Extra 1: Broken ancient jade (the title cannot be changed, so I have to put the title here)

Fifty years ago, an incredible and strange thing happened in Huiya Middle School in a museum that collected jade artifacts left over from the royal family in the late Qing Dynasty.

At that time, the principal was Tan Boyuan, a senior senior who had a ten-year career as a principal. He had just been transferred to the principal of Huiya Middle School for the third year. Because he led the school to the provincial high school entrance examination for three consecutive years, he was transferred to the office of the Education Bureau. The bizarre fragmentation of an ancient jade in the museum interrupted his career and returned home.

The incident was probably like this: at noon one day, Principal Tan was very interested in a spoon-shaped jade pendant that was big in the museum. While carefully taking the gift, a student walked in. The student was full of strange aura, and his clothes were so novel that he could not see, especially the hairstyle that seemed messy but highlighted his personality, which was definitely not all at that time.

The student knew the origin of the jade pendant at a glance and went up to argue with Principal Tan about the allusion of the origin. During the two of them, the student accidentally dropped the jade pendant to the ground and broke it in half. Principal Tan was extremely heartbroken and scolded the student and asked him to compensate him according to the price. The student could not afford so much money for the time being, so he had to report the time limit to Principal Tan. Principal Tan asked the student's class and home address, and asked him to write a compensation statement, so he sent the student back.

The strange thing happened when Principal Tan pressed the address and found it in a deserted mountain with a detailed village address, but he couldn't find the house. When asked what the student said, the class director of the class would have laughed silently after hearing the principal's description: "A male student with a hairstyle like a girl, wearing a pair of trousers thick like canvas. Such a student can enter the gate of Huiya Middle School, which is famous for rigorous teaching, even if he searches all over the country, he can't find such a weird student."

What should I do if the student who broke the ancient jade cannot be found? What should I do if my superiors investigate it? Tan Boyuan was anxious and quickly called the police to file a case. The public security organs searched the whole city, and the same name as the student was not the address mentioned by the student. Although the student was panicked at that time, he looked sincere, and it was definitely not as if he was deliberately saying the wrong address to deceive Principal Tan. The case of breaking the ancient jade has not been solved and has been hanged in the air until now.

Today, fifty years later, Principal Tan is now white with long hair and beards, nearly 80 years old. After the broken ancient jade incident, he was depressed all day long. After decades, he still missed this matter and often came to Huiya Middle School to instruct that once a student named Tang Qi appeared, he would immediately notify him to come and ask for compensation for the ancient jade.

Zhao Gucheng, the then principal, couldn't help but advise: "It's been half a century. He broke the ancient jade back then. Do you dare to appear in the school again? Then again, it's fifty years since he left and flew away. Why did he come back to this school? He lied to you back then, so he won't come back. You should give up."

Principal Tan muttered in his heart when he heard this, but he still believed that the student would not deceive him. It was a coincidence that there was a student named Tang Qi during this autumn enrollment.

Tang Qi was admitted to Huiya Middle School because he came to the Qing Dynasty Relics Museum in the famous school. Tang Qi had loved jade since he was a child. When he was able to read, he had read the history of the development of jade in my country. It can be said that he has a great study of jade.

On the first day of being admitted to Huiya Middle School, Tang Qi brought the digital camera he had just bought and came to the school to report. After reporting, he hurried to sneak into the Qing Dynasty Relics Museum.

As soon as I walked into the museum, I was attracted by the quaint and elegant wood carving decorations in the Qing Dynasty.

It is noon now, and the students and teachers have lunch and go to bed, and the museum is quiet.

Tang Qi took the camera and took pictures of the walls in the museum with interest. When he saw a strange man appearing in the middle of the lobby, he was about thirty years old. The strange man had four square bags of light green clothes on his body. Not only was he too dirt-free, there were a few patches under his armpits and back, and two large pieces of inconsistent cloth were sewn on his pants and buttocks without hesitation.

"This gentleman looks serious. I didn't expect that he likes to be innovative like our students, but he can't show off his clothes from my grandfather's generation!" Although he said this, his eyes were attracted by a spoon-shaped jade pendant in the man's hand.

"Wow," Tang Qi exclaimed, "Isn't this the phoenix-eye spoon-shaped jade recorded in the book? It is said that it is Cixi's dowry!"

When the man heard this, he seemed to have met a soulmate, and he smiled and couldn't help but praise him: "What a good student, he has a lot of knowledge!"

Tang Qi walked up to show off without any praise: "Sir, do you know the origin of this name when the phoenix-eye spoon-shaped jade?"

The man shook his head and said, "I'm not sure yet. I'm going to take a closer look at the origin of this name. Do you know?"

