CHAPTER XV
15 Dusk, the county government back hall.
The light in the room was already a little dim, and there were two people sitting and one standing in the hall. Sitting in the middle is the county magistrate of this county, and the county is in Chengzhong. Yu Zhixian is also in his forties, slightly thin, with a long beard and an elegant face.
At this moment, Yu Zhixian was a little elegant, his eyes were straight and he had not yet recovered from the shock, he looked at the colored jade in his palm, and looked up at the middle-aged scribe standing on the side for a while, "Tuzhi, what do you think?" "
The person asked is called Xu Wei, the character is pictured, he is a guest in Yu Chengzhong, in addition to planning, he also handles some specific affairs such as money and food, and Yu Zhixian relies on him a lot and regards him as a confidant.
Xu Wei sighed for a while, and said solemnly, "I look at this person," he paused, and then said four words in an accentuated tone: "It is definitely not a person in the world." He continued, "Although what he said is absurd, but consider the context, his words and deeds, his dress, and such treasures?" It is somewhat credible to refer to a few comparisons, in short, it will not be an ordinary person. The disposition of this person is not careful, but what if he is really valuable? It takes a lot of observation, and in the end, it is necessary to find out the news before it can be distinguished. "
Yu Chengzhong raised his head and closed his eyes and sighed, then turned his head to face to his side, the person standing here was Pan Hu, he hurriedly bowed and hugged his fists and said, "What Mr. Xu said is not bad, I couldn't believe this at the beginning, the surname is Zhou, I have tried him many times, and he has answered basically decently, and there is no conclusive lie." ”
"Huh? That's it? Yu Zhixian raised his head and thought, "You have been with him for two days, do you think what he said is true or false?" "
These words stopped Pan Hu, he frowned, hesitating whether to bet on "Well, I always feel that this person is a little evil!" "
Yu Chengzhong raised his eyes and glanced at Pan Hu, slightly dissatisfied, "What should we do with such a peerless jade?" Is it necessary to return it to him? Of course, Yu Zhixian was unwilling, and asked with a frown.
"Huh? The origin of that Zhou Dao is unknown, how can it be reassuring to put such a valuable thing elsewhere. Xu Wei stroked his beard and paused for a moment, then said, "Didn't he sell this thing in front of everyone in the market today?" If he wants to sell, the adults will buy it. "Oh? I didn't think of that. Yu Zhixian suddenly straightened up from the chair, and asked Xu Wei with a happy face, "What price does Mr. think this treasure is worth?" "Priceless. "
Xu Wei said with certainty: "To say that it is worth ten thousand yuan must be an insult to this thing." After a pause, he continued, "However, it is also timely, and we have to see when and where and who will sell and who will buy." Although I see that Zhou Dao as young, he is a person who understands the current affairs and the general situation. With that, he stroked his long beard and smiled silently. Haha, what a wonderful guy you are. Yu Zhixian pointed at Xu Wei with his hand, full of spring breeze. Looking back at Pan Hu, he also smiled, after all, the people and things he brought back, this old boy has merit, "Old Pan, you also talk about it, sit, sit and say." "
Pan Hu hurriedly clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Master Xie", and then sat in a corner carefully, and then said, "On the way back to the county government today, many people followed, and some people coaxed that the government was going to blacken the treasures of Zhou Dao, and I didn't dare to say anything when I scolded them, but in my opinion, there are not a few people who have this idea." Now that I think about it, why did Zhou Dao take off his robe on the street at that time to deliberately attract attention, I am afraid that he had already thought about it, that is, to let everyone see that this treasure was his, so as not to be hacked, and maybe he would cause trouble and worry about his life. It seems that this person is not very old but deep, and he still underestimates him. What Mr. said just now is the safest, and it can be blocked to those small mouths. Yu Zhixian nodded when he heard this, thought so, and said, "I am still relieved that Lao Pan is doing a good job, this time I did a good job." Old Pan hurriedly got up and gave up his hand.
This is Yu Chengzhong's affirmation of him. Although he said that he wanted to ask him in the back hall today to understand the situation, he did not avoid him when he said such things, indicating that he Pan Hu took another step towards becoming Yu Zhixian's henchman.
