Chapter 842
Before the two gypsy thieves approached, Xiao Ran had already sensed their intentions.
He immediately turned his head to look at the two female thieves, copied French and cursed in a low voice:
"Go aside, don't go near Lao Tzu!"
"You ghost tricks, don't embarrass yourself in front of Lao Tzu!"
The French that comes out of his mouth is pronounced very purely, completely with the accent of a Parisian native.
This depends on Elaine's teaching, and also comes from Xiao Ran's amazing learning ability like genius.
Hearing his scolding, the two gypsy thieves immediately stopped.
They could instantly hear that the white boy in front of them was a Parisian local, not a tourist from abroad.
After determining this, the two gypsy thieves immediately turned and left, without the slightest embarrassment.
For those of them, in general, their targets do not include Parisian locals.
If you attack the locals in Paris, once caught, it is likely to cause big trouble, and the police will handle the case more seriously.
If the target is a provincial or foreign tourist, even if caught, the police will turn a blind eye and will soon be released.
After the two gypsy thieves returned to their companions, they immediately whispered to their companions that Xiao Ran was a native of Paris.
Make sure of this, and the rest of the gypsy thieves are just boring!
In addition, those Arab thieves and black thieves soon received the news and stopped paying attention to Xiao Ran!
After blowing away the two gypsy female thieves, Xiao Ran continued to see through the situation on the third floor of the Red Building.
On the third floor of the Red Building, there are many antique furniture from China, and most of them are furniture from the middle and late Qing Dynasty, with average value!
However, in this batch of antique furniture, there are two rosewood four-headed official hats and chairs from the Ming Dynasty.
And in a mahogany cabinet in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, there is another secret hidden.
It was a freehand painting of flowers and birds hidden in the mezzanine of the cabinet, which was the work of Xu Wei, a famous painter of the Ming Dynasty.
More importantly, this is a famous painting recorded on the "Shiqu Baoji" and passed down in an orderly manner.
This freehand painting of flowers and birds was originally collected in the Qing Palace, until it was dispersed to the people in the early years of the Republic of China, and then disappeared!
Who would have thought that this painting actually fell into the hands of Lu Qinzhai, and was hidden by him inside this antique furniture from the middle of the Qing Dynasty!
What surprised Xiao Ran was this Xu Wei's freehand painting of flowers and birds, and the pair of official hats and chairs of the late Ming Dynasty rosewood!
In addition to these treasures, there were no other surprises found on the third floor of the Red Chamber.
Although there are several secret dark compartments on the third floor of the Red Building, there is nothing inside, and each dark grid is empty!
The next four and five layers, Xiao Ran also discovered, but it can only be regarded as a few small surprises.
These new discoveries cannot be compared with Xu Wei's paintings.
After probing the buildings on the ground, Xiao Ran looked at the basement of the Red Building.
What followed his eyes were a large number of antique artifacts from India, which filled almost every room in the basement.
Although the number of these Indian antique cultural relics is large, they are not too valuable, and they can only be regarded as ordinary antique cultural relics, but they occupy an exotic style, but they are also somewhat interesting.
In the basement of the Red Chamber, Xiao Ran found several more secret compartments, as well as a vault.
There was nothing in those dark grids, but in that vault, there were several antique artifacts of great value!
Among them are bronzes from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, as well as a Buddha head, several fine porcelain, and several famous calligraphy and paintings!
This may be one of the few treasures that Lu Qinzhai passed on to future generations and has not yet been sold, and it is not easy to preserve it to this day!
If the situation does not change, I believe that it will not be long before these remaining treasures will also be sold out!
After quickly grasping the situation in the basement, Xiao Ran looked at the ground of the basement again and began to probe the situation deep underground.
The next moment, his gaze pierced straight through the ground and began to extend deep underground.
Unfortunately, within the reach of the clairvoyant power, only the tamped earth and rocks were found, and nothing else was found.
Xiao Ran immediately shifted his gaze and looked at another place.
What appeared in his eyes this time was still the previous picture, only the land and rocks.
In the next few places, it's the same picture.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran's gaze had come to a room on the north side of the basement, penetrating into the depths of the ground again!
The picture that appeared in his eyes this time was finally different!
When the line of sight penetrated into a depth of about three meters underground, a dark secret passage that spiraled downward suddenly appeared in Xiao Ran's field of vision!
The moment he saw this underground secret passage, a smile immediately flashed in Xiao Ran's eyes.
This is the surprise that Ryoko said before and found under the Red Chamber!
They used deep ground penetrating radar to detect that there was a very secret underground space about seven meters below the Red Building.
The area of this underground space is not large, only more than thirty square meters, boxy.
Judging from the shape of the underground space, it is obviously a hidden underground space built artificially, not a naturally formed underground cave!
However, what is hidden in this hidden underground space, or it is empty, everyone does not know!
Since it was impossible to enter the basement of the Red Chamber to explore, and could not scan with a pulsed metal detector, the third team did not get the most accurate detection data!
As a result, people can only speculate and analyze on the basis of the detected data!
Since the secret passage was a spiraling downward staircase, Xiao Ran's line of sight could not penetrate deep into the secret space more than seven meters underground!
His line of sight extended down the spiral staircase for less than three meters, and he could no longer move forward, so he could only retract his gaze helplessly!
But this is enough, enough to make Xiao Ran make up his mind!
When he found out, the period when the secret tunnel was built was the same period as the Red Chamber.
The period of being sealed was after the forties and fifties of the last century, and he immediately made a decision.
Be sure to buy the entire Red House, and then find a way to get permission from the Paris city government and the French Ministry of Culture to start exploring the Red House.
Even if there is nothing in that hidden underground space, the risk is well worth taking!
If nothing else, those big and small surprises hidden on several floors above ground and in the vault are enough to cover the cost of buying the Red House, and it is more than enough!
The Red House itself is a cultural heritage building, which has a lot of value and can be upgraded to become a better oriental museum!
From this point of view, this transaction will not only not lose, but can make a big profit!
After determining this, Xiao Ran immediately shifted his gaze, looked elsewhere in the basement, and continued to see.
He never found any surprises.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Red Mansion and the depths of the ground were seen through by him, and it was already in his chest.
He then left the Red House and walked towards another nearby historic building.
That historical building was also built by Lu Qinzhai, and it was built at the same time as the Red House, but it is a neoclassical building, not a Chinese-style building!
When the third exploration group came here to explore before, they also found something surprising deep underground in that historic building!
As for what exactly those surprises are, it is impossible to determine for the time being, and further exploration is needed.
Soon, Xiao Ran came to the downstairs of the neoclassical building and began to explore the secret again!
He is like an architecture lover, admiring this historic building!
