Pony King smiled slightly, "Of course that's fine. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the waiter next to him, who immediately brought another box.

After opening it, I saw a jade god inside, with his hands on his knees, sitting upright. The head is huge and hairless, with apricot eyes and long ears, a wide nose and thick lips, and a serene face. There are perforations under the armpits and between the feet, which are rounded and regular.

Meng Zitao took it in his hand and observed, the surface of this thing was also covered with gray Qin, using the ability, there was also a considerable amount of aura inside the statue of the god, and like the turtle statue, there was a trace of spirituality in the aura, which made the speed of the exercise run a little faster.

Meng Zitao controlled a large amount of aura pouring into his body, and on the surface, he remained silent and put the statue of the god back.

Pony King smiled and asked, "What does Mr. Stone think?"

"Good. ”

Meng Zitao nodded, and then asked, "I don't know what Mr. Ma wants me to do?"

Seeing Meng Zitao say this, the Pony King knew a little more in his heart, Meng Zitao was very interested in artifacts like stone turtles and gods and men, so the next thing to say would be easy to do.

"Mr. Shi, actually, I would like to ask you to go to the place where these things were found and have a look. If you agree, then I will give you this statue of God. ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Why did you choose me?"

Pony King smiled and said, "It's easy, because you can recognize these things." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Mr. Ma, with all due respect, there should be quite a few experts who can recognize these artifacts, right?"

The Pony King said, "I don't want to make this matter known to passers-by, in addition to you, there are two experts who will go together, Mr. Shi will think about it?"

Meng Zitao pretended to ponder for a moment and said, "Mr. Ma, to tell you the truth, if it's just this statue of a god and a man, I'm not very interested. ”

When Ma Yuecheng heard this, he said in a very impulsive tone: "Has no one taught you that people should be content?"

Meng Zitao glanced at Ma Yuecheng and said, "Mr. Ma, if this is your idea, then I don't think there is any need for us to cooperate." ”

The Pony King scolded at Ma Yuecheng, "What a mouth!

Ma Yuecheng's face was a little ugly, but he could also see that the Pony King was really angry, so he didn't dare to say anything more, and got up and walked out of the restaurant.

The Pony King smiled apologetically with Meng Zitao and said, "Mr. Shi, I'm really sorry, my nephew grew up with his grandparents and didn't have much education, please don't mind." In addition, you can rest assured that he will not go with him this time. ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said that he was not angry, and at the same time he was thinking in his heart, Ma Yuecheng would not have so much resentment because his position was replaced by himself, right? If this is the case, then it can only be said that this person is too stingy.

"Mr. Ma, I won't tell you, I was a little surprised by this, why do you believe that I won't spread the word?"

The Pony King smiled and said, "I believe that Boss Yuan will not be wrong, Boss Yuan, am I right?"

Yuan Zili smiled, but his smile was a little stiff.

Meng Zitao heard the meaning of Pony King's words, if he dared to reveal the matter, then Yuan Zili would definitely be unlucky, so Pony King didn't care whether his identity was true or not, as long as he found Yuan Zili.

Of course, this is also based on Yuan Zili's accumulation of fame in this industry, otherwise how could it be so easy to believe, and Meng Zitao believes that Pony King will definitely investigate his identity, but fortunately, he uses his real identity this time, and it will not be revealed if someone in the department helps to cover it up.

Pony King asked, "I wonder what Mr. Stone usually likes to collect?"

"Porcelain and jade. Meng Zitao replied.

The Pony King pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Shi, since you don't want a statue of a god or a man, I have a Kangxi blue and white colorful osmanthus cup in my hand, you should understand its meaning, and if you agree, I can transfer two million of this cup to you." ”

Meng Zitao's expression was straight: "Are you serious?"

"How could I possibly joke about this?" said Pony King with a smile, "You wait here for me for a while, and I'll go and get the Flower God Cup." ”

Pony King gets up and goes out the door.

