Originally, it was said that a good pigeon dropped, but after thinking about it, I updated it. I don’t know if this is another kind of pigeon...

"Ula, uh, uh, uh-"
Rapid sirens roared past the western suburbs of Hongqiao Road. More than a dozen police cars were speeding on the road, followed even by four anti-explosion assault vehicles specially designed for the armed police.
These were just the first batch of police officers to arrive.
With Tan Palace as the center, all the police stations from far to near responded. That night, the whole Shanghai could see and hear the sound of sirens one after another, and it was endless noisy.
"Shanghai siren song!"
In less than half an hour, a heated discussion started on Weibo. At first, locals from Shanghai complained that their sleep was disturbed, complaining about the police cars here that were shouting like crazy.
As a result, when I went to Weibo, I discovered that it was not just the police cars in their area that were going crazy, but the entire Shanghai police cars were going crazy!
The number of comments on related hot searches soon exceeded 30,000, and people from other regions also participated.
"It's quite a big fuss. All the police in Shanghai are dispatched?"
"I just looked out the window. Not only the civilian police, but also the armed police were rushing towards Hongqiao Road one by one. The arrest of international drug lords would not be such a battle."
"I heard a bomb was found."
"Don't scare me, I live on Hongqiao Road..."
"You are spreading rumors. If there is really a bomb, wouldn't you evacuate the people immediately?"
"Don't guess. I have a friend who is on duty at the Shanghai Public Security Bureau tonight. He told me that he seems to have discovered important cultural relics."
"What kind of cultural relics can cause so many police cars to be dispatched? It feels like it's a bit of a fuss."
"Let's wait for the announcement. The noise here is a little quieter. Let's go back to sleep. We have to move bricks at the construction site tomorrow..."
……………………
Some rumors have leaked on the Internet, but no one realizes what kind of cultural relic this is, but it is only a matter of time before it is made public.
At the same time, at Luo Quan's mansion in Tan Palace, the lights in the entire hall were asked to be turned on. The director, experts, special police captain, and countless big shots gathered together.
The six men with long gray hair, some holding various documents and books, others holding various instruments, were studying around the jade seal in the box.
In fact, based on their decades of experience in identifying cultural relics, they can estimate the approximate year just by looking at the gold pieces and the color of the bottom of the jade seal.
There is no doubt about the authenticity. This is a jade seal from more than 2,000 years ago, and the jade material is pure Lantian white jade.
Combined with the insect and bird seal characters at the bottom, the broken corner, and the gold used to repair this corner.
Everything basically told the identity of this jade seal, and the eyes of several old experts were already wet at this time.
From the mottled gold fragments in the box, they seemed to see the rise and fall of countries and the change of dynasties in the five thousand years of Chinese civilization!
"Director Zhao, how are you doing? Are you sure?" A middle-aged man who looked like a leader came over and asked eagerly.
The middle-aged man named Zhou Yu originally had a lot of things on his hands today, but when he heard that the imperial seal was suspected to be found, he immediately put down all his work and rushed over.
If he hadn't come in person, there wouldn't have been so many special police and armed police dispatched.
"Zhou SJ, this jade seal is roughly from the Qin Dynasty, and the gold piece wrapped around it is from around the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
According to historical records, in 936 AD, the Later Tang Dynasty was overthrown, and Li Congke, the late Emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, set himself on fire with his family members in Xuanwu Tower. The whereabouts of the jade seal passed down to the country are unknown.
This is basically right in terms of time! "
Zhou Yu was overjoyed: "So, this is the imperial seal?"
Curator Zhao almost burst into tears as he said: "We still need a mass spectrometer to identify the specific age, but based on the various traces on the jade seal, we can basically determine it. The identification process can be done in ten minutes at most!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get the appraisal done!" Zhou Yu couldn't wait to get the results now and hold a press conference overnight.
On the one hand, Chuan Guo Yuxi was discovered during his tenure, which is a great achievement and a real political achievement!
Secondly, this is a national treasure level cultural relic, and it has been lost for thousands of years. Once it is recovered, it will be a great joy for the whole country. Of course, the sooner it is announced, the better.
But everyone was too happy and ignored one thing.
After hearing the leader's words, the experts looked at each other, as if there were some words that were not easy to say.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yu was confused.
