Shadow Guard Capture Manual

Chapter 93 [Merge 2 and 3]

According to common sense, King Wen of Jin is actually the one who is least likely to collude with the enemy and treason among the princes. After all, his current welfare can be said to be the best among the princes, and the fief is not remote, and can even be regarded as rich. , although he has no real power, he is not an ambitious person himself-after all, he has basically bid farewell to the throne since his birth.

Before He Zhizhou left, he asked Zhao Ruhui whether he thought King Jin Wen was trustworthy. Although Zhao Ruhui didn't want to give He Zhizhou any wrong information to make him take it lightly, he let him judge by himself, but these news were not secrets. After the preliminary analysis, there is a rough plan for what needs to be done later.

After all, it is the palace, and it has been the master of Jinping for a long time. If it is not a special case, the Jinwen Palace uses only family-born children, and will not randomly invite unfamiliar people into the mansion, and the rules in the palace are probably not small. Few people work alone, and they can't leave their posts randomly, so they are not suitable for He Zhizhou to investigate.

Fortunately, He Zhizhou had already done his homework before he came. He knew that Prince Wen of Jin was not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or in gardens and flowers, but he liked fresh clothes, beautiful maidservants, cockfights, and pear gardens. Among them, the most obsessed , It’s a good antique—but I still have no eyesight. I bought it ten times, and eight times it was fake, and I bought it at a high price twice, and I lost money.

He Zhizhou wanted to start with the son of King Wen of Jin. After all, if King Jinping really hides his ambitions, then he must be a very scheming person, and he is very difficult to get close to. After all, he didn't live in the palace like Jin Wenwang since he was a child. In Jinping, he was a typical local snake. Who would dare not give Jin Wenwang's son face in Jinping?Even if he is really Tibetan, he must not be as meticulous as his Lao Tzu.

However, even He Zhizhou, who is as observant as he is, can’t understand how this little prince has the vision to take a broken bowl in a beggar’s hand as a hundred-year-old celadon, and regard the graffiti of a three-textured wallet as a legacy of a former master...

It took three full days before He Zhizhou reluctantly admitted that he was a dandy who was worth ten to ten dollars of money—or a very blind one.

After all, most people pretend to be mediocre in order to hide their clumsiness, and there are also those who pretend to be fools, but if you play yourself as a [-]% idiot, is it because you are afraid that your reputation will not be "good" in the future?

But thanks to Xiaoshizi's reputation as an "antique", He Zhizhou played with | and he specially shoved it from Zhao Ruhui's desk... No, it was the lotus flower and autumn moon picture folding fan that was coming, and gave a slight "tsk", so It's a waste of good things to give to such an antique idiot.

But the heartache is only temporary, and the task still needs to be done. Anyway, this thing is just a gadget for Zhao Ruhui to play with, and because of "cheat", this little prince is already a tacit understanding among the antique dealers in Jinping, He Zhizhou Also simply do as the Romans do.

He pretended to be a down-and-out son, holding the fan and frowning reluctantly, and asked the shopkeeper of the antique shop for the selling price of the fan.

Although he can't deceive anyone with his demeanor, it can be seen from his clothes that he is obviously in some trouble now.The owner of the antique shop is a businessman. Although he salivated and his eyes watered when he saw the fan, he still managed to suppress the desire in his eyes and pointed five fingers at him tentatively.

"5000 taels?" He Zhizhou laughed, looking at the shopkeeper as if looking at a lunatic.

And the shopkeeper tremblingly withdrew his fingers, and swallowed the original "hundred" deeply.

Because of He Zhizhou's disdainful eyes, the shopkeeper just watched him walk out the door without looking back, and he didn't even have the courage to ask him to bargain again.

In all fairness, the shopkeeper is not without eyesight. Just such a fan, it is impossible to buy only 5000 taels for the fan surface alone, but he is just a small antique shop, not a collector. 5000 taels, I'm afraid it's worth his shop. The price just now was just a chance for a blind cat to meet a dead mouse.

But looking at it now, it's obvious that he didn't have such luck, and according to the appearance of the young man just now, it's obvious that Jinping's antique shop is going to have a bloodbath again~

The shopkeeper put down his heart of falling pie, but calmed down instead. He picked up the feather duster and leisurely cleaned the dust on the counters in the shop.

