Unparalleled Treasures

Chapter 449 The Baby in the Moat

The two policemen discussed it and recorded the contact information of a few witnesses for future investigation and evidence collection. Then they brought Xu Xiaomeng back to the police station to make a statement, because this matter related to a human life. :Update text chapter fastest:

Zhang Can was naturally sneaking under the water, and was about to sneak to the outskirts of the city quickly and then climbed ashore, but after only sneaking for a hundred meters, he detected the abnormality!

At the foot of the city wall, there are two large boxes at the bottom of the river. The water depth here is six to seven meters, and there are tall trees on the bank, which shade the sky and block out the sun. There are also a lot of algae on the ground, and you can't see into the water at all, let alone under the water. Zhang Can quietly floated to a place close to the water surface. At the foot of the city wall where the boxes are in a straight line, there are two gouges the size of fingers.

If this is normal, the moat has a city wall on one side, and the bank is too narrow for tourists to pass through, while the other side of the moat is more than 20 meters long. There is such a trace at the foot of the city wall, and no one will notice it, but now Zhang Can felt that something was wrong.

I took a look with a perspective eye. Inside the two large boxes, the one on the left was full of golden ingots, while the one on the right contained some ancient porcelain paintings and so on. The wax seal completely isolates the utensils inside the box from the outside world.

Zhang Can has been making antiques for many years. When he saw the inside of these two boxes at a glance, he couldn't help trembling. There was a big word "Xu" on the surface of the two boxes, and the words of Xu were in traditional characters. It seems that these two boxes are here. There should be some years in the moat, at least not after the founding of New China.

As for the antique calligraphy and paintings inside the box, Zhang Can can naturally detect the year, but the year of the antique cannot explain the year when the box sank in the water. Zhang Can tried to drag two big boxes, and the mouth contained gold. Zhang Can tried his best to drag Yuanbao's box, but it was too heavy.

The other box containing antiques can be dragged by Zhang Can. It is estimated that the total weight of the box will not exceed one hundred catties. It is estimated that although the two boxes are heavy, the value of gold is not necessarily higher than that of the antique box.

After hesitating in the water for a while, Zhang Can still decided to take back the box containing the antiques. After making the decision, he immediately dragged the box up and sneaked out of the suburbs under the water.

Judging from the traces of algae on this box, it must have been untouched for many years, and this moat strictly prohibits all activities in the river, so no one has ever been in the river. The bottom of the box, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Zhang Can estimated that the owners of these two boxes must have secretly thrown the treasure into the moat during the war years, and then marked it on the side of the city wall. If the owner of the box is good, he will definitely not sink the two boxes in the water until now. If it is a special age, then that’s fine. Then in such a peaceful age, how can there be money that can’t be made to prosper? ?

Zhang Can dragged the box and sneaked while guessing. Anyway, he threw things in the river that no one wanted, and he didn’t pick them up. It was relatively easy for Zhang Can to drag heavy objects in the water, and there was buoyancy in the water. In addition, his water-repelling bead energy is especially applicable in the water. If it is on the shore, it will not be so easy to carry this box when the distance is long.

Dragging the box, Zhang Can's speed was naturally not as fast as when he was empty-handed. It took half an hour to reach the outskirts. It took a while to get the box ashore.

Because of the protection from the energy of water droplets, the clothes on his body were not wet. Zhang Can sat and rested for a while. This is the wilderness. There is a road more than 100 meters away from the river. There is a sign beside the road. Zhang Can rested for a while After that, he took out his mobile phone from his body and called Su Xue, asking her to find someone to drive here to pick her up.

After all, it was a windfall, and Zhang Can still didn't want outsiders to know about it, so as not to cause any trouble, and there was a word "Xu" on the box. This Xu must be the owner of the box that was thrown into the river back then.

Su Xue came over half an hour later, because she was inconvenient, she did not come alone, but asked her uncle Wang to drive, because Zhang Can had told her not to have outsiders, and she was inconvenient to move by herself. So I invited my uncle here, because firstly, my uncle has the strongest relationship with Zhang Can, and secondly, because my uncle loves her very much, and he is his own family, so I don't have to worry about it.

It's just that Su Xue didn't know what Zhang Can meant, but she guessed that Zhang Can must have some special reason, so she was very careful, and when she drove over with her uncle, she paid special attention to see if anyone was following her.

Wang Qian saw Zhang Can sitting on the side of the road at the corner of the road, and there was a big box beside him. When he stopped the car and got out of the car, he said a little funny: "Zhang Can, you don't go to the front of the village or back to the store. Where did you get such a big box?"

Zhang Can pointed back to the river, and replied with a smile: "I picked it up from the moat. In the north of the city, there are two boxes at the bottom of the river. One box is filled with gold ingots, and the other box contains many antique calligraphy and paintings. The gold box It was too heavy, and I couldn't move it, so I dragged the antique box to the suburbs!"

