Chapter 5 Chapter 4 What is he studying?

From this record, we can see two points: First, Shen Wansan's fortune really came from a cornucopia, not from doing business. To make a fortune like this in business, he naturally has an extremely sophisticated mathematical head. Knowing that Taizu said this, he should know it was wrong, and immediately refused, how could he "accept it with confidence"?He has no mathematical mind, and naturally he is not very flexible in doing business. He relies on the cornucopia, no doubt about it. Second, if Shen Wansan still has a cornucopia at this time, then after a month, no matter how much money becomes, it will not be difficult for him. To the point of ruining the family", then, we know that the cornucopia he presented to Ming Taizu is real, and without the cornucopia, naturally he can no longer make money!

Although this is recorded hundreds of years ago, it is very useful to me. Because as long as the cornucopia that Shen Wansan presented to Ming Taizu at that time was real, then the fragments of my cornucopia are naturally real cornucopia fragments! I was very satisfied with flipping through old books in the middle of the night, and I wrapped up the fragments solemnly before going to bed. The next day, after I got up, the first thing I did was to look at the fragment again. Then, I got dressed, had a quick breakfast, drove the car, took the fragment, and went straight to the suburbs to find Dr. Wang Zhengcao .

When I arrived at Dr. Wang’s residence, I slammed on the door for a long time before someone responded. As soon as the door opened, Wang Zhengcao stood in front of the door with an angry face. When he saw me, he became even more angry. , snapped: "You rascal, are you here again?" I had already expected that he would be furious when he saw me, so I was already prepared to deal with his words. I hurriedly said, "Mr. Wang, I was sent by the boss Liu of the antique shop." This sentence really had an unexpected effect. When Wang Zhengcao heard it, his anger disappeared immediately: "Ah, ah, you are sent by Boss Liu. He has found what I want? How much does it cost? Please come in."

He sideways let me enter the room, the furnishings in the room were very simple, I sat down and said, "There is indeed another item of what you asked for, but it wasn't that he found it and sent me to deliver it." Wang Zhengcao wiped his hands excitedly: "As long as you have it, it's fine, what else is the problem?" I smiled: "Mr. Wang, I'm afraid things are not as simple as you think. This piece belongs to me. If there is no suitable condition, I will not sell it easily." Wang Zhengcao was stunned for a while, and let out a series of "ahhh" sounds, obviously he didn't know how to answer my words for a while, and after a long while, he said: "ah, what conditions do you want?"

I said: "Don't talk about the conditions, just see if my piece is what you need." I took out the fragment and handed it to him. He hurriedly tore open the paper wrapping the fragment, and put the fragment under the sunlight. At that time, I saw his hands trembling slightly. I saw his eyes wide open, staring at the fragment, as if there was a great magic power on the fragment. At the same time, he was muttering to himself: "It's amazing, it turned out to be like that, I couldn't have imagined it, if I hadn't seen it, I would have never thought of it, it turned out to be like that."

I didn't understand what he meant by talking to himself like that, but I was sure that the fragment I brought was indeed what he wanted. Before he could concentrate, I walked up to him and stretched out my hand , snatched the fragment from his hand: "Okay, enough is enough." Wang Zhengcao hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, that is exactly what I want, how much do you want? Tell me quickly, I will definitely raise it for you, how much?" I smiled: "Money is second, I have some other conditions!" Wang Zhengcao couldn't wait to say: "What condition, tell me quickly, I will definitely agree to you."

I said, "Well, you already have one of these fragments, don't you?" Wang Zhengcao said, "Yes." I said: "You have been studying your fragment for a while? I want to know the conclusion of your research!" Wang Zhengcao's face became very ugly, he naturally did not expect that I would go straight in and ask him such a question. Then, he showed a very ugly smile, and said in a tone that was obviously covering up the inside story: "It's strange, what conclusion, the best conclusion, is that the fragment is really a fragment of Shen Wansan's cornucopia That's all, what else?"

I knew that what Wang Zhengcao said was not the truth, but I couldn't refute him. Indeed, what could be the best conclusion to be drawn from the study of the Fragment, but to prove that the Fragment was indeed part of the Cornucopia? I thought about it for a while: "You have reached this conclusion, haven't you? You once said this to Boss Liu of the antique shop." Wang Zhengcao said: "Yes." I said: "Then you have enough for one piece, why do you have to do everything possible to find a second piece?" Wang Zhengcao blinked his eyes cunningly: "That's a real antique, and it's such a legendary antique. I have one, so I naturally thought of the second one."

