"He didn't answer the phone, this guy didn't want to live anymore, right?" Zhong Jinxian contacted a friend, but the news came, which made him very unhappy.

Meng Zitao, who was next to him, learned that Yin Changxi didn't answer the phone, and a thought flashed in his heart, saying, "It's possible that he has been arrested." ”

"Caught (what's going on)?" everyone looked at Meng Zitao with some surprise.

"Yin Changxi's three subordinates give me a very bad feeling, I think these people may have lives in their hands, I will let them investigate carefully, maybe they have dug up some clues, wait for me to call and ask......"

After a while, Meng Zitao hung up the phone and sneered: "Yin Changxi is really involved in a murder case." ”

Zhong Jinxian's curiosity soared, and he asked, "Tell me what's going on." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Do you know that Chengheng Group was originally Yin Changxi's father-in-law?"

Shen Liwei nodded and said: "I have heard about this, I heard that Yin Changxi's father-in-law was kidnapped and tore up the ticket, could it be that Yin Changxi sent someone to do it, this is too brute!"

Meng Zitao said: "It was he who sent people to do it, and it was the people who did it." ”

Shen Liwei exclaimed: "Why are you so frustrated!"

"Did Yin Changxi's father-in-law only give birth to a daughter?" Zhong Jinxian asked a key question.

"There is only one daughter...... Speaking of this, Shen Liwei felt that something was wrong: "Hey, this is not right, Yin Changxi's father-in-law is an only daughter, and he also said to the outside world that when he retires, Yin Changxi will take over, how could Yin Changxi think of killing his father-in-law?"

Meng Zitao said: "It's very simple, because his father-in-law found another junior and gave birth to a son." ”

"Uh......"

For this reason, everyone was surprised, but also felt that it was reasonable that the old man had a son again, and he would definitely have to divide the property in the future, so it was better to dispose of it first.

Thinking of this, Tian Mengmeng asked in surprise: "Did Yin Changxi kill his brother-in-law too?"

Meng Zitao said: "Yes, it was handled cleanly, except for a few people who knew about it, no one else knew that Yin Changxi's father-in-law had found Xiao San." ”

Zhong Jinxian couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Amazing, I've always heard that Yin Changxi is a ruthless person, but I didn't expect that he could even do this kind of thing, coupled with his management ability, he could still be a hero in the ancient wars." ”

Tian Mengmeng said angrily: "What's amazing, you can kill people for money, what else can't be done, this kind of person should be shot, bruised and scattered, and sent to the eighteenth layer of hell!"

Zhong Jinxian smiled: "That's it, don't get excited." ”

"I hate this kind of human-faced beast heart the most, next time you dare to say anything, I have to beat you!" Tian Mengmeng raised her show fist.

"Ah, I don't dare!" Zhong Jinxian made exaggerated movements, amusing everyone.

Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Shen, this time you don't have to worry about Yin Changxi coming to trouble you again, as for the reason, I will inform you when I know the situation." ”

Shen Liwei thanked him repeatedly, he was very grateful to Meng Zitao, if it weren't for Meng Zitao today, he wouldn't have suffered a lot, and he didn't know why he offended Yin Changxi, it would be too depressing.

Everyone was very happy to eat a whole sheep feast, but the smell on the body was not very good, so everyone wanted to find a hot spring to soak.

Just as she was about to leave, Tian Mengmeng saw Meng Zitao carrying a sack of things, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "Brother Meng, what have you bought, and you still use a sack." ”

"Hehe, it's a bag of books, but I don't know what kind of books are in it. Meng Zitao told the previous story again.

"I'll go, Zitao, will you do this kind of thing?" Zhong Jinxian had a feeling that the sun was coming out in the west.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Once in a while, even if you lose everything, you can lose a thousand yuan." ”

Zhong Jinxian smiled and said: "Hey, I didn't say it, as far as your luck is concerned, you can't lose if you want to, don't believe it, let's make a bet." ”

Mencius was happy: "I bet with you with my own things, am I having a problem with my brain?"

