Chapter 144.144:

The odds have increased by two points.

Even so, it is not completely certain that Chen Sanchuan left the treasures left by Ma Tianlong, the reason is that many of the things in this batch of treasures were given away by Chen Sanchuan, and I don't know if there is the only jade paperweight that can determine the truth in the gifts he gave away.

Chen Ning has a field Huangshi paperweight, and Chen Sanchuan has his own jasper paperweight, but there is no jade paperweight.

However, the Chen family has successively sent things to Chen Lao, Chen Chi, the deputy mayor and others, and it is possible to give them to others, or sell them on the black market.

Qi Shufang was very angry when she just learned that Chen Sanchuan had deceived her and that he had many suspicions, because Chen Sanchuan had told her Ma Tianlong's last words, and half of them were given to herself. Whether it is deserved is another matter, when I first learned of Ma Tianlong's death, I first thought of the three things in my hand, and I had planned to hand them over to his descendants, but later gave up because of Ma Tianlong's last words, after all, I was not so noble, and I gave things out with my last words. A few days later, I calmed down now, my mind was clear, and I felt that the most important thing was to investigate the truth, and only when I had the evidence could I express my contempt for Chen Sanchuan with confidence.

Her main task now is to confirm the authenticity of Ma Tianlong's last words in Chen Sanchuan's mouth, confirm the origin of the treasures in Chen Sanchuan's hands, and decide what she will do next with the final result.

Ma Tianlong's last words are true, and the treasure must be returned.

Half of them belong to the Ma family, and no one has the right to deal with it, as for how to deal with her own half, it is a matter after she gets something, except for the jade lion head paperweight, which must be left for seven catties, and she has not decided for the time being.

A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.

Professor Jin often said this sentence, and Qi Shufang herself agreed.

She likes the good life that money brings, but she doesn't like to get it by mean means, and she prefers the way you come and go without owing each other. Before calmly accepting Ma Tianlong's gift, it was because Ma Tianlong had always been taken care of by himself, it was a transaction, and no one owed anyone, and he accepted the nine-eyed dzi because of Ma Tianlong's good wishes for seven catties.

The treasure in Ma Tianlong's last words is to be received or not, there was no exact address before, thinking that it would be a pity if he couldn't get it, but now he found that it was not the case, Qi Shufang was in the stage of the war between heaven and man.

To be honest, in the face of such a big temptation, it is impossible not to be tempted at all, she does not have so much perseverance.

If Ma Tianlong's last words are true, she will feel ashamed, really, Ma Tianlong is dead, and she can no longer repay him, what is a coffin? That is, Ma Tianlong did not say that he would send treasures to himself, and in the case that Ma Hu did not come to collect the body, she also planned to prepare a coffin for him after 80 years and bury him separately.

If Ma Tianlong's last words are false and the treasures are true, then except for Ma Tianlong who told Professor Jin to send seven catties of jade lion head paperweights, everything else should be handled by Ma Hu, who already knows that Ma Tianlong left treasures, including the three treasures taken out together with the nine-eyed dzi, because half of the treasures and the three treasures were all said by Chen Sanchuan.

Unless Ma Tianlong's last words said that he would give the treasures he had hidden to Chen Sanchuan instead of himself.

However, if Ma Tianlong decided to give the inheritance to Chen Sanchuan, Chen Sanchuan would not need to tell himself that Ma Tianlong would leave half of the treasure to himself and let him get him a good coffin.

Therefore, Qi Shufang tends that her last words are true, and the address of the treasure is open to discussion before it is finished.

Although Professor Jin said that Ma Tianlong usually has complaints about his wife and children, but when a person is about to die, his words are also good, and when he dies, he will be a hundred, and it is not impossible to remember his children and grandchildren who have complained for many years before he dies, after all, it is his own blood. Ma Tianlong secretly stuffed gold jewelry into the suitcases of Ma Hu and Ma Lian brothers, doesn't this illustrate this?

If Ma Tianlong's inheritance is not given to him, to be honest, he doesn't need to investigate, but the problem now is that Ma Hu knows that Ma Tianlong has hidden a lot of property.

He and his younger brother Ma Lian immigrated to Hong Kong after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, and if Ma Tianlong's hidden things were something he had seen, and he would see it in the market in the future, he might think that he had inherited Ma Tianlong's legacy, even if those things were not necessarily among the treasures hidden.