And He Zhizhou was a drunkard who didn't care about drinking. He took this fan and walked all the antique shops in Jinping, big or small. Even if there were a few big antique shops, the bids were really fair. But He Zhizhou didn't stop for a moment.

Every time he came reluctantly and left angrily, in just one day, all the antique dealers in a place as big as Jinping knew about such a proud and down-and-out young man.

A few antique dealers thought their bids were fair, and they were dissatisfied with being placed in such a way. In addition, they really coveted such a precious masterpiece, so these tycoons in the antique and curio market in Jinping all knew it. A tacit agreement was reached - not only will the price not be raised, but the price will be lowered!When the little boy had nowhere to go, he was going to beg them desperately.

But who is He Zhizhou?No matter if it was a high-ranking official or a traitor, he could have inspected people one by one, so how could they be staggered by these small antique dealers.Regardless of how these few antique dealers secretly suppressed the news of this famous fan, in just one night, this authentic posthumous work by the masters of the previous dynasty was spread all over the streets and alleys.

Even if you don’t study antiques on weekdays, if you ask this curiously, someone well-informed will give him a popular science, "This is a peerless painter of flowers and birds! And he has a quirk - he especially likes to draw night and moon pictures." , but most of them were burnt by himself, so there are not many handed down. It is said that this fan was also collected by the last prince of the previous dynasty, but after the former dynasty perished, it is not known where this treasure handed down Where. In the past, there have been speculations that either it was burned down by the previous dynasty when the country was destroyed, or it had been sold out at a low price after several resales, but I didn't expect it to appear in Jinping again today!"

The neighbor who heard the news couldn't sit still anymore, and added emphatically, "I just happened to meet that young man coming out of the antique shop yesterday! Seeing his angry face, I listened to it out of curiosity. Although I am down and out now, I still want to give this handed down treasure a good home and sell it to someone who understands the value of this fan and can appreciate the true value of this treasure, not a group of businessmen who smell like copper!"

"Hey, it's hard to find real people these days. Instead, there are a lot of fat and big-eared rich men who think arty, but they don't know that "painting a tiger is not an anti-dog". It's a pity that those people are put in the warehouse Dusty baby."

They were chatting here, but they didn't know that their conversation was clearly overheard by a young man in brocade clothes upstairs, and he kept complaining about "the young man was rejected by the snobby shopkeeper one after another".

When I heard the last sentence "The treasure is dusty", my blood boiled all of a sudden, and I slapped the table unbearably, "How can such a priceless treasure be ruined like this! Let's go, Wugui, let's go find that little son, his treasure I am Bought it!"

However, his master was impatiently sharpening his knife and eagerly wanting to accept this precious treasure, but the guard holding the knife beside him secretly glanced at the middle-aged scribe who was drinking tea leisurely with a face full of embarrassment, and reminded him with a mournful face. A word from his hot-blooded master.

"My lord, don't think about it, you've already spent all the pocket money that the prince gave you this month, and we'll borrow it from the Wen counselor for dinner!"

A certain son: "..."

He looked at Mr. Wen, who was still eating his food calmly and didn't express anything at all, and then looked down at the three small bowls on the table and the dishes that had been swept away by the wind, and choked up silently.

That's right, this month he bought a fake Tang Sancai, fake sapphire porcelain, a fake Baichuanhui sea map drawn by a famous Fengshui master in the Qi Dynasty... As for some spiritless fighting cocks, a cricket with a broken leg, etc. I won't list them one by one.

However, the sad thing is that his father, the dignified King Wen of Jin, really planned to watch his son-in-law starve to death on the street, and refused to even give him a penny!

If he hadn't met Counselor Wen today, and dragged this talkative counselor for food with a shameless face, I'm afraid that in three days, his father and king would be able to receive a scrawny, starving corpse on the street!

But Shizi is a person who regards antiques as his life. Now that he has known such a treasure, if he doesn't buy it, he will feel itchy in body and mind. He really has the urge to buy it even if he sells it.

But he also knew the quality of the rags in his house, even if he weighed them in taels, he would not be able to buy a few silver coins. Looking back on the past few days, the rich and well-clothed son finally understood what a penny is. The hero was stumped by money, and he had mixed feelings and grievances. He could only sniff his nose and look pitifully at this very clever strategist, hoping that he would come up with a trick.

