeweler), returned to Wuchang for a holiday. In the evening, Peng Younan went out for a nap and found that the backyard garden of his neighbor Kong Geng's house was washed away by the rain, revealing some shiny things. Because he is a senior practitioner in the precious metal industry, Gu Younan is keenly aware that this is a deeply buried treasure, so he immediately contacted his younger brother who is still in Hankou to go home and dig up the treasure together.
The content after that was dug by thieves, and everyone liked it. At this time, the host Sun Genglian had a birthday and was having a big banquet in the front yard. He had no idea that his backyard was realizing the dream of two thieves getting rich.
Two days later, the two rich thieves wanted to transfer their wealth. Unfortunately, they were found by a duty officer of Wuhan Police Station at Hanyang Wharf. Upon inquiry, they said that the wealth was shipped from Liangdao Street, and the person on duty happened to be an old employee of Kong Geng, so they contacted Confucius. When Kong Geng learned about it, he immediately made inquiries and checked inside and outside the house. When he got to the backyard, he found that the backyard had been dug inappropriately, and the grass under the trees in the mud was still littered with debris that could not be picked up.
It is said that these silver dollars alone are packed in two baskets, which shows how valuable the stolen things are.
By the time Kong Geng angrily went to find the two thieves, the two thieves had bribed the police to send the gold and silver across the river and successfully transported them into the concession in Shanghai. The two brothers who arrived in the Concession paid huge bribes everywhere. From the inspector to the court, the judicial organs in Shanghai and Wuhan perfunctory Kong Geng's complaint and accountability, and escorted the two thieves.
The final result, of course, was that they landed on Hong Kong Island successfully with huge amounts of gold and silver, lived a rich life for six years and died under the shells.
Erqi: Whose gold jewels are these?
The original owner of this house was not Kong Geng, but Liu Weizhen. Because he participated in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he has a nickname Liu Changmao. According to the truth, this treasure belongs to the hairy Liu brothers!
Where did the hairy brothers get this huge wealth? Maybe the salary in Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is so high?
Let's take a look at Liu Weiting's personal growth history:
Liu Changmao joined the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the second year of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement (that is, 1852) and participated in the major battle of occupying Jiangning (now Nanjing) with Hong Xiuquan. 1989 worked in Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and was also a senior rebel.
186 1 year, when Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng entered Hubei on a large scale, Liu Changmao rebelled. He is really a scum. He forged a personal letter from King Chen Yucheng of England to cheat the trust of Huangzhou guarding city, and was tricked out of the city by the defenders. He was angry and desperate, so the former friendly forces of the two teams and their current sworn enemies fought fiercely in Santaihe.
In the end, the defenders in Huangzhou were defeated, the long river was covered with blood, and the floating bodies were covered with the beach, which was terrible. This also became Liu Changmao's first achievement after surrendering to the Qing army.
The most ridiculous thing is that Liu Changmao later built a bridge in Santaihe, which was called "Santaiyin Bridge". Let me guess, maybe he thought his life was wonderful from this bridge!
Oh, bah! Spicy chicken!
After winning the first victory, Liu Changmao became the main force of the Qing army attacking the Taiping Army. Liu Changmao was shocked when he opened the warehouse of King Chen Yucheng when he attacked the battle of De 'an Mansion. A box full of gold, silver and jewels was piled on the roof, and the chief officer of this battle was Liu Changmao himself.
So Liu Changmao hid most of these gold and silver jewels in the kiln. He used these treasures to bribe Cixi (yes, the old woman of the Great Qing Dynasty). Cixi was so poor that she gave Liu Changmao a charity plaque. Since then, he gave Zhang Zhidong two hundred and two thousand pieces of silver to support Zhang Zhidong's Hanyang Arsenal. For him, this is to spend a small amount of money to buy peace.
He really lived a safe and rich life. You said you were angry! He also carefully carved the location of the treasure on a stone tablet as a real treasure handed down from generation to generation in the family, and these gold and silver in Wuchang are one of Liu Changmao's caches.
At that time, when Kong Geng sued the Peng brothers, he showed this stone tablet. In fact, it is difficult to define the true and false, because stone tablets can of course be forged. As for whether this money belongs to Kong Geng or Liu Changmao, only Kong Geng knows it. Anyway, no matter who it belongs to, it is a legendary treasure.
03. Three Musts: Kong Geng and Ye Peng fought to the death while the thieves on Hong Kong Island were partying.
Who's Ye Peng? Ye Peng was the Wuhan police commander who paid huge bribes at that time. The Peng brothers absconded with money, and Kong Geng perfunctory. How can he not be angry?
So several times in public * * * accused Ye Peng of being bribed by thieves, while Ye Peng cursed Kong Geng for seniority. Don't say no, even if there is, is that your money? Shameless.
So the contradiction between the two escalated.
1935, Ye Peng conducted military exercises. In order to gain the support of the people, he creatively set a target based on Japanese people for soldiers to shoot. This incident was protested by the Japanese government, so Kong Geng reported to the National Government that Ye Peng was not kind enough to try to trigger a Sino-Japanese dispute, and Ye Peng was dismissed.
Ye Peng, who was dismissed from his post, went to the Blue Shirt Club, the predecessor of the military government. Gathering intelligence, personnel rebellion and assassinating opponents are all daily tasks, so Ye Peng decided to assassinate Kong Geng. Of course it didn't work, but even so, under this incident, two factions within the Kuomintang government, the Political Department of Kong Geng and the CC Department of Ye Peng (not Jelly) fought with each other, and finally Chen Lifu couldn't stand it.
The two brothers Peng Younan, who were tried as thieves in absentia, lived the life of a beautiful concubine in Hong Kong ... I don't understand. They are all big bosses. I wonder if they can solve the fundamental problem!
