Zhao Xin is not from the island country, he is just a small businessman who often goes to the island country to discuss business. He has opened a small company in China, which sounds nice and provides high-quality medical services to high-net-worth people. In fact, he just attracts customers.
Physical examination in Japanese hospital.
Because of a little language talent and years of watching Japanese dramas...ahem, it's not that kind of Japanese drama. Zhao Xin studied foreign languages by himself for a period of time. And as he came more often and talked more about business, he
My Japanese proficiency is actually pretty good.
It all started more than half a year ago when he met Liji and his wife. Zhao Xin came to the island country again, this time mainly to discuss cooperation with a hospital in Kyoto, and stayed for seven or eight days in a row. In his spare time, he would also go out on the street
Wandering around various small shops in the alley. One day when he accidentally came to a second-hand shop, he saw a yellowish oval jade pendant on the counter. The style was quite beautiful, surrounding the oval.
A small beetle dragon was carved.
The more Zhao Xin looked at this thing, the more he liked it, so he started chatting with the boss. It happened that the owner of the store was also a talkative person, and he had also traveled to China, so the two quickly started chatting.
Zhao Xin said that he had worked in Tokyo for many years and was here on a business trip this time. When he had finished talking nonsense with his boss, he pretended to be casual and asked about the jade pendant.
The shop owner said that he bought it from a Chinese who was traveling in Japan. Since there was no craftsman to sign it, it’s hard to tell the age. It was probably from the late Ming Dynasty or the early Qing Dynasty.
When Zhao Xin asked his boss to take out the jade pendant and look at it carefully, he found that the jade pendant was quite moist and had a word engraved on the back. After careful identification, he saw that there were three dashes on the left side of the word and three dashes on the right side.
It was so blurry that I couldn't tell what the word was. After some bargaining, Zhao Xin bought the jade pendant for 500,000 yen, which was more than 30,000 yuan in total.
After returning to the hotel that night, Zhao Xin lay on the bed and watched TV, holding the jade pendant in his hand and rubbing it. He once heard a fake expert say that jade must be "sweated", that is, it must be "sweat-nourished", that is, it must be nourished by human body secretions.
Sweat and oil can be used to improve the moistness of jade through long-term play.
Unknowingly, he fell asleep holding the jade pendant. So he completed his first time travel in his sleep. Fortunately, he was lazy and forgot to take off his clothes and fell asleep. It would have been very embarrassing if he only wore pants.
.
Zhao Xin fell asleep and felt so cold. He tried to grab the quilt, but he couldn't find the quilt even though he was confused. In the end, he woke up from the cold.
It was dark all around. He went to reach for the mobile phone on the bedside out of habit, but found nothing. Only then did he realize that he was lying on the wooden floor.
"Where is this?" He rubbed his eyes, trying to figure out where he was, but everything was pitch black.
After some groping, he felt that he had touched a door. He pushed it lightly at first, but did not push it. Zhao Xin was angry when he got up, and he felt anxious, so he raised his foot and kicked the door without thinking.
"Bang!" There was a loud sound, and the door opened. Zhao Xin hurriedly got out, and then he realized that he was under a porch.
The sound of kicking the door startled the sleeping owner of the mansion. A faint light began to appear in a room not far away. Someone must have lit a candle. Zhao Xin, who was in a dazed state, saw the light and went to that room.
He walked away. Since he had not yet woken up, he reached the door and opened the barrier door violently.
Two men and a woman in white underwear in the room stared blankly at him.
The man and woman were stunned for a while, and then suddenly shouted. The man turned around and rushed to the side of the desk, reaching out to grab the long knife placed on the desk.
Fortunately, he yelled, otherwise Zhao Xin would not have woken up.
So... then Zhao Xin closed the barrier door again, turned around and ran away.
Before the courtyard started to buzz with people, Zhao Xin hurriedly returned to the courtyard and quickly looked around.
Huh? There is a low wall there!
Zhao Xin took a few steps, jumped up the low wall, and then climbed over the wall to escape from the house. After he ran more than ten meters, there were waves of "catch the thief" sounds behind him.
