Chapter 55: Picking Up the Leak

Li Xiaoqing found Wei Sanye, in fact, he hoped that this Wei Sanye could bring the thin monkey Liu to everyone to talk about it, but as soon as Wei Sanye said this, Li Xiaoqing understood that in this era, the previous set would not work.

Before liberation, people like Wei Sanye had to rely on people to invite them to go out of the mountain to judge things for others. Our traditional Chinese society was a society of human arbitration, such as a dispute within a clan or between several gangs have to rely on respected people to arbitrate, which pays attention to the word rules, if the old generation has a conflict, the first thing that comes to mind is not the official yamen, but the neighbors, let everyone comment.

And like China's current society, everything is about the law, and the law is a loophole to drill, when the legal punishment society is a loophole to drill, the more seemingly complete the legal world, the bigger the loophole can be drilled, people say that our country is not perfect, say that the United States and those European countries have sound laws, but where are the laws still there are loopholes left for people to drill? Wealthy people can hire famous barristers, who are clever and eloquent, so that they can not only escape from the law, but also use these well-established laws against their enemies.

China is a society that pays attention to human feelings, and some things involve more than just legal principles, and in the past, some gang disputes and scandals within the clan cannot be discussed on the surface.

Wei Sanye used to do this, even now, if many businessmen in Panjiayuan have any disputes or the like, they all look for this Wei Sanye to distinguish them. Wei Sanye usually called the two sides together, put a table of eight immortals, put a few plates of snacks, and brewed a pot of good tea, no matter how big the grudge was, everyone had to sit down and chat, Wei Sanye called his arbitration method "tasting", at most Wei Sanye never broke the tea at four or five points in a row. However, Wei Sanye's tasting is for people who understand the rules, but after the reform and opening up, there are fewer and fewer people who abide by the rules, and the number of Wei Sanye's "tasting talks" is also becoming less and less.

Although Wei Sanye, it is estimated that it is difficult to make an appointment with the thin monkey Liu, but today Li Xiaoqing came to this Wei Sanye in vain, at least he knew the origin of Li Sanye and the thin monkey Liu. That's enough, then Li San stunned Li Xiaoqing has seen it, he is strong, he doesn't talk much, he usually looks honest, but he is very shrewd when he starts a business, but Li Xiaoqing has never heard of this thin monkey Liu. It stands to reason that the thin monkey Liu, who is called the king of connections, should be a celebrity, he has been in this Pan homeland for a long time, and he really doesn't know the reputation of this thin monkey Liu.

Li Xiaoqing took this Yanzi and Men Dianpeng to wander around this Pan homeland, Li Xiaoqing didn't mean anything, suddenly he stopped at the edge of a stall, sat on the small stool prepared by the stall owner, and nodded to the stall owner.

Li Xiaoqing casually put on the gloves handed to him by the stall owner, many of the antiques in this antique street are unearthed pits, and they cannot be taken directly with sweaty hands, and they generally wear gloves or hold the edge of the utensils to avoid staining this thing. Li Xiaoqing took a pair of stuffy lion heads and gently coiled them a few times. The boss saw that Li Xiaoqing's methods were quite old-fashioned, and said with a smile: "Brother, my eyesight is good! My stall is worth a pair of stuffy lion heads, I am not blind at all, this is the tree in Haidian District, there are only a few wild ones in the country, this pair is wild, I used to buy it in the flyover, it was the goods before liberation." “

It is said that this wild stuffy lion head is now basically completely extinct, of course, this is not sure whether there are still wild trees that have not been discovered, there are only three known wild stuffy lion heads in the country, one in Haidian, Beijing. There is one wild stuffy tree in Pinggu and one in Mentougou, but unfortunately they are all destroyed now. The walnuts produced by these two trees in Pinggu and Mentougou are really different from the appearance of this one in Haidian. The characteristics of the stuffy tip of Pinggu are flat bottom, long umbilicus, deep texture, moderate thickness, the side is not as wide as the one in Haidian, but it is still relatively thick, and the color is fast. Like the other two kinds of stuffy tips, the tip of Pinggu stuffy tip also has the characteristics of the character "mountain", and there is a bulge on both sides of the tip, which can play a role in protecting the tip, so it looks more prismatic than Haidian's, and Haidian's is relatively rounded. Li Xiaoqing looked at this pair of walnuts and knew that although this was a stuffy lion head, as for whether it was wild, he didn't know, but this pair of things was definitely not from before the Republic of China, because this walnut was not very good, the color on it was not right, and it smelled waxy and obviously old.

Li Xiaoqing touched the lion's head, raised his head and looked at the man and asked, "Brother, this stuffy lion head is in good condition, let's make a price!"

"You can see that this pair of things is indeed a good thing, at least eight hundred yuan. "Eight hundred yuan can do a lot of things in eight years, Li Xiaoqing glanced at this Zhang Yanzi, and suddenly asked with a smile, "How much money do you have?" Li Xiaoqing rubbed his hands and looked at Zhang Yanzi with blank eyes.

"I went out with a hundred. After Zhang Yanzi finished speaking, he gave this hundred to Li Xiaoqing, Li Xiaoqing looked at the hundred yuan, took out another three hundred from this pocket, and then looked at this Men Dianpeng, and Men Dianpeng took out another three hundred from his pocket.

