Chapter 250
"What? You know Captain Kidd's treasure?"

Wu Tianyuan was surprised, originally wanted to ask if there were any other clues about the necklace and Treasure John?In the end, it actually said it knew about Kidd's pirate's treasure?

"Before the famous pirate king Kidd died, he gave his wife a note with four sets of numbers written on it, 44-10-66-18. In the end, Kidd failed to convince the British government of his innocence, and died in 1701. London was hanged."

"On May 1701, 5, Kidd was hanged at the London docks. The first hang, the rope broke. But the executors didn't care, and at last hanged him the second time. Kidd's body was painted Tar, chained, and hung in a cage by the Thames for two years to deter other pirates, but he refused to admit that he was a pirate until his death."

"From 1932 to 1933, an Englishman named Palmer found three treasure maps in the three boxes Kidd had used, with the same small island and corresponding latitude and longitude drawn on it. But Palmer suddenly Died mysteriously. The treasure map fell into the hands of the housekeeper."

"In 1937, a man named Wiggins claimed to have seen the fourth treasure map. In 1951, explorer Braun Ray got the treasure map and organized a treasure hunt, but was caught in a hurricane and was forced to return empty-handed. That's it, Kidd The story of the treasure, together with the legendary curse that seven people would die because of it, has been passed down to this day, but the treasure is still missing."

Of course Wu Tianyuan knew about this famous pirate king. Eustace Kidd, one of the 11 supernovas in the popular "One Piece", was based on him.

The necklace lamented: "In fact, Kidd was wronged. He was the son of a priest in Greenockshire. During the Anglo-French War, he successfully maintained the trade route between the United States and Great Britain. During the Great League War, Kidd Ordered to capture an enemy privateer, he also obtained a permit from the local governor to carry out armed privateering in the Caribbean."

"But unfortunately, Kidd failed to find pirates in the Indian Ocean for a long time. A British East India Company captain claimed that Kidd, in distress, attacked a Mughal Empire ship protected by the East India Company. Emissary ship. Soon Kidd was declared a pirate."

"When Kidd returned to the Caribbean and learned that he had been placed on the pirate list, he abandoned ship and traveled to New York, hoping to justify himself, before arriving in New York where he was rumored to have buried his treasure in a small town on the west end of Long Island. island."

Wu Tianyuan was disgusted for a while, another example of a dead dog cooking!When using others, let them work hard, and once there are benefits, just find an excuse to take the treasure for themselves.This kind of thing is the favorite activity of the so-called royal family. Treasure hunting can kill people with awe-inspiring dignity, killing two birds with one stone.

"Go to Gardenas Island!"

Two days later, Wu Tianyuan and his party appeared on the small island. In fact, this small island was searched by some treasure hunters, but nothing was found.Of course, they were no match for Wu Tianyuan. With the instructions from the necklace, they quickly found more than a dozen treasure chests that sealed the cave.

"It's still some jewelry gold coins, but there are a lot of ancient Roman gold coins, which are very valuable."

Wu Tianyuan listened to it again, and suddenly found a few yellowed letters in the cracks of a box, he laughed and said: "These are worthless, this is the treasure!"

Wang Jun read it curiously, and said in surprise: "This is actually the letter of guarantee written by King William III to Kidd himself?"

"Yes, Kidd is not a fool. The reason why he returned to England is because of these so-called guarantees!"

Wu Tianyuan said disdainfully: "Back then he helped the royal family rob a lot of treasures, the amount was so large that the king became jealous! Finally they no longer believed in Kidd, they wanted to find a chance to eliminate him and seize the treasures for themselves."

"When the Earl of Belomont who recommended Kidd heard the news of Kidd's return, he was worried that he would be implicated by Kidd, so he lured him to Boston for arrest on July 1699, 7, and he was immediately imprisoned. In prison Kidd was brutally tortured and allegedly insane."

"Actually, it's torture to extract the whereabouts of all the treasures. This should be Kidd's backer. He didn't expect that even the king would break his word, and he would be wronged until his death."

Since ancient times, how thin the emperor is!In his eyes, everyone is only useful, and once they are useless, they will be silenced immediately.Looking at the famous founding generals of the past dynasties, basically none of them ended well.It's either the meritorious deeds, or the release of military power with a glass of wine. The clever rapids retreat bravely and save their lives, and if they are later, they will ransack their families and exterminate their clans.

"Forget it, he's just a pirate. He also killed many people, and it's also retribution."

Wu Tianyuan put away a few letters with satisfaction. This is more precious than all jewelry and gold coins. It is related to the reputation and face of the dignified British royal family. Director David is about to bleed!
Wu Tianyuan sent the jewels to Rose, and asked him to prepare for the next auction, under the banner of Kidd's special sale, which was absolutely sensational.

Ross also began to get used to the magic of the new boss. In less than half a month, he sent two batches of treasures. He deserved to be a famous treasure hunter.With such a strong player, the rise of Bonhams is just around the corner.

"Tell me! What do you want this time?"

David looked helplessly at Wu Tianyuan who had just left for a few days, this kid was also drunk!

"How about this, we are all friends, I heard that the British Museum has a Jianyao Tianmu, or the Obsidian Transformation?"

David smiled wryly: "You can't hide anything from you, yes, we have an obsidian transformation here, do you want to change it?"

Wu Tianyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Isn't one Yaobian too small? Can it compare with the face of the British royal family? Another thousand Dunhuang murals!"

"Five hundred at most!"

"One thousand!"

"Six hundred!"

The two bargained for a long time, and finally sold [-] pieces of Dunhuang murals and Jianyao obsidian tea cups.

"Is this Obsidian Transformation?"

A few people curiously watched the new Jianyao Yaobian Tianmu, and there were two Yaobian teacups in this Tianyuan, a blue Tianmu and a black Tianmu.

"If the little devil sees this, he must be crazy!"

Hu Jianmin said excitedly: "They regard Yaobian Tianmu as a national treasure, and even the emperor bows to show respect. There are only three in Japan, and now we have two, hehe!"

"It is said that there are four kinds of Tianmu, blue obsidian, black obsidian, and rarer red obsidian. The only dragon ball is said to be on the Awamaru. It sank into the sea together with the August Cup and BJ's skull. , disappeared."

Now Wu Tianyuan has eleven of the Twelve Flower God Cups in his hand, only the August Cup is missing.There are also two Yaobian Tianmu, and the peerless orphan Dragon Ball Yaobian is also on Awa Maru. When you have clues, you must salvage them.

"When Little Japan sees a set of Kangxi blue and white multicolored Twelve Flower God cups and a set of Jianyao Yaobian Tianmu teacups, the emperor will also bow down to me!"
