Chapter 942: Ancient Paintings
I only heard the sound of popping bullets into the flesh.
Blood flowers splashed from the subordinates who came to support.
Those who had heard the sound had broken into the rescue of the Tuscan patriarch and fell to the ground without saying a word.
No more heartbeats.
After a brief sound, the ground was littered with the corpses of Europeans.
Even the people who had not yet entered outside were shot on the spot by the bullets that flew upside down through the walls.
At this point, the Tuscan patriarch's subordinates were completely wiped out.
Not even a chance to escape.
But they were already lucky enough compared to the Tuscan patriarchs.
Because, at least, they don't have to endure painful torture.
"Ahhh......h Let me go...... My brother won't let you go......"
The terrible screams almost pierced the eardrums.
The Tuscan patriarch turned into a burning man, howling in the flames.
The howls grew weaker and weaker, and soon fell silent completely.
In the flash of fire, the Tuscan patriarch turned into a pile of ashes.
The smell of burnt smell is as strong as substance.
At this moment, Lin Yu shook his head with a smile: "It's a pity, God didn't bless you." ”
"Stupid guy who dared to show up here without even figuring out who the opponent was. ”
The cold voice sounded, and that smile disappeared from the corner of Lin Yu's mouth.
The cold light loomed in his eyes.
It's like a hungry shark that smells the sweet fragrance of blood.
The prelude to the killing slowly opened.
At this time, Zhang Guohao and Ah Hua stood in place.
The images seen on the video are far less intense than the impact of facing death.
A large living man was burned alive in front of them and reduced to ashes.
The miserable cry still echoed in my mind.
You know, it was the patriarch of the Tuscan family, the Pope's own brother.
Now this guy with a strong background is dying right in front of their eyes.
Danger, getting closer.
They know very well that they can't stay in Europe anymore.
No one can stay here unharmed by offending the Holy See.
Perhaps, we should evacuate immediately.
Thinking of this, the two glanced at each other.
This kind of fight between big people, if they want to survive, they have to hide far away.
"Mr. Lin, there was such a big commotion just now, I believe that the local security agency will send someone over soon, should we move immediately?"
Zhang Guohao lowered his voice and asked cautiously.
If he could, he would have taken someone back to China on a plane immediately.
"Don't panic, if they weren't stupid, they wouldn't have sent someone. ”
Lin Yu smiled and said calmly.
As he spoke, he slowly sat back down.
Outside the broken window, a cold wind blew.
The scorching smell in the living room quickly faded away.
At this time, Zhang Guohao had a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
His throat squirmed up and down, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Lin Yu, who was on the other side, didn't seem to notice anything at all.
Sitting leisurely on the sofa, his expression is still so calm.
After a long while, Zhang Guohao took a deep breath and said slowly: "Mr. Lin, don't you want to know why the Tuscan family wants to deal with me?"
Hearing this, Lin Yu smiled faintly: "If you want to say it, just say it, don't say it if you don't want to say it, I've never liked to peep into other people's secrets, and I respect everyone's privacy." ”
As he spoke, his expression did not change in the slightest.
It seems that he is not even too lazy to listen to a word.
In his eyes, the contradiction between Zhang Guohao and the Tuscan family is nothing at all.
The level of difference between them is too great.
The life-and-death matters between Zhang Guohao and the Tuscan family may not be insignificant at all when it comes to Lin Yu.
Therefore, he was not interested in Zhang Guohao's words at all.
If the other party is willing to talk, he will use it as a chat to relieve boredom.
If he didn't want to say it, he wasn't in the mood to ask.
The difference in strength determines the level of vision.
Lin Yu and Zhang Guohao can be said to be people from two worlds, and there will be no intersection except for this chance encounter.
At this moment, Lin Yu picked up the teapot and continued to brew.
The faint fragrance of tea washed away the bloodiness of the killing.
"Mr. Lin has a life-saving grace for me, such a great kindness, Zhang will be difficult to repay for the rest of his life, what can he not say. ”
Zhang Guohao arched his hand and said sincerely.
