Anecdotal rumors about the treasures of heaven in the Republic of China
After the Republic of China, there was a magazine called Truth, which also described a story about the treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom: a Guangzhou man was a soldier in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Before the fall of Tianjing, a prince ordered him and 46 other soldiers to build a private treasure cave in his home and buried 3 million yuan of gold and silver. After the project was completed, Wang Ye said that he would host a banquet at his home to reward them. The Guangzhou native couldn't attend because he was suffering from malaria and was suffering from cold and fever. Everyone else went to the party in high spirits, but the heartless prince took advantage of the party to kill them all. The Guangzhou native was shocked to learn that all the people attending the banquet were silent and immediately fled back to Guangdong with illness. Later, before he died, the man gave his son a sketch and told him to "dig up the hidden treasure and appease my legacy." So, the son took care of his father's affairs and came to Nanjing to spend a lot of money to hire foreigners to investigate. He once said to foreign engineers: "In the area of Zhongzheng Street (now the east section of Baixia Road), there are two bluestones dug down more than 43 meters, and then 10 meters, there is an old water west gate. Out of the door, it was the treasure house of the year. " But did this man find the 3 million taels of gold and silver, but Truth magazine didn't find the following. Just when readers thought the story published in this magazine was just an anecdote, it was not credible at all. 19 12 In the winter, the local government in Nanjing did not know where the news came from and really carried out a treasure excavation. However, after digging for more than a month, I dug more than 40 meters underground and didn't see the treasure. Disappointed, I had to return empty-handed. In 2005, in order to get through Longpan Middle Road, the Nanjing Municipal Government also carried out construction in Tongjimen area. Road builders found a layer of ancient bluestone under the soil during construction, and suspected that there was an ancient tomb or cellar below. However, after careful investigation by several cultural relics experts, it was confirmed that there was no cellar under the bluestone slab, and then it was dug more than 20 meters underground, and no new discovery was made. Moreover, the area is close to Qinhuai River, and the groundwater seepage is serious, so the deep foundation pit project was finally abandoned. So, until today, the location of the hidden treasure in Nanjing is still an unsolved mystery.
