MTL - Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes-Chapter 948 some interesting clues

  Chapter 948 some interesting clues

  Ten antiques were placed on the table one by one, Zhou Yang immediately suspended the business, how could such a good learning opportunity be missed. Yesterday, Li Mo picked up a big leak in front of all of them, and he just sat there and took a peek, and there was something to gain. There must be some tricks in it.

   "Professor Li, there are a total of ten antiques here, please take a look first."

  The bald man thought that no one knew what they were doing, so he didn't reveal at the moment that they had been identified by an expert.

  Li Mo remained calm, looked carefully one by one, and finally put them back on the table gently.

   "Professor Li, how are you doing?"

"Things are old things, and the time should be in the early Qing Dynasty. Things are not ordinary. There are top beads, court beads, and basket-carved dragon and phoenix jade pendants. But the people who use these things are not ordinary. To be precise, the top beads and court beads are from the Qing Dynasty. The court clothes of the dynasty were equipped with accessories as standard, and the dragon and phoenix jade pendants were only used by the royal family. Such antiques are rare in the market, and are basically collected in museums."

  The five people looked at each other, and Li Mo's appraisal was almost the same as Professor Liu's. It seems that these ten antiques are real, and Professor Li in front of him has nothing to hide.

   "Professor Li, do you have any explanations for these Dingzhu and Chaozhu?"

   Zhou Yang asked modestly from the side.

"Then let me briefly say that the top beads of officials in the Qing Dynasty are divided into three, six, and nine grades. The top beads of first-rank officials are made of rubies, and they are the best pigeon blood in rubies. A pigeon was sold at an auction a few years ago. The blood ruby ​​top bead was sold for a high price of 1.1 million."

  The five people's eyes lit up when they heard it, as if the top beads in their hands were very valuable, as if they saw millions of dollars being thrown at their heads.

Li Mo glanced at them and continued: "The top bead of the second-rank senior member is red coral. According to the current market price, a gram of red coral is about 7,000 yuan. Why does a red coral top bead cost more than ten grams? The price itself can be sold When it reaches around 100,000, considering the historical value, the price of red coral top beads will still be quite a lot, but it cannot be compared with pigeon blood ruby ​​top beads.”

"The next step is the sapphire top bead of the third-rank officials. In fact, sapphire is also a high-end gemstone. It is one of the five major gemstones. One of the characteristics of sapphire is uneven color, so this affects its value. And sapphire is compared to ruby. Compared with red coral, it is not so rare, so it can only be regarded as the upper-middle level. Now the value of one carat sapphire is about 3,000 to 5,000, so the value of the top bead of a third-rank official is not bad. .”

  Li Mo drank his saliva, and did not introduce other top beads, but pointed to the three sapphire top beads on the table and said: "These three are the sapphire top beads used by third-rank officials."

  The bald man is a little confused. The top bead of a first-rank official is worth more than one million yuan. The top bead of a third-rank official seems to be worth tens of thousands of yuan. The gap in his heart is like riding a roller coaster from the peak to the bottom.

"Let me talk about Chaozhu again. Chaozhu is a kind of hanging object of Qing Dynasty dress. There are a total of 108 Chaozhu, and a big bead is inserted between every 27. There are four big beads, which are called sub-beads. According to There are differences in the size and status of official products, the beads and the colors of the sash. The materials of court beads include Dongzhu, jadeite, agate, kyanite, coral, etc. As for the value, the difference is not ordinary. Let me say that it happened once. Passed. Ten years ago, precious jadeite beads from the Qing Dynasty were unveiled at the Sanxitang Spring Auction on Hong Kong Island. This string of green emerald beads was given to Emperor Guangxu by the Empress Dowager Cixi, who in turn presented it to Concubine Zhen , the starting price is 180 million yuan, you can imagine how high the final transaction price will be."

  The starting price is 180 million!

  The people present were silently digesting this information in their hearts, and they were too far away.

   "Professor Li, I would like to ask, how much are my two court beads worth?"

   The bald man asked carefully.

"The two court beads you brought, one is made of kyanite, the value is average, at most hundreds of thousands, and the other is red coral. Judging from the quality, this one is worth a lot. I guess if it goes up for auction Three million should be no problem."

"three million!"

The five people got excited, they never thought that a piece of Chaozhu could be worth three million, thanks to that enthusiastic brother Wang, who not only helped them introduce Professor Liu from the Magic University, but also suggested that they come directly to Professor Gu Yunxuan Li, You are right.