However, although the Great Counselor understood what he meant, he obviously didn't intend to start with a helping hand, and even worsened, "His Royal Highness, you still need me to count for you all the various things you have received in recent years." Is it a fake? Maybe this is just a scam specially set up for you."

As I said earlier, it has almost become a tradition for the son of Kengmeng in Jinping.After all, it was a transaction of paying with one hand and delivering the goods with the other. Even if the shopkeeper blatantly said that he didn't know the truth or not, this young prince of Jinping had such courage and confidence that he felt that what he saw must be right.

The most famous of these is the beggar's broken bowl incident. The beggar said that five taels of silver was a matter of sincerity and fear, but our little prince still felt that the beggar had lost money, saying that he was not willing to take advantage of him, so he ignored the beggar. With an expression of about to cry, he forcefully stuffed 200 taels of silver.

The price of being cheated every time is about 100 taels, which is not too much for a palace, but it is really a lot when the number of times is too many.

But for a few hundred taels of silver, King Wen of Jin couldn't hold back this old face and wanted it back. He could only scold his son who was not up to date, and asked him if he would not give up if he didn't want to ruin the palace, and then he did his best. His monthly pocket money.

"Besides, Your Highness, this is not the little trouble you made before. If it is genuine, then a pair of fans will cost at least 8000 taels of silver, plus the workmanship of the fan bones, at least 1 taels. There is still no quarrel. In the case of bidding... If it is a serious bidding, it is normal to double or triple the price, even the prince has to think about something worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, so don't think about it anymore, right?"

The prince was still not convinced at first, but when he heard the literary counselor explain the stakes to him slowly and word by word, he had nothing to say for a while.

But Shizi was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child. Although he was "trapped" by unscrupulous merchants every time, he really didn't suffer any big losses. It is obviously a typical character of not bumping into the south wall and not looking back. Even he knows it in his heart. But if you don't see this fan, if you don't reject it personally, you just don't want to give up.

——Didn't it mean to find a predestined person for this treasure who understands his value? What if this young man is really willing to give up this fan and give him the fan because of his fate?

It doesn't matter whether it's being kept with him now, or an IOU with interest on credit is fine!

——Although he is no better than his father, he is still a son of the world, and he can be trusted!

With a pair of optimist thoughts, a certain prince was quite confident, "Don't worry, Counselor Wen, I will not mess around this time, I just go and have a look, go and see! This time I must be careful, don't listen Their gibberish."

Wen counselor looked indifferent, "Don't listen to the seller's advocacy, but you should listen to the 'nonsense' of the people around you. Generally speaking, when a group of people say that this thing is good, this thing is not necessarily good, but a group of people If everyone says it’s bad, then it’s probably really bad.”

Although King Wen of Jin didn't have any ambitions, at least he was different from those officials who searched for the people's fat and anointment. Occasionally, when the people had any difficulties, they would often send people from the palace to relieve disasters. He is unambiguous and not corrupt at all times, which is of course different from those officials who hold most of the silver in their hands, so they have been quite popular among the people for so many years.

People who couldn't bear to see Xiao Shizi being deceived had kindly reminded Xiao Shizi a few words before, but they were still defeated by Shizi's self-confidence...

Probably because he knows how many ridiculous things he has done, the prince's expression is embarrassing at the moment, "You, don't worry, I will not be impulsive this time, after all, I don't have a penny on hand, and people won't sell things Is it for me?"

"You'd better not learn about IOUs from others, otherwise...you may not be detained monthly, but you may be detained in the palace as a whole."

It's really not impossible, after all, King Wen of Jin has endured his son for a long time, if he knew that he had an extra bill of tens of thousands of taels for no reason, he would probably beat him with a broom before lying down angrily. pause……

Shizi felt pain when he recalled the scene where he was beaten and ran around the house in the past, and he couldn't help wiping away his bitter tears. He starved to death on the street, and reminded him patiently and carefully!

"Don't worry, Counselor Wen, I will not mess around this time. If the people around me say it's true, I will... um, me, I took him to the palace and let my father take a look. He likes me again." Encourage him to buy it!"

Probably because he was still thinking about the long-term meal ticket of Wen Counselor, the prince smiled attentively, "Don't worry, if my father likes it, I will never forget to give you a good word in front of him!"

"..." Wen Counselor really exhausted his life-long cultivation, so he forced a smile.

"That really bothered His Royal Highness."
