Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, was a famous faint emperor in history.

It can even be called the best in history. Looking back thousands of years, it is difficult to find such a miserable king. The country was wiped out by foreign countries, but he was still lingering in the enemy's city, drinking wine, composing poems, and giving birth to fourteen children.

However, Zhao Ji was not good at being an emperor, but he was a genius in art. The best thing about him was that he was good at calligraphy and painting. His self-created "thin gold body" font was called iron painting and silver hook.

It is graceful and a very unique font.

Even now, many calligraphy enthusiasts regard it as a standard.

Therefore, Zhao Ji has a second identity - calligrapher and painter. This title is not ironic but true. He is indeed an outstanding calligrapher and painter, and his calligraphy and paintings can be recorded in history.

So many people say that Zhao Ji is the reincarnation of Li Yu and is here to bring harm to the Zhao family.

To be loved by such an art emperor, the first auction item, a rose purple glazed sunflower-style flowerpot, is definitely a rare treasure.

Seeing the rose-purple glazed sunflower-style flowerpot, everyone cheered up and prepared to grab this treasure.

really!

The starting price of a rose-purple glazed sunflower-style flower pot is US$500,000. Although each increase in price is still US$50,000, Assistant Li Nan's words have not yet finished.

Several people raised signs and directly raised the price to one million US dollars. Finally, this rose purple glazed sunflower-style flowerpot was bought for US$7.2 million.

"There are so many rich people. They spend millions and millions for a few inedible things. If this were replaced by food, how many people could be fed?"

Watching the auction climax one after another, with astronomical figures appearing one after another, Gong Wei couldn't help but sigh.

"Zhumen's wine-meat-smelling roads are so cold that they freeze to death. I originally thought that $200 million was already overestimated. Only after seeing the scene did I realize that I had underestimated these businessmen.

If we catch them all, not to mention the resources behind them, but just to seize them on the spot, it will cost us 500 million U.S. dollars, or even 1 billion U.S. dollars."

Looking at the astronomical transactions one after another, Yang Jianhua's eyes became much colder.

Yang Jianhua wouldn't care if a businessman honestly didn't break the law, drank, had fun, or even played with women.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish.

With the progress of reform, the country has become more open to this area. Enjoyment is human nature. As long as you don't break the law, it is normal to spend the money you earn, and it can also promote the circulation of goods.

Of course, if you break the law, don't blame the state for being ruthless.

As for whether dealing with so many businessmen will undermine the overall situation of attracting investment and lead to complaints.

Yang Jianhua didn't care at all.

It’s not that there are no ways to buy antiques. If you like it, you can spend money and go through formal channels. Although national treasures are not allowed to be traded, lower-level antiques are still allowed to be bought and sold.

And these people in front of me, whether they bought national treasures or smuggled national treasures, you know their attitude towards the country.

Even if they are not as good as the Shanxi merchants of the Ming Dynasty, they are on par with the salt merchants of Yangzhou.

It definitely does not belong to the patriotic businessman industry. Catching them is to eliminate harm to the people.

"Don't move, or I'll blow your heads off!" While the auction was being held, several special police officers entered the cockpit of the cruise ship and easily controlled the crew inside.

"We are the police. Now the ship will turn around and head inland." The leading captain said coldly.

"Drive towards the mainland, you are the police from the mainland." The captain and Li Nan were on the same team, but he knew that the auction held on the ship was illegal, so he said bluntly.

This is a blatant slap in the face to the mainland.

Forget about smuggling national treasures and openly auctioning them. This simply shows that they don't take the mainland seriously. It is inevitable that the other party will send people on board.

Mr. Li has also considered this, otherwise he would not have let Gong Wei be in charge of security, just to deal with the public security in the mainland.

Unexpectedly, despite all the layers of protection, the police were still allowed to board the boat. What did Gong Wei and the others do?

"Yes, we are the police, here is the ID." The captain took out the ID and gestured, and said,

"Turn the ship around immediately. Don't play tricks. The grab in my hand is not for nothing. This is the high seas. If a person dies, his death will be in vain.

"Understood, we are just working, and what happens on the ship has nothing to do with us." Looking at the cold muzzle of the gun, the captain surrendered.

It is better to die than to live. Li Nan is not his biological father, so why should he sacrifice his life for her?

"That's right, our matter is for the auction on the ship and has nothing to do with you crew members. You can leave directly when the time comes.

We will also compensate you accordingly for your losses."

