Mu Yuan ran to the cultural play market in the central district of the capital early in the morning, he didn't know about antique cultural toys, it was this cultural play market, or when he was a freshman, he and Zheng Bu and Viagra went to the people's auditorium to play. It was because he didn't know how to do it, and after Mu Yuan arrived, he realized that he had come early, although it was almost ten o'clock in the morning, but none of the antique shops were open. It's no wonder that people who can afford to play with antiques are estimated to be a little wealthy, and it is very likely that these people will not sleep in the middle of the night, but there are not many who can get up early in the morning.

Although he pounced, Mu Yuan was still a little unwilling, and returning empty-handed was not Mu Yuan's style. Since the shop is not open, he plans to go around to see if there are any stalls, and he has seen many stalls selling copper coins before. After going around for more than half an hour, Mu Yuan really found a few stalls in a remote market next to the People's Auditorium. These shops are a bit like the kind of bazaar in the countryside, the stalls are all sticking to the shelves set up on the roadside, and they are covered with sun umbrellas, because there are no people, and the owners of several stalls are gathering together to smoke and play cards.

Mu Yuan didn't want to disturb the interest of others, so he watched by himself on the side of the stalls, and these stalls were filled with small things, like a grocery store, what magnifying glasses, jade balls, walnuts, paper and pencils, silver dollars, copper coins...... Makihara also saw the kind of comic book villain book that he used to read when he was a child.

"Want to buy something?" The stall owner, a young man less than thirty years old, saw that Mu Yuan stopped in front of the stall, so he buttoned the playing card in his hand and ran over with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Oh, I want to buy some copper coins!" Makihara said.

"Copper coins, there is!" The stall owner pointed to the side of the stall, walked over and opened a waterproof sheet that had been covered, revealing a large pile of copper coins.

At a glance, Makihara saw that the quality of these copper coins varied, some were polished and shiny, some were rusty and incomplete, and on the edge of this pile, there were copper coins strung with ropes, and even knife coins. However, the color of the knife coin is a little strange, the color is a bit like cement, the small one or two centimeters, the large one dozen centimeters.

"I want to buy some Five Emperor money, do you?" Mu Yuan casually flipped through the pile of copper coins, and found that most of them were Qianlong Tongbao, different sizes, and poor quality, if they were picked up one by one, it would take them to find it for most of the day.

Emperor Qianlong reigned for 60 years, called himself "Ten Perfect Old Men", and created the last glorious and prosperous era in feudal society with his "cultural and martial arts", plus the Taishang Emperor who was a few years old, the issuance of this currency is definitely among the best. In the history of a lot of grass-headed emperors, or in troubled times, the ruler turned on the stove, the printing press moved, and the large-scale issuance of coins was not a new thing, and it was called stimulating economic development, to put it mildly, it was to dilute the wealth of the common people and achieve the purpose of exploitation and exploitation, after all, many resources were not born and did not grow, and the common people wanted to buy them with real money.

"Yes! Little brother, you are going to arrange feng shui, we have a bundle here! The boss said as he took out strings of copper coins from the bundled coins.

As I have said before, the five emperor money is divided into big five emperor money and small five emperor money, the big five emperor money refers to the Qin half tael, the Han five baht, the Tang Dynasty's Kaiyuan Tongbao, the Song Dynasty's Song Yuan Tongbao and the Ming Dynasty's Yongle Tongbao, and now the five emperor money generally refers to the small five emperor money, which is Shunzhi Tongbao, Kangxi Tongbao, Yongzheng Tongbao, Qianlong Tongbao and Jiaqing Tongbao.

Mu Yuan took out a string from it, a string of five, which was the little five emperor money.

"Is there any money for the Great Five Emperors?" Makihara asked.

