This is a vivid bronze statue of the head of a snake, although it is covered with dust, but you can still feel that the eyes of the snake seem to be shining with a cold and cold light, Shakru asked with some curiosity: "Mr. Ezkenna, what kind of collection is this?" ”

Ezkenna thought for a while, and then said with some embarrassment: "Well, I don't know this very well, it is said that it seems to be the faucet of the Chinese emperor, but who would use such a big faucet?" I'm sure it's a vintage piece, but to be honest, I don't really like it, so I've been throwing it here all along. ”

After Ezkenner's explanation, Shakru suddenly remembered what this was, isn't this the twelve beast heads of the Old Summer Palace that had been boiling for a while in the previous life, after watching the dragon's "Zodiac", Shakru also went to check the information, it is said that in order to welcome the return of these beast heads, the country has spent great energy and price, but even so, there are still four pieces that were not returned, and there seems to be this snake head.

Ezkena said that this is the emperor's faucet, but he is not wrong, these portraits of the twelve lives were originally in the Old Summer Palace? Western Building, 12 stone platforms on the north and south banks of the fan-shaped pool fountain in front of Haiyan Hall. The south shore is Zi Rat, Yin Hu, Chen Long, Wu Ma, Shen Monkey, and Xu Dog; On the north shore, they are ugly cows, rabbits, snakes, sheep, roosters, and pigs. These portraits are all animal heads and human bodies, with heads made of bronze and bodies made of stone, hollow with water jets connected to them, and water is sprayed from their mouths every two hours (two hours) to represent the portraits of the birth of that hour; At noon, the fountain gushes out of the mouth of the portrait of the twelve beings at the same time, which is a spectacle. These bronze zodiac statues are 50 centimeters tall and finely carved, making them the finest bronze objects of the Qing Dynasty.

The head of the beast was designed by Lang Shining, a Jesuit priest based in China, who represented the 24 hours of the day with the 12 zodiac signs of the beast's head and human body, and each bronze statue took turns to spray water, which was a magnificent spectacle. In 1860, the 12 zodiac animal heads were plundered by the British and French forces and scattered everywhere, among which the bronze statues of the head of the ox, the head of the monkey, the head of the tiger, the head of the pig and the head of the horse have been returned to China and are collected in the Poly Art Museum; The rat head and rabbit head were donated to China by the French Pinault family free of charge and entered the National Museum.

Although this snake head is certainly not as expensive as Guiguzi Descending Mountain, but the meaning of this thing is different, whether it is to start a business to make money or to satisfy their homesickness, they will definitely have to go to China often in the future, and there is such a treasure in hand, as long as it is operated properly, the benefits and returns that can be brought to themselves are not millions that can be measured.

So Shakru pretended not to care and said, "This thing is made quite similarly, and it just so happens that there is a snake temple near my house, which can be used to worship inside." ”

Ezkenna shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Pandit, sometimes I really don't understand how you Indians seem to worship everything, not to mention cows, even rats and cobras are your objects of worship." ”

Shakru replied vaguely, "Isn't this custom different, hehe?" ”

In addition to the "Guiguzi Descending the Mountain" and the snake's head, Shakru picked up more than a dozen pieces of porcelain with exquisite shapes, and enjoyed an authentic English lunch at Ezkenna's house before returning to New Delhi after bidding farewell to Ezkenna.

But what Shakru didn't know was that at this time in New Delhi, there were several people waiting for him anxiously, these people were not his beautiful bodyguards Petrevova, but five men, of course, they didn't have special hobbies, they were eyeing Shakru's money.

Speaking of the cause of this incident, we have to say that Rajis Company, although at the time of the acquisition, Rajs Vice President Imran kept saying that Shakru's gold chains did not have the value of antique gold, but in fact, Rajis Company has been emphasizing the origin of this batch of gold in publicity, and even engaged in a live broadcast of on-site smelting, because most Indians are religious, so they are eager for this kind of gold from the ancient temple, so many people know that Shakru got a lot of gold in the temple treasure, Bad ideas began to arise, and Tana was ready before Shakru returned.

Tana people are not Indians, but from neighboring Pakistan, in fact, before the partition of India and Pakistan, the two countries were one country, so although there were conflicts on the border, but the people of the two countries are still inextricably linked, so this time Tana and others obtained extremely accurate information, and set up an ambush early on a very secluded road home from the airport.

Perhaps the wait was too long, and Musharraf, who was sitting in the passenger seat, muttered: "Tana, is your news accurate?" Don't that Shakru didn't follow this path, then we'll have to wait in vain. ”

Tana glared at Musharraf and said with some dissatisfaction: "Calm down, you haven't done business for a few years, and you can't hold your breath." I tell you that this information is absolutely reliable, I bought it at great expense from the brother of the maid in the Shakru villa, do you know why they chose this path? ”

"Then who knows, maybe it's afraid of traffic jams?" Zardari said in the back seat.

"On the one hand, that's true, because his beautiful Soviet driver is not used to driving the chaotic streets of New Delhi." Speaking of this, Tana paused for a moment, and then said with a wicked smile: "On the other hand, they are going to make a shock on this secluded road!" ”

Musharraf exclaimed in disbelief: "No, although this road is remote, there are occasional people passing by, so they are not afraid of being discovered?" ”

Tana pretended to know very well and replied disdainfully: "What do you know, rich people like to play this kind of tune, because it is exciting enough, it is said that they usually play more crazy in the villa, and many tricks we have never thought of." And these Soviet women live by serving this Shakru, and now that he has been gone for almost a week, what if he doesn't grasp the seduction again, what if he falls out of favor? ”

Musharraf snorted fiercely and said: "These rich and unkind and extravagant guys deserve to be blown up by us for some money!" ”

Just when a few people were talking, Suleimanhang, who had been holding a telescope to watch the movement in the distance, said: "Don't make any noise, this guy's car is here, ready to do it!" ”
