In the late Qing Dynasty, the great powers and bandits invaded the land of China, burning, killing and looting! Do no evil!

One of the most famous is the burning of the Old Summer Palace.

It is rumored that when the Empress Dowager Cixi built the Old Summer Palace, she spent countless financial resources, except for the fairyland-like Old Summer Palace at that time! There is also a group of bronze statues known as peerless treasures, called: Zodiac!

This is according to the history of the Chinese zodiac civilization carved into the treasure, although there is only a head, but it completely restores the characteristics of each zodiac animal, their workmanship is very fine, the shape is perfect.

It is said that the most famous craftsmen in the entire capital were mobilized to create the bronze statue of the 12 zodiac signs was originally placed in front of the main gate of the Old Summer Palace to guard the fortune of the Qing Dynasty!

Unexpectedly, the defeat in the First World War led to the burning of the Old Summer Palace, and when many thieves arrived at the Old Summer Palace, the first thing they snatched was the bronze statue of the zodiac!

Over the years, this group of lost treasures has been traveled abroad several times, through the hands of all kinds of people, and I don't know how many times they have been sold and how many people have been transferred.

But none of them have returned home!

This is a regret in the hearts of many people, and it is also a big stone that is difficult to put down in the hearts of many people in the antique street!

Originally, I thought that this thing had not been traced since it drifted overseas......

It can be said that it has appeared in the list of treasures opened by Yamada Ichiro.

It seems that when the great powers of various countries were selling it, it fell into the hands of the Japanese several times.

Such a situation also made several masters of the five veins fall into contemplation.

Because they all know very well that these zodiac signs not only have excellent quality in themselves, but also have an indescribable historical value of their existence!

The Chinese culture is broad and profound, and sometimes, the value of some cultural relics does not lie in their role and appearance, but more importantly, they represent the culture of the time! Representing the culture of China, the value here is invaluable! What's more, this thing also set off a lot of wind and rain in the capital back then.

The Old Summer Palace was burned down, but you can see the style of the Old Summer Palace from these things!

Such value is sufficient.

And with their great names and appearances, once they appear, they will immediately set off a storm in the antique world of Beiping......

Now they finally understand why the Japanese are so confident, because they also know the value of these zodiac signs to the five veins, as well as the value to the Chinese people, so they will include them in the list.

Although there are only three, but the preciousness, there is definitely there, if these things can be invited back to Huaxia, their value is indescribable, because of this, the anger before the five veins will be eliminated, because their eyes are now all on the twelve zodiac signs........

"How? After reading the conditions we gave, Master Shen should have some new ideas, right!? Noticing that the expressions of several people in front of him had changed, Yamada Ichiro asked with a chuckle.

What he wanted was the expression of the people in the five veins.

Because only with such an expression can there be hope for the next cooperation.

This also means that their plan has been successful this time!

The voice fell

Interrupted the gaze of several people

Handing the list booklet in his hand to the people around him, he frowned silently and looked at Ichiro Yamada in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency's purpose for coming this time is because of this thing, right?" Not bad....... I really value this thing very much, but ........ That's not the key to our cooperation! Since this is just a list, how can I be sure that what you have in your hands is real or fake!? ”

Silence is calm! He also knew that what the Japanese in front of him was just a list, and the list could also be faked, and as far as they were concerned, as long as they did not see it with their own eyes, it could not be used as evidence.

And the Japanese are very cunning, according to their habits, it is quite possible to prevaricate even with some fakes.

Therefore, let's not mention cooperation for the time being, the current silence is to verify whether this treasure is really in the hands of the Japanese!

After hearing this, Yamada Ichiro nodded with a smile, as if he had expected it, and clapped his hands to the people behind him.

In the crowd, two Japanese men walked in from the outside with a box in their hands.

They opened the box as soon as they placed it on the table

Under the lights

I saw that in the box, it was a bronze statue of a snake head with fine workmanship!