"Of course I know," said Tang Qi, "There is a story in this name, and I will tell you. It's true. Before Empress Dowager Cixi entered the palace, she was a girl with single eyelids. Cixi's father had been raising her as a boy since she was a child, and let her go to a school to study like a boy. Cixi grew up, without any girlish temperament, and was careless in her posture, eating and sleeping. What's more, she even peed like a boy, standing, haha..."

Tang Qi said this and couldn't help laughing, and then said, "Later we all know that Cixi entered the palace at the age of 17, favored Emperor Xianfeng and chose to be a concubine. Think about it, how could Cixi, who was not as beautiful as a girl, look at Emperor Xianfeng? It was because of this piece of phoenix-eye spoon-shaped jade, which made a fuss in the middle. It was this piece of phoenix-eye spoon-shaped jade that turned Cixi's eyelids into double eyelids, and sucked away all the boy's behavior. It is said that Cixi got this piece of jade because she did a good deed, which moved Guanyin Bodhisattva. Guanyin Bodhisattva changed into a woman and handed the jade into Cixi's hands. Because of this piece of jade, Cixi's eyes turned into a phoenix-shaped jade, so Cixi named this piece of jade as phoenix-shaped jade, which is the origin of the name of the phoenix-shaped jade."

After hearing Tang Qi's story, the man laughed: "You know so much. Being a student like you, it's a good thing to know more. But you have to know that it's better to have no books than to believe in books. What you are talking about is nothing but folk legends and cannot stand scrutiny."

Tang Qi was a little dissatisfied and asked him: "Then tell me, the origin of the name Phoenix Eye Spoon-shaped Jade."

The man said, "Although I don't know much, it is much more convincing than the stories you made up from the folk. The name of Phoenix Eye Spoon-shaped Jade comes from this: After Emperor Xianfeng died of illness, Empress Dowager Cixi wanted to rule the country from behind the curtain, but was opposed by eight ministers including Sushun, who assisted Emperor Tongzhi. Empress Dowager Cixi colluded with Prince Gong Yixin to execute three ministers including Sushun, and dismissed the other five, and realized the conspiracy of governing the country from behind. When Sushun was executed, a tooth-shaped man was hung on Sushun's chest, and Yixin took it to Empress Dowager Cixi. Empress Dowager Cixi liked it very much, but because it was worn by a man, she grinded off the tip of the teeth of the jade pendant and named it Fengyan Spoon-shaped Jade, so she dared to wear it on her body with a high-sounding origin. This is the true origin of the jade name."

Tang Qi said unhappily: "Your story is also made up, I don't believe it."

The man said, "How could I lie to you? Will the principal tell lies?"

"Principal?" Tang Qi's eyes widened and asked, "Are you the principal?"

"Yes, it's like a fake one." The man joked like a child and said, "Have you never heard of the famous Principal Tan Boyuan?"

"So, you are the principal?" Tang Qi believed this, but he still said dissatisfiedly, "Can the principal argue with students about the truth of the matter and also uses his identity to suppress others?"

Tan Boyuan laughed and touched Tang Qi's little head and said, "I didn't use the principal as a priest to suppress you. Look, the tip of the teeth of the jade pendant is indeed scratched. However, as the empress dowager, Cixi would naturally make the false and distort the truth. Most people cannot see such scratched traces."

Tang Qi took the jade pendant from Tan Boyuan's hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and exclaimed: "There are really traces of grinding." He was as excited as Cobylon discovered the New World, "I want to take a camera to take this discovery."

Take off the digital camera from your neck, use the macro shooting effect, and click on the phoenix eye spoon-shaped jade.

Tang Qi said: "I want to put it in the computer and go back and study it carefully."

"Computer?" Tan Boyuan was a little curious, "Is the computer you mentioned the one that was invented by the United States that was as big as a house?"

When Tang Qi heard this, he was stunned for a while, then laughed and thought to himself: "It turns out that as a principal, the knowledge in his head can be less than that in the students' heads? But this is too outrageous. Computers, even a three-year-old child knows what computers are. Will he not know as a principal? Isn't he clearly teasing me? It's so unkind."

Seeing that Tang Qi didn't say anything and looked contemptuous, Tan Boyuan was embarrassed to ask what the computer was. Seeing Tang Qi hanging on his chest, square, thin and small, he wondered: "This is also called a camera? Is there a camera so small? Moreover, the camera lens is long and big. Could this student be teasing me? At a young age, he is so dishonest and so dissatisfied." So he asked Tang Qi, "Can you still put the photos you took into your computer? Isn't the photos you want to wash out? How can you put them in the computer?"

When Tang Qi heard this, he was stunned again and thought to himself: "This person who claims to be the principal of Huiya Middle School is not a fake, right? It's like a fake, and you don't have to be so stupid as to put a photo taken by a digital camera. It's as simple as putting it into a computer. It's as unbelievable as an American landing on the moon?"

