Shinkawa City Plains Prison.

The family meeting room in Prison District No. 3 is not big or small, with a scale of 50 or 60 square meters, and more than 10 sets of tables and chairs are neatly placed in it.

There are only two sparse figures in the entire meeting room at the moment, a man in a prison uniform is standing in a corner of the room with an expression on his face, and the other is a young man in his early twenties.

At this time, however, the young man's face was full of anxiety, and he was staring at the road leading from the interview room to the cell almost expectantly.

Stomp and tread.

In the calm, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance on the road outside the door, and the anxiety on the young man's face instantly turned into joy at the moment when the sound appeared, and he stood up from the spot, and couldn't help but want to rush over, but at this moment, the prison guard looked at him with a cold gaze, which made the excitement in the young man's heart dissipate a lot, and the steps he took had to be put down.

After a few breaths.

The footsteps outside the door became clearer and clearer, followed by a middle-aged man wearing a prisoner's prison uniform, also with a bookish atmosphere, but only one frame leg was left on the bridge of his nose, and even the right spectacle lens was mostly broken.

Seeing the man, the young man could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, his eyes instantly reddened, and he said with a slight choked voice, "Uncle! ”

The middle-aged man looked haggard, his face was pale, although there were no obvious scars on his face, but he was slightly lame when he walked, and even pinched his waist with one hand, he could see that he was not happy in prison, but after hearing the young man's whisper, the middle-aged man still had a warm feeling in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth also showed a shallow smile, "Mingluo, you are here." ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man carefully pinched his waist again, limped to the table, and saw the difficult appearance of the other party, the young man could no longer hold back the sourness in his heart, and he couldn't care about the cold gaze of the prison guard, so he directly stepped out and carefully helped the middle-aged man forward, "Uncle, how can you ...... How did it come to this? ”

Yes, in Zhou Mingluo's memory, when did Uncle Fang ever look so embarrassed? He has always been a gentle and dignified elder in front of Zhou Mingluo, when will he be so haggard and embarrassed!

Of course, Zhou Mingluo didn't imagine how the other party could become like this, he was not a fool, how much better could he be in prison, especially if someone like Fang Shutong was put in, he could predict how miserable his experience was.

But as expected, seeing this elder who treated him like his own son so guilty, Zhou Mingluo still felt an extreme depression in his heart at this moment, and this depression was enough to make him not even have much strength to cry.

"Officer He, I'm causing you trouble." Fang Shutong shook his head helplessly, but he didn't directly answer Zhou Mingluo's words, but smiled at the prison officer who was staring at him.

This smile, if it is outside the prison, with Fang Shutong's appearance and demeanor, it is definitely full of the solemn charm of a mature man, but at this moment, with the half-worn glasses, it is extremely funny and poignant.

It seemed that he couldn't bear Uncle Fang's situation, and the prison guard, who was originally cold, also squeezed out a light smile at the corner of his mouth at this moment, and then turned his face away.

And Zhou Mingluo also sat at the meeting table with Uncle Fang, and he sat opposite.

"Uncle, are there a lot of people bullying you inside?"

After sitting down, he looked at Uncle Fang again, Zhou Mingluo suppressed his voice and tried not to cry, and asked in a low voice.

It was hard for him to imagine how Fang Shutong, who seemed to be a scholar, such a humble gentleman, was now falling into a bunch of wolf-like prisoners.

When this question was over, Uncle Fang on the other side also looked straight over, stared at Zhou Mingluo carefully, and the corners of Uncle Fang's eyes gradually turned slightly red, but he still didn't answer this question, but said with emotion, "Mingluo, I really didn't misunderstand you, and now I say that you are the only one who dares to come to see me." ”

"Uncle, if it weren't for you all these years, I would ......" As soon as he heard this, Zhou Mingluo was depressed again, yes, there were many people who often came to visit Fang Shutong when he was still outside, but now those people are probably afraid to avoid it.

However, no matter what others think, no matter what powerful characters Fang Shutong has offended, and how terrible the consequences of getting involved with him now, all of this cannot affect Zhou Mingluo's respect and admiration for Fang Shutong.

Nor will he change his position!

He only knew that when he had just come out of his inland hometown and entered this society, he had just arrived in Xinchuan and was completely deceived, and he was embarrassed to say anything to his parents.

And in the past three years, under the care of Fang Shutong, Zhou Mingluo has not only learned a lot of things, but also accumulated a small value, not only can he live in a coastal city like Xinchuan, but he can often bring something back to honor his parents.

