"It doesn't matter. ”

Meng Zitao waved his hand and said, "You tell your friend that I came to him for a white lychee stone seal, this matter is very important, and please ask him to agree to see me." ”

"Okay. ”

Luo Xisheng got up, took his mobile phone and walked to the side to dial a friend's number, and after a while, he walked back and said, "Teacher Meng, my friend promised to come to see you, and he will come to me later." ”

Meng Zitao was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Luo Xisheng.

Next, it was a matter of patience, and everyone had nothing to do, so they chatted.

There is also a friend of Luo Xisheng in the store, named Shi Kewei, who is also an antique lover, and is more introverted, but as long as he speaks, he is on the point, and Meng Zitao thinks he is very knowledgeable, and his first impression is good.

Meng Zitao's first impression of Luo Xisheng and Shi Kewei was also very good, modest and cautious, without a little arrogance, plus Meng Zitao said everything, and he had something to say, which made both of them feel very emotional in their hearts, and there was no vanity under the fame.

"Teacher Meng, I don't know if you've ever seen a firewood kiln?" Shi Kewei was silent for a while, and suddenly asked this question.

Meng Zitao said: "Do you say that it is Zhou Shizong's firewood kiln?"

"Yes. Shi Kewei nodded.

Meng Zitao shook his head: "I haven't seen it, so far, no real firewood kiln has been found at home and abroad, and no one knows what it looks like." In any case, there are different opinions, and there is no reliable evidence. Teacher Shi, have you seen it?"

The porcelain pieces that Meng Zitao had seen in his master before could only be said to be very likely to come from a firewood kiln, but whether it was or not, there was no complete vessel, and he couldn't be sure.

"Of course not. Shi Kewei said: "However, a piece of porcelain I got some time ago, I think it may be from a firewood kiln." ”

Luo Xisheng took over and said: "I said you should die, so many people have seen that piece of porcelain, and everyone says that it is just a modern fake, why don't you believe it?"

"That's what I said, I want them to take evidence, will they take it out?" Shi Kewei was not convinced.

"You don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. Luo Xisheng shook his head.

"Whatever you say about me, as long as there is no hard evidence for a day, I will not believe that it is a forgery. ”

As Shi Kewei spoke, he took out a small exquisite box from his pocket, and after opening it, there was a piece of porcelain in it, he took out the porcelain piece and carefully placed it in front of Meng Zitao: "Teacher Meng, please help me take a look." ”

Meng Zitao saw that this porcelain piece was thin, the glaze was bright and fine, azure, and it was also covered with fine lines, which looked very similar to some suspected firewood kiln porcelain pieces he saw at the beginning, but when he took it in his hand and looked closely, he found that it was not a loess fetus, and in some subtleties, it was also different from the porcelain tiles he had seen before.

With the ability, it's been less than a year to make, so it's safe to assume that someone copied it.

Although the porcelain piece is imitated, Meng Zitao still admires the author very much, he can imitate it so realistically, if it weren't for his rich experience, otherwise it would be really difficult to say what the problem is.

Looking at Shi Kewei's expectant look, Meng Zitao tactfully told him about the situation, which made Shi Kewei very frustrated.

Luo Xisheng patted him on the shoulder and said a few words of comfort.

"This is an opportunity for me to learn, and I have learned a lot through this piece of porcelain," Shi Kewei said. And the porcelain piece is only one of the porcelain pieces I bought for fifty yuan, even if there is a problem, I will not lose. ”

"You bought this porcelain piece for fifty yuan?" Luo Xisheng looked stunned.

"Or else? You think I paid thousands of dollars for it. Shi Kewei said.

"I'm really convinced. Luo Xisheng was speechless: "I thought you spent a lot of money to buy it, but you didn't want fifty, so why are you still drilling the horns?"

Shi Kewei said angrily: "It's not me who drills the horns, if someone can tell the reason like Mr. Meng, will I still disapprove!"

The two of them argued for a few words, and Meng Zitao diverted the conversation and asked, "Shi Laotong, where did you buy this piece of porcelain?"

Shi Kewei said: "I bought it in a young man on the runway, and he usually has no business, so he sets up his own stall to do business. ”

The runway man is the middleman, the leader, that is, the broker.

