Chapter 25: Jade Swan
To be honest, at this moment, Zhang Guozhong despises this Prince Howe from the bottom of his heart, which is a typical face of a profit-minded businessman. And no matter what it is in the hands of this piece of jade, know that it is evil but also sold to others to make money, causing other people's families to have accidents, based on this point alone, this favor should not be helped, so that his family died a few people also deserved.
But despise to despise, the younger brother's face should still be taken care of, "Mr. Wang you should not be in a hurry, have something to say slowly, I need to know what exactly happened to your family, what kind of situation your family encountered."
"Mr. Zhang you don't base road, my grandfather likes antiques ah, put all his heart and soul into those things ah, all the savings of his life ah, how much money do you base road have...?"
Zhang Guozhong was helpless, this Prince Howe was as capable of running away from the topic as Captain Li, asking him what evil things he had encountered, he sold his ancestry instead.
"There are more than 200 million dollars!" See Zhang Guozhong does not talk, Prince Howe himself began to talk to the north and south of the sky.
"My grandfather is to do leather business started, and then to the Americas to sell Chinese herbal medicine, you based on the Oh, the Americas silver system how convinced that we China's proprietary Chinese medicines Oh, the most open happy system to rent the tons of cargo ships Oh, after the embellishments simply to their own to buy a Oh ..., specializing in running the Americas Oh ... "
"Mr. Wang, I would like to know, this piece of jade, in your house, in the end there has been what evil things, those buyers is how to die ..." Zhang Guozhong honestly in unwilling to listen to him with this speed of speech slower than ordinary people two thirds of the broken Mandarin to describe his grandfather's history of wealth," Also, is your grandfather his old man alive now, and from whose hands did he buy this piece of jade...?"
"Oh oh, you say this oh, let me think..." drank the water, Prince Howe and said: "This jade is grandfather from a British Sir to buy it, spent more than a million oh, what is called Mike what ah, but that silver is not important oh, has been washed away early! He was killed and washed, and this jade has nothing to do with it!"
"Mr. Wang, are you saying that the people who bought the jade from you before were not killed?"
"Uh-huh! Mr. Wang, are you saying that all the people who bought jade from you were not killed? I'm afraid to say it!"
Zhang Guozhong learned that this Prince Howe's grandfather Wang Zhongjian used to be Hong Kong's famous herbal medicine tycoon, but in his later years suddenly played with antiques, all the previous savings are almost all tossed in, Wang Zhongjian hand most of the antiques from the British hands to buy, a number of the Eight-Power Allied Forces burned down the Yuanmingyuan when the snatched, many of which are national treasures, just a few years ago when the reform and opening up, Wang will be quite a number of old master Precious cultural relics after spending huge sums of money to buy back, then directly donated to the mainland museum, which makes Zhang Guozhong to this prince ho is not so annoying, after all, his grandfather is a Chinese with a conscience, doing what all Chinese want to do.
About this piece of jade, is Wang Zhongjian some years ago from a London called McChrystal in the hands of the fallen Lord, at that time there is no problem, and since the Wang family moved to a new villa will be strange things happen frequently, the first is the attic every day out of the ancient blowing the sound of yu, and after the basement every day, the sound of a team of people walking neatly, stirring up the home of the chickens and dogs are not quiet, and even the prince of the ho's father suffered from mild schizophrenia, and even the prince of the ho's father, the prince of the house, the prince of the house, and the prince of the house, the prince of the house, the prince of the house, the prince of the house, the prince of the house, the prince of the house, the prince of the house, and the prince of the house. Before and after no less than ten famous Taoist masters to see, no one to see the effect of the beginning of the family thought it was a house problem, changed a villa, but this phenomenon is not reduced, but rather intensified, and finally the whole family in the most vibrant places in Central to buy two sets of high-grade apartments moved in, only to be considered to be quiet, but since there is a young girl upstairs who is being kept by the people who jumped off the building and committed suicide, the family has been a strange thing again, always Inexplicably heard someone crying, and the sound of singing, and similar to cats and dogs of a class of pets are inexplicably dead, the most bizarre is the dog, the death of the two eyes red, full of tears. Dogs are spiritual creatures, the dog inexplicably cried to death, which means that the dog died before the dog has found some kind of great threat to the owner of the existence of things.
