Tokyo Police
Vol 2 Chapter 11: Shingen's Buried Gold
After leaving the Yamanashi Prefectural Archives, Shuichi Lin and Kanako already have plans for the next step. They plan to visit the next day to visit the treasurer of the Buddha Temple, who was once famous seven years ago, and is also the history of Yamanashi University. Professor of Science and Archaeology - Saito Komon.
Among all the records of the discovery of treasures, the only one that seems particularly unusual is the discovery of Jin Xiaojing in the river at the foot of the Buddha Temple seven years ago. This incident caused a great sensation at the time, and the TV station even put out a special episode about it.
It is said that after hearing the legend about the treasures of Buddha Temple by chance, Saito Gongwang has been silently researching the whereabouts of these treasures. He believes that the samurai who were killed at the Buddha Temple were not unknown people, but the last heir of Takeda Nobukatsu, the direct descendant of the Takeda family, and the treasures escorted by the samurai were likely to contain the treasures that Takeda Shingen had accumulated throughout his life. A huge fortune - the last clue to Takeda Shingen's buried gold.
Because they still had to stay in Kofu City the next day, Lin Shuichi and Kanako didn't plan to rush back to Buddha Village. They plan to wait until they see Professor Saito the next day before going back. Since there is no progress in the case now, plus it was originally a vacation. So after the two of them booked a hotel in Kofu City (don't think about it), they simply visited the local places of interest.
During the Warring States Period, Yamanashi Prefecture was called Jiafei Kingdom. The famous Takeda Shingen made his fortune here. Kofu City, as the base of the Takeda clan, has a large number of historical sites from the Warring States Period and the Edo Period. After Lin Xiuichi and Kanako took a short rest at the hotel, they came to Kofu Castle to experience the historical features of the place.
Although the builder of Kofu Castle was not a member of the Takeda clan, but Tokugawa Ieyasu who destroyed the Takeda clan. However, as a generation of strategists in the Warring States Period, Kofu Castle still displays many cultural relics related to the Takeda clan. It was here that Lin Xiuyi first saw the Warring States Period Jin Xiaojue found in the stream at the foot of the Buddha Temple.
"This is the treasure of the Buddha Temple! It doesn't seem to have much weight? Could it be that Professor Saito got rich overnight with this small gold sentence?" Lin Xiuyi looked at the small gold sentence in the showcase, slightly disappointed. said. Although Lin Xiuyi is not a professional collector, he has roughly searched the price of Jin Xiaojing online these days. According to the information provided in the newspaper, Professor Saito found a total of 4 gold coins in the stream of the Buddha Village. If it was auctioned publicly, the price of these four gold coins would only be tens of millions of yen, which is basically just enough to buy an ordinary one-family building in Kofu City.
"Actually, Professor Saito didn't sell all of the four gold medals after he received them! Instead, he chose to donate one gold medal to a museum in Kofu City. What we see now is the one donated by Professor Saito. Pieces!" Kanako introduced to Lin Xiuyi.
"Oh? Didn't sell it? What about the remaining three?" This result is really unexpected, doesn't it mean that Duke Saito made a fortune by relying on these treasures? If he didn't sell these things, how did he make his fortune?
"Among the remaining three pieces, one piece was donated to Professor Saito's alma mater, Yamanashi University, and one piece was sold to the Muyando opened by the famous collector Mr. Sakamoto Goro! The other piece was sold by Saito. The professor's private collection..." Kanako explained patiently to Lin Xiuyi.
"I don't understand this. If he sold the four gold coins, he should have made a lot of money! But if he donated three coins at once, where did he get the money?" Lin Xiuyi wondered. asked.
"Xiuyi-kun, let me ask you a question first, do you know Buyantang?" Kanako asked rhetorically.
"I really haven't heard of this!" Lin Xiuyi replied frankly.
"Then let's start with Buyantang. Buyantang is the most powerful private collection institution in RB, and its founder, Mr. Sakamoto Goro, is a world-renowned collector of RB. Buyantang's collections Known for being the best of the best, in the 1960s, Mr. Sakamoto donated ten pieces of fine bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties in China to the Tokyo National Museum in the name of his mother (little devils are ruthless), which shows his strength in the collection. In Europe, Mr. Sakamoto has a nickname called Little Napoleon. It can be said that when talking about the RB collection world, Mr. Sakamoto is definitely the first person!" Kanako explained to Lin Shuichi patiently.
"But I still don't understand, how much money can this Professor Saito sell to Jin Xiaojuan of Buyantang? And things like Jin Xiaojuan don't seem to be a particularly rare collection. Although I don't know how to collect, but I am in I saw online antique shops in Tokyo, but there are quite a few surviving Jin Xiaojings for sale! Since Buyantang is famous for its collections~www.wuxiaspot.com~ why do you still collect such ordinary things?" Lin Xiu asked. .
"This is what I'm going to tell you next. Have you heard of Takeda Shingenzhi's buried gold?" Kanako asked again.
"I've heard about this! Is it the legendary treasure left by the Takeda family?" Lin Xiuyi replied.
"Yes, but to be precise, it is a huge wealth that Takeda Shingen left to his grandson Shinsheng. The Jiafei Kingdom was the main source of gold in the Warring States Period, and Takeda Shingen once set up Jinshan Public to mine gold mines. Duke Xinxuan hoped that his grandson Xinsheng could replace him to complete the great cause of **** of the world, so he chose Xinsheng's father Shenglai as his successor. It is said that before his death, Duke Xinxuan prepared a large amount of military for Xinsheng. Funds are buried all over the country of Jiafei." Kanako continued.
"So, according to legend, it was Takeda Shinkatsu who died in the Buddha Temple? Could it be that the treasure finally fell into the hands of the monks at the Buddha Temple?" Lin Xiuyi said naturally.
"I can't believe that the two of you are so familiar with this history at such a young age?"
Just as Lin Xiuyi and Kanako were having a heated discussion, another voice suddenly came from behind.
"Ah! I'm sorry to disturb the two of you, but hearing that the two of you are so familiar with the history of this golden sentence, I couldn't help but come over and want to get to know the two of you! My dear Yamazaki Ichigosuke, who is currently working as a researcher here, The two professors Saito Kono are talking about is my teacher at the postgraduate level!"
As Yamazaki Kosuke said, he handed Lin Shuichi and Kanako his business card.
Lin Xiuyi gave Kanako a quiet wink, and Kanako introduced him knowingly, "Hello, I'm Kimura Kanako, the screenwriter of TV Asahi, and this is my colleague Lin Xiuyi.