At present, what has crossed the bright road in front of Ma Hu is the gold bar jade diamond, the latter has been given to Xue Feng, the gold bar has nominally been exchanged for money to supply the clothes and bedding of Ma Tianlong and others, and the jade will not arouse suspicion after being made into jewelry, and several things including the nine-eyed dzi are clear to Ma Hu, and there is nothing else.

Ma Hu must have been scheming to establish himself in Hong Kong so quickly and become a successful local businessman.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, he immediately decided to immigrate to Hong Kong with his younger brother and his family, on the grounds that he could not distinguish who won and who lost, and was worried that he would be liquidated after the situation stabilized, which can be seen that he was more far-sighted than Ma Tianlong.

Troublesome!

What a hassle!

Qi Shufang couldn't help but scratch her head, thinking that she could enjoy family fun at home and her family during the winter vacation, and catch up with friends, but she was tired of running around for this matter that could not determine the truth.

"Isn't Professor Chen afraid of being discovered by us if he does this?" Qi Shufang asked Professor Jin, feeling very confused.

He Jianguo went to work, and there were only her, Professor Jin, and four children at home.

If she is Chen Sanchuan and steals a treasure that does not belong to her, then she will not be so ostentatious, she will be very cautious to transfer the treasure to another place that only she knows, and wait until ten or eight years later, after the rumor has passed, and then take it out and collect it in a different way or sell it, and put a perfect source on the thing in her hand.

What did Chen Sanchuan do? Is there something wrong with using treasures to bring back his children who had long since been cut off from his righteousness to reunite with him, to make no secret of his behavior of getting rich at home, and to give treasures to Chen Lao, Chen Chi, Vice Mayor and others one after another?

Professor Jin couldn't help but nod: "It's incomprehensible, it's incomprehensible." If it were him, he would follow what Qi Shufang said, instead of being swaggering like Chen Sanchuan.

Granny Jin said casually: "If Chen Yu hadn't revealed his tone in front of Li Wei because he was drunk, and if Chen Ning hadn't said it, who of us would have known that Lao Chen had sent so many things to people? Usually people who receive things won't reveal it, right? Showing off their family's money, etc., is mainly what Lao Chen's family said? Is it Lao Chen's original intention, we don't know." Besides, when you get older, you will inevitably be confused, and it is not impossible to be carried away by treasures. Doesn't many poor people like to show off when they get rich? In order to make others envy them, Lao Chen sent so many things to Chen Lao It is a bit of this kind of meaning. ”

Chen's family has no wealth, and Chen Sanchuan is rich, obviously the big house and three rooms are reversed.

It can't be said absolutely, but it is true that many people in life have vanity.

After Chen Lao got it, he didn't leave it for himself to enjoy, he didn't mean to cherish it, but gave it to Chen Ning casually, and Chen Ning didn't keep it as a treasure.

Some things need to be calculated by common sense, just like the matter of Lao Chen Chafu, and some things like the above cannot be judged by common sense.

"Teacher, master, how should I find out next?" Qi Shufang was very annoyed, could she just ask Chen Sanchuan? A fool wouldn't answer, right? If Chen Sanchuan really did such a thing, he would definitely not admit it, and it was difficult to tell whether his words were true or false.

Granny Jin thought for a moment and said, "First check if there are any things in his hand that Lao Ma once mentioned to your teacher." ”

"Professor Chen's secrets are not revealed, and it is difficult to investigate. "She has checked it with the convenience of her mental power, and there are not a few things that Professor Zài Jin said at all," Chen Ning's teacher didn't mention any of those things. ”

Professor Jin asked what was there, and when Qi Shufang went to Chen Ning's house, he had already set off for Shanghai.

Qi Shufang replied: "Tian Huangshi paperweight, immortal phoenix jade ornaments and Chengni inkstone. ”

Haven't heard of it!

Professor Jin racked his brains to recall the content of chatting with Ma Tianlong in those years, and only remembered that Ma Tianlong boasted to himself that he had collected many inkstone town ruler calligraphy and paintings used by famous emperors in previous dynasties, but he didn't say whether it was in this batch of treasures, and the only thing that could be sure of it was the jade lion head paperweight. In addition, Ma Tianlong himself said that most of the things he hides are gold, diamonds, jewelry, and jade, which are convenient to hide and easy to sell, and he doesn't have to worry about damage for a long time.

Professor Jin and Granny Jin didn't know that Qi Shufang's mental power was cheating, and they decided that no matter how difficult it was, they must find out if there was a jade lion head paperweight in Chen Sanchuan's hand and the things he gave out, or something that Ma Tianlong occasionally mentioned in front of Professor Jin, only in this way, the remaining uncertainty would become certain.

