Chapter 74
Chen Yu followed him to the study room. Horton turned the lamp on the desk, and then there was a rumbling sound, and the bookshelves moved to both sides, revealing a long corridor.

Walking in, Chen Yu glanced around, his eyes could not help showing a bit of surprise, every shelf in this secret room was filled with antiques, blue and white porcelain, golden Buddha, calligraphy and painting, ancient weapons, bronze tripod...

Dazzling!

When he was in the Old Nine Gates World, Chen Yu studied antiques with Ba Ye for a period of time, and he can be regarded as half an insider. It can be said that almost every piece of antiques here is priceless, and it can be sold at an auction house for tens of thousands of dollars. One piece, hundreds of thousands of pieces are easy.

If it is placed in the 21st century, the price is even more unimaginable.

Horton led Chen Yu to an ancient painting.

"I don't know how you know Mr. Chen, but it doesn't matter, this thing is indeed my biggest wish in China for 20 years." Holden said slowly: "It was given to my father by Her Majesty the Queen many years ago. My father gave it to me when he passed away. He said that there was a secret hidden in this painting, and that not being able to crack it was the greatest regret in his life.

I have inquired around all these years, and only know that it came from the Qing palace, and I don't know anything else. "

He looked at Chen Yu: "If Mr. Chen can help me fulfill this wish, I will consider the inspector."

consider?

Ah!
Chen Yu sneered in his heart, this old guy was really thoughtful.

But Chen Yu couldn't help it. He couldn't just put the knife on his neck and let him hand over the detective's position.

"Mr. Horton, to tell you the truth, I do know the secret of this painting." Chen Yu pointed to the human being on the painting and said, "The painting on it is the portrait of Pan Qing, one of the three ancestors of Yongxin."

"There are rumors that Patriarch Pan hid a large number of treasures in a secret place back then, just in case Yongxin fell one day, the younger generations could take out the treasures and revive Yongxin."

"baby?!"

Horton's eyes lit up when he heard it.

He likes this and collects some antiques.

"Then where are these treasures?" He couldn't help asking.

Chen Yu pointed to a poem in the lower right corner of the portrait:

"Mingkun appears in the morning when the moon sets,

Pearl hidden jade shattered by wind and thunder,
About to cast iron armor through the ages,
Laughing books and thinking about Tianlun.

Mr. Horton, you are a Chinese hand. Look, what kind of poem is this. "

"This is a poem against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. I asked a professional to ask it, but... I didn't see anything." Holden said directly.

"That's right, anti-Qing Fuming, look at the first sentence, the moon sets and the morning reveals Mingkun, Qing! This word can't be used casually at that time, it will be a word prison, if you don't do it, you will lose your head, appear here, Absolutely meaningful.

Look at the second sentence again, the pearls are hidden in the jade, and when the jade is broken, lines will appear. What are these lines called? "

"Yu!" Horton replied.

"Yes, 璸, the third sentence is about to cast iron armor for eternity, and the iron armor casts capital is related to iron.

The last sentence, laughing at the book Fengyun, the homonym of Shu, is just like the so-called Fengjuanyunshu, what word is missing? "

"Roll!" Holden's eyes lit up: "Qing! 璸! Tie! Roll!

What is this? "

"Yongxin's account book" Chen Yu said solemnly. "However, it is not an ordinary account book. It records all the major events of Yongxin in the past century and some large amounts of black accounts. It is very important to Yongxin, and Huo Tianhong regards it as his heart."

"Sir?"

"No, only Boss Huo knows the location of the iron scroll." Chen Yu shook his head.

Hearing this, Horton frowned deeply.

If this is the case, it may be very difficult for him to get the iron scroll. He knows Chinese culture very well, and the Chinese pay special attention to the things left by their ancestors. Moreover, Yongxin now controls the entire British Concession and the French Concession The black forces have great power, and it is not easy for him to offend directly.

Horton pondered for a moment, then said: "Well, Mr. Chen, if you can decipher the secret inside the iron scroll and lead me to find Yongxin's treasure, I will give you the position of inspector."

Chen Yu was secretly delighted, this was what he was waiting for.

In fact, from the perspective of God, he already knew the secrets in the iron scroll, the location of the treasure and what kind of treasure was hidden in it. Dun thought the deal was equivalent.

He pretended to hesitate for a moment, gritted his teeth, nodded and agreed: "Yes, it's a deal."

"Okay, it's a deal." Holden stroked his mustache, and his face showed joy. This was his wish for 20 years, and finally he had some clues.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Chen, my daughter Isa wants to meet you."

This is Japan's largest force in Shanghai. There are hundreds of people in the association, responsible for the security of the major chambers of commerce in Japan.

The president of the Black Dragon Club is Major General Katsuo Nakamura of the Japanese Army. His purpose of coming here is to provoke the relationship between the people of Shanghai and the British and French, so as to set off riots and prepare for the future Japanese invasion of China.

In the main pavilion, Katsuo Nakamura was sitting on the futon beside the wooden table, carefully wiping the dagger in his hand, the sharp edge was reflected in his eyes, making it look a bit sharp.

"Boom!"

There was a sound of bare feet trampling on wooden boards outside.

The voice gradually approached, "Swipe", the door of the main pavilion was opened, and a person walked in, who Chen Yu also knew.

Du Meihui!
 Brothers, the head is a bit big, and the next two or three days may be a little less, because the next volume is Hong Kong Comprehensive, I don’t know much about this aspect, and I need to learn.
