This news did not cause much of a sensation in the United Kingdom, most British people did not know what level of antiques the heirloom jade seal was, they only knew that Earl Smith, who they loved to collect antique treasures the most, seemed to have a new treasure in his hand. It's just that this treasure is a Chinese treasure.
However, when the news was reprinted back to China, it was completely different, causing a sensational explosion effect.
What level of the jade seal of the country, except for the legendary Xia Yu Jiuding, there is no antique that can be at the same level as the Chinese civilization for thousands of years.
The material of this jade seal itself is a legend that can be exchanged for fifteen cities and the family's bi, and later after the processing of Qin Shi Huang, given the color of supreme imperial power, and passed down from generation to generation, until the royal family of the Song Dynasty, it can be said that it is a symbol of China's imperial power for thousands of years, and can be called the first treasure of ancient China.
This treasure disappeared in the Yuan Dynasty, and there is a legend that the Yuan Dynasty was brought back to the grassland by the Mongols when it fell, and one of the reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di continued to conquer the grassland was to find the jade seal of the country.
Such treasures, which had disappeared for hundreds of years, appeared in England, and were still in the hands of an English earl. Naturally, the news immediately became a sensation in the country.
But first, everyone is skeptical about the authenticity of the news. After all, this is a national heirloom jade seal that has disappeared for hundreds of years, how could it suddenly appear in the hands of the British.
"Really? Oh my God, the jade seal of the country has appeared? Or is it in the hands of the British? This can't be. ā

Netizens said one after another, and they all questioned the news. Of course, the appearance of such treasures is not only a sensation among netizens, but also domestic museums and archaeological teams, and they have questioned the news.
But soon, a second piece of news came.
The news introduces the origin of this heirloom jade seal, it turns out that the ancestor of Earl Smith accidentally obtained it more than a hundred years ago when he was fighting in Central Asia, and Central Asia was indeed within the control of the Yuan Dynasty at the time of the Yuan Dynasty.
What's more, this Earl Smith also invited several of the most famous antique treasure appraisal agencies in the world to confirm the authenticity of this heirloom jade seal. And among these appraisal institutions, there are even Chinese archaeologists.
After several rounds of appraisal, these appraisal agencies unanimously determined that the heirloom jade seal obtained by Earl Smith was the heirloom jade seal that had been lost in China.
There is no doubt that what this Earl of Smith has in his hands is the real thing.
The news spread, and the country exploded completely.

Netizens said one after another, everyone was jubilant.
You must know that the disappearance of the heirloom jade seal can be said to be the biggest loss of ancient Chinese treasures. This piece of jade seal, in ancient times, can cause a group of heroes to compete for hegemony, and in modern times, it is also a treasure with extremely strong symbolic significance. Not to mention, its own Hebi material.
Many netizens have heard since they were children that the jade seal of the country has disappeared for hundreds of years, and they are quite sorry, thinking that this jade seal should be recovered.
However, there has been no news.
Unexpectedly, now, I suddenly heard the news. The heirloom jade seal actually appeared, so netizens were jubilant, the museum and the archaeological community were also jubilant, and everyone was very happy about the appearance of this heirloom jade seal.
Of course, in addition to jubilation, the first thing that netizens and scholars thought of was naturally to get back the heirloom jade seal from the hands of this British Earl Smith.
"The appearance of the jade seal of the country is a great thing, but this is our Chinese treasure and cannot fall into the hands of the British. ā
"That is, no matter what, we have to get the heirloom jade seal back, how can the things of our ancestors fall into the hands of foreigners. ā

Netizens said one after another, and they all felt that they had to take back this heirloom jade seal.
Naturally, the government reacted very quickly, and immediately asked the ambassador to Britain to begin to discuss this matter with Earl Smith, and wanted Earl Smith to make a price to take back this treasure belonging to China.
"Want to buy the heirloom jade seal from me? No, no, this thing is now in my hands, and it is mine. I'm not short of money, and I won't sell it no matter how much money you pay, and now he's my treasure. ā
Soon, there was a response from Earl Smith. This Earl of Smith refused to sell the heirloom jade seal to China.
After the news came back to China, netizens were a little stupid, and they didn't expect that this Earl Smith would not sell. even said that he was not short of money, and now the jade seal of the country is his thing.
"It's really shameless, this heirloom jade seal is obviously our China, and he actually said that it was his. ā

"Who is this Earl Smith? ā
Netizens have been discussing this matter on the Internet, and they are a little indignant, feeling that this Smith is really too shameless. Others were curious about Smith's identity and wanted to see who he was.
Therefore, these netizens found out the identity of this Earl Smith.
I don't know if I don't check this, and I'm shocked when I check it.
It turned out that this Earl Smith turned out to be an avid collector, often reselling cultural relics all over the world, and many cultural relics from ancient civilizations were secretly bought by him into his own home. This matter of passing on the jade seal of the country is not the first time he has done it.
And more importantly, this guy turned out to be an anti-China faction. His ancestors were famous British hawks, who burned and looted all over the world more than 100 years ago, and many of his collections were also robbed by his ancestors around the world. Even his ancestors once participated in the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance.
The heirloom jade seal is not the only Chinese antique artifact in his family's collection.
This guy is a British earl at best, but a robber who steals cultural relics from various countries.
"This guy, no wonder he's so shameless, so that's the case. ā
After learning about the life and deeds of this Earl Smith, netizens gritted their teeth and said. However, their hearts were cold, and they knew that it was basically impossible to buy back the heirloom jade seal from him.
