Chapter 158: A businessman reselling antiques. Two tough men rode through the crowd on horseback. They yelled, "Pedestrians get out of the way!" while charging wildly and galloping on their horses.
The rider behind him even knocked off the middle-aged man's turban with his whip! In the Dashun Dynasty, it was a great insult for a man to have his turban or hat knocked off!
However, including the middle-aged man himself, and everyone standing around, they could only look at the backs of the two men on horseback with a sidelong glance, and then spit hard on the ground.
, everything will be fine?
Seeing such a situation, Dongfang Xiao felt very frustrated. He frowned and was about to fly forward and ask those two idiots. If they accidentally hurt someone, they had to accompany them no matter what!
However, everyone pulled Dongfang Xiao and tried to persuade him not to miss our big things because of trivial things! God knows, what kind of things are called big things?
Dongfang Xiao angrily took back the long sword that had been unsheathed, faced everyone with a dark face, and asked: "Why are you so unconfident and so afraid of them? It feels like they are your nemesis. What on earth is this?"
What's going on? Do you know them? Do you know their details? "
"Their background is not small. It is said that they are from Binzhou. They are merchants who resell antiques. Recently, they seem to be particularly interested in the treasures passed down from the palace of the previous dynasty, that is, the Dazheng Dynasty. They and our Han family in Hanjiazhuang
The God of Wealth is an old friend, and he comes here every now and then. I heard that the 'Han Family Gift Voucher' we have there is a bad idea they came up with! It's such a scam!" It was still the middle-aged man who was explaining, and he picked it up and dropped it.
The turban on the ground dusted him off numbly, and stared blankly at the backs of the two people who were leaving, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him, not even the slightest bit.

"I don't know your names yet. Once the Inspector asks, if you can't tell me, won't you laugh out loud?" Dongfang Xiao smiled, pointed at the middle-aged man and asked, "I only introduced it to the Inspector.
A big beard, a bald man, etc. can't solve the problem. That would be too difficult! Okay, please introduce yourselves."
"Your Majesty is absolutely right!" said the middle-aged man, "My name is Han Cheng. My mother told me when she was still alive that she and my father just wanted me to be an honest person and have a safe life, so they named me "Old".
soil name"
"This name is quite good! It's very real," Dongfang Xiao said with a serious face, "The name is just a code name! Take me as an example, I have the compound surname Dongfang and the sole name Xiao. My father and mother mean very much.
To be clear, even at dawn, I was born very straightforward and frank! I will never be sloppy."
Everyone smiled slightly, and then each said his or her name.
At this moment, the quiet afternoon dirt road seemed to suddenly become alive again.
Han Cheng begged Dongfang Xiao: "Sir, let's go back to the village together? How happy will my mother be if she knows that the plenipotentiary representative of the Inspector has come to investigate the public situation? My uncle is looking forward to the stars and the moon! Oh.
, My uncle is the old man who played the huqin at the inn last time, and Sifeng is my uncle’s granddaughter. She is also waiting to sing for you."
"It's rare for you to be so enthusiastic. The Inspector must be very grateful when he knows about it! Okay, I won't say more. I'd better go back to the village as soon as possible. However, I must explain that this time, it is a private visit incognito, so there is no need to be too particular.
Please be as easy-going as possible on the reception form. I would like to meet those two antique dealers!" After Dongfang Xiao said that, he took a step forward and strode forward.
…
At the same time, Rich Man Han was sitting in the hall of his home, smiling at the two guests.
Sitting across from me were the two burly men who were galloping along the trail this afternoon.
At this time, the two ladies were sitting together, holding the tea made by the servant in their hands. After taking a sip, one of the tall men emphasized: "Those templates must be kept well! Don't be careless.
Ah, Master Han!"
"Brothers, don't worry. The keeper of the minting department is the nephew of the Sa family. He is determined not to take his own life for granted. Let him identify it and make some fine-tuning and modifications to make it more realistic.
Yes!" Rich Man Han replied with a smile, "I want to use it here first! To be honest with the two brothers, for me, it is forbidden to get some tokens and distribute them in the village for internal circulation.
The hands and feet of these poor devils, however, always feel that the pieces of white paper and the tokens stamped with wood carvings are not a solution after all. Putting aside the beauty, light circulation is a problem! I think it is better to use yours
Let’s get some templates out so that we can test it out. How long is the service life of something made with this new process? Anyway, let’s revitalize it first and promote prosperity, hahahaha!”
"Of course, this is also the purpose of our master! Hehe, Dashun Chao? We want to see how long you can keep it smooth?" The two men looked at each other and smiled, roared from the bottom of their hearts, and then raised their hands
The tea cup in my hand, "Gudong, Gudong", a burst of drinking
At this time, the tall man clasped his hands together, raised them respectfully by his ears, and then smiled at his accomplice: "Our fourteenth prince is truly blessed! There must be help from experts everywhere,
It's not too late for this great cause of restoration! Here, if Mr. Han wants to try to use it, it can be regarded as a good touchstone. It will undoubtedly be a stroke of genius to boost our master's restoration plan, and it is no different from being timely.
