Chapter Twenty-Five: The Ruler of the Town

"When Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan, he brought many national treasures with his ships, one of which sank near Xichijiao."

I nodded, "I've heard of this, it is said that there was more than one sunken ship at that time, and many rare treasures in the Forbidden City are underwater." ”

"Well, the small pack of snuff bottles we fished from the boat in Xichijiao at that time, I didn't expect it to be the characteristics of the palace Yangxin Palace during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, there are six in total, Hetian jade, colored glass, rhinoceros horn, ivory, cloisonne, blue and white porcelain, one for each material." When Uncle Liu said, his expression was a little proud.

"And how much did it sell for?"

Uncle Liu stretched out the thumb and little finger of his right hand and put on a "six" posture, "When we shipped, the one with the lowest price sold for the money!" ”

"Ahh The least can be sold for 600,000, so much! I looked at Uncle Liu's fingers in surprise.

The second master became very unhappy at the moment, and said to me with disdain: "Brother, you can also grow up!" The lowest price was sold for 6 million, and the six sold for a total of 40 million! ”

"Huh? This! "Hearing them say this, I suddenly didn't know what the concept of 40 million was, I only knew the boss of my mouth.

At this time, Uncle Liu bent down and said to me in a gentle tone: "So, brother, even if you want to use it to save people, you have to know how much this thing is worth." ”

He stretched out a hand, "Can I take a look at this jade plate?" ”

I was stunned, held the jade plate in both hands, and handed it to him.

Uncle Liu carefully took the jade plate with both hands and gently stroked it with his hands.

"Second brother, look, this" The second master leaned over and looked at it, and their faces instantly became very ugly.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong with this jade plate or what?" I was nervous by their expressions.

"Xiaolong, long face, close the door, I won't see any guests today." Uncle Liu shouted.

The little dragon answered, and went out with Long Face to close the door.

Uncle Liu stretched out his hand and pointed to the inner room, "Brother, take a step to speak." ”

The two brothers led me into the inner room, closed the doors and windows, and left Mr. Four Eyes outside, and they put the jade plate on the table, and they all knelt down in unison, and kowtowed three times to the jade plate.

I was confused by their actions, should I continue to stand, or should I kowtow with them? Turning Jianglong likes to do this, no wonder Liu Sanye knelt down and kowtowed or something when he was fine.

When his brothers stood up, the three of us sat down around the jade plate, and the second master spoke: "What do you call brothers?" ”

"Ding Jia."

"Brother Ding Jia, you also know our brothers, we are all our own family, today we don't know each other, just this jade plate, let's get straight to the point." Second Master Liu's words were very heavy.

I sat up straight and looked at the two of them with nervous eyes, "Two brothers, please speak, please know everything, talk endlessly." ”

Second Master Liu said to me, "Okay. This thing is not as simple as Qin Shi Huang giving Xu Fu a tribute to the sea god, this is definitely an artifact of the pre-Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang will not be stupid enough to give it to others casually at this step. ”

"But as for what it is, we can't say for sure now, but it's certain that it's not something that can be used as a metaphor for 'priceless,' and it will certainly have other uses, you see."

As he spoke, Liu Erye pointed to the middle of the jade plate, "This rectangle is not found in all the jade artifacts of the Qin Dynasty, that is to say, this jade plate is not a popular style or the emperor's exclusive use at that time, it must have been polished for some purposes." ”

"Hmm." I nodded, and my eyes carefully looked at the gap in the middle of the jade plate, which was indeed not an ordinary ornament.

"I think it's very likely that this jade plate is part of something else." I say with absolute certainty.

"If you sell it for some money, it's absolutely a ruin." Uncle Liu stared at the jade plate and muttered.

"Now we have to find the robbers first, give them some money, or directly dismantle the third child's flowery intestines and rescue your friends. As for this jade plate, we don't know its value at all, so we must not rush into it. Second Master Liu's eyes were still staring at the jade plate.

"Okay, what does Uncle Liu mean?" I asked the boss directly, and he said it.

"I also mean this, the same as the second child, as for this jade plate, you can put it with us for safekeeping. After your friend's business is settled, if you are interested, you can discuss the mystery together. Boss Liu crossed his hands together, and his eyes glanced at the jade plate as he spoke.

I saw his small action, and I was really uneasy, "It's not that I don't believe in the two Liu Ye, our family has a big business, and I'm not afraid of thieves stealing and thieves." ”

After saying this, I immediately thought about it, "I went to the bank to set up a safe deposit box business and put the jade plate in the bank, at least until now, the chance of the bank being stolen is still very small." ”

As soon as they saw me say this, the two of them looked at each other and didn't refute again, after all, they had known each other for less than a day, and although Yupan was good, they were not short of money and power, and they mainly wanted to find the third brother who had been missing for almost two years.

I carried the waterproof bag, just wanted to put the jade plate in, suddenly felt that there was a hard thing in the mezzanine of the bag, I opened the zipper of the side pocket, and found that there was a bronze medal inside.

"What is this?" Liu Erye reached out and looked at it.

"This is what my brother cut from the passage under the sea, I don't know how much money I can buy." I remembered that Shanzi dug it out of the wall with a knife.

"Why don't you use this to swap people with those robbers?" I had an idea, and I really wanted to be able to replace him with a bronze medal.

Liu Erye took the bronze medal and looked at it over and over again, for fear of letting go of a detail, "Qin Dynasty bronzes, judging from the quality of this piece, there are about 80 to 1.2 million on the market. "This Second Master Liu is really powerful, and he can directly give the price range.

"It's okay to trade it for five people." As he spoke, the second master shook the bronze card in his hand twice.

Listening to his words, I was a little lost, where to find these five people, and I don't know if Liu Sanye didn't tell the man, saying that we got the white jade, not this bronze medal.

Second Master Liu saw my thoughts, and comforted me with a smile and said, "Ding Jia, don't think nonsense, they will definitely be fine, and of course your girlfriend." ”

"Oh, you guys misunderstood, she's not my girlfriend." I explained.

"Okay, okay, we're all here, so there's no need to explain. Now our first task is to find a place where the gang is hiding, so that we can exchange money for people. ”

The second master's face changed again when he said this, "Alas, I complain about the third bastard, and I have to pick up his skin when I find him!" ”

Uncle Liu took the bronze medal from the second master's hand, looked at it carefully, he looked at it from the front to the back, and even touched the entire side, and then shook his head slowly, "It's too similar, it's too similar, it's impossible." ”

"Big brother, what are you talking about, like what?" Liu Erye was confused.

"I remember when I was a child, I saw a ruler in the master's study, which was also made of bronze, and it looked very similar to this bronze medal, not only the size, but also the words on it."

"Coincidentally, or maybe you're mistaken, at this time, Ding Jia and they fished out from the bottom of the sea."

"Well, maybe it's because I don't remember it well after a long time, this thing that just broke a hole in the bottom of the sea can't be the same as the master's thing." Uncle sighed.

The second master patted the uncle's back, "Okay, big brother, the important thing now is to find those people and rescue the friends of the Ding Jia brothers, the third brother should be fine, I'm afraid that that group of people will be bad for others." ”

Hearing Liu Erye say this, my heart suddenly 'chuckled'!
