Chapter Twenty-Nine: Confrontation
After being silent for a moment, Xu Jianfang took the lead in speaking, and said to the middle-aged man who was sitting at the door, looking a little thief-eyed and skinny: "Cousin, it's really not easy to find you!"
Maybe it was because he drank too much wine, Ma Le'an's mind was a little confused, he was stunned at first, and after a while, he reacted, he smiled and said: "It's Jianshu and Jianfang, why did you come over?"
Xu Jianfang said with a smile: "Cousin, let's open the skylight and say something, when will you repay the money you borrowed before?"
Ma Le'an said with an innocent face: "When did I borrow your money?"
Xu Jianfang sneered: "Half a year ago, didn't you bring your friend to ask my mother to borrow money?"
"Oh, yes, I remember. Ma Le'an showed a sudden look on his face, he picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip of tea, and said, "Then you should go to him to pay back the money, what's the use of looking for me?"
Xu Jianshu smiled: "Hehe, if we can find him, do you think we will come to you? Don't forget, you are the guarantor!"
"Oh, then I'll call and ask!" Ma Le'an took out his mobile phone and pulled it out, and after a while, he put down his mobile phone and muttered: "This guy doesn't answer the phone, so let's do it, I'll go to him tomorrow, do you think it's okay?"
Xu Jianfang grinned: "Okay, then we will follow you until we find him." ”
Ma Le'an squinted his eyes when he heard the words and said, "It seems that you are going to eat me?"
Xu Jianfang said with a smile: "My good cousin, isn't it a matter of course to repay debts?"
Ma Le paused and said, "Didn't you press a piece of jade at the beginning, since you can't find him, you just go and sell the jade." ”
"Who do you want us to sell a piece of fake jade?" Xu Jianshu sneered.
Ma Le'an perked up: "Hey, this is not right, the jade was approved by my cousin at the beginning, why is it said to be fake now." Besides, who knows if you got a fake jade from somewhere and replaced the real jade!"
Xu Jianfang said: "If that piece of jade can be exchanged for 50,000 yuan, whoever is full of food will come to you." Besides, don't think I don't know, you and the dog-headed guy are the same thing. ”
Ma Le'an spread his hands and said: "Now in this year, who knows who, anyway, I don't admit that the original piece of jade was fake." Let's just say that you go to the bank to withdraw money, and when you go back, you say that there is one missing, and you go and ask the bank if it will make it up for you?"
Ma Le'an's famous sentence made the Xu family brothers silent, this matter is also the same reason, it has been so long, and no one else is fair, Ma Le'an doesn't admit it, they can't think about it at all.
"Could it be that this matter is finally over?" the Xu family brothers thought unwillingly.
At this time, Meng Zitao suddenly said: "Isn't it possible to extract fingerprints now?"
This sentence stunned everyone, Xu Jianfang gave Meng Zitao an appreciative look, and said with a smile: "Cousin, you don't want to get to this point, right?"
Ma Le'an glared at Meng Zitao fiercely, although he had only touched that piece of jade two or three times, and half a year had passed, his fingerprints were probably gone, but what if there were? Besides, if the Xu family called the police, it would definitely cause him trouble. That's not what he wants to see right now.
After thinking about it, Ma Le'an used the word trick again: "You go and check it, if it is really the original piece of jade, come and notify me again." ”
Xu Jianfang said with a smile: "Okay, but during this time, I can only follow you, I hope my cousin will forgive me!"
Ma Le'an's expression changed, he lowered his face, and said: "I warn you, don't be embarrassed, and don't forget, I'm alone!"
Xu Jianfang snorted: "You say that, I just don't know what that Xiaoli thinks!"
Xu Jianfang's words made Ma Le'an look like a fried cat, staring at Xu Jianfang's eyes with a cold light: "Xu Jianfang, do you think I, Ma Le'an, am too easy to talk?"
Xu Jianfang was calm and calm, and said: "Cousin, relax, I don't mean anything else, but I heard him talk about it when I was drinking with Brother Qiang a few days ago, and now that I think about it, I mentioned it casually, do you really know Xiaoli?"
Ma Le'an heard this, his face was cloudy, and after a while, his face suddenly changed, and he said with a smile: "Jianfang, tell me, what do you think! But there is one thing I explained in advance, let's not mention money, it's too vulgar!"
Seeing this situation, Meng Zitao also admired Ma Le'an's quick change of face, but also, if he didn't have any ability, Ma Le'an wouldn't have been in peace until now.
Xu Jianfang said: "Cousin, what you said makes me a little embarrassed. So, let me ask the question, where did that piece of jade come from?"
