Chapter 354 Keeping Secrets

Lu Fei was so shocked that Wu Zetian's exoneration gold slip appeared at Gao Zhanshan's auction.

As for the origin of this gold slip, some people speculate that Wu Zetian sacrificed her own children in order to gain power. In her later years, she felt guilty and feared that she would not be able to ascend to heaven and would go to hell.

This strong woman heard that she could get rid of her sins by making a gold slip, engraving her sins on it, and burying it in Songshan Mountain.

So in April 700 AD, when Wu Zetian was seventy-seven years old, she went to Sanyang Palace in Dengfeng City and fell seriously ill. After she recovered, it happened to be the "Qiao Qiao" day on July 7th.

On this day, she visited Songshan Mountain again and sent the Taoist priest Hu Chao to deliver the gold slips expressing her wishes to the gate of Songshan Mountain.

The text on the gold slips is Wu Zetian's prayer to Zhongyue. Some people interpret it as Wu Zetian's "business card" to pay homage to Zhongyue Songshan, which is the so-called "entry-throwing" in ancient times.

The discoverer of the golden slips was an ordinary farmer.

In May 1982, Qu Xihuai, a farmer from Dengfeng County, discovered this piece of pure gold in a crevice at the top of the mountain when he was collecting medicinal herbs in Songshan Mountain.

For this reason, Kong Fanlong, who had just passed his 60th year, took a bus from Tianducheng to Songshan overnight.

After expert Kong Fanlong's identification, this is the gold slip used to exonerate Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty.

Kong Fanlong said in his autobiography: "I have discovered jade and silver slips used by emperors to offer sacrifices to famous mountains and rivers in the motherland in the past, but this is the first time that the gold slips have been discovered. Its discovery provides an opportunity to understand the historical features of the Tang Dynasty and the empress of the generation. Wu Zetian’s life provides reliable physical evidence.”

This gold slip is also one of the stolen treasures in Zhongzhou, and it is also the only gold slip found in China so far. It has great historical significance and is a special first-class national treasure.

Not only that, because Wu Zetian's Qianling Mausoleum has not yet been opened, this gold slip is the only cultural relic of the empress Wu Zetian.

When the Zhongzhou Museum was stolen, a large number of people were held accountable.

Some people almost lost their heads because of this piece of gold slip. You can imagine how important this piece of gold slip is.

Now that he appears here, how can Lu Fei not be excited?

After getting excited, Lu Fei was 100% sure that the criminals who attacked the Zhongzhou Museum were 100% from Fengtian, and they might have something to do with Gao Zhanshan, Bai Chongjiu and others.

It has only been two days since I came to Fengtian, and two stolen treasures have already surfaced, and the other eight must also be in Fengtian City.

At this time the auctioneer quotes a low price.

"The starting price for this gold slip is 600,000 yuan, and each increase in price must not be less than 50,000 yuan. The bidding starts now."

"puff"

Lu Fei was so out of breath that he vomited blood.

Damn it!

The work of Wang Gao, who slept with Concubine Zhuang, proved that the starting price of the waistband was only 50,000 yuan.

A special first-class national treasure, the only gold slip in China, the only cultural relic related to the empress Wu Zetian, the starting price is only 600,000.

And the starting price for a pass to sleep with a female celebrity is as high as eight million. Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?

You will definitely be punished!

Just wait, maybe Wu Zetian will come to you tonight to entrust your dreams.

Lu Fei was angry in his heart, and he had to pretend to be extremely excited on his expression. This was too damn painful.

Because Wu Zetian was so famous, the auction had begun, and people were immediately bidding enthusiastically.

Lu Fei "excitedly" picked up the quote machine and was about to enter the numbers, when Xu Maochang screamed strangely.

"Huh?"

"Old Bai, I remember that this piece of gold slip should be in the Zhongzhou Museum. How come it appears?

it's here? "

"Which member brought this object? Is it a fake?"

Bai Chongjiu said with a frown.

"You are right. The Zhongzhou Museum was stolen that year, and this gold slip was among them and has not been seen to this day."

"I think this gold slip should be authentic. It should be a cultural relic stolen from the Zhongzhou Museum."

"Hold!"

"Isn't that just fucking stealing stolen goods?"

"Hurry up and ask who brought it. Don't take pictures of this. If something happens, none of us can handle it." Xu Maochang said excitedly.

Gao Zhanshan smiled bitterly.

"Third brother, have you forgotten our rules?"

"Let's not talk about whether I can find out which member the object belongs to. Even if I can find out, I can't do that."

"It's a bad rule to do that. It's a loss of credibility. How can I still hang out in Fengtian City if you ask me to do that?"

When the three of them were communicating, Xu Maochang happened to find Lu Fei looking excited and preparing to quote.

Xu Maochang quickly grabbed Lu Fei and said sternly.

"Brother, brother, you can't bid on this thing."

"Lao Bai said, this thing is stolen goods. If you take a photo of it, you might get sued."

Lu Fei smiled and said.

"I know this is stolen property. It was one of the cultural relics stolen from the Zhongzhou Museum in 1989."

"Aren't you afraid of death even if you know you're still filming?" Xu Maochang shouted loudly with his eyes wide open.

Lu Fei laughed nonchalantly.

"Haha, how many of the so-called collectors in China don't have black goods in their hands?"

"I took the pictures to play with myself and didn't want to sell them. I was so scared!"

"As long as my brothers don't report me, nothing will happen."

"Speaking of which, my brothers won't trick me, right?"

Lu Fei's expression instantly became serious as he spoke, and he looked around at everyone present.

When several waiters saw Lu Fei's sharp eyes like a wolf, they were so frightened that they turned pale and backed away.

Xu Maochang, Bai Chongjiu and Gao Zhanshan looked at Lu Fei and felt chills in their backs.

Hu Zongxian, who was being taken care of by Lu Fei, even broke out in cold sweat.

Hu Zongxian knew that the only one who had a problem with Lu Fei was himself, and Lu Fei's words were completely meant for him.

Hu Zongxian quickly stood up to show his loyalty.

"Brother Lu Fei, don't worry. I, Hu Zongxian, will never tell anyone. If I talk nonsense outside, everyone in my Hu family will die badly."

Lu Fei put away his eyes and smiled, picked up the wine glass and touched Hu Zongxian's glass and said.

"Brother Hu is serious. We are all good brothers. I believe that these brothers will not cheat me."

"Because it won't do you any good if you cheat me, right?"

"On the other hand, with my strength, Lu Fei, we can definitely achieve a lot if we work together sincerely."

"I believe in the vision of the elder brothers, you can definitely judge accurately which is more important."

Hu Zongxian picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, laughing loudly.

"Brother Lu Fei is right. It was all a misunderstanding before. We are all businessmen. Businessmen only have interests and no grudges."

In order to avoid suspicion, several other people also took the initiative to drink with Lu Fei to show their loyalty. In the end, Gao Zhanshan gave a stern warning to several waiters.

Lu Fei chuckled.

"Thank you to my brothers for keeping it a secret for me. I am determined to get this thing today. I will find a decent restaurant later, and I will invite some of my brothers to drink."

"And Third Brother, I hope that Third Brother will keep my secret, and never let Second Brother know."
