    Meng Zitao came to the conclusion: "So, I think the production time of this jade pendant should be in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, or it may be the Three Kingdoms period. Judging from its craftsmanship and pattern characteristics, etc., it shows that the owner's level is relatively high.  But there is no detailed inscription on it, so we don¡¯t know who the owner is.¡±

    After listening to Meng Zitao¡¯s detailed explanation, Shopkeeper Wu couldn¡¯t help but applaud him: ¡°Wonderful, really wonderful.¡±

    Meng Zitao smiled modestly.

    Shopkeeper Wu then pushed the jade pendant to Meng Zitao: "Teacher Meng, I keep my word, and I will give this jade pendant to you."

    "Forget it."

    Meng Zitao still smiled and declined. Although he didn't quite understand why Shopkeeper Wu insisted on giving the jade pendant to him, but as the old saying goes, no reward will be given without merit. Even if he liked this jade pendant more, he would definitely not  Accepted for free.

    "Shopkeeper Wu, I also have my own principles. Let's do this. I really like this jade pendant. Even if I take advantage of it, how about one hundred thousand?"

    The carving of this jade pendant is indeed good, and the quality of the jade is also high, but it is only because it is not big and the quality is not very good, which affects its value.  Of course, one hundred thousand is already a good price.

    Seeing what Meng Zitao said, shopkeeper Wu didn't say anything, and agreed after a few polite words.

    Meng Zitao swiped his card at Shopkeeper Wu and completed the transaction.

    As soon as everyone returned to their seats, they saw a middle-aged man wearing a black jacket, with frighteningly pale skin and silver hair walking in from the door.

    The middle-aged man was the friend that shopkeeper Wu mentioned. Meng Zitao saw that this man looked dull, but his eyes were very bright, giving people a shrewd feeling.

    Shopkeeper Wu gave a brief introduction to both parties. Because of his silver hair, the middle-aged man was nicknamed Lao Yin. He was a professional broker and occasionally guest-starred as a "shovel". According to his introduction, he acted for Shopkeeper Wu.  The jade he sold was bought from the local master.

    Shopkeeper Wu sneered: "Hey, you're so embarrassed. Why didn't you tell me clearly before? You actually deliberately disposed of the soap inside. Why didn't you dispose of the jade pendant too."

    Lao Yin chuckled: "I just felt dirty, so I took care of it. As for the clear color on the jade pendant, I'm not that capable. Okay, Lao Wu, don't complain, I'm not  It brings sincerity."

    As he spoke, he patted a box in his hand: "These are all jade items, and I carefully selected them. I guarantee that you will be satisfied. As for the price, I will definitely give you a big discount.  "

    Shopkeeper Wu said angrily: "You still have the nerve to withdraw money?"

    "Lao Yin said with a smile: "Old Wu, don't be the same as me. Besides, I also have to support my family. You don't want my whole family to go hungry, right?"

    Shopkeeper Wu waved his hand: "Don't be so playful with me. Why didn't you take care of my feelings when you asked me to sell things on my behalf?"

    Lao Yin spread his hands and said, "Okay, I'll give that soap box to you. That's okay. As for the jade pendant, I really can't afford it. That's the jade pendant unearthed from Cao Cao's tomb. I'll buy it."  It also cost a lot of money.¡±

    Shopkeeper Wu sneered and said, "You said it was unearthed from Cao Cao's tomb? Then one day I take something and say it was unearthed from Qin Shihuang's tomb. Will it cost a sky-high price?"

    Lao Yin said: "We are all friends who have known each other for many years. He won't lie to me about this, right?"

    Shopkeeper Wu smiled: "Hey, Lao Yin, when did you become so naive? Besides, Cao Cao's tomb has been excavated for some time now, and results have been produced. You told me that they were cultural relics unearthed from Cao Cao's tomb.  ?¡±

    "Do you believe that is the real tomb of Cao Cao? Please stop teasing me."

    Lao Yin sneered and said: "I have also learned about that tomb. It is said that a total of 250 things have been unearthed, including gold objects. According to "Three Kingdoms¡¤Wei Shu¡¤Wudi Ji" (Volume 1)  It is recorded in the book that there is no gold content in Cao Cao's tomb, and the clothes are "dressed according to the time of burial". Well, just because the things unearthed now are not very valuable, so it proves that it is a "thin burial"? This is really huge  A joke."

    "You know, this tomb was stolen in the early years and was stolen several times before it was excavated. How can you prove that ancient or modern tomb robbers did not steal treasures from it? If this tomb was not stolen, it would be returned  It's easy to say that it has been stolen now. This judgment is too far-fetched and unreliable."

    "Besides, whether the burial is thin or not does not prove that it is Cao Cao's tomb.Emperor Wen also advocated sparse burials before his death, but later allowed tomb robbers to steal a large amount of gold and silver treasures.  From some of the ancient tomb materials I studied, there is no unified standard for thin burials and thick burials.  "

    Meng Zitao nodded secretly, not to mention that Lao Yin's remarks are indeed reasonable. It is precisely because of this that the identification of Cao Cao's tomb is so controversial now.

    Shopkeeper Wu started to argue again: "What you said makes sense, but how can you prove that what you said is the real tomb?"

