A few days after New Year's Day, into the coldest small cold solar term of the year, the temperature of 39 days is really cold, the cold air in the north stubble up, with the air quality significantly improved and the haze dissipated, Pu'an City finally has more good days with excellent air quality grades.

In the cold morning, Chen Dalong hadn't come up yet, and he heard the mobile phone on the bedside table "buzzing" and vibrating, "Who is calling like a call early in the morning?" He grumbled, and reached out of the warm bed to take the phone and squint.

"Minister Fang's number?" Chen Dalong looked at the familiar phone number on the mobile phone screen and blurted out, "What is the urgency of this guy calling so early?" ”

Without thinking too much, Chen Dalong hurriedly pressed the answer button on his mobile phone, and Minister Fang's angry greeting immediately came from the phone: "Vice Mayor Chen, I'm sorry to disturb you so early!" ”

Chen Dalong muttered to himself in his heart, "It's already bothered, I'm sorry to be useful?" He was unhappy, but he spoke in a very enthusiastic tone, and asked Minister Fang, "Which one did you sing this morning?" Why are you in such a hurry to call before dawn? ”

"One hundred thousand urgent!" Minister Fang said, "If it weren't for the 100,000 urgent things, I would be embarrassed to bother you, brother." ”

Chen Dalong is famous for his righteousness in the circle of friends, as long as it is a good brother looking for help, there is nothing he can do, which also makes him have a very good reputation in the circle of friends.

Hearing Minister Fang eagerly say that there was a "100,000 urgent" matter to ask him for help, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, "After Minister Fang went to the provincial organ for a while ago, he didn't have contact for a few days, what can he do for this time?" ”

Chen Dalong asked Minister Fang with a question mark in his heart: "What is it that can make Minister Fang anxious to become like this?" ”

Minister Fang paused for a moment on the other end of the phone, and suddenly lowered his voice and said:

"Do you know that the province is going to move a group of cadres before the year?"

"I don't know."

"Didn't I tell you, the provincial party committee has finished adjusting the leading cadres at the municipal level, and recently the focus has begun to focus on the departments directly under the province, including the organ working committee."

When Minister Fang said this, there was obviously a little excitement in his tone, and Chen Dalong thought to himself, "This guy doesn't want to ask himself to help him get a better leadership position in the provincial capital, right?" If he is promoted again, he will be a leading cadre at the department level, how can he have that ability? ”

Minister Fang obviously didn't notice that Chen Dalong on the other end of the phone was silent, and continued to say to Chen Dalong in a slightly excited tone:

"This opportunity is so rare for me, I want to give it a try."

"How do you spell?" Chen Dalong asked.

This is the most concerned question in his heart, and he has even begun to think in his heart, if the minister asks him for help, how should he deal with it?

Minister Fang suddenly changed his tone of chagrin and said:

"I recently in order to ask people to do things, deliberately spent a lot of money to buy a broken bowl that is said to be the Song Dynasty, the result is to find someone to identify it is a fake, time does not wait for anyone, this bone on the eye I really can't find other suitable antiques to give away, your usual brain turns fast, know a lot of people on the scene, do you have a way to find a porcelain in the Ming and Qing dynasties? Of course, the Song Dynasty is also OK. ”

Chen Dalong secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said in his heart, "It's okay to find an antique and this kind of trivial matter, as long as you don't force your brother to catch the ducks on the shelves and personally come forward to help you find the main leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government. ”

Chen Dalong knew that if Minister Fang was not in a hurry, he would definitely not find a way for himself, since his friend had spoken, he had to make some efforts, besides, finding an antique was not a big deal for Chen Dalong.

Chen Dalong then asked, "Are you in a hurry?" ”

"Of course, the sooner the better, preferably in three days."

"I'm looking for it, I don't usually pay attention to this aspect of things, I have to ask other people to find out." Of course, Chen Dalong can't say to the other minister that he has been paying attention to the antique market for a long time, and even has inventory in his hand in case of emergency.

According to Chen Dalong's idea, since Minister Fang asked him to help get antiques, he would just wait two days to pick a suitable one from his usual collection and give it to him, but he didn't expect Minister Fang to have other ideas.

Minister Fang said: "Recently, I heard that there is a farmer in Luoshui Town, Pushui County, who has a piece of jade pendant in his hand that is very valuable, I wonder if my brother can find a way to help me get it?" ”

"Jade pendant? What period? Chen Dalong asked.

"It is said to be a national treasure, and the legend is that it is Li Zicheng's talisman, which is unique in history."

Chen Dalong was overjoyed when he heard this, "Is there still this treasure in the local area?" He hurriedly asked, "Is this true?" ”

"It is rumored that he has a nose and eyes, and it is said that Li Zicheng hung on his body when he was defeated and lived in seclusion."

As soon as Minister Fang said this, Chen Dalong slowly recalled in his mind that the "Li Zicheng" mentioned by Minister Fang during the period of seclusion was indeed mentioned in the history books.

