Urban Hidden Dragon

Wang Han was stunned for a long time.

The burglary leader who looked like Captain Jia flashed in his mind.

When I was in Shuidongzi before, this Hu Xiaopian'er was also there.

But then everyone dispersed.

Wang Han didn't ask too much about who among the group of people survived. After all, he didn't have any close friendships.

I didn't expect the other party to be able to find this place.

Wang Han was confused.

At that time, there were only two ways to survive from that place, one was to return from the way in, and the other was the mezzanine where Wang Han came out.

The latter is very dangerous. As for the former, it was blown up when Wang Han passed by. The person who collapsed was most likely the person who activated the mechanism to steal the mother body of the Divine Spine.

But why did Hu Xiaobian'er come to see me?

Logically speaking, Hu Xiaobian'er was the one who broke into the door. If he wanted to find someone with Tuan'er after he came out, he would definitely be looking for Dao Zi.

Wang Han, full of doubts, asked Zhu Dong to look at Fang Zhengping, then walked out the door.

Just came in.

I saw Hu Xiaobian'er looking at a painting hanging on the wall.

Hearing the footsteps, Hu Xiaobian'er turned around quickly.

He cupped his hands and fists towards Wang Han.

"Master Jiu, you are blessed!"

Wang Han smiled and sat down.

"How did you find me here?"

Hu Xiaobian'er was like a squirrel, still holding his hands in front of his chest, and smiled at Wang Han, "Jiuye's name is well-known throughout the hidden world. After asking someone to inquire, he found this place. .”

Wang Han took a sip of water and looked at editor Hu, "Old Hu, if you have anything to say, just say it and don't mess with me."

Hu Xiaobian'er bared his teeth and smiled at Wang Han, "Master Jiu, then I won't be polite to you anymore. I came to you to seek your asylum."

"Looking for me? Seeking asylum?"

Hu Xiaobianer smiled and said, "I dug up the ancestral graves of Chen Wanhu and his family."

Wang Han was stunned for a moment.

Then I remembered that when I was in that water cave, Chen Wanhu had fucked Hu Xiaobian several times, and the two people had become enemies at that time. Hu Xiaobian had wished Chen Wanhu good luck to his ancestors when he was in that place.

"Did you really dig someone's ancestral grave?"

Hu Xiaobian'er said with a shy smile, "I, Hu Xiaobian'er, have always been united in knowledge and action. If I say dig his ancestral graves, I will dig his ancestral graves! There is no ambiguity!"

Wang Han laughed out loud, "You dug someone's ancestral grave and came to me to seek refuge? Do you think it's possible?"

Hu Xiaobian'er seemed to have expected that Wang Han would say this.

"Master Jiu, I will never let you do this in vain. Before I came here, I took something specially to honor you. You will definitely be very interested!"

While talking, Hu Xiaobian'er took out a small box from his pocket, opened the small box, and pushed it in front of Wang Han.

Wang Han looked inside the small box, which contained several old black and white photos.

I took out the photo from the box, the top one.

It was a gringo in a suit and tie, standing next to an old man who looked malnourished. The two were shaking hands, looking like they had reached some kind of agreement.

Wang Han looked at the background behind the photo.

The sky was gray and dusty, and there were many people and camels behind them. Those people were packing boxes for the camels’ back racks.

You can still see from the opened boxes that there are many ancient books and even gold and silver jewelry inside.

Wang Han then looked at the second photo.

The photo showed a gray-haired gringo talking to someone with a street stall between them.

It is a red cloth with many antique objects placed on it.

Wang Han glanced at the old foreigner and then at the first photo.

I discovered that this old foreigner seemed to be the older version of the gringo in the first photo.

After taking a closer look at the second photo, I asked, "Is this Panjiayuan?"

Hu Xiaowei'er gave a thumbs up, "As expected of Master Jiu, you can tell at a glance. It's just that it wasn't called Panjiayuan when we took the photo. It was still called Panjiayao at that time."

