    "Brother Ma, have a sip of tea first. I have a magazine brought by a friend from Hong Kong. Do you want to read it?"

    Nie Tianbao placed the jade pendant on the coffee table. After pouring a cup of tea for "Ma Zibian", he opened the safe in the store and took out a few magazines from it.

    "Hey, it's a dragon, tiger and leopard? Old Nie, you can actually bring it out? The ones I brought last time were all checked by the customs."

    When "Ma Zibian" saw those magazines, his eyes suddenly lit up. He grabbed the magazines in his hand and said, "Old Nie, you have to give these to me later. Take your time to look at the jadeite!"  "

    "No problem, as long as Brother Ma likes it." Nie Tianbao laughed when he heard this. He finally found something about this boy's temperament. Now he won't clamor to leave, right?

    "Old Zhao, come and take a look at this."

    After playing with it for a while, Nie Tianbao handed it to Shopkeeper Zhao, who had been waiting for him for a long time, and said in a low voice: "I think this thing is the legendary imperial green, right?"

    Nie Tianbao has not been in contact with jade for a long time. He heard the idea of ??imperial green from his colleagues along the coast and in Yunnan Province. However, even those colleagues have rarely seen imperial green jade. He is also a little unsure about it.  True or false.

    "Yes, it is indeed jade. The sun-green and transparent seed water is the same as the earrings, which can reach imperial green, and the two seem to come from the same material."

    Shopkeeper Zhao took a high-power magnifying glass, put the Maitreya pendant under the strong light and looked at it for a long time, then lowered his voice and said: "There are no bubbles in this thing, it should be real. Boss, I think you can buy it!"  "

    "What's the price?" Nie Tianbao glanced at Ma Zibian, who was looking at the dragon, tiger and leopard, and said, "This guy is a young boy and doesn't know much. Let's be tougher."

    "Boss, if this is really the Empress Dowager Cixi's item, then the price would be outrageous, it could be worth at least 10 million or more!"

    Shopkeeper Zhao¡¯s voice trembled. Although he was not a jade player, Cixi loved jade all his life. Anyone in the collecting world knows this.

    Among Cixi¡¯s collections, the most famous one is naturally the jade cabbage.

    But what Shopkeeper Zhao knew was that in order to please Cixi, officials from various places sent a lot of top-quality jadeite as tribute to the court almost every year. Cixi's jadeite collection was numerous.

    Some of Cixi¡¯s collections were buried with her, just like the jade cabbage, which finally fell into the hands of the ¡°Aventurine Bandit¡± warlord Sun Dianying.

    There is also a part of the jade collection that was given to the palace guards and maids by Emperor Puyi. In addition, the palace was in chaos at that time, and the guards often stole things from it, and finally all was lost.

    Judging from the carvings of the Maitreya Buddha pendant and the pair of earrings in front of you, they are definitely made by masters, and the thick patina has a sense of ancient history. They should undoubtedly come from the Cixi collection.

    "Ten million?"

    Hearing what Shopkeeper Zhao said, Nie Tianbao quickly glanced at "Ma Zibian" and found that he was watching the dragon, tiger and leopard with great interest. Then he felt relieved and whispered: "Old Zhao, are you sure?"

    Shopkeeper Zhao nodded and said: "Boss, this imperial green material is made by someone who specializes in the jade business. You may have never seen it in your life. Plus it is used by Empress Dowager Cixi. I think ten million is still a small amount."

    Although the current market price of jade is not very high, it is aimed at ordinary jade jewelry, such as imperial green jade, which is already the best among gems.

    According to Shopkeeper Zhao, even if the pair of earrings and Buddha pendants cannot be sold in China, if they are brought to Hong Kong Island and other places, someone will definitely buy them!

    "Ten million, damn, how about hacking him?"

    A stern look flashed in Nie Tianbao's eyes. Although he was rumored to be worth hundreds of millions, in fact Nie Tianbao only had thirty or forty million. The other money was all invested by various parties and was only in his name.  .

    ¡°And even if these 30 to 40 million are mostly fixed assets, part of the millions that Nie Tianbao brought with him to Myanmar some time ago were borrowed from banks.

    So after hearing the price of this thing, Nie Tianbao was really murderous. He killed this brat and threw it into a new store, so no one would be able to find it.

    "Boss, this is not okay"

    Although shopkeeper Zhao was also a profiteer, he was not as ruthless as Nie Tianbao. He was startled after hearing his words and said, "I think the string of beads on his hand should be made of high-grade sandalwood."  , and the patina is quite thick, and it is at least fifty years old. It is not something that ordinary people can afford. I¡¯m afraid he is really a yellow belt!¡±

    "Old Zhao, what is a yellow belt?" I just heard three yellow belts from "Ma Zibian", but Nie Tianbao didn't quite understand what a yellow belt was.

      "He was a member of the royal family of the Qing Dynasty in the past. I think this guy is a well-established person. I also know the Minxue incident he mentioned" Nie Tianbao was a monk halfway in the antique shop, but Shopkeeper Zhao was different. He had a deep understanding of the Qing Dynasty.  The allusions are well known.

