Chapter 896: Who is the traitor?
"Director Ma suddenly appeared and saved me. At that time, I was chased by those monsters to the stone gate. I was already in despair."
"You mean Ma Rubin?" Lin Ran frowned. The timing of his appearance must have been too coincidental.
Shen Yi nodded, "I didn't care about that much at the time. I just saw him opening the stone door, pulling me out, and then blocking the door from the outside."
Now that I think about it, there are indeed many doubts.
But at that time, Ma Rubin took Shen Yi away from another road and brought him back to the archaeological team.
After returning to the archaeological team, Zhao Lijie never came back. If he saw that kid, he would be beaten until he was full of teeth.
Moreover, he reported this matter and no one took it seriously.
He was brought into the research room, and a group of leaders asked him about the situation in the tomb, but no matter what he said, he had obtained the animal head and a strange potion, and then his companions were forced to take the potion, which resulted in the entire archaeological team being annihilated.
The leaders didn't seem to hear what he said, and kept asking questions around the potion and the orc leader.
Only then did Shen Yi realize that the orc head he had worked so hard to bring out was gone, along with the inscription they had carved.
He had been asking to call the police and wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly.
However, he encountered strong opposition from the leaders, and eventually even found reasons to send him to a mental hospital.
In the mental hospital, no one would believe him no matter what he said.
Even his wife and children accepted this reality and allowed him to cultivate himself inside through the iron gate and recover as soon as possible.
"I was desperate at the time... I didn't understand why the leaders I had always trusted abandoned me? Could it be that the more than 30 lives of our fourth archaeological team were worthless in their eyes." Shen Yi sighed deeply.
"Later I heard that they sent another archaeological team to explore, but I was locked up in a mental hospital at the time, and it was Director Ma who told me about it."
Lin Ran was stunned. Why did the archaeological team keep silent about this matter?Unless the Treasure Hunt Club had changed the entire top management, why would they do this to him?
But he didn't completely believe Shen Yi's words.
"How did you get out of the mental hospital?" Lin Ran stared at Shen Yi's eyes, trying to tell whether he was lying.
"It was Director Ma who used his connections to get me out. He asked me to find evidence that the treasure hunter would do evil, so that he could be brought to justice." Shen Yi gritted his teeth, the death of his companion, the shame of sending him to a mental hospital, and The tears of my wife and children.
He must take revenge.
After that, Ma Rubin told him to use Zhao Lijie's name to approach Lin Ran and his party and take them to the mausoleum.
As for the reason, he didn't know either.
Originally, he was very doubtful about the strength of Lin Ran and others, and even took the wrong road at the first intersection.
But they didn't expect to get here, relying on the news they had previously interpreted.
What they got before were just samples, and the real formula was in the main tomb, right below.
Now, Shen Yi's speech is much clearer, unlike before, where he was a complete layman in the industry.
Guan Yun approached Lin Ran and whispered: "Based on the experience I learned from the army, what he said should be the truth."
When telling lies, people always make some small moves.
People who are good at interrogation can often judge whether what they say is true or false by their body language and eyes.
Lin Ran also felt that he was not lying to him, but he always felt that he was hiding something.
Then he nodded and said: "It seems that Ma Rubin is plotting against us behind the scenes."
"That boy is indeed from the Treasure Hunting Club." Liu Jingfeng remembered that he was taught a lesson by Ma Rubin in the tomb last time, and he was not angry at all.
"That's wrong." Lin Ran didn't understand why Ma Rubin arranged it like this, but he personally got rid of the traitor who was arranged by the Treasure Hunting Society in the archaeological team in the capital, and he had been lurking for many years.
If it was just to deceive the truth about the Cangzhou Ancient Tomb, then his thinking was too advanced.
In addition, they had been educated by the real Director Ma at the banquet before, and their family seemed to be good at acting and doing some strange things.
Lin Ran said, "This place is different from the Tomb of the Queen of the Kingdom of Jin. If someone follows us, it is easy to trigger the trap behind us, so I think he should not be behind us."
Then, he set his sights on the stone tablet.
Since there are no vents on the surrounding walls, they are naturally located under the stone monument.
"Dig it up." Lin Ran said to the two people standing next to the stone monument, holding tools in a daze.
"Ah?" Wang Jinpeng was still waiting for a good show. He thought he would deal with Zhao Lijie, but he didn't expect Lin Ran to just forget it.
"Mr. Shen, please tell me completely who is in the tomb and what is buried?"
While everyone was digging, Lin Ran pulled Shen Yi aside.
Shen Yi looked at the ceiling and fell into deep thought.
Cangzhou, close to Canghai, is a battleground for military strategists and has been repeatedly attacked by wars.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu, retreated to Cangzhou, and then died of illness.
After he died of illness, Shen Pei forged a will and established Yuan Shang as his heir.
You must know that Cangzhou is Yuan Tan's territory, and it was his contribution to the pacification of Hebei.
However, he was adopted by Yuan Shao and given to his elder brother Yuan Ji as his stepson. After Yuan Shao died in battle, because he could not succeed to the throne, he joined Cao's army and fought against his brother.
But people's desires will not end. After he obtained Qingzhou, he still wanted to establish his own political power.
He once again joined forces with his younger brother Yuan Shang to pretend to attack Yecheng, but actually captured many of Cao Cao's territories.
Finally, he was angered by Cao Cao, so he beheaded him and buried him with his wife and daughter.
Lin Ran was shocked. It matched the time, but Lin Ran had seen in the library of this era that Yuan Tan was buried in Baomin Village, and his tomb had long been destroyed.
"What's written in the book may not be true." Shen Yi smiled bitterly, "And I'm just speculating."
Lin Ran thought for a moment and thought that Yuan Tan was not a wise master in history. He was simply played by Guo Jia.
He just easily aroused the conflict between the brothers and turned the people he killed on their feet.
In the end, if he hadn't wanted to oppose Cao Cao, Cao Cao wouldn't have killed him.
Moreover, he has not yet established a country and still belongs to the Han Dynasty, which is not very similar to the situation he investigated.
"As for the biological weapons you mentioned, what evidence is there?" Before meeting the owner of the tomb, the rest is just speculation.
"Director Ma told me. He seems to have received the investigation report of the treasure hunt party." Shen Yi touched his head and said, "I have a headache, so let's not talk about it for now."
The last incident gave him great psychological trauma, and he was locked up in a mental hospital and given electric shocks and treatment for a period of time. He usually pretended to be crazy and acted stupidly, but now he gets a headache when he gets serious.