The bronze statue was very well preserved, there was not even paint or rust around it, the appearance of the snake's head was very detailed, the scales and eyes, as well as the snake's mouth and the apricots that spit out were lifelike, and under the light, it looked shiny.

It was as if those eyes had come to life, glowing with a faint glow.......

"In order to prove the sincerity of our Japanese Chamber of Commerce, we have specially brought one of them, you can refer to it at will! Use your abilities to identify whether this thing is genuine! Ichiro Yamada stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture!

Such an attitude also made everyone in the five veins look at each other.

Ichiro Yamada in front of him is very confident, and his words have also caused questions in everyone's hearts!

Could it be that this thing is real!?

But just speculating is definitely not enough, since Yamada Ichiro has said so, then they will naturally not be polite, after all, this thing is originally a treasure of China.

It just so happened that they were all good at appreciating treasures, and now they no longer hesitated, and immediately surrounded them!

Among the five veins and four gates, each has its own strengths

And this time the bronze statue is very important, and the four of them will not be sloppy, so they all came together immediately and began to verify it using their own methods.

In the process of verification, Ichiro Yamada sat next to him, waiting for the results very calmly.

The rain was still dripping outside the door

Every now and then there would be a muffled sound of thunder

in the house

The four people of the five veins were busy working left and right, and they all took out the gatekeeper skills of each family and began to carefully examine this treasure.

Until a few moments have passed

Only then did a few people slowly raise their heads

As they looked at each other, they nodded lightly at each other.

Except for the silence, the other three showed with their movements and eyes that this thing was real!

This also made Shen Mo hesitate in his heart, the last time the Japanese came to show that the value was obviously not enough, and Shen Mo did not have the idea of cooperating with the Japanese, so the last negotiation was only halfway to the end of the conversation!

But this time, the value of the bronze statues of the zodiac did attract them, and in any case, this thing is not low in the ranking of antique streets.

Since the Japanese are bringing this thing to us today, what they need to exchange must be extraordinary.

So the current silence did not directly agree even after confirming that the bronze statue in front of him was genuine, but turned his gaze back to Yamada Ichiro in front of him, and said, "We have seen this thing, but we don't know ........ What does Mr. Yamada want to exchange with us this time!? ”

Shen Mo didn't rush to answer whether this thing was real or not, but turned to ask the other party about the origin of this time.

After all, he is an old fox who has been in the antique business for many years, and all the words he has said from the beginning to the present are ambiguous! Neither agreed nor refused, but kept using questions to trick the other party.

Because he doesn't trust the Japanese, he has to figure out all the circumstances of this matter! Leaving aside whether to cooperate or not, at least, we have to ask the Japanese people what they want before making a decision!

After listening to Shen Mo's words, Yamada Ichiro stood up, bowed to Shen Mo in front of him, and immediately said: "Master Shen, the purpose of my Japanese Chamber of Commerce here this time is also very simple, I have added new goods to represent my sincerity in Japan!" And we don't want anything from the last time! ”

"I, the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, have taken out these many treasures, and I just want to exchange them for a treasure with you!" He raised his index finger and chuckled at the crowd in front of him!

The same!?

Eighteen for the same!?

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the five veins was immediately shocked, and they all glanced at each other, with countless doubts in their hearts.

What kind of wishful thinking are these Japanese people having?

Eighteen for one? What kind of baby does that have to be?

Could it be the treasure of China?

Many doubts sounded, which also made today's silence feel bad, because when things go wrong, there must be demons, and the Japanese are so sincere, but it seems that this matter is not so simple.

Thinking of this, Shen Mo immediately frowned, and his hands holding the dragon's head crutches were slightly tightened, he gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice, "What baby?" ”

This question also represented the doubts in the hearts of everyone present, and they turned their eyes to Yamada Ichiro's face at this moment.

Seeing Yamada Ichiro in front of him, he smiled lightly, bowed to everyone again, and then spoke: "The treasure of the Mingyutang in the Wu Zetian period....... White Jade Buddha Head!!
