The years when I was Captain Jin

Chapter 232

"You ordinary businessmen, when you appraise an antique, you only look at its appearance and age, but what I look at is its history!" The old man said lightly.

I was startled by what the old man said, and secretly thought that I still underestimated this old blind man.

Although this old blind man is dressed like an African refugee, I can't wait to reward two steel coins.

But he is definitely a hidden master!

Because it is just a simple sentence to point out the most valuable part of the antique, which is absolutely impossible without decades of experience.

It's a pity that the fat man is still not convinced, and he still cursed and said: "You old bastard, the fat man's jade pendant came from the palace of the Qing Dynasty, why has no history?"

"Hmph, for example, can the same piece of clothing, worn by the Empress Dowager Cixi, be the same price as that worn by ordinary people?" The old man sneered, with strong contempt.

"Take this Nine Dragons jade ring as an example! Although it is very beautiful, the carving is still too simple. It is obviously a thing specially given to eunuchs in the palace. Little fat man, you said that this jade pendant has been passed down in your family for eight lifetimes. Your ancestors should Wouldn't it be a eunuch?"

Let me go, this old man's mouth is really poisonous, he even said that the fat man is a descendant of a eunuch.

I tried not to laugh out loud, but the fat face of the fat man was already red and purple with anger.

He gritted his teeth and cursed at the old man: "Fuck, you are the eunuch, and your whole family are eunuchs!"

"No one in the Jianghu has ever dared to talk to me like this. I am old and I don't want to see blood. Otherwise, ten years earlier, you fat man will not survive twelve o'clock tonight." The old man pulled his face and said: " Do you know the origin of this jade pendant?"

"I don't know." I shook my head.

"Well, take a closer look, is there a dragon engraved on this jade pendant, but it only has three claws?"

Hearing what the old man said, I quickly snatched the jade pendant from the fat man's hand and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, a three-clawed little dragon was carved on this jade pendant.

It's really strange, the dragons in ancient China have always had four claws, isn't the dragon with three claws deformed?

What does this mean?
I quickly asked the old man: "Old man, did the three-clawed little dragon say anything?"

Seeing that we all looked like curious babies, the old man showed a contemptuous smile again: "If I guess correctly, this should be something that Emperor Guangxu bestowed on Li Lianying."

When Li Lianying was mentioned, all of our eyes lit up. After all, Li Lianying is so famous, he can be said to be a well-known eunuch.

You don't need to know the history, but you must have heard of the three great eunuchs in ancient times!They are Zheng He who went to the Western Seas, Wei Zhongxian who has power in the court and the public, and Li Lianying, the favorite of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

The most famous among them is Li Lianying. Li Lianying was originally a rascal. In order to make a living, she simply eunuched herself with a knife and became a eunuch in the palace.

After entering the palace, Li Lianying relied on her three-inch tongue to praise the Empress Dowager Cixi into a flower, and even went so far as to become the old witch's male favorite, calling her Lafayette every day.In the end, he became the chief eunuch with one person above ten thousand, and even the prince had to go around when he saw him.

But what puzzles me is how does the old man know that this jade pendant is related to Li Lianying?

Just when I was about to ask, the old man continued: "As we all know, this Li Lianying is a great eunuch. At that time, the Eight-Power Allied Forces captured the Forbidden City, burned down the Old Summer Palace, and scared the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu all the way to Chengde." Summer resort. In order to let the Eight-Power Allied Forces retreat, Emperor Guangxu bit the bullet and signed the "Xin Chou Treaty." Being caught and beheaded by the Qing soldiers, the scene was horrible, the blood flowed like a river, and tens of thousands of people lost their heads overnight..."

"These Boxers originally wanted to help the Qing Dynasty fight against foreign invaders, but now they are killed by their own people, how can the resentment in their hearts be appeased? So since then, every night when Emperor Guangxu sleeps, he will hear mournful cries from outside the house. And it was accompanied by shouts of 'give me back', 'give me back', and even the lights in the room would be turned off on time after twelve o'clock!"

