Chapter 49
"Where did you get this jade ring?" Tan Cheng had seen the jade ring on Su Jingmo's finger. Su Jingmo must have been accustomed to riding horses and shooting arrows all year round, so the jade ring on his finger was worn, but this This piece in the seller's hands is smooth and has no wear marks...
In ancient times, the jade ring finger was also called a jade ring. It was originally a thing used to buckle the string when pulling a bow and shooting arrows. It was a special instrument that was put on the shooter's right thumb to protect the shooter's right thumb from being injured by the bow string. The jade thumb ring of the Shang Dynasty also had the function of bow-drawing and finger protection. It was not only longer than the later ring fingers, but also had grooves on it. By the Warring States Period, it began to become shorter; the ring finger of the Han Dynasty was in the shape of a jade piece, similar to a jade pendant. It has a small hook for pulling the string, but the ring finger at this time can no longer withstand the force of pulling the bow; some ring fingers imitating the Han Dynasty appeared in the Song Dynasty, and their styles are even more diverse, including flaky and short ones. Cylindrical; by the Qing Dynasty, the wrench finger was cylindrical, with one end edge concave inward and one end edge convex forward. Because its material became more rounded and smooth, it became more difficult to use for archery and became a decoration and status. and signs of prevailing trends.
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong was fond of jade finger rings. Those who like to watch TV probably know that, and most of the jade ring rings that everyone is familiar with in modern society are from that period.
Qin Cheng remembered that not long ago, a set of seven boxed Qianlong imperial fast 3 jade rings was estimated to be sold for more than HK$40 million, which shows the great value of jade rings.
The jade ring on Su Jingmo's finger is different from the late Qing Dynasty, which was a symbol of power. Except for the necessary decorations, it is not as round as Emperor Qianlong liked, but is slightly thicker at the top and bottom, with a concave groove in the middle. , which is a design that makes it easier to draw a bow and shoot an arrow. The one in the seller's hand is almost exactly the same as the one in Su Jingmo's hand, but it's not as worn. It seems that the owner of this jade ring is someone who is not good at riding and shooting...
Just because he has the same jade ring as Su Jingmo, his status should be the same as Su Jingmo's. Tan Cheng guessed that at least the owner of this jade ring is also a member of Daxu's royal family.
The middle-aged man who took out the jade ring heard what Tan Cheng said and knew from the bright eyes of Tan Cheng that he must have got a big baby. He put the jade ring away with a happy smile.
"I also got this thing from time to time. The jade is good jade, but at first I thought it was a high-end imitation made by people today. After all, jade thumb rings that are thousands of years old are hard to find, not to mention the pattern and shape of this kind. So exquisite.”
Tan Cheng still agrees with this point. You must know that a hollow jade ring with dragon pattern from the Tang Dynasty was sold for a sky-high price of 400 million in the past. However, this person probably also feels that this jade ring does not have the craftsmanship of any other dynasty. How about taking it out like this?
"Do you know when this was made?" Tan Cheng asked tentatively.
"It should be... from the Tang Dynasty, right? Or from the Northern and Southern Dynasties?"
The middle-aged man was not so sure, because the person who originally transferred this thing to him also couldn't figure out the age of this thing, so he transferred it to him at a low price...
Observing the middle-aged man's expression carefully, Tan Cheng was sure that the man in front of him really didn't know where this thing came from. Then he pretended to be a Taobao shopper and approached the middle-aged man and asked quietly: "Did you get this thing from the 'wood' in 'Tuyapo'?"
Tuyapo and wood mean graves and coffins in the local dialect. As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man quickly shook his head and said, "How dare I do that? It's enough to engage in reselling. It's not like digging up other people's ancestral graves." I don’t have the heart, let alone the courage.”
After hearing so much, Wu Hai naturally guessed that the price of a jade ring was probably that of Daxu, so he simply said: "It's hard for us to talk with people coming and going on the street. How about we find a place to chat?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he couldn't agree. He realized that something was wrong with these two people. I'm afraid they were really those desperate tomb robbers. At this moment, he wanted to kill him, but he regretted taking it out just now, "No, no, no, I still have to do it now." If you want to do business, if you have nothing to do, just give me 2,500, grab the black jade hairpin and leave quickly."