When his hand climbed over the wall, a large piece of skin was scratched by the tiles on the wall, but because of his nervousness and intense adrenal gland secretion, Zhao Xin did not notice the pain at all.
What he didn't notice was that the blood flowing from his palm was absorbed by the jade pendant he was holding, and the wound healed quickly.
It was still early and there were not many people on the street. When Zhao Xin ran past a street intersection, he saw a Gaoxuan (notice board). Eager to find out what was going on, he hurried to the Gaoxuan to take a look.
, I only saw that at the end of the notice above, it actually said February of the third year of Tianming!!!
"What the hell year is this? Dawn, dawn..." While nervous, Zhao Xin suddenly found that he was still holding the jade pendant he had just bought in his hand.
"Could it be it..." He muttered in his heart, and unconsciously rubbed the jade pendant a few times with his fingers. Then his eyes blurred, and he found that he was actually standing on the crosswalk of the main road.
"Why are you so dizzy?"
"Woo~!"
A taxi honked its horn and drove over without slowing down. Zhao Xin subconsciously took a step back. Feeling that the world was spinning, he staggered, and the taxi almost flew past him. Faintly, Zhao Xin seemed
I heard the driver roaring.
At this time, the sky was slightly bright. Zhao Xin, who was barefoot, sat on the curb and rested for a long time. The dizziness and chest tightness felt better. He looked around blankly, and it took him a long time to realize that this place was only a few meters away from the hotel he was staying in.
It was two blocks away, so we had to walk to the hotel.
He returned to the guest room in confusion and found that he did not bring his room card, so Zhao Xin went downstairs to the front desk to get the room card. After entering the room, Zhao Xin lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, thinking about everything that happened not long ago.
"I'm the one who went there~~I see." After a while, until the sky was bright outside, Zhao Xin finally figured out what was going on.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After taking a shower and changing clothes, he opened the notebook he carried and checked online. Only then did he know that the third year of Tianming was 1783, and the island country was Tokugawa.
The shogunate period, while domestically it was the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
Then he tried hard to recall the dark room he was in at the beginning. It seemed that it was a warehouse? There seemed to be many boxes stacked against the wall of the room...
Do you want to go again? Zhao Xin hesitated again and again, but his strong curiosity drove him to go anyway.
However, Zhao Xin, a chicken thief, decided to make some preparations. He first went to the street and bought a pair of dark blue pants and a dark blue hoodie, and then bought a dark blue pure cotton scarf and a small LED flashlight.
Then, when he went to a small store selling kitchenware, he bought two sharp Japanese kitchen knives.
Late at night, Zhao Xin first hung a "No Disturbance" sign outside the guest room door, then closed the door and locked it, and then started to put on the newly bought clothes and pants.
He gestured to the position of his eyes, poked two holes in the scarf, wrapped the scarf around his face, took out the LED flashlight and tested the brightness, and finally, he picked up a newly purchased kitchen knife.
After stroking the jade pendant a few times, Zhao Xin's eyes were dazzled. He found that he was back in the dark warehouse again. However, he did not dare to move, and even his breathing slowed down a lot, because now he was outside the door.
Someone was talking, and they were talking from far to near.
"I said, it's already so late, so the thief won't come again, right?"
"It's hard to say. This is the first time in so many years that a thief has come into our yard. The year is not good, and if you are in a hurry, you will do anything..."
The sound gradually faded away along with the footsteps. Zhao Xin carefully turned on the flashlight until he could no longer hear it.
This warehouse is not very big. Zhao Xin visually inspected it and found that it was about thirty square meters. On both sides of the wall, there were stacks of small boxes, about dozens of them. On the other side, there were dozens of small boxes.
Under one wall, there are several large boxes.
He walked gently to the small boxes, looked at them with a flashlight, and found that none of the boxes were locked, so he opened one of them.
As soon as the box was opened, Zhao Xin couldn't help but let out a slight "hiss" in his mouth.
Under the light of the flashlight, the box emitted a dazzling golden light, and a box full of small gold...