"Actually, my grudge with the Tuscan family is very simple to say, just because of a Yanhuang antique. ”
At this, he let out a long sigh.
"Zhang has been doing business in Europe for more than ten years, accumulating a little wealth, about seven months ago, a European friend of mine borrowed a sum of money in my company because of business turnover. ”
"At that time, the funds were mortgaged against a manor in his name, and if there was no way to repay the money within six months, the manor would be in my name. ”
"Half a year later, a month ago, my friend's business failed and the company went bankrupt, and I took over the estate in his name. ”
"Speaking of which, the manor house is really good, it is the inheritance of this friend's ancestors, and the manor house is almost all old buildings from two centuries ago, and the scenery is very beautiful. ”
"So after some field trips, I was going to transform the manor into a classical-style hotel for the Yanhuang compatriots who traveled to Europe. ”
At this time, Lin Yu's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Zhang Guohao's words seem to have nothing to do with the reason why he was hunted down.
And about business, he didn't even want to listen to a word.
With his current prestige and strength, he has long lost his concept of money.
It's just that he is not lacking in patience now, and he also knows that Zhang Guohao should not be a person who can't even speak, but he was not born to interrupt.
And Zhang Guohao didn't seem to notice this, and still said to himself: "When I was leading people to clean up the manor, I found a sandalwood box from an abandoned basement, opened it, and contained an ancient silk painting. ”
"On it, there is a particularly strange painting embroidered, and at that time, I knew at a glance that this must be an antique handed down by our Yanhuang ancestors, so I carefully put it away. ”
"I took a few photos, specifically to find an expert to preliminarily identify, according to the style of the embroidery on the silk painting, the expert determined that this silk painting should be from the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. ”
After confirming, I sent someone to inquire about the family history of this friend, and then I learned that his great-grandmother was the youngest daughter of Stein in England, and when she got married, she brought a dowry, part of which was antiques from the Mogao Grottoes. ”
At this point, Zhang Guohao looked up at Lin Yu.
Seeing the other party's face, he began to reveal a trace of curiosity.
So, he continued: "Stein's full name is Marc Orel Stein, originally from Hungary, a Jew, who became a British citizen in 1904. ”
"In 1907, I got the news that the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes found the Tibetan scripture cave, with a translator, immediately rushed to Dunhuang, took out 200 taels of silver, and guarded the Mogao Grottoes Zhang Daoist helped open the Tibetan scripture cave, and stole the treasure for seven nights in a row, and transported away 24 boxes of Dunhuang manuscript scriptures, nearly 10,000 volumes. 5 large boxes of silk paintings and silk fabrics, about 500 pieces. ”
Some of the treasures he stole remained in India, most of them were shipped back to England and left in the British Museum, and a very small part was kept in his private collection and passed on to his direct children. ”
"And this silk painting I found was one of the silk paintings that Stein stole from the Mogao Grottoes in the last century, and his daughter took it out as a dowry when she got married. ”
"My friend's house was in the middle of the road, and the silk paintings had been kept in the basement storage room, piled up with the useless debris, so they were not found and preserved. ”
Speaking of this in one breath, Zhang Guohao shook his head gently.
"As a Yanhuang person, Zhang will naturally collect the antiques that have been left behind in his country when they come to me. ”
"Then it wasn't long before the news that I had obtained the silk painting documents from the basement of the manor accidentally spread, and a few days later, that friend called me personally and asked me to return the silk painting papers, because the manor was originally his. ”
"But because the silk painting book is an antique that I have left behind, I naturally don't want it to continue to wander outside, after receiving the call, on the one hand, I don't want to hand over the silk painting, and on the other hand, I don't want to damage my reputation, so I negotiated a price with that friend and gave him a sum of money, which is considered to be the purchase of this silk painting. ”
"Originally, I thought that this matter would end here, and I was about to find a relationship channel to transport the silk painting documents back to Yanhuang through my means, but I didn't expect that things would become troublesome at this moment. ”