Wang Qian smiled dumbly, and said: "You are like a saying that when people are unlucky, they will be shot while lying down, but you will get rich lying down!"

Su Xue got out of the car with a big belly, and Zhang Can hurriedly persuaded her: "You sit in the car, we'll lift the suitcase into the car and leave."

Wang Qian opened the trunk of the car, and together with Zhang Can carried the box into the trunk and put it away. Zhang Can sat in the back row with Su Xue, smiled and said to Wang Qian who was driving in the front row: "Uncle, your old man Come to drive and be a driver, we are a little flattered!"

"You boy, stop talking nonsense to me!"

While driving the car, Wang Qian replied, "It would be good for you to have less accidents, so as not to worry the family, look at you, accidents happen every day, think about it, have you lived in peace for a week? "

Zhang Can smiled embarrassingly, indeed, although he has a special ability, every time it is considered a disaster, but it is indeed a continuous disaster. Such things, such things, the family has been in the long-term for him. Worry.

Fortunately, Su Xue was always on his side no matter what, so she hurriedly said to Wang Qian: "Uncle, don't talk about Zhang Can, such a big family depends on him alone, if you don't look for opportunities, then How are you going to live?"

Of course, Wang Qian did not lose his temper with Zhang Can. After hearing Su Xue's words, he turned his head and said, "It is said that the married daughter poured water. Look at you. Now you have a big 'Zhang' written on your forehead." Words, do you still know that I am your uncle?"

Su Xue smiled, but kept her mouth shut, but she hugged Zhang Can's arm even tighter, with a sweet smile on her face.

The car quickly entered the urban area, and Wang Qian immediately asked: "Zhang Can, where are you going to take this box? In the store or at home?"

Zhang Can was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "Go to the store, the store is about to open, and there is a shortage of things for the store, this is just right!"

Wang Qian nodded, and then asked: "What about the gold, what do you want to do with that box of gold? Do you want it or not?"

Zhang Can said with a smile: "Yes, of course I want it, as long as it's not stealing, I want it, but it's hard to know where to start around the moat, and I can't hold it back with my own strength, I've thought about it." , It’s still at the place where you picked me up, wait for me, I will open the box, gold is not afraid of water anyway, I can move the gold out many times, and I don’t rush the time, I transport it from the bottom of the water without showing If there is no dew on the mountain, no one will find it!"

Wang Qian nodded. Zhang Can's plan is good. If it is transported from the bottom of the water, it will not leave any traces, and there is no human habitation at the joint, so there is no need to worry about being discovered and suspected.

After Wang Qian sent Zhang Can and Su Xue to the antique shop, he went back by himself, saying that he had something to do, so he didn't stay in Zhang Can's shop.

Before Zhang Can went to the store to call for someone, Zhang Jiye saw it, and hurried out to carry the box in with his younger brother, while Zhang Hua came out and held Su Xue's arm, and they entered the store together talking and laughing.

Old Wu and Zhang Can's fathers are very strange, where did they get such a big box?

Especially Old Wu, because Old Wu's vision is not comparable to that of Zhang Guonian and others. The style and appearance of this box can show that it is quite old. The style of this box is very old, and there are many green algae on the surface. There are traces of wearing, as if it has been soaked in water for many years.

"Zhang Can, you fished this box out of the water?"

Zhang Can smiled, and then replied: "Old Wu, you are right, I just fished a box out of the water...Dad, brother, please help me to carry the box to the inner room!"

Seeing that Zhang Can was instructing Zhang Guonian and Zhang Jiye, and seeing his expression, Lao Wu knew that the box must be a bit weird, so he hurriedly asked Zhang Hua to look after it at the store, while he helped carry the box to the warehouse in the middle.

Su Xue didn't follow in, but sat on the sofa in the shop and accompanied Zhang Hua to watch the shop outside.

After several people carried the box to the inner warehouse, Zhang Cancai asked Old Wu again: "Old Wu, let me ask you, is there anyone named 'Xu' in Beijing who is famous in the antique business?"

"The one with the surname 'Xu'?" Old Wu was stunned for a moment, then he tilted his head to think for a while, then nodded again, and then replied: "In the antique world in the capital, there is a family named Xu, the owner of Maochang Antique Shop. His name is Xu Yaguang, and Maochang’s name is said to be derived from his grandfather’s name. Xu Maochang was a Juren in the late Qing Dynasty. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, he changed his career to make antiques. Because he had contacts with many dignitaries and dignitaries, he was very handy in making antiques. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were wars and strife, and countless aristocratic families were in decline. It was common for Xu Maochang to make a fortune by relying on this, so that he later became one of the best antique masters in the capital, even now , their Xu family is also one of the largest antique families in the capital's antique industry, but in the early years, the capitalists were suppressed in China for a while..."
