Meng Zitao said: "Brother Zheng, you see that the time is not early, why don't you sleep and rest first?"

Zheng Zongxian smiled bitterly: "Just like me, if I don't solve the matter, I won't be able to sleep at all! ”

When Meng Zitao saw Zheng Zongxian's appearance, there was nothing he could do. Although it doesn't matter if you don't sleep for a day, but judging from the current situation, it will be difficult to find it for a while, could it be that Zheng Zongxian doesn't sleep every day and stares at it? In that case, people will definitely collapse.

Therefore, if Zheng Zongxian is still in this state tomorrow, Meng Zitao decided to talk to the master and change someone to preside over the work.

But obviously, the above knew Zheng Zongxian very well, and sent him over today, mainly because of the suddenness of the incident and the temporary shortage of manpower, so when Meng Zitao and Zheng Zongxian were talking, a new person in charge arrived.

The new person in charge is named Lu Qingyi, a very burly middle-aged man, with a long scar on the right side of his face, which is particularly hideous, coupled with his figure, it gives people the feeling of a bandit.

However, this person's personality is actually diametrically opposed to his appearance, not only is he very kind of speech, but also very delicate.

After Lu Qingyi arrived, he had a few polite words with everyone, and then learned about the situation with Meng Zitao and Zheng Zong, and then began to assign tasks.

Lu Qingyi agreed with Meng Zitao's point of view, thinking that it was unlikely that things were hidden inside the villa, and there were no clues at all after the search so far, so he was ready to ask the staff to search around the villa.

In fact, Zheng Zongxian had already asked the staff to search around the villa, but he sent fewer people and had not found any clues for the time being.

Meng Zitao is actually not very optimistic about this, he feels that if there are no relevant clues, everyone is just looking for a needle in a haystack, and if there is no luck, the chance of finding something is very slim.

Of course, Meng Zitao also believed that the above also took this into account, but because Xunlingwei was too powerful, he couldn't find a chance for them to take advantage of. Therefore, even if the opportunity is slim, they have to put in a hundred efforts, and they will find it first.

Although there is nothing to do with Meng Zitao here for the time being, Meng Zitao does not want to leave immediately, so he also follows everyone to search.

Time flies quickly, the morning sun rises, and the night passes, and everyone still doesn't find it at all, although everyone is prepared for this, but they are still very disappointed in the face of the result.

Lu Qingyi walked up to Meng Zitao and said, "Brother Meng, it's been a busy night, go rest for a while and have some breakfast." ”

Meng Zitao nodded, and just as he turned around, a dazzling light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Huh?" Meng Zitao was a little puzzled, as if he had just looked at the bright light.

"What's wrong?" Lu Qingyi hurriedly asked.

Meng Zitao pointed ahead and said, "There seems to be something there." ”

Lu Qingyi looked at the place where Meng Zitao pointed and found that it was a pavilion, and the place where Meng Zitao pointed was the top of the pavilion.

Lu Qingyi looked at it fixedly, and said with some doubts: "There is nothing!"

"No?" Meng Zitao frowned, and immediately thought of a reason: "Brother Lu, you come to where I am standing now." ”

Lu Qingyi walked over curiously, and then looked in the direction that Meng Zitao pointed out just now, and his expression was stunned: "Strange, how can you see the light here, but not elsewhere?"

Although he felt strange, Lu Qingyi also understood that there must be something wrong with that place, so he hurriedly called the staff and went over to check it out.

Seeing this, Zheng Zongxian, whose eyes were already red, also hurriedly ran over.

The staff went up to check and found that it was a very inconspicuous, mirror-like object on it, which had the effect of refracting sunlight, and because of the installation position, only the location where Meng Zitao was just now could be seen.

Moreover, it was also discovered that only when the sun is in its current position, the mirror will reflect the sunlight, and after ten minutes, it will not be visible. That is, Meng Zitao was lucky enough to discover this phenomenon, otherwise, the probability of discovering this is very slim.

This discovery immediately made everyone excited, and Zheng Zongxian said excitedly: "You say, could it be that the location of the sunlight reflection is the place where it is buried?"

Everyone said that it was very likely.

So, everyone hurriedly searched and found that the location of the reflection was a place near the corner of the villa.

Lu Qingyi gave an order, and the staff began to dig, but when they dug more than a meter deep, they found nothing at all, which was like a basin of cold water poured on everyone's heads in winter, and Zheng Zongxian was even more deflated.

