Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

After hearing what Zhang Hai said, Wei Wu's expression suddenly became uneasy and he was completely stunned.

A jade seal? The calligraphy on it is in small seal script? And the words "Ming Yu Tian" are written on it?

These pieces of information are nothing special when separated, but when put together, it is more than just shocking!

To be honest, Wei Wu was not sure if it was what he had guessed.

After all, it has been missing for so long that there are even three different theories about its loss.

But if it really is that thing, then the value of this treasure is immeasurable.

After a long while, Wei Wu came back to his senses and turned to look at Zhang Hai and confirmed again:

"Are you sure you're looking at a jade seal with small seal characters and the words 'Ming Yu Tian' on it?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Hai nodded in response, so Wei Wu asked again.

"How big is that seal?"

"About this big."

Zhang Hai used his hands to indicate a size, which was about the same size as the connector of an Apple charger.

Seeing this, Wei Wu lowered his head and remained silent, but his brows slowly frowned.

Later generations know little about the imperial seal and can only make some guesses based on the era, such as its size.

The imperial seal was carved from the Heshi Bi, according to the "Book of Zhou".

The diameter of the wall will not exceed 18 centimeters and the thickness will be about 0.5 centimeters.

Although there were some changes during the Spring and Autumn Period, the thickness was only about one centimeter, which was based on the standards of the ritual system.

Similarly, the seals used in the Qin Dynasty also had specifications, which, converted into later sizes, were about two to three centimeters.

Of course, there are also people who say that the imperial seal was not made of Heshi Bi, but of Lantian jade.

And it has never been passed down, and has been accompanying the First Emperor in the Qin Emperor's tomb.

Either statement is just speculation, and there is no conclusive evidence without documents and physical objects.

To be honest, Wei Wu had no way of confirming that the seal discovered by Zhang Hai was the imperial seal.

But the information he described does match some speculations, so I have to say something at this time.

Since I'm here now, what if it's true?

At the same time, there was another question that puzzled Wei Wu.

Why did the imperial seal appear in the basement where Lu Yao hid his silver, and why was it not discovered for such a long time?

After all, the Lu family is a gentry family, it is impossible that they have no knowledge of this treasure.

With doubts in his heart, Wei Wu asked Zhang Hai again:

"You just said you discovered this seal by accident. Tell me the details of the process."

"Okay, young master, this is what happened just now..."

Then Zhang Hai carefully recounted everything that happened after he entered the tunnel.

Seven minutes ago.

Zhang Hai entered the house just like before, holding Lu Yao in the middle and moving forward in the passage.

Although this tunnel is larger than the previous one, it is only large enough for one person to pass through, but not enough for two people to walk through together.

However, after passing through the passage, the space in the cellar is much larger than that in the residential area, and there are more treasure chests.

Just like before, Zhang Hai immediately selected a few wooden boxes, opened them, and checked the valuables inside.

This time, the box contained not only gold, silver, and jewelry, but also antiques, calligraphy, and paintings.

There was also a red-painted wooden box containing several very exquisite porcelain bottles.

Originally, Zhang Hai just wanted to take a look and had no intention of touching them. After all, these things were too precious.

If anything goes wrong, he might not be able to afford the compensation even if he sacrifices his life.

But at this moment, Lu Yao suddenly picked up one of the bottles and stroked it with reluctance.

"My dear warrior, all the others are given to that gentleman. This is the only bottle I have. Can I take it with me?"

Lu Yao didn't say anything the first two times, and this was the first time he took the initiative to keep something.
