NOVEL WEB Treasure hunt begins in England
Chapter 31 Decision
Chapter 31 Decision
After reading the words on these gold bars, Liang En fell into deep thought.Originally, he thought that this pile of gold, silver and jewelry could be collected by himself, but the words on these gold bars forced him to change his mind.
So he picked up his mobile phone and logged on to a website called ANF, where he inquired about the earl that Jacques de Brian said.
The full name of ANF is L'Association d'entraide de la noblesse franaise, which is a non-governmental organization established by the descendants of French nobles to deal with identity verification and the fraudulent use of titles.
And Liang En logged on to this website now, just to find out whether the Earl surnamed Du Lisi was really passed down before.If it is passed down, he will bring these gold jewels back to the other party.
The reason why no title is not checked is also very simple, because changes in several dynasties are likely to lead to changes in title.Therefore, in this regard, there is a high probability that the target will not be found by following the map.
However, judging from the information left on the gold nugget, there is a high probability that the other party cut off contact with the UK in order to avoid the confiscation of wealth after encountering censorship.Thinking about it, he shouldn't lose his title.
After all, there were too many nobles of the Bourbon dynasty who chose to compromise with Napoleon. After the restoration of Charles X, it was impossible for the nobles who were their natural supporters to be cruel.
Of course, you can't return to cruelty without being cruel.But after taking over the mess, Charles X will definitely ask this group of nobles for money, which is why the earl cut off contact with the UK back then.
Liang En stared at the screen of the phone thinking about the possible story behind it, but after waiting for nearly a minute, the ANF page was finally refreshed.
The speed of the Internet in Ireland is hard to describe. Although theoretically the network covers 99% of the area, once you live in this country for a long time, you will realize that the so-called 1% seems to be a bit spread out.
The word Doris means lily in French, but it is not very common as a surname.So after entering this surname and waiting for a minute and a half, the only answer was displayed on the screen: Count Bossett.
However, considering privacy issues, the website can only find out the name and family crest of the current owner of the title.There is no specific information including the current location of the other party.
"It seems that this treasure is going to be given to someone else." Staring at the content displayed on the screen, Liang En showed a relieved expression on his face.
Indeed, this treasure makes him very tempted, because the gold in it is worth about 450 million pounds at the market price, and if jewelry is added, it can easily exceed 700 million pounds.That's worth a fortune, even in England.
But what Jacques de Brian engraved at the end of the gold nugget moved Liang En, because at the end, Jacques said that it was his duty to protect this wealth, and there was no need to entrust such a heavy duty to others. people.
So according to him, if the person who finally finds the wealth can find the Earl of Bossett or his descendants, he will send the wealth to him. He believes that the honor of the nobility will make the earl pay the person who returns these treasures satisfactory remuneration.
But if you do everything possible, you still can't find the earl or the earl's descendants.Then this is the will of the gods, and those who find these treasures can take these gold and jewels as their own.
This is why Liang En decided to return these things to their owners after confirming that the title and family coat of arms were consistent with what was left on the gold nuggets.
After all, that Jacques was able to remain unmoved in the face of so many treasures and stick to his promise, so he felt that he should not be far behind in this regard.
More importantly, the education he received since he was a child made it impossible for him to embezzle the money knowingly that he had it.Even if the owner of this finance does not know their existence.And from a more realistic point of view, hundreds of kilograms of gold is not something he can swallow at his current level. There is a high probability that selling on the bright side will attract a lot of unnecessary attention, while shipping secretly has a high probability of losing both people and money. It is much more likely than getting money.
After all, from a legal point of view, this thing can be regarded as the owner's lost property.It's really cool to take it away now, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world, if someone finds out later, it will definitely not be worth the loss.
The most important thing is that with the golden finger, he has a great probability of becoming a famous historian and treasure hunter in the future.So for the sake of a bright future, it is better to avoid some things as much as possible.
Yes, there is a wealth worth 700 million pounds here, but compared with my own future, this wealth is only an insignificant part.
When it was time for lunch, Liang En told his parents about it at the dinner table.Unsurprisingly, his parents were all behind him.
On the one hand, this is a matter of the three views of the whole family, and on the other hand, it is also out of caution.For example, both parents feel that taking such a large sum of ill-gotten wealth is not a good thing, but will bring disaster to themselves.
"And I don't think it's useless even if you return this wealth." After discussing the ownership of the wealth in a few words, Liang En's father added as if he had thought of something.
"I remember seeing a similar case in the newspaper before, saying that the owner of the treasure provided 1/5 of the treasure's wealth to the person who found the treasure. So if the other party is really a nobleman, even for the sake of face You can't pay too little."
"That's right." Liang En's mother put his favorite braised pork in front of him, and then said. "Compared to the current wealth, I feel more stable in my heart if I honestly get less rewards."
After lunch, Liang En called Pierce to inquire about how to get in touch with Earl Bossett. Although Pierce didn't know why he asked this, he still agreed to help inquire through his own channels.
As a result, Liang En didn't receive a text message from Pierce until the evening.Fortunately, the circle of aristocrats in Europe is only that big, so Pierce was able to find out the contact information of Earl Bossett.
After replying the text message to thank Pierce, Liang En picked up the phone and dialed the number of Earl Bossett's mansion he had given.
It may be because this call is an unfamiliar call to the other party, so the other party has not answered the call once or twice at first.
It wasn't until the third time that someone on the other end of the phone picked up the receiver. "This is Earl Bossit's Mansion." A middle-aged man's voice came from the microphone. "Is there anything you want to call here?"
"I have received a commission from Mr. Jacques de Brian, and I need to return some of your lost things." Liang En said while sitting in the room, looking at the pile of gold on the ground in front of him.
"Uh—sorry. I don't remember that we have anything stored at Mr. Jacques de Brian's. May I ask you to find the wrong person?"
"There should be no wrong person." Liang En said with certainty. "It's just that the thing kept by Mr. Jacques de Borian was supposed to be handed over to you 100 years ago, but it couldn't be handed over to you for various reasons at that time."
"And I found these things again in an accident, and then followed the clues left in these things to find you."
