Chapter 100: The Ancient Capital of the Eight Dynasties
Qin Fan didn't know that because of this traffic hit-and-run case, a huge corruption case that shocked Luzhou was triggered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the arrest of Director Fu, the province quickly set up a special task force to investigate. After overnight investigation and interrogation, Director Fu finally couldn't support it, and confessed that he was corrupt and accepted huge bribes from the Wu Group, exculpating Wu Yaozu.
What shocked the task force was that Director Fu had actually accepted tens of millions of yuan in bribes from Wu Chuan in the past few years, and not only that, Wu Chuan knew that Director Fu was fond of antiques, and he also sent a lot of priceless antiques over.
The antiques that Wu Chuan gave to Director Fu alone were estimated at more than 10 million.
As soon as this case came out, the entire political circles in Luzhou were shaken, and no one thought that a small director of the sub-bureau would actually embezzle tens of millions of yuan, which was simply shocking.
Under the deep digging of the task force, a deputy mayor standing behind Director Fu was also pulled down, and finally more than a dozen officials who cleared Wu Yaozu's name with no conscience were sentenced, and Director Fu was sentenced to life for accepting huge bribes, and it is estimated that he will retire in prison for the rest of his life.
And Wu Yaozu, the protagonist of this case, in addition to the traffic accident case, was also exposed to deliberately hurting people, dangerous driving and insulting women, and was sentenced to 30 years in prison under the combined punishment of several crimes.
By the time he is released from prison, he will probably be over half a hundred years old, and Qin Fan does not need to be afraid of his revenge.
As for Qin Fan, the initiator, he was sitting in Hu Debiao's Mercedes-Benz car at this time, starting from Luzhou all the way north, leaving Hui Province and heading towards Kaifeng, the ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties.
"Brother Qin Fan, haven't you always wanted to buy a piece of rosewood furniture, you may be able to find it in that place, and the price will definitely not let you suffer." Hu Debiao patted his belly and said with a determined face.
"Mr. Hu, is the private auction you said reliable, I don't think the auction items on this list are anything special."
Qin Fan was holding a printed auction leaflet in his hand, on which more than a dozen auction items were listed. However, judging from the types of auction items, they are just ordinary antiques, and there are no particularly precious objects.
"Brother, you don't understand. At a private auction like this, some good stuff is not written down and you can't see it until you get there. ”
"Oh? Here's why. ”
Generally speaking, before the auction starts, the auction company will try its best to carry out publicity and hype, printing the most precious auction items on the leaflets, so as to attract the attention of some wealthy people.
He had never seen such a low-key auction, so I guess there must be something wrong with it.
"Hehe, of course, it's because those auction items are coming from the wrong way, and I'm afraid of causing trouble." Hu Debiao said mysteriously.
Qin Fan's eyelids jumped, and he pointed to his feet and asked, "You mean those auction items were shoveled out from below?" ”
Naturally, he was referring to the burial goods that Captain Touchgold had shoveled out of the catacombs.
"Not exactly, just a small part. If you don't want to get caught in this bad luck, let's go and take a look at other auction items, and there shouldn't be any trouble. ”
Qin Fan nodded, with his understanding, even if he accidentally bought some improper stolen goods at a private auction, it was not enough to break the law, and in the end, the stolen goods were recovered.
At this time, Qin Fan glanced at Wang Mengqi, who was sitting beside him, tilting his head to look at the scenery outside the car, and his head was suddenly as big as a fight. This aunt didn't know which tendon was wrong, so she had to join in the fun and follow Qin Fan over to participate in this private auction.
Now Qin Fan only hopes that this aunt and grandmother will not make any moths and let people be driven out.
As if noticing Qin Fan's gaze, Wang Mengqi glanced at Qin Fan with a cold face, as if he was still angry with him.
There were a total of four people in the Mercedes-Benz sedan, and the driver was Hu Debiao's bodyguard and driver Li Yong.
This Li Yong is like a stuffy gourd, driving for a few hours, and he won't say more than three sentences. However, according to Hu Debiao, this Li Yong is a retired soldier who came down from the battlefield, and he has human lives on his hands, and his strength is extremely strong.
Hu Debiao's real estate business is very big, and the people in Luzhou know that he burns a lot of money. As a result, some ghosts and ghosts set their sights on him, wanting to squeeze some oil and water out of him.
If it weren't for Li Yong, Hu Debiao's 100 catties of fat would have been tossed long ago.
