Chapter 254 Plan
Yang Ming also came back with news.
Caiyuanzhuang had indeed experienced an earthquake before, and many people in the surrounding farmers had heard of it. Some of them happened to be visiting Caiyuanzhuang at that time, and they were terrified at the time, but when these people left Caiyuanzhuang and returned to their village, they were shocked. Found that no one noticed here.
Because of this incident, many people came to Caiyuanzhuang to watch the excitement. It was not because of the unanimous opinion and the fact that several old houses in Caiyuanzhuang were shattered, but no one believed it.
An earthquake that only covers a small area? is it possible?
Of course not. So it was definitely not the earthquake that ordinary people wrote about, but there was another reason.
Shen Hao looked at the string of messages he wrote on the paper, thought for a while, and added the words "similar to an earthquake" on it.
If it wasn't an earthquake, then what caused the vegetable garden to vibrate?
According to the time, this "vibration" did not take long before a "person" jumped out of the fish pond. There is an inevitable connection between the two.
"My lord, could it be that something in the cemetery caused the vibration?" Wang Yiming was now thinking along Shen Hao's train of thought, and he felt that the more he deduced, the closer he was to the truth.
Shen Hao also thought about it, but there was too little information to judge.
After thinking for a while, Shen Hao set his eyes on the two bronze utensils on the table, and asked Wang Yiming, "Is there anything to say about this?"
"This subordinate received it from the house of the previous dry goods man. According to that person, these two bronze wares were dug out from the ground of Caiyuanzhuang. And before that, many similar things were dug up. "
"Dig a lot? Then why no one came here to dig?"
"Because this bronze vessel is worthless."
"Huh?" Shen Hao didn't know much about antiques, and thought that old objects dug up from the ground would be valuable, so he wondered why no one came to Caiyuanzhuang to dig deep.
Wang Yiming explained: "The man said that the things dug up from the ground in Caiyuan Manor are old things with no reputation. Antiques are antiques, but they can't be sold at all."
Wang Yiming continued to explain that Shen Hao gradually understood the reason. The so-called "unknown hall" actually means that the things dug up from the vegetable garden have no characteristics, do not belong to the category of "collectible value", and are simply old things. At most, it is accepted to deceive novices who do not know how to do it. So no one bought it, and no one came here to dig deep.
While listening to Wang Yiming, Shen Hao picked up a copper bottle and looked at it.
Very ordinary style, one foot high, very heavy in the hand, carved on the surface, very regular, it looks like some kind of animal pattern.
Xuan Qingwei's black robe also had animal patterns, gluttonous patterns, and the military uniforms of the Jingjiu Dynasty also had animal patterns, but Shen Hao had never seen such animal patterns.
They all have animal patterns, and the style is very similar to the vase style commonly used in the Jingjiu dynasty. At least the aesthetic aspect should be in the same line as the Jing old dynasty.
Shen Hao remembered that Zhang Qian's hobbies besides visiting flower houses were collecting antiques. He was known as an expert, so can he give these two bronze wares to Zhang Qian?
Fortunately, the Black Flag camp was set up right next to the garrison camp, so it was very convenient to find Zhang Qian. But Zhang Qian was curious when he saw that Shen Hao came here not long after they parted, and then laughed when he saw the two bronze utensils in Shen Hao's hand, thinking that Shen Hao had brought something for him.
"Haha, why is Brother Shen so polite?"
"Hey, Big Brother Zhang may have misunderstood. These two items are not for you, but for your help. Find out what the origin of these two bronze vessels is."
Hearing that it wasn't for him, Zhang Qian scolded Shen Hao for teasing him. However, his hands were unambiguous, and he picked up the two bronze utensils and looked at them closely for a long time, then fell silent as if in deep thought.
After a long time, Zhang Qian frowned and said: "It's strange. This bottle is very strange. The style seems to be from my early dynasty, but the pattern is not any known animal pattern. I don't even know if it is an animal pattern. Two words. I didn’t expect that there are ancient relics that I can’t name.”
"Don't you have any idea?"
"Of course not. Look at this one." Zhang Qian put down the copper vase and picked up another copper vessel. It was a solid long strip half a foot long and three fingers wide. Some lines could be vaguely seen on it, but It's rusted so badly that I can't tell what the lines on it are.
"Brother Shen, look, this one is very obvious. This thing is called a sword box, you should have heard of it?"
"Imperial Art?"
"That's right. To be precise, it is a must-have item for Yujianshu. Generally speaking, a sword case can hold ten flying swords, which is a must-have for every friar of Yujianshu. It's just that this style is also the first time for me. See."
"So you think these antiques are related to monks?"
"Affirmative. Hehe, brother Shen, tell me the truth, where did you get these two things? Obviously these are buried with you, you won't dig a big tomb, will you? Can't you forget me, brother?" That being said, Zhang Qian didn't understand why Shen Hao had gained something so soon after he came here? Could it be that the two crake-like guides who just introduced it spit it out?
"Okay, if you want Brother Zhang, just dig it, and it's not far away."
Zhang Qian curled his lips: "It can't be Caiyuanzhuang, right?" Seeing Shen Hao smiling and not saying a word, he knew that he was unlucky, and then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you kid is uneasy and kind. Not ready to go."
After returning from Zhang Qian's place, Shen Hao began to write materials and prepared to report to the governor's office as soon as possible. He now has reason to persuade Jiang Cheng to give Wu Changhe an order to withdraw from the dangerous area and to suspend the charge against the prohibition circle.
Because Shen Hao felt that there might be some unexpected dangers in the restraining circle, especially the kind of "people who jumped out of the pond" was completely unclear, so it might not be appropriate to open the restraining circle so recklessly.
As for those who were involved, in Shen Hao's view, they all escaped death, and there was little difference between one day and one day later. Those who are going to die have long since died, and those who are not dead will not die so soon.
However, just as Shen Hao wrote half of the note, there was a roar outside the camp, as deafening as thunder in a thunderstorm.
"My lord, the front side of the prohibition circle has already started to move."
"What?! Not at night."
"Boom"
Shen Hao's words were interrupted by the second explosion, and his brows frowned into the word Chuan. This should be the loud noise caused by the release of a large number of thunder talismans or running thunder talismans together.
Looking at the half-written note in his hand, Shen Hao sighed.
"Wang Yiming, you follow my pen and write later. The purpose is to make Mr. Jiang order the termination of all actions of Wu Qianhu. Report it immediately after writing."
"My lord, what is this?"
"There are many dangers in the prohibition circle. If you open it rashly now, the result may be unpredictable. You should report a note here to seek Master Jiang's support. I can only talk to Wu Qianhu again and see if he can change his mind." .”
