Ding Jiaqi didn't know that she had been discovered, so she asked, "Brother Zhang, why are you looking at me like this?"
Zhang Jing laughed in his heart, Ding Jiaqi is still the best actor.
Not wanting to expose her now, Zhang Jing said as an excuse, "You seem to have gained weight recently. Eat less meat."
snort!
Ding Jiaqi looked unhappy.
Return to the shore, return the boat, get your deposit back, and drive seventy minutes back to the winery.
Considering that Xu Zehong reminded the source to be legal.
Zhang Jing had a voice recorder on and called Barbie to the haunted house of the winery alone.
Barbie killed Xiao Songyuan and took away the gold jade. She was afraid that the police would find evidence, so she threw the gold jade into the lake to sell the stolen goods.
Zhang Jing had previously promised not to call the police or threaten her with the murder.
When Barbie arrived, Zhang Jing immediately saw a pistol hidden behind her, with the muzzle pointing downward at a 45-degree angle.
Zhang Jing boldly turned around and walked into the living room.
Barbie followed Zhang Jing and quickly noticed a stack of rice dollars and the gold braided jade she had thrown away on the coffee table.
"I found what you lost," Zhang Jing pointed at the jade and said, "I'll give you 10,000 yuan. You should think that I bought it with my money."
"Why did you give me money?" Barbie asked doubtfully.
The real reason is to make the existence of Jin Jade legal. Although the source of Barbie is illegal, Zhang Jing bought it with money, which is quite a money laundering and is instantly clean.
Doing this may be unnecessary, or even a waste of 10,000 meters, but there is a saying - if you often walk by the river, your shoes will warm sooner or later.
To avoid getting your shoes wet, a little caution never goes amiss.
Considering that the other party had a gun on him, Zhang Jing said softly:
"I plan to send it back to the Dragon Kingdom to sell it. This gold and jade belongs to you, and you should share its value; not earning every copper coin, not earning the last copper coin, is an old proverb of the Dragon Kingdom."
I don’t know what Barbie was thinking, but she happily put the 10,000 yuan into her pocket, and the deal was concluded.
....
Ding~ding~
Late at night, at 4:30 in the morning, the phone rang.
"Hello, Professor Xu." Zhang Jing greeted sleepily.
"Congratulations to Zhang Jing," Xu Zehong said excitedly on the phone, "That piece of gold and jade is a good thing!"
Zhang Jing suddenly woke up, "What's the origin of it?"
"Perhaps you will find it incredible," Xu Zehong introduced, "There is a high probability that your gold and jade came from the Mughal Empire and the hands of Han craftsmen."
"Associate professor of Xu University, do you know what you are talking about?"
Although Zhang Jing was not good at reading, he also knew that the Mughals were a country in the northern part of Indy in the Middle Ages. His heart suddenly became cold and he emphasized the word "vice", which was obviously a sign of ridicule.
The characters engraved on the gold and jade are clearly Japanese, which is completely irrelevant. Isn’t Xu Zehong an expert?
"You brat!" Xu Zehong cursed angrily on the phone. "If I read more books, I wouldn't be so ignorant."
"Say it." Zhang Jing said more seriously.
"The Mughals were an empire built by Baber, a descendant of Genghis Khan and Timur. This man entered Afghanistan from Shache in Western Xinjiang and abducted many craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty."
"Is this what you guessed?" Zhang Jing interrupted Xu Zehong and asked.
"There is a clear record in the almanac. The gold and jade you found perfectly proves the fact that Han craftsmen entered the Mughals in large numbers."
Zhang Jing looked at the gold and jade in his hand, why couldn't he see many connections?
Knowing that Zhang Jing could not understand, Xu Zehong explained, "The gold wire weaving technology on the surface of jade, let me tell you this, a sow can climb a tree, and the Japanese in the Middle Ages could not make such a beautiful thing."
"There is also jade, obviously high-quality Hetian jade."
As expected of an expert, he really knows a lot.
"No," Zhang Jing didn't understand. "Even if the Mughals had Han craftsmen, they couldn't fly to Japan across thousands of mountains and rivers, right?"
"Is it possible that a Han craftsman from the coast brought a piece of Hetian jade to the Japanese country?" Zhang Jing asked rhetorically.
"Haha..." Xu Zehong laughed happily on the phone, "Yes, it is possible. If so, the value of the gold and jade in your hand will be greatly reduced;
An ordinary piece of gold-covered jade, even if it is an antique, has value, but because of a piece of evidence, it changes from being valuable to priceless. "
Zhang Jing was confused. Looking at the thumb-sized gold seal in his hand, why couldn't he see it? Where is the evidence?
"Do you have the jade in your hands now?" Xu Zehong asked.
"exist."
"The gold seal has four sides. Look at the side with lines. Turn it sideways and look carefully. Once you understand it, you will understand why it is priceless."
Zhang Jing turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, held the gold-covered jade seal in front of his eyes, and observed carefully.
At first glance, it looks like a strip of jade wrapped in gold netting, with the Chinese characters of Japan engraved on the bottom.
Xu Zehong reminded on the phone, "In the Middle Ages, around 1600 to be precise, the Dutch were already familiar with the eastbound route. They once occupied Penghu and were driven away by the Ming army. After that, they went to Japan to find a new trade foothold."
Zhang Jing was embarrassed, he still couldn't see anything.
Xu Zehong continued to remind, "Around 1600, what is now Mumbai was once a British colony. The British and the Dutch were allies at that time. Can you understand it now?"
Zhang Jing's eyes stared at the intertwined lines of jade and gold threads, his eyes slowly widened, and he said in an extremely uncertain tone: "It seems to be - a map???"
"Yes, yes!" Xu Zehong looked like he was crazy. "It's not very obvious, but it's the map. From Mumbai southward, we go around the Sikkim Strait, the Bay of Bengal, the Temasek Strait, Longguo Bay, and finally the Japanese state."
"Using the natural texture on the surface of gold wire and jade to make maps, this requires extremely high skills!"
Feeling that his blood pressure was soaring, Zhang Jing asked for advice: "What does the Chinese character "Gold Seal of Japan" mean?
"Date Masamune, the seventeenth generation governor of the Date family, a famous daimyo in Ou during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, and the founder of the Sendai clan in the Edo period."
Guessing that Zhang Jing didn't understand, Xu Zehongyi said simply and horrified, "Just understand him as the local Tibetan king. This man suffered from smallpox when he was a child and lost his right eye. He was nicknamed 'One-eyed Dragon Masamune'."
Zhang Jing understood that the Han craftsmen first followed the Mongols to the Mughals, then boarded a ship from Bombay and sailed for three or four months to reach the Japanese country.
Then make a gold seal for Date Masamune.
Later, the history became a mystery. I don’t know why it was exiled from the Japanese country to Seattle.
"How much is it worth?" Zhang Jing asked the question he was most concerned about.
When it comes to value, there is silence on the phone.
After a while, Xu Zehong said seriously, "The reason why this craftsman has good intentions is that he is afraid that he will not be able to find his way home;
He has been wandering outside for more than four hundred years. Zhang Jing, please donate it and let him go home. "
Zhang Jing's first reaction was disdain, "Your wife is seriously ill. If I sell her, I can still get some for you, but if I donate it, there will be nothing left."
Xu Zehong was silent for a long time, and then hung up the phone gently.
Zhang Jingneng could feel Xu Zehong's sadness and was sad that the poor unknown craftsman could not go home.
This makes Zhang Jing quite unhappy, he only loves money!
