Chapter 411 Historical text
“Conspiracy! It was a conspiracy from the beginning!”
Listening to the familiar dialogue from the recording, Iwasaki Yuhei’s heart at this time was just Such an angry cry.
Who would have thought that just by meeting with Director Li, he would be left with clues and evidence.
But why?
At that time, he had not expressed his intention at all.
When a normal person meets a stranger for the first time and doesn’t even know why the other person is there, would he want to leave a record of the conversation?
Life is about meeting for the first time, so why bother recording the entire process?
What kind of twisted vigilance is this?
Show off the large capacity of your mobile phone!
He never believed that this was Li Haitao's unintentional move. Judging from the current situation, this recording was clearly a trap for him!
No wonder the originally foolproof plan failed inexplicably!
Li Haitao! It was definitely this Li Haitao who stabbed me in the back!
I originally thought I was looking for a young man, but I didn’t expect that he would play Infernal Affairs for me!
It’s hard to guard against it!
This old man is too stupid!
It’s just that he couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he tried. He was not clean himself. Do you really think he would be lenient if he confessed?
Those who steal cultural relics if the amount is extremely large will be sentenced to more than ten years in prison or life imprisonment, and their property may even be confiscated!
Don’t the other party understand that even if he plays "self-destruction", he Iwasaki Yuhei will not necessarily be in trouble because he has the backing of the Iwasaki family, but he Li Haitao is definitely beyond redemption!
Is this Li Haitao a member of the death squad?
So brave?
Obviously it is unreasonable, so after ruling out everything, the only possibility is...
Before he coerced Li Haitao, he was already controlled by others!
"Iwasaki Yuhei, the matter has come to this, and you still refuse to give an honest account?"
Faced with the police's questioning, Iwasaki Yuhei seemed not to have heard.
After thinking about the "ins and outs", there was only one huge mystery left in his mind...
Who was plotting against Li Haitao behind his back?
All our actions are obviously under the eyes of the other party, but how did the other party know the plan in advance and prepare such a vicious trap?
Did I miss the mark in advance, or...
Someone in the family wants to harm me?
……
Kyoto, Iwasaki family.
"Ping!" "Trash!" Hanzo Iwasaki smashed the valuable antique tea cup in his hand with an angry look.
What he didn’t expect was that not only did he not get his things back, but he was also arrested!
As soon as the news came back, he was ready to kick the grandson of Iwasaki Yuhei out of the family.
The top Fuso chaebol family actually went to China to steal cultural relics. This is no small matter.
This is different from the previous "Escort Car Robbery" in which several minor and insignificant characters were arrested, and their influence is completely different.
Even Consul General Chisong in Magic City called him personally just now.
It is said that Hua Guo has privately expressed strong dissatisfaction on this matter, with many complaints and worries in his tone. He hopes that the Iwasaki family can come forward to calm Hua Guo's anger.
Obviously the consulate has already settled this matter.
The reason why it has not been made public and brought to the surface yet is because this matter has already involved Fuso powerful people.
The two parties have already formed a tacit understanding, and the senior management generally adheres to the principle of "keeping a thin line in life so that we can meet each other easily in the future". In this case, they usually do not break up directly.
You give me three points of thin noodles, and I will give you a few steps.
Otherwise, once the struggle becomes public, conflicts will inevitably intensify and the situation will become uncontrollable.
This would destroy the tacit political understanding between the two parties that "fight without breaking".
For example, when the Fuso agent was arrested before, the incident was reduced to a trivial matter. Ordinary people could not detect the secret infighting at all.
This can also be seen from the side of Fuso’s influence in China.
Thanks to China's poverty and weakness after World War II, Fuso made huge investments in various domestic fields in China, spending a lot of money to bundle interests and build a network of relationships.
And realized the power of ideology early, and tried his best to support the "Jingri" brick family.
Those with a discerning eye can find that although the two sides have a bloody feud, in just a few decades, the notorious Southern Peninsula has come from behind and has become the number one "negative image ambassador"...
The tacit understanding between the two parties has developed to the present, with registered dignitaries like Yuhei Iwasaki.
Even if you commit an offense on the other party's territory, as long as you can pay a corresponding price to redeem yourself, you can naturally maintain your status as a "respectable person".
But similarly, if a satisfactory explanation cannot be given, then Iwasaki Yuhei may have to follow the "normal procedure" and spend a few years in prison...
"Grandpa, calm down, actually. Brother Yuhei cannot be entirely blamed for this."
In the room, a handsome young man in his early twenties spoke up to persuade him.
Iwasaki Hanzo was still angry, "Hideyoshi, you don't have to excuse him. No matter what the reason is, he must be blamed for the outcome of the matter!"
Iwasaki Hideyoshi, the youngest direct heir of the Iwasaki family.
As the youngest son of a chaebol family, Iwasaki Hideyoshi has always been the most favored by Iwasaki Hanzo.