Curator Zhao pushed up his glasses and said seriously: "The Imperial Seal is now someone else's private property, and we have no right to take it away directly."
Zhou Yu was furious: "What nonsense! How can such a national treasure be possessed by private individuals!"
"This... the situation is a bit complicated. Go and negotiate with her yourself." Director Zhao glanced at the girls sitting obediently at the dining table in the distant dining room and pointed at Luo Quan:
"She bought this from a nationally certified cultural relics auction organization. The procedures were complete and the money and goods were paid."
Zhou Yu looked over, his heart sinking, and his frowning brows became even tighter now.
He secretly thought to himself: Foreigners... this is not going to be easy to deal with. Now they probably know the value of the jade seal, so they will inevitably ask for a sky-high price.
But no matter how much money is spent, the national treasure must be kept in China. Shang Hai has nothing else but more money!
Zhou Yu walked toward Luoquan, followed by a large group of people in Wuyangyang, with a fierce momentum.
"Hello, do you speak Chinese?" Zhou Yu asked in English.
Luo Quan was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned into a black question mark:
"????"
"Don't know English? Are you Russian?" Zhou Yu's brows relaxed a little. Mao Zi was still better than Gui Lao.
"I'm from China, leader." Luo Quan suppressed his laughter and answered in standard Mandarin.
All the girls behind Luo Quan laughed out loud.
Zhou Yu smiled awkwardly, but he didn't expect that he would make a big joke at the beginning.
"By the way, you didn't recognize me?" Luo Quan was also a little confused. Her face was so recognizable that the leader actually thought she was a foreigner.
"Ahem!" Principal Li coughed twice and began to introduce again: "Zhou SJ is usually busy with official duties, so it's not surprising that he doesn't pay much attention to the news on Weibo.
This is Luo Quan. Even though she looks more like a foreigner than a mixed race, she is actually a Chinese with upright roots. Not only is she a well-known musical genius at home and abroad, but she is also a first-year student at our Shanghai University of the Arts. "
Zhou Yu eased the embarrassment at this moment with a smile: "This is my mistake. I am usually too busy and don't pay special attention to this.
Speaking of Luo Quan, how did you discover this jade seal and how did you buy it? "
"This is a coincidence." Luo Quan laughed, and then repeated the explanation he just gave to Director Zhao.
To sum up, it is good luck, a blind cat bumps into a dead mouse.
"I didn't expect it to be like this..." After listening to Luo Quan's words, Zhou Yu was not very sad. If she hadn't dropped it, this national jade seal would have been kept in a box and placed among ordinary cultural relics. It has been collected, and I don’t know when it will come back to the world.
Zhou Yu became serious, looked at Luo Quan and said, "Then what are you going to do with the Jade Seal? As a cultural relic of this level, as a Chinese, you should also know what it means!"
Although according to the law, Luo Quan is the legal owner of the Imperial Seal, the specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail. This kind of treasure, like a nuclear bomb, cannot be held in private hands. Whether it is bought or robbed, must be handed over to the state for safekeeping.
Luo Quan also knew this. From the moment she called Principal Li, she never thought about hiding this jade seal privately, not to mention that she couldn't hide it.
If any news about such a treasure leaks out, this family will become a den of thieves in the future.
"I am willing to hand it over to the country for free." When Luo Quan said this, everyone was surprised, but they all looked at Luo Quan with approval.
Curator Zhao was afraid that Zhou Yu would not know the price of this sentence, so he kindly added: "This jade seal was bought by Luo Quan at an auction for 200 million US dollars."
For the country or Shanghai City, 200 million US dollars is just a drop in the bucket, but as an individual, it is really kind-hearted to donate so much money for free at once!
"I have a small request." Luo Quan raised a finger and smiled sheepishly.
"You said that as long as it is not illegal or disciplined, the government will try its best to satisfy you!" Zhou Yu felt very happy at this time and gave his promise without hesitation.
Luo Quan raised his cell phone and said: "On the way to the appraisal, can you live broadcast this jade seal for me? After all, it cost 1.3 billion to buy it. It belongs to my last bit of time, and I want to share it with my fans. .”
Zhou Yu didn't expect it to be such a simple request, and was confused: "That's it? No other requests? If you offer a certain amount of compensation, it is reasonable."
Luo Quan shook his head and smiled: "It is an honor for me to hand over such a national treasure. As for compensation, there is no need. Although 1.3 billion is a lot, I am actually not short of money.