At this time, Meng Zitao spoke: "I don't think the thing will be buried in the wall, just now I looked at the reflected light point, but it is on the wall." ”

Zheng Zongxian said with some hesitation: "No, I checked it just now, and the wall seems to be solid!"

Meng Zitao said: "Isn't it okay for that person to make the illusion of a solid wall?"

Lu Qingyi said: "That's right, if you deduce it by common sense, the thing has already been found by the people who are looking for the spirit guard." Xiao Wang, you go and get some tools. ”

After a while, the staff brought hammers and other tools, first disposed of the contents on the wall, and then began to use hammers, chisels and other tools to start cleaning the bricks.

"There it is!"

When a brick was cleared out, revealing an object that resembled a brick inkstone, everyone couldn't help but cheer.

Lu Qingyi took out the brick inkstone and found that this thing was actually hollow, with some paper things in it, and it looked like it should not be too old.

So, Lu Qingyi hurriedly summoned Meng Zitao and Zheng Zongxin into the house, took out the things, and found that this was actually a document, which was recorded in the list of personnel who had infiltrated the departments and institutions by Xunlingwei.

Zheng Zongxian's eyes widened: "Is there a mistake in this list, why is Lao Zhang also in it." ”

Lu Qingyi said solemnly: "Maybe this is a smoke bomb given to us by the other party." ”

Having said that, Lu Qingyi still felt that the authenticity of this list was very high, which made him quite painful, because he also saw the name of one of his friends on it.

Meng Zitao said: "It's better to hand over the list to the top as soon as possible, I believe that you will not wronged good people." ”

"Hey!"

Zheng Zongxian sighed heavily, and then, with a rather heavy heart, everyone set off with the list.

Fortunately, there was nothing to do all the way, everyone arrived at the destination safely, and after telling some of the experiences, Meng Zitao and the army left together to go back to the hotel, and the next thing, he had the heart and power.

…………

On Saturday, Meng Zitao and Dajun went to Jinling to participate in the black market auction that Tubao said last time, as for Yingdu, after he participated in the auction, he had to go again, not to mention that Dajun's father had always wanted to invite him to sit at home, and he had to solve the matter of Qin Forest.

On the way, Meng Zitao learned from his master that the list was true, because Xun Lingwei felt that it was wrong, some important people had already gone abroad in advance, and the rest were just some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and these people all chose to commit suicide.

When Meng Zitao heard the news, his heart shuddered, there were quite a few people on that list, there were hundreds of people, even if half of them fled, the remaining people also had fifty people, all of these people chose to commit suicide, Meng Zitao didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings when he learned the news.

After that, Meng Zitao also made up his mind to eradicate this organization.

In addition to this news, Zheng Anzhi also told Meng Zitao that because of his meritorious service in Yingdu, Meng Zitao had already passed the inspection, and he only had to wait to return to Lingshi and complete some necessary procedures.

I stayed at Shuze for one night, and at about nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Tubao came over in a very ordinary car.

Seeing that Meng Zitao and the others had a total of four people going, Tubao said apologetically: "Shu Shao, I'm really sorry, I can only bring three people with me at most." ”

"You kid didn't say it earlier, on purpose!" Shu Ze said lightly.

Tubao hurriedly said: "Shu Shao, you misunderstood, there was no such request originally, when I set off this morning, I was told by the other side, saying that the wind has been tight recently, and several have been arrested, and they are not allowed to control the number of people in order to control the risk." In addition, customers with a certain strength can participate. ”

Shu Ze sneered: "How to prove your strength?"

Tu Leopard smiled: "It's easy for you, just bring 300,000 cash over." ”

Shu Ze snorted coldly: "Hmph! This money is indeed easy, but you didn't mention cash before, right, and now you have to bring cash over temporarily, what does this mean?"

The point is, what they are going to is a black market auction, and it is said that many of them are new pits, that kind of place, there are a lot of ruthless people, and if they go with this cash, isn't that putting the meat in the wolf's mouth?

Tubao smiled bitterly: "I also know that this is a little wrong, so I argue with them, but these people just don't agree." So, I advise you not to go if you feel dangerous. ”

Shu Ze said with a smile: "If I want to force my way into this 'Longtan Tiger's Den', what do you think?"

The earth leopard begged again and again: "Shu Shao, don't do this, I am old and young, and the whole family is counting on me!"

When Shu Ze saw the appearance of the earth leopard, he felt bored in his heart, and said, "Okay, tell me, who organized it this time?"

"It's Brother Carp. The leopard could only tell the truth.