At this time, Yuan Zili was a little anxious, he wanted Meng Zitao to refuse the invitation of the Pony King, the reason is very simple, the benefits are often proportional, the Pony King in order to make Meng Zitao agree, he was willing to take the most scarce Kangxi blue and white colorful osmanthus cup, and he would definitely encounter considerable danger at that time.

Of course, Meng Zitao also knew Yuan Zili's thoughts, but judging from the situation of the stone turtle and the statue of the gods, he would definitely have to go there, as for the danger, with his skills and intuitive reminders, his own safety can still be guaranteed.

After a while, the pony king came back with something, and Mencius identified it, it was indeed genuine, this was a porcelain that could not be found, and Mencius had to take it down.

"Mr. Ma, I don't know how we trade?" Meng Zitao said.

Pony King smiled, "We can trade before we go, what do you think?"

Meng Zitao thought about it for a moment and asked if he could advance it, but not surprisingly, the Pony King declined. So, Mencius asked again about the time of departure, and the Pony King told him that he would leave in a month.

After eating at the Pony King's, Mencius took his leave.

All the way out of the villa area, Yuan Zili said with a wry smile: "Teacher Meng, why did you promise him?"

Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know it will be very dangerous, and I naturally have a reason to go, not just for that osmanthus cup." ”

Yuan Zili saw Meng Zitao say this, and it was not easy to persuade again: "Okay, I hope you will pay attention to safety then." 、”

Meng Zitao nodded with a smile, and then said, "I still have to trouble you to inquire about Fang Wei's affairs." ”

"Don't worry, I'll do my best to investigate. ”

Back at the hotel, Meng Zitao got the investigation information of the Pony King, don't talk about the background first, the Pony King's character has a saying, the information shows that this person is a smiling tiger, sinister and cunning, ruthless as a jackal, and a hero-like character.

Because of this, Meng Zitao felt very strange about his atmosphere today, and he actually gave up millions of benefits and gave the osmanthus cup to himself, he probably didn't want to let himself go home alive.

In addition, Mencius also wondered why the Pony King would find him, because he could directly determine the value of the stone turtle and the statue of the god and the god? With the Pony King's ability, he could not find a more suitable one than himself? Don't be funny!

So, there must be a reason for it, and it is likely to be on oneself.

Meng Zitao thought for a moment, and had a faint guess in his heart, but he felt a little nonsense, so he put it aside first, and he would know sooner or later anyway.

The matter of this trip to the mountain city has basically been solved, and he has also found Yuan Lao, who is also the successor of the "Ghost Hand King", Meng Zitao pondered whether it is possible to let Yuan Lao go to the museum that he is about to complete to help him, he also vaguely mentioned this matter at the beginning, but Yuan Lao politely refused, but he has not given up.

As for the investigation of Luo Shiyi's murderer, Meng Zitao really has not much to do, he is not a professional after all, his ability in this area is limited, he can only play a role in supervision, and the matter should be handed over to the police.

The next day, Meng Zitao was ready to return to Ling City, if there was news from the mountain city, he could come immediately, and it would not take long to take the plane.

Before leaving, Meng Zitao had to arrange Chu Xiaoqin's father and do acupuncture before leaving.

drove to Yu Xiaoqin's house, and when they met, Chu Xiaoqin was both excited, and a little speechless.

Meng Zitao asked, "What's the matter, is your father's situation a little repetitive?"

Chu Xiaoqin shook her head: "No, my father's situation is fine." It's just that I heard from the police, did Luo Shiyi be killed?"

Meng Zitao sighed: "Yes, the body has been found. ”

Chu Xiaoqin was stunned, covered her mouth with her hands, and looked shocked: "How is it possible!"

"Who do you think is most likely to kill her?" Meng Zitao immediately explained: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to hear your thoughts." ”

Chu Xiaoqin pondered for a moment and said: "In fact, I don't know much about her circle, I basically heard it from Lin Zhengqi, and everyone doesn't have a good opinion of her. Actually, I also persuaded her not to entangle with those people, these people are arrogant lords, maybe one day the patience is gone, and she will suffer a big loss, but she has not taken it seriously, and the result is ......"

