Chapter 5862
Peter said hurriedly: “Master, in the final analysis, this matter is my fault.”
“I deserve what the Routhchild family has done to me,”
“And I can’t leave here now. If I leave, the Routhchild family will not let go my family, I can’t harm them…”
Charlie was startled and asked quickly:
“Uncle, what is the grudge between you and the Routhchild family?”
“I heard from outside that you stole their things?
Peter gave a wry smile and said, “I stole their things,”
“But strictly speaking, they also stole my things…”
As he said that, he looked at Charlie and said seriously:
“Master, you must have many questions that have been confusing you for a long time and have not been answered.”
“Since you have found me today, I will answer them one by one for you.”
“After I have answered them for you, I have one more thing to ask for!”
After listening to what Peter said, Charlie said without hesitation:
“Uncle, let’s go out and talk slowly!”
“No…” Peter shook his head and said firmly: “Master, let’s talk here.”
As he said that, he pointed at Bruce who looked dull behind Charlie, and said:
“He is the only one who will come here recently.”
“Since he has been controlled by you, it will definitely be absolutely safe here in a short time.”
“There are some things, I still need to explain them clearly to you as soon as possible.”
Charlie hesitated for a moment and nodded gently:
“Okay! I’ll help you heal your body first, and then we can talk.”
After that, he put his fingers on Peter’s veins, a little bit of spiritual energy entered his body,
Completely restoring his physical condition in an instant and greatly improving it.
Peter felt the earth-shaking changes in himself and said with surprise:
“It seems that you have mastered the “Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures”, young master.”
“If your father’s spirit in heaven knows this news, he will be very happy!”
Because Peter’s body has greatly improved.
Charlie asked Bruce to guard outside the room, while he and Peter simply sat on the floor.
Peter first said: “Master, what do you want to know? Just ask, and I will answer whatever I know.”
Charlie said: “Uncle, let’s start with your situation. Your grudges with the Routhchild family. What’s going on?”
Peter sighed and said: “Our Zhou family has been mainly engaged in the antique business in the West these years,”
“And we focus on Oriental antiques. We are somewhat famous in the niche field of Oriental antiques. This is the whole thing.”
“So a few months ago, people from the Routhchild family came to me privately and offered me a very high price.”
“They wanted me to help them restore an oriental antique that only existed in unofficial records but has never been found.”
“The Sifang Baozhuang of the Chinese Tang Dynasty has not really come out.”
Charlie asked curiously: “Baozhuang?”
“Yes.” Peter Zhou explained: “Baozhuan is a general term for a type of ancient handicrafts, which are characterized by being similar to a miniature version to a certain extent.”
“There are similar antique cultural relics to pagodas in all dynasties. The most famous one at this stage is probably the Pearl Relic Pagoda of the Song Dynasty.”
“However, that pavilion mainly has religious significance. Although it has a shape similar to that of the Routhchild family’s square pavilion of the Tang Dynasty, Similar, but very different.”
After saying that, Peter added: “In the early years, I collected a lot of Chinese antiques living overseas, including some documents and materials from various dynasties.”
“There have been records in ancient books one after another. At that time, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty Li Shimin believed deeply in Buddhism and the Book of Changes.”
“He not only sent Xuanzang to India to obtain scriptures but also summoned the Zhouyi masters from all over the country to deduce the national destiny in Chang’an City.”
“In order to ensure the stability of the Tang Dynasty, he ordered the best craftsmen in Chang’an City at that time to build a square treasure pillar, and placed this treasure pillar in the dragon veins of the Tang Dynasty to ensure the stability of Dynasty.”
Charlie asked curiously at this time: “Could it be that this square treasure pillar is a Feng Shui ritual from the Book of Changes?”
“That’s right.” Peter Zhou nodded and said: “According to the unofficial history I saw when Huang Chao raised his army, he was assisted by a Zhou Yi master who broke the dragon vein of the Tang Dynasty and removed the four treasures from the dragon vein.”
“However, Huang Chao did not have the emperor’s order, so the Sifang Baozhuang could not escape the fate of failure. Therefore, the Sifang Baozhuang later fell into the hands of Zhu Wen.”
“It was a pity that Zhu Wen did not have any capable people who were proficient in the Book of Changes.”
“The Sifang Baozhuang was unable to exert its real effect in his hands. Since then, the whereabouts of the Sifang Baozhuang have been unknown and its whereabouts are unknown.”
At this point, Peter paused for a moment and continued: “It has been a few years since the Sifang Baozhuang came out again.”