Carp's real name is Li Yu, Shu Ze also knows him, nodded and said: "It's Li Yu, this kid, okay, you can take us there, but this time the cost of the carp side, you definitely won't be able to pay it." ”

Tu Leopard was stunned, and immediately he understood that Shu Ze must have something to do with Li Yu, but Li Yu had no choice but to be angry with Shu Ze.

This made Tu Leopard smile bitterly in his heart, he had known this, he wouldn't mention this matter to Shu Ze, now it's good, not to mention wasting oil money, and offending Li Yu, it's not worth it.

"Hey, what a loss for my wife and my soldiers!"

The earth leopard sighed, there is no way, please get in the car and set off for the location of the auction, as for the number of people, all of them were ignored by Shu Ze.

After an hour's drive, the car came to a somewhat desolate factory building, and when it reached the doorman, the car was stopped.

A man who looked like a security guard said fiercely: "Tu Leopard, didn't I inform you in the morning? Why did you bring four people here?"

"Old-fashioned, don't you know me?" Shu Ze rolled down the window, took the sunglasses on his face, and said to the security guard.

The security guard was stunned for a moment, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he muttered "hell" in his heart, and quickly changed his smiling face: "Shu Shao, what kind of wind blew you here?"

"South-east-northwest wind. Shu Ze smiled and asked, "Can we go in?"

"Of course, of course!" the security guard hurriedly opened the gate to let the car in, and then told everyone about today's precautions.

Seeing the car drive into a factory, the security guard turned around, immediately changed his gloomy expression, and used the walkie-talkie to report the news of Shu Ze's arrival.

Shu Ze and the others got out of the car, and the earth leopard covered his license plate with a cloth, and then everyone led by him to a room and closed the door.

Meng Zitao found that there were various masks on the table in the room, just like the last time he participated in a private auction, and this time there was a uniform suit, after changing the costume and wearing the mask, it was difficult to recognize it if he was not a familiar person.

After changing their costumes, everyone followed the leopard to a separate room, during which there were no security guards to check, but a large number of cameras around it could still ensure the control of the organizers.

When Meng Zitao walked into the room, he felt a series of scrutinizing eyes looking at him, but due to the dress, his eyes only stayed for a few seconds, and they were all taken back by the owner.

At this time, Meng Zitao began to look at the surrounding environment, the conditions here are quite simple, except for a rostrum nearly three meters long in the front, the rest are all shabby wooden benches, and the lights in the room are very dim, giving people a bad impression.

Considering today's purpose, even if the environment is a little poor, everyone will not be too particular, of course, there are still some bosses who have been pampered, and they are somewhat dissatisfied with this, and they still muttered from time to time.

Everyone found a place where they could see and sat down, waiting quietly.

For a while, the room was very quiet, and Meng Zitao could even hear the breathing of some people, even if someone coughed lightly, it was very obvious, if he stayed here for a long time, it would definitely be very depressing.

Next, everyone didn't wait long, and after more than a dozen guests came to the room, a middle-aged man with a mustache stood on the rostrum, who was the auctioneer of this auction.

The auctioneer looked around for a moment, smiled and said: "I believe you already have an understanding of the rules of this auction, so I won't talk nonsense, let's invite the first auction item, the Shang Dynasty bronze Kui dragon pattern double beast ear ......"

It was an important ritual vessel in the late Shang Dynasty and even the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the "Rite" said: "One person washes, and raises it." "The Book of Rites and Rituals" has a record of "the venerable raises his eyes, and the humble raises his horns". The morphological changes of the mou are not diverse, or owl-shaped, or flat and short and stocky, or long and slim, the late Shang Dynasty to the early Western Zhou Dynasty are mostly flat and short and stocky, and in the later period, they are gradually slim, and in the spring and autumn period, they are long and long.

Meng Zitao didn't expect that the first thing in the auction was the Shang Dynasty bronzes, and as soon as he looked at the red spots and green rust on it, he knew that it was a new pit vessel, and it seemed that it was really like what Tubao said, this was simply a "feast" of new pit ware.

However, Meng Zitao also couldn't understand that the other party was so blatant, was he really not worried about something at all?

I heard Shu Ze chuckle: "It seems that Li Yu's courage is getting bigger and bigger, and I don't know where to eat the bear's heart leopard gall." ”

Meng Zitao asked softly, "Aze, is there anything wrong with taking pictures of things here?"

Meng Zitao is not cowardly, but he is so blatant, he is really worried that he will cause trouble, he is the most afraid of trouble, and he can avoid it.