Tang Qi was a little angry and handed the camera to Tan Boyuan and said, "You think about it yourself, don't be like a weird person from Saturn."

Who knew that when he reached out to hand the camera, he forgot to take off the rope around his neck. As soon as Tan Boyuan got the camera, he touched this and that, and asked, "Why don't you need to apply film? If you don't apply film, do you still call the camera?"

Tang Qi was holding the phoenix-eye spoon-shaped jade in his hand, and was looking carefully. Unfortunately, Tan Boyuan pulled the camera and Tang Qi loosened his hand, and the jade pendant in his hand fell to the ground, falling into two halves.

When Tan Boyuan saw it, something bad happened. This jade pendant is the country's cultural heritage, and the treasure comes. If you fall like this, you will cause a big disaster? What should I do?

Tang Qi was shocked when he saw the phoenix-eye spoon-shaped jade falling underground, and the tip of the teeth and the bend of the spoon broke, falling in half. Although he was young, he also knew that the museum's things were priceless treasures and he could not afford to pay. This time, it was so terrible that if the jade was broken, his father would not be able to pay even if he lost everything!

"You...you..." Tan Boyuan threw the camera back to Tang Qi, and jumped up in anger, "You broke this piece of jade, you...you have caused a big disaster."

Tang Qi was so scared that he pounced, knelt in front of Tan Boyuan on both knees, begging, "Principal, please help me, please."

"How can I help you?" Tan Boyuan also scratched his scalp anxiously, "If you want to compensate, can you afford it?"

Tang Qi thought to himself, now that the jade block has fallen like this, what else can I do besides compensation? He asked: "I will pay, tell me, how much does it cost?"

Tan Boyuan slapped his thigh with his hand and asked more: "You really can afford it?"

Tang Qi was so anxious that he cried: "I won't pay my life if I don't pay it?"

"Child," Tan Boyuan is not angry now. Instead, he stands on Tang Qi's side and shares the difficulties for him. "It's not that I am the principal who doesn't help you, but I can't help you at all. This piece of jade, at the current market price, is worth at least 130,000 to 140,000. I try to protect you, say a few more good words to my superiors, and reduce it by 10,000 or 20,000 is not a problem."

Who knew that when Tang Qi heard it, he only had 130,000 to 140,000 yuan, he breathed a sigh of relief and said as if he was guaranteed: "No need to say good things to the principal, I can afford it if I can afford it."

"Can you afford it?" Tan Boyuan was a little disbelief and thought to himself that in this era, the whole country was in poverty, so where did you get to spend 130,000 to 130,000 yuan?

Tang Qi was still afraid that Tan Boyuan would regret it, so he said confidently: "I can afford it, but I didn't bring so much money now. I will pay you the money tomorrow. Can you?"

When Tan Boyuan heard this, although he didn't really believe that he could really afford it, he no longer doubted when he said so firmly. Since he said that he could compensate, it would be much better than that he could not afford it and ruin his whole family's bankruptcy, he said: "Child, please send a compensation statement and attach your address and class and name to your family. I'll go to your house to collect money tomorrow. How about it? You, a student, bring so many to the school, it's not safe."

Tang Qi happily wrote a compensation statement to Tan Boyuan.

The next day, Tang Qi didn't see Tan Boyuan go to his house to collect money, so he thought Tan Boyuan had forgotten about this.

Tang Qi thought to himself: "I wish you didn't want to come to my house to collect money. Otherwise, I'll make a repair for my father. Now, you forgot, it's not that I don't want to compensate, but I'm no wonder."

I went to school happily, but I never dared to step into the Qing Dynasty Relics Museum.

During class, the class teacher gave a welcome speech and assigned a learning task to the students: Tell us about the first impression Huiya Middle School gave you. The requirement can be a full text essay or a set of pictures.

Tang Qi’s biggest headache was writing essays, so he sorted out all the photos he took in the Qing Dynasty Relics Museum and printed them out as a task was handed over.

Who knew that after the head teacher finished watching it, he cursed Tang Qi bluntly: "Did you take these photos? Students are honest. How could you hand over the photos taken by your grandfather?"

Monk Tang Qier was confused and thought to himself: I just took these photos yesterday, how could it be said that my grandfather took them? He defended himself: "My grandfather had never studied in Huiya Middle School, and my family had only moved to this province and this city for less than three years. When he was young, he could not have been able to travel far away to study here."

The head teacher became popular: "You are still quibbling? Look at the museum you took. Is the current museum like this?"

When Tang Qi heard this, he became even more surprised. He ran to the museum to see it. He was so terrible and stupid.

What's going on? Where did you see the Qing Dynasty wood carvings in the museum yesterday? Why did they all change to modern fancy decorations?

