Chapter 61
Chapter 61. True and false copper coins
Qiu Ming continued to laugh until the tears came out, and he didn't stop, but he didn't elaborate on the reason.

The members of the Nine Family were a little impatient:
"Is this kid wrong? Mr. Qiu, please speak up, so that he can give up."

"I just said, how can you easily answer a question like a narrow escape? This kid must be talking nonsense."

"So, which one is the real one? It's not the 'Baohu' coin, is it 'Baochuan'? 'Baofu'? Or this 'Baoguang'?"

Everyone was discussing and discussing enthusiastically while waiting for Qiu Ming to reveal the answer.

You must know that there are more than one kind of Guangxu copper coins. Except for those made by the imperial household department in the late Qing Dynasty, all provinces have made them, and place names are written on the front edge and in the center.

For example, Baohu refers to the two lakes region; Baochuan refers to Sichuan and Chongqing; Baoguang refers to Guangdong and Guangxi, etc.

The Guangxu Yuanbao made in various places is not much different in overall shape, but there are many differences in details. In addition, it lasts a long time, and the coin molds in the same area are often replaced, and the versions are complicated and difficult to identify.

This is also the strength of this question. If you want to answer it correctly, you must master almost all the relevant historical knowledge. Otherwise, except for the questioner himself, most of the others can only guess.

Among the Nine Great Families, there were also those with excellent eyesight, but after pondering for a long time, unable to make up their minds, they had no choice but to still look at Qiu Ming.

At this time, Qiu Ming finally stopped laughing gradually. Apart from excitement, his expression was full of insidious joy of a successful scheme, which made people puzzled.

I saw him staring at Ren Ping without looking at the ten copper coins:

"You said that Baohu coin is real?"

"Not bad, isn't it?"

"of course not!"

Qiu Ming smiled coldly.

"Then I have to ask, which one is it really?"

"No, none of them,"

Qiu Ming paused every word: "Because these ten copper coins are all fake!"

"What? It's all fake!"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the whole audience was stunned.

But it's not right, this question is clearly called a narrow escape, why...

Some of the Nine Great Families soon realized that something was wrong. A topic like this kind of inconsistency is supposed to be a violation of the rules, but after all, it is their own side that benefits. Looking at Qiu Ming's appearance of a successful scheme, it was obvious that he had planned it long ago, so he endured it. Don't talk.

Except for Wu Yousheng, he knew that he had been tricked by the other party beforehand, and he was furious:
"This question is not counted! I clearly said that there is a real coin before, but now I am going back on my word. How can there be such an inexplicable assessment in the collection world!"

"Why not, it's because you are ignorant."

Qiu Ming was full of sarcasm.

"Okay, you can tell me a reason. Isn't this topic called Nine Deaths!"

"So what, but I didn't say which kind,"

Qiu Ming was complacent, and under Wu Yousheng's surprised and puzzled gaze, he couldn't help but beam with joy:
"Before I said that the topic was called Nine Deaths, but you didn't know it. In addition to the regular test method, there is another variant of this topic called Flying Daggers!"

"Ambush from all sides, the ten ancient coins are all fake, the test is for ignorant, fearless, self-righteous laymen like you!"

"What? Did you get fooled? It's a pity that it's too late to know now, hahahaha..."

Amid another wanton laughter, Qiu Ming almost got carried away, to the point of madness.

Even the members of the Nine Families couldn't help being surprised and delighted. They didn't expect that there would be variants in Nine Deaths.

So, this set of questions is not illegal?Can only blame the other party for being ignorant?
Thinking of the twists and turns in today's event, but in the end there was no danger and the Spring and Autumn League side won, he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

After taking a short breath, he began to attack You Shengxing non-stop:
"What, Mr. Wu, do you have nothing to say now? If you fail the assessment, according to the agreement, You Shengxing will lose the qualification to join the Spring and Autumn League, and you will also be prohibited from intervening in Guquan's business from now on."

"you--"

Wu Yousheng gritted his teeth and was speechless for a while.

"What? Wu is always doubting the strength of our Spring and Autumn League? I advise you, don't struggle fearlessly, otherwise not only Gu Quan, but also other business friends Shengxing will not be able to be safe."

"That's right! I've saved face for you today, otherwise, it stands to reason that you, You Shengxing, should be kicked out of the house and leave Nanling forever!"

An old woman with a frosty face said viciously.

Wu Yousheng was extremely angry in his heart, clenched his fists tightly, and almost crushed the car keys in his palm.

But after a long time, he finally let go slowly, with a dejected look on his face.

It is true that the Spring and Autumn League is just a non-governmental organization. It stands to reason that it has no right to let You Shengxing leave Nanling, but there is no reason for everything in this world.