Seeing that the crew and others were cooperating obediently, the captain gave them a sweet date.

This made the crew very happy.

Everyone is a laborer, and they know nothing but driving a boat.

I was originally worried that it would be bad luck if the ship was seized when it arrived inland.

Of course I'm not worried about my own safety.

The crew members are all working as laborers and only earn a few thousand yuan a month. Even in the mainland where the living standard is not high, they are not considered rich.

What everyone is worried about is income.

If the ship is detained in the mainland for a few months, everyone will be out of luck. Even if they do not lose their freedom of life, the key is their wages.

Ship owners are capitalists, and capitalists have dark hearts.

No one will be paid while the ship is impounded.

It's fine now. I just need to report to the mainland and leave in a few days. The key is compensation, not too much. As long as one or two months' salary, everyone will be happy.

"Sister, do you want to take action?" As time passed, the auction in the hall came to an end, with only five treasures left to be auctioned, and the other national treasures have already been named. Li Nan's assistant came to Li Nan's side,

whispered.

"How much did it cost?" Li Nan asked after taking a look at the lively scene.

"Seven hundred and sixty-seven million U.S. dollars, and there are five more treasures being auctioned, and the total is expected to exceed U.S. $850 million." The assistant had a good memory and wrote down the prices of the goods sold without using a pen.

"Eight hundred and fifty million, these guys are really rich, I underestimated them." Li Nan was very happy thinking that he would become a billionaire in a short time.

You know that you have waited a lot for this day.

It took many years of relationships to transport so many national treasures from the mainland.

Although you have to give out a large part of it, the remaining money is definitely enough for you to spend a lifetime.

"Let Gong Wei take action and take care of these people in one fell swoop, so as not to have long nights and dreams." Li Nan ordered.

"clear!"

The assistant picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke the code words for action to Gong Wei.

"What you are auctioning next is one of the finale treasures of this auction, a bronze galloping horse from the Eastern Han Dynasty!

The horse is 34.5 cm tall, 45 cm long, 13 cm wide and weighs 7.15 kg.

The horse holds its head high and neighs, has a strong torso, long limbs, light legs and hoofs, and flies forward with three legs in the air, one foot stepping on a flying swallow.

A huge horse stepped on the back of a galloping dragon bird. The little dragon bird that was stepped on turned around in surprise, as if to see clearly the huge beast that was faster than it. It showed the horse flying in the sky.

The majestic appearance of running fast.

This is a rare treasure from the same era as the treasure of the Museum of the West, and bidding is now open, with a starting price of US$10 million."

The auction reached its final stage, and the host asked people to bring up the finale treasures.

Looking at the galloping horse, many people's eyes were filled with tears.

"I'll pay you 100 million U.S. dollars." After receiving the signal that he had merged with the patrol boat, Yang Jianhua stepped forward to mess up the situation.

"One hundred million dollars, lady, are you kidding me?" Looking at the sudden appearance of Yang Jianhua, Li Nan walked up to the auction table and asked, "Are you sure you can come up with one hundred million dollars?"

"It doesn't matter whether I'm sure or not, I want everything present." Yang Jianhua shrugged and said majestically.

"You want them all, why?" asked a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

"Why, just because I am a policeman!" Yang Jianhua took out his ID.

"It doesn't matter if you are a policeman. This is high seas, and the Hong Kong police have no law enforcement authority." Li Nan was shocked when he saw the police boarding the boat, but he soon regained his composure.

This is high seas, and I am well prepared. A few policemen on board will have no impact on the overall situation. Just kill them. They are all ready to rob the ship anyway, so killing a few more policemen is normal.

Anyway, there is no proof of his death, and there is no evidence, so the Xiangjiang police can't do anything to him.

"That's right, this is high seas, and the police in Xiangjiang are too lenient. I will complain to the Independent Commission Against Corruption when I get back."

"Yes, complain!"

"complaint!"

Rich people are afraid of gangsters because if they get involved, they will cause a lot of trouble.

The police are no longer afraid.

Under Hong Kong law, the police serve the rich.

Yang Jianhua had just made a domineering appearance. They thought he was a robber or some big shot. Many people were so frightened that they did not dare to breathe. After hearing that Yang Jianhua was a policeman, they immediately resurrected with full health and denounced Yang Jianhua one after another.

Not to mention those wealthy people from Wanwan, Bangzi Country, and Southeast Asia. The Hong Kong police have no law enforcement power against them, and they are even more fearless in the face of Yang Jianhua.

