Meng Zitao asked, "Teacher Wei, let me ask a somewhat presumptuous question, is it convenient to tell me the origin of the bronze lid on the long table in the living room?

As soon as Wei Cunshi heard Meng Zitao's question, his face changed, and seeing this situation, Meng Zitao hurriedly said: "If it's inconvenient to say, it's okay. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wei Cunshi waved his hand: "There's nothing inconvenient to say, when I was in my hometown before, I was a little famous, and people often came to me with materials to carve." Last year, a man also came to me to carve, but he didn't bring the material and asked me to produce the material, which is actually no problem, as long as the price is right. ”

"At that time, the other party picked a piece of ice seed material from me, and there were no requirements for the subject matter, just let me play freely, and then paid a deposit, made an appointment for delivery and left. I happened to be very interested in owls at the time, so I carved an owl theme. ”

Mencius understood when he heard this, the owl as a carving theme is rare, in the understanding of the ancients, the owl is a sacred bird in the night, with the implication of driving away evil, carved on the jade as a guardian bird. But in the eyes of modern people, owls appear in the night, silent, strange, and unlucky.

Sure enough, Wei Cunshi said that the other party scolded him fiercely because he carved an owl, which is not counted, he asked Wei Cunshi to carve a jade for him for free, and the material had to be made by Wei Cunshi.

Of course, Wei Cunshi would not agree, but that person was very powerful, and after he put down his cruel words, he often harassed him, preventing him from carving with peace of mind, let alone doing business.

Wei Cunshi originally planned to hide somewhere else, but he was watched 24 hours a day, and he couldn't leave, so in the end he had no choice but to agree. I really don't agree, because he is worried that the other party will send someone to find his relatives and friends.

This time, he carved a theme of double happiness, which satisfied the other party.

Wei Cunshi then said angrily: "That lid was given to me the next day after he took the jadeite, and said that my head was like that lid, smelly and hard. At that time, I was really mad, but I couldn't do anything about him, so I simply left Wenling and came to Yucheng. However, not long after I came to Yucheng, I heard that the guy was unlucky, deceived others by millions and was discovered, was found by someone, and his family business was cut off. ”

"What's this person's name?" Meng Zitao wanted to know the specific origin of the cover and wanted to ask a little more clearly.

Wei Cunshi shook his head: "I only know that others call him Brother Tie, but I really don't know what his name is." ”

Meng Zitao had a flash of inspiration in his mind: "Is this person's nickname called Iron Skin?"

"Seems like this, you know him. Wei Cunshi was a little surprised.

"I don't know him, but I've heard of him. Mencius recounted here the fact that Tie Pi probably instructed Ge Jing to burn down Ru Tongfu's shop (Chapter 355).

"Yes, yes, yes. Wei Cunshi nodded again and again: "I remember the time when he was unlucky, it was not long before, and it was able to coincide in time." ”

Meng Zitao asked, "Then do you have any way to find him now?"

Wei Cunshi shook his head and said: "I can't find it, but I can ask a friend to help inquire, of course, if he is no longer in Wenling, then I can't help it." ”

"Thank you so much. Meng Zitao smiled, now he found the iron sheet not only to instruct people to set fire, but also the canopy, he could see that it was an unearthed cultural relic, so he had to find out the origin of the thing.

Wei Cunshi smiled: "Hey, what's there to thank for, if I catch the iron sheet, I want to thank you for helping me avenge it." ”

Everyone chatted for a while, Wei Cunshi looked at the time and said, "Teacher Meng, have you eaten in the morning?"

Meng Zitao said: "I have already eaten it when I came out of Tianguang Ruin. ”

Wei Cunshi said: "Hey, what's delicious there, let's go, I'll have a treat, how about we go for morning tea together?"

After speaking, he pulled Meng Zitao and walked out, not giving Meng Zitao a refusal at all, and Meng Zitao followed him.

A group of three people walked out of the door, Wei Cunshi said: "The place we went to is near here, the store is a little small, and the environment is not as good as those big places, I don't know what you think?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "It should taste good, right?"

Wei Cunshi smiled: "Haha, the taste must be speechless." ”

Zhou Yide, who was next to him, took over and said: "The morning tea in that store is really good, even I, a northerner, can get used to it." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "As long as the food is delicious, I don't have any problems at all." ”

The three of them were talking and laughing, and suddenly, they heard a whistle, which immediately caught their attention and looked towards the direction where the whistle came.

