90,000 Years of Longevity

Chapter 309: Copper Coin

A female reporter, withstanding the heavy rain, holding a microphone, was facing the camera with excitement.

"Dear friends, I am a reporter from the East China Sea TV Station, Hu Yuanyuan. Today, our TV station received the latest news that a murder occurred on the most famous antique street Confucian Temple in East China Sea City. According to some people familiar with the matter, the death toll is as high as nine." Hu Yuanyuan looked very excited as she tried to max out her voice.

At the same time, the cameraman opposite her was also quite professional. He immediately pointed the camera at the group of people from the Anti-Riot Department on the street and Dai Jianming's team.

Seeing that the camera was in place, Hu Yuanyuan continued, "As you can see now, the people from Anti-Riot Department in East China Sea City has been dispatched to cooperate with some staff. Anyhow, it's unfortunate that it happens to have heavy rain today. But they are really admirable since, under such heavy rain, they are still on the front line without any fear."

Because of the heavy rain, Hu Yuanyuan's face was occupied by water.

She also wiped it with her hand but she always felt a little depressed.

But as a professional reporter and since she had received strict training at that, she knew what to say and what not to say.

"Now, let me take the audience friends to the scene to see the latest situation. I will interview these sirs. For such a big case, I think they must have a lot of things to reveal."

With that, Hu Yuanyuan put away the microphone and winked at the cameraman, and then trotted in the direction of the people from the Anti-Riot Department.

In fact, in this street, other than Hu Yuanyuan's team, there were many other reporters too.

Without exception, those reporters were putting up with the heavy rain to make brief reports on the situation here.

...

Confucian Temple, in an unknown antique shop.

After Lu Wensheng took the towel, he stood in the lobby and slowly wiped the rain off his body.

The young clerk was very casual. He was still tidying up some antiquities in the shop.

It was as though the rainstorm and the rioting crowd outside had nothing to do with him.

As for Ye Bei, he was just quietly walking around in this shop.

Even with three people inside, it was still surprisingly quiet.

After a long time, Ye Bei stopped next to the shelf on the left.

Right in front of him, on display was a copper coin.

This copper coin was priced at one million yuan.

It was just that the words on this coin were very different from the usual coin.

After the young clerk saw Ye Bei stop, he took the initiative to break the quiet atmosphere.

"Sir, this copper coin is not simple. Many people came to this store before and thought it was a fake, and thought my store was cheating money. But let me tell you, this copper coin comes from the Qin Dynasty. Look at the words above, only those in the Qin Dynasty dare to use them. Many people said that the price of one million is too expensive. But that is because they don't know the goods. Those who really understand will understand that the value of this thing is definitely not possible to be estimated by money." The young clerk had a faint smile on his face, but from his long speech alone, one could guess how serious he was.

Fortunately, no one was watching. Otherwise, there would definitely be some people who would scold the clerk for bragging.

But Ye Bei and Lu Wensheng had seen too many things.

They just looked at the coin quietly without answering.

This copper coin was round. There was also a square hole in the middle.

Although there were such coins in the Qin Dynasty, the words on them were really abnormal.

After watching it for a while, Lu Wensheng couldn't help but say, "In the name of God, thus be everlasting and mighty great Sir, on this small coin, it is arrogant enough to dare to write these eleven characters from the Imperial Jade Seal of the Kingdom! And judging from some traces, this copper coin is more or less a few years old. But if this thing was in ancient time instead, its holder would be no different from a great sin holder if there was no consent from the monarch."

After hearing this, Ye Bei was still very indifferent.

"It really came from the Qin Dynasty, and it really came from that person." Ye Bei spoke softly.

The young clerk stepped forward, "Isn't it? I have been a clerk here for several years, sir, I think you must be someone who knows the goods. I am afraid that only sir can take this coin in this world."

Ye Bei took the coin in his hand. Then he turned around slightly and looked at the young clerk.

"How much do you know about this copper coin?" Ye Bei asked in a very low voice.

The smile on the young clerk's face remained the same.

After listening to Ye Bei's question, he hardly thought about it, and just replied, "This copper coin is called the Monarch Coin, was specially made by Qin Shihuang the First Qin Dynasty's Emperor. At the time, its appearance is no different from ordinary round square hole copper coins. However, in the whole history, there is only one piece, and there is no record about it in any historical materials too."

At this point, the clerk paused, looking at Ye Bei and Lu Wensheng.

Seeing that the expressions of the two of them didn't have much turbulence, he immediately continued, "Everyone knows the Imperial Jade Seal, which is the sea used by the emperor himself. If you get that thing, you get the destiny, but no one has ever known that this copper coin is the true God's command. According to the ancestors' rumors, there was an expert behind the founding of Emperor Qin! The Imperial Jade Seal was originally given to that expert, and the copper coin was reserved for Emperor Qin himself, but sigh, after the founding of Qin, that expert left directly, and the copper coin that Emperor Qin had forged was of no use."

After Ye Bei listened, his thoughts drifted away quietly.

But after Lu Wensheng finished listening, he turned his head and looked at Ye Bei.

Only the young clerk, after saying this, immediately looked at Ye Bei and Lu Wensheng.

In fact, over the years, if there was anyone who paid attention to this copper coin, he would these contents to them.

"Bullshit."

"You still talk about that expert? Why don't you say about the fact that Qin Shihuang burned books and buried scholars alive just to cover up some information of that expert?"

"This kind of copper coin is fake at first glance."

"One million yuan? Haha!"

Even after those people listening to this, their rude voices and swears immediately echoed in his ears.

One second

Two seconds...

Five seconds.

In the lobby, there was silence for five seconds.

In the end, the young clerk couldn't help it a bit, "Well, two gentlemen, do you believe what I just said?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Wensheng looked at the clerk and answered decisively, "Of course, I believe!"

This time, it was the clerk's turn to freeze.

After a long while, he didn't recover.

However, as time passed, the clerk's eyes became brighter and brighter.

After a long time, he faintly realized that the two people in front of him were very likely to be the ones that his ancestors asked him to wait for.