Together with Iwasaki Yuhei, he is considered to be the strongest contender to be the next head of the Iwasaki family.
In Fuso, a country famous for its longevity, this phenomenon of skipping inheritance is not uncommon.
Although the current head of the family, Hanzo Iwasaki, is already ninety years old, if he is "maintained" well, it won't be a big problem if he continues to live for more than ten or twenty years.
How can the second generation, who are already gray-haired, compete with the energetic third generation in their thirties and forties?
Is Iwasaki Hideyoshi ambitious?
Of course there is!
At this time, although he appeared to be a "brother and brother," and went out of his way to excuse Yuhei Iwasaki, a competitor, he was actually laughing secretly in his heart.
I let you take the credit, but this time it’s fine. I didn’t get the credit, and I even got involved...
But Iwasaki Yuhei was really wronged in this matter.
I can only say that the Chinese... are so cunning!
"Grandpa, please calm down and don't let your anger break your body.
In my opinion, although this matter is troublesome, with the energy of our Iwasaki family, as long as we are willing to spend some money, , it is not difficult to eliminate the impact. "
"Hmph! Do you think I feel sorry for the money?" Iwasaki Hanzo still had a livid face.
"That grandpa is..."
Iwasaki Hanzo did not answer.
He doesn't care whether Iwasaki Yuhei can come back.
What he cares about is...whether the Buddha Head can come back!
He has many grandchildren, but only one Buddha head!
I didn’t expect that Yuhei Iwasaki, who was always very capable, would stumble this time!
The successive failures can be said to be self-defeating, and his chances of snatching the Buddha's head have become increasingly slim...
"Hideyoshi! I want you to go to China immediately!"
Iwasaki Hideyoshi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the purpose of Hanzo calling him over.
"Okay grandpa, do you want me to bring brother Yuhei back?"
"Well! It is up to you to decide how to appease China. You can use the resources of the Iwasaki family!
But this is just one of them, I asked you to go to China for another reason!"
Iwasaki Hideyoshi's eyes flashed. "But because of that Buddha head?"
Iwasaki Yuhei was curious. He, Iwasaki Hideyoshi, was also very curious about Hanzo's persistence.
Just a Buddha head, how charming it is?
Iwasaki Hanzo seemed to see through his mind. He hesitated for a moment and looked at his favorite grandson in front of him, as if he had finally made some kind of decision.
"Hideyoshi, come with me!"
Iwasaki Hideyoshi was confused and didn't know where Hanzo was taking him, but when he saw that his grandfather had turned around and left without explaining, he could only follow quickly. .
The two of them walked along the classical courtyard and came to a small house in the middle of the lake.
Iwasaki Hideyoshi naturally knew that this was his grandfather's study, and outsiders were not allowed to approach it at all on weekdays.
Not only is it heavily guarded, but it is also surrounded by water and is extremely confidential.
But...what did grandpa bring me here for?
Iwasaki Hanzo walked into the study, confirmed that there were only two people in the room, and the nearest guard was dozens of meters away, and then he slowly spoke.
“Are you curious, why do I have to get this Buddha head?”
"Of course grandpa likes Chinese antiquities, but since you said so, is it possible that there is another mystery to this Buddha head?"
Iwasaki Hideyoshi was full of doubts, but he was vaguely aware that Iwasaki Hanzo, who was so solemn about his matter, What I am about to say to him next is absolutely no small matter!
"Originally, I should have waited until the day you succeeded as the head of the family to tell you this secret.
But now...it doesn't hurt to tell you in advance..."
< br>"Family...the head of the family?!"
Iwasaki Hideyoshi's eyes widened.
This...you choose me to be the next head of the family?
The happiness came so suddenly that he didn't know how to react.
But...how did the successor head of the family get involved with that Buddha head?
“Originally, I wanted to choose between you and Yuhei as the head of the family, but Yuhei really disappointed me this time.
Hideyoshi, although you are young, in my opinion, in terms of mental talent, you are better than Yuhei.
This time you go to China, no matter what means you use, the day you return to the Iwasaki family with the Buddha head will be the moment for you to succeed as the head of the family! "
"This..."
Iwasaki Hideyoshi looked shocked.
He thought that this Buddha head was of great significance to Hanzo, but he never expected that this Can the Buddha head directly determine the position of the head of the family?
"Gu~" Faced with Hanzo's very tempting promise, he couldn't help but swallow.
Suppressing the excitement and excitement in his heart, Iwasaki Hideyoshi asked the biggest question in his heart at this time.
"Grandpa, what is the secret behind this Buddha head?"
Iwasaki Hanzo was silent for a long time, slowly stood up, and took out a simple scroll from a hidden compartment under the knife rest. ......
"What is this?" Iwasaki Hideyoshi asked.
