My Italy

Chapter 66 Temple Treasure (Part 2)

The moonlight tonight is very hazy, making people feel a dark and gloomy atmosphere. Coupled with the cry of the night owl, it makes people even more frightened at night. But outside the temple, a group of people were plotting.

There were many people standing around them holding weapons and watching their surroundings vigilantly. In addition, there were more than twenty carriages covered with canvas. The transport vehicle disguised as a caravan arrived in the evening and was arranged here by McClun himself. The nearly forty people they brought naturally also gathered together.

"Dole, take your men and subdue the guards in the temple. Don't use guns. Just take them down one by one quietly. I don't want to see any unexpected situations. After taking control of the temple, Bill is optimistic about the signal. As soon as there is a signal, he will immediately drive the carriage Come here."

It was McClun who was speaking, and he was assigning tasks to people one by one.

The people responsible for subduing the temple, the people responsible for the response, and the people responsible for finding the treasures. The more than 70 people of Ling Ling Zongzong were clearly arranged by him, and Cosentz also sat next to him and listened carefully. Although he was still There was no arrangement for him.

Without keeping him waiting long, after arranging the others, McClun spoke to Cosentz on the side. "Now you take the people who can explode and follow me. As for the others, let's be on guard."

As McClun finished assigning tasks, the people who had received the tasks immediately made preparations.

Hooks, crossbows, buckles, cables, etc. were all hung on his body. After seeing that they were all ready, McClun waved his hand. "Set off."

So a large number of people disappeared into the night.

"Cuckoo."

The Padmanabhaswamy Temple was unusually quiet at night. Except for the guarding monks, everyone was resting.

A visiting Hindu monk walks through the temple holding a lamp.

Suddenly a pair of hands stretched out from the darkness and grabbed his neck. With a click, the monk fell softly. The lamp and wooden stick in his hand also fell to the ground.

After the monk fell, several masked men wearing night clothes moved his body away, including the fallen lamps and wooden sticks. Everything fell into terrifying silence again.

Scenes like this happened all over the temple, and both monks and temple prostitutes were killed one after another. The attackers were cruel and clever, and many people passed away without knowing why.

Of course, it is unrealistic to just kill everyone silently, so after a monk who woke up at night discovered the intruder and shouted loudly, everyone in the temple was awakened. Since they were alerted, then Don't worry about the means.

So when the monks armed with various cold weapons appeared in front of them, the attackers had already changed into firearms. After a burst of gunfire, the temple fell into silence again, with only gunshots and screams coming out from time to time.

Fortunately, the temple was quite far away from the surrounding villages, so no one noticed the gunfire. However, the smell of blood could no longer be concealed.

"Okay, it's time for us to go in."

Seeing the signal given in the temple, McClun immediately took Cosentz and others directly into the temple.

Duole, who was responsible for cleaning the temple, came over and reported with a bloody aura.

"A total of 37 people were dealt with."

"I know, please be vigilant to prevent any fish from slipping through the net."

After giving orders to his men, McClun spoke to Ethel beside him. "Take us to the two empty secret rooms you found. Others will open the other four secret rooms and move away all the valuables. Call the transportation team to come over."

"Okay, Captain."

So under the leadership of Ethel, McClun and his team quickly arrived at one of the empty secret rooms.

This time, everyone illuminated the secret room brightly.

"Everyone, look for it and see if there is any difference."

After watching it, McClung immediately ordered others to look for anything unusual in the secret room.

"Captain, something is different here."

It's good to have more people, and soon some people discovered the difference in the secret room.

McClun rushed over immediately. As expected, there were differences here. There was a slight difference in color between a boulder and other boulders in the chamber. If you looked closely, you could see that the filling material for the small seams was also different.

This huge boulder weighs several tons at first glance, and it is impossible to move it with human power. In the past, it would have taken a lot of effort and time, but in this era of rapid technological development, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. Although direct explosion cannot be used, McClun was prepared for it. In addition to Cosenz and others, he also brought blasting masters with him.

"Cosentz, ask your people to prepare to assist Barr in the explosion."

At this time, Cosenz's manpower will be needed, and Cosenz will certainly not refuse.

"Ok, no problem."

When Cosentz, Barr and others were making preparations for the explosion, McClun, as the captain, certainly would not let others watch.

"Continue to observe and see if there are any other differences."

As for Cosentz, a few people quickly drilled holes in the rocks, then quickly put in the expansion agent, and then added water. A few minutes later, only a bang was heard, and the boulder was split into many pieces. This time it was much easier to handle.

After a group of people moved the stones away, a dark hole appeared in front of everyone.

"Wait a minute."

McClun grabbed one of his men who was eager to enter, took a torch from the others and threw it in. The torch was quickly extinguished.

"There's a lack of oxygen inside. Let's wait and go in again."

After waiting for almost half an hour, everyone entered. As soon as they entered Ru Cave, everyone was stunned. A large number of gold ornaments are piled up like a mountain, the most conspicuous of which is a small golden elephant as tall as a person. In addition, there are a large number of boxes piled up here.

Everyone was mesmerized by this golden color, with fascinated expressions on their faces.

McClun stepped forward and pried open a box, which was full of various gold coins.

"Have someone come in and prepare to move out."

McClun's words made everyone at the scene look back. Although they were still a little reluctant, they also knew that this wealth did not belong to them.

Then they moved the treasures onto horse-drawn carriages and transported them away. To do this, they demolished the temple gates to facilitate the entry of horse-drawn carriages.

In addition to the secret room treasures discovered by McClun, there were also discoveries in other secret rooms. A large number of gold and silver coins and their products were piled up like mountains. The empty carriages responsible for transportation entered the temple one after another. When they went out, the axles of the axles were pressed. Gotta crunch.

This situation lasted until dawn, and the fully loaded convoy drove away leaving a mess on the ground.

This time, more than fifty tons of gold and silver treasures were looted from the temple, which weighed down more than seventy carriages.

Among them, there are more than 30 tons of gold and its accessories, and 20 tons of silver coins and their accessories.

The most eye-catching one is a life-size golden Buddha statue. This statue of Buddha lying on its side on the body of a snake took a lot of effort to move onto the carriage.

There are also a large number of diamonds and gemstones, also weighing hundreds of kilograms, with a total value of 600 million lire (don’t think it’s small, it’s 24 million pounds). This wealth is a great addition to Italy.

Don’t think it’s too little, and don’t judge it by its current value. If you think about it carefully, this is the cost of building more than ten dreadnoughts. Don’t you feel much better?
