Nicholas II naturally saw this as well. To be on the safe side, he began to transport the large amount of wealth concentrated in Petrograd abroad for fear that it would be wiped out.

As a result, Nicholas II himself probably didn't expect that he would step down so cleanly. On the first day of the February Revolution, he was driven out of office in disgrace, and his whole family was imprisoned. He probably didn't expect that Mr. Vladimir would be so cruel. His family was imprisoned for less than a year and a half, and was sent to the guillotine in Yekaterinburg...

To explain it in modern terms, Nicholas II is a typical example of "having money but no life to spend it", "the money is there, but the life is gone"...

But no matter what, combining these two pieces of information can directly prove that Nicholas II did secretly transport out some precious antique artworks from the Winter Palace along with 1,600 tons of gold from the Petrograd treasury.

And at least all this wealth was transported to Kazan!

In the subsequent materials, Yang Jing also found information that the Nyamto people had found from a very sensitive department in Moscow. These materials were all left by the Cheka at that time. Among them were several files from before and after the execution of Nicholas II's family in 1918, which also contained Nicholas II's confession.

Cheka is a very famous organization. After the October Revolution in Russia, under the direct instructions of Vladimir, "use extraordinary means to fight all counter-revolutionaries", a special department, Cheka, was established by the Polish-born White Russian aristocrat Dzerzhinsky. Its full name is "All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for the Suppression of Counter-Revolution and Sabotage", abbreviated as the All-Russian Counter-Revolutionary Commission. Cheka is the transliteration of the Russian abbreviation.

The KGB, which became famous in later generations, was the predecessor of the Cheka.

The Cheka's information was naturally highly confidential, and it was not easy for Niamh to take advantage of the collapse of the Soviet Union to obtain this information.

However, precisely because these materials come from archives created just after the Cheka was established, the credibility of these materials is still very high.

However, even Nicholas II's confession did not reveal where the treasure was transported to. In the confession, Nicholas II only said that after the wealth was transported out of Petrograd, the first destination was Kazan. According to Nicholas II's instructions, if the situation improved at that time, the wealth would be transported back to Petrograd. If the situation continued to deteriorate, the escort would hand over the wealth to General Kolchak who was in Omsk at the time as agreed in advance.

Nicholas II also said in his confession that he did not expect the situation to deteriorate so badly, so he only knew that the wealth was transported to Kazan, but where it was transported from Kazan to and whether General Kolchak actually received the wealth, even Nicholas II himself did not know.

Yang Jing, who had been searching through the materials for two days and one night, only stopped his clues here.

However, Yang Jing knew very well that the wealth must have fallen into Kolchak's hands. At least one thing was guaranteed, that the precious antique artworks from the Winter Palace fell into Kolchak's hands. After all, the treasures that Yang Jing seized from Siberia were secretly transported to the Taimyr Peninsula by General Kolchak's guard chief Kuvaevich Antonov according to Kolchak's orders.

As for the 1,600 tons of gold, how much Kolchak actually got, Yang Jing didn't know. But from the message in Antonov's treasure map, Yang Jing could also analyze that Kolchak at least got a batch of gold at that time, otherwise Antonov's message would not mention that Kolchak led the army and the people and the gold to continue to advance eastward.

In other words, at least part of the 1,600 tons of gold fell into Kolchak's hands, but as to whether it was all of it, that is not known.

Looking at these piles of old documents, Yang Jing couldn't help but have a headache.

In the end, he put all the information into the space, ready to slowly analyze it when he had time.

Anyway, the gold had been lost for more than 70 years, and even after 30 years, it had not been found. So Yang Jing was not in a hurry and just slowly analyzed the information.