He opened several other small boxes and found that there were still small judgments.
"Whose home is this? He is so rich!" Zhao Xin muttered in his heart.
He walked to the other side and gently opened a few large boxes. Inside were all porcelain, all kinds of porcelain, and the porcelain was filled very tightly with straw to prevent bumps.
Zhao Xin used a flashlight to look closely and found that these porcelains were very similar to Jun porcelain. He had seen several large-scale porcelains at the home of a rich second-generation friend in China.
"Oh my god, could it be...is it that family?! No! There's no way that family has these things right now."
Zhao Xin's rich second-generation friend's father made his fortune by purchasing a batch of Jun porcelain from the Song Dynasty from a noble family in the island country in his early years. Many years later, he became one of the invisible rich men in the country. The money in his hands
It is said that many large Jun porcelain pieces from the Song Dynasty are not even available in the Forbidden City. Therefore, every time museums across the country want to hold a Jun porcelain exhibition, they have to temporarily borrow large Jun porcelain pieces from his home for the exhibition. A certain industrial tycoon once spent 1.5 billion from a wealthy second-hand man.
The Dai family just bought three small Jun porcelain pieces from the Song Dynasty.
What to do? Zhao Xin thought of 1894, 1904, 1931, 1937 a hundred years later...
Well, to sum up, he believes that what he is doing at this moment must be absolutely just.
So Zhao Xin tried to move a small box.
"I'll go! It's so heavy!" He almost doubled over without paying attention.
What to do? Zhao Xin put his hand on the edge of his trouser pocket, and the jade pendant was in his trouser pocket. He was ready to run away at any time if anything unusual happened.
"Should there be a storage space? It seems like this is what is written in novels. Try it?" He thought of this, then took out the jade pendant, touched the box with one hand, and began to whisper the "spell" in his imagination.
"Go in. Go in." No response.
"Put it in. Put it in." Still no response.
"Let's go~" There will definitely be no reaction from this.
"what is it?"
Zhao Xin is in trouble. It seems there is no space. In this case, he can only put the gold in his pocket and take it away slowly.
So, Zhao Xin opened a small box, took out the small gold coins and put them in his jacket and trouser pockets until they were full. Then he rubbed the jade pendant and disappeared. In other words, the gold coins in the shogunate in this era were not pure gold, otherwise the trouser pockets
There are so many gold coins in it that the pockets of your trouser pockets might burst.
After working back and forth for more than half an hour, Zhao Xin didn't take much in total. In the darkness, Zhao Xin slumped on the ground, holding the box with one hand, breathing lightly. Inadvertently, he used the jade pendant in his hand to put it on the small box.
After knocking it, the box disappeared! Zhao Xin raised his hand to the air, and with a thud, his elbow hit the floor.
"I'll go! What does this mean?" Zhao Xin was stunned, "It turns out there's no need for a spell."
He tried to tap the jade pendant gently on the ground, and the box appeared!
Okay, don't think about anything, hurry up. Zhao Xin took the jade pendant and started knocking on the boxes one by one in the warehouse until they were all taken away.
When he appeared in the guest room again, the first thing he did was to open his laptop and search the Internet. After several hours of careful inquiry and comparison, Zhao Xin determined that the large boxes of porcelain were Jun porcelain, but with him
The rich second-generation friend’s family is not from the same family.
Thinking about it, the Song Dynasty was the highest peak of Chinese classical culture, and many islanders were avid fans of the Song Dynasty. In ancient times, there were very frequent exchanges between the two sides. There should be some Jun porcelain passed down from the Southern Song Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty. But the ones in this family's warehouse
It’s too much! You can even open a museum and charge entrance fees.
It is said that the island country has been basically stable since the Battle of Sekigahara. Except for the "Amakusa Uprising", there has been no major nationwide turmoil. Therefore, many antiques can be handed down intact. This is not like the country, which experienced the Song Dynasty
After a series of wars and movements at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, etc., there are not many famous porcelains in the Song Dynasty.