The boss was stunned, he didn't expect Mu Yuan to know the difference between the big and small five emperor money, but then said: "That's not it, this big five emperor money is not easy to find." If you want to arrange feng shui, this little five land money is the same, and my five emperor money has been opened, so I am sure that it is good! ”

Mu Yuan didn't know how much difference there was between the effect of the big and small Five Emperor Coins, but he knew that the Five Emperor Coin must have never been opened. Kaiguang is a religious ritual that is now available in Taoism and Buddhism, but before the Song Dynasty, Kaiguang only referred to Taoist enlightenment. At the beginning, there was no such word in Buddhism, but there was a ritual of blessing Buddha statues, which was somewhat similar to the enlightenment of Taoism. The reason why Buddhism did not open the light before the Song Dynasty is because the enlightenment ritual of Buddhism was first seen in the fifth year of the Taiping Xingguo in the Northern Song Dynasty (980), when Shi Hu, the master of the Northern Indian Wuchu Kingdom, translated the "Buddha Says Everything is as Good as the Samadhi Ritual Sutra" in the Kaifeng Taiping Xingguo Temple Translation Institute. And the consecrated items cannot be placed at will like this stall owner, and they generally have to be sincerely enshrined in order to maintain the faith and mental power of the consecrated items.

"How do you sell this?" Makihara asked.

"Two dollars a piece, this string of five, exactly ten dollars!" The boss said.

"So expensive?" Mu Yuan was a little surprised, he felt that this little Five Emperors coin was a few cents a piece.

When he built a house in the countryside, he would string the copper coins with red rope and weave them into a beautiful Chinese knot and tie them to the big red paper pasted in the middle of the beam. Mu Yuan still remembers that he and Yang Song carried a ladder to the beam of the house to dismantle the copper coin, and after removing the copper coin, they tied the chicken feathers into a tuft, passed through the square hole of the copper coin, and then wrapped it with strips of cloth to make a shuttlecock.

"I want more, boss, you can give it cheaper!" Although Mu Yuan doesn't know how to bargain, he still understands the truth of asking for money on the spot.

"Little brother, how much do you want?" The boss asked.

"I want twenty sets, a total of 100!" Mu Yuan was planning to buy more, in case he lost a few pieces, he would save another trip.

"One hundred, two hundred in total, come on, you give one hundred and eighteen!" The boss stomped his foot and made a ruthless heart, "1818, if you want to send it!" It's early in the morning, I'm trying to open, and you're begging for good luck! ”

Mu Yuan thought to himself that this boss is quite ruthless, if you buy a hundred, it will be cheaper for twenty yuan, which is no different from a lot of points.

"One hundred!" Mu Yuan came directly to cut it in half.

"A hundred? No, it's too little, I can't even get in! The boss's head shook like a rattle, "These are all copper coins of good quality, and I can't get them on for a dollar, so you give one hundred and fifteen!" ”

"One hundred and two!" Makihara made a price again.

The boss thought about it, and finally nodded and said, "Okay." One hundred and two is one hundred and two, and I should open it! ”

Mu Yuan was quite satisfied with the price, but he didn't know that the boss had already classified him into the list of wronged people. This thing was bought by catties, and this hundred pieces are a lot, but they don't even have a catty, and the purchase price is less than twenty.

After paying the money and loading the copper coins with satisfaction, Mu Yuan couldn't wait to rush back, wanting to go back and experiment with the six-pointed star array, but before he could stop the taxi, the mobile phone rang, and it was Wei Chongyu who called.

"Makihara, you're not in class?" Wei Chongyu thought that Mu Yuan was in class, but the noise from the mobile phone showed that Mu Yuan was not in the classroom.

"No, I'm outside, Team Wei, are you looking for me?" Mu Yuan thought that Wei Chongyu was collecting debts, so he said: "I am a little eyebrow about the case ten years ago, but there is still a long way to go before the case is closed!" ”

"Not that case!" Wei Chongyu said, "I have a new case here, I need you to come over, where are you?" I'll send a car to pick you up! ”

"No need, I'll just take a taxi!" Makihara said.

"It's okay, as soon as possible, I'll send someone to wait for you downstairs!" Wei Chongyu hung up the phone after speaking.

New case? Mu Yuan thought, what kind of new case is it, listening to Wei Chongyu's tone, he is quite anxious, but he has not heard any major movements from the Southern District Public Security Bureau in the past two days. Moreover, this case has found itself again, is there something evil that has happened?
