"Lord Hill, let's take a look."

"it is good."

Several guard members walked in front of the passage with flashlights.

锐 Chen Rui, Earl Hill and some others followed.

Soon, a group came to the cellar entrance.

"It's a big treasure."

A lot of people called in surprise.

Through the passage, a large cellar is displayed in front of everyone, with an area of ​​about 50 to 60 square meters, which is equivalent to the size of a two-room and one-living room in the city.

In the corner of the cellar, there are more than a dozen large wooden boxes, some of which are scattered because of decay, and some gold and silver jewelry are scattered next to it.

Earl Hill took an item from the pile of treasures scattered, took out a white glove and rubbed it a few times hard, exposing a shiny silver light.

This is an ordinary silver plate with no pattern.

银 These silver plates, Chen Rui, have been seen a lot on the "Lucky Star" shipwreck.

Earl Hill opened several more wooden boxes. Most of the boxes contained Spanish gold and silver coins, as well as cast gold and silver and ingots, as well as some silverware and some jewelry, gold, silver, and pearl necklaces and inlays. Cup with gems.

"These items were owned by the Spanish in the early 17th century during the Spanish colonial America." Count Hill began. "This should be a pirate treasure."

锐 Chen Rui nodded and agreed with Earl Hill's statement.

Due to its excellent natural conditions and its geographical location, Tortuga Island is located in the hinterland of the Caribbean Sea. Under the pressure of the Spaniards, the exile criminals and the sailors gradually organized, and in the early 17th century, they evolved into the pirate gang "Coast Brothers," These "Coastal Brothers" were famous for their illegal invaders and pirates.

Then, the island of Tortuga became a famous island of pirates during the great voyage.

No wonder the pirate's treasure was found on the island.

Chen Rui picked up a turquoise ring with a phalanx in a box full of precious stones and looked at it. Then he touched the section of the phalanx and said, "This finger is cut off. As you can imagine, The pirates on Tortuga island were robbing a Spanish ship and killing everyone on board. The crew with the turquoise ring was cut off their fingers and the ring was taken away. Then, the pirate took the ring The robbed treasure is buried here. "

锐 Chen Rui counted it.

Suddenly, I found a diary and a badge in a small box.

The diary is bound in Chinese paper.

3 From the 3rd to 13th centuries AD, parchment and papyrus were widely used in European countries, and gradually replaced by Chinese paper from the 14th century.

The text above is in Spanish, and Chen Rui cannot understand.

The badger is a wolf head. It is said that in the Middle Ages, some regions of Spain and Italy liked to use the wolf as a badge pattern, which means bravery and tenacity.

Obviously, these are the belongings of a Saipan on a Spanish ship that was plundered by a pirate, and this Saipan has a high status on the ship, and was born in the noble family in the Spanish.

锐 Chen Rui put away the diary and badge and waited for it to study it carefully.

"Rui, come and see what I find," said Count Hill excitedly.

This is a parchment book with only a dozen sheets.

Although in the 14th century, Chinese paper was widely used in writing documents in European countries, sometimes parchment was still used to show solemnity.

For example, when writing important legal documents.

的 The text on the parchment is written in English.

锐 Chen Rui picked it up, opened the pages of the book, and read the above English: Free Flying Fish Code. First, everyone has equal voting rights in all daily affairs. Second, those who steal the property of their associates will be abandoned on the desert island. 3. Gambling on board is strictly prohibited.

Hmm ..., nine, people who are disabled in the battle can stay on the boat without work. In the battle, they can get 600 pesos for losing their right hand, 500 pesos for losing their left hand, and so on.

10. When sharing loot, the captain and the helmsman are divided into two parts. The gunner, chef, doctor, and sailor captain can be divided into one and two parts, and the other staff members can be divided into one and one quarter. The average sailor gets one Serving.

Freedom flying fish, not known in the history of Caribbean pirates.

He waited for Chen Rui to finish reading the Free Flying Fish Code, and a white old man next to him said in surprise, "This is the pirate law of the" Coast Brothers. "

As a result of this piracy law established under strict discipline and the concept of equality, the 'Coast Brothers' developed into a powerful gang in the mid-17th century, controlling the entire Antilles.

Later laws compiled by Morgan and Bartholomew containing the Pirates' Guild. Morgan Code bound by more than a thousand pages of parchment is likely to be based on these unwritten pirate laws of the Coast Brothers. Compiled. At this point, the old white man paused, and then said, "Although this Free Flying Fish Code, made up of more than a dozen parchments, is very original and simple, it is an earlier version than the Morgan Code. The documents of the pirates on the code of conduct for the distribution, restraint, and regulations of articles, which are determined in written form, are very valuable. "

"When it comes to value, these dozen boxes of treasures, including the‘ Flying Fish Code ’, can be worth at least tens of millions of dollars,” someone interjected.

"Melted gold, silver and precious stones are calculated according to international gold, silver and precious stones prices.

Spanish gold and silver coins have a very high collection value. The most expensive Spanish gold coin can be worth tens of thousands of dollars ~ www.readwn.com ~ the cheapest can also be worth hundreds of dollars.

In addition, gold, silver and pearl jewelry also have a very high collection value.

The most valuable thing is the very original Pirate Code.

的 The total valuation of these treasures should be between $ 40 million and $ 50 million. "A knowledgeable expert estimated the value of these treasures.

"The island purchase fee is only 77.81 million US dollars. This batch of treasure alone is worth 40-50 million US dollars. It is more than half the cost. It is simply too valuable."

－－

Pirate treasures have been discovered on Tortuga Island, with treasures worth up to 40-50 million US dollars, once again attracting the attention of people all over the world.

Suddenly, Chen Rui, the owner of the treasure, once again became the focus of attention all over the world.

锐 Chen Rui ordered the guards to transport the treasure to a safe place for safekeeping.

Chen Rui plans to build an exhibition hall on the surface where the pirate's treasure is found. Everything that comes out this time is the exhibition hall exhibits.

The cellar will expand dozens of times to become a huge underground space of more than 1,000 square meters, strengthen and establish various protection measures, so that the cellar can effectively prevent fire, moisture, insects, and keep constant temperature.