“A hundred years later, in the hands of Nurhaci, it is said that Nurhachi brought the Sifang Baozhuang to Liaodong. Nurhachi’s Houjin was blessed by the Sifangbaozhuang,”
“And the country’s fortune took off. It coincided with the decline of the Ming Dynasty’s national fortune, and the Houjin continued to grow stronger.”
“By the time of Huangtaiji, the country’s name was The Qing Dynasty which finally successfully entered the customs and seized the land;”
Charlie couldn’t help but ask him: “If you put it this way, these square treasures must be the treasure of the country in the hands of the Qing royal family. How did it fall into the hands of the Routhchild family?”
Peter sighed and said: “In 1840, the British government launched the Opium War in China and used all the strength of the country to dump opium to China and the entire Southeast Asia.”
“After forcing the Qing court to open the country, the Routhchild family brought the opium business to China.”
“Later, they almost controlled the opium business in China and Southeast Asia. From that time on, the Routhchild family transported large amounts of opium to China, while also transporting China’s gold, silver, tea, and various other products.”
“The antiques were transported back to the west from China;”
“At this time countless national treasures in China were snatched or destroyed.”
“The two biggest flows of the national treasures stolen were the British government and the Routhchild family.”
“Today, there are more than 20,000 Chinese cultural relics in the British Museum, which were basically plundered from China during that period,”
“And the Chinese cultural relics in the hands of the Routhchild family are only no more than those in the British Museum.”
“Young Master, I have always heard about this before, but I didn’t expect that the legendary Sifang Baozhuang was also in their hands!”
As he spoke, Peter Zhou added: “According to historical records, the Sifang Baozhu is the most important feng shui treasure. Your father and I both studied the Feng Shui of the Book of Changes in depth.”
“According to the records of the Book of Changes, if you want to build this kind of important weapon, The Feng Shui treasure requires the blessing of countless Zhouyi masters and countless efforts to complete it.”
“However, the power of these four-sided Baozhuans in Feng Shui will gradually weaken over time.”
“By the end of the Qing Dynasty, its magic power was no longer enough to protect the Dynasty. “
“However, this square Baozhuan has been in the hands of the Routhchild family for at least a hundred years,”
“And their family has flourished and stood out among the others for so many years. I am afraid it is closely related to this square Baozhuan;”
“Some time ago, many cracks appeared in the Sifang Baozhu itself. The Routhchild family came to me and hoped that I could help them repair this cultural relic.”
“They most likely thought that I could not recognize the Sifang Baozhu. After all, there was no such thing as any on the market or records about it.”
“But they didn’t expect that I had come into contact with unofficial historical documents about the Sifang Baozhuang,”
“So when I saw the real thing, I recognized this treasure. In order to confirm my speculation, I quietly made Carbon 14 identification and it indeed proved that it comes from the Tang Dynasty;”
“After confirming the identity of the Sifang Baozhuan, I checked the news about the Routhchild family during that time and found that they had, indeed experienced many minor setbacks, and even a grandson died in an accident.”
“I guessed that this must be related to the cracks in the Sifang Baozhuang, so I deliberately told the Routhchild family that the Sifang Baozhuang had been around for too long.”
“The aging and decay of its materials is very serious, and it is not as exquisite and religious as the Song Zhenzhen Pearl Relic Building, and the overall value is not too high. I advise them to preserve it statically and not to repair it by force;”
“However, they were willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to let me restore it, so I pretended to be money-struck and agreed,”
“And told them that the restoration would take a long time, at least a few months.”
“They would have to leave the Sifang Baozhuan with me, but people came to check on the progress of the restoration every day,”
“And I also found that they had been secretly monitoring me during that time;”
“In the process of restoring the Sifang Baozhuan, I felt more and more like this thing should not be left in the Routhchild family’s possession,”
“Because it itself is a cultural relic of China, and most people do not know the Sifang Baozhuang, or even know its existence,”
“But it is the most significant treasure lost in the hundred years of humiliation after the war.”
“I have been working hard for many years to return the Chinese cultural relics scattered in the West to China.”
“If I could send these treasures back, I would probably die in peace in my life. …”
“So, I took advantage of the few months of repair time to make a fake Sifang Baozhu one by one,”
“And played a trick on them like a civet cat for a prince. Then I secretly hid the real Sifang Baozhu and waited for the opportunity.”
But I thought that after giving the fake Sifang Baozhuang to the Routhchild family, I could at least fool them for a while and win me a chance to transport it.”
“But I didn’t expect that they took the fake Sifang Baobuan. After they returned home, they immediately did a carbon 14 test.”
“After they realized that my belongings had been dropped, they immediately wanted to take me away secretly.”
“Fortunately, I guarded against them. When they came to the door, I took the initiative to call the police and surrender.”
“After the police intervened, the Routhchild family had to send me to Brooklyn Prison…”