"But brother, I have to remind you that the owner of this private auction is not a good person who abides by the law, and we better get into less trouble on other people's turf."
Hu Debiao is a figure in Luzhou, but if he wants to leave Luzhou, no one will buy his account.
However, he knew that Qin Fan's personality had always been calm and calm, and he shouldn't cause any big trouble. As for the aunt of the Wang family, even if she causes great trouble, with the status and strength of the Wang family in the republic, no one dares to do anything to her.
Driving from Luzhou to Kaifeng, the whole journey is 588.9 kilometers, and it takes five or six hours to drive on the road.
Qin Fan and the others set off at dawn in the morning, and it was already close to noon when they arrived in Kaifeng.
Kaifeng was called Bianjing and Bianliang in ancient times, it is one of the eight ancient capitals of China, and has the reputation of "Qishu Mingxia Wufeng Tower, Yimen since ancient times" in history, and has a history of more than 2,700 years so far.
One of the top ten famous paintings, Zhang Zerui's "Qingming Riverside Picture" of the Northern Song Dynasty depicts the prosperity of Bianjing during the Northern Song Dynasty.
Hu Debiao should often come to Kaifeng to talk about business, and he is familiar with this place, so he took Qin Fan and Wang Mengqi to a well-known restaurant in Kaifeng that specializes in eating Kaifeng dishes, and opened a good meat.
Kaifeng cuisine is the representative of Yu cuisine, divided into palace cuisine, official cuisine, temple cuisine and market cuisine, characterized by the harmony of five flavors, moderate quality and taste, wide selection of materials, pay attention to knife work, have dozens of cooking techniques, among which grilled dishes are the most distinctive. It has formed a unique Bianliang flavor.
The restaurant where Hu Debiao often goes to eat Kaifeng cuisine has excellent business, and there is already a long queue outside at noon.
Fortunately, Hu Debiao had already called to book a private room before coming, but he was not afraid of being hungry.
"A plate of carp baked noodles, four treasures, clear soup Dongpo meat, steamed lion's head, grilled belly, fried herring head and tail, and a dozen beers."
Hu Debiao didn't look at the menu either, and Balabala reported a bunch of dish names, all of which were the signature dishes of this restaurant.
"Brother Qin Fan, let's go to the auction later, don't drink this liquor, let's drink some beer to quench our thirst." There are many fakes in private auctions like this, and Hu Debiao doesn't want people to be slaughtered as fat sheep.
Er Qin Fan didn't have any interest in drinking, so he naturally had no opinion.
It didn't take long for plates of fragrant dishes to come up, and a table full of them was set up, and the smell of the aroma made people's fingers flutter.
"Hey, this dish is quite fresh, what's the name?"
In front of Wang Mengqi, there is a blue and white porcelain soup pot, which contains a duck with bright color and mellow fragrance. Miraculously, when the duck on the outside was finished, a delicious whole chicken appeared inside.
"This dish is called the set of four treasures, it is a traditional delicacy in Kaifeng cuisine, and it is known as a must in Yu cuisine." Qin Fan had eaten this set of four treasures before, and patiently explained to Wang Mengqi, "This set of four treasures is absolutely unique in the combination of chicken, duck, pigeon, and quail's four flavors: strong, fragrant, fresh, and wild." ”
This dish is characterized by the fact that the four birds are layered together, and the whole body is complete, but there is not a single bone.
The set of four treasures belongs to the official cuisine, which is finely made and very particular about the color and fragrance. The most complicated part of making this dish is to remove the bones, opening the four birds in the neck, and removing the bones one by one, leaving the prototype unchanged. Then the boneless four birds are set together layer by layer, accompanied by fine ingredients such as diced sea cucumbers, shredded shiitake mushrooms, and magnolia slices.
This dish was created in the hands of Chen Yongxiang, a famous chef in Kaifeng at the end of the Qing Dynasty, with a mellow and fragrant taste, fat but not greasy, refreshing and delicious, and the taste is extremely delicious.
At present, Wang Mengqi doesn't care about the image of a lady, and she is holding the delicacies on the table with chopsticks, and she is very happy to eat.
Qin Fan and Wang Mengqi, who had eaten this meal, were extremely satisfied, and after they were full of wine and food, under the guidance of Hu Debiao, the four of them drove to a mountain villa on the outskirts of KF City.
This European-style luxury mountain resort is the venue for this private trade fair.
