After sending off Lao Zhaohua, Wang Yu was in a heavy mood, silently got on the horse, and continued to move forward with Lu Qi, running for about three hours to come to the city of Zhangzhou. At this time, it was already dark, and the two of them entered the city, Wang Yuxi said: "Brother Lu, you have entered Zhangzhou City, even if you enter my house, go, quickly follow me into the house, my father knows that I have met a new friend, and he will be happy." ”

Lu Qi thought to himself, this Wang family doesn't know where it is sacred, it is so prominent in this eastern Fujian area, and it is so generous to call Huazi, even the people in the official government are like gods, I Lu Qi is so cold, I will be laughed at when I go to his house, no, change my outfit tonight, buy some expensive clothes to wear, and go to his house tomorrow. ”

Lu Qi said: "Brother Xian, it's getting late today, it's inconvenient for Brother Yu to go to the mansion to bother, you can go back, I will stay at the inn temporarily, and come to your house early tomorrow morning to visit." ”

Wang Yu didn't follow, and said: "My house is in front of Lotus Street, not far from here, some of the family is in the upper room, which is a hundred times stronger than the inn, why should Brother Lu stay outside?" ”

Lu Qi was deeply moved to meet such a good brother who was affectionate and righteous in a foreign place, and hurriedly thanked: "The virtuous brother is gracious, and the foolish brother understands it, but it is really inconvenient to rush into the house to disturb, and I will definitely come tomorrow." ”

"Brother Lu, wait a minute......" Wang Yu saw what he had found, hurriedly jumped off the horse and flew away towards the entrance of a small alley on the side of the street, looking surprised and delighted, and forgot to lead the horse. Lu Qi also dismounted, led his horse and Wang Yu's horse, and walked over.

I saw an unkempt young man sitting barefoot on the ground on the ground, with a rag cloth in front of him, and a black bowl was placed on the rotten cloth, and its shape was different from the porcelain bowl for home-cooked meals.

"What is this?" Luffy leaned over and asked, puzzled.

Wang Yu didn't answer Lu Qi, but asked the young man: "What are you doing and how much do you want to buy?" ”

The young man said: "I don't know what it's called, my grandfather handed it to me when he was dying, and told me not to sell it until I had to, in case the family is in urgent need of money, I must take it to the capital, find a rich family of eunuchs, and sell it for a thousand taels of gold." ”

"Haha, as much as you can brag, this broken bowl is worth a thousand gold?" Lucci laughed.

Wang Yu didn't smile, and identified this broken bowl seriously, with a look of surprise on his face.

The young man saw that Lu Qi was disrespectful and was about to scold, Wang Yu hurriedly stopped: "Big brother is angry, my brother is just joking, but you sell this thing for a thousand taels of gold, that's also a lie, you say a real price, if it's suitable, I'll buy it." ”

The young man said: "To tell you the truth, I lost my father since I was a child, and now my mother is seriously ill, and I can't go to the capital, so I ran two hundred miles of mountain roads to Zhangzhou to sell it, if you have the heart, you will give a thousand taels of silver, and I won't buy one less child, I haven't met anyone who knows the goods today, and I will take Fuzhou tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay, you come with me to my house, I'll buy it," Wang Yu immediately decided to buy. Lu Qi was secretly surprised, and thought to himself: "This Wang Yu is really a gentleman, spending money like flowing water, and he is willing to spend a thousand taels of silver to buy this thing." ”

The young man said, "No, I won't go with you, my mother said, there are many bad people in the city, you have to have the heart to buy it, go home and get the silver, I will wait for you here." ”

Wang Yu said "yes", then stood up and pulled Lu Qi aside, and whispered: "His treasure is called 'Purple Gold Bowl', which is an official item of the Han Dynasty, and now it has become a rare treasure, which is worth a lot of money, Hugh said that a thousand taels of gold, even if it is worth 10,000 taels." If these treasures are contributed to the imperial court, the body of the cloth can also be changed to a six- or seven-grade official. My father loved antiquities since he was a child, and he also collected one ten years ago, and I often played with it, so I knew it. According to the "Later Hejaz", there are only two pieces in the world, and my father has always wanted to find another one in order to match the pair, but he didn't expect it to be in his hands. ”

Lu Qi woke up from a dream, and let out an "ah" in surprise, he couldn't imagine that such a broken thing was so valuable, he had heard that some antiques were priceless, and he never believed it, and it seemed that it was not a lie.

