"Master Qin, look at this, I...I really didn't mean it?"!
Looking at the sand table scattered on the ground, Miao Liuzhi was about to cry without tears. He slapped himself hard on the face and said: "This... the treasure map is gone, but what should I do?"
ah?"
The object that he had been thinking about all his life appeared in front of him, but he destroyed it because of his own recklessness. Miao Liuzhi really wanted to kill him head-on.
"Old Miao, it may not be some treasure map, don't think too much about it."
Qin Feng sighed and said: "Ma Xinyi fought with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom back then. Maybe it was the marching sand table he made back then. Just destroy it..."
To be honest, Qin Feng didn't even believe what he said. There were only two mountains on the sand table, and there were flags planted in the mountains. Nine times out of ten, it was really the treasure location mentioned by Miao Liuzhi.
However, Qin Feng had already memorized nine out of ten of the mountainous landforms and the locations of the flags. Only the last position was a bit blurry. Even if the sand table was destroyed, it was not impossible to find those marked places.
"Oh, Mr. Qin, in short, it's my fault."
After what happened just now, Miao Liuzhi's spirit became much depressed. Thinking that his master's last wish was destroyed in this way, Miao Liuzhi couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Hey, Lao Miao, what is this?"
Qin Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Don't think so much. You sit on the box over there and rest for a while. I will clean up these arrows. Then we open the box and see what's inside. If you get such gold, you
Not satisfied yet?"
"Master Qin, I listen to you."
Miao Liuzhi was thrown badly by Qin Feng just now. He didn't show any courage and sat down against a wooden box, but he didn't dare to sit down on his butt. After all, after more than a hundred years, these wooden boxes were all rotten.
Already.
Qin Feng worked very quickly. In less than ten minutes, he pulled out all the arrows on the ground and placed a lot of arrows in the corner.
However, during this process, the wooden shafts of many arrows rotted away, and many iron arrowheads remained in the masonry underground. The originally smooth ground became somewhat pitted.
"Damn, that's so cruel. If Lao Ma's descendants make the wrong move, wouldn't they be pierced by thousands of arrows?" Looking at the pair of arrows, Qin Feng couldn't help but curse.
"Master Qin, if that is really a treasure map, no matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious."
At this time, Miao Liuzhi's face looked better and he stood up and said, "Ma Xinyi fought a lot of battles with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom back then. He must have made a lot of money in private, so he should be here."
"Okay, let's see what Lao Ma left us."
Qin Feng nodded, walked to the wooden box where Miao Liuzhi was sitting, touched the door with his foot, and the entire wooden box immediately disintegrated.
"Or gold? So much gold needs to be purified, why not get some antiques for convenience..."
Qin Feng frowned slightly, because after the wooden box was disintegrated, hundreds of gold ingots rolled to the ground, and their appearance was exactly the same as the box just now.
Qin Feng is not very interested in gold. Firstly, the gold is not pure enough and purification is troublesome. Secondly, the buying and selling of precious metals is controlled by the state and cannot be traded by private individuals.
In other words, Qin Feng not only needs to purify the gold, but also needs to sell it on the black market, which involves more or less risks.
"Master Qin, it's not troublesome. Just let Honghu and the others do it..."
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Miao Liuzhi felt a little better. He raised his eyes and said, "The tools are all ready-made and there are markets for them, but the price is cheaper."
Those in the Gan Miao Liuzhi profession are much fonder of gold, and stolen goods such as gold rings and gold necklaces are the most common in their hands.
Those objects are similar to this gold ingot, they are all shady things, so Yu Honghu has a set of tools specifically for melting gold to make jewelry, and there is no need to take the gold ingot in front of him outside.
"Well, make it according to the specifications of bank gold bricks..."
Qin Feng pondered for a moment and then said: "There is no need to sell it out. We can absorb the millions of gold in our own store."
"True Jade Square" is in the jade business. Jade and gold also complement each other, just like some rings and necklaces. Many of the main bodies are made of gold and then decorated with jewelry.
"This is a way." Miao Liuzhi nodded when he heard this. Seeing that Qin Feng was about to open another box, he quickly moved over.
Originally, these wooden boxes looked quite solid, but when air entered the sealed space, the boxes began to decay at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye. Qin Feng just touched it lightly, and the locks on the box were full of rust.
It fell to the ground.
"Huh? This...are these all jewelry?"
When the box was opened, his eyes were dazzled by a burst of light. The box full of pearls and jade showed various lusters under the light.
"This is the Dongzhu, right? It's really different from the pearls in the south." Seeing a string of pearls the size of a thumbnail, Qin Feng reached out and took it.