"I am not a colonial policeman, I am a police officer from the mainland." Seeing the misunderstanding among Li Nan and others, Yang Jianhua held up the certificate in his hand and asked Li Nan and others to take a closer look.

Mainland ID cards are mainly red, while Hong Kong ID cards are mainly blue.

Mainland documents and Hong Kong documents are easy to identify and can be distinguished at a glance.

"So what about the mainland police? This is the high seas. You police officers have no law enforcement power. Gong Wei, come out here, take this little bitch and throw her into the sea."

Seeing Gong Wei, who had never appeared, Li Nan shouted anxiously.

"No need to call, this ship is already under our control. As for whether I have law enforcement authority, you can go to the window and open the curtains to see if I have law enforcement authority."

“Go check it out!”

Seeing that Yang Jianhua was serious, Li Nan's expression changed and he quickly ordered his assistant to check.

The hall is surrounded by windows.

However, in order to enhance the atmosphere of the auction, the windows were covered with curtains. The assistant came to the window and was stunned when he looked at the scene outside.

Because he saw the five-star red flag, and when he took a closer look, he found that the five-star red flag was flying on a warship, and the cruise ship had been surrounded by patrol warships from the mainland.

"Sister, this is the territorial waters of the mainland." The assistant looked pale and turned her head, glanced at Li Nan, and collapsed on the floor.

He knew he was finished.

Smuggling national treasures in the mainland is a capital crime, especially large-scale smuggling of national treasures. I don’t know how many people will lose their heads.

Even if you are not the principal offender but an accessory, and you can keep the order, you still have to receive a suspended death sentence or life imprisonment.

According to the mainland model, even if his sentence is reduced, he will still have to spend more than ten years in prison.

"What?" Li Nan was shocked when he heard the assistant's words. Isn't this the high seas? Why did he come to the mainland?

He quickly ran to the window and looked outside.

It's not just him.

The wealthy people present, one by one, all crowded to the window.

What appeared outside was really a Chinese warship.

What scares everyone even more is...

Several speedboats appeared on the sea, full of soldiers, and headed towards the cruise ship. Apparently they were going to board the ship.

"It's over!"

Seeing all this, Li Nan covered his chest in pain and sat on the ground.

So do the rich!

According to mainland laws, not only is smuggling rare national treasures punishable by life imprisonment or even death, but buying national treasures is also a felony. With so many rare treasures on the cruise ship, even if there are many buyers, the crime can be shared.

He also had to sit in the bitter kiln for several years.

Not to mention fines, all cash on board and Swiss bank cashier's checks will be confiscated as accounts.

"Anyone who damages a promissory note will be punished by one penalty."

Seeing that some wealthy people wanted to secretly destroy the cashier's checks they were carrying, Yang Jianhua waved his hand, and the police officers who had been prepared immediately stepped forward and quickly controlled the wealthy people.

All cashier's checks he had on him were confiscated and handed over to Yang Jianhua for disposal.

"Comrade Public Security, I confess, I confess, and I am willing to perform meritorious service." Li Nan, who grew up in the Mainland, knew that there would be leniency for confession and severity for resistance, and he immediately shouted,

"I will tell everything I know, just hoping to save my life."

"This is too..." Seeing Li Nan give in so quickly, Gong Wei was speechless.

"Smuggling is not murder and arson. The purpose is to make money and seek wealth. Generally speaking, people who are greedy for money are greedy for life and fear death. No matter how arrogant a person is, when they reach a desperate situation, they will show their true colors and kneel down to beg for mercy.

There are two types of people, you and me, who are willing to sacrifice their lives for their ideals." Yang Jianhua didn't care about Li Nan's begging for mercy. She had seen too many such situations and had long been accustomed to it.

"Take them all away." Looking at the special police entering the hall, Yang Jianhua waved his hand to push them all down.

"Ready to go home?"

There is a dedicated person in charge of the auction, and Yang Jianhua is only responsible for supervision. Her current focus is on moving the Mediterranean operation.

Compared with the antique national treasures at auction that only have cultural value and cannot be eaten or used, the success or failure of Operation Mediterranean is related to the fate of the country.

"Well, I've been home for a while, and I want to go back and have a look." Gong Wei nodded, not shying away from the fact that he wanted to go home.

"Only when you have a country can you have a home, but when you have a home, you can better contribute to the country. I will give you a month's leave to go home and have a look, and move to another house by the way. You can no longer live in that place."
