Chapter 502 "Dream of Red Mansions"

Achen was not like this at first. When his wife Mary was still alive, he was still a bit human, but after Mary died, the humanity in his heart was gone. He made secret deals with the police and eradicated dissidents.

A blatant revenge against Huang Zhicheng. He and Huang Zhicheng used to have some friendship.

Before his death in the first part, Han Chen saw everyone as pawns, stepping stones for his achievements and future. He still held the banner of morality, but his heart was full of conspiracies and suspicions.

His heart is cold, just like a ghost. A person is thrown out of his paradise. He will create an ideal hell again. Drugs will harm many people, but so what?

The only trace of humanity left in him is the fear of being "caught". He is not afraid of being caught anymore. He is still afraid of being caught. A thief will be afraid of being an "official" his whole life.

Han Chen is sometimes bold, sometimes timid, sometimes believing in everything, sometimes not believing in anything. He is not so much crazy as he is possessed.

Amin is really crazy. He has personality cognitive disorder. The clinical manifestations of ordinary people are poor self-control and unstable emotions. But he is the opposite. He hides all negative emotions. On the surface, he looks normal.

But he called Han Chen dad. How could a policeman call the leader of a criminal organization dad?

When he was on the phone, Huang Zhicheng came over, and Pomona could feel his pounding heartbeat through the screen.

He was scared to death. A-Ren's performance was much better than A-Ming. If the undercover agent was caught by the gang, he would definitely die miserably. However, A-Ren was still able to calm down and talk to Han Chen, but Han Chen turned against him and took his hand.

The plaster was broken.

Ghosts may not necessarily look scary. Han Chen even looks like Maitreya Buddha when he smiles, but he is still a ghost.

In psychology, it is called antisocial personality, which is characterized by emotional outbursts and impulsive behavior. His killing of Huang Zhicheng is a typical example of impulsive behavior. Following him will lead to glory for a while, but in the end it will lead to destruction.

Achen's impulsiveness forced Amin, who was not very normal to begin with, to kill someone to save himself. Talking logic to a madman would only make him go crazy.

Philosophers like books and thinking, desperadoes like danger and games. Ordinary people have no courage to play in the world of gangsters. Organized crime not only has a complex network of relationships, but also has a strict organizational structure. Hongmen is in the Chinese underground world.

It has always existed. You cannot change your country if you stay in Hong Kong. Wherever there are locust trees, there are Chinese people.

In the movie "The Godfather", even if they are white, even if they are Christians, Italians will encounter the same injustice in justice in the United States and Britain.

Italy is a Catholic country, while Britain and the United States are Protestant. His daughter was almost insulted. When legal means failed, the cake shop owner wanted revenge and had no choice but to ask the "godfather" for help. At that time, the cake shop owner did not want to integrate into the local area.

Gentlemen are harmonious but different, villains are homogeneous but not harmonious. Han Chen is a villain, and his organization is not harmonious with his heart. Except for Foolish Qiang, everyone is with him because of interests. When he dies, they will fall apart and scatter.

No one thought about revenge for him.

Mr. Wen, whom Ma Youjuan followed, was very similar to him. They both had knife-shaped smiles. He opened the Dragon and Phoenix Teahouse where Pomona and the others ate.

On the surface he is a serious businessman, but in fact he is the head of the Tiandihui. Ma Youjuan is his guest, a figure who claims to have power but has no power.

Every organization has moles, and Legilimency is perfect for torture and extorting confessions. Coupled with three drops of Veritaserum, it ensures that no secrets can be hidden.

Organized crime not only has a complex network of relationships and interests, but also has a strict organization. There is a torture hall in Hongmen, and sometimes Ma Youjuan will appear.

Mr. Wen valued him very much, but he had no intention of giving him the management of the entire Chinatown territory. Ma Youjian's position was more like a corolla, that is, someone who specializes in catching traitors. No one would like this kind of person.

From the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the founding of New China, China has been in chaos, and many cultural relics have been resold abroad.

