Antique Dealer

Chapter 269 Misunderstanding
Hearing Kong Yan's comments, Fang Hao was amazed in his heart. Sure enough, there is no one worthy of fame. Kong Yan explained the characteristics of this Wen Zhengming's work incisively and vividly in just a few words.

Compared to Fang Hao, Zhao Shougen at this moment is like standing outside in the sky, and being poured from head to toe by a basin of ice water, his whole body is completely chilled.

"No...impossible, how is this authentic?!"

Zhao Shougen muttered to himself, and immediately recalled the speculation his girlfriend had said before, and shouted hysterically: "You guys play me together! Let me tell you, if you want to cheat my money, there is no way!"

As he spoke, he turned around and wanted to run, but was stopped by Tang Mingshan and Hu Jue.

Kong Yan looked at Zhao Shougen, who was suddenly in trouble, and felt puzzled. Why did he say something wrong when he said it?

"Mr. Kong, sit down and drink some tea first. I will tell you about this in detail later." Fang Hao invited Kong Yan to the table and asked Li Xinli to make tea for Kong Yan.

Fang Hao walked up to Zhao Shougen: "Let's talk about our business next. The agreement is written in black and white. If there is any problem with my painting, I will pay three for the fake one. If you do not perform the agreement, you will pay 200 million. Oh, yes, you have I paid 100 million, and there is 100 million left, hurry up and pay, if you don't pay, then don't blame me and call the police!"

"Okay, call the police, I'm not afraid!"

Zhao Shougen firmly insisted that Fang Hao's partner cheated him of money, but when he saw Fang Haozhen took out his mobile phone and wanted to call the police, he hurriedly stopped him, with a flattering smile on his face: "Boss Fang, I was a little emotional just now, and I want to call the police." You apologize, let's talk about it, what do you think?"

"It's not very good, everything is as written in the agreement."

Seeing Fang Hao's reckless appearance, Zhao Shougen's face darkened again: "You must die?"

Fang Hao sneered: "Why don't you give it a try, how can you die? Tell you, I'm not scared too much!"

Next to Zhao Shougen, Xiaoyu, who had been silent all this time, said, "Boss Fang, we are smart people who don't speak in secret, so what can you do to let us go?"

"Do you have any recording equipment on you?" Fang Hao used himself to cross people. He had a recording pen on his body, and he felt that the other party would also have a recording device in all likelihood.

Xiaoyu took out the recording pen, stopped recording, and handed it to Fang Hao.

Fang Hao took the recording pen, and continued: "Let's talk about business, the first question, who ordered you to deal with me?"

"You really don't know anything?" Zhao Shougen still didn't believe that Fang Hao didn't know.

Fang Hao looked stern: "Now I am asking you, answer honestly!"

The look in Fang Hao's eyes made Zhao Shougen a little scared, and he said honestly, "Qing Zuo entrusted us to come."

Fang Hao said in his heart, "Sure enough, it's him", but he didn't expect that Qing Zuo's revenge would come so quickly: "He gave you the 100 million too?"

"Yes."

"Isn't he afraid of you running away?"

"He asked me to write an IOU, and he also knew my situation, so he wasn't afraid that I would run away."

The two asked and answered, so that everyone could understand the cause and effect of the matter.

Zhao Shougen smiled flatteringly and said, "Boss Fang, you see I've told you everything I know, can you let me go?"

Fang Hao said lightly: "Tell me, how do you want me to let you go?"

Zhao Shougen said: "In this way, I will go and tell Qing Zuo personally that the 100 million I paid before should be regarded as your mental damage fee."

"that's it?"

Fang Hao looked at him with a half-smile: "Then he held a grudge, and if he finds an opportunity in the future, he will come to trouble me again?"

Because Qingzuo didn't let him participate in the trade fair, he took this kind of revenge method. This time he lost millions, so he couldn't help but hate him deeply. He might not know what kind of revenge measures he would take.

Fang Hao is not a character who likes to be passive and defensive. If he has a chance to deal with Qingzuo, of course it would be the best.

"What... what do you want to do?" Zhao Shougen was now a little worried that Fang Hao would continue to call the police.

Fang Hao said, "Let's talk later."

