An oracle bone inscription that came out of nowhere, instantly became an accelerant that ignited the enthusiasm of the gentry around Jinling City, everyone knows the meaning of such an oracle bone inscription, if you can get such a sacrifice, maybe you can please the emperor, you can go through the relationship and become a courtier, the family can also get the plaque and even the treasure of the imperial gift, become one of the best families in the Dayong Dynasty, there will be the gift of good land and beautiful houses, and there will be money and beauty and so on.

As for where this sacrificial text came from, no one knew, they only knew that the origin of this sacrificial text was not simple, or maybe it was just a forgery, after all, they had never seen the entire oracle bone sacrificial text on the market, and even if they found some Fang families to identify it, they couldn't distinguish the authenticity.

“…… Yongning, now Jinling City for this sacrificial text, people are a little crazy, many people are guessing who this sacrificial text is from, most people think that it is made by Shen Daxue, and there are also **** people who say that this is actually some text compiled by the evil cult altar, maybe it is true, but the artistic conception written is not the literary atmosphere, but with the evil spirit, it is used to pollute His Majesty's Shengming! ”

That night, Ji Ning came out to drink with Tang Xie and Han Yu and others, and Han Yu didn't mention it, and for a while, an oracle bone inscription became the focus of Jinling City.

Tang explained: "Now the price of this oracle bone inscription on the black market is one thousand taels, and no one has changed the price for the time being, because it is not yet possible to determine whether this sacrifice is true or false, if it is true, even if it is increased tenfold, it is possible!" ”

"That's right, I heard that a few days ago, there were those big families who wanted to buy the names of their sons and nephews, and they would pay tens of thousands of taels of silver at a time, which would sound crazy, but it happened, and now there is this kind of oracle bone inscription that can be presented to His Majesty, once it is confirmed that it is true, it is really a priceless treasure!" Han Yu said beside him.

Ji Ning smiled, he didn't expect that an oracle bone inscription he wrote casually would have such a big impact.

It was also very difficult for Ji Ning to write oracle bone inscriptions before, but he had an advantage, that is, later generations interpreted a lot of oracle bone inscriptions through some scientific comparison methods, and the oracle bone inscriptions that could be written in this era came more from the inheritance of their predecessors.

He is tantamount to being self-taught, he has not learned the oracle bone inscription from anyone, he has not been exposed to such a profound font, he can actually write and read, his oracle bone inscription, there are even a few words, in the world, even if it is Shen Kang and some famous Confucians, they do not know these oracle bone inscriptions.

"Yongning, how about we go to watch the ceremony together tonight?" Tang Xie asked.

Ji Ning frowned slightly and said, "Someone else wants to sell the article of the oracle bone, let's go to watch the ceremony, is it not a bit of a word?" ”

"If it comes to buying and selling small seals, big seals, it will always give people the feeling that it is insulting, the imperial court prohibits the sale of these, but it is still repeatedly prohibited, mainly because there is demand in the market, there will be people to do this business, if no one even does this line, the people in the market will inevitably have a lot of chaos, always those powerful people want to give their ancestors the sacrifice is written in a big seal or a small seal, the price of the sacrifice written in ordinary words is getting lower and lower in the market, and even many people are reluctant to sell, because the profit is too low." Tang explained, "It's a pity that if you want to buy and sell the small seal sacrifice text, you need to find a large number of people with literary names to come back to do it, and there will be many things that cannot be as detailed and complete as imagined." ”

Ji Ning asked, "Brother Tang wants to do this kind of business?" ”

"I won't go to find this kind of trouble, after all, it's a matter of doing it against the imperial court, but there is that kind of lifting people, and the family background is not good, but you can use a few months or even years to write a small seal text as a subsidy for the family, which is okay. With our current status, there is no need to do these unnecessary transactions. Tang explained.

Han Yu said: "Brother Tang said a little more off-topic, let's talk about today's ceremony, in the past, when it came to black market transactions, the government has always ignored them, and let the transactions on the market be carried out freely." But this time it's different, when it comes to an oracle bone inscription, it is likely that officers and soldiers will be used to protect it, and the people on the **** will also send experts to protect it, so it will be very safe around it, after all, both sides want to get rich, and no one wants to ask for trouble out of thin air. ”

The black market transaction, the government will use manpower to protect, Ji Ning will even feel a little ridiculous, but it is reasonable to think about it, if the government does not protect it, it will be hired by the black market to support the affairs of the three sects and nine streams of the rivers and lakes, and it will inevitably be dominated by the people in the black market, then the majesty of the court will not exist.

The government came forward to protect it, more to protect the reputation of the government from being damaged, and also to ensure order in the city, so that those who trade in the black market know that even if you are doing shady business, you must be under the supervision of the government.

Ji Ning asked, "Will there be a problem of black eating black?" ”

"That's not afraid, let's just say it, the most taboo in the black market is black eating black, in order to prevent this from happening, people from different forces will come out to support the decision when trading, in fact, the people of the government are also coming forward to prevent this kind of thing from happening!" As Han Yuzheng spoke, Song Rui and Xie Tai also came upstairs, and there was also an old scholar who came with them.

Ji Ning thought that the three of them were peers, but depending on the situation, it seemed that they were not.

After Song Rui and Xie Tai came over, the old scholar went to the private room on the second floor.

Tang Xie pretended to be mysterious and said, "Yongning, did you see that person just now?" That's a broker from the capital, I don't know who he is for, but in the local area, he wants to have power, he wants connections, he wants money and money, if he is eyeing the treasure, there is no one who doesn't start, in the past on the black market, he only bought big seal articles, and what he bought was that kind of outstanding! ”

"Who is he?" Ji Ning asked.

"No one knows his name, but in Jinling City, neither the government nor the people of the three sects and the nine streams dare to offend him, maybe those people from the three sects and the nine streams and the government don't know his specific origin, they only know that this person can't be provoked!" Tang explained.

Ji Ning looked at the private room that the man entered, and said: "There is still such a person in the world, it seems to be very mysterious, but no matter how powerful he is, at most he is just a broker of the Son of Heaven!" ”

Xie Tai was stunned: "That's it? Yongning, don't underestimate this kind of person, the powerful people in Jinling City may not be the opponents of these people, because they don't have to follow the king's law to do things, they kill people behind their backs, and the dead don't even know how they died, even if the government investigates it, it's a hasty matter, if you encounter that kind of unreasonable, maybe you look at him, you will know the disaster of killing! ”
