    Luo shook his head calmly: "No, after my grandfather's piece was lost, he also thought about finding another one, but he never did it. Later, he also conducted investigations in this area. This was because the jade essence was fragile.  Only some with outstanding quality will be passed down. On the other hand, as time goes by, the color of the jade essence changes, making everyone think it is Khotan jade. In addition, the jade mine is mined out, and it slowly disappears.  It¡¯s in everyone¡¯s sight.¡±

    Cheng Qiheng said: "That means there are still jade spirits among the people?"

    Luo said calmly: "It should exist, but it must be quite rare. You can only rely on luck to find it."

    Meng Zitao nodded, and then said: "Master Luo, could you please tell me how your grandfather lost the jade essence?"

    "Hey, this is the real-life story of the farmer and the snake." Luo sighed calmly and began to tell the story slowly.

    It turned out that the jade essence was stolen by a man named Li Sicun. This man had served in the army. After he was discharged from the army, he was assigned to work as a worker in a local state-owned factory. Because he was hardworking and smart, he learned skills quickly.  Within a year or two, he became the technical backbone of the factory, and his salary was very considerable.

    Unexpectedly, Li Sicun made the wrong friends and became addicted to gambling. As time went by, he squandered all his monthly salary, and he also borrowed almost all the people in his circle of friends.  With no money to borrow, Li Sicun took a jade at home to Luo Danran's public pawn shop, and fabricated a lie, saying that his father was ill and needed money urgently, so he wanted to borrow money to treat his father's illness.

    Grandpa Luo Danran was a warm-hearted person. After hearing Li Sicun's words, he was immediately moved by his filial piety. Not only did he recognize Li Sicun as his little brother, he also lent him 40,000 yuan in cash, plus 10,000 yuan as a pledge of jade, and told him to give his father's  The disease is good.

    In the first few months, Li Sicun would contact Luo Danran's grandfather on the phone and tell him that he would be able to repay the loan immediately, but later he lost contact. After realizing that he had been cheated, Luo Danran's grandfather found Li Sicun's work unit and inquired about it.  Only then did I know that Li Sicun had taken a long leave.

    After painstaking inquiries and tracking, Grandpa Luo Danran finally found Li Sicun. At this time, Li Sicun, who could not hide, immediately cried and complained that he wanted to make money to repay the money, but he did not expect that he was getting deeper and deeper. Now he is unable to repay the debt. Grandpa Luo Danran is willing to help Luo Danran  I work in the store to pay back the money.

    The matter has come to this, and now Luo Danran¡¯s grandfather is soft-hearted. After taking him back, he arranges for Li Sicun to work in his store. Li Sicun also diligently helps Luo Danran¡¯s grandfather with the business of the store every day.  More than a year passed in the blink of an eye. Seeing that Li Sicun had returned from his lost track, Grandpa Luo Danran was very happy and told Li Sicun that he did not need to pay back the money he owed, as long as he took the right path.  What I didn't expect was that he was "leading a thief into the house."

    Li Sicun¡¯s nature is hard to change, so he secretly started gambling again, and finally lost his mind. Not only did he lose all his belongings, he also owed 150,000 yuan.  The money must not be enough, otherwise it would be a life-threatening matter, so Li Sicun beat Grandpa Luo Danran's things, and finally stole more than a dozen pieces of antique jewelry, including the jade essence, and immediately gave the things to  Sold.

    Luo Danran said this with anger on his face: "So, unless gamblers have great perseverance, there is no possibility of returning from their lost ways!"

    Meng Zitao said: "Do you know who you sold that thing to?"

    Luo said calmly: "Li Sicun said he didn't know. He only looked at money and not people when selling things. What's even more annoying is that at that time, he only sold more than 500,000 worth of things worth several million. It's so stupid.  What a problem!¡±

    Meng Zitao felt that there seemed to be something wrong with it: "No way, didn't he work in your grandfather's shop for a year? Doesn't he understand the value of things? No matter how stupid he is, he would never buy it at such a cheap price.  Sell ??your stuff.¡±

    Luo said calmly: "He said that he was eager to take action and sold the things hastily. To be honest, I don't believe it either, but the police couldn't find where he hid the money, so that's all."

    Meng Zitao said: "Master Luo, can you give me his information, and I will ask someone to investigate."

    Luo Danran wished for this, and nodded quickly: "No problem, but I don't have his photo in my hand."

    Meng Zitao smiled: "It doesn't matter, I can check it."

    "good."

    Luo Danran wrote down some information about Li Sicun, and said with some embarrassment: "I only know this superficial information."

