Chapter 60 Narrow escape!
Chapter 60. Nine Deaths!
"What! Never touch Koizumi again?"

As soon as Qiu Ming finished speaking, the whole place was shocked.

This gamble is too high, it can be called crazy. For some practitioners who specialize in Koizumi appraisal, it is tantamount to cutting off their lives. Even if Ren Ping does not belong to this category, it is equivalent to cutting off an arm, which is no small matter .

overbearing!Outrageous!Leave no stone unturned!

In an instant, everyone in the audience had a new understanding of Qiu Ming, an old man who looked arrogant and thin.

In fact, not only him, but people who are familiar with the Guquan Association such as Qi Heng know that in the territory of Nanling, the Guquan Association has always acted like this, saying that it is the same, and I am the only one.

Anyone in the collection industry who is against them will always be revenged, even if they are like Ren Ping who has not provoked them openly!
"It's so shameless. I put so many conditions on others, but I didn't bet on anything. Could it be that this bet is only for one of them?"

With a puff, when everyone's hearts were shaken, Su Rui couldn't help laughing, his face full of sarcasm.

Ren Ping naturally noticed it, and couldn't help but rolled his eyes:
This old guy is probably used to being domineering on weekdays. If others lose, they will take this or that. up?
I have seen shameless ones, but I have never seen such brazen ones!

Sure enough, under the contemptuous eyes of everyone, Qiu Ming also realized that something was wrong at this time, the old man blushed, became cruel, and slapped his right hand on the round table:
"If my surname Qiu loses, I will chop this hand to you!"

"Agreed?"

"A word is settled!"

Qiu Ming did not hesitate.

Qi Heng and the others didn't think this was the case, but now they were counting on him to make a comeback. After thinking about it, they didn't say much...

"Have you figured it out?"

Wu Yousheng at the other end said cautiously, although he didn't know where Ren Ping's ability to appraise ancient coins came from, but it would be a pity if he cut it off.

Seeing Ren Ping nodded, he couldn't help but sigh:

"It's all my fault. You Shengxing started this incident. You really shouldn't be asked to take this muddy water."

"Uncle Wu, as I said earlier, their target was me. Even without You Shengxing, they would find other ways to lure me into the game."

Ren Ping smiled and patted his shoulder, then turned his head:

"What topic, come on."

Qiu Ming snorted coldly, turned his palm over, and took out a small stack of ancient coins from his cuff, and carefully arranged them one by one on the round table.

There are a lot of ancient coins in this pile, which are two or three feet away.

Then count them one by one, no more, no less, exactly ten.

And it is not a typical round square hole money, but a machine-made coin.

Machine-made coins, as the name suggests, are coins cast by machines, which are different from ancient coins made by ancient money-making techniques such as Chinese pouring method and sand casting method.

During the Opium War in the late Qing Dynasty, when foreign powers invaded China, they brought a large number of machine-made coins, which also opened the history of machine-made coins in China.

Strictly speaking, these machine-made coins are not ancient coins, but copper coins, which are often said by ordinary people, which belong to modern products.

The biggest difference is that it changes from a circular square hole to a full circle.

However, because precious ancient coins have become increasingly rare in recent years, and copper coins with more complete modern craftsmanship are more complete in preservation and more in line with the public's aesthetics in appearance, so they have been popular in the collection circle, and even gradually surpassed ancient coins.

Taking the present as an example, the ten copper coins that Qiu Ming took out are all bright in color and clear in texture. The back is painted with a dragon picture, and the front is the inscription "Guangxu Yuanbao" and small characters on the edge. It is the most widely circulated Guangxu coin in the late Qing Dynasty. copper.

In recent years, Guangxu copper coins are often seen in the ancient spring market. According to the quality and stock, the price ranges from several thousand to hundreds of thousands, and the extremely precious ones can reach millions. It can be regarded as a large series in the ancient spring category.

However, these ten copper coins look like...

"Don't look at it, it's fake."