The middle-aged man dismissed the guest without saying anything, fearing that he might mistakenly think that the two of them were tomb robbers... But there were finally some clues. How could Tan Cheng give up? After thinking about it, Tan Cheng simply asked directly without explaining: "You just need to tell me, you probably know."
Middle-aged people are just businessmen who like to collect things, and then sell fake goods to tourists to make money. If they can dig up dead people's things, what are these people not afraid of? I think middle-aged people can only Sighing, he said: "I really don't know. I'm afraid the person who sold me this thing doesn't know it very well. But, I just heard from the brother who sold me the jade ring finger that this thing comes from here." I picked it up at the market, and there are probably some people in our entire Zhanglan Antique Market who are in that field, and it is said that there are treasures over there in Zhongdu Township... I don't know the specifics."
"Zhongdu Township?" Wu Hai heard this and looked at each other with Tan Cheng. It seemed that Tan Cheng's guess was quite accurate. There might really be an ancient tomb in Zhongdu Township.
"Hey, I don't know. I've been to Zhongdu Township and haven't seen any place where treasures can be hidden. I'm afraid it's just a rumor. Okay, okay, that's all I've said. I don't know anything else. If you want to ask, ask someone else.”
I couldn't ask any more questions. After all, tomb robbing itself was a crime... Tan Cheng put the black jade hairpin away, paid the money, and left with Wu Hai.
"Do you want to go looking for the imperial tomb with the tomb robbers?"
"No," Tan Cheng smiled and shook his head, "I was just wondering if I could get some information."
Wu Hai frowned: "It's fine if you don't, if you get caught
Come on, this is no joke... What should we do next? The seller just now said that there might be grave robbers in this antique city. Do you want to go and find them? "
"I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you anything even if I find them. But I can at least be sure that there are indeed those imperial tombs in the Pingyao area, and there are still tomb robbers who have visited them."
Wu Hai looked at Qin Cheng and asked, "Is it that jade ring? Have you seen it in the Ninghua Village Tomb?"
"I've seen it before, exactly the same."
The meaning of these four identical words is quite profound. The Ninghua Village Tomb is an emperor's tomb. Generally, those who can have exactly the same objects as the emperor can only have the same status as the emperor, and it is very likely that they were forged at the same time.
"The ring ring looks brand new. It seems that it has not been worn much." When Wu Hai said this, he said happily: "Except for the favorite things that can be brought to the tomb, that object should be of great significance. You said that the ring ring should be how come?"
Tan Cheng probably had the answer in his mind, "Is the jade ring a symbol of Emperor Daxu?"
Wu Hai nodded, "Speaking of which, the jade ring should have been worn on the finger of the owner of the tomb and buried with him. If you have seen the ring, you must have opened the lid of the coffin, right? What about the owner of the tomb in Ninghua Village? Are the bones still there?”
Wu Hai's words made Qin Cheng stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head with a complex expression and said: "It has been corrupted for a long time... there is nothing left..."
Not noticing anything wrong with Tan Cheng, Wu Hai continued: "That would be a pity. If the bones are still there, it is impossible to say that modern technology can be used to restore the appearance of the tomb owner."
Qin Cheng didn't answer this. Wu Hai saw that Qin Cheng didn't speak and seemed to be in a bad mood. After thinking about it, Wu Hai was silent for a long time before asking: "Qin Cheng, do you think you saw anyone else in that tomb?" of?"
Wu Hai could still tell that Tan Cheng hid a lot of things in his words, but if Tan Cheng didn't tell him, there were some things that were even harder for him to ask.
"It's okay," Qin Cheng said, changing the topic: "Since that person mentioned the Zhongdu Township I mentioned earlier, let's go directly to Zhongdu Township. I'm afraid it's impossible to get any useful information from this place. ”
Tan Cheng looked at Wu Hai and smiled: "It's not that I don't want to say something, it's just that I don't know how to say it. When...when these things are sorted out, you should know it by then."
