Chapter 297: Why is it valuable?
More than 100 people from the Investigation Department were surrounded and beaten by the soldiers and horses of the Jizhou military battalion outside the Yongning Tongyuan Carriage and Horse Shop, and they were all beaten like pigs' heads, and the speed of this matter spread faster than Xiahou Zhuo's announcement that he would auction a priceless treasure in the March Jianglou.
The main reason is that the Department of Detective Affairs is really hated, and this is a very amazing yamen, because they not only oppress and rectify the people, but they also oppress and rectify the officials.
And relatively speaking, the talents of the Department of Detective Affairs are not willing to spend more energy on the affairs of ordinary people, unless there is oil and water to fish.
Otherwise, they would rather grasp the handle of some court officials, and rectify these officials faster than the people to make money.
This has caused the people to hate the Department of Investigation, and the vast majority of officials also hate the Department of Investigation.
These two news soon spread all over the streets and alleys of Jizhou City, and the people were not curious about what that priceless treasure was, because it had nothing to do with the people, and the people were more curious about the people of the Investigation Department being beaten, because they felt relieved of their hatred.
What does the priceless treasure have to do with the people of Jizhou City, which accounts for 90% of the population.
Even this priceless treasure does not have anything to do with the 10 percent of the rich.
But the discerning person quickly saw that the implication behind these two things was related to Yongning Tongyuan's carriage.
The people of the Investigation Department suffered a big loss when they inspected the carriage and horse dealers, and the item that Xiahou Zhuo auctioned may also be related to Li Qi.
This makes many people have to think about how deep the water is in this car and horse shop.
In fact, it is not so difficult to guess, the water in this Jizhou city is no deeper than Xiahou Zhuo.
This was said by Li Qi, and Xiahou Zhuo felt that he was playing hooligan.
Carriage and horses.
Xiahou Zhuo said to Li Qi: "The matter of Mr. Songming's seal should not be delayed, although the news has been spread, but as long as you haven't taken it out for auction, then my father may directly ask you for it, as for how you explain that the auction is not auctioned, he will ignore it." ”
Li Qi nodded: "I just asked Yu Jiuling to go to the March River Tower with Mr. Song Ming's seal, and handed it over to the owner of the March River Tower in your name, and I asked Yu Jiuling to tell the people of the March River Tower that the auction is at noon today." ”
Xiahou Zhuo smiled: "You are sure that my father has not gotten up at the moment." ”
Li Qi said: "I don't know when Prince Yu will get up, but I think that he probably didn't get up as early as us." ”
Xiahou Zhuo said with a smile: "But if you only auction one item, it will be a little boring, do you have any treasures in your hands, take them out and auction them together, and sell them for more money if you can sell them for more money." ”
Li Qi thought about it carefully, and the treasure in his hand was really only that Mr. Songming's seal.
After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Mr. Songming's seal is valuable, is Mr. Songming's words valuable?" ”
"Nonsense."
Xiahou Zhuo said: "Your master gave Dean Gao the Dengque Tai sticker, which was worth 100,000 taels of silver more than a hundred years ago, and it was after the death of Mr. Songming, of course, at that time, Da Chu didn't look so messy as it is now, even now, the Dengque Tai sticker is taken out and sold, and it is still easy to sell tens of thousands of taels." ”
Li Qi said: "So it's so valuable.....
Xiahou Zhuo asked: "Do you have Mr. Songming's words?" ”
Li Qi said: "Yes." ”
Xiahou Zhuo was pleasantly surprised: "You guy is simply a treasure, where is it, why haven't you taken it out before." ”
Li Qi said: "Not before, not now, you have to wait for me for a while, I'll write." ”
Xiahou Zhuo: "......"
Li Qi said: "Like a fake Mr. Songming's fake deeds." ”
Xiahou Zhuo: "Look at the white clouds floating in the sky, it doesn't look like you-fucking three words?" ”
Li Qi said: "That's four words. ”
He turned and walked into the room, and as he went, he said, "I'm going to write a few words now, soon." ”
Xiahou Zhuo: "......"
After Li Qi entered the door, he looked at the god head knife hanging in the room, thinking that if this was sold, it should be quite valuable.
Of course he doesn't sell, but he's just used to seeing if something is worth it.
The Shenshou Knife ranks very low among the seven famous knives in the world, so Li Qi thought that if he got all the other knives, wouldn't he be rich, setting up a stall on the street and lining up the seven famous knives, it would be very cowhide to think about.
After a while, Li Qi came out with a few rolls of rice paper, handed them to Xiahou Zhuo, and said, "I just wrote it, do you want to read it?" ”
Xiahou Zhuo looked up at the sky and said, "Do you think that those dignitaries and nobles in Jizhou City, those literati and writers are stupid critics." ”
Li Qi said: "No, let's sell it as a fake, isn't it a lie to sell it if it's really sold." ”
Xiahou Zhuo: "You...... Sure enough, they were stupid. ”
An hour later, March River Tower.
Although it was in a hurry, I heard that there was an auction of Mr. Songming's personal seal, and many people came.
The main reason is that Mr. Song Ming is too famous, he was once the emperor of Great Chu, but he is not greedy for fame, he taught a generation of Ming Jun, and then he retired.
It is not an exaggeration to say that a single word is worth ten thousand gold.