Dongfeng, the master once said, 'How long has our great Zheng Jiye been silent in the world? Here, we have endured the humiliation, worked hard, and fought day and night, just for the moment when our dreams come true, to gather and have fun, and to wait for the beauty of the country and the country to return, and the help of thousands of heroes!'
Brothers, let the flame of restoration burn even brighter!"
"Who says it's not? Haha!" The companion laughed, looked at Han Dacaishen with pride, and said with confidence, "The reason why our master wants to keep this template in your place for safekeeping is because, Han
The master is enthusiastic about the restoration cause. As a descendant of the former Zheng royal family, he still maintains the excellent moral character of the Zheng Dynasty. Haha, restoration is just around the corner! Secondly, in order to speed up the disruption of the market order in Dashun, he actively encourages people to participate in this
It is a rare opportunity to come to this revolutionary movement! Soon, we will no longer have to pretend to be antique dealers, we are also the princes of the Great Zheng Kingdom! We are also eagerly looking forward to this day coming as soon as possible!"
"As long as we work together, nothing is impossible!" Rich Man Han also smiled sinisterly, "You agreed to give me a try first, which is a great encouragement to me. I will act cautiously and take it seriously.
, the prosperity of Dashun? Hum hum, go to hell! The restoration of Dazheng is what the people want!"
Here, while they were talking and laughing, they heard the guard at the door yelling: "Who are you looking for?!"
This was agreed in advance. Whenever a stranger came over, the servants would ask at the top of their lungs. This was actually to inform the people in the hall that there was an irrelevant person coming and they should be careful to avoid it.
The two men, who claimed to be the princes of the former Great Zheng Kingdom, stared at Old Han cautiously, nodded knowingly, took out a Buddha statue from the bag they brought with them, handed it to Old Han, and pretended to let him
Hold, then, sit together, comment and appreciate
After all, the home of a rich man in the countryside is not a government official house, so it needs to be heavily guarded! Of course, there are no conditions for that, but visitors must be notified before they can enter. This is common sense.
However, after a while, without warning, a man with a cross-body backpack broke in outside the door. Upon closer inspection, besides Dongfang Xiao, who had just arrived at Hanjiazhuang, who else could be there?
Dongfang Xiao walked over and murmured: "What do the two gatekeepers know about antiques? Are you trying to make things difficult like this? Huh! If it delays your master and me doing business, I will see how you explain it.
How can I bear this responsibility?!"
When the two servants at the door heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned. They couldn't figure out what was going on. Then they looked at each other and then looked at Dongfang Xiao. They seemed to have an air of publicity and were not like ordinary businessmen!
Moreover, the sword on his waist is clearly a status symbol!
Well, this is no ordinary man! The two servants who thought they were well-informed did not dare to make any mistakes, so they had no choice but to let Dongfang Xiao into the courtyard. However, they still ran ahead of Dongfang Xiao cautiously and hurriedly.
, shouted loudly as a supplementary report: "Master, there is a guest asking to see you!"
Someone actually broke into the Han family's courtyard? What a outrage! Two useless guys can't even see through the door, why should they hang out? Mr. Han cursed in his heart, but he had no time to scold those two idiots.
, he had to force a smile, sit still, holding a Buddha statue, and talk to his two guests.
Dongfang Xiao broke into the hall and felt calm when he saw the man walking on the road just now. He smiled at Master Han and said politely: "I have heard about Master Han for a long time, but now that I see him, he is really extraordinary! The Han Mansion
Celebrating the four seasons, the crowds are really busy! I thought I came at the wrong time, but it turns out that there are already guests at the door? Nice to meet you, nice to meet you! "
The two people smiled awkwardly and said hello. Then, they still sat calmly and no longer paid much attention to Dongfang Xiao.
Lao Han held the Buddha in his arms, with a pious look on his face, and made another pun: "When the Buddha was invited, he also seduced the demons, which is really disrespectful! You two gentlemen, please don't blame me.
This matter is actually beyond Han’s ability, so please bear with me!"
Dongfang Xiao knew that Mr. Han was scolding him, but he smiled disapprovingly and said: "The devil chases you for half your life, and the Buddha comes with a stick of incense! You have to look carefully to know whether it is a devil or a Buddha. Don't miss a great opportunity and get angry
You offended the Buddha and offended the devil!"
Rich Man Han was so angry that he turned pale and knocked down the Buddha with a "pop" sound.
There was a "crash" noise, and the two men pulled away the chairs, stood up, took out the daggers from their waists, and approached Dongfang Xiao...
