Of course, even if it is blackmail, Wang Guan can see the popularity of the Chixiao Sword and the Gongbu Sword, and even the blackmail props are related to them.

Wang Guan frowned, but he was not in a hurry. Because he believed that Cao Xiang would definitely be able to properly solve this matter.

"Brother, no kidding."

At the right time, Cao Xiang smiled kindly: "If you look at the things in our store, most of them are porcelain or calligraphy and paintings, and you will know that we do not deal in ancient weapons and objects. But go straight around the corner for 300 meters, there is a place there, I guess I am more interested in your things, you might as well take it over to see......"

"Three hundred meters around the corner?" Wang Guan thought about it, and there was an inexplicable smile on his face.

“…… That's the police station. ”

Obviously, the man knew more about the terrain in this area, and after listening to Cao Xiang's guidance, his face suddenly fell: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"It's not interesting." Cao Xiang said indifferently: "I just want to tell my brother that the state has very strict control over controlled knives, and it's best not to take them to wander around the street if you have nothing to do." ”

"Shopkeeper Cao."

While talking, it was also very coincidental that a uniformed policeman passed by the side of the street, and said hello from a distance, and he didn't mean to come over, just a polite greeting, but the face of the person who raised the broken sword in the store changed, and he hurriedly put his hand down, with a little more flattering smile on his face.

"Big brother, big brother, I'm not kidding, don't you mind......"

Some people are like this, if you are soft, he will be hard, and if you are hard, he will be soft. This person is similar, and when he found that the trick did not work, he immediately lowered his voice and begged for mercy: "I also eat with a mouthful of food, and if you think things are not good, then forget it." I'll go right away, I'll go right away. ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man was also very simple, directly threw the broken sword into the box, and then dragged the suitcase to leave. I didn't expect the box to be too worn, and as soon as he dragged it like this, the zipper broke, and a lot of things were scattered around it.

Everyone took a look and found that things were really messy, but most of them were swords. I don't know where this man got so many ancient swords. Long and short, thick and thin, there are various shapes without any repetition.

Of course, these swords also have one thing in common, and that is rotten. Not only is it tattered and tattered, but it is also in terrible condition. Not much else, the severe rust spots on the sword alone are enough to make people shake their heads. And when these swords are scattered. There was a large patch of debris and rust on the floor.

Seeing this situation, the corners of the guy's mouth twitched, and it was finally a conflict of patience and reprimand. But the unhappy expression must be overflowing, and there is no way. As an errand boy, he must be in charge of cleaning the store. It had already been cleaned, but now that this unexpected situation occurred, it must have increased his labor hours. How can he be happy.

Although he was dissatisfied, under Cao Xiang's instructions, the guy was still not very willing to help clean up. After all, compared to cleanliness and hygiene. It's better to send this person away quickly.

"Third brother."

At the same time, seeing this situation, Wang Guan nodded secretly, and originally wanted to return upstairs, but when his eyes swept away, he suddenly saw something, and his heart suddenly moved, and he immediately changed his mind and walked down quietly.

"The proprietor."

Cao Xiang hurriedly greeted and explained: "Someone came to the door with things, but I felt that these things were a little different from the direction of our business, so I had no choice but to refuse him." ”

These words were tactful enough, and even if the man understood what was going on, he would not feel harsh. But when he heard the word proprietor, he couldn't help but look up at Wang Guan, and while he was surprised that the owner of the antique shop was young, he quickly lowered his head and packed up his things.

"That's it!"

At this time, Wang Guan smiled and said casually: "It's not easy for everyone to make a living these days, as long as the things are not too bad, it means to accept one or two things." Let's work together roughly, even if it's an expansion channel......"

While speaking, Wang Guan pointed to something on the ground slightly, then waved his sleeves, turned around and went upstairs. But at the corner of the stairs, he took a deep look at Cao Xiang.

"Hmm!"

Cao Xiang's eyes flashed, and he nodded imperceptibly. As a big shopkeeper, he often faces different customers, and it is his instinct to look at his face, how can he ignore Wang Guan's hints.

At that moment, Cao Xiang had a smile on his face and a congratulatory expression: "Brother, you are lucky." Our proprietor has a good heart, look at you...... It's more pleasing to the eye......"

In fact, that man also knew that Cao Xiang wanted to say that he was pitiful, but he didn't mind, but hoped that others would treat him as a beggar and be sympathetic, and give him hundreds of thousands of dollars or something.

Of course, this is wishful thinking, Cao Xiang is not so kind, he just picked out three or four things in a bunch, and then made an offer: "Give you two hundred, it's enough." ”

"Two hundred?" The man was furious: "Send the beggars...... At least five hundred! ”

"Where can you use five hundred to send beggars, fifty dollars is more than enough." The man muttered to him, but the man pretended not to hear anything.