He is just a migrant worker from the countryside, it can be said that he is poor and white, he has nothing, he wants nothing, and Uncle Fang's support and help to him is really not ordinary.

Although there is no blood relationship between him and Uncle Fang, in his heart, Zhou Mingluo really treats the other party as his own uncle, in addition to his parents, the most important thing for him in this world is Uncle Fang.

Now seeing Uncle Fang fall into this step, he can't do anything about it, so he can only be anxious on the sidelines, which really makes Zhou Mingluo feel uncomfortable and want to cry.

And the origin of it all is because of a piece of porcelain.

Although Uncle Fang is polite and courteous, and his actions are fair and straightforward, he is quite gentlemanly, but his real identity is an authentic businessman, and he is also a second-class dealer in the collection world.

To put it simply, it is to look for all kinds of treasures everywhere, buy them at a low price, and sell them at a high price.

Gold in troubled times, collected in prosperous times.

These words contain a truth, which has been proven countless times by history, but in the era of war and chaos, the most valuable things are often gold and silver, but in the prosperous era, there will be a wave of collection fever, today's country, is also the beginning of the prosperous era, there are many people who are submerged in the collection world, even ordinary people may have one or two who like to collect, and Uncle Fang is taking the professional route, and has a certain background and knowledge, until he gets the porcelain, He is also a little valuable in a metropolis like Xinchuan, and he has a jade shop in a busy section of the road to take care of the family, but he is more likely to take Zhou Mingluo around the world.

The porcelain was also discovered during a leak test.

However, what is surprising is that Fang Shutong also looked away, he only thought that it was an imitation of Song porcelain in the Qing Dynasty, but who knew that it was later confirmed by another master that it might be genuine.

It's a lot of fun now, and it was originally an imitation, because its imitation is realistic and it is also an imitation of the Qing Dynasty.

Regardless of the various evaluations and criticisms of the Qing Dynasty, purely from an artistic point of view, it is also an extremely prosperous ceramic era in history, so even if this porcelain is an imitation of the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, it is enough for Fang Shutong to open a branch in Xinchuan again, and if it is genuine, the value is really difficult to estimate.

This value is even a little hot.

In just a few days, a group of people came to observe, and many people even opened their mouths to buy.

There are too many of these people, and many of them Uncle Fang didn't even recognize them before, and in the face of the same problem, plus whether this porcelain is real or fake, he naturally won't sell it easily.

As a result, those who are also real collectors, or have a certain moral bottom line, are fine, even if they are rejected, it is nothing, but some people will do whatever it takes.

Fang Shutong was suddenly arrested for intentional injury and sentenced to five years in prison, and the porcelain was soon missing.

In the past, although Uncle Fang was also worth a little in Xinchuan, it was only a small one, at most he was a middle class, because his own attainments in the antique collecting world were just in the middle of the stream, and he was also in the middle of Xinchuan City.

So until now, whether it is Fang Shutong or Zhou Mingluo, he doesn't even know who made the move.

Of course, this was rectified, and the object of Fang Shutong's intentional injury was judged by the court, and he had never heard of this name before Fang Shutong was arrested, nor had he seen this person,......

But now, whether it is Fang Shutong or Zhou Mingluo, they have already carved each other's voice and appearance into the depths of their hearts.

And since Uncle Fang was arrested, the people who really framed him have not shown up, but some people may have already smelled the news, in the past, Uncle Fang and those friends and brothers who had a good relationship with him have evaporated from the world at this moment.

After Fang Shutong's wife and Zhou Ming were arrested, they ran countless ways to save him, and even sold the storefront, but in the end it was to no avail.

It's just that Fang Shutong's prison sentence has been shortened.

"Hehe, don't talk about that." Seeing Zhou Mingluo's depressed appearance, Fang Shutong's eyes turned red again, and then he spoke, "How is your Aunt Xiu, how are you doing?" ”

When it came to his wife, Fang Shutong was gloomy again, but his original and beautiful family fell to this step because of a piece of porcelain, and he really collapsed.

If it weren't for the foundation precipitated in more than 40 years of life, if it weren't for the support of missing his wife, I'm afraid he would have been unable to hold on and step over.

However, when Fang Shutong was finally able to be visited in prison, he decisively refused in the face of his wife's request to come to see him together, because he couldn't let the other party see his miserable appearance, so he only let Zhou Mingluo come alone during this visit.

"Aunt Xiu is very good." Poof, a bean-sized tear finally slipped from Zhou Mingluo's eyes, and the next moment, he suppressed a low voice and said, "Uncle, if I let me know which bastard did it, I will definitely fight with him!" ”
