Daowai District, No. 36 Binjiang Road, Shenghedang!

"Shopkeeper, I have an ancient jade ring. Let me show you how much money is worth?" A middle-aged man who had half his face took out a piece of jade with his body temperature from his arms and handed it in!

The old shopkeeper took the ancient jade, put it in front of reading glasses and looked at it, and said in surprise: "It's Hanyu!"

"Old shopkeeper, please estimate the price!" The owner of Guyu said with a bitter face.

"Little cabinet, bring my magnifying glass!" The shopkeeper is getting older, and the pawnshop is not very bright, jewelry and jade are the easiest to look big. If the age is wrong, the price will be completely different!

Even ancient jade is of high or low quality, whether it is a workmanship, patina, whether it is a work of the masterpiece, or a burial object, etc., if there are specific historical figures, it will be even more valuable.

"Old guest, your jade is a man of the past and from the Western Han Dynasty, but it seems that it is not well preserved. The patina has lost its luster and has enough time. It is not good in appearance, and the workmanship is not very fine. The style is used by the nobles, but it is just an ordinary little noble. If you want to live or die?" the old shopkeeper asked after looking over and over for a few minutes.

"How much should you live and how much should you die?"

"If you live, it is about half the value of this ancient jade, and if you live, it is two levels higher!" said the old shopkeeper.

"Then how much does it cost to live with my piece of ancient jade? How much does it cost to live with my death?"

The old shopkeeper estimated and said, "If you are dead, you will be given 150 yuan. If you are alive, you will be given 100 yuan!"

"Didn't you just say that death is two levels higher than living is more important than living?"

"It's true that you are a real person, so you have such a high price. If you live, you will be a hundred oceans!" The old shopkeeper handed over the ancient jade. The price of this prosperous antique, gold in troubled times, and jewelry and jade is very unstable. In the past, it would be no problem to exchange this one for hundreds of taels of silver. It would be good to have one-third of the price in the past!

"Can I meet your boss?"

"What did you see the boss?" The old shopkeeper became alert in an instant.

"In addition to this ancient jade, I have some goods in my hand. If I can sell it for a good price, I will give it to you all!"

"Old guest. I don't collect items of unknown origin here. Our shop is small and I can't afford to cause trouble!" said the old shopkeeper.

"Don't worry, the shopkeeper, the things in my hand are all handed down from ancestors, just three or five pieces, and this ancient jade is one of them!"

"Okay, it's not impossible to meet the boss, but show me the goods!" The old shopkeeper turned his eyes and signaled the apprentice's small cabinet to close the door quickly!

"This is not possible, the object is a bit big. It's not convenient for me to bring it, so I'd better wait until I see the boss!"

"So that's it. You described the object to me, and I'll roughly determine what it was!" said the old shopkeeper.

"There is a Buddha statue. I heard from my family that it was passed down with ancient jade. It has been around for a long time. It is about half a person tall and quite heavy. I can't move it alone. It is probably bronze..."

It is impossible for Buddha statues in the Han Dynasty. Even if Buddhism was spread, it did not reach the Central Plains. The age should be still later, but the Buddha statues are only valuable if they fall into the hands of people who know the goods, let alone not know which era it was. The old shopkeeper could not say it just by describing it!

The second one is a bit like that. One of the inkstones is probably from the Song Dynasty. If it was made by a famous person, it would be worth a hundred times more powerful!

The third one is the hand warmer of the Tang Dynasty, brass, which is rare. Usually only nobles can afford it. It can be of great value or small value. The royal family uses one in the sky and one in the underground!

The middle-aged man only said these three items. Except for the first item that the old shopkeeper could not judge at all, if the two items below were all real, I would probably not have to worry about this order business for three years!

The old shopkeeper was a little moved, thought for a while, and decided to notify the boss. After all, each of these three things is probably more than a thousand dollars. If he exceeds this limit, he has no authority!

"Little cabinet, go to the back to find the boss and say there is a distinguished guest coming!"

"Okay!" Xiaoguzi agreed quickly. The boss was in the store these days, and he was there after walking a few steps.

"Boss, there is an old customer here. There is some good product. The shopkeeper dare not make a decision. Please come over!"

"What kind of thing?"

"I don't know, it seems that there is a bronze Buddha statue from the Western Han Dynasty, and some Song inkstone..."

"Oh, these are all rare objects. Well, please invite people in. Also, tell the shopkeeper that they will close the door and stop doing business today!"

"Yes, boss!"

"Boss, the guest has brought you!" The old shopkeeper brought people into the backyard and knocked on the boss's door.

"Lao Wang, you can go back and rest."

"Boss, this..."

"Don't worry, your commission is indispensable!"

"Yes, boss!" After hearing what the boss said, Manager Wang had no objection. The risks were taken over by the boss. His own benefits were indispensable, so why not do it?

"Little cabinet, be careful of the portal and don't disturb anyone!" The boss gave another order.

