"It's out, it's out!"

"It looks like it should be something from the past, you look at the style of that big tin bucket, it's definitely the same as before!"

"It's so exciting!"

"Hurry up and open it! See if there's really a treasure inside?! ”

Everyone was shouting, and the cameras in their hands were flashing, lest they miss this historic moment, after all, everyone cared if it was a treasure left by the British.

It is said that there are very valuable paintings and porcelain, which were very valuable antiquities in the past, and may be even more valuable now.

At this time, Director Kang brought a large megaphone, and then shouted to everyone, "Everyone, please be quiet, I have something to say!" ”

Although everyone was very anxious, they still gave him more face when they saw Director Kang speak, but their eyes were fixed on the big tin buckets that were constantly being fished up, lest they miss any detail.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone must have a common sense that what has just been dug up cannot be easily seen." Director Kang said, "Adding these things is the treasure of the year, so for calligraphy and painting, after years of burial, it is easy to oxidize in the air." ”

"yes, there's that saying."

"So Director Kang, what is your opinion?"

After all, the reporters are all cultural people, and they still know a little about this aspect, and when they heard this, they immediately realized that maybe Director Kang did not advocate opening these big tin buckets in front of them.

However, what Director Kang said is also right, in case these big tin buckets are really filled with calligraphy and paintings, they are really not suitable for direct opening, just like the strokes in some thousand-year-old caves, when they were first opened, the color was very bright, but in front of the excavation eye, those bright pigments were quickly oxidized in the air at a speed visible to the naked eye, and turned into a dull pattern.

Just like the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang that were excavated before, or Tang Sancai or something, there is also a similar situation.

For this reason, no one can guarantee that after these large tin buckets are opened, the calligraphy and paintings inside will also turn into a pile of ashes, so it is still appropriate to be cautious in this matter.

"My opinion is that we should first ask the experts from the Cultural Relics Bureau to give some advice, and then we will consider whether to open these large tin buckets, I wonder if you think it is safer to do this?" Director Kang said.

After listening to it, the reporters felt that Director Kang's opinion was also more pertinent, although they were anxious to see if there was anything in it, but if they really made a wrong decision at this time, it may mean that there is no way to write future reports.

It is not always possible to write in the newspapers, "Because of the strong demand of the journalists, the government personnel opened the large tin bucket, and as a result, the calligraphy and paintings inside instantly oxidized and turned into a pile of ashes after encountering the air", if this is the case, their reputation will also stink.

Besides, if you think about it carefully, if these things can be turned on a few days later, then it means that they can hype this matter over and over again in the next few days.

After thinking about these situations, the reporters all agreed with Director Kang's opinion.

Then, at this opportunity, they called their newspapers, magazines, or television stations to inform them of the latest discoveries in the Koi Pond of the Government House, and explained the general situation to their bosses.

The first to react were several local websites, which posted the latest news on the front page, as well as pictures sent back by reporters, especially close-ups of the dug koi pond and the large tin buckets hanging in mid-air.

At this time, Lin Xiao and the others were having morning tea in the hotel.

Seeing the latest news on TV and on the mobile phone network, Han Qi and Concubine Han couldn't help but be surprised, "Ah, I didn't expect that there was really a treasure here!" Lin Xiao, you are so powerful, you can actually find that there is a problem here! ”

Han Qi said with some regret, "It's a pity, if we dig it ourselves, we will probably make a fortune." ”

"That's impossible." Han Ya smiled and said, "The place is the Government House, that is, it belongs to the Hong Kong Island Special Administrative Region Government, how can we have a chance to dig it up?" Even if it is dug up, the treasure belongs to the SAR government and has nothing to do with the diggers. ”

"That's right, even if we dig it, it's all in vain and we won't get any benefit." Han Qi listened and couldn't help but nod and said.

"Why don't they just open those big tin buckets and let us see what's inside?" Han Qi looked at the picture on the TV and asked with some confusion.

The TV host explained the problem very well, "The municipal department, based on the opinion of experts, decided to open these large tin buckets in an oxygen-free environment in order to protect the treasures that may be hidden in them from oxidation. ”

"So, if viewers want to have a sneak peek, keep an eye on our columns."

"According to the disclosure of Director Kang of the Chief Executive's Office, these treasures will be opened in the shortest possible time, please pay attention to our official news, our official Weibo is ......"