Li Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Brother, I'll have 700 yuan, if you say okay, I'll take the lion head." ”

"Little brother, I see that you really want to buy this thing from me, and I won't hack you, you can take it for 700 yuan!" The man wrapped the pair of walnuts and handed them to Li Xiaoqing.

Li Xiaoqing said as he spoke, "Brother, I see that you still have a lot of copper coins here, I'll pick a few, I've recently committed villains, I'll find a few copper coins to tie on my feet to avoid villains." ”

"Yes, brother, I have five emperors in my house, if you want it, I will still have a stall tomorrow, you can give some money and take it." This person calculated, and he could still make some money from Li Xiaoqing, so he began to get close to Li Xiaoqing.

"Don't bother, I'll pick a few from this little pile. Li Xiaoqing casually jumped out of this large pile of rusty copper coins, and eight or nine of them were in good condition. Li Xiaoqing is also a person who understands the rules, and according to the rules, he picked out the ancient money to show the stall owner. This stall owner buys and sells things for nothing, and the buyer must show the stall owner after picking it out, so as to avoid the stall owner missing the treasure.

"Yes, young man, you are lucky, you have collected two of the five emperor money, Kangxi and Qianlong Tongbao have all gotten it, this is also your luck. Saying that, this person put the money in a plastic bag and gave it to Li Xiaoqing. In fact, Li Xiaoqing also knew that the two Kangxi and Qianlong Tongbao who were in good condition were also fake, and Li Xiaoqing looked at the year that it should be forged during the Republic of China and used to match the money of the five emperors. The Five Emperors have the effect of destroying evil, and have the use of prospering wealth, urging wealth, resolving the five yellow evils, opening the evil, and Tai Sui Fang. Therefore, during the Republic of China, many well-intentioned people began to make a lot of Five Emperors money, and they saved it together to sell it for real money.

However, Li Xiaoqing took a fancy to one of the nine coins, the copper coin of "One Yuanbao", although this money was wrapped very tightly by rust, but Li Xiaoqing still swept it with his divine sense when he passed by. Li Xiaoqing accompanied Jiang Ming to visit this Pan homeland often, sweeping the stalls with his divine sense, and chatting at the same time, which has long become a habit.

The origin of Yitongbao has to start from the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty rebel generals Shi Siming and An Lushan in the name of punishing Yang Guozhong. In the second year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, he fell into Weizhou (now Hebei Daming) on the first day of the first month of the first month and built an altar in the north of the city, claiming to be the king of the Great Sage Yan, and Jianyuan "Yingtian". From the first day of the first month of the second year of the Qianyuan Dynasty to the seventh day of April, the bronze of the Molten Buddha Temple was cast for a penny, and Qian Wenli's book was read. There is a record in it that says: "Shi Siming, according to the Eastern Capital, also cast 'Deyi Yuanbao' money, and the evil 'Deyi' is not a sign of Changzuo, so he changed his text to 'Shuntian Yuanbao'." It can be inferred from this that the abolition time of one ingots should be in the summer of the first year of the previous century. Therefore, the minting and circulation of this ingot, is just a flash in the pan, although it is not in the fifty treasures of ancient coins, but it is quite collectible.

It is said that at that time, the star and moon pattern symbolized "progress" and "success". Shi Siming wanted to please auspiciousness and cast a moon pattern on the coin, so the back of this ingot generally has a moon pattern. Among them, there are coins with moon patterns on the top, bottom, left and right, which are particularly rare, and Li Xiaoqing held this copper coin in his hand, and the patina on it fell as soon as he twisted it, and Li Xiaoqing clapped his hands This is really full of moon patterns.

There is also a story about this ingot, because this thing is not much handed down, there is such a saying in the ancient coin collection industry called "easy to get, hard to find", so the one ingot is cherished by the spring world. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a pawnbroker who was in a hurry to use the money, and this person was estimated to be from a large family, and he was in a hurry to use the money when he passed by, and pawned a treasure to a Shanxi pawnshop. The pawnshop owner in Shanxi couldn't put it down at that time, and immediately gave the pawnbroker "30,000 yuan" without saying a word. The Qing Dynasty's money was 30,000, which was not a small number, and if so much money was exchanged at that time, it was estimated that it would have to be pulled back by a carriage.

Interestingly, the owner of the pawnshop in Shanxi told others that he had deliberately inflated its value and given it 30,000 yuan, so that the pawnbroker would not want to redeem it in the future; I speculated earlier that the pawnbroker who was in urgent need of money was from a large family because of the sentence he said to his friend later, "I deliberately devalued it, and only took 30,000 yuan, precisely so that I could redeem it in the future." This shows how rare this money is.

Li Xiaoqing looked at the copper coin in his hand and said, "Xiaopeng, let's change our clothes and go to Li San's stunned store to have a look." After saying this, he also looked at Zhang Yanzi, who didn't know the antique market, and asked, "Do you still want to buy something?" ”

Li Xiaoqing said with a smile, "Yes, just now the two of you have contributed, counting you as a shareholder, one person accounts for 30%, I account for 40%, and the money will be divided equally, I will go and see the miscellaneous king Li San was stunned." With that, he walked out.