That's a big job!

The things in Chen Ning's hand have been found to be the ones that belong to the Qing Dynasty court, and then Chen Chi and the deputy mayor are next.

Qi Shufang found a reason to send a telegram to ask Mu Xuexun, and learned that Chen Sanchuan asked Chen Ning to send a pair of Hetian white jade carved beast paperweights to Chen Chi for the Qing Dynasty court, and also sent a pair of jade bracelets, two rubellites and a fire oil diamond to Mu Xuexun.

The trail was interrupted.

Just when Qi Shufang was worried, Chen Sanchuan and Chen Yu broke out into a fierce quarrel, because Chen Yu privately gave the big yellow croaker to the deputy mayor without Chen Sanchuan's permission.

"Didn't you say that the family has no money to spend? I gave you gold bars in exchange for money for living expenses, why did you give them away?"

Chen Yu disagreed: "What's all the fuss? A finger-long big yellow croaker is more convenient to give a gift, and it is not easy to be discovered." Besides, Dad, you don't have it in your hand, what's wrong with me giving away a big yellow croaker? There is no money to spend at home, so if you exchange the big yellow croaker for money, it will be solved. If I don't give this gift, do you think I can go to work in the municipal party committee office so easily? When I get mixed up, I can get more big yellow croaker, so don't be reluctant. ”

Vice Mayor Cao Jinhu is his classmate, he has been greedy since he was a child, often greedy for small gains, Chen Yu has always been very clear, the other party has not treated himself badly because the state cadres must lead by example with two sleeves of clean air, often accept bribes in private, do things for others, the country's crackdown was lucky for him to escape, so far at large.

Chen Yu went to ask Cao Jinhu to resume his work, and when he saw Cao Jinhu rubbing his fingers, he understood what Cao Jinhu meant, so he asked his father for a gift of big yellow croaker under the pretense that his living expenses were not enough.

A big yellow croaker, at least 2,000 yuan, is equivalent to Cao Jinhu's salary for almost a year.

Cao Jinhu really happily tried to find a way to resume his work, and transferred himself to the office of the municipal party committee to train him as a confidant, and in time he would definitely be able to reach Cao Jinhu's status.

"How can you do such a thing? I thought you were doing your job on your own. ”

Chen Sanchuan was furious when he heard this, but when he saw his son's weather-beaten face and his own age, the reproach in his stomach couldn't help but come to naught, and he said bitterly: "Ah Yu, how many times have I told you, we scholars must have our own backbone, and we can't go along with others, how can you think about the benefits of corruption and bribery in the future when you have just resumed work?" In addition, the things that our family hid before must not be publicized, cannot be publicized, and cannot be let people know, why are you doing this? Less than three years after the end of the catastrophe, we just need to know what our family has in our hearts. ”

"Dad, think about yourself when you say this! Didn't you give the lobby a few things, and also asked Chen Ning to give his cousin a few? I learned them all from you. Chen Yu looked at the big case, and wanted to point to the jasper utensils on the case and say that his father was not as flamboyant, how did he know that there was nothing else on the case except for books and the four treasures of the study, and there was not a single jasper utensil.

Chen Yu was taken aback, "Dad, what about your jasper device?" He liked this set of equipment very much, and asked his father for it several times, but his father didn't give it to him, only gave him a pair of jade lion head paperweights, and he couldn't sell them at all.

"I put it away. ”

"Why are you putting it away?Isn't it nice to put it on the table?" Chen Yu asked strangely, he went to Chen Ning's house in the morning, and saw the things his father gave him in the study.

Chen Sanchuan frowned and said, "It's too ostentatious, it's better to keep a low profile." ”

He was carried away by the sudden joy at first, but now that he calmed down, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, what if he went on like this, what if he attracted the suspicion of someone who cares?

The book reads: "It's not too late to make amends." ”

Chen Sanchuan called his grandchildren, daughters-in-law and others with lightning speed, and if anyone mentioned something that his family had hidden by luck before raiding the house, he must keep his mouth shut and not show off casually, so as not to be widely known and powerful people come to blackmail.

The whole Chen family was worried about the things in Chen Sanchuan's hand, although they felt that it was a bit of a brocade night walk if they didn't let people know, but they still nodded obediently, and promised Chen Sanchuan that they would not mention the fact that their family was rich again, as for the things that had been shown off to others, they didn't pay attention to them, and if someone asked them, they just had spent it.