"Why are you showing me this photo?"

"Master Jiu, don't be anxious. Just look behind you. There's more behind you."

Wang Han took away the second photo and looked at the third photo below.

Wang Han was stunned for a moment when he saw the third photo.

Kowloon Seal!

It turned out to be the Nine Dragon Seal that Wang Han had been thinking about!

It's just that this Nine Dragon Seal is different from the ones Wang Han has seen before. This Nine Dragon Seal is covered with gold and has cloud patterns embossed on it.

In the photo, the Kowloon Seal is placed in a display cabinet. The white-haired foreigner in the second photo is sitting in a wheelchair, listening to another middle-aged man with a big belly and a big belly telling him something.

“Where did all these photos come from?”

"My family."

Wang Han was stunned for a moment, and Hu Xiaobianer pointed at the malnourished man in the first photo and said, "This man used to be my grandfather's brother-in-law. Master Jiu may have heard of his name. His name is Sun Kuiying."

"Sun Kuiying?" Wang Han repeated the name. He felt like he had heard it somewhere. Suddenly, an idea flashed across his face. Lord Buddha once said that at the beginning of the last century, a traitor who came out of the house sold many cultural relics to foreign devils and even stole cultural relics. It's a thing that everyone at the door despises.

"A house full of children and grandchildren, Sun Diao Temple?"

"Yes, yes! That's him." Hu Xiaobian'er smiled, "This Sun Kuiying has done a lot of immoral things. The people who stole the house looked down upon this grandson, and everyone scolded him for not having any descendants in the future.

This grandson also had a dream of becoming an official. He always said that his ancestor was a captain under Cao Cao. He boasted that his ability would have made him an official in ancient times. Later, everyone gave him a Diao Temple. The official said that Sun Diao Si was scolding him for being infertile and unable to raise a grand family. "

Wang Han looked at those photos and said, "With all that said, let's get straight to the point and get down to business."

Hu Xiaobian'er dug his hands into each other's sleeves, "Master Jiu, I heard from Master Biao that you seem to be very interested in the Nine Dragon Seal. According to my grandfather, this Nine Dragon Seal is currently abroad."

Wang Han said nothing, quietly waiting for Hu Xiaobian'er to continue.

"In 1886, a foreigner named Potanin discovered the ruins of Blackwater City during an investigation on the Ejina River, which unveiled the mystery of an ancient country. Later, in 1908, a man named Koz Love's gringos came here, bribed the locals, dug destructively, and took away a large number of antiques.

When these cultural relics appeared in the Western world, they immediately caused quite a stir. Since then, many foreigners have come to plunder the treasures.

At that time, the Qing Dynasty was about to end, so it didn't care about this at all and allowed these foreigners to plunder.

In the first photo, the gringo standing with Sun Diaoji was one of the group of gringos who came to plunder the treasure. His name was Kenneth.

At the beginning, Sun Diaoji sent my grandfather a photo, the first photo of him and Kenneth. He said that he wanted to invite my grandfather to come with him to make a deal. He said that he was a foreign donor and would give generous money. , my grandfather went there at the beginning, but after contacting him, he realized something was wrong. Although he was a tomb robber, he had to be a good thief. He could use the things belonging to his ancestors but could not give them to foreigners, so he fell out with Sun Diao Si. People broke up with each other.

Later, Kenneth became more and more interested in cultural relics. He paid for Sun Kuiying, who robbed tombs everywhere. He sold countless antique cultural relics, including a Kowloon seal! .

Later, when the war broke out, Kenneth disappeared, and Sun Kuiying's whereabouts were unknown. Some said he died while robbing a tomb, some said he went up the mountain to become a beard, and some said he worked as a lackey for the Japs. There were different opinions.

But in the past five years, Sun Kuiying sent a letter to my grandfather, saying that he was not dead yet, but he would not live long. He wanted to ask my grandfather to put an end to the past, saying that he only had my grandfather as a relative in his life. , anyway, he said it sincerely, so my grandfather went.

