Chapter 22

Perhaps it was the good luck brought by the child. In July, when Wang Wenwu was buying fish in Beihe, he saw a fisherman catching a big fish weighing more than 40 kilograms in Beihe. He carried the fish to the shore and cut it into pieces.

Small pieces were sold for retail. When Wang Wenwu was waiting for him to cut it, he found something as hard as iron in the belly of the fish. After rinsing it clean and looking carefully, it turned out to be a small square seal that looked like jade but not jade.

Wang Wenwu said: "Look, what kind of seal is it?"

Fisherman: "You are making things difficult for me. If I were literate, I would still be selling fish here!"

"If you believe me, I will help you take a look."

"Please!"

Wang Wenwu took it and saw "Qi Jiguang Seal" engraved on the small seal in inscriptions in seal script.

"Hey, this is Qi Jiguang's seal."

"Is that worth anything?"

"You want to sell!"

"It's useless for me to take this seal. It depends on what you want. How about you give me a price?"

"Then I won't be polite, but let's make an agreement first. After I buy it, it has nothing to do with you how much I sell it for."

"Look what you said, I know that I can't sell this thing at a high price."

"One piece of ocean, what do you think?"

"Okay, a piece of ocean is yours." The fisherman said happily:

Wang Wenwu took out a piece of ocean and handed it to the fishermen, and received a small square seal. When he went to Liulichang, it was confirmed that the square seal was Qi Jiguang's private seal.

Wang Wenwu went home and showed off the small square seal to Aiqin and Chunni.

"Look, I don't usually go out to buy groceries, but this time I went shopping and bought good things. How about it."

"Hey, you bought something good, let us see it quickly."

"Yes, what good things did you buy? Why didn't you see it? You went to buy vegetables. Where are the vegetables?" Chunni followed up and said:

"Ah, ah, food, let's have noodles tonight!"

"Okay, I must be buying something good. I was so excited that I forgot about it."

"I'll go to the alley entrance to buy some."

"No, it's up to me to make up for it!"

"Master, you haven't said what good thing you bought!"

"Yes, yes, yes, let me show you!"

Wang Wenwu took out Qi Jiguang's seal from the cloth bag he bought from Liulichang to protect the seal.

After seeing it, Chunni said: "Master, isn't this just a seal? How can it be a good thing?"

Aiqin also looked at Wang Wenwu with a puzzled look.

"Let me tell you this, whether a seal is worth money or not depends on the material it is made of."

"Then what kind of material is this seal made of? Is it worth a lot of money?"

"I haven't finished speaking yet, listen!"

"Chunni, I haven't even finished speaking yet, so what can I say?" Aiqin said:

"Oh~!"

"A new seal naturally depends on what it is made of, but this is an old seal, so it also depends on who used it."

Chunni looked at Wang Wenwu and said nothing. She was obviously afraid that if she was criticized again, Chunni would not be able to support her. Wang Wenwu looked at Aiqin, and Aiqin immediately understood.

"Sir, who used this?"

"Here, come on," "Look, this seal says Qi Jiguang's seal, so it belongs to Qi Jiguang."

Neither Aiqin nor Chunni knew about Qi Jiguang, and were waiting for Wang Wenwu to introduce him. Seeing that neither of them spoke, Wang Wenwu knew that no one would support him.

"This Qi Jiguang is a famous anti-Japanese general in the Ming Dynasty, a national hero, an outstanding military strategist, a calligrapher, a poet, the commander-in-chief of Jizhou, the commander-in-chief of the left, and the first grade of Jia Shaobao. Do you understand?"

"The original official's seal, how old is this genuine official?"

"The first rank is the highest level of official rank. You must know that in the former Qing Dynasty, the governor was only in the first rank. Qi Jiguang was not only a high official, but also famous!"

Chuni quickly asked: "How much is the seal of a famous official like him worth?"

"Is it a question of how much it's worth? This is something that can be used as a family heirloom."

Chun Ni said: "Can this thing be passed down from generation to generation?"

"Why not? It's valuable, but it won't make people jealous. How about it?"

Aiqin said: "I said this thing is really good. How much did it cost?"

Wang Wenwu stretched out a finger and said: "One piece of ocean is just one piece of ocean."

"Then how much do you think this seal can be sold for?"

"I bought it and immediately went to Liulichang. It was confirmed that it was true. The boss then offered a price of 400 yuan on the spot. He still made money!"

Chuni said: "Ah, Master, this seal is so valuable."

"Well, it's getting late. We won't be cooking today. I'll take you out to eat."

Chuni said excitedly: "Okay, okay, okay, sir, let's go eat duck."

"Aegean, what do you want to eat?"

"Master, I listen to you."

"Okay, eat the duck and let's go!"

Call on the newly hired Sister Zhou, Mr. Zhao and his grandson. Sister Zhou is from an alley near Mr. Zhao’s house and was introduced by Mr. Zhao.

The group of people marched toward the roast duck restaurant.

In the next few days, several groups of people came to ask if the seal was for sale. The background was getting bigger and bigger. At this time, Wang Wenwu felt that Qi Jiguang's seal could not be saved. He was not afraid of thieves stealing it, but he was worried that thieves would care about it. There were quite a few people who cared about it.

.

One day when Wang Wenwu was returning home from work, he was taken to a dead end by three people. Without saying anything, they punched him first. It was Lian Jiazi. The pain made Wang Wenwu roll up into shrimps, and people on both sides pulled Wang Wenwu up again.

"Boy, my Mr. Xu, when I come to your house to buy your seal, do you know what to say?" The attacker took out a gun and put it on Wang Wenwu's head:

Wang Wenwu nodded to show that he knew. The attacker nodded to both sides to let go. Wang Wenwu immediately sat down on the ground.

"Kid, remember, you can't run away."

After saying that, the three of them turned and left. After only seven steps, they heard two gunshots. The attacker with the gun immediately fell to the ground. The other two were stunned for a moment. Wang Wenwu fired a shot at each of them, and they fell to the ground.

Unable to stand up, Wang Wenwu put his gun into the space to change bullets, and with a quick thought, each of them fired two more bullets.

The stopping effect of the 0.455-inch large-caliber revolver was very good. Wang Wenwu took the three corpses into the space, not even leaving the bloody soil on the ground. There were only a few footprints. He wiped most of them off and hurriedly left the dead end.

Everyone heard gunshots and someone was looking at the alley entrance.

When passing by an alley, two black men were standing nearby. They saw Wang Wenwu walking by quickly and grabbed him.

"Hey, man, what's going on ahead?"

"Someone fired, not just one shot, but maybe more than ten shots were fired,"

"Who drove it? Did you see it?"

"More than ten shots were fired. Who can get in? You are the police, so get in!"

"I didn't see it. This is a knife, not a gun." One of the policemen raised his Western saber.

"Then let go, I'm going home,"

"You didn't see anything?"

"Come on, fire so many shots, at least two will die, and the bodies will definitely not be taken away,"

The two policemen thought for a while and said, "Let's go!"

Wang Wenwu hurried home.
