Funakoshi and the others did not stay in the house for a long time, and after explaining to the people who stayed behind, Funakoshi took a few bodyguards, as well as Kobayashi-kun, Cowell, Cui Hong and others to leave the private house area in three cars and go straight to the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhao Yue drove the car and followed from a distance, and the three cars did not separate at first after entering the city, until they arrived at a five-star hotel, Funakoshi, Kobayashi-kun, and Cowell entered the hotel with bodyguards, while Cui Hong left alone.
Zhao Yue parked the car not far from the hotel, saw Cui Hong walking out of the hotel alone, touched his chin and thought about it, did he enter the hotel and follow Funakoshi and the others? Or follow Cui Hong? This Cui Hong is an expert in cultural relics identification, he doesn't know the news about the treasure, although he doesn't know why he eavesdropped on the conversation of Funayue and others, in Zhao Yue's mind, this should be Cui Hong's curiosity, the reason why Zhao Yue wants to turn off the power so that Cui Hong can get out calmly is that he doesn't want to have any unnecessary accidents that make Funayue and others wary.
After parking the car, Zhao Yue ignored Cui Hong, but went into the hotel and followed Funayue and the others.
Seeing that Funayue and the others had entered room 1008, Zhao Yue did not follow him again, because there were two bodyguards standing at the door. He thought about it, turned around and entered the elevator, and just walked to the lobby to open a room at the front desk for easy monitoring! But then his phone rang, and when he took out the phone, he saw that it was his wife Anne calling, and after connecting, he said, "What's wrong?" ”
Anne said, "What did you do?" See what time it is? Why haven't you come back yet? ”
Zhao Yue thought about it and felt that Chuanyue and the others couldn't play any tricks at night, and now they didn't have any news about the treasure, so they could only rely on getting clues from Liu San, and Liu San was not so easy to speak, and immediately said into the phone: "I'll be back soon!" ”
After Zhao Yue hung up the phone, he came out of the hotel, got in the car and drove the car directly into an uninhabited alley, turned on the stealth function, turned on the flight mode, and returned directly to the coast.
After he left, after Cui Hong got off a bus, he walked to a place where no one was around, took out the phone and dialed a number, and after the phone was connected, a middle-aged man's voice came from inside: "Professor Cui, you haven't contacted me for a long time, why did you call me today?" Do you have something good in your hands again? ”
Cui Hong smiled: "There are no good things, but I have news of good things, and there is more than one good thing, how about it?" Interested? ”
There was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone, and then he said, "In half an hour, you come to me!" ”
"Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, Cui Hong walked to the side of the road and hailed a taxi, and after getting into the car, he told the driver his destination.
Half an hour later, the taxi stopped at the door of a luxury villa, Cui Hong paid the fare and walked to the door, there were two bodyguards standing guard at the door, one of them stepped forward and stretched out his hand to stop: "Sir, this is a private villa, please refuse to enter without invitation!" Please come back! ”
Cui Hong hurriedly said: "My name is Cui Hong, and I have already made an appointment with Mr. Tan!" He told me to come to him! ”
The bodyguard looked at Cui Hong suspiciously and said, "Wait a minute! As he spoke, he turned around and walked to the door, picked up the phone and called, and told him about the situation, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand!" Putting down the phone, the bodyguard said, "Mr. Cui, the boss invites you in, please come with me!" ”
Another bodyguard opened the small door, and the two entered the villa one after another. Cui Hong has been here twice, but each time he came in a hurry, and left in a hurry, he didn't observe this villa carefully at all, and when he came the first two times, this villa gave him a very mysterious feeling, and he always felt that there was an eye staring at him somewhere, which made his back stand up cold hairs.
After entering the villa's house, the bodyguard who led the way returned, and the bodyguard at the door of the house invited Cui Hong to sit down, and let someone serve a cup of tea, and said, "Mr. Cui, please wait a moment, I'll go ask the boss!" ”
Cui Hong stood up and said, "Okay! ”
After the bodyguard left, Cui Hong originally wanted to take a good look at the layout of the house, but he felt that this was inappropriate, and it was not good to cause the owner's dissatisfaction.
After about five minutes, a man in his fifties wearing a well-dressed white tunic walked out of the study on the second floor, this man had a small flat head, a plump face, a tall and thin figure, wore a pair of glasses, and wore a pair of white leather shoes under his feet, and walked very steadily.
As soon as he was halfway through, the man laughed and said, "Mr. Cui is here to make the humble house shine!" ”
Cui Hong hurriedly put down the teacup and stood up, faced the man and said with a smile: "It's in a hurry, it's really bothering Mr. Tan!" ”
Mr. Tan pressed his hand and said in a loud voice: "Sit and sit, Mr. Cui don't be restrained, just treat this as your own home!" ”
Cui Hong slandered in his heart: Say it lightly! I'm afraid that there are a dozen guns pointed at me here, as long as I make the slightest movement, I will be beaten into a sieve, I don't want to be mistaken for a bad move, it's better to be cautious! But he said, "Okay, okay! With that, he sat down honestly.