During the Qing Dynasty, the pearls produced in Longxing, the northeastern region, were the most precious. The rulers of the Qing Dynasty regarded Dongzhu as a treasure and used it to inlay in crowns and attire to express power and honor.
The necklace on Qin Feng's hand is made of 108 East beads. If it were placed more than a hundred years ago, such a necklace would definitely be priceless.
"Huh? What...what's going on?"
Just when Qin Feng was about to take the string of pearls to the lamp for a closer inspection, he suddenly found that with a flick of his hand, the pearls he held turned into a piece of powder and scattered to the ground.
"Master Qin, this object will not last long." Seeing Qin Feng's surprised look, Miao Liuzhi reminded him beside him.
"I actually forgot about this."
Qin Feng reacted after hearing this. Pearls are different from other jewelry. Their structure is extremely unstable. Generally speaking, they can only be stored for about a hundred years. After this time, they will wither into powder.
So in the antique shop, there are all kinds of things that are said to be thousands of years old, but only pearls. If the owner of the antique shop says that they are thousands of years old, you can just slap him in the face, and you are guaranteed to lose his temper.
Originally, these jewels could still maintain their luster and brightness in a sealed space, but once they were exposed to the air for a little longer, the power of time suddenly became apparent.
With a wry smile, Qin Feng threw the string of pearls on the ground and rummaged through the box again. But what made him depressed was that, except for a few pieces of agate that matched the inlay, the box contained all kinds of pearls.
Plant pearls.
"Grandma, are pearls so valuable?"
Qin Feng curled his lips and opened a box next to it. When he saw the items inside clearly, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
"Tortoiseshell Ruyi, ivory carvings, agate and jade, yes, the value of this box is no less than that of gold."
Although they are collectively called jewelry, this box of jewelry is much more precious than that box of pearls. Qin Feng took a cursory look and judged that the value of this box was at least one million.
"Old Miao, I'll give you something to play with. Maybe it was worn by some prince." Qin Feng raised his hand and threw something towards Miao Liuzhi.
"Master Qin, you really made it right."
Miao Liuzhi took the object and looked at it. He immediately laughed and said, "Look at the back, there are the words Prince Gong's Mansion on it. I guess it was really given to Ma Xinyi by Prince Gong."
"Huh? No, change it, change it." After hearing Miao Liuzhi's words, Qin Feng showed a look of regret on his face. He came up to grab the ring, but was tightly protected by Miao Liuzhi.
"Okay, I'll give it to you."
The two people's quarrel dissipated a lot of the tension about the destruction of the sand table. This was exactly the effect Qin Feng wanted. With his eyesight, how could he not see the words on the inner wall of the finger?
There were two boxes of gold and two boxes of jewelry. When Qin Feng opened the fifth box, it was filled with calligraphy and painting scrolls, as well as some calligraphy and painting brushes from the Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong dynasties.
However, similar to pearls, calligraphy and painting are also at the forefront in terms of difficulty in preserving cultural relics. In these two boxes of ancient calligraphy and painting scrolls, less than twenty pieces are intact, and the rest are either rotten or weathered.
"Ma Xinyi's official position is not small, and he has made a lot of money." Looking at these calligraphy and paintings, Qin Feng shook his head.
Among these calligraphy and paintings, the most well-preserved and most valuable ones are the works of Zheng Banqiao, with eight calligraphy and paintings in total. It can be said that Ma Xinyi still highly respects this painter of his generation.
There are also several Song paintings that decayed when they were opened. Even with Qin Feng's craftsmanship, it is difficult to repair them, and naturally they are no longer valuable.
"Master Qin, come and take a look." While Qin Feng was sorting out the calligraphy and paintings, Miao Liuzhi opened the last two boxes.
"Weapons? Does Lao Ma want to rebel?"
Qin Feng went over to take a look, and couldn't help but show a surprised look on his face. It was true that Ma Xinyi had led troops to fight, but he was a Jinshi and could be regarded as a civil servant. He had hidden weapons at home. If he was found out, his house would be confiscated and his family would be exterminated.
"Master Qin, Ma Xinyi is a man of both civil and military skills. All the things he has collected are good."
Miao Liuzhi was undoubtedly much more knowledgeable about Ma Xinyi than Qin Feng. He took out a three-inch long palm sword from the box and said: "When I heard that Lao Ma was fighting against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he always took the lead. Now look at it.
Come on, it’s somewhat credible.”
"Well, they are indeed sharp weapons for killing people. They should have seen blood."
Qin Feng knelt down and took a short knife with various gems inlaid on the scabbard in his hand. He took it out and took a look. There was no trace of rust on the blade inside. Under the illumination of the light, the light was discernible.
