Chapter Three Hundred and Fifteen: The Treasure of the Ancient Tree Garden
Not long after Zhou Shen returned to the studio, he learned about a funeral at the Xiao family manor.
The main reason was because the surveillance camera on the street corner captured the funeral parlor's car, so Zhang Sanchuan asked the question in passing.
After Zhou Shen learned about this, he immediately realized that something must have happened to the old man.
And they didn't even call an ambulance. They were picked up directly by the funeral home's car. I couldn't believe there was anyone else in that direction, so of course I could guess it.
Later, Zhou Shen called up the funeral home's camera and found Xiao Qing. It seemed that when Xiao Qing went back, something happened to the old man.
In fact, when the old man was talking to himself, he had already shown signs of returning to his former glory. Although Zhou Shen could see it, there was nothing he could do about it.
There are many ways to treat diseases, including traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but there are really not many ways to extend people's lives. The old man died at the end of his life, and there is nothing that can be done about it.
"Check for me about the news about the ancient tree garden and find a person named Zhou Yang!"
Xiao Qing should have gotten some news from Zhou Yang. This was Zhou Shen's estimate. Although he was lagging behind, he couldn't just wait and see.
"This... boss, Zhou Yang passed away just a few years ago!"
Passed away?
Zhou Shen was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a while. If Zhou Yang died, it means that Xiao Qing's source of information has been cut off!
But how can a child of destiny give up so easily?
"Check the people who are related to Zhou Yang, relatives and friends, and what relationship they have with Gushu Yuanzi!"
"Found it, Zhou Yang has a son named Zhou Licheng, who is now the owner of the antique pavilion in the ancient tree garden!"
Zhou Shen silently remembered the name Antique Pavilion in his heart, and then began to check the relationship between Antique Pavilion and the Xiao family on the Internet.
Although Antique Pavilion is a place for buying and selling antiques, it has its own official website, and it does a pretty good job.
As soon as I searched Antique Pavilion, relevant information immediately appeared.
It says that the Antique Pavilion will hold an annual treasure fight in the near future. The participants are all the antique shop owners around the ancient tree garden, as well as some collectors from other provinces.
This can be regarded as an annual event for antique lovers in Dragon City. The first place winner in the treasure fighting competition last year was a collector from Gyeonggi Province who has a museum at home.
A kind of lotus cup produced by the official kiln of the Song Dynasty is his biggest killer weapon. If there is only one lotus cup, he may not win the championship, but this boss has a whole trick at his disposal!
But counting back, since the beginning of this treasure fighting meeting, most of the winners are from the Antique Pavilion!
The Antique Pavilion is nicknamed a small museum by people. Even just walking in is enough to make people feel relaxed and happy.
The description of this place was so wonderful that Zhou Shen realized that it was not simple.
Longcheng is a place with outstanding people, and there are mountains surrounding it. Jiangnan Province is also a place where ancient capitals gather, and there are countless old objects handed down. What is the connection between Xiao Qing and Zhou Licheng, the owner of this antique pavilion?
We can't act rashly this time, we should make subtle moves!
At this time, Zhao Chong walked over from the side with a tablet in his hand and handed it to Zhou Shen.
"Boss, this is what I just found, look at it!"
Zhou Shen took the tablet and took a closer look. It was a piece of news from Dongshan, probably more than 20 years ago.
It was still the late 1990s, and counting the time, I might not even have been born yet.
The headline of the news was very simple, "Dongchengtang, the largest antique store in Dongshan, closed down due to counterfeiting. Nearly hundreds of fake and shoddy antiques were found in the store, with a total value of millions!"
Antique shop in Dongshan, Dongchengtang?
What is this? Where is it?
And it was news from more than 20 years ago!
"What do you mean, you also found news from more than 20 years ago?"
"No, no, no, that's not the point. The point is the young people who contributed. Look at their names!"
"Xiao Jing, Xiao Chengyun, Xiao Kun, etc., aren't these all Xiao family members?"
Zhao Chong nodded and said in a deep voice:
"This news was originally just a picture, and there are no relevant keywords on the Internet. I think Zhou Yang in this ancient tree garden must have something to do with the Xiao family. Zhou Yang is engaged in antique trading and appraising antiques. So the Xiao family has something to do with him.
The possible connection is because of the antiques!"
"Yes, this news is quite important. The Xiao family seems to have something to do with antiques. Do you think they are a family of treasure appraisers or something?"
Zhang Sanchuan was attracted by this topic and interjected:
"It's not impossible. Nowadays, more and more good things are being unearthed, and there are many rich people who are interested in this. I have a friend who is in the treasure appraisal industry, and he makes a lot of money every year.
!”
"Ask your friend if he knows about the Xiao family. I think I have found an entry point!"
Jiang Yeming also came over at this moment and said in a serious voice:
"I also made a discovery here, come and take a look!"
Zhou Shen Xunsheng walked over and was slightly surprised when he saw the message on Jiang Yeming's computer page.
"Li Zhengqi is going to participate in this treasure fighting meeting, and he has taken out all the jade pots and spring vases passed down from his family!"
The above report makes it clear that if Li Zhengqi wants to participate in the treasure fighting meeting, he needs the joint guarantee of a collector in Longcheng and an antique shop owner, which is nothing to the young master of the Li family.
But this kid actually took out the jade pot and spring bottle to participate in this treasure fighting meeting. You know, if this thing has exquisite texture and is well preserved, it will be worth a million levels at first!
If it was the Yuan Dynasty, the starting price would be two million. If it was the Song Dynasty, it would probably start at the tens of millions level. It also depends on how much the patterns on it are worth.
"What does this guy mean? If you don't do business well, why do you want to have a treasure fight?"
After hearing Zhou Shen's words, Jiang Yeming shrugged his shoulders and said:
"It's not surprising. Li Bao hid his son in the snow before to keep a low profile. Now that the Ye family has fallen, it is a good opportunity for the Li family to rise. Anyone with a famous name must make good use of it, and Li Bao is just
He was originally a jewelry merchant, look below!"
Zhou Shen looked down and realized that this jade pot spring vase was just a stepping stone. The real thing that was going to be used as the anchor was actually a jade seal carved from a whole piece of Hetian jade!
This thing is simply priceless. Experts estimate that it starts at 600 million!
If this piece of jade is placed in the hands of someone who loves jade as much as their fate, just touching it is enough to make them have no regrets in their lives.
I am afraid that only Li Baocai knows the origin of this jade seal.
From this point of view, Li Baocai almost certainly won the treasure battle this time.
Zhou Shen didn't care much at first, until he later learned another news!
