antique masters in modern times

Originally, Murong Hui was listening to the confession, while poking a piece of small rosin with a red-hot electric iron casually, making the corners and corners of the surface pitted, and at the same time using the smell to constantly stimulate and intimidate Wang Bao.

Just as he was having a great time, he suddenly heard Wang Bao say that he was not only ordered to target Xu Shinian, but also intended to ruin Ying Lao's reputation. He was so shocked that he almost dropped the things in his hand.

With quick eyes and quick hands, he quickly picked up the iron that almost burned through his clothes and put it aside. He and Yan You looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise and solemnity in each other's eyes.

When other people hear the news, they may only curse the vicious mastermind behind the scenes, but they know the details of the Jianghu, so they can naturally see a deeper level: This person can find a tomb robber like Wang Bao to perform a series of tricks, which shows that he is against him. He has a deep understanding of the methods of the rivers and lakes.Ordinary Jianghu people will not do things too extreme, lest they form a deep hatred that will never die and cause endless disasters.But looking at the poisonous plan set by the middleman, it does not give the old man a choice at all.With such viciousness, could that person be Lao Ying's enemy?

"What's the name of that middleman? Where is the photo of Xu Shinian's transaction?"

"The photos were not printed, and the negatives were in my bag. As for the middleman, I have never met him, and I don't know his name... At first, he was the one who led the line and gave me a phone number. After that, we kept in touch by phone. He will change the number every once in a while. Even the transaction is designated by him. For example, a certain number of a locker in a public bathhouse. Every transaction is different.”

This person is really impeccable in his actions.Yan You's brows furrowed tighter and tighter: "Think about it carefully, you two have known each other for two years, isn't there any clue?"

Wang Bao shook his head blankly.Smelling the still strong scent of pine, he was so frightened that he almost cried, fearing that he would not be able to give any useful answers, and would be concocted by these two little devils in a fit of anger.

Scratching his brains, he tried his best to think back, and said everything he could think of: "This person also has the accent of Sijiucheng. He sounds about forty or so, and he speaks very kindly... That's right! I called once, Hearing the rumbling sound, I asked him if there was thunder, and he said it was a plane taking off!"

airplane?Yan You recalled the new map he bought and looked at carefully. He remembered that there was only one airport in the city, and there seemed to be farmhouses nearby.

"Give me the locations where you've done deals, and all the phone numbers."

"Okay." Wang Bao nodded quickly, and immediately reported four addresses and a long list of numbers.

Yan You didn't know the film, so he signaled Murong Hui to search, and then used the pencil in the guest house to write down what Wang Bao said one by one, ready to check them one by one.These days, the state does not strictly control the trade of folk antiques, so he does not believe that this person can really be careful all the time, and always be seamless.

After writing, he put away the paper.After a moment of trance, he took another blank piece of paper and began to write.Murong Hui stretched out his head to have a look curiously, and was immediately shocked by the beautiful traditional Chinese characters.Although it was inconvenient to exaggerate due to the situation, he did thumbs up several times.

Wang Bao said everything he knew, thinking that his attitude was honest enough, but he didn't hear the two of them speak for a long time.He couldn't help saying anxiously: "Two, two, I've told you everything I know. I'm just a pawn, and I did these things because I was greedy for money. Now I have sincerely regretted it. I beg you two elders to hold you up."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, I just want you to stay here for a while." Yan You put away the pen, put the piece of paper on the coffee table, and signaled Murong Hui to pack up and leave together: "Let's go."

Murong Hui glanced at the window with fluttering curtains, then at Wang Bao who was tightly bound, raised his eyebrows and smiled, showing his youthful spirit: "Okay, I'll go down first."

"Okay." Yan You knew that he probably noticed something strange, but in front of Wang Bao, he couldn't ask in detail.

Without knowing it, Wang Bao went in, listening to the footsteps of the two going away one after the other, and the sound of the door opening and closing.When the sound gradually faded away and disappeared near the end of the corridor, he confirmed that the two people were not talking casually, but really let him go, and immediately relaxed their muscles and bones like a collapse.

He didn't feel it when his nerves were high just now, but now that he was distracted, he immediately felt pain all over his body.I don't know if it was Xiao Xie who pretended to be a pig and eat a tiger, or another person did it, the rope was tied so tightly, what other chefs did was connect flesh and blood, but he was about to be strangled into flesh and blood.

