After leaving the Yamanashi Prefectural Archives, Shuichi Hayashi and Kanako already have a plan for the next step, and they plan to visit Saito Konobo, the discoverer of the treasures of Ubutuiji Temple who was famous seven years ago and is also a professor of history and archaeology at Yamanashi University.

Among all the records of the discovery of treasures, the only one that stands out from the crowd is the discovery of Jin Xiaoju of the Warring States Period in the river at the foot of Futusi Mountain 7 years ago. This incident caused a great sensation at the time, and NHK TV even released a special episode about it.

It is said that after Saito Konozo heard the legend about the treasures of Ubutuiji Temple, he has been quietly studying the whereabouts of these treasures. He believes that the samurai killed at Futu Temple were not unknown, but the last descendants of Takeda Nobukatsu, a descendant of the Takeda family, and that the treasures escorted by the samurai may contain the last clue to Takeda Shingen's burial gold, a great fortune accumulated throughout his life.

Because they still had to stay in Kofu City the next day, Lin Shuichi and Kanako didn't plan to rush back to Futu Village. They plan to wait until they meet Professor Saito the next day before going back. Since there is no progress in the case now, and I was originally here for a vacation. So after the two booked a hotel in Kofu City (don't think about it), they simply visited the local places of interest together.

During the Warring States period, Yamanashi Prefecture was known as Kai Province. It was here that the famous Takeda Shingen originated. Kofu City, the base of the Takeda clan, is home to a large number of historic sites from the Warring States period and the Edo period. After a short rest at the hotel, Hayashi Shuichi and Kanako came to Kofu Castle together to experience the history of the place.

Although the builders of Kofu Castle were not members of the Takeda clan, but Tokugawa Ieyasu, who destroyed the Takeda clan. However, as a generation of military artists in the Warring States period, Kofu Castle still displays many cultural relics related to the Takeda clan. And it was here that Lin Xiuyi saw for the first time the golden judgment of the Warring States Period found in the stream under the mountain of Futu Temple.

"This is the treasure of Futu Temple! Doesn't it seem to have much weight? Could it be that Professor Saito got rich overnight with this golden judgment?" Lin Xiuyi looked at the golden judgment in the display case and said with a little disappointment. Although Lin Xiuyi is not a professional collector, he has also roughly searched for the price of Jin Xiaoju on the Internet in the past few days. According to the information provided in the newspaper, Professor Saito found a total of 4 gold coins in the stream of Futu Village. If it is auctioned publicly, the price of these 4 gold judgments will only be tens of millions of yen, and this money is basically just enough to buy an ordinary building in Kofu City.

"Actually, Professor Saito didn't sell all of the four gold judgments after he got them! He chose to donate one gold judgment to the museum in Kofu City, and what we see now is the one donated by Professor Saito!" Kanako introduced to Hayashi Shuichi.

"Oh, didn't sell it, what about the remaining three?" This result was really unexpected, didn't it mean that Saito Kowang made a fortune with these treasures, and if he didn't sell these things, what did he rely on to make a fortune?

"One of the remaining three pieces was donated to Professor Saito's alma mater, Yamanashi University, and one was sold to the famous collector Goro Sakamoto's Buyando, and the other was in Professor Saito's private collection...... Kanako patiently explained to Shuichi Hayashi.

"I don't understand this, if he sells these four gold judgments, he should be able to make a lot of money! But if he donates three at once, where does his money come from?" Lin Xiuyi asked suspiciously.

"Shuichi-kun, first of all, let me ask you a question, do you know that Buyantang?" Kanako asked rhetorically.

"I really haven't heard of this!" Lin Xiuyi replied frankly.

"Then let's start with Buyantang, the most powerful private collection institution in the whole RB of Buyantang City, and its founder, Mr. Goro Sakamoto, is a world-renowned collector of RB. In the 60s, Mr. Sakamoto donated 10 bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties in the name of his mother to the Tokyo National Museum. In Europe, Mr. Sakamoto has a nickname called Little Napoleon, and it can be said that if you talk about the RB collecting world, Mr. Sakamoto is definitely the first person!" Kanako patiently explained to Lin Shuichi.

"But I still don't understand, how much money can this Professor Saito make by selling it to Jin Xiaojuan of Buyantang? And Jin Xiaojuan doesn't seem to be a particularly rare collectible, although I don't know how to collect, but I saw on the Internet that there are many surviving Jin Xiaojuan sold in antique shops in Tokyo! Since Buyantang is known for collecting fine goods, why do you still collect such ordinary things?" Lin Xiuyi asked rhetorically.

"That's what I'm going to tell you next, have you heard of Takeda Shingenyuki's Buried Gold?" asked Kanako again.

"I've heard of this somewhat! Is it a legendary heirloom treasure left by the Takeda family?" replied Lin Xiuyi.

"Yes, but to be exact, it was a huge fortune that Takeda Shingen left to his grandson Shinkatsu. Kai Province was originally a major gold producer during the Warring States period, and Takeda Shingen also set up a gold mine to mine gold. Shin Xuan Gong hoped that his grandson Shinkatsu could complete the great cause of dominating the world on his behalf, so he chose Shinkatsu's father Katsuyori as his successor. Legend has it that before his death, Shin Xuan Gong prepared a large amount of military funds for Shin Katsu and buried them in various parts of the Kai Kingdom. Kanako continued.

"So, it is said that it was Takeda Nobukatsu who died in the Futu Temple, could it be that the treasure finally fell into the hands of the monks of the Futu Temple?" Lin Xiu said with a thought of it.

"I can't imagine that the two of you are so young and so familiar with this history?"

Just as Lin Xiuyi and Kanako were discussing passionately, another person's voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Ahh

Kosuke Yamazaki said as he handed his business cards to Shuichi Hayashi and Kanako.

Lin Xiuyi quietly gave Kanako a look, and Kanako introduced it with understanding, hello, I am Kanako Kimura, a screenwriter of TV Asahi, and this is my colleague Lin Xiuyi.