Unexpectedly, not long after arriving, news came out that Sun Kuiying had been arrested and executed. My grandfather's whereabouts since then are unknown! "

Wang Han handed Hu Xiaobian'er a glass of water and asked Hu Xiaobian'er to continue. Hu Xiaobian'er thanked him and continued, "My father has been looking up the whereabouts of my grandfather all those years. Later, by chance, he found out that Sun Kuiying was He was not executed. Someone took the blame for him, and the real Sun Kuiying fled abroad.

Over the years, through my father's unremitting efforts, I found out that Sun Kuiying still followed that Kenneth after leaving the country.

In the s, Kenneth came to China, walked around and then left. My father chased him personally, but it was too late. Kenneth died not long after returning to China, and Sun Kuiying was there. They also died before. Both of them were childless. After they died, the whereabouts of the cultural relics they moved away are also unknown.

My grandfather's whereabouts have become a complete mystery. My grandmother's wish before she died was to bring my grandfather back to his roots. My father spent half his life on this. Before my father died, he finally found new clues.

When Kenneth left us here in the s, he adopted an abandoned baby. The abandoned baby must be where those cultural relics are. In other words, the abandoned baby knows where the Kowloon Seal is, and he may also know that Sun Kuiying and my grandfather were together. Where did it go. "

Wang Han leaned back on his chair and looked at Hu Xiaobian'er with a half-smile.

Hu Xiaobian'er held the tea cup with both hands and took a sip of tea, "What's wrong, Master Jiu?"

"Go on, where is this abandoned baby now!"

Hu Xiaobian'er smiled and said, "I haven't found the exact whereabouts of the abandoned baby, but I have another clue."

As he spoke, Hu Xiaobian'er put down the tea cup and took out a handkerchief from his pocket. After opening the handkerchief, there was a small golden thing with diamonds on it.

Taking a closer look, it was a brooch.

"As long as we can find this thing, we can find out where the abandoned baby is."

Wang Han took it and said, "How can you check with such a thing?"

Hu Xiaobianer then smiled and said, "This thing is a limited edition handmade by a private craftsman abroad in the last century. There are only thirty-nine pieces, and each piece has been recorded by the craftsman, so as long as it is found that it is Which craftsman made it, you can find the record, and if you find the record, you can find the abandoned baby!"

Wang Han took out his cell phone and took a photo of the brooch.

"From your tone, have you already found the craftsman?"

Hu Xiaobianer chuckled, "That's why you dare to come to Master Jiu for help. Isn't that right? Please protect me and I will continue to investigate. I will definitely find the Nine Dragon Seal you want when the time comes!"

"What's the name of that craftsman?" Wang Han asked.

Hu Xiaobian'er said with a shy smile, "Master Jiu, it took me several years to find out the identity. How can I just accuse you casually? You haven't promised to protect me yet."

"Sure, I'll protect you, and you give me the detailed information about the craftsman."

When Hu Xiaobian'er smiled, his beard trembled, "Master Jiu, I'm not worried about you saying that. How about you send a message to Chen Wanhu and his family, so that I can feel relieved."

"Why do you have such ink stains? If I told you to help me, I would definitely help you. I can check such a small thing myself."

Wang Han sent the photo, "Check for me the craftsman of this brooch, and by the way, check the records of the brooch from that year, and even record every person on it, and select the people who are related to Kenneth."

"Master Jiu, you are inevitably a bit exaggerated. Master Jiu, you are like this in China." Hu Xiaobianer gave a thumbs up.

Holding the tea cup, he then smiled and said, "But this thing is abroad after all. It took me and my father's two generations of contacts to find it out over several years. You don't know what's going on?" How hard it is cannot be found out with just a touch of lip service."

Wang Han's phone vibrated and he picked it up to take a look.

“This guy’s name is Tracy Abbot, right?”
