Chapter 353: The Lai Family's Choice
After Lai Chuanshu returned home, he immediately called the old lady of the Lai family and told him everything about Shencheng, and the old lady was silent after listening to it.
Over the past few decades, the Lai family has suffered two losses, both times related to Kou Jing, and the death of Lai Mao in the first two years was also related to that Li Xuanji, the original plan of the Lai family was to wait until Kou Jing left, and then take revenge on that Li Xuanji, otherwise the Lai family's status in the rivers and lakes would not be guaranteed.
But now it seems that the Lai family has no chance at all, that Li Xuanji looks like he is in his early twenties, and now his cultivation is so high, his wings have been completed, and the Lai family can't move easily.
"Old lady, what should I do if Li Xuanji wants to do something?"
Lai Chuanshu replied again that the Lai family was able to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes and the official mouth, not because of how powerful the Lai family is, but the most important thing is that the Lai family can be a person, and they have friends all over the world and rely on friends to help.
This is the foundation of the Lai family, just like the ancient dart game, do you really think that those dart guards are all the way through, that is a matter of looking for death, the ancient dart game is bought all the way, make friends with bandits from all walks of life, give money to buy the road, and be safe.
The same is true for the Lai family, otherwise even if the Lai family can fight again, they can't fight the open guns and hidden arrows of heroes from all walks of life, the Lai family cooperates with six places to sit in the deep city, and the most ruthless thing they do is to crack down on those foreign forces, as for the crooked ways in the territory, they are to watch the food and eat, the weak are destroyed, and the strong ones will turn a blind eye, to put it bluntly, it is to bully the soft and fear the hard.
But no one blames them, the society is not black and white, everyone does this, unless this wicked person really committed something angry and resentful, and the six places have an iron heart to deal with, otherwise they will never do it easily.
But now that Li Xuanji insists on moving a thousand faces, he will let the Lai family enter a difficult choice, whether to help Li Xuanji or ignore this matter, it will offend both parties.
"Li Xuanji's cultivation should be Jindan Avenue, which can lead the spiritual machine, at least at the level of refining the qi and transforming the gods, with his age, it is a safe thing to refine the gods and return to the void in the future."
The old lady didn't answer directly, but talked about Li Xuanji's practice, there are many cultivation sects in the rivers and lakes, the Jindan faction is just one of them, and there are also various factions such as Fu Zheng, but no matter which faction, it is the same when it comes to high profundity, this is called the Great Dao bypass, Li Xuanji can have such a cultivation at a young age, and refining the gods and returning to the void will definitely not stop him, and refining the gods and returning to the void can become a top master in the hands of the rivers and lakes.
"I understand, old lady, I'm going to send people to find out the whereabouts of the Thousand Faces Dao people."
Lai Chuanshu nodded, he knew what it meant, Li Xuanji has unlimited potential, and he will inevitably be the top master in the rivers and lakes in the future, offending Li Xuanji is too cost-effective, but it is the thousand-faced Taoist, the scum of the rivers and lakes, he didn't take him before, but he didn't maximize the benefits, it's not that he was afraid of them, and now he is just selling for a good price.
Lai Chuanshu hung up the phone, and sent a message to a few fellow Jianghu people, asking them to inquire about the news, the Lai family has been in Shencheng for decades, and they have long been like the natives, friends all over the world, and the Lai family can find the news that others can't find.
·······
In an ordinary community in Shencheng, a man is wiping a vase in his storeroom, and this person is a man of Thousand Faces.
The people of Thousand-Faced Dao started with tomb robbing, and what they did at the beginning was also tomb robbery and murder, and they had fought many tomb robbery gangs, and their reputation in the tomb robbery world was well-known.
However, the good times did not last long, and after walking more by the river, he always had to wet his shoes, and after the tomb robbery was revealed, the thousand-faced Taoist suddenly became a rat crossing the street, everyone shouted and beat, and the voice of him wanted was everywhere.
However, the thousand-faced Taoist was also decisive, and immediately withdrew from the tomb robbery, relying on his disguise kung fu, and the advantage of never showing up before, he recreated an identity, which can be regarded as a happy escape.
The Thousand Faces Daoist wandered for a few years, because he was generous, and his previous savings were rapidly decreasing, which made the Thousand Faces Dao people have to think about their future livelihoods, and after thinking about it, the Thousand Faces Dao people came to the deep city to ask for a living.
The Thousand Faces Taoist did not want to escape from the country, go abroad, and go to Xiangjiang no matter how bad it is, but after he went, he found that he could not integrate into the life there at all, and the cultural level of the Thousand Faces Taoist was too low, and he had the ability to identify antiques in addition to robbing tombs, and the rest would not be at all, so he returned to China.
The people of Qianmian Dao bought a lot of money to buy family property in Shencheng, and their savings were basically empty, so they had to continue to live in the mountains as a folk antique collector.
