Chapter 1868: Divide the treasure

After pulling Derek and Tommy up from the bottom of the pit, Ye Tian turned around and walked to the five boxes, ready to uncover the treasure with his own hands to see what treasures are hidden in those boxes.
He did not rush to clean the dirt on these boxes, nor did he use a water gun to wash the dirt, although he knew very well that the method was the quickest and the most trouble-free.
At least on the surface, he is the same as everyone else. He doesn't know whether the boxes are damaged, how waterproof, what is inside, whether there are paper documents or artworks that are afraid of water, etc.
For the sake of safety, you cannot use a high-pressure water gun to wash the soil on the surface of the box.
After squatting down and pretending to observe carefully, Ye Tian took a towel and gently wiped the dirt on the lock of the first box.
After hundreds of years, the padlock that revealed its true face was already rusty at this moment, and the keyhole was rusted to death, and it could not be opened using normal methods, even with a key.
There is only one way to open the lock, and that is to cut it to open the locked box.
Next, Ye Tian held up the padlock and looked at it carefully, and then gave the appraisal conclusion.
"This kind of padlock appeared in the middle and late seventeenth century. It can be seen that these boxes were buried here at the earliest in the middle and late seventeenth century. The boxes contained in them might not be the treasures of the Knights Templar!
From the analysis of the rust marks on the padlocks and the soil and water conditions here, these boxes should have been buried deep underground for less than three hundred years, which is not in line with the disappearance of the Templar treasure.
Of course, it is also possible that the treasure of the Knights Templar had been hidden elsewhere before, and it was only transferred here in the middle and late seventeenth century or later, and replaced with new boxes and locks! "
"Ah! Not the treasure of the Knights Templar? So what's in these boxes?"
"Could it be another treasure? If it is, it is really an unexpected gain!"
There was a lot of exclamation and discussion at the scene. Everyone had different emotions, including regrets, curiosities, surprises and so on.
Ye Tian scanned the crowd, then smiled and said:
"What are the contents in these boxes? Just open them and the answer will be presented to everyone. I hope to witness a miracle and harvest a huge surprise."
As he said, he reached out and took a hydraulic pliers from the toolbox beside him, and stretched it to the rusty padlock.
Following his movements, everyone on the scene held their breath, staring at the rusty box, looking forward and full of curiosity.
"Snapped"
With a crisp sound, the padlock from two to three hundred years ago has been reimbursed, and it was directly cut into two pieces by hydraulic clamps.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian grabbed the broken lock and twisted it a few times before smoothly removing it.
However, he did not open the box immediately, but waved his hand to tell the rest of the people to step back for safety.
After everyone retreated two meters away, he grasped the tab on the lid, slowly lifted the lid, and opened the box that had been sleeping deep underground for hundreds of years, so that the things in the box , To see the sun again!
"squeak!"
Accompanied by the harsh metal rubbing sound, the rusty box covered with mud had been opened by Ye Tian.
The next moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed in front of everyone, extremely dazzling, making everyone's eyes a little dizzy, and even the golden glory of the entire stables!
The scene suddenly became quiet, and there was only a heavy and rapid breathing, and there were no other sounds.
Everyone was dumbfounded, one by one dumbfounded, looking at the box that had been opened, eyes full of incredible, full of madness, and even lost the ability to speak.
"boom"
Ye Tian loosened the lid of the box in his hand, let it fall, and hit the back of the box with a muffled noise.
Accompanied by this muffled noise, the pan was immediately fried.
"Gosh! A box full of gold is really dazzling and crazy!"
"Wow! What a fortune this is, I can hardly imagine it!"
While exclaiming frantically, the guys who had just retreated immediately rushed forward like a tide.
That's right! The box that Ye Tian just opened was indeed full of gold.
To be precise, these boxes are filled with various gold wares, each of which is extremely dazzling and exquisite.
These gold wares include wine glasses, tableware, candlesticks, ornaments, and various gold products used in religious rituals, such as crosses, golden sacrificial drapes, and so on.
Without exception, the shapes of these gold wares are very delicate, with beautiful patterns engraved on them, and some gold wares are even engraved with words and different emblems.
In the blink of an eye, David and the Bishop of Kent, as well as the French guys, rushed to Ye Tian's side and looked at the gold objects in the box. Everyone was extremely excited and their eyes were extremely feverish.
While admiring the gold objects in the box, the Bishop of Kent couldn't wait to ask:
"Steven, what do you think of these dazzling gold objects? Are they treasures of the Knights Templar?"