Wang Yu said again: "It's a pity that I gave all the gold and silver on my body to Lao Zhaohua, otherwise it would be enough to buy his treasure, fortunately this place is not far from home, I will go home to get the silver, Brother Lu guards this person, he is not allowed to sell to others, this matter is very important, brother must help me." ”

Lu Qi said: "Don't worry, Brother Xian will go back quickly, I will definitely watch this person." ”

Wang Yu returned to the young man, took out fifty taels of silver from his body, and said, "I will give one thousand and fifty taels of silver, and these fifty taels should be used as a deposit, and I will send another thousand taels of silver later, and you will not sell them to others." ”

The young man accepted the money and said happily, "Okay, you go early and come back early." ”

Wang Yu turned over and got on his horse, turned to Lu Qi and said, "Brother Lu, please." With that, he hurried his horse and galloped away.

At this time, people came and went on the street, and from time to time some people also stopped to watch the purple gold bowl, but unfortunately most of them were mortals with the naked eye, and they smiled and left after a few glances. Every time someone comes, Lu Qi is nervous, in case he meets a person who knows the goods and wants to buy it at a high price, wouldn't it be a big mistake?

Lu Qi said: "Since this thing has been sold to my brother, then put it away." ”

The young man said, "Okay, take it." ”

Lu Qi squatted down to wrap the purple gold bowl, but when he saw that the cloth was in tatters, he took a small cloth bag from his bag and wanted to put the purple gold bowl into the cloth bag.

The young man suddenly snatched the purple gold bowl with one hand and hid it in his arms, looked at Lu Qi in horror, and asked angrily, "What are you going to do?" ”

Lu Qi hurriedly explained, "I saw that your cloth was shabby, and I just wanted to put this thing in a new cloth bag, and I had nothing else to do. ”

The young man stared at Lu Qi nervously and said, "You must have wanted to run away with my things, you have a horse, how can I catch up with you, there are many bad people in the city, how dare I believe you?" ”

Lu Qi was furious, but after thinking about it, he held back, and comforted him with good words: "You are alone, I am also a person, you and I are of average size, if you really want to fight, I may not be your opponent, how dare I rob your things?" If you want to rob it, just now when my brother was there, the two of us grabbed it. ”

The young man seemed to realize what Lu Qi said: "Oh, I see, you whispered just now, your brother must have asked you to look at me, he went to call someone." The boy said that he was about to run away.

Lu Qi was anxious, I really couldn't imagine that this stupid young man in the mountains was so ignorant and suspicious, if he really let him go, how could he explain to Wang Yu, no, I had to keep this person.

Lu Qi grabbed him and said, "We have paid the deposit, where are you going?" ”

The young man seemed to remember that he had already received the deposit, and hurriedly took out the ingot of silver from his bosom and returned it to Lu Qi and said, "Return it to you, don't arrest me, if you arrest me again, I will go to the official office to report to the official." ”

Rudghe had thought that things were getting worse and worse, and that this ignorant boy was so brainless that he was a bad person.

Lu Qi said: "Since you have received a deposit, how can you say that you can leave, and if we sincerely buy your things, why do you say that we are evildoers." ”

The young man said, "Unless you buy it now, and I don't believe you, let me go, and I don't want your deposit." ”

Seeing that this person was unreasonable and stubborn, Lu Qi was afraid that he would leave suddenly, so it would be difficult to explain to Wang Yu, thinking that he had more than 1,000 taels of silver in his baggage, so he said to the young man: "Okay, I will pay you the silver now, and you will not wronged a good person." ”