It's just that what the people of Thousand Faces did not expect is that over the years, people's lives have become more and more wealthy, and there are more and more rich people in Shencheng.
So far, the Thousand Faces Daoist has been very satisfied with his current life, he has a family and a business in the deep city, marries a wife and has children, and his life is rich and stable, and he will never think about robbing tombs again.
"Brother Hu, where are you?"
After a while, the thousand-faced Taoist who was wiping the vase answered a phone call, and a friend in the business field called.
"I'm at home, what's the matter?"
"Brother Hu, have you heard, the Lai family is going to ship a batch of goods recently"
"Lai's family, which Lai's family"
"Which one else, that rich feng shui family to death"
"Yangcheng Lai's family, what are they doing with antiques, they are not very rich?"
As soon as he said it, he reacted, the Lai family in Yangcheng, the descendants of Lai Buyi, it is indeed very rich, and the people have been rich for hundreds of years, but he can't figure out why such a person wants to sell antiques.
Generally speaking, they collect antiques from ordinary people, after all, cash is important, and even when they go to the countryside to collect, there will be an antique that will change their lives.
"Brother Hu, rich is rich, the Lai family's industry is mostly an entity, how difficult it is to do an entity now, who doesn't want cash, besides, the antiques in our eyes may not be in the eyes of others, the bold family is powerful, maybe their ancestors' toilets are now antiques, and people are more popular than people."
"That's right, then go and see when the time comes?"
The thousand-faced Taoist said with a smile, Lai Buyi is also from the Song Dynasty, and after seven or eight years, the things that the ancestors of the Lai family may use in their daily life are antiques, which they can't compare.
And the Lai family has always been wealthy, and there are a lot of things left by the ancestors, and there are many treasures, which everyone knows, and it is not the first time that the Lai family has shipped in recent years.
Although it is gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, but the Lai family may not care about these antiques, they are a big family more concerned about cash, and need cash to revitalize the business.
"That's okay, I'll help you get an invitation, it will be held in Lai's villa in three days, and Lai's book will come forward."
"Okay, Lai Chuanshu is still an acquaintance, see you then"
Qianmian Taoist people didn't think so much, if the Lai family can produce a batch of goods, he also has to share some profits, now there are too many fakes in the antique industry, nine out of ten fakes, the Lai family has a reputation, fakes should not be, it is a good opportunity to make a fortune.
········
"Xuanji, the Lai family really helped, they sent a message that a private antique auction would be held in three days"
"What's the hurry, it's not certain whether the people of the Thousand Faces Dao will be fooled"
"It's almost inseparable, if the Lai family is not sure, they shouldn't do it, it's really the wicked who have their own wicked people, it's not that we didn't ask him before, they don't bird our six people"
"You mean I'm a wicked person?"
"Haha, just kidding, don't get excited"
"Alright, let's go back and rest, and join the auction in three days"
I waved my hand and asked Chen Shan to go back to rest, the Lai family's choice was originally expected by me, in fact, even if the Lai family didn't agree, I would have other ways to find a thousand faces Dao people, but it was just a little troublesome.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Shan and I went to participate in the antique auction organized by Lai Chuanshu, which was a private auction, and the participants were all some folk antique dealers near Shencheng.
Lai Chuanshu personally presided over it, and bluntly said the reason for this auction, that is, to make cash, the Lai family is a big business, but now there are few people who are doing business, but there are few people who have a strong cash flow, and the Lai family is not short of antiques, but the cash flow is very short, so take out a batch of things to auction.
Naturally, there will be no treasures in the auction, they are all ordinary antique objects, most of which are used by the ancestors of the Lai family for daily use, and are hidden in the secret vaults of some warehouses of the Lai family.
These things are worth different amounts, the cheapest are a few hundred yuan, the expensive ones are tens of thousands of yuan, and the most expensive ones will not appear here, but there are many of them, which are suitable for these folk antique dealers who are not very strong.
After Lai Chuanshu finished speaking, he took the antiques up for auction, all kinds of silver dollars, vases, porcelain, bowls and chopsticks, and jade handles, all of which appeared one by one, causing some antique dealers to compete.
"Mystery, I don't see it"
"Saw something"
"Man, did you find it?"
"Don't worry, the Lai family is more powerful in this line of looking, if I guess correctly, the Lai family shouldn't know who the person is, and today is to lead him out of the hole to see him"
I shook my head, there were a lot of people coming, twenty or thirty people, who knows which one, it is estimated that the Lai family does not understand, but it doesn't matter, the Lai family is not vegetarian, this auction is originally to lead the snake out of the hole.
The auction lasted more than an hour before it ended, and when it was over, Lai Chuanshu sent someone to hand me a piece of paper, and when I opened it, there was a person's name and a photograph inside.
