When chatting with Bai Ming, he mentioned that the Ji family's house is a century-old mansion. It is said that it was only a lonely building when it was built, but as the family grew and continued to build, it formed a large manor, and now there are one or two hundred people living here for a long time.

The people of the Ji family had obviously been instructed, and when the car arrived outside the courtyard, a young man greeted them, guided the two to drive the car to the parking lot on the side, and then led them into the courtyard.

Walking on the bluestone road, Zhao Zhuo also secretly praised this ancient house, and planted a large number of trees next to the road, some of which are as thick as buckets, and I am afraid that they are also ten years old.

Although Han Duoer's world is wide, she has never been to such an old mansion, and she only feels that the scenery is picturesque, and it seems to be a paradise.

Soon after, the two came to a courtyard, and the young man who led the way knocked on the door, and then a young man of 22 or 3 years old came out.

This young man was wearing a white casual suit, with a good appearance, a smile between his eyebrows, and his facial features seemed to be drawn by a line, which looked very sven.

As soon as he came out, he was slightly stunned when he saw Han Duo, and seemed to be a little amazed by her beauty.

However, he quickly calmed down, walked straight to Zhao Zhuo, held his hand cordially, shook it a few times, and said, "Brother Zhao, I'm Ji Xiaofan." Grandpa told me about you as soon as he came back, I couldn't wait to see you, I wanted to call you tonight, and I felt too anxious, I didn't expect you to come. ”

"Hello Brother Ji." Zhao Zhuo smiled, Ji Xiaofan was really the same as what Old Man Ji Yuan said, very enthusiastic.

Ji Xiaofan said: "I'm one year younger than you, I'll call you Brother Zhao in the future, come, please come to my house with you, grandpa is in a hurry." ”

Walking into the house, Zhao Zhuo found that the house was still relatively modern, and it was a little different from the ancient charm it looked outside, but it was this fusion that gave birth to a sense of beauty.

Coming to the living room, there were two people sitting on the sofa, in addition to Ji Yuan, there was also a middle-aged man in his forties, this man had a very middle-aged taste in appearance, wearing a pair of eyes, looking very elegant, almost a comparison, you can conclude that he is Ji Yuan's son.

As soon as he saw Ji Yuan and the others, Zhao Zhuo said hello, and Han Duoer also called Grandpa Ji, Uncle Ji.

Ji Yuan looked at Zhao Zhuo, and then at Han Duo'er beside him, and couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Zhao, I didn't expect you to have a great eye for antiques, and this girl's eye is also excellent, I have never seen such a beautiful and well-behaved girl." ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled when he heard this, this beautiful Han Duoer is well deserved, as for this well-behaved, don't be confused by her appearance, this girl is a full tigress.

However, today's Han Duoer seems to be different from the past, and she is really a little well-behaved, could it be that after experiencing things today, she has become gentle?

Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, if he could train Han Yatou to be obedient, then he would be really a little proud.

Thinking about it, he sat down, only to hear Ji Yuan say to his son: "Ji Yuan, you have to educate Xiaofan well, when will you bring a beautiful girlfriend back, I am still waiting to hold my great-grandson." ”

Ji Xiaofan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Grandpa, it's still early for me to get married at this age, I think you have to wait a few more years." ”

Ji Yuan scolded with a smile: "You kid don't play sloppy with me, you think I don't know, it's not that you don't want to get it back, it's that your kid's vision is too high." After speaking, he smiled at Han Duo'er, "By the way, what's your name, little girl?" ”

"My name is Han Duoer." Han Duoer replied.

Ji Yuan bowed his head slightly and said: "Duo'er, well, it's good, it's good-looking, it's good-looking, it's good-looking, it's good-behaved, it's really rare." I said Duo'er, do you have any relatives and sisters, and if so, how about introducing them to my Xiaofan? ”

Hearing that Ji Yuan actually went on a blind date for his grandson, Han Duoer couldn't help laughing and said, "Grandpa Ji, I am the only daughter in the family. ”

Ji Yuan felt a little sorry when he heard this, and said to Ji Xiaofan: "I said Xiaofan, you will be close to your brother Zhao in the future, don't always soak in antiques, the knowledge of this antique must be learned, you must be proficient, and this life event cannot be put aside, Xiao Zhuo, you have to help my Xiaofan find a good look." ”

Ji Xiaofan shrugged helplessly when he heard this, and smiled bitterly at Zhao Zhuo, Zhao Zhuo also smiled bitterly, this sounded, as if he had a good hand at picking up girls, so he said: "Grandpa Ji, this emotional matter still depends on an eye." ”

Ji Yuan couldn't help nodding: "Yes, yes, this matter is really in a hurry, rely on your eyes." ”

Ji Xiaofan couldn't help but say: "Grandpa, you are really partial, this should seem to outsiders, Brother Zhao seems to be your own grandson, and I am an outsider." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Ji Yuan introduced to Zhao Zhuo: "This is my second son, Ji Yuan, who is a teacher at Baicheng University. After speaking, he said, "I was expecting that you might have to come over in the next few days, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, you see, I didn't prepare for it." ”

Zhao Zhuo paused slightly, and then said, "Grandpa Ji, I came over so quickly this time, in fact, something happened just now. ”

"Oh, what's the matter, let's hear it, see if I can help." Ji Yuan said very enthusiastically.

