Chapter 874: A Chance Encounter on the Bus

Judging from the style of pulping on the surface of the beads, it has a history of at least hundreds of years, which means that the production time was at least during the Ming Dynasty.

When it comes to nuclear carving, people are most familiar with the "Dongpo Night Tour Red Cliff" nuclear boat written by Wei Xueyun at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Shuyuan, a native of Sioux City, vividly portrayed Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian and the Buddha Yin monk on the peach pit that was less than three centimeters long and about two grains high. The rosary hanging from the left arm of the Buddha seal can be counted clearly.

And this bead is only a little bigger than an adult's thumbnail, and it is difficult to carve such a delicate and fascinating landscape figure painting, coupled with the incomparably hardness of this special material, the author's skills are undoubtedly more superb than Wang Shuyuan.

And such an author, Meng Zitao has no impression at all, I have to say that the author is as mysterious as the statue of the Nine Sons of the Dragon.

Meng Zitao carefully observed this bead, and then asked, "Master Jiang, I won't tell you, this bead is useful to me, so I'm not welcome." So, if it's convenient, can you tell us where this bead came from?"

Jiang Jingping smiled and said: "This is nothing inconvenient, in fact, this bead was given to me by the victim's family because I helped someone solve a case before, and I have his contact number, but it has been several years, and I don't know if his phone number has changed." ”

Meng Zitao nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome for you." ”

"Wait until I'll find it. ”

Jiang Jingping took out a phone book and rummaged through it, and after a while, he found the phone number and called it with the fixed line at home, although the phone was connected, but no one answered, and I don't know what was going on.

"I'll fight again at night, no, I can only go to his house to find it. ”

"It's okay to take a run. Meng Zitao smiled.

Next, Meng Zitao prescribed two prescriptions, which were used by Jiang Jingping's father and daughter, taking into account Jiang Weijuan's situation, feeding Chinese medicine with nasal feeding.

After having lunch at Jiang Jingping's place, Meng Zitao received a call from the association, saying that the president had returned early and wanted to see Meng Zitao, so Meng Zitao submitted his farewell. Originally, Gao Binshi wanted to send him, but he hadn't met Jiang Jingping for a long time, and Meng Zitao asked him to stay here for a while.

So, Jiang Jingping sent a car to send Meng Zitao to the association.

The president of the association is called Lewe, a short and fat man with a smiling face all the time, giving people a kind feeling, but Meng Zitao will not be deceived by his appearance, because he has received news from his master in advance, this president Lewei is a smiling tiger, and he must be careful when contacting him.

In addition, this President Le is also a dragon on weekdays, basically unless it is a particularly important matter, he can't be seen, and the usual work of the association is also discussed and decided by several directors of the association.

But even so, Lewe's existence in the association is still unique, which also shows how powerful he is.

According to Mencius, new members like him rarely get the opportunity to meet Lewe alone, unless they have achieved considerable achievements or something has happened, and the latter often does not have any good results.

When he arrived at Lewe's office, after Meng Zitao introduced himself, Lewei was a burst of praise, which made Meng Zitao feel a little worried, but don't come to the horse after a while.

"Xiao Meng, do you know what I called you over today?" said Lewey with a smile.

Meng Zitao shook his head: "It should be a good thing." ”

Lewe asked rhetorically, "Hehe, what do you say?"

Meng Zitao smiled bitterly: "President, I can't guess, just say it." ”

"Of course it's a good thing. Lewehaha smiled and said: "First of all, I commend you for discovering the moth of Peng Quanan, in addition, you have also made great contributions to the exploration of the two ancient tombs, and secondly, according to the clues you provided, you found the original copy of the "Yongle Canon", which is of great help to us in studying ancient history, science and technology, etc." ”

"In addition, because of you, Black Fire and Soul Hunter have also suffered huge losses, in view of these, our association will give you a personal special merit as a reward, and the treatment should be improved. Of course, material rewards are indispensable, do you want money or something else?"

Meng Zitao thought about it for a moment and asked, "Is it okay to ask for anything?"

