Shengshibaojian

A courtyard within the Second Ring Road of Yanjing City.

This courtyard is close to Chang'an Avenue, and the straight-line distance to Tianlinmen is less than one kilometer. The gate at the entrance is not big, and there is a wild grass plaque hanging on the top, saying that the immortal lives in the wild.

The quadrangle courtyard is divided into two sides and one master, occupying a small area, and the courtyard is full of vibrant scenes of singing birds and fragrant flowers.

Stepping into the hall, the room is clean and tidy. On the left and right sides are two huge vases for welcoming guests. Glass display cabinets are built on the four walls of the room. Porcelain is placed on the side facing the sun. The fine porcelain of the dynasty is clearly visible.

The side facing south displays the calligraphy and paintings of famous masters, most of which are modern calligraphy and paintings, such as Lin Sanzhi's vertical calligraphy and painting, Li Keran's collection of works, Li Kuchan's "Eagle", and Mr. Wu Zuoren's "Goldfish".

The huge courtyard seems to be a miniature museum, and the owner of this courtyard is Mr. Liu Dongyang, the president of Yanjing Antiques Association.

Today, the master was the host, and invited Mei Junhong, Shen Qiu, Yang Qing, and several masters who appraised treasures with him to hold a special tea party here.

In the middle of the courtyard is a custom-made huanghuali wood table about eight meters long.

The wooden table of huanghuali is very common, but such a large huanghuali is rare in China. The wooden surface of the whole huanghuali is as thick as ten centimeters.

The desktop presents the most original texture of huanghuali, and the four sides ingeniously depict the allusions and stories of the Three Kingdoms, one is the three knots in Taoyuan, borrowing arrows from straw boats, empty city plan, and burning Chibi.

The wood of such a large size alone is at least tens of millions of grades. Considering all aspects of the situation, the conservative price of this long table of huanghuali is 3000 million.

Observing things is like observing people. From Liu Yangdong's huanghuali tea table, it can be seen that this person has extraordinary strength and extensive connections.

"Everyone, it will be three o'clock, and there is still half an hour left. I have an appointment with Guo Xiuyun here to talk about Yuan Shikai's jade seal. I think Guo Xiuyun's attitude is okay, so let's listen to the wind in advance, Master Mei? This Do you have any thoughts on the incident?"

Mei Junhong first bowed to Liu Dongyang with fists in her arms: "Thanks to President Liu for his help. My attitude towards this matter has always been very clear. Guo Xiuyun must pay the price for what he did more than 20 years ago. He not only has to return the A piece of jade seal, and you have to exchange your life for your life! Blood debt blood repayment!"

When Mei Junhong said this, there was a biting murderous aura clearly in his words.

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, Master Lei frowned and said, "Master Mei, your request is a little too much. It's not easy for Guo Xiuyun to agree to sit down with us and talk. Killed people!"

Mei Junhong looked at him with angry eyes: "Is it too much? Isn't it a matter of course to kill people for their lives? If it wasn't for Guo Xiuyun who secretly changed the jade seal back then, my father would not have died! I also let him live for 20 more years, That's kind enough!"

"Not too much, not too much..."

Liu Yangdong shook his head and said: "Master Mei's request is not excessive at all. Guo Xiuyun is really shameful and hateful. Even if he is cut into pieces, he should be cut into pieces. But Master Mei, do we have to distinguish between priorities? Our most important thing now It is to retrieve Yuan Shikai's jade seal and try every means to get Guo Xiuyun to hand it over, right?"

"You also know that Guo Xiuyun is a well-known old fox. It's really not easy to pry the gold teeth out of his mouth. The old man suggests that you put down your personal grievances first, and take the jade seal back first. The national interest is the most important thing. You Do you think that's possible?"

Shen Qiu also felt that what the old man said was reasonable, so he quietly suggested to Mei Junhong: "Master Mei, President Liu's words are reasonable, the one who takes revenge should let it go first, it is best to check this person's tone first..."

Mei Junhong pondered for a moment and said, "That's fine, just help according to President Liu's wishes."

"Okay! Just wait for your words, Master Mei. When Guo Xiuyun comes, don't say anything. Leave everything to the four of us. Master Mei will wait for the good news!"