Looking at everyone's posture, they should want to know what is in the sack, and he happened to be quite curious, so he opened the sack and took out the books inside.

Meng Zitao originally thought that the books inside would be somewhat stolen, but he didn't expect them to be carefully preserved, although they were a little old, but they were not dirty.

The books in the sack were taken out one by one, and Shen Liwei next to him was very surprised: "It's all old books!"

"What is an old book?" asked Chung.

Shen Liwei explained: "In our industry, the books published between 1875 and 1965 are called old editions, and 1975 is the early years of Guangxu. After 1965, everyone knew what had happened, many books were devastated and very few remained. ”

Therefore, the books published in these 90 years are collectible, and as for the books that followed, although some of them are also collectible, on the whole, there is not much comparison. ”

Meng Zitao took over and said: "Yes, the books here are all excellent in the old editions, it seems that I will definitely not be able to lose." ”

"Not only can't I lose, but I also missed it. Shen Liwei said with a smile, just now the books taken out have exceeded 1,000 yuan, and there are still two-thirds left, which must be earned, and if there are out-of-print books, they will make a lot of money.

Zhong Jinxian shook his head and said, "I'll just say it, if you want this guy to lose money, it's impossible." ”

At this time, Meng Zitao took out a hardcover book that looked relatively thick, and there was no handwriting on the hardcover.

Meng Zitao knew that this was what he was looking for, but he still pretended to be curious and opened the hardcover book, the first few pages in it were quite normal, and they were written in the historical records, but after turning a few pages, he saw that there was another book hidden inside.

"Wow, there's still a book hidden in here!" Xu Tingdan exclaimed.

"Yuanhe County Map?" Shen Liwei was stunned, revealing a look of disbelief.

"What kind of book is this?" asked Tian Mengmeng suspiciously.

"Let me look it up on the Internet. Zhong Jinxian hurriedly took out his mobile phone and searched the Internet to find it: "Damn, this is a set of famous books!"

Tian Mengmeng said: "What kind of book is it, you can make it clear!"

Zhong Jinxian said: "This said, "Yuanhe County Atlas", 40 volumes, written by Li Jifu of the Tang Dynasty, is the earliest existing ancient general gazetteer in China. Because it was made in the Yuanhe period of Tang Xianzong, it was named. On the basis of summarizing the general gazetteers of the previous generation, this book has perfected the style of the general gazetteers, and has many supplements, and has made quite clear records of the zoning and evolution of various regions before the Tang Dynasty in China, and has quite high practical value in the academic circles. ”

Unfortunately, the drawings attached to this book are completely scattered, so that many intuitive historical and geographical data are missing, and many historical divisions that may have been relatively clear can only be verified on the basis of text. As a result, many historical issues have become unsolved. In addition, the text of the book is also scattered, and volumes 19, 20, 23, 24, 26, and 36 are all missing, and volumes 18 and 25 are also incomplete. ”

Shen Liwei excitedly took over the words and said: "To put it simply, the original book has 'map' and 'zhi', that is, maps and words, but now only 'zhi' is left, and the part of 'map' is completely scattered. In other words, the book "Yuanhe County Atlas" can actually only be called "Yuanhe County Chronicles" now. If this volume were illustrated, it would be priceless. ”

Zhong Jinxian urged: "Let's see, whether it's a 'picture' or a 'zhi'." ”

The book looked quite old, and Meng Zitao didn't dare to use any force at all, and carefully opened the ancient book, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

"It's a 'picture', it's really a picture!" Shen Liwei's body began to tremble with excitement.

Meng Zitao's face was also full of joy, and what made him even more excited was that the drawings attached to this volume of "Yuanhe County Atlas" were well preserved, although there were also a few small cavities, but they were all harmless, which was quite rare in rare books that had gone through thousands of years.

"Zitao, how much is this thing worth?" Zhong Jinxian asked, except for Meng Zitao and Shen Liwei, everyone else present was a layman, and they didn't understand the meaning of this rare book, so they could only judge its value from the price.

