Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 646 The Truth Gradually Unveiled

Miko Tsuda still hasn't given up.

In order to continue living, she was unwilling to let go of any opportunity, and in the end, she could not resist and once again tempted Ye Shaohong.

"hehe!"

"I remember telling you before that you are too cunning and treacherous, and I don't trust you."

"So you'd better stop having these wishful thinking ideas."

"Believe me, you don't need to say a word. Give me some time, and I can uncover the secrets hidden within you."

Ye Shaohong gave a cold laugh.

He rejected Tsuda Mikoko's offer of a deal once again, and then, with a wave of his hand, the interrogation staff ignored Tsuda Mikoko's struggles and resistance, dragging her back into the depths of the cell.

"Find out my secret?"

"You have no chance."

"You don't have much time left. You'll regret it, you'll regret it..."

Miko Tsuda's shouts gradually faded and eventually disappeared.

At the same time, Ye Shaohong also stood up.

"Humph!"

"Stupid woman..."

After getting up, Ye Shaohong straightened his clothes slightly and walked out of the interrogation room on his own.

As he returned to the office building, he frowned, pondering the information he had just acquired. Judging from the change in Tsuda Mikoko's expression, she had clearly thought of something and guessed something.

Does that mean that Commander Zhou and his wife have gradually walked into the trap he set?

But what does this have to do with antiques?

The Great Western King's Treasure is rich in artifacts and priceless, but according to Ye Shaohong's knowledge, it never came to light until the end of the War of Resistance against Japan.

No more collections have been released.

It's impossible that Commander Zhou and his wife just randomly picked an antique shop and happened to discover the treasures of the Great Western King.

That's unrealistic.

With these questions in mind, Ye Shaohong returned to his office.

He composed himself and began to attend to official business.

It wasn't until nearly lunchtime that Chi Tiecheng returned and knocked on Ye Shaohong's office door. "Station Chief."

"I've asked all the questions you asked me to ask."

"According to the owner of the antique shop, Commander Zhou and his wife purchased a total of four collectibles from their shop today."

"These are a Yuan blue and white meiping vase with intertwined floral patterns, a Ming Xuande blue and white flat flask with white dragon and sea patterns, a Ming blue and white double-eared moon vase with eight auspicious symbols, and a Qing Qianlong famille rose gourd-shaped vase with the design of longevity symbols!"

"In addition to these four precious porcelain pieces, Commander Zhou and his wife also purchased a late Qing Dynasty mutton-fat jade pendant and two Ming Yongle ten-cash coins!"

Chi Tiecheng couldn't remember the tongue-twisting names of these antique porcelains, so he made a point of writing down everything he had learned during the interrogation.

In front of Ye Shaohong, he read from the script and gave his report point by point.

"Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties?"

"Commander Zhou bought all the items from the third generation in one go."

"But what kind of mess is this? There's absolutely no consistency!"

“Yuan and Ming blue and white porcelain is extremely precious. Given Commander Zhou’s status, the antique shop owner probably wouldn’t dare to sell him fakes. But what does that have to do with his purpose?”

"There are also Qing Dynasty Qianlong period famille rose porcelain, mutton fat white jade pendant, and Yongle period ten-cash coins."

"There's nothing special about this!"

When Ye Shaohong transmigrated and merged with this body, the family background was extremely distinguished, so he learned to appreciate antiques and fine objects from a young age.

I have some knowledge about antiques.

For example, Ye Shaohong knew very well the preciousness of Yuan blue and white porcelain. The Ming dynasty's imitations of Yuan blue and white porcelain differed significantly from those of the Yuan dynasty because the imported blue pigment had been exhausted. He also knew that Emperor Qianlong of the Qing dynasty favored luxury, resulting in porcelain from his reign being characterized by its complex styles and heavy colors.

Mutton fat jade is the finest type of Hetian jade.

The Yongle large coin is a type of large coin associated with five emperors in the antique world.

These five emperors are the Banliang coin minted in the Qin Dynasty, the Wuzhu coin in the Han Dynasty, the Kaiyuan Tongbao coin in the Tang Dynasty, the Songyuan Tongbao coin in the Song Dynasty, and the Yongle Tongbao coin in the Ming Dynasty.

As for the Shunzhi Tongbao, Kangxi Tongbao, Yongzheng Tongbao, Qianlong Tongbao and Jiaqing Tongbao that are widely circulated among the people.

They can only be called the Small Five Emperors Coins.

But all of this has nothing to do with Tsuda Mikoko.

"Iron City!"

"Besides purchasing these antiques, what else did Commander Zhou and his men talk about with the antique shop owner?"

"Have you asked clearly?"

After a moment of contemplation and the fragmented clues, Ye Shaohong did not give up. He thought for a moment and asked again.

"I've found out."

“They talked a lot, and I had the antique shop owner recall it carefully, and he has compiled it all.”

"Station manager, you should take a look yourself."

Perhaps because the antique shop owner had provided too much information, Chi Tiecheng was unable to summarize and integrate it into a report in a short time. Therefore, he directly handed the written statement to Ye Shaohong.

Ye Shaohong took the bloodstained confession and patiently examined it carefully from beginning to end.

A moment later, his gaze fell on a line of text.

"what?"

"found it!"

What did Ye Shaohong see?

In the bloodstained confession, he saw Commander Zhou and the antique shop owner discussing the Great Western King's treasure in what seemed like casual conversation.

They talked about the reward money given by the King of the West for meritorious service.

They also discussed the materials used for the Xiwang Reward Coins, which were categorized into four main types: gold, silver, copper, and iron.

Then, as if on a whim, they started talking about the possible hidden locations of the Great Western King's treasure.

The owner of that antique shop was quite a remarkable person.

Perhaps he wanted to show off in front of Commander Zhou. When questioned by Commander Zhou and his wife, he told them everything he knew about the secrets of the Great Western King's treasure.

He mentioned the preciousness and rarity of the Xi Wang Shang Gong coins, and the origin of the Xi Wang Shang Gong coins that were gradually discovered in Sichuan Province starting from the end of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty.

The value of this item was also mentioned.

Finally, the antique shop owner also mentioned the precious items in the Great Western King's treasure. These included the Great Western King's privately engraved gold seal of the Grand Marshal, the gold book of the Great Western regime, and gold and silver ingots engraved with the Great Western state name and era name.

According to the antique shop owner's guess, if the location of the Great Western King's treasure could be found and it could be completely extracted, its value, even if it couldn't reach the level described in the ballad, would probably be enough to buy the entire capital city.

correct.

At the very end of this blood-stained statement, Ye Shaohong made a surprising discovery.

The owner of the antique shop recalled an incident.

He said that more than a decade ago, someone used traditional folk songs and a "treasure map" to dig up a small batch of coins from the Da Xi regime in the Jinjiang River in Sichuan.

It caused a sensation at the time.

Seeing this, Ye Shaohong smiled with satisfaction. This time, he had not only accomplished his plan.

At the same time, he also roughly guessed what information George possessed.

Is it a treasure map for the Great Western King's treasure?

If that were the case, it would indeed tempt the Chen and Kong families, two of the four great families of the Republic of China, and would also make the Japanese devils secretly covet it...

Things are getting more and more interesting!