"What's even more outrageous is that," the head teacher kept scolding him, pulled out the photo of the phoenix-eye spoon-shaped jade, pointed to the jade block on it and said, "Just just hand over the photo taken by your grandfather, but he was so bold to fake it. I haven't even seen this phoenix-eye spoon-shaped jade before, so how could you take the complete photo of it?"

The head teacher was very angry and deducted many of Tang Qi's personal assessment scores, and reported this to the principal.

When the then principal Zhao Gucheng heard the name of Tang Qi, he immediately reported that he came in. When he saw Tang Qi at the age of fourteen or fifteen, he wondered and asked, "You really call him Tang Qi?"

When Tang Qi saw Zhao Gucheng, he was also puzzled and thought to himself: "Hey, why is this person the principal? If he is really the principal of Huiya Middle School, then the principal he saw in the museum yesterday must be fake." Thinking of this, he was happy, "If the principal he saw yesterday was a fake principal, then thank God. I was shameless and refused to admit it. I saw what method you can do to me?"

Zhao Gucheng asked, but when he saw that Tang Qi did not answer, he was laughing secretly, and became angry: "What are you asking about you, why are you calling Tang Qi?"

Tang Qi was unhappy and replied to him: "Your father gave you his current name. Have you asked him why he didn't?"

Zhao Gucheng was so angry that he walked back and forth a few times, and asked again: "Did you really take the photos in the museum you submitted?"

Tang Qi nodded.

Zhao Gucheng was surprised and couldn't help asking: "You are only fourteen or fifteen years old. How could you take pictures of the appearance of the museum fifty years ago?"

"Ah?" Tang Qi's mouth became bigger when he heard this, "You said, the photos I took were fifty years ago?"

When Zhao Gucheng heard Tang Qi's replies, he immediately remembered the incident of phoenix-eye spoon-shaped jade-shattering incident that happened when Tan Boyuan was the principal of Huiya Middle School. He thought to himself: "It's amazing, it's amazing. It turns out that what Principal Tan said is true. I thought he had hit a ghost. But how could this be possible? After half a century of separation, why did something that could not be explained clearly in science? "

Zhao Gucheng felt that this matter was extraordinary, so he quickly handed Tang Qi over to the police station and called Tan Boyuan to notify.

Tan Boyuan came to the police station and as soon as he entered the door, he recognized Tang Qi. He said to the police with an excited expression: "It's him, it's him, the student I mentioned, it's him." However, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "It's been over fifty years, why has this child not changed at all? It's still the same way that he broke the phoenix-eye spoon-shaped jade, which was strange."

Tang Qi met Tan Boyuan, and it was his turn to be depressed. He slapped the table and shouted: "Uncle, I broke the phoenix eye spoon-shaped jade, but I'm not with you. I haven't seen you before, so don't blame others."

Tan Boyuan took out his photo of his time as the principal of Huiya Middle School from his pocket and showed it to Tang Qi. When Tang Qi saw it, he felt upset: "Yes, the principal I met in the museum yesterday was the person in the photo. But yesterday it was only one day, why did he get so much older? No, it must be that he made a mistake."

Tang Qi denied the fact that he broke the phoenix eye and spoon-shaped jade.

Tan Boyuan had to take out the set of photos that Tang Qi handed over to the head teacher to the police and showed them: "Look, these are the museum photos he took when he broke the phoenix eye spoon-shaped jade. These photos can prove in turn that he is the criminal at the scene of the crime."

The police looked at the set of photos carefully and nodded in agreement.

Tang Qi was not stupid and immediately retorted: "Fifty years ago, did you have a color camera?"

"Yes!" Tan Boyuan said: "I didn't know what a digital camera was back then, but rich people in that era had color cameras. No wonder you patted your chest and said you could afford to pay for 130,000 or 40,000."

Tang Qi expressed his objection: "You said I broke the phoenix-eye spoon-shaped jade fifty years ago. You can check my household registration and see which year I was born? I am only fifteen years old this year. How could I break the phoenix-eye spoon-shaped jade fifty years ago?"

When the police heard this, they nodded in agreement.

That's right, the phoenix-eye spoon-shaped jade was broken fifty years ago, which was a well-known stirring incident at that time, and Tan Boyuan was punished for being dismissed. This incident was an old thing for Tan Boyuan for nearly half a century, but for Tang Qi, it was only a day after yesterday's incident. After waiting fifty years, Tan Boyuan found the perpetrator of the broken jade, Tang Qi; and the museum photos taken by Tang Qi also showed evidence of his presence. The testimony and evidence provided by Tan Boyuan can all show that the phoenix-eye spoon-shaped jade was broken by Tang Qi. However, Tang Qi's age also shows that he could not have appeared fifty years ago and smashed the phoenix-eye spoon-shaped jade.

This incident really gave the police a headache.