Fortunately, he still has a companion below.How long did it take you to talk just now?There should be an hour, as long as another hour passes, they will definitely come up to check and rescue themselves.

Having said that, although those two boys have many thoughts, they don't seem to understand the rules of Taoism.Helping others out, actually just asked about the cause and effect before leaving, without any "commemoration" for myself.Hmph, fortunately they were two young children, so I was spared the pain of flesh and blood.When he got out of trouble, he went to find the guy surnamed Xu. Not only did he have to bear all the hardships he suffered today, but he also wanted to leave an unforgettable memory for him according to the rules of the Tao!As for those two boys, he will never let them go!

Wang Bao rejoiced and gnashed his teeth, cursing Xu Shinian and those two boys non-stop.After a while, I was tired of cursing and just wanted to take a breather, but suddenly I heard the door being opened with a creak, followed by a series of hurried footsteps.

He thought it was his accomplice who came up ahead of time, and immediately shouted: "You two, hurry up and let go of me! Today is really unlucky. I have been hunting all day, but I was pecked by a sparrow. Not only did I not get anything, but I got a meal for nothing. Tonight, let's copy the guy to find Xu Shinian, at least take off one of his arms, and let him know how powerful we are!"

What responded to him was not the sudden agreement of the two accomplices, but a strange voice full of anger: "I was dubious when I received the call to the police, but what you said now is completely like a hooligan leader—— Handcuff him and take him back to the prison together with the two downstairs, I will interrogate him overnight!"

While speaking, Wang Bao's eyes suddenly lit up, but someone lifted his hood.The light was suddenly restored, and he shed tears involuntarily, and it took several seconds to adapt to the light.

At this time, he found that there were four armed policemen in the room for some unknown reason, one of them seemed to be the leader, bent down to pick up a piece of paper from the coffee table, and after a brief look, his face became more serious: "It's not just a The gangster leader, or a tomb robber? It looks like we caught a big fish today! It’s a pity that the citizen who called the police used a public phone and didn’t leave his name, otherwise I must thank him.”

Before he finished listening, Wang Bao collapsed into a pile of ooze.If it weren't for being tied up with wires, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to squat stably.

For a moment, he thought about many things.He wanted to ask someone to take revenge on "Xiao Xie" and his gang, but now that he thought about it, he realized that Xiao Xie's bangs covered his eyes all the time, and he always wore that big straw hat. Clear the whole picture.As for the other person, he didn't even have a chance to see what he looked like.

He also wanted to expose Xu Shinian and sue the dignified university teacher for paying revenge and illegally detaining himself.But if Tiaozi didn't know about this matter, and confessed voluntarily, wouldn't it be another crime?

After thinking about it, he found that none of them could be put into action, so he closed his mouth in despair.

The police also thought it was someone who had witnessed the infighting between gangsters and bravely called the police.While handcuffing the criminal away, he also silently praised the good citizen in his heart.

Standing at the corner of the street, watching the police car with sirens whistling away Wang Bao and the accomplice who had just subdued near the guest house, Murong Hui turned the small box of film in his hand like a coin, and said with a sense of accomplishment: "Qianmen His deception is really not bad. It is abominable to use it on the evil way, but it is quite good to use it on the right way."

They were able to catch Wang Bao in one fell swoop, not simply waiting for a rabbit.Prior to this, the two also did a lot of preparatory work.

Knowing that Wang Bao is a tomb robber and has a local accent, there must be a way to sell the stolen goods in Panjiayuan.Yanyou explained the whole story to Chen Boyi, and borrowed Yan'erzun as bait.Using counterfeiting means to make a lot of troubles, I falsified the fake product to be exactly the same as the real one, and then painted it to pretend it was just unearthed.At the same time, Mr. Chen was invited to spread the word around, publicizing that the Yan'er Zun must be the real one, to create momentum for himself.

People who deal in antiques always have an extremely fanatical interest in treasures, and they would rather miss it than miss it.Yan You is sure that Wang Bao's buyers in the garden will come to inspect it when they hear the news, and they will also find that it is a "magnificent artifact".At that time, the other party will definitely tell the people around him that the Erlianzi sells the lamp in the street as an interesting story, and sooner or later it will reach Wang Bao's ears.

