No matter who wins or loses in this gambling battle, the Tong family will definitely make a lot of profits, and Tong Shu, who was standing on the side, not only did not stop the two from continuing, but looked forward to it with joy.

Everyone just now knew that Li Nan only had 50,000 yuan of silver in his hand, although this money was a lot, but the scale of the five-jin mansion in Yangzhou City was not small, at least worth more than 100,000 yuan, and it seemed that he was doomed.

Just when everyone thought that Li Nan was going to lose, he said to Ashur beside him, "Bring those two boxes." ”

As the crowd watched curiously, Ashur took two mahogany and gold-inlaid wooden chests from the guards and placed them on top of the table.

"Xing led the fleet overseas, and it took several years to cross the ocean, and only then did he reach Europa, which no one had ever been to in the Great Song Dynasty, and these two are the rare treasures that I have worked so hard to return from the extreme west."

Li Nan opened the lid of the wooden box as he spoke, and after seeing the contents of the box, whether it was the merchants, the prisoners, or the Tong Shu and the servants of the Tong family, they all couldn't help but let out a huge exclamation.

The first thing is a flower-like glass tea set, a glass set that is crystal clear in the sun, without a trace of impurities, and looks extremely precious.

Some well-informed people present exclaimed, "Water Spirit! ”

Water essence is crystal, in ancient times, this crystal clear thing, also known as water jade, is said to be able to play a role in avoidance, embalming, and healing.

A family like Cao Dalang, who has a deep family background, or a powerful family like Tong Shu, has owned or seen a few objects made of crystal, but they have definitely never seen such pure crystal vessels.

If the first glass tea set amazed everyone, then the second thing made everyone grow their mouths and couldn't say a word.

The contents of the second wooden box were common in later generations, and they were nothing more than a mirror the size of a book, but in the Great Song Dynasty, where all bronze mirrors were used, this was the first time that glass mirrors appeared.

After the scene was quiet for a long time, Tong Shu, who was the first to react, asked in an extremely excited tone: "This... This... This... Xing Yuan, do you really want to exchange two peerless treasures for these cheap slaves? ”

These two things are actually not worth much, Li Nan naturally replied without hesitation: "Exactly!" ”

Afraid that Li Nan would regret it, Tong Shui hurriedly shouted: "Come on, immediately give all the prisoners' documents to Xing Yuanwai!" ”

The steward of the Tong Mansion also understood that this matter was not small, so he hurriedly took matters into his own hands and took all the servants to deal with it as quickly as possible.

Under the urging of Tong Shui, those servants quickly handled these chores, and Li Nan said with a smile: "Cao Dalang, since I have won, our gambling contract should also be settled." ”

Seeing that Ashur lifted the silk cloth covering the gambling money, it was another mahogany gold-filled box, and thinking that it might contain another rare treasure, Cao Dalang's forehead was full of sweat.

Li Nan walked to the table and carefully opened the box, and soon a droplet-shaped glass bottle filled with liquid and equally pure and flawless appeared in front of everyone.

This thing is not very large, basically similar to the books of the Song Dynasty, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, the shape is extremely elegant, and it looks very valuable.

After Li Nan bowed his hand to everyone present, he said, "Please give me an estimate of this treasure, so that Cao Dalang can compensate according to the price." ”

No matter how bad the wicked people in this world are, there will be a few friends with the same smell, Cao Dalang has been operating in Yangzhou for many years, and he has also handed over a few people, after hearing Li Nan's words, he hurriedly glanced at the crowd.

A pot-bellied businessman nodded knowingly, took a few steps forward to the glass bottle and took a closer look, then shook his head and said: "Although this thing is made of water jade, but the top of the bottle is sealed, it is completely an ornament, far less valuable than that set of exquisite gaps, in my opinion, this thing should be worth 20,000 yuan!" ”

After the rich merchant spoke, several other businessmen who had received Cao Dalang's instructions also spoke in agreement, and it seemed that they wanted to set the price at 20,000 yuan.

Although others think that the price of 20,000 guan is a bit low, but what the rich businessman said also has some truth, the same material, simple ornaments and practical tea sets, the price is indeed much inferior.

How could Cao Dalang's small actions hide Li Nan's sharp eyes, he had already seen the small movements of several people, and seeing these people suppressing the price of this glass bottle so low, Li Nan suddenly smiled.

Li Nan looked around at everyone present, chuckled and asked, "You all think this thing is not practical, right?" ”

"Hmm."

"It's really worse than that tea set."

"I think it's only worth about 30,000 yuan."

Listening to everyone's discussions, Li Nan pointed to the bottle and said loudly: "Speaking of which, this treasure has a name, called Fengyun Bottle!" ”

The resounding name of "Fengyun Bottle" immediately attracted everyone's attention, and someone immediately asked: "Xing Yuanwai, this is just an ordinary water jade bottle, where does this name come from?" ”

"Good question!" After Li Nan praised it, he continued: "Since this thing is called a Fengyun bottle, it means that it has the effect of knowing wind and clouds, rain and snow, and climate in advance. ”

"What!" Hearing Li Nan's introduction, everyone present exclaimed, but in addition to surprise, there was a strong suspicion on everyone's faces, after all, no one had ever seen a baby who could predict the weather.

Li Nan pointed to the liquid in the bottle and explained: "If the weather is clear and the wind is beautiful, then the water in this bottle will be clear and transparent; If there are many clouds in the sky, the water will become cloudy. If it is damp or about to fog, the turbidity in the water will float; If there is a spiral pattern at the top, it means that the wind is about to rise. ”

"Nonsense! There is no such thing in the world! As soon as Li Nan's words fell, Cao Dalang reprimanded.

Not only Cao Dalang, but the others present didn't believe Li Nan's words at all, and it was a coincidence that at this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Look, everyone, there is a spiral pattern in that treasure bottle!" ”

Li Nan had just finished introducing the role of the vase, so everyone knew that the spiral pattern represented the wind, but now there was no breeze in the open space in front of the prison, and the few flags nearby had not moved at all.

Seeing that there was no wind, Cao Dalang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted at Li Nan: "You liar, you actually want to blackmail my Cao family's money, and a certain family will go to Yangzhou Mansion...... Uh......"

Before the menacing Cao Dalang finished speaking, a gust of wind blew in his face, and several big flags around the venue also fluttered in the wind.

This wind not only cooled Cao Dalang's face, but also cooled his heart, he looked around in horror, and found that no one looked at him at all, and everyone's eyes were full of greed, staring at the Fengyun treasure bottle on the table.

"Such a treasure bottle, a certain family is willing to pay 300,000 yuan!"

Hearing this astonishing sentence, everyone came to their senses and looked at each other, only to see that the speaker was burly, well-dressed, with a beard under his cheeks, and an extraordinary bearing.

"Nephew to meet uncle!"

"Old slave greets your lord!"

"Hello Tong-sama!"

As soon as this person arrived, everyone present hulala fell down, some knelt down, and some bowed their hands.

Although Li Nan did not meet this person when he was in Tokyo City, he also knew at this moment that the person who came was the pacification envoy of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Huai, the leading commander of the rebellion of Fangla of the Ming Sect, the chief lieutenant of the inspection school, and the chief eunuch Tong Guan, who was the first military attache of the dynasty.