Meng Zitao shook his head and said: "This is really hard to say, because for us in the industry, it is a priceless treasure, of course, if you must give it a price, at least, it can be tens of millions." ”

Hearing this price, Gao Binshi and Xu Tingdan looked at each other, they didn't understand the antique industry, and they couldn't understand that such a thin book could sell at least 10 million, it was really incredible.

Zhong Jinxian immediately urged: "Look for it quickly, see if there is anything else?"

This is also what Meng Zitao wanted to do, he took out the books in the sack one by one, and found five hardcover books, all of which contained the drawings of the "Yuanhe County Atlas", but the preservation was not as complete as the first volume, and one of the volumes was somewhat damaged, but fortunately, the content could still be seen clearly. ，

A total of six volumes of drawings are certainly not all of the lost, but they are already quite precious, and have very important significance and value for the study of Tang Dynasty geography.

As for the value, there is no need to say more, Mencius is not stupid, it is definitely impossible to sell them.

Zhong Jinxian spread his hands and shook his head: "Hey! Every time I see you picking up leaks, I feel that my life is full of gloom, like I want to make tens of millions of dollars, tired like a dog, and you, pick up a leak every minute, people are really angry than people!"

Meng Zitao smiled: "Then you can simply change your career." ”

Zhong Jinxian raised his finger at Meng Zitao, and a southern Hunan dialect came out of his mouth: "I believe in your evil! Let's go, there is another boss treat today, let's go to the hot springs." ”

Due to the preciousness of ancient books, Meng Zitao went to the bank to save them before going to the hot springs with everyone, and Shen Liwei said goodbye first.

After soaking in the hot springs, we will do a massage and feel comfortable, and then everyone will take a car to a villa under the name of Zhong Jinxian.

Zhong Jinxian's villa is not very big, in his words, there are few people in the family to live, and if you want such a big villa, you will feel infiltrated when you sleep at night.

Of course, there is nothing to say about the environment here, but it is the beginning of winter, everything is depressed, and if it is spring and summer, it is really green and fragrant.

Zhong Jinxian took everyone around the villa, and when it was dinner time, the group came to the living room and sat down in turn.

Zhong Jinxian hired a nanny in the villa, named Ren Minsha, thirty-seven or eighteen years old, nearly forty years old, and she looked honest.

Zhong Jinxian said that in terms of relationship, he and Ren Minsha are still a little related, they are cousins and brothers, of course, the blood relationship is very far away.

But as the old saying goes, rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and no matter how weak the blood relationship is, it is nothing, and there will always be people who come to the door to ask for help. For the Zhong family, the family is big and the business is big, as long as it is not too much of a request, it can generally be agreed to, and it can be regarded as a good reputation.

Ren Minsha came to the door four years ago, when she was still bringing a nine-year-old son, saying that her husband was not good to her and couldn't get by, so she came to ask for a job, and she didn't have high requirements, as long as she could support the mother and son, she could do anything.

At that time, Zhong Jinxian saw that she was quick and cooked good food, so he asked her to come to him as a nanny, and she had been doing this for four years.

After Zhong Jinxian sat everyone down, he looked at Ren Minsha, who was serving food on the side, and frowned slightly: "Sister Ren, I see that your face is not very good, is there something wrong?"

"Huh? no...... It's nothing. Ren Minsha was very clumsy in disguise, and everyone could see that she had something on her mind.

Zhong Jinxian also asked, don't look at Ren Minsha's appearance is relatively weak, but she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, if she doesn't want to say it, she won't say it in general.

Since Zhong Jinxian doesn't ask, everyone is even more embarrassed to ask, taste the dishes made by Ren Minsha, not to mention, Ren Minsha's craftsmanship is really good, the taste is no worse than that made by the chef in a well-known restaurant, and there is also a taste of home, which makes everyone praise.

Everyone chatted while eating, and Ren Minsha also served the food in an orderly manner.

Time passed in a flash, everyone had almost eaten, and Ren Minsha brought a fresh mushroom and tofu soup, which looked refreshing and pleasant, and it was a perfect soup for everyone who had eaten a lot of meat dishes.

