I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China

As Lu Pingsheng screamed, the two men fell backwards. Fortunately, Lu Pingsheng had some practice, so he turned sideways when he fell, and the backpack behind him provided cushion, so he only tripped Wei Miao.

"Meow~" Ahri made a low howling sound.

"What is it?" Wei Miao asked.

Lu Pingsheng stood up and motioned Wei Miao to look over.

Two entangled white bones, with black eye sockets facing them.

The most important thing is, looking at the direction of the two bones, it should be crawling forward.

Wei Miao had sharp eyes and immediately saw the two gold ingots beside them.

"Hmm? A treasure thief or a treasure repairman?"

Wei Miao instantly thought of these two answers in his little brain.

Lu Pingsheng moved the searchlight away from the skull and shone it on the stone wall next to it, hoping to find the answer.

Unfortunately, even the mottled walls are made of marble, so it is impossible to carve words on the walls like what is described in martial arts novels.

"Brother Lu?"

Lu Pingsheng looked at the two skeletons on the ground, bowed slightly in apology, and said, "It is fate that we met. I will bury you two after I finish my business."

After saying that, he walked over sideways.

Although Wei Miao found him inexplicable, he did not step over the bones, but walked to the side.

She was so greedy that she didn't even pick up the gold on the ground. After all, everyone says that the dead are the greatest.

In fact, the most important thing is that she owns an entire secret room of gold.

The gold bars on the shelves alone weigh tens of thousands of pounds. If you add in the gold bars and silver on the ground, Wei Miao feels that even the gold reserves of some countries do not have so much.

Finally I experienced the feeling of being wealthy.

As the two walked forward, they saw white bones every now and then, and there were two gold ingots beside each skeleton.

"It should be the person who built the treasury. When the work was completed, he was paid and then locked in a secret room."

Lu Pingsheng spoke slowly. Such a long tunnel that could accommodate a carriage and a treasure house covering more than 20 acres could not be completed by a few people in a few days.

"Brother Lu, why don't they run to where there's wind?"

Wei Miao raised a question.

Just as Lu Pingsheng was about to answer, he saw a half-open stone door, one person wide, suddenly appear in the long passage ahead.

The only thing that could be seen was that it was one person wide, because there were piles of bones under the gap, and the mottled, wind-dried things on the ground under their feet, on the stone door, and on the walls should be blood and minced meat.

“This is a stone gate separated by human lives.”

There was a hint of sadness in Lu Pingsheng's tone. Looking at the gold ingots scattered on the ground, he could even imagine the scene at that time.

When the stone gate was about to close, this group of people who had agreed together stepped forward to act as meat shields and fill the gap.

One after another, their bodies hollowed out by years of hard labor rushed forward, creating an escape route for the people behind them. . .

Wei Miao turned his head and looked at the expression on Lu Pingsheng's face with some confusion.

"Brother Lu?"

Lu Pingsheng came back to his senses and suddenly realized that he had read too many novels.

Wei Miao followed Lu Pingsheng's example and bowed to the pile of broken bones in front of him with his fists clasped.

"When we get out, we will make sure you all rest in peace."

After Wei Miao finished speaking, he turned to Lu Pingsheng and said, "Brother Lu, Ali and I will go in first, and you will stay here to cover us."

Lu Pingsheng nodded, thinking that the little brat was indeed more suitable to go in than her.

Wei Miao stepped over the half-human-high white bones in the crack of the door, and kicked a skeleton when his foot landed.

"Sorry."

Wei Miao muttered to herself and began to look around the place in front of her. Even though she was a beast at heart, she couldn't help but take a breath.

Where the searchlight illuminated, there were densely packed human bones, estimated to be thousands in number.

There was no place to step on the ground. Every step Wei Miao took forward would easily crush bones that had been weathered for hundreds of years.

Wei Miao told Lu Pingsheng about the situation.

"Brother Lu, this is very strange. Logically, there are thousands of corpses here, and the smell should be extremely unpleasant, but there is no peculiar smell."

She made this decision because she had keen senses and realized there was no harm.

"What does it look like inside?" Lu Pingsheng asked as he looked inside through the gap.

Then his pupils suddenly widened and he didn't speak for a long time.

From the shapes of the bones on the ground, it can be seen that these people suffered a lot before they died.

"Brother Lu, what do you think?"

In the place illuminated by Wei Miao's searchlight, there was a platform with a desk on it and several boxes placed on it.

The gold ingots in the open box were exactly the same as those on the bones.

Even though Lu Pingsheng couldn't bear it, the two of them had to walk on the bones.

Occasionally there are broken pieces of coarse ceramics under your feet, which are a little bit uncomfortable.

Under the bright searchlight, there is a book on the desk, and behind the book there is a white skeleton crawling, and the skull is looking steadily in the direction of the book.

Wei Miao reached out to touch it.

"Don't move!" Lu Pingsheng said, then stepped forward.

He bent down to read the contents of the book, which contained only densely packed names of people with circles after them.

“Are those the names of these people?”

Lu Pingsheng remained silent for a long time. When he read historical books and miscellaneous notes in the past, he wanted to know what the final outcome was for those who built tombs for emperors.

Even if they were killed, how could we kill so many laborers?

Now seeing this scene, he seemed to understand something.

They must have made people drink poisoned wine and locked them in a secret room under the pretext of paying them wages.

This explains why there are bodies falling one after another in the passage.

"Does the person who pays the wages know this?"

Wei Miao looked at the person lying on the desk with curiosity. Seeing that he was looking in the direction of the list, he seemed to be unwilling to give up.

Lu Pingsheng sneered and said, "In ancient times, noble families all kept loyal servants. His death brought prosperity to the whole family, so it is certainly worth it."

Wei Miao felt that Brother Lu had been in a bad mood and spoke in a sarcastic tone since he saw a skeleton.

She decided not to bring bad luck, so she turned around and looked at the gold ingots in the box. She put her hand in it to absorb a few, put a few in her own small cloth bag, and put a few in the military backpack for Brother Lu. She was very satisfied.

Lu Pingsheng felt both angry and amused when he saw the little kid busying around on the white bones like a little mouse.

"These are all yours, why are you pretending?"

Wei Miao used the searchlight on his head to survey the surrounding environment and said:

"Brother Lu, you don't think this is the end, do you?"

Lu Pingsheng, who was hesitating whether to touch the booklet, was stunned after hearing this.

"Is not it?"

Wei Miao shook his head. "There is only gold and silver in the secret room underground at home. Although there is a lot of it, what is missing?"

"You mean the precious calligraphy and paintings?"

Wei Miao nodded repeatedly. She must have the treasures and paintings, otherwise Brother Lu would take half of the gold and silver, and she would be reluctant to part with them.

"Your bedroom is obviously the exit, so where is the entrance?"

After Wei Miao finished speaking, Lu Pingsheng looked in the direction of her searchlight.

We found a place where white skeletons on the ground were facing the same place.
