1071. Chapter 36 The Three Wails of Money in the Silver Box The next wrench of the banknote
The silver box is about 30 centimeters long, 20 centimeters wide, and 15 centimeters high.
There are some uneven patterns on the silver box, which must be the masterpiece of Ran Ruzhai - or the ancestors of the Ran family, who have been processing gold and silver jewelry and utensils for generations, so there are more silverware at home (you should still remember the silver urinal that Ran Shikai prepared to take away).
The silver box has a small old-fashioned copper lock.
Ma Mingyang took out a copper strip with a square frame on his head from his bag, inserted it into the keyhole, pushed it forward hard, and the lock opened.
Yan Jianhua took off the copper lock and opened the lid of the box, and there were three stacks of banknotes, two stacks of 100-yuan bills and a stack of 50-yuan bills in the silver box. Each pile of banknotes was wound twice with a cowhide band, and each pile of banknotes was divided into a small pile of 1,000 yuan.
"Old Yan, there seems to be something down there." Ma Mingyang pointed to a stack of 100-yuan bills.
The middle part of the pile of bills rises high.
Yan Jianhua picked up the banknote, and there was indeed something underneath, and the eyes of the two people lit up, and what made the eyes of the two people light up was a green wrench.
The wrench is green all over and looks crystal clear; There was a dragon coiled around the wrench, and the dragon had a bead in its mouth.
On the inner wall of the wrench is carved a square, and inside the square is carved two words. The font is seal, the word below is a bit like "Wen", and the word above is not recognized by Yan Jianhua.
Yan Jianhua felt that this dragon-shaped wrench was very unusual, this wrench was obviously the emperor's exclusive jewelry, and the ancestor of the Ran family processed custom jewelry for the royal family members in the Ming Jiugong Division, and it was possible to come into contact with the emperor's exclusive jewelry. Could this wrench be related to the old object that has been passed down from generation to generation of the Ran family, that is, family heirlooms?
Yan Jianhua took away the wrench, and put the other things away as they were.
Ma Mingyang locked the door of Ran Shimei's house, and when Yan Jianhua walked towards the second entrance, two women walked into the third aisle, these two women, one was about sixty years old, and the other was about thirty-five years old, and the young woman was carrying a vegetable basket on her right arm, and the vegetable basket was full of vegetables.
These two women are Ran Shixiong's mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Due to the sudden appearance of these two people, Yan Jianhua had to give up his original plan, and Ran Shixiong and Ran Shijie's homes could not be entered.
Yan Jianhua was anxious to know the origin of the wrench, and besides, the matter of Ran Shimei's family still had a tail, and without a special reason, this wrench still had to be put back in its original place.
The two of them returned to the front yard of Ran's house non-stop.
The conversation between Chen Jie and Ran Shixiong continued.
Yan Jianhua pushed open the door of the silversmith shop, showed his face, and Ouyang Ping walked out.
The two men came into the alley.
"Lao Yan, how's the situation?"
"We only entered Ran Shimei's house, and Ran Shixiong's mother-in-law and sister-in-law suddenly came back. Ran Shimei's shoes are size thirty-eight, and we have a major discovery in Ran Shimei's house. Look—" Yan Jianhua said as he pulled out a wrench from his bag.
Ouyang Ping took the wrench, looked at it carefully, and then said, "I'll call Professor Gu now and ask him to come over immediately." If it's what we're looking for, there's no need to put it back. When the time comes, we will depend on the situation. ”
Ouyang Ping's feeling was exactly the same as Yan Jianhua's, and he also felt that this wrench was extraordinary. If we can figure out the origin of this wrench, maybe it will help the case at hand.