The young man heard what Lurgy said, and he didn't toss anymore, the two squatted down with peace of mind, Luffy opened the baggage, took ten ingots of silver and handed it to the young man, the young man took the silver suspiciously, and suddenly returned it to Luffy and said: "It must be fake, otherwise why didn't you take it out just now, and let your brother go home to get the silver?" ”

Lu Qi couldn't cry or laugh, but he didn't dare to be angry, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, if your brother settles the account, he wants to buy it, and naturally he pays for it, and now that you want to leave, I have to put on the silver first, and then ask him for it later." ”

The young man nodded and said, "That's right." Then he bit down on each ingot of silver with his teeth, and found that it was real silver, so he accepted it with confidence, and delivered the purple gold bowl to Lu Qi, and went away in hiding, as if he had been a thief.

Seeing the young man's appearance, Lucci was very amused, and scolded, "What a hillbilly, stupid pig." Then he carefully put the purple gold bowl into a cloth bag, put it in the baggage, and led the horse to stand on the side of the road and wait for Wang Yu.

It's strange, why haven't you seen Wang Yu coming? One thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, Wang Yu may have to find the housekeeper to withdraw it, could it be that it is late today, and the housekeeper has already slept, so it is delayed?

After waiting for a while, Lu Qi thought to himself: Why don't I find a hotel to stay in first, and then I will present the purple gold bowl when I visit tomorrow. With his mind already decided, Lu Qi led his horse to find the inn, and thought as he walked: "I heard Wang Yu say that this treasure is not expensive even if it is sold for 10,000 taels of gold, even if it is born in cloth clothes, if you dedicate it to the imperial court, you can also change it to a six- or seven-grade official." With such a valuable treasure, how much effort do I have to steal from the powerful and powerful families to be worthy of it? ”

Thinking of carrying such a priceless treasure in his arms, Lu Qi's heart was difficult to calm down, and his greed rose sharply for a while, and he thought: "If I dedicate this thing to the imperial court and mix it with the county order, all the classics, head-hunting, fast-catching, wolf-tyrant, and Ruan Tianhu who bullied me before will all kneel and slap me Lu Qi, haha." The more Lu Qi thought about it, the more proud he became: "Why should I hand over the treasures I bought with my own money?" Why not...... Why don't you just leave, and from now on soar to the top, glorify your ancestors, wouldn't it be happy? ”

However, although Wang Yu and I have never lived in life, they have taken care of me quite well along the way, and we are a kind and righteous person.

On one side is benevolence, on the other side is baby, which is more important, Lu Qi couldn't weigh it for a while, and his heart was pounding in panic.

Lu Qi looked in the direction of Wang Yu riding a horse, but still did not see him come back, his heart was both uneasy and secretly happy, and suddenly his heart was horizontal, he rode on the horse, regardless of the fatigue, raised the whip again and again, and hurriedly returned in the direction of Putian and Fuzhou.

Lu Qi ran all the way, and when he arrived in Putian, he was already sleepy and tired, at this time the east was faint, Lu Qi secretly thought: This treasure is precious, how can I be safe when I hold it alone and walk at night? Even if you don't meet a robber, if you accidentally bump and break it, or hit a crack, it's not a big deal, it's better to find an antique store in Putian to buy a box, stuff some cotton in it, put this treasure in it safely and securely, and then stay day and night, and take the official road to ensure that it is safe. Lu Qi stayed in the inn and lay on the bed with the purple gold bowl in his arms, ecstatic at the price of this priceless treasure, and anxious about losing his friend, and even tossed and turned with the treasure in his arms and failed to sleep.

When it was dawn and the streets were full of people, Lucci got dressed and got up, asked the shopkeeper about the location of the antique shop, and walked straight out with his baggage on his back.

Luffy came to an antique shop called "Ancient and Modern Yuan", first walked around the door a few times, and saw a middle-aged man in a long shirt greeting customers, Luffy lingered for a long time, and waited until the customers were empty before entering the store.

