In the antique street of Fugang City, Tang Zhengguo’s store was eventually moved away.
The items inside were all disposed of and exchanged for some money. The shop owner gave it to Tang Zhengguo's son, Tang Hai, who valued it at around a hundred thousand yuan.
At Tang Hai's age, he still doesn't know what a hundred or ten thousand means, but he knows that his father will never come back.
In comparison, Tang Hai is actually lucky. When his father was alive, he was very kind to him. After his father passed away, he still had Teacher Han Roumei. Teacher Han and his family were all very kind to him.
Xiao Qing was also lucky. The Xiao family in Jiangnan suddenly encountered changes. He who was supposed to inherit the Xiao family's mantle and become a treasure appraiser suddenly turned into a rising star in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.
There is a good master. Before he officially became a Chinese medicine practitioner, his name was already known in the industry.
Because of a marriage contract, I walked out of the mountain and came to Dragon City.
Although there has not been any substantial progress with Lin Qingyu, if it were not for Zhou Shen, the two of them might have been together long ago.
The one who looks the worst is actually Zhou Shen.
He was born into a wealthy family but turned out to be a fake prince. He was squeezed out of his position by Ye Fan and returned home to be an ordinary person. Fortunately, he has a mother, Zhou Yueling, and an uncle, Zhou Hai, who is not very reliable.
But both the Xiao family and the Ye family looked down upon their family.
If Zhou Shen's soul hadn't arrived and replaced Ye Shen, the consequences might not have been so good.
Zhou Shen was stroking his cell phone, and the situation in front of him was gradually coming to light. Now it is not difficult to see that as long as Xiao Qing and Xiao Zheng are kept here, this plan will be a perfect success.
Both Ding Ye and Xiao Cheng were actually kept in the dark by Zhou Shen. Zhou Shen's real goal was always only one, and that was Xiao Qing!
After explaining his plan, although Mr. Ding said he wanted to think about it, Zhou Shen could tell that he was moved.
Lao Wu and Lao Qi were both in the next room. Zhou Shen knew they were here to monitor him, so he didn't say anything or resist. They had to make the Xiao family feel at ease, right?
"Hello? Second Master Xiao, it's me, Zhou Shen!"
"Brother Zhou, how is the progress?"
"The progress is going well. This Mr. Ding and I have had a good rap. We have agreed that as long as we get the lotus leaf cover jar, he will help us deal with the Xiao family. By then, the three classics will be yours!"
Xiao Cheng was immediately overjoyed when he heard this. It seems that this Zhou Shen is not simple at all, and his ability to do things is not bad!
But where should I find this lotus leaf covered jar?
"I don't have any information about this lotus leaf lidded jar. Do you know where to find it?"
"Of course I know. I developed this ally, and of course I went to find the lotus leaf lid jar. You don't have to worry about this, just be prepared!"
Mr. Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"I know I saw the right person. Are you interested in joining the Xiao family and planning a big plan with us?"
Join you?
I would be really stupid to join you!
Zhou Shen sneered secretly. Mr. Xiao's mind was spinning very fast. He didn't know if he was thinking about how to deal with him secretly just a second ago!
If you cooperate with this kind of person, you may die without even knowing it!
"Forget it. After this incident is over, I plan to return to Dragon City. You have also obtained the collection of three scriptures. We will cooperate again if we have the opportunity!"
"Okay, then I'll be waiting for your good news!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Shen didn't sit idle. He put on a hat and went directly to the harbor area.
He was going to inquire and see what Xiao Qing was doing in the harbor area!
…
Night falls slowly.
In the harbor area, Chang Duyan is sitting in a fishing boat, with hot pot on the small table in front of him, a bottle of Maotai, and several bottles of mellow white wine, which looks like it is home-brewed.
Sitting opposite Chang Duyan was the old man, still holding a pipe in his hand and coughing from time to time.
"One Eye, you are quite a few years old. Do you have a wife or children?"
Chang Duyan smiled and nodded, saying:
"Yes, yes, but I don't go back to see them all year round. Life is pretty good in my hometown. I just send them money from time to time!"
"Do you regret it? In fact, this industry is gradually losing its prospects!"
Chang Duyan knew what the old man meant. From the last century until more than 20 years ago, the antique industry was very popular.
Especially the huge network that cannot be seen underground. Some people buy it, and some people steal it, dig it up, or even rob it.
But now there are still people who are interested in antiques, but most of the goods have been dug up.
Luo City, the ancient capital of several dynasties, has thousands of robber caves, large and small. How many good things can be left?
Gradually, this industry will be eliminated. When they first entered the industry, some people made tens of millions or hundreds of millions a year, but now they only make 1.8 million in profits a year.
Moreover, the backers behind Chang Duyan still have to take a commission.
For example, Yang Guofu is now the apparently richest man in Longcheng. Even if he no longer cares about the company, his monthly income is still as much as Chang Duyan's annual income.
Because of Chang Duyan, they can't sell many good things all year round, but hot pot is eaten every day.
"Old Master, can you tell me what happened when you went to sea?"
The old man knocked on his pipe and sighed. Just as he was about to speak, several people came up from outside the fishing boat.
Yue Bankai and Teacher Qin, and behind them, is Xiao Qing.
"Old man, excuse me, tell me what happened back then, we are also curious!"
Wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket when the moon is half-open, it cools down quite a lot at night. Even a fat person is afraid of the cold.
Teacher Qin was still dressed as he was during the day and said nothing, but he was also very curious.
Xiao Qing just came here, and it looked like a story party, so he was very interested.
The old man smiled and said:
"You are all still young and don't know the situation back then. The sunken ship we found at that time was on the high seas..."
According to the old man, when a sunken ship was found on the high seas, a brother with good water skills went down to check it out with equipment on his back. When he came up, he told them that this was a good thing from the Ming Dynasty.
Most of the items on the ship were gifts from foreign countries, and there were miscellaneous items. As long as they could catch a sack, they could make a lot of money.
Several people were excited at that time, but later the old man's arm was injured. Because of the wind on the sea, when the waves came over, the hull of the ship tilted, and the old man hit his arm, which seemed to be a bone fracture.
So several people discussed it and decided to let the old man watch the boat on the boat. The seven or eight people who came with him all went into the water.
It didn't take long at first, but the old man had to wait on the boat for three whole days!
There was no reaction, so the old man knew something was wrong.
I put on my diving suit and jumped down to look around. I ran out of oxygen and couldn't find anyone.
Later, I had no choice but to sail back alone. This is the whole story.
Xiao Qing sighed after hearing this. In fact, it was not easy.
