第七十九章 无名玉传

正当楚天在犹豫要不要把瞎王送去医院的时候,瞎王睡了一会儿,居然醒了.他开始在床上摸索.楚天连忙走过来,道:"老夫,你在找什么?我可以帮你弄来.

 

瞎王喃喃自语道:"那个盘子,我装钱的盘子.

 

楚天差点头晕目眩.为什么盲王一开口就提到钱-持盘呢?这个盘子会不会是某种财富聚集盘子?难道他每次取出来,都能拿到几千块钱?否则,这个老头在街上弹二胡的时候,为什么会有那么多一百块钱的钞票呢?否则,为什么老人一醒就永远不会忘记他的盘子呢?

 

楚天虽然有这些想法,但看到瞎王伤势如此严重,随时可能死去,在谈话中,他并不想违背自己的意愿.他赶紧把那个所谓的聚财盘拿来,放在了瞎王的手里.当然,他也把那十几张大额的钞票放进去,免得瞎王怀疑他贪财.毕竟,在这个时代,做一个好撒玛利亚人也伴随着风险.

 

没想到,瞎王挥了挥手,一扫而空.他干枯的手在盘子里摸索着,然后用力挖了挖,一块晶莹剔透的玉石出现在他的手中.然后,他松了一口气,开始用充满爱意的表情抚摸它.楚天心跳加速.难道这就是张扬峰说的那块价值五百万的"无名玉"吗?如果是这样,这个老头真的很了不起.他居然把一块价值五百万的玉藏在一个乞丐的盘子里,还有十几张一百元的钞票.如果这件事传出去,连鬼魂都大概不会相信.

 

抚摸了一会儿玉石后,瞎王突然开口道:"小伙子,既然我们命中注定,我有个无礼的要求.我想知道你是否同意?

 

楚天暗暗叹了口气.会不会是请他当徒弟,还是不远万里把玉送给别人?但他还是说:"老头子,请你走吧.如果这是我的能力范围,我一定会去做.

 

瞎王叹了口气,道:"我想把'无名玉'送给你.

 

楚天吓得差点摔倒.他没想到盲王会提出这样的要求.他应该装高拒绝,还是毫不犹豫地拿下这块价值五百万的玉石?然后,想到张扬峰一伙,楚天就知道这件'无名玉'是一件珍贵的物品.对于没有能力保护的人来说,拥有它只会带来无尽的麻烦,甚至招致致命的灾难.意外之财不一定是福气.他有点犹豫.

 

瞎王显然看穿了楚天的想法.他缓缓坐起,靠在墙上,道:"少年,这玉石的财富和危险交织在一起.在做出决定之前,请听听我接下来要说什么.我绝对不会强迫你.如果你真的不想接受,我不会坚持.

 

1860 年 7 月（咸丰十年）,英法侵略舰队再次抵达大沽郊外.他们以英法使节赴京交换条约为借口,不仅以武力推进,还以所谓"和谈"为诱惑,同时不断制造障碍.他们的目的是在首都驻军,迫使清政府屈服.腐败无能的清政府谦卑地乞求和平,犹豫了很久,没有做出战争或防御的决定.侵略者直奔通州.9 月 21 日,清军在通州八里桥之战中战败.第二天一早,咸丰帝匆匆忙忙地从圆明园逃到承德山庄.他称之为"北视",但实际上,他抛弃了祖地,逃命,留下京城无主,官吏四散,士兵灰心丧气,百姓极度恐惧.

 

10 月 6 日,英法联军绕过北京东北郊区,直奔圆明园.当时,僧哥仁钦和瑞林的残余部队在北郊进行了短暂的抵抗,然后逃跑了.法军先行进.当天下午,他们穿过海淀,傍晚到达圆明园正门.此时,圆明园中二十多名拥有特殊技能的太监,在德才门内与敌人交战.他们"不怕危险,勇敢地向前战斗",但最终,他们寡不敌众.圆明园熟练太监的"八品首领"任梁等人牺牲了自己的生命.到晚上 7 点,法国侵略者已经占领了圆明园.负责花园的大臣温峰在福海中溺水身亡.

 

When Blind Wang talked about this humiliating history of China, he seemed a bit excited and coughed a few times. Chu Tian quickly said he would pat his back for him. Chu Tian knew that Blind Wang's main point hadn't been reached yet.

 

Sure enough, after taking a short break, Blind Wang said, "What I said above is history. Now, I'm going to tell you a legend. It is said that the night before Wen Feng, the minister in charge of the garden, drowned himself in the Sea of Blessings, he had a premonition that once the Allied Forces entered the Old Summer Palace, they couldn't resist the temptation and would loot it wantonly. So, he led those more than twenty eunuchs with special skills in the Old Summer Palace to secretly move some of the most valuable treasures in the Old Summer Palace to a hidden place for storage. Only they knew where the treasures were hidden. Wen Feng, the minister in charge of the garden, was very thoughtful. He was afraid that something might happen to his group, causing those most valuable treasures to be buried underground forever. So, using his skill in carving, he engraved profound marks indicating the treasure's location on a jade stone, in case something happened to him and there would be a clue for others to find the treasures."

 

Chu Tian nodded. So, there was such a legend. No wonder someone was willing to pay five million to Zhang Yangfeng and his gang for this 'Nameless Jade'.

 

Blind Wang obviously hadn't finished yet. He took a breath and continued the story.

 

On October 6, all those more than twenty eunuchs died. Wen Feng, the minister in charge of the garden, was determined to live and die with the Old Summer Palace and decided to commit suicide to atone for his sins. Before drowning himself in the Sea of Blessings, he gave the jade to his confidant, Wang Siming, told him the importance of the jade, and asked him to pass it on to the emperor. Then he drowned himself. Wang Siming, with the jade in hand, rushed into the city to look for the emperor. However, due to the chaos of war, he was injured by roaming soldiers. On the verge of death, Wang Siming gave the jade to his son, Wang Yongyong. Seeing the Old Summer Palace burned down, Wang Yongyong thought that those treasures must have been burned as well. So, instead of entering the Forbidden City to give the jade to the royal family, he fled the war - torn capital. Since then, the 'Nameless Jade' with its secret has been passed down among the people. It was passed down from Wang Yongyong until it reached Blind Wang's hands. But neither the ancestors with good eyesight nor Blind Wang himself could find any clues on the jade. The 'Nameless Jade' looked just like it was newly dug out, without any marks. As time went by, the Wang family didn't take it seriously either. They just regarded it as a family - heirloom and passed it down from generation to generation. No one tried to figure out the treasure - finding clues anymore.

 

Chu Tian asked curiously, "Then how did Zhang Yangfeng and his gang know about it?"

 

Blind Wang gave a sad smile and said, "I've been blind since I was a child, but I've also read a lot of books and practiced martial arts for self - defense. When I learned about this legend, I became very depressed because I couldn't see. Even if those treasures still existed, I couldn't find them. So, at that time, I became fond of drinking, and I wasn't careful with my words. I told others about this family secret."
