No matter what means it is used, as long as you can get this machine box, Li Yi thinks it is worth it.

He didn't know if the boss saw that he was acting. Anyway, he knew that the boss himself was definitely acting.

Maybe he really wanted to get the machine box back at the beginning, because at that time he didn't believe that the two young tourists could have that much money.

But when Li Yi revealed that he was likely to buy the box because of anger, the boss started acting. Otherwise, how painful would he be to give a long speech to two mainland tourists who didn’t know anything and had no money, and introduced this machine box so detailed and precious?

But this is how the transaction is. Even if the means are used up, the transaction will only be possible when both parties feel that they are not losing money. Otherwise, who can be more stupid than who?

The reason why Li Yi threw out 20 million so happily was because the machine box itself was indeed very precious, and even if it was not worth so much, it was not far away.

More importantly, although the parchment inside was lumped into a ball, he still saw two barely clear handwriting when he looked through. It was these two words that made him determined that even if the boss asked for a higher price, he would pay to buy the machine box.

These two words are "Zhou" and "Yu".

Zhao Kuangyin's Chenqiao mutiny was in a yellow robe, and he robbed the country of the last dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and that dynasty was the Later Zhou Dynasty!

And "Yu" has only one explanation here, that is, it is a respectful title for what the emperor does and uses!

It is precisely based on this clue that Li Yi speculated that this information is likely to be related to this famous event in history.

And if it is really as he guessed, then the value of this parchment is far higher than that of this machine box!

Carefully put the machine box into the backpack and put it in his arms, Li Yi and Lu Ningshuang walked out of the store.

"Hehe, you acted so fake just now!"

Lu Ningshuang pressed against Li Yi tightly and laughed softly in his ear.

"Is that so? I thought I was qualified to win the Golden Horse Actor Award!"

Li Yi deliberately put his cheeks on Lu Ningshuang's mouth and took advantage of it, and then smiled in the girl's angrily anger:

"I understand. You think it's fake, mainly because the person who plays with me is too bad, because the boss's acting is really fake!"

"Ah? He's acting too?"

Li Yi nodded and told his judgment. Lu Ningshuang couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"Is it worth it just for such a broken box?"

"Of course! I ask you, do you know what this box is for?"

Lu Ningshuang glanced at him, a little uncertain.

"It should be a toy like a Rubik's Cube? Or... I don't know either!"

Li Yi shook his head and said:

"In ancient times, this kind of machine box was generally used to store some confidential information, just like a safe today. Judging from the complexity of this machine box, it was definitely the top-notch at that time!"

Smiling confidently, Li Yi continued:

"This machine box is indeed a product of the Song Dynasty, and it was also in the early Song Dynasty. To be precise, it should be a product of several years after the Huangqiao Mutiny of Zhao Kuangyin! This kind of top machine box is used..."

Li Yi leaned into her ear, told her guess just now, and then smiled:

"This machine box is not as difficult to open as the boss said. The words engraved on the box are not meaningless. This is actually a game of guessing words or sentences. As long as you find the correct order, you can open the box. The prompt is mostly related to the content of the information inside."

Lu Ningshuang's eyes lit up.

"In other words, you guess the information here is related to the Huangqiao Mutiny and the emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty. So, just arrange and combine these Chinese characters according to these two clues, and you will likely get the correct password?"

Li Yi nodded. Although there are more possibilities, the general direction should not be wrong. What's more, he had not had time to look closely. If he had time, even if the parchment ball was wrinkled, he should be able to recognize a few more words.

"Then let's try it when we go back later. Haha, history will be rewritten because of the box that I opened..."

Li Yi didn't know whether history would be rewritten because Lu Ningshuang opened the box. But he knew that many times, he really couldn't judge based on hearsay or some online information.

On the Internet, whenever you mention the antique market in Taipei and when you mention the Sanpu, you will inevitably add a sentence: fakes are rampant, and there will be no real guys.

However, those people thought they were kind-hearted to warn future generations, but they did not expect that their actions caused great misleading to later generations!

Because, in this second antique store next to the furniture store, Li Yi found another treasure, and the boss was openly placed in the most conspicuous place, but its price was based on a fake!

This is a jade-white imperial seal, about the size of half a book.

