A wooden vase from the Ming Dynasty at the entrance of the reception hall amazed
everyone. The artists designed it in a rare style and selected valuable jewels to
decorate it. People thought highly of its fancy colour of honey and the beautiful
painting on it.
The vase used to belong to a former castle. But when the country was at war, the
enemy troops exploded the castle. Debates on how the vase survived went on and on.
In order to remove people's doubt, a team of no less than 20 people carried out an
informal investigation. The evidences they found showed that a maid took the vase apart
and asked a sailor to sink it in a local well. She never gave away the secret even under
the cruel trial of the enemies who were in search of treasures.
It is worth giving this brave maid a fortune in return.