When the middle-aged man saw a guest coming, he hurriedly greeted him, and Lu Qi said, "Brother shopkeeper, I have an antique and want to match a box." ”

The middle-aged man looked at Lu Qi and said, "Take it out and have a look." ”

Lu Qi put down the package, took out the purple gold bowl, held it with both hands, handed it over, and said, "Be careful! ”

The middle-aged man took the purple gold bowl, gently put it on a piece of red cloth, looked at it, turned around and took out a cedar box in the cabinet, put the purple gold bowl into the box, and said, "The size is just right, so let's do it." With that, he looked at Lucci and asked for the guest's permission.

Seeing that this cedar box was extremely ordinary, Lu Qi was unhappy, and pointed to another box and said, "That purple box looks elegant, I'll buy that." ”

The man looked in the direction of Lu Qi's finger and said, "This is Hainan Huanghua rosewood, which is particularly precious, and it is generally used for pearl agate, which is really a bit of a waste when used to hold this bronze ware." ”

Lu Qi was even more displeased when he heard this, and shouted: "Why is the shopkeeper so ignorant, you still open a treasure shop, my rare treasure, is not worthy of your wooden box?" ”

The shopkeeper was not angry, and said with a smile: "I think you are a layman, you say that the peacock is a sparrow, but the crow is a phoenix." My box is not an ordinary wooden box, it is very precious, your copper bowl is all over the ground, how has it become a rare treasure. ”

Lu Qi was furious, he didn't expect this person to insult his treasure so much, so he snatched the purple gold bowl and said: "I warn you, don't think about the idea of beating the uncle, the uncle is a ** lake." Luffy put away the purple bowl and walked out of the store.

"**Lake? Hehe," the man sneered: "I don't look like you are pretending to be stupid, I will pity you and tell you the truth, there are no more than two kinds of people who come to me with such rotten goods to fake treasures, those who deceive people and those who are deceived, and I won't say much about the rest." Okay, since you insist on buying my yellow rosewood box, sell it to you, two taels of silver, but it is worth more than your copper bowl. ”

Lu Qi hadn't walked out of the store yet, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, how could it be? If it was a fake, Wang Yu should be able to distinguish it, how could he promise to buy it for a thousand taels of silver? And he also paid fifty taels of silver as a deposit!

The middle-aged man leisurely dialed the abacus, and when he saw Lu Qi looking like a wooden chicken, he asked slowly, "Where did you get this bowl?" ”

Lu Qi came back to his senses, turned around and leaned over to the store and said: "Brother shopkeeper, will you look away, there are only two treasures left in the world now, and the other is in the collection of the big family in Zhangzhou, even if you have thousands of gold and silver, people will not sell it to you." ”

When the middle-aged man heard Lu Qi's words, he stopped what he was doing and asked, "Wang family?" Wang Feng or Wang Yu? ”

"Huh?" Lucci was shocked: "How do you know? ”

"Hahahaha," the middle-aged man laughed heartily, "It seems that you have been deceived by Wang Jiaer." ”

"The second deception of the Wang family?" Lu Qi was dumbfounded, and asked urgently: "Who is the second liar of the Wang family?" ”

The shopkeeper didn't answer, and laughed to himself: "It turned out that he fell into the way of his brothers, no wonder so." ”

Lu Qi bowed his hand and said, "Big brother, the villain is ignorant, please make it clear." ”

The shopkeeper saw that Lu Qi was still humble after all, and said with a faint smile: "You don't know, this Wang Feng Wang Yu brothers are people from the suburbs of Putian, they lost their father and mother in their early years, so no one cares about them, and they have wandered in the rivers and lakes since they were children. ”

Lu Qi was surprised and asked, "What are the abilities of Wang Feng and Wang Yu brothers, who are so young that they can be the best liars?" ”

At this time, several customers came to the store, and the shopkeeper said: "I want to take care of the business, so I will not accompany me." Seeing that he was busy talking to the guests, Lu Qi had to silently withdraw from the store with the purple gold bowl in his hand.