"Give you three hundred, just do it, if you can't forget it." Cao Xiang raised his eyebrows, a little impatient, obviously very dissatisfied with that person's inch.

"Okay, shopkeeper, you can say whatever you say." The man immediately relented and readily agreed.

Cao Xiang nodded with satisfaction, took out the money at the counter and handed it over, and then said, "What are the good things in the future...... Attention, it's really good, you can bring it here again and show it to me. If it's really good, then we will give you a price that you are satisfied with......"

After that, Cao Xiang ignored the man's flattering smile and went upstairs with his things. After turning the corner, he couldn't help but pick up the things in his hand and look at them. Not to mention the other two or three pieces, they were taken by him casually, and they were definitely of no value. It was mainly the thing that Wang Guan hinted at, but it made him quite interested.

After watching for a while, Cao Xiang thought about it, and then couldn't help but sigh. It's no wonder that people have a foundation at a young age, and they keep picking up leaks. It's not just luck, it's more importantly that you have extraordinary eyesight.

Shaking his head and sighing, Cao Xiang walked to the office and opened his mouth to flatter: "The proprietor's eyes are like a torch, which is admirable." ”

"So, I didn't look away?" Wang Guan chuckled and said, "That piece of iron, what kind of good thing is it?" ”

"Proprietor, you are humble." Cao Xiang hurriedly handed over the thing: "Where is this piece of iron, it is clearly a fragment of an antique." It's a pity that I can't see what the whole thing is. ”

During the inspection just now, Cao Xiang found the cutting marks of the iron sheet, and then studied the quality of it, and naturally it was certain that the thing was not as simple as the surface.

"I think it's ......," Wang Guan agreed, and expressed his opinion: "The first time I saw this thing, I felt something special because it was very regular. ”

"It's not that it's not neat, but it's too regular, and it doesn't look like an ordinary piece of iron. In particular, the shape looks like a cut bamboo tube, so I thought it was an armrest, but now it doesn't look like a ......."

Wang Guan studied it a little, then shook his head and said, "It's better to look away." ”

"Proprietor, it's a little early to say that you're looking away." Cao Xiang disagreed: "The rust spots are a little thick, clean them up first, and you will know what the thing may be." ”

"Okay."

Wang Guan nodded, in fact, after starting the thing, he knew that although there were many rust marks on the surface of the thing, the texture was still relatively hard, which showed that the thing had not been corrupted. It can also be seen from here that the quality of the thing should be good and worth digging into.

Anyway, it was idle, Wang Guan picked up the rag casually, and after a little palm oil, he wiped it slowly. After a while, the rust marks on the surface of the east and west gradually faded.

"Huh."

At this moment, Wang Guan found that there were some special traces on the surface of things. If you look closely, it looks like some mutilated strokes. The surface of the thing should have been engraved with text, but due to age, the strokes of the text have fallen off a little, and it has become as incomplete as it is now.

"Third brother, come and see."

Seeing this, Wang Guan became a little more interested: "There seems to be an inscription." ”

"Really."

Cao Xiang's eyes lit up, as an expert, he must understand the difference between words and words. If there are no words, no matter how old the thing is, it is not very valuable. But there are words that are different, at least multiplying the value of things a few times.

Just like the ancient bamboo slips, there is no value at all in modern times, but if there are words on the bamboo slips, it is a precious cultural relic of great value. So to a certain extent, judging whether a thing has value or not depends largely on its added value.

At this time, Cao Xiang looked carefully, and suddenly frowned: "It's so vague......"

"Not only is it vague, but it also lacks arms and legs, and it is incomplete." Wang Guan studied for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "But I seem to know what this thing is." ”

"What is it?" Cao Xiang hurriedly asked.

"Danshu Iron Scroll." Wang Guan groaned: "I just don't know, this is the left volume, or the right volume." ”

"Danshu Iron Scroll?"

Cao Xiang was stunned, and hurriedly observed, only to see that the thing was similar to the half of a bamboo tube, and it was iron, and there were inscriptions on the surface, so he immediately agreed with Wang Guan's judgment.

Speaking of Danshu iron scroll, it is often said that the folk are free from death. During the Warring States Period, there were similar copper festivals, but the Danshu iron scroll in the real sense generally began with Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.

According to historical data, as early as the Western Han Dynasty, after Liu Bang seized power, in order to consolidate his rule, he won over the heroes and awarded the heroes Danshu iron coupons as a reward. The history is known as the Danshu Iron Deed, or the Danshu Iron Scroll.

Note that the iron scroll of this period did not have any promise of exemption from death and crime, but was only used as a certificate of feudalism. Therefore, folklore has it that Han Xin got the promise of Danshu Iron Scroll to avoid death, and the sword was not allowed to be added, so in order to kill him, Empress Lu surrounded him with a fishing net and stabbed him to death with a bamboo sword...... This is pure! (To be continued......)