Hanzo did not speak, but slowly unfolded the scroll. Iwasaki Hideyoshi stared at the scroll, as if he was afraid of missing a detail.
"A flower blooms with two faces, and life is between Buddha and demon..."
Iwasaki Hideyoshi slowly read out the Chinese characters on the scroll.
Wrinkled his brows, not understanding the meaning of the sentence written above.
But Hanzo continued to unroll the scroll...
Soon, an ink painting slowly appeared in front of Iwasaki Hideyoshi. This time he saw what was painted on it at a glance...
"Buddha head?"
Hanzo stroked it carefully The expression on the scroll is a little complicated.
“Yes, this is the Buddha’s head, exactly the same as the one in Magic City!
Then do you know who painted this calligraphy and painting?”
"Who?"
"Jianzhen!"
"Jian...Jianzhen great monk?!" Iwasaki Hideyoshi was shocked again.
What Iwasaki Yuhei said before, that the Iwasaki family is the descendant of the great monk Shito, is not a fabrication.
In this regard, the ancestors of the Iwasaki family were direct disciples of the great monk Jianzhen.
"This Buddha head is from the Tang Dynasty, and the great monk Jianzhen was also from the Tang Dynasty. It is not surprising that he painted such calligraphy and paintings." Iwasaki Hideyoshi suddenly realized.
“That’s right! This scroll was obtained by the Iwasaki family’s ancestor, Monk Situo, from Jianzhen.
Back then, my ancestor accompanied Fuso during the six voyages and never left her. It can be said that Jianzhen's most trusted disciple finally received Jianzhen's inheritance."
"Is this secret... related to the great monk Jianzhen?" Iwasaki Hideyoshi asked.
“Well! That was a thousand years ago, a piece of unknown history that has long been buried in the past.
All that is left is this calligraphy and painting, and the biggest secret that our Iwasaki family has passed down orally from generation to generation..."
Hanzo's cloudy eyes gained a little more sparkle, and he said leisurely and fascinatedly.
"Thousands of years ago, the great monk Jianzhen was in Luoyang, the sacred capital, and had the honor to witness the glorious history of the Empress of the Tang Dynasty.
And his master’s name is certainly familiar to you. ”
“Who? ”
"Xue Huaiyi!"
"Uh... that Xue Huaiyi who is said to be the face of the empress?" Iwasaki Hideyoshi's eyes widened.
Is he a master of appraisal?
How bizarre!
The Iwasaki family has a family rule that seems very strange to outsiders, that is, the children of the family must enter Jingjiatang Bunko since childhood to learn Chinese characters and culture.
Therefore, the children of the Iwasaki family know more about Chinese history than those Chinese students who have received nine-year compulsory education.
And because of their ancestor, Monk Situo, the history of the Tang Dynasty is the focus of their study!
"Mien-sou? Ha! That's just an incompetent attempt by a rotten scholar." Hanzo sneered.
"At that time, the empress was already old, Xue Huaiyi was in his prime, and the disciple Jianzhen he had just accepted was just a teenage novice monk.
Xue Huaiyi in Jianzhen's mouth , he knows geography at the top, astronomy at the bottom, is good at literature and martial arts, is a scholar of heaven and man, and is excellent in every art of war!
Everyone thought that it was the empress' favor that gave Xue Huaiyi his most powerful moment.
As everyone knows, it was with the help of Xue Huaiyi that this emperor came into being!
It was not Wu Zetian who created Xue Huaiyi.
It was Xue Huaiyi who created Wu Zetian! ”
“Ah this...”
Even the history of a thousand years ago shocked Iwasaki Hideyoshi and caused him to lose the ability to speak.
No matter how bizarre the unofficial history is, I’m afraid I can’t write such explosive gossip, right?
If this statement spreads, you will definitely be criticized by historians all over the world, and you will be labeled as "historical nihilism"!
(Solemn statement: This story is purely fictitious, any similarity is purely coincidental!)
"Is this the secret you said?"
After taking a long time to react, Iwasaki Hideyoshi asked with a strange expression.
Even if this explosive gossip is true, is it the woman who makes the man, or the man who makes the woman...
Is this so important? !
"Of course not, the secret... lies with Xue Huaiyi!" A hint of fanaticism suddenly appeared on Hanzo's face.
“What is the secret?”
"A book!"
"Uh...book?" Iwasaki Hideyoshi looked confused.
"That's right! It has appeared several times in Chinese history. Each time, it left a legend, and each time, it was lost again..."
Hanzo's face became more and more confused. fanaticism.
"Every time, it has a different name, "He Tu", "Luo Shu", "Tai Gong Yin Fu", "Six Tao", "Tai Gong Art of War", "Tai Ping Yao Shu", "Tai Gong Yin Fu" Qing Sang Sutra"..."
Iwasaki Hideyoshi: "..." Are you sure you are not crazy and creating an illusory "historical text"?
