Chapter 563: Treasure, it’s all mine

The assistant producer was right, the viewers were enjoying Muyang’s mini lecture so much and some were paying attention so much as if he was an actual history professor teaching a class. Even his friends and fellow professors who were watching the live broadcast on a laptop together in a gazebo in the park in the emperor’s courts thought so, and Professor Kang Yuze commented on it.

"I think he should switch fields." he said.

Professor Tao Yichen laughed, "No way, he would go crazy if he was teaching something that does not involve calculations, money and economic growth. He only knows these things because reading is his favorite hobby and he will read anything."

"You have to admit though, he has had a fun vacation. His summer has been better than ours." Huang Bolin commented.

Muyang wrapped up his explanation and Pd Rao smiled, it was time to get to the best part. "Get in the water now, we have lost at least ten minutes already."

"Everyone, now comes the fun part and the surprise, the historian was right about the rising water tide and the storm which forced the ship to go off course. General Cong did not see it because it sailed another way and sunk, leaving no survivor. We located the sunken Saoning ship wreck or what was left of it and we are going to find what is left of it."

Many viewers were suddenly jolted awake, the myth had been solved, the ship was real and it had been located. Could it really be true?

[Oh my God!! is this real?]

[Sunken pirate treasure how much wealth would that be?]

[I am calling all my friends to make sure that we all witness this moment.]

The old master, his wife and the entire Jun family that was watching the show in their apartment in the cold town was stunned. A sunken pirate ship from that century, one could only imagine what was among the contents. "Did they tell you about this?"

"No," the old madam shook her head.

Ringo and Cherry had returned and they were staying with the elders for a few days. They too were watching the live broadcast as Ringo and little monk unscrewed a few toys uncle Chi Wei had sent over.

"Those things belong to the empire, I bet helicopters with armed soldiers and the coast guard is already heading there way." Ringo commented.

"They will not be allowed to keep even a single coin if there is anything down there." He Weili said. "This is like dressing up a bride for someone else to come and take."

The Chi’s were watching too and Chi Rui shook his head, "Midas Chi indeed." he said.

"Am I the only one who thinks it’s so simple for sister to pick up money?" Chi Zimo asked. "I swear, ever since that night last year when she found our former cousin and her fiancé cheating, everything changed."

"Buddha blessed her for enduring so much suffering, don’t ruin your sister’s luck." Mama Chi commented.

"CEO are you sure about this?" Pd Rao was among the many to be surprised because he thought this was an exploration not an actual find. He was shaking in excitement, rubbing his hands like a greedy man sitting before a buffet.

"Everyone, follow us." Chi Lian waved at the camera and both she and Muyang entered a submersible mini submarine that dived into the water.

This submersible was one of four which were available on the submarine. It could sit two people and it was suitable for underwater exploration especially in tight or rocky underwater areas like this one.

[What did they just get into?]

[I feel like I am watching a sci-fi movie, please explain that underwater vehicle.]

[Which company designed that submersible and how much did you pay for it? How much oxygen can it hold? Does it only carry two people? What depth can it dive?]

[Can I search for sunken treasure too if I have one of those things?]

[Tell us about the process you followed to discover the sunken ship, was there a map, secret codes or things like that?]

"CEO," Pd Rao said to Chi Lian, "I think we should end the live broad cast here and record this footage. It can be turned into a special VIP episode for pay."

She wagged her finger at the camera, indicating a clear no.

"How deep down have we gone?" she asked Muyang. "This is the right place, right?"

"Three hundred meters, oxygen is good and we are touching down, I see something." The bright lights of the submersible shined on the first view of the Saoning ship wrecks, at the bottom of the rocky end of the islands. Most of the ship had disintegrated over the years even though gaping iron structure remained.

[I heard CEO Jun say three hundred meters, how deep is that?]

[Holy smokes, it’s really real]

[That’s it, I see something, is it the sunken ship wrecks?]

[Please auction whatever you find here on the live broadcast.]

Muyang turned the lights on brighter and the grainy images became vivid, and the viewers got a glimpse at the shiny treasures which were vast. Chi Lian could not count the number of coins, gold and silver which were glittering. It was not just gold and jewels, there was kitchenware, ceramics, canons, weapons, personal belongings and other things.

The pirates had robbed all sorts of ships, those that carried valuable things and those that carried food, textiles, weapons, people.

"Everyone, can you see this?" Chi Lian asked. "My Midas gift has located the treasure. Everyone knows the law of the empire, you keep what you find underwater."

Viewers in their homes all over the empire were stimulated on seeing so much treasure that was just lying there at the bottom of the Saoning islands all this time. Why didn’t they ever take a chance and go diving over there?

Chi Lian had been right on something else covering up Rize’s controversial wedding gown because all the news articles at the moment were speaking of the lost sunken treasure. Headlines were being churned out by the second about the treasure, truthful or false.

Even the emperor in the palace got the news and he paced back and forth as he commanded the navy to get to the scène and block it off. It was surely going to turn into a shark fest as everyone tried to get to the Islands and loot what they could.

"Are you seeing this?" the grand emperor entered the main palace while shouting?

"I am." the emperor replied.

"She can’t keep it." the grand emperor said.

"I know." the emperor replied.

Pd Rao and his team were struggling to keep the screen clear with hundreds of comments being sent in at the same time. The viewer count had gone up to one hundred million, something even he had never seen before.

[Mummy, I am on my knees right now.]

[This is enough to feed all of us in the empire for years, it’s public treasure, you can’t keep it.]

[Our empire is rich, we are rich.]

The door leading to the recording studio was opened abruptly and gun wielding soldiers entered.

The assistant Pd and others on the team raised their hands in shock, afraid and wondering what was to follow. Why were soldiers invading their work place?

"What is this?" Pd Rao asked.

"Turn it off, now." a soldier ordered him sternly.

Pd Rao was very unwilling to switch off the channel, this was a violation of their rights. Influence over the media was not legal, this was a crime. "You have no right to make such a demand...."

The soldier produced an official document and soldiers pulled out a few cords and the screen went blank.