I saw a man in a vest running in his direction, rushing in front of the pair of three people in three steps and two steps, with his arms crossed, shouting, "Stop me!"

Meng Zitao looked at this man in the vest who was blocking the road and provoking, and immediately remembered who this person was, it was the stall owner who wanted to deceive Xun Suo in Tianguang Ruin, but was recognized by Meng Zitao and Shu Ze, at that time, he not only scolded, but also said cruel words, he didn't expect to meet here.

"It turned out that it was you, stopping us, did you want to thank me for making you less evil?" Meng Zitao said jokingly.

The man in the vest was a little short, but because he happened to see Meng Zitao, his mind was hot, and he rushed up, seeing that the other party was three people, his confidence was a little lacking, but when he saw several companions in the streets and alleys rushing over, he directly showed a fierce face, pointed at Meng Zitao and scolded:

"Boy, you ruined your brother's business in the morning, and today my brothers must teach you a lesson!

Meng Zitao spread his hands and pretended to be helpless: "How can you liars get mixed up, it's my business!"

After speaking, without waiting for the vest man to reply, he flew up and kicked it over.

The man in the vest was caught off guard, he originally wanted to wait for his companions to come over and beat Meng Zitao together, but he didn't expect Meng Zitao to strike first, so when he was kicked firmly, the whole person staggered back a few steps and sat on the ground.

This is still the relationship between Meng Zitao and not using much force, if you add a few points, you can directly kick the vest man to the fracture, even so, it makes the vest man choke, his chest is stuffy for a while, his face is pale, and he feels a little out of breath.

At this time, the companion of the vest man rushed over, surrounded Meng Zitao and them, and at the same time, pulled the tank man up and asked him if there was anything wrong.

The man in the vest rubbed his chest, became angry, pointed at Meng Zitao and shouted: "Brothers, beat me, kill me!"

"It's bad, Teacher Meng, there are a lot of them, let's run quickly!" Zhou Yide saw that there were five or six people on the other side, and his calves and stomach trembled a little.

"You wait here, and I'll get them all done in a moment. Meng Zitao smiled contemptuously, and then rushed towards the crowd.

The next development was a nightmare for the vest man and his companions, who watched Meng Zitao rush to their side, and without even a chance to make a move, they were all overturned by Meng Zitao.

And Mencius was angry that they were deceiving people, and the man in the vest said such cruel words just now, and he used some strength in his hands, and immediately beat these people to cry wolf.

Seeing Meng Zitao walking to his side, the man in the vest screamed in pain, and said with a fierce expression: "You...... What do you want to do, let me tell you, I still have a brother who hasn't come, if you dare to touch me again, you won't give up."

Meng Zitao patted the man in the vest on the face, and said with a smile: "I'm so scared, let them come to me!"

The man in the vest is worthy of being a liar, and immediately changed his expression, and said with a sad face: "Big brother, I don't know Taishan with my eyes, you don't care about villains, just let me go." ”

Meng Zitao laughed and said, "You now know that you want me to let you go, so why didn't you say it just now?

The man in the vest laughed dryly: "It's me who is wrong, it's me who is not good!" But people, it's all like this, especially a little person like me, I like to see the wind and rudder the most, you see, you don't have anything to lose anyway, and you beat us up, so let it pass." ”

Meng Zitao laughed: "Yo, you can speak well, but I have to ask you, if we were lying on the ground now, would you let us go so easily?"

The man in the vest said: "Big brother, what do you want, as long as we can get it, I will give it all to you." ”

"I'm not going to be with people like you......"

Just as he was saying this, Meng Zitao heard Zhou Yide's voice behind him: "Did you deceive a mother and daughter before? Don't be sloppy, I already recognize your appearance, dare to lie believe it or not, I beat you." ”

The man who was questioned by Zhou Yide was forced to hang his head and said, "I deceived a mother and daughter." ”

Zhou Yide perked up: "What about the money, don't tell me it's all used!"