As soon as he arrived, there were no customers in the "Ancient and Modern Yuan", and the shopkeeper cleaned up and was about to close the door, when he suddenly saw a person walk in, looked up and saw that it was Lu Qi, and asked, "Why are you here again." ”

Lu Qi arched his hand and said: "Big brother, in Xia Luqi, Henan Luoshan people, there are many people who dare not disturb during the day, it has closed at this time, Lu Qi is willing to spend a few taels of silver, and dare to ask the eldest brother to tell him about the second deception of the Wang family, so that he can go to the government to report the case, and he will definitely arrest these two evil ghosts who harm people." As he spoke, Luffy pulled out a few pieces of silver and placed them on the table. It turned out that during the day, Lu Qi went to several other antique shops, and everyone said that this purple gold bowl was an ordinary bronze object, only worth a few hundred yuan, and Lu Qi knew that he had indeed been deceived.

Seeing Lu Qi's sincerity and the money to be earned, the shopkeeper closed the door of the store, made a cup of tea for Lu Qi, moved a bamboo chair to sit opposite, and said: "You foreigner is really naïve and ridiculous, think about it, ordinary people know the second deception of the big name, but the official master has never heard of it?" The two brothers Qianli Feng and Wannian Yu have also entered the county office, but every time they enter, the official office confiscated the dirty things they defrauded, and released the people, and the stolen goods were not returned to the deceived owner, and they were all confiscated. ”

Lu Qi asked puzzledly, "Why is that?" ”

The shopkeeper said, "Think about it, if the two of them are put in prison, won't those owners come to ask for the money they have been cheated of?" In this way, where do the officials and gentlemen get rich? ”

Lu Qi realized, nodded and said: "What the eldest brother said is extremely true, now the officialdom is dark, the people are suffering and no one has mercy, relying on the heavens and the earth and relying on the government, it is better to learn literature and martial arts skills, only if you are strong, can you avoid being bullied by others." ”

The shopkeeper said: "The two of them have to wander around the rivers and lakes every year, go out empty-handed, but after a few months, they all return with a full load. I'll tell you about a trick from my neighbor in my hometown, and you'll know how powerful these two liars are. The shopkeeper took a sip of tea, and Lucci quickly filled his cup, and then listened to him respectfully.

The shopkeeper seemed to enter into the wonderful memories, and all talked with admiration: "That winter, the weather was very cold, and the second deceived to go to Fuzhou to play, and when I first arrived in Fuzhou, I encountered a lot of sedan chair drivers and grooms who solicited customers. The two wanted to walk, and didn't plan to take a sedan chair and carriage, so they ignored them, my hometown neighbor Cui Gui is a man with a smooth face and a Fuzhou horseman, he recognized that the second deception was a foreigner, so he stubbornly entangled his face. Seeing this, the second deceived and decided to punish Cui Gui, Wang Yu said to Wang Feng: "Brother, you see that this brother is so enthusiastic, why don't we blow the wind and it rains?" This 'blowing the wind and raining' is a code word between the two, which means to deceive. Wang Feng understood, looked up, but saw the blue sky and white clouds, and the sky was clear, and asked, 'This weather is so good, what kind of wind is right?' It means asking what kind of deception is the case. Younger brother Wang Yu said: "The jade last time was really good, crystal clear, I like it." It means to go to the jade shop to cheat. Wang Feng smiled and said, "Then it will be windy first, and then it will rain, how about it?" This is also a code word, which means that the elder brother Qianli Feng will go first, and the younger brother will follow after Wannian Yu. After hearing this, Wang Yu smiled and said: "The wind and clouds are surging and the rain is coming. It means that brother, you go first, and I will come later.