Later, Prince Howe used a stupid way, is the old master of all the antiques big to the screen monument small to the pocket watch jewelry a brain moved to a rented warehouse, and then the family quiet for a while, thought this is good, but not a few days, the family again appeared strange, but even stranger, when Prince Howe opened the safe, scared almost on the spot urine pants, this piece of jade on the safe to put. The password of the safe is known only to Prince Howe, and the suspicion of all the evil things is focused on this piece of jade at once.
Later, Prince Howe's desire for profit, once wanted to sell this piece of jade to others, but also organized an auction, a Malaysian landlord bought the jade, but not a year later, the jade was sent back, saying that this is a piece of evil jade, the family died several mouths, the cause of death are myocardial infarction (to say that the common is to be scared to death), Prince Howe is also a thief, the money was returned to the people, and later, the Prince Howe was introduced to a Taiwanese, sold this piece of jade to a Taiwan This piece of jade sold to a Taiwan businessman, the result is suddenly one day, this piece of jade and appeared in the safe of the Wang family, Prince Howe inquired, the Taiwan businessman's whole family died of myocardial infarction in the same night, the police suspect that someone high-tech crime, is being pursued with all its might.
Prince Howe also once wanted to bury the jade, and even thrown into the open sea, but every time you throw away, the jade will somehow come back, sometimes in the safe, sometimes in the bookshelf, sometimes in his wife's makeup box, make him throw can not be thrown, and do not dare to smash, riding a tiger difficult to get down.
This time, Prince Howe was even more distracted, after asking several of Hong Kong's most famous gentlemen to have no results, only this piece of jade will be brought to the mainland with fear and trembling, this Prince Howe and then greedy for money, on the family is still quite caring, by which his wife just gave birth to a daughter, he was worried about his wife's daughter's safety and security, only to bring the jade to the mainland, nominally for investment, in fact, is trying to find some people to this piece of jade to deal with. Jade dealt with, this way Prince Howe walking is also distracted, afraid of train derailment, afraid of plane crashes, and even afraid of this jade from their own hands and then flew back to the safe at home, but the good thing is that this jade is still good in their own bag, originally Prince Howe would like to hire a person to do this, but carefully think about it, or think of their own in person to be more assured.
A few days ago, Zhang Guoyi a classmate to Guangzhou to open the order will recognize the Prince Howe, heard about this directly after the address of Zhang Guoyi's home to him, said that this person knows a big fairy, this Prince Howe did not do anything, the same day on the train from Guangzhou to Tianjin, at first, Zhang Guoyi also do not want to give his brother to get into this trouble, but look at the golden Hong Kong dollars on the part of the older brother, or blew a round of the Prince Howe was also fooled Zhang Yushan, Yunshan, Tianjin. Zhang Guoyi lulled into a cloud, and immediately took Zhang Guozhong as a savior.
"Mr. Wang, like this, can this piece of jade stay with me for the time being, I need to study it..."
"Good! Good! No problem! Of course!" Prince Howe hurriedly excused himself just as if he had shaken off the plaster.
In the evening, Zhang Guozhong opened his eyes once, but did not see this piece of jade has any special, at this time Zhang Guozhong can only count on is that old man senior brother, after all, when it comes to antiques, he is much more than their own expertise.
Came to the old Liu head home, Zhang Guozhong first ate a surprise, this old Liu head can really enough to toss, the house was originally plagiarized traces have been completely invisible, a full set of antique furniture; Eight Immortals table, tai shi chairs, the four treasures of the literary room should be complete, and the old Liu head himself, hair also cut, beard also shaved, wearing a dignified Tang suit, a face of grease, just put out of the time is not too long, but it is the livestock trough to change the coffin! --Adult children ...
