Chapter 179 Buy It Now

"First, I saw a young girl riding horses on the grassland with her three younger brothers. She looked majestic and heroic."

"Then I saw a girl who was about to get married and parted with her parents reluctantly. Even her makeup was diluted with tears."

"I also saw the light of maternal love when she gave birth to Emperor Tongzhi, and finally saw the death of Emperor Xianfeng, and she was crying profusely."

"So, she didn't want to look anymore, but when she thought of her miserable cry, she couldn't help but look again. This time she saw Prince Gong, saw Ci'an, and saw Emperor Guangxu's obedience just after he succeeded to the throne."

"Finally, she saw herself and her decayed face. Suddenly her face changed drastically. She couldn't help but wonder, why did she look so gray in the mirror?"

"In an instant, Cixi felt a surge of air in her chest, then she coughed non-stop, and finally coughed up a large pool of blood!"

"The whole bronze mirror was dyed red!"

Speaking of this, Big Scar had a look of regret on his face, and took the initiative to hand over the bronze mirror, pointing to the lines on the copper handle and saying, "Look carefully, there are blood scabs on it that have dried up long ago."

"Isn't this item more valuable than the things on your stall?"

After hearing such a long story, the money runner was really frightened. He actually took the bronze mirror and looked at it carefully.

I can see it from a long distance away. There is indeed blood stains on the bronze mirror, and it is a black blood stain that has been deliberately made old. It can only appear if the blood has dried for a long time, clung to it for a long time, and is extremely well preserved.

Such blood stains.

In addition, judging from the patterns on the bronze mirror, they are basically in line with the characteristics of the late Qing Dynasty. If you were to look at it as an ordinary palm eye master, after hearing the story told by the big scar and the appearance of blood stains, you would definitely think that

Just cut it off and recognize it as genuine!

But I can’t help but sneer!

Although there are very few bronze mirrors that have been authenticated by me, I can still recognize it at a glance. It is a fake!

There is no other reason.

That bronze mirror does indeed exist!

However, it has long been collected by my ancestors and has become one of the many magical artifacts in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. It was collected by my parents earlier!

I've seen it more than once!

This is like a story that was circulated on the Internet before. The famous late Qing Emperor Puyi went to the Forbidden City to play in the Forbidden City after his retirement. He saw a portrait of his father hanging on the palace wall, but the portrait was wrong, so he called in the staff.

Said it was wrong.

The staff didn't take it seriously and looked disdainful. They asked him where he came from. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This is a portrait hung by an antique expert. How could it be hung wrong?

Pu Yi said, although I am not an expert, it is impossible for me not to recognize my father!

For me, it's the same.

As long as you have a keen eye in the antique business, after seeing the real thing once, you will never forget it again, otherwise you will ruin your job!

Big Scar, instead of doing his old job, started "fishing for wild fish".

Fishing for wild fish is also a vernacular in the antique business.

It means that some people who are usually idle take fake goods as genuine goods and go to various stalls where they don't know how to sell them.

Coupled with excellent eloquence, he can often fool many people.

If you are lucky, you can make a fortune.

There is a place called Panjiayuan in the capital. There are a lot of these things. They talk about heirlooms and the like, and they can fool many people.

No, following Scar's few words, some curious college students gathered around, ready to watch the show with Chen Meng and me.

The stall owner looked at it carefully and saw that he was not a fool after all. He asked with a vigilant look on his face: "As you said, this is a good treasure. Why don't you sell it to someone who knows the goods?"

This is also the biggest loophole.

Since this thing is the last mirror that the Empress Dowager Cixi looked into, why did you come to me to sell it instead of taking it to a pawn shop or something like that?

The money given there is quite a lot.

But Big Scar had already thought of the reason, and said with a smile: "Brother, you don't understand this. Before I see you, this thing doesn't belong to me!"

"It has been hidden by the old woman in my family. Her ancestors were palace maids in the late Qing Dynasty, so they passed this thing down. She carries it with her every day, and it is difficult to steal even if she wants to.

Even if you don’t give it, you are simply considering it more important than your own life!”

"No, the old lady passed away two days ago. I spent a lot of effort to get this thing in my hands, but I didn't dare to sell it to people who didn't know the goods. There happened to be someone in my house.

If you open an antique shop, you will be caught if you take action, so won’t this be the case for you?”

"As the saying goes, Jianghu Buyu often brings goods, and he moves through the yin and yang to move through the universe. When shipping goods, he has to find someone who takes the money. Isn't this the truth?"

As soon as these words came out, the stall owner believed most of them, and the doubts in his eyes faded away. He obviously believed what he said.

There is no other reason. The first two sentences are not important. What is important is the last sentence.

Big Scar directly pointed out the identity of the stall owner as a money man, and also spoke a Jianghu dialect, which was telling him that I know you are a money man, and I came to you to ship goods, so I understand the rules.

What are the rules for moneymakers?

When entrusting shipment, whether it is true or false, it must be stated in advance.

As long as it's genuine, if it's valuable and you can buy it, you'll definitely not refuse anyone who comes.

If it is later discovered that the goods are fake, then the money smugglers living in other places will come to the door to cause trouble, pay compensation and get beaten.

Some people may ask, if a villain like Big Scar takes a fake product as the real thing, can't he just take the money and run away?

What are you afraid of settling accounts later?

This is the benefit of moneymakers helping many people.

Money walkers can be found on almost any street across the country.

They are a gang on the surface, but secretly they are just spider webs entwining each other. Otherwise, why would they be as famous as the Beggar Clan?

In the early years, there were still people who did not believe in evil and specifically used this method to find trouble with money smugglers.

Later, after several people died and several corpses were hung up, the reputation spread among the people, and no one dared to trouble the money smuggler.

This big scar was obviously prepared.

Although the college students watching around him couldn't understand what he said, the stall owner and I both knew that the deal was probably going to go through.

The stall owner said happily: "It's easy to say, easy to say, it's a good thing. What's the price in your mind?"

A look of success flashed in Da Dao Scar's eyes, and he pretended to be deep in thought, and slowly said: "I don't like to lie, and I don't want to haggle, so I won't come with those false and true ones. It's a fixed price.