"In this way, Emperor Guangxu couldn't sleep well for a few days after being tortured, and his appearance was haggard, and none of his servants dared to approach Emperor Guangxu's room. But at this time, Li Lianying stood up, and he volunteered to guard the door for Emperor Guangxu. At night, I stood at the door to guard Emperor Guangxu, and whenever I saw those headless ghosts, I cursed loudly, as the saying goes, ghosts are afraid of evil people, and slowly these ghosts will disperse."

"Emperor Guangxu was ecstatic. He repeatedly praised Li Lianying as a loyal slave. He wanted to take off the jade pendant on his waist and give it to Li Lianying, but he was persuaded by the ministers. The ministers said that the emperor's jade pendant was carved with a five-clawed golden dragon. That is the symbol of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. Didn’t you hurt him by giving it to an eunuch? It is a rebellion if an eunuch wears a five-clawed golden dragon! Xiaolong's jade pendant was given to Li Lianying, this is the origin of Nine Dragons' jade ring..."

"That's not bad!" Before the old man finished speaking, the fat man shouted loudly: "Although this jade pendant was not worn by the emperor, it was given to Li Lianying by the emperor. It's fine, it's fine."

I was so frightened by the fat man's voice that I almost choked to death on the instant noodles, and immediately rolled my eyes at the fat man and said, "Damn fat man, can you stop being surprised."

"Can't you be surprised? Think about it! Since this jade pendant is a witness to a period of history, it is the only one in China. It must be worth the old man's money. The fat man has a hunch that it is about to be distributed, and it is distributed..."

"Little fat man, I haven't finished my words yet." The old man sneered eccentrically, and without even looking at the fat man, he picked up his teacup and took a sip and said, "Although Emperor Guangxu gave Li Lianying a piece of tea to avoid suspicion. The jade pendant of the three-clawed dragon, but an eunuch cannot wear a dragon after all! So from then on, Li Lianying began to have bad luck. First, she did not like the Empress Dowager Cixi, and then she was reported for corruption and bribery. It was confiscated, and when he was old, he had a big dysentery on his throat, and finally died without any medicine. Therefore, although this jade pendant is valuable, if you know its details, you will not take it for free, because this thing It’s an ominous thing, causing disaster by ruining money!”

Fatty, Wang Yuanchao, I, and I were all taken aback when we heard this, but we didn't expect that the jade pendant in Fatty's hand is so exquisite, and it's also an ominous thing.

The fat man slapped his thigh with remorse even more: "Fuck, it turns out that this thing is a waste of money. No wonder the fat man has been losing money in business for the past few years, and he was kicked out of his stall. Even in the next fight, he can't find a good thing! And my dead ghost father, he insisted on being the most loyal soldier of the party and the country when the four olds were broken, he smashed all the valuable antiques in the house, and only left me this broken jade pendant... "

I wanted to comfort the fat man, but suddenly the fat man took out a small thing from his pocket furtively, and then quietly put it in front of the old man and said, "Old man, I have another treasure here, please help me." see?"

The old blind man was originally wearing a pair of sunglasses, and he sat there with his eyes closed and rested with disdain.

But when he saw the things that the fat man put on the table, the expression on his face changed instantly, and even the hand holding the walking stick was trembling.

Even the long-legged sister Yu who was next to her took a few unexpected glances at the fat man!

Suddenly being so valued by two people, the fat man immediately became elated, feeling that he had a lot of face.

I was also wondering, what exactly did the fat man take out that shocked the old blind man who ignored everything so much?But when I saw something like that, my heart suddenly sank.

It's Xia Shu, and the fat man actually got a Xia Shu engraved on the giant sheep's head door!
I cursed in my heart, this fat man, after all, he still brought things out secretly.While we were not paying attention, he must have touched a fragment that the fourth girl had dug out and stuffed it into his pocket.

Of course, what makes me most angry is that the fat man showed such an important thing to outsiders without telling me. Is he trying to kill us?