"The remaining five pieces are all jade articles. It stands to reason that they should have flowed from the imperial palace. But I have carefully looked at the carving techniques. Compared with the carved dragon and phoenix jade pendants that flowed from the Qing palace, the details are still the same. It lacks that feeling."

  Others could not understand, but only Zhou Yang realized it. He asked, "Mr. Li, you mean that these five dragon and phoenix jade pendants were actually carved in imitation of royal dragon and phoenix jade pendants in the early Qing Dynasty?"

   "Haha, you really got the point." Li Mo gave him a positive smile.

   "But if this is the case, it would be a serious crime against the Jiu Clan."

  Li Mo still nodded, and said solemnly: "So I guess the origin of these things may be unusual."

   Then he looked at the five people who were confused: "These antiques and the ones you sold to me yesterday are really handed down from your ancestors?"

  The bald man quickly promised: "Professor Li, we can deceive anyone, but we dare not deceive you. These things are indeed from our ancestors. To be precise, we found them from the ancestral hall of our ancestors."

   "Since it is ancestral, why did it have to be sent to Shanghai for sale?"

  The five of them looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces.

"If it's inconvenient to answer, I won't ask, but I can't pay for these things. If the real owners of these things are not the few of you, they are all stolen goods. If I buy them with money, I will still be punished by you." I will also consider returning the painting you sold to me yesterday, or report it to the police station. "

  As soon as they heard that Li Mo would not buy any more, and wanted to return yesterday's words, the five people became anxious. The bald man could only smile wryly and said: "Professor Li, these antiques are indeed from our ancestors, and we have no choice but to take them to Shanghai to transfer them. First, if the ancestral treasures are sold, then we will all be pointed at the spine by people of the same clan. Damn. Second, for these treasures, people from the same clan have already started a fight seven or eight times, and every time someone got their head broken."

"A few days ago, these things were almost stolen by people from the neighboring village. The oldest old man in the clan proposed to sell them all. The money from the sale would be used to renovate the ancestral hall and build a new one in the east of the village. The bridge is convenient for the children in the village to go to and from school, and it is also convenient for the villagers to communicate with the outside world. Therefore, after the election, the five of us represented the same clan and came to Shanghai with treasures. The main reason is that people say that Shanghai is an international metropolis. There are also a lot of rich people, and our ancestral treasures may be sold for more money."

  Li Mo listened to the same thing: "You guys are fighting fiercely, did you already know that these are very valuable?"

  The bald man shook his head: "Our ancestors were farmers, let alone a few million, even tens of thousands are enough for us to fight for. Professor Li, can you still accept these things?"

   "If what you said is true, then I can buy it. But if you don't go out and inquire about the price, there may be a boss with a higher estimate than me."

   "No need, we still trust Professor Li."

  Li Mo thought for a while and asked: "You have heard the old man say, what did your ancestors do?"

"About this, we really have records. The surname of our village is Wu. Going forward two or three hundred years, it is said that our ancestors are actually somewhat related to the Pingxi King Wu Sangui, and they used to be Pingxi King's personal bodyguards. , can be regarded as coming from a famous family.”

  Li Mo put down the mineral water bottle, and said in surprise: "Your ancestor still has something to do with Wu Sangui?"

"Professor Li, these are all passed down from generation to generation by the elders of the Zongli. It has been two or three hundred years. Our genealogy has been broken for more than a hundred years. No one knows the truth of the past history. But Professor Li is very concerned about these truths. Interested, I can ask the oldest one when I go back, he is 101 years old this year, his bones are not bad, but his ears are a little behind, and his eyes are not very good."

Li Mo looked at the ten antiques on the table, thought for a while, and said, "I bid a total of 150,000 yuan for three pieces of sapphire top beads, 180,000 yuan for kyanite chapel beads, 3 million pieces for red coral chapel beads, and five carved pieces. The price of Longfeng Yupei is 500,000, how about it?"

  The five people showed surprise on their faces, and then they all began to mutter, wringing their fingers and silently calculating the total amount.

   "Don't forget, the total is 3.83 million yuan."

   Zhou Yang gave an accurate number.

"so much!"

  The bald man seems unable to imagine how much 3.83 million yuan is, and how many years he needs to work hard to farm.

   "If there is no problem, I will sign a sales contract with you right now, sign and deposit, and more than 3 million yuan can be transferred and paid immediately."

   "No problem, of course no problem, these antiques belong to you, Professor Li."

   Next, he signed and confirmed, and Li Mo immediately paid money successfully. When they received the text message from their mobile phone, several people were obviously relieved, and each of them fantasized about the beautiful life in the future.

   "Mr. Wu..."

   "Professor Li, you should call me Lao Wu, otherwise I won't get used to it."

