Chapter 306 12 gold coin

The cobra is decorated with green copper rust and has red lines wrapped around its body, which makes it look a bit evil.

Just as Fan Wumian was about to put it back into the bag, he saw two coins with "glasses" patterns. They were quite large and looked golden, completely different from the other old copper coins.

"Purple Air Coming from the East" is written on the left, "Blessed by Heaven" is written on the right, and there is also Manchu text on the back.

If he had met him in Panjiayuan, Fan Wumian would never have thought much about it, but this is a port city, and countless good things flowed here in the early years, and they were often sold at sky-high prices at auctions.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the material looked like gold. With the idea of ​​just asking for free, Fan Wumian called Master Tan from the museum.

At that time, the Qianlong shroud was given to Master Tan to be taken to the museum for identification, and the numbers were exchanged with each other.

The phone beeped for more than ten seconds before someone finally answered and asked impatiently:

"Who is it? I'm feeling sleepy in the middle of the day. I just fell asleep and disturbed your sweet dreams. I still have a lot of health supplements at home. Don't buy any!"

Fan Wumian said awkwardly:

"It's me, Fan Wumian, an actor from Hong Kong. Do you have any impression of me, Mr. Tan?"

This time it was Mr. Tan's turn to be embarrassed, and he hurriedly said:
"Oh, oh, oh! Sorry! I thought it was another scammer selling health products and asked me to go get eggs. But every time I went there, they were all gone. Only duck eggs, dishwashing liquid and the like were left."

"Boss Fan is so lucky, it's hard for me to forget. I'm busy selecting the best products in the warehouse and will put them in your special showroom when the time comes."

"The Tuoluo Sutra has been sold at a high price. Do you have anything else to ask me?"

Fan Wumian didn't keep the secret and asked:
"It's like this. I came across two ancient golden coins. I'm a little unsure. I still don't know if they are made of gold. One of them has "Purple Air Coming from the East" written on it, and the other has "Blessed by Heaven" written on it. Did you know that there were such coins in ancient times?"

Mr. Tan answered decisively:

"Of course not. Why would there be a phrase like 'Purple Air Coming from the East' on the money? Wait! No, the money is made of gold? Round on the outside and square on the inside?"

"Yes, round on the outside and square on the inside."

"I think I've seen this kind of thing somewhere before. It's not available on the market. I'm not good at ancient coins. Wait a minute, I'll ask someone else."

Fan Wumian didn’t have to wait long.

Mr. Tan called back more than ten minutes later and said in a hurry:

"There really is such money, used exclusively for royal blessings."

"There should be twelve in total in a set, with words like 'Peace in the World', 'Long-lasting Peace and Governance', 'Government in Order and Harmony', 'Gentle Wind and Sweet Rain', 'Peace and Prosperity in the Country and the People', 'Open and Honest', 'Blessed by Heaven', 'Long and Prosperous Fortune', 'Long Life and Wealth', 'Good Fortune and Health', 'Purple Qi Coming from the East', and 'Long Life' written on them."

"You have two, and they are gold? My friend got anxious when he heard that, and said that it was recorded in ancient books that there was a set of such gold coins in the Old Summer Palace, which were used for feng shui to stabilize the country's destiny."

Fan Wumian was confused.

I wonder if it was an accidental blessing that really took over the dragon vein and increased my fortune, so that wealth came in abundance?
The "Big Jade King" was something he had specially found, but the Qianlong shroud was not one of them. The coin in front of him was also something he happened to find. His luck was really too good.

He said to Mr. Tan via mobile phone:

"I still don't know whether the item is real or not. Should I bring it to you for inspection next time?"

"Okay, okay, you can come over anytime. What about the remaining ten? Where did you find them?"

"I don't know if it was given to me by someone else. I'm in Hong Kong now. Can I try to find it?"

"Right! We must find it if we can. It's only valuable if we put it together as a set!"

Mr. Tan finished speaking.

Suddenly remembering that Fan Wumian had a "criminal record", he sent the Qianlong shroud, which had amazing historical value, directly to the auction house and sold it.

A dry cough.

The old man then added:
"If you find the remaining few, don't sell them this time. Our museum is willing to accept them!"

Placing the cell phone on the dining table, Fan Wumian looked at the cobra woven with copper coins, and decisively found a pair of scissors to cut the red rope.

With this scissor cut, the other copper coins also fell apart and fell on the table with a clinking sound.

He only picked up two gold coins, which felt heavy in his hands, weighing about seventy or eighty grams.

This made Fan Wumian feel rare.

I thought it was just copper before, but now the more I look at it, the more it looks like gold. I wonder how anyone could be so stupid as to not be able to tell the difference?
Then I thought again.

I also feel that if it was the investors of "Sakura Gakuin" who made the move, they would be financially strong and might be willing to spend the money. Even though they knew it was gold coins, they would still dare to bury them in the ground.

After all, if it is not discovered, it can be buried in the corner of Fan Wumian's house and dug out later for temporary use.

Mr. Tan also said that this kind of gold coin was used for feng shui in ancient times, and it was probably similar to the so-called "mountain ghost coins", with other meanings.

Just because it is made of gold, it is more high-end and can be sold at a high price.

If there is a Feng Shui master who uses such an object as a "magic tool", it is obviously more upscale and far more cost-effective than melting it down and selling it at the market price of gold.

Upon learning that these two special gold coins were likely related to the Old Summer Palace, Fan Wumian immediately became excited.

Think about it.

He felt that he had to start with the two Malaysians who were captured and ask them where they got the copper coin cobra. Maybe he could follow the clues and find out the source of the two gold coins.