He made full use of Qianmenli's "fishing" and "baiting".In the previous move, the scammer usually targets the other person, plays what he likes, plays a few small tricks to promote himself, and promotes the thing extremely high.When the target hears the news, you can sit on the ground and raise the price.

The last trick is to take advantage of people's greed and intentionally expose flaws, making people think that it is profitable, but in fact it is a loss of money and frustration.For example, it is common to pick up the lost money by yourself later, deliberately letting the sufferer see it and claiming to share the spoils together, and at this time let the accomplice pretend to be the owner to come and look for it.In order to hide their wallets, greedy people are often drawn in, willing to take out a "deposit" as evidence to prove their "innocence".As a result, his real wallet was taken away, leaving only waste paper in the prop wallet.

In the book that Murong Hui recovered, many similar methods were recorded.Of course, Yan You didn't use a rote method, but based on Wang Bao's identity and guessing his possible psychological activities, he carefully set up this trap.Naturally, he would not use his real name to act, so he simply borrowed the surname of the old liar Xie Lao Er.

As for the small means of deliberately blindfolded interrogation and intimidation after Wang Bao was captured, there is no need to elaborate.

And the words "I have other things in my house" were also intentionally made by Yanyou.Two days ago, because he wasn't sure whether Wang Bao was hiding in a place where he couldn't see, he said it several times.If Wang Bao could be more patient and observe for a while, maybe he could really find the only flaw.It's a pity that like other people who got into the trap, he was blinded by greedy words and jumped into the pit without hesitation. In the end, he didn't get any benefits, and only broke his own leg in vain.

However, digging out the truth from Wang Bao's mouth does not mean the success is complete.Murong Hui asked: "Next, shall we check the phone number and those places?"

Yan You nodded: "Of course. But before that, let's go to Ying's hometown first, and it's time to tell him the truth."

"En, that's fine." Murong Hui nodded, but felt that something was not quite right.But I couldn't think of anything.I had no choice but to put aside this doubt for now, and went to find Lao Ying with Yan You.

But when he arrived at the destination, it was Ying Lao who pointed out his doubts.

"...Little comrade, did you find the wrong place?"

This weekend, the male nanny went home to visit relatives, and Mr. Ying came to open the door in person.It turned out that the person who came to the door was a stranger with heavily patched clothes, rough and sallow skin, and a big straw hat on his head.

"Old Ying, it's me and Xiaoyan." Murong Hui hurriedly pushed forward, allowing Old Ying to see his face clearly.He finally came to his senses: Xiaoyan came over wearing that disguise, no wonder he always felt something was weird.

"Xiaoyan?" Elder Ying was surprised again.Although he had only met once, during the long conversation that day, he had already grasped the temperament of these two juniors very closely.Yan You is steady and meticulous, while Murong Hui is quick and agile.From a certain point of view, it can be said that they complement each other naturally.

If it was Murong Hui who did the cross-dressing trick, he wouldn't be surprised at all.But this person is Yan You, so it is quite weird.

Reminiscent of Chen Boyi who suddenly came to his home to drink two pots of tea, but just chattered and chatted endlessly. It seemed that he had nothing serious to talk about, but his expression showed anxiety from time to time, and Mr. Ying seemed to have found something. up.

"Let's talk if you have anything to say, Professor Chen is here."

"Old Chen?" Yan You was taken aback for a moment, and then thought that Chen Boyi must be afraid that what he said would be too shocking, and he would make Ying Lao angry, and instead put himself in a passive position.That's why they came after their actions, wanting to share the responsibility for themselves.

This thoughtfulness warmed Yan You's heart, and at the same time, he felt a little apologetic: Ever since he got acquainted with Mr. Chen, he has always taken care of him, and he said that he would help him restore antiques, but he has not started work so far.The only Yan Er Zun who took over was for the sake of making a fake.I can't do anything else. When this matter is over, I can help Mr. Chen repair a few more things and let him earn a little more to make up for it.

In the living room, Chen Boyi, who was in a daze with a teacup in his hand, heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw Yan You and Murong Hui, both bearded and tailed.But immediately thought of something, and the brows became serious again: "Xiaoyan, it's good that you came. That matter——"

"Mr. Chen, I appreciate your kindness, but I found out about it, and there are other inside stories. I want to tell Mr. Ying personally."

"Oh, that's fine."