In the end, Chu Xiaoqin looked very sad, she was still grateful to Luo Shiyi, after all, if it weren't for her, she wouldn't know Lin Zhengqi, her father might not have lasted so long, and she wouldn't know Meng Zitao.

Meng Zitao asked, "Has she ever mentioned to you who she has a better relationship with?"

Chu Xiaoqin said: "She never told me about this, I didn't inquire. ”

Meng Zitao nodded: "I'm sorry for you." ”

"Teacher Meng, you are too polite......"

Chu Xiaoqin took Meng Zitao into his father's room, and the patient's face did look better, and the effect of the treatment was outstanding.

Next, Meng Zitao gave the patient acupuncture again, Chu Xiaoqin and the old lady watched from the side, compared with the first meeting, the sadness on the faces of the two was obviously a lot less.

At the end of the treatment, Meng Zitao cleaned the utensils, eliminated the poison, and said to the grandparents: "The patient's condition is better, no accident, and the probability of being awake is relatively large." ”

Meng Zitao's words made the ancestors and grandchildren overjoyed, and they expressed their gratitude to Meng Zitao again and again.

Next, Meng Zitao mentioned to them about moving to Lingshi, saying that they were ready, so they just had to nod.

Chu Xiaoqin said that the luggage was also ready, and the old lady was more at ease about her son's safety on the road, and Meng Zitao also gave her a reassurance, unless she was particularly unlucky, there would be basically no problems.

"Alright, then I'll tell someone to come over. Meng Zitao said.

"Thank you, Mr. Meng. ”

Chu Xiaoqin continued: "By the way, I have a gift for you here, I hope you don't dislike it." ”

After saying that, she went and fetched a general's can.

As soon as Meng Zitao saw the shape of this general's jar, he knew it in his heart, he first smiled and expressed his gratitude, and then asked, "Miss Zhen, what is the origin of this general's jar?"

Yu Xiaoqin was also honest, and said bluntly: "This is what I bought from a neighbor, I have already told him that if the thing is wrong, you can return it." ”

Meng Zitao nodded: "This thing is indeed old, but this purpose is exquisite." ”

Yu Xiaoqin was stunned: "Ah! Isn't this an ornament at home?"

"One kind of general jar is for decoration, the other is not. Meng Zitao explained.

Generally, people who don't know much about antiques will think that the general jar has two functions, one is that the ancient emperor rewarded the meritorious soldiers on the battlefield, and the general jar is the supreme honor of the ancient soldiers; the general jar is a kind of porcelain specially used by general-level figures, and the ancient generals used this kind of porcelain to hold things at home.

In fact, the general jar has nothing to do with the "general", as long as anyone who knows a little about antiques knows that the original purpose of the general jar is similar to today's "urn".

During the Jiawan period of the Ming Dynasty, the Buddhist monastery burned a batch of special urns for the ashes left by the cremation of the monks and nuns, and the general jar was born.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, because the shape of the general's jar was tall and straight, rich and handsome, the outer wall of the utensils could be decorated with blue and white, colorful and other techniques. From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, general's jars were mass-produced, and their pastel, monochrome glaze, blue and white double happiness jars and elephant ear vases and other utensils could be regarded as necessary for wedding dowries at that time.

Therefore, not all general's jars are used to hold bones in the antique market, and some sellers are worried that buyers will not like the statement that general's jars were used to hold bones, so they "fool" that they say that they came out of the general's house.

Meng Zitao went on to explain: "As for how to tell the difference, just look at whether there are small holes in the jar. The jar containing the ashes has a small hole at the bottom or on the body, because the Chinese people believe that people have souls, and the soul must go out of the body after death, and the soul must be guaranteed to enter and exit freely. And yours, the general's jar, turned out to be for ashes. ”

The grandparents didn't think that a jar would be so exquisite, and they were a little stunned for a while, and then they both got angry.