There are still some authentic works handed down by Mr. Songming, because he is quite prolific and he feels that he is satisfied with a lot of works, but even when he was alive, his words were hard to find.
Outside Mr. Songming's house, every time he threw garbage outside, there would be a group of fanatics rummaging through the garbage heap regardless of their identity, and they would be pleasantly surprised if they could know a piece of broken words.
But it is basically impossible, because most of the words that Mr. Songming writes every day will be burned, and nothing will be left except for the works that he himself is extremely satisfied with.
Now that so many years have passed, Mr. Songming's words will pop up from time to time, but as we all know, Mr. Songming's seal is only one, and this one is in the world.
Some literati like seals, will collect a lot, and will give themselves more than one nickname engraved on the seal, but Mr. Songming insists that a seal represents a person, so he only has that seal to carry with him in his life.
Cui Tai looked at such a handsome young man in front of him, thinking that such a person was really an orphan as learned in the investigation, who had been in the cold for more than ten years, and only made his fortune in Jizhou?
If this is really the case, then I have to say that human encounters are really wonderful and incomprehensible.
At this moment, there were already a lot of people gathered in the lobby of the March River Building, and most of them felt that they could not afford to buy the seal, not because they could not afford the price, but because they felt that their status was not enough.
In this lobby, someone from the Xu family came, it was Xu Yuyu, who had just been to the carriage and horse shop last night, and he wanted to come and see how bold this Li Qi was.
The Cui family's own people are also there, after all, the people of the Cui family are really interested in that seal.
The affairs between the upper circles and cultural people are difficult for the people to understand, they can't even understand that a word is worth ten thousand gold, let alone understand the value of a seal, and of course they can't understand why those people in the upper circle are so fanatically sought after.
Some big businessmen also came, they came to see what they wanted, and by the way, they could see if they could get acquainted with some big people.
The people of the Xie family also came, and they were determined to win, because the Xie family had been with them
Mr. Song Ming has a great relationship.
Mr. Songming retired from the imperial court and lived in seclusion in Linglan Garden, which was specially built for him by the Xie family, and built a manor for one person.
Mr. Song Ming has always lived in Linglan Garden in his later years, and he is also very concerned about the people of the Xie family, and even in the last few years, he personally taught a little child of the Xie family, the child is named Xie Frame, more than ten years later, he became the youngest prime minister in the history of Da Chu, and has been in power for nearly 20 years.
If it weren't for the death of the old emperor, the poisoning of the crown prince, and the seizure of the heirs, Xie Jian would not have died so young.
The old emperor died, and the crown prince also died, Xie Jiao's attitude became crucial, and whoever he chose was basically sure that he could inherit the unification.
So he also died, because those princes were afraid that Xie Frame would not choose him, since everyone was worried, then get rid of Xie Frame first, and then talk about it, and the rest will depend on their ability.
That is, after Xie Frame died, Da Chu's downhill road began to accelerate, and it could even be said that it took a sharp turn.
At that time, the old emperor was taught by Mr. Songming, known as a generation of Ming Jun, although he was a little rigid in the later period, but with the assistance of people like Xie Frame, Da Chu had the tendency to prosper.
The death of the old emperor would not have had a great impact on Da Chu, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was taught by Xie Jiao, even if he didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to surpass his father, he would not be a faint monarch.
As a result, those who want to seize the throne dare to gamble on the fortunes of the Great Chu State, they think that if they win the throne, they will win, but they never think that no matter who they win, it will be the Great Chu who loses.
Even if there was a world-famous hero Xu Kaiju later, he couldn't really save Da Chu.
Chu declined, and it was out of control.
A group of big people in the March River Tower, they may not only be fanatically pursuing Mr. Song Ming, but also their own admiration for the great Chu and strong in the past.
There were a lot of people around the outside of the March River Tower, and they naturally couldn't see what the priceless thing was and what it looked like, but it didn't prevent them from being curious.
Many people don't even do work, they just want to see the excitement, but what does the excitement have to do with them.
"Why is one of Mr. Songming's seals so valuable?"
Someone in the crowd asked curiously.
The person next to him said with a smile: "Needless to say, it must be gold, and it must be very large, at least, it must be two catties." ”
The questioner nodded, feeling that it made sense, so he replied: "That's right, how can it be so valuable except for gold, but since it's so precious, it's more than two catties, right?" ”
A man who looked like a businessman snorted: "Tu Baozi, you know a fart, you may think that gold is the most precious thing, if you want me to say, Mr. Songming's seal must be jade, and it is carved by a master." ”
The two people who spoke just now looked at each other, and they didn't say anything, for fear that they would show their timidity, but they thought that what the merchant said probably made sense, and they also thought that the jade seal should not be less than two catties.
"You don't know who Mr. Songming is."
An old pedant stood in the crowd, he looked a little lonely, with gray hair.
He said to himself: "Mr. Songming's seal is not gold, nor jade, but just an ordinary Taishan stone, which is not big, and the words on the seal are also engraved by Mr. Songming himself." ”
The merchant glanced at him and sneered, "You know again? ”
The old pedant sighed heavily and said: "You don't know why the seal is valuable, because you haven't thought about it, what is engraved on the seal is also the glory of Da Chu. ”
A group of people looked at the old pedant and thought that he was a self-righteous fool, a fool who liked to talk nonsense when he read stupidly.