The situation is stronger than people, and the man said honestly: "I have five thousand on me, and the rest is where we live." ”

At this time, the man in the vest hurriedly said: "Uncle, I still have a few jade ornaments, worth twenty or thirty thousand, if you agree to let me go, I am willing to give them to you." ”

Anyway, when he wanted to get the defrauded money, Meng Zitao agreed to go over and take a look, and he kicked the vest man and his companion a few times: "Don't do any tricks for me, I can make you not hurt, or I can make you hurt to death." ”

The man in the vest and his companion were immediately a little stunned, because Meng Zitao's few kicks actually made them fine, if it weren't for the pain just now that had not completely subsided, they would all think it was an illusion. It is precisely because of this that they respect Mencius Tao like a god, and some small thoughts have dissipated.

The vest man and the others honestly led everyone to their temporary residence, which was similar to the place where Zhou Yide and them lived, except that it was a little dirtier, and one of the rooms was used to store the goods.

The man in the vest led everyone into that room, and suddenly there was a peculiar smell, it should be the smell of various chemicals, as for the reason, there is no need to say more.

The man in the vest asked Meng Zitao to stand at the door and wait for a while, and he went to get the jade ornament.

Meng Zitao looked around, and was attracted by a stone seal not far away, not that the material of this stone seal was outstanding, but that the stone seal gave him a strange feeling.

He walked over and picked up the stone seal to take a look, and found that this stone seal was different from the past, it was very big, he had never seen such a large size stone seal before, the stone seal carved tiger button, the material was made of general Qingtian stone, the carving was average, except for the size was more outstanding, there was no other special feature.

But since the lithograph gave him a strange feeling, there must be something special, so he used the ability......

At this time, the man in the vest came back with his things: "Big brother, how about you take a look?" ”

Meng Zitao came back to his senses and looked at the jade brought by the man in the vest, it was indeed okay, and the value was about the same, and he was about to speak, when the mobile phone rang, it was Shu Ze's call.

After hanging up the phone, Meng Zitao said to the man in the vest: "Okay, for the sake of these jade, I will let you go, and if it falls into my hands next time, then don't blame me for being rude!"

"No, it won't......," everyone nodded.

asked for the money that the mother and daughter were defrauded of, as well as the stone seal, everyone left one after another, as for these liars, Meng Zitao really didn't plan to deal with them, but he told them the news, as for what Xun Suo would do, it was none of his business.

Because of the stone seal, Meng Zitao made an excuse to return to the hotel, and then took out the tools, unloaded the stone seal into eight pieces, and took out a gold seal from it, judging from the seal, it was Hong Xiuquan's gold seal.

Speaking of which, Hong Xiuquan's gold seal is related to a theft case in the Qing court.

It turned out that in June 1864, the Hunan army broke through Tianjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and in the early morning of 17 June, they seized one gold seal and two jade seals from a group of Taiping troops who had broken through the siege. Zeng Guofan handed it over, and the gold seal was stored in a cabinet in the duty room of the Han Zhang Jing of the Military Aircraft Department.

As for how the gold seal was stolen, there are also several records in the relevant files, saying that after the gold seal was lost, the Department of Prudent Criminal Justice of the Ministry of Internal Affairs conducted a "separate interrogation" on the suspects, probably an isolated interrogation, and did not say why.

If the interrogation is inconclusive, detective measures will have to be implemented. So he sent Ouchi secret agents to conduct detectives in the capital, and the detective level was not low, one was the "Six Grades Top Dai", the leader of the Fan Service Bao Xiangde, and the other was the head of the Yin Commission, Yingkui.

According to Wang Quan, a fellow of the shop, on August 24, a man surnamed Sa personally came to the store with a gold seal and asked to melt it into ordinary gold bars.

In the end, the two sides made a deal for 40 wages, and the gold seal was melted down to make 10 gold bars, weighing 11 taels. According to the recollection of the shopkeeper, the gold seal was engraved with the words "Long live the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Golden Seal". According to the seal stamped on the preserved Heavenly King's holy decree, the text on the golden seal should be "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Golden Seal Dao King Quan Feng Tian Zhu Demon Kill Ya Liuzheng".

At that time, I thought that the jewelry shop guys probably didn't bother to remember it, because they only had the idea that gold could be cast and melted, and they didn't have this concept.

So Shun Teng went down, and the culprit locked up Langzhong Salona of the Zhangjing Criminal Department of the Military Aircraft Department. According to Salona's confession, when he was on his morning shift at the Military Aircraft Department on 17 August, he was originally on duty in the Manchurian duty room, but he sneaked into the Han duty room and saw a cabinet open with the golden seal of the Heavenly King inside.