Talk about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive. As soon as Fang Hao's voice fell, Qian Min, who had just returned from Xijing for two days, came in.

But I haven't seen him for more than two weeks, Qian Min looks dark and thin.

Fang Hao went up to meet him, and said with concern: "Uncle Qian, your work is more important than your body."

Qian Min smiled and waved his hands: "Don't worry, my body is fine, and I just had a physical examination yesterday. Except for a slight abnormality in liver function indicators, there is nothing else. The doctor asked me to take liver protection tablets for a while, and don't stay up late too often." That's it."

"You should pay more attention to this matter."

"I am old at the top and young at the bottom, so I will definitely take good care of my body."

Qian Min chuckled, looked at Zhao Shougen who was not far away, and felt familiar: "Is that him?"

When Zhao Shougen saw Qian Min, it was like a mouse seeing a cat. When he saw Qian Min looking over, he shuddered, turned his head and ran away.

"Long Xiaofu, stop!" Qian Min directly pulled out the pistol from his waist: "Run away, I'll shoot!"

Zhao Shougen, or Long Xiaofu, stopped immediately and raised his hand: "Officer, did you recognize the wrong person?"

"Even if you're fat like a pig now, or turn into ashes, I'll still know you!" Qian Min sneered, and took out the handcuffs to handcuff Long Xiaofu.

Fang Hao was very surprised. He didn't expect Zhao Shougen to use a fake name. Of course, it's normal for a scammer to use a fake name, but just now Zhao Shougen took out his ID card. Zhao Shougen is at least [-]% or [-]% similar. If this is a forgery, it is too similar.

At this moment, Fang Hao suddenly noticed that a figure beside him rushed towards Qian Min, and his reaction was quick, he shouted "Be careful", rushed over and restrained the woman, and shouted loudly: "Be honest! "

The woman originally wanted to stop Qian Min and let Long Xiaofu escape, but Fang Hao's reaction was so quick that it ruined her action. Since Long Xiaofu couldn't escape, she simply kept silent.

"Okay, Long Xiaofu, tell me, what method did you use to make her so devoted to you."

Qian Min didn't expect that Long Xiaofu, a middle-aged fat man with no good looks, could get a beautiful woman who was more than ten years old to help him wholeheartedly.

Long Xiaofu was very moved, and secretly decided that he must take everything down: "Wait, she didn't want me to take things down, did she act like this on purpose?"

Without mentioning Long Xiaofu's mental journey, Qian Min called his colleagues to help, and while waiting, told Fang Hao what Long Xiaofu had committed.

It is said that Long Xiaofu was named by his grandfather, which means Xiaofu will be safe. However, when Long Xiaofu was just in elementary school, his parents died unexpectedly, and he has lived with his grandfather since then. After graduating from elementary school, Xiaofu wandered around.

During this period, Long Xiaofu had entered the juvenile detention center because of fights. After he came out, because he had no education and didn't want to do physical work, he learned to steal chickens and dogs, and even entered the palace three times in a row.

Later, he learned how to cheat, and gradually switched to cheating for a living. He often shot a gun and changed places, and the amount was not high, so he was never caught.

Five or six years ago, Long Xiaofu "caught a big fish" and defrauded him of hundreds of thousands of dollars. When he got the money, the victim also reacted and asked Long Xiaofu to settle the score. At that time, Long Xiaofu had not transferred, and the two argued In the end, Long Xiaofu wounded the victim and fled.

At that time, Qian Min happened to go to the place where the crime happened to handle the case, and also came into contact with Long Xiaofu's crime. Later, he heard that Long Xiaofu had never been brought to justice, and issued an online arrest warrant.

Unexpectedly, it was a surprise to meet him here today.

After learning about Long Xiaofu's deeds from Qian Min, Fang Hao briefly talked about what happened this time.

Knowing that the flaw lies in Fang Hao's possession of an authentic painting, Long Xiaofu was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, how could his luck be so bad, and at the same time blamed Qingzuo for choosing this one instead of other paintings.

If Qing Zuo knew, he would definitely be wronged. Unless the old sow can climb a tree, how would he know such a coincidence in the world?
While talking, Fang Hao took out the imitation again, and Kong Yan appreciated it with great interest, and found that this imitation was actually a copied work, and the author's level was also very high. Take it for real.