I knew clearly in my heart that what Wang Zhengcao said was all lies.However, I couldn't find the flaws in his words, and naturally I couldn't expose his lies. Wang Zhengcao looked at me: "Okay, you already understand why I want another piece. The piece in your hand is indeed an antique with a very high value. You can ask for a price!" I said slowly, "No, I won't ask for the price unless you let me understand why you really need it." At that moment, Wang Zhengcao showed an extremely angry expression. He didn't make a sound, and I didn't make a sound. The atmosphere was extremely stiff. I kept watching him and watching his reaction.

I saw that after his angry expression gradually dissipated, he stared at the fragment in my hand with a very greedy expression, and then took a deep breath. In his heart, he must be thinking about how to deal with it I.But I have already made up my mind, no matter what he does, I must know the truth before I will give him the fragment. In order to lure him to tell the truth, I said: "It seems that you are here, and you are engaged in a very secret research, isn't it?" Wang Zhengcao forced a smile: "You're wrong, it's just ordinary research, if you don't believe me, I'm an antique lover, I have a hobby for all kinds of antiques, look at this!"

He walked out a few steps, picked up a big vase on a coffee table, came to me again, and said: "For example, this big vase, look, it was made in the Hongwu period, and I bought it at a high price. " As he said that, he turned the bottom of the big vase to me. On the bottom of the vase, I saw the words "Hongwu Nianzhi", but that vase was obviously worthless. I laughed and said, "You ..." I just said a word, and something I never expected happened. Wang Zhengcao suddenly raised the vase and knocked it down on my head. At that moment, I didn't feel any pain, I just heard the crack of the vase, followed by a strange sound, like a piano, within a tenth of a second, it fell apart Open the same. Immediately after the sound of "buzz", my eyes went dark for a while, and my body shook, and I passed out. That was completely beyond my expectation. Until I woke up, I could hardly believe that it could be true. Such a famous professor and senior intellectual would use such a method to obtain what he wants.How else can we be human?Human beings are really terrifying, to the point of being impossible to guard against. After I woke up, there was still a sharp pain in the top of my head, as if a piece of red-hot iron was placed on my head.I wanted to reach out to feel the wound on my head, but I found that my hands were tied behind my back. I turned my head to look, and I could see that my hands were tightly tied behind a huge table, and that table was erected and leaned against the wall. The place I was in was obviously a utility room, with a lot of clutter and dust on it. I also immediately discovered that not only my hands were tied behind my back, but even my feet were tightly tied to the big table, and there was absolutely no way for me to move the table with me. When I figured out my situation, I couldn't help laughing bitterly. In my heart, I immediately thought of many stories about "Doctor Strange".Now, I am obviously in the hands of such a "Doctor Strange", how will he deal with me? In the novels I have read, Doctor Strange has many tricks to deal with his captives, and some even immerse the captives in hydrochloric acid to turn them into a complete skeleton model. When I think of these stories, I really shudder, what will Wang Zhengcao do to me? I stayed there for a while, and then I yelled suddenly. I yelled very loudly, and yelled again and again. After I yelled for a few minutes, the door of the utility room was opened with a "bang" Come on, Wang Zhengcao with a livid face stood at the door and said sharply, "Stop screaming, okay?" I gasped: "This is ridiculous, you robbed me and tied me here, why don't you let me call for help?" Wang Zhengcao rubbed his hands, and I saw that his forehead was sweating, as if he was more nervous than me. I said again: "Professor Wang, you are so stupid. Many people know that I came to you. If you don't let me go, then you will be in great trouble and charged with serious crimes!" I threatened Wang Zhengcao with words, but Wang Zhengcao nodded repeatedly. He said, "I know, I know I'm in trouble. If I could kill you, I wouldn't be in trouble. Unfortunately, I won't kill people!" I couldn't help but stay for a while, seeing Wang Zhengcao's expression, he really wanted to kill me, and it was done once and for all! And the reason why he didn't attack me may be because no matter what, he is always a person who has received many years of advanced education, and he can't do murder. However, since he thought of killing people, but did not think of letting me go, returning the fragment to me, or telling me the real situation of his research on the fragment, then, it is also conceivable that I was very nervous. There is no other way to make him say it! I sighed: "Dr. Wang, forget it, I won't get to the bottom of it anymore, you let me go, the fragment I brought is my gift to you, I hope your research will be successful!" Wang Zhengcao looked at me steadfastly, his expression was like that of a wooden man. Then, he said naively: "You, you are not lying to me, are you going to call the police after I let you go?" I smiled lightly: "Don't worry, no, I respect you as a scientist who has made great contributions in the field of science. I don't want you to commit further crimes. That's why you did that. You must not tell me What are you researching, what can I do?" Wang Zhengcao looked at me for a while, and said in a very grateful