The person who came was none other than Jin Wantang.
He found it after seeing the picture in the newspaper. He had seen the scorpion in the beads a year ago. Xie Yuchen paid a high price. When he saw the news about the found object, he immediately came to the door and brought him
The diary of Ma's grandfather.
However, when he learned that the person who asked about the news was Wu Xie, he was immediately dumbfounded, "What's going on? Didn't you already look for me, Mistress?"
Wu Xie narrowed his eyes, and his first reaction was that this old boy was coveting the bounty offered by Xiaohua, and came here to make something out of nothing.
The fat man was disgusted by the big gold tooth. He didn't know how many times he had tricked him. He immediately stepped forward, grabbed him, and shouted, "Hey! You old boy can't fool anyone. How dare you fool him today?"
You have fooled our mistress, please tell me honestly, who the hell asked you to come?"
Jin Wantang was so frightened by the fat man's loud shout that his liver trembled and he cried, "Oh, I really didn't lie to you. Even if you lend me the big gold tooth and ten brave men, you wouldn't dare to come here to fool Mr. Hua'er and Mr. Mistress."
.”
Xie Yuchen saw that his expression didn't seem to be fake, so he waved his hand to signal the fat man to let him go first, "You said Wu Xie has already looked for you once, what's going on?"
Jin Wantang said quickly: "Xiao Jiuye, I really didn't lie to you. What I said is true. Xiaosanye did come to Liulichang to find me a year ago. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to ask me in the store.
Boy, he can testify."
"Go, go, go!" the fat man pinched the back of his neck and said angrily, "Who are you fooling? Your little boy in the store, of course it's what you say. Hurry up and tell the truth, otherwise you will be punished.
.”
Jin Wantang's forehead was so anxious that he was sweating, trying desperately to explain, "Fat Master, I really didn't lie to you this time..."
Wu Xie's eyes were fixed on Jin Wantang, "You said I came to you a year ago? When exactly? What is the reason why I came to you? Is it also because of this scorpion picture?"
"That's right, that's why. I remember clearly that you were still carrying a backpack and wearing a hat."
Jin Wantang had a grimace on his face and said, "Young Master, you are so handsome and unrestrained. I forget the world after seeing you. No matter how old and dim my eyes are, I, Da Jinya, will never admit your mistake."
Wu Xie sneered: "But at the end of October last year, I was learning to deal with handicap matters with my third uncle, and I didn't even look for you."
To be precise, he was wearing the third uncle's mask at that time.
"Ah?" When he heard what he said, Jin Wantang's face turned pale with fright, "Hey, my ancestors, please stop teasing me, mistress. It's impossible to make such a joke, this, this, this... this
It’s so scary. It was you who really came to my door in the first place, and the voice and tone of his words were exactly the same as yours now, so there’s no difference.”
The room was silent. Seeing that Wu Xie and the others were silent, Jin Wantang became more and more panicked. Although the sun was shining brightly outside, cold sweat broke out on his back. He muttered, "Could it be, could it be that mistress?
is fake?"
The fat man pinched his collar and said, "Nonsense, it's not false. It's bright and clear and you're still a ghost."
Jin Wantang almost couldn't take a breath and wished he could faint on the spot.
"Then... who is that person? Why would he pretend to be a mistress to deceive others?" Jin Wantang felt that his little heart was hurt ten thousand times.
"You're asking me? Who am I going to ask?" Fatty drank, "Tell me the truth, what else did that impostor say to you at that time?"
"Just ask Xie Zi, he only asked about Xie Zi and didn't ask anything else." Jin Wantang said hurriedly.
Wu Xie squinted his eyes, so it turned out that someone was really pretending to be him and found Jin Wantang first to ask about the whereabouts of the scorpion pattern.
The camouflage technique is so good, who could that person be?
He thought of the person who used his face to sneak into the Jude Kao team and enter the Zhang Family Ancient Building on Mount Banai. Now it has been proven that that person did not die in the Zhang Family Ancient Building at that time.
The most important thing is, what is his purpose in disguising himself?
Xie Yuchen frowned slightly, "Tell me in detail, when exactly it was, and what did he say to you."