Meng Zitao asked, "Do you know him?"

Shi Kewei said: "I don't know him, I only know that everyone calls him Axia, thin, and his appearance is quite thoughtful, but his eyes are slippery, not very pleasing." Are you looking for him?"

Meng Zitao said very sincerely: "I want to inquire about the origin of this porcelain piece. Although it is a fake, in terms of craftsmanship, it is also remarkable, and I am very interested in its author, and if I can, I hope to be able to exchange a thing or two. ”

The author's craftsmanship is indeed what Meng Zitao is interested in, and if possible, he hopes that the author can cooperate with Xiao Likai and be very helpful in the restoration of that formula.

Shi Kewei thought that Meng Zitao thought of looking for the author because he wanted to increase his knowledge, so he appreciated it very much, and hurriedly said that when Meng Zitao had time, he could take it to find Axia.

After chatting for a while, Luo Xisheng's friend arrived. The man looked like he was in his forties, but his hair was already pale, and he had a wound on his foot, and he was limping when he walked.

Tian Shiming didn't smile, his expression was a little serious, he didn't look like a person who was easy to deal with, when he saw Meng Zitao and the others, a smile appeared on his face, but the smile was stiff, it was better not to laugh.

Judging from his words and deeds, Tian Shiming is a person who has one thing to say, and this kind of person is easy to deal with, just follow his preferences.

Therefore, Meng Zitao was not verbose, and said, "Teacher Tian, can we take a step to speak?"

Tian Shiming didn't answer, and asked first: "Is there a word 'Xia' in the seal in your hand?"

After Meng Zitao confirmed, Tian Shiming agreed.

Tian Shiming's legs and feet were inconvenient, so Luo Xisheng used the excuse that he wanted to go outside with Shi Kewei, so he went out.

Meng Zitao took out the seal and put it in front of Tian Shiming.

Tian Shiming glanced at it, and then generously admitted: "This seal is indeed from the hand, but why did you find me?"

Meng Zitao said: "You made the seal for Qiu Deye, right?"

Tian Shiming immediately reacted: "Did he have an accident?"

"Yes, and it's more complicated. Meng Zitao briefly recounted the situation of the case and handed his documents to Tian Shiming to read.

Knowing what happened, Tian Shiming's expression finally changed slightly, he was silent for a moment, and said, "Teacher Meng, what if I don't say it?"

Meng Zitao said sincerely: "Teacher Tian, I also told the truth, such a major case can no longer be transferred by personal will, so I hope you can help us find out the truth of the matter, which is actually to avenge Qiu Deye." If you are his friend, I am sure you can make the right choice. ”

Tian Shiming was silent for a moment and said, "Can you guarantee that you won't hit his family?"

Meng Zitao smiled and said: "That's for sure, as long as the other party has no criminal facts, how can it be cracked down?"

Tian Shiming hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to a place, where you should be able to get the answer you want." ”

Meng Zitao was not worried that Tian Shiming would be able to threaten him, so he agreed.

The place Tian Shiming said was actually Qiu Deye's good family, and the other party gave birth to a son for Qiu Deye, and Qiu Deye also gave most of his belongings to the other party.

Qiu Deye knew that what he was doing now was very dangerous, and he would be worried about his life if he was not careful, so he attached great importance to his son, except for Tian Shiming, he basically didn't know that he had such a son.

In addition, Qiu Deye also told Tian Shiming that if someone goes to find him with a seal, it is estimated that he is already more than lucky, if the other party is not a villain, then tell the truth, otherwise unless it is absolutely necessary, don't say it.

So it was also Meng Zitao's luck, firstly, he was a celebrity, and secondly, he had a secret identity, and with the combination of the two, Tian Shiming recognized his identity.

The car sped all the way, and after more than an hour's drive, they came to a rural village. Because the road was not very convenient, the car stopped at the entrance of the village.

Everyone got out of the car and walked to the village, it was almost noon, there were more people in the village, the villagers saw Tian Shiming, they all greeted warmly, it seems that Tian Shiming should often come here, and then Meng Zitao knew that Tian Shiming's hometown is here, he actually grew up here.