The shopkeeper stopped and took a sip of tea, and continued to recall: "After saying these secret words, my brother Qianlifeng got into the other carriages and left first, and my younger brother Wan Nianyu said to Cui Gui: 'Big brother, go to Fuzhou's largest jewelry and antique store 'Wansheng Antique Shop', I will go to their boss to talk about something, and I will return here later, how much is it in total?" In fact, there is no such 'Wansheng antique shop', Cui Gui was stunned when he heard it, he has been soliciting customers in Fuzhou for many years, and he is very familiar with the streets and alleys, why don't you know that there is such a store? Wang Yu said with a smile: "It's not far, it's about a stick of incense in the past, and it takes me about half an hour to talk about business there, so you wait for me there, and pull me back later, how about fifty copper coins?" Cui Gui's heart blossomed when he heard this, where to find such a good business? immediately agreed: 'Okay, the master can talk for an hour.' Wang Yu asked, 'You should know the way?' Cui Gui said embarrassedly: "I really don't know where the 'Wansheng Antique Shop' is, please show me the way." Wang Yu said: "Just I'll drive, you sit in the car" When it arrives, I will calculate the round-trip fee for you. Cui Gui thought that he didn't have to drive by himself, and he could easily earn fifty yuan by hiding in the warm carriage, how could he not like it? ”

Lu Qi listened attentively, and the shopkeeper said attentively: "Wang Yu drove to the door of a store called 'Wanxing Jewelry Store', looked at the store sign, patted his head and said: 'Look at my memory, I remember Wanxing Jewelry Store as Wansheng antique shop.'" Cui Gui said with a smile: "I'll just say, where is there a 'Wansheng antique shop', I have been soliciting customers in Fuzhou for many years, there is no place I don't know!" Wang Yu took out 50 yuan and handed it to the groom and said, "I'm really sorry, I remember it wrong, you take the fare first, I'll go to talk about some business, you don't go anywhere, just stay in the car, and I'll pay you an extra 20 wen when you go back." Cui Gui was overjoyed, took the money and said happily: "Master, just go, I'll wait for you in the car." Wang Yu whistled a few loud whistles, got out of the car and tied the horse, patted the horse's neck, and then went straight to the store. ”

At this point, the shopkeeper asked Luffy, "Do you know what he meant by whistling before he got out of the car?" Lucci shook his head blankly.

"When the shopkeeper of Wanxing Jewelry Company heard the whistle, he looked out, and saw that Wang Yu was dressed luxuriously and came by car, thinking that there was a rich customer, and immediately greeted him with a smile: 'Childe, what do you want to buy?' Jewel? Diamond? Pearl? We've got it all here. ''Look at the golden ring,' Wang Yu said. At this time, another young man who was shopping for items in the store saw Wang Yu and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Yo, young master of the Wang family, it turned out to be you, why, you also came to see the jewelry?" When Wang Yu saw it, he was stunned at first, and he couldn't remember who this person was, he lowered his head and meditated for a while, and suddenly remembered, and said, "You are not the Fu Gongzi of the judge of the state government?" Oops, I haven't seen you for a long time, I almost can't recognize it,' Wang Yu hurriedly returned the salute. The young man smiled and said, "Wang Gongzi, you are really a noble person who forgets things, if I hadn't greeted you first, I'm afraid you wouldn't have recognized me." Wang Yu said ashamedly: "I'm ashamed, I've been busy with business lately." By the way, you also choose jewelry? The boy said, 'I'll just take a look.'" Wang Yu said boldly: "What do you like, you can choose, I will settle the bill later", the young man hurriedly excused himself: "Don't, how can this matter be done?" You pick slowly, I'll go for a walk. As he spoke, he took out a famous card and handed it to Wang Yudao: "Childe, don't forget me next time." Wang Yu took the name card, glanced at it, put it in his arms and said, "It will definitely not be next time." The young man said goodbye to Wang Yu and left Wanxing Jewelry. ”

At this point, the shopkeeper stopped again, took a sip of the teacup, and asked Lu Qi mysteriously, "Who do you guess this young man is?" ”

Lu Qi naturally replied: "Isn't it the Fu Gongzi of the judge's family?" ”

"What kind of Fu Gongzi, that's the Thousand Miles Wind King Wind."

