Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!

Seeing this result, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up.

This orchid book is very detailed, with not only illustrations but also extensive text notes under each orchid species.

From the time it was discovered, to its inheritance, characteristics, cultivation techniques, and even anecdotes and legends related to this orchid, everything is recorded in the book.

As a password master, of course, the more characters the better, so you don’t have to worry about missing characters when comparing.

Lin Yi pointed to the symbols on the notebook.

"Tentatively, this symbol represents this orchid, and the numbers behind it have the same pattern."

"First look at the title, then the page number, and finally the line number, and compare them."

Mr. Bai reminded from the side.

Lin Yi took the rare book handed over by Bai Lu, used the elimination method to find relevant numbers bit by bit, and finally came up with eight words:

"Three legs, tiger stripes, two ears, Eastern Zhou Dynasty!"

These keywords, combined with the name "Yipinwang", the content recorded in this passage is clearly a three-legged tiger-patterned double-eared tripod produced in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty!

The following string of Arabic numerals is easy to understand. It is most likely that the transaction is completed or an important time node.

"Don't panic first, look back and see if you can introduce another similar entry."

Mr. Bai reminded him.

"Ok!"

Lin Yi turned back a few pages and found the same symbol again.

"Check these numbers."

Bai Lu followed the numerical sequence given by Lin Yi and read out the contents of the thread-bound book.

"Four legs, cow pattern, two ears, late Shang Dynasty."

"That's right!"

Lin Yi snapped his fingers excitedly.

"This symbol represents the tripod, and the text corresponding to the string of numbers behind it is a description of its appearance. This is indeed a ledger about cultural relics trading!"

"It's solved, the password of this ledger has been solved!"

Several people stood up and high-fived each other in celebration, as if they were happy.

Mr. Bai was rubbing walnuts beside him and watching them playing around.

This happy feeling didn't last long, and Lin Yi suddenly remembered something.

"No, there's something wrong with this ledger. Third child, do you still remember the ledger we saw when we saw it in the archives?"

Qian Sheng nodded.

"Remember."

"Do you have the impression that the 'Secret Shopping Group' has purchased so many cauldrons from Xiangjiang?"

Qian Sheng closed his eyes slightly and thought for a while.

"No, let alone tripods. Bronze vessels are very rare. Most of the cultural relics that were exported to Xiangjiang were carried away during the war period. Cauldrons are big, heavy, conspicuous, and not good at all. If we take action, who will bring that thing?”

"So do you think this account is Xu Baijiao's own account?"

“I thought about it before, but now it’s absolutely impossible.

Although Senior Xu is hanging around in the Xiangjiang area, he is still a member of our industry. No one wants to take the tripod, and no one dares to touch it. What's more, it is such an important weapon from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Who is doing this?

What's more, his status is so special, he won't touch these things. "After Qian Sheng said this, looking at Lin Yi's expression, he suddenly felt like he had an epiphany.

"I understand, brother, I understand!"

"What do you understand? You shouted like this?"

Wang Qiang looked at Qian Sheng and Lin Yi with a puzzled expression, wondering what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourds.

"The contents recorded in this account book do not belong to Xu Baijiao at all!"

"Whose can it be?"

Bai Lu also stepped forward and asked.

Lin Yi took the two of them to the archives, unpacked the contents of the telegram Xu Baijiao sent before his death, and told everyone about it.

"Playing for money? The other party wants to slip away? Are we going to win? What is this all about? They are not close to each other."

"Let me make a bold guess and see if it makes sense. The 'Secret Shopping Group' has been completing the secret acquisition of various national treasures in Hong Kong, with the purpose of preventing important cultural relics from being lost overseas.

The 'Purple Yihou' organization is just the opposite. They specialize in getting national treasures overseas.

The two sides must have fought many times, openly or secretly.

Mr. Xu must have obtained the shipping ledger of 'Ziyihou' by some kind of chance. He also found the code book "Jinzhang Lanpu" used internally and copied a copy. "

Having said this, Lin Yi reached out and raised the work notes in his hand.

"This is it!
I guess that when he sent back that meaningless telegram, he actually wanted to hint to the relevant people in the mainland to prepare funds. The other party may have to evacuate the territory of Xiangjiang immediately due to the leakage of the account contents. There are many things that cannot be taken away. We are about to face a crisis. Come to victory.

But what he didn't expect was that the other party would find out about him so quickly and kill him, thus making this secret disappear forever on the streets of Xiangjiang. "

Those present did not express their opinions immediately and pondered for a moment.

Qian Sheng spoke first.

"I don't dare to say that it's completely correct. I feel that I'm at least [-]-[-]% correct. This matter was communicated through text messages. I can't explain it clearly, so I can only express it vaguely.

Perhaps Mr. Xu was still secretly rejoicing at that time. He had obtained such important information, but he did not expect to pass away the next day. This matter finally became an unsolved case.

I had doubts about Mr. Xu's motives before, but he was simply trying to judge a gentleman's inner circle with caution. This is no longer a joke for me. "

"We were all just guessing at the beginning, and it's not your fault."

Lin Yi patted his shoulder.To show comfort.

"Brother Lin, I think now that we have obtained this ledger and password master, we might as well decipher all the contents inside. Maybe the answer we are looking for is in these work notes."

"It makes sense. What result can we get by just guessing now? There are ready-made materials here, and there isn't much content in this notebook. Can't we translate them all?"

Lin Yi had just dived into the information cocoon he had built, looking for clues. Little did he know, the clue was right in front of him.

"Yes, why did I lose my head? Come on, let's work harder and translate all these contents, and then take our things with us to Moro Street, Xiangjiang.

I estimate that the uncle who gave us the notes must know something. There are some things that cannot be said. He couldn't or didn't want to say them before. Now, he might want to say it! "

As soon as they said they were done, the four people immediately got into work, each performing their duties. Mr. Bai was on the side giving instructions from time to time. It only took them one afternoon to decipher the contents of this work note. .

The content is eloquent and lists an entire A4 paper, and this is only the transaction volume of the "Zi Yihou Organization" in Hong Kong in one month.

The project covers everything from bronze sacrificial vessels to porcelain calligraphy and paintings. Most of the items ended up in England and the United States, and some went to Japan.

The most eye-catching ones are undoubtedly the bronze ritual vessels, especially the tripod vessels, as many as eleven were sold in one month.

And in the final summary, a place was also mentioned - Luodu, Zhongzhou. (End of chapter)
