City Marshal

Just when Chutian was wondering whether to send Blind Wang to the hospital, Blind Wang had already opened his eyes, looked at Chutian carefully for a few times, then seemed to remember something, groping around on the bed, Chutian hurried away Go over and say, "Old man, what are you looking for? I'll just get it for you."

Blind Wang muttered to himself, "Plate, my plate for money."

Chu Tian was almost dizzy, why is this blind man talking about the plate containing money? Could it be that the plate is a wealth collection plate?Every time you take it out, you can pack a thousand yuan ocean?Otherwise, why does this old man have so many hundred dollar bills playing the erhu on the street?Otherwise, as long as the old man is sober, he can't forget his plate?

Chu Tian wanted to return to his thoughts, but seeing that Blind Wang had been seriously injured like this, he might die during the conversation, so it was inconvenient for him to express his intentions right now, so he quickly brought up the money-gathering tray and put it in Blind Wang's hand. Of course, there are still a dozen big banknotes, lest blind Wang misunderstand that he is motivated by money and swallow his money. You must know that it is risky to be a good person these days.

Unexpectedly, blind Wang swept away those hundred-yuan bills with a wave of his hand, fumbled in the plate with his withered hands, then dug hard, and a piece of crystal clear jade shone in his hand. stand up.

Chu Tian's heart moved. Could it be that this piece of jade is the "unknown jade" worth 500 million that Zhang Yang talked about?If so, this old man is really too talented. There are five million worth of jade hidden in the begging plate, plus a dozen hundred yuan bills.

After stroking for a while, Blind Wang suddenly said, "Young man, you and I are so destined, I have an unfeeling request, I wonder if I can agree?"

Chu Tian sighed secretly, could it be that he took people as apprentices, or traveled thousands of miles to give jade to others?But he still said: "Old man, please tell me, if I can do it, I will do it."

Blind Wang sighed and said, "I want to give you the 'nameless jade'."

Chu Tian was so frightened that he almost fell down. He didn't expect Xiazi Wang to have such a request. Should he pretend to be arrogant and refuse, or would he accept the 500 million without hesitation?Then Chutian thought of Zhang Yangfeng and his gang, knowing that this piece of 'nameless jade' is a treasure, and those who are incapable of possessing it will only end up in trouble, and even invite death. The windfall that comes is not necessarily a blessing. hesitate.

Blind Wang obviously saw through Chu Tian's thoughts, so he sat up slowly, leaned against the wall and said, "Young man, the wealth and danger of this piece of jade depend on each other. You can make a decision after listening to what I'm about to say. I will force it, if I really don’t accept it, I won’t force it either.”

In July 1860 (the 7th year of Xianfeng), the fleet of the British and French invaders broke into Dagu again. Under the pretense of the British and French envoys entering Beijing in exchange for a contract, they attacked with force and lured them to "negotiate peace". Because Chen Bing, the capital, wanted the Qing court to submit, but the corrupt and incompetent Qing government reluctantly begged for peace, and hesitated to decide on a strategy for fighting and defending. The invading army marched straight into Tongzhou.

On September 9, the Qing army lost the decisive battle at Bali Bridge in Tongzhou. The next morning, Emperor Xianfeng fled from Yuanmingyuan to Chengde Mountain Resort in a hurry. Lord, all the officials are scattered, the soldiers' morale is slack, and the people's hearts are terrified.

On October 10, the British and French allied forces went around the northeast suburbs of Beijing and went straight to the Old Summer Palace. The Great Palace Gate of the Old Summer Palace.

At this time, more than 7 Yuanmingyuan skilled and brave eunuchs fought against the enemy inside and outside the Xianliang Gate. At [-] o'clock in the evening, the French invading army captured the Old Summer Palace, and Wen Feng, the minister in charge of the garden, threw himself into the sea of ​​fortune and died.

When Blind Wang was talking about the history of China's humiliation, he seemed a little excited and coughed a few times. Chu Tian hurriedly said to help him pat him.

Sure enough, after a short rest, Wang Xiazi said: "The above is about history, but what I want to talk about now is a legend. It is said that the Minister of Garden Management, Wen Feng, had a premonition that once the coalition forces entered the Old Summer Palace, they would not be able to withstand the temptation and would come to the Old Summer Palace." They plundered wantonly, so they led the more than [-] Yuanmingyuan skilled and brave eunuchs to transport away some of the most valuable belongings in the Yuanmingyuan overnight, and only they knew the location."

"Wen Feng, the minister in charge of the garden, was very thoughtful. He was afraid that some accident would happen to his group and the most valuable belongings would be buried in the ground forever, so he used his good carving skills to carve the profound meaning of the hidden treasure on a piece of jade. mark, in case someone has clues to find that batch of property after my accident.”

Chu Tian nodded. It turned out that there was such a legend, no wonder someone was willing to offer 500 million to Zhang Yangfeng and the others to buy this piece of 'nameless jade'.

Blind Wang obviously hadn't finished speaking, so he took a breath and continued the story.

On October 10, all the more than 6 eunuchs died. Wen Feng, the minister in charge of the Yuanmingyuan, vowed to live and die together in the Old Summer Palace, and decided to apologize with death. Wang Siming hurried into the city with jade to find the emperor, but because of the turmoil of the army, he was hurt by Liu Yong.

When he was seriously injured, Wang Siming gave the jade to his son Wang Yongyong. As a result, Wang Yongyong saw that the Old Summer Palace was burned down, thinking that those belongings must have been burned overnight, so instead of entering the Forbidden City to hand over the jade to the royal family, Wang Yongyong escaped from the chaos. In the capital, so far, the "unnamed jade" carried the secret to the people, and was passed down by Wang Yongyong, until it was in the hands of Wang Xiazi.

But no matter whether it was the discerning ancestor or the blind king, no one could find any clues from the jade. This 'nameless jade' was just like the one just dug out, without any marks.

After a long time, the Wang family didn't care about it, and just passed it on as an ancestral treasure, and no one looked for clues to the treasure.

Chu Tian asked a little strangely: "How did Zhang Yangfeng and his gang know?"

Blind Wang smiled sadly and said:

"I was blind since I was a child, but I also read poetry and books and practiced martial arts for self-defense. When I knew this legend, my will became depressed, because I couldn't see it with my eyes. Even if those treasures still exist, I couldn't find them myself, so At that time, I liked the things in the cup, and my mouth was not tight enough, so I told the ancestors about this shit."
