Chapter 199 Zhu Houcong's Bloodstone



The handsome man, Xiahou Ji, showed a look of surprise when he heard Lin Han say this.

This situation is rare, so the old man with white hair and beard beside him asked him hesitantly: "Why? Do you want to take another look?"

Xiahou Ji was very honest in what he said and did. He thought for a moment, then returned the bloodstone seal to the old man: "I'm really not sure about this, so please take a look at it, old sir!"

This should be an excuse. Everyone can see that Xiahou Ji's level is much higher than this old man.

Sure enough, the old man took the bloodstone seal, looked at it over and over for a while, and finally raised his head and asked Lin Han: "You quoted 60 million, you should at least tell me the reason!"

Lin Han said in a very disdainful voice: "Mr. Hong invited you here, is it just to show off? If you can't even see such a small thing, I think you don't need to stay here anymore!"

His words were not very hurtful, but they were extremely insulting. For a moment, the old man's face turned red and white, and he was at a loss.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, a loud voice came from the hallway: "Who is so arrogant? How dare you fire Mr. Ma?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Academician Luo who was the final evaluator in the inner field.

As if he had seen a savior, the old man waved to Academician Luo and said, "Academician, please come over and take a look. This young man said that his chicken blood stone seal is worth 60 million!"

"Oh? So arrogant?"

Academician Luo raised his eyebrows in surprise. When he walked to Lin Han's side, he recognized her as the one who brought the natural bezoar as a gift. He was also slightly startled.

"So it's you, let me see it."

With the natural bezoar as the base, Academician Luo believed that it was impossible for Lin Han to fill in the gaps.

Holding the bloodstone seal, Academician Luo looked at it carefully.

"this……"

He looked at it for nearly ten seconds, then looked up with some confusion, looking quite hesitant.

What?

Even Academician Luo was not sure about this bloodstone seal, which is a very rare situation.

Academician Luo only takes two or three seconds to see things.

Although he was not born with golden eyes like Xiahou Ji, he had solid basic knowledge and rich experience. It was estimated that he had seen more treasures than the average appraiser had seen fakes!

Moreover, Academician Luo has no desire or interest in power, money, or sex.

He is totally blindly engaged in antique appraisal!

It was because of this that he was invited by Mr. Hong to be the chief appraiser.

But even he was at a loss when faced with Lin Han's bloodstone seal.

"Academician, what do you mean..."

The old man looked at Academician Luo and asked carefully.

Academician Luo's mind was entirely on the seal.

He held the bloodstone in his hand, rubbing it with his thumb and index finger.

It was as if he was trying to use his fingers to sense the origin of the bloodstone.

After a long time, he looked up at Lin Han with a focused gaze. He didn't pay any attention to the wealthy businessmen watching nearby, nor did he take his qualifications as the chief appraiser to heart.

"Mr. Lin Han, chicken blood stone is indeed the king of seals. This one of yours... is engraved with Hundred Soldiers and Ten Steps. As far as I know, the captain of a hundred households in the Ming Dynasty would usually have this kind of seal when leading troops to war..."

He was halfway through his speech when he was a little afraid to continue. Instead, he looked at Lin Han, waiting for him to continue.

At this time, more and more wealthy businessmen gathered around.

Among them were those leaders of the Ministry of Culture who knew Lin Han.

There are also people who have done business with Lin Han.

But there are more wealthy businessmen who are preparing to hand over their collections to Xiahou Ji and others for appraisal.

These wealthy businessmen are eager to have the opportunity to curry favor with Academician Luo.

Now seeing that Lin Han was actually challenging Academician Luo, he couldn't help but stand on Academician Luo's side.

"Is this guy crazy about money? He even dares to question Academician Luo?"

"Academician Luo, I support you! This kid's bloodstone seal is only worth three or five hundred thousand! If you want to sell it for 60 million, you're just dreaming!"

"Hahaha!"

There was a burst of laughter from the people around.

Shen Ting laughed even harder.

After being intercepted by Lin Han, his girlfriend entered the inner field with the help of Lin Han.

I'm afraid they are preparing for an uprising!

Now that Shen Ting has finally found Lin Han’s weakness, how can he let it go?

"To be honest, I still have two pieces of bloodstone at home. If it doesn't work, I'll give you one. Lin Han, don't cheat here! We are all decent people, how are you going to survive in the future?"

"That's right! Don't waste our time!"

"You're just hanging around here, but we're going in for real!"

The wealthy businessmen thought Lin Han was wasting time and urged him to hurry up.

Lin Han stood tall and signaled with his eyes to Zhuang Yao, Ge Fu and Mo Xing'er behind him not to talk too much.

At this time, Hong Huohuo had been called back by the Hong family's housekeeper to prepare for the banquet.

"Among you, is there anyone here who can clearly explain the origin and history of the collection in your hands?"

Lin Han stood with his hands behind his back, his calm gaze swept over the heads of the crowd. He seemed not to be looking at them, but he took in all their reactions.

"You are such a blind person who just follows the crowd and has no knowledge. How dare you ask me to give way?"

His voice was as clear as running water under the snow, and his eyes were as sharp as swords.

With just two sentences, all the wealthy businessmen present shut up.

"Academician Luo, you were only partially right. These words are indeed engraved on the centurion's seal, but do you know whose seal it is?"

hiss……

Academician Luo blinked and subconsciously asked the old man and Xia Houji for help.

Who would have thought that the old man would just stroke his beard and glance at the ceiling guiltily.

Even Xia Houji, who always had a heavy idol image, used his slender fingers to cover his eyes.

It seems to be saying, don’t ask me, I don’t know either!

Academician Luo cupped his hands and asked Lin Han respectfully, "I'd like to hear more about it!"

"Academician, have you ever heard of Qi Jiguang?"

Who doesn’t know Qi Jiguang?

A famous general who fought against the Japanese invaders!

There was an uproar at the scene.

The fastest one rushed to the front and answered for Academician Luo.

Academician Luo knew that the answer could not be so simple.

So he nodded again and asked Lin Han: "What's next?"

"There was a cavalryman under Qi Jiguang who was originally a farmer. He followed General Qi Jiguang to fight against the Japanese invaders... Later, this farmer was promoted all the way and eventually became the leader of the Jinyiwei."

ah?

What Lin Han said was too legendary, yet fascinating.

It seemed like unofficial history, and even Academician Luo was hearing it for the first time.

When Lin Han talked about these things, he knew them all by heart, as if he had experienced them personally.

"This chicken blood stone seal was specially made by the then Jiajing Emperor, Zhu Houcong, to reward Qi Jiguang, a Jinyiwei who started out as a centurion!"
