Reborn in the 60s, starting with going to the mountains and countryside

After checking everything upstairs and finding nothing missing, Ye Hao turned his attention to the basement again.

The basement was still as quiet as before. Ye Hao didn't pay attention to the master and servant, but focused on the entire basement.

In addition to some red wine in the corner, this wine cellar also has a lot of brandy and wine that Ye Hao doesn't recognize.

Ignoring these hidden wines, Ye Hao's thoughts came to behind Barnes.

Without his thoughts, Ye Hao would have thought that what was behind him was an incomprehensible child's graffiti.

But Ye Hao, who had a mind, noticed that there was a space behind the graffiti.

This space is not an imaginary treasure room, nor is it an arms warehouse.

The layout inside is very simple, with only a bookshelf of books, a table, and a chair.

There is a thirty centimeter long box studded with various gemstones and gold on the table.

As soon as he looked at the box, Ye Hao knew that the contents inside were anything but simple. This box alone was definitely worth a lot of money in this era.

Ye Hao was a little disappointed when his mind entered the box. It was not the gold and silver jewelry he imagined. Instead, there was a piece of skin of an unknown animal lying quietly inside.

Out of curiosity, Ye Hao carefully observed the animal skin. If he guessed correctly, it should be a sheepskin chart.

There are dots of circles on it, it looks like it should be an island. However, because the picture was a bit abstract, Ye Hao couldn't tell where it was on the sea map.

But this is not important, I will study it later. Anyway, it's just a chart, not a treasure map. I just don't know what's so important about this chart that it allows Barnes to store it in such an exquisite box.

Looking at the bookshelf next to him, Ye Hao found that most of them were dated. He looked at a random book and the contents inside were shocking. Soon Ye Hao read all the books on the shelf. It was really interesting. I want to kill Barnes right now.

These books, no, they shouldn’t be called books, they should be called diaries. They were handed down from Barnes’ great-grandfather. In addition to the diary written by Barnes’ great-grandfather, there are also those written by Barnes’ grandfather, his father, and Barnes himself. Diary, which records the events of the entire Barnes family for more than a hundred years.

As for why Ye Hao had the urge to kill Barnes, it was mainly because of Grandpa Barnes' diary.

In Grandpa Barnes's diary, he was a small officer who followed the coalition forces to invade the Dragon Kingdom.

The diary records how they used guns and cannons to break open the gate of a large Eastern country that looked powerful but was actually as weak as ants, and how they later burned, killed, and looted this country.

Seeing the beastly behavior of these people, Ye Hao almost couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.

If he hadn't thought that Barnes still had some use value, he would have killed him now.

From these diaries, Ye Hao also knew the details of the sheepskin navigation chart just now.

It was left behind by Barnes' great-grandfather. Barnes' great-grandfather was an adventurer. When he was young, he followed sea ships on expeditions around the world. The chart recorded was that of the Solomon Islands.

The reason why the descendants of the Barnes family value this sheepskin chart so much is mainly because of a rumor that Barnes' great-grandfather recorded in his diary.

According to the diary of Barnes' great-grandfather, it was often spread among their adventurers at that time that King Solomon's treasure trove of gold was transferred to what is now called the Solomon Islands after several twists and turns.

Countless adventurers and treasure hunters have traveled across the ocean to search for treasures in the Solomon Islands. As for the parchment chart, it was obtained by Barnes' great-grandfather at a great cost. It was said to record the secret of King Solomon's treasure, but he did not write it clearly in the diary.

Later, Grandpa Barnes’s diary also recorded his father’s situation at that time. One day, his father suddenly said that he had cracked the secret on the parchment chart and was going to find the treasure of King Solomon. He left the parchment chart and left. From then on Just never came back.

For so many years, the descendants of the Barnes family have been trying to find the secret of the parchment chart, but after so many years, nothing has been discovered. Until now, Barnes only thinks it is a legend, and this chart is also It has been stored in that box.

When he was a child, Barnes still had fantasies about deciphering the secrets inside and finding the legendary treasure of King Solomon. However, after experiencing the baptism of war, Barnes no longer had this idea.

Through these diaries, Ye Hao also learned about the past of this family. It can only be said that there is no good person in this family. Starting from Barnes' great-grandfather, the adventurers at that time were simply robbers. They massacred the natives with guns in their hands. , for a little gold, his hands were stained with blood, and he even killed several of his treasure-hunting companions for money.

Not to mention Barnes's grandfather, who invaded the Dragon Kingdom with the coalition forces, and his hands were stained with the blood of Dragon Kingdom civilians. The oriental antiques and artworks in the castle are all trophies that Grandpa Barnes snatched back from the Dragon Kingdom.

As for Barnes's father, he took advantage of the war going on all over the world to start a business using 'smoking soil' and sold 'smoking soil' to Europe and even Asia, killing countless people directly or indirectly.

In the end, Barnes can only be said to be better than his master. Under the influence of his father, he began to be exposed to gray and black 'industries' since he was a child. When his father asked him to take over the business, he soon became dissatisfied with the profits from 'Yantu' and began to resell weapons.

At that time, the whole world was at war, the price of weapons was rising, and demand exceeded supply.

Using money to clear the way, Barnes quickly bribed an officer from John Bull's country and began to obtain active weapons from them at low prices, and then sold them to people in other countries at high prices, thus grabbing a considerable amount of wealth.

Using the money he earned, he began to hire retired soldiers and expand his business. Until now, Barnes' influence spreads across all countries in Europe.

In addition, Ye Hao also saw the man named Bob from the diary.

Bob is Barnes' son, but an illegitimate one.

Because he had too many enemies when he was young, several of his children died in accidents. By the time Barnes reacted, it was already too late. He was old, and his wife, including his lover, could not get pregnant no matter how hard he worked.

Until an accident, a young girl became pregnant with Barnes' child.

Worried about another accident, Barnes did not take the girl home, but secretly left a sum of money. In order not to be suspected, Barnes did not dare to give too much money at one time, and could only guarantee the basic food and clothing for the mother and son.

Twenty years later, that child grew up and was the Bob that Ye Hao saw today.