Jin Wantang responded hurriedly, and patted the collar of the fat man's neck with his backhand, "Fat man, please let go first, and listen to me tell you slowly. You are strangling me like this and I can't even breathe."
The fat man and Wu Xie looked at each other, and Wu Xie nodded lightly at him. The fat man snorted coldly and let go of his hand, "I'm sorry you kid doesn't dare to play any tricks."
Jin Wantang was complaining in his heart, and he could only laugh when he encountered such a traitor.
I thought it was an easy job to make money, but I didn't expect that the money was not seen, but instead caused a lot of trouble. I could only comfort myself silently in my heart, at least there was no loss for the time being.
"Let me think about it." Jin Wantang recalled, "It must have been October last year. In the second half of October, the third master, ah, no, that dummy came to my layman's hall to ask for some items.
Those items are all fine Tibetan jewelry, and three of the bead strings have a very strange red bead on them."
"That kind of bead is relatively rare. It's called moonstone, and it's a blood-red moonstone. Oh my, it's really very rare. It's worth your money." Jin Wantang sighed.
The fat man urged him impatiently, "Young lady, tell me the important point."
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Listen to me and tell you slowly. It's quite a long story."
Jin Wantang carefully moved to the chair, picked up the tea bowl on the table, lightly sipped his throat, and continued: "The point is here, in the three red moonstones, on the inner wall of the hole, there is a disc lying on it.
The scorpions on the Nine-turn Lotus, the three scorpions have different postures."
Jin Wantang narrated what happened at that time, and also told what happened to the Ma Pingchuan family in Maba Town, Huai'an, including the fake Wu Xie's analysis of the Ma family's downfall.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "He analyzed at the time that there was someone behind the scenes that caused the Ma family to move. He wanted to find out who did it, so I followed him.
He said that if the Ma family member was still alive, he would still be in Nepal now, so he went to look for it."
"Oh, by the way, he also asked me to help find out whether the descendants of the Ma family who used Ma Pingchuan's ancient books for appraisal are still in Jiangsu. I checked, and they are not there. There is no trace of that family's life in Jiangsu, so they
He must have returned to Nepal again." Jin Mandang added.
Wu Xie frowned, "In other words, the person pretending to be me later went to Nepal?"
"Yes, yes, if nothing else happens, I should have gone there. I couldn't find any trace of the Ma family in Jiangsu, so I called him and told him." Jin Wantang said quickly.
The fat man hissed, "What do you mean, do you have the contact information of the impostor?"
Jin Wantang hurriedly took out his cell phone, "There are many. He left me a number at that time, but I only called him once."
"Then what nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you find it quickly?" the fat man scolded.
Jin Wantang responded and hurriedly looked for it. In the rush, his palms were so slippery with sweat that he could hardly hold the phone.
The fat man thought he was being annoying, so he snatched it away and rummaged around for a long time. He turned through the call records all the way to the last one, but there was no letter there. "Where is it? Isn't it the donkey that you are so special to?"
Jin Wantang slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot about this in a hurry. Last time I dropped my phone in the toilet and it became unusable. Then I replaced it with a new one. No wonder."
The fat man was so angry that he leaned back and really wanted to throw the broken cell phone into his face.
Jin Wantang shrank his neck, and under the fat man's glare, he said weakly: "Well, Fatty, I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet, I have another trick, I should write it down in the little notebook in my shop
I’ll call the clerk in the store for his phone number and ask him to look for it quickly.”
After struggling for a long time, he finally got the phone number. Wu Xie called it with suspicion, only to hear a female robotic voice that almost made him angry, "Sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable. Please verify it before calling again."
broadcast……"
Jin Wantang's head drooped lower and lower under a string of English voices. He could already feel the murderous aura from hell.
"It's all my fault. With my brain, why didn't I think of checking it out at that time?"
Jin Wantang knew that he had caused trouble, and hurriedly slapped himself on the face, and said with a smile: "But then again, you are so prestigious, mistress. Who would have thought that someone would have the courage to come here?"
I'm pretending to be you...I didn't think of this at the moment. It's normal, right?"
The matter was obviously clear at this point. After Xie Yuchen asked about the specific city in Nepal where the Ma family's original address was, he didn't want to hear that he was poor anymore, so he waved and asked people to see him off.