"It's definitely not okay to kill people and set fires. ”

"I want a piece of land in the capital, okay?"

Lewe laughed, "Do you want to be a developer?"

Meng Zitao waved his hand: "No, I just want a piece of land with a better location to build a sales and exhibition center for all kinds of goods under my name." ”

Lewe immediately agreed: "It's not a big problem, but what else?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "You should have heard about my opening of my personal museum, do you think you can get some support for the exhibits?"

Lewe asked, "What support do you want?"

Meng Zitao said: "Now the Forbidden City has less than one percent of the exhibits, which undoubtedly causes a lot of waste, and it is better to take some of them to my museum for exhibition, and I don't want to own them." ”

According to statistics, the Forbidden City now has more than 1.8 million pieces (sets) of cultural relics, and only 10,000 of these collections are on display.

Lewe laughed: "You kid has a good calculation, huh...... It's not impossible, but there are requirements. ”

"What request?" As long as it is not an excessive request, how could Meng Zitao not agree.

"You also know that the Forbidden City has more than 1.8 million collections, of which nearly a million have not been restored in time, and some large-scale cultural relics have not met the basic storage conditions such as fire prevention, insect prevention and dust prevention," Lewei said. So I can accommodate your request, except that the collection you choose must be selected from the nearly a million items that have not been restored. ”

Meng Zitao was stunned and said with a wry smile: "President, you have a good calculation." ”

Lewe smiled: "In this world, there must be gains and losses, and there must be gains and losses, thinking about good things, how likely do you think it is? But I can also guarantee that as long as you have the conditions suitable for the preservation of cultural relics, and there are no major mistakes, the Forbidden City will definitely not want things back." ”

Meng Zitao scratched his head: "I'm afraid of the soldiers of the iron battalion." ”

Lewe said: "Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, since I made a promise, even if I don't do this president, the agreement is still valid." ”

Since Lewey said so, Meng Zitao has nothing to scruple about: "I believe in you, but if you make a proposal, my reward should not have to change this condition." ”

Lewe scolded with a smile: "You kid, okay, I suggest that you exchange it for money, otherwise you will suffer from the maintenance of cultural relics in the future." ”

The maintenance of cultural relics does cost a lot of manpower and material resources, many museums can only go out of business because they can't afford it, although Mencius Tao is not worried about making money, but he also doesn't want to let himself be stained with copper smell, of course it is good to be a little easier.

After that, Lewe issued a document to Meng Zitao, asking Meng Zitao to fill in some information, Meng Zitao saw the amount on it and his heart was happy, so much money, as long as he managed it simply, the annual income was more than enough for his own Bogu Pavilion expenses.

After putting away the information, Lewe's expression straightened: "Okay, after talking about the good things, let's talk about one more thing that may be unfavorable to you." ”

"What's the matter?" Meng Zitao asked.

"Fishing boats found bodies in the sea around the uninhabited island, and we sent people to investigate and found that the island was nowhere to be found, and there were signs of a violent explosion," Levey said. ”

Meng Zitao immediately reacted: "You mean that someone also went to that island and touched the box left behind, triggering the mechanism?"

"That's for sure, as for the person who went, you don't need me to remind you, right?"

Meng Zitao nodded: "It should be the person of the Black Fire, but what does this have to do with me?"

"With your clever brain, you still can't figure it out, why did the people of the Black Fire get to that island so quickly?"

"Inner ghost. "Meng Zitao's good mood instantly deteriorated a lot, since there is an inner ghost, it will inevitably be found out that he left the box, then the black fire will inevitably press the cause of the loss on Meng Zitao's head, if the loss is heavy, coupled with the irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides, it will inevitably take fierce revenge against him.

"It's really a bone appendage!" Meng Zitao was indignant: "Is there nothing to do about them?"

Le Wei said: "Black fire can make most countries disgusted and still live well, there are always some abilities, and it is not easy to eradicate it in a short time." I don't need to say much about the specifics, you should have a deep understanding. ”

Meng Zitao sighed secretly, he really had a deep understanding of this, not to mention anything else, just take the old captain introduced by the army, at the beginning, they went very smoothly, causing a lot of trouble to the black fire.

