Chapter 7: The Dragon Seal (2)

"Is he really a plum?" Xiao Linghu was so surprised that it was as if he was in a dream.

Feng Xuan was also a little surprised, this change came too quickly, he had already seen that the police captain who had searched them just now was hurriedly getting off the boat with people and heading to the river bank, he knew that the boat was about to leave.

Not long after, the steamer sounded its whistle, and the sound was low and distant on the river in the dark night, like a horn on the battlefield, and people felt an invisible power in their hearts.

The Hanyang finally sailed, left the chaotic Anqing Port, and continued its journey.

"Big brother, could that thing he gave him be the Panlong Seal?" Xiao Linghu couldn't help asking.

Feng Xuan nodded: "Well, it's very likely." ”

"Beaulieu Dragon Seal, what the hell is it?" Xiao Linghu is even more strange.

"I guess it's a very valuable antique!" Feng Xuan guessed: "He knew that he couldn't take it away, so he gave it to you!" ”

Xiao Linghu strode back, eager to open the package and see what it contained.

"Wait a minute!" Feng Xuan knew what he was going to do, and shouted at him in the back.

Xiao Linghu looked back at Feng Xuan in confusion.

"If it's really a dragon seal, what are you going to do with it?" Feng Xuan asked him.

At this moment, Xiao Linghu was stopped, he touched his head, and said, "What do you say?" ”

Feng Xuan said: "This thing is a hot yam now, the police are tracking it everywhere, if you take it out, then what will they think?" ”

"They'll think I'm an accomplice of Yizhimei!" Xiao Linghu said.

Feng Xuan nodded and said: "Although you can defend yourself, and you will prove your innocence in the future, but this case must really be a big case, otherwise these policemen would not come to find it with such fanfare, and it is necessary to interrogate you, I am afraid that you will not be able to stop without ten days and a half months!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Linghu immediately shook his head: "No! No way! I don't have much time, I have to rush to Nanjing to sign up, and then I only have a month to review, where can I have the time to talk to those policemen? ”

"In that case, you should treat it as if nothing happened, if you don't know anything, if you don't look at the package, just as if it was a gift that no one wants, and then open it when you have free time." Feng Xuan made a suggestion to Xiao Linghu.

Xiao Linghu thought about it and felt that there was some truth, but he was still very curious in his heart.

Feng Xuan saw his thoughts, and said: "If you want to see it, you can watch it secretly, don't let Chief Tang know, his identity is there, it's okay if he doesn't know, if he knows and doesn't report, it will be his dereliction of duty, do you understand?" ”

"Got it!" Xiao Linghu nodded.

"Also, if this thing is really so precious, even if you hand it in, I'm afraid that in the end, it will only become someone else's bag, and there will be few chances to enter the National Museum!" Feng Xuan guessed that it was not that he was too pessimistic, but that there were too many selfish and greedy people in this society, especially those powerful officials.

"I got it!" Xiao Linghu said, half of his interest in the package had been lost, and he was even a little depressed.

"Ichimei will probably come to you again!" In the end, Feng Xuan said: "He handed over the things to you, it was just a temporary measure, this person was able to steal things from the Hankou Bank, he must be very scheming, he didn't give that thing to me, but gave it to you, he must know your identity, with a trace of luck; Even if it is found by those police, it may be a disaster for others, but not for you! ”

Xiao Linghu was stunned, he had never thought about these things. It's just that he didn't have much communication with Mr. Yan, and if he had anything to say, he only slept on his top bunk. How would Mr. Yan know who he is? Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of the briefcase in Tang Song's hand.

He immediately recalled the scene a few hours ago, and vaguely remembered that when he woke up, Tang Song didn't see the briefcase next to his head, but after Mr. Yan came back, he stood in front of Tang Song's bed for a while, and then, he saw the briefcase again. Could it be that Tang Song's top-secret briefcase has been opened by Mr. Yan? He already knows what's inside? He knew Tang Song's identity, which the police would never be able to provoke! And he is Tang Song's closest follower!

Thinking of this, Xiao Linghu became cheerful. He turned his head to look at Feng Xuan again, only to see that the eldest brother smiled slightly, with a look of deep concealment, he suddenly felt that although that Yizhimei was very scheming, Feng Xuan was a Zhuge Liang!

