After Xuan finished speaking, the meeting room instantly fell into a dead silence. The old men looked at Xuan without blinking, making Xuan's hair stand on end.
"Xuan, you said there's another national treasure?" Old Wang asked seriously.”
"Uh…yes, why?" Xuan was a little confused. He didn't know these old men would react like this.
"What do you know? You probably don't even know what level a person can be called a national treasure.”Old Wang curled his lips and walked to Xuan to take the declaration of independence."Let me show you. How dare you call it a national treasure?”
Seeing the thing in Xuan's hand reach Old Wang's hand, Old Ye suddenly reacted and cursed.
"F * ck! Old Wang, you're so shameless!"
"Hehe, you old men who are about to get dementia are playing with me? You guys are still too inexperienced!" Old Wang said proudly.
"Don't be unconvinced. If I can't see it, I don't think you can see it either. It's better for me to directly take action.”
"Alright, only you can." Old Man Ye rolled his eyes and said,"Look, hurry up. Don't dawdle."”
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Man Ye saw Old Wang's face turn green, making everyone curious.
"What's wrong, Old Wang? Is it fake?"
"Could it really be a national treasure?" An old man asked.
"Why do you look so pale?" "Did you shit your pants?" Xu Yin mocked.”
"You're the one who pooped in your pants!”Old Wang roared crazily at Xu Yin.
Then, he silently handed the declaration of independence to Old Ye, who was beside him.
The confused Old Man Ye took it and looked at it. He instantly laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, Old Wang, you've got a day like this!”
"Why do you look like you ate sh * t? Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter!"
"What exactly happened?" The others asked anxiously.
However, Old Man Ye was still laughing loudly. He laughed so hard that the hair on the surrounding people's backs stood on end and goosebumps appeared.
"Old Man Ye, did Old Man Wang feed you milk? What are you laughing at!"
The other old men kept a distance from the two. Even Xuan felt his scalp go numb. If he didn't know, he would have thought that the paper was cursed.
"Get lost! Look for yourself." Old Man Ye pointed the declaration of independence at them.
When they saw that it was written in English, all the old men present burst into laughter.
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Kakaka! I was wondering why!"
"Hehehe, I'm so happy!"
"What are you laughing at! What's so funny!" Old Wang couldn't keep his face from being ridiculed by his old friends around him. He roared helplessly,"So what if you know bird language?”
It was no wonder that the old men around them were laughing. Among them, only Old Wang did not understand English. However, Old Wang was the fastest to rush forward just now. When he took it, he was dumbfounded and did not understand a word!
"Alright, alright, let's get down to business. Let me see what's written.”Old Ye said.
" In the course of human history, when it is necessary for a nation to remove the political shackles that bind it to another nation and achieve independence and equality among the world powers in accordance with the laws of nature and God's will, sincerity and respect for human fishing vessels require them to announce the reasons for their forced independence.”
"Heh, you're quite pretentious." Old Ye didn't think too much about it and continued to read.
However, he did not notice the change in the expressions of the people around him.
"This is how the colonies have been submissive in the past, and why they have had to change their systems.”Old Ye continued to read.
After he finished reading, the expressions of the people around him began to change drastically. Even the fingers of some old men began to tremble slightly.
" We believe that these truths are self-evident. All men are born equal…" Old Ye felt that something was wrong when he read this. He raised his head and saw that everyone present was staring at him with a serious expression.
He even saw Old Wang scratching his bald head anxiously. Xu Yin's eyelids were twitching crazily. His deep breathing caused his face to turn red.
Then, he finished the second half of the sentence with a trembling voice." The Creator bestowed upon them certain unshakeable rights, including life, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness…"
After he finished reading, the old men looked at Xuan silently. The entire meeting room fell into a dead silence. Even Old Wang, who had been jumping around the most, didn't say anything.
Everyone stared blankly at Xuan, then at the paper in Ye's hand.
After a long while, Xu Yin said in a hoarse voice.
"Come and take a look together. This thing can't be carried by one person.”
Fortunately, all the famous big shots in the country came to the exhibition this time. Otherwise, Xu Yin would not have such great authority alone.
"There's nothing to see about this thing." Old Ye muttered with a trembling voice. When he took the paper just now, he knew that it was an old item.
"Thomas Jefferson's signature is fine.”
"Benjamin F. Franklin's signature is fine too.”
"Roger She-Mann's signature is fine.”
"John Adams 'signature is fine.”
"The paper matches the engraving of 1776, there are no traces of old work.”
"The seal is the same as the one I saw when I went abroad for an investigation…"
“……”
More than a dozen old men, each of them took out what they were best at, trying to find something abnormal, but they found no problem at all.
After that, every old man carefully studied the declaration of independence for ten minutes until sunset.
More than a dozen old men sat on the chairs as if they had no bones. They looked at the declaration of independence on the table in a daze.
But now, everyone still felt that it was a little ridiculous.
How could this thing appear here?
How was this possible?
This was supposed to be the third page of the declaration of independence in the National Archives of America!!!