However, recently, there has been bad news from there one after another, the black fire has counterattacked them, and there are still government troops among them, causing them heavy casualties, and now they have been reduced by fifty percent, and some of the remaining subordinates have already retreated.

Fortunately, the old captain is still quite capable, otherwise it is normal to betray, but the task seems to be unfinished.

Meng Zitao is also very helpless about this, he is very powerful now, but he can't compete with guns head-on, and he still has a family, so he can't cut off contact with his family, and go abroad alone to completely destroy the black fire.

Of course, the members of Black Fire can't help him at home, but there is always a sharp sword hanging above his head, and it's not like that.

Le Wei said: "Xiao Meng, you don't have to worry too much, now the black fire is indeed dark, but if he dares to deal with you, it will turn from dark to light, so the black fire actually doesn't dare to act rashly." In addition, I will give you one more guarantee, unless you go abroad, the black fire will not be able to move a single hair of your hair. ”

Meng Zitao joked: "Then it's okay to move two." ”

Le Wei laughed: "It seems that you are not worried about the black fire, and you are still in the mood to joke." ”

"Otherwise, what should I do, do you have a sad face every day?" Meng Zitao shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless expression.

Le Wei gave Meng Zitao a reassuring gesture: "The black fire is also a thorn in our flesh, we will not give up the encirclement and suppression of this organization, but this matter will take some time, and during this time, unless there is a necessary reason, you should stay in the country with peace of mind." ”

"Okay......"

Because of the black fire, Meng Zitao was not in a good mood, so when he went back, he did not call a taxi, but went to take the bus, which can be regarded as a distraction.

It's just that after getting on the bus, Meng Zitao regretted it, because it was the afternoon rush hour, and not long after Meng Zitao got on the bus, the carriage was already overcrowded, and there was a serious fox odor next to Meng Zitao, which was really sour.

Fortunately, it's winter, and if it's summer, the taste is probably the same as that of canned herring.

Meng Zitao sympathized with this person, but because his sense of smell was too sensitive now, he said that he couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to get off at the next stop.

At this time, there was a sudden noise from the back of the carriage, and Meng Zitao looked at it and found that it was a tall thin man and a young woman pulling.

"What are you doing!"

"Go back, you are my wife, come back with me!"

"You're insane, who's your wife!"

"What, how can you not be my wife, my wife is obviously the same as you, wearing red clothes. ”

"Neurotic, this person is really neurotic, driver, stop quickly, there is a neurotic ...... here"

Passengers shouted for business, the rear compartment became chaotic, and some people took out their mobile phones and prepared to call 110.

At this time, an inch-headed man in the middle of the carriage stood up and said, "No need to fight, the first station in front is the hospital, and I also got off at that station, and I dragged him down." ”

As he spoke, he squeezed through the crowd, came to the tall and thin man, grabbed the man's arm and said, "Let's go, let's go, I see you are so thin, let's go eat something together, okay?"

The man looked salivating and said, "You really invited me to eat, don't lie to me." ”

"What am I lying to you? The man coaxed and finally dragged the man out of the car. The passengers in the car breathed a sigh of relief

At this time, Meng Zitao also followed them out of the car and followed them all the way. Sure enough, instead of going to the hospital they said they were talking about, the two turned into the side alley and took out the contents of their pockets.

Meng Zitao took out his mobile phone, adjusted the focus of the camera, and suddenly shouted: "Two big brothers, wait." ”

As soon as the two in front of them turned their heads, Meng Zitao quickly pressed the shutter, and a close-up of his face was successfully frozen.

"What are you doing?" said the tall, thin man, startled and angry.

Meng Zitao sneered: "One of you two pretends to be crazy and stupid to attract the attention of passengers, and the other takes the opportunity to pickpocket, I have already seen it." If you don't want this photo of yours to appear in front of the police, take out all the things you stolen!"