If the government really wants to compensate, it can donate all the proceeds from the future exhibition of this jade seal to poor students in mountainous areas. "
"Okay!" Zhou Yu clapped his hands, applauding Luo Quan for his profound understanding of justice.
As for Luoquan, it seems that a large sum of money was donated, but in fact there was no loss.
Since ancient times, favors that can be measured in money are best repaid.
Luo Quan's free donation was equivalent to making the country owe her a favor. In ancient times, this was equivalent to getting a gold medal to avoid death!
Of course, there is definitely no immunity from death in modern times, but no matter what she does in the future, she will definitely receive a lot of special treatment. After all, she is the discoverer and donor of the Imperial Seal, which is a huge contribution in any period.
After the negotiation was completed, Luo Quan held the box containing the imperial seal, got into an armed explosion-proof vehicle, and headed to the research institute for identifying the age of cultural relics.
She was still the owner of this jade seal until she got off the bus.
"Fans, are you all asleep?" Luo Quan opened the live broadcast on his mobile phone. It is now 11 o'clock on Sunday night. Both students and office workers should have rested.
"Didn't sleep!"
"Just woke up…………"
"Is there a night shift up front?"
"I finally remembered the live broadcast."
Luo Quan laughed: "Haha, it's okay if you didn't sleep. It would be a pity to miss tonight's show."
Barrage:
"What program?"
"So this is in the car?"
"The interior of this car looks very similar to an armed vehicle."
Luo Quan explained: "I'm in an armed explosion-proof vehicle right now. Dozens of police cars are escorting me now. How about it? Is there a queue?"
Barrage:
"Isn't it illegal?"
"Yao Shou! Luo Quan was caught!"
"Where are the handcuffs? Why don't you wear silver bracelets in such a big battle?"
"Imprisonment Play?"
"Isn't this the bus to kindergarten?"
Seeing that the barrage was gradually becoming distorted, Luo Quan didn't give in anymore:
"Everyone knows that I bought a golden seal a few hours ago, right?"
Barrage:
"I know, 200 million US dollars bought a golden pimple, it's a lot of money..."
"You don't want to show off that thing to us, do you?"
"What's the point of this? It's just that it's older,"
Seeing the disdain of the barrage, Luo Quan raised a smile: "You are all too hasty. To tell you the truth, the golden seal I bought this time is only its appearance. I peeled off the surface gold flakes and found a Treasure!"
With that said, Luo Quan opened the box and revealed the imperial seal inside.
Luo Quan showed the bottom of the jade seal: "See if there is a Qin seal on it, ordained by heaven, you will live forever! There is also this golden horn, which was repaired with gold after the Queen Mother broke it. It’s full of history.”
Barrage:
"Haha, you know what this picture of a chicken pecking at rice means. You said it was ordered by heaven, but I also said that public defecation is not allowed here."
"It's good. In fact, I have a kitchen knife for cutting pigweed at home. I have always suspected that it is the long-lost dragon-slaying knife."
"Actually, I have a golden hoop that I have treasured for many years..."
"That one is for all men, right?"
"Killing me…………"
Obviously, the fans in the live broadcast room did not believe what Luo Quan said. Even though she had shown the Imperial Seal to everyone, they just thought she was joking.
After all, it is an object that has been lost for thousands of years, and there are no real pictures of it on the Internet. No one would believe it when it was first shown.
Luo Quan smiled helplessly: "Believe it or not, it's up to you, but I have already handed this thing over to the state, and it will be sent for final appraisal soon. You will probably see the news tomorrow morning.
This is definitely the most prestigious treasure among all wealthy anchors. There will be no one in the future who will be more valuable than my jade seal. "
After saying that, Luo Quan turned off the live broadcast.
After Luo Quan bought the Imperial Seal and owned it for three hours, he finally had to hand it over.
The car drove to the entrance of the research institute, and the researchers who had been waiting for it gathered around and stared at the jade seal in Luo Quan's hand with pilgrim eyes.
After getting it, I started testing it non-stop.
The normal test only takes ten minutes to complete, but this time in order to determine the age of the jade seal, the test was carried out very carefully.
Finally, twenty minutes later, the director of the institute came up with a report:
"Confirmed that it is the jade seal passed down from the country!"
