Chapter 253 Taking advantage of the situation
3000 million, although it is not an exorbitant price, it is still not a low price.

After all, it is a hidden object from a deep pit. Not only is it difficult to get rid of, but once it is exposed to the light, it will inevitably cause trouble.

What's more, there are too many gold and silver artifacts in this batch of raw mines, and only one piece of jade artifact. Although it is a national treasure, it also has the property of being destroyed when exposed to light.

There was not a single piece of porcelain, pottery or other burial objects. To be honest, Gao Dongxu really couldn't understand who the owner of this tomb was. It was really strange that he could be buried with a white jade cup with double dragon ears bestowed by the emperor, but there was no porcelain.

As for whether the stall owner kept the porcelain, Gao Dongxu had no doubt about it. This group of wandering immortals were seeking wealth, so if there were porcelains they would definitely not keep them. After all, it was a one-shot deal, and with the porcelains, they dared to ask for a higher price.

Thinking of this, Gao Dongxu didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "I'll only offer 20 million. You're a jerk, and the variety of items is too monotonous. Not only are they all gold and silver items, but it will also take time and effort to restore a large part of the gold items..."

"Twenty million is too low..." When the stall owner heard Gao Dongxu's bargaining, he immediately shook his head and refused. He knew better than anyone whose tomb he was robbing this time, and he also knew very well the value of these raw tombs. He just didn't dare to say it out loud for fear of scaring the sellers and no one would dare to buy, leaving him with a loss.

Gao Dongxu shook his head and stopped talking, as if he had given up. He stepped back and allowed other interested people to come forward to appreciate and bid.

However, despite the example of Gao Dongxu, no one offered a price higher than two thousand, which made the stall owner very depressed. However, he had no choice. Gao Dongxu was telling the truth, otherwise he would not have sold all the good and bad items at once.

Of course, what makes the stall owner most depressed is that this tomb is actually a collapsed tomb. They directly dug out the coffin in the main tomb chamber. Otherwise, there would not be no porcelain left.

These gold and silver wares, and this white jade cup with double dragon handles, were all burial objects in the coffin. Especially this white jade cup with double dragon handles, the tomb owner held it in front of his chest with both hands, which shows how much he loved this white jade cup during his lifetime.

Just as everyone was gathered around the stall with different thoughts in their minds, suddenly a gong sound echoed throughout the cave. Gao Dongxu clearly saw that everyone's eyes lit up, and then they turned around and walked away quickly, rushing towards the auction table.

Guests from all directions were walking towards the auction table, and each one of them was rushing to get in as fast as the wind.

"Let's go, hurry over there. I didn't expect to encounter such a big auction tonight. We are lucky." At this time, Huang Li reached out and pulled Gao Dongxu's arm with a somewhat excited voice, and quickly walked towards the auction table, completely ignoring the somewhat anxious stall owner.

"Sir, sir, let's discuss the price..."

Seeing all the customers leaving, the stall owner became a little anxious. He knew that once the gong sounded, a big sale would happen tonight, and the popular goods in his hands would lose their appeal.

Hearing the stall owner's anxious plea, Gao Dongxu's eyes flashed with cunning, and he turned around and said to the stall owner: "1500 million, if you want to sell, let's do the deal now."

"You--" Although he was wearing a mask, Gao Dongxu knew how ugly the stall owner's face was just by listening to his tone.

"My friend, you're going too far. Taking advantage of others' misfortune?!"

"Haha, the stuff is yours. It's up to you to decide whether to sell it or not. I'm not forcing you." Gao Dongxu chuckled, his eyes flashing with playfulness and cunning. He ignored Huang Li who was trying to pull him hard and said in a low voice, "This batch of your stuff will definitely die in the open. You'd better get rid of it quickly and find a place to hide for a while."

"You—" The stall owner's eyes flashed with cold ferocity as he stared at Gao Dongxu, "What do you mean?"

At this moment, Huang Li looked at Gao Dongxu in shock. No matter how hard he pulled, he didn't move at all. He listened to the conversation between the two and slowly let go of his hand.

"I'll go over and see what's going on. You guys chat."

Gao Dongxu turned his head, glanced at Huang Li, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll come find you later."

Huang Li nodded, and without asking him how he found him, he walked quickly towards the auction table.

Gao Dongxu looked at the stall owner with a cold look and smiled, "Let me be frank. The tomb you're robbing this time isn't an ordinary one. There's absolutely no way you can get away with it. 1500 million, I'll give you in cash, enough for you to hide away for a while. I'm buying this trouble, so I'm taking risks myself. I'll give you three minutes to think it over."

Gao Dongxu ignored the stall owner's wandering gaze and raised his hand to look at his watch to count the time.

"Wow--"

At this moment, a burst of shocked exclamations came from the direction of the auction table.

Gao Dongxu turned his head to look at the auction table, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he showed impatience.

And these exclamations became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the stall owner. He knew that the ghost market would have a big hit tonight and all buyers would scramble for it, so he would not be able to sell the goods in his hands tonight.

Gao Dongxu's guess was correct. The owner of the tomb they robbed was the most famous Wan Guifei of the Ming Dynasty, who was 17 years older than Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen and the father of Wan Zhen'er, who was the favorite of Ming Emperor.

Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, also known as the Chenghua Emperor, was the son of Zhu Qizhen, a Ming Dynasty war god and a student studying abroad in the Oirat Mongols. Wan Zhen'er served as his nanny and caretaker. Wan Zhen'er was the same age as Zhu Jianshen's biological mother. After Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, Wan Zhen'er was granted the title of Imperial Noble Consort and became his exclusive favorite, a major reason for her subsequent dominance over the Ming Dynasty's First Imperial Noble Consort.

Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty only loved Wan Zhen'er in his life. Wan Gui was born into a commoner family. When she was in her forties, she was still working as a minor clerk in the county government. Later, she was demoted to another place because of the crimes committed by her relatives.

However, the Wan family became noble because of their daughter. Wan Gui and his son were successively promoted to the heads of the Jinyiwei, and were fully responsible for the safety of Emperor Zhu Jianshen's travel. They were directly responsible to the emperor and could arrest anyone, including royal relatives. They were a domineering family that no one dared to offend except the emperor at that time.

In other words, these burial objects were almost all royal artifacts bestowed by the emperor himself.

The stall owner was in a hurry to sell because the tomb collapsed on its own. After they discovered it, they rushed to the Cultural Heritage Bureau and violently excavated the main tomb chamber, opened the coffin and looted the burial objects. This is why there are no other types of burial objects. They fled overnight and came to Qishan, hoping to sell it, take the money and go out to hide for a while.

"Cash?" the stall owner confirmed through gritted teeth.

"It's all cash." Gao Dongxu knew that he had a sure thing.

"Okay, but you have to pay the Ji family's commission." The stall owner said angrily with some frustration.

"Okay." Gao Dongxu agreed readily.

"Wait a minute--" The stall owner stared at Gao Dongxu's mask and eyes, and finally said helplessly, then turned and waved to a man wearing a ghost mask and a black robe not far away.

Soon, the black-robed ghost-faced man came over, glanced at the stall owner and Gao Dongxu, then took out a notebook and pen and asked, "Transaction amount?"

"1500 million in cash--" Gao Dongxu said in a low voice.

The ghost-faced man looked up at Gao Dongxu and said, "Give me your room card—"

Gao Dongxu didn't hesitate, took out the room card from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

The ghost-faced man registered the room card number, then returned it to Gao Dongxu and asked, "Transaction time?"

Gao Dongxu checked the time, then glanced at the bustling auction table, thought for a moment, and said, "Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock."

"Okay." After the ghost-faced man finished registering, he looked at the stall owner and said, "You know the rules. The goods will be sealed—"

"I know." The stall owner nodded.

The man with the ghost face turned around and made a gesture to his men not far away. Soon, two men with the ghost face came over carrying a stainless steel welded iron box. They took off the lid of the box, and under the witness of the stall owner and Gao Dongxu, they carefully placed the cultural relics into the iron box with a sponge.

After everything was installed, the stainless steel lid was put on, two iron locks were locked on each side, and eight seals were added. After checking that everything was correct, the ghost-faced man carried the box away.

Afterwards, the stall owner left Gao Dongxu and ran towards the auction table without saying hello. Gao Dongxu laughed and walked quickly towards the auction table. He was now very curious about what the first treasure of tonight would be.

When he arrived in front of the auction table, there were too many people and he couldn't squeeze in, so Gao Dongxu had to tiptoe to look at the treasure display table in front of the auction table.

An exquisite bronze mirror? !
At this time, the host on the auction table was talking incessantly about the legends and stories of the Eight Mirrors of King Qin.

After Qin Shi Huang conquered the world, he collected many rare treasures from the six kingdoms, among which the eight ancient mirrors were the most precious, and they were called the Eight Mirrors of Qin Shi Huang.

The Eight Mirrors of the King of Qin were all passed down from the Warring States Period, and each mirror has special abilities.

For example, there is the Three-Life Mirror that can show one's past and future lives, as well as one's current appearance; there is the Qin Wang Bone Mirror that can see the bones and veins of a person's body, and so on.

Each mirror is so magical and mysterious that it can be called a magic weapon.

"...This is the bronze mirror of the founder of the Legalist School, one of the Eight Mirrors. It is a Legalist bronze mirror that can suppress evil and crooked ways!"

“Is this true…?”

"What era is this? Why are you still using evil ways... One shot, and all beings will be equal."

"That's not the case. What if you run into a ghost? Avoid physical damage. Just use a mirror..."

"Stop the bullshit. Who has ever seen a ghost? Everyone has a cell phone these days, and they're still talking about ghosts. They're already ionizing radiation before they even take shape."

"Fuck, is there such a thing?"

The previous exclamations have now turned into cheers full of joking and ridicule.

In response to this, the host did not get angry or say anything to suppress the discussion, but instead allowed the ignorant people to make fun of and talk about it.

People like Gao Dongxu, who had some knowledge of the inner world, or had seen rice dumplings, monsters, and strange walking immortals in the tomb, all had solemn expressions, their eyes flashing with greed and heat, staring at the Legalist bronze mirror.

There is no other reason. For tomb robbers, this is the supreme artifact for digging into tombs. With such a mirror, no matter how dangerous the tomb is, they can find out the inside.