After everyone was seated together, under the scrutinizing eyes of the old man, Yan You tried his best to explain the incident as concisely as possible.

Concerned about Ying Lao's chronic illness, Yan You deliberately simplified Xu Shinian's actions for fear of making him angry.But Ying Lao has experienced many hardships, so how can he fail to recognize his spring and autumn brushwork.Still so angry that his chest heaved and heaved, he almost overturned the coffee table: "Niezi! Niezi! I shouldn't have taught him these things in the first place! I didn't study hard, but I used a little cleverness to make trouble! I've been tossing around in school and still If it’s not enough, let’s go outside and cause trouble!”

Chen Boyi said quickly: "Calm down. Director Xu is usually very filial to you, but this time he was deceived."

Yan You also said: "Old Ying, getting angry won't help the matter. We thought that the matter would be over if we found this Wang Bao, but we didn't expect him to be instigated by others. The most urgent thing is to find out who is behind the scenes. Think carefully, recently Did you offend any villain?"

After everyone persuaded, Mr. Ying slowly suppressed his anger, pondered for a moment, but just shook his head: "No. I admit that I have a bad temper, speak too bluntly, and quarrel with people on the table not once or twice, but all because of It's an academic matter, and it's over after the quarrel. Even if no one can convince anyone, the next time we meet, we will continue to argue endlessly, but aside from academics, I have a good relationship with a few old guys. Will do so absolutely I really can't think of people who hate me to the core."

After thinking hard for a moment, Elder Ying said again: "And this person said it very strangely, what priceless treasure? Although my grandfather is of the same English generation as a certain red eunuch in the palace, he is far from his glory. The things in his hands are relatively It’s just ordinary, but I cherish it very much, and it’s not priceless at all. Could it be that this person has heard some false rumors and is so greedy that he set up a trick? Can’t figure it out, can’t figure it out!”

Yan You also fell into deep thought with everyone.He had hoped to find out the truth from Yinglao, but unexpectedly, he found nothing.Fortunately, there are addresses and phone numbers, which can still be counted on.

After thinking for a while, he took out the film and put it on the table: "I sent Wang Bao to prison, and I didn't mention it when I called the police. In order to reduce the crime, Wang Bao should not take the initiative to mention it. The negatives of the photos he took are Here, apart from a few parties involved, probably no one else knows about this matter."

Old Ying knew that Yan You was handing over the right to deal with Xu Shinian in a disguised form.Whether public or private, he should give everyone a satisfactory answer.Alas, even though he is a child who has been with him for 20 years, why is his temper completely different from his own?I have peaches and plums all over the world, why is the only child related by blood, but this kind of virtue that can't be pasted in mud?

All of a sudden, old Ying felt deeply tired, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be more than usual.

After a while, he stretched out his hand, slowly held the film box in his palm, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yan, Xiao Murong, don't worry, I will take care of this matter. You... go back first, I will sit alone for a while." sit."

Chen Boyi gave Ying Lao a worried look, but he didn't know how to persuade him for a while, so he stood up silently.Murong Hui couldn't see what Ying Lao was thinking, and he didn't dare to speak rashly.

Only Yanyou understood the self-blame in the old Ying's eyes, and said softly, "Three-year-old looks old, and one's nature is hard to change. Maybe you don't like to hear these words now, but it's the truth."

The nature is hard to change... Xu Shinian went to Sijiu City to study, and when he visited him for the first time, he happened to be 19 years old. How many times should he be three years old?

Elder Ying silently chewed on these words several times, and the wrinkles that were tightly piled up suddenly loosened a lot: "Xiaoyan, I may have misjudged others, but I will definitely not misjudged you, you are a good boy. "

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved: It seems that Mr. Ying no longer blames himself.

Chen Boyi glanced at Yan You appreciatively, but Murong Hui joked, "Grandpa Ying, what about me? Am I not good?"

"You? You are also good, just as fun as that parrot." Elder Ying glared at the kid who likes to push his nose on his face: "It's the same virtue as your grandfather when he was young."

"...You are venting your anger, so I won't bother with you." Murong Hui said angrily.I wanted to make the old man laugh a few times, but I didn't expect to be teased back, and I lost face in front of Xiaoyan again.Alas, when will he get another chance to show it?

After several people left, Mr. Ying ignored the doctors and made a cup of strong tea, but did not move.It wasn't until the hot tea turned cold that he reached out and picked up the phone.