As these people said, if the Spring and Autumn League is completely offended, he has no doubt that the Nine Great Masters can make You Shengxing close within a month.

For this property that he has worked so hard to earn for half his life, he can only choose to swallow his anger!

"Wait, Mr. Wu, if you stand on my side, maybe I can intercede for you, and ask the seniors of the Spring and Autumn League to reconsider allowing you to join the alliance."

At this time, Qiu Ming, who thought that the overall situation was settled, said suddenly.

"What do you mean?"

"It's very simple, aren't you friends with this kid? As long as you cut him clean and declare that his set of Mingquan Xiaotianlong is fake, it's all a private fabrication. From now on, you will be on our side."

He pointed to Ren Ping beside him.

Wu Yousheng was taken aback for a moment, and then flew into a rage:
"Fart! Who do you think my surname is Wu, who will betray my friends!"

"Mr. Wu should think about it, I'll give you another chance."

"No need! You'd better leave it to others to use this kind of indiscriminate trick to sow discord!"

With a scolding, Wu Yousheng directly refused.

Qiu Ming grinned ferociously, thought for a while, and snorted:
"It doesn't matter, the outcome is decided anyway, not only the Mingquan Xiaotianlong, from now on, there will be no such kid in the Nanling Ancient Spring Realm."

He said and looked at Ren Ping.

Ren Ping naturally understood that the other party was referring to the previous bet. According to the agreement, apart from announcing Mingquan Xiaotianlong as a fake, he would not be allowed to touch ancient coins for life, and he would not even be able to go to the Tian family's birthday party three days later.

Unfortunately……

"Mr. Qiu is too impatient? Do you think you have won so quickly?"

"Is not it?"

Ren Ping shook his head. After not speaking for a long time, he still maintained a calm and indifferent tone, and reached out to pick up the third Guangxu copper coin that was released just now:

"You say this treasure lake coin is fake?"

"Nonsense, I don't know if it's true or not?"

"In that case, I'll take it. Can Mr. Qiu make a price?"

"Hahahaha... You want counterfeit money too, brat, you're out of your mind!"

Amidst the loud laughter, Qiu Ming was full of ridicule, just looking for an opportunity to humiliate Ren Ping:
"It's just a counterfeit coin. I'll give it to you for free. If you don't have any food in the future, it just so happens that it can be regarded as a little support from your peers! Hahahaha..."

"Free, really?"

"Of course it's true! Don't talk nonsense, you still don't admit defeat?"

Qiu Ming said impatiently.

Ren Ping ignored him, held the Baohu Guangxu copper coin in his hand, walked a few steps to Qi Heng, smiled slightly, and handed it out:

"Old Qi, you are a great expert. Whether this copper coin is real or not, you should have a conclusion."

Qi Heng stretched out his hand to take it, but for some reason, his palm trembled slightly, and he almost lost his grip.

After a while, he put it in the palm of his hand and examined it carefully.

In fact, he didn't need to look any more. Just now, when everyone was coming and going and fighting fiercely, he was already carefully observing the ten copper coins without saying a word.

Although it is difficult to escape from death, he can see some clues based on his decades of Koizumi skills.

That's all for the other nine pieces, either in shape, rust stains, or materials, they are all flawed, and can be discerned upon close inspection, but the one pointed out by Ren Ping...

"Ugh……"

Sighing dejectedly, Qi Heng put the copper coins back into Ren Ping's hands.

At the same time, he was full of resignation and looked at Qiu Ming, as if blaming him for being too unsteady in doing things, so that he made such a mistake.

Qiu Ming was looked at inexplicably, it would be fine if he was someone else, but the person in front of him was a former mentor, so he couldn't help but panic:
"Why old Qi, isn't this copper coin fake?"

Qi Heng nodded slowly.

Given the current situation, he really wanted to say it was a fake, but it was a matter of the bottom line of the industry, so he couldn't go against his conscience, and if it spread, it would ruin his reputation.

"Old Qi, is this really real?"

At this time, the rest of the people were also a little confused. This copper coin was real and false for a while, it was unbelievable, so they had no choice but to look at Qi Heng.

Seeing him nodding again, he couldn't help but look at each other:

"Then... how much is it worth?"

"No less than 300 million or so."

"what!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone gasped.

300!This is a price only available to the top ancient springs and rare treasures, and it can be said to be the top in the industry!
If this is the case, doesn't it mean that this surnamed Qiu gave 300 million to others?

Qiu Ming opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak, as if he was in a dream. After a long time, he suddenly raised his head:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! This is obviously a fake, and I personally went to Chairman Wang for an appraisal!"
