I first wrote down the locations of the two Warring States Tombs in Jize and Zaozhuang, and then showed them to him.
The old scholar took the paper, looked at it twice, frowned and asked, "If you dare to lie to me, do you know the consequences?"
I immediately expressed my position: "I know! But I can only guarantee that the information on these ancient tombs is true. As for whether they have been stolen in the past two years, I cannot guarantee it!"
The old scholar returned the paper to me and asked me to continue writing.
I wrote quickly and wrote down most of the information about the ancient tombs recorded in the Northern Notebook. There were at least forty ancient tombs that had not been discovered.
The old scholar took it over and looked at it carefully for a long time. You could see a little excitement in his eyes.
Then, he folded the paper and handed it to Xiaokai, and said to me: "I can make this deal with you. I will turn a blind eye this time, but I can only guarantee that these agreements are only with me." It's valid while you're still alive, do you understand what I mean?"
"Then I'll pack my things and leave Handan immediately when I get back!"
I understood what he meant. He can pretend that he has not seen me while he is alive, but when he dies one day in the future, all agreements and agreements will be invalid. At that time, it will be up to me whether I will be liquidated or I will continue to live happily. Got lucky.
"No, you can't leave yet," the old scholar suddenly shook his head and said, "You have to continue to stay here at Jiu Qingning, and you have to do something for me."
"you say."
"What I want you to do is very simple, listen... No matter what reason you use, I want you to convince that woman Jiu Qingning, and then let her take the Daimyo's goods to the south to sell them. "
"Why?" I asked with a frown.
Xiao Kai helped the old scholar stand up from the wheelchair. The old scholar walked up to me with his hands behind his back. He said coldly: "In recent years, some cultural relic dealers in the south have been too rampant and don't take us people seriously at all." Here, old man, I must say this, this batch of goods from the north is the most delicious bait, I use it to catch big fish in the deep sea in the south."
I immediately understood what he meant.
At that time, the majority of cultural relics smuggled out of the country were in the south. The north accounted for 30% and the south accounted for 70%! And among the 30% share in the north, the four brothers of the Song family in Luoyang alone accounted for more than 20%!
Let me put it bluntly, this is the top priority to crack down on the smuggling of cultural relics. You know, many national treasure-level cultural relics are shipped abroad by boat in the south! At the same time, I am also secretly glad, because the principle that Boss and I have always followed over the years is: "Sell goods within, not outside!" This time the old scholar's main target is not us!
The old scholar took a sip of tea and suddenly asked: "Xiao Xiang, I also want to ask you, how much did you sell that bird for later?"
"Bird? What bird? I don't know." I pretended not to understand.
The old scholar reminded me with an expressionless face: "I'm talking about the national treasure Wonderbird, the one from Blackwater City."
"Ah? Didn't you take that thing away in the end? There was also the Big Tearing Buddha." I continued to act crazy and stupid, and he couldn't get the truth out of me anyway.
The old scholar kept staring at me.
After a few seconds, he moved his eyes away from my face, looked out the window, and said calmly: "Go ahead and remember our deal. In addition, I hope you will never become like your master, because like that People can be scary.”
After I came out, I was restless. What did the old scholar's last secret phrase mean?
...
(I thought at the time that I was so good that I could negotiate terms with such a big shot. But a long time later, I realized that the reason why I was able to save the day this time was because the old scholar had done it in Yinchuan three years ago. I agreed to the first condition! That condition is to let me go in the future.)
(I don’t know what I paid for it, but it seems that I bought a safety insurance for me a few years ago.)
(In other words, there are some secrets hidden in Blackwater City that I don’t know about during that return trip...)