"How do I know this?" Ma Le'an spread his hands, and at this time, he looked at a middle-aged man sitting diagonally opposite him, and then said: "However, where I live now, there are some similar things, but whether they are true or false, then I can't guarantee it." ”
Xu Jianfang said: "When are we going to see it?"
Ma Le'an smiled and said: "Isn't it said that the old saying goes, people are iron, rice is steel, don't eat a meal and be hungry, let's go after eating, how about it?"
Anyway, Ma Le'an couldn't run here, so Xu Jianfang nodded and agreed.
Depending on the relationship between the two parties, it is also conceivable how this meal was eaten. And what made Xu Jianfang depressed was that this meal was still a guest he invited.
When the group walked out of the hotel, Ma Le'an said: "The place where I live is not far away, let's go for a walk, just to eliminate food." ”
Xu Jianfang had no problem with this, and then, under the leadership of Ma Le'an, they walked for more than ten minutes to the place where he lives now, an ordinary house.
After opening the door, Ma Le'an invited everyone to enter, and then closed the door.
"You wait here for a while, and I'll go get the stuff. ”
Speaking of this, Ma Le'an looked at Xu Jianfang staring at him, and shook his head: "I said Jianfang, you are too careful, you are here, can I still run?"
Xu Jianfang just smiled and didn't speak, Ma Le'an said helplessly: "Okay, okay, Lao Xu, Xiao Nian, please go pick a few things." ”
Ma Le'an's two companions nodded, and walked into the back room, while Ma Le'an invited everyone to take a seat, and everyone waited patiently.
After a few moments, the two men walked in with a few things wrapped in newspaper in their hands, and then placed them on the table.
"Look!" Ma Le'an casually opened the newspaper and pointed to the contents inside.
Meng Zitao looked at it and saw that the newspaper was covered with several pieces of painted pottery and bronze ware.
"Shengkeng?" Seeing the performance of these things, Meng Zitao frowned slightly, raised his head and asked.
Ma Le'an smiled slightly: "It seems that the little brother is also a person in the industry, what do you think of these things?"
"Let's discuss. ”
"Yes. ”
Meng Zitao gestured to his cousins, and then the three of them walked to the side to discuss.
"Xiao Tao, aren't those things wrong?" Xu Jianshu asked in a low voice.
Meng Zitao replied: "I don't know if it's true or false for the time being, but judging from the performance of those things, they should all be artifacts of the pit." ”
"What do you mean?" asked Xu Jianfang.
Meng Zitao explained: "In our industry, 'shengkeng' refers to cultural relics that have just been unearthed, while 'ripe pit' refers to things that have passed down a period of time after being unearthed, and some have been played by others and handed down from generation to generation. ”
Listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, both of them understood what it meant, and Xu Jianfang gestured: "You mean, these things came out like this not long ago?"
"Yes. Meng Zitao added: "If it's genuine." ”
"If it's all true, are those things worth 50,000?" Xu Jianshu asked.
"Why, it's all worth it. Mencius compared the number of fifty.
Xu Jianfang thought for a while and said: "Xiaotao, I seem to have heard before, although the country has strict regulations on this aspect, but there are many people who buy it, right?"
Meng Zitao said honestly: "The market is free to buy and sell, and everyone knows the origin of the collection, and if you don't ask me or say it, it's generally peaceful." It's just that if he is found on the head, he will definitely be confiscated under normal circumstances, he?"
As he spoke, he secretly pointed at Ma Le'an.
The Xu brothers also understood what Meng Zitao meant, but they just felt that Ma Le'an was unreliable. To be honest, they don't believe in Ma Le'an very much, if they are unlucky enough to be caught, the 50,000 yuan will be lost.
In addition, they had never heard of it before, Ma Le'an had done this thing, and they really didn't know the bottom of their hearts. After thinking about it, they thought it would be better not to wade into this troubled water.
After making a decision, the three of them walked back again, and Xu Jianfang spoke: "Cousin, do you have anything familiar here?" To tell you the truth, we are all people who live a stable life, and we really don't want to change such a day. ”
Ma Le'an smiled and said, "This little brother is not a person in the industry, you just give him things." ”
Meng Zitao said slowly: "Hehe, I just like this business, but I don't do this kind of business, besides, I don't have that much capital to take them down." ”
As he spoke, he muttered in his heart, "It's true that I haven't started this business yet, but I didn't lie to you." ”
Ma Le'an looked at the three of them and said, "So, you just don't want to accept it?"
"No way, we're all less guts. As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Xu Jianfang's eyes: "But it seems that cousin, you are a thoughtful person who pulled us into the water?"
Ma Le felt a chill in his heart, and then he snorted: "Okay, if you want cooked goods, I will give them to you, but we have to say it in front, the price of cooked goods is a few percent more expensive." ”