voice: "I will never forget you, you are so kind to me, if my research has results, I will definitely share it with you, and I can make you the best in the world. The richest man, the richest!" After hearing his words, I couldn't help but feel a sudden move in my heart, and blurted out: "If your research is successful, you can make me the richest person? Then, what you are doing now is to create a treasure bowl?" As soon as Wang Zhengcao heard me explain the Fa like that, his expression changed again, and he hurriedly interrupted: "Stop joking!" My heart was moved at the time, and I said those words, but I immediately felt amused, making a cornucopia is too ridiculous!It's ridiculous! So I smiled too, and didn't say any more: "Okay, untie me!" Wang Zhengcao cut the rope with a small knife and restored my freedom. Judging from his actions, he is a person with a pure heart. Because I just said a few words lightly, he completely Believe me. But in fact, he used that method to deal with me first, and I can completely ignore what I said, and count it as a lie to him. From a moral point of view, I have no regrets. But he believed me, which proves that the reason why he used such means to deal with me was because he wanted the fragment too much. When he really wanted the target too much, he naturally revealed the ugly side of human nature, This also seems quite forgivable. After shaking my hands, I touched my head again, and there was a big lump on the top of my head. Wang Zhengcao shook my hand: "Thank you, really, thank you very much for your generosity!" I didn't have anything to say, and Wang Zhengcao said thank you again and again, which also meant that he didn't want me to stay any longer, so I left and walked out. When I came under the sun, I couldn't help laughing bitterly. This time, not only did I get nothing, but I also lost the fragment that I spent a lot of money and a lot of energy to get. If I insist on saying what I got, then what I got is just an illusory promise from Wang Zhengcao! However, I believe that what I can get is nothing more than that, because the question I asked Wang Zhengcao has already forced him to commit murder. If he is not really unwilling to reveal his secret, he will never Between keeping a secret and committing a crime, choose the criminal. I think I'm doing the right thing now. Although Wang Zhengcao was sorry for me and knocked me out, I didn't make his crime go any further. I stopped things from developing in a bad way in time. Although it seems that at present, I gained nothing and suffered a loss, but who knows what will happen next? I went out and took two steps, Wang Zhengcao suddenly chased me out: "Mr. Wei, wait a minute, I forgot to tell you something!" I stood still and turned around. He gasped: "give me your phone number, and at the same time, please don't come to me again, I will call you when I need to contact you." Wang Zhengcao didn't want me to look for him again, this is too much!No matter what he does now, he always takes a piece of my cornucopia. I have a share in his research work, and he doesn't allow me to come to him! At that moment, I really felt extremely angry. I clenched my fists and almost cried out. However, within a tenth of a second, I changed my mind, I smiled wryly, and spread my hands: "Okay, whatever you think should be done, my phone number is—" I gave him the phone number, and he turned around and walked in, closing the door tightly with a bang. I smiled bitterly and shook my head. The reason why I changed my mind was because I thought that since I had made such a big sacrifice, I didn't need to care about this small sacrifice. Moreover, to be honest, Wang Zhengcao is not an interesting person. Meeting him is extremely boring. Even if he invites me to go, I may not be willing to meet him. I came to the side of the car and looked at Wang Zhengcao's house again. I wondered in my heart when Wang Zhengcao would call me, and whether he would call me! I drove back to the urban area, first went to the antique shop to find the owner, and told him about the fact that I found another piece of cornucopia, and then I asked him: "Boss Liu, you have opened an antique shop for decades. , I have seen a lot of ancient objects, from your point of view, what do you think the fragments of the cornucopia are worth?" Boss Liu smiled: "That's really hard to say. It's hard to tell the value of an antique. What is a Maogong Ding? It's just a few dozen catties of copper, but its value cannot be estimated." I said: "Even if it is a fragment, is it still valuable?" Boss Liu frowned: "Accordingly, such fragments should have inscriptions on them to be valuable. Does the one you found have words?" I shook my head and said, "No words." Boss Liu said with a smile: "I really don't know why that Dr. Wang judged it to be true. From my point of view, if you want an antique from the early Ming Dynasty, I have it here. Are you interested in the general seal from the early Ming Dynasty?" I laughed loudly: "Boss Liu, why did you get me to do business?" Boss Liu also laughed, just at this time, a customer came in, I took the opportunity to say goodbye to Boss Liu, and when I got home, I told Bai Su what happened. Bai Su looked at me for a while, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, then you just wait?" Naturally, I could hear the sarcasm in her words, and I couldn't think of anything to answer her except for a smirk. After I met Wang Zhengcao that time, in the first few days, I really remembered the fragment of the cornucopia.However, after half a month, I didn't think much of it anymore, and after a month, I almost forgot about it. Naturally, Wang Zhengcao never called.