*********************

Back in the cabin, Tang Song didn't sleep, indeed, after such a night of tossing, he was tired, and he was afraid that he would not be in the mood to sleep.

Xiao Linghu and Feng Xuan each climbed into their beds and lay on the bed, looking at each other, both thinking about the package. At this time, this package was beside Xiao Linghu, covered under a blanket.

"Uncle Tang, do you know the Pan Long Seal?" Feng Xuan finally couldn't be provoked, and asked out loud first.

Tang Song was also lying on the bed, back and forth, and when he heard Feng Xuan ask, he was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, but in the dark, Xiao Linghu couldn't see his face clearly.

"Why do you ask this?" Tang Song was a little strange.

Feng Xuan said: "Just now, those policemen were searching for this thing, saying that Yizhimei was stolen in Hankou and came on this boat!" ”

"I see!" Tang Song had actually heard about it just now, but people like him were reluctant to talk more about it with others.

"Uncle, what the hell is the Beaulieu Dragon Seal?" Xiao Linghu was also asking.

Tang Song had no choice but to say: "That is actually a seal carved from a stone, which is engraved with the words 'Ordered by Heaven and Yongchang'." Because the back is carved with a dragon, it is called a dragon seal. ”

"Ordered by heaven, and subject to Yongchang?" Feng Xuan thought and couldn't help but say, "Isn't that the jade seal of the country?" ”

Tang Song smiled: "It would be good if it was the jade seal of the country!" Oh, the real heirloom jade seal is made by Qin Shi Huang with He's bi, and it was damaged at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and it was inlaid with gold. This Beaulieu Seal is complete, it's a fake! ”

"If you know it's a fake, why is it so precious?" Xiao Linghu didn't understand.

"It's a fake, but it's also an antique!" Tang Song said: "This seal, I don't know what dynasty made it, and it was later collected in the Qing Palace." After the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, a eunuch stole it out when he left the palace, and the eunuch ran to Wuhan, and when he died, his conscience found out, and he donated this thing to Wuhan University and hid it in the Hankou Bank. ”

Listening to Tang Song talking about the origin of this seal like a treasure, Xiao Linghu asked strangely, "Uncle, how do you know so much about this thing?" ”

Tang Song smiled: "I only found out about reading the newspaper some time ago. ”

"Newspapers?"

"Yes!" Tang Song said: "April 29th is the birthday of Emperor Showa of Japan, and the diplomatic department will definitely send someone to celebrate his birthday, even what gift to give is also discussed. But there are also many people in China who oppose it, although this seal is not a jade seal, but it is also the original emperor's thing, to give the seal of 'under the command of heaven, both by Yongchang' to the Japanese, that is not equivalent to giving China to the Japanese? ”

"I see!" Xiao Linghu suddenly realized.

"April 29 is next month, isn't this coming soon?" Feng Xuan couldn't help but understand.

"Yes!" Tang Song nodded, and when he mentioned this matter, he was like a passer-by, who only regarded it as a talking point and did not comment.

"What is the purpose of Yizhimei's stealing the dragon seal?" Xiao Linghu couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, the devil knows!" Tang Song said casually.

Feng Xuan said: "This Yizhimei is either a patriot, he is afraid that this seal will really be given to the Japanese, so he stole it; Either he is a mercenary scum, and he steals it when others make a bid. ”

"It doesn't matter what his purpose is, as long as this seal doesn't go into the hands of the Japanese!" Xiao Linghu said.

Tang Song smiled bitterly: "This is not necessarily a good thing, the Japanese have always been eyeing us China, they want such a seal, we can't satisfy them, maybe they will use this as an excuse to put diplomatic pressure on us, in order to dig out their greater interests." ”

"Is it that serious?" Xiao Linghu was skeptical.

"The so-called diplomacy is no trivial matter, let's wait and see!" Tang Song sighed, turned his head and stopped talking.

Xiao Linghu pressed his hand on the package, and wanted to get up immediately to open it several times, but in the end, thinking of Feng Xuan's words, he still held back.
