This is actually Lin Mu being fooled by later film and television dramas!
The real imperial seal is actually this big!
If we want to know how big the imperial seal is, there are actually two very direct pieces of evidence!
The first is to look at the real thing, the second is to look at the imprint!
However, since the actual object has long disappeared, no items bearing the imperial seal have been passed down.
Therefore, we can only look for some clues in history!
In the winter of the third year of Shaosheng in the reign of Emperor Zhezong of the Northern Song Dynasty, a man named Duan Yi claimed that he had dug out the imperial seal from the ground in Xianyang!
After layers of discussion, Cai Jing finally came to the conclusion that this was the imperial seal of Qin Shihuang.
Of course, this thing must be fake. It was just that the Song Dynasty wanted to come up with some nonsense!
However, since everyone believes that this thing is real, at the very least, the size of the jade seal should not be too different!
According to records, the size of this jade seal is "four inches in circumference"!
These four words mean that the circumference of the jade seal is four inches. If it is a square, then the side length is one inch.
An inch in the Song Dynasty was shorter than an inch in later generations, at about 3.07 centimeters, which is actually about the same size as a mahjong tile today.
In fact, this is also based on facts. In his book "Han Jiu Yi", the scholar Wei Hong of the Eastern Han Dynasty once said: "Before the Qin Dynasty, gold, jade and silver were used to make square seals."
This means that the jade seals before the Qin Dynasty were basically one inch square!
It’s not as big as a brick as we see in movies and TV shows!
Therefore, the jade seal in Lin Mu's hand obviously corresponds to it!
After a brief moment of doubt, Lin Mu's face showed a fanatical expression!
"This is really the Imperial Seal. I, no, I, hahahaha——"
Thinking of this, Lin Mu couldn't help but burst into laughter!
The laughter immediately startled the napping lookout!
"Baga, who's going crazy?"
The lookout rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked down, and was suddenly shocked!
Because there was clearly an open space on the deck below, and there seemed to be a person standing on that open space!
Oh no, this guy came here to steal something, but he actually stole such a big box?
The lookout had just woken up and his mind was still a little unclear, but he knew that something was lost and he needed to raise the alarm immediately!
I saw him pick up the hammer next to him and hit the bell next to him frantically!
The clear sound of the bells suddenly resounded throughout the entire cargo ship, not only startling the captain and the first mate who were chatting, but also startling the sailors who were resting or playing cards in the cabin!
Although they were somewhat relaxed, they immediately became nervous when they heard the alarm!
You know, this kind of alarm bell cannot be sounded casually. It must mean something big has happened!
So the captain grabbed his hat and put it on his head, asked the first mate to pay attention to the situation on the sea, and he rushed out of the cockpit quickly to see what was going on!
"Ono Shinji, what happened?"
After the captain came out, he immediately yelled at the lookout!
Ono pointed to the deck and shouted,
"Captain, a box of cargo is missing from the ship, and there's also a person there. I wonder who it is?"
At this time, Shinji Ono quickly used the searchlight to shine towards Lin Mu's position, and sure enough, he saw a mysterious man in black standing there!
Not only did he see it, but the captain and many sailors who had already come out also saw it!
The captain took out the pistol from his arms, pointed it at Lin Mu, and shouted loudly,
"Who are you and how did you get up here?"
Lin Mu was wearing a black Mao suit and did not hide his appearance!
This is not land, and Lin Mu has no intention of letting these people on the boat go, so there is no need to hide his identity!
"I, um, no, I am Nighthawk!"
Lin Mu's words were spoken in the language of a chicken in a foot basin!
Although these people were a little confused about the word "朕", they were instantly excited when they heard the two words "Nighthawk" at the end!
Nighthawk!
This is the most terrifying existence in the minds of everyone in the Foot Basin Chicken Club!
In just a few months, Nighthawk had killed all the chickens in Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin!
Now, the name Nighthawk has become famous among the people of Jiaobenji, as it can stop children from crying!
The captain was so frightened that the gun in his hand dropped to the ground. Just as he bent down to pick it up, he saw a foot gently stepping on the pistol.
The captain just squatted down on the ground, kicked his feet forward frantically, and retreated quickly!
The other sailors were so frightened that they ran towards the cabin tremblingly.
Looking at this group of sailors fleeing in panic, Lin Mu didn't care about them!
After all, where can they go on the boat?
With my radar, even if they dig a hole in the ship and crawl in, I can still find them!
"Are you the captain of this ship?"
The captain looked at Lin Mu who was approaching him step by step, and suddenly he felt a damp feeling between his legs. The pungent smell made Lin Mu stop coming closer!
The captain saw that Lin Mu was no longer approaching, so he quickly stood up, knelt on his knees, and knocked his head hard on the ground with a very standard movement, begging,
"I'm a ship captain, but I've never harmed any Chinese people. I'm just a deliveryman. Please, spare me. I have an 80-year-old mother at home and an eight-month-old baby!"
Hearing what the other party said, Lin Mu almost laughed out loud!
It seems that this guy is very familiar with China's classic begging sentences. He can even say such professional words!
Lin Mu sneered and said,
"Let me ask you, are all the goods this time registered?"
The captain was relieved to see that Lin Mu didn't seem to have any intention of killing him, and he quickly said,
"Yes, there are lists for every item!"
Lin Mu took out the imperial seal in his hand and said,
"Check for me, who sent this thing from!"
The captain took one look at the imperial seal and his face immediately turned green. My goodness, how can he check such a small seal?
However, the captain did not dare to waste time and quickly asked someone to bring the list of cargo and prepare to check it!
Lin Mu's eyes suddenly looked towards a cabin below, and the next moment, Lin Mu disappeared on the deck!