"Wang Feng? What kind of name does the elder brother send to the younger brother? ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "This is the mystery of their brothers, Wang Feng first went to the jewelry store next to him, chatted with the shopkeeper for a few words, took the name of the shopkeeper and his hometown, and then wrote it on the paper and pretended to be a name post, and cleverly transferred this information to Wang Yu for Wang Yu to deceive." ”

Lu Qi was confused: "Why are the two of them?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "You don't understand this, you will naturally understand later." After the wind left, Wan Nianyu was busy choosing jewelry, Zhang Liang saw that there was a big customer, and followed Wang Yu's ass diligently, Wang Yu picked and picked, and took a fancy to two gold rings, one inlaid with sapphires, and the other inlaid with Hetian jade, which was expensive, not to mention worth twenty or thirty gold. Zhang Liang deliberately took the two rings to a small wooden table next to him, then poured tea and asked Wang Yu to sit down and choose slowly. Wang Yu pretended to screen carefully, and when he looked at it, he still had a soft spot for the one inlaid with sapphires and couldn't put it down. ”

Seeing that the shopkeeper had emptied the teacup, Lucci quickly filled it again and continued to listen. The shopkeeper said: "Wang Yu was about to pay for it, and suddenly asked, "This gem can't be fake, right?" ''What?'' How can it be fake, Gongzi said with a smile, our Wanxing Jewelry Store has been open for more than 30 years, and it has always been Tong Suo's undeceiving,' Zhang Liang swore a promise. Wang Yu thought about it, but still hesitated, and said to himself: 'No, I have to let Yuan Xu show me'. When Zhang Liang heard this, he asked, 'Yuan Xu? Is that Yuan Xu from the jewelry store opposite?' Wang Yu carefully checked the ring, and said casually: "Yes, we are Shao Wu's fellow countrymen, he is an old expert in this area, I went to his store yesterday to choose, but I have not been selected, it was he who recommended me to come to your store today." Zhang Liang laughed: "Wang Gongzi, you take it to Yuan Xu, if he says that the sapphire on it is fake, I will compensate you for a hundred taels of gold." Wang Yu didn't pay attention to the boss, pretending to screen the ring, Zhang Liang urged: "Wang Gongzi, don't hesitate, you don't believe me no matter how much I say, you can just ask Boss Yuan, you are a fellow villager with him, and I am also an old friend with him, and you can rest assured that he is testifying." Seeing him urging, Wang Yu knew that the fish had taken the bait, picked up the sapphire ring, and said to Zhang Liang: "I'll take it to Yuan Xu to see, and he said okay, I'll buy it." ''Take it, take it, I'm not afraid of fire refining this real gold,' Zhang Liang said confidently. ”

"Won't you come back?" Lucci finally understood.

The shopkeeper smiled, "Do you want to come back?" Zhang Liang saw Wang Yu's carriage stopped at the door, and he knew the judge again, and saw Wang Yu take the gold ring into the store thirty or forty steps away from the opposite side, how could he have thought that there was fraud in it? Zhang Liang didn't see Wang Yu come back for a long time, and then he found a friend to look at the store, and he ran to Yuan Xu's side to ask, only to know that Wang Yu had slipped from behind, Zhang Liang was in a hurry, hurriedly went back to detain the carriage, and quarreled with the inexplicable Cui Gui. Later, Zhang Liang recruited people to beat Cui Gui violently, forcibly detained the carriage, seized fifty copper coins, and sent him to the government to accuse him of cooperating with Wang Yu to defraud. Fortunately, the government judged the case impartially after finding out the original situation, and locked him up for half a month and released him, and then he was spared from prison. ”

Lu Qi carefully recalled the mystery, and unconsciously admired himself: Wang Yu pretended to be a rich and noble son, and disguised himself as an acquaintance with the official family, raised his identity, and deceived people's trust, the Quanzhou County Cheng, the Duke of the Phoenix Inn, and the old beggar must be his accomplices, and the sloppy young man should be Wang Feng, after he and Wang Yu left the Phoenix Inn, a group of dukes hurried there, or by chance, or Wang Feng reported a false case, which led the county officials to rush to the inn. In short, it's all fake.

Lu Qi understood all this, and said to himself: "This thief has shown me a small favor along the way, and I have said that he is a man of great kindness, who would have thought that in the depths of his kindness is a greedy heart, it is really hateful!" ”