Just when Ren Ping, Qi Heng and others couldn't help but step forward to observe carefully, Qiu Ming suddenly said coldly.

Everyone was stunned:
"fake?"

"Are these fake copper coins?"

"Then what do you take it out for?"

Everyone was puzzled for a while, and didn't seem to understand until a while later, especially Qi Heng and other well-informed elders of the Nine Families, quickly reacted:

"Ten coins, another counterfeit coin, you mean... a narrow escape?"

Nine deaths is an assessment method that has been passed down in the ancient spring world, and it is also the most difficult and strictest one in the rumors.

Choose ten ancient coins of the same kind and origin, nine of which are fake and one is true, and the examiner is required to choose the real one among them. If you choose the wrong one at will, you will lose, so it is called "nine deaths and a lifetime".

This kind of examination involves a large number of ancient coins, which is far more than other "five sons competing for the first". In addition, the examination content is to eliminate the false and preserve the true, so the difficulty is doubled exponentially.

You must know that there are too many ways to counterfeit antiques, and the same is true for ancient coins, regardless of shape, material, specification, age, or even some inscriptions written on them, all of which can be faked.

And without prior knowledge, it is almost impossible to identify the nine counterfeit money and point out the real money in one fell swoop.

Not to mention amateur collectors, even some famous Guquan masters who have been in the industry for many years, are also very easy to get distracted when faced with this kind of problem.

Because of this, although this harsh assessment method has been around for a long time, it has not appeared many times, and most people have only heard of it.

Because even the person who made the question had to spend a lot of effort to find nine counterfeit coins, and they had to be of the same species, each with their own fakes. How much enmity does this have with the examiners?Unexpectedly, Qiu Ming actually has it!
Shocked and overjoyed at the same time, Qi Heng and the others had vaguely guessed that this set of genuine and counterfeit "Near Death" coins should not belong to Qiu Ming, but to the Guquan Association. Ping, don't hesitate to spend this money.

But so what, at this time, who cares about whether the topic is from the Spring and Autumn League or the Guquan Association?

"That's right, it's a narrow escape!"

At this time, Qiu Ming also gave an affirmative answer, looking proud and arrogant.

Seeing that Ren Pinglu was pondering and didn't answer for a while, he couldn't help but sneered slightly:

"There are ten copper coins in total. If you make a mistake, you will lose, what? You haven't even heard of this question, have you?"

"I've heard it, but..."

"Just what?"

Qiu Ming's eyes were dark, but his voice gradually became lower and lower:

"Boy, aren't you crazy? You're bragging about Mingquan Xiaotianlong, causing a storm in the city, and hooking up with the Tahoetian family to send it to the capital for appraisal. Why don't you weigh your weight?"

"Want to regret it now? It's too late! Today, I will tell you that when it comes to Guquan and Nanling, who has the final say!"

Accompanied by the vicious voice, Qiu Ming finally opened up and stopped hiding his real purpose, which was to drive out all those who did not take the Guquan Association seriously!
But Ren Ping had already guessed it, and didn't care, so he said to himself:
"You can only use it once in your life. After using it, the counterfeit money appears and is useless from now on. I think this can be regarded as the bottom of the box of your Koquan Association. It contains the hard work of many people. Are you sure you want to use it to write questions?"

"A lot of nonsense! It seems that you have already cracked it, so hurry up and say it!"

Qiu Ming was impatient.

"it is good!"

Knowing that the other party was like this, Ren Ping didn't bother to say much, and swept along the ten Guangxu copper coins, and soon pushed out the third one from left to right:

"This one, the 'Treasure Lake' made by Lianghu is the twenty Wen Guangxu copper coin. It is a real coin!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

As soon as the words fell, Qiu Ming couldn't help laughing loudly, holding his belly with one hand and pointing at Ren Ping with the other, as if hearing the funniest joke in the world.

Ren Ping ignored him, and looked indifferently:

"What? Isn't it right?"
