The Charismatic Charlie Wade
Chapter 5862
Peter said hurriedly: âMaster, in the final analysis, this matter is my fault.â
âI deserve what the Routhchild family has done to me,â
âAnd I canât leave here now. If I leave, the Routhchild family will not let go my family, I canât harm
themâ¦â
Charlie was startled and asked quickly:
âUncle, what is the grudge between you and the Routhchild family?â âI heard from outside that you
stole their things?
Peter gave a wry smile and said, âI stole their things,â
âBut strictly speaking, they also stole my thingsâ¦â
As he said that, he looked at Charlie and said seriously:
âMaster, you must have many questions that have been confusing you for a long time and have not
been answered.â
âSince you have found me today, I will answer them one by one for you.â
âAfter I have answered them for you, I have one more thing to ask for!â After listening to what Peter
said, Charlie said without hesitation:
âUncle, letâs go out and talk slowly!â
âNoâ¦â Peter shook his head and said firmly: âMaster, letâs talk here.â
As he said that, he pointed at Bruce who looked dull behind Charlie, and said:
âHe is the only one who will come here recently.â
âSince he has been controlled by you, it will definitely be absolutely safe here in a short time.â
âThere are some things, I still need to explain them clearly to you as soon as possible.â
Charlie hesitated for a moment and nodded gently:
âOkay! Iâll help you heal your body first, and then we can talk.â
After that, he put his fingers on Peterâs veins, a little bit of spiritual energy entered his body,
Completely restoring his physical condition in an instant and greatly improving it.
Peter felt the earth-shaking changes in himself and said with surprise:
âIt seems that you have mastered the âNine Mysterious Heavenly Scripturesâ, young master.â
âIf your fatherâs spirit in heaven knows this news, he will be very happy!â Because Peterâs body has
greatly improved.
Charlie asked Bruce to guard outside the room, while he and Peter simply sat on the floor.
Peter first said: âMaster, what do you want to know? Just ask, and I will answer whatever I know.â
Charlie said: âUncle, letâs start with your situation. Your grudges with the
Routhchild family. Whatâs going on?â
Peter sighed and said: âOur Zhou family has been mainly engaged in the antique business in the
West these years,â
âAnd we focus on Oriental antiques. We are somewhat famous in the niche field of Oriental
antiques. This is the whole thing.â
âSo a few months ago, people from the Routhchild family came to me privately and offered me a
very high price.â
âThey wanted me to help them restore an oriental antique that only existed in unofficial records but
has never been found.â
âThe Sifang Baozhuang of the Chinese Tang Dynasty has not really come out.â
Charlie asked curiously: âBaozhuang?â
âYes.â Peter Zhou explained: âBaozhuan is a general term for a type of ancient handicrafts, which
are characterized by being similar to a miniature version to a certain extent.â
âThere are similar antique cultural relics to pagodas in all dynasties. The most famous one at this
stage is probably the Pearl Relic Pagoda of the Song Dynasty.â
âHowever, that pavilion mainly has religious significance. Although it has a shape similar to that of
the Routhchild familyâs square pavilion of the Tang Dynasty, Similar, but very different.â
After saying that, Peter added: âIn the early years, I collected a lot of Chinese antiques living
overseas, including some documents and materials from various dynasties.â
âThere have been records in ancient books one after another. At that time, Emperor Taizong of the
Tang Dynasty Li Shimin believed deeply in Buddhism and the Book of Changes.â
âHe not only sent Xuanzang to India to obtain scriptures but also summoned the Zhouyi masters
from all over the country to deduce the national destiny in Changâan City.â
âIn order to ensure the stability of the Tang Dynasty, he ordered the best craftsmen in Changâan City
at that time to build a square treasure pillar, and placed this treasure pillar in the dragon veins of the
Tang Dynasty to ensure the stability of Dynasty.â
Charlie asked curiously at this time: âCould it be that this square treasure pillar is a Feng Shui ritual
from the Book of Changes?â
âThatâs right.â Peter Zhou nodded and said: âAccording to the unofficial history I saw when Huang
Chao raised his army, he was assisted by a Zhou Yi master who broke the dragon vein of the Tang
Dynasty and removed the four treasures from the dragon vein.â
âHowever, Huang Chao did not have the emperorâs order, so the Sifang
Baozhuang could not escape the fate of failure. Therefore, the Sifang
Baozhuang later fell into the hands of Zhu Wen.â
âIt was a pity that Zhu Wen did not have any capable people who were proficient in the Book of
Changes.â
âThe Sifang Baozhuang was unable to exert its real effect in his hands. Since then, the whereabouts
of the Sifang Baozhuang have been unknown and its whereabouts are unknown.â
At this point, Peter paused for a moment and continued: âIt has been a few years since the Sifang
Baozhuang came out again.â
âA hundred years later, in the hands of Nurhaci, it is said that Nurhachi brought the Sifang
Baozhuang to Liaodong. Nurhachiâs Houjin was blessed by the Sifangbaozhuang,â
âAnd the countryâs fortune took off. It coincided with the decline of the Ming
Dynastyâs national fortune, and the Houjin continued to grow stronger.â
