Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

After confirming that everyone had left, Liang En and Jeanne immediately began to dig. Because there was no one else around, they could fully use their inhuman physical strength.

Therefore, in just one day, Liang En and the others successfully cleaned up the 5~7cm layer of sand on top and revealed the situation below.

Underneath the sand is a layer of wood made of the same material as the previous door, but it has been completely rotted and carbonized due to being buried underground for decades.

After easily shoveling away the completely rotten wood, they finally saw the things that had been hidden before.

With the help of strong flashlights, Liang En and the others could clearly see the things at the bottom of the pit. At this moment, both Liang En and Jeanne showed shocked expressions.

"God, this is -" Looking at the silver bricks the size of city wall bricks covering almost the entire ground in front of her, even Jeanne showed a shocked expression. "This is a silver brick!"

Although these things look dark, Liang En knows that they are formed after oxidation in the current humid and hot environment, so they are not the normal silvery white.

After the two of them used the electric winch left here to pull out a silver brick from the pit, Liang En immediately checked it.

Contrary to imagination, this silver brick is not the kind of silver brick from a bank. It looks very rough. There are no words or numbers on it, and there are even honeycomb-shaped bubble holes at the bottom.

From this point, it can be judged that the silver was not found from banks or some financial institutions, but the plundered silver was directly re-melted and cast into such large silver bricks.

The next step was to count the amount of silver. Fortunately, one of Liang Enduo's powers happened to be able to form space, so he could collect the silver into the space with just a light touch.

But even so, it was not a simple matter to collect all the silver. It took more than an hour before Liang En used cards to collect all the silver.

The pit is about two meters deep and is basically filled with silver bricks. Only a platform made of dirt in the corner is free of silver bricks.

"As soon as we found more than 38m of silver." After bringing the last silver brick closer to the space, Liang En said to Joan of Arc who was waiting at the edge of the pit. "About 400 tons."

"This is not a small amount of money." Joan of Arc smiled as she stood on the edge of the pit. Although all countries now adopt the gold standard and silver is no longer currency, it is still expensive as a precious metal with a wide range of uses.

As for the silver, it is most likely that it was plundered from the Chinese families in Southeast Asia. Those wealthy Chinese families have traditionally had the habit of hoarding silver, so they were naturally plundered after the Japanese invaded.

You know, the rich people in Southeast Asia from ancient times to the present, except for the local sultans, kings and nobles, are basically Chinese, and some families even last for hundreds of years.

In hundreds of years of trade, even in the face of maritime embargoes and plunder by Western colonists, Chinese merchants still had an absolute advantage in many industries.

Therefore, for the Japanese army that invaded Southeast Asia during World War II, they naturally chose to plunder the wealth of those Chinese families as fuel for their war machine.

As for the fact that these silver treasures have not been discovered to this day, it is related to the fact that they are only silver. After all, the Japanese devils plundered thousands of tons of gold alone, so a few hundred tons of silver may not really be considered the most important treasure in their eyes. .

Therefore, after the Japanese who were directly responsible went to see Amaterasu collectively, the secret escaped the search of the Japanese, Americans and Filipinos and has been preserved to this day.

But no matter what, the silver now belongs to Liang En, but the biggest loss for him is that even if he adopts various tax avoidance schemes, he must hand over at least 1/4 of the silver.

Although I really don’t want to pay it, I still have to pay this tax, because if I don’t pay it, the time, experience, and risks required to legalize so many precious metals will not be worth it.

"Okay, let's see what's in this mound?" After sighing for a while about the silver they were about to hand over, Liang En and the others began to dig up the mound in front of them. Soon, a flash of gold appeared in front of the two people.

"It's not another Buddha statue, is it?" Joan of Arc said a little depressed looking at this golden touch, because she had seen too many copper-plated Buddha statues before, which made her a little tired of this kind of thing.

"It's very possible." After cleaning away the dirt with a plastic shovel, Liang En felt that Joan's guess was true because he saw spiral hair, which is a characteristic of Buddha statues.

Sure enough, as they dug, a life-size Buddha statue gradually emerged from the soil. As they had guessed before, this golden Buddha statue looked not much different from the previous one.

"What's wrong with the devil? There must be a Buddha statue hidden underground." Looking at the Buddha statue, Joan of Arc even said the word devil in unskilled Chinese.

Because there are so many Buddha statues on the ground just now, normal people should put all the Buddha statues together on the ground instead of placing one or a few Buddha statues separately in other places.

"Although all Japanese have their faults, there are other reasons why this Buddha statue is here." Liang En looked at the Buddha statue in front of him and smiled, "Unlike the previous gilded Buddha statues, this one is made of pure gold."

"Pure gold!" After hearing what Liang En said, Jeanne was stunned. "You didn't lie to me!"

"Of course I'm not lying to you. If you take a closer look, you will notice the difference between pure gold and gilded gold." Liang En smiled and said, "It's just that it's definitely troublesome to get this thing."

After all, this golden Buddha can be regarded as a national treasure, so even if there are laws, it is still a question whether those Filipinos are willing to abide by the laws they have made.

Although according to Liang En's habit, he would return such things that were purely plundered during World War II to the victimized country, just like the cultural relics found before, but he did not want to pay too much extra in this regard.

"Solving this problem is very simple, just change the discovery location." Joan of Arc showed a smile. Her moral level is high, but she is definitely not rigid and dogmatic.

"We can do whatever we want with the silver and gilt bronze Buddha statues according to local regulations, but the golden Buddha can be made into a fake relic on the high seas and pretended to be salvaged."

For Joan of Arc, the most important thing is that these cultural relics plundered by the invaders should be returned to their original owners, and it does not matter what method is taken.

"You're right, this is indeed a good idea." Liang En also nodded. Because in terms of operability, with the backing of card skills, the whole process can be done flawlessly.

As for the subsequent finishing work, it is also very simple. After all, gold will not oxidize if it is soaked in sea water. As for the fact that there is no trace of water bubbles, when it is taken out, Liang En can say that he cleaned the Buddha statue out of religious respect.

Anyway, this Buddha statue will be sent directly back to its motherland. For Cambodia, which uses Buddhism as its national religion, no one will study this situation carefully.