Shu Ze said: "You can shoot, even if there is something for me to solve." ”

Meng Zitao nodded, although he is principled, he is not pedantic, in case he likes it, he will also start.

People who were interested in this bronze at the scene came forward to confirm the authenticity of the thing, until no one came to the stage, and the auctioneer said: "The starting price is 100,000, and the price increase is not less than 10,000 yuan each time, and everyone starts to ......."

"Okay, this gentleman is bidding half a million...... Once!"

"Two hundred thousand times!"

"Is there anyone who has offered a higher price? The bronze of the Shang Dynasty is rare in the world, especially this one with a majestic and solemn overall shape, exquisite workmanship, and quite well preserved, with high collection value and research value......

"Five hundred thousand three times...... Syllable...... Deal!"

Seeing the sale of this lot, Meng Zitao couldn't help but sigh, the things in this black market auction are really cheap, the market price of such artifacts is at least more than two million, even if there are other black market auctions, this kind of artifacts should not be less than one million, and here it is actually sold for 500,000 yuan, which is somewhat unexpected by Meng Zitao.

Of course, things are cheap, the risks are high, and the probability of being investigated is higher than that of ordinary black market auctions.

The auctioneer was satisfied with the price of the first lot, and then asked the staff to bring out a few bronzes and jades, all of which were masterpieces.

As these lots were auctioned one by one, the atmosphere of the scene became warm, and the smiles on the auctioneer's face were a little more, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.

However, unlike the people around who were shouting with interest, there were still a small number of people at the scene who watched quietly from beginning to end, as if waiting for something.

This made Meng Zitao feel a little strange, could it be that these people all came for a certain lot in the auction?

As the auction progressed, the lots on the scene became more and more precious, and the transaction prices became higher and higher, one million, two million three million, five million, when a piece of Yuan blue and white was auctioned for twenty-three million, the atmosphere on the scene was a little boiling, and the buyer was also quite excited, almost uncovering the mask on his face.

In fact, don't look at the Internet, newspapers and other media, there are often a certain rich man, spending a lot of money for a lot, and the price of a certain lot is more than 100 million, but in fact, the precious cultural relics in the whole world are quite rare, not to mention a handful.

In general, in real auctions, there can be multiple transaction prices of tens of millions of dollars, which is considered to be a certain scale. If there is a transaction price of hundreds of millions, it is already quite a sensational auction, and it is difficult for ordinary auction companies to achieve.

Just like Meng Zitao, the auction held by his company has been an instant hit in the international auction world, and when preparing for the summer auction, some people even sent their collections to participate in the auction. It can be said that as long as the summer auction can be successfully held, the auction company will be able to gain a firm foothold in the domestic auction market.

At 12 noon, the first half of the auction was coming to an end, and the last lot was also taken out by the staff.

The auctioneer introduced: "Okay, the next lot is the famous sword 'Wan Yan'......"

As he said this, the auctioneer drew the sword.

Looking at the sword flickering in the light, the scene was suddenly silent, and Meng Zitao couldn't help but be stunned, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong.

At this time, a guest sitting in the front row said with some indignation: "I said, you don't have to fool people like this, you are also known as the sword 'Wan Yan', why don't you say it is the Xuanyuan sword!"

As soon as this person's voice fell, there was a burst of laughter and boos at the scene, of course, this boo was for the organizers.

It's no wonder that everyone's reaction is so fierce, the so-called Wan Qian Sword is a sword that can cut Jiao.

Guo Yuzhang's "Sword Record": "The Western Jin Dynasty Liao has Jingyang Ling Xu Xun, who has the Tao in Yuzhang Mountain, there is Jiao in the river, Jingyang has no water to throw the sword and cut it, and then I don't know where it is, Xiang Fisherman's net gets a stone box, the sound of the sound is dozens of miles, the Tang Dynasty Taoist King is Hongzhou no stabbing history, and the sword is broken. ”

Now that someone has come up with such a legendary sword for auction, it is no wonder that everyone will have such a reaction.

The auctioneer also expected everyone's reaction, he waited for the scene to be quieter, and said with a smile: "I know you have doubts about this sword, but no matter what, this is indeed an ancient sword, and it is indeed a new pit weapon. ”

"If you have something you like, you can buy it, and if you think it's a problem, then forget it, we don't make any guarantees about the authenticity of this sword. ”

At this time, someone said, "In that case, you still say that it is a new pit?

"It's a new pit after being buried for a day. This sentence caused a chuckle next to him.

The auctioneer ignored the ridicule of these people and asked everyone to come to the stage to appraise ...... (To be continued.) )
