Zhong Qiang repeatedly heard his mother say that he couldn't clean up He Shouyuan now, could it be that He Shouyuan still had any origins? But at this time, he was not in the mood to ask these questions. Holding his left hand, Zhong Qiang's eyes couldn't help but flash with a cold light.

Besides, on this day, Yun Chong was sitting in a classroom listening to a professor explain materials science, and suddenly a person broke into from outside the classroom, it was He Shouyuan. He Shouyuan ignored everyone's gaze, walked up to Yun Zhong and pulled him over, and said, "You come with me, I have something for you to see." Then, whether Yun Zhong wanted to or not, he dragged him out of the classroom with a stiff drag.

Yun Zhong was also very curious, he had seen all the shareholders of He Shouyuan's family. Did this old man have some antiques? So he asked, "What kind of treasure is it that you dragged me out in such a hurry?" ”

He Shouyuan smiled secretly, and then said, "When you get to my house, you will naturally know." ”

This time, He Shouyuan actually paid for the fight, which made Yun Chong a little surprised. When did this old man become so generous, doesn't he usually take the bus? Yun Chong was also happy, lying on the back of the taxi and humming a little song, which was also very happy.

When he arrived at He Shouyuan's house, He Shouyuan dragged Yun Zhong to his study. Yun Chong didn't even have time to answer Su Rong's greetings.

He Shouyuan turned a vase three times from the left and right, and then pressed the vase down hard. Unexpectedly, the vase sank, followed by a squeak of gears. A bookshelf against the wall was automatically removed, revealing a wall. There is a groove in the heel of the wall against the wall, which resembles an ancient tooth token used to catch people. He Shouyuan groped out a brand from himself again, which could just be put into the groove. When He Shouyuan put the sign into the groove, a space of one meter in length and width appeared above the groove. There is a four-legged square tripod in the space.

As soon as Yun Zhong saw this ding, he couldn't help but say, "Good ding!"

If in normal times, He Shouyuan heard Yun Chong praise like this, he was afraid that he would have already jumped up. But this time, it was strange that He Shouyuan didn't have a trace of joy, and his face was full of solemnity. He Shouyuan took a piece of silk, and then took the tripod out of it and put it on the desk.

I saw that the tripod had four legs and two ears, which was different from the three-legged tripod that He Shouyuan bought last time. The difference between this tripod and the others is still in relation to its size. Ordinary tripods, whether they are three-legged round tripods or four-legged square tripods, are at least one meter high, but this tripod is not so much a tripod as an incense burner. Because it's so small. Although the shape of this tripod is majestic, it is no more than 13 centimeters high, no more than 11 centimeters long, and no more than 8 centimeters wide at the mouth. If it is an incense burner, it is also a small incense burner.

Small tripod ears, square belly, except for the center of the four sides of the tripod body is a rectangular plain surface without ornamentation, the rest of the place is decorated. On top of the fine cloud and thunder patterns, each part of the main pattern has its own form. The four sides of the body are decorated with gluttony as the main pattern around the square plain surface, and the junction of the four sides is decorated with the ridge, and the top of the ridge is the head of the ox, and the bottom is the gluttony. There are two tigers on the outer part of the ears, the tiger's mouth is opposite, and the human head is contained in it. The side of the ear is decorated with a fish pattern. The decoration of the four tripods is also unique, and the animal face is applied on each of the three strings. Its modeling, ornamentation, and craftsmanship are all ingenious, and it can be seen that the makers of Xiaoding have spent a lot of thought.

He Shouyuan said on the side: "This tripod is handed down by my ancestors. I have studied cultural relics for half my life, and I still have some eyes on the identification of cultural relics. I can get this tripod for decades, and I will no longer verify its origin all the time. But I searched all the ancient books, read all the classics of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and failed to find the origin of this tripod. That day, I saw that Xiaoyou's attainments in identifying cultural relics were far better than mine. So I'm going to take it out today and see if you know where it came from. ”

Yun Zhong said: "I can't hide it, my attainments in the identification of cultural relics are still far from yours. But I have a natural instinct for artifacts, antiques. Just let me smell it, and I can roughly deduce where it came from. But I couldn't see the origin of this small ding for a while. I have a question, what did your ancestor do?" Although I don't know which dynasty this Xiaoding belongs to, I can't smell any traces of history from Xiaoding's body. That alone is a rare treasure. He Shouyuan, who can have such a baby, should not be born in an ordinary family.

After listening to this, He Shouyuan actually laughed. After a while, he said, "My background may not seem glamorous to others, but I am always proud of it. The little brother is a very human being, and naturally he will not look at people like us from a secular perspective. Since the little brother asked, then I will tell you that my father is the seventeenth generation eldest brother of Hongmen. He Shouyuan's tone was full of pride.

Yun Zhong was also taken aback, he didn't expect that this old man was actually a descendant of Brother Hongmen. No wonder there is a strange temper, but now it can be explained. This is the natural arrogance of Hongmen people. Although Yun Chong had also seen about Hongmen online and in the school's library collections, most of them were vague. When I meet the descendants of Brother Hongmen today, I naturally have to ask clearly. So Yun Zhong asked curiously: "I have long admired the name of Hongmen, but most of the Hongmen on the information are both good and evil, which makes people wonder through, so what is the real Hongmen? ”

He Shouyuan fell into deep thought, and said slowly for a long time: "Hongmen has a long history, some people think that it originated in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, but in fact, its history is longer than that. As far as I know, Hongmen is a Jianghu sect established by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, after reorganizing Mingjiao, an organization in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. That is to say, Hongmen was a weapon in the hands of the Ming Dynasty royal family to deal with the people in the rivers and lakes, and its role was to restrain the people in the rivers and lakes. As soon as there is any sign of a big commotion, it will be strangled in the cradle. Because Hongmen was the royal tool of the Ming Dynasty at that time, it has always been supported by the imperial court either explicitly or implicitly. Even after Ming Chengzu Zhu Di usurped the throne, he still supported Hongmen.

Later, the Ming Dynasty gradually became unconscious, and its control over Hongmen became weaker and weaker. In the past, Hongmen was just a secret sect, but after the decline of the Ming Dynasty, it gradually came to the forefront. After the Ming Dynasty was replaced by the Qing Dynasty, Hongmen began the cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. So Hongmen has been sitting in the position of gang overlord ever since. ”