Of course, if you put the two paintings together, the difference will not be a dime. If you have a certain foundation and the ability to distinguish calligraphy and painting, you will be able to feel the difference after seeing the imitation and then the real one.And Long Xiaofu only graduated from elementary school, and his knowledge is limited, so naturally he couldn't tell.

After making the transcript, Qian Min said that according to Long Xiaofu's previous recordings, Qingzuo did have the idea of ​​defrauding Fang Hao, and he had already implemented it. If a huge amount of property is used as the target of fraud, or if there are other serious circumstances, it should be convicted and punished, and the standard for filing a case should be formed at the same time.

But Qian Min also said that there is only audio recording as evidence now, and it is not easy for Qing Zuo to plead guilty. The person who sold the fake painting yesterday must also be arrested, and there are other evidences to support it.

Long Xiaofu quickly stated that he had evidence of Qingzuo's other crimes and wanted to take the blame and make meritorious service.

Qing Zuo held Long Xiaofu's handle, and Long Xiaofu also held Qing Zuo's handle. Now that he is in jail, Qing Zuo can't escape.

The soldiers were so quick that Qian Min took the people away immediately. Before leaving, he left behind the certificate of the special cultural relic appraiser that he promised Fang Hao before.

Qing Zuo was in a good mood today, thinking that he would have a large sum of money in the near future, he couldn't help humming a ditty again: "Today is a good day..."

At this moment, the door opened, and a person came in hurriedly, but it was Zhang Jing who had met Fang Hao at the exchange meeting held by Kong Yi before.

Zhang Jing returned from abroad and relied on his family relationship to start a technology company. Recently, the business has stabilized, so he has some free time.

Since he participated in the exchange meeting held by Kong Yi last time, he has become more and more interested in antiques. Coupled with the fact that antique collections can increase in value, he is even more interested.

Some time ago, he got to know Qing Zuo through a friend's introduction, and bought two good pieces of porcelain from Qing Zuo at a reasonable price, so he trusted Qing Zuo a little more.

The day before yesterday, Qing Zuo called him, saying that a friend from his side said that something happened at home, and because he needed money urgently, he needed to sell some things passed down from the older generation.

After Zhang Jing learned of this, she rushed to Qingzuo's store and saw the honest-looking seller.The seller told him that his wife fell into a ditch due to an accident in a hurry on the road at night. She was seriously injured and stayed in the ICU for more than ten days. Urgent.

Since it was introduced by Qingzuo, Zhang Jing never thought that the seller was lying, so he expressed deep sympathy and agreed to take a look.

The seller wanted to sell four pieces of porcelain, all of which were from the mid-Qing Dynasty. Zhang Jing looked carefully and found that one of the glazes looked a bit wrong, so he asked if it was an old thing?

The seller told him that there must be no problem with the things. They were handed down from the family. His ancestors were Jinshi in the Qing Dynasty before the Republic of China. In the end, only these few things were left. If it wasn’t for his wife’s accident, he would He didn't live up to expectations, he didn't make much money, and he wouldn't sell these things no matter what.

At the end, his expression became gloomy.

Seeing that he had touched the pain of others, Zhang Jing couldn't bear it, and Qing Zuo echoed by the side, saying that the seller's ancestors were indeed Jinshi, so he believed the seller's words, ignored the problem of porcelain, and finally spent 55 pieces All four pieces of porcelain were bought.

Last night, a friend of Zhang Jing's was a guest at his home. He saw the four pieces of porcelain and found that two of them were faulty. Zhang Jing drilled his eyes and asked him what happened.

After the friend learned the details of the incident, he told Zhang Jing that Qing Zuo had a bad reputation and would design tricks from time to time. This time, Qing Zuo must have set him up.

How could Zhang Jing think that this would be the answer, so he would startle the snake. After going to the company to deal with the matter today, he rushed to Qingzuo's store with his things.

When Qing Zuo saw the box in Zhang Jing's hand, he understood what was going on. He had done this kind of thing a lot, so he naturally had a countermeasure, and immediately greeted politely: "Mr. Zhang, sit down quickly, why don't you have time today?" Come here?"