After walking for a few minutes, Meng Zitao followed Tian Shiming to a private house.

The gate was open, and when Mencius and the others walked in, they saw a young man in the courtyard.

"Uncle, do you have any old things at home? It's the same thing as the jar last time......

The young man was very thin, and his eyes looked like a thief, which did not give a good impression.

Old Man Tian was stunned and said: "Didn't I tell you, that jar is actually used to hold ashes, you really took it and sold it, and people didn't scold you?"

"Uncle, don't you know, these days, many people like old things, as long as they look old enough, whether they are used to hold ashes or not, they are willing to spend money to buy them. ”

As he spoke, the young man's eyes rolled again: "By the way, uncle, I bought two thousand for that jar, according to the rules of the industry." I'll take a thousand and five, and now I'm sending you five hundred. ”

As soon as the words fell, the young man took out five red tickets from his pocket and made a gesture to give them to Old Man Tian. However, this action was a bit slow, just enough time for Old Man Tian to refuse.

Meng Zitao happened to walk into the courtyard, and when he heard the young man's voice, he muttered in his heart, why didn't he know that there were such rules in the antique industry?

"No, it's just a broken jar, I dug it out of the ground, and if you can sell it, it's your ability. If you don't have money, don't mention it. Old Man Tian shook his head and said, "But you also have to be careful, if people know that you are selling urns, and they are dug out of the ground, it is estimated that they will trouble you." ”

"Uncle, you don't have to worry about this, the rules of this industry are that money and goods are clear, since he has taken a fancy to it, there is no reason to come to me for trouble, not to mention that things are really old objects, he has no reason to trouble me. ”

The young man took the opportunity to put away the money and said with a smile: "If he insists on coming to me for trouble, this matter will spread, and it will be him who will be disgraced, and no one will do business with him in the future." ”

Speaking of this, the old man happened to see Tian Shiming and his entourage walking in, and greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Ming is here, come and sit." ”

Listening to the old man's address to Tian Shiming, Meng Zitao wanted to laugh in his heart.

Tian Shiming was also a little embarrassed and said, "Uncle, can you call our city Ming." ”

Old Man Tian smiled and said, "Xiao Ming has something bad to listen to, I am awkward in Shiming." ”

Seeing that Old Man Tian said this, Tian Shi knew that he couldn't change his mind, and he was quite helpless.

When the young man saw that so many people had come at once, he felt that it was not a good time to talk about business, so he was ready to come back later, but when he saw Mencius, he always felt that he had seen it somewhere, and he couldn't remember it after thinking about it.

At this time, Old Man Tian said to him: "Xiao Xia, I really don't have any antiquities here, if you want to find it, go to someone else's house to have a look." But I advise you not to always engage in these crooked ways, it is not a long-term solution, you are not small, you should also accept your temperament, your grandfather has been looking forward to holding his great-grandson for so many years, you should also make him feel at ease. ”

"Uncle, this is a collection, how can it be a crooked and evil way?" the young man shouted: "This is a very rich thing, as long as I pick up a leak, I will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life." ”

Tian Shiming glared at him: "Whose leak do you want to pick up?"

The young man knew that he had made a mistake, so he coughed lightly to ease his embarrassment, and said, "No matter how much I pick up the leaks, I can't pick them up at the uncle's side! If there is a good thing, I will definitely not forget to give it to the uncle if I sell it." You see that I made money, and I deliberately sent my uncle's share over, if it were someone else, who would do that?"

Meng Zitao spoke: "I've been in this business for several years, why have I never heard of it, and there is such a share?"

The young man frowned and said, "Listening to this friend's accent, he shouldn't be from Rongcheng, our rules here are like this, isn't it?"

"Why haven't I heard of such a rule?" Tian Shiming said with a sneer.

At this time, a young woman came out of the back room, and she sneered at the young man: "Okay, Axia, don't daydream, how many times have you been to my house, what is the situation, you still don't know?

Meng Zitao was stunned, no wonder this young man was a little familiar, it turned out to be the Axia that Shi Kewei said before.

The young man was unmoved: "What you said, how could I take advantage of the uncle? I am thinking about the wealth of our two families!"
