"In later generations, this jade seal disappeared and only reappeared recently. If you hadn't fixed your thoughts on the jade seal from the Qin Shihuang period, perhaps you could have identified its true value."
"But your mistake is that your thinking is already rigid. Since ancient times, there has been more than one imperial seal."
"Never mind. This is understandable. For this treasure appraisal auction, I just wanted to select some talents for Shancheng. Although the final result is not to my liking, I think my goal has been achieved."
After Master Mu explained the reason, he said something meaningful.
"Been taught a lesson."
Master Luo nodded upon hearing this and bowed to Master Mu.
Master Mu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Lin Han, Master Luo, are you interested in representing Shancheng to attend the provincial treasure appraisal conference?"
"This is the moment to win honor for Shancheng! If Shancheng can make a name for itself at the provincial treasure appraisal conference, perhaps the development of Shancheng will be different from the past!"
"The treasure appraisal industry in Shancheng will also change with each passing day!"
"Of course I am very willing to do this."
Master Luo agreed excitedly.
The biggest reason why he participated in this treasure appraisal auction was because of the provincial treasure appraisal conference. As for helping Mr. Bai win, it was just an invitation and not his main purpose.
"Maybe you can give it a try."
Lin Han said this calmly, without any big emotional upheaval like Master Luo.
If Lin Han wants to expand his strength, entering the provincial capital is the first step he needs to take.
However, if one wants to spread one's fame and influence into the provincial capital, there is more than one way, but this way is a shortcut for Lin Han.
"Well, let's announce the final results now."
Master Mu said.
"Wait a moment!"
Lin Han suddenly interrupted.
"Lin Han, do you have any objections?"
Master Mu glanced at Lin Han and asked with some confusion.
Young Master Zhou won the treasure appraisal competition. Logically, at this exciting and critical moment, Lin Han should be more excited than anyone else.
However, looking at Lin Han's expression, he did not seem excited at all, but rather had a rare sense of calmness.
"Lin Han, do you have anything else to say?"
Mr. Zhou asked.
"This imperial seal is fake and is not worth 100 million."
Lin Han's calm voice delivered the surprising information.
What's the meaning?
Is this imperial seal fake?
Not worth 100 million?
Could it be that this imperial seal is a fake?
But, how could a fake item be presented at this treasure appraisal auction?
Even if it entered the treasure appraisal auction through some unknown means, with Master Mu's ability, how could he not see it.
Could it be that Lin Han is too happy and has become silly?
But even if he was so happy that he was silly, he shouldn't say such words.
This seems a bit too nonsensical.
"What on earth is Lin Han doing? Isn't it obvious that he has won?"
"That's right, he's not going to do anything weird, is he? Please don't!"
"Lin Han, isn't the Imperial Seal you just mentioned worth 100 million?"
"What does this sentence mean? I don't quite understand. Can you explain it to me?"
Master Mu asked with interest.
"The Imperial Seal is from the reign of Emperor Taizong of Song. This is true."
"However, the imperial seal in front of us is not the imperial seal of Emperor Taizong of Song."
"What a coincidence! A few hours ago, I had the honor of seeing this imperial seal."
"And that imperial seal is still in the hands of my friend. How could this imperial seal that appears now be real?"
Lin Han said.
"So, you mean this imperial seal is fake?"
Master Mu asked.
"right!"
"That imperial seal is his family heirloom. I put a lot of effort into helping him get it back."
"Moreover, according to his personal thinking, he would never resell this jade seal."
"So, there are two possible outcomes. One is that you stole this imperial seal from my friend."
"The other possibility is that this imperial seal is a fake and not the real imperial seal."
Lin Han said with considerable testimony.
"In that case, it's fake and more convincing."
"However, it seems a bit unreasonable to say that this imperial seal is fake based on just a few words from you."
"We don't know who the friend you mentioned is, nor do we know whether this imperial seal is as you said."
"Or rather, we don't know who to believe in the truth of all this."
Master Mu said.
Judging from what Lin Han said, there are only two possible meanings. One is that this imperial seal was robbed by you.
Another meaning is that even if this imperial seal has been authenticated by Master Mu, it is still fake.
If this is the case, then the second one is indeed more credible.
Even though Master Mu is a national quasi-first-class treasure appraiser, he is still a human being after all, and humans make mistakes sometimes.
As the organizers, the Bai family and the Zhou family naturally would not do such an outrageous thing for such a jade seal.
After all, with the financial strength of the Zhou family and the Bai family, it would be no problem for them to buy any treasure.
Furthermore, the number of people they know and the treasures owned by the treasure appraisal room in their home are countless.
Any item you pick out can be used to participate in this treasure appraisal auction.
Therefore, the Bai family and the Zhou family would definitely not do such a petty thing.
Moreover, the Bai family and the Zhou family had no reason to snatch Lin Hansheng's imperial seal for this auction.
Even if it was agreed with Lin Haimei's family to buy the imperial seal, if problems arose in the end, the people to look for should be Lin Haimei's family.
Naturally, he would not cause trouble for Lin Hansheng.
In addition, after Lin Han's appraisal, this imperial seal was indeed fake and was definitely not the one passed down from Lin Hansheng's ancestors.
Naturally, the question was who had the bigger problem, and Lin Han didn't want to make it too clear.
"Okay, if that's what you're saying, then I'll make it clear."
"The imperial seal during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Song should have the words 'imperial order' engraved on the bottom, but this imperial seal does not have these two words at all."
"Based on this alone, I can conclude that this imperial seal must not be the imperial seal of Emperor Taizong of Song."
"But this jade seal is indeed from the Song Dynasty. It's just that compared to the jade seal of Emperor Taizong of Song, this one is still a little inferior."
"It's understandable if you want to fish in troubled waters in the eyes of ordinary people, but it's not okay if you want to do something secretly in the eyes of me, Lin Han."
"However, since I have said so, I believe Master Mu should have made a judgment on when the jade seal was made."