……

Shen Qiu originally wanted to meet this legendary Guo Xiuyun, but who knew that a phone call came at around 03:30, the call was from Master Pao, and the voice was particularly urgent.

"It's not good, brother! Something happened! A boy called Ma Jianfeng came to the store! It was the son of Boss Ma. He said that Boss Ma was beaten up. He was beaten terribly! Now his life is in danger and he is being rescued in the emergency room of the hospital." !"

"Boss Ma?" The enthusiastic face appeared in Shen Qiu's mind: "What's going on? How did you get sent to the emergency room after all the good things?"

"Brother, I can't tell you clearly on the phone, so hurry up and come to the hospital!"

……

The incident happened so suddenly, Shen Qiu didn't have time to think about it, so he called Master Pao and rushed to the hospital without stopping.

When he arrived at the hospital, Boss Ma had already pushed him out of the emergency room. Even though Shen Qiu was mentally prepared, when he arrived at the scene, Shen Qiu still took a deep breath.

Boss Ma's whole body was covered with thick gauze, his facial features were tightly wrapped, only his eyes and mouth were exposed.

One of his legs was hung high, with a thick plaster sandwiched between the joints. It was obvious that someone had broken the leg.

"Brother Ma..."

Shen Qiu's heart was pierced like a knife, and he went up to grab Boss Ma's hands.

"Shen Qiu... my good brother... I... I'm sorry, I don't want to trouble you..." Boss Ma tried to get up and greet Shen Qiu.

"Don't, don't, brother Ma, you can just lie down, what's going on? Why did you get beaten up like this!"

Master Pao couldn't stand it anymore: "This attack is too ruthless! Not only the head was broken, but also the legs were broken! Boss Ma just say who did it! Master Pao, I will vent my anger on you!"

Boss Ma took a sip of water and intermittently narrated the matter from beginning to end.

It turned out that the origin of this matter was actually the mahogany four-gold happy bucket from last time!

"Brother, you also know that I usually talk a lot, especially after drinking, I can't hold back anymore. Didn't you help me pick up a leak last time? Taomu Sijinxi barrel, I drink too much and talk too much." After blowing a few words, the neighbors in the neighborhood know that my family has a wedding bucket from the Qing Dynasty, a four-gold wedding bucket for marriage proposals! I picked up a big leak!"

"A group of people came to the store in the morning. The leader was a gangster named Biaozi. This guy knew him. He opened a new antique shop at the southwestern gate. It was called Biaoye Treasure Shop! He asked by name when he entered the door and wanted to buy mine. That four-gold wedding bucket, it is said that the boss has taken a fancy to it! On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, I will use it to propose a marriage! I want to buy my wedding bucket at a high price! Ask me to give me 20!"

"I explained to them at the time that I don't want to sell this wedding bucket, because it has a good meaning, and I plan to keep it for my son to come to propose a marriage! You know my son... my son is going to get married soon... "

"That guy Biaozi thought the price was not enough, so he increased the price to 30! He insisted on buying this happy bucket!"

"I said it's not about money, and I don't lack that little money. I really plan to leave it to my son!"

"Biaozi was furious, and said that the big boss of Xitong is a certain big shot in Yanjing. If he took a fancy to my Xitong, it would give me face. If you sell it, you have to sell it! If you don't sell it, you have to sell it!"

"I thought they were unreasonable, so I went up and argued with them. You also know my temper. No one can buy something that I don't want to sell! Even the king of heaven and I can't do it! In the end...it ended up like this. The next stack of banknotes, I took my family’s happy bucket and ran away! I just can’t swallow this... I’d rather smash this happy bucket than sell him.”

"This is too unreasonable!" Hearing this, Pao Ye became angry: "Isn't this just like Ming Qiang? These bastards are too arrogant! Boss Ma! This matter Just leave it to me! We will help you vent your anger! Master Pao must teach these little bastards a lesson today!"

Shen Qiu was silent, he turned around and said meaningfully: "Propose marriage on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month? How could it be such a coincidence?"

"What? Brother? You know that big man?"

Shen Qiu let out a long breath to appease Boss Ma: "Brother Ma! Shen Qiu takes care of this nonsense, no matter what kind of god he is, I have to spit out whatever he takes away!"