After Zhang Jing learned about Qingzuo's character, when he saw Qingzuo again, he felt that he was a villain. Why did he trust such a person?In the final analysis, he was still careless in making friends!
Zhang Jing went straight to the point: "Boss Qing, two of the four pieces of porcelain I bought the day before yesterday had problems."

"Ah! How did this happen?" Qing Zuo pretended to be surprised: "As far as I know, his ancestors were indeed Jinshi in the Qing Dynasty, and there is no doubt about that!"

Zhang Jing stared at Boss Qing: "But there is something wrong with the porcelain, and there's nothing wrong with that."

"Alright then, I'll contact him right away and ask him to come over."

Qingzuo took out his mobile phone and pretended to make a call: "Damn it! The phone is turned off!"

Zhang Jing knew it would be like this: "Boss Qing, how do you deal with this matter? If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't come here to buy his porcelain."

Qing Zuo looked embarrassed: "I also know this, but to be honest, you personally identified it at the time, Mr. Zhang, and I didn't even participate in it!"

Zhang Jing only felt that the anger in his stomach was constantly accumulating: "Then when I thought there was something wrong with the porcelain, who was there to say that his ancestors did indeed have Jinshi?"

"Huh? According to you, you still want to blame me?"

Qingzuo's tone also began to be blunt: "Don't you know the rules in this antique shop? The payment is cleared, and the things you fancy turn into a pile of dirt when you leave the house. What has it to do with me?" Relationship? What's more, I didn't sell it to you. "

"Okay, I will remember what you said!"

Zhang Jing also knew that it would be difficult for him to recover the loss, but he still had illusions. Now it seems that if he wants to return the product, there must be no way!
Qing Zuo sneered, he has been in the antique industry for so many years, he has never seen such a big storm, and he is afraid of Zhang Jing's threat?

However, just as Zhang Jing walked out, two policemen came in, and one of them said, "Are you Qingzuo?"

Qing Zuo's heart skipped a beat. This mirror's revenge can't be so fast, or is it that the police are already waiting outside the door?
No matter how he guessed in his heart, he had no choice but to stand up, bite the bullet and say, "I am Qingzuo."

The policeman showed his ID first, and said solemnly: "Qingzuo, you are suspected of fraud, please come with us."

Qing Zuo became even more skeptical that the police were called by Zhang Jing: "Officer, are you making a mistake? I have always been fair and law-abiding, so how could I be suspected of fraud?"

"We don't wrong good people, please don't waste time, otherwise we will have to take measures."

"Can I make a phone call?"

"Go to the police station and call."

Seeing two policemen staring at him, Qing Zuo knew that he would not be able to escape this time, so he had to follow the policemen obediently.

When Zhang Jing went out, she saw the policeman going in behind. She was also very curious about what was going on, so she waited outside the door.After a while, I saw the police coming out with Qing Zuo.

He had an idea, and quickly said: "Two police officers, I want to report the crime. This person set up a trick to trick me into buying fake antiques, and I lost hundreds of thousands."

This sentence made Qing Zuo think that it was Zhang Jing who brought the police here, and he spat out angrily: "Fart, when did I lie to you!"

"do not move!"

The police stopped the impulsive Qing Zuo, and then told Zhang Jing that he could go to the police station with them.

When the group left, a lame man in his 30s picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Brother Rong, it's not good, Boss Qing has been taken away by the police!"

"What! Do you know what happened?"

"I don't know! But I saw that kid Zhang Jing is also there, could it be he who recruited him?"

"Zhang Jing? Is that the turtle boss that Huang Zai introduced?"

"Yes, it's him."

"Okay, I get it, now you go and tell the old chickens to hide outside."

"OK……"

Returning to Juhuizhai, Fang Hao watched Qian Min and the others leave, and returned to the antique shop.

Kong Yan apologized: "Boss Fang, I'm really sorry."

Fang Hao waved his hand: "Why are you doing this all the time? If it's because of the appraisal, it's unnecessary."

Kong Yan felt relieved, and then sighed: "Actually, I've also heard that Qing Zuo has a lack of personal morality, but I owe him a favor when he helped me find a work by Lan Ying. Knowing that you have Wen Zhengming's authentic works here, I agreed to come and have a look when I felt an itch in my heart, but I didn't expect that the things involved are so complicated."