âBy the time of Huangtaiji, the countryâs name was The Qing Dynasty which finally successfully
entered the customs and seized the land;â
Charlie couldnât help but ask him: âIf you put it this way, these square treasures must be the
treasure of the country in the hands of the Qing royal family. How did it fall into the hands of the
Routhchild family?â
Peter sighed and said: âIn 1840, the British government launched the Opium War in China and used
all the strength of the country to dump opium to China and the entire Southeast Asia.â
âAfter forcing the Qing court to open the country, the Routhchild family brought the opium business
to China.â
âLater, they almost controlled the opium business in China and Southeast Asia. From that time on,
the Routhchild family transported large amounts of opium to China, while also transporting Chinaâs
gold, silver, tea, and various other products.â
âThe antiques were transported back to the west from China;â
âAt this time countless national treasures in China were snatched or destroyed.â
âThe two biggest flows of the national treasures stolen were the British government and the
Routhchild family.â
âToday, there are more than 20,000 Chinese cultural relics in the British
Museum, which were basically plundered from China during that period,â
âAnd the Chinese cultural relics in the hands of the Routhchild family are only no more than those in
the British Museum.â
âYoung Master, I have always heard about this before, but I didnât expect that the legendary Sifang
Baozhuang was also in their hands!â
As he spoke, Peter Zhou added: âAccording to historical records, the Sifang Baozhu is the most
important feng shui treasure. Your father and I both studied the Feng Shui of the Book of Changes
in depth.â
âAccording to the records of the Book of Changes, if you want to build this kind of important
weapon, The Feng Shui treasure requires the blessing of countless Zhouyi masters and countless
efforts to complete it.â
âHowever, the power of these four-sided Baozhuans in Feng Shui will gradually weaken over time.â
âBy the end of the Qing Dynasty, its magic power was no longer enough to protect the Dynasty. â
âHowever, this square Baozhuan has been in the hands of the Routhchild family for at least a
hundred years,â
âAnd their family has flourished and stood out among the others for so many years. I am afraid it is
closely related to this square Baozhuan;â
âSome time ago, many cracks appeared in the Sifang Baozhu itself. The Routhchild family came to
me and hoped that I could help them repair this cultural relic.â
âThey most likely thought that I could not recognize the Sifang Baozhu. After all, there was no such
thing as any on the market or records about it.â
âBut they didnât expect that I had come into contact with unofficial historical documents about the
Sifang Baozhuang,â
âSo when I saw the real thing, I recognized this treasure. In order to confirm my speculation, I
quietly made Carbon 14 identification and it indeed proved that it comes from the Tang Dynasty;â
âAfter confirming the identity of the Sifang Baozhuan, I checked the news about the Routhchild
family during that time and found that they had, indeed experienced many minor setbacks, and
even a grandson died in an accident.â
âI guessed that this must be related to the cracks in the Sifang Baozhuang, so I deliberately told the
Routhchild family that the Sifang Baozhuang had been around for too long.â
âThe aging and decay of its materials is very serious, and it is not as exquisite and religious as the
Song Zhenzhen Pearl Relic Building, and the overall value is not too high. I advise them to preserve
it statically and not to repair it by force;â
âHowever, they were willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to let me restore it, so I pretended to
be money-struck and agreed,â
âAnd told them that the restoration would take a long time, at least a few months.â
âThey would have to leave the Sifang Baozhuan with me, but people came to check on the progress
of the restoration every day,â
âAnd I also found that they had been secretly monitoring me during that time;â
âIn the process of restoring the Sifang Baozhuan, I felt more and more like this thing should not be
left in the Routhchild familyâs possession,â
âBecause it itself is a cultural relic of China, and most people do not know the
Sifang Baozhuang, or even know its existence,â
âBut it is the most significant treasure lost in the hundred years of humiliation after the war.â
âI have been working hard for many years to return the Chinese cultural relics scattered in the West
to China.â
âIf I could send these treasures back, I would probably die in peace in my life. â¦â
âSo, I took advantage of the few months of repair time to make a fake Sifang
Baozhu one by one,â
âAnd played a trick on them like a civet cat for a prince. Then I secretly hid the real Sifang Baozhu
and waited for the opportunity.â
But I thought that after giving the fake Sifang Baozhuang to the Routhchild family, I could at least
fool them for a while and win me a chance to transport it.â
âBut I didnât expect that they took the fake Sifang Baobuan. After they returned home, they
immediately did a carbon 14 test.â
âAfter they realized that my belongings had been dropped, they immediately wanted to take me
away secretly.â
âFortunately, I guarded against them. When they came to the door, I took the initiative to call the
police and surrender.â
âAfter the police intervened, the Routhchild family had to send me to Brooklyn Prisonâ¦â