He realized that if the jade pendant mentioned by Minister Fang was really the jade pendant that Li Zicheng carried with him when he was defeated and fled, then this jade pendant should be a pair, one on the general Liu Zongmin, and the other on Li Zicheng.

According to historical records, because this jade pendant can be used as a military talisman in times of crisis, after Li Zicheng's failure in the uprising, the Qing court has been looking for him, and his generals are also looking for him, the purpose is to get this talisman.

A sentence popped up in Chen Dalong's mind, "If what Minister Fang said is true, isn't this jade pendant a priceless treasure?" He couldn't help but beat wildly in his heart, and his ears couldn't hear what Minister Fang was saying.

I only remember that Minister Fang finally said: "Brother, Pushui County used to be your territory, and if you want to get this treasure as soon as possible, I can only look for you." ”

Chen Dalong agreed casually, "My brother's business is my Chen Dalong's business, so I'll let people inquire if there is really this jade pendant." ”

Having said that, even if Minister Fang didn't ask Chen Dalong for help, he would take the initiative to intervene in this matter, and what he pondered in his heart was, "Since this jade pendant is so valuable, it must be priceless, even if you can find a jade pendant in your pocket, it may come in handy in the future." ”

Here is a brief addition to the history books about Li Zicheng's whereabouts after the defeat, according to historical records, there are six theories about Li Zicheng's fate, such as hanging, death in battle, monkhood, seclusion, etc., one of which is the most reliable, return to Qingcheng.

Li Zicheng's descendants found a copy of the "Li Family Tree" copied in the third year of Kangxi in a family surnamed Li in Weiciwan Village, Qingcheng Town, and concluded that after Li Zicheng's defeat, he disguised himself as a monk and took refuge in his uncle Li Bin's house in Qingcheng, Yuzhong, and Li Zicheng lived in the deep mountains and ditches nearby in his later years.

Later, it was heard that the Qing court guards had found some clues about him, fled overnight, and finally went to Lingshui County (now Pushui County) to live in seclusion, which used to be his old nest, and the local people were grateful to him for the grace of the grain in the previous Juntian, so they kept it a secret, covered him until his death, and built several nameless graves.

Receiving a call from Minister Fang early in the morning was like a stimulant injection Chen Dalong's heart rippled, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately called Liu Jiahui, an old subordinate in Pushui County.

When Liu Jiahui listened to Vice Mayor Chen's words, he said in a puzzled tone: "Li Zicheng's jade pendant? Impossible. ”

Chen Dalong said to him: "Don't care about the truth or not, let's talk about it when we get it." ”

Liu Jiahui agreed and promised to do it on the same day.

When you have a mind in your heart, you will feel that time has passed extremely long, because of the fear of missing Liu Jiahui's call, Chen Dalong stayed in the office all day except for dinner, basically did not go out, the mobile phone was kept at hand, and he glanced at it from time to time when talking to his subordinates about work.

When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Liu Jiahui's phone finally came, and his voice on the phone hurriedly reported: "Vice Mayor Chen, it's true!" ”

Chen Dalong was overjoyed, clenched his mobile phone in one hand, and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"It's all investigated, absolutely sure!" Liu Jiahui is categorical.

"This person is a lone man in his fifties in Yuling Village, named Li Kui, who claims to be a descendant of Li Zicheng. According to villagers, in the past few years, Li Kui was often seen wandering around the cemetery in the middle of the night, and they all said that he was robbing tombs to get treasures. When I went to his house, there happened to be a foreigner at home, and when he saw us coming, he left in a hurry, presumably buying and selling tomb robbed cultural relics. When asked about the situation, he denied it, pointed to the bottles and cans in the corner and asked him what was going on, and he revealed that he had stolen it from the cemetery. ”

"Where's the jade pendant? Did you make a move? Chen Dalong was anxious.

He denied the matter of the jade pendant, but I asked some villagers around him, and some people said that he had seen it. It is estimated that Li Kui is still boiling the price, this thing is not easy to sell, and both sides are afraid of losses. ”

"Gotta find a way to get it." Chen Dalong said with a little irrepressible excitement in his tone, "Authentic national treasure! A priceless national treasure! The joke is big! What a stroke of luck! ”

"The people below tried every means to see things, but he didn't admit that there was such a thing, this is a national cultural relic, and it is punishable to take it out and steal it."

"There's no way?"

"There is one way, it is a little yin."

"Tell me about it."

At this time, Chen Dalong doesn't care if he is damaged or not, it is the right way to get it.

Liu Jiahui said this and this, Chen Dalong thought about it and felt that the solution was good, and ordered: "Don't talk about this matter, you have to be right." ”

Liu Jiahui agreed, "Vice Mayor Chen, listen to your orders." ”

Liu Jiahui immediately called the people below and explained everything clearly, as long as the jade pendant, the rest didn't matter, as for the amount of compensation, he would deal with it.

The people below didn't ask the reason, and they agreed to come down.

The night passes, and the day falls.