Today, he took Zhou Dao directly to Mr. Xu, and after Xu argued, he immediately took him and Zhou Dao to meet Yu Chengzhong. Pan Hu did not hand over Zhou Dao to be in charge of the criminal case according to the rules, his immediate boss was the county lieutenant Fang Xu, and he and that guy had never dealt with each other. Yu Zhixian looked at Xu Wei again. Xu Wei smiled and arched his hand, "In this way, I will be thoughtful." "
Zhou Dao was placed under house arrest, but he was not imprisoned and tortured. This is a small courtyard not far from the county office, where Mr. Xu lived, and was brought here after meeting Yu Zhixian. Now he sat in the house in a long robe, his original clothes and trousers had been searched, and he sat at the table drinking water, and two domestic servants stood outside the door. At this time, his mood was sometimes apprehensive and sometimes single, "It's all like this, what do you want?" Taiwanese accent, this is the idea that suddenly came to him.
After a long time, the sky was dark, and a person walked into the house, "Zhou Gongzi, I've been waiting for a long time." "It's Mr. Xu, who knows. When Pan Hu brought him here, Xu Wei asked him a lot of words, and without waiting for Zhou Dao to answer, he raised his voice and said to the door, "Come here, hold the lamp, prepare the meal", and then turned to Zhou Dao and said, "Zhou Gongzi, let's talk while eating, okay?" He wasn't asking for Zhou Dao's opinion, so he asked people to change the hot tea and sit down on the other side of the Eight Immortals table.
Zhou Dao noticed that the tea was not brewed, but boiled. Xu Wei poured a bowl of tea soup and handed it to Zhou Dao, poured another bowl himself, made a gesture of please with his hand, then picked up the tea bowl and blew it gently, and took a sip. Zhou Dao also lifted the bowl with both hands, which meant please, and then took a sip. Xu Wei put down the tea bowl, and then looked at him without speaking, with a slight smile in his eyes. Zhou Dao was a little uncomfortable, and was about to say something when Mr. Xu spoke, "Lord Yu has decided to buy your jade." "
"Ah" Zhou Dao was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to be so direct and didn't foreshadow, "Well, how much?" "He's not sure. Xu Wei stretched out three fingers "Three hundred". Zhou Dao lacks the idea of "Guan", only knows that it has always been a thousand Wen, if he can give him more time or he inquires to understand, he will know that the current consistency is only about 900 Wen, as for the purchasing power he does not know. But what he can be sure of is that mobile phones are unique at this time! Seeing how people react to this today, you know it's truly priceless. So he shook his head.
Xu Wei still looked at Zhou Dao with a smile, as if Zhou Dao's reaction or Zhou Dao itself seemed ridiculous. "You may not have understood what I said, I'll say it again." Xu Fan raised his hand to stop and pay attention, and said emphatically and slowly, "Lord Yu has decided to buy your treasure, three hundred guan." Zhou Dao frowned and pondered, as if he had grasped something but couldn't understand it, and looked at Xu Wei.
"This is Lord Yu's decision, not to discuss with you, let alone bargain." Xu Wei said slowly, "You should be glad that this decision is to buy, not anything else. Zhou Dao looked directly at Xu Wei and did not speak. You have more than one choice, you can choose to sell it or not, it's up to you. Sell, you can get three hundred, don't sell, and then what? Xu Wei paused: "No, then." "
There was silence in the room. But soon, Zhou Dao raised his head, he spread his hands and said, "It seems that I can't refuse the conditions you proposed, we have a good deal." Xu Wei understood, bowed his head slightly, turned his head to the door and commanded loudly, "Is the meal ready?" Serve, then scald the wine. ”
Inside the house, under the oil lamp, Xu Biandao drank on the table. Xu Wei took a sip of his wine glass, and said slowly, "In fact, the decision to buy this treasure is naturally decided by adults, and it is up to me to decide how much to buy." Three hundred, no more, no less, just right. It's too much, it's me Xu who is not good enough to do things, how can such mundane affairs disturb adults. Less, the world says that I take advantage of the danger of others to take advantage of it, hehe, but it is true. It's really a little unreasonable to say it to you, and I can't bear it. Hey. Zhou Daofu thought he would say this: "This is really crocodile tears." ”
Xu Wei drank the wine and said to himself, "Guilty of guilt, congratulations on escaping the catastrophe." "
Zhou Dao was silent, he first crossed inexplicably, and now he was robbed, and he didn't know what surprises would come next. Life is so rich and colorful, it is indeed worth congratulating. "People are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat."
Mr. Xu didn't care what Zhou Dao thought at this time, took a bite of the dish and ate it with relish, and then said, "It's your plan to show the treasure in front of everyone today." Seeing that Zhou Dao was silent, Xu Wei smiled and continued, "Very good, but since you have appeared, you have to sell the treasure as soon as possible, with your current situation, you can't protect yourself, and you can't protect yourself." Don't say that if you give you 300 guan today, it means that you will give you 100 guan, once you reveal your wealth, no one will ask if you are alone without relatives and no reason. "So I won't give a hundred guan, it's all saved. Isn't it, Mr. Xu? Zhou Dao asked calmly. You misunderstood, you can inquire in the future, when did I not count what someone Xu said. Since it is agreed to you for 300 times, you will not be left behind, otherwise if you want to take the treasure, you will take it, why bother talking! It's not that you can't, but you don't have it. Xu Wei didn't think about it.