Zhao Zhuo said: "Here's the thing, last month, I came to Baicheng and gambled on a piece of ice jade worth more than three million yuan in the gambling stone field. ”

"What, Ice Seed Emerald?" Ji Xiaofan was taken aback, and immediately said in amazement, "Brother Zhao, you are too powerful, it is difficult to produce this kind of high-grade jade in the gambling stone field." ”

Ji Yuan also nodded, and Ji Yuan praised: "I didn't expect Xiao Zhuo that in addition to having eyesight for Gu Yu, this gambling jade actually has such a high eyesight, but I'm afraid what you want to say is not over, right?" ”

Zhao Zhuo will meet Bai Ming, what happened to Bai Ming, and then tell all the things about the theft of the jade jade carving now.

As soon as he heard this, Ji Xiaofan snorted heavily and said: "I have long heard that the people of the Tong family do some unclean things, but I didn't expect to do such a bad thing, hook away other people's wives, and not allow any jade processing factories to use him, and now, this kind of stealing jade can be done!" ”

Ji Yuan touched his chin and said cautiously: "Dad, there is no evidence that this matter must be related to Tong Guangde, and Xiao Zhuo, you didn't sign a contract at the beginning, so the ownership of this jade is a problem." ”

Zhao Zhuo said: "I also know that this is a difficult problem, but if you find the jadeite, and then follow the vine and find the person who stole things, as long as he can admit it, it will be evidence!" ”

Ji Yuan nodded and said, "This idea is very good. Let me think about it, well, no matter who this jade jade carving is, ninety percent of it is likely to be sold, and there are no more than three channels to sell it. ”

"What three channels?" Zhao Zhuo immediately asked.

Ji Yuan said: "The first channel is private transactions. Many merchants like to collect antiques, of course, including the kind of stealing that is not visible, because once it is stained with the word "theft", it makes people feel that it is genuine. Therefore, these stolen goods have a fixed channel of circulation, and once they enter the merchant's collection through this channel, they are likely to be shelved and kept for their own enjoyment, or they are hoarded and sold when the price rises. Therefore, this first trading method is the most hidden, and it is also the most troublesome, basically once it is out, it is difficult to recover it. ”

Zhao Zhuo nodded again and again when he heard this, indeed, if the other party made a private transaction, he really wanted to find a needle in the sea.

Ji Yuan continued: "As for the second channel, that is the auction house. ”

"Auction house?" Zhao Zhuo frowned and questioned, "But if the brochure in front of the auction house is seen by the original author, wouldn't it be asking for trouble?" And the other party should not be completely sure that we do not have this contract. ”

Ji Yuan said unhurriedly: "Of course, a general auction will print the auction items into a book before the auction, and publicize the more valuable ones. However, auction houses also have so-called special auctions, that is, auctions a certain category or a certain collector's things, and if their collections are very valuable, in order to prevent the appearance of childcare, then it is very likely to limit the number of auctioneers. For example, only VIP clients of the auction house are allowed to participate in the auction, which is also a benefit for VIP clients. It is even said that many valuable exhibits are only taken out at auction in order to maintain their mystery and security, and at the same time, the identity of the person who enters is restricted, so that it will not be known. ”

Zhao Zhuo frowned slightly, and the secret path Ji Yuan analyzed accurately. Indeed, how could a down-and-out carver who lived in a shanty town enter a big auction house? And as soon as things fall into the hands of those buyers, things get even more complicated. Because those buyers are limited to Baicheng, many of them are from other provinces or even abroad.

Speaking of this, Ji Yuan added: "And if the other party is ready to use it for auction, then there is a foolproof guarantee, first, the background of Bai Ming is clear, second, he is almost certain that he has no contract, and third, in order to prove the source of the jadeite, it will definitely create a lot of illusions, if it is really done by the Tong family, then with their wealth and background, it can be done seamlessly." Think about it, the number of people is limited, and the exhibits only appear for ten minutes during the auction, even if Bai Ming has great ability, how can he find it? Power is something that can't be ignored in the antique world. ”

Zhao Zhuo nodded and asked, "So, what about the third channel?" ”

Ji Yuan replied: "The third channel is the ghost market. ”