Half an hour later, Xu Shinian came excitedly.The old man rarely took the initiative to find him, but every time something good happened.The last time it was a notification that he would be exceptionally promoted to be the head of the department, what will it be this time?He guessed excitedly and knocked on the door.

After another hour, he left the community in a daze, his face was pale, his footsteps were weak, and he was no different from a wandering soul.

It turned out that it was the east window incident!Brother Wang's group didn't want to discuss with Mr. Ying about selling the treasure, but wanted to snatch it away!If the snatching fails, Old Ying will be ruined!

Old Ying made it very clear that although someone set up a trick to do it deliberately, but flies do not bite seamless eggs, if he is always upright, he will not give the handle to others in vain.For the sake of the incense, Ying Lao did not intend to make this matter public, but only asked him to hand over the Zhuge drum, then resigned as the head of the archeology department and the chair of Peking University, and transferred back to the township education department in his hometown.

This news is like a bolt from the blue!He used to do everything possible just to leave his barren hometown.He had just made his way to the top, but suddenly he stepped on the ground, and everything that he had painstakingly worked on for many years was about to disappear.He is not reconciled, he is really not reconciled!

When Elder Ying announced his decision, he knelt down and cried bitterly without hesitation, begging Elder Ying to forgive him for his momentary confusion.I thought that the old man would be furious, but in the end, the old man just sighed and said a word, but it was this sentence that broke his last illusion.

——Although the person who framed you is in prison, his crime is not enough for the death penalty.Do you want to wait for him to get revenge on you after he gets out of prison?My old bones probably won't last that long.But you are still young, and he is a person of the way, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, if you insist on fighting to the death with you, what will your wife do?What about parents?

This was probably the most patient and detailed speech that Ying Lao had ever said to him.He spoke softly, but was as sharp as a rock, and instantly shattered his last sampan, no matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to let go.After all, he is still an ordinary person, and his desire for power does not override life and death.

He couldn't remember how he left Ying's hometown.After walking in a daze for a while, being blown by the night wind, his bewildered mind gradually cleared up a bit.But he didn't want to reflect on his own mistakes, instead he gritted his teeth and hated the person who brought all this to Yinglao.If it wasn't for him being so talkative, how would Mr. Ying know the inside story?Who is it?Who is it? !

He never thought it would be Yanyou.In his heart, this person is still an accomplice of Brother Wang, and he would not do such a thing of "selling out the boss".In his heart, the one who can investigate the truth should be a very powerful person, such as the police or something.However, he has no clue.

Turning around like a trapped animal for a few times, he suddenly realized something, and rushed towards the gatekeeper of the community: "Who came to see my grandfather today? Tell me who it is?!"

"Oh, what are you in a hurry for? Let me think about it... It's those people, the professors in the school, who else can be. By the way, there is another man dressed in rags, maybe a repairman."

Xu Shinian was even more desperate when he couldn't get the answer he wanted.But he knew that every day of the rest of his life would be more difficult than this moment.For a person who longs for a future of power, nothing is more cruel than depriving him of his future.However, he didn't have the courage, let alone the ability, to go back to his hometown to eat and die...

Yan You didn't know that he was "underestimated" by Xu Shinian in the end.With a disguise on his face, he couldn't go home, so he had to go to Murong Hui's residence first to "remove makeup".

Although the Murong family moved with their whole family, they still have real estate in China, but it has been in disrepair for a long time and needs to be cleaned up before they can live in it.Moreover, Murong Hui, who is used to modern facilities, can't imagine running halfway down the alley to go to the public toilet, carrying well water to take a bath every day, and lighting a fire to cook with firewood.In addition, he cannot live on campus before school starts, so he has been living in a hotel.

Yan You didn't despise this pampered young master's behavior, but rather envied him: It would be great if he could also arrange a home for grandma with running water, various electrical appliances, and flush toilets.Well, after all, you still have to work hard to make money.

Murong Hui saw that Yan You, who was quite relaxed at first, suddenly had a deep expression on his face, and thought it was because the materials used for changing makeup made his face uncomfortable, so he hurriedly went up and said, "Xiao Yan, let me clean it up for you."

Simmons's mouth was too soft, and he accidentally used too much force. With such a move, he just kissed Yanyou's ear from behind, and his body froze immediately.