Zhou Dao nodded after hearing this, he caught from Xu Wei's words just now, "You can inquire in the future", that is to say, he can have "in the future".
"Well, there is no need to talk about these anymore, tomorrow has its own arrangements. I'm interested in this..."As he spoke, Xu Wei took out a cloth bag from his bosom and opened it on the table, which were two hundred, three yuan, one five yuan and two one-yuan coins, which were exactly what Zhou Dao had searched in his trouser pocket.
"Young Master Zhou, may I ask what this is?" "Money, we've got it." "Well, I didn't expect it bad." Xu Wei played with the coin in his hand, "Such a skill is rare in the world, hmm." Looking at the intricate patterns on the coins were clear and even, and the two sticks were exactly the same, mixing the two together, he couldn't tell which one he was playing with in his hand. Xu Wei was sincerely admired.
"This must be cast, right?" "Hmm," Zhou Dao nodded, not knowing if it was okay. "Zhou Gongzi, do you know how this casting process is made?" Xu Wei said solemnly. "I really don't know this, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the process is also confidential." Zhou Dao replied solemnly. "Keeping it a secret from the royal family?" Xu Wei looked at him. "There is no need to keep it a secret from the royal family, but the premise is that you have to study it specifically, and I have no interest in it, so I don't know the specific operation process, only a little bit of it, it is made of a combination of casting and stamping. "
"Punch?" "It's suppression." Zhou Dao waved his arm and gestured as he raised a sledgehammer and smashed it down. "Oh," Xu Wei thought thoughtfully, "Master Zhou, what is your art industry?" "I studied business management, which is how to buy and sell. "So you're here for my Great Song. Xu Dao said with a smile: "I want to ask how many households there are in your dynasty?" "I haven't seen the specific figures, but it is said that there are more than 20 million people, more than 4 million households." "Your dynasty is not small, hey." Xu Wei sighed inexplicably and didn't ask any further.
He took out one from the banknote and handed it to Zhou Dao, "You take this one, although it is not of great use, but it is a thought after all." This is a ten-yuan bill, Zhou Dao took the banknote, and touched his body again to find his pocket. Seeing this, Xu Wei pointed to his chest, and Zhou Dao willingly folded the banknote in half and put it into the pocket in his arms. "Looks like that's gone." Zhou Dao thought. "These tokens, which may indicate your identity, are still in our custody for you." Xu Wei continued, "Reading this, let me believe that you are indeed from a foreign land, and you have to stay in this county and listen to news and inquiries before finally verifying your identity." Of course, you are free to move around the territory of the prefecture. "
"Huh?" Zhou Daozhen didn't expect this, and he didn't dare to ask more, and he would lose if he said too much. "If you have anything in the future, Pan Hu will take care of one or two, and you can also come to me." Xu Wei smiled and continued, "There are also ten guans, which are the placement fees given to you by Lord Yu, and Pan Hu will bring it to you tomorrow." This is also my gift to you, as a gift to friends. "Oh? Zhou Dao was stunned, "Friend? Gifts? "Why did the placement fee given by the adults become his gift again? But then he understood that the treasury of the county government was his treasury. "
Thank you so much, sir. Zhou Dao also learned to hold his fist at Xu Bian, and Xu Bian smiled and raised his hand to accept it. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing to tell, please tell Mr. Yu, there is a button on the side of my treasure, and you have to press it to turn off immediately after you use it. Otherwise, once the electricity runs out, it will never be turned on again.
"Dark Arrow? Electricity? Shutdown? Or is it a mechanism...? "Xu Wei was alert and confused." Electricity, like the soul of this treasure, is taken from the deep sea, and it cannot be obtained unless it is a strange person's skill. Once used up, this treasure is like a long sleep and cannot be awakened, and it has to be re-injected with this "electricity" before it can be used. Today, the baby was taken away by Pan Ye, and he hasn't seen it, and he may not have turned off his phone, and you didn't give me a chance to talk about this. "
Xu Wei solemnly raised his hand to stop him from talking, "In this way, you will go with me to see Lord Yu immediately." Regardless of the darkness of the night, he hurried to Yufu with Zhou Dao.
