"Liulichang since the Qing Dynasty after Qianlong, is the distribution center of the study and antiques, this gloomy wooden box is the Republic of China, presumably a certain antique dealer obtained. Zhong Yu took Yu Yao's words.

Yu Yao had already picked up the gloomy wooden box at this time. Jin Si Nan gloomy wood is very light, although the size of this wooden box is not small, but it is effortless to hold in the hand.

Yu Yao looked left and right, but he didn't find any marks or anything like that from the gloomy wooden box. And on that piece of tarpaulin, there is no clue to be identified, it is a clean tarpaulin.

"This wooden box, the size is very suitable, obviously, it is customized for the ancient sword. Yu Yao muttered as he watched.

Zhong Yu said, "This is normal, it may be that I got this ancient sword during the Republic of China, and I customized the wooden box for collection." ”

"Nope. Yu Yao shook his head, "I mean, judging from his custom wooden box, it is already destined to be buried underground. ”

Saying this, Zhong Yudeng understood. In other words, this person intended to bury it at the beginning of his obtain, otherwise he would not have chosen the material of gloomy wood.

The golden silk nan is gloomy wood, although it is not very ugly, but it is not very suitable either. It is relatively light, and because of carbonization, the color is dark and dark. And the biggest advantage is that the anti-corrosion performance is invincible.

If you want to collect Hanguang Chengying by yourself, or resell it, such a valuable thing is most suitable for top-quality wood such as rosewood pear. Taking 10,000 steps back, even for the sake of economy, such a large piece of golden silk nan gloomy wood is not easy to find, and it is better to use other mahogany materials.

"It's kind of interesting to plan to bury it when you get it, and you haven't taken it in the end, so it's buried in the ground for so long. Xiao Ying groaned, took out his mobile phone and called the landlord. When the landlord heard that it was Xiao Ying, he was very respectful, and when he heard that he inquired about the history of the house, he even more seriously stated it; because there was a "practice" in front of him, he felt that Xiao Ying was trying to completely remove the "yin qi".

When Xiao Ying was on the phone, Yu Yao and Zhong Yu also listened to it, but when they hung up the phone, Xiao Ying still gave them a look:

According to the landlord, this house was also an antique shop during the Republic of China, called Zhen Song Ge, and the shopkeeper's surname was Qiu. At the end of 1948, on the eve of the peaceful liberation of Beiping, the situation was a bit chaotic, and the shopkeeper Qiu was killed by several thieves in the store, and his son sold the store after holding a funeral. And the landlord's grandfather is the buyer. ”

The reason why this shop is called Zhen Song Pavilion is because Qiu shopkeeper has three famous utensils of the Song Dynasty, including Ge kiln, Jun kiln and Longquan kiln, which is the treasure of the town store and is not sold. And these thieves are also going for these things. Because the world was chaotic at that time, the shopkeeper Qiu happened to take things home and hide them a few days before he was killed, so the thieves didn't get it, and they got angry during the interrogation, causing a murder tragedy.

"This shopkeeper Qiu sounds like a particular person. If the sword had been hidden by him, it would not have been said that there would be no explanation. Yu Yao said, "But judging from the current situation, he didn't tell his descendants." ”

"He was killed, maybe he didn't have time. ”

"It shouldn't. The famous kiln porcelain in his shop has been returned home in advance, and such a rare and famous sword should also have an explanation. Yu Yao said, picking up the gloomy wooden box again.

"Look again?" Xiao Ying smiled helplessly.

Yu Yao also smiled, but the movement of his hand did not stop, this time, he groped for the inside and bottom of the box with his fingers.

When Xiao Ying and Zhong Yu saw Yu Yao so persevering, they didn't bother him, they simply sat down and watched quietly.

Yu Yao is actually a "blind test", what clues can be found best, and if you can't find it, there is no way.

As a result, he really found the clue.

At the inner end of the wooden box, the gap between the vertical surface and the bottom surface, under the touch of his fingernails, Yu Yao felt a little loose.

Eventually, the vertical side of the box could be removed! And it wasn't complicated, it was just a living mortise and tenon. This one is alive, and the rest is dead.

When the square vertical plank is removed, there is a slot inside.

The empty slot is deeper, but it is also thinner, and it is stuffed inside, which looks like folded stationery.

"Hey, I really let you find something!" Zhong Yu looked at it, "It seems that the person who hides the sword wants to explain something, and this secret grid is very simple." ”

"His hidden sword is so secretive, if the sword is discovered, it must not be complicated if he wants to confess. Yu Yao said, pulling out the letterhead.

There are two pieces of letterhead, and the head of the desk reads: "Brother Tai Yajian: If this thing is not taken by me again, it will be obtained by you, and I don't know who you are, let's call it Brother Tai······"

When Yu Yao saw it, Xiao Ying and Zhong Yu also came up, and after reading it, the three of them couldn't help but look at each other, their expressions were a little complicated.

"The co-author should be the return of the object to its original owner!" Zhong Yu took the lead in speaking.

The content of the letter is presented smoothly and clearly. This ancient sword is not the stuff of the shopkeeper Qiu. And judging by the contents of the letter, he didn't know where the sword came from. When he got it, it was just wrapped in the outer layer of oilcloth, and the gloomy wooden sword box was indeed his backing.

And the person who handed over the sword to the shopkeeper Qiu was "Mr. Xu Taiyan of Gegu Zhai"!

This shopkeeper Qiu, who opened a store in Liulichang with Xu Taiyan, has known each other for a long time, and the shopkeeper Qiu also admires Xu Taiyan.

On the day he got this sword, the shopkeeper Qiu took something and wanted to go to Gegu Zhai to find Xu Taiyan for identification, but after going, Xu Taiyan seemed to be in a hurry, and hurriedly handed over a thing tied with oilcloth to him, and asked him to help put it away, saying that he would pick it up another day, and asked him to leave quickly, and he would talk about it tomorrow, "This place is not suitable for a long time."

Seeing this, the three of them were all stunned and exchanged glances with each other. It seems that Xu Taiyan has planned to send him away, but the person who answered did not arrive on time, and the shopkeeper Qiu was temporarily arrested as a "strong man".

Although Shopkeeper Qiu didn't know what to do, he still listened to Xu Taiyan. Soon after he went out, he turned around and saw several Japanese people coming, two of whom were still wearing military uniforms.

There is a person who is also known to the shopkeeper Qiu, because this person often "patronizes" the glass factory, and he is also very famous, he is the notorious antique dealer of the Japanese kingdom - Yasujiro Nakatani.

It was the third day of September 1938. At that time, the Japanese had already occupied Beiping.

That day was also the last time Shopkeeper Qiu saw Xu Taiyan.

The next day, the news of Xu Taiyan's death came out, or rather, his life and death were uncertain and disappeared.

After another two days, Shopkeeper Qiu saw that it was impossible for Xu Taiyan to take the things, so he opened the oilcloth bag and found that it was an ancient sword. Shopkeeper Qiu's specialty is porcelain, and he is not very good at bronze weapons, but he can't find others to see it. This sword, although it looks unsightly, but Mr. Xu's things, he feels that they should not be ordinary!