Zhang Jingjiang is an antiquities dealer living in Paris, but he used all his income to finance Sun Wen's support for the Revolution of 1911. After the Revolution of 1911, Zhang Jingjiang returned to China to assist Sun Yat-sen. The Tongyuan Company in Paris was closed, and Lu Qinzhai opened his own antique shop.

, established Lu Wu Antiques Company.

Selling cultural relics is definitely a serious crime now, but it was necessary to do so in that special period of history. The Manchus and Qing Dynasties had to pay compensation if they lost the war, and they plundered the people more cleanly than the Eight-Power Allied Forces. What the Manchus and Qing Dynasties left behind was a poor and destitute country.

After they calmed down, the Zhang family started to recover all the cultural relics that could be recovered. However, it is estimated that the animal heads of the Old Summer Palace, especially the dragon heads, will never be recovered.

Trophies can bring back certain memories. Serial killers often do this. Rasputin also collected women's hair. Looking at the faucet will probably make the collector enjoy the sense of accomplishment of being a "conqueror". I hope this kind of person will take things away.

It is basically impossible to return it to the Chinese.

Similarly, it is difficult to get back the reliefs of the Six Horses of Zhaoling. Lu Qinzhai is different from Zhang Jingjiang. Before him, European and American collectors only collected porcelain, but he inspired European and American collectors to focus on Chinese decorative porcelain.

It has profound cultural heritage in Chinese tomb art and Buddhist art.

Lu Qinzhai built the famous "Paris Red House" in Paris. He once donated money to fund the Revolution of 1911. For a period of time, he subsidized a free lunch for Chinese students studying in the Red House every day. In his later years, Lu Qinzhai concluded that his life was full of contradictions.

, he admitted that he had caused many national treasures to be lost overseas, and felt lucky that these national treasures had been protected from war.

After World War I, Lu Qinzhai realized that the United States had become the center of the antique market. He decided to open the largest antique store in the United States with Wu Qizhou, a Shanghainese, on the corner of Madison and 57th Street in New York. His fame and

His connections soon made him a supplier and consultant to many private museums, and it was from him that the Six Horses of Zhaoling were sent abroad.

Lu Qinzhai broke all the stone carvings of Zhaoling's six horses into pieces and prepared to smuggle them out of the country. Four of them were seized by the Beiyang government, and Sa Luzi and Quan Maojun were lost overseas.

There are many Westerners who like to watch Dream of Red Mansions, but Pomona doesn't like it. She likes Water Margin, Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West, especially the part where Wu Song fights a tiger while drunk, which is really enjoyable.

She doesn't like the beautiful and exquisite garden, which is like an exquisite cage, and she doesn't like the attitude of the people in the Grand View Garden towards Grandma Liu. What's so funny about it?

Especially that Miaoyu, she actually threw away the teacup that Grandma Liu drank from. What kind of attitude did she have?

"Now you know the reason why Zhang can't come to Chinatown?" Severus finished explaining the identities of the two and drank tea. This tea is brewed in the Chinese style. Many Westerners are not used to it and would rather drink lemonade.

.

"Are Cho Chang and Tao Chang related?" Pomona asked.

"I don't know about this. Zhang is a common surname in China, and her parents look like ordinary people."

"Are they all Muggles?"

"No, they are all ordinary people." Severus said in a low voice, "There are not that many stories about them, and China does not care about wizards and Muggles marrying, so there is no need to study their bloodlines."

"I heard that many Chinese wizards don't get married."

"Some are like that, but there are also some who want to get married."

"They don't value bloodline, so what do they value?"

"I spent one night with you in the wild, and Wang Wei thought I should marry you." Severus said without hesitation, "Are their minds still stuck in the 18th century?"

Pomona looked coldly at the wizard who gave her the empire high-waist skirt, and his mind was not very open.

At this time, the food they asked for arrived. It was much more than what they ordered, enough for five or six people.

"I didn't order this." Severus said to the waitress, who was wearing a gorgeous cheongsam.

"This is what Mr. Wen told me. We are guests, please use your leisure." The waitress said in accented English, and then left in a swaying manner.

Pomona looked at the table full of delicacies with extremely complicated emotions.
