137 Shock! Danshu Iron Certificate! Death Exemption Medallion! (4)

However, the densely packed words were still legible.

“Damn! What is this?”

“It looks so familiar, as if I’ve seen it somewhere before?”

“This kind of iron sheet… Holy crap! Could it be a Danshu Iron Certificate?”

“(⊙o⊙)”

“F * ck!”

“(ΩДΩ)!”

“A Danshu Iron Certificate?”

” What the f*ck!? ”

“Holy cow!”

!!!!!

!!!!!

In an instant, the chatroom exploded with activity.

“In that case, the owner of this tomb is a great hero. Otherwise, why would he have something as honorable as a Danshu Iron Certificate?”

“I am an international student from Korea. May I ask what this thing is? I have never heard of such a term before!”

“Hey there, Korean sister, let me answer you. This is a death-exemption medallion!”

“This is a certificate issued by the emperor to citizens who have accomplished great achievements. Aside from the crime of treason, those who wield this certificate are exempted from all crimes!”

Realizing that a Korean female had joined the room, many of the perverts lying in wait within the stream chat instantly perked up.

After all, that nation was known for churning out gorgeous women.

Luo Feng chimed in, “This isn’t any old Danshu Iron Certificate, it’s a Gold Iron Certificate. The text that are inscribed onto the medallion are not written in cinnabar, but gold powder! But there’s no need to pay too much attention to this small detail. It essentially serves the same purpose! There are also iron certificates that have their texts written in silver powder, but just like the Gold Iron Certificate, it functions the same as the original Danshu Iron Certificates!”

Behind Luo Feng’s confident appearance, he was actually rather confused at the turn of events.

The fact that he had obtained a Danshu Iron Certificate had turned all his assumptions about the tomb’s owner on their head!

From what Luo Feng knew, none of the Danshu Iron Certificates issued to the generals back in the Ming dynasty were death-exemption certificates.

However, he was also aware that the labors of these iron certificate holders are recorded within the certificate themselves!

Once he had read through the list of accolades written on the certificate, perhaps he would finally be able to determine the tomb owner’s identity.

Very quickly.

Luo Feng started to read through words on the iron certificate.

After looking at it for a while…

Luo Feng felt a little stunned.

“This iron certificate seems to belong to the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, Li Shanchang! ”

“But according to official history, he should have been executed by Zhu Yuanzhang, so it’s impossible for someone like him to have such a tomb in his hometown!”

“Li Shanchang (1314-1390), with the courtesy name Baishi, was from Dingyuan in Haozhou. He was a founding hero of the Ming Dynasty.”

“Li Shanchang loved to read and was intelligent from a young age. Later, he joined forces with Zhu Yuanzhang and fought alongside him, risking his life many times and achieving many merits, on par with the Han Dynasty prime minister Xiao He. In the early years of the Hongwu period, he was appointed as the Left Prime Minister, and later was appointed as the Duke of Xuanguo. He was ordered to oversee the compilation of the ‘Yuan Shi,’ and wrote books such as ‘Taizu Xunlu’ and ‘Da Ming Ji Li.'”

“In the third year of the Hongwu period (1370), he was conferred the title “Minister of State Building and Virtue Promoting Sincerity and Maintaining Justice,” and promoted to special advanced light virtuous doctor, left pillar state, grand tutor, left prime minister of the Zhongshu, and elevated to Duke of Hanguo. His annual salary was four thousand stones, and his descendants were hereditary, making him a high-ranking court official.”

“In the twenty-third year of the Hongwu period (1390), Li Shanchang and more than seventy of his relatives, including his wife, daughter, younger brother, and nephew, were all executed by Zhu Yuanzhang, who was investigating the rebellion of Hu Weiyong. He was 77 years old at the time. In the Nanming Hongguang regime, he was posthumously named Xiangmin.”

“Holy f*ck! This is big news! Massive news!”

“Li Shanchang’s iron certificate?”

“Damn, I was sleepy after staying up this late into the night, but now I’m fully awake!”

“Yeah! It’s explosive news!”

Even though it was 4 in the morning, the livestream was still very popular. Not only that, but the Weibo hot search was also constantly buzzing and couldn’t stop.

What Luo Feng had unearthed shocked people on Weibo hot search again and again, especially with the appearance of the incredible artifact, the Danshu Iron Certificate, which left many Chinese netizens in an uproar.

After all, it was an extremely valuable relic. Major museums, antique shops, and cultural relic bureaus went wild at the news, and despite being in the wee hours of the morning, many employees from these organizations were frantically calling up their contacts and trying to get in touch with people of power.

“We must make Luo Feng turn it in… No, we must buy it!”

“I’m getting old. I’ve almost forgotten the laws now!”

Had the relic been discovered 20 years ago…

Private organizations?

Hehe, you can get lost.

It would undoubtedly be confiscated and made into the government’s property.

But now, they had no right to demand Luo Feng to turn it in. The only path they had was to purchase it from Luo Feng through legal channels since he had already secured the proper permits.

Nevertheless, they simply had to get their hands on the relic as it would undoubtedly become the centerpiece of whichever organization that purchases it.

They had no time to sleep.

Time was of the essence if they wished to obtain the relic for themselves.

No one wanted to let other organizations beat them to the punch.

Naturally, since Luo Feng was no collector, and only digs treasures for the sake of selling them, so long as an organization was willing to offer him the right price, he would not hesitate to sell the iron certificate away.





Back in the main burial chamber.

Although the viewers were fascinated at the discovery of the Danshu Iron Certificate…

They still urged Luo Feng to continue searching to see if there were any other good items hidden under the tiles.

As such, Luo Feng put a halt to his inspection of the certificate and handed it over to Qin Rubing. Looking at how curious and excited she was at holding the relic, however, Luo Feng could not help but smile as she was like a little girl who had just received a Barbie doll.

Then, he told her to stay put and went to search for the treasure markers.

After finding the marker closest to the coffin, which was the closest of the remaining 3 treasure markers, Luo Feng guessed that the item, which was so close to the coffin, might be able to prove the identity of the tomb owner.

Thock thock.

Luo Feng knocked on the tile, and pretended to be surprised to find a hollow space below.

“There’s something here!”

With that, Luo Feng began to dig again.

“Little Qin, stop looking at the iron certificate and help me out here!”

He shouted.

With Qin Rubing’s help, they worked together and within 3 minutes, they removed several tiles. After all, the hollow part underneath was not that large…

Of course, after working together in the tomb, the relationship between the two of them had also improved significantly. Especially when Luo Feng called her “Little Qin”, she did not object.

“A box made of gold Nanmu?”

Qin Rubing looked at the item hidden underneath the tiles, and could immediately tell that it was very valuable.

However…

[ Ding! You have found a d*ck! ]

[ Ming Dynasty! ]

[ Value: ??????? ]

What the f*ck?

What the hell?

An actual d*ck?

What is this?

Luo Feng was also dumbfounded for a moment…