Ye Tian turned to look at this person, then gently shook his head and said:
"You may be disappointed, Bishop of Kent. Although these gold objects are so dazzling and even crazy enough, they are not a treasure of the Knights Templar!"
"Ah! It's not a treasure of the Knights Templar, that's a shame!"
The Bishop of Kent sighed, his eyes flashed with disappointment at the same time.
As soon as his voice fell, David immediately asked:
"Since these gold objects are not the famous treasures of the Knights Templar, where did they come from? Steven, please explain to everyone."
Following his remarks, everyone at the scene watched over, looking forward to Ye Tian's explanation to resolve everyone's doubts.
Ye Tian didn't start explaining right away, but picked up a unique gin glass from the top of the box, observed it quickly, and then smiled and said:
"Everyone, please take a look at this golden wine glass in my hand. This is a Baroque antique relic, exquisite in shape and extremely luxurious. According to my judgment, this gold wine glass should be from the late seventeenth century.
As we all know, Baroque art flourished from the beginning of the seventeenth century to the middle of the eighteenth century. Since this is an antique relic in the Baroque style, it cannot be related to the treasures of the Knights Templar.
More importantly, this gold goblet is engraved with the emblem of the Savoy family, and there is a line of swash Latin at the bottom. Obviously, this antique comes from the Savoy family who once ruled here.
According to my speculation, these gold objects were not the treasures of the Knights Templar, but were buried here by a certain earl of the Boge family. The specific time of burying this treasure should be in the early eighteenth century.
As for the purpose of the Count of Beaugé burying this treasure, it is not difficult to guess that in the early eighteenth century, Lyon and the surrounding areas were turbulent and precarious. This was obviously for the preservation of private property! "
With that, Ye Tian had already looked at Count Boge, who was standing next to him, and everyone else on the scene was the same. Everyone's eyes were full of envy, and even jealousy!
Looking at Count Boge again, his face flushed with excitement, and his hands seemed to be shaking slightly.
Seeing his appearance, everyone couldn't help but be a little worried, whether this Mr. Earl was overly excited, suddenly suffered a heart attack, and slammed directly into it, and came to the extreme of joy and sorrow!
Fortunately, the body of the veteran nobleman is not bad, and there is no accident. He still stands strong, although still trembling slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Earl Boge suppressed the excitement for a while, turned his head and looked at Ye Tian and said:
"Steven, since this is not the treasure of the Knights Templar, but the treasure of gold and silver hidden by my ancestors, then the ownership of this treasure should belong to our Boge family, is that right?"
Ye Tian looked at the old French nobleman, then smiled and said loudly:
"Mr. Earl, to be precise, this huge amount of gold and silver treasure belongs to both of us. According to the supplementary agreement we signed before, this treasure will be divided equally between the Boje family and our company.
Even if there is no supplementary agreement, according to French law on treasure hunting, you, as the owner of the castle, and our Brave Exploration Company as the discoverer of the treasure, also hold 50% of the rights.
To be honest, at this moment I hope this is the treasure of the Knights Templar. In that case, this secular property will all belong to our Brave Fearless Exploration Company, but now it will be divided into half for you! "
Hearing this, Earl Bogge immediately rolled his eyes angrily, gritted his molars and said:
"Steven, you guy is exactly the same as in the legend. You are so greedy that you want to swallow all of this treasure. You are wishful thinking and nothing at all!
Now that I have signed the relevant supplementary agreement with you, then I must abide by the agreement, and I have to be ransacked by your fellow and divided into half of this treasure. It is useless to feel distressed.
In fact, if it were not for you professionals and professional equipment, I would not have found this treasure hidden by my ancestors~EbookFREE.me~ For this, I want to thank you! "
Having said that, Earl Bogé was heartbroken at the moment, feeling that his heart was twitching, and he was about to spasm!
What a fortune this is! And it was the ancestor who tried to hide it, but now he is about to be swept away in half by the guy Steven. Who can't change it?
"Well, Steven and Jacques, don't rush to divide the gold and silver treasures, there are four boxes that have not been opened, and what is in those boxes is still unknown, maybe it is the treasure of the Knights Templar!
If the four boxes contain the treasures of the Knights Templar, the treasure division plan that you have discussed now will have to be overturned and discussed again. Let's continue unpacking, maybe there will be surprises! "
The Bishop of Kent interjected, with a deep unwilling tone in his tone.
As for Martinez and the other French guys, there is only envy and jealousy.
No matter what Ye Tian and the others found, these gold and silver treasures had nothing to do with the other French guys. They could only look greedy by the side.
