Chapter 265: Rabbit Dead Dog Cooking
"What? Do you know Captain Kidd's treasure? ”
Wu Tianyuan was taken aback, and originally wanted to ask if there were any other clues about the necklace and John's treasure? And it even said it knew about the treasure of the Kidd pirates?
"Before the famous pirate king Kidd died, he handed his wife a note with four sets of numbers, 44-10-66-18. Eventually Kidd failed to convince the British government of his innocence and was hanged in London in 1701. ”
On May 23, 1701, Kidd was hanged at the docks of London. The first time I got on the gallows, the rope broke. But the executors didn't care, and on the second time they finally hanged him. Kidd's body was tarred, chained, and hung in a cage on the banks of the River Thames for two years to deter other pirates, but he refused to admit to being a pirate until his death. ”
"In 1932 and 1933, an Englishman named Palmer found three treasure maps in three chests used by Kidd, with the same island and corresponding latitude and longitude drawn on them. But Palmer died suddenly and mysteriously. The treasure map fell into the hands of the housekeeper. ”
In 1937, a man named Wiggins claimed to have seen a fourth treasure map. In 1951, explorer Braunley obtained a treasure map and organized a treasure hunt, but was forced to return empty-handed when he encountered a hurricane. In this way, the story of Kidd's treasure, along with the curse that the legend of seven people to die because of it, has survived to this day, and the treasure is still missing. ”
Of course, Wu Tianyuan knows that this famous pirate king, and Eustacede, one of the 11 supernovas in the now popular "One Piece", is based on him.
Necklace lamented: "Actually, Kidd is wronged, he is the son of a priest in Greenockshire, and during the Anglo-French War, he successfully maintained the trade lanes between the United States and Great Britain. During the War of the Grand Alliance, Kidd was ordered to capture an enemy privateer, and later obtained a permit from the local governor to carry out armed privateering operations in the Caribbean. ”
"But unfortunately, Kidd did not find pirates in the Indian Ocean for a long time. A British East India Company captain claimed that an embarrassed Kidd had attacked a Mughal Empire emissary ship protected by the East India Company. Soon Kidd was declared a pirate. ”
When Kidd returned to the Caribbean and learned that he had been put on the pirate list, he abandoned ship and headed for New York, hoping to justify his treasure, which is said to have buried his treasure on a small island at the western end of Long Island before arriving in New York.
Wu Tianyuan was disgusted for a while, and it was another example of rabbit dead dog cooking! When you use others, let you sell your life, and once you have benefits, you can just find an excuse to swallow the treasure alone. This kind of thing is the favorite activity of the so-called royal family, and the treasure grabbing can also kill people with righteousness and awe-inspiring, killing two birds with one stone.
"To Gardenas!"
Two days later, Wu Tianyuan and his party appeared on the island, in fact, this island was searched by some treasure hunters, but found nothing. Of course, they were no match for Wu Tianyuan, and with the instructions of the necklace, they quickly found more than a dozen treasure chests that sealed the cave.
"It's still some jeweled gold coins, but there are a lot of gold coins from ancient Rome, and they're very valuable."
Wu Tianyuan listened to it, and suddenly found a few yellowed letters in the cracks of a box, and said with a smile: "These are not worth much, this is a treasure!" ”
Wang Jun looked at it curiously and said in surprise: "This is actually a letter of guarantee written by King William III to Kidd personally?" ”
"Yes, Kidd is not a fool either, he returned to England because of these so-called guarantees!"
Wu Tianyuan said disdainfully: "Back then, he helped the royal family rob a lot of treasures, and the amount was so large that the king began to blush!" Eventually, they stopped believing in Kidd and wanted to find an opportunity to destroy him and take the treasure to themselves. ”
When the Earl of Belo Monte, who had recommended Kidd, heard of Kidd's return, he feared that he would be implicated by Kidd, so he lured him to Boston on July 6, 1699, where he was arrested and immediately imprisoned. While in prison, Kidd was brutally tortured and allegedly insane. ”
"In fact, it is torture to extract the whereabouts of all the treasures, this should be Kidreu's backhand, he didn't expect that even the king would be untrustworthy, and he would be wronged until he died."
How thin the emperor has been since ancient times! In the eyes, everyone only has use value, and once it is useless, it will be extinguished immediately. Looking at the founding generals of the past dynasties, there is basically no good end. Either the merit is high, or the military power is released with a glass of wine, and the smart rapids can save their lives if they return bravely, and if they are late, they will raid their families and exterminate their clans.
"Forget it, a pirate, he has killed a lot of people, and it is also retribution."
Wu Tianyuan put away a few letters with satisfaction, this is more precious than all jewelry and gold coins, and it is related to the credibility and face of the British royal family, and Director David wants to give some blood!
Wu Tianyuan sent the jewelry to Ross and asked him to prepare for the next auction, under the banner of Kidd's special sale, which was an absolute sensation.
Rose also began to get used to the magic of the new boss, and in less than half a month, he sent two batches of treasures, worthy of being a famous treasure hunter. With such a strong man, the rise of Bonhams is just around the corner.
"Say it! What do you want this time? ”
David looked helplessly at Wu Tianyuan, who had just left for a few days, this kid was also drunk!
"That's it, everyone is a friend, I heard that the British Museum has a kiln Tianmu, or is it obsidian?"
David smiled bitterly: "I can't hide anything from you, yes, we have an obsidian here, do you want to change it?" ”
Wu Tianyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "One Yao is too little, right?" Can it be compared to the face of the British royal family? Another thousand Dunhuang murals! ”
"Five hundred is the most!"
"A thousand!"
"Six hundred!"
The two of them bargained for a while, and finally sold for 800 Dunhuang murals and obsidian tea cups from the kiln.
"Is this obsidian?"
Several people curiously watched the new kiln Yao Chang Tianmu, plus this Tianyuan has two Yao Chang tea cups, one blue sky eye and one black sky eye.
"If this is seen by the little devils, it must be crazy!"
Hu Jianmin said excitedly: "They regard the Yao Chang Tianmu as a national treasure, and even the emperor has to bow when he visits to show respect." There are only three in the whole of Japan, and now we have two in our hands, hehe! ”
"It is said that there are four types of Celestia in existence, the Obsidian Change, the Obsidian Change, and the rarer Obsidian Change, and the only Dragon Ball is also on the Awa Maru. Sinking into the sea with the August Cup and the Peking Man skull, he disappeared. ”
Now Wu Tianyuan has eleven of the Twelve Flower God Cups in his hand, and he is just one of the August cups. There are also two Yao Chang Tianmu, and the peerless one-of-a-kind Dragon Ball Yao Chang is also on Awa Maru, and when there are clues, they must be salvaged out.
"When little Japan sees a set of Kangxi blue and white colorful twelve flower god cups, as well as a set of Jianyao Yao Tianmu tea cups, the emperor will also bow down to me!" (To be continued.) )