The upper part of the jade seal is a lifelike five-clawed white dragon, and the lower part is a square seal platform. A layer of gold foil with complex patterns is also wrapped around the seal platform, and the bottom of the seal is engraved with the six-character seal text "King Wu of Zhou, Emperor Seal".

At first glance, this jade seal looks like the best white mutton fat jade, but when you look closely, and the feeling after getting started, you may be able to recognize it if you have a little research on jade. This should be a fake carved from a special hard plastic block.

However, magic is magic here, because almost everyone would not have thought that this was just a trick, and the real jade seal was actually right in front of them!

When Li Yi became suspicious of this jade seal that was not as good as the size but made in a vivid way. After activating the spirit-recognizing card, his perspective eye told him that there was a real jade seal that was two circles hidden in this plastic fake jade seal, but almost the same appearance!

Li Yi knew the origin of this jade seal.

King Wu of Zhou was the self-proclaimed by the empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. According to records, she once had such a jade seal, but it was lost later.

Qianlong respected Wu Zetian very much and loved the collection of jadeware. So for the sake of playing, the craftsmen in the palace used the best mutton fat white jade to make an exact "fake" based on the pictures and texts passed down!

Now, this exact counterfeit was whimsically poured into a thick layer of plastic shell, and then a real counterfeit was carved on this layer of plastic shell!

How many square jade seals were made in Qianlong's life, it is unknown now.

However, according to the rough estimate of "Qianlong's Treasure Sousu" and the treasures in his collection, some experts said that Qianlong carved more than 1,800 cubic meters of various treasure seals in his life. This number is probably unprecedented!

In terms of texture, Qianlong's seals are also diverse, including traditional materials such as copper, jade, stone, crystal, agate, ivory, bamboo, beeswax, clarified mud, etc. Of course, the common seal stones and jades account for the vast majority.

Among them, the proportion of jade seals is significantly larger, and there are also many types of jade, including jade, green and white jade, green jade, ink jade, Han jade, etc., with a total volume of more than 600 cubic meters.

Although there are many jade seals, their preciousness is very different, because a person does not have so much energy to enjoy.

Therefore, in addition to the public seals used for memorials and memorials, Qianlong often used his calligraphy and painting works and collections, only a dozen private seals were totally more than a dozen. Most of the remaining ones were products of his whim. They often abandoned them after playing with them for a while, and even he didn't even remember that he had such a treasure seal.

But this "King Wu of Zhou, Emperor Seal" is different because it is one of the more than ten commonly used collection private seals!

After carefully studying the large plastic seal on his hand, Li Yi had to admit that this idea was really wonderful. Even if someone knew that he had the Qianlong jade seal on his hand before, as long as he had never seen it, he would be misled.

"Boss, how long have you kept this jade seal?"

The boss glanced at him and laughed twice.

"This jade seal has not been in my store for a long time, but I know some of its origins. This was brought by people who smuggled from the mainland in the 1970s. Later, it should have been circulated because of difficult life or other reasons..."

Li Yi suddenly realized that if he said this, he would be able to match it. After all, in that era of the four olds, any antiques might be damaged, and in order to protect it, adding this protective film was really a good idea.

As for why it was circulated later and was sold here as a fake, Li Yi guessed that the person who knew the secret had passed away, but due to some accident, the secret of the seal in the seal was not passed down!

And in the end, there was only one beneficiary for this series of accidental events. Obviously, it was him again this time!

After simply talking to the boss about the price, Li Yi bought the precious jade seal for only NT$20,000.

Lu Ningshuang has been following him for a while and knows that he will never make any moves, so as soon as he walks out of the store, he twists his fingers and asks:

"What's the story of this plastic chapter? Do you know his previous master?"

Li Yi was stunned for a moment before reacting, and couldn't help but secretly like this girl's super-strong imagination.

"They smuggled in the 1970s..."

"Ohhhhh, is it someone your parents know about their family?"

Li Yi suddenly felt amused and crying. Why are you twisting this and not letting go?

Let me tell you, this is a big rice dumpling. The outer layer of plastic is the rice dumpling skin. The filling inside is not delicious and does not stop hunger. However, it represents the wish of Lao Guo. If you eat it, your baby will be prosperous!