Taking Zhang Guozhong handed over the jade, the old Liu head for a while to play, "brother ah, this plaything is a good thing, where did you get it from?"
Zhang Guozhong told Old Liu Tou the story of that Prince Howe, of course, the history of Master Wang's fortune was omitted.
"This jade doesn't seem to be anything special, senior brother do you think it could be a problem somewhere else in his family?"
"It's a good piece of jade, and it's been around for years, in my opinion, it's most likely tossed out by the gang of tipplers (the jargon term for grave robbers), but this jade comes from a different place," Old Liu Tou took a sip of tea, took out a magnifying glass, and lifted up the jade to show it to Zhang Guozhong, "Look, here ..."
Following the old Liu head finger place, through the magnifying glass, indeed see this jade edge has a piece of its inconspicuous fine marks, do not look carefully, will also think that it is a long day long silt mud prints. At this moment, Zhang Guozhong had to admire the old Liu head's eyesight, he held back a night also did not see a son of a wu daoyou, this old Liu head not out of five minutes will be able to see the cracks.
"Since there is a mouth, there is a mouth of reason, come ..." said the old Liu head with Zhang Guozhong came to a desk lamp, opened the lamp, to say that this professional is professional, Zhang Guozhong is open to the eyes of the desk lamp looks ordinary, but in fact it is a high-brightness halogen lamp, the brightness and street lights have a A spell, pull the curtains, old Liu put the jade on a shelf under the lamp, with the help of light from the back of the jade, the whole piece of jade translucent smooth, but there is a piece of dark-colored part in the middle, and the rest of the crystal clear is very incongruous, as if clamped with something.
"Senior brother, this is..."
"This is called Jade Swan, a technique used in ancient times to hide confidential documents, and it's difficult for the average person to see the way in it without the aid of a magnifying glass." Old Liu Tou turned off the lamp, "But listening to what you said, it seems like there is more than just confidential documents hidden in this jade swan."
"Then what else could it be? Could it be the Soul Locking Jade (the jade that imprisons the living evil spirits of animals is known as the Soul Locking Jade in Maoshan arts, and the dead jade that Ma Zhenren imprisoned that Qing Dynasty scholar mentioned earlier is the Soul Locking Jade)?"
"Unlikely. Ancient people wouldn't use such a good jade to do that kind of thing, and it's not a dead jade, the effect isn't necessarily good, I think it's for another purpose. Now the key is to ask that Prince Howe, where exactly did this jade come from, if you can't figure out where it came from, I'm afraid no one can do anything about it..."
Prince Howe sat in the old Liu head home, two eyes are spent, their grandfather is also playing antiques, grew up in the pile of antiques, but to the old Liu head of the home, or open eyes, the wall of the most recent paintings and calligraphy to be counted in the number of Qi Baishi, and even Dong Qichang's paintings are also hung in the not very conspicuous place, the main hall is hung in Yan Liben, Li Si Xun, this kind of master-level figures of the works, if the European, this kind of amount of If in Europe, this amount of treasure in the Swiss bank are too uninsured, I did not expect this dead old man on this painting hanging squarely in the living room.
Looking at the shadows in the jade under the lamp, Wang Zihao immediately bowed to Zhang Guozhong and Old Liu Tou, although he didn't find a solution, but he saw the breakage in the jade, which was also already a big breakthrough.
"Mr. Wang, you must figure out where this thing came from, otherwise we have no way to start."
"Aiya, I have to ask my grandpa about this, but my grandpa, he's not well now, he might not be able to ask anything..."
"What's wrong with your grandfather?"
"Dementia, but when he sees something that excites him, he still has some sanity."
"Then you see what in my house can make him excited?" Old Liu head full of frivolous face smoking a cigarette.
"No kiddo's la, but I can bring him..."