Meng Zitao scooped up a bowl of soup and was about to taste it, but he was a little strange in his heart, why Ren Minsha's face was worse than just now.

When the soup was delivered to his mouth, Meng Zitao frowned slightly, the soup was quite fragrant, but it was bland, and there was no salt at all.

Zhong Jinxian took a sip of soup, shook his head and smiled, and said to Ren Minsha, who was walking towards the kitchen, "Sister Ren, I forgot to put salt in the soup." ”

"Ah, is it?" Ren Minsha was stunned when she heard this, her face changed, and she apologized to Zhong Jinxian repeatedly, preparing to take the soup back and remake it.

"Sister Ren, don't be busy yet, I have something to say to you. Zhong Jinxian waved his hand.

Ren Minsha was a little unanxious, and said hurriedly: "Zhong Shao, I didn't mean it, don't drive me back!"

Zhong Jinxian was a little strange when he heard this: "When am I going to drive you back, who did you listen to?"

"I didn't ...... No, I just don't want to go back. Ren Minsha hurriedly waved her hand.

"You did a good job, how could someone let you go back?" Zhong Jinxian said this, seeing Ren Minsha's low mood, he had an idea in his heart: "Does your family want you to go back?"

Tian Mengmeng took over and said, "Sister Ren, it was your bastard husband who asked you to go back, right?"

Ren Minsha lowered her head and was silent for a long time, sighed, and whispered: "It's indeed him, he made two calls today and asked me to go back to my hometown and live with him." I couldn't be clearer about him, where he wanted to live, he obviously spent all the money I sent him, he couldn't play with money and drink, he just wanted to ask me for money. ”

In the end, Ren Minsha clenched her fists, but she was a little helpless.

Tian Mengmeng exclaimed: "What! Sister Ren, you still send him money! I said are you stupid, what are you doing with this kind of bastard, isn't it okay to divorce?"

Ren Minsha said weakly: "I also want to divorce him, but he just doesn't agree, and I don't dare to go back, for fear that he will beat me." ”

"He dares to beat you, I'm impatient!" Tian Mengmeng said angrily.

"Even if you don't go back, will he dare to come here and pull you back?" Zhong Jinxian asked.

Ren Minsha sighed: "He didn't dare to come and pull me back, but he said that if I dare not go back, he will go to my mother's house to make trouble, my parents are old, and their health is not very good, they really can't stand his trouble." ”

Although he has never met Ren Minsha's husband, through some of Ren Minsha's narrations and Zhong Jinxian's previous introductions, Meng Zitao can also imagine that this person's virtue is *** playing money, drinking, not doing his job, and beating his daughter-in-law, he is a complete bastard.

Meng Zitao was quite disgusted with this kind of person, and he also had some sympathy for Ren Minsha in his heart, how could a good woman be such a man, but he also wondered how Ren Minsha would agree to marry this kind of person in the first place.

Later, he learned from Zhong Jinxian that Ren Minsha's husband was also a businessman and made millions from scratch. However, as soon as some men have money, they don't know what their surname is, Ren Minsha's husband is like this, he feels that he has made a little money, so he starts to spend all his time outside, and as a result, he loses his home, so he simply gives up on himself.

"Sister Ren, what are you going to do?" asked Zhong Jinxian.

Ren Minsha lowered her head, like an ostrich with her head buried in a pit, bit her lip and said weakly, "I don't know what to do." I don't want to go back to him, I don't want to send him any more money, it's okay for me to suffer a little sin, but I want to think about my son's future. ”

"But as you said, he'll go to your mother's house to make trouble. Xu Tingdan said.

"If he dares to make trouble, arrest him. Tian Mengmeng said indignantly.

Xu Tingdan said: "It's not a big crime, how long can you be locked up if you are caught? Unless this kind of person is beaten to death with a rod, when he comes out, he is likely to retaliate." ”

When Ren Minsha heard this, her eyes were red, and she was a little choked up: "I...... I don't really know what to do. ”