"Yes, boss!" Xiaoqizi is an apprentice and lives in the store. He is guarding the store, and secondly, there is no better place than living here.

"Ikeda Jun, why are you here? Didn't you agree not to look for me in the pawnshop?" The owner of the pawnshop was Hyoyoshi Yuitake, who was a pseudonym Takeharukawa, and the person who came to pawn the ancient jade was Koiki Koizumi who personally selected Captain Kogoro Ikeda who was sent to assist him!

"Half Maiwu, the matter is urgent, I had no choice but to come over and meet you in person." Ikeda Kogoro explained.

"What happened that made you so anxious?" asked Baiwu Qingji.

"Do you know the news that General Gangcun was captured?"

"I know, there are many rumors these two days, but I don't think this is trustworthy!" Baiwu Qingji calmed down the Shinto.

"Old Master Baiwu, this is true. General Gangmura was indeed captured by the Chinese people. And for more than a week, the headquarters once sent an elite force to intercept and escort the team in the middle, but was discovered by the Chinese people and almost wiped out the entire army!" said Kogoro Ikeda.

"What, this matter is true, why didn't the headquarters mention it?"

"The capture of the Gangmeng is a very bad scandal for the Kanto Army of the Imperial Japanese Empire. The headquarters hopes to rescue the Gangmeng, so that the Chinese people's plan to use the Gangmeng to attack us will go bankrupt!" Ikeda Kogoro said.

"The headquarters won't mean that we will take on the task of rescuing your lord village, right?" Baiwu Qingji frowned.

"The headquarters means that we hope we can provide information about the imprisonment address of Your Excellency Kamura!" Ikeda Kogoro said.

"Let us provide intelligence. The headquarters is not unaware that my work direction is Soviet Russia. At this time, I will provide intelligence about the Chinese people. Isn't that a force to force people?" Baiwu Qingji was very dissatisfied!

"Hundred Wujun, our intelligence agency suffered heavy losses in Harbin. Not only did many people lose contact, but the intelligence network also destroyed the Chinese people. The intelligence power was greatly damaged. Moreover, the personnel installed before did not work at all. The prison location of the Gangcun Youth was very secret. They tried their best to inquire for a long time, but there was no news at all. Only then did they think of us, hoping that we could find some useful clues by eavesdropping on the contact between the Chinese military headquarters and the outside world!" said Kogoro Ikeda.

"This is very dangerous. You are not an intelligence agent. You don't know the Chinese people's powerful abilities in intelligence. They have a meticulous and meticulous division of labor and act quickly and decisively, no worse than the agents trained by the Great Japanese Empire!" said Hakuyoshi.

"What Baiwujun means is that this task is difficult to complete?"

"It's very difficult. The Chinese were able to hide General Gangcun for so long, and the news was not leaked at all, which shows that their security work was done very well. Moreover, they have already checked our intelligence agencies. Compared to our eavesdropping technology, they have not informed the Soviets. This shows that they do not trust the Soviets, so I can obtain their intelligence. For the Chinese, they will definitely not make the mistakes of the Soviets, so the method of eavesdropping is not advisable!" Baiwu Haruyoshi said.

"The above order must be rescued by the Soviet Union before the Soviet negotiation envoy arrives in Harbin. The least it is necessary..."

"Do you kill someone to silence me?" Baiwu Qingji showed a little displeasure. Although he was also an army, he looked down on the army's various actions.

"It would be a disaster for the Great Japanese Empire to not allow the Soviets to see the Supreme Gangcun!"

"Your Excellency Gangcun is also an emperor. He will not betray the empire, right?" said Baiwu Haruyoshi.

"I don't know, Your Excellency Gangmura knows too many empire secrets. If he speaks, it will be extremely unfavorable to the empire!" Ikeda Kogoro said.

"Okay, I'll try my best, but there's no guarantee that there will be a result!" Hyogu Haruki hesitated for a moment, but nodded and agreed. The Kanto Army Command did not directly issue an order to itself, and conveyed it through Kogoro Ikeda. It's not that it's about asking for his own opinions. If he refuses, Koi Izumi Kwan Aki will have room for maneuver and will not have a rift.

"Also, news came from the inside that the Chinese and the Soviet Consulate had another secret meeting tomorrow morning. The specific content is unclear. It is probably the negotiations on the rights of the Middle East Railway." Kogoro Ikeda said.

"Well, I understand. I will figure out the purpose and content of their talks." Baiwu Qingji nodded.

"Hundred Wujun, please!"

"Leave your ancient jade, I will get you two hundred oceans and issue you another ticket, so that your identity will not be suspected!" Baiwu Qingyao said.

"Thank you, Mr. Baiwu!" Kogoro Ikeda said gratefully. He only had an ancient jade on his body. His father grabbed it when he participated in the Eight-Nation Alliance's fire in the Old Summer Palace and passed it to him.

"Don't worry, I won't want you this ancient jade. I will give it back to you when the mission is completed!" Baiwu Qingyao said.

"Hayi!" (To be continued...)
