Chapter 185 Officials
No wonder Xiao Si was surprised.
People of this era have been listening to storytellers since childhood, and the stories often mention something called the "Golden Medal of Immunity from Death"!
But in fact, there has never been such a thing as a "golden medal of immunity from death" in all dynasties.
Yes, it has never happened before, and it may subvert everyone’s cognition, but this is the truth.
Historically, the highest physical reward was that thick, curved, square piece of iron! (Princes and dukes of counties and kingdoms were considered noble titles.)
"Red Book and Iron Certificate" is a certificate of privilege that actually appeared in history.
This thing was actually first invented by Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang.
A group of heroes from the grassroots fought their way through mountains of blood and seas of corpses to build up such a great empire. In order to reward the meritorious officials, he specially issued nine red-lettered iron certificates.
"You are spared nine deaths, and your descendants are spared three deaths!"
"Corruption, abuse of power, and plunder will all be pardoned!"
There is only one thing, which is not written in the text, but if you violate it, even the imperial seal and iron certificate cannot save your life!
Although the right to interpret this kind of thing lies in the hands of the emperor, it could indeed run rampant in the past.
Moreover, there are very few left in the world!
This is understandable. After all, not many of these things are produced, and even fewer can survive the passage of time.
In later generations, only one "Qian Family Red-lettered Iron Certificate" was preserved.
It’s the only one, so you can imagine how valuable it is!
Chen Liangzi was a man who knew his limits. After he recognized the thing, he immediately realized that it was not something he could touch.
The old eunuch's aura was truly terrifying, although Chen Liangzi really didn't believe that the old man with his old bones could stop these young people.
But if a commotion occurs and alarms other people in the house, or even other neighbors in the alley, it would be more trouble than it’s worth.
So after thinking about it, Chen Liangzi decided to get out of this situation first before dealing with other matters.
We got a lot of fun stuff tonight.
After taking a break here, Chen Liangzi and the others were worried that the night would be long and might bring more trouble, so they quickly wrapped up the goodies they had "picked" and ran back to their small courtyard.
Several people locked the door, gathered in the house and lit the lights.
"How's it going? How's the harvest?"
Although Chen Liangzi still felt a little sorry for the red-lettered iron certificate, returning safely was a great achievement, so he was in a good mood.
After looking at the boys gathered around the table.
He first took out the treasures hidden in his arms one by one and placed them on the table.
There are more than ten items displayed in a dazzling array. Although these items are not big in size, they are all fine products!
Two lustrous jade rings, one blue and one white, were placed in the middle of the table, with a long string of blue jade court beads next to them.
Green jade beads are almost the highest standard except for the oriental beads used by the emperor and empress.
This shows how high the status and position of this family is!
Chen Liangzi and his friends only had a vague understanding of these things. They could see that the quality was excellent, but they could not see through the true value.
As a round bead the size of a pigeon egg appeared, Xiao Si and the others around it breathed harder.
Night-shining pearls, night-shining pearls of this quality!!
It was really terrifying. Xiao Si was so dazed that he couldn't help but reach out to take it.
Chen Liangzi clapped his paws to start the class, and the crisp sound brought everyone back to their senses.
"Brother, you're amazing! I'm totally convinced!"
Xiao Si was full of admiration and couldn't help but bow to Chen Liangzi.
Chen Liangzi chuckled and didn't bother to joke with him. He just took out the remaining small things in his arms.
Except for a dark and heavy "Iron Maitreya" statue, the rest are all small jade pendants.
With Chen Liangzi's example in mind, the things Xiao Si and the others found were not so amazing.
Various small jade jewellery and even a few calligraphy and paintings.
All in all, there are about thirty items.
Chen Liangzi looked at the table full of rare treasures and thought to himself that he had finally given an explanation to Young Master Ning.
…………
The next morning, Chen Liangzi took a few of his men and carried two large bags and went straight to Ningyuan's two-courtyard house.
These two bags were naturally their harvest from last night.
To be honest, these things can be put into a bag.
But Chen Liangzi was a more meticulous person, and he stuffed the two bundles full of cotton as filling.
After all, they are extremely precious jades. It would be very annoying if they were bumped or scratched.
Ning Yuan and the others also got up early to clean up and cook.
But they didn't expect that someone would come to their door so early in the morning before they had even had their meal.
When Ning Yuan saw that it was Chen Liangzi and his friends who came into the yard, he immediately asked them to go into the house and drink some hot water first.
When the two bundles were completely unfolded and revealed in front of Ning Yuan, his performance was even worse than Chen Liangzi and the others.
There was nothing he could do, because he was as stunned as if a thunder had exploded in his head.
The more you know, the more you will understand reverence!
It is not an exaggeration to call many of the items here national treasures.
The pigeon egg-sized night pearl was almost as big as the one in the mouth of the old Buddha's corpse.
Those two rings, green jade court beads, and a complete set of nine dragon jade pendants are all imperial court artifacts!
The other types of jade pendants are also made of top-grade jade and carved by famous masters with profound skills!
Oh my god, Ning Yuan’s wallet is probably going to be bursting now.
Ning Yuan, who was always quite calm in front of others, was so emotional that he patted Chen Liangzi's shoulder hard.
"Liangzi, you're really good! These are all really good stuff. They must be priced sky-high. I'll sell them slowly. Don't worry about the money, I'll give it to you in batches!"
After several previous transactions, Ning Yuan had a standard price range in his mind for these items.
Chen Liangzi was even more agitated by Ning Yuan's impolite actions and words. What was the point of talking about money?
"Master Ning, what you said is really a slap in my face! You were the one who pointed out the place, so we just went there for the convenience of our convenience! Just take your time, we still have money on hand, there's no need to rush!"
"Okay, that's quite frank. I won't say anything hypocritical. Let's have lunch together at noon!"
Ning Yuan patted Chen Liangzi's shoulder again and spoke directly.
Chen Liangzi was flattered and nodded in agreement immediately.
"By the way, Master Ning, we left a treasure at that family's house last night!"
Chen Liangzi was obsessed with this thing and couldn't help but tell Ning Yuan directly.
Ning Yuan's emotions had already been aroused by the two large bags of priceless treasures, and now when he heard that there were even better things, he hurriedly asked.
"What baby?"