    The so-called yellow belt is actually another name for the Qing clan. In the first year of Chongde, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, it was stipulated that all clans below the prince should wear a golden belt to show their identity, so it was called yellow belt.

    The Yellow Belt was the backbone of the Manchu Dynasty. From Hachi's unification of the Jurchen tribes to Huang Taiji's founding of the Qing Dynasty, and Dorgon's protection of his widowed nephew's entry into the Central Plains, the Yellow Belt played a vital role.

    Therefore, the yellow belt in the early Qing Dynasty could be called the four beams and eight pillars of the Qing Dynasty, enjoying a variety of political privileges and generous treatment. Taking the prince as an example, in addition to receiving an annual salary of 10,000 taels of silver and 5,000 shi of rice, he also received a manor.  There are 50,000 to 60,000 acres of farmland and 250 households.

    When the Manchu Qing Dynasty first entered the customs, there were only a few hundred yellow belts. However, after generations of Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong, there were tens of thousands of yellow belts by the Jiaqing period.

    As the saying goes, people who have idle time to worry about nothing will cause trouble. If these idle people are just ordinary people and are governed by the law, they won't cause any big trouble. But the ones who have too much time to worry are the yellow belts with royal blood flowing on them. This trouble can be serious.  That's big.

    During that period, these idle yellow belts could often be seen on the streets. They either held bird cages in their hands, or had a sinister vulture lying on their shoulders. They were followed by a group of servants who looked like wolves and tigers, shouting and shouting on the streets.  , rampage.

    The Qing court stipulated that murder by a yellow belt would not be punished with life, and those who broke the law could only be dealt with by the imperial yamen-zongrenfu.  Tens of thousands of lawless yellow tapes, plus many fake yellow tapes that took advantage of the situation, both real and fake, demons and demons, made the stable a mess, with ghosts crying and wolves howling.

    As for the "Minxue Incident", it happened during the Jiaqing period.

    In the thirteenth year of Jiaqing, there was a yellow belt named Minxue. He drank some wine and came out of the barber shop after shaving his head. As he was walking, he suddenly saw a roasted sweet potato seller on the street.

    He raised his head and looked at the scorching sun, wondering in his heart, why is there anyone selling roasted sweet potatoes on such a hot day? Nine times out of ten, it is fake, this is the stable floor, this matter needs to be taken care of!

    So, Minxue walked to the sweet potato oven and asked, "Are your sweet potatoes real or fake?" The person roasting sweet potatoes looked up and said angrily, "How can sweet potatoes be fake?" Minxue said, "I see.  Your sweet potatoes are fake, take one and let me see."

    The sweet potato roaster glanced at Minxue and handed over a roasted sweet potato.

    Min Xue took the sweet potato and took a bite. It was really a sweet potato. He threw the sweet potato on the ground and said, "It's really not a good product! It smells like pickled radish and is unpalatable." After saying that, he turned to leave.

    The roasted sweet potato seller quit his job, grabbed Min Xue¡¯s arm, and said, ¡°You have nothing to criticize, but you have to pay for my sweet potatoes!¡±

    Minxue was used to being domineering, so he only brought one servant with him when he came out for a haircut. The master and the servant grabbed the roasted sweet potato seller and beat him hard until the roasted sweet potato seller's head and face were covered with blood, and he knelt down.  There were many pleas for mercy on the ground.

    As soon as Minxue started to take action, someone went to report to the police. Soldiers from the infantry commander's office came, restrained Minxue and put handcuffs on him. Minxue was so angry that he drank alcohol and forgot about himself.  He didn't wear the yellow belt, so he thought it was the infantry commander's yamen who wanted to make him look bad, so he cursed loudly.

    Minxue was pushed and pushed to the Duipiao House (equivalent to today's public security police station). Seeing that something was not going well, the servants ran back to the house to call for help. Not long after, a dozen servants arrived with knives and sticks.  The dormitory where Minxue was detained.

    When Minxue saw someone coming, he jumped up and ordered his servants to beat the soldiers in the warehouse. He also smashed the windows of the warehouse and pushed down the weapon racks.

    This incident happened in a downtown area, and there were many onlookers. The infantry commander's Yamen was angry and felt very shameless, so he reported Minxue directly to Emperor Jiaqing with a piece of paper.

    After Emperor Jiaqing accepted the petition, Long Yan was furious.  Since he ascended the throne, he has received constant reports of yellow belts gathering to cause trouble, killing people, wounding others, and acting lawlessly.

    Emperor Jiaqing decided to take action on Minxue. After a moment's notice of the unhealthy tendencies that had affected the state, he issued a stern decree to expel Minxue from the clan. He also slapped 40 bans outside the palace gate and sent him to Shengjing.  He was restrained and never allowed to return to Beijing.

    ??Subsequently, Emperor Jiaqing ordered the clan to report the yellow belts with misconduct, including Minxue, a total of seventy households, and were sent to Shengjing, thousands of miles away.

    "Damn it, do you think this kid's unreasonableness is inherited from our ancestors?"

    After listening to shopkeeper Zhao¡¯s words, Nie Tianbao couldn¡¯t laugh or cry. He originally thought that ¡°Ma Zibian¡± was already overbearing, but he didn¡¯t expect that his ancestors were even more lawless.
