    Meng Zitao asked: "There is no way to find him?"

    Brother Zhuan said honestly: "Mr. Meng, to be honest with you, I can only try my best on this matter. It is obviously unrealistic for you to agree that we must find him in one or two months."

    Meng Zitao said: "Then if you find him as soon as possible, there will always be benefits for you, but accordingly, if you dare to deal with me, then don't blame me for not warning you in advance."

    Brother Zhuan said hurriedly: "Mr. Meng, please be rest assured, I will definitely not deal with you and I will do my best to find him."

    Putting away his phone, Meng Zitao made himself some tea, because his grandparents had gone to take a lunch break, and Wang Zhixuan and Qian Songyuan were also asleep. He felt bored, so he went to the car to get some information.

    Meng Zitao had just closed the car door when he heard someone calling him next to him. When he looked back, he found that it was the old man named Xu Aqing in the village. According to his seniority, he had to call him his cousin.

    After saying hello, Xu Aqing said: "Xiao Tao, I heard that you know how to look at antiques. I have something I want you to help me look at. Is that okay?"

    "Of course, let's talk about it after we go in." Meng Zitao took the old man into the house.

    After Xu Aqing sat down, he took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms, opened it and saw that it was a piece of jade.

    "Xiao Tao, look at when this half-jade tiger came from."

    Meng Zitao recognized it as half a tiger talisman at a glance. Nowadays, tiger talismans also appear in TV movies. I believe everyone should be familiar with it.

    The tiger talisman first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, the copper tiger-shaped tiger talisman was used as a troop transfer voucher issued by the central government to local officials or garrison leaders, which was called the tiger talisman.  There is an inscription on the back of the tiger talisman, which is divided into two halves. The right half is kept in the court, and the left half is issued to the commander-in-chief or local governor. It has always been a special talisman, one for each place. It is impossible to use one military talisman to mobilize at the same time.  For armies in two places, when deploying troops and condemning generals, the two halves need to be tested together to be effective.

    There are many records about tiger talismans. Among them, "Historical Records" records a story. It is said that in 257 BC during the Warring States Period, the Qin State sent troops to besiege Handan, the capital of Zhao State. Lord Zhao Pingyuan asked for help because his wife was the sister of Lord Wei Xinling.  In response to King Wei and Lord Xinling, King Wei sent veteran general Jin Bi to lead an army of 100,000 to rescue Zhao. However, he later feared the power of Qin and ordered the garrison to wait and see.

    In order to rush to the aid of Handan, Prince Xinling Jun Wuji of the Wei State conspired with the King of Wei's wife, Ru Ji, so that Ru Ji stole the tiger talisman from the King of Wei's bedroom, and used the tiger talisman to seize Jin Bi's army, defeat the Qin army, and save the  Zhao State.

    The tiger talisman that Xu Aqing brought was made of rare white jade. It is old and has a calm and natural red color.  The object is made of a round sculpture in the shape of an upright tiger, with a long and thin body and a slightly slumped waist.  The tiger's head stretches forward and its mouth looks like a dragon's mouth, and its tail is upturned.

    In addition, there is an inscription on the back of this object. From the inscription, we know that this is a tiger charm given to the prefect of Shangjun in the Han Dynasty. The location of Shangjun at that time was located in part of the current Sanqin area, and it became a historical term after the Tang Dynasty.

    This half tiger talisman is quite precious. Meng Zitao estimated that the complete tiger talisman should be worth one or two million. Now it is only half of it. Of course, the price will not be half, but even less.  This is always the case in the antique business, and the price of a pair is more than twice as much as a single piece.

    "Xiao Tao, what on earth is this thing?" Xu Aqing asked.

    "This is actually the Tiger Talisman, which was used to mobilize troops in ancient times." Meng Zitao replied.

    Xu Aqing suddenly said: "So this is the Tiger Talisman."

    Meng Zitao said: "Yes, this is the right half of yours. It existed in the imperial court at that time. Your half of the tiger talisman should be from the Western Han Dynasty. It has a history of more than two thousand years."

    "Ah, it's been more than two thousand years. I didn't expect it to be so long." Xu Aqing asked excitedly: "Then how much is it worth?"

    Meng Zitao said truthfully: "Tiger Talismans are generally more valuable in pairs. Although half a piece is valuable, it is much worse than a pair. This half piece is estimated to be only 400,000."

    "Four hundred thousand?!" Xu Aqing's eyes widened, looking incredulous: "Is it really that much?"

    Meng Zitao smiled and said, "How could I lie to you about this?"

    "That's great!" Xu Aqing clapped his hands hard, looking very happy.

    Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Do you want to sell it?"

    "Yes." Xu Aqing nodded repeatedly and said: "As you know, my second child has finally found a partner and wants to get married, but the girl's conditions are very demanding. If I want my original intention, let's forget about such a girl.  But my second child refused, but what can I do? When I saw you coming, it was justThere is no need for such a function.

    After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Hou Yunbin also knew why Meng Zitao went to find Ji Deshun. He was also very surprised to learn that a small tiger charm could be worth one or two million.

    "Teacher Meng, are all antiques of very high value?"

    Meng Zitao shook his head: "This is definitely impossible. Just like our current products, they are divided into ordinary products and luxury goods. The same is true for antiques. There is no comparison between the two."

    Hou Yunbin nodded, and then talked about a recent incident: "The day before yesterday, there was a murder case on a construction site under my name. The deceased was a worker on the construction site. He died on the construction site in the middle of the night. He was injured.  A man was hit in the back of the head and died. He was holding a copper coin in his hand at the time, so everyone speculated whether he had dug the treasure out of the ground, and someone took advantage of the money and killed him."