A few days ago, the two Malaysian workers poured boiling water to death on the pine bonsai in Fan Wumian's yard. As the amount involved was as high as HK$90, they have been formally prosecuted.

As for digging a pit to bury the copper coin snake, it did not involve any legal issues. Fan Wumian had not been concerned about the subsequent progress until this moment, when he started to think about it and called the company's legal advisor to briefly understand the situation.

I learned that the two Malaysians found a very powerful law firm and have been released on bail awaiting the trial. They are prohibited from leaving the country during this period, but there is a risk of them smuggling and absconding.

After learning about the situation, he could no longer sit still and immediately asked his lawyer to find the other party's address, fearing that after the other party left, he would not be able to find any clues about the other gold coins.
--------------

With Fan Wumian's current strength, he has a lot of resources to call upon.

Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Not far from Fan Wumian’s old house, there is a basement divided into subdivided flats where seven or eight Southeast Asian workers live. Some of them sneaked in for the high salaries, while others stayed illegally because their visas expired.

Brothers Chen Mingsen and Chen Mingshun are both of Chinese descent. After arriving in Hong Kong, they worked as dishwashers, restaurant delivery men, porters, etc. During holidays, they often took time out to play minor roles in film crews, hoping to earn more money to return to their hometown to build a house and get married.

A few days ago.

A friend contacted them and gave each of them 2 yuan, asking the brothers to help do something.

Although they knew there were risks, the brothers Chen Mingsen and Chen Mingshun were still tempted. They ran to the mansion at No. 89 in Repulse Bay, and followed the instructions to destroy the feng shui of Fan Wumian's house, but they were caught red-handed.

I originally thought it was just a small matter, but I didn't expect the pine trees that were killed by watering were so valuable.

However, the lawyer contacted them privately and said that each person would be paid 12 yuan for one year in prison, which is equivalent to a monthly salary of 1 yuan.

No matter who asked them afterwards, Chen Mingsen and Chen Mingshun would never mention who had instructed them to do so. They only said that they were upset about Fan Wumian's fame and that was why they had tried to trip him up.

Others would be so scared of going to jail that their legs would tremble, but these two brothers felt like they had encountered a fortune and were already thinking about how they could spend an extra year or two in jail.

12 month 28 number.

Chen Mingsen and Chen Mingshun had just left the massage parlor when they were blocked in an alley by Fan Wumian's bodyguard, Brother Qian, and his men.

The two were a little flustered at first, until they saw Fan Wumian, and then they realized who they had offended.

As the elder brother, Chen Mingsen spoke in a relaxed tone, carefree:
"I don't think you are that person! Hong Kong is a society ruled by law. If you dare to touch us, we will immediately find reporters and scold you to death!"

Fan Wumian asked back:

"Who said I was going to beat you up? It's just a few dead pine trees. I just want to know where you got that copper coin cobra. Someone cast a spell on me. I need to find the source to resolve it."

Chen Mingsen kept silent and just shook his head and said, "I won't tell you."

Dare to stop them, Fan Wumian was of course prepared, throwing out the bait and saying:
"Give me a name and I can drop the lawsuit against you. Then maybe I won't have to spend a single day in jail."

Upon hearing this.

Chen Mingshun, the younger brother, got anxious first and said quickly, "No!"

".no?"

Chen Mingsen glared at his brother and explained, "Everyone has their own responsibility. We won't betray others!"

Fan Wumian was still pondering over the word "no" when he suddenly realized:
"So going to jail will actually benefit you, someone will give you hush money, right? What era is this? I don't believe you will be so chivalrous for such a small case. That's it, if you don't satisfy me, I will withdraw the lawsuit and let you go."

"."

The bodyguard Qian Ge was slacking off all day, and when he had a rare chance to find a sense of existence, he also said viciously:

"Or we can send you guys in. Besides being a little dark-skinned, you're pretty handsome. I guess you'll get a lot of boyfriends."

Chen Mingsen was not intimidated by Brother Qian, but he was worried that he would not be able to go to jail and would not be able to easily get the hush money.

After weighing the pros and cons, I gave him an address near Temple Street.

People in Hong Kong believe in Feng Shui. There is a street near Temple Street where dozens of Feng Shui fortune tellers gather to make a living.

If the business is not so good, the Feng Shui master can only sit on a stool and set up a stall. If the business is good, he can rent a shop to expand and become stronger.

Among them is "Xingyu Hall", which has been in business for sixty or seventy years and occupies three stores.

Worried about accidents.

Right after questioning the two brothers Chen Mingsen and Chen Mingshun, Fan Wumian asked Brother Qian and Pu Jiajing to pretend to be siblings and go to Xingyu Hall to inquire about the situation. He had given them instructions in the car beforehand.

Before getting off the car, Fan Wumian reminded again:

"Don't forget, I just said that I don't like ordinary things and I want to find the most powerful magic weapon to protect my home."

"I see. A gold coin with a round outer edge and a square inner edge, right? I'll remember that."

After Assistant Pu Jiajing finished speaking, he and Brother Qian got out of the car and walked into Xingyu Hall.

It really didn't take much effort.

Inside a set of boxes are eight gold coins, which are regarded as one of the store's treasures and are displayed in the display cabinet of Xingyu Hall.

Pu Jiajing pointed at them and asked the clerk.

The female clerk in cheongsam said nonsense:

"This set of coins is really special. It was stolen by foreigners from an old Taoist temple in Maoshan, and our boss spent millions to buy it back. Last week, we sold one 'Longevity' and one 'Good Luck and Health' for a total of 38 Hong Kong dollars."

Done.

The female clerk also looked at Brother Qian and Pu Jiajing, trying to figure out whether they were the real fat sheep.