    "That's enough. I can find the others." Meng Zitao took the paper, looked at it, and then put it away.

    After Luo Luo left calmly, Cheng Qiheng asked: "Zitao, is this jade spirit very important to you?"

    Meng Zitao said: "It is not necessary to ask forp;Originally, everyone thought that Meng Zitao, who was carrying something in his hand, would be no match for him. However, the result was beyond everyone's expectations. As soon as Meng Zitao retreated and swept, the man flew out and fell heavily to the ground.  .

    This result made everyone stunned, so they turned into a big man with a fierce look and said: "Boy, you dare to do it! I tell you, you are in big trouble!"

    Meng Zitao glanced at him indifferently: "Okay, don't talk nonsense. If you want to fight, fight. If not, go back and tell your boss that I am Meng Zitao from Jushang Pavilion. He is welcome to come to me!"

    When the big man learned that this perverted young man was Meng Zitao, he immediately put back his words and forced a smile on his face: "It turns out to be shopkeeper Meng, we are Boss Shi's people, trouble"

    Meng Zitao interrupted him directly: "Then you ask Boss Shi to come to me. Remember, I am going to the capital in the next two days. I will not wait until the deadline!"

    After saying that, he greeted the young man and left.

    "Brother Zhong, let's forget it?" He was very reluctant to have his yellow hair left.

    "Otherwise, what else can you do? If you are not afraid of death, go and provoke Meng Zitao!"

    The big man was already upset. After hearing what he said, he immediately gave him a good lesson. He looked at the people on the ground, but they were only slightly injured. He left without saying anything. As he walked, he muttered: "It's really bad luck.  How could we meet such a evil star like him!"

    Yu Xingyan and Mr. Fang had been waiting in the store for a long time. When they saw Meng Zitao leading the young man into the reception room, they couldn't wait to get up and greet him.

    After a while of greetings, Yu Xingyan looked at the young man and said, "What's going on with this little brother? He's so disgraced."

    Meng Zitao laughed and told what happened just now without hiding anything.

    Yu Xingyan had no interest in the boy's family affairs at all, but when he heard the Damascus knife's performance, it was almost like the situation he saw in Ding kiln yesterday, and he kept urging the boy to take out the knife.

    When he arrived at the antique shop, the young man knew that his knife might not be saved, but for him, as long as the price was right, it would not hurt to exchange it for money, and the money was even more substantial. After all, it is better to have two birds in the forest than one in the hand.

    Opening the box, an exquisite Damascus scimitar appeared in front of everyone.

    As mentioned before, real Damascus scimitars are quite rare nowadays, so everyone is full of expectations for them, and the real thing does not disappoint everyone.

    "This leader seems to be a Huntustan worker!" Mr. Fang exclaimed.

    Meng Zitao nodded, he had already discovered it.

    During the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods of the Qing Dynasty, local officials and tribal leaders in the Western Regions paid tribute to upright officials with a large number of Japanese-style jades, which were called "Hundustan Jade" at the time.  The characteristic of Hendustan jade is that jade craftsmen like to use pure-color jade for carving, that is, one object has one color, especially white jade or green-white jade, which is transparent and crystal clear.  This is in sharp contrast to the jade skin or variegated jade carvings of traditional Chinese jade.

    At present, there are two types of Dostan jade we have seen hidden in the Qing Palace. One was imported at that time, and the other was imitated by craftsmen in the palace, which is called "Xifan Zuo".  The decorative style of Traceustan jade was favored by Emperor Qianlong due to its superb attainment, unique craftsmanship, and exotic appeal. Imitation was once popular in the inner court. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the Ministry of Internal Affairs set up a workshop specifically to imitate Traceustan jade. Sioux City  Zhuanzhufang also has imitations.

    The head of this product is a Dostan-style decoration with original work marks. It adopts inlay technology and has a strong exotic atmosphere. The overall casting is excellent, gorgeous and eye-catching, and extremely rare.  The handle of the scimitar is in the shape of a horse's head, with erect ears and round eyes. The eyes are inlaid with diamonds, making it luxurious and wealthy.  There is a hole in the handle, and a steel blade is inserted into it. The back of the knife is decorated with gold, which is gorgeous and colorful.

    The body of the blade is made of "hundred-forged steel" formed by multiple forgings. The layers are like water ripples, with clear intervals and obvious patterns. The blade is extremely sharp, light and translucent. It has been rust-free and corrosion-free for hundreds of years, which shows its excellent quality.

    This knife is completely in the artistic style of Sifan. With the unique shape of the ceremonial knife, it is quite precious in modern times when real Damascus scimitars are rare. It can be regarded as a rare art treasure.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