  The bald man feels that he is not worthy of the title of Mr. Wu.

   "Old Wu, when will you go back to your hometown? I may go on a trip in the near future. If I pass by your place, I will stop by and see you."

"We will buy tickets to go back today. Professor Li, if you can come to our place, we will naturally welcome you warmly, but we are not afraid of your jokes. Although our place has many mountains and rivers, but because the terrain is not flat enough, there are many ethnic minorities living in the villages. The economic development is not very good, so the conditions in that place must not be comparable to those in Shanghai, I am worried that you will not get used to the food and accommodation there.”

   "Haha, how can I see that I am so delicate."

   "Alright then, I'll leave you an address and phone number. Professor Li, if you have a chance to visit there, you must contact me."

   "That's for sure."

   After chatting for a while, the five of them left Gu Yunxuan nervously. Li Mo played with the antiques on the table one by one, especially the five dragon and phoenix jade pendants.

   "Uncle, didn't the TV show say that Pingxi King Wu Sangui tried to rebel and proclaim himself emperor? Perhaps these things were made by Wu Sangui for the officials to wear in order to become emperor."

  Chen Xiaoyan expressed her thoughts.

Li Mo just smiled: "I'm leaving for the Yunnan-Guizhou area tomorrow, firstly, to avoid the representative of the royal family who came from the Eagle Kingdom, secondly, I have the same guess as you, if I don't figure it out, I will always miss something. You go to Kyoto tomorrow, and your aunt will settle you down."

"No, I finally had the opportunity to go out and see the world. Of course, I followed you, little uncle. Besides, my elder brother, Brother Brown Bear, they are all injured and not completely recovered. I happen to protect you with me. My Goro The gossip stick method is still very powerful. I dare not say that one is against a hundred, but a dozen strong men may not be able to do anything to me. I heard that the people in the Yunnan-Guizhou area are tough, and they will fight if they disagree. It's normal."

   "What's the matter with you, a girl who hasn't left the cabinet, following me all day long? I'll just transfer some people from Security Shield Company."

  Li Mo waved his hand in disagreement.

   "Little uncle, I didn't think about it that much. Besides, if you walk upright and sit upright, you are afraid of rumors and rumors."

  Okay, if you don't agree, you will feel guilty.

   "Then you look at the ticket now, we will start tomorrow. Then you contact Brother Brown Bear and ask him to transfer 20 people to go directly to Yungui, and we can meet there."

  Chen Xiaoyan has a lot to offer if she is trained well, unlike that Chen Xiaofeng, who cannot be supported by mud.

  Back home, Li Mo was lying on the sofa, and was about to make a call to Si Rui, when she saw a video request from her. After connecting, the two daughters competed to call him daddy at the camera, and Li Mo laughed happily with their childish voices.

   "Xiaomo, Grandpa has something to tell you." After Qin Sirui finished speaking, he saw Mr. Shi enter the camera. He sat the two babies on his lap and asked, "When will you return to the capital?"

   "Grandpa, I'm here in Shanghai."

   "If there is nothing to do, I will rush back immediately. It said that there is an important task for you."

   Li Mo really guessed it right. He pretended not to know anything and said, "Grandpa, I'm planning to go to Yunnan-Guizhou area early tomorrow morning."

   "What are you going to do there?"

Li Mo smiled and said: "I found some very interesting things here in Shanghai, and I also found some interesting clues before, so I am going to go to the Yunnan-Guizhou area to see if I can find more clues. "

  Master Shi was silent for more than ten seconds.

   "Have you received any gossip?"

"I just saw some news on the Internet. I don't want to meet those people. Otherwise, when people make some shameless and excessive demands, do you think I should agree or refuse? Anyway, I think no matter what, That scene was very sad, so I might as well find a legitimate excuse to stay away from the capital and let them mess around.

   "Since you think so, go there early and wait until tomorrow to do something. Yunnan-Guizhou area is full of mountains and rivers, you find a place with a beautiful environment to hide in, and you will give up if they can't contact you."

   "Grandpa, you are taller, I will pack up and leave right away."

   "Stinky boy, I think about treasure hunting all day long."

  Master Shi put down the two children, laughed and cursed and walked away.

   "Little Mo, have you transferred people from the safety shield?" Qin Sirui asked with concern, "It's such a hot day, you should pay attention to prevent heatstroke outside."

   "Don't worry, we will meet tomorrow. You and senior sister have been hiding for the past few days. I guess they can't be contacted. I will definitely keep in touch with you."

   "I'm going to hide in the farm in Yanjiao tomorrow."