The media are frantically reporting on this matter, and it is clear that these treasures left by the British did affect the minds of many people, and everyone wants to know what the British left behind.

"Hey, can this be regarded as a wealth that touches people's hearts?" After seeing these reports, Concubine Han said, "I've heard before that Hong Kong Island people pay the highest attention to money matters, and now judging from these reports, it's almost really like this." ”

"The treasure will definitely attract a lot of people's attention." Lin Xiao replied with a smile, "But it's hard to say what kind of mood they feel when they find out that there is nothing valuable in it." ”

"You mean to say that there may be nothing in it, it's empty?" Han Qi immediately asked very sensitively.

"I'm just saying, there's such a possibility, after all, what the British are like, you know what the British are like, will they leave valuable things here?" Lin Xiao asked rhetorically, "According to the situation at that time, the Japanese were approaching closely, how could the British be trapped in the isolated city?" They must have made preparations for evacuation a long time ago, and these treasures should also be transported away in advance as soon as possible. ”

"So, do you suspect that this is just an empty shell deliberately left by the British in order to calm the hearts of the people on Hong Kong Island?" Hearing Lin Xiao say this, Concubine Han guessed, "So the previous governors of Hong Kong didn't have a lot of thoughts about digging treasures, because they actually already knew that there was nothing valuable here?" ”

"Hehe, you all have a lot of imagination." Lin Xiao said with a smile, "If the truth of this matter is revealed to the world, it is estimated that the British will be more depressed, after all, they have deceived the people of Hong Kong Island for 70 years, which is not a trivial matter." ”

"Hehe, so, that's your real purpose in exposing the location of this treasure, right?" Concubine Han is worthy of being the eldest sister, her brain is quite smart, and her thinking is relatively fast, she immediately understood Lin Xiao's intentions, "If this treasure is not revealed to the world, the British may have the opportunity to continue to play a lofty image in the minds of Hong Kong Island people, but if this treasure is exposed and it is confirmed that the British have been playing and deceiving the public, the disgust of Hong Kong Island people for the British will immediately rise to an unstoppable level!" ”

"Eldest sister, you really think too much...... Lin Xiao laughed dryly twice, "Or maybe I guessed wrong, maybe the British are indeed more honest and will really fill the treasure there, in that case, the SAR government can have a lot of extra income, and the British may also get a reputation for loyalty and honesty, this matter, I really can't say now." ”

It's just that Concubine Han has enough understanding of some of Lin Xiao's practices, she doesn't think that Lin Xiao will do things that she is not sure of, so that the British will lose a good reputation for nothing.

So this so-called treasure is estimated to be really a pile of empty large tin barrels, and this possibility is close to infinity.

"It seems that the chief executive's side may soon open this big tin barrel treasure." Han Ya didn't speak all the time, and finally interjected at this time.

In fact, Han Ya knew best in her heart what was going on with this treasure, since it was something that Lin Xiao had done, how could it be possible for the British to lose a good reputation for nothing?

Regardless of whether there was something good in it before, but now it will definitely not be there, this is definitely a certainty.

"Why?" Han Qi asked, "Didn't Director Kang of the Chief Executive's Office say that according to the opinions of experts, this matter needs to be handled carefully?" He also said that he needed an anaerobic environment to turn it on......"

"An oxygen-free environment is actually very easy to achieve, especially in a place like Hong Kong Island, where it can be made in university laboratories, which is very convenient." Han Ya explained, "And the people are very concerned about this matter, so I judge that the chief executive will order this treasure to be opened in public, so that everyone can see with their own eyes what is inside." ”

"yes, that's the safest thing to do." Concubine Han listened and nodded in agreement, "Otherwise, the incident will be separated for a long time, and no matter what is found inside in the future, it will lose its authenticity, and no one will want to believe it." ”

Sure enough, several people's speculations were confirmed by TV shows.

Shortly after they finished their morning tea, the latest news came on TV, the Chief Executive's Office finally issued a decision on the treasure of Koi Pond, and the Chief Executive asked to complete the opening of the treasure with the support of the laboratory of Hong Kong Island University.

The opening time of the treasure is scheduled for 9 a.m. tomorrow, and the major media on Hong Kong Island will broadcast the event live on TV and online.