    Lao Yin said: "It's very simple. He also has Cao Cao's gold seal, but I can't afford it, so I can only look at it."

    Meng Zitao suddenly became interested and asked quickly: "Can you describe the appearance of that golden seal?"

    "It's the square gold seal of the Panlong Seal Button."

    "Where's the seal?"

    "It seems to be the seal of King Wu of Wei. I didn't see it clearly at the time."

    Meng Zitao shook his head: "If that's the case, it doesn't prove that it is Cao Cao's burial seal."

    Lao Yin was surprised: "Why, is there anyone else named King Wu of Wei?"

    Meng Zitao said: "During the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms period, when Yao Chang of the Later Qin Dynasty was proclaimed Emperor of Qin, his brother Yao Xiang was posthumously named King Wu of Wei."

    "Uh" Lao Yin was startled for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's still wrong. The style of that jade pendant is from the late Han Dynasty, and has nothing to do with the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms period."

    Shopkeeper Wu said angrily: "You are usually very smart, but why do you act stupid at a critical moment? Let's make a hypothesis, what if the gold seal is fake?"

    "This shouldn't be the case." Lao Yin looked a little bit over the top, and he said: "There should be no need for him to lie to me. There is no benefit in lying to me. In addition, didn't Cao Cao have seventy-two doubtful tombs, among which  It¡¯s normal to hide things that seem real and fake.¡±

    "You're right, I haven't seen any seventy-two tombs in official history." Shopkeeper Wu retorted.

    It should be said that in official history, Cao Cao is very famous for his frugality.  Two years before his death, Cao Cao issued an order to build a mausoleum for him on a barren land on the plateau west of the Ximen Leopard Temple. He also specifically instructed that the mausoleum should be built on high ground and that there should be no high piles on the ground.  Don't make any marks on the grave.  In the first month of the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an (220), Cao Cao died of illness in Luoyang and was buried in Gaoling in February of the same year.  Later generations speculated that the so-called Gaoling may refer to the mausoleum built on the west plain of Ximen Leopard Temple.

    However, according to legend, before his death, Cao Cao ordered people to set up seventy-two tombs outside Jiangwu City in Zhangde Prefecture to prevent future generations from knowing where his body was buried for fear that someone would discover it.  On the day of the funeral, all the city gates in Ye City were opened at the same time, and 72 coffins were carried out from the four directions of southeast and northwest at the same time and buried in the tombs prepared in advance.

    Therefore, future generations can no longer tell which one is Cao Cao's real tomb and which one is a confusing doubtful tomb.

    But all this is actually the content of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". There is no such record in historical materials. It is just because the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is so famous. As the old saying goes, three people make a tiger, so later generations are not interested in the location of Cao Cao's tomb.  Two conclusions were drawn. The first is that on the west plain of the Ximen Leopard Temple, known as Gaoling; the second is that there are 72 suspicious tombs outside Jiangwu City in Zhangde Prefecture.

    And according to current archaeological discoveries, the so-called Seventy-Two Suspicious Tombs are actually tombs from the Northern Dynasties and have nothing to do with Cao Cao.

    Getting back to the topic, Shopkeeper Wu waved his hand and said: "Come on, I won't talk to you anymore. Just take out the things you brought. Don't use any new traps."

    "Most of them are old or handed down, and there are also two new ones. Just keep them for me if you don't want them. By the way, the price" Lao Yin protected his box, as if he was afraid of being robbed by Shopkeeper Wu.  Same.

    Feng Zhengsheng became a little impatient and said bluntly: "Stop being so nagging, you will not be short of money."

    Lao Yin looked at shopkeeper Wu again and saw that he had the same expression, so he opened the box.

    I saw that the box contained many exquisite jade articles. At a rough count, there were eleven or twelve pieces, among which the main ones were jade pendants and supplemented by jade ornaments.

    Shopkeeper Wu¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw these jade articles: ¡°Good boy, where did you go to shop for goods and you actually got so many treasures?¡±

    "Lao Yin said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you before, these jades are all carefully selected by me."

    "You just lied." Shopkeeper Wu didn't believe it: "You are a typical 'beggar who doesn't leave overnight food'. When have you ever had more than three treasures in your hands before?"

    Lao Yin didn¡¯t want to say more: ¡°Ah, just leave it alone and see if you like it first.¡±

    Faced with so many exquisite jades, Shopkeeper Wu didn¡¯t want to compete with Old Yin anymore. He let Feng Zhengsheng and Meng Zitao do it first, and then he picked up one of them and appreciated it carefully.

    After appreciating the jade pieces one by one, Meng Zitao found that most of them were ancient jade from the Song and Ming Dynasties, and they were probably collected deliberately, because their carving styles had some similarities, and this style,  It also gave Meng Zitao some impression, as if he had seen it somewhere.

    "It's really strange. Where have I seen this style?"

    Meng Zitao felt strange and searched through the memories in his mind. He immediately remembered a piece of jade in his pocket, and he had some vague guesses in his heart.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The cabinet didn't want to compete with Lao Yin anymore, so he let Feng Zhengsheng and Meng Zitao take action first, and then he also picked up one of the pieces and began to appreciate it carefully.