At an auction held by Poly in the spring of 2019, just a Jun porcelain flowerpot from the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty, with a height of 20 cm and a diameter of 28 cm, was sold for HKD 9.44 million. If this was from the Northern Song Dynasty, how much would it cost?
?
Priceless!
There is no way, there are fewer and fewer good things from the Song Dynasty, and the imitations from the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties are also very expensive.
As for the more than ten boxes of small gold coins, Zhao Xin found out that they were "Yuanwen small gold coins" that were minted in the first year of Yuanwen. Each piece has a face value of one tael, weighs about 13 grams, and has a gold content of about 65%. The current market valuation is about 1 tael per coin.
Each piece is between 100,000 and 180,000 yen, but the specific transaction price will vary greatly. The best-looking ones can even be sold for 340,000 yen.
Zhao Xin felt that he must have a comprehensive plan to safely dispose of these large and small boxes and their contents.
After a night of thinking, he came up with a preliminary plan. Zhao Xin changed his clothes, took out 20 small gold coins and put them in his bag, and went downstairs from the hotel's emergency exit. According to the navigation on the mobile phone map, he started to pick up people at every house on the street.
One family looks for antique shops.
Three days passed like this.
For Zhao Xin, all his operations in the past three days were a race against time.
On the first day, after visiting almost eight or nine antique shops, Zhao Xin finally selected one and decided to chat with the boss. Although the quality and appearance of these small antiques were excellent and completely top-grade, Zhao Xin also
No supporting documents could be produced. After some bargaining, 20 small gold pieces were sold at a price of 120,000 yen each. After completing the transaction, the store owner seemed to see that Zhao Xin had more than the 20 small gold pieces, and then
He said that if there were any of the same quality, they could be sold to him at a favorable price.
Zhao Xin didn't dare to continue trading here. If the owner of this store had bad intentions or called the police, he would be in big trouble.
The 2.4 million yen obtained from this transaction was still far from Zhao Xin's goal. When he saw that there was still time, he rushed back to the hotel, took 30 small deposits again, and bought them in several antique stores he had visited before.
, chose another company and sold 10 small gold coins for a total price of 1.15 million yen.
Within two days, he visited antique shops of all sizes in Kyoto, and finally sold 340 small gold pieces in more than 20 antique shops, with a total transaction amount of 51 million and an average price of 150,000 pieces.
Such frequent operations caused wild rumors among Kyoto antique circles. There was a young man who sold hundreds of yuanwen small gold coins in the past two days. The news quickly spread to the Internet. For a time, people in Osaka and even Tokyo
Antique dealers and collectors are preparing to leave for Kyoto.
On the other side, in Kyoto in the 18th century, in the morning two days later...
The owner of this mansion came to the warehouse from the main house. He planned to select several expensive tea utensils today to use as bribe gifts when he went to Edo.
No way! Now Tanuma Yiji is the chief veteran of the shogunate. If he wants to get things done, he must pay bribes. Over in Edo, if you ask people from the government to do things without spending money, there will be no chance.
When the owner locked the door of the warehouse...that damn thief! Originally, this house was very safe and no one had ever broken into it. But after the intruder incident occurred in the early morning of the previous few days, he would
A large lock was added to the door of the warehouse. Fortunately, after careful inventory, he found that nothing was missing. However, he still planned to ask craftsmen to build a stronger warehouse in a few days and move all his belongings.
past.
The door was opened.
It was empty, not a single box.
"Huh? I went to the wrong house again, bad memory." The owner shook his head and whispered, then turned and walked out the door.
wrong!!!
He looked at the key in his hand and then at the big lock in the other hand. The owner suddenly turned around and rushed into the warehouse.
This is my warehouse, where are my things?!!!
On the street not far away, several pedestrians who were passing by this mansion suddenly heard a long roar coming from the mansion. The sound was shrill and plaintive that they had never heard before.
.Several pedestrians were startled, so they quickened their pace and moved away.
A few days later, this great businessman, who was very famous in Kyoto, Osaka and Edo, hanged himself.
