Chapter 15: An Unexpected Surprise
"This is ......" opened the box, Li Jun couldn't believe that what he saw was true.
He rubbed his eyes and pinched his thighs hard to make sure it wasn't a dream.
What Li Jun saw was actually a gem, lying quietly in the box, constantly exuding a dazzling brilliance, so that he almost didn't dare to look at it directly.
"Smack......
Li Jun closed the lid tightly, he knew the meaning of the words "Huai Bi Qi", although he was the only one at home now, but deep down he was still afraid of being seen.
His mind was now almost in a state of panic, and even a person like him, who was almost an idiot to jewelry and antiques, could see at a glance that this gem was extraordinary, but such a valuable gem was abandoned in an abandoned bunker.
He couldn't think of a reason why no one had opened the bunker and taken the contents for decades, it all didn't make sense.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Jun was never able to get an answer.
"Maybe it's just a prank, but someone just got a copy and put it there. ”
He tried to convince himself with this reason, but he realized that although the box had only been opened for a short moment, the brilliance of the gem did not look like a fake.
Although he only had a glimpse of it, he saw a stacked piece of white silk next to the gem, and if nothing else, the white silk should have a record of the origin of the gem.
Li Jun took out the white silk and saw what was written on it:
"Ikawa Daisa, these gems are the ones I got from a Nanyang merchant, and they are said to have been lost from King John's crown, and they are worth a fortune. Today, I will dedicate it to Dazuo, hoping to keep my family safe. ”
"Phew!"
After reading the contents of the letter, Li Jun couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, feeling disgusted for the character of the original owner of this gem.
At that time, there were too many such people that made a good country almost perish.
But anger is anger, and Li Jun didn't dwell on this matter for too long.
He turned on his computer and wanted to find information about the gem on the Internet.
Type in "King John's crown jewels" in the search box and see the information you want.
"The British Crown is recognised as being made from some of the most dazzling gemstones. The crown is used in the coronation ceremony, and it is usually guarded in the Tower of London. These guards are specially trained royal guards. These Tower of London guards have also become one of the most famous sights outside the Tower of London.
The crown has changed hands, been stolen, and damaged many times. This misfortune also happened to King John, who in 1216 attempted to cross Worth Bay in Lincolnshire. As he miscalculated the approaching tide, his luggage sank into the sea as a result. What was in his luggage? Crown! Then he contracted dysentery and died.
Due to the rough tides and turbid waters, this bay area is extremely dangerous. Still, treasure hunters flock to Walsh Bay year after year, hoping to find something. ”
Seeing this, Li Jun couldn't help but take a deep breath, according to what was said above, this gem had been lost for hundreds of years, but no one thought that it had been obtained long ago, and then it was put in an abandoned bunker for decades. If it's true, it's really worth a fortune.
"I didn't expect such a big gift to be hidden in the treasure map. ”
Although Li Jun had always looked forward to the treasure in the treasure map, he never imagined that it would be such a precious thing. However, it is too early to say anything, and if you want to confirm the true value of the gemstone, you still need to find a professional to appraise it.
It was still early for his mother to return from work, Li Jun carried the box containing the precious stones in his arms and headed for the only silver building in the small city......
……
The salesman in the silver building looked Li Jun up and down with suspicious eyes.
From the outside, Li Jun is just a half-grown child, and he doesn't dress like a rich man, and he doesn't look like he can afford jewelry.
And after coming in, he looked like he wanted to say something, and looked at the person next to him who was choosing jewelry, and looked a little anxious. This appearance is inevitably suspicious.
"Excuse me, how can I help you?"
The professionalism of the salesman is not bad, although Li Jun looks like this, he still comes forward to ask very politely.
"Excuse me, can you ask your jeweler here to come out?" Li Jun replied decently, speaking in a tone that did not match his appearance.
This remark aroused the suspicion of the salesperson even more. Usually the customers who come here are directly selected from the counter, and there is never a jeweler like him.
Feeling the confusion in the salesman's eyes, Li Jun said again: "Or you can find your boss." ”
Li Jun understood that if the gem in his arms was genuine, looking for the salesperson in front of him would definitely not solve the problem, so he simply went straight to find someone who could be the master.
The two security guards who had been dozing off at the door seemed to notice something unusual on their side, and one of them got up and walked over to them.
The salesman looked at Li Jun again, and saw the firmness in Li Jun's eyes, which didn't look like he was joking.
"Okay, you can take a seat. I'm going to go and the boss come over. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to the side and motioned for Li Jun to sit down.
After settling in, he whispered a few words to the other two salesmen, opened a door behind the counter, and walked in.