Mr. Tan walked to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of red wine, poured two glasses, and walked over and handed a glass to Cui Hong, Cui Hong quickly stood up and took it, thanked him, and the two clinked glasses and took a sip.
After putting down the wine glass, Mr. Tan asked, "Where did Cui Jiaojiao make a fortune recently?" ”
Cui Hong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's not the same as before!" Recently, I followed a group of people and said that I was eating together! ”
Mr. Tan was surprised: "As Professor Cui, do you need to serve those gangsters?" ”
"Alas! I can't help it! My little savings are set on antiques, although there are a lot of things at home, but they are not very valuable, but I am reluctant to sell, and a large number of people in the family want to open their mouths to eat, and they can only earn some extra money! ”
Mr. Tan knew that this old guy was an antique fan, and he was very obsessed with antiques, and as long as something came to him, he wanted him to sell it, which was more uncomfortable than killing him. smiled and said, "Mr. Cui, if you don't dislike me for having a small temple here, how about you do with me?" I'll give you this number every month! He stretched out a slap and gestured, and then said: "In addition, if you can only help me find good things, I will give you a commission of three percent according to the market price of each item, what do you think?" ”
This commission is really high, 10 million objects, he can get 300,000 yuan, Cui Hong opened his eyes and asked, "Is Mr. Tan's words true?" ”
Hearing Cui Hong ask this, Mr. Tan's face was a little unpleasant, "Although I am not as golden-mouthed as the emperor, but speaking is absolutely counting, who knows me who doesn't know?" ”
Cui Hong was overjoyed, stood up and bowed to Mr. Tan, and said, "Then I will thank Mr. Tan, it's decided!" I will follow Mr. Tan to eat in the future, you can rest assured, with my Cui Hong's research on antiques, I will definitely not disappoint you! ”
Mr. Tan believes in this very much, although Cui Hong is not famous, his research on antiques is rarely compared, and the things he sees are very accurate.
Cui Hong turned his head and said: "But I can't come over this time, I have a big gift to give to Mr. Tan!" ”
"A big gift?" Mr. Tan felt a little funny, what kind of gift can this old man Cui have? The most valuable antiques at home are only 100,000 yuan, but I still asked: "What kind of gift?" ”
Cui Hong took a sip of the wine glass, moistened his throat, put down the wine glass and was about to speak, but suddenly stopped, looked left and right, Mr. Tan smiled when he saw this: "Mr. Cui, it's okay, just say it here!" ”
Cui Hong was helpless, so he leaned forward and whispered: "Those who said that I came here for a treasure!" In the end, the word "treasure" was extremely low.
Although the voice was small, Mr. Tan still heard it clearly, and his originally indifferent and unwavering face changed, and he waved his hand and said to the bodyguards around: "You all go down!" ”
Although his bodyguards have been following him for many years, it's better not to let them know just to be on the safe side! After the bodyguards all went down, Mr. Tan could no longer maintain his previous state, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Cui, please speak!" ”
Cui Hong was very satisfied with Mr. Tan's reaction, and no one was indifferent in front of a huge treasure! Unless he is not a person who lives in the secular world, "The specific situation is not very clear, I only know that they came here this time for a very large treasure, I overheard that it seems to be left by the remnants of the Boxer Rebellion back then, do you know the person 'Lin Heier'?" ”
"Lin Hei'er? Are you talking about Lin Hei'er, who was known as the 'Yellow Lotus Mother' in the Boxer Rebellion? Mr. Tan asked in surprise.
Cui Hong nodded and said, "That's right, it's her!" According to historical records, she was the organizer of 'Red Lantern'. Calling herself "Our Lady of the Yellow Lotus". Born in a boat family on the Jinjing Canal, he said that he was a prostitute in Tianjin. When he was young, he learned boxing and batting, and he once worked as an artist in coastal and other places with his father. At that time, when imperialism was rampant in China, her husband Li You was arrested and severely beaten for violating foreign religions, and later fell ill and died. In 1900, the Boxer Rebellion developed to the Jinjing area, and Zhang Decheng, one of the leaders of the Boxer Rebellion, known as the "first regiment in the world", went north from Jinghai to Jinjing to set up a general altar. He led about 2,000 or 3,000 young women to organize the "Red Lantern Illumination" and became their own "senior sisters" to crack down on foreigners in China. In June and July, the Eight-Nation Coalition Army entered Jinjing, and she led the crowd to fight with Zhang Decheng and others. Dragon. Head Station & Purple. Bamboo. Lin and other places attacked the invaders. Later, due to the compromise and surrender of the Qing political axe to imperialism, he took the opportunity to flank the Boxers, causing heavy casualties to the rebels and Zhang Decheng being wounded. After the fall of Tianjin, she was also wounded and captured.
After she was captured, she disappeared, and no one knew whether she was dead or alive, and it was rumored that she had bribed the jailer to have another woman take her place on the execution ground! ”