After Jin Wantang left, there were only three of them left in the room.
"Now we are very sure that someone went to find the Scorpion Tomb discovered by the Ma family before us, and the ancient tomb buried under the ground is also related to the Zhang Qiling we know." Xie Yuchen said.
Wu Xie looked at the ancient book in his hand and nodded, "The Zhang family has always been a longevity family, so it's not surprising that my little brother appeared at that time."
The fat man closed the door and came close to the two of them, "Then if I say that, my little brother is already over a hundred years old if he has lived until now. I'm a good boy, he is really a living god."
"The focus now is to find out the connection between the origin of the scorpion tomb and the Tibetan Sherpa bead left by the wooden fish." Wu Xie said decisively, "Fat man, you stay here and continue to investigate the news. I have to go there.
Nepal.”
The fat man hesitated for a moment, "If we go now, wouldn't it mean that the day lilies are all cold? That person had already been there a year ago. What can we find if we go there?"
"No matter how many clues are left, we have to go." Wu Xie said firmly, "The person pretending to be me has been hiding in the dark. We are in the open and must understand his purpose of doing this, otherwise our situation will be too great.
Being passive, Muyu must have a reason for giving the snow bead to you and Yuncai, but it's a pity that we found it too late."
The fat man immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay, that's it, let's split up."
Jie Yuchen listened quietly to the arrangements of the two people and said, "Wu Xie, it's too dangerous for you to be alone. How about I go with you."
"No need." Wu Xie looked at him and said, "Xiaohua, you have more important things to do while you stay here."
"Fatty's phone calls and messages in Banai are being monitored. You have the manpower to help check it out," Wu Xie said.
"Also, Fatty and I have to hide in the dark for the time being. You have to find someone to wear a mask to help us delay. We have to confuse the eyes of the forces in the dark. The one who plays Fatty still has to return to Banai.
Yuncai and the others are providing cover, so it won't be a big problem. The situation in the hall at my place has basically stabilized now. With Pan Zi guarding us, there won't be any trouble for the time being."
Xie Yuchen nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll make arrangements right now, you two should be careful."
﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉
Three days later, Wu Xie, wearing an ordinary mixed-race face and a curly brown-black wig, was arranged by Xie Yuchen to join a team that went to the local area to investigate Hinduism and arrived in Nepal.
The first stop of the inspection group was the ancient city of Badgang. The leader of the group was a well-rounded man, and his status was somewhat hidden. They were placed directly in the residential buildings surrounding the pagoda and temple.
They would go to the pagoda at scheduled times every day to listen to eminent monks chanting and preaching. Wu Xie fished with the people arranged by Xiaohua in the inspection group, took advantage of the opportunity to rest, and sneaked out, and successfully found the address of the Ma family in Nepal.
.
But a tower was being built there, and the ruins of the original one had been bulldozed.
Wu Xie felt bad and hurriedly spent money to inquire about the surrounding residents. Only then did he learn that a violent explosion had occurred here a year ago, and the entire Ma family's old house and courtyard were razed to the ground.
Wu Xie was greatly disappointed. After returning, he called Xie Yuchen and told him that the clues were broken. The guy who was pretending to be himself was very simple in eliminating the clues. Things were getting more and more difficult.
However, coincidentally, just the day before he was going to find an excuse to leave Nepal, the leader of the inspection team took them to visit the shrine of the pagoda. Before leaving, in order to express his gratitude for the influence of Buddhism and eternal blessings, etc.
Everyone donated some money.
Wu Xie lined up in the middle and back of the team, with people arranged by Xiaohua to cover him. He has not revealed his secrets these days.
When he walked to the stone platform with the altar table, he put all the money he had into the merit box. When he turned to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something from the corner of his eye.
He immediately stood still and stared directly at the record book under the monk's hand.
The monk's hand paused slightly while turning the page. He didn't understand why the gentleman didn't leave after donating the money, so he bowed again and blessed, "May the kind gentleman be safe and happy, and everything goes as he wishes."
Wu Xie didn't listen to what he was saying at all. He turned the page back and his eyes suddenly froze.
In a large circle of tadpole text, there is a name composed of Chinese characters that is particularly conspicuous.
